Today Egyptian President dropped the wet cat that was in his lap and announced his request to the People's Assembly (Magles El Shaab) to amend the constitution allowing for other parties to nominate candidates for the presidency elections.
On the surface all is well and this move is seen as commendable and brave by a democratic leader sacrificing powers for the sake of "This stage in our nation's history" as Mubarak put it in his speech. Mubarak will be hailed in tomorrow's papers as the leader that freed the "slaves", built the pyramids, single handedly defeated Israel in the 1973 war, the man of the people, a man that listens to his people, the leader of the whole Arab nation that leads by example, You know the routine..
But still I cannot digest this move for the following reasons:
Lets go less than one week back:
1) Mubarak refuted any plans for constitutional reform before the next elections.
2) A couple of days ago, the ruling party (National Democratic party) after meeting with the opposition parties leaders came out and announced that a) They accept the constitutional amendment after the next elections and b) They "ALL" are unified in their refusing demands for reform coming from outside Egypt
Now is Mubarak fluctuating in his decisions ? Not at all! It has been planned very well, first get them to lose hope, then give the hope back and appear as the "Giver"
Now Mubarak is simply under too much external pressure (the wet cat in his lap) from the United Bush of America to get his act together and fast, and there was no avoiding it. After all if Mubarak is really giving in to the demands of "his people" then he must have just replaced the batteries in his hearing aid. The public have been screaming for reform, and the opposition only grew recent ballz when they felt the external pressure.
So I am not digesting any of it because it looks like another scene in the same redicioulous play that we have all watched 4 times before, Mubarak gets to win this election too, and whoever succeeds George Bush, will be left to deal with it.
Here is your litmus test: IF there is no talk about inserting in the constitution a text limiting the number of times a president can renew, THEN this is your sign that all cannot be well and its just another scene forced by "Today's Nation's necessities". If I were you I would keep my fingers crossed and my hopes down!
Also I have a nagging feeling that the Egyptian's People's Assembly should immediately resign, those puppets are only rubber stamps for whoever is in power, they failed miserably in representing the people that voted for them. If they were unable to induce this constitutional change without being instructed to do it, then they represent no one, and should pack and go, simple and clear.
Another nagging feeling is the (much discussed in this blog) feeling of insult with Mubarak's clear message that this is not done due to internal pressure (see points 1 & 2 above) and with Condy and Bushy demanding reform in Egypt and Saudi Arabia every time a microphone is put in their hands, it is obvious where the pressure on Mubarak is coming from, if you do not do good for your people's sake then you cannot do good, also clear and simple!
Anyway, congratulations to whoever caused this, and to Mubarak in case I am wrong about his intentions and motives.

March 6, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - It was a good start to Senior Weekend for the Yale men's basketball team. Ross Morin became the 22nd player in school history to score 1,000 career points, and Travis Pinick added a career-high 21 points as the Bulldogs rolled to a 74-62 victory over Dartmouth before a crowd of 1,689 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
Morin's milestone basket came with 3:33 left in the second half on a short jumper in the lane. It gave Yale a 66-52 lead.
"It was good to get it out of the way tonight so we can focus on Harvard tomorrow," said Morin, who finished with 19 points. "When I scored my 1,000th point in high school, I didn't think it would happen in college. I've just tried to be consistent for the last four years."
Eric Flato '08 was the last Yale player to reach the milestone. He did it last season.
"Ross has been a rock for this team," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "I always feel comfortable when the ball is in his hands. He's done a great job over the last four years."
Yale (13-14, 8-5 Ivy) seized control early. With the score tied at 4-4, the Bulldogs ran off eight straight points and were never seriously threatened the rest of the way. The lead grew to 16, 25-9, on Porter Braswell's three-pointer with 6:48 remaining, and Yale was ahead 32-18 at the intermission.
It was defense that sparked the surge. The Big Green (9-18, 7-6 Ivy) shot just 33.3 percent from the field in the first half, and the Bulldogs forced Dartmouth into 18 first-half turnovers.
"We watched the tape of the first game [a 57-54 Dartmouth win] and we saw that they reversed the ball pretty easily," Jones said. "Tonight we didn't give them an opportunity to run their offense."
In addition to his offensive output, Pinick, with the help of his teammates, did a good job containing Alex Barnett, who had only five points at halftime and finished with 12, nearly eight below his league-leading average. Barnett made only 4 of 19 shots from the field and was 1 for 6 from three-point range.
"He [Pinick] has really done a good job on him," Jones said. "Last year it was the same situation. Travis has the length and athleticism to match up with him. We really wanted to make him work hard to get the basketball."
Alex Zampier finished with 10 points and six rebounds for the Bulldogs, who have won four of their last five games. Garrett Fiddler added seven points, six rebounds and three blocks. Chris Andrews scored five points and Jordan Gibson had five points and three steals.
Jabari Trotter paced the Big Green with 13 points. Barnett, Marlon Sanders and Dan Biber each had 12.
Yale shot 56.8 percent from the field in the game and made 22 of 27 free throws. Morin was 10 for 10 from the line.
Despite the win, the Bulldogs were eliminated from the Ivy League title race. Cornell clinched its second straight crown with an 83-58 victory over Penn. Nevertheless, Yale, which was picked to finish third in the preseason media poll, can assure itself of a second-place finish with a win over Harvard on Saturday. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.
"We've got one game left, and we want to go out on a high note," said Pinick, who will be honored with fellow seniors Morin, Andrews, Brandon Rose and Ari Greenberg prior to the game.

Vegetarian Lasagna Recipe with Quick-Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Herb Sauce
|This vegetarian lasagna is admittedly not that photogenic, but it's delicious!
Now that tomato season has left the northern hemisphere and not yet arrived in the southern hemisphere, this Vegetarian Lasagna with Quick-Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Herb Sauce seems especially appealing. I was remembering the goodness of slow roasted tomatoes when I made this sauce in early summer using cherry tomatoes from Costco, quickly roasted with olive oil and herbs, but if you're lucky enough to still have some tomatoes in your garden, you could also make this with diced Roma tomatoes. Tomatoes are a common ingredient, but using fresh tomatoes in lasagna sauce was a new idea to me, so hopefully this lasagna with roasted tomatoes and herbs is informative enough to fit the new rules for Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this week by Amy and Jonny from We Are Never Full. Here's more about how to enter WHB if you're cooking with interesting plant ingredients. We're also counting down to a week-long celebration for the Three Year Anniversary of Weekend Herb Blogging coming October 27 – November 2, so stay tuned.
Vegetarian Lasagna with Quick-Roasted Tomato and Herb Sauce
(Makes 8-10 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
5 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half (or used diced Roma tomatoes)
2 T olive oil
1 T dried basil
1 T dried Turkish, Greek, or Italian oregano
1 T ground fennel seed
1 cup plain tomato sauce (canned sauce is fine)
1/4 cup water
1 T finely minced garlic or garlic puree
1/2 tsp. salt
(2-3 T chopped fresh basil and oregano would be great added to the sauce)
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
2 eggs
3-4 cups grated low-fat mozzarella cheese (I used a 16 oz. package, which was not quite 4 cups)
10-12 dried lasgna noodles
olive oil or non-stick spray for spraying lasagna dish
Remove tomatoes from oven and lower temperature to 375F. Scrape tomatoes with all accumulated juice and pieces of herbs into bowl, then add plain tomato sauce, minced garlic, salt, water, and chopped fresh herbs if available. In small bowl, beat eggs, then mix in cottage cheese.
Spray 9.5 by 13.5 inch glass casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Make a layer of uncooked lasagne noodles covering bottom of dish. (You may need to break the noodles to make them fit.) Spread half the roasted tomato sauce over noodles, then half the cottage cheese mixture and half the mozzarella. Top with another layer of noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, and cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until noodles feel soft when pierced with a fork. Remove foil and bake 20-30 minutes longer, until cheese is nicely browned and mixture is bubbling. Serve hot, with a perfect green salad.

11-4 Record at Ivy League Championship
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—With a fourth-place finish in epee competition at the Feb. 8-9 Ivy League Championship, sophomore Katherine Miller of the Yale women's fencing team earned second team All-Ivy honors.
Miller posted an impressive set of bouts during the two-day round robin tournament, finishing with an 11-4 record and a 0.733 percentage. She was Yale's standout performer at a competition in which the Bulldogs faced tough competition and finished in seventh place.
Selections for the All-Ivy teams are based on winning percentages, and Miller joins just two others—Emma Vaggo and Isabel DiTella from Harvard—in being awarded second team All-Ivy honors.
For Miller, this weekend's result is a substantial improvement on her performance at last year's Ivy League Championship, where she finished in 10th place. She then went on to finish in eighth place in epee competition at the NCAA Northeast Regional.
Miller will be back in action when the Bulldogs return to competition at the Feb. 23 USAG Collegiate Nationals, hosted this year by Penn in Philadelphia.

The comprehensive multi-year plan (cMYP) is a single plan which consolidates several immunisation activities. It is a key planning and management tool for national immunisation programmes. It addresses global, national, and subnational immunisation objectives and strategies, and evaluates the costs and financing of the programme in line with the WHO-UNICEF Global Immunization Vision and Strategy 2006-2015. Gavi requires countries to submit a cMYP along with the standard proposal form when applying for Gavi support (ISS, INS, and NVS). In 2006, over 50 countries had developed cMYPs using the WHO-UNICEF cMYP guidelines and costing tool. The cMYP replaces the financial sustainability plan (FSP), used to assess the funding challenges of a country's national immunisation programme within the broader health financing context and to describe the government's approach to mobilising and effectively using resources to support medium- and long-term immunisation objectives.

The country-specific co-financing sheets provide up-to-date information on countries' eligibility status, co-financing fulfilment and requirements. They also give a summary of government health expenditure, including immunisation financing.
Specifically, the sheets provide a history of the Gavi-supported vaccines introduced per country, the country's co-financing payments to date and its co-financing requirements for the current year. In case the country has defaulted on its co-financing requirements, there is an overview of the co-financing arrears of the previous year. Finally, the sheets provide co-financing projections for the next five years based on our latest forecasts.
The information sheets are updated at least twice per year to account for new information on countries' co-financing fulfilment (in the first quarter) and eligibility status (in the third quarter).

The joint appraisal is an in-country, multi-stakeholder review of the implementation progress and performance of Gavi's vaccine and cash grant support to the country, and of its contribution to improved immunisation outcomes. The outcome of the appraisal is the completed "joint appraisal report" that captures Gavi grant performance as well as implementation challenges. The joint appraisal report informs discussions with national coordination mechanisms on areas where greater national investments and efforts, as well as technical support, are needed.

|A creamy pasta salad, made with shell pasta, bell pepper, red onion, black olives, cheddar cheese, tomato and bacon and tossed with a mayo, sour cream, vinegar dressing, seasoned with onion powder, garlic salt.
Creamy Pasta SaladI love pasta salad. Any kind. It is another one of those dishes that I have no loyalty to though, so I love switching it up, different veggies, different dressing bases. This one is a mayonnaise based pasta salad and my interpretation of the one served at a local favorite BBQ joint.
Check out my takes on Cold Baked Potato Salad and my Fall Off the Bone Oven Baked Spareribs with Sweet & Spicy Homemade Sauce.

Some of you fathers overcame difficult times in your lives � abuse, mental illness, misguided doctrines, conviction of before the law, imprisonment and divorce.
To the editor:
Some of you fathers overcame difficult times in your lives � abuse, mental illness, misguided doctrines, conviction of before the law, imprisonment and divorce.
Some had no father, and in some cases no mother in the home and there are some out there that had to experience both parents not around.
There are some fathers who had to step up to the plate in already made relationships and love the children as if they were their own. A few had to go back to school to get a GED, high school or college diploma to achieve and accomplish by their own effort.
Many have had to deploy and fight in wars that don�t concern our nation. Some have fallen or been injured in the line of duty for our country: police officers, firemen, public safety officers, pastors, judges, lawyers, EMS and military.
I know it�s hard, but this is what you were called to do � and thank you for it.
Most of all you fathers stood up, took responsibility, succeeded and successfully attained a blessed position in this world and became a man. By doing so, you showed other father that had fallen by the wayside that we all can improve ourselves by cultivating what is inside of us � the will to change. Taking what�s valuable to all men � learning to love our wives, children, family, friends and neighbors as we love ourselves � can help us overcome our trials and unexpected situations. Whether we are free or in bondage, hold your heads up as it is not over until the victory is won. Learn to believe and accept so you can make a difference in life.
Put all trust in God, through Jesus our Lord and savior and greet one another in the spirit.
Ephesians 5:21-33; 6:1-4 says, beginning at verse 25: �Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it; 26: That he might cleanse it with the washing of water by the word; 27: That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Verse 28 then goes on to explain: �So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself�.�
In Chapter 6 verse 4 is written: �And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.�
Happy Father�s Day!

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders reached agreement Thursday to finalize California's budget.
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders reached agreement Thursday to finalize California's budget.
The plan protects education, permanently reforms welfare and includes tough ongoing cuts, Brown said in a statement announcing the framework of the agreement.
"This agreement strongly positions the state to withstand the economic challenges and uncertainties ahead," Brown said in the statement. "We have restructured and downsized our prison system, moved government closer to the people, made billions in difficult cuts and now the Legislature is poised to make even more difficult cuts and permanently reform welfare."
A vote of the Legislature will take place next week.
Although Democrats passed the main budget bill on a majority vote last week, the governor pressed for deeper cuts to welfare and other social services amid a projected $15.7 billion shortfall. Brown has until Wednesday to sign or veto the main bill.
"We have a good deal with the governor," said Assembly Budget Committee Chairman Bob Blumenfield, D--Woodland Hills. "We were 99 percent there with the governor before. He took our bills, he still was pushing to go a little bit further, and we were willing to work with him and try to work out some of the details, and we've done it."
Other Democrats in the Assembly declined to comment, referring questions to Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, who also declined to comment.
Democrats have majorities in both the Assembly and Senate, and can pass the budget without needing any Republican votes. Republicans have been shut out of the budget negotiations and did not immediately comment on the pending agreement.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the agreement makes changes to four social programs to minimize the impact on the poor.
Democrats agreed to phase in federal work requirements after two years, but convinced the governor to drop his proposal to cut cash grants to the poor, a move that Democrats in the Legislature had feared would push families into homelessness. The two sides agreed to reduce funding for child care and suspend cost of living increases starting in 2013.
They also agreed to shift some 880,000 children from the Healthy Families program to Medi-Cal, a move they say will save on administrative funds. Steinberg said legislative negotiators also prevented deeper cuts to in-home support for now, but will negotiate more savings in the future.
The Legislature passed a $92 billion budget Friday but several companion bills must still pass before the state's spending plan can take effect. Many deal with some of the most contentious issues, including aid to the poor. The whole package hinges on voters approving an initiative in November to raise taxes.
"We are on the back end of this thing," Steinberg said. "If we pass those taxes in November we will be in a new chapter."
Democratic leaders also reached agreement with the governor on welfare programs, college aid and other social service cuts.
Brown, a Democrat, wanted to emphasize getting people back to work, while reducing aid for parents who aren't meeting requirements under CalWORKS, the state's welfare-to-work program. But Democrats say it's foolish to pay for job training when there aren't enough jobs to go around. They would rather preserve cash grants.
In passing the main budget bill, lawmakers met the minimum requirement to keep their paychecks flowing under a voter-approved measure that blocks lawmakers' pay if a budget is late.
California's new fiscal year begins July 1. Without a budget in place, the state will not be able make certain payments to school districts and vendors, or pay the salaries of elected officials and staff.
Both Brown and Democratic lawmakers are depending on the tax initiative to balance the state deficit. If the ballot measure fails, automatic cuts will be triggered, drastically reducing funding to public schools.
The initiative to raise the state sales and income taxes for some California residents qualified Wednesday along with a rival initiative that would raise income taxes on nearly all Californians.
Brown's proposal would backfill the state's general fund and guarantee funding to local governments for public safety. It would raise income taxes on a sliding scale on incomes over $250,000 a year for seven years and raise the state sales tax by a quarter cent for four years.
The rival proposal, backed by Los Angeles attorney Molly Munger, would raise income taxes on nearly all Californians on a sliding scale for 12 years, with the biggest increase on the wealthiest Californians.
Revenue from her proposal would go directly to public schools, while Brown's measure would use the money to prevent deeper cuts to schools and guarantee money for local public safety.

Bella Care Hospice/Cleveland/Ashtabula/ Akron/Hudson
Bella Care Hospice provides compassionate care to patients - and their families - during and after the final stage of their life. Volunteers serve an important purpose by giving their time.
Bella Care has home patients in the area that could benefit from a volunteer.
Volunteers are needed who are able to spend a minimum of 1 hour per week with our patients.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age, have their own transportation (and insurance, if appropriate), pass a background investigation and a tuberculosis test (both provided by Bella Care Hospice), and successfully complete volunteer orientation and training (also provided by Bella Care Hospice).
The ideal volunteer candidate does not need experience; instead, they need patience, compassion, and concern for their companion.
Volunteers must: be respectful of patients, staff, and other volunteers they interact with; complete their scheduled visits or reschedule them promptly; document their visits appropriately; follow Bella Care's policies and legal requirements.
Bella Care Hospice is required by Federal law to have a volunteer program for our patients. Volunteers serve as companions - and often friends - for our patients, many of whom may only be visited by our volunteers.
Volunteers provide an impartial person for the patient to socialize with. Hospice volunteers usually experience a great deal of satisfaction from their service and usually develop strong emotional bonds with the patients they visit. Some earn community service credit for volunteering while others gain valuable experience and contacts in the health care industry.
We'll work with your schedule.

Past Shows
Label: Dead Oceans
from Chicago Ilinois
There are many kind of stitches: seams to secure sleeves into armholes... sutures closing wounds and deep incisions... loops or crosses of embroidery floss... a sudden pain in the side. Stitches, the new album from Califone, touches on all these definitions, its episodes of discomfort and healing rendered with exquisite beauty and craftsmanship.
Intimate timbres—garage sale drum machines, slack guitar strings, hushed vocals—offset the album's cinematic inclinations. The listener moves through a landscape of Old Testament blood and guts, spaghetti Western deserts and Southwestern horizons, zeroing in on emotions and images that cannot be glanced over. Motes of dust dance briefly in afternoon sunlight.
"This is the only record I've made in my life where none of the work was done in Chicago," says Califone's Tim Rutili. The writing and recording began in Southern California, then continued in Arizona and Texas. "Those dry landscapes and beaches and hills and shopping malls all made it into the music," he acknowledges. Uniquely homespun elements are interwoven into the songs, too, including sounds Rutili recorded in his backyard during rainfall and while driving in his car.
Brass, pedal steel, and strings color in the edges and outlines songs like "Frosted Tips," "We Are A Payphone," "Moonbath.brainsalt.a.holy.fool" and "Moses," yet Stitches is no Ennio Morricone-meets-Cecil B. DeMille pastiche. Gritty electronics, the mesmerizing thrumming of tablas, and eerie keyboards also pepper these ten new selections. A cartographer could spend lifetimes mapping the terrain of Stitches.
Archetypes and mythological figures rub shoulders with bruised civilians throughout this odyssey. Though Rutili is not a religious man, episodes from the Bible in particular kept entering his psyche as he wrote. "I'm fascinated with why some stories and characters resonate and last for thousands of years, and are so easily transposed onto all our lives and rites of passage, no matter how absurd or surreal they are."
Rutili has not been idle in the years since the release of Califone's critically acclaimed 2009 album All of My Friends Are Funeral Singers. He wrote scripts and painted and collaborated on the music for several films, including the score for the 2012 documentary Beauty Is Embarrassing and the Starz TV series BOSS. He lost a few band members and stopped all Califone activity for about a year. "Then one day I woke up and started writing songs again."
At first he churned out a lot of songs that didn't make the cut. He kept moving. The larger themes that would eventually reach fruition on Stitches began to emerge. "During this process, I started to really look at myself and find a clearer, more honest voice," he reveals. "I forced myself to write as much as possible. I allowed myself to be crabby and vulnerable as much as I could stand it... and slowly the songs got better."
Eventually Rutili commenced recording with Griffin Rodriguez in Los Angeles, Michael Krassner in Phoenix, and Craig Ross in Austin, along with a raft of guest musicians. "We treated each song as its own particular planet. Bringing in different people and recording in different places helped bring some tension to the whole thing. I wanted this to be a more schizophrenic record, stitching together conflicting textures and feels." Rutili's old Red Red Meat colleague Tim Hurley stayed with him for a few months and they recorded together for the first time since Califone's eponymous 1998 debut EP.
In some regards, Stitches harks back to those earliest days of Califone. There was more home recording, and musicians came and went as the songs dictated. "It was a much more solitary process, and that freed me up to feel less self-conscious about singing and writing more personal lyrics." Yet the ultimate outcome sounds like the work of an artist reborn. "I tried to keep the songs visual and poetic, but it was more important to allow myself to feel and be vulnerable and not hide in the music," Rutili says. "Instead of writing from my balls and brain, this time I wrote from the nerves, skin, and heart."
Stitches—the word and the album—can mean different things to many people. Your own interpretations are welcomed and encouraged.

|TidBITS#138 19920817
by Mark H. Anbinder, Contributing Editor
[continued from TidBITS-137/10-Aug-92]
OCE -- One of the most-discussed technologies in the works is Apple's Open Collaboration Environment, or OCE. Apple intends this engine, which has also been known as AppleMail, to provide developers with a core set of routines for Mac-to-Mac and user-to-user communications. Rather than competing with existing LAN-based mail vendors, as has been suggested, Apple is enabling these vendors to concentrate on the differentiating aspects of their products (such as features and frills) and leave the transport mechanism to Apple. This parallels Apple's introduction of the Communications Toolbox (CTB), which allowed developers to skip the drudgery of developing communications software and concentrate on expanding the envelope.
OCE offers a suite of services that include personal mailbox management, message and file transport, directory services, addressing, and digital signatures. As a result, electronic mail packages such as QuickMail, and even application software such as Microsoft Excel or Aladdin's StuffIt Deluxe, can take advantage of centralized services that allow users to exchange files and messages.
OCE includes a variety of interface extensions as well. Each user has a mailbox, and can set up desktop icons that point to other users' mailboxes. Because OCE integrates a wide variety of transport mechanisms, a user need have only one mailbox regardless of the number of communications services he or she uses. For example, an average Mac communications addict might have Internet, AppleLink, CompuServe, and QuickMail messages all available within a single mailbox.
For that same email junkie, OCE provides centralized directory services that permit user searches across a variety of mail systems and addressing schemes. Once a user has been found, his or her addressing information can be stored locally as a "business card" that could contain useful info such as telephone number, fax number, and spouse's favorite color.
Security is of increasing concern, and while there is still little agreement industry-wide on the best approach, Apple provides a digital signature mechanism within OCE. Essentially, users who want to ensure that no tampering occurs can digitally "sign" a message or file. When the recipient opens the message with the password used by the sender, the software can confirm that the message has not been modified. This is different from encryption, which prevents access, in that it only indicates that nothing has been changed along the way by someone without the proper password.
AppleScript -- Put simply, AppleScript is Apple's "programming language for the rest of us." Any action that a user can perform can also be scripted, whether it's a menu selection, a program launch, or a simple mouse click. What's more, AppleScript offers a "watch-me" feature, much like that in MicroPhone II, that creates a script for the user by noting his or her actions. Combined with Apple events, Apple's inter-application communication technology, AppleScript should allow users unprecedented control over automating their computers.
Many applications offer scripting in one form or another, including HyperCard, existing versions of StuffIt Deluxe, and Dantz's premiere backup utility, Retrospect. What's new here is that Apple has provided a centralized mechanism that should allow users to script many of their tasks with a single language, as well as permit collaboration among programs for complex tasks.
Third Parties -- Several companies were on hand, putting Apple's forthcoming System Software technologies to good use, and here are some of the ones that stood out.
Aladdin seemed to have things well in hand for the System Software Revolution Showcase. Their flagship product, StuffIt Deluxe, will offer OCE messaging and file exchange, as well as a full implementation of AppleScript. While StuffIt has offered scripting for a long time, this upcoming version will permit far more interaction with other applications. Aladdin's demonstrations showed that an AppleScript-aware StuffIt will interact fluidly with the Finder, among other programs. StuffIt Deluxe 3.0, which shipped just before the show, is fully compatible with AppleScript's recording mode, so you could turn on recording and then have AppleScript create a script for you based on your actions in StuffIt. Very impressive! The OCE implementation is as seamless as you could hope, with a pop-up addressing pane at the top of each StuffIt archive's window. It's out of the way if you're not going to use it (and presumably not there at all if you don't use OCE) but it's ready to go if you want to send the archive to someone else.
CE Software showed not only an OCE-aware version of QuickMail, an obvious use of the technology, but also an AppleScript-capable QuicKeys. This popular macro program, which has allowed users to string together events for a long time, will now be even more versatile when it comes to manipulating events and working with other applications.
StarNine Technologies' Directory Services product, which has already been shipping to provide centralized directory services for users of more than one email product, will be enhanced to include OCE directory support. For now, it's impressive enough that StarNine has managed to create a directory server that shows both QuickMail and Microsoft Mail users.

You know, I like having Spore talk, but at what cost? You've pretty much said the same thing about Spore for the past 6 podcasts. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you take the time to inform us, but you've just reworded the same news. I'd rather have the "No news is no news" approach to this situation.I don't mean to be offensive, just getting my opinion out there.

Police: Google Exec Murdered by Heroin-Dosing Prostitute Aboard Yacht
A pleasure cruise went wrong for Google executive Forrest Timothy Hayes, after police say his expensive prostitute pal killed him with a heroin overdose aboard his 50-foot yacht.
Hayes (right), who worked executive gigs at Apple and Sun before landing at Google, can be seen in dockside surveillance footage, reeling from the heavy dope injection by his paid companion, Alix Catherine Tichleman (left). In the footage, she's polite enough to finish her wine before exiting the yacht, but not kind enough to help as she watches him slowly die. Tichleman, age 26, is being held on $1.5 million bail on "suspicion of second-degree murder, destruction of evidence and transporting and providing narcotics," the Santa Cruz Sentinel reports.
Police say Hayes met Tichleman on a sugar daddy dating site, and charged in the thousands in exchange for sex. "It is incredible to see the number of people Forrest touched," remarked one friend on Hayes' memorial website.

NAACP Draws Complaints for Covering George Washington Statue on Martin Luther King Day
The NAACP's South Carolina office chose to cover a statue of George Washington during its annual rally honoring Martin Luther King Jr., drawing complaints from conservatives that the group was offending the legacy of the nation's Founding Father.
The state chapter of the civil rights group claims it meant no disrespect and only covered up the statue to provide a more suitable backdrop for speakers at Monday's event. Pictures taken at the event show the statue was completely covered on three sides by a wooden, box-like structure.
But those pictures prompted an outcry on conservative blogs. Tea Party activist Lloyd Marcus was among those who quickly wrote a retort to the NAACP's decision.
"I thought, you know, this is just totally absurd, totally ridiculous," Marcus told FoxNews.com. "I don't know if George Washington had slaves or whatever but ... George Washington was our first president."
Marcus, who is black, is a Florida-based activist who works with the Tea Party Express. He said the NAACP should stop putting its energy into apparently symbolic statements like this and start doing more to address problems like high-school dropout rates in the black community.
"These are things the NAACP should be dealing with rather than running around covering up statues of dead white guys," Marcus said.
The King rally was held near the State House in Columbia, S.C. South Carolina NAACP director Dwight James told The State newspaper that his group was not trying to offend Washington's legacy. He said the NAACP wanted to use the structure around the statue as a backdrop for speakers and a graphic, which incidentally was not finished in time to be displayed.
The newspaper reported that most rallies in the capital use the statue of America's first president as part of the natural backdrop -- though the NAACP has tried to cover it up in the past. Marcus said he didn't buy the state chapter's explanation.
But Joanne Jones, vice chairwoman of the Charleston Tea Party board, said she assumes the NAACP was not intentionally disrespecting a founding father. She said the decision was just "surprising," considering how image-conscious the group is. "I would have thought they would have thought it through," she said. "They must not have had any alternative."
Karen Martin, founder of the Spartanburg Tea Party in South Carolina, said many local Tea Party groups just aren't paying attention to the flap in Columbia.
"We really don't care about what the NAACP did," she said. "They lost their credibility to be any sort of reasonable voice for Americans."
The South Carolina NAACP did not return a request for comment.
The Columbia statue incident wasn't the only controversy involving the NAACP on the Martin Luther King holiday. In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage drew criticism from the group after urging its members to "kiss my butt" over the fallout from his decision to skip the group's MLK Day festivities. In the end, the GOP governor on Monday attended a breakfast in King's honor, though it was not sponsored by the NAACP.

Well, I declare: New Year's resolutions from the stars
Larry Tropea, director of the water authority
"To pray for more ice and snow and promote the wet look in Charlottesville. I also resolve to help organize a regional water summit where all water users can come together in peace and harmony– in their bathing suits."
Patricia Kluge, entrepreneur and winemaker
"I resolve to get a life and take time off from work."
Alex Searls, filmmaker and former Council candidate
"I've just finished my first feature-length screenplay. So for next year, I'm going to finish a stage play I've been writing called Blind Observance. It contrasts Thanksgiving in America to bombing Afghanistan with food."
Maurice Jones, City spokesguy
"To get outside more to take advantage of the environment we have here– activities like biking, hiking, and just appreciating our beautiful world... and I resolve to win the lottery!"
Larry Sabato, pundit
"To overcome, at long last, my continuing battle with shyness."
Meredith Richards, City Councilor and former Congressional candidate
"To keep the boys (and the occasional girl) in Richmond from shirking their responsibility to fund the state's share of public education. My personal resolution is to stay in closer touch with friends and family. I realize neither of these has much hope of being kept, alas, but at this time of year, we're all entitled to a little fantasy."
Charles Wright, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
"I resolve, the first time I see Mo Jones, to ask him to go back to sports reporting. We miss him. Then, I resolve to give no further journalistic comments after this one."
Rob Schilling, lone Republican on City Council
"In 2003, I resolve to abstain from gratuitous displays of publicity in the pages of the Daily Progress."
Virginia Daugherty, former mayor
"I resolve to read Ulysses."

My good buddy at work has decided to leave. Didn't think I would be that much affected by having someone quit his job like I am now. I feel insecure with him leaving, and I feel so selfish by wanting him to stay. I feel he's leaving me behind, or rather I'm leaving myself behind.
I spent 3 hours talking to him today, trying to understand, just trying to figure out why he doesn't see the potential I see, and what he's looking for. He sees his own potential, but doesn't see ours. I kept trying to understand, and then I gave up. Don't try to frame him in my world-view, I said to myself, which is limited by my own capabilities. Imagine having his capabilities, and fly with the possibilities.
I guess I have an infatuation with people who can work with their hands, hardware people. That's partly why we became buddies; after I realized his capabilities and self-motivation. Admired him since, and am admiring him more with his decision to leave. Wouldn't let himself sink, on unplanned dreams or unorganized potentials. Wouldn't float with the unkown, letting himself sink, but direct his destiny.
I feel part of the growth potential of our team has now died. I told him honestly my motivation. I want him to stay, I want him to find himself here, I don't want the team to lose him and lose a big factor of its potential success --which will affect me personally! But I also want him to capitalize on his potential to the max. I just wished it was with this team. I had big hopes for him. I still do, but now in a different place.
I just can't argue with someone who's so driven and motivated, and who wants to save himself from falling, by starting his own business. As hard as it is to me, I tried to be encouraging, because I know this is the right thing to do --if done right. Cautioned him not to put his potential in something with no potential, and to weigh it right, to set the right vision, and to dream on.
Good luck man. Will truly miss you!

I read the subject article in the Jan. 28 issue with interest. Attached is a photograph I took of one row of C-46s at K-2 Air Base in Korea while stationed there as part of the 1973 AACS Squadron in 1956. I was not a pilot then, but I rode in several of them around Korea. Never had a scare — the C-119, now that was another story.

Expert Interviews
Claire Borkert, M.D.: I am much more likely to think about a woman's care in the context of her significant others -- the people in her life she is caring for. The single most significant fact that separates women living with HIV from men living with HIV is that more than 60% of the women are caring for at least one child under the age of 16. They may also be caring for a partner, grandchildren and/or extended family members. One of my patients explained it best. She said, "I know from an intellectual standpoint that I am important, but when I had kids, I knew from an emotional standpoint that they would always come first -- no matter what." So you can't separate the care of the woman from the care, safety and security of her family.
Victoria Cargill, M.D.: This depends upon whether or not the woman is a new patient with no prior HIV care or has been in care before. I will handle these as two separate scenarios:
- If the woman is new to HIV care or newly diagnosed, we will try to learn the context of her diagnosis -- in other words, was she diagnosed while in treatment, during prenatal care or in an STD clinic?
- If she is substance using, I'll probe the issues around the role of a partner in her use, such as the provision of drugs, commercial sex work, sexual safety or domestic violence.
We will also ask: Does she have any children? Are they infected? If yes, are they on treatment? What's her role in treatment? Are her children living with her, or has she lost custody?
I'll take a sexual history, including gynecological history: past STDs, current practices, number of current partners. Did she use any barrier or safe-sex method? Does she have any history of syphilis in her lifetime? When was her last menstrual period? Does she have pregnancy concerns? Does she have a history of HPV [human papilloma virus, the virus that causes genital warts], treated or untreated? Abnormal Pap? Has she ever had a colposcopy [examination of vaginal and cervical tissue lining]?
We'll also find out if the patient has support systems in place. Does she have a network of support? A network of risk-partners, shooting/smoking/snorting buddies? These kinds of things may influence risky behavior or adherence [how regularly the woman takes her medication].
- If the woman has been in HIV care before, but is new to my office, we'll generally ask most of the same questions, with a few differences. For instance, we'll try to learn her reasons for changing her care -- it may provide us with insight into her particular issues. We'll ask her what medications has she been on, and how have they affected her -- including a discussion of any impact they may have had upon menstrual function.
- We'll survey the biggest challenges for her to be in care. Is it difficult for her to remain in care? If she's on medications, is it difficult for her to take them? We'll listen for support issues, child care issues, lack-of-support issues and stigma concerns.
Mardge Cohen, M.D.: Women with HIV are different from men with HIV physically, psychosocially and emotionally, as well as in their role as caregivers for their families and communities. An initial visit establishes the unique aspects of these categories for each woman, so the evaluation needs to include gynecologic and obstetric history including contraception use and reproductive concerns, medical history including hepatitis C, hypertension, diabetes, social history including work issues, sexual activities, drug, alcohol and smoking behaviors, HIV disclosure concerns, history of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and a full physical exam including gynecologic exam.
The doctor and patient have to reach an understanding of how to treat the stage of HIV infection that is present, and review the indications, risks and benefits of treatment. There is much more to HIV infection care than antiretrovirals, and these should also be attended to by the doctor. Age-appropriate and clinically appropriate preventive screening assessments should be in place so the full spectrum of care can be provided. Attention to medical problems related to domestic violence, drug use, depression and hepatitis C seem particularly important in our experience.
In terms of domestic violence, 67% of women with HIV in the "Women's Interagency HIV Study," American Journal of Public Health (2000; 90:560-565), had a history of domestic violence, with 25% reporting recent abuse and 31% reporting a history of childhood sexual abuse. Our study lent credibility to the idea of a continuum of risk with early childhood abuse leading to later domestic violence, which may increase the risk of behaviors leading to HIV infection. Also, an Institute of Medicine [a national private organization] report called "Bridging the Quality Chasm" (March 2001) states that HIV, substance abuse and domestic violence are so closely associated with each other that they should be treated as almost one problem in terms of organization of healthcare delivery systems. This was included as an example of new paradigms of care needed to address healthcare needs of patients.
Ruth Greenblatt, M.D.: I do a comprehensive medical and social history on all new patients -- all my patients presently are women. Since many HIV patients in San Francisco are middle-class men, while the women tend to be poor and socially complex, I do tend to carefully assess ability to adhere to medication regimens and needed support. Our clinical program for women, which receives Ryan White Care funding, offers special resources for women clients, including a full-time social worker and treatment advocate. These services are not available to male clients who attend the same facility.
I also have a conversation with female patients regarding reproductive choices. Plans for pregnancy can influence treatment decision-making, such as when to begin and which antiretroviral medications to select. In addition, current pregnancy can affect CD4 cell count and other clinical parameters. Since the female patients at University of California-San Francisco are more likely than the average man to be homeless or to use recreational drugs, I obtain information on housing and drug use.

The voting is over. The finger-pointing has begun.
After covering every presidential election since 1980, I find such exercises rarely useful, if sometimes cathartic.
Rather than casting blame, let's do something productive. Here are six take-aways I gleaned from the 2012 election results:
1. There truly is a demographic tidal wave sweeping over the nation, and Republicans ignore it at their own peril.
The percentage of the electorate made up of non-Hispanic Caucasians ("white voters") has dropped from 91 percent to 72 percent since the Seventies. Election strategies must keep up with the times.
As we all know, the Latino population is the fast-growing bloc in the United States, and Hispanics favored President Obama by more than 40 percentage points over Republican Mitt Romney. The Latino vote tipped the balance of power in Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, and played gave the Democratic incumbent a cushion in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Iowa. If Republicans don't make inroads — and fast — Arizona, Tennessee and then Texas will become competitive at the presidential level.
Other demographic warning signs for the GOP:
– Asian Americans favored Obama by 3-to-1. As recently as 2000, they were a Republican-leaning swing voter bloc.
– The percentage of the electorate that identified as white evangelical Protestant (a strong GOP bloc) is declining. In Virginia, their smaller share of the electorate accounted for Romney's margin of defeat. Romney won 78 percent of the white fundamentalist vote and still couldn't claim a majority in Virginia or Florida (and just barely in North Carolina).
– The urban/rural split. Obama carried urban America by about the same percentage that Romney won in rural areas. Urban areas are growing. Rural areas are shrinking. Bad for Republicans.
– The generation gap. Younger voters are the most Democratic age group. The oldest voters are the most Republican. Today's young voters will be picking presidents for decades after today's seniors have died. Republicans must manage to persuade more under-30 voters to abandon the Democratic Party.
– The gender gap. Obama's support among women was almost the same from 2008 to 2012, while male voters shifted toward the GOP by double digits. Republicans must figure out ways to improve their appeal to mothers, working women and highly educated women. They can't stand pat as the party of old white men.
2. The polls were right.
This is a big deal.
First, there is no liberal polling conspiracy, despite what you may have heard on talk radio. (It's a ridiculous notion, anyway, because Fox News' own polling was in line with the supposedly biased polls.)
The most important point is that almost every major pollster pinpointed the presidential results within the margin of error — despite the difficulty of getting a representative sample of American voters in this era of mobile communications and reduced landline usage.
What's more, almost every polling organization effectively created a "likely voter" screen, which predicted the voting outcome (vs. the feelings of non-voters, most of whom would have voted for Obama).
3. There is a myth of the undecided voter.
You saw way too many stories on television about undecided voters. During every debate, we had televised focused groups of undecided voters.
Well, that whole thing is a myth.
There is no such thing as an "undecided voter."
People call themselves "undecided" as a snapshot in time along their journey toward a candidate. After the Democratic convention, for example, undecided voters tended to be people who were disappointed in President Obama but unconvinced by Mitt Romney. After the first debate, many of them became Romney supporters — and undecided voters were former Obama supporters who were spooked by the first debate performance. Many of them ended up as Obama voters.
What we really should be analyzing are "persuadable voters." This is the 10 to 15 percent of the electorate that is not locked in to supporting one party or the other. But let's drop this "undecided" charade.
4. Independent voters are no longer the key "swing" group.
Let's face it: Most of the time, most people who call themselves Independents end up voting Republican. (2008 was an exception that proves the rule.)
Mitt Romney won a narrow majority among Independents. He also lost a number of swing states where he carried the Independent vote.
At this point in our political history, we need to develop a "shopping cart" of swing blocs. We should look at moderates, which tend to lean Democratic (56 percent for Obama in 2012).
For a Democrat to win the presidency in this decade, they'll probably need to win 55 percent of moderates.
For a Republican to win the presidency in the foreseeable future, they'll probably need to win 55 percent of Independents.
Let's stop pretending that a simple majority of Independents means anything.
5. Suburbs can't be analyzed as a single unit.
Mitt Romney carried America's suburbs, 51 percent to 47 percent.
So what?
It doesn't tell us anything about who will win key swing states.
The reason: Suburban voters act very differently based on the region of the nation.
In the Mid-Atlantic and West Coast states, suburban voters leaned heavily Democratic. They helped bury Romney in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and Virginia (Washington, D.C.). Other suburban Democratic bastions: San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York.
In the South, suburbanites tend to be heavily Republican. Think Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, Charlotte and South Carolina.
In western swing states, they tend to be swing voters. Look at Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Bottom line: Any analysis of suburban voters must take into account the region you're studying.
6. We have to rethink the way we contemplate the role of money in politics.
Campaign spending in 2012 is expected to top $6 billion. For what? A status-quo election.
The biggest success story of the year may have been Karl Rove's ability to separate conservative billionaires from many millions of their dollars.
All the money that washed through the U.S. political system — including hundreds of millions of dollars in secret, undisclosed donations — had very little effect on the final results.
A more effective way of influencing the election would have been the old-fashioned method: paying voters cash for their votes.
You have to give a special thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, which opened the floodgates with its 2010 Citizens United decision that equated unlimited political money with free speech. SCOTUS has become the second-most important federal institution — next to the Federal Reserve — in aiding our nation's economic recovery. After all, the justices helped bail out the economies of Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, California and many, many other recession-ravaged states.
Oyez, oyez. (Or is it oy vey, oy vey?)

Setting up a home recycling system can be messy. Here are some simple solutions to have an organized and convenient home recycling system.
Pre-plan your home recycling system
Before bringing in any bins or containers, assess how much you consume and how often your recycling is picked up or needs to be dropped off at a public center.
Call your local trash company to ask about their recycling policy, what materials they accept, and if the items need to be pre-sorted. Many people think about recycling and think they need an area to organize and sort items by type: glass, plastic and paper. But many communities today allow all recyclables to be placed in one container, no sorting required.
Determine where your recycling system is best suited
Determine where you have enough space to make an effective home recycling center. Kitchens are the most common area, since most recyclables originate there.
Kitchen Recycling Center
Rethink how you use the storage in your kitchen…Space under the sink, or inside a cabinet to the side of the sink, is most convenient for being able to reach recycling containers. Move items that are used less often to other parts of the kitchen. Corner cabinets make great recycling areas, since they can sometimes be awkward for storing standard kitchen items.
Pullout containers with multiple bins can be installed. They come in 2, 3, or 4-bin options depending on how recycling needs to be sorted and how often it is picked up.
At a minimum you will need 2 bins, one for recycling and one for regular trash. For smaller kitchens, a garbage can with multiple bins built in may be the solution.
Since paper recycling can take up a lot of room, try sorting most paper items away from the kitchen—in an office or family room, for example, where you may already do your reading and sorting of mail.
Recycling holding area outside of the kitchen
If your kitchen is too small or just not right for your recycling area, try creating a holding center in your garage, laundry room or mud room.
Now that you've determined where your recycling should go, you can put storage bins in place.
If your recycling company allows one container for all recycling, you can use a large container (no sorting necessary) or use a few smaller containers.
Recycling tips
Once you establish your recycling center, the process is simple. Here are some tips to help keep it as easy and effective as possible:
- Recycling areas do not need to be large or use expensive recycling containers. They just need to be functional.
- Use plastic bags or totes to store materials for recycling. Paper bags can be leaky and rip easily. Try to use smaller containers, as they will be easier to lift when full.
- Label recycling bins to ensure materials are separated correctly.
- Choose products with the highest percentage of "post-consumer" recycled content.
- Clean bottles and tins before putting in the recycling bin. This prevents insects and unpleasant odors, both at home and at the recycling station.
Once your system is set up, recycling is easy!

Danyella Orjuela- 5th Grade
Pelican Elementary
Esteban Orjuela- 6th Grade
Mariner Middle
Danyella and Esteban are admirable children. They are generous with their time and are always willing to help no matter how big or small the cause may be. For the past 5 years Danyella and Esteban have dedicated their time effortlessly to serving the community during the Thanksgiving Holiday. It began with an invitation from a dear friend to attend the "Feed 5K" at a church in Estero. This was an all day ordeal that ended with the delivery of meals to a multitude of families throughout Cape Coral and the North Fort Myers areas. They participated in a special event where they helped to feed over five thousand families in need of a meal on Thanksgiving Day. Their first year was a little challenging, but as they continued to volunteer throughout the years they began to develop leadership skills. They initiated the tasks without needing to be told where to go. They packed over 400 containers of gravy and 200 containers of cranberry sauce. They served in the conveyor belt filling up trays with meals and even took the challenge of being servers. After a long day of food and tray preparation, the next step was to take all those trays of meals to families throughout Cape Coral and Fort Myers. This was the journey of enlightenment for both of them. This is where they learned that being "in need" did not equate with being "homeless". It made them appreciate what they had and helped them understand the meaning of having a home for your kids and still struggle with feeding them especially during the holiday.
Guy Sapen Jr.-8th Grade
Caloosa Middle
Guy has been a role model and has taken one of the life skill students, Zach under his wing for the school year. Both Guy and Zach were on a cross country team and are now both in track together. Guy has gone out of his way to help Zach learn the aspect of both these sports. Not only does Guy help him with these activities but Guy got to know Zach as a friend and treats him like he is no different. When guy sees Zach in the hallways he is always high fiving him and asking him how his day is going. Guy has gone out of his way to make Zach smile. Recently Zach won ribbons at a Special Olympics running event and Zach was dying to share it with Guy. With that the teacher pulled Guy out of class for about 5 minutes just so that Zach could share it with him. That moment when Zach got done letting Guy read what he had accomplished will be something the teacher will remember for for the rest of her life. Guy was so ecstatic for Zach and gave him the biggest hug and high five. Zach lit up; he knows that Guy is his friend and that he cares about him. Zach started off this year super shy and not really talking to a lot of people. Guy is one of the few people that Zach confides in and is always talking to or asking about. Guy is an amazing kid! He knows that he is making the biggest difference in Zach's life and he makes sure to go out of his way to make Zach feel special anytime possible. Thanks to Guy, his teacher will always have a story to share with her fellow teachers about how one person can change someone's life. Guy is an outstanding student who has been through a lot and has turned himself around and is acting selfless daily.
Jason Jans-7th Grade
Challenger Middle
Jason is an honest person. He found a large sum of money on the ground as he was entering the Gym at Challenger Middle.

Brianna Blevins- 6th Grade
Challenger Middle
When Brianna's kitten, Minx got his head stuck in the floor lamp Brianna was the only person home at the time. Luckily she heard him cry and rushed to his aid. She held him up so he wouldn't be dangling by his head and checked to make sure he could breathe okay. She needed to get to the phone to call her step mom, Sara. She placed the floor lamp on its side so Minx could stand and then she raced to the phone. When Sara arrived they both put butter around his neck to make him slippery and pulled his head through, but the kitten wasn't budging. Next Sara sent Brianna to the neighbor's to get a saw to break the lamp. When Brianna came back she held Minx still so they wouldn't cut him, but they only got half way through because it was getting too close to Brianna's hand to keep going. Finally they called 9-1-1 and had to get a fireman to pull her freighted kitten free.
