Yemeni President steps down from office
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh signed a deal on Wednesday to resign from office after uprisings have recently begun to intensify.
Negotiations for an agreement took place for some time between him, a U.N. special envoy and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which is composed of six member states. Previously, President Saleh had agreed to sign a deal, but backed out at the last minute for different reasons.
On Tuesday, U.N. special envoy to Yemen, Jamal bin Omal, announced an agreement had been reached and a possible signing would take place soon in an official ceremony. President Saleh had said he would like the presence of an unnamed minister from a Gulf country to attend the ceremony in addition to the GCC Secretary General Abdullatif al-Zayani.
He was shown on national television on Wednesday morning with the presence of Saudi Arabian King Abdullah along with other Saudi officials signing the deal ending his nearly 30-year-old regime after about nine months of protests. Yemeni opposition officials also signed the deal after Saleh.
"The agreement is an important step for the people of Yemen to solve the political crisis in the country and move their country toward a better future" bin Omar said. He also praised the youth of the country for their efforts that "created the momentum" for change.
Protesters, however, are not so excited about Saleh's exit. "They agreed. That's their business. For us, the revolution continues in the square" one protest organizer said. He expressed concern for the corruption within the country and says he doesn't believe that changing or removing corrupt officials would do anything if they were replaced with other corrupt officials. "If we see that the corrupt system is removed, we'll welcome it," he said.
The deal agreed upon peacefully transfers power from President Saleh to Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi within 30 days and schedules early presidential elections within 90 days of signing the agreement. It also calls for a two-year transitional period for a unity government to amend the constitution and to work on restoring national security forces since they were destabilized with the uprisings. The agreement also calls for national dialogue about the country's future and gives Saleh immunity from prosecution.

Writing On The Hall: Requiem for Plywood editionGordon Dritschilo | August 25,2014I spent two summers in college working at Rutland Plywood.
They didn't test for drugs — it was college I'd been inhaling — they offered better hours than the store I had worked at through high school, and it seemed somehow nobler than food service.
For those of you unfamiliar with the process, plywood is made by taking thin sheets of wood and running them through a giant set of rollers that coats them with glue and spits them out. My job — though we did rotate positions — was catching them and then slapping them down between dry sheets slid into place by coworkers on either side of me.
It was sweltering. The chemicals in the air made my eyes redden and run with mucus, and to this day I still get rashes where whatever it was rubbed into my inner elbow joints. It was the sort of experience that reminds one why one is in college — though a look at my grades will tell you I didn't remember for very long once I got back.
It was also the beginning of an education in America's class issues — because while this was just a summer job for me, for a lot of the people around me it was life.
I have often repeated the tale of the coworker who said he had done time all over New England, and that Vermont jails were his favorite because they were the least violent. Then there was the glue mixer who had the best reason for not quitting smoking I have ever heard — his doctor did not want him to even try until he had been off cocaine for at least 18 months.
Yes, I got a couple of them to buy beer for me. They didn't even make fun of me that much when I asked them for Sam Adams.
The moment that burned itself into my mind the most was right after the arrest of O.J. Simpson. An older coworker, who I hadn't liked much to begin with, went on a rant about the "waste of a perfectly good white woman," repeatedly employing a particular racial epithet I doubt my editors will let me use here.
This rant was only brought to the end when the foreman, who wore a Buffalo Bills cap each day and decorated his living room floor to ceiling in Buffalo Bills memorabilia, shut it down. The aforementioned racial epithet did not apply to O.J., the foreman said sharply, because "O.J. is a ballplayer."
More than once in those summers of 1994 and 1995, though, my coworkers and I discussed how quickly the place would probably go up if a fire ever started there.
With one or two exceptions, they were good, hardworking people I shared that experience with 20 years ago, and I hope their counterparts today don't have their lives disrupted too horribly now that the fire we spent our breaks imagining finally flared into reality and burned the factory down.
Bit of a quiet week, City Hall-wise. Both the meetings on the municipal calendar are on Wednesday. The Architectural Review Committee looks at a proposal for 146 West St. at 8:30 a.m. and the Charter and Ordinance Committee discusses the request to create a new zoning district for the Dana building at 5:30 p.m.
Unless something unexpected happens — we had plenty of that this week — the big news will be the opening at 5 p.m. Friday of the Vermont State Fair. In case you missed it in the story Thursday, children 12 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult this year. See you there.

Tried one of these on Lesbos; well impressed.
May trade up my trusty old fz 48- the extension Lens ( but not the tube) will work on the 150
the FZ 150 has a 24x optical zoom but as it's new on the market costs around £300
My old FZ 38 has an 18x optical zoom and with the extra screw on lens adaptor gave good results - see my posts on here from Lesbos etc- used ones can be found on ebay in the £130 range.
Christine, TZ8 is a superb little camera and the newest version is TZ30 which is the one I think you are referring to. I have never pressed that button yet, have never liked digital zooms but that photo might make me change my mind. The fz 150 is a near SLR bridge camera and as a result has a bigger sensor (therefore better quality) and the ability to add an optical extension lens.
Edit: If you do change keep the TZ8. The best camera you can have is the one you have with you and the TZ8 will slip into your pocket at any time.
I have to say I can't fault the fz150 as a bridge camera. The reviews speak for themselves, and the x 24 optical zoom can be extended considerably if you use the digital zoom (although you need a tripod for that to be honest) and as Bob said you can buy an optical teleconverter to double the optical zoom. I use the 1.7 teleconverter and can manage this hand held quite easily.
I do exactly the same as Sparrow- works brilliantly.
Hi- took this at 12 feet- cropped slightly
Hi Seymouraves, after getting rid of my new SLR, Canon 600D, which I just couldn't get along with at all, I have just three weeks ago bought a FZ 150. My Bro and I spent hours of extensive reviewing before deciding that this was the one, the processing is very good unlike the Sony HX200V which is a close competitive camera but which over processes the pictures and which I tried for two days (and which you can't turn the auto review off, which is 2 seconds long) I also own a Panasonic TZ10 which as a 'carry about' camera is excellent. I'm very happy with the FZ150 I am still in the 'testing it out' mode but so far have found nothing it can't cope with. The movies are also very good I record in HD. I highly recommend the FZ150, so far on the market there is nothing to touch it . Edit, in bridge cameras.
hello birdie can I throw one at you - I have been looking at Canon Powershot SX40 HS which I can get for about £226 (and price is a factor) - any ideas about how good this one is - or not??
Birdie WildI highly recommend the FZ150, so far on the market there is nothing to touch it . Edit, in bridge cameras.
I completely agree.
Thats a great photo Seymour.
Hi Wendy, best thing to do is to read reviews on the net about it, like HERE and there's a small discussion HERE that may interest you, but you need to read as many reviews as you can about that and other bridge cameras, there are some great review sites, then see if jessops or some other shop have one in and go and have a go with it, compare it with other bridge cameras that they have, take your time, take the same photos with each camera and see what you think, ultimately it's down to personal choice and what you feel and what you think to be a fair price, certainly if you purchase the SX40, I think you will be pleased with it, but I've not tried one and I'm definitely no expert xx

The Cricket
Film Forward, in fourth year, taking more films to more places
Film Forward, which brings movies and their makers to audiences in different parts of the United States and the world, has picked the locations and movie titles for this year's program.
The touring program offers movie screenings, workshops and discussions that foster dialogue and cross-cultural understanding.
"These films are an extraordinary representation of universal themes that will inspire and challenge audiences to look at their community and our world in a new way," said Keri Putnam, executive director of the Sundance Institute, one of the program's organizers.
The program, in its fourth year, is a collaboration of the not-for-profit Sundance Institute and four federal agencies: The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities and The Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Film Forward's U.S. destinations will be Detroit, San Diego, Jackson, Miss., and Harrisburg, Pa. The international locations are Bosnia & Herzegovina, Colombia, Indonesia, China and Taiwan.
Here are this year's movie titles:
• "Circles," directed by Srdan Golubovic, which follows the aftermath of a tragic heroic act 12 years earlier, through five people who each must deal with a crisis and confront guilt, frustration and the urge for revenge. Serbia's official entry for the 2014 Academy Awards.
• "Dancing in Jaffa," directed by Hilla Medalia, is a documentary that follows ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine as he teaches steps to 11-year-old Jewish and Palestinian Israelis.
• "Fruitvale Station," directed by Ryan Coogler, follows the last day in the life of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), whose life was cut short in a race-related police shooting on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train stop. Winner of the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
• "If You Build It," directed by Patrick Creadon, a documentary that traces a year at one of America's most innovative classrooms — and introduces the designer/activists who aim to use humanitarian design to aid a rural North Carolina community.
• "The Rocket," directed by Kim Mordaunt, believed to be the first feature film made in Laos, follows a boy leading his family to find a new home — and trying to prove he's not bad luck by entering the dangerous Rocket Festival competition. Filmed in Laos, the movie is Australia's official entry for the 2014 Academy Awards' foreign-language category.
• "Twenty Feet From Stardom," director Morgan Neville's buoyant documentary that puts back-up singers — the voices who stand behind the stars — in the spotlight.
• "Valentine Road," director Marta Cunningham's documentary that chronicles the aftermath of a junior-high school shooting in 2008, when Brandon McInerney shot his transgender classmate Larry King in the back of the head.
• "The World Before Her," directed by Nisha Pahuja, is a documentary that follows two different training programs in India: A beauty "boot camp" for the Miss India pageant, and a militant Hindo fundamentalist camp for young girls.

Discover which cute canines lived true rags-to-riches tails, er, tales
By Marlisse Cepeda
Toto from The Wizard of Oz
Perhaps one of the most beloved movies of all time, The Wizard of Oz featured several memorable characters, including the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and, of course, Toto, who never strayed too far from on-screen owner, Dorothy. In real life, Toto (born as Terry, a female pup) was owned by Carl Spitz, founder of the Hollywood Dog Training School. Spitz first met Terry when the pup's original owners, a married couple, sent him to Spitz for training. Once housebroken, the owners neglected to pick up Terry from the kennel. Spitz kept her for himself and started taking her to auditions. Terry landed her first role alongside Shirley Temple in Bright Eyes. Five films later, the canine was cast as Toto.

Well i had an imprint before that was called cube recordings and i released amazing stuff from artist such as Stuart price, felix da housecat, rhythm masters, Paul woolford, to even bands like the moving units from Los Angeles, and having a conversation with steve angello in coachella 2 years ago really confirmed that i should start a creative output for myself and others again,

Colombia's Ecopetrol SA has deemed the initial commercial viability of the Akacias area to the National Hydrocarbons Agency.
The area is in the Acacias municipality in the Meta Department on CPO-09 block, which is being developed jointly by operator Ecopetrol and Calgary-based Talisman Energy Inc.
Ecopetrol said oil in place is estimated to reach at least 1.3 billion bbl with an estimated minimum 10% recovery factor. The company estimates an initial incorporation of 35 million bbl of reserves, 55% of which are owned by Ecopetrol in accordance with its participating interest in the contract.
Development and production is expected to begin in an area covering 9,825 ha, 4.7% of the 208,248 ha CPO-09 Block. The partners are continuing their exploration activity in search of more hydrocarbon reserves.
Akacias is adjacent to Ecopetrol's major direct-operations area, with its Castilla, Chichimene, and Apiay fields currently producing a total of 215,000 boe/d.
"Akacias constitutes one of the major exploration achievements in recent years in Colombia and clearly shows the heavy crude potential in the area of Llanos, which is the focus of the exploratory campaign to reach Ecopetrol's target of producing 1 million of clean bbl in 2015 and 1.3 million bbl in 2020," stated Javier Gutierrez Pemberthy, Ecopetrol's chief executive officer.
Nine wells have been drilled as part of the Akacias area delimitation campaign. The discovery well Akacias-1 was drilled at yearend 2010 (OGJ Online, Dec. 1, 2010), while extended production tests began in May 2011 (OGJ Online, Nov. 2, 2011), reaching an average production of 2,000 b/d.
The cumulative production reached 1.5 million bbl of crude with 7-9° API gravity. Talisman in February 2012 stated its intention to deem Akacias commercial (OGJ Online, Feb. 16, 2012).
The total current average production of the tested wells is 5,500 boe/d and Ecopetrol estimates reaching a production volume of 25,000 boe/d by yearend 2015.
