I don't know if this helps you, but I recently succeded installing Max 3.5 on a Powerbook 1400c using system 7.5.3 with removable CD-Rom. I first authorized the HD from the key disk, then turned the PB off, changing the removable floppydrive to CDdrve, turned the PB on again and then installed Max from the CD-Rom. -- ___________________________________________ Jens Jacobsen Danish Institute of Electroacoustic Music Musikhuset Aarhus, Denmark Phone:+45 89 31 81 60, Fax: +45 89 31 81 66 http://www.daimi.aau.dk/~diem/ ___________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 10:13:44 -0500 From: "Christopher R. Morgan" Subject: Re: OS 8 and Max disk authorization I just want to add to David Gamper's observations about the OS8 and Max authorizations. When I was asked to "reverify" my authorization my PPC 7300 crashed and completely trashed the keyDisk to the point that it was no longer even recognized as a Mac floppy. I have sent Opcode tech support email about this twice and there has been no reply, although I should mention that an inquiry sent to their customer service was promptly answered. chris morgan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 16:05:44 -0400 From: David Gamper Subject: Re: Powerbook Conundrum Easiest might be to start the Powerbook in SCCI disk mode hooked up to someone else's Mac (preferably running OS 7.x, if the key disk doesn't work under System 8). I don't have the CD-ROM with me right now, so this might not work if the files to install are all compressed, etc. If they're not, this should work. Copy the correct Max application, max-help, max-startup, externals, and anything else you want. Switch to the floppy drive. Run the 'deauthorize' program on the floppy. Again, if that doesn't work under System 8, you have to restart from System 7.x, authorize Max, restart with System 8, insert Max floppy (important to do this before...), run Max. It's been so long since I installed from the CD-ROM, but I think the installer also takes care of installing OMS. You might want to download the latest version (2.3.2?) and install it instead. Of course you might want to download the latest version of Max 3.5.8 at some point. Hope this helps. David G. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 15:45:00 -0400 From: David Gamper Subject: Re: OS 8 and Max authorization Poking around MacInTouch I found out the additional critical step to authorize Max: have the key disk already mounted BEFORE starting Max under System 8 for the first time. This was confirmed later by Opcode. - David G ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 12:52:50 -0700 From: Jeremy Roberts Subject: Re: MAX Digest - 21 Sep 1997 to 22 Sep 1997 >> Liquid Audio is the music industry's choice for the distribution of >> digital audio over the Internet. > >I'm wary of "the music industry's choice" of anything... A Liquid Audio rep told me at AES last year, when asked, "do you really think the public will pay for highly compressed audio - don't you think they'll hear the difference?"

Larry, Download the installer from the website... that's what I did, then authorize from your floppy... there are a few apps on the market whose installer programmers never considered professionals using a $5000 laptop... such as Max, QuarkXpress, Peak, among the few that come to mind... and I'm sure there are many more... jr ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Sep 1997 05:51:00 +0900 From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCQGlMbiEhPSgwbBsoQg==?= Subject: Re: ichi obj.

DAVE gets David, A New Drama Queen, Promoted Promo Folks and more
It's a DAVE fest! DAVID GOLDSMITH (doesn't he have a nice smile?) has been named Senior Vice President and General Manager of DAVE, the Hewlett Packard-NEXT.TV initiative, a next generation Internet television service providing on demand programming to HP notebook users anywhere with a broadband Internet connection. Wow. Us Apple users might feel left out. David is a TV guy – he's produced such shows as "Shogun", "Winds of War" and that wild and crazy Max Headroom. Mr. G surfed the new media wave early, focusing on the content to screen part of it all. Cool. He's a USC grad who has a degree from Southwestern University School of Law. Good news David.
Oh the drama! It's a major part of NORA O'BRIEN's life, for sure. She's just been named Vice President of Drama Programming, Universal Media Studios, where she'll report to ELISA ROTH, who's Sr. VP Drama. Dare we call them the Universal drama queens? Nora makes the switch to her new role from the SciFi Channel. The Boston College grad has also worked at Trilogy Entertainment. Way to go!
Lots of promotions announced by CBS out in LA…all the new titles are for their on-air promo folks. So many VP's! Learn all about them by clicking here.
Just up the coast is San Ramon, CA where STEVE WHITE will be officing when it takes the title Regional Senior Vice President for Northern California, making the switch from Regional Senior Vice President of the company's Mid-South Region.

With the Super Bowl just days away, thought it best to throw in some sports news. And it comes form the VERSUS channel, where they promoted MARC FEIN to Executive Vice President of Programming, Production and Business Operations. Yeah, that means he's gonna be into it all!

It's normal that more eatery applications will coordinate with POS equipment through scanners. For example, the QR code on a page in the app. You can use them in mobile requesting and getting payments.
Programs offering discounts to loyal customers
The loyalty programs are available in plenty in the eatery business. More shoppers today are expecting such prizes programs at food eateries.

Message pop-ups
Message pop-ups are essential to any application. However, industries are frequently mishandling it. If you need your application to be fruitful, message pop-ups should be your ideal option. You need to mindful and thorough with your pop-up messages.
The principal thing is making your message pop-ups more applicable by including personalization. It implies past tending to clients by their name. However, you must be sure about the time of sending them a suitable message. It must not be amidst the night. You can distinguish what items/dishes your client is keen and convey correspondences about that item.
It honestly boils down to knowing your client and giving them what they need. It is advisable to utilize dynamic profiling with your clients. Make inquiries that will help fabricate a profile for your client and customize their experience.
For instance, you can ask clients which channel they would want to get correspondences from your image. You might inquire, and on the subjects a client has interest. Set timing for SMS to clients about your promotional offers. For instance, sent messages on Thursdays between 5 – 7 pm. It is an extremely critical action as significant buyers feel faithful to brands they need.
Promotion Prizes (Verbal Showcasing)
Shoppers are losing their trust in brands, distributions, and writers. Hence, client promotion is significantly more imperative. Verbal promoting is the best and the most astounding channel of all types of advancement. Research suggests that verbal showcasing produces more than double the offers of paid promoting.
The truth is, you can obtain more reliable customers through oral promotions. These customers are dependable for your business. Social networking has a massive effect on our lives today. Hence, verbal promoting can connect you to an enormous audience very quickly.

Client surveys are one of the primary sources of app optimization today. They are the most proficient method to upgrade your eatery application. It's essential to survey your application execution reliably. You also need to find out ways of enhancing your app for staying in the competition. Client review gateways are an advantageous approach to gather essential information about your application clients. It gives them the chance to propose changes and recognize any shortcomings in your application. Hence, reviews are vital after you create a mobile app for a restaurant.
Client Profiling and Division
We addressed this before in past features. Client profiling causes you to see more about your clients. Segmenting enables you to tailor things like prizes, push notices to encourage your clients.
Chatbots enable simple interactions with your clients. However, you will need time for setting it. The Chatbots are PC programs that initiate a parallel discussion between human clients. More eatery applications will incorporate some chatbot innovation in future.
Augmenting Reality
Augmenting Reality (AR) is an imaginative and intuitive application. However, it isn't regularly accessible in eatery application. A case of a brand that included AR in their app is Walgreen's.The innovation empowers clients to scan for a particular item in a store. There is an AR outline demonstrating them where to discover the goods, costs etc. Such innovation also helps users to know how to save while shopping at Walgreen's.
Hence, from the above features, we now know how to optimize a restaurant app. It is of utmost importance today for you to stay in contention with your rivals. If you have doubts about these, your restaurant mobile app developers can surely assist you. Remember, here is the time to take advantage of this latest innovation.

Distilled Spirits Council slams US tax change
Trade group the Distilled Spirits Council has hit out at the Trump administration's decision to limit tax refunds on US spirits, claiming it has "thwarted" the promotion of exports.
The US Treasury Department and US Customs and Border Protection delivered a final rule on the Modernised Drawback yesterday (17 December) under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (TFTEA).
The Distilled Spirits Council has argued that this move contradicts congress's earlier intent to simplify how drawback claims are processed.
The drawback scheme allows wine and spirits importers to get their taxes, duties and fees refunded by Customs if they export the same or a similar product.
However, the treasury has "thwarted the intent of congress to promote exports through this new rule by limiting the excise duty drawback".
"Congress wanted to encourage production in the United States with duty drawback, which was designed to incentivise US manufacturers to export," said Distilled Spirits Council president and CEO Chris Swonger.
"At a time when retaliatory tariffs are impacting American business, small and large, this programme could provide some relief, simplification, and add to our competitiveness.
"Treasury needs to follow congressional intent and stop impeding a programme that levels the playing field for US manufacturers in the global market."

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Is the reflection you see not quite what you used to see? Do you say to yourself, "I don't feel any older, but I see an older person." Getting older is an inevitable process, but you don't have to look older, too.
When it comes to looking younger, there are all sorts of products and procedures available so you can look your best (such as anti-wrinkle gels, cosmetics, skin treatments, facelifts and day spas). One of the procedures that is the least emphasized, but can have a profound yet subtle effect, is an improved smile from a dental makeover.
It's typical that most adults don't realize that their smile is not as bright as it used to be. Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and the normal, and sometimes heavy, wearing away of tooth enamel have cumulative effects on the teeth. As we age, our smile begins to look a little discolored.
Old dentures can become yellow or gray, which will make your smile appear older. In fact, dentures will naturally pick up stains and wear down faster than our natural teeth. If you have had the same dentures for more than six years, they require a dental makeover. New dentures should be made every six to ten years and relined every three to five years.
The fastest and easiest way an esthetically minded person can get a dental makeover is through bleaching or tooth whitening. It can be achieved either through an at-home or in-office process. Now, there are over-the-counter products that will whiten your teeth; however, for safe and predictable changes with dramatic results, there is no substitute for the dental office.
Bleaching is usually the first step to achieving a more youthful appearance to your smile. Not only can you brighten your smile through bleaching, but the physical appearance of your teeth can also be improved. Applying composite bonding, porcelain veneers or crowns to your teeth is the ultimate in dental makeover and cosmetic dentistry enhancements.
When these options were presented to one patient, she couldn't envision the immediate change the procedures would have on her smile. In front of a mirror, I showed her the gradual changes that had occurred over time due to the wearing and staining of their tooth enamel. The patient decided to have her teeth whitened and her front teeth artistically rejuvenated with porcelain veneers. When the patient went to work after the procedure was complete, her coworkers noticed a difference, but couldn't exactly identify the change in her overall appearance. They thought that she did something different to her hair or was losing weight. No one guessed that subtle improvements had been made to her teeth.
It's never too late to care more about your smile and make immediate improvements with a dental makeover. A small change today can enhance your smile for years to come.

Dental inlays and dental onlays are valuable for restoring teeth that are severely decayed or worn. Typically, they are applied to the chewing surfaces on the back teeth.
What Is the Difference Between a Dental Inlay and a Dental Onlay?
In restorative dentistry, an inlay is used more like a filling for restoring normal tooth structure. It is best if the surface is small and only involves the chewing surface and surfaces between the teeth.
An onlay is similar to an inlay but treats larger areas, covering the entire chewing surface of a tooth. Dental onlays are recommended for larger tooth restorations and when chewing surfaces require long-term protection.
What Are Dental Inlays and Dental Onlays Made of?
Since both are used in areas of heavy chewing and grinding, they must be made from durable materials. They can be made from porcelain or composite resin chosen to match the color of your teeth or they can be made of a mixture of metals called an alloy. Alloys can be a mixture of metals like gold and palladium or nickel and chromium.
What Are the Restorative Dentistry Procedures for Dental Inlays and Dental Onlays?
The tooth is first prepared by removing portions of decay or damage. The remaining tooth structure is shaped in preparation for the dental inlay or dental onlay. An impression of the tooth is made along with opposing teeth and the bite. From this, a plaster model is formed that is used for a custom fit matching the contours of the tooth.
Since both dental inlays and dental onlays are custom-made, a second appointment is needed for checking the fit and cementing the inlay or onlay permanently. At that appointment, any adjustments to the bite will be made. A final polishing adds the final touch to this restorative dentistry treatment.

Here is the deal. I have a normal facebook feed. I've posted just enough stuff so that they know, if they are curious or concerned about themselves or someone else, they can contact me or my digital publishers who I also promote, because they know more than I do. Even after twenty five years. IBPF's free downloadable book, "healthy living with bipolar disorder' takes an unflinching, unmoralizing look at many aspects of the illnesses that drug company sponsored websites just plain ignore.
But there is new stuff on the horizon. The wave of increasing numbers of obese and overweight in our nation has partly to do with all the psych meds that affect our hunger, cravings and metabolism rates and I'm researching this subject so I can write an informed blog with links called "Meeting Metabolism slowdown Head on." That will help people. There are advances in the medication of people with metabolic disorder or prediabetes conditions, the FDA just approved another drug last week. There is beginning to be a proactive movement to combat this problem. But I know some other stuff, some wholistic stuff that can help beyond 'diet and exercise' stuff that is really frustrating to many of us. So that's one issue of research that is multi pronged because apparently the meds I'm referring to cause physical changes in our pancreas. But I want to research this more before I print it. I just wanted you to know that this page is going to be an extension of living healthy with bipolar but more current science than once a year.
Also there is the exploding field of genetics and individual protein enzymes, with which the info will help decide which medication the patient will be more likely to best metabolize, with least side effects and more able to get the benefit. This has been Mayo Clinic's standard of Care since 2011, along the lines of ALL health problems, not just psych. So why don't we have it. What's been holding it up? I want to find out and bring the info to you. It just takes time and I need you to be patient.
Here is the link
It's actually easier to find by going on Facebook and typing: Bipolar Disorder: Our Cycles Unite us

The students at Buchanan Elementary School in Branson, Missouri got to learn what a Visiting Artist is all about when Tim Cherry came to their classroom. The school's visiting artist program is headed by Darla Chapman-Speelman, the students can expect to learn about the artist's style, techniques, tools, media and inspirations, directly from the artist. "... It is Mrs. Chapman-Speelman's goal to have at least one artist visit each year, with luck, maybe two!"
The students learned about Tim's methods for sculpting his renowned wildlife bronze sculptures. Then the students took a turn sculpting rabbits in clay. Tim later surprised the class with a gift for the classroom, a bronze turtle and fish titled "Stream Team". We are always proud when our artist's make their marks in the world, but we especially love when they impact and excite kids and support excellent teachers.
Tim Cherry has been a National Sculptors' Guild Fellow since 1996 and is a longtime resident of Branson. Years of experience as a professional guide in the remote wilderness of northern Canada has informed Tim's sculpture, inspiring him to create authentic and artistic interpretations of the wildlife that has so profoundly affected his life. learn more about Tim and view his artwork.

What goes into the price of your wedding stationery? Some people may ask why does it "cost so much" for wedding invitations, it's just a piece of paper. Friends, it is SO much more than paper. I'm a little biased being that I'm a stationery designer, but this same question could be asked of florals, photography, food, etc. There is so much more that goes beyond just a pile of paper at the end of the day. I want to walk you through the custom invitation process to show you what is involved for both myself and my clients.
The Full Design Process
So when I have someone inquire about custom invitations, we chat about all the possible details they want to go into their wedding pieces. The print methods, the paper, the accessories, and so much more. We get to know each other and truly start to envision their big day and how these pieces are going to reflect who they are. I then walk them step-by-step through the design process to create the invitation of their dreams, put together design concepts, digital proofing boards for them to really see it come to life, and so much more. I've had many couples say that they did not expect the invitation process to be so much fun. And that is truly the best compliment for me.
The Client Experience
Saying I love my clients is a bit of an understatement. You have to realize that I work with my couples for sometimes 6-12 months. That's a pretty long time. Over that time we get to know each other (and sometimes even the families!) and a friendship is formed. I am so proud and honored to say that I still stay in touch with some of my amazing couples from years and years ago. One of my business foundations is formed around the client experience. I truly believe that how you make your clients feel during this process is a reflection of you and your business. I love to spoil and surprise my clients, I really think it's my love language to serve and make people feel loved. You can read a full blog post on my client experience, here.
The Communication
So remember how I said that sometimes I work with my couples for 6-12 months? Well there are lots of emails and phone calls that come along with it. When you hire me to create your pieces, you are also get personalized assistance to walk you through any and every question you may have, and in a timely manner. Whether that be how to word something, addressing etiquette, best paper choices, or color combinations.
The Actual Product
Ok so now let's talk about the actual product you receive! On top of all the bonus items I've listed above, you're obviously receiving the actual product you've contracted me for. I take pride in all of my work and products, as they're a true reflection of me and my business. I use the highest quality papers, envelopes, print methods, and accessories. Each pieces is hand assembled, quality checked and assured, and beautifully packaged to be delivered directly to you.
The Education
With all of the amazing things listed above, you are also receiving special insight into the 10+ years of education I have in the design and wedding industry. I help you realize your vision and navigate through what will work well together and what won't. Have questions about postage? I've got your back. Need to know how to address them for your guests? I've got that too. You can view my full Etiquette Series, here.
So, friends. I've said it once, and I'll say it again. It is SO much more than paper! You are paying for the full experience that helps make your wedding day complete and I am so honored to work with each and every one of my couples.

Gordon: GMA did not act on fertilizer scam
Sen. Richard Gordon shows the Blue Ribbon report on the fertilizer fund scam. MANNY MARCELO
MANILA, Philippines – The Senate Blue Ribbon committee found no direct evidence linking President Arroyo to the P728-million fertilizer scam in 2004 but inferred that she "acquiesced" to the acts of former agriculture undersecretary Jocelyn "Jocjoc" Bolante and other government officials implicated in the scandal by her inaction.
Blue Ribbon committee chairman Richard Gordon told reporters yesterday that the corollary rule to the control powers of the President was called the "doctrine of qualified political agency."
In a 130-page report, the committee concluded: "Since there was no reprobation or disapproval coming from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo regarding their actions, it can easily be inferred that President Arroyo acquiesced to such acts."
"Does anyone really believe that Bolante, et al would have been able to malverse such a gargantuan amount and continue to evade all sorts of liability without acquiescence of Malacañang?" said Gordon.
The Blue Ribbon committee wrapped up the fertilizer fund scam probe at the Senate with the 130-page report citing only 10 personalities, including Bolante, who face charges ranging from plunder to money laundering.
In his report, Gordon also noted that Mrs. Arroyo's knowledge of the fertilizer scam was alluded to by former Department of Budget Management (DBM) secretary Emilia Boncodin in her testimony during the 13th Congress.
The Gordon report quoted a portion of the first committee report made by then Sen. Ramon Magsaysay Jr., which said: "When asked if the fertilizer fund request made by Usec. Bolante for the DA was upon the instruction of the President, Sec. Boncodin replied with: 'I would imagine so.'"
Gordon said the doctrine of qualified political agency provides that all executive and administrative organizations are adjuncts of the executive department.
"The President is the chief administration office of the government. While the Constitution is not explicit about this position, by reason of her being the chief executive and the head of government, she exercises and wields all administrative powers inherent in her position," said a portion of the executive summary of the committee report.
"Thus, while the Committee found no evidence directly linking the President to the fertilizer scam, the acts of the former undersecretary of the DA, Mr. Jocelyn Bolante, and his cohorts, now Usec. Belinda Gonzales and now GSIS Vice President Ibarra Poliquit, are deemed acts of the President since they acted within the scope of their authorities given by then Sec. Luis Lorenzo," the committee report said.
Plunder, other charges
In the 12-page executive summary of the committee report, the Blue Ribbon panel had recommended the filing of plunder charges against Bolante.
Aside from Bolante, those recommended to be charged for plunder are former DA assistant secretary Poliquit, Leonicia Llarena, Feshan Philippines president Julie Gregorio, Feshan Philippines vice president Redentor Antolin, Marilyn Araos, Marites Aytona, Jaime Paule and DA Usec. Gonzales.
Gordon's committee made the recommendation after it conducted hearings from Nov. 13 last year until Jan. 26.
Gordon cited evidence which showed that the personalities personally took part in the execution of the "act acquiring ill-gotten wealth through a combination or series of overt or criminal acts in the total value of at least P50 million."
Apart from plunder, the committee also recommended that Bolante be slapped with technical malversation, money laundering, false testimony/perjury; Poliquit, technical malversation; Llarena, malversation and false testimony/perjury in solemn affirmation; Gregorio with tax evasion, money laundering, and disobedience to summons by the National Assembly; Antolin, money laundering; Araos, money laundering; Aytona, money laundering, tax evasion, false testimony/perjury and disobedience to summons; Paule, money laundering, false testimony/perjury; Gonzales, technical malversation; and Joselito Flordeliza, money laundering.
'Pack of wolves'
In a press conference, Gordon likened Bolante and his companions to a "pack of wolves operating in the government."
He did not discount the speculations that the funds were used "to help those who will run under the administration party including myself" in the 2004 elections.
While Gordon readily admitted to have been part of the administration coalition in 2004, the senator said he did not benefit from the fertilizer fund scam.
According to him, the Senate is also recommending amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering Law by extending the period of freeze order from an additional six months to two years.
The freeze order on the assets of Bolante was lifted last December at the height of the Senate's reopening of the inquiry.
There is also a proposed revision to the AMLA Rules and the Bank Secrecy Act to exempt public officers charged before the courts for violations of sections 3(b) and (c) under the Corrupt Practices of Public Officers.
The amendment of the procurement act would focus on the inclusion of private institutions, non-government organizations, people's organizations and private entities that receive government monies in the coverage of the Procurement Act.
Amendments were also recommended to the Rules of Procedure governing inquiries in aid of legislation on direct contempt and the suggested standard provision to be added to the General Appropriations Act every year.
Gordon also scored the Office of the Ombudsman for dragging its feet on the issue.
The Blue Ribbon chair called for the amendment of the Constitution to make the Ombudsman an elective rather than an appointive position.
He noted that Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez is known to be close to First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo, as both were reportedly schoolmates at the Ateneo de Manila University.
"We need an Ombudsman beholden to the people," Gordon said.
The Gordon report is the second committee report dished out by the Senate Blue Ribbon committee which had recommended the filing of charges against former agriculture secretary Lorenzo, Bolante, Poliquit, Gonzales, Asec. Felix Montes, and all regional directors of the DA who participated illegally in all the transactions related to the scam.
This was in the 13th Congress when the Blue Ribbon was still headed by Sen. Magsaysay.
The Magsaysay report also cited for contempt Lorenzo and Poliquit as well as Bolante, who then fled to the United States, which was "deemed to be a deliberate attempt to escape the jurisdiction of the Senate."
"His flight was a clear indication of guilt," Gordon said.
It was only when Bolante came back to the country last November that the Senate reopened the fertilizer scam inquiry.
Then Senate President Manuel Villar Jr. directed the Senate Sgt-At-Arms to enforce the arrest order against Bolante upon his return/deportation from the US where he lost his appeal for political asylum.
Syndicated corruption
Meanwhile, Sen. Mar Roxas said the Senate Blue Ribbon committee report on the P728- million fertilizer fund scam illustrates the system of syndicated corruption within the government that flourished under President Arroyo.
"We have proven again and again corruption in government, and the fertilizer scam showed how officials manipulate the system to rob the coffers of the government," Roxas said.
Roxas said Gutierrez should resign for failing to prosecute Bolante for allegedly masterminding the diversion scheme.
He stressed that overwhelming evidence – both direct and circumstantial, and documentary and testimonial – have been gathered by the committee against Bolante, giving no space for Gutierrez to claim that her office needs additional proof to pin down the former DA official.

Executive privilege: SSS after ZTE-NBN
There was public outrage when Mr. Romulo Neri, of the ZTE-NBN notoriety, was named by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to head the Social Security System (SSS). The appointment was seen as Neri's reward for his silence on the ZTE-NBN deal and blind loyalty to Ms Arroyo. It was feared that Neri would also play deaf and dumb should the Arroyo administration decide to raid the pension funds, for political purposes.
It has been reported that P12.5 billion (yes, billion!) of SSS funds is being eyed "for infrastructure," as part of the "stimulus package" (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 2/3/09; read story) which would be placed at the disposal of Ms Arroyo.
Given Malacañang's track record in misspending tax money with shameless abandon and buying loyalties with generous "cash gifts" and other perks, we shudder at the thought that all this SSS money could end up being used (read: diverted) to ensure Ms Arroyo's continued stay in Malacañang beyond 2010 — as earnestly, if shamelessly, prayed for by her trusted drumbeater Jesus Dureza.
And the worst part is, she may not have to account for all that profligacy in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling on "executive privilege," which virtually strikes down any attempt to hold her and her underlings accountable for any act of malversation and corruption. God help the Philippines!
