A reminder and heads up from the Access Dev Team. Access 2007, along with the other Office 2007 parts will no longer be supported. The Access standalone components are included in this end of cycle, so if you need, or want to have them for possible use in the future, now will be a good time to download them. Because we saw this question a few times after products reached the end of cycle, Microsoft ending the support for Office 2007 it does not mean it's an abandonware, just not-supported-ware.
As Im sure you are all aware, Office 2007 is approaching end of extended support.
This is a heads up that the following Access components that are available as standalone downloads only, share the same lifecycle:
Access 2007 runtime - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/de...ls.aspx?id=4438
Office Data Connectivity Components (aka ACE) - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/de...e190a24fa6=True
ADE - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/de...s.aspx?id=24569 (includes the packaging wizard, source code control, and the save as template functionality)
Along with other Office 2007 products, their support will end soon and they will not be available to download anymore.

No. As the notice says quite clearly, it applies to Office 2007. All newer versions remain the same.
Moreover, I'm puzzled as to how we could leap from OFFICE 2007 is going out of support to the total end of Access all by itself? Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, but this is why we see so many false rumors get started and spread about Access.

Just a heads up that all the links are now dead.
I'll never understand why Microsoft goes so much out of their way to make old versions disappear! Service Packs, Knowledge Base articles, so much valuable information continuously lost.

Pension Plans and Their Role in Today's Talent Hunt: From CFO to CFO
Managing retirement risk—while attracting and retaining the talent needed to be competitive—is increasingly on the minds of CFOs. Deloitte's second-quarter 2013 CFO Signals™ survey showed that 65% of CFOs have tried at least one de-risking tactic and that companies appear to be employing a broader range of strategies to reduce retirement risk, including plan redesigns, closures and freezes and revisions in retiree medical plans. At the same time, CFOs recognize the role of pension plans in the ongoing challenge to recruit and retain critical talent, across the enterprise.
While defined benefit (DB) plan terminations may appear to be an attractive solution to some organizations, they can produce unexpected outcomes, as Frank Friedman, CFO and Managing Partner of Finance and Administration for Deloitte LLP, discusses below. The challenge for CFOs is to continually balance risk and return for their organizations, while at the same time helping to ensure that their organizations have the talent they need to grow.
Q: How have pension plans evolved to become a more important issue for CFOs?
Frank Friedman: Pensions impact multiple parts of a business, and are indeed an important issue for CFOs, as well as CHROs, COOs and most other C-suite executives. Pension plans have garnered the attention of regulators, stock analysts, rating agencies and others in the investment community.
CFOs in particular pay close attention because of the direct impact a pension plan has on financial matters such as earnings, cash needs, debt capacity and credit rating.
The evolution of pension funding rules, combined with recent volatility in the marketplace, has exacerbated the financial impact and the ability to forecast the implications. CFOs need to continue to be engaged in the process and be prepared to make decisions and change course to help manage the potential impact pensions can have on the overall business.
Q: At a time when more companies are ending or freezing their DB pension plans to new employees, why has Deloitte chosen to continue offering one?
Frank Friedman: Since I joined Deloitte more than 30 years ago, our organization has grown and changed significantly. We've evolved from a traditional accounting and tax service provider to a much broader organization. This evolution has resulted in a diverse population of professionals who have different interests with respect to pensions. So at Deloitte, we are comfortable that the combination of defined benefit and defined contribution (DC) plans best meets the needs of our employees.
The decision to freeze or terminate a DB plan should not be taken without careful consideration, particularly as the economy, the talent landscape, and the interests and needs of our employees continue to evolve. While it's understandable for organizations to consider pulling back on offerings such as defined benefit plans, many factors and possible scenarios have to be considered, including the impact on employees. During the 2008/2009 timeframe, when many saw their 401(k) account balances severely depressed, our DB plan not only held its value, but increased in value. With the safety net of our DB plan in addition to the 401(k), employees' retirement benefits were not as negatively impacted as other companies, allowing them more flexibility in their retirement decision-making.
Q: What actions are CFOs taking to control pension risk, to offset impacts on the overall business?
Frank Friedman: A number of strategies have been developed to help CFOs manage pension risks. Traditionally, many organizations have looked at plan design, and some have chosen to freeze their pensions or move to a hybrid plan approach. Pension risk management strategies go far beyond plan design, though. For example, many organizations have also implemented Liability Driven Investment policies to help manage the impact that market volatility (debt markets in particular) can have on plan financials. Others have focused on strategies designed to help manage the liability side of the equation, such as offering retiree buy-outs or lump-sum benefits to former employees. This type of strategy makes sense as long as the cost is appropriate for the organization.
Q: What have you done to help to make the pension program more efficient and cost effective, while at the same time attractive for talent recruiting and/or retention purposes?
Frank Friedman: First, I have educated myself on the features and risks of the current plans. I also have revisited the asset and liability strategies to help manage the risk for each of our plans and challenged my leadership team to select the appropriate advisors for our organization. During my tenure as CFO, we have modified the eligibility and vesting under the 401(k) plans, and added Roth features. On the asset side, we have made changes to the investment lineup of the 401(k) plan to ensure employees have access to an efficient and diverse mix of investments, looked at the asset mix of our defined benefit plans to assure they have the risk profile we want for each plan, and started working with new asset advisors to help us better manage the risk to Deloitte and help our employees manage their risk. We regularly review our programs to validate their alignment with our current and future talent and finance objectives. To me the important thing is there can be no "sacred cows." You should be willing to challenge any part of the design or asset strategy to be sure it still meets your needs. In fact, a study is underway to analyze our current plan offerings and their continued appropriateness for the organization.
Q: How does the pension plan offered at Deloitte help attract and retain talent?
Frank Friedman: While it is necessary to offer plans to retain talent, retirement programs at most professional services firms are not necessarily key to attracting talent. When recruiting talent, particularly at the campus level, a number of factors, such as cash compensation and career development opportunities, come into play before employer-provided retirement benefits.
I do believe our programs have helped us retain our talent, particularly at the senior levels. Defining talent objectives and understanding the population are key factors. For younger, more mobile employees, DC plans tend to be more attractive, whereas for experienced employees, traditional DB plans in combination with DC plans are appealing. At some organizations there is a lack of communication on the value of employer-provided plans. At Deloitte, we have increased the focus on communicating the benefits of our DB/DC plans, and I believe this has helped us use them more effectively.
Q: How closely does your finance team work with the talent or human resources organization on pension matters?
Frank Friedman: Very Closely. In fact, I have a team within finance dedicated to partnering with talent on retirement and benefit issues. Here at Deloitte, our product is our talent, so designing programs that reflect the needs of our business, our people and market trends is critical. For public companies, which face a greater focus on quarterly profitability than private organizations such as Deloitte, providing meaningful and cost-effective benefits may be more important than ever. I believe it's imperative for finance to work with the talent organization on a wide array of issues, not just benefits. As the talent marketplace becomes more competitive, the business and the talent organization should work hand in hand on programs to foster attraction, retention and development.
Working together, finance and the talent organization can better align the people strategy with the business goals, determine the way to efficiently deliver benefits and, ultimately, increase the ROI on them.
Q: In other articles, you've discussed the importance of analytics to the work of your finance team. How are analytics applied to pension planning?
Frank Friedman: Analytics can be used in a number of ways with respect to pension planning from both a financial and talent perspective.
We use econometrics and econometric modeling to develop and analyze scenarios for future business performance. We began to model a number of economic variables against our past performance in the 2007-2009 downturn. Given the impact pensions can have on financial performance, there are variables that track the plan's performance. This modeling allows us to flag conditions that may require proactive adjustments to our pension strategy to manage unwanted consequences.
More specific to talent, analytics can be used to better understand the different pension interests of employee populations and monitor how these interests might change over time.
Q: What key roles could DB plans play within the private sector in the future?
Frank Friedman: Having a defined benefit plan that rewards longevity can go a long way toward retaining key talent. As talent and pension goals evolve, I believe we will see DB plans being used to target the portion of the population that is most likely to value these types of plans and not provided to those who would be less likely to appreciate them. For those groups who are likely to value a deferred compensation vehicle like a pension plan, I expect employers will continue to find ways to defer employee earnings through qualified retirement programs, and DB plans will likely continue to play a role. Pensions will continue to be an important talent management tool, as they can be designed to incent employee behavior, such as savings sustainability, while at the same time to reward longevity.

BOSTON — Before the Boston Bruins took their morning skate at the TD Banknorth Garden, the club's two walking wounded players — defenseman Aaron Ward and forward Petteri Nokelainen — took advantage of the open ice to skate for the first time since their respective injuries.
Ward re-injured his leg two shifts into Bruins' Dec. 12 game after he'd missed four contests. Nokelainen suffered an upper-body injury in the same game.
"It's another step toward getting better, and (Ward) and Nokey went on the ice this morning and just had a light skate. So again we're going to try to rebuild him to the point where we can get him back in the line-up and see if he can last more than a shift," said head coach Claude Julien.
Julien went on to explain that there's no one to blame for Ward's brief return in Atlanta.
"He really felt he was ready. He had skated for two or three days. From what we saw, we felt he was ready. He just happened to get into a situation where he battled more than he had in practice and he felt it. So cautiously and the right decision to pull himself out. Those kind of injuries, if you push too hard, you could push yourself back for a few months. He did the right thing, and now we took a step back and we're going to get him back to playing at 100 percent. … I don't think it was a bad decision on anybody's part. It was more that we didn't really know. We felt he was a go and so did he."

Unfortunately, I have lost the way. Lack of sleep over the past year has prevented me from remembering dreams, and forgetfulness has made me slip up on the frequency of reality checks. I used to be able to remember 2+ dreams per night and have a lucid dream about once every few weeks. Now, I'm lucky if I remember a dream a week.

Hey everyone! After having great success with my 10g (see HERE) I've decided to turn my 55g into a planted tank! The stocking isn't exactly the best so please don't give me too much hate for it (if it's not broken, don't fix it). My stocking is as follows:
3 Angelfish
1 Silver Dollar
1 Male Convict Cichlid
3 Female Guppies
7 Australian Rainbows
1 Syndontis Catfish (not exactly sure on which type it is for sure)
But I've decided that once my Convict Fry in my 29g get big enough to sell, I'm going to move my Rainbows, Guppies, and Silver Dollar over to the 29g so they don't stress the Angels out too much. I'd like to get a big school of Corys along with my Angelfish because I absolutely LOVE Corys!
Well, now that you know a little about my tank, let's get started with some pictures because I mean, who doesn't want to see the pictures right?
Here's the tank with fake plants and driftwood (except 2 pieces of real driftwood):
When I was out looking for driftwood yesterday, I managed to find a sweet piece:
Here's all the plants acclimating in the 55g:

Gish, University of Southern Maine professor of English, holds a copy of her book about Scottish poet Hugh MacDiarmid. She will be honored next month in Scotland for her contributions to Scottish literature (University of Southern Maine photo) "The Little White Rose of Scotland": USM Professor Honored for Work in Scottish Literature PORTLAND, Maine – Hugh MacDiarmid, the 20th-century Scottish poet, once wrote of his love for his homeland: "The rose of all the world is not for me. /I want for my part/ Only the little white rose of Scotland /That smells sharp and sweet – and breaks the heart." A University of Southern Maine (USM) professor of English who specializes in Scottish poetry, and particularly that of MacDiarmid, discovered that same love for Scotland a number of years ago. She will be honored next month for her research and scholarship in Scottish literature by one of the top literary organizations in that country. Nancy K. Gish, who has been teaching at USM since 1980 and also is founding director of the USM Women and Gender Studies Program, will travel to Edinburgh to be confirmed during a reception as an Honorary Fellow of the Association for Scottish Literary Studies (ASLS). Gish is a faculty member in the USM Department of English, College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Announcing the award in an acknowledgement letter to Gish, the ASLS Council members "expressed their recognition and admiration of the valued and major contribution which you have made to the support and enrichment of the tradition of Scottish literature." Gish called the award "an enormous honor" and "a recognition of a life of work that started in 1975." "I was absolutely stunned and thrilled, and I'm still full of myself over it and very excited about going to Edinburgh," she said recently. "When I looked at the letter, I couldn't believe who had sent it." "Professor Gish is an exemplary scholar and teacher and well deserving of this award," said Lynn Kuzma, dean of USM's College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. "She not only distinguishes herself, but also our college and university. We are very proud of her." Founded in 1970, the ASLS is an independent educational charity, similar to the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) that aims to promote the study, teaching, and writing of Scottish literature. In 2010, for its 40th anniversary, the organization members decided to confer honorary fellowships on a select group of distinguished contributors to the field of study, but later realized there were more who should be honored. It was decided to confer the award on 100 contributors over the first three years and then add a few each year. Gish, who received her doctorate of philosophy in English from the University of Michigan, has been named as one of those honorees, who include such notables as the late Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and playwright and 1995 Nobel Prize winner in literature. Gish pointed out that there are very few scholars in the U.S. who study Scottish modernism or Scottish literature, with some exceptions for such writers as Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. She said the country "is a distinct, fascinating, extraordinary culture and not simply part of a generalized 'Britain.'" "Scottish literature has largely been ignored by Anglo-American critics," Gish noted. "There are quite a few reasons for this," including the dominance of English culture, economics, language and literature. The professor first started doing Scottish studies in 1977 after receiving a copy of MacDiarmid's poetry. Comparing it to the work of American poet Emily Dickinson, Gish said, "I started reading it, and it was brilliant. I thought, 'I'm supposed to be a specialist in modern literature, and I've never read it.' … I felt as if my head was coming off." In 1979, she received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to do research for a book on the poet, "Hugh MacDiarmid: The Man and His Work," published by Macmillan in 1984, followed in 1992 by another book, "Hugh MacDiarmid: Man and Poet." In 1977, Gish went to Scotland and met MacDiarmid, visiting him in his home and interviewing him for about an hour and a half. She also got to "interview everyone I could find who had known him," she said, including relatives and colleagues, including Heaney on MacDiarmid's influence on Irish literature. MacDiarmid, who died a year later, actually wrote two letters giving Gish permission to copy his literary materials for her work. "I still have the letters he wrote to me personally," Gish said, adding that she hoped some day to preserve them in a permanent collection. That trip led to more books, a critical monograph and an edited collection of criticism and numerous articles. Fascinated by Scottish literature, Gish has continued to write about not only MacDiarmid, but also contemporary Scottish women poets, such as Liz Lochhead and Jackie Kay, the latter whom Gish brought to USM as a visiting faculty member. Gish's current scholarly work focuses primarily on the effect of World War I on English, Welsh and Scottish poetry, and she now is teaching a course at USM on that topic. She also is an authority on modernism and in particular, T.S. Eliot. She has published three books on Eliot, as well as numerous articles, and has made a number of scholarly presentations about him in the U.S. and Europe. The USM professor said that studying Scottish literature "has made my life far richer and wonderful." The ASLS award, Gish said, is "an affirmation of a lifetime of bringing international ideas and understanding to students at USM … my students deserve to have a window into the world."

Hi all,
Not totaly sure where to post this, but since im getting the error with my mac, i figured here would be a good place to start. Recently (the past 2 months or so) i have been unable to delete messages in my hotmail account when using my firefox browser on an OS 10.3 powerbook G4. I can move messages to other folders, navigate my account, and change settings, but i cannot delete emails in ANY folder (inbox, junk, personal folders, etc) when using firefox. I switch to IE and Safari and the problem goes away (for those two browsers). I didnt make any changes to my firefox settings to have made this happen. Ive tried adding "www.hotmail.com" to my trusted site list, and cleared cache and history. Disabled my software firewall (netbarrier x3) and have used random wifi and cat5 connections to check my email. None of this works for firefox. Has anyone else come across this problem, or know of a possible fix? Thanks for your help.
FYI, i primarily use my mac as i am always on the go. I havent recently tried checking my hotmail with firefox on a win or *nix box, and do not know if I would encounter the same error. Also, when i check an email and then click 'delete', the little "im your browser's icon letting you know im doing something" doesnt even flinch.

Where there is a full-faired 2013 Honda CBR500R, there must be a naked 2013 Honda CB500F — and thus the Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) makes a proper return to American soil. Priced at a vey modest $5,499 ($5,999 with ABS brakes), the Honda CB500F is an affordable, dependable, and stylish street-naked or "standard" motorcycle for the masses.
Like the rest of Honda's 500cc line, the CB500F is based around a modest liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, 180° crank, parallel-twin motor that will put down 54hp at the wheel for the US market (tiered-license countries will see a 47hp machine).
At 420 lbs ready to ride with a full tank of fuel, the 2013 Honda CB500F saves 8 lbs off its clothed sibling (click here to read our full description of the new CBR), with the lack of fairings being the real distinction between the two machines.
Available in either black or pearl white, expect the Honda CB500F to be at your local Honda dealer in April of 2013 (the ABS version is available only in black). Full technical specifications are after the jump.

UK schools to revert to Roman numerals, announces Gove
In a move expected to be marginally less unpopular and unworkable than most of his other ideas, Michael Gove has announced that from 2014 UK schools will revert to teaching in Roman numerals.
The idea is the brainchild of a conservative think tank charged by the Education Secretary with charting the causes of the drastic decline in school standards in Britain since the withdrawal of the Roman Empire in 410 AD. [read...]

NH-Maine bridge on track for opening this summer
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — The new Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire to Maine is still scheduled to open to traffic this summer.
Contractor Archer Western has put into place the new south span and a concrete deck. It has started erecting the south tower.
Steel tower pieces made by Structural Bridge in Claremont are being erected piece by piece by a barge-mounted crane near the south span. That will take about month to complete.
Plans are for the north span to be completed in March and floated into place at low tide, using the same process as used for the south span.
While the bridge between Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine, would be open this summer, Archer Western says final work, including landscaping and cleanup, will take until the end of the year.

The Principle Approach is a great way to teach, but it is an even better way to learn. I have become a student again, and my learning is rich and deep.
T.M., teacher
I must tell you that I am enjoying teaching using the Priciple Approach so much! It is so user friendly and guides the teacher rather than dictating.
S.L., homeschool mom
I'm new at incorporating the Principle Approach to our learning center curriculum. However, after 1 month of thorough study and one quarter of practical application, I already see the results I was expecting. It is my desire to encourage parents, teachers and administrators to look into the Principled Approach, a philosophy of education that truly inspires young people to learn God's way.
J.A. teacher
I really valued reading the Homeschool Companion by Joni Harsh. Although I must admit, it still left me rather hungry for more! It was an excellent place to start.
The pieces previously missing in my instruction seemed to shine with a bright light. When I began to reason from cause to effect in my own teaching, I could then pass that along to my students. I began to start my teaching with higher level thinking rather than looking for a way to "tack" it on. My classroom continues to grow each day because of this experience. It launched me on a continual journey of discovering God's truth in every aspect of every subject.

Hi ladies...
I was wondering if anyone knew what to do about this?
My LO loves to claw at my shoulders and arms while I am cradling her and nursing her to sleep. She only seems to do this during the day, and if I pull her hand away she won't calm down and fall asleep. It makes her very fussy to thwart her little hands...!
It is crazy how strong she is. I have little scabs on my arms and a few on my chest from her being a very enthusiastic nursling.
Any advice for us??

Nodaway County Business Success Story
Maryville, Mo., manufacturer receives assistance from one of University of Missouri Extension's Small Business Technology Centers.
A manufacturing revolution has arrived in northwest Missouri. Ray Riek, CEO of Carbolytic Materials Co., and his operations staff in Maryville are applying a recently developed proprietary method to produce carbon black, a substance much like graphite with a multitude of applications in everyday products.
The extraordinary manufacturing process has brought a new production plant and a couple of dozen manufacturing jobs to northwest Missouri in the past year.
Carbon black is among the 50 top industrial chemicals produced worldwide. It's used as a reactant in rubber to provide abrasion resistance. Its primary use is in the manufacture of tires. In addition it has a variety of industrial rubber applications, and it acts as a tinting agent in almost every product tinged black.

China's stranglehold on the global aluminium industry could be weakened by changes to export laws in Indonesia, according to American giant Alcoa.
Indonesia on Sunday enforced a long-awaited mineral export law that effectively bans unprocessed ores from leaving Indonesian shores.
The policy is designed to force companies to build processing plants and other downstream infrastructure on Indonesian soil, and pundits expect it to affect the trade of bauxite and nickel in particular, and possibly tin.
China imports close to a quarter of its bauxite - which is the initial raw ingredient in the production of aluminium - from Indonesia, and Alcoa chairman Klaus Kleinfeld said the ban could force China to curtail some of its refining and smelting capacity.
''China is nervous, and you can see that by their actions,'' he said, in reference to China's increased buying of bauxite over recent months.
The Chinese aluminium industry has built up more than nine months' worth of bauxite in stockpiles, and Mr Kleinfeld said that was a deliberate strategy in anticipation of the Indonesian ban.
''They are preparing for something to happen in their market,'' he said.
Australia has large reserves of bauxite in Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory, and miners of the commodity - including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto - could benefit if Indonesia limits its exports.
Some British analysts have speculated that the Indonesian ban is the biggest supply risk to face nickel and aluminium markets in recent years, while Macquarie analysts also highlighted it in recent research notes.
''In our view, alternative Pacific Basin suppliers will not be able to totally offset the drop in Indonesian exports,'' said Macquarie analysts.
China's mass production of aluminium has rendered Alcoa a break-even operation, despite its huge global portfolio.
Alcoa has two aluminium smelters in Australia but is expected to close one of them - Victoria's Point Henry smelter - within months due to its long-term lack of profitability.
Fairfax Media reported last week that Alcoa had not sought further government support beyond the current round of state and federal government assistance for the smelter, near Geelong.
Point Henry has a production capacity of 180,000 tonnes a year. Alcoa also operates the newer Portland smelter. This plant, which has a lower cost, produces about 358,000 tonnes of aluminium a year.
Former BHP boss Marius Kloppers was referring to China's influence on the aluminium industry when in 2012 he declared the sector to be structurally - rather than cyclically - challenged.
BHP has exposure to the final stage of the aluminium cycle through smelters in South Africa and Mozambique, while Rio Tinto also has a large exposure to the sector, including the ageing Bell Bay smelter in Tasmania.

If a person enters the Masjid during one of the time when making prayer is makrooh (eg. sunrise, sunset, zawaal,...), does he still have to pray two rakaa Tahiyat Al-masjid.
Praise be to Allaah.
There are differences among the scholars concerning this matter. The correct opinion is that Tahiyat al-masjid is permitted at all times, even after Fajr and after 'Asr, because of the general applicability of the hadeeth "When any one of you enters the Mosque, he should not sit down until he has prayed two rak'ahs" (Saheeh – agreed upon), and because this is one of the prayers that is done for a specific reason, like Salaat al-Tawaaf (prayer done after circumambulating the Ka'bah) and Salaat al-Kusoof (prayer at the time of an eclipse). The correct view concerning all of these is that it is permissible to do these at times when prayer is generally disallowed, like making up missed prayers. Concerning Salaat al-Tawaaf, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O Banu 'Abd Manaaf, do not prevent anyone from circumambulating this House and praying at any time of night or day." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad and the authors of Sunan with a saheeh isnaad); concerning Salaat al-Kusoof, he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The sun and moon are two of the Signs of Allaah; they are not eclipsed because of the death or life of anyone." (1/332).

Posted on 09/08/2008 9:07:24 AM PDT by rrstar96
(English-language translation)
HAVANA (AP) - Cuban dissidents sent U.S. President George Bush a letter asking him to temporarily suspend some of the sanctions against the island so aid may be sent following hurricane Gustav.
"We ask you that, at least for two months, you lift the restrictions of the embargo that concern the relations between the exiled Cubans and those who live in the island," read a letter signed by Martha Beatriz Roque and Vladimiro Roca on behalf of a small group called Agenda for the Transition.
The dissidents asked for permission to send money and packages and for Cuban-Americans to travel to the island to have physical contact.
Hurricane Gustav damaged some 100,000 dwellings and forced the authorities to shelter some 400,000 people, in addition to causing considerable damage to the electric-power system and telecommunications.
"Knowing the Cuban government's instransigence in accepting aid from your country, we are appealing to the highest authority there to request that American non-governmental organizations be allowed to come to the aid of this region," further stated the letter, [copies of] which were sent to foreign media and [Cuban] President Raúl Castro.
Consulted by AP, Roque indicated that the letter was delivered on Wednesday afternoon to the Office of United States Interests in this capital, and officials confirmed to her on Thursday that the White House already received it.
For five decades, Washington has maintained a harsh embargo against Cuba in order to force a change in the Communist-government system and support dissident movements.
Things are getting worse for Cuba now that Ike is battering the island. In any event, the dissidents are wisely asking for help from American NGOs rather than the U.S. government itself.
Even if Bush does that, no way the Cuban government will allow it. They need that embargo to keep them in power.
I feel bad for the Cuban people..
I hope Gitmo is OK.
" I feel bad for the Cuban people.. "
So do I. We should absolutely do it; going the NGO route is a good idea. The cruel irony is that, if Michael Moore was on the boat with a bullhorn, they might accept the aid; but since that might make the USA look good, he'd never do it. Also, that would result in actually helping people, something that interests MM not at all.
courtesy ping
I feel bad for the Cuban people.
"I don't ... let Communism take care of them, isn't that what they "voted" for?
If they had any guts they'd have overthrown Castro decades ago."
Easier said from the comfort of your own chair. Cuba has had a peculiar way of taking care of dissentors.
So do I,,,, but perhaps it is like Jefferson said " a revolution very few years is good",,,,, it has been about 45 years in Cuba.
Supposedly the best nationalized health care, but now they need help.
Michael Moore and the libs will talk alot, but not show,, that is a given.
I dont ... let Communism take care of them, isnt that what they voted for?
If they had any guts theyd have overthrown Castro decades ago.
Now is not the time to come to the aid of Cuba in any way. Let Russia, which has said it plans on renewing its ties to Cuba take care of them. We should stay out of this as there is nothing to be gained at all from shelling out our taxpayers' money on Cuba. Russia and Cuba will be making trouble for us again shortly as Russia attempts to stick it to us through its surrogate Cuba. Let Russia sink its oil money that it has made off of us into aiding Cuba after the hurricane. Geez, what are we, a bottomless pit? What fools we are. Compassion that kills, .... us.
Agreed. Putin and Chavez are supposed to be rolling in oil money. Let them pay for aid to Cuba.
The money would go to the Castro family. It would not be distributed.
Let Sean Penn go down there and bail out the water with Dixie Cups.
I didn't say give them aid. I said it is easier for people in a position of safety to make bold statements of overthrowing repressive regimens. Standing up at the wrong time can be hazzardous to one's health (Hungary '56 Tiannemen Square).
I have thought for years that a good hurricane might be destabilizing enough to help topple Castro. Then, I'd help them.
Talk to Castro.
Quite an "exposé" for the Cuban Communist newspaper Granma, don't you think?
Get off your high horse and learn some history before you speak. My uncles were shot in 1963 fighting for freedom in Cuba in the Escambray.
If you don't care about that why don't you study some history and learn that some of your freedom was bought by Cubans who raised funds for the American Cause during the Revolutionary War, including funds for that small and insignificant battle of Yorktown?

Authorities are trying to "keep an open mind" as they investigate the deaths of two children found shot inside their Hansen Park home, a Kennewick police official said Tuesday.
Few details have emerged in the deaths of Kaitlin Deborah Austin, 16, and Ethan Andrew Austin, 12, students at Kamiakin High School and Desert Hills Middle School.
Sgt. Ken Lattin noted there has been speculation in the community that the deaths were a murder-suicide. It's too early to determine how they died, he said.
Investigators need time to piece evidence together and review the results of autopsies scheduled today, Lattin said.
"It's really important that we balance the needs of the family and victims with communicating to the public," he said. "We've got to make sure we are accurate. We have to be fair to the family."
The bodies were found around 5 p.m. Monday in the house on West Third Avenue by Andrew Austin — stepfather of Kaitlin and father of Ethan — when he came home, police said.
A handgun was found near the bodies and police are trying to determine if the gun was used in the shooting, Lattin said. Police have not called the deaths homicides and they are not searching for any suspects.
There is no evidence that someone else was in the house, Lattin said. There were no signs of a break-in and everything seemed normal when responding officers checked the house.
Officers were back on the streets of the Hansen Park neighborhood Tuesday, talking with neighbors again and trying to track down possible surveillance footage from surrounding houses.
Investigators are reviewing social media sites for clues and are in the process of performing forensic analysis of cellphones, Lattin said. Officials plan to get together today to review the case.
Police found other guns in the house that were legally registered to Andrew Austin, Lattin said. He did not say what types of guns or how many.
The Austin family has been cooperating with the investigation and is "devastated" by the children's deaths, Lattin said.
"To come home and find that, as a parent, is your worst nightmare," he said. Kaitlin was a junior at Kamiakin and Ethan was a sixth-grader at Desert Hills, the district said.
Kaitlin played softball for Kamiakin and helped the school win back-to-back state championships. There was an outpouring of support for her from the softball community across the state on social media sites.
"Our school community is heartbroken over this loss of these young lives," Superintendent Dave Bond said in a news release. "We are a large school district, but a very close community, and no one will be left untouched by this tragedy. Our prayers and concern are now with their family, friends and our staff members."
A large crowd gathered late Monday night at Lawrence Scott Park after news of the shooting spread. People held candles on the baseball field as they remembered the Austin children.
Prayer vigils were also held Tuesday night at the Kennewick First Presbyterian Church. The church opened up its sanctuary for people in the community to come to pray for the children.
The prayer vigils were to try to lift the children's family up through prayer and give them as much support as possible, Pastor Rob Hagen said. Family members attend the church and Ethan was a member of its Boy Scout program.
Many in the Scout program shed tears as they remembered Ethan on Tuesday night, Hagen said.
"He was an outstanding young man who loved the outdoors and was a great leader," Hagen said. "Other young Scouts loved him. He was a great kid."
By Tuesday night, a Facebook page dedicated to Kaitlin and Ethan had more than 6,900 likes. Friends, family, coaches and members of the community took to the Pray For Kate and Ethan Austin page to offer condolences and share memories of the children.
People posted pictures of the siblings together and many pictures of Kaitlin with her softball teammates, at dances and hanging out with friends.
Students at Kamiakin also posted a video of them singing a song to remember Kaitlin. A picture of a card for Ethan that classmates at Desert Hill made read "R.I.P. We'll see you again some day."

The Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic don't seem to have much in common. One is located in the midst of human civilisation and is surrounded by millions of people living in a warm tropical climate; the other is characterised by vast expanses of wilderness, an extreme climate of ice, wind and freezing temperatures and ranges from sparsely populated to totally uninhabited space.
Yet despite their differences, the Gulf and the Arctic do have some things in common - one very important thing in the presence of oil, and oil drilling operations that are pushing the very edge of technological capacity. Easy oil is over and the petroleum industry is being forced to plumb the unknown ocean depths for its oil, or to set its rigs amidst the uncertainties of arctic sea ice.
The Arctic is considered one of the largest untapped hydrocarbon reserves on the planet, and it is clear that this area will play a role in the global energy market. It is also clear that as the carbon in the atmosphere steadily erodes the annual extent of arctic sea ice, accessing this oil and gas is becoming less and less theoretical. Unfortunately, what remains theoretical is the technology required to effectively manage the environmental risks that come hand in hand with arctic oil. Up to this point, governments and industry have turned a blind eye to the technological limitations of response capability. The Gulf of Mexico calamity has forced the entire planet to reconsider what is responsible, and where regulators need to step in for the protection of the environment and the people that depend upon it.
But while questions are being asked and commissions formed, drilling is already proceeding in the Arctic. WWF poses the question: "What if the Gulf happens in the Arctic today?" The Indigenous peoples of the Arctic have called this area home for millennia – they need the jobs and prosperity that could be provided by development, but they are increasingly wary of the trade-offs that may accompany industrial development. Viewpoints across the Arctic differ regarding if and when oil should be accessed, but concern is rapidly outweighing a drive for short-term profits. WWF feels that the only logical approach is to call a halt on new drilling until governments, industry, NGOs and the people of the Arctic have time to answer the questions posed in this edition about the safety and sustainability of offshore arctic oil drilling, including its impact on global energy. We believe those who support drilling must be able to demonstrate that such activities are safe and sustainable before drilling plans are approved. Following the report from the US commission into the Gulf spill, a critical decision will lie before arctic governments. WWF is looking forward to working with governments and industry to make sure that the decision taken is the right one.

Global regulators diluted a planned debt limit for banks amid warnings that the measure would penalize low-risk financial activities and curtail lending.
The measure, known as a leverage ratio, was adjusted after "thoroughly analyzing bank data," the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision said in a statement following a meeting of regulators in Basel, Switzerland, yesterday. The group also modified a liquidity rule to make it easier to count a certain type of central bank loan against regulatory standards.
Changes to the leverage rule give lenders more scope to use an accounting practice known as netting to calculate the ratio, and ease proposals on how lenders determine the size of their off-balance sheet activities. Other amendments avert the risk that banks end up double-counting some derivativestrades, the regulators said.
"The finalization of an internationally consistent measure of bank leverage is a significant step towards the full implementation" of rules developed since the financial crisis, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who is also chairman of the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision which oversees the Basel regulators, said in a statement. "The leverage ratio is an important backstop to the risk-based capital regime."
Debt Reliance
Leverage ratios are designed to curb banks' reliance on debt by setting a minimum standard for how much capital they must hold as a percentage of all assets on their books. A quarter of large global lenders would have failed to meet the June version of the leverage limit had it been in force at the end of 2012, according to data published by the Basel committee in September.
While the regulators amended how banks should calculate the size of their assets, they didn't change the percentage of their own funds needed to meet the rule.
The committee will still require banks to hold capital equivalent to at least 3 percent of their assets once the final assessments are completed, without any possibility to take into account the riskiness of their investments. Banks will also be required to disclose how well they meet the rule from 2015, with the measure slated to become binding in 2018. The Basel group said it would continue to keep the measure under review, with the possibility to make further changes if needed.
Banks such as BNP Paribas SA, Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. called for amendments to the draft leverage rule published in June, saying it would adversely affect economic growth and job creation, make it more expensive for governments to sell their debt and give banks incentives to invest in riskier assets.

This woman was a Death Eater, who was summoned to the graveyard in Little Hangleton on the night of 24 June, 1995, after the newly resurrected Lord Voldemort summoned his followers to his side.
First Wizarding War
In order to have answered Voldemort's call on the night of his return, this woman must have been a Death Eater during the First Wizarding War, and had to have somehow avoided imprisonment.
Voldemort's return
This woman arrived at the graveyard in Little Hangleton after Lord Voldemort summoned his Death Eaters there on the night of 24 June, 1995. She Apparated into the area, but, unlike the other Death Eaters, was not wearing a Death Eater mask and hood.
Walking around his circled followers, Voldemort viciously greeted Crabbe Snr, Walden Macnair and Goyle Snr. When he came to the woman, instead of attacking her like the others, he simply looked at her as she bowed down to him, then moved on to greet Lucius Malfoy.
She witnessed Harry Potter being put under the Cruciatus Curse by Voldemort. When Harry made to escape, she stood by, as Voldemort had ordered the Death Eaters not to do anything.[3]
Behind the scenes
- This woman was portrayed by Olivia Higginbottom in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) (First appearance)
Notes and references
- ↑ Voldemort probably wouldn't employ followers without Acceptance Letters.

The Eagles (29-11) play another elimination game today at 1 p.m. against Wheaton or Endicott.
Daniel Webster recovered from a three-run deficit, rallying for four runs in the fifth inning.
Devin DeCarteret of Pelham, Josh Chasse and Darrik Marstaller of Keene all had run-scoring hits in the frame, and Rich Lizotte (3-for-5) bashed a two-run homer in the seventh inning.
Tyler Bonin from Campbell High of Litchfield went 2-for-5 with a triple and three RBI. Hurley, who entered in the second inning, allowed five hits and did not allow a run.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Thousands of people including Polish and European leaders attended the state funeral Sunday of Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Eastern Europe's first post-communist prime minister.
A pro-democracy activist and writer, Mazowiecki served as an adviser to Lech Walesa, the leader of the Solidarity freedom movement, which ousted communists from Poland in 1989.
Mazowiecki, who died Monday at a Warsaw hospital aged 86, became the first post-communist premier that year through 1990.
Poland's transformation inspired ouster of communism in the region, but the stringent economic reforms initiated under Mazowiecki led to his bitter defeat in the first popular presidential vote in 1990. He later served as U.N. envoy to war-torn Bosnia, but resigned in 1995 to protest what he perceived to be world inaction in the face of atrocities there.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso also joined mourners for the funeral Mass at St. John's Arch Cathedral in Warsaw. Mazowiecki's simple wooden coffin, covered by Poland's white-and-red national flag, was placed in front of the altar that was decorated with yellow roses. Mazowiecki was a deep Catholic believer and, according to those who worked with him, followed moral principles in his political decisions.
"We bid farewell to ... the prime minister of the time of transition ... the architect and constructor of ... our independent and democratic state. We bid farewell to our prime minister," President Bronislaw Komorowski said during the funeral. "Tadeusz Mazowiecki did a good service to Poland."
People gathered in front of the Arch Cathedral clapped when the coffin was carried out after the Mass.
Messages of condolences came from President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Francis and other leaders.
Mazowiecki was laid to rest in Laski, near Warsaw.

Some Of That $2.6 Billion May Go To Pay Some Legal Bills For Skype's Co-Founders
from the come-visit-the-US... dept
It's been pretty common knowledge throughout Skype's history that founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis were unable to come to the US, due to recording industry lawsuits about their involvement with Kazaa and the core FastTrack software beneath it (yes, by the way, that's why if you ever went to a US conference where Zennstrom presented, he did so remotely -- over Skype). It started about three years ago, when the entertainment industry filed lawsuits against Kazaa (and others). Zennstrom and Friis had set up Kazaa in an extremely distributed manner, and while they proceeded to sell off most of it, the rumors were that they still retained some ownership (and even loaned the money to the eventual buyer, Sharman). Unfortunately, most of these stories were mostly whispered around, rather than written up. However, with eBay's $2.6 billion buyout of Skype, some reporters have realized that, perhaps, this story is quite relevant. It tells how the two founders started Skype while basically running around Europe hiding out from entertainment industry lawyers -- and then, when found, basically ignored the various legal actions against them. While the article tries to paint the two as somehow not being "worthy" of admiration or money, it's not as if the RIAA that was suing them has a squeaky clean history either. No matter how you look at it, it seems like $2.6 billion can pay for some pretty high powered lawyers to sort this all out.

II Front End Outreach/Measurement:
Engage and Monitor Patients
Manage Care of Populations
Measure Outcomes & Satisfaction
Close Gaps & Improve Care
Phase I does not improve health without Phase II, and there are 3 technology options to remotely engage, monitor, and measure the outcomes of a specific population (I am speaking of chronic populations, the target of healthcare reform, not every individual in geographical region)
1 Voice -automated, interactive
2 Data- Email/Text
3 Video
We chose a hybrid 'voice' technology on the front end, data on the back(provider) end, because both the size, and characteristics of most 'at risk' populations (elderly) necessitates quick and easy to use, anywhere, for scalability. We determined video, while a good technology, was too intrusive for most, and the special hardware, software, and WiFi was needed, limit it's use to much smaller populations.
