Besito means 'little kiss', but it deserves a big sloppy one according to Lauren Wambach
In a strip best known for bulk chickpeas and discount Ganesh statues, Besito has slapped the suburb awake with Five Senses coffee and zesty Colombian fare. Inside, silhouettes of tropical birds are resplendent against a magenta wall. Shabby-chic stripy tables are homely and bright, while a polished concrete floor and simple wooden chairs add balance and restraint. There's a bunch of oversized bare bulbs for good measure – this is Melbourne, after all.
For the caffeine jaded they're doing some interesting gear like Colombian Monserrate coffee through a Clever Dripper (that's a new-fangled filter apparatus BTW) which is so fruity it practically repels sugar. But if you're a die-hard candy fan, top it up with organic panela – unadulterated evaporated cane juice that looks like crushed caramel-coloured cookies. Or how about a Colombian hot chocolate? Made with whole chocolate and milk on the stovetop it comes with a grating fresh Pecorino-style cheese (yeah you heard us) for a truly South American savoury chocolate experience.
The fare is colourful and irrepressibly fresh. Andres Giraldo grew up under the tables of his family's restaurants in Colombia, and his wife Shannon is trained in patisserie. They're now guardians of the Giraldo family recipes. Palm heart ceviche is a delectable tangle of tender, artichoke-like creamy palm hearts tussled with limey rocket, herbs and gorgeous sunset-coloured curls of sweet potato. Plantains (that savoury cousin to the banana) are squished before being fried into little golden pucks, like Colombian potato cakes. Try them with a green tomatillo salsa that pings with coriander and chilli. Or how about some arepas? Fat little hot pockets of white cornmeal, perfect with loads of butter and pink salt.
Besito represents a huge leap forward for West Footscray, and as soon as the booze licence, dinner menu, and live music on Sunday arvos kick in you'll know just where to find us.

From the Governor
The American College of Physicians was held in New Orleans, LA this year from April 19 to April 21st. The pre-courses were held on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17th and 18th. Several of our ND members attended I ran into many of you but know also missed many. As usual, it was an excellent meetings covering most areas in internal medicine including professionalism, complementary and alternative medicine, communication skill and ethics and health policy. Health Information Technology was also a popular topic this year along with all of the expected internal medicine areas.
Participants enjoyed great foods and numerous activities including the night life.
Health policy was another area of great interest to many attendees at the national meeting. As of today, June 21, the Supreme Court has not released its decision on the Affordable Care Act. According to people who follow this area closely no one is sure what their decision will be.
Articles of interest
This is a very good article on Making opiates safe, efficient in the office. It is from the June issue of the ACP Internist.
An article in the American Medical News titled Medicares Bet on Primary Care.

It has come to my attention that Bob Kennedy has passed away today after battling lung cancer. It is truly sad to lose such a genuine icon in the fitness field that had such an incredible passion for bodybuilding, health and fitness.
Just last month Bob was the well-deserved recipient of the Arnold Lifetime Achievement Award. He was already so sick by then that he was home in Canada while his wife Tosca accepted the award on his behalf. That was the first I heard that Bob was very ill, and it saddened me to get that news. This was a man who was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, and who truly loved the sport of bodybuilding.
I first met Bob back in 1985 when I placed second in the Night of the Champions, and later in the year when I took third in my first Mr. Olympia. He gave me words of encouragement, telling me that I would be a great champion in the sport of bodybuilding. Bob even offered to help me write a book, an offer unfortunately I didn't take him up on but wish I had. Anything he published was always first-class.
When I first started lifting weights, his magazine MuscleMag International was one of the magazines I loved to read. It had so much great information that helped inspire me and reach my goals in bodybuilding. Many years later after I started my business, he would always make a point to stop by my booth to offer support and encouragement. Bob told me he knew that someday Gaspari Nutrition would be a hugely successful company. He was always one to wish others success and remind them to keep pushing even when things weren't going as well as you had hoped. Bob knew from his own personal experiences in publishing that starting up a business was not easy, but with hard work and belief in yourself and your product, success was assured. MuscleMag was on the verge of bankruptcy several times in its early years, but Bob persevered and built a publishing empire that encompassed several magazines and many best-selling books.
Later when I became more successful, he would write me letters saying how impressed he was at my accomplishments as a businessman; and how I was a great representative for bodybuilding. His work ethic was unprecedented. Not many people could do what he did, with the many publications he had and the many books he wrote. Through them, he influenced millions of people to take up bodybuilding and fitness as a healthy lifestyle. He will truly be missed by the bodybuilding industry.

Great pants to always carry in your pack

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I like them. It is enough small to carry it everywhere and seems to be tough enough for survive a few branches in the path. I tried it in bicycle and hiking and they are easy to put on and off if there is a sudden rain. The breathability is good.

The lightweight, waterproof, breathable Outdoor Research men's Foray Jacket and women's Aspire Jacket are GORE-TEX� shells with all-season features, and provide solid protection when heavy rain sets in for the long haul. Waterproof and extremely breathable GORE-TEX� fabric shrugs off the wear-and-tear of the trail, while TorsoFlo? side zippers allow poncho-style ventilation when body heat needs to escape. These backpacking and hiking jackets work as hard as you do, but pack down tight once the weather breaks. Tested by the IFMGA test team and refined in accordance with their feedback, the Outdoor Research Foray Jacket? and Aspire Jacket? are ready to repel even the most inhospitable wet weather.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I bought these for a trip up Mt. Baker expecting some rain but ended up not getting any. They were still great pants for the wet, sloppy snow and they barely took up any space in my pack. Certainly a great piece to bring along on any trip.

These pants are nice. The Gore-Tex Paclite material is awesome. I am 5'10''165lbs, and ordered a medium. They are a little snug in the waist, especially going on over softshell pants. May want to size up, but overall a great shell pant for a great price.
How would this do as a rainier shell?

These would work great as a rain shell. They're easy to put on over other pants with the 3/4 length zippers and you could probably leave your shoes on if you needed to put them on quickly.

Lake Park Elementary has only been a magnet school for three years. But their medical arts Academy is already in high demand.
Recently, a dozen parents spent the night outside the school, just to turn in the enrollment application.
The school has won several awards including Teacher of the year, and the I-care award for parent participation. But it's a zone school first and that means the number of magnet school spots depends on enrollment.
Parents were serious about turning applications in to Lake Park. "Our first parent showed up Thursday before school was over. By that night 20 people were in line," said Principal Catherine White.
Some actually spent the night on the side walk to give their kids an opportunity to attend. "They want there children to be here and were willing to do that. They want to hopefully secure a spot," said White.
Lake Park is a zone school first then magnet and only a few spots are available. "Grade level with the most spots would be 10. Some grade levels it would be 3," she said.
And Kindergarten is really the most sought after grade level. "Because parents want kids to start at a school where they'll stay,"said White.
One of the many unique programs at Lake Park Elementary is the Archery program. Plus they're the only school in Dougherty County offering Spanish to all students.
Having a high concentration of smart kids is the reason for their gifted clusters program. "Which means we have a high number of our school that is gifted. And a lot of my teachers are gifted certified," said White. @
Once applications are turned in. Students are given tests. "It's just a screening that we do. Because we do have academic requirements they have to meet," said White.
Lake park is on the mark for producing well rounded students. No more applications are being accepted for Kindergarten at this time.
And for those students put on a waiting list, more spots could open up this fall. To hear more about Lake Park Elementary call (229) 431-3370.

Jeff Conaway 5.10.1950 - 27.3.2011 (Zack Allan)
It was announced today that actor Jeff Conaway passed away after a short period in an induced coma.
Conaway was a rare actor, not just known for one successful role and a multitude of others, but had three major successes.
Perhaps most famously he played Kinickie alongside Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in Grease, followed by a three year stint in the successful comedy Taxi, playing Bobby Wheeler. (He was fired from the show for drug abuse after his third year)
On the SF front he claimed his third role, playing Sergeant Zack Allan in Babylon 5. Apparently being one of those actors who did not need to work, thanks to the income for Grease but when it was known he was a fan of the series he was offered the role of Allan as a one off. His enthusiasm for the show was such that he just stuck around right to the end!
It seems that he was popular with all the people he worked with, marrying Olivia Newton Johns sister (and divorcing later). He had a long ongoing drug problem, a battle he had fought his whole life. Many of his co-stars stood by him, Travolta doing his best to help Conaway with his addictions; while Tony Danza and Marilu Henner kept vigil through his last days.
Conaway was found unconscious in his Apartment on 11th May having suffered an apparent drug overdose, it has been claimed that it was medication that aspirated into his lung, that led to pneumonia and sepsis.
He was placed in an induced coma in order for his body to fight the illnesses, but never woke up. His family had life support switched off in the early hours of the 26th May, and he passed away the next day.
He becomes the third main Babylon 5 cast member to pass away at a far too young age, joining Andreas Katsulas - G'Kar (cancer, 59 years) and Richard Biggs - Stephen Franklin (Heart failure (44 years)

Jeff Conway has died at the age of 60. Although he was in a fair few films, I will always remember him in his role in Babylon 5.

RIP Jeff. Sad to see another good one go.
Nice obit Perpetual Man, but you forgot Tim Choate. He appeared in four episodes as Zathras, and he died in September 2004 less than a month before his 50th birthday.

Re: Jeff Conaway 5.10.1950 - 27.3.2011 (Zack Allan)
Once upon a time I remember a show called Wizards and Warriors and he was the star of it. It ran for only one season. Maybe I am looking back with rose tinted glasses, but I loved it. RIP Jeff.

Re: Jeff Conaway 5.10.1950 - 27.3.2011 (Zack Allan)
I watched the decline of Jeff's health on the show Celebrity Rehab. It was sad to see that he needed help badly, and to watch his worthless girl friend just hang him for money. She smuggled in drugs for him one day, he was half concious after taking them and had to be rushed to a hospital to save his life. I began to suspect she was trying to kill him in order to get his money, this made me think of two friends who died from an overdose which was caused by strong drugs given to them by women who they thought loved them.
I knew it was only a matter of time when Mr Conaway would meet his death, years of drug abuse have ravaged his body.

Series Notes
I consider the "Tree of Life" idea and its visual motifs as an important subset of "Ecological Order". Each painting in the "Tree of Life" series is a different experiment with mixed media, and a different treatment of the subject. There are several ecological and bioscience themes running through the paintings in the series. A prominent theme is evolution, and our common molecular heritage (DNA and RNA). Tree of Life 1 , 3 , and 6 incorporate an evolution and DNA subject. The tree represents the web of life, and the evolutionary and ecological connectivity of the species on earth. Evolutionary connections and ecological connections are inextricably linked through natural selection, the formation of ecological niches, and through various ways that life forms have remodeled the Chemistry of the Earth. In other paintings in the series the role of trees as ecological regulators is explored. Trees play an important role in maintaining the interconnected fabric of life. Mixed media textured dimensional approaches are used to create form and tree symbolism, and to evoke presence and absence in many of the paintings. Three-dimensional textural presence is often juxtaposed with ghostly transparency or colors that usually denote negative spaces. The combination of two disparate visual ideas intimates at the role and state of trees and vegetation in the modern world. These life forms are critical to our survival. They maintain the ecological balance and keep the fabric of life on Earth from unraveling. At the same time their own ability to survive and thrive has been challenged by changes in our environment. The series includes some ink drawings that abstract tree structures, and function as studies.

Jermaine Jackson Stuck In Africa After Passport Is Confiscated Due To Unpaid Child Support
Posted on Sat Jan 8, 2011 10:37 AM PDT
He's already lost his driver's license, and now X17 has exclusively learned Jermaine Jackson's passport has also been confiscated, leaving him stranded in Africa with no way back to the US ... unless he forks over $91,921 in unpaid child support.
The singer's passport was recovered by immigration authorities in Burkina Faso at the request of the US after officials noticed he'd left the country, headed in that direction. To make matters worse, the passport was expired at the US won't renew it until he pays his baby mama the money he owes.
To recap: Jermaine married Alejandra after she already dated and had two children with Jermaine's brother, Randy. Jermaine and Alejandra then wed and had two kids, and no one seems to want to pay for them. Katherine can't foot the bill any longer, so Alejandra has reportedly threatened to write a tell-all book about the Jackson's, since she and her kids have been recently evicted from the Encino compound.
A source close to the situation tells X17online exclusively:
- "She is threatening to expose the family with her tell-all book, but there's nothing she knows that's not out there already. What is she going to write about, sleeping with two of the Jackson brothers? She's had a free ride for 18 years and everyone's been good to her. By writing this book, she'll only make herself look bad."
We've also learned Katherine Jackson tried very hard to organize a new living space for Alejandra before she was kicked out, but the baby mama turned her nose up at the spread. Our source tells us:
- "Katherine worked so hard picking out furniture for the condo she arranged for Alejandra and her grandchildren. She loves her grandchildren and she doesn't want to put them thorough this. She had the condo all set up, and Alejandra was going to receive $3000 a month from the estate to help her out, but the condo wasn't good enough. She told Katherine it was too small and she didn't want to live there. She wants to stay in the Encino home. She's put up such a fight, eviction papers had to be served or she'd never leave. Now she has no condo, no monthly payout, and she's on her own. We think she took an advance for her tell-all book from a publishing company, so she could get some quick cash for a new place to live."
Here's an idea for Jermaine: sell the Rolls Royce Phantom! You'll be back to the US in time to catch up with the rest of your brother's preliminary hearing.
We hope Jermaine can get his finances in order sooner rather than later!

For The Register-Herald
Over the years, high school wrestling has used various methods in determining a match winner in case of a tie. After many trial years of using methods from a referee's decision to some type of rule book criteria, I think they now have the fairest way to determine a winner.
If the score is tied at the end of the regulation match, wrestlers are placed in a neutral one-minute period. The first wrestler to score, wins. If the score is still tied, the wrestlers will go to two 30-second tie breakers, one starting on the bottom and switching to top position the next round.
If the score is still tied, they will go to the ultimate tie breaker. The wrestler who scored the first point in the match will have a choice of top or bottom for 30 seconds. If the top man holds his opponent down, he wins. Most coaches I have talked to agree this is the fairest way to determine a winner.
Two state championship matches which might have had different outcomes if today's rules applied were held in 1958 and 1959 in the unlimited class.
In 1958, Beckley's Duke James and Parkersburg's George Nedeff wrestled to a 2-2 tie in the heavyweight championship bout. Nedeff was declared the winner by a referee's decision. Believe me, this is not a position any referee wants to be in.
In 1959, Nedeff returned to the finals to defend his title against Bob Delorenzo of Fairmont. Delorenzo won the finals after two overtime periods by a score of 4-2.
Nedeff went on to wrestle and coach at West Virginia University. He also wrote the book, "The Emergence of High School Wrestling in West Virginia."
Delorenzo became a successful coach and referee and was elected to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2006. Nedeff received the same recognition in 2008.
James went on to wrestle at the Naval Academy. After serving a stint in the Navy, he refereed and coached in the Virginia Beach area.

and it's also true that I lost the map
First of all, if you're actually visiting fussy.org and not reading this through a feed reader, you'll have noticed two new badges up in the sidebar. One is for The Popcorn Whisperer, the weekly movies-and-TV column I'm doing for Babble, where so far I have covered such pertinent subjects as The Smurfs Movie, Midnight in Paris, The Silence of the Lambs, Jaws, and a round-up of TV dads illustrated with hand-drawn Venn diagrams. The other badge in my sidebar leads you to Faking It With Mrs. Kennedy, the weekly current events column I'm doing for The Stir. So far I've written two things there: "Which world leader is the angriest THIS week?" and a thing about Andy Rooney retiring, and it seems I'm trying to become the next Gail Collins. The learning curve is steep, but I may finally have learned to balance serious news and irony by around 2013. If they don't fire me before then, I'll keep you posted on my progress.
You may also notice that my hair is two different lengths in my two sidebar masthead badges. This is because one photo is newer than the other, and reflects the fact that my hair, like the times, it is a-changin'. Yes, I am once again taking daily photos of my hair's progress but I'm doing it secretly, using an app called Everyday, which means that eventually I'll be able to post one of those movies of my head where the background keeps changing and I'm slowly growing a beard. Although as hard as I have tried, beard growth still eludes me, I've had some success with head growth. I'm finding it's easier to do without the daily scrutiny of the Internet, however.
Crazily and on short notice, I flew to New York last week to shoot a video with Alice, M.J. Tam (who I kept calling DJ Tam, like she was toting a crate full of vinyl to the club), and one other secret special person sitting in a hot room with three cameras on us while we had a series of occasionally disturbing and amusing conversations sponsored by Clorox. Clorox scared up a nice lunch for us, too, and put me up in a decent hotel that happened to be a block-and-a-half away from the Carnegie Deli. (Did you know that the Carnegie Deli is open from 6:30 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. every day? I don't know what they do with their 90 minutes of down time. Maybe they have a Bleach Break™.)
So I flew into New York on Sunday, we did the shoot on Monday, and on Tuesday morning I was flying back to California but I didn't hear my alarm go off because I'd been up too late the night before*, but I magically awoke at 7:11 a.m. Since my ride to the airport was leaving at 7:45, I threw on some clothes and ran to Seventh Avenue.
*Jackson, who was home with a babysitter because Jack has an ongoing gig Monday nights in L.A., was having trouble going to sleep, so he sent me a series of sad text messages without really thinking through the whole three-time-zones-away thing. And really, when you're ten years old and you miss your mom, you don't care that she has to get up in less than six hours to catch a plane to come back to you.
I had promised Jack I'd buy him a t-shirt from the Carnegie Deli, but while I was there I got another idea.
Jack is the only person I know who would actually entertain the idea of a pickle-scented candle. But instead, while they were digging for a shirt in Jack's size, I asked the hostess if she thought I could get through airport security with a cheesecake.
"Oh, sure, people do it all the time," she said. "They're frozen." She had a Jamaican accent. She pointed to the deli counter behind me. "Ask him, he'll get one for you."
They had three sizes of cheesecake. The large was the size of my entire carry-on bag; the medium was the size of my laptop bag; but the small was just right.
I'm not sure I've ever seen my husband as happy as he was when I pulled a cheesecake out of my purse.
For Jackson I brought back something fuzzy and green from the J. Crew sale rack:
Hello, nerd boyfriend.

The recent hack against a database full of FTP passwords held by Web hosting firm DreamHost highlights a growing database breach trend that's seeing password stores exposed by the boatload. Though these databases contain sensitive authentication information, they're often left far less protected than databases containing PII. Experts warn that if organizations are truly serious about their security and compliance programs, they need to either find better ways to secure the passwords in the databases they're distributed across the network, or look for alternatives that will ditch this method of storage altogether.
First brought to light last week, the DreamHost breach exposed FTP credentials of all its shared hosting accounts when hackers broke into a database that contained a legacy table storing passwords in plain text.
"This particular breached database contained customer credentials to the FTP server. This allows potential hackers to use these credentials in order to impersonate customers when accessing the FTP server," says Noa Bar-Yosef, senior security strategist at Imperva, "the impact of which is to access customer documents, download the documents and even upload their own documents."
According to Bar-Yosef, in addition to following ground rule No. 1 of database security — know where your data resides — DreamHost clearly failed to follow some best practices for password storage within the database.
"To secure user passwords, companies need to put in a strong password policy as well as digesting the passwords before encryption. Hackers are notorious for breaking encrypted passwords very quickly. The point here is to make their job more difficult," she says. "This includes not only the banning of common passwords, but also banning keyboard sequences. Using passphrases instead of passwords is also a good practice since they provide the necessary length to prevent effective brute-forcing of passwords."
Meanwhile, Bar-Yosef believes most organizations need to up their game when it comes to encrypting passwords. Simple encryption is not enough.
"Hackers employ techniques such as rainbow tables to find the original passwords," she says. "However, salted digests -- i.e., a random value added to each password -- make the hacker's task of breaking the passwords much more difficult."
However, some authentication experts argue that the conversation about password storage in databases should be taken to another level beyond doling out best practices advice. They say that these breaches could be prevented by avoiding storing these passwords in unsecured, distributed databases in the first place.
"Our perspective is to get rid of the whole concept of passwords in databases from day one," says offer Adam Bosnian, executive vice president of Cyber-Ark Software, a privileged identity management firm. "Put a secure credential management system on the front end, and all of this goes away."
Bosnian says that developers tend to reinvent the identity management wheel every time they spit out an app, essentially hard-coding password management into their middleware and storing passwords hari kari in unsecured databases that are difficult to centrally manage and secure.
This kind of decentralization can prove dangerous for organizations, says Leonid Shtilman, CEO of Viewfinity, another privileged identity management company.
"Those accounts are actually hidden from the IT manager's standard tracked list of administrative accounts managed by Active Directory and can be used by malware to install malicious software on local computers through the 'local' administrator account," Shtilman says. "Further penetration into the IT environment is then accessible by capturing passwords, including passwords for access to critical data. It is essential that IT security and operations managers have a method for mitigating this risk."
According to Phil Lieberman, CEO of Lieberman Software, a privileged identity management company, the tools exist to address this problem. The real issue is making anyone care enough to deploy them.
"Web applications use a stack of middleware that contains sensitive credentials as well as database credentials that are generally not proactively managed. This situation is a result of both a lack of resources and skill to manage the password change process," says Lieberman, who explains his firm has been refining technology to automate credentials in middleware stacks for the better part of a decade. "IT admins and database administrators neither get rewarded nor penalized for the poor management of credentials, and senior management frequently has no idea what middleware is, and even fewer understand what connection strings are, as well as how they contain credentials and how these need to be managed."
Even when an organization buys into a platform, they still may see passwords scattered with the winds if the developers aren't on board. It's a problem that Bosnian's customers see even after they've deployed, as the developers for every department have to be retrained to use the identity management platform their business has already paid for.
"The app development teams keep putting hard-coded credentials in the system because the two sides haven't connected yet," he says. "They have to create a mandate from the top to say, 'Thou shalt use the tool we already have to make sure this stuff doesn't happen.'"

The One-O-One is a series of dedicated posts addressing how
integration can help innovate on existing optimisation methods
across Natural Search, Paid Search and Social Media and improve
overall campaign success. As such, we will be parsing through
some of the key topics involving strategy development, campaign
planning and implementation, and performance analysis and
Why does the One-O-One exist?
Because digital marketing disciplines have been developed in
silo and so have its best practises. As we move to a more
collaborative environment where channel integration offers
competitive advantage to marketers willing to take that step, the
arsenal of best practise guidelines must reflect this new
approach. In the One-O-One we will highlight how traditional
channel-specific methodologies can be adapted to successfully work
hand-in-hand with an integrated approach and help maximise the
return from overall digital marketing investment.
What does the One-O-One cover?
It generally covers methods currently applied by marketers at
the planning, implementation and review phases of a campaign but
with a twist. This twist essentially explains how current
best practises and methods can be modified or supplemented to
incorporate insight from other channels to refine its outputs and
improve their effectiveness. Our aim is to consider the main
pain points of digital marketers today and propose solutions to
either eradicate them altogether or at the very least make them
less painful.
When is the One-O-One published?
It is published on a monthly basis as a planned series to give
us enough time to prepare insights of quality and value.
However, as it is often the case, new topics of interest emerging
in the media or requests from our readers may trigger additional
posts that would increase the frequency of publishing to
fortnightly. Any topic suggestions or requests for comment
can be emailed through our Contact Us form (just ensure to put
One-O-One in the subject).

Nashua shelter's success means no deaths
"A good winter is when no one freezes to death, and, to my knowledge, no one has this year," said Lisa Christie, executive director of the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter. Nashua police confirm there have been no such deaths this year.
"The services we provide absolutely save lives," said Carol Furlong, vice president of services for Harbor Homes.
Combined, the three homeless shelters in a city with over 80,000 residents offer just over 100 beds.
"In the winter time, we usually are over capacity, which is also true of the other shelters in the community. Normally, we have 25 beds, but in the wintertime we have had well over 30 people stay the night. We will put mats on the floor; we will do whatever we have to do. Men and women are separated, and we have a family unit for one family," Furlong said.
Harbor Homes, open since 1982, also provides a clinic, the Harbor Care Health and Wellness Center.
"The medical care is critically important, and this time of year we do see some cold weather injuries. But what we see the most is just basic medical needs gone undiagnosed and untreated because the person is homeless," Furlong said.
Along with private donations, Harbor Homes receives some city funding. However, Furlong said that most of the $8.2 million operating budget comes from the federal government.
On the other end of the spectrum is the Southern New Hampshire Rescue Mission, a nonprofit organization whose entire operating budget comes from private donations.
"We can hold 45 people, and we only take men over the age of 18, and we have been at the limit recently, stretched right out to the 45 mark," Rescue Mission interim operations director Larry Byrd said.
A faith-based organization open for the last 10 years and operating a shelter for five, the mission also operates programs providing small meals and clothing to those in need. Byrd said the food program, with food donations from local churches, serves 30 to 100 people daily.
Associated with the Gospel Rescue Mission, Byrd said mission is always looking for donations of food, clothes or cash, and that most clothes donated are redistributed within 48 hours.
"Since right around Christmas, our requests for clothing donations have probably tripled," Byrd said.
Along with providing a homeless shelter and soup kitchen, the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter also participates in the Burlington Coat Factory One Warm Coat program.
"We give out a lot of coats, hats, gloves, and mittens. A lot of times people bring their kids, and sometimes they will come and not have a coat," Christie said.
During the recent cold snap, she said, "we gave out more coats than normal, and during the beginning of the winter it wasn't so cold so no one wanted a coat. Then we had this bitter cold, and now it's warming up again, so the weather has been crazy."
Unfortunately, Christie said they no longer take private donations of clothing due to concern over bed bugs.
On a daily average at the soup kitchen, 65 people eat breakfast and 120 come for dinner, Christie said.
The shelter has been open since 1981. She said 75 percent of its funding comes from private contributions, with some money from the city and state.
Christie said the organization's 30 beds are split between two different locations, and that if someone shows up in the middle of the night, even if at capacity, they will take them in.
"We have cots, and we will put them on a couch if we have to," Christie said. "I think we provide critical services to people who don't have food or shelter. It's hard to stay outside too long when it is so cold."

New Castle News
Editor, The News:
A very important event will be taking place in our city on Oct. 7 known as Life Chain.
Many Christians and pro-lifers will stand, praying for the lives of our unborn children and their parents, silently speaking out against abortion.
Many will say it's the mother's right; it's her body. What about the right of the unborn?
The 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees our right to life, but sadly this right is not extended to the unborn. Unless of course a pregnant woman is killed, then charges could be filed against that person for the life of the "fetus."
Ironic, isn't it? It's illegal to commit feticide, which is the killing of an unborn child, yet it's legal to obtain or perform an abortion, which is also the killing of an unborn child.
Many that are pro-choice will claim that if abortion becomes illegal, women will seek "back alley" abortions. Well here's a little secret, they already exist. Unlicensed physicians are performing abortions. Untrained staff is administering powerful drugs. Babies are being born alive through botched abortions, then are left to die or worse killed, even though there are laws to protect them.
In 1992, 1,239 people stood on the streets of downtown New Castle on Life Chain Sunday. Sadly the numbers have been declining. Last year, 132 stood proud. With approximately 67 churches in this city, that accounts for less than 2 representatives from each church. That's a shame.
Abortion makes a statement about life. It says: our value is determined by others and not by God. It says: We are disposable. Jesus says: We are made for the heights of heaven.
Am I a Christian? Yes I am. Am I pro-life? You betcha, and I will proudly stand. How about others?

Club Med was the pioneer in the concept of "all inclusive" vacations, starting out in the fifties as a real-club tent-village on a Mediterranean beach. Much has changed as Club Med has worldscaled and upscaled to over 90 resorts in 40 countries, but still some core features remain the same. Such as:
- G.M.'s and G.O.'s: the most unique thing about Club Med is that instead of "staff", Club Med resorts have "Gracious Organizers" who mix with guests (and will soon be your kids' best friends)
- location: because of its early start in the resort game, Club Med often has the best spot on the beach
- signature features -- you'll se several in the following pages
- international clientele: you may hear French, Spanish, Portuguese... (less so at the resorts nearest to the US, of course.)
--continue to G.M.'s and G.O.'s...

Thread: Man Shoots Burglary Suspect
Man Shoots Burglary Suspect
James Jackson shares the frustration and fight-back attitude many Detroiters feel as crime invades their neighborhoods."We basically live in a war zone now," said Jackson, a former Detroit cop and president of the Jefferson-Chalmers Homeowners Association. "We are fighting drug dealers and B&E men. People are up against their wits' end."
Jackson's comments Wednesday came as another east-sider, Tigh Croff, 31, was arraigned in court on a second-degree murder charge.
Croff, a licensed gun owner, is accused of chasing Herbert Silas and fatally shooting him after finding Silas in his backyard. Croff reportedly told police that his home had been broken into three times before the shooting early Monday.
Matthew Wylie, who lives next door to Croff in the 9800 block of Manistique, remembers when his neighborhood was family oriented. These days, he said, "it's like an every-man-for-himself kind of thing."
Croff told police that his home had been broken into three times recently. Police said Wednesday that Croff filed a break-in report on Dec. 19. No one was at Croff's home Wednesday. A sign on the front door instructed people to use a side door to "Tight Cuts Barber Shop & Salon."
Within a half-mile radius of his home, there have been 35 crimes reported from Nov. 24 to Dec. 23, according to a police online mapping tool. Ten of the crimes, including one on Manistique, were burglaries.
Police said Silas, who was unarmed, stopped running in the 9800 block of Philip as Croff chased him. Silas turned around, put his hands up and, according to a police source, told Croff: "What are you going to do? Shoot me?"
"Absolutely," Croff told investigators he responded. Silas was hit once in the chest.

Word of changes at Navistar wasn't entirely unexpected. More than 500 jobs leaving Wakarusa? That information was a surprise.
"There have been rumblings they were going to sell," Wakarusa Town Manager Jeff Troxel said Friday afternoon. "As far as the moving of the purchase to somewhere else, that was news. ...Obviously, we didn't want to see that happening."
Navistar Inc. officials announced Thursday that Allied Specialty Vehicles (ASV) had purchased Navistar RV assets. The sale includes the manufacturing operations for Monaco and Holiday Rambler brand RVs in Wakarusa and for Navistar's R-Vision and Holiday Rambler towable units in Harrisburg, Ore. ASV has also entered into a multi-year leasing agreement for Navistar RV's Elkhart facility.
Company officials said manufacturing operations in Wakarusa will be moved to ASV's Decatur, Ind., campus, a shift that will impact 520 local workers.
No additional orders will be accepted at the Wakarusa plant moving forward, though the company plans to honor all existing orders — a plan which will likely keep the Wakarusa facility operating until approximately August.
According to ASV, Wakarusa employees will have the option of applying for positions at ASV's Decatur campus, 22 miles south of Fort Wayne, once the transition is finalized.
Troxel sounds optimistic about both the Navistar facility and the workers affected by the sale.
"I'm fairly confident someone is going to purchase that building," he said.
Troxel said the site includes a state-of-the-art painting facility and a fantastic office area.
"The building is pretty big," Troxel said. "I would think somebody would want that."
As for those Navistar workers who don't want to move to Decatur, Troxel feels whoever buys the Navistar facility will likely have jobs for them.
Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of Economic Development Corp. of Elkhart County, said the news was also a surprise to her.
She said she expects Wakarusa to secure a new occupant for the Navistar facility, but in the meantime, the EDC is working with WorkOne to assist Navistar employees prepare to look for new jobs.
"We have RV corporations who are trying to find quality workers," Heiden-Guss said. "We would hope many of these employees from Navistar would be able to find other positions in the county due to the upswing in the RV market."

in Chinese calligraphy, a style that may have originated in the brush writing of the later Zhou and Qin dynasties (c. 300-200 BC); it represents a more informal tradition than the zhuanshu ("seal script"), which was more suitable for inscriptions cast in the ritual bronzes. While examples of lishu from the 3rd century BC have been discovered, the script type was most widely used in the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Though somewhat square and angular, with strong emphasis on the horizontal strokes, the lishu is a truly calligraphic script type, making full use of the flexible brush to modulate the thickness of the line. Many Han examples survive, written with a brush on bamboo slips or carved in stone. Characters were approximately uniform in size and evenly spaced within a composition, but the construction of characters and individual strokes varied greatly. At the end of the Han dynasty the lishu developed into the more supple and fluent kaishu.

Badgers will not be culled on land owned by council (From Daily Echo)

County council rules out badger cull on land owned by Hampshire
Updated 10:53am Wednesday 25th September 2013 in News By Joe Curtis, Health Reporter
LEAVE our badgers alone.
That was the message from Hampshire councillors who overwhelmingly backed a motion to ban badger culling on county-owned land.
It comes after pilot culls have been launched to destroy 5,000 badgers in Somerset and Gloucestershire to curb the spread of Bovine TB in cattle.
Lib Dem councillor Rupert Kyrle put forward the motion at a full council meeting in Winchester.
His motion argued that culling was not a proven solution to the TB problem and that more research was needed for vaccinations.
After the vote, Cllr Kyrle, who represents Botley and Hedge End, said: "This is a great day for badgers in Hampshire. We all want to see a real solution to prevent the spread of bovine TB across our countryside, but it is not right that badgers should be singled out in this way.
"We must protect our countryside, and that includes the species that make it their home."
The number of recorded cases of TB in cows is steadily increasing, with seven cases in 2009, 12 in 2010, 19 in 2011, 21 in 2012 and 33 as of June 2013. No trace has been found in Hampshire badgers.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) does not know how many badgers there are in Hampshire, but it is thought there are 250,000 nationwide.
But Sandra Nichols, county adviser for the National Farmers' Union (NFU), said the problem was not serious enough yet to warrant a cull.
She said: "It's highly unlikely we will see badger culling in Hampshire, because the numbers are not high enough and herd restriction controls will help to keep incidents low.
"If the worst comes to the worst we would support a cull, because we have to get a handle on this disease."
Susannah Mannerings, who runs Attwoods Drove dairy farm in Compton, near Winchester, slammed the council's decision.
She said: "It's a cowardly way out and a waste of time, because no one is even thinking of a cull in this area yet.
If badgers did have TB they have to be culled."
Meanwhile, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is trying to raise £45,000 for badger vaccinations on 40 setts across 16 nature reserves by 2014.
Hampshire wildlife expert Chris Packham has also criticised culling as "shameful".

They get recompensed for destroyed cattle so have no financial incentive to behave properly.

Dresnez says...
They say that badgers are responsible for bovine TB, but only 1.7% of badgers carry the disease. They also say that bovine TB decimating our herds. To decimate would suggest that 10% of cattle are culled, but only 0.5% of the National herd are slaughtered annually.
Compensation is paid to the farmer and the animal still goes into the food chain, demonstrating the hypocrisy in the claim that bovine TB is a significant risk to human health. Also there are bovine TB outbreaks in areas where there are no badgers. More research is needed into farming methods.

A lot of beaten down stocks in the tech sectors have seen renewed interest off late. Be it Web 2.0 companies like Facebook , Groupon and Zynga or hardware companies like Research in Motion, Nokia and Dell. I have already covered Research in Motion and Nokia in a previous article. In this article I will be focusing on Web 2.0 companies: Facebook, Groupon and Zynga.
Facebook: Improving mobile monetization is the key
Facebook's share price saw its bottom in early September at $17.55. The stock is recovering since then and is at ~$27.50 now. First catalyst for this share price recovery was Mark Zuckerberg's comment at Techcrunch conference where he said that mobile would make more money for the company than desktop in the long term. After that the company reported good quarterly numbers beating estimates with mobile business showing exceptional growth. It appears like things are going in the right direction for the company and its prospects continue to improve. The company is on a path to continue doing better than consensus estimates with further monetization of mobile news feed inventory and new business opportunities from introduction of Facebook exchange. The company is also likely to see multiple expansion as investors become more confident about the company's prospects. I find the risk reward profile for the stock attractive at current levels.
Groupon: Low valuation makes it an attractive buyout candidate
Groupon is currently trading at a forward PE of 17.27x. The company posted its first profitable quarter in the current year and is expected to post 41% EPS growth next year according to consensus estimates. Things continues to get less worse for Groupon and a lot of smart hedge fund managers seems to be entering the stock. Chase Coleman's Tiger Fund recently disclosed a 9.9% ownership stake in the company with 65 million shares. The company had been under attack from short sellers ever since its IPO and some have referred to it even as a Ponzi scheme.
Although I do agree that the company's valuation was a bit high at the time of IPO, I do have faith in company's business model. After the year to date correction, the company is now trading at less than half the valuation which Google offered it for a buyout before it went for an IPO. There are rumors in the market that Google might again bid for Groupon. I see there is a good possibility given Groupon's low valuation and synergies it brings to Google. Groupon's customer base of small local businesses would be a key positive for Google to leverage. I believe the stock can see good upside if its business fundamentals continue to improve and/or if it sees a bid from Google.
Zynga: Financials and business fundamentals- both on decline
Zynga is one stock in the above list where I am bearish. The company is consistently seeing top and bottom line declines. The company's EPS is expected to decrease from $0.24 in the last year to $0.03 in the current year according to consensus estimates. Although sell side consensus is expecting a positive EPS for the next year, I remain skeptical and believe that the company can turn red next year. Failure to launch any compelling new games, the end of its contract with Facebook and users losing interest in older games are the key reasons I am bearish on the company's prospect. The recent departure of the company's CFO (Dave Werner) has added more fuel to the fire. I believe the only hope which remains for Zynga's investors is if the company gets acquired given its vast user base and leading position in Social gaming. However, I would not like to bet on it and hence recommend avoiding the stock.
To sum up, Facebook and Groupon are both good buys given their improving fundamental outlook. Groupon is also a good acquisition target. Zynga on the other hand is in a mess with declining financials as well as deteriorating business fundamentals, hence one should avoid it.

Digital Music Workflow
I wanted to work through some problems in my music workflow so I figured I'd write up an extended version of a short previous post that had a few notes. Hopefully this is useful to someone.
Various Artists
Multi-Disc Albums
iTunes Store
Amazon Music Store
Google Play Music and Amazon Cloud Player
To Do
- When I rip a new CD, I have to manually run the ConvertLibrary tool to generate an iTunes-friendly copy; I need to update ConvertLibrary to monitor the folder and run automatically.
- When any new music is added, I have to manually update the NAS copy for the Sonos (or wait for the batch job to run); similar to the first point, this should monitor the folders for changes.
- I don't have a good system for getting appropriate album art. Any recommendations?
- My NAS uses FAT, which means it can't handle Unicode characters in filenames - either need to restrict character set for filenames or figure something else out.
