FORT DRUM, N.Y., Dec. 6 - Vice President Dick Cheney, appearing before more than 2,000 troops here in northern New York, said Tuesday that the administration had "a comprehensive strategy for victory" in Iraq and was making progress in training Iraqi forces.
Mr. Cheney's speech picked up themes from President Bush's address on Nov. 30 at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. While Mr. Bush conceded some setbacks in the war, he emphasized that he had a plan, which was laid out in a 35-page document called "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq."
Mr. Cheney, who in speeches last month forcefully challenged critics of the war, was not as blunt on Tuesday. He did say "a sudden withdrawal" would be "unwise in the extreme."
"To leave that country before the job is done would be to hand Iraq over to car bombers and assassins," he said.
He highlighted the administration's new overview: that progress is being made in training Iraqi troops, enough to allow eventually for a gradual downshifting in the role of American forces.Continue reading the main story
"At this time last year, there were only a handful of Iraqi battalions ready for combat," he said. "Now there are more than 120 Iraqi Army and police combat battalions in the fight against the terrorists," and 40 of those battalions were "taking the lead in the fight," he added.
The subject of the preparedness of Iraqi troops has been a contentious one; in September, the top officer in Iraq, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., said only a single battalion was able to conduct operations independently of American forces. The administration has been trying to show there has been far more progress.
"Gradually, Iraqi forces are taking control of more and more Iraqi territory, and as they undertake more and more missions on their own, confidence is growing in the country," Mr. Cheney said. "The mission of the United States and our coalition will continue to change as necessary, as it has from the beginning. Going forward, we will have fewer nationwide operations and more specialized operations against the terrorists. We'll move out of Iraqi cities, reduce the number of bases and conduct fewer patrols and convoys."
But it is not clear when that will happen. Mr. Cheney continued to criticize, as he put it, calls for "artificial timelines set by politicians in Washington, D.C."
Responding to the speech, the New York State Democratic chairman, Herman Farrell Jr., said he was glad the vice president had paid tribute to the troops, "but Americans are also looking for leadership and a plan for how we're going to win this war, and on that count, the vice president's call to just stay the course was sorely disappointing."
The crowd, in a hangar at Fort Drum, included soldiers in the Army's 10th Mountain Division preparing for deployment and National Guard soldiers from the 42nd Infantry Division who were returning from Iraq. It was an enthusiastic crowd; the troops cheered even the landing of the vice president's plane, which was shown on large monitors as the music of the rock band AC/DC blared over the loudspeakers.
After his speech, Mr. Cheney presided over the re-enlistment of 20 servicemen and women, including Sgt. First Class Richard Tuttle, 37, who ended his most recent tour of duty in Iraq in June.
"I feel if we do pull out, in my opinion, that we would be making a mistake," Sergeant Tuttle said. "I was an Iraqi military adviser. I could see the difference we were making training the Iraqis, and I wholeheartedly feel that if we train more and more of the Iraqis, they're willing to take the sacrifices."
"They've come a long way," he said, but he added, "They're not quite there yet."
Mr. Cheney also held a private meeting with National Guardsmen and women who recently returned from Iraq.
Sgt. First Class Brady Smith, 48, a Guardsman from Louisville, Ky., was discharged after the first Persian Gulf war in 1991 and said he was surprised when he was called back.
"Who would have thought 13 years ago that we'd be using Reservists and National Guard to deploy this big?" he asked. "I never thought they'd get to the bottom of the pickle barrel, where I was at. I never thought I'd be called back."Continue reading the main story

E Ink readers like the Kindle and the NOOK are great for reading in the sunshine, but when it gets dark out, you face a problem: You either have to attach a flashlight to the device or turn on a light in your home.
With its newest NOOK Simple Touch, which comes with an embedded technology called GlowLight, Barnes & Noble thinks it has eliminated that problem forever.
Announced on Thursday afternoon, the new device becomes the first E Ink reader whose screen is also backlit. Barnes & Noble representatives say that the new screen illumination technology, which can be toggled on and off, makes its new NOOK Simple Touch the only device with a screen that is really readable both in direct sunlight as well as in the dark.
After trying the new NOOK Simple Touch in both the darkness and the light, and comparing its readability to a new iPad and an E Ink Kindle Touch under similar conditions, I've gotta say: Barnes & Noble might have something game-changing for the e-reader market.
The new reader has the same size and shape of the old NOOK, and is actually a bit lighter than the older model NOOK Simple Touch (which was already pretty light to begin with). What really separates the new NOOK Simple Touch from the current pack of tablets and e-readers, however, is its GlowLight, which illuminates the NOOK's screen from the edges. When you're outside, you can turn the GlowLight off to get the pure E Ink experience; when you're in the dark, the amount of light emanating from the screen can be adjusted with a slider. It's exactly the way you would adjust the brightness on an iPad or Kindle Fire, except the display isn't LCD; it's E Ink. That means you can actually see the screen if you're reading at the beach or by the poolside.
If the NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight works like it did in my demo -- and there's no reason to think it wouldn't -- it becomes the only e-reader that you can truly use anywhere and anytime. It's also perhaps the only e-reader worth buying if you've got the cash and are in the market for a reading-only device. The new device will cost $139, which is $40 more than the NOOK Simple Touch without GlowLight and $60 more than the cheapest Kindle, an ad-supported Wi-Fi version. You are essentially paying for an e-reader whose screen can also light up by itself -- no lamps, no reading lights.
Now, at a price point of $139, you're rubbing up against full-fledged tablet territory, and the NOOK Simple Touch is but a single-function e-reader without any apps or real web access. Devices with both of those things aren't much more expensive than the $139 Simple Touch: Amazon's Kindle Fire, for example, is $199, and Barnes & Noble's NOOK Color is $179. That slim price difference makes it clear that the NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight is for hardcore readers (people who are hardcore about reading, not people who read hardcore material) who want to be able to use a single device both indoors and out.
(Funny side note: Barnes & Noble is actually pitching the Simple Touch as the perfect device for couples, and its testing area for journalists was just a queen-sized bed in a dark room. The pitch goes something like this: if your partner likes to read in bed, and the light from the iPad or the bedside lamp bothers you while you're trying to sleep, you should buy him or her a NOOK Simple Touch. The light emitted from it is indeed gentler than that of an iPad, though it's unclear whether it's a big enough difference to convince buyers.)
What is clear is that E Ink screens like those on the Kindle and NOOK have long outperformed LCD screens like those on the iPad -- whose colors tend to "wash out" in the sun in daylight reading tests. And Barnes & Noble representatives said their backlight doesn't strain the eyes like iPad LCD screens.
This is Barnes & Noble's answer to the charge that E Ink readers are useless at night, and it's a definitive, convincing response. Pre-orders for the $139 NOOK Simple Touch begin immediately on the Barnes & Noble website, and the device will be released in May, in time for Mother's Day, according to a Barnes & Noble spokesperson.
Below, check out a bunch of in-person photos of the new NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight, including photos of the bed that Barnes & Noble had me try out the device on. Also see side-to-side shots with the old NOOK Simple Touch, which will remain on sale, by the way, for $99, for those who don't mind their bedside lamps.

Indicators Project
A Portrait of Herkimer and
Oneida Counties
Community indicators tell the story of our area, helping us to clearly see our strengths and challenges. The 80 indicators on this site each track a critical aspect of our community's health and place us in a context by providing comparative information from other communities. Each measure includes a description of the indicator, a brief analysis of trends, charts displaying trends over time, and tables providing data for our counties and others in our region, plus comparisons to the state and nation. For this project, we've selected four comparison counties that are included in each indicator: Onondaga, Ontario, Oswego and Wayne.
From this foundation of objective analysis of a common set of data, we can work together to make our communities even better.

Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow (Review)
Review by Jack Foley
THE title of Bombay Bicycle Club's fourth album in five years may suggest a farewell of sorts but fear not… this is the sound of a band in their prime who continue to go from strength to strength.
So Long, See You Tomorrow is a wondrous journey and a surefire contender for one of the album's of the year. It's also yet another indication of a band that never rests on its laurels, and which is always seeking to evolve and offer something different.
Penned by multi-talented frontman Jack Steadman – who wrote the record while travelling through India, Turkey, Europe and Tokyo – the ensuing sound is noticeably awash with references from each of these cultures. It's also celebratory of life's richness and diversity, even if there remains a deliberate ambiguity too.
As Jack explains: "I think there is a romantic side to it, although I always try to leave the meaning side of a song and theme wide open."
The sound, though, is positively brimming with vitality. It's an urgent, enriching listen – both vocally and instrumentally. The sound is big. It's life-affirming.
It's Alright Now is shot through with thrilling chorus highs and falsetto vocals, while Carry Me evokes memories of the most bustling cities in its percussion elements, albeit with vocals that soar almost as if in between the skyscrapers. It's epic, complete with swirling guitar riffs.
Earlier, opening track Overdone lays down an immediate marker of its disparate musical influences (on this occasion Bollywood), while Home By Now almost drifts into hip-hop territory – its urgent beats working brilliantly against shimmering piano hooks and a heady sense of the romantic that Steadman mentioned. Vocally, the falsetto notes err towards the ethereal and draw favourable comparisons with bands like Sigur Ros and Death Cab For Cutie. It's one of the out and out highlights.
Whenever, Wherever, meanwhile, briefly threatens to strip things down for a pensive, even melancholy ballad moment, before suddenly bursting to brilliant life with head-rush beats and synths and echoed harmonies that hit the highest of highs… and which just keep getting grander and grander. It's the epitome of the word euphoric by the time it reaches its magnificent conclusion.
Luna opens amid more Bollywood influence and has an urgency that's immediately gratifying (as well as a sound that defies easy comparison with any of Bombay Bicycle Club's contemporaries), while Eyes Off You again underlines that romantic quality that Steadman talked of – its lush but dusky piano chords working beautifully against a huskier, more brooding central vocal that occasionally bursts into falsetto. It's deliciously bittersweet too.
Feel re-introduces an Eastern cultural feel (one can imagine a belly dancer accompanying this effort) and once more compels you to want to dance along, while Come To also borrows from Bollywood throughout but also has moments of ambience more akin to Moby. It's boy-girl vocal exchange is great.
In truth, though, Bombay Bicycle Club don't put a foot wrong throughout this mesmerising musical journey. So Long, See You Tomorrow is a stunning achievement.

This past weekend, colon cancer awareness advocate Olivia Affuso ran the Lake Martin 100 mile endurance run in memory of her father, who died of colorectal cancer. Olivia's father, Mr. Stanley Dean Hampton, Sr was a husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend. His kindness and generosity were legendary in Orangeburg County where he was born. Mr. Stanley, as many referred to him, would do whatever he could to help another person. He was a servant to mankind even after his diagnosis of terminal colon cancer.
Mr. Stanley used his illness as a platform to spread the word about the importance of colon cancer screenings. He passed out flyers and talked to everyone he met about the fact that colon cancer is preventable and curable if found early. Mr. Stanley wanted to save as many lives as possible even after his death. One of his last wishes was to have the message of colon cancer screenings given at his memorial service. And indeed this last effort saved a life. His best friend gave the eulogy that day and soon after made an appointment for a screening. He too had colon cancer but it was in the early stages and curable. Many were grateful for Mr. Stanley's benevolence.
In addition to being an Orangeburg County Sheriff's Deputy and a Deacon in his church, Mr. Stanley was a passionate outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening and raising small animals. Mr. Stanley Dean Hampton, Sr. is missed by his family and friends.

Arsenal are confident that Arsene Wenger will continue as the club's manager next season and will honor the rest of his contract, which expires at the end of the 2013-14 season.
It's understood that Wenger will meet with Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis in a few weeks to identify transfer targets.

Most know him as Damon Salvatore or even as Boone Carlyle, but this weekend Heifer International got to know actor and television star Ian Somerhalder in a new role: Animal Lover, Conservationist and Activist.
The actor spent Saturday at Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Ark., getting to know Heifer's mission and work. He also put in some quality time with the Ranch's lead actors: Abu the camel and our herd of glorious goats.
A passionate conservationist who is close to the work of Conservation International, Somerhalder delved into agricultural practices and techniques while on the Ranch tour. He has started his own foundation, The Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which "aims to empower, educate and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures."
Somerhalder will be honored with a Noble Globe—the award Heifer bestows on individuals who act as citizens of the world, seeking to bring dignity and hope to those affected by environmental degradation and poverty—for his work to create sustainable change at Heifer's third annual Beyond Hunger: A Place at the Table gala in Los Angeles August 22.
Join Heifer as we honor Somerhalder and others in Los Angeles.

The look and feel of an NBA game is much different than a football game. Basketball rewards rapid play and frequent scoring, so game breaks are fewer and filled with frenetic activity, and the Smoothie King Center provides a much more intimate experience than the cavernous Superdome — no binoculars or altitude sickness pills required.
The Pelicans' dance team is really fun to watch; the Swoop Troop (young minions detailed to the ever-present Pierre the Pelican, who makes appearances throughout the building) are acrobatic and full of energy; and TV timeout interludes are designed to engage the crowd and keep the vibe rolling.
There are many inexpensive ticket packages, some as low as $11 per game, and many come with beer and food and special photo opportunities included. Packages come and go, and are listed at www.nba.com/pelicans/tickets.
Pelicans corporate communications manager Lindsey Mitchell says there will be several giveaway nights throughout the season to get your tchotchkes on, and lots of theme nights including Military Night, '70s and '80s Nights, Superhero Night and even Coastal Restoration Night.
If you have a few extra bucks to spend, the Pelicans offer more rarefied game experiences, including the Capital One Lounge — a "premium buffet" complete with Drago's grilled oysters and an upscale bar setting — and the Hub, North and South Club lounges. Even if you don't have a premium ticket, there are premium dining and drinking kiosks sprinkled throughout the building, including, of course, Smoothie King Smoothies.
If soft drinks are more your style, learn to love Pepsi.
There are lots of family-friendly options as well, including the Jr. Pelicans Kids Club — kids get T-shirts, hats, a miniature basketball, and opportunities to shoot free throws on the court after some games. For more info, check www.nba.com/pelicans/jrpelicans.html
Also on tap for this year: A bigger team store; an expanded main entrance; a new court with Pelicans decals; an expanded box office; a new sports bar on the 100-level with an expanded deck; and, last but not least, a new LED lighting system.

By Suleiman Al-Khalidi
AMMAN (Reuters) - Islamist prisoners in Jordan, including several prominent figures linked to al Qaeda, began a hunger strike on Saturday to protest about jail conditions, sources and officials said.
Among the 120 hunger strikers are radical cleric Abu Qatada, who was deported from Britain last July after a lengthy legal battle, and Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, a leading al Qaeda thinker, the sources said.
The strike began after prison authorities did not meet demands the prisoners issued last week for better access to lawyers and family members, speedier trials and an end to alleged mistreatment and torture during interrogation.
"They have totally rejected the meals and food provided by the state until their demands for better treatment are met," Sheikh Saad Huneity, a Jordanian Salafi jihadist leader who has previously spent years in detention, told Reuters.
Jordan has stepped up arrests of Islamists along its border with Syria in recent months, detaining scores of people trying to cross over to join jihadist groups fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.
"They have been arrested because they announced Jihad (holy war) against Bashar al-Assad's regime. Jordan is helping Assad's regime," Huneity said.
Jihadists arrested while seeking to cross the border have been put on trial by military courts on charges of "disturbing relations with a friendly state," lawyers and relatives say.
A key U.S. ally in the Middle East and one of very few Arab countries to have diplomatic relations with Israel, Jordan enjoys close ties with Western intelligence agencies and has often been targeted by al Qaeda and other Islamist militants.
Jordanian jihadists say hundreds of volunteers have crossed into Syria since the start of the uprising against Assad, a member of Syria's Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, joining in an increasingly sectarian war.
Human rights lawyers and activists say Jordanian authorities have reverted to heavy handed tactics towards Islamists, ending a lenient approach at the height of pro-democracy protests in 2011 when Salafists were allowed to stage peaceful protests.
International human rights activists say Jordan puts Islamists on trial in military courts that are illegal and lack proper legal safeguards. Many civic groups also say many of the Islamist cases are politically motivated.
Jordanian police sources confirmed that most of the Islamist prisoners held in the main Sawaqa, Muaqar, Zarqa and Rumaimeen prisons had begun a hunger strike, but denied any systematic violation of prisoners' rights.
"We treat everyone equally according to the same law and we look into any request by any inmate and apply what is in tune with the law," said security forces spokesman Major Amer al-Saratawi.

Manchester United will let Robin van Persie leave Old Trafford this summer – if they can land Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani, write Steve Bates and Tom Hopkinson of the Sunday People .
Van Persie, who has had to deny rumours of a rift with United boss David Moyes, cut a forlorn figure when taken off in the second half of the 3-0 win at West Brom yesterday.
His comments earlier this month that other players take his space did not go down well with team-mates.
And now Moyes is ready to cut his losses on the Dutchman, who has looked a shadow of the player who fired United to the title last season.
Van Persie cost United £24million when he moved from Arsenal and United would be looking to recoup £15m – although they may be lucky to get that for a 30-year-old.
Another stumbling block is the salary of £180,000 a week pocketed by the striker, who is only halfway through a four-year deal.
Moyes has pursued Uruguayan star Cavani all season and is confident of signing the goal machine for £58m.
Van Persie allowed his frustrations to show at the Hawthorns yesterday and could easily have been sent off for a second bookable offence.
Baggies boss Pepe Mel was furious that the Dutchman was not punished for a second-half foul on Steven Reid soon after he was booked for a challenge on Morgan Amalfitano.
Spaniard Mel fumed: "It was a clear second yellow card. With a red card to Van Persie the game would have been completely different."
What should have been a dream partnership with Wayne Rooney just has not fired this season. Against Olympiacos 10 days ago Van Persie played just ONE pass to Rooney, and that was at the kick-off.
Once RVP had departed yesterday, Rooney headed United's second, after Phil Jones had given them the lead, and his replacement Danny Welbeck scored United's third.

The illustration shows an invisible Brent Green having pizza and a soda as Brutus, Sammy's cat, is standing up and screaming in a comical way. Tim Jacobus's signature, which is very difficult to see from afar, is on the bottom part of the pizza box that is facing Brutus.
He's Outta Sight...For Real!
Sammy Jacobs is into ghosts and science fiction. Not exactly the smartest hobby--at least not if you ask Sammy's parents. They're research scientists and they only believe in real science. But now Sammy's met someone who's totally unreal. He's hanging out in Sammy's room. And eating his cereal at breakfast. Sammy's got to find a way to get rid of his new "friend." Only problem is...Sammy's new "friend" is invisible!
The writing in this section is based off of someone else's work.
Sammy Jacobs has two scientist parents and a scientist-in-training younger brother, Simon. Sammy is the black sheep of the family, because he does not care about science, he cares about science fiction. He busies himself reading books about ghosts and aliens while his brother is fast at work measuring the growth of his body every day. Sammy's friend Roxanne comes over to berate Sammy for being such a poor athlete. Sammy lost a track meet earlier in the day and Roxanne wants to make sure he does a better job at the mini-Olympics later in the week. Sammy says he merely let her win and assures Roxanne that he will run faster.
Roxanne and Sammy then get to work brainstorming about their English term project. Sammy suggests studying the life cycle of a moth or charting the growth of plants. Roxanne wants to film a haunted house over the weekend.
Their wild speculation is interrupted by a mysterious light that appears in Sammy's bedroom. The source of this light is revealed to be a special magic flashlight belonging to Sammy's father that allows invisible organisms to be made visible. This light scared Sammy and Roxanne. Roxanne resumes trying to sell Sammy on the haunted house idea. The haunted house is called the Hedge House, because there are hedges in front of the house. Instead of visiting a haunted house, Sammy would much rather spend his Saturday watching the new horror movie, School Spirit. His father overhears and confuses this with his son actually having school spirit.
After Roxanne leaves, Sammy becomes convinced that someone is messing with him, as his window is open and his homework thrown on the floor of his bedroom. He is sure that a ghost is responsible. The next morning he discovers that Brutus, his cat, opted not to sleep in his bedroom which was unusual. He sits down for a nice bowl of cereal, only to discover that while his head was turned away from the bowl, the ghost has eaten all of his cereal.
At school, Sammy is called to the front of the class to solve a math problem. The polynomial equation takes a turn though, as an invisible clammy hand grasps Sammy's and he runs from the classroom in hysterics.
Back at home, Sammy witnesses the scene depicted on the cover of the book. Sammy's mother scolds him for eating the pizza. She then tells him to clean up his bedroom. When he heads upstairs to do as instructed, he discovers that someone has strewn cereal, lunch meat and other foodstuffs all over his floor. He comes to the conclusion that only a ghost could have caused this food fight. Then the ghost speaks up and confirms this.
Except the voice is not a ghost at all, but an invisible boy named Brent Green. He is twelve too and wants very badly to be Sammy's friend. He explains that he does not know how he got to Sammy's house or who his parents are, but he is hungry and wants to be Sammy's friend. Sammy tries to get his family to come see his invisible friend, but they do not believe him. Roxanne does not even believe him, though she does tell the entire student body about it so they can mock him properly at school the next day.
Things get so bad for Sammy that he has to eat lunch alone in the library. Brent followed him to school and starts eating his sandwich. Sammy pleads with him to go away, but Brent insists that he is just trying to be his friend. Brent proves his friendship by ruining Sammy's turn in the relay race, costing his team the game.
To make up losing the race to Roxanne, Sammy is forced to agree to accompany her to the haunted house that weekend. Beforehand though, Sammy tries to convince Brent to leave. He tries to get him to live with Roxanne, because she has better food. But, Brent does not want to be friends with a girl.
Brent sees that Sammy's trying to get rid of him and attempts to throw him out the window. He stops himself, before he actually murders Sammy though and explains that he was just goofing around in a familial way. Brent finally leaves after Sammy turns up the radiator high enough to produce steam in his bedroom.
Roxanne and Sammy are at the Hedge House and a ghost does show up. Upstairs in the spooky house, the ghost angrily picks up Roxanne and starts throwing her around the room. Then the ghost picks up a pillow and tries to smother her. Roxanne and Sammy flee from the house. Back at home, Brent reveals that he was behind the whole charade.
Sammy's parents announce that his erratic behavior has caused them to set up an appointment with a mental institution for their son. Before he can be taken away though, Sammy breaks free and runs down to his parents' basement to grab the magic flashlight. He forces the rest of the family and Roxanne to follow him to his room, where he shines the light on Brent, revealing a hideous monster. Brent reveals that his mother made him invisible, so it would be easier for him to make friends.
Sammy and his family can't stop being disgusted at how he has one head, two arms that aren't long enough to wrap around his body and dark stuff growing on top of his head (this explains that Brent has dark hair) instead of tendrils and suction pods, doesn't have antennae, and has only two eyes. Brent says that he just wants to be Sammy's friend. Simon asks Brent to be his friend and he needs him for his science project and begs his dad to let him keep him. Sammy's mom says that she has seen pictures of Brent's species in a textbook and says she will go have a look. Brent shyly says that he is called a human and mom says she remembers now. Sammy takes his five eyes away from him and asks his dad if he can keep him. Sammy's dad says no and he has to live in a zoo because he will get much better care there. Then he says "After all, humans are an endangered species!"

A growing number of politicians are making moves for a realignment of political power in Nigeria towards a new political party, THISDAY has learnt. This is amid crisis in the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and conflicting interests in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
It was gathered that discussions among politicians from the two leading parties towards the floating of a new party started in earnest some months ago, and it was fast gathering momentum. Insiders said the new political move had the support of some serving governors from both the APC and PDP, key principal officers of the National Assembly, and some aggrieved political leaders across the six geo-political zones. A former senate president, Ken Nnamani, is being prevailed upon to act as the arrow-head of the emerging party, it is gathered.
Nnamani announced his resignation from PDP on February 6, saying, the party had abandoned "the path of its noble vision and values". He was elected Senate President in 2003. In his statement titled, "PDP, the Burden and My Conscience," Nnamani said he was fed up with the state of things in the party. But said he was quitting "without any iota of bitterness."
He stated, "I do not believe I should continue to be a member of the PDP as it is defined today. This is certainly not the party I joined years ago to help change my country. I do not also believe that the PDP, as it is managed today, will provide an opportunity for me to continue to play the politics of principles and values, which I set for myself as a young man on leaving graduate school and working for a large multinational in the United States in the 70s and 80s."
Nnamani did not announce an intention to join any political party, but he promised to remain politically active.
A former Senate Chief Whip, who chose not to be named, confirmed the emerging political moves. He said, "Go and talk to many political elites across the country today, you will hear and confirm huge frustration among them. Nobody seems to be happy with what is happening in the APC and the PDP. And some of us have come to a conclusion that there is urgent need to have a new and credible platform to save this country.
"You will be shocked to know that the agitation for a new political platform is more pronounced in the North, in spite of the fact that we currently have a sitting president from the North. It shows how frustrated people are in the country today."
Another enthusiast of the emerging political grouping, who is a prominent leader of APC, also told THISDAY in confidence, "The hope that things will change for the better, with President Muhammadu Buhari in power, is being dashed by the day. As I speak with you today, the soul of the APC is gone. Go to the national secretariat of the party, they will tell you."
It was learnt that some desperate efforts recently by concerned leaders of APC to iron out things among themselves were frustrated by the political hawks around Buhari, who are already strategising for 2019.
"What you are likely to have in the coming months is a congregation of old PDP members in the APC pulling out to form a formidable political party with some progressive-minded members of the present PDP," the APC leader said last night in Abuja.
The special caucus meeting held last week by APC was said to be part of the measures to halt the tide of disenchantment, which promises to seriously threaten the ruling party. Very little was achieved by the meeting following the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was unavoidably absent. But another meeting is being contemplated for this week, where aggrieved APC members would be expected to table their grievances before the party and the government.
Many APC members are said to be calling for the removal of the national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, citing poor leadership. It is suspected that the replacement for Odigie-Oyegun would come from the North as part of a grand plan to put the president in a position of comfort as far as party administration is concerned. But that is expected to meet with resistance, as party leaders from other parts of the country are likely to oppose the idea. Generally, many leaders of the party are said to be unhappy with the current status of the party and the government, having been shut out of the decision-making process, despite their commitment to the success of the party.
One of the problems believed to be delaying the manifestation of the idea of a new party, according to the promoters, is the question of the personality around which the party will be built. They want a personality that would sell, like Buhari did, for the APC.
Indications of how the politicians are readjusting towards the eventual formation of a new party are clearer in PDP. The party has lurched from one crisis to the next since it lost the general election to APC last year. The high turnover of PDP national chairmen since the election is symptomatic of the crisis within.
Adamu Muazu resigned under pressure as PDP national chairman on May 20 last year, accused of leading the former ruling party to a devastating defeat at the polls. He was replaced by Haliru Bello, who was appointed acting national chairman on May 25 last year and was sacked on February 10 this year. Bello was succeeded by the PDP deputy national chairman, Uche Secondus, who worked in acting capacity until February 16, when he handed over to the newly-appointed national chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff. Sheriff's appointment has been enmeshed in controversy.
Though, PDP says it has resolved its leadership crisis following an agreement to let Sheriff run the affairs of the party for three months, until the national convention, when a new national leadership of the party would be elected. There are fears that PDP may come out of the national convention more divided than it went in. This is due to the very huge likelihood of a clash between the PDP governors, who were the main force behind Sheriff's emergence as national chairman, and other groups and interests in the party that had opposed his choice.
In recent times, some prominent PDP members have resigned from the party without joining other parties, in what is seen as a strategic move to help nurture the expected new political platform. Besides Nnamani, Samuel Ogbemudia and Dalhatu Sarki Tafida have recently left PDP, but did not defect to other parties.
In APC, the National Assembly has been the main theatre of war. Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara won their positions last June against the wish of the party, in connivance with PDP legislators. Sources say Saraki's current trial by the Code of Conduct Bureau may prepare the ground for the consolidation of the moves towards a new party. Both Saraki and Dogara belong to a bloc within the party, the New PDP, which believed they needed to be compensated for their contributions to the victory of APC.

W.H. on AP probe: Obama 'firm believer' in press freedom
President Obama is a "strong defender" of the First Amendment and a "firm believer" that the press should not be blocked in its reporting, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday, but the Justice Department must also be able to investigate criminal activity.
"On the issue of what is a Department of Justice investigation, as I understand it, the president is a strong defender of the First Amendment," Carney said at his daily briefing, commenting on the news that the Justice Department conducted surveillance of some Associated Press communications. The president is also "firm believer in the need for the press to be unfettered in its ability to conduct investigative reporting and to facilitate a free flow of information."
But Obama also "recognizes the need for the justice department to investigate alleged criminal activity without undue influence," Carney said.
(Also on POLITICO: Inside the AP: Fear, determination)
"There is a careful balance here that must be attained," he later added.
Repeating what he said in a written statement Monday, Carney said that other than press reports, the White House has "no knowledge" of the investigation. The White House learned of the investigation when reports emerged Monday, he said.
Obama supported a shield law to protect reporters who obtain classified information while serving in the Senate and Carney said Obama's position hasn't changed.

Teaching Drake how to write html
As a full time web developer that has been paying the bills for a great many years with self taught web skills, I finally decided that my kids were ready for me to pass the baton. It is my hope that my kids will go to college and learn what ever tickles their fancy. But no flipping burgers for my monsters. Instead I fully intend to enter them into the world wide job market that is the inter-webs ASAP. They can easily afford college with simple programming skills. How better to start them off than teach them first and foremost how to learn by speaking Google. This is a very important distinction over actually teaching HTML. Learning how to look for information, absorb only what is needed for the immediate task at hand, as well as get a cursory understanding of all the peripheral information is how I work every day. Rather than teach this tag or that tag I gave him a simple understanding of how to feed in the proper english term set to Google to get the results you need. Lets do this!
As with any web developer job, I started Drake off with a low-fidelity wire frame. I asked him to create a basic web page that has a header, his picture, some paragraphs of text with the first paragraph wrapped around his photo. 3 paragraphs about himself. He asked me if it was to be in "first person" or not. I love this boy. And at the bottom I asked for a simple table with his personal information.
He immediately went to the googles and found w3schools. The best place for the low down on all html tags.
He doesn't know it yet, but this is one of the few gigs in life where you can easily make well over 6 figures in your bath robe from your home every day.
Getting this boy to sit style while smiling is not easy.
Here you can see that he got his image to render from Facebook. Now he is smiling again.

7 - Andy Palacio - Watina - Watina - Belize - Cumbancha - CMB-CD 3
This all-American show put itself together around two new discoveries.
GranBuenosAires by Federico Aubele arrived in a package of half-a-dozen CDs from the Washington DC label, ESL, only one of which was a new release. This album dates from 2003, and is one of the best to follow in the footsteps of Gotan Project, with atmospheric vocals in rhythmic beds that are danceable without being formulaic.
Flor Nocturna is the second album from Marta Topferova, the Czech singer based in the United States, where she writes songs in Spanish and plays the quatro, Venezuela's version of the ukulele popularised by Simón Diaz. Overall, the album is more sombre than her debut, but the more uplifting 'Ojos Poderosos' is outstanding.
I've been waiting for months for the appropriate moment to play a track from Cripple Crow, the album released by the American singer Devendra Banhart back in 2005. Devendra learned to play the quatro as a teenager when he lived for several years in Venezuela. In addition to a song written by Simón, he sings several of his own in Spanish, including 'Quedate Luna'. An institution in his own country, Simón Diaz has been one of the most popular singers with listeners to this programme, so I'm expecting some reaction to this triple-helping of Venezuelan sounds.
Boogaloo Pow Pow is an excellent collection of '60s Latin music from New York and The Rough Guide to Bachata introduces a popular style from the Dominican Republic, a perfect companion to Putumayo's marvellous collection of music of a few years ago, Republica.
Finally, we come back to Belize in Central America and another track from Andy Palacio's album Watina, first introduced in the programme with producer Ivan Duran last month.

Night Of The Hunter
Welcome Back To My Nightmare: Alice Cooper introduces Steve Hunter in Columbus.
It's a great time to be an Alice Cooper fan. Just last November, Alice wrapped up a 16-month world tour dubbed Theatre of Death, an over-the-top theatrical extravaganza propelled by his best band in years. In April, the original Alice Cooper Group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with a bombastic celebratory box set arriving in the summer. Next month will see the release of Welcome 2 My Nightmare, a conceptual sequel that reunites Alice with legendary producer Bob Ezrin and includes contributions from the ACG as well as veteran solo career collaborators. It would surely be permissible for the rock icon to take the summer off and relax.
But no. Not only has he been canvassing Europe and both North and South America since May, he is doing so under the banner of a new tour called No More Mr. Nice Guy. As the concert filler between Theatre of Death and the forthcoming Welcome 2 My Nightmare tour, it could easily have been a minimally produced affair in which Cooper & Co. make a few bucks off an assortment of greatest hits, and few would have complained. But Alice is firing on all cylinders right now, and his current show is no mere stopgap, as Wednesday's date at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio proved. Read More

Life's been busy these last few weeks with all the snow and shoveling to do. I did have help from a neighbor once with his tractor to clear the driveway. My horse Whisper, has been getting out a few hours on nice days for exercise. She doesn't appreciate the stall stay days. I've been going through all my VHS tapes and watching oldies but goodies.
Looking to Spring and nicer weather for walking...as for now, the exercise bike is all I have to look forward to.

Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that forms when lava solidifies so rapidly that mineral crystals do not have time to grow. Its color is usually black, but sometimes with the presence of hematite (iron oxide) it can be Indian red to brown. Obsidian has a bright, vitreous luster on smooth surfaces, and is sometimes...

Notice of Misaddressed Emails
Our Physicians
On April 24, 2018, Dignity Health discovered that an emailing list formatted by Healthgrades, a business associate, contained a sorting error. This sorting error caused an email notice intended for a select group of patients to be sent to the wrong person. The email was meant to notify recipients that they can now schedule appointments online with their physicians. Together with Healthgrades, we have determined that each email was misdirected to one other person and included first and last names, and possibly the name of the patient's physician. There was no financial, insurance, or medical information included in the email.
If you received an email on April 24, 2018 from email@example.com that contained the first and last name of another person, and possibly the name of that person's physician, we kindly ask that you permanently delete that email by deleting it from your inbox and further deleting it from your deleted emails folder.
Working with Healthgrades, we have already investigated and corrected the problem. Also, we are working together to put appropriate steps in place so that it will not happen again.
We are very sorry for any concern or inconvenience this may have caused. Please be assured that Dignity Health and Healthgrades are committed to preventing a similar incident from occurring in the future.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call 877.802.1959.

Stage shows a way of partying with fans: SRK
It's not for the money or the fame that Shah Rukh Khan does stage shows, but to get up close and party with his fans.entertainment Updated: Oct 24, 2008 20:19 IST
It's not for the money or the fame that Shah Rukh Khan does stage shows, but to get up close and party with his fans.
"These shows are not a show of talent or some amazing skill that you possess. This is our way of partying with people who have shared so much love and happiness with us," Shah Rukh Khan said in the course of a media interaction here ahead of his Temptation Reloaded stage show scheduled for Saturday night.
"I have been working for 21 years and I don't really get the opportunity to thank each of my fans personally," he said.
"I am old now," he continued, "and it is quite difficult to do live shows. Some days, I get up and I say I don't really have to do this. It is not for the money, not for the fame any more."
Shah Rukh returns to Dubai after a gap of four years for a live stage show.
Dubai is part of the Temptation Reloaded world tour that the Bollywood star is doing along with Arjun Rampal, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor.
The tour started in Rotterdam in Holland in June and continued in Singapore.
The show will be compered by MTV video jockey Anusha Dandekar and choreographed by Ganesh Hegde of "Lagaan" fame.
Britain based desi-rapper Hard Kaur will also perform before the Dubai audience.
The show is being sponsored by Country Club Group of India, which has opened a new resort in Dubai this year.
According to the organisers, the show is expected to draw around 18,000 people at the Dubai Festival City Arena.
Dubai is home to around 700,000 of the 1.5 million expatriate Indians in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Private Educational Loans
A private educational loan features the student as a borrower.

There are many reputable Private Education Loan companies. MICA has no preferred Private Loan Lender list, but provides the following lender tools as a good place to start the search.
Many students start by using the Maryland Student Loan Marketplace or the Great Lakes loan selection tool FASTChoice. These private loan comparison tools empower you to take control of the process and make an informed decision in selecting the best private loan for your individual situation. When using the Maryland Student Loan Marketplace you are able to securely submit your personal information only once, and the Marketplace will present personalized loan products and terms for you to sort and compare. The Marketplace keeps your personal information private, so only the lender that you select will contact you.
FASTChoice, powered by Great Lakes loan guarantor and processer, provides data for lenders that do not participate in the Maryland Student Loan Marketplace. FASTChoice also helps you choose the right loan by presenting you with loan details, including eligibility requirements, interest rates, loan limits, and borrower benefits. FASTChoice provides comparison tools for the following private lenders - CitiBank, Citizens, Chase, Sallie Mae, Suntrust, and Wells Fargo.
In the current economic and credit market difficulties, private educational loan companies are in a state of change. Make sure to check all lenders' websites for the most current information regarding credit criteria and interest rates.

Bold, brash and beautiful, Cape Town is one city that doesn't disappoint. From the cloud-blanketed top of Table Mountain and the craggy peaks of the 12 Apostles to the sun-soaked, sandy beaches of Camp's Bay and the rolling vineyards of Constantia to its vibrant mix of cultures and buzzing nightlife, South Africa's 'Mother City' is an electric, cosmopolitan city that has it all. Little wonder it was recently voted the No.1 Travel Destination in the World by TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards.
Join veteran guidebook author, travel writer and some-time Capetonian Kim Wildman on a travel writing journey through the sights, sounds and scents of this sensational city. Based at the beautiful Dunkley House in the city's historic old quarter, you'll spend five days learning the art of writing and selling travel stories while uncovering the heart and soul of Cape Town.
During the day you'll explore some of the city's most famous sights practising writing and researching skills learnt in workshops. Come the evenings, you'll enjoy the tastes and flavours of the city's best restaurants along with the company and conversation of leading travel writers, photographers, authors and editors.
If a week of writing, reflecting and enjoying the sights and sounds of Cape Town isn't enticement enough, MSN NZ, the international media portal for the MSN Network in New Zealand, has offered to publish the three best travel articles written during the course of the week on their popular Travel Bite website. So not only will you experience what it takes to be a travel writer, you might even get published!
Included in the retreat: four nights bed and breakfast accommodation at Dunkley House, all transportation including airport transfers, two restaurant dinners, a city centre walking tour, cable ride to Table Mountain (weather permitting), tour of Robben Island, and day trip to Cape Point taking in the beautiful seaside villages of Simon's Town, St James and Kalk Bay as well as a wine tasting at Groot Constantia and a hamper lunch (inclusive of entry fees to Boulders Beach and Cape Point).
Not included in the retreat: additional meals, alcohol and drinks, laundry, telephone, personal expenses, spending money, tips for guides, airfares, visas and travel insurance.
This retreat is suitable for beginning writers upwards. Places are strictly limited, so contact Kim Wildman on kim[at]wildwriting[dot]com[dot]au enabled to view it to make a booking now.
