There are more than 23 million small businesses in the US. They provide us with things like coffee every morning, dry-cleaned clothes, legal representation, preventative healthcare and tax prep. Take a peek into their lives, and thank a small business owner for all they do today! (Hugs are good too.)
You can't count the number of times you've heard the phrase "Wears many hats. But you know it's way more than the number of hats you have – metaphorically and in your closet.
Vacation – what's that?! You can't remember the last time you made it through an entire vacation without checking in with the office, reading emails or making business calls. Maybe when you retire.
It drives you crazy when people say, "But you're your own boss! How hard can that be?" If it was this easy, everyone would run their own business.
You're a networking machine. Whether it's catching up with the president of the Chamber of Commerce at the post office or running into a potential client at dinner, you always stop to have a word (or 500). How else are you supposed to know what's going on in your community and industry?!
You're a planner. A good business plan is a work of art – and you aim to be Van Gogh.
You're part of the backbone of America – thank you for all that you do!
Last week, our Brand Director, Ali, shared the details of our site redesign. We hope you've had a chance to look around and – more importantly, we hope you like what you see!
Our site was redesigned to assist our customers with all things business continuity; our revamped business plans put the pro in professional and our new server plans serve all your data protection needs. Rest assured, Carbonite still offers the same simple, automatic backup for your personal computer, home office or small business – but we've added some great features to ensure that our plans are covering all your bases! As we've talked to more and more business owners who are backing up with us, we've gotten some important insights into what businesses want and need. And we've incorporated that feedback into designing our new plans.
Check out the details:
Pro Starting at $269.99 per year, our HIPAA-compliant Pro plans will back up the financial data, healthcare records and other crucial business files on all of your business's workstations. See how we stack up against the competition. Server You can now back up all of your databases and live applications – like Exchange, SQL & Oracle – starting at just $799.99 per year. And just like our Pro plans, our Server options can help your business keep up with HIPAA compliance. Our server plans also boast the fastest speeds around!
Appliance Fast backups and restores and minimal downtime in the event of a disaster are two critical pieces to all business continuity plans. With the new Carbonite appliance, images of your business's servers are saved on-site and in the cloud.
Sync & Share Accessing your data is just as important as protecting it and work doesn't always end when you leave the office. So we've added Sync & Share to all of our plans, arming you with the ability to access, edit and share documents with your colleagues and collaborators – even if they aren't Carbonite customers!
We hope these updates make your life easier when it comes to chosing the right plan for your needs. And if you're already backing up your business with us, our added features will continue to provide peace of mind, knowing your data protected and your business has the power to stay up and running. Stay tuned because there's more to come!
From technology to our website (like our new look?!), a lot has changed since we started backing up, back in 2005! But one thing has always remained constant for us: understanding the importance of protecting what matters. We were founded around a dining room table after our CEO's daughter lost a semester's worth of work, and our co-founder's wife lost a laptop full of pictures.
Now we're helping our customers save so much more than memories and homework. We're backing up files, folders and servers. We're helping businesses reduce downtime after a disaster. Over the years, we've found that we're able to help our customers by understanding what's important to them, and offering solutions that are easy, automatic and affordable.
Along with our new site design and new plans is an all new blog! Not only do we have your backup, but we've also got your back when it comes to all things business. So stay tuned, because we'll be sharing tips, tricks and expert advice to keep your small business up-to-date on tech trends.
No matter the industry, when your home is your office, you're often an IT professional too! Our recent survey shows that, from saving time and money to utilizing new technologies to streamlining operations, employing cloud solutions greatly benefits small businesses.
Almost all small businesses are actually using the cloud in some capacity, but nearly half of our respondents thought they were working without it. So it's no surprise that 8 out of 10 respondents admitted they aren't using the cloud to its full potential.
One of the best ways to employ the cloud at your small business is with automatic online backup.
If you're already using Carbonite, you know the cloud is brings benefits with automatic, offsite backup. But did you know that with our Anytime, Anywhere Access feature, the cloud can do even more? From anytime, anywhere access, to restoring lost or deleted files, the cloud acts as an amazing personal assistant whose got your back(up).
Check out this infographic to learn more about work from home trends, visit our Small Business Hub for articles about efficiency and productivity.
Symantec is discontinuing Backup Exec.cloud next month, and we have a special offer to keep your business protected.
Current Backup Exec.cloud customers who switch to Carbonite will receive the equivalent of their Backup Exec.cloud subscription for free! Contact our Business Team at email@example.com or 855-227-2249 to redeem this special offer!
How do Carbonite plans compare to Backup Exec.cloud?
Still need convincing? We know that your business has a need for speed, and Carbonite Server Backup is proven to be more than twice as fast as leading competitors. Check out the results for yourself!
When it comes to getting your critical files and databases backed up, we understand your business' need for speed. And we're excited to announce that Carbonite Server Backup has been tested and proven to be the fastest among leading competitors!
The Tolly Group tested Carbonite Server Backup against Mozy Pro, CrashPlan Pro and SOS Online Backup using a 54.6GB dataset that included multimedia, office documents, compressed archives, web server data and system files and applications.

*Due to global deduplication, Mozy Pro was only able to complete one full backup and restore, while the others were each tested twice.
We're excited to offer server backup to our business customers, and we're thrilled that the Tolly results backed up what we already knew – our server solutions protect their valuable data so they can get back up and running as quickly in the event of data loss or disruption!
Lately, we're sharing a lot of news about moving faster! Last week we announced that we've eliminated our throttling policy, increasing bandwidth (allowing for a faster back up experience for our customers) and now we're thrilled to share that we've earned a spot on Deloitte's Fast 500 list for another year!
The Fast 500 ranks North America's fastest growing companies and we're proud to be included on the list, alongside 36 of our Boston-area neighbors!
Want to learn more about the fast-growing, innovative companies that made the cut? Check out the winners' brochure or following the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #Fast500.
We know that your data is precious, and that you want it backed up to the safety of the cloud as quickly as possible. So now we're making your secure, automatic backup even better!
We're excited to announce that we've eliminated our 200GB throttling cap and expanded our bandwidth capability!
Sure this sounds awesome, but what does this mean for you and your backup?
Well, we could explain how we've responded to our customers' feedback by removing the 200GB throttling cap in a few paragraphs here, but in the spirit of things going faster – check out this video!
By backing up your files, you've already taken an important step in protecting your computer – but there are threats beyond data loss that you can prepare for.
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that is developed to disrupt or damage a computer system. It can appear in a number of ways, and can be used to gather private information, delete data or even lock people out of their own files. According to Kaspersky Labs, there are more than 200,000 new malware threats per day!
One such malware, Cryptolocker, has been making the internet rounds over the past several weeks. The software is called "ransomware," as it encrypts the files on infected computers so users can't access them. When someone tries to open a file on a computer infected with this malware, they are alerted that they must pay $300 for their files to be unencrypted so they can access them. Deleting the malware or refusing to pay the ransom will leave their files encrypted. Spiceworks has a great overview of the issue.
As your trusted partner in data protection, we at Carbonite want to ensure that our customers are aware of these threats and know how to prevent them from infecting their computers and servers. Here are some tips that can help you avoid malware and other types of viruses:
These are just a few tips that can help you avoid the headaches and other negative effects of malware. Safe (internet) surfing!
The end of August sure crept up on us! We can't believe it's already time to head back to school! As you fill the backpacks with new laptops, tablets and smartphones, keep these back-to-school tech tips in mind. They take less than 10 minutes, but can save your family hours and dollars down the road:
Cloud Backup: Backing up to the cloud protects your important files so you can get them back if your computer crashes or is stolen, and with our mobile app files are accessible from the dorm, the campus library and on the go!
Virus Protection: While back-to-school virus protection generally consists of stocking up on tissues and hand sanitizer, the threat of computer viruses shouldn't be ignored. Millions of computer viruses can allow someone to access your data, collect billing information or take control of your computer. These bugs can also slow down your computer and interfere with your programs.
Password Protocol: With many schools relaxing their technology policies, and allowing students to bring devices to school, it's important to make sure your students gadgets are password protected!
Mobile Data Usage: On-the-go internet allows students to remotely access files, quickly look up a fact for a history paper and connect with friends, but checking the data charges on your bill could be enough to send you to the school nurse! Make sure your mobile data plan fits your family's needs, and don't forget that connecting to Wi-Fi can help you avoid overage fees.
How do you prep for #back2school? Tweet us at @Carbonite to share your tips!
We can't believe August is already well underway! As the summer dwindles down and back-to-school preparations commence, take a few minutes before things start getting really crazy to set yourself – or your student – up for success!
With cloud backup, valuable data is protected and accessible from anywhere! That means you can scroll through your backup via your smartphone to access the notes for your big presentation. Or, if your high schooler is begging you to race to their homeroom with the term paper that is sitting on your kitchen table, you can gently remind them that all they have to do is log in to Carbonite from the computer lab and print off another copy.
Sound good? It is! And to make it even better, we have a bunch of great tips to help get you started with Carbonite:
Summer is always a busy time for the Carbonite crew! While our Reseller team is down in Orlando for CompTIA's ChannleCon, the PR team – and Captain Carbonite – just returned from this year's amazing BlogHer conference in Chicago!
From tech writers to crafty couponers to multi-tasking moms, we had the opportunity to chat with some amazing conference attendees at our cloud lounge, where they were able to relax, recharge and regroup.
We loved having the chance to educate an eager audience about backup. And it was so cool for us to hear firsthand how Carbonite had saved people's business documents, family photos and even manuscripts!
No one was more excited to hear about data disasters averted than Captain Carbonite.
But we also heard some sad stories about baby pictures lost in a hard drive crash and power surges that deleted months of edits to files that weren't backed up. To avoid hearing these tragic tales next year, we gave a complimentary year of Carbonite Home backup to each attendee who visited the cloud lounge!
We can't wait to follow-up with everyone who dropped a card, or snagged a backup subscription! We're definitely looking forward to hearing more stories about how the cloud saved the day – and the data.
There were so many awesome keynotes, breakouts, booths and parties! If you didn't have a chance to make it to the cloud lounge we'd still love to hear from you!
At Carbonite, we are always looking to wring out cost and complexity from the backup process. Carbonite pioneered simple-to-use and low cost backups for computers, and today we backup laptops, desktops, NAS devices, external hard drives, servers and mobile devices for our 1.5+ million customers. Now, we are bringing simplicity and low-cost to server and database backups as well. With the release of Carbonite Enhanced Server Backup, we are reducing the cost and complexity of server and database backups by an order of magnitude.
With databases always top of mind for small businesses, let's see what that looks like with our new offering…
A Blurry Image Won't Do: Consistent Backup Matters
Taking a snapshot of things that are moving (like your kids running around) is tricky. Your camera contains a lot of sophisticated technology to focus and take a sharp image and turn it into a single JPG file. So, we can simply pickup that file at the file system level, and move it to our cloud storage. When you recover a JPG file, you get the same sharp picture you snapped.
Like your kids running around, databases are always in motion too. Databases represent active data on your servers. Unlike a photo that is just a single file; databases are represented by multiple files and processes that are working together. Taking a file level backup of this data can easily result in a backed up image that does not represent your database at any one particular point-in-time. You may have some records that are partially written out to disk and partially in memory; so multiple files representing the database may not agree with each other in the backup image. Recovering your database from such a blurry image can result in unacceptable results for your business. You need special software to prepare the database and then take its snapshot at a particular point-in-time, i.e., a consistent backup, from which the database can be accurately restored.
Carbonite Enhanced Server Backup ensures consistent backups of your databases. We take a sharp snapshot of your database at the time a backup r

By Amy LangeFox 2 NewsSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- "A license to discriminate," said Gregory Varnum with Equality Michigan.He is incredulous at what he claims is legislation currently coming before the state House that allows faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against gays, lesbians and really anybody."It would allow adoption agencies to come up with almost any criteria they want and just argue, well, we just don't like you. You know, you're perfectly qualified to take care of this child. Nothing about you is bad. We just don't like your political ideology, so we're going to deny this adoption and keep this child in foster care longer," Varnum said.14,000 children are in state foster care according to the Department of Human Services. About 3,000 are available for adoption.House bills 5763 and 5764 have made it through committee and could come up for a vote at any time despite testimony from same sex adoptive families urging legislators to vote it down."Shouldn't matter what their sexual orientation is, we need families for these kids. There (are) a lot of kids. There (are) 14,000 some kids in the State of Michigan in foster care, and we need these families," said Kathleen Nelson, who founded the Hands Across the Water adoption agency in Ann Arbor 14 years ago. She works extensively with same sex couples.No so with some other agencies. The Michigan Catholic Conference, for example, supports this legislation. They say it allows their faith-based adoption agencies to place these children according to their mission.The Department of Human Services says they're trying to work with their private partner agencies. The problem is those private partners get taxpayer dollars to place these children in loving homes."They're receiving government funds for these services, so they're using taxpayer dollars to deny people adoptions," said Varnum.That, critics say, doesn't seem to be in anybody's best interest."To deny any capable, loving family access to these children is in no one's interest. It's not in the adoption's agency's interest. It's certainly not in the child's interest, and it's not in the family's interest, which means it's not in the state's interest," Varnum said.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Women's Australian Sheepskin Booties …
"I have been hunting for slippers for a while now, to replace a pair I had similar to this for about 10 years. These just arrived today (only ordered them three days ago, and two of those days were weekends). They are terrific! Extremely sturdy and well-made, and I will have no concerns about wearing them outside for a brief task. I usually wear an 8 1/2, and I ordered the 8, since slippers do tend to stretch a bit, and that was a perfect fit! I couldn't be happier! It is so hard to find this kind of slipper for women - thank you so much, Vermont Country Store!" - Rebecca Mclane, Tuscon, AZ

ATLANTA (RNN) – One is a tournament favorite and the top overall seed. Another few thought would be there. A third got to this point on the strength of its offense. The other made its mark with defense.
All four took different paths lined with varying expectations through the field of 68 NCAA tournament teams. Now, the ones left standing have the same mindset entering Saturday's contests: Nothing less than the national championship.
In the night's opening game, Wichita State continues its unexpected run against the tournament's top-rated team, the Louisville Cardinals. The Shockers have dominated opponents with physical defense and rebounding nearly every minute since their opening game.
Senior Malcolm Armstead spoke of his respect for the Cardinals' high-intensity, full-court defense they face.
"They are good at what they do," he said Friday. "They have one of the best coaches in the country in Rick Pitino. You know he's a great coach; he's going to have them prepared well for the game.
"But you know pressure busts pipes, but it also makes diamonds at the same time."
Wichita State is seen as the party crasher of the Final Four, as the only team from a conference outside the "Big 6." If they win the championship, they would be the lowest seed to do so in the tournament's history.
Senior Carl Hall said their coach, Gregg Marshall, has kept them from celebrating each win. Instead, they keep their sights on the upcoming adversary.
"We're trying to move on to the next game," Hall said. "We're not satisfied until we win the championship, so that's been everyone's focus. I've been telling my teammates to stay focused and to just enjoy this and take advantage of this opportunity."
Kevin Ware's injury was a dark moment in an otherwise enlightened journey through the tournament for Louisville so far. But with the sophomore guard expected to make a full recovery from his compound fracture, and with him on the sidelines for the game, the team has the chance to rally around him and "rise to the occasion."
Junior Luke Hancock talked Friday about being by his teammate's side following the gruesome incident, and the bond between them.
"We're brothers for life," Hancock said. "I have that guy's back in any situation. I know he has mine. You know, I don't really know why I went out there, but you know I just didn't want him to be alone out there. Definitely we're close now, and we were close before. It's definitely brought the team together, though.
Following the first half when Ware went down, the shorthanded Cardinals outscored Duke 50-31 in the second to win in assertive fashion to make it to the Georgia Dome.
The team is largely intact from the one that made a somewhat surprising run to the Final Four in 2012 as a No. 4 seed. Guard Peyton Siva said they remained hungry this season, still playing with an edge.
"Our whole mindset was that we had to stay together, we had to play with that chip and that we believe in each other, no matter what anybody else says," he said. "Come together as a team and win. Just like last year, we're trying to win this year. That's pretty much it."
The Syracuse Orange (30-9) players appear confident in their ability to stifle the competition. It's a well deserved feeling – it became the first team in the shot clock era to hold three of its tournament opponents to 50 points or fewer.
"We do a great job of making people take tough shots," forward James Southerland said. "I know Michigan is a young team, we're a little older, so we're going to definitely try and play a little smarter.
"I feel if we go out there and stop them early, make them take tough shots and limit them from second-chance opportunities, we'll be fine."
Coach Jim Boeheim's crew has superior length against nearly any other team and uses it to prevent passing lanes from opening. It will be that way again facing the Wolverines, in particular with Orange point guard Michael Carter-Williams (6'6") head-to-head with Michigan's Trey Burke (6'0").
"I think [I can post him up]," Carter-Williams said. "I can try to take him to the basket and get on the block a little bit. I'm a lot taller than he is."
Burke has been the center of attention in the week leading up to the semifinals. The sophomore won the Associated Press, John Wooden and Oscar Robertson player of the year awards after Michigan averaged nearly 79 points a game through its four tourney contests.
"[The awards are] great accomplishments, but my teammates and coaching staff, they put me in this position," he said. "I wouldn't have been able to win those awards without them. I wouldn't even be in that talk."
During practice Friday, the Wolverines took shots as staff held up pads to block their view, preparing for the long Syracuse arms that will be contesting them. But Burke and teammate Tim Hardaway Jr. agreed they couldn't settle for outside attempts all night.
"I think you just have to be patient with it," Hardaway said. "You can't rush anything, and you can't match their length when you are practicing against your scout team. Take great team shots and don't pass good looks for better looks because you might not get those."

If you're a fan of the original Star Trek and not playing Star Trek Online , now is a great time to start! I'll explain in a moment.
Star Trek Online takes place in the original Trek universe, not the alternate timeline from the J.J. Abrams' films. It is the early 25th Century, a few years after the devastating nova that obliterated Romulus.
The latest season is titled "A New Accord" . The Federation, Klingon Empire and New Romulan Republic must unite forces to defeat the mysterious Undine. Fans of Star Trek: Voyager will remember the Undine as Species 8472.
In the season's first episode, "Surface Tension" , the Undine have engaged in a massive attack against Earth Spacedock. Admiral Tuvok, voiced by original Voyager actor Tim Russ, orders you and your crew to repel the attack and rescue Starfleet Chief Admiral Quinn.
Rescuing Quinn is easier said than done. Spacedock is in ruins and the shape-shifting Undine are aboard and masquerading as Starfleet personnel. The good news is that Admiral Tuvok and the U.S.S. Voyager are there to assist. The newest U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-F, is also there to help!
Unfortunately, the attack against Spacedock turns out to be a diversion. Is it too late to prevent the Undine from destroying their true target? You'll have to play to find out, as I'll offer no spoilers here.
The scope of the season is impressive, the story telling very engaging, and the action is often fierce. New graphics and improved game play make this season a winner!
Cryptic Studios, the developer of STO, unveiled some big changes in game play to coincide with the new season. They've updated graphics in a number of the older missions. There are also major changes to kits and the game's reputation system that have some long-time players up in arms.
Like many other role playing games, Star Trek Online offers players additional character abilities and traits during game play. In the past, these traits simply stacked up one after another. Long time players accumulated such a massive amount of traits that they started becoming invincible. Newbie players were finding themselves vastly outmatched.
Under the new reputation system, players are limited to the number of traits they may use at any one time. Now players can assign and change their character, space and ground traits based on mission. For instance, you would slot "space" traits for starship combat and specific "ground" traits for planetary missions.
I think the new reputation system really levels the playing the field. Long time players will still have more traits from which to choose, but they can no longer overwhelm opponents simply due to longevity in the game. Skill now becomes more important than the sheer accumulation of traits. There's never been a better time for new players to join the game!
Cryptic also gave the Earth Spacedock interior a complete overhaul. ESD is an important hub since it offers a variety of services, costumes and equipment for Federation players.The newly redesigned Spacedock interior is much grander in scope and realism than its predecessor. It's more expansive, far easier to navigate, and looks far more like an actual Star Trek movie set.
I've been playing Star Trek Online for over a year now. I absolutely love it. It is incredibly complex and rich in detail. Players can participate in ground or space combat. There are non-combat missions. You can assign your crew to duty missions that occur in real-time, meaning they're off accumulating dilithium or credits for you even when you're logged out of the game.
There are nine seasons of missions available for play, as well as a number of stand alone missions offering dilithium and energy credits, as well as XP and commendation points. There are Special Task Force missions featuring multi-player coop. There are PvP missions pitting player against player. You can challenge other players directly within the game. You can join a fleet and purchase superior equipment not available elsewhere in the game.
You've got the entire Star Trek universe to explore...from the Alpha to the Delta Quadrant and everything in between, including Borg space and the Dyson sphere. You can engage enemies you encounter during space travels or explore alien planets. How about a vacation on Risa?
You can own and command multiple starships, past and present. Walk among your crew in the the interior of your starship. Take your seat on the bridge and explore your ready room, personal quarters, Engineering and more. Maybe you'd prefer to roam the halls of Space Station K7 with dozens of other online players bustling around you? How about a game of Dabo in Quark's Bar aboard Deep Space Nine?
If you wish, you can choose to play as a Klingon warrior or a Romulan centurion, each with its own set of unique missions. Players are allowed up to three characters in game.
Suffice it to say there's enough in Star Trek Online to keep you busy for years.
And did I mention the game is free?
You'll find me most often in command of my flagship, a retrofit of an Excelsior-class transwarp command cruiser, U.S.S Fearless. She's an overworked, under-powered vessel, always on the verge of flying apart at the seams. But she's one of the most versatile ships in the game. I've upgraded her systems and weapons so that she packs a wallop!
See you around the galaxy!

Pete Townsend Exhausted From Writing New Memoir
Saturday, October 6, 2012
Pete Townshend feels exhausted after finishing his new autobiography, Who I Am, which will be released on Monday (October 8th). The tome, which chronicles Townshend's early life, which included sexual abuse and a temporary abandonment by his parents, also goes into detail about his life both with and without the Who. When asked how he feels to have finally completed the memoir, Townshend told The Sun, "I feel sick. It's very strange. If you've run a marathon, you expect to feel 'Yay!' But I feel depleted and concerned. I don't want somebody to be hurt through what I've written but, on the other hand, I want it to be true. I'm a little bit harder on people if they're dead than alive but I feel as if I'm waiting for responses."
He went on to say: "I'm very aware that even if I write about Keith Moon -- the good, the bad and the indifferent -- he's got a troubled daughter and I don't want her to feel bad."
Pete Townshend told us that although the intellectual aspects of music are important, music's main purpose is to soothe and entertain: "Fashion, ideas, style and politics and all this stuff is okay, but what's the function of music in the modern world? It is to divide up time and give us a brief respite from the troubles of our day."
Townshend says that as an artist, both in the past and today, he depends as strongly on his audience as they do on him: "It's not that it's exalted. It's not that it's higher, it's not that I'm looking down at the world and I can observe from on high. It is that as an artist, you have a unique ability to stand away from society and trust that your audience will give you what you need to make your next piece of work."

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
It is not clear who first introduced the cage crinoline although its invention has been attributed to the English couturier Charles Frederick Worth working in Paris. His most prestigious client, the Empress Eugenie, is said to have worn one on a visit to Queen Victoria in 1855, and it is recorded that Queen Victoria pronounced them to be "indelicate", refusing to wear one. Surviving photographs of Victoria suggest otherwise however, and certainly, the crinoline was an undersupport worn universally by women throughout society in the later 1850s and early 1860s.
Cage crinoline petticoats were made of narrow parallel bands of metal, often watch spring, fixed in a bell-shaped structure with tapes or fabric. The metal frame was far lighter to wear than several layers of cotton petticoats and still created a full rounded silhouette. However it was difficult to manage without having accidents when doing housework, travelling, or coping with the weather, and it provided rich amunition for lampoons in magazines like Punch, with cartoonists poking fun at its impracticality and clumsiness.

Ramsar Advisory Mission to Chilika Lake, India. Some time ago, the Ministry of Environment and Forest of India informed the Ramsar Bureau of the work that has been done for the improvement of the ecological condition of the Chilika Lake Ramsar site and initiated the process for removing this site from the Montreux Record, the list of Ramsar sites where change in ecological character has occurred, is occurring, or is likely to occur as a result of human interference. (Chilika Lake was designated for the Ramsar List in 1981 and added to the Montreux Record in 1993.) With the advice of the Convention's Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), an advisory team consisting of Najam Khurshid, Ramsar Regional Coordinator for Asia; Dr Max Finlayson of Australia's Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (eriss) and a member of the STRP; and Dr Sidharth Kaul of India's Ministry of Environment and Forest, will visit the site, 11-14 December, to review the improved conditions and management of influencing factors reported by the Ministry. Whilst there, they will make a comparative analysis of the site with those ecological conditions mentioned at the time of inclusion into Montreux Record through direct observation, interviews with different stakeholders, available data, and discussion with the implementing agencies.

Technical Assistance mission to Tanzania. Regional Coordinator Anada Tiéga is presently in Tanzania, 12-18 December, in response to a request for technical assistance from the National Wetland Working Group. The Working Group is the first arrangement that has been set up in order to initiate and develop a permanent mechanism for the coordination of the implementation of the Convention at national and subregional level, with the assistance of the IUCN Regional Office for East Africa. The United Republic of Tanzania acceded to the Ramsar Convention on 13 August 2000 and a number of significant initiatives are under way, including outlook on wetland inventories, Ramsar site designation and management, and policy development. The visit will cover the following items: essential information on the Ramsar Convention with a focus on key areas of work; wetland inventory; wetland policy and legislation; Ramsar site designation; Ramsar site management; subregional cooperation and communication. The visit includes discussion with the Group on the first day and field trips to five areas as well as the first Ramsar site, where the ongoing management planning process will be discussed with major stakeholders. Potential Ramsar sites will also be discussed on the ground. [11/12/01]
New bilingual Web site on wetlands is created in China. Recently a new bilingual (Chinese and English) Web site on wetlands is open in China. This Web site is managed by Wetlands International – China with the aim at promoting public awareness of wetlands value and functions in China and letting overseas readers know about development and problem of wetlands in China. At present the Web site is still at trial basis with relatively simple contents. It is believed that with experience gained it will become a good window for both Chinese and foreign readers. Chinese readers may through this window may gain wetland knowledge and its new development trends in the world, and foreign readers may through this window get to learn more of the development of wetland causes in China. Wetlands International – China is sincerely hoping that our readers show more care for and extend their support to this new bilingual Web site. Their comments and suggestions are most welcome (email@example.com). Please click www.wetwonder.org. (Reported by Li Lukang, WI-China). [11/12/01]
MedWet Coordination Unit opened in Athens. MedWet is a coordination mechanism for wetland activities in the Mediterranean Basin and owes its origins to an international conference organized by Wetlands International (then IWRB) in Grado, Italy, in February 1991. The MedWet1 project (1992-1996), funded by the European Union, began building the collaborative MedWet network and developed regional methods and tools; MedWet2 extended the initiative throughout the Mediterranean Basin. In 1999 MedWet became a formal inter-regional structure for the implementation of the Ramsar Convention and serves as a model for regional wetland cooperative structures elsewhere. A MedWet Committee was established by Ramsar Resolution VII.22, and a MedWet Coordination Unit was established to keep things rolling along more or less merrily and maintain sanity amongst the Ramsar Bureau, the Unit itself, and the three technical support institutions (EKBY in Greece, Tour du Valat in France, and SEHUMED in Spain). On 21 November, ceremonies in Athens, Greece, inaugurated the new home of the Coordination Unit now based in Greece's National Center for the Environment and Sustainable Development in the newly renovated -- dare we say it -- palaceof Villa Kazouli! The Convention's MedWet Coordinator, Spyros Kouvelis, and Policy Advisor, Nejib Benessaiah, in addition to two support personnel to be seconded from EKBY, and the premises themselves, are being fully funded for two years by the Government of Greece and are considered to be outposted staff of the Ramsar Bureau in Gland.
At this time we place before you, first, a little more background on the MedWet Initiative, some photos of Villa Kazouli to make you look resentfully at the cubicles and removable partitions of your own little workplace, and the text of the Secretary General's inspiring remarks at the inauguration ceremonies on 21 November, in which many paragraphs begin "I would also like to express my thanks to...."

We have some great farmer's markets here, too, but it sounds like the one in Tahoe may be worth a peek sometime. Despite the cost of fuel, we still like to venture out. Went to Oregon quite literally on the spur of the moment a few weeks ago, and I think we'll be heading up there again soon.

Evening ReadingI'm pretty sure I'd like the Titan Quest expansion already. I had much more fun with that game than I had anticipated trying out different character builds etc. I'd like you guys to consider these:
- The cyberwar is coming!
- Even a 'small' nuke war could change the world? Who knew?
- Drink up!
- WiFi is killing you
- China loves gamers
Lastly, broadband is apparently popular in America. (more)

Dear Lauri,
I was on a boat tour in the jungle. It was a canal with trees hanging overhead. They told us about these really venomous snakes in the trees, and almost immediately, one fell on me and bit me. It happened two or three more times, and even though the boat was full they only bit ME. The bites turned into these giant cysts. I started squeezing one on my hand and squirting my dad with what was inside. After that I was in a really cold setting and kept jumping in this pool even though I could get hypothermia. But I swear it was helping the bites heal. – Teresa 25, Fort Wayne, IN
Lauri: Is there a man in your life that has been poisonous to you? Perhaps striking at you with biting criticism or other poisonous behavior? And is it someone in your family? Someone who is "above" you like an older brother or... your dad? I ask because trees in dreams tend to represent family and snakes tend to represent men with low down, poisonous behavior. The cold setting tells us that things have become very icy between the two of you. It seems that you have to continually keep yourself cold and uncaring towards him so that the emotional wounds he inflicts upon you don't get too deeply under your skin. It's a shame that is the situation but your dream is letting you know that it is working for you.
Teresa Replies: This makes perfect sense, actually. My father is a condescending jerk and last night was being just that. I got into a little tizzy with him and finally just left the room because there's no arguing with him. This isn't anything new and the cold feelings have been there for quite a long time.
