Best of
the Twin Cities
Traci Allen has built her burgeoning career on several years of solid work at the Children's Theatre Company — enough work, in fact, that she is now a company member at the venerable institution. Her performance in the CTC's production of Cinderella positioned her squarely at the top of this troupe's talent pool. In this raucous fairy tale adaptation, an English panto-style production with plenty of audience interaction, crazy slapstick, snippets of pop songs, and — of course — men dressed as women, Allen took center stage. She certainly had some fun with the rest of the company, but her performance also grounded the story in a way that is rarely seen in such whimsical romps. We felt Cinderella's sorrow over her lost mother, her desire to be free from the yoke of her stepmother, and the pure wonderment and joy of finally being the belle of the ball. She also gave the character plenty of toughness: You got the sense that this Cinderella was not going to end up a pushover for her handsome prince, and that balance and strong, clear characterization makes Allen a performer worth watching in the future.

In Bubble Buster, you have to clear the grid of bubbles by matching up at least three bubbles of the same color. You are awarded points based on how fast you complete the level and how many bubbles you clear from the grid. There are 100 levels to clear and 2 different modes of play so this game will keep you busy for hours. The two modes of play are Turn based and Time Based. The turn based mode will move the bubbles after every subsequent shot while the time mode will move the bubbles only after a set amount of time has passed. One important aspect of Bubble Buster as opposed to many of the other Bubble games out there is that you are given a trajectory path of each shot. This will help you to line up nice bounce shots to clear off the bubbles in the back rows of the grid.

This week, I'd like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the makers of Soy Vay marinades for helping me get dinner on the table ON TIME!!!!
Today, when I lingered on the world wide web for a little bit longer than I should have, and glanced at the top right of my digital screen, and "Oh my g-d the kids are coming home in 45 minutes and what the heck am I making for dinner?"
My mind raced as I called my local fish store, (thank goodness I live in Brooklyn where even a carton of milk is a phone call away) I nicely begged the kosher fish store to rush over a 2 lb. wild salmon fillet over to my home. Whisking open my fridge, I found some ginger, a beautiful bag of mini peppers, and a bunch of asparagus. I flung open my pantry, and I couldn't help but notice the brand new shiny bottle of Spicy Soy Vay Wasabi Marinade that really seemed to be winking right at me. (ok- maybe I was on the computer for a little bit TOO long…)
With less than an hour to go, I twisted open my Soy Vay Marinade and finger taste tested it quickly. In an instant I could tell that the recipes that we whip up with Soy Vay need not be too complicated or time consuming because Soy Vay has worked on all the chopping, mixing, and spicing for us.
While waiting for my fish to arrive, I soaked and peeled my asparagus, and squirted my beautiful mini peppers with vegetable spray. I quickly washed, dried, seeded and sliced them into little rounds, and then I diagonally sliced my peeled asparagus into the bowl with the peppers. By then, the doorbell had rung and within minutes the salmon was washed, dried, and on waiting on a sprayed parchment.
I rubbed it with some crushed garlic that I had stored in the freezer and sprinkled it with salt and pepper. I then brushed about 1/4 cup of Soy Vay Wasabi marinade atop the whole fillet.
I then slid my slightly spiced salmon into the oven on a sheet of sprayed parchment paper on 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
My sliced veggies were poured into a plastic food storage bag, with about 3 big slices of ginger for flavor,and in went about a half cup of the Soy Vay marinade. Flattening, I pressed out the air bubbles and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. I wouldn't leave it longer than that, because the veggies start to "cook" with the marinade, and will start to lose their color before cooking with the fish.
I then slid my semi-cooked salmon out of the oven and squeezed out the marinated veggies, layering atop the fish.
Back in to the oven went my veggie covered salmon, and 20 minutes later, the kids drifted in exclaiming, "What smells so great,ma?"
Caesar salad and pizza on the table, the kids pulled up their seats, and very soon after, our salmon was ready. Using two life saving huge fish spatulas, I slid my Soy Vay Wasabi Salmon with Veggies onto a serving platter. "Fancy Shmancy, said one of the kids, as they began to dig in. "WAIT!!!" I said pretty loudly, "I need to take a picture!"
And the rest is history….
P.S.I did notice that the wasabi marinade has an extra unexpected hot kick that goes down a notch with cooking, so I would recommend sprinkling a teaspoon or so over the final presentation to add in that extra burst of flavor.
Click here to purchase Soy Vay online.
P.P.S.The folks at Soy Vay sent me a couple of gratis bottles of their marinades to taste test for my Jewish Hostesses….
Soy Vay Wasabi Teriyaki Salmon
- 2 lb wild salmon filet without skin washed and dried.
- 6 mini peppers red and orange
- 1 bunch asparagus soaked in vegetable wash washed and peeled
- salt, pepper
- a little more than 3/4 cup Soy Vay Wasabi Marinade
- Wash and dry salmon.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper and spoon and rub 2 tbsp of soy Vay wasabi marinade all over top and sides of fish. For even better results, leave salmon marinating in fridge all morning.
- About 40 minutes before serving, slide Soy Vay marinated salmon into a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 min.
- While this is happening, wash and dry mini peppers and seed with a small knife. Slice into small rounds. Peel and soak asparagus. Peel off tough outer shell and slice on the diagonal. In a food storage bag marinate veggies with 1/2 cup Soy Vay Wasabi marinade. U can add 3 big slices of ginger (or chopped if you have the time) to this mixture.(If you dont chop ginger finely, make sure to remove the big slices before serving)
- Slide the half baked salmon out of the oven and pour veggies on top.
- Slide back into the oven for about 25 minutes. Using a fork, test for doneness.
- Using 2 large spatulas, transfer to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle several teaspoons of fresh Soy Vay Wasabi marinade over the final presentation to add in that extra burst of flavor.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Golden syrup chocolate cupcakes
These cupcakes have an amazing consistency all-over: the cupcake is moist and rich, and the icing is delicious, smooth and creamy. I used the swiss-meringue buttercream for the icing, and it was a hit! :-)
Cream-cheese strawberry cupcakes
Nothing compliments the strawberries like the cream-cheese icing, and you can enjoy this taste even off-season with strawberry jam! :-) You can skip limit the calories in this recipe by using lighter strawberry jam, or pulverized strawberries, and using half of the sugar in the cupcake part if you want the cupcakes less sweet.
Baked cake doughnuts
Traditional-made doughnuts are made with yeast dough, and deep-fried to make a fluffy, delicious spongy cake. It requires a lot of work to cook them, though, but for quick snacks (Sunday breakfast maybe?) the easier way are the baked cake doughnuts—which are spongy, fluffy and delicious too! You can enjoy them bare (like cakes), or glazed (like traditional yeast doughnuts), or stuffed if you overfill the form by any chance! :-)
German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.

After his death she took over the management of the business for several years. She had a fervent love for the Mennonite brotherhood and in various ways served the Groningen congregation; among other things, as a member of the church board, and as an active participant in the erection of a rest-home there. For many years she was an executive member of the Commissie voor Gemeentedagen. Her spiritual lifework was the Broederschapshuis at Elspeet, of which she was chosen an administrative member in 1923, and for which she performed the extensive work of the treasurership 1924-1948. In 1952 she was living at Haarlem.

Almost immediately after achieving territorial status, a clamor arose for statehood. On December 28, 1846, Iowa became the 29th state in the Union when President James K. Polk signed Iowa's admission bill into law. Once admitted to the Union, the state's boundary issues resolved, and most of its land purchased from the Indians, Iowa set its direction to development and organized campaigns for settlers and investors, boasting the young frontier state's rich farmlands, fine citizens, free and open society, and good government. Source: Wikipedia
Added information:
Iowa was first opened to settlement in the spring of 1833, the year following the close of the Black Hawk War and the ending of that portion of the Indian land, bordering on the Mississippi River, thirty miles in width extending from the Des Moines River south to the Turkey River north of Dubuque. At that period there were but two settlements in the "Black Hawk Purchase," one in the present limits of Dubuque County, the other in Lee County, neither of which had an organized existence. In the spring of 1834, the Iowa district (with Wisconsin) was attached to the Territory of Michigan for judicial purposes, and at the first session of the Legislature of Michigan Territory two counties were organized in the Iowa district west of the Mississippi river, Dubuque and Des Moines counties. A very few settlers came during that year, but the number increased during the succeeding years, 1835 -36, when the population reached some ten thousands.

Facebook may reveal new Android smartphone
MENLO PARK -- Tech industry insiders expect Facebook to unveil a new Android smartphone on Thursday that will showcase the social network on the device's home screen, and make it even easier to use Facebook's popular services on the go.
But some experts aren't convinced there's a huge demand for a so-called Facebook phone, when many consumers prefer to choose from a variety of competing apps and services.
"What happens if you buy a Facebook phone and decide you don't want to be a Facebook person?" asked Will Stofega, a veteran mobile technology analyst with the IDC research firm.
"Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to apps," he added, noting that younger users especially are known for experimenting with new or trendy services for messaging, photo-sharing and other activities.
Facebook hasn't said exactly what it plans to announce at Thursday's event, although an official invitation offered to let reporters "see our new home on Android." But in recent days, several industry blogs and news outlets, citing unnamed sources, have said the company will show off a new phone, built by the Taiwanese hardware-maker HTC, that uses special software to feature Facebook's programs on a version of Google's Android operating system.
The phone is expected to display Facebook content, such as updates and posts from friends, on the home screen that appears when the device is turned on, according to these reports. It may also be designed to automatically use Facebook programs, including its messaging app and photo-sharing software, as the default services for the phone.
By making it easier for people to use Facebook's services, the company is clearly hoping to deliver more mobile advertising to those users. "The deeper that Facebook can get its users engaged, ultimately the more ad revenue they can get," said Clark Fredricksen, a vice president at the research firm eMarketer.
The company has already made what Fredricksen called "astonishing" progress in building a mobile ad business over the past year, after it was criticized last spring for making virtually no money off the growing number of users who access the social network on smartphones and tablets.
Facebook reported more than $300 million in mobile ad sales last quarter. Its share of the U.S. mobile advertising market grew from zero to nearly 10 percent in 2012, according to eMarketer, which estimates Facebook will garner 13 percent of the $7.3 billion spent on mobile ads in the United States this year.
That makes Facebook an increasing threat to its Internet rival, Google, which still dominates the market because it shows more mobile ads when people use Google's search engine and other services on both Android and Apple phones.
Facebook users are clearly mobile: More than half its 1 billion active members check the social network regularly on their smartphones or tablets. And at the end of last year, researchers at comScore estimated Facebook outpaced Google Maps as the most frequently used smartphone app in the United States.
But experts say the business of selling smartphones may be difficult to crack. HTC had little success with earlier phones that came with a Facebook "button" pre-installed, Stofega said. And wireless carriers may be reluctant to promote a new HTC phone in their retail outlets, since HTC has become a much less popular brand than Apple and Samsung.
Still, analysts say a Facebook- HTC phone could serve as a showcase for Facebook's services, in the way that Google has partnered with different phone-makers to build a series of Nexus-brand phones that showed off the latest features of Android and other Google services.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously insisted he doesn't want Facebook to build its own phone, since he wants the social network to be available on a variety of phones and operating systems. Facebook has also worked with Apple to make its services easier to use on new iPhones. And some news outlets have reported Facebook will also announce a new app Thursday that owners of other Android phones can download to create an interface similar to the new HTC phone.
That strategy might give people more flexibility to use Facebook when they want, analysts said.
"The idea of developing a version of Android that is deeply integrated with Facebook is a good idea, in theory, for Facebook," Fredricksen added. "But it's unclear whether or not consumers will feel it's a good idea for them."

FOOD- THE DISH- Night life: Orzo keeps Market up after hours
For Main Street Market fans, Orzo's debut on November 25 offers something they've never had before– a restaurant to keep the purple food emporium open at night.
"Right now," says Orzo co-owner Ken Wooten, "we're the only place open at night in the Market, but we hope our presence there might change that."
Indeed, last Saturday, Wooten says, they had 112 seatings ("We were humming like a real restaurant," he laughs), a crowd that just might encourage other shops in the building, especially Café Milano, to stay open a little later.
In the meantime, Wooten and partner Charles Roumeliotes are reeling from the reality of having a restaurant up and running.
"It's something that Charles and I always dreamed of," he says. "If we hadn't found each other, we wouldn't have done it on our own. Plus, it's great that our wives like each other."
Wooten and Roumeliotes met while they were co-managers at Fuel Co. Wooten managed the original Metropolitain in the late '90s and served for a time as Patricia Kluge's butler before taking over the day-to-day operations of Fuel Co. Roumeliotes, who moved here four years ago from California's Napa Valley, has spent 30 years in the restaurant business. Half the battle, says Wooten, was finding the right partner. The other half was finding a location.
"It wasn't easy finding the right spot in town," he says, "but we stayed the course, and now here we are."
In addition to wooing other shops in the Market to stay open later, the two hope their nighttime Mediterranean-style cuisine and daytime gourmet-to-go business will be a fitting replacement for the former tenant, José De Brito, whose bistro and food, cheese, and wine emporium, Ciboulette, graced the space for the last five years.
"Our staff has really stepped up to the challenge," says Wooten, who hopes Orzo will become as renowned for its fine food as was its predecessor.
Kiki Juice
Last time we heard from Andreas Gaynor, the former owner of Fusion and City Centro, it appeared he'd had his fill of the restaurant business.
"I needed to take care of myself. I didn't want to get an ulcer," Gaynor told Dish in January after selling Fusion, which, located under the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, made way for Eppie's. "Don't get me wrong. I had a decent life, and the people at my restaurant were like a family. But it was time to try something new."
After 15 years in the restaurant biz, Gaynor said he was happy to be debt-free and was looking forward to some time to reflect on his next move. "I'm going to relax and see what kind of epiphanies I have," he said at the time.
Well, after several months of relaxing, Gaynor seems to have had his epiphany. In an unusual move, Gaynor has struck a deal with Jeannie Brown, the owner of Kiki Café, to turn the popular, hip late-night joint into a juice bar during the day.
"Because the place is so beautiful already," says Gaynor, "there was really nothing I had to do. Fortunately, Kiki's owner had enough vision and trust to allow me to run a business in her space."
Hoping to pick up the baton from now-closed Liquid (which was three streets to the west), Gaynor says he plans to open on December 15 (10am-4pm during the week). Then he'll pass the keys off to Kiki Café, which has been thriving, he says. No food yet, but Gaynor says he'll be serving up smoothies with real fruit, simple juices, and will eventually begin using the "miracle plant" limu, a kind of seaweed renowned for its health benefits.
"This is my niche," says Gaynor. "I like small-sized venues, where I can offer real quality."
Orzo's Ken Wooten and Charles Roumeliotes hope their Mediterranean-style cuisine will make the Main Street Market a new nightspot.

Gallery 3 is a simple and powerful web based photo management system that lets you host your photos on your own website. Out of the box it is designed to support the common needs for the common users in a simple, elegant and powerful fashion. In order to be successful this necessarily requires Gallery 3 to be limited in scope and to choose simpler options wherever possible. This approach reduces the amount of code that the small developer team needs to support and increases the rate at which they can produce new versions of the product.
To cope with varying individual needs, Gallery 3 is broadly extensible. Internally it uses a system of modules and themes that can be replaced, extended and added. The goal of Gallery 3 is to make it as easy as possible to add a new feature to the system by creating new modules. At the time of this writing, there are over 100 modules available for Gallery 3.
The goal of this documentation is to explain the fundamentals so that a new developer can create their own features and themes for Gallery 3 and share them with the rest of the community.
To quickly start hacking on Gallery, without installing or configuring any development tools on your system (such as Apache, PHP or MySQL), you can use a prebuilt virtual developer box. It contains all Gallery dependencies and configuration wrapped up in an isolated environment, and works on Linux, Mac and Windows. If this sounds like something you'd want to use, please head over to Using Vagrant to get started.
This document contains detailed information and code samples demonstrating how to create modules and themes. In the code samples, the module id will always be example in bold/italics, ie:
"...create your module.info file in gallery3/modules/example/module.info..." "...the event helper will be called example_event..."
When you create your own module or theme, replace this with the actual id of your module.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once wrote that it is every man's business to see justice done. That idea lives on in "West of Memphis," a film funded and produced by Oscar winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh to showcase the miscarriage of justice in the case of the West Memphis Three.
Filled with legal twists and turns, the documentary, spearheaded by the "Lord of the Rings" filmmakers and director Amy Berg, chronicles the 18-year fight to free the West Memphis Three, a trio of poor Arkansas teens who were wrongfully imprisoned in 1994 for the murders of three eight-year-old Cub Scouts.
This story first appeared in the January 2, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"This was a crime that was heinous on all counts. It robbed three families of their loved ones. It robbed three poor teenagers of real justice. It rocked a community and shocked the country," Berg told WWD at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
In 1993, the bodies of Michael Moore, Christopher Byers and Stevie Branch were found in a drainage ditch in the poor rural community of West Memphis, Ark. Prosecutors were convinced the crime was part of a satanic ritual. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were found guilty of the crime. Yet even as they were shuffled off to prison, people began to have doubts about the evidence gathered by the West Memphis police.
"The prosecution's case relied on a false confession forced out of Jessie Misskelley, who was mentally deficient, and on testimony that had been largely recanted in the years since the trial," said Berg. "But the officials behind this conviction were unwilling to admit they had made a mistake. That was the real source of all the trouble behind this witch hunt."
That belief was certainly nothing new.
Directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky relayed that message, as well as a long litany of courtroom discrepancies, in the 1996 film "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," the first of three HBO films on the case. According to these filmmakers, officials zeroed in on these teenagers because they listened to strange music and dressed in black from head to toe.
Jackson and Walsh were outraged after seeing "Paradise Lost" in 2005 and reached out to Lorri Davis, who had met and married Echols while he was on death row and was leading the fight to free these men.
Jackson and Walsh then went on to contribute substantial funds to find new DNA evidence to exonerate the men. That evidence is spotlighted by Berg with a cool, critical hand.
"Even if you knew nothing about this story, people will feel angry, emotional and satisfied when all the facts are laid out," said Berg.
Best known for her 2006 Oscar-nominated documentary "Deliver Us from Evil," Berg was first contacted by Jackson and Walsh in 2008, but was hesitant to sign on.
"I thought I'd spend a couple of months in Arkansas doing some research. That turned into two-and-a-half years," said Berg.
As she dug into the records, she, too, noted disturbing discrepancies. "Whatever was presented in court just didn't hold up. It didn't prove anything about the killings," she said.
Meeting Echols on death row cemented Berg's commitment to the project.
"When the state finally allowed for DNA testing in the case evidence, Damien was the first person in line to give his hair. To me, that was a testament of his innocence. That's when I committed," said Berg.
In 2011, Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were released from prison after accepting the state's offer of an "Alford Plea," a legal maneuver that allowed the men to maintain their innocence while accepting a guilty plea. That moment is captured on film, as are the men's first steps to acclimate to life outside of prison.
"West of Memphis" also points a finger at Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of victim Stevie Branch, who it alleges was the real killer. The 54-year-old man emerged as a possible suspect in 2007 when Echols' lawyers announced they had found two hairs at the crime scene that could be linked to Hobbs.
In one riveting scene, three friends of Hobbs' nephew admit they knew about "the Hobbs family secret." Hobbs has since denied any involvement. He refused to cooperate on the making of this movie.
Today, the West Memphis Three say they would still be in prison had it not been for Walsh, Jackson and Berg.
"Wrongful imprisonment should not happen in the United States of America. But I have hope for change," said Berg.

Served: Learning to Manage Restaurants and Bosses
Hannah Howard has worked in several restaurants, but she's made the switch to the grocery side of the industry. She's now a cheesemonger for a small market chain, and will share her experience here.
Sometimes the restaurant angels descend miraculously from above. Usually they come when all hell is about to break loose. With an understaffed party in our hotel and an unexpectedly full dining room (And look! There's another couple at the door! And another!) we needed a visit from said angels.
The party was a birthday celebration for a church group. We waited for the kitchen to put out the buffet. As an hour, then two, tiptoed by, Deb, one of the owners, and I started to worry. Empty baine maries languished in the center of the room. She rang her hands, I tapped my feet.
The partygoers had opted for only soft drinks, so there was no alcohol buzz to distract them from the wait. All was eerily quiet. Many iced teas and Diet Cokes were poured.
Meet the Owners
One of the things I love about my job is working in a small, family-owned restaurant. We are like family, sometimes a dysfunctional family, sometimes an impressively functioning one.
Deb and Gene are wife-and-husband partners of my restaurant and the nextdoor hotel. They also own many other properties in Philadelphia, including the big apartment building I call home.
Deb is most involved in the operations of the restaurant. She's the one I call boss, and an extraordinary, unique woman. Once a professional ballerina, she is now a photographer who focuses on dancers, athletes, and bodies. In her spare time, she owns a restaurant. She's the only owner I've known to spend an afternoon or two raking leaves and a long, long night sweeping and mopping the basement.
Crazy-Making Night
Gene and Michael hung out at the bar with some businessy friends. They drank tequila and munched cheese and olives.
We were planning for a slow night. Besides the party—and a buffet is the easiest of parties—we had only a smattering of reservations on the books. With two strong waiters (Julia and Kolin), myself, and a bartender, I thought we were prepared to kick butt.
Prepared we were not. Our doors were soon flooded with diners from the hotel and the neighborhood, some regulars, some new faces. Under other circumstances, we would feel relieved to be doing some serious business. That night, we were shocked.
The hotel and the restaurant are separated by a large courtyard, and Julia ran back and forth and back and forth again. She got a good workout.
Kolin was quickly inundated with tables and more tables. He's a great waiter, but enough is enough. The dining room was full. And he had no one but me to help him run food, bus tables, and brew continuous pots of coffee. I did just that, but only between greeting guests and explaining they had to wait, checking in on the party, calming Deb, making cheese plates, and trying to keep a handle on the night.
Where's the Food?
Julia ran with pizza-sized trays of canapés: melba toast slathered with foie gras and medjool date, little bites of short rib risotto, our merguez chicken sausage with pequillo pepper. None of which the kids would touch. The grownups ate though, and I could feel they were waiting for more. Empty plates were whisked away, and the tables sat naked.
Julia saw that back in the dining room, Kolin was in the shits. She tried to help him out, too, mise-ing tables and refilling water before she went back to the hotel with more iced tea.
Deb grew antsy. She felt the party, which had paid good money to rent the room and receive wonderful service, was not getting proper attention and care. So she stayed. She "helped," which isn't always helpful. The waiters have a rhythm, a chemistry, that comes from working in together night after night. They don't need to speak to know: it's time to check up on table 14, and table 22 need gougère, and 19 needs knives for their entrees.
Thanks, Angels
Who are these restaurant angels I speak of? They're the fabulous creatures that inspired the birthday girl, who organized a party for 6:30 and waited until 8:45 until dinner was served, to be totally calm, cool, laid back, and nice.
No one complained, or even commented. In fact, we got a glowing thank you email the next day: We had made her birthday really special, the food was amazing, the space was unforgettable! Hallelujah!
Also in my inbox: a rant from Deb. Deb is notorious for her long, long emails. Sometimes novella long. Astoundingly long.
The short version: she was disappointed she had to stay and help with the party. I shouldn't take her help for granted, she was not a "free waiter." I had seriously messed up by not better staffing the night.
The truth was, I wish Deb would have left, her stress was making the staff anxious, and her help was not particularly helpful. But she wouldn't go. So the night ended with a happy customer and an unhappy boss. As for me, I was unhappy too.

Latest Infectious Disease News
HealthDay Reporters
SATURDAY, May 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A third U.S. man has tested positive for the MERS virus but shows no signs of the illness, federal health officials reported Saturday.
A business associate of the man who brought the first known case of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus to this country in late April, the Illinois man tested positive for the virus on May 16, officials from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
The first case was diagnosed in a health care worker who had traveled to Saudi Arabia and returned to the United States before falling ill and being hospitalized in Indiana. The Illinois man has not traveled outside the United States and has not needed medical care, but lab tests spotted the infection in his blood, CDC officials said.
The Illinois man probably got the virus from the Indiana patient and developed antibodies to fight the virus, CDC officials noted. The men had two business meetings together before the first man fell ill, officials added.
A second case was diagnosed in a Florida man on May 11. A health care worker, the man had also traveled to Saudi Arabia before he was confirmed to have the MERS virus.
"This latest development does not change CDC's current recommendations to prevent the spread of MERS," Dr. David Swerdlow, who is leading the CDC's response to the infection, said in a statement released Saturday. So far, more than 570 people have fallen ill with the virus and 172 have died, most of them in Saudi Arabia.
The health risk to the general public is very low, federal officials have said, because the virus is only passed through close contact.
The second U.S. patient worked in a facility in Saudi Arabia that cared for MERS patients. The patient was visiting family in central Florida before entering the hospital. The patient had traveled from Saudi Arabia to London to Boston to Atlanta, before reaching Florida, officials said.
The patient felt unwell on a May 1 flight to London, but sought care in Orlando. The CDC said it has notified all passengers on the affected flights to be on the lookout for symptoms.
MERS symptoms typically include shortness of breath, coughing and fever.
One-fifth of all MERS cases have occurred among health care workers, CDC officials have said.
On April 28, another U.S. health care worker who'd had close contact with MERS patients in Saudi Arabia was admitted to an Indiana hospital and was later diagnosed with the respiratory ailment.
He has since been released from Community Hospital in Munster on Friday.
MERS kills about one-quarter of the people who contract the virus, according to CDC officials.
In some countries, the virus has spread from person to person through close contact, such as caring for or living with an infected person. But, there's currently no evidence of sustained spread of MERS in general settings, the CDC has said.
Camels have been identified as carriers of MERS, but it's not known how the virus is being spread to people.

Why would you want to make an already-expensive piece of "budget" hardware defy its original intended role even further? If you're Asus, the answer is a nonsensical and apparently rhetorical "Why not?" The gaming-enhanced EeePCs are expected to start showing up before the end of the year. [Reg Hardware]

• In real terms, the Chinese construction industry's output contracted by 0.8% in 2015, following an average annual growth of 8.9% during the preceding four years. Weak economic conditions, low global commodity prices, poor fixed-capital investments, high debt-to-GDP ratios and low investment in real estate contributed to this decline.
• According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the real estate investment growth rate reached 1.0% in 2015, the lowest level since 2011. This was preceded by annual growth of 10.5%, 19.8% and 16.3% in 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
• Over the forecast period (2016–2020), the Chinese construction industry is expected to grow more slowly than during the review period (2011–2015), due to poor economic growth.
• However, expected expansion in the industry over the forecast period will be driven by investment in public infrastructure and renewable energy, and improvements in consumer and investor confidence.
• Government flagship programs such as the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020), the National New-Type Urbanization Plan (2014–2020), social housing programs, China's 2016–2020 Energy Plan and Free Trade Zones (FTZ) schemes are expected to support growth over the forecast period.
• The industry's output value is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.12% in real terms over the forecast period to 2020; down from 6.15% during the review period.

Key Highlights:
• The Chinese construction industry's growth rate is slowing in line with the country's broader economic slowdown. According to the NBS, the construction industry's value add at current prices grew by 3.7%, increasing in value from CNY4.5 trillion (US$732.5 billion) in 2014 to CNY4.7 trillion (US$739.8 billion) in 2015.
• Rapid urbanization and the growing working population have elevated demand for a fast and convenient transport system. Consequently, the government is investing heavily in expanding the country's rail network and high-speed railways; the government plans to invest CNY2.8 trillion (US$438.0 billion) in railway projects over 2016–2020. The government also plans to increase the length of high-speed railway lines from 19,000km in 2015 to 30,000km by 2020.
• To improve regional trade, the government plans to connect China with European and Asian countries through adequate transport infrastructure under the One Belt, One Road plan. As part of this plan, in 2015, the government announced plans to invest CNY5.5 trillion (US$900 billion) to construct the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road. In the same year, the government announced plans to spend CNY124.4 billion (US$20.0 billion) on the construction of a 3,218km high-speed rail network from China to Tehran.
• The government's focus on affordable houses is expected to support the residential construction market growth over the forecast period. Under the National New-Type Urbanization Plan (2014–2020), the government plans to build new urban cities with social houses to accommodate 100 million rural migrants by 2020 and 250 million by 2025.
• The government is upgrading the power grid transmission infrastructure across the country in order to reduce electricity waste in transmission and distribution, as well as to increase efficiency. Accordingly, in 2015, it announced plans to invest CNY2.3 trillion (US$315.0 billion) to construct new power grids, and increase the length of the high-voltage network to 1 million km and medium-voltage network to 4 million km in the country by 2020

After all, we've been pawsitively amazin' durin' our stay. They sure can't say the same 'bout the whiney dog across the hall. Me swears, ifin he starts whinin' at 5 a.m. again, me just might hiss.

Valve's Linux-based SteamOS has been out for a couple of days now, and we've been busily hammering away on our own Ars Technica Steam Machine. We'll be bringing you a short video tour of the operating system later today, but actually creating that video tour required a bit of command line tomfoolery. We ended up with a working technique to capture video and wanted to share it.
There isn't a screen recorder or FRAPS-like video capture equivalent bundled with SteamOS, so we can pick and choose from a number of different open source applications that fit the bill. After a bit of digging, we went with RecordMyDesktop, which can do audio and video from any attached Linux display. Rather than worry about compiling it from source, SteamOS's Debian heritage comes to the rescue: there's a package available on the Debian Wheezy repository.
SteamOS comes configured to pull packages only from Valve's repositories, but that's all right—we're going to download the package directly and install it. However, there are a couple of things to do first.
The caveat: no sound (yet!)
Before we even get into the how-to bits, though, there is one important thing to note: the method below will get you beautiful video without sound—for now anyway. We spent quite a bit of time trying to find the right command line-fu to get audio recorded to go along with our video, but we haven't been successful yet.
I'm sure that it's just a matter of more fully understanding SteamOS's configuration and bolting on the right arguments, but for now, it's video only. If you've got any tips or ideas on how to get sound working, we'd love to hear from you in the comments.
Connecting via ssh
First, you're going to need to be able to connect to your SteamOS box via ssh, because this will save us a lot of pain and contortions when we actually get to the part where we're recording video. SteamOS doesn't come with an ssh server package, but that's easily fixed with one from the Valve repositories.
To install it, exit the Steam overlay and enter the Linux desktop environment (click "Exit" and "Return to desktop environment," assuming you've enabled the option to do so in the SteamOS settings). Summon a terminal window by moving your mouse to the upper-left corner, clicking "Applications," and then clicking "Terminal" from the application list.
This will get you into a bash prompt. From here, install the OpenSSH server package by typing the following command:
sudo aptitude install openssh-server
Because we're using the
sudo command (short for "super user do") to execute the
aptitude package manager with root privileges, you will be prompted for a password to continue. The default password for the desktop account is "desktop," so enter that (all lower-case, no quotes, no comma, obviously). You won't see any asterisks or spaces appear after the password prompt as you type—this is normal.
After the OpenSSH server has been installed, you'll need to determine your SteamOS box's IP address so that you'll be able to connect to it. From the terminal window you've got open, type the following command:
This will run the
ifconfig program, which will show you your network interface status. The output will look something like this:
desktop@steamos:~$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 44:8a:5b:24:fc:aa inet addr:10.10.10.206 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::468a:5bff:fe24:fcaa/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:487359 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:105786 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:704241341 (671.6 MiB) TX bytes:50373286 (48.0 MiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1584 (1.5 KiB) TX bytes:1584 (1.5 KiB)
We're interested in
eth0, which is your SteamOS Ethernet adapter. Look for the
inet addr: line and note the IP address listed.
Now that we know where we're going, you can remotely connect to the SteamOS box from another computer with an SSH client. If you're using a Mac or a Linux box, then all you need is the built-in terminal. If you're running Windows, you should download PuTTY.

Germany and Spain have won the most European Championships with three apiece, while France is next with two. At Euro 2016, these top teams will be the favourites for many, but it's worth remembering that outsiders have won two of the past six tournaments.
This happened when Denmark defeated Germany at Euro '92 and Greece upset Portugal at Euro 2004. It's true that numerous tournaments can go by without an underdog winning. Punters should look out for opportunities at the group stage, where upsets are much more common.
For perspective, read on for the preview of teams to watch out for at this year's Championships.
Croatia has overcome the turmoil of a sacked head coach, the docking of a point and the playing of two qualifying games without a crowd. Nevertheless, they finished second in group H on 20 points, with Italy four clear and Norway one behind. In qualifying, Croatia were stubborn opponents for Italy after earning two 1-1 draws.
Croatia's squad is filled with familiar names like Luka Modrić, Ivan Rakitić, Mario Mandžukić and Darijo Srna. They also have other talented options in Inter Milan midfielder Ivan Perišić and Fiorentina striker Nikola Kalinić.
At Euro 2016, the Croatians will play in a competitive group D against the Czech Republic, Spain and Turkey. William Hill Sports has Spain as 1/16 favourites to qualify, while Croatia is next at 2/7. If Croatia could upset the Spanish, then 7/2 to win the group is appealing. As tournament winners, Croatia is priced at 25/1.
Poland pressed Germany until the very end of qualifying and missed out on winning group D by a single point, as they had the superior goal difference of +23 compared to +15. In their encounters, Poland won 2-0 at home, with Germany winning 3-1 at home.
Those results will have a strong bearing on the tournament, as Poland and Germany have been paired together in group C, along with Northern Ireland and Ukraine. Poland and Germany will resume their rivalry on 16 June 2016, with the victors certain to be favourites to win the group.
At present, William Hill considers Germany the favourites to win the group at 1/3, while Poland is further back at 9/2. Poland doesn't offer much value to qualify at 2/7, but another option would be to back Poland in a top-two finish at 5/6. Meanwhile, their odds lengthen dramatically to 50/1 as Euro 2016 winners.
For Poland, a deep run at Euro 2016 is only likely if star striker Robert Lewandowski plays at his world-class level. Thus far, the Bayern Munich player has made 76 appearances and scored 34 goals for his country, making him a solid prospect to finish as top goal scorer at 16/1 with William Hill.
The Portuguese have never won a World Cup or European Championship in their history. Thus far, the closest they came to winning a major title was when they shocked the footballing world by losing 1-0 to Greece at Euro 2004.
For potential Euro 2016 winners, Portugal represent one of the more likely outsiders at 20/1. In group F, they have the talent to overcome the collective challenge of Austria, Hungary and Iceland. They don't have rewarding odds to qualify at 1/12, but they will be worth 10/11 if they can win the group and then 14/1 for the entire tournament.
On a talent basis, the Portugal squad's success is contingent on Cristiano Ronaldo staying healthy. If the three-time Ballon d'Or winner is on the pitch, Portugal can go far. From the supporting cast, Pepe provides strength at the back, while João Moutinho leads a young midfield of emerging talents in João Mário, Renato Sanches and William Carvalho.
Wales made history last October by qualifying for their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Compared to previous years, qualifying for Euro 2016 was technically simpler after expansion from 16 to 24 teams, but this cannot take away from the quality of Wales' squad.
Gareth Bale is the undisputed star of the team and fresh off a second Champions League victory with Real Madrid, while Aaron Ramsey improved towards the end of his club season with Arsenal. To progress, however, they will need support from defenders Ashley Williams and Ben Davies, and midfielders Joe Allen and Joe Ledley.
Wales already proved their credibility in qualifying, when they finished just two points back from Belgium in group B. In those match-ups, Wales drew 0-0 at home and then won 1-0 at home. Those results were telling for a team that scored 11 goals and conceded only four in ten games. Fundamentally, this is a team built to win by tight margins.
Chris Coleman's players are priced third at 11/2 to win group B, with England on 5/6 and Russia on 11/4 at William Hill. Wales are also considered third favourites to qualify at 8/13, which they can achieve by defeating the Russians in their final group game on 20 June 2016. As overall winners, their chances are distant at 66/1.

I am about to sell my bungalow and in the time I have been here I have installed three velux in the loft area to enhance the light through
At the time I applied to the L/A and was told that no planning consent was required and I could go ahead.
Now the buyers solicitor has asked for a fensa certificate or a certificate from the L/A to approve the buyers loan?
I believe that failing this I will have to pay an insurance premium .
What is the best way (and cheapest) to go about this.
any advice will be appreciated!!

As institutions around the world determine program costs at different times, it is difficult for Education Abroad to provide actual cost information until shortly before the beginning of a program. You are encouraged to consult this document on a regular basis as it is frequently updated with the most current cost information and billing information available.
Students are assessed the standard University Park Penn State Tuition and Technology Fee, an Education Abroad Program Fee, and an Education Abroad Administrative Fee.
The Education Abroad Program Fee includes:
The actual cost of the visa will vary depending on the type of visa required and the student's country of citizenship. The Consulate General of the host country reserves the right to change their visa fees without prior notice. For exact pricing, students should contact directly the nearest Consulate for the host country.
Students may be required to receive certain immunizations to travel to Tanzania.
Regardless of the reason and effective date of withdrawal, it is the responsibility of students to immediately notify Education Abroad in writing and to understand the implications of their withdrawal actions.

Two weeks ago on Thursday we held our first web literacy framework / standard conversation. We, along with interested and influential folks, are thinking through what a web literacy standard might look like and how it might be implemented.
You can read more about our first gathering on this etherpad and check out our recorded interaction here—but before you fall too much in love with that pad or deck, take a gander at this etherpad, too. Because we held another web literacy online gathering just yesterday. (By the way, if you haven't introduced yourself in the web literacy group of the webmaker list, please do.)
Participants at both of these public interactions began to think through and converse about some of the many complex questions surrounding this effort. Things like, what do we mean by the term "standard," and what about people who are educationally or socially underserved, or those folks who are not even on the internet? While we don't have answers to all of these questions, we do anticipate that this communication opportunity will spur a number of lively conversations and perhaps some complex philosophical and sociological inquiries, as well. Of course we want to talk, but more importantly, we want to listen, too.
Questions we're asking
In essence, we're asking a number questions and we'd like your thinking on them. Here are a few that we've been obsessed with lately.
- What are the basic, intermediate and advanced skills that are essential to becoming a productive participant of the web?
- How many are necessary to produce useful competencies?
- What are the related outcomes associated with those skills and competencies? In other words, what might those skills and competencies get you in an applied setting?
- Can we build assessments that support and acknowledge those skills and competencies?
- Can we build APIs that allow you to begin to use these skill and competency assessments right on your own site?
- How can badges be designed that accurately represent those skills and competencies?
- What sorts of badges make sense in a distributed system like this?
And another question that's close to my heart:
- What goes into a badge framework that will encourage other individuals, organizations, educational institutions, etc. to build upon our web literacy badges efforts so that together we construct a viable, meaningful, and valuable network of activities, assessments and badges?
Definition of terms
A lot of this work is contingent upon us reaching some universal agreement about what we mean when we talk about web literacy.* In order for us to make any headway with the development of a standard, at the very least we'll need to be aligned in our understanding and use of this term. Also, you may hear us talk about a standard and a framework somewhat interchangeably: we're focused on building a framework from which a standard will emerge. Our approach for the web literacy badges works similarly: we aim to construct a conceptual framework that encourages other organizations and individuals to form their own badge system nodes in this network. While we're still figuring out how all this gels, we're forging ahead with designing a web literacy badge system that derives its excellence from a variety of committed, web-literacy-standards-aligned issuers contributing to it. I'll explore this idea in detail in future posts.
Systems thinking
One of my favorite posts that I've written on badge system design is Building Trust Networks, Creating Value. If you have questions about how we see this all coming together, you'll find a number of answers there. In short, that post reviews the ways in which trust networks may evolve in the Open Badges ecosystem. It also purports that a system will function at its best if trust grows right along with it: trust that is both internal to the system as well as external to the system. A slightly different way of saying that is that a system will become more resilient if trust becomes and integral aspect of its network effect. The hallmarks of a successful system include resilience and flexibility: we're working to build those into our web literacy badge system.
How we're getting there from here
We've been considering what web literacies might look like. We've released a preliminary set of badges based on low level achievements that can be accomplished using one of our tools. We have a killer team assembled to begin tackling incremental assessment, creating activities that are both informative and inspirational, designing badges that act as guideposts to the standard they represent, and devising possible pathways for people to get from one skill or competency to another.** We're analyzing the best ways to make this an open standard; imagining ways that an API might be able to be useful for things like those incremental assessments.
An invitation
Over the next few days we'll be roughing out a lightweight roadmap; there you'll find specific dates and goals. And exciting next step will be to hold regular weekly calls to publicly investigate, evaluate, and scrutinize this work—this most definitely will be a group effort. You're invited! Please make a point of joining us for our inaugural weekly meeting on Thursday, Feb 28 at 08:00 PST / 11:00 EST / 16:00 GMT.
I'll post more specific dial-in details when they're finalized. Dial-in info can be found on the Web Literacy Standard Community etherpad.
We're excited to have you join us on this journey. Together we will co-create a new web literacy standard, develop badges that reflect that standard and begin to define pathways that lead to rewarding educational, social and personal experiences.
* A quick and appreciative nod to individuals who have been ruminating on digital literacy, digital divides, and technological literacy for years.
** A foundational badge pathways post is coming within a few days. This is a lynchpin concept.
More soon.

I wasn't expecting any change in performance, since the SSD is already incredibly fast.
Call me convinced — moving away from the SATA connection to a PCI card is noticeably faster. I timed it, and my watch says it boots about 10 seconds faster. Since i intend to edit video, another card with an SSD will fit along side this one.
Is it worth the $40 bucks? Yep. This is faster, and frees up a hard drive bay for more storage.
**big** improvement over the same SSD in one of the normal drive slots.
Only weird thing is that the system sees it as an extrnal drive.
I highly recommend Mac Sales and commend them and OWC for coming up with such innovative products that extend the life of MAC Desktop and Laptop computers.
Seriously, my 10 year old MAC Pro is running better then new !
It's only slightly more expensive than a 2,5" adaptor but it's so much more useful!
Highly recommended if you want to get the best out of any SSD in your MacPro.

It's that time again and now forty years on we will all be gathering at Great Ormond Street today for the October 1972 set reunion, and to celebrate forty years as nurses. No matter what any of us may have done since, once you have trained as a Great Ormond Street nurse you stay as one for ever, and for those who may have missed the posts on dovegreyreader down the years, well... if you have a few hours to spare you will find them all here under The Sufferings of a Student Nurse.
Here we were, one day into uniform, rookies all and probably with little idea of what lay ahead once the days of Preliminary Training School were completed six weeks later ready to be sent off to our first ward allocations.
I was sent to do twelve weeks on Private Patients, which gave me a completely unrealistic expectation about the standard of snacks that might be available in a ward fridge at any one time.
By the time we were released onto the wards we had learned amongst other things...
How to do temperature, pulse and respirations whilst staring at the fob watch,
How to take blood pressures on tiny people,
How to test urine,
How to collect a stool sample,
How to fold and change towelling nappies, bath a baby and dress them appropriately,
How to feed a baby,
How to put on a gown and wash our hands and remove several layers of skin in the process,
How to make up a Milton sterilising tank
How not to put dirty flower water down any other sink but the sluice (pseudomonas aeruginosa)
How to work a sluice and a steriliser,
How not to touch a door to go through it but to nudge it with your shoulder (still do it now going into shops)
How to make a cot so that the nursery rhyme pictures on the counterpane faced the child (blue for boys, pink for girls)
How to wear a cape with panache (easy)
How to wear a navy gaberdine rain coat and storm cap with panache (more challenging)
How to fold those hats and keep them on our heads (one lean into the steriliser and all starch gone)
How to button the collar to the dress and then cope with blisters on the neck from the starch,
How to ditch the recommended K skip shoes and replace them with something slightly more becoming,
How to get out of bed the minute the alarm went and be on duty for 7.45 am,
But above all we learnt how to laugh and I am sure there will be a great deal of that today.
We also all quickly accumulated the GOS student nurse's badge of office, a clutch of nappy pins fixed just above the bib of the apron next to the fob watch, and to be worn with pride for the next four years and this being me of course I still have mine, in my little nursing memory box...
Imagine my surprise when I wound up that forty-year old Sekonda watch this week and that tiny second hand started ticking.
'Oh look, let me take your pulse,' I said to Bookhound (that brought back a few memories)
At which point I realised that were I ever to go back into uniform and have do this again my fob watch would need to be pinned to the hem of my apron, not the bib.
Tempus fugit and with it the 20/20 vision etc

Man pleads guilty in OUI crash that killed local dad
Christopher Elicier killed in wrong way crash
A Brockton man who crashed head-on into a car driven by a Wareham man while driving the wrong way on Interstate 495 last June, has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the case.
Phendy Pamphile pleaded guilty to motor vehicle homicide and manslaughter while operating under the influence in the crash that killed Christopher Elicier, 43.
Pamphile was sentenced to six to eight years in prison.
On the night of June 16, 2012, state police were called by a motorist reporting that a car was being operated southbound on the northbound side of the highway in the areas of exits 1 and 2.
Troopers from the state police barracks in Bourne responded and found the vehicle that was driving the wrong way, a 2007 Lexus IS200 sedan, had crashed head-on into the 2012 Hyundai Veloster coupe being driven by Elicier. The collision occurred in the left northbound travel lane, and caused both vehicles to rotate and skid before coming to final rest.
Elicier had been en route to a night shift at his job at Taunton State Hospital, where he had worked for 22 years. He was described as a model employee.
Elicier left his wife of 19 years, Cathy, and two sons, Jordan, 15, and Ryan, 6. Elicier also took care of his mother in-law, Patricia Cullen, who is paralyzed.

ICDDRB Health & Science Bulletin, 10(4) Dec 2012
Uptake of hand washing with soap or soapy water from a large-scale cluster randomized community trial in urban Bangladesh (pdf)
Small-scale studies have shown that intensive hand washing promotion reduces disease, but there is little evidence that largescale hand washing promotion programs change behaviour. We deployed a community-based hand washing promotion intervention and used the presence of water and soap or soapy water at hand washing stations as a proxy indicator for hand washing behaviour and found encouraging results. A cluster randomized cholera vaccine trial conducted in a low-income urban area of Dhaka included those who received the vaccine only (Vaccine Only group), those who received the vaccine and a hand washing and water treatment intervention (Vaccine+HWT group), and those who were neither vaccinated nor received the intervention (Control group). Among the Vaccine+HWT group, the presence of water and soap or soapy water at the hand washing place increased from 22% (41/190) at baseline to 60% (102/171) at the 11-month assessment point (p<0.001). We found no significant increase in the presence of water and soap or soapy water among the Control group or the Vaccine Only group during the same period.
Our findings suggest that hand washing behaviour changed following implementation of a large-scale intervention in a low-income urban setting that provided hardware to enable hand washing and encouraged regular hand washing. Further research on health impact of hand washing with soap in this community and the sustainability of using soapy water could help optimize recommendations for improving hand washing practices in other low-income communities.

Jalal Talabani (Kurdish: جەلال تاڵەبانی Celal Tallebanî, Arabic: جلال طالباني Jalāl Tālabānī; born November 12, 1933) is the sixth and current President of Iraq, a leading Kurdish politician. He is the first non-Arab president of Iraq, although Abdul Kareem Qasim was half Kurdish.
Talabani is the founder and secretary general of one of the main Kurdish political parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). He was a prominent member of the Interim Iraq Governing Council, which was established following the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime by the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Talabani has been an advocate for Kurdish rights and democracy in Iraq for more than 50 years.
Talabani was born in 1933 in Talaban Village and descends from the Talabani tribe that has produced many leading social figures. He received his elementary and intermediate school education in Koya (Koysanjak) and his high school education in Erbil and Kirkuk. In the late 1950s Mustafa Barzani sent him to Syria to study law. He is fluent in Kurdish, Arabic, Persian and English. Talabani has a record of lifelong activism and leadership in the Kurdish and Iraqi causes. In 1946, at the age of 13 he formed a secret Kurdish student association. His youngest son, Qubad, is the representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government in the United States.
