Hello. I have noticed that a number of the PDFs in the Digital Library have overly restrictive security. My main issue is that notes and highlighting are disallowed; I comment on and highlight many journal articles using a PDF reader, and this security issue prevents me from doing this. A few examples are Kadous et al. (2003) in TAR 78 (3) and Hannan (2005) in TAR 80 (1). Can the security be removed from these files (as well as any others that may have this issue across the journals and years)?

His Highness the Aga Khan,
Members of Parliament,
development partners,
chief executives of Bujagali Project Financing Institutions present,
chief executives of Industrial Promotion Services,
Sithe Global and Salini,
Ladies and gentlemen,
I welcome you all to Jinja to witness the laying of the Foundation Stone for Bujagali Hydro-power Project. I wish to extend special welcome to His Highness the Aga Khan and congratulate him on this auspicious occasion of celebrating the 50th anniversary of his ascension to the position of Imam of the Ismaili Muslim Community. I salute all our development partners who have graced this occasion with their presence here in Jinja.
His Highness the Aga Khan has made significant contribution towards the social and economic development of this country. The Aga Khan Foundation for Economic Development's (Akfed) participation in Uganda ranges from manufacturing, finance and banking, the media, social services like education and now infrastructure.
Specifically, in the power sector, Akfed as public- private partnership with Government is operating the West Nile power supply concession under which power supply in the area has been increased from four hours per day to 18 hours per day and also involves the construction of the 3.5 MW Nyagak mini Hydro-power plant, which is expected to be commissioned early next year.
Regarding the Bujagali Hydro-power Project, for which we have laid a foundation stone this morning, Industrial Promotion Services an affiliate of Akfed is leading a consortium called Bujagali Energy Limited, which will be responsible for the development and operation of this project. I understand the Bujagali Project is the largest single infrastructure investment of the Aga Khan Development Network worldwide. I commend His Highness for this remarkable contribution.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bujagali Project has been on our books for a long time. The delay in constructing this power plant plunged this country into a power supply deficit which has greatly affected our economy. As part of the solution to address the power supply shortage, emergency thermal power plants have been installed. This has necessitated provision of huge subsidies from Government to buy down the tariff of thermal generated power.
This state of affairs in the power sector has made us re-examine our energy supply strategies to ensure energy supply security. In particular:
(i) An urgent need has been recognised to mobilise internal financial resources to develop power projects. To this end, an Energy Fund has been established with seed money from the budget.
(ii) Diversification of power supply sources beyond the traditional Hydro-power. These sources include; a) the country's vast renewable energy resources like biomass, solar, wind and geothermal, and b) the recently discovered oil and gas resources in the Albertine Graben. Efforts are already underway to develop the oil and gas resources to cater for our short to medium term power requirements.
(iii) A third opportunity is derived from the available power resources within the expanding East African Community and the environs. The strategy is to build grid interconnections so that there is power flow from places of abundance to power deficit areas.
(iv) An urgent need for professional manpower required to develop the available energy resources was recognised. Recruitment of this manpower is already underway.
Proceeds from the Energy Fund have already been put to good use. In July this year, the Government made available $75m towards the Bujagali Project so that work commences giving adequate time to the lenders to put together the required financing for the project. Once the lenders are ready with the financing, this money will be recovered and injected into other power projects. Government has also been able to provide $17.5m out of the Energy Fund to implement the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the Bujagali transmission line.
Let me take this opportunity to express Uganda Government's gratitude to those who have been and are associated with the development of the Bujagali project. Starting with the project sponsors, I wish to thank members of the Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL) consortium, namely Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) of Kenya, one of the conglomerates of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development) and Sithe Global of USA, for the commitment shown to the project. I am sure that together with the contractor, Salini, BEL will be able to deliver the project on schedule.
Turning to the financiers, I wish to thank the following: Agence Françoise Developpement (AFD) /Propaco of France; African Development Bank; European Investment Bank; Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO); International Finance Corporation (IFC); International Development Association (IDA) KfW/DEG of Germany; and the banks under the IDA Partial Risk Guarantee (PRG) namely Barclays/ABSA and Standard Chartered. I thank you all for the effort you have made in putting together the financing. Last, but not least among the financiers, I wish to thank the Ugandan public who, as I indicated above, are building an Energy Fund, part of whose proceeds has been used to implement some components of the Bujagali Project. The contribution from the Energy Fund over and above the $20m Government contribution inherited from the earlier investment made when we started to develop Bujagali project with AES corporation (Bujagali 1), makes this project a true public-private partnership.
I also wish to thank the multi-institutional Government of Uganda team, which participated in the packaging of the Bujagali project for development, right from the time of selection of the new project sponsor, BEL. This team has conducted the process in a professional and transparent manner. I thank them for a job well done.
Let me briefly touch on the issue of the environment as it relates to the Bujagali Project. The environmental aspects of the Bujagali Project have been extensively studied and debated. I wish to assure the public that the Government of Uganda, working with the project sponsor, BEL will ensure that all the identified mitigation measures are satisfactorily implemented.
As I conclude, I wish to bring to the forefront the investment opportunities in Uganda in the energy and mineral sectors as well as the associated industries. In the petroleum sub-sector, the oil and gas discoveries made in the Albertine Graben are opening up significant opportunities. These include the value addition industries like refining and gas processing together with their attendant service industries.
In the mineral sector we are currently conducting an extensive airborne geophysical survey of the country, which will bring out key mineral targets which would not easily be spotted by conventional mineral exploration means. As results come out, investors both local and foreign should come up and take up the investment opportunities in this emerging mineral sector.
Once again, I congratulate His Highness on this 50th anniversary and wish him many more years. I look forward to a timely commissioning of the Bujagali project.

A Second International Summit of Cooperatives Next Year
13 Feb, 2013, 14:00 GMT
QUEBEC CITY, February 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Desjardins Group and the International Co-operative Alliance announce another Summit to be held October 6-9, 2014 in Quebec City
The first International Summit of Cooperatives held last fall was so successful that another one is being organized for next year. The second Summit will take place in Quebec City, Canada, from October 6-9, 2014.
Desjardins Group and the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) will be teaming up again for this major gathering of the cooperative and mutual community.
"We must continue to build on the success of this first International Summit of Cooperatives," said Monique F. Leroux, Chair of the Board, President and CEO of Desjardins Group. Our goal is to create a forum for decision-makers from the world's top cooperatives and mutuals to discuss complex issues. We want cooperative and mutual leaders to leave the Summit with a wealth of new ideas that will help boost the performance of their organizations."
"The first International Summit of Cooperatives made an important contribution to the Blueprint for a Co-operative Decade that was adopted at the close of the Year of Cooperatives, added Dame Pauline Green, President of the ICA. We must build on the momentum, cohesion, confidence and enthusiasm the Year generated. With the support of our partners, the second Summit will allow us to take stock of progress and drive the Blueprint agenda".
The Summit organizers believe the event met an essential business need for the 2,800 participants from 91 countries. It is imperative to build on this momentum and continue to offer cooperative and mutual leaders potential solutions to the ongoing challenges of growth and performance.
Given the scope and level of participation of the first Summit and the awareness it generated, this event is expected to play an increasingly influential role at the global economic, political and regulatory levels.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Will Tallman' tag.
The results are in and it looks like search results were a relatively accurate predictor of the winners of primaries in Adams County.
Will Tallman, who led Mike Rishel most of the way, came out on top with a voting edge of 3,363 to 2,766. He will face a Democrat, Neil Clifford, in the general election to replace retiring state Rep. Steve Nickol in the 193rd district.
Rich Alloway emerged victorious in the four-way GOP race to replace retiring state Sen. Terry Punt. Jim Taylor came in second, despite lagging behind everyone in search results. But — and I should have noted this earlier even though the numbers seemed too small to mention — Taylor had the most people (three) click through here to his campaign web site. Cathy Cresswell, the third-place finisher, had two click-throughs.
At any rate, here are the final results for the 33rd Senate district: Rich Alloway: 9,266; Jim Taylor: 8,933; Cathy Cresswell: 7,728; Bob Curley: 1,379. Alloway dominated in Franklin County while Cresswell rocked Adams. See county-by-county results here.
Curley, of course, switched parties and ran as a Democratic write-in candidate. The Adams County courthouse lists 2,390 write-in votes by Democrats in the 33rd but doesn't give any names. There were 3,393 Democratic write-in votes in Franklin County, but again no names are attached. York County Democrats added another 357 votes for a total of 6,137. Were they all for Curley? I guess we'll know eventually.
Why wait 24 hours when you can have a prediction on tomorrow's election tonight? On the eve of the most-hyped PA primary in history, I'm posting the local Adams County candidates whose names drew the most searchers to this particular blog both for the entire spring and for the last seven days. Look for an explanation of this exercise here.
There is an interesting difference in the results depending on how far back you look, suggesting that Rich Alloway could be riding to victory on a wave of momentum. If I were you, I would trust the results from the shorter time frame more than the results from all time. WordPress seems to leave some searches out of the latter, creating odd fluctuations.
So, here are the results for all time:
For Terry Punt's Senate seat:
- Cathy Cresswell: 26
- Rich Alloway: 23
- Bob Curley: 12
- Jim Taylor: 8
For Nickol's House seat:
- Will Tallman: 25
- Mike Rishel:7
And here are the results for the last seven days…
For Punt's Senate seat:
- Rich Alloway: 13
- Cathy Cresswell: 12
- Bob Curley:10
- Jim Taylor:8
For Nickol's House seat:
- Will Tallman: 24
- Mike Rishel:5
Tallman is way ahead on the House side no matter how you slice it. On the Senate side, Alloway is up by one over the last week. But one person on Saturday was searching under "pa state senate democrat primary alloway." Is it possible that Alloway supporters are encouraging Democrats to write in his name in a bid to block Curley's write-in bid? Hmmm. I thought politics was supposed to be fair.
Will online searches turn into real votes? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
Here's your Sunday night update on state legislative races in Adams County. The numbers show how many times someone searching a candidate's name has landed on this page. I've already acknowledged the survey's lack of precision. I'm simply curious whether there'll be any correlation between these numbers and actual votes on April 22.
In the Senate race to replace Terry Punt, Rich Alloway is closing the gap with Cathy Cresswell. Bob Curley remains a strong third, and thus a likely viable write-in candidate on the Democratic side. Jim Taylor is a distant fourth. Will Tallman maintains a commanding lead over Mike Rishel in the race to replace Steve Nickol
For Punt's Senate seat:
- Cathy Cresswell: 23
- Rich Alloway: 22
- Bob Curley: 13
- Jim Taylor: 8
For Nickol's House seat:
- Will Tallman: 14
- Mike Rishel: 2
Some searches combine names (eg "cresswell senate alloway") and those are included in the total searches for each candidate.
The York Daily Record provides a nice summary of the candidates running to replace Terry Punt. Here's a story about the House race for Steve Nickol's seat.
I plan to update my search results on the candidates on Sunday night and again on Monday night before the election itself. In short, I'm trying to determine which candidate is most popular based on how many online searches land on this page. It's far from scientific. But, hey. I'm curious to see if searches line up with vote results.
I fear I may be skewing the search results simply by measuring them. But that's a risk I can live with since I doubt any candidates are living or dying by the numbers I post here. If you are, let me know.
With one week to go until real votes are cast, we have a new leader in search requests for the state Senate race to replace Terry Punt. Cathy Cresswell has overtaken Rich Alloway for the lead. Jim Taylor also made it onto the board, finally, but Bob Curley stayed ahead of him for third, suggesting his write-in campaign as a Democrat is getting traction.
In the race to succeed Steve Nickol, Will Tallman extended his lead. More people are looking for him than his opponent, Mike Rishel. One person was looking for "pa primaries state representatives mike."
For Punt's Senate seat:
- Cathy Cresswell:15*
- Rich Alloway: 12*
- Bob Curley: 6
- Jim Taylor: 3*
For Nickol's House seat:
- Will Tallman:8
- Mike Rishel: 1
* Three searches combined Cresswell and Alloway into a single search. I added three to each candidate's total. Another search combined Alloway and Taylor. They each get one as a result.
So it looks like Cresswell is pulling ahead of Alloway. Tallman, who previously ran and lost against Nickol, is on pace to win this time. Or not.
Let's bring some of the online horse race to Adams County, Pa. politics.
People searching online for local candidates often stumble onto this site. I've written a bit about local races, solely in the context of yard signage. The chief contests are to replace two retiring GOP lawmakers, Sen. Terry Punt and Rep. Steve Nickol. I added up the numbers to determine the most-searched replacement candidates as of today, and it's bad news for Jim Taylor:
For Punt's seat:
- Rich Alloway: 11*
- Cathy Cresswell:10*
- Bob Curley: 1
- Jim Taylor: 0
For Nickol's seat:
- Will Tallman: 4
- Mike Rishel: 1
* Three searches combined Cresswell and Alloway into a single search. I added three to each candidate's total
Now, a killjoy statistician would argue that my sample is completely unrepresentative — and far too small, to boot. It only includes searchers who bothered to click onto my site. So what? It's not like people following these races online have tons of material to wade through. So, the fact that they — you — wind up here indicates a higher level of enthusiasm and potentially translates into support at the polls.
So, you can wait until the primary is over in two weeks. But I'm ready to call this thing now: Alloway is your next state senator and Tallman is your next state representative — subject to any change in the numbers between now and April 22.
The presidential yard-sign count along Route 30 in central PA is holding steady at one sign for Obama and zero signs for Clinton. I guess everyone was too busy registering voters to put up many signs over the weekend.
Or perhaps there is little interest in the Democratic presidential contest among denizens of the Lincoln Highway. Other contests (all Republican) have yielded a forest of signs.
Signs for Republican PA legislative candidate Mike Rishel had been popping up slowly. Now they are everywhere, slowly being matched by his primary opponent, Will Tallman, who appears to have a large family.
A third GOP candidate for state senate, Jim Taylor, also is gaining ground. Nonetheless, he is still running far behind his rivals, Rich Alloway and Cathy Cresswell. Taylor's support seems centered in New Oxford, while Alloway and Cresswell appear to own the rest of Adams County toward Gettysburg.

About Dr. Chen's Herbal Tea Formulas
In 1903, Dr. Chen, my grandfather, was born and raised a farmer's child in Tainan city, Taiwan. During this time, most farmers were poor and couldn't afford to send their children to school. Seeing he was extremely bright and eager for knowledge, his uncle paid for his schooling and tuition, making it possible to receive a degree from the school of Agriculture. Then he worked for the Taiwan Agriculture department, at that time under Japanese rule. While spending numerous hours conducting research in the fields of Taiwan, he developed an interest in herbal plants. So, he began to study and research Chinese herbal medicine, collecting herbs, and analyzing them. In 1945, Taiwan returned to the rule of China from Japan. Six years later, he passed the government exam, which certified him as a doctor of Chinese herbal medicine. He opened a clinic and began practicing in Chinese herbal medicine. In those days, people depended heavily on herbal medicine, so he was extremely busy.
Nevertheless as busy as he was, he never forgot the importance of research, and the treatment of modern disease with herbal medicine. His innovative methods opened a new dimension of treatment with Chinese herbal medicine, especially during the polio epidemic, which handicapped thousands. Dr. Chen's herbal treatment had reached an amazing 80% cure rate for polio, gaining immediate island wide reputation. (Compared to conventional herbal medicine treatment, a 60% cure rate was considered very effective.)
Dr. Chen continued researching treatment for other diseases, such as cancer, central nervous system injuries, and many others, while writing many papers, and a book about his herbal treatment. Recognized by medical professors in Japan, they often invited Dr. Chen to conduct his work and research in Japan. Dr. Chen refused their invitations because he loved his hometown, however they continued to exchange their studies and findings with each other. Eventually, he was appointed President of the Tainan Herbal Medicine Association.
In 1989, Dr. Chen died at the age of 87. Dr. Chen passed on all his knowledge to his eldest son, my father. Since he was a child, my father studied herbal medicine from Dr. Chen and became very proficient with herbal medicine. Now, my father is a highly respected lawyer and heads the Tainan Attorney Association. Passed on to him by Dr. Chen, my father has gathered all the secrets of herbal tonics. From among thousands of these herbs he has specifically selected both delicious and effective herbal tea recipes for you. (most herbal prescriptions are quite disgusting!) Now, it's time for you to discover Dr. Chen's herbal tea.

A Gift of Appreciated Stock
Appreciated Stock makes an excellent charitable gift. Under current tax laws, when an appreciated asset (such as stock) is sold, a capital gains tax is due. By making a charitable gift of the appreciated stock, you can avoid or delay the capital gains tax. You can also take an immediate income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the stock, no matter what was originally paid for it.
To take a deduction for gifts of appreciated stock at their current value, you must have owned the stock for more than 12 months. Such gifts are deductible up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income in the year of the gift. Any unused deduction amounts may be used in as many as five subsequent tax years.
Procedure for Donating Appreciated Stock to the American Association of Variable Star Observers [3]
A Bequest Through Your Will
One of the most simple and popular ways to make a gift that will live after you is to give through your will. You can make a gift bequest to benefit the AAVSO by providing a dollar amount, specific property, percentage of your estate, or the remainder (what's left). Such a designation can reduce your estate taxes. In many cases, a simple change to your will can add this bequest and does not require rewriting your most recent will.
Create a Charitable Remainder Trust
Donors and spouses can benefit from lifelong payments from such a trust. The donor selects the rate of return from these income arrangements and also chooses a fixed or fluctuating annual payment to be made to the designated parties as long as they live. Capital gains tax may be completely bypassed and you will receive a tax deduction based on the age of the income recipient and the rate of return chosen.
Establish a Charitable Lead Trust
In a charitable lead trust, assets (generally cash or securities) are transferred to a trust that pays income from the fund to your favorite charity or charities for the number of years you select. At the end of the designated time period, the trust terminates and the assets are given back to the person you name. This trust helps to lower estate and gift taxes that would otherwise be due on the assets. This option is especially attractive if you want to leave your children or grandchildren assets in the future, but not immediately.
Design a Gift Annuity
In exchange for a gift of cash, stock, or securities, the AAVSO will pay you, you and your survivor, or another person named by you, a guaranteed income for life. In addition, you receive a substantial income tax deduction in the year of the gift, and part of the annual payment is non-taxable. Your annuity payment and tax deduction are based on the age and income of the recipient.
Consider a Deferred Gift Annuity
A deferred gift annuity is similar to a gift annuity except that payments begin for you at a future date of your choice, such as your retirement. Your tax deduction and the annual rate of return on your annuity increase the longer you wait to start payments. This is an excellent retirement planning method to implement during prime income producing years that will benefit you later.
Use Your Life Insurance
Insurance is another simple way to make a substantial future gift at a level that would not be possible at the same level in cash. Name the AAVSO the owner and beneficiary to receive the proceeds of an existing life insurance policy. You will receive a tax deduction for approximately the cash surrender value, thereby reducing your tax liability in the year of the gift.
An alternative is to purchase a new life insurance policy naming this organization as owner and beneficiary. With this option, you receive an income tax deduction for each premium made and make possible a major gift to your favorite charity with a modest annual payment (or one-time premium payment).
Look to Retirement Accounts for Gift Opportunities
Account funds (IRAs or company plans) beyond the comfortable support of yourself or loved one may be given (like life insurance proceeds) to the AAVSO by proper beneficiary designation. Large pension plan assets can be subject to double or triple taxation (federal estate, federal income, and state death and state income tax) that virtually eliminates the benefits to heirs if tax-wise alternative planning is not arranged.
Plan a Gift of Real Estate
For some people, a gift of land, primary residence, or vacation home is a preferred way to make a gift. You will receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value, avoid all capital gains tax, and remove this asset from future estate taxes. One option is to give real estate while you retain a life tenancy. This provides a substantial income tax deduction by giving (deeding) your home or farm to your favorite charity now. You continue to live there, maintain the property as usual, and even receive any income it generates. At your death the property will be sold and the proceeds will support the mission of the AAVSO.
For most planned giving you will need the AAVSO federal identification number: 042 164 402

According to Reuters, the two girls who were from a low-caste Dalit community went missing from their village home when they went out to go to the toilet on Tuesday evening, May 27th. The following morning, villagers found the bodies of the two teenagers hanging from a mango tree in a nearby orchard.
Indian police have arrested one man and are looking for four other suspects. The police said a post-mortem confirmed the two minors were raped and died from the hanging. DNA samples have also been taken to help identity the perpetrators, the police told reporters.
The victim's families allege that local police were shielding the attackers as they refused to take action when the girls were first reported missing.
It was only after angry villagers found the hanging corpses and took the bodies to a nearby highway and blocked it in protest, that police registered a case of rape and murder.

An interesting thing happened. This little group of friends decided, mostly as a joke, to call themselves the Library Society of the World. Then that Society got big.
The amateur anthropologist in me has been watching the group negotiate this phenomenon for a while now, and it's fascinating. Here's a short sketch.
Two years ago, Josh created a wiki and basically told his friends "Wouldn't it be fun if we called ourselves the Library Society of the World? Sign up, give yourself a silly title, and have fun." At that point, we mostly communicated via Twitter and a Meebo chat room. At that point, we talked just like we'd been talking before. The only difference was that we'd adopted a group name.
Fast forward about a year as friends of friends started joining in the discussion. We still hung out in the Meebo chat room, though Twitter had blown up one too many times and most people had jumped ship for FriendFeed. I now no longer knew everyone I was talking to if I posted to the LSW FriendFeed room, which was pretty cool. My core group of friends was still my core group of friends because we'd been friends for a while now (of course there were a few new friends in the mix, because that's how friendships work over time), but the LSW was bigger and broader than that core group, and there were even whole social networks of LSW members that I hadn't joined (like LinkedIn for example).
Then an interesting thing happened. People started joining the LSW never having known it in its infancy. People started hearing about it at conferences and workshops. Big Names started declaring allegiance. New members figured they were joining A Group, something substantial, something with heft and momentum and growing name recognition (albeit, a Group with a pretty lose sign-up mechanism). Joining and participating in A Group comes with a whole different set of expectations than joining and participating in a circle of friends.
And at this point, with membership estimates topping 800, it's entirely reasonable for new members to expect the thing to feel like A Group rather than just a group. Protesting that it's "just a group" is becoming less and less productive. At the same time, the thing is a grassroots collection of librarians doing stuff and sharing information, which means that there's really no formalized set of processes, governance, or oversight that people might expect from a Group. I'm not even sure I know where all the social networks are that have been created in the name of the LSW. The whole idea is for people to jump in and just do stuff, kind of like we did when we were just librarians doing stuff who also happened to be friends.
I'm fascinated to watch this Group (for it is undeniably too big to protest that it's not A Group) and see how it weathers these growing pains. For my part, if I hear "I wish the LSW were more [fill in the blank] than it is," I hope I'll answer with an encouraging "Then help make it that way! Or at least make your corner of it that way," rather than with something along the lines of "But that's irrelevant because it's really not a formal Group."
Personally, I think this is an exciting development. It means that things are different, sure, and that we should probably take a step back and decide what will have to change and what can and should stay the same. But if more and more people start doing stuff in the name of the LSW, developing friendships, and forming their corners of the LSW into whatever it is that they need it to be, I think this can only be a good thing.

Some useful tips to get you through the storm and aftermath
NEW HAVEN - As a fierce snowstorm heads to the Northeast, residents are stocking up on flashlights, batteries, canned goods, ice melt and other supplies.
But with a storm of the magnitude expected, there's more to think about, including winter driving, care of the home, watching out for the elderly and even caution about carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will hold a media briefing today at 6 p.m. on state preparations for the coming snowstorm.
From all reports, it looks like a big storm - possibly historical - that could leave 1-2 feet of snow and bring high winds and possibly power outages.
The state's Department of Motor Vehicle is reminding drivers to remove snow and ice from their vehicles.
Those traveling with ice or snow covered cars face fines of $75 or more for having a car on the road loaded down with these icy elements.
The state law, which aims to prevent safety risks from these blowing winter hazards, pertains to passenger cars and other non-commercial vehicles. Fines can increase up to $1,000 for drivers who operate these vehicles when flying snow or ice off them causes personal injury or property damage.
"All drivers should take an extra few minutes to remove most of the snow and ice so it does not endanger themselves or others," DMV Commissioner Melody A. Currey said in a statement. "That will be time well spent to avoid needless hazards on the roadways.
A similar law pertaining to commercial vehicles is scheduled to go into effect later this year.
The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America had more tips for motorists:
- Take safety precautions and drive defensively.
- Winterize your car by checking your antifreeze, battery, tires and windshield wiper fluid. Make sure your headlights, taillights and emergency flashers are working.
- Prepare an emergency travel kit with items such as blankets, jumper cables, a shovel, a flashlight, salt, flares and other emergency supplies. A toolkit, bottled water and snack food are also useful items to include.
- Keep at least half of a tank of gas in your car at all times.
- Slow down and keep extra distance between your car and other vehicles
In addition, the Connecticut Department of Public Health is warning residents of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
With the potential for blizzard-like conditions and large amounts of snowfall with tomorrow's storm, a chance for power outages and deep snow could cause dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to buildup in homes and cars, a department spokesman said.
In the event of a power outage, DPH asks residents to use portable generators safely and not bring outdoor grilling devices inside the home for cooking or warmth. Exhaust from portable generators and outdoor grills contain carbon monoxide. Opening windows and doors, and operating fans is not sufficient to prevent the buildup of CO in a home.
Senior care experts are encouraging families to make sure their senior loved ones and neighbors are prepared for the possibility of heavy snow, ice and frigid temperatures.
The extreme temperatures and snow of winter can be especially dangerous for older adults, and those with heart disease are at special risk, according to the American Heart Association.
"As people age, their ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature often decreases," said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® franchise network, in a statement. "Because elderly people seem to be relatively insensitive to moderately cold conditions, they can suffer hypothermia without knowing they're in danger."
The following tips, from the local Home Instead Senior Care® office, will help you safeguard a senior loved one or neighbor.
- Help them stock the staples and groceries they'll need in the event of a large snowstorm or cold spell.
-Encourage them to make sure they have adequate insulation and to check and clean the fireplace and furnace. Replace furnace filters monthly.
- Help them fill old socks with sand and use them in drafty windowsills and door jams. Weather-strip around windows and doors. Keep doors closed to unused rooms and close curtains at night.
- Advise them to add an extra blanket to the bed and warm the bed in advance with a hot water bottle. Never use electric blankets. A senior may not be able to operate the controls if the temperature needs to be adjusted in the night.
- A senior's circulation decreases with age. Encourage your senior to wear an extra sweater or sweatshirt, and sweat pants during the winter.
- Check to make sure that they're keeping the thermostat above 65 degrees during the cold weather. Older adults are particularly susceptible to hypothermia, which can develop over a few days and weeks even in the mildly cool indoor temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees.
- Make sure they are not trying to save money by keeping the thermostat down. Many communities have energy assistance programs for low- and fixed-income households.
- Make sure they have made arrangements to have driveways and walkways cleaned. Salt and sand should be available to speed melting.
- Stay in touch. Check on your neighbor or loved one frequently during periods of cold and snowy weather.
- Build a network. You can't always be around to help your elderly loved one. Call on neighbors, family and church members to help or contact your local Home Instead Senior Care office.
The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America warns homeowners to watch out for hazardous conditions that can lead frozen pipes and roof problems.
"Homeowners and motorists should not underestimate the amount of damage that snow can cause," said Frank O'Brien, vice president for PCI, in a statement. "Whenever severe weather occurs, insurers are prepared to work with consumers to minimize the inconveniences and help make the claims process go as smoothly as possible. Insurers encourage property owners to report their claims as soon as possible to begin the recovery process. If there is damage make temporary repairs and keep receipts, as those costs may be reimbursed under your policy."
The most frequent problems for homeowners during major snowstorms are power outages, falling trees and damage caused by those falling trees. The Association issued the following tips and warnings:
- Stay away from downed power lines, even if they do not appear to be "live." Call the power company to report any outages.
- If your tree damages a neighbor's property, he or she should file a claim with his or her own insurer.
- If the tree falls on your own house, damage to the house is covered. Generally the policy covers the cost to remove the tree from the house.
- However if the tree or branch falls and does no damage to a covered structure, generally there is no coverage for the tree or to remove the tree from the premises.
If your property does sustain damage, take the following action:
- Report all damage to your insurance company or agent as soon as you can in order to settle your claim more quickly and accurately.
- If it is safe to do so, take steps to protect your property from further damage and theft by making emergency repairs. Use plywood, tarps and other materials to cover openings in roofs, walls and windows.
- Keep receipts for anything you buy so you can submit them to your insurance company later.
- Inventory all damaged property, take pictures of the damage and check with your insurance company before throwing away any damaged property. Identify the structural damage to your home and make a list of everything you would like to show the adjuster.
- To settle your claim more quickly and accurately, prepare as much information as possible about your damaged possessions when your insurance adjuster comes to look at your property.
- Talk with your agent about what your deductible will be for the storm damage. The deductible can be either a flat dollar amount or a percentage of the home value.
- Many standard homeowners and renters policies provide for reimbursement of additional living expenses when the property is determined to be uninhabitable due to damage. This provision helps in paying for increases to necessary living expenses such as temporary housing and restaurant meals. Additional living expense coverage does not pay for all living expenses. It covers only the increase over normal living expenses.

Willy Mason is to traipse around this fair kingdom in May in support of his second album, due for release on March 5, If The Ocean Gets Rough.
The dates will be his first tour since supporting Radiohead last summer, and he will be accompanied by his little brother Sam Mason (who today has stole my heart away) Nina Violet and Kahoots, but I don't what they sound like for they aren't as cute as the sibling. It's Monday. I can be superficial.
Anyways, DiS rather loved Mr Mason's debut Where The Humans Eat and is excited at the prospect of re-acquaintance. Tickets are on sale today.

Stir in Argentina Visit Rebecca Gomperts to Argentina sparks abortion debate.
On December 8, 2004, Rebecca Gomperts visited Argentina on the invitation of Noemi Oliveto of the party Selfdetermination & Freedom.
The visit sparked a stir amid city lawmakers after a row in the hall of the Cultural center of San Martin in Buenos Aires, where she was speaking at a conference on December 10. Anti-abortion extremists tried to disturb the conference and were pushing and beating pro-choice activists. After a while the police had to intervene. Because of the clash, the director of the Cultural Center decided to cancel the rest of conference planned for the next day. But it should not be possible that a small group of anti-abortion rights protesters were able to prevent the human right to free expression and undermine a democratic debate about the consequences of illegal abortion in Argentina. Fortunately, an alternative accomodation was found and the conference could continue without further disturbances.
In Argentine, abortion is forbidden and punishable by prison, except when the pregnancy is caused by a rape of a woman with mental illness or when the mother's life is in risk and it cannot be resolved in other ways. In these two cases, the judge first has to give permission for the abortion. However, the extreme delays caused by the court system makes abortion even in these rare cases impossible, because the pregnancy is too advanced by the time the judge makes his decision.
Each year, approximately 400,000 abortions are done in illegal and unsafe circumstances in Argentina. In 2000 some 79,000 hospital admissions due to complications caused by abortions practiced in unsanitary conditions were registered. Of these, around 16,000 women suffer serious permanent physical damage. Each day at least 2 women die unnecessary because of improperly performed abortions.
As everywhere it is women without financial means who suffer from the injustice done by the restrictive abortion laws. Women with money can afford to pay for a doctor who is willing to perform safe abortions for at least 500 USD.
In Argentina more then 40% of the population lives under the poverty threshold.

In a report on the impact of sanctions on the Iranian regime, which has led to an economic crisis, the Arab language al-Arabiya TV said on Sunday that monetary imbalances is one of the outcomes of international punitive measures against Tehran.
The TV said Iran's merchants are increasingly blaming the regime for the Bazaar's recent misfortunes.
According to al-Arabiya, an extension of such measures can lead to the collapse of the currency and gold markets in Iran. "This is a warning that foreign exchange shops have issued. They have ceased all currency trade and are now fearing currency debasement."
"According to reports obtained by al-Arabiya, trade in currency and gold markets in Iran have come to a halt, and there is evidence that the tension is linked with international sanctions against the regime," the TV said.
It also added that gold sellers in the southern city of Ahvaz have joined an extensive protest already covering gold bazaars in Tehran and other major cities. Merchants are challenging the regime's claims that it is capable of resolving the crisis, al-Arabiya said.
While a bank has declared the exchange rate for Iran's currency to be 1,850 Tomans for every dollar, foreign exchange retailers are refusing to carry out their activities, with one of them telling al-Arabiya that the foreign currency market in Iran is now facing a crisis.
According to experts, currency traders and the gold coin market may face new tensions especially since the current situation in Iran has been unprecedented in the past decade, the TV report added.

Story highlights
Muhammad Ali participates in the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Games
He lit the Olympic cauldron in Atlanta some 16 years earlier
Ali is well-known worldwide for his boxing and humanitarian efforts
Fifty-two years ago, a triumphant Muhammad Ali stood on top of a podium in Rome, representing the United States as a gold medalist in the heavyweight boxing division at the Summer Olympic games.
On Friday, the three-time heavyweight champion, whose name became synonymous with the phrases "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" and "I am the Greatest," made another memorable appearance late Friday during a spectacular opening ceremony ushering in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
Appearing frail and in a white suit and tie, Ali was among a handful of dignitaries and other special guests who escorted the Olympic flag in the east London stadium. He then sat as the flag was raised, minutes before seven young promising athletes lit the Olympic cauldron.
7 young athletes light Olympic cauldron at lively opening ceremony
Three decades ago, Ali was forced to retire from boxing following his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease although he never retreated from living a public life.
Ali arrived in London on Tuesday with his wife, Lonnie, in part, to raise money for the Muhammad Ali Center and promote Generation Ali, a social media site which focuses on educating young people about his core values, according to Ali Center spokeswoman Jeanie Kahnke. On Wednesday, Ali was honored at the Sports for Peace Gala and later met with U.S. Olympic athletes.
Ali's participation at the London games represented another poignant moment for him in opening ceremonies. In 1996, Ali brought millions of fans to tears at the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. With more than one billion worldwide viewers, the most recognized person in the world ascended the stadium steps with hands trembling but never wavering to light the lamp cauldron.
Outside the ring, Ali's influence as a humanitarian, mediator in world conflicts, civil rights crusader and fierce opponent of the Vietnam War, a stand which cost him his title and millions in earnings, all elevated his stature in modern history.
Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942 during an ugly era of racial segregation in America. At age 12, Ali's world changed forever when a white police officer introduced him to boxing. The sport became an outlet for his rage and offered the young man an opportunity to develop his remarkable talent.
Just months after he turned 18, Ali – then still known as Clay – won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. A hometown parade in his honor would soon be overshadowed by racism when Clay was refused service in a white-owned restaurant because of Jim Crow laws and racial bigotry. In his memoir, "The Greatest," he wrote that he tossed the medal into a Louisville river in disgust over racial prejudice in America.
T-Rex: The Youngest Female Olympic boxer
Four years after his pro debut, Clay's biggest moment had arrived, a title shot at the heavyweight championship against a fighter most experts thought was invincible, Sonny Liston. Despite 7 to 1 odds, the young Clay began a relentless assault of verbal attacks calling Liston "the big ugly bear."
Clay's verbal taunts shifted into a flurry of fast and precise jabs, unleashing a volley of punches from every angle. By the end of the fight, Liston's face was bleeding, and his was physically and mentally broken. The fight was over, and the boxing world was stunned.
"I shook up the world, I shook up the world," proclaimed Ali as he pushed his way through a swarm of journalists and supporters in the ring.
To prove the point that a new champion had ascended, Clay put Liston away for a second time in a rematch the following year.
The 1960s were glory days for the young champion, but the civil rights era became a controversial and polarizing period in his life. He renounced his given name of Cassius Clay and joined the black separatist Nation of Islam. "Ali was a child of the South and understood racial segregation, he watched as black people were beaten, bitten by dogs and lynched and all of that had an impact on him," said sports sociologist and University of California professor emeritus Harry Edwards.
When he wasn't in the ring, Ali often found himself at the center of civil rights protests and rising black anger over white resistance to racial integration.
"Self determination was a powerful image at that time and instead of striving to share space with people who hated blacks, Ali took the position that "we as black men are able to stand on our own feet, develop our own institutions and be men," Edwards said.
In spite of Ali's alliance with the Nation of Islam and its philosophy of black separation, Ali's lifelong trainer, Angelo Dundee, the son of a white rail road worker, remained a close confidant. In his memoir, "My View from the Corner: A Life in Boxing," Dundee said of Ali, "I never heard anything resembling a racist comment leave his mouth. There was never a black-white divide." In a sport where fighter-trainer relationships rarely last, Dundee and Ali would never separate.
Ali's World Boxing Association heavyweight title was revoked after he claimed conscientious objector status and refused to serve in the Vietnam War. "I ain't got no quarrel with them Vietcong," Ali said after his draft. At the peak boxing age of 25, Ali gave up tens of millions of dollars in endorsements and faced five years in prison in defiance of a war that he called "despicable and unjust." To earn a living, Ali made television appearances and spoke on college campuses, joining anti-war protesters.
Ali would fight his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where his conviction was later overturned on a technicality.
"When Ali put everything he achieved on the line in difference to his religion and political principles that got attention around the world," said Edwards. "People eventually came to believe Ali was sincere and over time there developed a tremendous degree of unquestioned integrity about him."
Navigating the 'Isles of Wonder': A guide to the Olympic opening ceremony
By 1970, the anti-war sentiment had gathered momentum, and the next decade would mark a turning point in Ali's life. In 1971, Ali was back, and the stage was set for a showdown between the undefeated Ali and unbeaten WBA champion Joe Frazier. Each man was guaranteed $2.5 million, the biggest boxing payday ever in the sport for a bout seen by an estimated 300 million viewers worldwide.
Their rivalry would become epic and intensely personal with constant verbal taunting from Ali. On March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden the match dubbed "The Fight of the Century" began with both fighters engaged a series of powerful punches and counter attacks. In the 15th round, Frazier unleashed a devastating left hook that caught Ali on the jaw, knocking him to the ground. It would be only the third time Ali had been knocked down in his career and led to his first professional defeat.
He won a 1974 rematch with Frazier, earning another shot at the heavyweight champion title, which would turn out to be the fight of his career and one of the most memorable events in sports history.
"The Rumble in the Jungle" in central Africa put Ali against fearsome champion George Foreman, a 3-to-1 favorite. In what is considered to be his best tactical fight, Ali once again stunned the boxing world declaring, "I told you all that I was the greatest of all time."
By reclaiming the heavyweight title, Ali and Frazier were poised to meet again for a third and final time. On October 1, 1975, the "Thrilla in Manila," as it became, known took place at the Philippine Coliseum outside the capital, Manila. While Frazier voiced no political views and could not match Ali's charisma, he was characterized as the favorite of the establishment.
Ali's assault would take its final toll, when Frazier, deeply battered, with one eye swollen and shut, was unable to come out and face Ali for the 15th round.
When the fight was stopped, Ali remained ahead on the scorecards of all three judges. In a post-fight news conference Ali said, "It's the closest I've come to death."
Ali's third comeback and victory over Leon Spinks in 1978 allowed him to claim the heavyweight title for a record third time.
His last professional fight in 1981 marked the beginning of another battle that Ali described as his toughest, the diagnosis three years later that he was afflicted with Parkinson's disease. After two decades of redefining the heavyweight division, Ali was forced to retire with a lifetime record of 56 victories and five defeats.
Although his physical condition deteriorated, Ali continued to assert his influence in the humanitarian community. He served as a mediator in world conflicts, primarily throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In 1990, before the first Gulf war, Ali personally visited former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and secured the release of 14 U.S. citizens held captive and used as human shields.
"The fact that he was a serious and dedicated Muslim devoted to put everything on the line, including his life, in a culture like Iraq. Iif Ali comes in and says, 'Let these people go,' even a monster such as Hussein could probably at some level be moved by his humanity," said Edwards, the historian.
Muslim Olympians wrestle with Ramadan dilemma
Serving as a U.N. Messenger of Peace, Ali has visited over 100 countries, meeting world leaders, monarchs and human rights agencies to provide humanitarian assistance.
Ali was voted the greatest athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated, where he'd appeared as a cover story more times than any other athlete. Upon his selection, his wife, Lonnie, told CNN, "There is no more fitting symbol for the civil rights era than this man who defied all the rules, refusing to be silenced and did it all with style and grace because of his unrelenting pursuit of peace and racial equality."
In 2005, Ali was presented with the nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential Medal of Freedom.
"My father's spirit has experienced and survived many challenges," said his daughter Hana Ali, who co-authored his autobiography, "The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey."
According to Hana Ali, the heavyweight champion was never content with simply winning titles. "I've always wanted to be more than just a boxer," she quoted him as saying.
"I wanted to use my fame and this face that everyone knows so well to help uplift and inspire people around the world. I've made my share of mistakes along the way, but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven't lived in vain," her father said, according to Hana Ali.
While Parkinson's disease may have robbed Ali of the physical traits he treasured the most – his fluid, eloquent moves – his commitment to humanity has never wavered.
Downtown Louisville, a city that once forbid Ali from sharing the same public facilities with whites, now includes the Muhammad Ali Center. The center promotes Ali's six core values: respect, confidence, conviction, dedication, spirituality and giving. Inside the cultural center and museum, Ali's voice can be heard on plasma screens, reminding those who tried to silence him that "The Greatest" has lived up its name.
"Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right, when he knocks you down, you'll sleep for the night and when you lie on the floor and the ref counts to ten, hope and pray that you never meet me again," says Ali.
