The Existential Cyclist
During the fall of 1990 I returned home from grad school to visit family and friends. The visit also coincided with the birthday of a friend and one night a bunch of us took him out for dinner at his favorite Italian restaurant. As those evenings go, there was a fair amount of wine and beer. Talk of bicycles turned to talk of motorcycles and one of the guys shared that he had a Harley. Another guy at the table asked a few questions about the hog and it came out that the motorcycle was, at that particular time, in pieces on the floor of his garage. He was in the middle of a rebuild.
"So you don't have a Harley, you have the parts for one," the questioner stated.
It seemed a semantic point to me, but this was the South, and you simply don't tell a good ol' boy that all the parts for a Harley is not the same thing as a Harley. There was shouting. Back and forth. There was a departure.
Later, it occurred to me I'd just witnessed a fight over Existentialism, by two guys who didn't know the term.
I offer that as a backdrop to my next thought:
I've got seven bikes in my garage, two unfinished posts on the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, a whole dresser devoted to cycling clothing and three rides in my legs in the last four weeks. I have no clue if the illness I'm currently suffering is a relapse of the flu I thought I had recovered from just before leaving for NAHBS or something fresh I caught while there. I'm so off, I can't even tell what better is.
What I know is this: I don't currently feel like a cyclist. I'm a month from one of my favorite rides of the year and am questioning the wisdom of even entering the event. Scarier still is that I've been far less disturbed by my inability to ride than by the fact that most days recently, when I sit down at the computer, I can compose nothing more complicated or insightful than an email. This bug has left me in a cognitive haze.
By Existentialist standards, I'm not a cyclist. I'm not much of a writer either (though this existence of this post creates a paradoxical problem in me disproving my existence as a scribe). All my life, the things I hated were things that were. Things that existed. Now, I hate nothing. That seems pretty strange. How do you hate the nothing of not being something? I don't know, except that I do (hate the nothing not riding makes me).

What does LGBT stand for?
LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender
Gay – 1. Term used in some cultural settings to represent males who are attracted to males in a romantic, erotic and/or emotional sense. Not all men who engage in "homosexual behavior" identify as gay, and as such this label should be used with caution. 2. Term used to refer to the LGBTQI community as a whole, or as an individual identity label for anyone who does not identify as heterosexual.
Lesbian – Term used to describe female-identified people attracted romantically, erotically, and/or emotionally to other female-identified people. The term lesbian is derived from the name of the Greek island of Lesbos and as such is sometimes considered a Eurocentric category that does not necessarily represent the identities of African-Americans and other non-European ethnic groups. This being said, individual female-identified people from diverse ethnic groups, including African-Americans, embrace the term 'lesbian' as an identity label.
Bisexual – A person emotionally, physically, and/or sexually attracted to males/men and females/women. This attraction does not have to be equally split between genders and there may be a preference for one gender over others.
Transgender – A person who lives as a member of a gender other than that expected based on anatomical sex. Sexual orientation varies and is not dependent on gender identity. Sometimes used as an umbrella term for any gender variant experience that crosses gender lines.
Homophobia – The irrational fear or hatred of homosexuals, homosexuality.It is this fear that enforces sexism as well as heterosexism.
Queer - A reclaimed word that was formerly used solely as a slur but that has been semantically overturned by members of the maligned group, who use it as a term of defiant pride. For decades 'queer' was used solely as a derogatory adjective for gays and lesbians, but in the 1980s the term began to be used by gay and lesbian activists as a term of self-identification. Eventually, it came to be used as an umbrella term that included gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, intersex persons, the radical sex communities, and many other sexually transgressive explorers.

CJ Group filed a formal complaint with the police against an employee of Samsung C&T Corp., a construction and trade unit of the country's biggest chaebol group Thursday afternoon after putting out a scathing press release. CJ Group said a 42-year-old man working for Samsung C&T is suspected of following its chairman Lee Jay-hyun since late last week.
"We expressed deep regret over the trailing incident, and surveillance should not be tolerated under any circumstances in a free society," CJ Group said in a statement. "Furthermore, it is hard to understand why Samsung, a top-ranked global firm, has committed this act."
The conflict came as a shock not least because CJ Group is not a stranger to Samsung Group. The two conglomerates share a corporate history that goes back to Lee Byung-chull, who founded the towering chaebol.
CJ Group demanded a formal apology from Samsung, which denied any wrongdoing and stressed the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding.

Have used this product for years. It is different than other liquid iron supplements and its the BComplex and herbs that are mixed with it. i notice the effects of this product within an hour. i dont take it everyday but 2-3 times a week is plenty. Glad its still around
October 22, 2011
worst taste ever!
Although I would never expect liquid B to actually taste GOOD, I never thought it could taste this BAD! As soon as I opened the bottle I gagged. I won't be graphic and note what happend once I tasted it....but the same thing happened when my husband tried it. Needless to say it has been dumped down the drain and the botttle went into recycle.

Glad It's in Liquid Form!
The older I get, the more I like my vitamins in liquid form. This product fits the bill. Although its taste reminds of the medicine I had to take as a child, I'm glad its available. Now, if only it was available in a larger, value-priced size!

Omaha Public Schools Superintendent Mark Evans called a proposal to hold back third-graders who struggle with reading too "simplistic" at a luncheon Thursday.
During a question-and-answer session at the Omaha Press Club, a veteran teacher asked Evans his thoughts on State Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh's plan to introduce a bill that would require schools to retain third-graders who aren't reading at grade level.
Evans said research hasn't supported that approach.
"It's been done across the United States at times," he said. "But if you look a little deeper into the analysis and data, most states that have done that don't do it for very long because it didn't give them the results they thought it would."
"If it was that simplistic, folks, we would have all done it a long time ago," he said.
Last year, 14 states, including Iowa, passed third-grade reading requirement laws that typically require students to demonstrate proficiency in reading or pass a state test, or face reading interventions or being held back.
Evans said basing a student's grade promotion on one reading test is too reductive.
"If you're making it on one data point, the research is abundantly clear: You've probably destined that young person to be a drop-out by doing that," he said.

In October, defense lawyers for accused Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] against Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen [BBC profile] for interfering with the UN-backed war crimes tribunal. Nuon's lawyers accused the prime minister of criminally conspiring to block some of the defense witnesses from testifying [Reuters report] and consequently interfering with his right to a fair trial. In September, the ECCC ordered the trials be split into a series of smaller trials [JURIST report]. The ECCC said that the separation of trials will allow the tribunal to deliberate more quickly [press release] in the case against the elderly defendants. The first trial will focus on the beginning two phases of population movement and allegations of crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution not on religious grounds and forced disappearances associated with the first phases of population movement. Subsequent trials will focus on the third phase of population movement, genocide, persecution based on religious grounds and violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 [ICRC backgrounder].
The ICC has been heavily involved in prosecuting crimes against humanity in Africa. In December the ICC urged international cooperation [JURIST report] in executing arrest warrants for suspects accused in the Darfur conflict [ICC materials]. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir [ICC materials; JURIST news archive] is currently at-large and faces seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity as well as three charges of genocide [JURIST reports]. Also in December, former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo [BBC profile] was brought into custody and appeared before the ICC [JURIST report] to face charges of murder, persecution, inhumane acts, and rape and other forms of sexual violence allegedly committed during 2010's post-election violence [JURIST news archive] in the Ivory Coast. In November the ICC indicated that it would allow Libya to conduct the trial of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi [JURIST report], son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi [BBC profile], despite concerns over whether he could possibly receive a fair trial. In August the ICC concluded its first war crimes trial [JURIST report], the trial of Democratic Republic of Congo militia leader Thomas Lubanga [ICC materials; BBC profile] for enlisting child soldiers and committing large-scale human rights abuses in Congo's violent Ituri district. In June Kenya appealed [JURIST report] the ICC's refusal to transfer two cases against high-ranking Kenyan officials for their alleged involvement in the violence after the 2007 Kenyan elections [JURIST news archive]. The Kenyan men facing charges in the ICC, the "Ocampo Six," are accused of inciting violence after the 2007 Kenyan elections which resulted in more than 1,100 deaths, 3,500 injuries, hundreds of rapes and up to 600,000 individuals being forcibly displaced.
The judgment against Chevron was upheld in January by a three-judge panel of the Provincial Court of Justice of Sucumbios in Lago Agrio, Ecuador. The $18 billion fine, one of the largest in the history of environmental contamination suits, was originally set at $8.6 billion [JURIST report] but was more than doubled for Chevron's refusal to pay "moral reparations" to the Ecuadorian government, as required by the original ruling. The Amazon Defense Coalition [advocacy website], plaintiffs in the suit, have responded that the first judgment was a reaffirmation of how Chevron's greed and criminal misconduct in dumping billions of gallons of toxic waste into the river has led to death and disease. Damages were initially awarded in February by the Provincial Court of Justice of Sucumbios which found that Texaco, which was acquired by Chevron in 2001, polluted large areas of the country's rain forest.
We note that our decision does not signal the death knell of the City's efforts, if it wishes to pursue them, to restrict access of registered sex offenders to the City's public libraries. ... Like the Supreme Court, we "generally will not strike down a governmental action" for failure to leave open adequate alternative channels of communication "unless the government enactment will foreclose an entire medium of public expression across the landscape of a particular community or setting.
US courts have seen numerous constitutional challenges to laws placing restrictions on sex offenders. In August, the American Civil Liberties filed a complaint in federal court seeking to block a Louisiana law that limits Internet use for registered sex offenders [JURIST report]. In May 2010, the US Supreme Court ruled that mentally ill sex offenders may be civilly committed [JURIST report] beyond their prison sentences. The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled [JURIST report] in May 2009 that local ordinances prohibiting convicted sex offenders from living near schools, playgrounds, and other public areas were preempted by the state's Megan's Law and, therefore, invalid. In March 2009, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that a South Carolina law requiring convicted first degree sex offenders to submit to a DNA test and pay $250 in processing fees prior to their release does not violate the ex post facto clause of the Constitution [JURIST report]. A judge in the US District Court for the Eastern District of California ruled in February 2009 that the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006 (SORNA), which makes it a federal crime for a sex offender to attempt to move to another state [JURIST report] while failing to register in a nationwide database, is unconstitutional.
The ramifications of this change on the people of DPRK, and on neighboring countries will only unfold in the comings days and months. However, I am hoping that the new leadership in DPRK will use the change in leadership as an opportunity to engage with the international community and secure global confidence. The world is eagerly looking at DPRK to see what lies ahead, and hoping that the authorities will take measures to improve the human rights situation of the people of DPRK.
Darusman criticized North Korea's human rights record in November, focusing on the treatment of prisoners and echoing a UN General Assembly [official website] resolution [text] concerning the country's human rights conditions. In March 2010 the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] adopted a resolution condemning [JURIST report] North Korea for human rights abuses. Earlier in March, the UN Special Rapporteur for North Korea, Vitit Muntarbhorn reported to the UNHRC that North Korean human rights situation was continuing to deteriorate [JURIST report]. This report came after Muntarbhorn's previous criticism, in October, 2009, of North Korea's "abysmal" [JURIST report] and ongoing human rights violations, alleging that the authoritarian government was responsible for various abuses, including torture, public executions, extensive surveillance, media censorship, women's rights violations and widespread hunger.

My daughter, Melissa (name changed to protect identity and relationship), is a college student who lives off campus. The house she is renting is simple, practical and within walking distance to grounds—real estate people would gush that it has great personality and a pretty face.
But in truth, it's no different than every other college-town rental. Those contracts might as well be signed with the Grim Reaper's scythe. Before the ink dries, the house has given up the ghost: doors swell, paint chips, faucets leak, smells emerge and money disappears.
Melissa was home for a recent weekend because she misses me and my MasterCard terribly. She left here after Sunday dinner and called when I expected her to get there, around 8pm. Because I have a habit of writing notes whenever I'm on the phone, I pieced together the following.
8:15 - Melissa, screaming: "AHHHHH! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"
Me: "What's everywhere?!"
Melissa, through sobs: "THEY'RE HOPPING EVERYWHERE! THEY'RE ON MY BED!"
8:30 – After I made sure she was safe, but before I was able to translate her sob-screams, I assumed that Melissa walked in on a rabbit sleepover. But it was far less cute. The antithesis of cute, actually: over the weekend, spider crickets had invaded her bedroom. For those fortunate enough not to be acquainted with the critters, here is a scientific description: brown, long-legged, mutant demon. There were so many of them that when she walked across the room to turn on her lamp, she stepped on one. Barefoot.
9:15 – I stayed on the phone while she walked the aisles of Super Walmart looking for bug bombs and glue boards, which are basically overpriced halved sheets of cardstock paper that's sticky on one side.
9:45 – 9:47: She returned to the house; I listened as she yelled and pummeled a cricket that made the fatal mistake of being near a blunt instrument.
9:48 – Note to self: replace roommate's umbrella.
9:50 – Melissa's two-week old smart phone hit floor after skating off her sweaty face. Second note to self: call Sprint to see if they cover damage due to excessive facial perspiration.
10:00 - Melissa slid three glue boards into her room using a broom, shuffleboard style.
10:30 - Stayed on phone as she tried to sleep on the living room couch.
10:35 - Melissa saw two crickets jump out of her bedroom and into hallway.
10:35:01- Melissa decided to sleep in her car.
We talked until she finally fell asleep, around 1:00am. Five and a half hours later, my cell went off.
Melissa, alert: "I'm going back in. Okay, I'm in. I'm walking slowly. I don't see anything yet. I'm going into my bedroom. Ahhhh, there's one in the hall! Hold on, I'm getting the umbrella. [Thwack] Got him. I'm going into my room now."
Me, on the edge of my pajamas: "This is exciting! Like the Blair Witch Project!"
Melissa: "Not funny. I'm in the room. THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PAPER! I'm going to take a picture to prove it. No, I can't. [I hoped her inability to take a photo was emotional and not mechanical – see 9:50] I'm going to count them – 1, 2, 3, 4 ... there are 22!"
I told Melissa I'd take the day off and drive down to help "take care of business." Every mile brought me closer to her house, and to my inner Terminator. By the time I reached Melissa's local Walmart, I left her this gruff, two-word voicemail: "I'm here." [The Terminator talks like that] I kept my sunglasses on while stocking up on weapons, which included insecticide and Smirnoff Ice. One was the stick; the other, the carrot. Warning: the dialogue gets more hackneyed.
I got to her house and immediately told her to "spray the outside perimeter while I do recon inside." Turning to her room, I muttered, "Party's over, boys"—the crickets were stunned by my intimidating swagger. And the bug bomb Melissa's roommate set off earlier.
After turning her room upside down, I put down fresh glue boards and a container of Damp Rid. Then I gave Melissa the all's clear signal—she cried with appreciation. It's been years since she truly depended on me, and I shamefully thanked the vile insects for letting me be her hero.
My parting words: "I'll be back."

Daytonpolice have a man in custody that they believe is responsible for robbing the downtown Chase Bank branch on Thursday.
Lawrence Twitty, 33, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail at 11:30 a.m. today. Police said he turned himself in after police said they put pressure on his friends and family during the investigation.
He was convicted of theft and sentenced to 11 months in prison for robbing the same bank in April of last year. In that instance he passed a note to a teller demanding money and was seen by witnesses throwing his Chicago Bulls hat and red hooded sweatshirt in the trash.
Thursday morning, a man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt with tattoos on his face robbed the bank, in the Kettering Tower at 40 N. Main St.
"We know now that he is a repeat offender," said Dayton Sgt. Rhonda Williams. "It makes us feel like the community is safer having him locked up."
Twitty is being held without bond pending a charge of felony robbery. He will have an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon.

European shares fall for 3rd day, Carlsberg leads market lower
- Tweet
- Share this
* FTSEurofirst 300 dips 0.2 pct * Carlsberg drops 5.8 pct after results miss * Natixis surges 22.5 pct on restructuring plan By Tricia Wright LONDON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - European shares dipped for a third straight session on Monday, led by Danish brewer Carlsberg after disappointing earnings, and some analysts expected further weakness in the market in the near term. The world's fourth-biggest brewer posted a weaker-than-expected quarterly profit as sales stalled in key market Russia and remained sluggish in western Europe, sending its shares tumbling 5.8 percent. Trading volume in Carlsberg was robust, at almost five times its 90-day daily average. The FTSEurofirst 300 closed down 0.2 percent at 1,159.29, after a lacklustre session with Wall Street closed for President's Day and retreating further from a two-year closing peak of 1,177.79 scaled at the end of January. Trading volume on the index stood at just 68 percent of its 90-day daily average. Some strategists reckoned the recent sell-off was more of a pause than the start of a serious correction, following a rally that has propelled the FTSEurofirst 300 some 22 percent above lows seen last June, and that any dips should be seen as a buying opportunity. "There's every chance that markets could go a little bit lower in the short term," Henk Potts, market strategist at Barclays, said, although he was more confident further out. "I still think in the medium to long term the fundamentals remain incredibly supportive around corporate profitability growth, around M&A activity, health of balance sheets, and undemanding valuations." The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index, however, ended up 0.1 percent at 2,616.65. It stabilised after two sessions of losses, which drove it below a support line drawn from its low in July through its trough in November. Charles Stanley technical analyst Bill McNamara said the breach of this support, alongside four thwarted attempts in February to break above the 50-day moving average, at 2,669, indicated that the technical outlook was deteriorating. "I'm not going to take my long positions off or put on any shorts until I see it break below that closing low that was posted on the 7th of this month (the recent intermediate low at 2,597)," he said. Should it breach this, and take out the intermediate high from Sept. 14, at 2,594, "that would amount to compelling evidence that it's entered into a corrective phase", he said. Among bright spots, Natixis jumped 22.5 percent after the French bank said it would simplify its finances by shedding a 20 percent stake in BPCE, a network of cooperative lenders which controls it, paving the way for higher dividends. Trading volume in Natixis totalled almost 14 times its 90-day daily average. The transaction should boost Natixis' regulatory capital under Basel 3 rules, in addition to allowing it to pay back 2 billion euros to shareholders, analysts said. "The transaction makes financial sense via improvement in efficiency and profitability and simplification of group structure while returning significant capital to shareholders," Citi said, lifting its rating for Natixis to "buy".

mj's KDE Utilities |
Introduction |
Some small KDE utilities, see below for further descriptions. Source and binaries can be found here: Release ?.7x binaries have been compiled on RedHat 7.3 running the KDE 3.0.5a RPMs from ftp.kde.org. Release ?.fdr.? binaries have been compiled on Fedora Core 1 running KDE 3.1.4. Release ?.fc2 binaries have been compiled on Fedora Core 2 running KDE 3.2.2. The NEW GnuPG key used to sign new RPM packages can be found here. The old key is still available, too. Stuff upload to ftp.kde.org may still be lingering in the incoming directory. |
kwatch KDE Log File Viewer |
This utility is a port of kwatch 0.3 by Ralph C. Weichert to KDE2/3. Basically it is a tail -f with a graphical KDE user interface for watching log files. Release 2.2 adds support for some basic handling of alert for certain syslog entries: incoming ISDN calls and iptables packet logs. kwatch 2.3.0 now supports KDE 3.0, finally! (There are some slight performance problems, caused by changes in Qt3.) kwatch 2.3.2 now works with KDE / Qt 3.1! See here for the still somewhat basic and outdated documentation.
kdslmon KDE T-DSL Status Monitor |
This utility is a status monitor for PPP connections, in particular T-DSL with PPP over Ethernet, comprising a log window for the connections and a status indicator on the KDE kicker system tray. Not yet publicly released! Stay tuned. ;-) |
ttfmkfontdir mkfontdir for TrueType Fonts |
ttfmkfontdir is a slightly modified version of Jörg Pommnitz' original ttmkfdir, which can be found here. While working with KDE2 I ran into the problem that khtml puts priority on font encoding over font family. Thus, if you've got a web page with charset=utf-8, such as e.g. http://axkit.org/, then khtml will use an X11 font with iso10646-1 encoding such as -misc-console-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-0-iso10646-1 (put into the font path by startkde and ugly beyond hope for web display) even if you've installed all sorts of fine TrueType and Type1 fonts, but only supporting iso-8859-1. Now the good thing is that Microsoft excellent web core fonts come as TrueType fonts with Windows Unicode encoding. Alas, the old ttmkfdir only writes fonts.dir entries with (among others) the iso-8859-X encodings, not with iso10646-1 There are all sorts of ugly hacks to be found on the web to solve this, but I thought that modifying the original ttmkfdir is the better way to do it, hence the birth of ttfmkfontdir (I didn't like the original name too much either ;-). Example usage: cd /usr/local/lib/fonts/ttf ttfmkfontdir -o fonts.dir

- International journalists
- Visit USA Committee members/U.S. Commercial Service delegates

There could be numerous reasons, for example:
- The schedule of the buyer or exhibitor you requested was full.
- There was no interest from the buyer.
- Your schedule did not have an open appointment time that matched an open appointment time on that of the buyer or exhibitor you requested.
- The floor distance was too far for the buyer to travel between appointments.
Once you receive your appointment schedule, you will be able to go back in to ipw.com's Appointment Scheduling area and manually schedule additional appointments where you have open time slots.

My husband & I totally disagree with the two above reviews. We love most British movies, but this one was totally BOARING. After sitting through it for what seemed an eternity, we left the movie. Perhaps it got better, but we could not endure longer. Linda in Plano
Great film, well written, well acted, well edited. And it brings back an embarrassing issue for the U.S. We still don't have equal pay for equal work! And England had it over 40 years ago! It's hard to describe what happens to a relationship when a person begins to fight for fairness in a system that the other member supports; the movie

Fact Sheet: HTML Version | PDF Version * (128 KB)
Canada and Ethiopia have maintained relations since our Embassy opened in Addis Ababa in 1966. In 2010, Ethiopia closed its Embassy in Canada; it subsequently opened a consulate in Toronto. Ethiopia is represented in Canada by its embassy in Washington D.C.
Ethiopia is a country of focus for Canada's international development assistance, and Canada is the third largest donor to Ethiopia. Canada's bilateral development cooperation program is focused on food security/agriculture, children and youth, and enabling accountable and effective public institutions. In 2010-2011, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) provided $176.66 million in development and humanitarian assistance to Ethiopia through bilateral and multilateral channels as well as through Canadian civil society
In response to the worst drought and famine in over 60 years, Canada contributed $74.6 million in humanitarian assistance for those affected by the drought and famine in 2011 and an additional $86.5 million so far in 2012 for relief efforts in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti. This is being delivered through experienced international and Canadian organizations who are providing food, water, sanitation, medical support and shelter to communities affected by the drought, including refugees and internally displaced persons.
Canada supports the ongoing capacity-building of seven key democratic institutions through the Democratic Institutions Programme, a multi-donor fund to which Canada is the largest contributor. Canada participated in the European Union Election Observation Mission to monitor the 2010 elections, contributing two long-term and three short-term observers. Canada closely monitors the human rights and governance situation in Ethiopia and seeks to promote and encourage progress toward international standards.
Ethiopia is the most stable country in the volatile Horn of Africa region and a voice for Africa on the world stage. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi chairs the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee. Ethiopia also currently chairs the regional Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), which has lobbied for increased engagement by the region and by the international community in Sudan and Somalia. Prime Minister Meles is also Coordinator of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change. Ethiopia is home to the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
Canada values a lasting peace between Eritrea and Ethiopia and was actively engaged in mediating the Eritrea-Ethiopia border dispute, to which it sent 450 peacekeepers to the border region in 2001 as part of a UN force with a mandate to prepare for the now-defunct UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Canada strongly encourages Ethiopia and Eritrea to respect and to fully implement the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission's ruling on the placement of the border.
Ethiopia is a major gateway to the African market. Trade flows between Ethiopia and Canada are modest but growing. Canadian merchandise exports to Ethiopia, consisting of aircraft, machinery, equipment and coins, were $20.5 million in 2011. Imports from Ethiopia, mainly agri-food products (coffee, tea, oil seeds, cuttings), totalled approximately C$17.5 million in 2011. In 2010, Ethiopian Airlines took delivery of eight Q400 aircraft from Bombardier Aerospace at a cost of USD $192 million. In February 2012 it bought an additional five Q400.
According to the Ministry of Mines of Ethiopia, 13 Canadian companies have signed contracts for the exploration of potash and precious and base metals, with a registered capital of $6.5 million.
In January 2010, Canada concluded its first-ever Air Services Agreement with Ethiopia. The agreement provides modest rights for air transport services in a small bilateral air transport market. The first scheduled Ethiopian Airways flights from Addis Ababa to Toronto are slated for summer 2012. In addition, according to a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Canada and Ethiopia in 2003, Ethiopian exports of textile and apparel goods have tariff-free access to the Canadian market.
The African Union (AU), based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, plays an increasingly central role in African affairs and it is the principal continental interlocutor for Africa. Created in 2002 from its predecessor organization, the Organization of African Unity (OAU), this young multilateral organization has been steadily growing in scope and responsibilities.
The AU is an important partner for Canada in promoting shared values, preventing and reducing conflict, and encouraging political and economic development on the African continent. Canada contributes to the AU's peace and security efforts across the continent while strengthening the capacity of the institution.
Canada's Ambassador to Ethiopia also serves as Permanent Representative to the AU and UNECA.

Netflix CEO criticizes Comcast on Net neutrality, data caps
It's no secret that Reed Hastings doesn't think too highly of Comcast.
The Netflix chief executive, who has previously criticized the cable giant's claims that it costs the company a lot to deliver Internet video, fired another salvo Sunday, slamming the company's policy on Net neutrality and data caps.
As he explained on his Facebook page, his complaint is that when Comcast subscribers watch Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Go on their Xbox consoles, it counts against their monthly data limits. However, subscribers who use Xfinity don't have their limits dinged, suggesting that Comcast is giving … Read more

FAME Festival | Mark Jenkins and Vhils
We continue to get excited about what's happening at FAME Festival in Grottaglie. Here are a few pics to illustrate what Mark Jenkins and Vhils, two of our favorite street artists, have been doing. While the local police have already removed Mark's piece, fair director Angelo Milano reassures us that they will find a way to sneak another one up.
Mark was also recently featured in TIME Magazine's list of top 10 guerilla artists; while overall this list wasn't a particularly enlightening or intelligent round up of the scene, the writer definitely wasn't off when it came to Mark.
Vhils got to work as soon as he set foot in Grottaglie. Here he is outside the airport.
And here is one of his finished street pieces, created by scratching the plaster off the wall. Pretty cool, huh.

Hitachi Communication Technologies America, Inc. (Hitachi CTA) and Tendril® today announced that the companies are partnering to deliver a wide range of smart energy applications to consumers via an array of set-top boxes, wireless gateways and other devices that are already in the home. This dramatically improves the economics of home energy management by providing an economical and operational alternative to special-purpose gateways and other specialized hardware for each application used by the subscriber.
Through the Hitachi/Tendril relationship, the Tendril Energize™ suite of web and mobile home energy management applications will now be available via the Hitachi SuperJ® Applications Ecosystem, an open, Java-based platform compliant with OSGiTM specifications. Telecom, cable, mobile and other service providers who already have gateways and set-tops in the home will be able to quickly and easily add Tendril Energize energy monitoring, management and device control to their repertoire of smart home applications and services. Energy providers will be able to meet their energy efficiency and demand response/load control goals via branded, mutually beneficial relationships with these service providers and multiple gateway suppliers.
The combination of Tendril's energy consumer engagement applications and Hitachi's SuperJ applications ecosystem ensures that consumers have expanded and ready access to the latest, most valuable applications for home energy management, and provides energy, telecom and cable service providers with an open, cloud-based platform that supports ease of deployment and lifecycle maintenance. Hitachi and Tendril have already validated the operation of the Tendril application running on SuperJ-enabled gateways from several major suppliers of service provider gateways.
"Hitachi is excited to partner with Tendril, the leader in delivering consumer engagement energy management applications and services," said David Foote, Hitachi CTA chief technology officer. "We believe that as increasing attention is given to energy use, including energy conservation and the development of renewable energy sources, the ability of consumers to be aware of and control their energy usage will become critical."
"For energy providers, which comprise most of Tendril's customer base, the ability to engage customers in energy management programs via SuperJ-enabled gateways that are already in the home is an important new competitive advantage," said Tendril CEO Adrian Tuck. "It provides an easy and innovative way to improve energy management and customer satisfaction without the cost of special-purpose gateways and other hardware devices."
Tendril and Hitachi will present a series of educational discussion forums about energy management via ubiquitous home gateways at the upcoming DistribuTECH conference in San Diego on January 29, 30 and 31. The discussions will take place in Tendril's booth #2931.

Dessert is one of the hardest things to cut out of the daily routine when going on a diet. So if you absolutely must indulge, indulge in moderation. We turned to our most trusted cookbook authors and bloggers for some easy dessert recipes that don't break 300 calories per serving.
We know what you're thinking - great, so I'll be eating cupcakes made out of sawdust and ice cream that doesn't even live up to the name. Or I'll have to eat mouse-sized portions and leave the dinner table feeling unsatisfied. Not this time, though, maybe it's still OK to have dessert.

Sweet potato and squash mash
This is a lovely mixture to try in the autumn, when butternut squash are plentiful. It's a great source of betacarotene for your baby.Ingredients
1 sweet potato
1 small butternut squash
Peel and dice both vegetables, and boil or steam until tender. Mash together with a little of your baby's usual milk until a suitable consistency.
Beef and green beans
This hearty meal is an excellent source of iron. Your baby will also be able to top up on vitamin C.Ingredients
100g fresh beef lean mince
50g trimmed green beans, cut into 0.5 cm pieces
160g potatoes, cut into 8 pieces
Fry the beef without added fat in a non-stick pan until lightly browned, then add a tablespoon water. Cook the potatoes in a pan, steaming the beans in a sieve over them for about eight minutes, until tender. Place the beans and beef in a blender and whizz together with a tablespoon water until smooth. Mash the potatoes with two tablespoons water or your baby's usual milk. Mash in the bean and beef mix.

1 small ripe avocado
Mash together well and serve at once.
Petit pois purée

50g fine cornmeal
400ml water
2 large florets broccoli
Mix the cornmeal with the water and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Simmer, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes until the corn is cooked. Meanwhile steam the broccoli until tender and drain. Blend both ingredients together into a suitable consistency.

[JURIST] Portuguese Minister of State and Foreign Affairs Luis Amado [official profile] on Wednesday sent a letter [text] to European Union [official website] (EU) foreign ministers urging EU members to take in any detainees released from the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. Amado said that Portugal would be willing to take in detainees, and that other EU member states that support the closure of the prison should do the same. He wrote:
The time has come for the European Union to step forward. As a matter of principle and coherence, we should send a clear signal of our willingness to help the US Government in that regard, namely through the resettlement of detainees. As far as the Portuguese Government is concerned, we will be available to participate.
