The fate of businessman Rajabu Maranda charged with the theft of 2.26bn/- from the Bank of Tanzania's External Payment Arrears (EPA) account will be known today when judgment in a second similar case will be delivered.
The Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court in Dar es Salaam will give judgement in the case facing the CCM cadre and co-accused Farijali Hussein in the theft case they are charged with.
They allegedly stole the money after presenting forged documents indicating that Money Planners Consultancy Company was credited with a debt of the said amount by Graciel Company of Germany.
The fate of the said accused is scheduled to be delivery by a panel of three magistrates comprising Fatuma Masengi, Catherine Rovocat and Projestus Kahyoza.Maranda and Farijali are represented by counsel Magafu, who has been facing off with state azttorney Vitalis Timon, assisted by Arafa Msafiri in the long-drawn case.
In the case, which started in November 2008, seven prosecution witnesses testifies before the court. Earlier the prosecution had claimed to have 22 witnesses.
In his testimony, the first witness Rajabu Maranda, who is the first accused, requested the court to disregard all the evidence presented in court by the prosecution witnesses because he did not steal nor forge and he has never send any requests to BoT.
He added that all the payments made by BoT to Money Planners Consultants were legally paid and BoT has never complained about being robbed since even the witness from BoT said the payments were legitimate
Maranda alleged that the police never took his cautioned statement, apart from the general statement which was taken by the task force which set up by President Jakaya Kikwete.
In his testimony, Farijala Hussein, who is the second accused, claimed that they were not the ones who inherited the debit but Paul Nyingo and Fundi Karunga, who went to them to ask for a 150m/- loan.
He claimed that in order to open an account the person needed to have money and at that time Nyingo and Katunga did not have the money.
He alleged that after following all the procedures they managed to open an account at United Bank of Africa, which now is known as Commercial Bank of Africa, where the BOT paid the said debt.
Maranda and Hussein are charged with forging a deed of assignment showing that Graciel Company had assigned a debt of 2,266,049,041/65 to Money Planners Consultancy Company while knowing it to be false.

Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader. May seems a little uneasy—perhaps it's because she hasn't yet told Ash that her father, Norman, is the gym leader in Petalburg! When Ash first gets to the gym, he meets May's little brother, Max, who is pretending to be the gym leader. Max knows a lot about Pokémon and can't wait until he's old enough to become a trainer. Once Ash finally meets Norman, he learns that he will need three Pokémon in order to battle at the gym. He only has Pikachu with him. When Norman agrees to an unofficial battle, Ash encounters his first Vigoroth. Ash realizes that he will have to train hard in order to win a badge in Petalburg City. After a quick scuffle with Team Rocket, Ash and May are ready to hit the road again. Max has decided to tag along, too!
Ash and May have arrived to Petalbug City where Ash hopes to fight the Gym Leader. Ash explaines to May that he needs Badges to get into the League. May says that the Patleburg City's Gym Leader is kind and strong, while Ash proposes to go meet him. May runs off, "needing to take care of few things first".
When Ash arrives to the Gym, he finds it empty, but a child comes, recognizing Ash, as "the trainer who lost in 2nd round" and guesses Ash's name wrong. Max then recites what happened at Johto League - Blaziken and Charizard were fiercly battling one another, until Charizard had lost energy to fight.
Ash then argues with Max as to how difficult the battle was. Ash then tells him that he wants the Gym Leader, to which Max replies that it was him. Reciting the rules, he says that the Trainer needs to show their Pokemon, to which Ash argues. Suddenly, May comes to the window with her parents.
May introduces her family to Ash, while Max introduces (incorrectly) Ash as the loser of 2nd round of Johto Leauge. May's mother then asks about May's bike, to which she replies that it got destroyed. Her father then wants to show which Pokemon she chose, and she brings her Torchic out. Max is sorely dissapointed, mentioning that he would've picked Treecko instead. To that, Torchic attacks Max.
Ash then joins to the lunch. May asks her father to battle Ash. Ash asks about the (real) rules, to which Max states again that it is on 3-on-3 battle. Ash, has only Pikachu and only wants the Pokemon from Hoenn region to battle with. However, May's father makes an exception - he will battle Ash, but an unofficial one. May's father brings his Vigoroth out.
Vigoroth atttacks Pikachu with Scratch attack. Pikachu was unable to dodge it, and as Vigoroth makes another attack, Pikachu manages to dodge it, while the 3rd time he gets beaten. Pikachu strikes with Quick Attack, but Vigoroth evades and attacks Pikachu once more. Team Rocket see the battle and plan to take both Vigoroth and Pikachu.
Pikachu attacks with Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth dodges. Pikachu strikes with Quick Attack, managing to attack the Vigoroth. Vigoroth scratches Pikachu again, defeating him. Team Rocket appear, but ay's mother mistakes them to be her friends. Jessie brings her Arbok, while James his Weezing out. Weetzing attacks with SmokeScreen, while Arbok uses Headbutt strike, knocking Pikachu out.
May brings her Torchic out, but while she is trying to think which move should Torchic use, Arbok knocks it out. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt attack, but with the smoke, he accidentally attacks Max. Team Rocket dissappears, taking Torchic with them, strangely enough.
Jessie puts her rubber gloves on, taking Torchic (to whic Team Rocket thought it was a Pikachu). Meowth then advises to use Torchic as bait for Pikachu. Norman (May's father) splits from Ash, May and Max, finding the air baloon Team Rocket was using. Max and May go to rescue Torchic, but fall into a hole. Norman and Caroline (May's mother) go rescue their children, but they fall as well into another hole. Ash then wanted to bring out Bayleef, but he does not have it, so Arbok attacks. Pikachu makes an counterattack. Ash helps bring Max and May, and Norman (who climbed out of the hole) brings Vigoroth out, attacking Arbok. Max sneaks to get Torchic and he manages to bring it back to May.
Arbok grapples Vigoroth, but Pikachu attacks Arbok. May orders Torchic to attack with Amber, but Max corrects her, so she orders to attack with Ember, but Torchic attacks Max. She orders to attack with Peck, but (again) Torchic attacks Max. Pikachu is knocked out by Arbok's attack. Vigoroth knocks out Team Rocket and Pikachu attacks them with Thunderbolt, sending them away.
Ash and May decide to go away. Max decides to join them, since he knows a lot about Pokemon. Norman offers May and Ash badge cases. Norman gives Max a Pokemon navigator and advises Ash to go to Rustborough City, where he may fight against the Gym Leader. The episode ends with Ash, May and Max going to the next city.

In 2012, Europe's wind energy industry was plunged into a crisis of regulatory uncertainty as governments, seeing renewables as an easy target for austerity measures, slashed or changed their support. Despite this, 2012 marked a historic milestone: reaching 100 GW of wind power capacity in the EU, meeting the power needs of 57 million households, equivalent to the output of 39 nuclear power plants – a remarkable success which was achieved during a period of extraordinary growth founded on firm political support.
In 2012, EWEA launched 3 major new reports. 'Green Growth: The impact of wind energy on jobs and the economy' examined the impact of wind energy on jobs and the economy in the EU. The wind energy industry increased its contribution to the EU's gross domestic product (GDP) by 33% between 2007 and 2010. In 2010, the industry's growth was twice that of the EU's GDP overall, with the sector contributing €32 billion to an EU economy in slowdown.
The EU-funded SEANERGY 2020 project, in which EWEA was a partner, showed the benefits for Member States of cooperation on maritime spatial planning, and recommended the European Commission provide a Framework Directive. The report 'SEAENERGY: Delivering offshore electricity to the EU' was launched in July 2012.
'Creating the Internal Energy Market in Europe', launched in September 2012, was a report on EU electricity market rules, which must reflect the energy generation mix of the future and help usher in a flexible power system with a large-scale uptake of wind power and other renewable energy sources.

The overall "quality" of the 15 biggest U.S. airlines dropped slightly below their performance in 2012, but only from -1.08 to -1.11. So says the latest release of the annual "Airline Quality Rating" (AQR) scores. (Don't be put off by the negative scores: The way the calculations work, scores are always negative, so the less negative, the better.) Overall, slight gains in on-time arrival and fewer mishandled bags were offset by more "bumped" travelers and more consumer complaints to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
AQR scores are a composite of four statistical measures compiled and reported by the DOT: on-time performance, how many travelers were denied boarding ("bumped"), how many bags the line mishandled, and how many complaints were logged by the DOT's consumer program, all adjusted to a consistent per-passenger index.
Among individual airlines, the top scorer, overall, was Virgin America—in the system for the first time. Other lines in the top five were JetBlue, AirTran (still counted separately), Delta, and Alaska. The regionals generally score below the large lines across the board; the worst scorers among the large lines were United and American. Notable scorers in each individual category (excluding regionals):
- On-Time Arrivals: Top scores went to Hawaiian, AirTran, and Delta; bottom scores went to American, United, and Frontier.
- Bumped Passengers: Top scores went to JetBlue and Virgin America; bottom score went to United, by a big margin.
- Mishandled Bags: Top scores went to Virgin America, AirTran, and JetBlue; bottom scores went to United, Southwest, and Alaska.
- Complaints to DOT: Top scores went to Southwest, Alaska, and Delta; bottom score went to United, again by a big margin.
Overall, the scores contained few surprises. United's generally poor showing indicates, among other factors, that it still hasn't fully digested its merger with Continental. And relatively poor showings by both American and US Airways do not augur well for the future merged company. An increase in the number of bumped travelers probably reflects greater reluctance of oversold travelers to accept a seat on the "next flight" when the next available seat might be two days later. And the increase in complaints probably reflects the overall downgrading of the economy-cabin airline experience: fees, lousy seats, long lines, etcetera, etcetera.
Current-year AQR scores have generally been reasonably good predictors of future performance. Annual scores don't change very fast and both winners and losers tend to be fairly consistent from year to year.
Since the beginning, I've had a big problem with the AQR scores and exactly what they measure. People typically define "quality" for any product or service in two dramatically different ways:
- How good the product is, when delivered as the supplier promises.
- How well the supplier delivers on what it promises.
The AQR scores reflect only the delivery side of quality—how closely each airline comes to meeting the basic obligations it has assumed. Thus, except for the complaints factor, the scores reflect more the absence of problems rather than any positive experience. And the scores have nothing to say about the many other factors that affect how much you might enjoy a flight—seat space, onboard service, in-flight entertainment, and such—nor do they account for the generosity (or stinginess) of the various lines' frequent-flyer programs or the level of annoying fees and charges. The problem with delivery-based scores is, of course, that an airline can deliberately design and provide a poor product and still earn a good AQR score by delivering its poor product consistently.
AQR authors stress that scores are based entirely on "objective" statistical data, which necessarily reflect delivery rather than "how good is the product" measures. Nevertheless, when most of you select an airline, those "how good is the product" factors tend to outweigh the AQR factors by far, especially given the relatively small spread between top and bottom performance scores. And for the "how good" element of quality, my take—and that of many surveys—is that JetBlue still offers the best flight experience of any large domestic airline.

Wednesday Forecast: End Of The Road For Big 12 Turkeys
- Wednesday, November 25, 2009 8:18 PM
- Written By: Jonathan Crowl
The last week of the Big 12 regular season is coming to a close, but few teams have anything worth playing for. The division championships have already been decided, and only Kansas is playing for a bowl berth. There's always rankings and prestige, but it's tough to predict what will motivate teams -- or if nothing will.
Typically, the highest entertainment value from these final games is the rivalries (of which most games this weekend are) and the potential for firings. Obscured by the media cloud hovering above Charlie Weis, there are a couple different Big 12 coaches sitting squarely on the hot seat, and at least a couple more headed that way if they repeat this season's success in 2010.
The picks:
Texas at Texas A&M: It's the last regular-season hurdle for Texas. But the Longhorns just seem too aware of themselves and the opportunity ahead of them to blow it against the Aggies. Plus, do you see coach Mike Sherman having the skill set to lead A&M in an upset of Texas? It's not that he's a bad coach -- it's that he's a bad college coach. But the ineffective pro-ball mentality will get at least one more season to reign in Aggieland, no matter how badly they lose this game.
Nebraska at Colorado: Last year, NU's Alex Henery booted a 57-yarder that gave Nebraska the lead late in the fourth quarter. It was this game that the Huskers regained the swagger they had been missing for the past half-decade -- they weren't back, but they put on a charmed performance that carries good programs to wins and bad programs to sucker-punch losses. This is always a great game and often hard to predict, but let's say Nebraska.
Oklahoma State at Oklahoma: You're telling me that if Oklahoma loses this game, it ends the season 6-6? No way. I just can't fathom that happening at the hands of its in-state rival. Plus, OSU tends to be unreliable. It seems like a trap game for the Cowboys, and besides, I pick the favorite too often. So it's Oklahoma.
Kansas at Missouri: Two years ago, both Mark Mangino and Gary Pinkel were candidates for national coach of the year. Now, KU is trying to find a way to get Mangino fired, and Pinkel has fallen out of favor in Missouri, although he won't be going anywhere this year. But I guarantee you, the Kansas athletic department is trying to find a way to can Mangino over his alleged verbal abuse of players. Why, you ask? It's all about the Benjamins: If they fire him for being awful, he gets around a $6.6 million buyout. If they have cause, he's on the street without a dollar's worth of severance. It doesn't help that he and athletic director Lew Perkins don't get along.
Baylor at Texas Tech: Overall, Tech's season has gone better than many would have expected. Its big win over Oklahoma exercised some demons, and with a win over Baylor it'll hit eight wins. You can't say it was a failed season for Baylor -- even when the quarterback position imploded, the Bears still managed four wins and proved they've got a respectable defense and solid prospects for the future. If Robert Griffin's behind center for the entire season next year, they'll make a bowl game. For now, they're limping (admirably) to the finish.

Rare book collections
The Department of Special Collections and University Archives houses over 35,000 volumes reflecting an evolving history of collecting at UMass Amherst. Beginning in the late 1860s with a focus on agriculture and the natural sciences, SCUA has developed into a resource for the study of regional and local history in New England, emphasizing our varied cultural, social, religious, and political histories.
Beyond New England, SCUA has built strength in several distinct areas, ranging from the history of social change to the extraordinary collection of Japanese rarities collected by the geologist Benjamin Smith Lyman during the Meiji era. Other noteworthy collections include those pertaining to the culture of the Cold War: a growing collection of books printed in East Germany and one of the largest collections of materials in the United States from the Solidarity movement in Poland.
All books and periodicals held by SCUA are cataloged in the Library's online catalog and summary descriptions of most major book collections, but not individual titles, are included in SCUA's own online catalog, UMarmot.
Selected areas of collecting interest:
Agriculture, horticulture, natural history
The library holds key works in apiculture, entomology, gardening, landscape design, organic agriculture, pomology, sustainability, and viticulture, with numerous works in animal husbandry. Materials date back to the 16th century, however the strength of the collections lies in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
Cookery in New England
The collections of Beatrice A. McIntosh, Athena Savas, and Lynette Foucher, among others, include books, pamphlets, and ephemera relating to the culinary history of New England, including many thousands of cookbooks published by church and community organizations.
European history and culture
Diverse collections ranging from materials on Revolutionary-era Europe, 1789-1848 (the Binet and Brabançonne Collections); Anglo-American Political Economy; twentieth century German history (the Harold Gordon Collection on the Interwar period and the Hans Joachim Ring Collection on East German cinema); and Communist-era Poland (Basia Jakubowska Schlatner Solidarity Collection).
Gay and Lesbian Literature
The centerpiece extensive of our holdings is the collection of gay rights pioneer Barbara Gittings and her partner, Kay Tobin Lahusen, which includes books on the history of homosexuality in America, works by and about gay writers, gay activism, and related topics.
Literary collections
Books by and about Robert Francis, Archibald MacLeish, William Manchester, William Lederer, and the Broadside Press, among others, as well as the poetry libraries of Francis, Wallace Stevens, and Anne Halley. Although the literary collections focus largely on New England writers, SCUA houses fine collections of the works of William Morris and William Butler Yeats, signed first editions of works by Thomas Mann, and collections of French and Scottish writers.
New England history and culture
Local and regional histories, novels, and other writing about Massachusetts from the eighteenth century to the present. These include an array of election, ordination, installation, dedication, fast-day, mission, farewell, and funeral sermons; Fourth of July orations; and addresses to or by benevolent, cultural, and civic organizations in the Commonwealth. SCUA also collects works printed in small towns and rural districts of Massachusetts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Social change
Valuable collections for the history of antislavery in New England and politics of the left. The John P. Roche and Steven Siteman Collections focus on the American left from the late 19th century through the 1950s, with some European materials and materials from the political right.
Soler, Jose A.
Jose A. Soler Papers, 1972-2014.
Call no.: MS 864
A scholar of labor studies and activist, José Soler was born in New York City to a Dominican mother and Puerto Rican father and has been an activist in the cause of Puerto Rican independence and human rights since the 1970s. While a student at the University of New Mexico (BA 1972), Soler emerged as a leader in the Chicano rights organization, the Brown Berets, and while living in Puerto Rico in the late 1970s, he joined the Puerto Rican Socialist Party. Soler has subsequently worked in the labor movement as a shop steward, union organizer with UAW District 65, and labor journalist. As a committed Marxist and prolific writer and editor, he has taken part in causes ranging from anti-imperialist work in the Caribbean and Central America to the anti-apartheid struggle, and he has served on the Executive Board of the US Peace Council. From 1993 until his retirement in 2015, Soler worked as Director of the Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education Center at UMass Dartmouth where he has continued to work on behalf of public education and human rights and national self-determination.
The Soler Papers chronicle over forty years of a life-long activist's interests and participation in left-wing political, labor, and social justice movements. There is a particular focus on topics relating to socialism and the pro-independence movement in Puerto Rico, anti-imperialist movements in South and Central America and Africa, and issues affecting Puerto Rican and Hispanic workers in the United States, New England, and the New York City area. Published and promotional materials such as periodicals, magazines, newsletters, and pamphlets make up the bulk of the collection, with extensive coverage of the concerns of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Puertorriqueño, PSP), the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), as well as New Jersey chapters of the unions Communications Workers of America (CWA) and District 65, which eventually joined the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW).

Marshall P. Wilder Collection, 1848-1929.
Call no.: RG 002/3 W55
A merchant and amateur horticulturalist from Dorchester, Mass., Marshall P. Wilder (1798-1886) was a key figure in American pomology during the mid-nineteenth century and a major supporter of agricultural education. A supreme organizer and institution builder, he was a founder and president of the American Pomological Society and United States Agricultural Society, and president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and New England Historic Genealogical Society. His 1849 address before the Norfolk Agricultural Society is often credited as an important catalyst for the creation of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and he served as trustee of the College from its opening in 1867 until his death in 1886.
The Wilder Collection consists primarily of printed works written or collected by Marshall P. Wilder, including materials pertaining to early meetings of the American Pomological Society and the United States Agricultural Society, his 1849 address to the Norfolk Agricultural Society, and his address to the first graduating class at MAC. Among the handful of manuscripts are a draft proposal to hold a national meeting of fruit growers (the inaugural meeting of the American Pomological Society), two letters regarding his donation of a large number of books to the MAC library, and a bound set of 22 beautiful watercolors of pear varieties painted by Louis B. Berckmans.

Abbe, Edward H.
Edward H. Abbe Papers, 1828-2004.
Call no.: MS 736
Born in Syracuse, N.Y., in 1915 and raised largely in Hampton, Va., Edward Abbe seemed destined to be an engineer. The great nephew of Elihu Thomson, an inventor and founding partner in General Electric, and grandson of Edward Folger Peck, an early employee of a precursor of that firm, Abbe came from a family with a deep involvement in electrification and the development of street railways. After prepping at the Rectory and Kent Schools, Abbe studied engineering at the Sheffield School at Yale, and after graduation in 1938, accepted a position with GE. For 36 years, he worked in the Industrial Control Division in New York and Virginia, spending summers at the family home on Martha's Vineyard. After retirement in 1975, he and his wife Gladys traveled frequently, cruising both the Atlantic and Pacific.
Ranging from an extensive correspondence from his high school and college days to materials relating to his family's involvement in engineering, the Abbe collection offers an in depth perspective on an educated family. An avid traveler and inveterate keeper, Ed Abbe gathered a diverse assemblage of letters, diaries, and memorabilia relating to the history of the Abbe, Peck, Booth, Gifford, and Boardman families. The collection is particularly rich in visual materials, including albums and photographs, depicting homes, travel, and family life over nearly a century.

- Brief Bio
Jason's heritage in gaming started at a young age with toys like Simon Says, Mindbreaker, and the venerable TI Speak-n-Spell. Eventually, playing Defender on the TI-994A computer in 16 colors with the add-on speech synthesizer cemented "gaming" in Jason's mind.
In the late 1980s, Jason was exposed to the NES and the Japan-originated classics of Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda and many other titles. Shigeru Miyamoto was not yet a legendary game designer, but Jason still remembers an interview with the budding star in Nintendo Power. This was Jason's first glimpse of the game industry, and the fact that making games was a process that involved actual people.
The TRS-80 computer led to tinkering with programming, which culminated with Jason studying Computer Science at The University of Akron. Tabletop, pencil-and-paper games Dungeons & Dragons and Shadowrun and PC games like Doom were popular past-times for Jason and his roommates in their dorm.
After college, Jason took a hiatus from gaming while working at the now-defunct NetGenics Inc., a biotech startup which occupied a great deal of his time and energy. Later he rediscovered his passion with titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation, and Jet Grind Radio and Space Channel 5 on the Dreamcast.
Jason stumbled upon GameCritics.com in its nascent form, and joined what he felt was an intelligent community of articulate gamers. Progressing from playing and talking about games to evangelizing and critiquing them through reviews seemed natural to Jason as he joined the staff of GameCritics.com. He finds time to play and review games while working as a software configuration manager in the financial industry.

"We used a colorful print that had grey background hues, which complemented the text box portion of this card well. The designer helped us center our image and optimize it for printing. We are very happy with our purchase and can't wait to send these out! As others have said, keep in mind that these post cards are on the small side, but we knew that going in and thus got what we expected."
"Paper quality was perfect for a save the date. My custom color turned out exactly like the proof I was sent. My order arrived early. Everyone absolutely loved them!!"
"The magnets turned out even better than I expected. All the pictures looked really good with the chevron background and I received so many compliments."
"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"I loved having the ability to choose up to 4 photos since we took so many for our engagement shoot, yet they were organized in a way they still made it look simple and tasteful! Being able to choose colors that matched was great, as well as writing a detailed message on the back! Also, saving on postcard postage was definitely a huge plus!!!"

My truck and my wife quit in the same week. Can you believe that? That old Chevy had been with me since October of 1989. The old…the old…uh…uh…my beautiful wife has been with me since...uh…for a little bit longer!
I lacked four months getting 20 years from the truck. It carried me a little over 279,000 miles. Most of them pretty smooth. Josh was 14 when I wheeled up into the yard in the shiny new vehicle. Jesse had just turned 12.
"Take us for a spin, dad."
"Can we ride in the back?"
The corn on the cob would stick to my teeth. The barbecue was accompanied with mild, hot, or sweet sauce. The potato salad was more than adequate if they went light on the mustard and the egg halves. The hot dogs were always a might over done. And the ketchup bottles were so sticky after the first five people went through that I wouldn't pick one up for nothing! The drinks were iced down in No. 3 washtubs. And the dessert table took up a whole corner of the town square.
In the distant past, the Fourth of July was a holiday of much fun and patriotic feelings. But the feeling of today's Fourth is vastly different from that of yesteryear.
Well...if there's anything that's constant in this life, it's change.
I was supposed to have started a new job this past Monday. It didn't happen. I was promised things that, when it came time to sign on the dotted line, weren't delivered. I politely declined, and came home to the Times. I'm a lot of things, but stupid ain't one of them.
Every year around this time I preach the same sermon.
We are one month into hurricane season and thankfully there has been nothing sighted in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. But the last thing we need to do is become complacent. Now is the time to get ready for hurricane season by doing all of those things that the National Weather Service deems important. Now is the time to get those trees cut down or trimmed.
Raymond Mercer would ease a "chaw" of "Day's Work" from one side of his jaw to the other. He'd squint off toward the back of the Parke Theater. He'd squat down on his haunches and expertly ease a load of juice equal distance between the toes of his trail worn Red Wings. He'd peer up at Luke Finley's dark-colored mule. He'd squint back toward the theater again, spit and slightly nod his head up and down. We all breathed a sigh of relief. He bought the animal!
Like a lot of people, I was shocked when I heard the news that Michael Jackson had died. To me, it was like losing a member of the family. It really didn't sink in right away either. Only after I got home and turned to CNN did I realize that Michael, as I call him, was gone forever.
Everyone has a favorite Michael story. And no one ever forgets the first time they saw Michael on television and definitely no one forgets the first time they saw Michael in person.

Every month, thousands of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants from Somalia and Ethiopia cross the Gulf of Aden or the Red Sea to reach Yemen, fleeing drought, poverty, conflict or persecution. And although this year's numbers are, so far, lower than in 2012 - about 62,200 in the first 10 months compared to 88,533 for the same period last year - the Gulf of Aden remains one of the world's most travelled sea routes for irregular migration (asylum-seekers and migrants). UNHCR and its local partners monitor the coast to provide assistance to the new arrivals and transport them to reception centres. Those who make it to Yemen face many challenges and risks. The government regards Somalis as prima facie refugees and automatically grants them asylum, but other nationals such as the growing number of Ethiopians can face detention. Some of the Somalis make their own way to cities like Aden, but about 50 a day arrive at Kharaz Refugee Camp, which is located in the desert in southern Yemen. Photographer Jacob Zocherman recently visited the Yemen coast where arrivals land, and the camp where many end up.
Life is slowly returning to normal in urban and rural areas of the southern Yemeni province of Abyan, where fighting between government forces and rebels caused major population displacements in 2011 and 2012.
But since last July, as hostilities subsided and security began to improve, more than 100,000 internally displaced people (IDP) have returned to their homes in the province, or governorate. Most spent more than a year in temporary shelters in neighbouring provinces such as Aden and Lahj.
Today, laughing children once more play without fear in the streets of towns like the Abyan capital, Zinjibar, and shops are reopening. But the damage caused by the conflict is visible in many areas and the IDPs have returned to find a lack of basic services and livelihood opportunities as well as lingering insecurity in some areas.
There is frustration about the devastation, which has also affected electricity and water supplies, but most returnees are hopeful about the future and believe reconstruction will soon follow. UNHCR has been providing life-saving assistance since the IDP crisis first began in 2011, and is now helping with the returns.
Amira Al Sharif, a Yemeni photojournalist, visited Abyan recently to document life for the returnees.
The port city of Aden in southern Yemen has long been a destination for refugees, asylum-seekers and economic migrants after making the dangerous sea crossing from the Horn of Africa. Since May 2011, Aden also has been providing shelter to tens of thousands of Yemenis fleeing fighting between government forces and armed groups in neighbouring Abyan governorate.
Most of the 157,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) from Abyan have found shelter with friends and relatives, but some 20,000 have been staying in dozens of public schools and eight vacant public buildings. Conditions are crowded with several families living together in a single classroom.
Many IDPs expected their displacement would not be for long. They wish to return home, but cannot do so due to the fighting. Moreover, some are fearful of reprisals if they return to areas where many homes were destroyed or severely damaged in bombings.
UNHCR has provided emergency assistance, including blankets, plastic sheeting and wood stoves, to almost 70,000 IDPs from Abyan. Earlier this year, UNHCR rehabilitated two buildings, providing shelter for 2,000 people and allowing 3,000 children, IDPs and locals, to resume schooling in proper classrooms. UNHCR is advocating with the authorities for the conversion of additional public buildings into transitional shelters for the thousands of IDPs still living in schools.
Photographer Pepe Rubio Larrauri travelled to Aden in March 2012 to document the day-to-day lives of the displaced.

A doctor show revealed the incredible results of Green Coffee Bean Extract on his show last year, and ever since then the world has gone crazy over this 100% natural supplement for rapid weight loss. Green Coffee Bean Extract is well known and documented for its amazing weight-loss efficiency.
Green Coffee Bean Extract is so powerful that the doctor gave it his stamp of approval. He has reviewed the studies and cross-checked them with other experts in the industry who concur with his evaluation. Chlorogenic Acid (the active ingredient) is the major factor that causes Green Coffee Beans to be so effective in helping people accomplish their weight loss goals. It is a break-through discovery in the fitness world – that a 100% natural substance with no side effects causes rapid weight loss. This makes Green Coffee Bean Extract sensational.
On average the clinical trial subjects lost 18 lbs each. That was 19% of their overall body fat and 11.5% body weight.
Prominent Doctor explains the benefits of Green Coffee Beans
Green Coffee Bean - Losing Weight Fast
Let's cut to the chase: The most recent clinical study on green coffee bean published in the Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity science journal followed a test group of 16 adults who supplemented with green coffee bean for only 12 weeks. The subjects lost an average of 18 pounds each – this was 11.5% of their overall body weight and 19% of their overall body fat over the period of the study! As importantly, there were no negative side effects reported.
The Benefits of Green Coffee
- More Weight Loss Than Diet And Exercise
- Contains 800 mg pure (not an extract), it's unaltered (very important), the most potent and natural Green Coffee Beans on the market.
- Boosts Mental and Physical Energy
- Rich in Antioxidants (improves many body systems)
- Promotes Cardiovascular and Digestive Health
- Gives you the most effective dosage of 1500mg – quicker & better results
- No Additives
- No Fillers Or Binders – Get Pure Green Coffee Beans and nothing else!
America's Hottest Way To A Flat Belly
The big question: "How do green coffee beans prevent weight gain and accelerate weight loss?"
The key ingredient is not the caffeine as once thought. The real key is a natural active compound called Chlorogenic Acid. Chlorogenic Acid works by limiting the release of glucose (sugar) into your bloodstream after you eat, which forces your body to use existing energy stores in your fat cells. This gives a dramatic boost to your metabolism from 2 different angles, simultaneously. This is why the process is described as "burning more fat", but your body is using existing fat stores as if you are doing strenuous exercise. These two mechanisms work in synergy to inhibit the absorption of fat and help in facilitating fast weight loss.So what about the coffee you drink with breakfast in the morning, does that do the same thing? Unfortunately it doesn't. When the coffee beans are roasted at 475 degrees the chlorogenic acid is degraded and does
not have the same structure and properties. Green coffee beans have not been roasted, so the potent fat burning chlorogenic acid is still in its natural, active state. Unroasted, green coffee beans are naturally green when they are taken from the plant so they contain over 50% chlorogenic acid.
A Rush of Success Stories
Tens of thousands of people are trying Green Coffee Supreme across America (and other countries too) and they are finding great success and fulfillment with it. Most of them started out feeling skeptical, but now they're are living testimonials after experiencing success in their quests to lose weight. From the testimonials we've seen, losing weight is not just about looking better, but being more confident and healthier which has made an impact on all aspects of their lives.
It's truly a surprise that a 100% natural substance can be more effective than expensive designer medicine, and without the side-effects! We've shown some of the testimonials we have received on this page, and that's only some of the emails, letters and pictures we have been sent that show how powerful Green Coffee Supreme is. Now the trials are over, Green Coffee Supreme is available for people to try (FOR ONLY $1.99 S&H Charge!) and see the results for themselves.
Natural Way to Burn Fat
As Shown in Studies
Produced from Coffee Beans
50% Chlorogenic Acid
The facts
Green coffee bean helps burn fat
Coffee's effects on weight loss and glycemic control (when your body releases or stores energy in adipose tissue - fat cells) have been attributed to Chlorogenic Acid, Lignans, Trigonelline, and Quinides, all of which have been shown to improve glucose metabolism in animal and human studies.
The clinical studies have been made on Green Coffee Bean Extract suggest that Chlorogenic Acid slows the absorption of fat from food/calorie intake and simultaneously activates metabolism of stored energy in body fat.
For a more scientific explanation, Chlorogenic Acid has specifically been shown to inhibit the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme which promotes the formation of glucose (sugar) in the liver. Doctors believe that the Chlorogenic Acid in coffee is responsible for the reduced risk of disorders like diabetes, with long-term coffee consumption. Full clinical studies can be found in the science journals on The US National Library of Medicine website.

Following up on Sony's previous announcement, today rumors of a PlayStation Vita 4G design, PS Vita Firmware update and price cut have surfaced from PatentBolt.com (linked above).
Below are the details, as follows: "On February 7, 2013, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Sony that is technically about the PlayStation Vita and their new and upcoming connectors.
Sony states that the connectors are for "connecting the electronic apparatus to peripheral apparatuses" at the bottom and side surfaces of the device housing. Sony's patent filing specifically states that the next generation PS Vita will gain USB, HDMI and a power supply connector described as a parallelepiped connector.
New Ports Coming to Sony's PS Vita
As shown in Sony's patent FIG. 2, the electronic apparatus 1 in this example includes connectors 23, 24, 25, 39, and 59 as the plural electronic components. The connector 23 is, for example, a headphone jack.
The connectors 24, 25, and 39 are connectors such as a USB connector or an HDMI connector for transmitting and receiving data between the electronic apparatus 1 and other electronic apparatuses. The connector 59 is, for example, a power supply connector for supplying electric power to the electronic apparatus 1.
Sony's patent application was originally filed in the US in Q3 2012 but months earlier in Japan. The photo above was taken from Sony website on February 7, 2013. It's juxtaposed to Sony's patent figures 1 and 2 which expose the new ports. In comparison, we see the new ports clearly.
Sony's patent was filed in the US in Q3 2011 under serial number 559772 and filed months earlier in Japan."
Finally, from GamerXchange.net to quote:
Rumor: 4G Vita Plus Firmware Update To Be Revealed Soon?
"With the one year anniversary of the PlayStation Vita fast approaching in North America, sources (who have requested that we keep anonymous) have hinted at the possibility of an upgraded model coming sooner than most may have expected.
Although the credibility of this report comes into question by myself and my colleagues, these are the details nonetheless:
- A new 4G LTE model of the PlayStation Vita will be replacing the 3G model sometime this year. According to the source, this will be the so-called "price drop" that has been rumored for the Vita as the new model will retain the $299 price point for an upgraded system.
- The Wi-Fi version will still be available on the market for $249
- To go along with the 4G model, a significant firmware update will go live bringing in a lot of requested features including new ways to organize apps in folders.
- The new model may be unveiled along with the rumored PS4 this month at PlayStation's February 20th event or at E3, but will not hit the market until later in the year.
- A price cut on memory cards will be made. No details on prices.
According to the source, no other hardware changes will be made to the Vita and all other specs and features will remain the same. As for the 4G model, the regions where it will be available, in addition to info on any data plan pricing was not available.
As stated before, this is a rumor and credibility comes into question, so take it with a whole pile of salt, if you would like; But it should be interesting if it really pans out. We will reach out to Sony to see if they have any comment on this.
Sound off in the comments below: If a new 4G LTE model of the Vita is announced this year, would you be willing to get it? Would you like to see a bigger price cut on the system itself? Or would you be happy to just receive a price cut on the memory cards? Discuss!"
