May be it is because the Arabic Spring and the wave in the developed countries raised too much the hopes for change followed by disillusions. May be it was (like the big wave in Israel that mobilized about 10% of the population) a kind of releasing pressure valve... The struggle still continue, but the number of participants diminished and the moral of those who continue is not high. The smaller flame of hope for a radical change in our tortured home land is nourished by the change in the imperial power balance, the gradual withdrawal of the US from the region and the increasing pressure for change by Europe with the B.D.S. at its front. But, the joint struggle continue, and the gradual bunt out of many of the old timer activists of the anarchists against the wall is partly replaced by the new wave of total refusnics of mandatory military service for high school graduates and the activists of the anarchist-communist Ahdut.

Dogmatism is a manifestation of theoretical and/or ideological deficiencies, such as idealism (metaphysics), sectarianism, elitism or followership. Its a significant obstacle to working class emancipation, which we must identify and comprehend in order to combat it. There are several variants and expressions, including:

The joint struggle continues; even many activists have been "burned out" while waiting for short-term gains and victories. The advances in the international arena are paradoxically reducing the flame of most people in spite of the increase in suppression efforts by the anxious settlers and the Israeli authorities. The hard core of the activists continue their struggle in spite of the increased suppression, encouraged by every small success, by every tear grenade returned to the harassers, by every failure to cut a demonstration short. Bil'in, Ni'lin, Nabi Saleh, Ma'sara, the South Hebron Hills, and Sheikh Jarrah continue the weekly demonstrations in a stubborn mood of "tsumud" (persistence) - the long, long refusal to yield to the expulsion-transfer of the Zionist settler project.

The political negotiations intended to prevent the involvement of international forums by the Palestinian ruling elite do not stop the joint struggle of popular movement which invigorate the B.D.S. efforts and the local non armed struggle. The increased suppression of the struggling communities and the transfer efforts in a choice location do not extinguish the flames of struggle and the persistent of the "Tsumud". Night raids in Ni'ilin, Bil'in, Nabi Saleh, and Qaddum, and arrests increase. The threats of dispersing the Friday demos with live ammunition towards the stone throwing Shabab is expressed from time to time by shots at youth legs. In Bil'in, the members of the Israeli anarcho-communist organization start to fill the gap resulted from the diminishing participation of the anarchists against the wall initiative. Our black and redNblack flags are accepted in a friendly mode. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

Picket lines have returned to Insomnia Cookies, less than two weeks after the company settled with four workers who struck in August of 2013. On Friday March 14, two dozen union members and supporters rallied in front of the Boston location of Insomnia Cookies, demanding the reinstatement with back pay of union organizer and bicycle delivery driver, Tasia Edmonds. On March 9 the company suspended Edmonds without pay for a month, alleging insubordination, while the union maintains she was disciplined for her union-building efforts. read full story / add a comment

The emergence of the B.D.S. finds its expressions in both the Israeli media, the ruling elite, and the medium level of the capitalists. The harassment of the Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, and Qaddum is not applied to Bil'in which is in the focus of international attention. It seems the state forces got specific orders to be much more "lenient" even with the stones throwing Shabab. Lot of the Israeli activists lost their persistence as the development on the ground is not expanding and the advance of the B.D.S. is too abstract for them. For many Israeli and the Palestinian activists the big picture is not clear enough and they do not feel that we are winning. They do not really feel the satisfaction from the fact that our joint struggle is the important leaning point the lever of the B.D.S. need for its success. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment
Palestine-Israel The imminent crash of belligerent Zionism push the elite to desperate acceleration*
mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Tuesday March 04, 2014 02:11 byIlan S.
The acceleration of the B.D.S. and international pressure to yield a bit cause near panic in the more ideological Zionist elite. Their response is the acceleration of suppression of the Palestinians and efforts to transfer them from key areas that the die hards dream of holding for ever. The Israeli state force back the irregular settlers and initiate lot of action itself. The harassment of the Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, and Qaddum who are not in the focus of international media is more vicious than ever. Bil'in, that earned international fame and attention of media, got partial immunity. The chanting of the demonstrators expressed the real opinion on the two states pseudo solution: "free free Palestine from the river to the sea". The "no state redNblack flags" which the anarchist-communist Ahdut members hold high in Bil'in demos are accepted without any reservation. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The Israeli media is nearly obsessed with the escalation of the B.D.S. as if they know things they do not disclose. Both supporters and rejectors of the end of the occupation start to regard it as immanent and not in the far future. A section of the Israeli capitalist elite which is suffering from the boycott and fear its escalation start to organize to accelerate the end of occupation. 100 of them traveled for the Davos conference and official organization was established. On the ground, it seems that the efforts of the Israeli state forces escalate their repression of on going struggles and make more efforts to transfer villagers from strategic locations. Bil'in will celebrate the ninth anniversary of the ongoing struggle on the 28th of February. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment
russia / ukraine / belarus / miscellaneous / press release Friday February 14, 2014 04:08 byIlan S.
The Ukraine is in the throes of a popular uprising, against its regime, which is becoming ever more repressive. Much of the mainstream media presents the image of a confrontation taking place between the two statist political factions in Ukraine: The governing coalition, led by President Yanukovich, which has recently backed away from a trade agreement with the EU, and is developing a close subservient relationship with Russia; and the smaller nationalist opposition, headed by the parties called the Blow, Homeland and Freedom, opposing this development and seeking to attach Ukraine more strongly to the EU. ---- This image is far from representing reality. The nationalist opposition is attempting to ride the wave of popular protest, which has broken out due to measures taken by the Ukrainian state. read full story / add a comment
mashriq / arabia / iraq / community struggles / news report Tuesday February 04, 2014 22:04 byIlan S.
At the beginning, the joint struggle was focused on specific routes of the separation fence. There were some achievements and many villages dropped from the regular struggle. The hope for a wide spread popular struggle was not fulfilled, but additional struggles were initiated and the struggles networked with sporadic joint actions. Lately the network of joint popular struggles started regular actions - the Ein Hijleh is the second one. The continued struggle draw the international attention and give essential base to the B.D.S. The persistent struggle saw seeds in the subterranean ferment that may sprout without a warning in the appropriate conditions. The persistence and the approaching avalanche of the B.D.S. energize the more far sighted activists. The joint struggle in Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Ma'asara, Nebi Saleh, Shikh Jarrah, Quaddum, and South of Hebron Hills keep going and hold the flag of struggle high. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The Israeli media is ongoing reporting on the Israeli elite of the boycott on Israel that not only became significant economically and politically but also just two steps from avalanche. Lot of activists who do not understand that the battle will not be resolved here but in the international area lost heart as the immediate gains are small. They do not understand that the local struggle is the Archimedes point the lever of the B.D.S. is leaning on. So, the joint struggle continue. The international activists who come here carry the struggle in their countries when they return home. Whether understanding the importance of the joint struggle or not, hundred Israelis, and hundreds of Palestinians are every weekend in Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Ma'asara, Nebi Saleh, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrakh, South of Hebron Hills, and sporadically in other locations too.

The clash that has lately been going on in Ramalla between the Palestinian Authority police and strikers' demonstration of employees of the United Nations agency stresses it again: the activists of the Anarchists Against the Wall initiative and many of the internationals and even many Palestinians are joining the struggle against the occupation and the settler project period. The expectations from a Palestinian state are low and marginal, and very few have any illusions about the expected freedom in the "free Palestine" they chant. The intensifying international pressure on Israel brings hesitant hopes about the nearing changes in the region. And the joint struggle continues in Bil'in, Ni'lin, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, Ma'sara, Sheikh Jarrah, and the South Hebron Hills, with hesitant contemplations of joining from other villages.

Since nearly three years that an uprising broke out in Syria (as a local materialization of the upheavals shaking the whole regions of Maghreb and Mashreq) most of the reactions, comments and critics from militant structures which claim to be revolutionary, internationalist, communist, anarchist go in the same direction: doubts about what happens, doubts about essential material determinations that give birth to the movements that develop in front of our eyes, doubts about the class nature of these events, doubts about the potentially subversive content of struggles of our class when it doesnt wave the good flags, etc. [Português] [Français] [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The change in the political climate in the region combined with the diminishing importance of the middle east oil resources, and the awareness of the world public opinion about the struggle against occupation of the 1967 war, start to have fruits.The first results of the boycott movement worry the Israeli elite. The news in the world media about the joint struggle and the many thousands of international activists which participate in it contribute a significant share. The organized grass root popular comities contribute it share to the political arena of the Palestinian west bank. In spite Israeli state forces harassment the weekly confrontations of Palestinian grass root popular comities and activists with Israeli activists with the anarchists against the wall, international supporters and Palestinian activists from the region, continue.

This week the focus of struggle enlarged a bit to include the ugly racist politics of the Israeli naZionist establishment regarding the refugees. The same strategy of sporadic vicious attacks to the background of ongoing harassment and pressure to get out applied to the Palestinians within the 1968 borders and the new 1967 ones is also being applied to the 53 thousand African refugees. The racism inbuilt in the Zionist settler colonialism which built Israel and expands it at every opportunity is only refraining from harsher measures because of international pressure. Though Israel never adopted international conventions (with the support of the overwhelming majority of its Jewish community), it did refrain from prolonged defiance of them. Thus, it did not kill the refugees freely on the border. It just made them as miserable as it can and put increasing numbers into concentration camps. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

The unprecedentedly prolonged pre-trial detention of those involved with the Hura demo against the transfer of the Bedouins - including a Jew - may be in revenge for the dropping of the Praver transfer law, or a sign of an entirely new mode of suppressing dissent from the left. The state force pressures on the Palestinians involved in the joint struggle is escalating. The new front of conflicts between the state and the African refugees is escalating. The failure of the state to comply with the law passed against building concentration camps for refugees has ignited resistance from the refugees, culminating in a demo by a few thousand people on late Saturday evening in the commercial part of Tel Aviv, which a few hundred Israeli activists joined. The "electricity in the air" seemed to promise that the 50 thousand refugees are not going to take it passively any more. Israel may be forced to comply with the international refugees conventions.

In spite of the unusual cold whether and snow, Friday demonstrations against the occupation and suppression and settlers infringements continued. Israelis failed to arrive to Qaddum but were there morally, Ni'ilin, and Bil'in were easier to arrive and so was Sheikh Jarakh where activists from the west Jerusalem waded the heavy snow. The struggle of the Bedouins and supporters against their transfer caused the freezing of the Prawer plan law continue focused on the efforts to release the 13 demonstrators in Hura two weeks ago still not released from jail. The struggle against the concentration camps for the African refugees took a turning point when about 150 of them defied the cold whether and started a 200 kilometer march to the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalem with activists make efforts to give logistic support.

international / anarchist movement / debate Thursday December 12, 2013 19:18 byLucien van der Walt
Examining the theory and practice of mass anarchism and syndicalism, this paper argues against Daryl Glasers views that workers council democracy fails basic democratic benchmarks and that, envisaged as a simple instrument of a revolution imagined in utopian year zero terms, it will probably collapse or end in Stalinist authoritarianismGlaser also argues instead for parliaments, supplemented by participatory experiments. While agreeing with Glaser on the necessity of a democratic minimum of pluralism, rights, and open-ended outcomes, I demonstrate, in contrast, that this minimum is perfectly compatible with bottom-up council democracy and self-management, as envisaged in anarchist/syndicalist theory, and as implemented by anarchist revolutions in Manchuria, Spain and Ukraine. This approach seeks to maximise individual freedom through an egalitarian, democratic, participatory order, developed as both means and outcome of revolution; it consistently insists that attempts to save revolutions by suspending freedoms, instead destroy both. Parliament, again in contrast to Glaser, from this perspective, meets no democratic minimum, being part of the state, a centralized, unaccountable institutional nexus essential to domination and exploitation by a ruling class of state managers and capitalists. Rather than participate in parliaments, mass anarchism argues for popular class autonomy from, and struggle against, the existing order as a means of winning economic and political reforms whileavoiding year zero thinkingalso building the new society, within and against, the old, through a prefigurative project of revolutionary counter-power and counter-culture. Revolution here means the complete expansion of a bottom-up democracy, built through a class struggle for economic and social equality, and requiring the defeat of the ruling class, which is itself the outcome of widespread, free acceptance of anarchism, and of a pluralistic council democracy and self-management system. read full story / add a comment

The joint struggle of the anarchists against the wall with popular comities of the villages which persist in weekly struggles was promoted first time when a joint comity was organized and sporadic joint actions were organized by it. This month another promotion was done and a monthly convergence of all the activists involved - this time in Nabi Saleh was done. This week, the intensifying of the Israeli transfer efforts of Palestinians and the struggle against it was focused this week on the Praver plan to transfer in one step 40,000 Bedouins within the 1948 border. There were demonstration in various location in Israel picking in the more than thousands participant in Hura at the Bedouin region. The social struggle within israel which was al along the last two years in very low intensity seems to collect some momentum. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

03/20/2009 - Election reform swept the country in the early 1900s. One by one, states adopted primaries that bypassed party bosses and smoke-filled rooms, enabling voters for the first time to choose their own delegates to presidential conventions.With popular interest growing, states began to document elections by publishing volumes of data, including statistics on turnout and election returns.In the decades that followed, however, many of the changes instituted by the good-government reformers of the Progressive Era unraveled; the primary system faded away, partly for lack of interest, and did not make a comeback until the 1970s. Other efforts to make voting more transparent and inclusive also made progress slowly. It was not until the presidential election of 1920 that women in all states were allowed to exercise their right of suffrage. And the poll tax, widely used in the South after the turn of the 20th century in combination with other measures to bar blacks and poor whites from voter registration and voting, was finally outlawed with a Constitutional amendment in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.Today, with the right to vote—in primaries as well as general elections—extended to all Americans, those particular struggles are a matter for history. Voting, the most basic right in a democracy, is widely accessible to our citizenry. Yet that very success, along with improved technology, has created new challenges. These are among the many state-based issues that Pew is working hard to address.Through on-the-ground experiments in half the states, we are testing several promising election innovations—from streamlined voter registration processes to online portals that help voters find out whether they are registered and where to vote. The Voter Information Project, a joint effort by Pew, Google Inc., and state and local election officials, is substantially improving states' ability to deliver official voting information via the Internet. And electionline.org, housed on the Pew Center on the States' nonpartisan Web site, is conveying up-to-the-minute news and analysis of election administration to policy makers, election officials, advocates and the public.In the past year, we took a particular interest in one sector of the electorate that has struggled to vote for decades: the nation's military men and women serving overseas. Of the one million ballots mailed to these voters in 2006, only one-third were counted—the equivalent of losing all the voters in the state of Nevada. Working with the Overseas Vote Foundation, Pew supported the creation of new voter-friendly Web applications designed to help the estimated six million members of the uniformed services and other overseas voters negotiate the legal and logistical hurdles they confront when trying to register to vote and cast a ballot in their home states. In 2008, 4.5 million visitors (1.25 million in October alone) took advantage of this new online tool. However, overseas voters still must find their way through a complicated and time-consuming patchwork of state and local regulations, a problem that will be an important focus for Pew this year.Helping states respond to extraordinary fiscal stresses and learn from each other's best practices is also a core component of the work of the Pew Center on the States. Stateline.org, our online state policy news site, reports on daily developments by state governments;Trends to Watch, also online, tracks long-term economic trends and other topics across all 50 states; and upcoming center reports will provide more in-depth analysis of financial issues affecting the states, ranging from their pension fund liabilities to the potential benefit of investments in the green economy.Faced with a $200-billion budget deficit over the next two years, state policy makers are proposing painful cuts in human capital programs, including prekindergarten, which are essential to develop the nation's workforce and ensure long-term economic success. For the past three years, Pew has been working intensively in one sector—corrections—where states can spend less and improve outcomes. The national price tag for corrections is now over $50 billion a year, but the country is not getting an adequate return on this investment. With recidivism rates at nearly the same level of 20 years ago, when states spent far less on incarceration, it is time to focus on more cost-effective alternatives. Pew is assisting several states, including Texas, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Arizona—states led by Republicans and Democrats alike—in taking a hard look at who is going to prison and how long they are staying, and identifying those who can be safely supervised in the community at far lower cost.In recent years, states have made significant gains funding programs, such as high-quality early education, that have been proven to deliver vital, long-term social and economic results. As they navigate the current economic turbulence, the Pew Center on the States is committed to providing the guidance that will help states make wise budget choices—cutting unnecessary spending while creating and preserving programs critical to our nation's future.Susan K.

Environmental Reviews of Trade and Investment Agreements
Environmental reviews are an important means of determining the potential effects of trade and investment agreements on the environment and on our system of regulations. Environmental reviews help the U.S. Government develop appropriate responses to those effects. The review process provides opportunities for public input and is meant to ensure that the public and the government benefit from an open and inclusive process of trade policy development.
The practice of performing environmental reviews of trade agreements began with the 1992 review of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This practice was continued on an ad hoc basis until 1999. In response to growing public interest in formalizing the review process, as well as growing recognition of the value of conducting environmental reviews, Executive Order 13141 (Nov. 1999) required environmental reviews of certain trade agreements, including comprehensive multilateral trade rounds, bilateral or plurilateral free trade agreements, and major new trade liberalization agreements in natural resource sectors. Implementation guidelines published in 2000 supplement this Executive Order.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Ministerial Declaration of 2001, which encouraged that expertise and experience be shared with members wishing to perform environmental reviews at the national level. also illustrated the growing interest in environmental reviews.
The United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) jointly oversee the implementation of environmental reviews. Given its expertise and mandate, EPA plays a crucial role, along with other agencies, in conducting the reviews.
The Office of International and Tribal Affairs (OITA) is responsible for coordinating the EPAs participation in the formation of environmental reviews, but many offices within the Agency contribute to the effort. The EPAs Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) helps with respect to trade and environment issues dealing with sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures and biosafety. The Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) and OPPTS both contribute by identifying potential technical barriers to trade/standards-related measures. The Office of Policy, Economics and Innovation (OPEI) helps specifically with regard to forestry and non-pesticidal agricultural issues, and performs quantatative analyses.

I have been using Micro-Mesh papers for a lot of years now. These are handy as all get out for small repairs and working around the tight curves. Definitely worth the money for the time savings.
These pads are the perfect size for finishing the small areas on your guitar. They also easily conform to curves and are almost indestructible.
working great
I use these all the time for polishing nuts. They're the best!
going from 1500 to 12000 will give you the best fret polishing results you could ever ask for on a guitar! I can polish 3/4 frets at once up the neck and it's certainly quicker than steel wool!
These pads are wonderful. Stiff enough for flat areas and flexible enough for curves. Great price, too.
I find myself grabbing these all the time. Highly recommended.
Wow! The uses for these pads are endless!
Used these tonights after leveling my frets (dry), now my frets have a brilliant sheen.
Inexpensive but a highly recommended kit for finishing,
After doing a bit of fret work on my PRS, I polished up the frets with these pads, working my way through the grits. Before long, the frets were clean, smooth and glowing.
Perfect for touch ups, leveling between coats, and removing any pesky swirl marks.

But with so many priorities, knowing where to focus their energies first is an important part of the job for St. Joseph's. "When it impacts patient safety, that's when an IT solution goes to the top of the list," Cavanagh explains. "When it impacts our ability to become economically sustainable is our next consideration. From there, we pick and choose what will be best for the patient and the organization overall, as we move towards a more patient-driven methodology for healthcare. As a result, we're becoming more proactive about identifying specific conditions and symptoms – rather than trying to react to things down the line."
As an example, Cavanagh points to SJRMC's new medication administration system, which has introduced a highly effective new computerized system of bedside barcoding to the medical center. Patients wear a barcoded wristband that nurses scan along with barcodes on the medication. The computer matches the medication order with the medicine, checks the patient database to ensure the dose is appropriate for the patient, confirms that there are no allergies or other medications that could cause an adverse reaction, and raises alerts if there are any discrepancies. These additional safety checks ensure that medication errors or reactions are minimized.
Successful systems such as the bedside barcodes can only be implemented as the result of ongoing communication between St. Joseph's various personnel, who meet on a regular basis to hone new IT solutions. "We've got a very collaborative environment," confirms Cavanagh. "There are strong partnerships between our physicians, nurses, and ancillary departments (pharmacy, imaging, lab, etc.). St. Joseph's Healthcare System has an active IT steering committee, and our Executive team meets on a weekly basis to stay on top of the priorities and challenges within the system, which allows me to be at the ready when IT solutions are needed."
The ultimate goal is to enable patients to have an informed voice in IT planning, as well. "We see that coming down the line," Cavanagh says. "For example, we're developing a patient portal that streamlines patients' access to their health record information, in much the same way that you can book a flight or manage a trip from any Web-connected device in the world. When patients can access more information online, and more easily, we believe they'll get increasingly engaged in their own care."

UMass Lowell will be home to an Honors College, after a vote by the UMass Board of Trustees.
UMass Lowell moved one step closer to elevating the honors program that has attracted star students such as Koufogazos to a separate Honors College after the UMass Board of Trustees unanimously approved the plan on Wednesday.
The Commonwealth Honors Program celebrated years of success with a benefit event in O'Leary Library.
This year, Prof. Robert Giles and his staff opened UMass Lowell's Haiti Development Studies Center in the port city of Les Cayes, about 200 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.
Two students in UMass Lowell's Commonwealth Honors program — Rachel Paquette and Jillian Giles — are collaborating with Prof. Robert Giles and the Haiti Development Studies Center to provide clean, safe water for residents in Les Cayes.
Commonwealth Honors Program students held a party for prospective students, convincing many high-achieving scholars to choose UMass Lowell.

Fourth Annual Chippewa Challenge Raises Record Funds
Courtesy: Chippewa Athletic Fund
Release: 06/21/2013
Thanks to over 600 golfers and sponsors, the 2013 edition of mid-Michigan's premier early summer outing raised just under $137,000 for CMU student-athletes; eclipsing 2012's net revenue by almost $15,000.
If you golfed in the Chippewa Challenge, be sure to visit CMU Athletics on Facebook where you can tag yourself and view other foursome pictures from the Chippewa Challenge.
The Chippewa Challenge, which will enter its fifth anniversary year in 2014, brings together all 16 CMU varsity programs, letterwinners and the best friends of Chippewa Athletics for a day in celebration of our Championship Culture. The Chippewa Challenge is held at the Mount Pleasant Country Club, Bucks Run and the Pohlcat with an evening program and silent auction at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.
The 432 golfers participating in the Chippewa Challenge got to experience much more than just 18 holes at one of Mount Pleasant's top three courses.
Participants in on-course contests had a chance to take home a 50" TV or an HP Laptop Computer, donated by the CMU Bookstore. Five qualifiers had the chance to putt for $10,000 in cash and three players took a shot at $1 million.
Brian Bukowski made Chippewa Challenge history by sinking the outing's first ever hole-in-one and took home a head-to-toe Travis Mathew signature outfit and $500 online shopping spree courtesy of Graff Chevrolet.
The excitement of the day culminated with the dinner celebration and silent auction at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.
An impressive dinner spread was complimented by silent auctions that featured No. 1 NFL Draft Pick Eric Fisher memorabilia, a presidential suite and concert ticket package at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort and an unforgettable evening of fine food and jazz at the Brass Café featuring a performance by CMU First Lady Elizabeth Ross.
These featured items, along with various memorabilia and other unique CMU game day packages, helped generate over $24,000 for CMU student-athletes; a large part of the record breaking total generated by Chippewa Challenge sponsors and participants.
The Chippewa Challenge has cemented itself as one of the premier summer events in all of mid-Michigan. Its success, however, would not have been possible without support of sponsors like the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters, Quest Software, Quest Towing, Fabiano Brothers and the over 75 other individuals and businesses.
Thanks to all who stepped up and met the Chippewa Challenge in 2013 and we can't wait to see you in 2014!


text: At DailyCandy, we love to see our discoveries "go big," if you will. So lo and behold, the team and I were thrilled to hear that one of our favorite SF boutiques, The Candy Store (which we first covered in 2007 and which I would too often cruise into for a sugar fix when I lived in SF), is part of The Shops at Target concept launching this weekend. The Shops showcase wares from small, stylish boutiques from around the country — giving Russian Hill's classic candy wonderland national exposure. The Candy Store's collection at Target includes giant, retro-inspired lollipops and plastic jars full of nostalgic treats (gumballs, malted milk balls, black licorice shaped like Scotties). What can we say except: Sweet. — Karen, senior editor Photo: Jess Mandia for DailyCandy

|Scientific Name:
|Microcebus murinus
|Species Authority:
|(J.F. Miller, 1777)
Common Name/s:
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Andrainarivo, C., Andriaholinirina, V.N., Feistner, A., Felix, T., Ganzhorn, J., Garbutt, N., Golden, C., Konstant, B., Louis Jr., E., Meyers, D., Mittermeier, R.A., Perieras, A., Princee, F., Rabarivola, J.C., Rakotosamimanana, B., Rasamimanana, H., Ratsimbazafy, J., Raveloarinoro, G., Razafimanantsoa, A., Rumpler, Y., Schwitzer, C., Thalmann, U., Wilmé, L. & Wright, P.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Least Concern as the species is thought to be widespread, common and adaptable, and there are no major threats to the species. However, given the impact of habitat loss within the range of the species, it is likely that the species is currently in decline.
|Range Description:
|This species is distributed from about the Onilahy River along the entire west coast to the north perhaps as far as Ankarafantsika National Park. A disjunct population is also found in the southeast up to the littoral forests of the Mandena Conservation Zone (Mittermeier et al. 2008).
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|M. murinus is adaptable, widespread, and abundant, making it one of the least threatened of Madagascar's lemurs. Recent density estimates range from 167 individuals/km² (Ampijoroa forestry station adjacent Ankarafantsika National Park) to 712 individuals/km² (Kirindy Forest/CFPF), suggesting that this species remains one of Madagascar's most abundant small mammals (Radespiel 2000; Eberle and Kappeler 2001).
|Population Trend:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|M. murinus inhabits lowland tropical dry forest, sub-arid thorn scrub, gallery forest, spiny forest and secondary forest formations. They are also present in plantations. Studies at Ampijoroa also indicate that individuals may take shelter in three to nine different tree holes within their range and remain in a given shelter for several days in succession. Females tend to share nests with several conspecifics, while males tend to sleep alone (Radespiel et al. 1998). After a gestation of approximately 60 days, typically two young are born.
|Major Threat(s):
|There are no major threats to this species. Although M. murinus is reported to inhabit secondary forests and degraded habitats, there is some evidence that decreased habitat quality may have adverse effects on population dynamics. According to Ganzhorn and Schmid (1998), fewer large tree holes in secondary forests result in fewer opportunities to save energy through periods of torpor, and may increase levels of stress and mortality. In the west of the range, habitat is being lost due to yearly burning for slash-and-burn and cattle grazing. There is some limited offtake for the pet-trade, especially in Fort-dauphin.
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is listed on CITES Appendix I. It is present in seven national parks (Andohahela, Ankarafantsika, Baie de Baly, Isalo, Tsingy de Namoroka, Vohibasia, and Zombitse), five special reserves (Andranomena, Bemarivo, Beza-Mahafaly, Kasijy, and Maningoza), the Berenty Private Reserve, and other privately-protected forests within the Mandena Conservation Zone. Also occurs in Kirindy Classified Forest (Mittermeier et al. 2008). According to ISIS (2007), this species is maintained in a number of captive collections in Europe and the United States, the international studbook held by the Duke University Primate Center.

Yes, Jarrod, Apple does have $137.1 billion in liquid assetsMarch 5, 2013: 8:02 AM ET
Another day, another Apple-bashing headline on Seeking Alpha
FORTUNE -- When you write about Apple's (AAPL) finances for a living, your fingers can get tired of typing -- and your readers can get tired of reading -- "cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities" every time you want to refer to the company's hoard of liquid assets.
I try to be precise, but from time to time I spare my fingers -- and my readers -- and rely on the same shorthand used by everyone from CEO Tim Cook to hedge fund billionaire (and Apple litigant) David Einhorn, and I just write "cash."
But a sociologist turned occasional investor and Seeking Alpha contributor named Jarrod Jacinth has taken offense. On Monday he posted a story guaranteed to get the attention of Apple partisans and headline-reading hedge-fund algorithms:
Apple Does Not Have $137 Billion In Cash
I don't believe Jacinth's little exercise in financial pedantry -- or his risible contention that this is a reason Einhorn dropped his suit against Apple -- justifies the calumny heaped on him in the comment stream.
But I did get a kick out of the question someone posted on Investor Village's AAPL Sanity board:
"Does anyone really think that Apple has a Scrooge McDuck Money Vault somewhere in which Tim Cook can swim in $137 billion in cash?"

Hill Center for Women
Welcome to the Hill Center for Women at McLean:
DBT Solutions for Borderline Personality, Trauma, and Related Disorders
Offering Both Partial and Residential Acute Care
The Hill Center for Women at McLean offers psychiatric and psychological services for women with histories of trauma and related disorders, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.
Our staff are experts in applying dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to the treatment of trauma. Intensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) helps women to overcome self-destructive, impulsive behavior and to regulate their emotions. We emphasize empathy, compassion, collaboration and empowerment to help women build new strength and find new resources to regain command of their lives.
The group-based treatment program is designed for women who need more structure and intensive treatment than can be received from an outpatient program. The program offers both short-term residential and partial hospital levels of care.
Who We Serve
Woman from throughout the United States, Canada, and other places in the world come to the Hill Center for treatment. We serve a wide range of women, in acute crisis or in otherwise destabilized situations, who are motivated to work hard in a therapeutic environment that employs dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as the primary intervention.
We aim to provide a safe, supportive, and empathic environment that also challenges women to function at their highest capacity, encouraging empowerment with skills and knowledge, and ultimately increasing their autonomy and a sense of connection and meaning.
Hill Cottage
Although our program is for people in acute situations, those who come to the Hill Center have the ability and willingness to work with us collaboratively and to remain safe, sober, and medically stable while in treatment. This requirement supports the important therapeutic work undertaken by each person and ensures a living and working environment that feels safe to all of our clients. The individuals who do best and go through our treatment program successfully are those who can work collaboratively with others and meet our safety standards and policies.
Individuals with severe psychosis, severe eating disorders or those who are medically unstable will be served best by other McLean programs. Individuals with secondary substance abuse will be considered on an individual basis. We generally require a period of sobriety prior to admission.
For information about the program, please call (617) 855-2595 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

Merryvale's 2009 Chardonnay emerges from the glass with attractive layers of ripe, varietal fruit, melon, smoke and sweet French oak. It is a soft, pretty wine to drink over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.Score: 87. —Antonio Galloni, December 2011.

I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.

If I have a clean plate and then another layer with talent acting in the same exact shot as the clean plate, is there any way for After Effects to remove the background of the shot with the talent? I essentially want to do a green screen without the green screen.
Effect --> Keying --> Difference Matte
You need to use a technique called rotoscoping to separate the subject from the background. You can then put the subject over the clean plate.
Rotoscoping is not an easy or an automatic technique. You'll find valuable information about it here.
This page has some very good links. You should know that AE's Rotobursh tool can not be used intuitively, and that you must look at the training for it that you'll find in the links in the page above.
I know Rotoscoping and Rotobrushing. I'm looking for an alternative method. You shouldn't have to roto if you already have a clean plate of the background.
You can try Mylenium's Difference Matte suggestion. It might work, depending on the nature of your footage.
But keep a sharp eye on the edges of your subject: if they don't look good to you, they probably will never look great using it. There aren't many ways to tweak a Difference Matte.
If there were easy and accurate techniques to avoid shooting chroma keys, the whole planet would be using them, and chroma keys would be dead. They aren't.

It took some encouragement for my dog to eat this, although she loves dried blueberries, cranberries, and cherries. Since it has only been 2 weeks of eating it, I cannot say whether or not it is effective for joint relief. I have faithfully given her Glycoflex II which she eats with no problems and it did help to clear her back limp. She is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd but is an extremely active mountain biking dog, going out running at least 5+ days a week. So at the very least, its a joint treat, but I can't say I could depend on it for joint support at this point.
My one dog was limping on and off on his front paws and since I have been making sure he gets one of these every day so far he's been doing better. I bought a few bags because the price on Entirely Pets is way cheaper than some other sites sell these for. I paid over $20 for the same exact thing! I always make sure I price shop now.

Supporters' generosity funds East Africa peace work
AKRON, Pa. – Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is using the generous gifts of its supporters to meet needs throughout the world, including peace-building projects in Sudan and Uganda.
Donations that exceeded projections have enabled a $7.2-million plan initiated in 2006 for special projects over three to five years.
MCC service worker Gena Sheller of West Alexander, Pa., is coordinator for justice and peace in the Catholic Diocese of Rumbek, a town in southern Sudan. Sheller works with the churches' lay leaders, who often also are community leaders, as they wrestle with issues and explore how their faith leads them to respond. She finds peace and justice resources and plans for trainings.
In this difficult work, she says she finds joy by talking with people. "Even community leaders cannot contribute fully to the healing of their communities until they themselves heal. Often I just ask questions that will help them to dig deeper and think from another angle. All these small conversations can seem insignificant, but I hope encouraging one person will lead to that person lifting up another."
MCC's peace-building work in East Africa also includes partnership with Concerned Parents Association (CPA) in Uganda. MCC workers Ben and Holly Porter of Denver, Colo., serve with CPA, Ben as a technical adviser to a program for trainers in trauma recovery strategies and Holly in communitywide reconciliation activities.
In October 1996, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) attacked St. Mary's Aboke boarding school, abducting 139 girls. A nun followed the soldiers and pleaded for the girls' release. The soldiers agreed to release 109 girls but kept 30 as prisoners.
Their parents decided to work together to try to free their daughters and formed CPA. And they quickly realized that they were not alone – the LRA was abducting children throughout northern Uganda.
"We wanted to get out of our pain in a positive way and help others get out of their pain," recalls Angelina Atyam, chair of CPA and the mother of a then-14-year-old girl who was abducted from St. Mary's Aboke. Twenty-four of the 30 girls from St. Mary's Aboke have escaped, including Atyam's daughter. Four have died, and two are believed to still be with the LRA.
CPA started a reception center for children who escape the LRA and organized a network of support groups for parents of abducted children. The organization helped to document more than 24,000 child abductions in northern Uganda and bring international attention to these atrocities.
International Program Department Director Ron Flaming explains that the overall $7.2-million plan covers work not only in Sudan and Uganda, but also in Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Palestine, Paraguay and other countries. In addition, the plan includes administrative initiatives that are helping build MCC's ongoing mission.
"We have these funds partly due to the recent strength of the Canadian dollar, and also because income has exceeded projections in the past two to three years," Flaming says.
"The needs around the world are enormous and, in fact, increases have been offset in part by the weak dollar abroad," Flaming says. "All the funds are allocated. This situation has provided a mechanism to respond to some special needs faithfully and creatively."
