Death toll nears 1600, thousands more missing

The official death toll from the magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday has risen to 1598, according to the National Police Agency.
The toll rose late on Sunday as bodies were recovered along the coast of northeastern Japan, which bore the brunt of Friday's double disaster.
But grave fears are held for tens of thousands of missing and deaths are expected to exceed 10,000 in Miyagi prefecture alone.
Police said more than 215,000 people were huddled in emergency shelters.
The quake, one of the biggest ever recorded, unleashed a terrifying 10-metre wave that tore through towns and cities on Japan's northeastern coast, destroying everything in its path.
In the small port town of Minamisanriku alone, about 10,000 people are unaccounted for – more than half the population – public broadcaster NHK reported.
Millions of Japanese were without drinking water or electricity on Sunday, surviving on instant noodles and rice balls.
Although the government doubled the number of soldiers deployed in the aid effort to 100,000, it seemed overwhelmed by what's turning out to be a triple disaster.
Friday's quake and tsunami damaged two nuclear reactors at a power plant on the coast, and at least one of them appeared to be going through a partial meltdown, raising fears of a radiation leak.
"First I was worried about the quake, now I'm worried about radiation. I live near the plants, so I came here to find out if I'm OK. I tested negative, but I don't know what to do next," said Kenji Koshiba, a construction worker, at an emergency centre in Koriyama.
The raging tsunami picked up shipping containers, cars and the debris of shattered homes. It crashed through the streets of Sendai and across open fields, forming a mud slick that covered vast tracts of land.
On the east coast of Honshu island, monster waves destroyed or damaged more than 12,250 homes and other buildings.
"There are so many people who lost their lives," an elderly man told TV reporters before breaking down in tears. "I have no words to say."
Police reportedly said 200 to 300 bodies had been found in the city of Sendai. Up to 400 bodies were recovered in Rikuzentakata, a coastal town of about 23,000 people, NHK quoted the military as saying.
Teams searched for the missing along hundreds of kilometres of the Japanese coast, and thousands of hungry survivors huddled in darkened emergency centres that were cut off from rescuers and aid. At least 1.4 million households had gone without water since the quake struck and some 2.5 million households were without electricity.
Large areas of the countryside were surrounded by water and unreachable. Fuel stations were closed and people were running out of fuel for their cars.
Public broadcaster NHK said around 380,000 people have been evacuated to emergency shelters, many of them without power.
In Iwaki town, residents were leaving due to concerns they over dwindling food and fuel supplies. The town had no electricity and all stores were closed. Local police had taken in about 90 people and given them blankets and rice balls but there was no sign of government or military aid trucks.
In the small town of Tagajo, near the hard-hit port city of Sendai, dazed residents roamed streets cluttered with smashed cars, broken homes and twisted metal.
The towering wave set off alerts across the Pacific, sparking evacuations in Hawaii and on the US West Coast.
In quake-hit areas, 5.6 million households had no power on Saturday and more than 1 million households were without water. Telecommunications networks were also hit.
In a rare piece of good news, a ship that was earlier reported missing was found swept out to sea and all 81 people aboard were airlifted to safety.
Leading international offers of help, which saw foreign rescue teams begin arriving in Japan on Saturday, US President Barack Obama mobilised the US military to provide emergency aid after what he called a "simply heartbreaking" disaster.
The United States, which has nearly 50,000 military personnel in Japan, ordered a flotilla including two aircraft carriers and support ships to the region to provide aid.
The quake hit at 2:46pm local time on Friday and lasted about two minutes, making buildings sway in greater Tokyo, the world's largest urban area and home to about 30 million people.
More than a day after the first massive quake struck just under 400km northeast of Tokyo, aftershocks were still rattling the region, including a strong 6.8 magnitude tremor on Saturday.
Japan sits on the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and Tokyo is in one of its most dangerous areas, where three continental plates are slowly grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure.
The government has long warned of the likelihood that a devastating magnitude 8 quake will strike within the next 30 years in the Kanto plains, home to Tokyo's vast urban sprawl.

Three Changes SMBs Must Implement to Stop Cyberattacks

Just because the incursions that make headlines are the ones against major services doesn't mean SMBs aren't being impacted at an alarming and growing rate.

2Love is Still the Best Currency
Last year, we had the pleasure of interviewing Linda Commito about the release of her book Love Is The New Currency. Since then, as you may know, I have given up the use of Federal Reserve Notes and sought out forms of alternative currency, Love being among the most primary and effective. Recently, Linda interviewed me for her latest book, and asked about my findings over the last four months without the use of money.
For the most part, it's astounding to see how much more abundance life has to offer when I am no longer relegated to filter the world through such a limiting and temporal conduit. While my lifestyle does offer its fair share of challenges and requires a certain amount of flexibility, it also seems to give me many more surprising reasons to smile every day while forcing me to flex my brain muscles, think outside the box, and see possibilities that I may not be able to see if I were merely relying on money.
It's not that I think money is bad, however, I do believe that our value system has been warped. Although our culture has been spawned in many ways by the Judeo/Christian heritage which proclaims that "the love of money is the root of all evil," we have largely based our culture on the twisted adaptation that says "the love of money is the root of all progress." Unfortunately, this has led to a society where the majority of our energy, both our personal energies and our physical resources, are devoted simply to the production of money in a system that necessitates unlimited growth, depleting the collective energy of the masses in exchange for the profit of a few. And although a very limited segment of our population reaps the benefits of our toil, the rest of us keep on feeding into the system in hopes that the dream of our being in that elite percentile will one day pay off.
Yet even for those who have actualized the American Dream, which seems to represent the freedom to have as much personal wealth as you want, we're finding that all of the money in the world isn't bringing them happiness either. As a matter of fact, financially wealthy people are often the most miserable people around. Plagued with having to tend to their possessions and always doubting whether their relationships are genuine or parasitic, being wealthy isn't all it's cracked up to be…although, I am obviously not speaking from personal experience so feel free to test the theory yourself.
I don't necessarily think that my giving up something that I never had much of in the first place is going to completely change the way the world operates or anything, but it does change the way that my world operates. I don't think that the accumulation of personal wealth and directing the majority of my energy into self preservation is the most prudent use of my existence. So I'm just exploring some other possibilities that often get overlooked in this rat race culture of ours.
I can testify, however, that the most valuable resources I have found are the relationships in my life, and the most precious of those are the ones fueled by love. The value of these relationships aren't in the ancillary benefits they bring me, such as food or shelter (though those are greatly appreciated), but in the sheer understanding that I am connected to another person and that although I am on my own journey, I am not alone in it. Yet even beyond my cultivated relationships, when I think about people that I meet for the first time or just run across every now and then, when I sow love into those relationships by offering up either an actionable service or simply an open ear or a genuine smile, what I reap is beyond compare to anything I have ever bought.
Do not underestimate the value you have to offer the world or the untapped value of the world around you.
2 Responses to Love is Still the Best Currency
Well it is nice to see the movement i helped start did not die out. I was a hippie from 1965 to 1975, now i am 66 and just looking up things hippie after all these lousy years trying to stay afloat. I never made much of myself either, i look and dream back to those ten years as the best of my life. I lived on three different communes, i was a carpenter, mechanic, welder and loved gardening, an odd ball sometimes yes, never did hard drugs as the media portrayed. I am in a dead end relationship, after 27 years we are growing rapidly apart.
It would be cool to find love again. I fathered 37 kids, mostly in those ten hippie years. I never knew most of them, girls in those days wanted babies because welfare was great. Make love not war was our motto then. We had love fests, orgies, and many commune to commune get togethers. I was the only one who worked on a fillmore, Calif commune, there were a dozen or so females who got welfare for a couple dozen kids. The women made most of the decisions, like who could or could not join, where we would travel to, meal planning and cooking, crafts, etc. I turned over most of my pay to the women.
The seven to eight men maintained the place and vehicles, we farmed it, i raised rabbits and chickens. They have the best weight gain to feed consummed ratio on the planet. We kept each other very happy, the women were wonderful. Thanks zorba -
Wow! Sounds like you were quite the old school hippie all right. And your putting soup kitchens together now? Funny how things come around.

DescriptionWilliam Shakespeare was the son of a glovemaker, a small-town boy with a grammar school education. Yet he grew up to become the greatest English-speaking playwright in the world. Bard of Avon: The Story of William Shakespeare is both his story and that of a great art rediscovered in the modern world. Drama had been forgotten since the days of ancient Greece, but it reemerged in Elizabethan London with the building of the first modern theater. Its impact can still be imagined today. There were the theaters, open to the weather and featuring neither sets nor curtains, but equipped with dramatic special effects. There were the companies of actors--the leading men, the comedians, the boys who played women's roles--and the playwrights who gave them all lines to say. Best of all, there was William Shakespeare, who rubbed shoulders with noblemen and royalty as well as with the rowdy crowds at the foot of the stage. He was suspected of involvement in a treasonous rebellion, and his last play literally brought down the house when cannon effects set fire to the famous Globe theater and it burned to the ground. Award-winning collaborators Diane Stanley and Peter Vennema have once again created a feast of words and pictures to celebrate the life of a remarkable person from the pages of history: William Shakespeare, a man for all time." About the AuthorDiane Stanley is the author and illustrator of beloved books for young readers, including The Silver Bowl, which received three starred reviews; Saving Sky, winner of the Arab American Museum's Arab American Award and a Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year; Bella at Midnight, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and an ALA Booklist Editors' Choice; The Mysterious Case of the Allbright Academy; The Mysterious Matter of I. M. Fine; and A Time Apart. Well known as the author and illustrator of award-winning picture-book biographies, she is the recipient of the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children and the Washington Post-Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award for the body of her work. Ms. Stanley has also written and illustrated numerous picture books, including three creatively reimagined fairy tales: The Giant and the Beanstalk, Goldie and the Three Bears, and Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. |

2. Established professional and management bodies
3. General study
4. Regional survey
5. Case studies
ACEEEO launched a two years project called "Developing accurate voters list in transitional democracies" with the support of the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). The project aims to research, analyse and present the regional practices, experiences and problems in the field of voter registration.
During the project different elements has to be delivered: 1. a comprehensive study on the general aspects, international standards and definitions of voter registration; 2. a regional survey on theory and practice of voter registration in the ACEEEO-region; 3. Six detailed country case studies; 4. a manual for practiotioners on problems and solution of voter registration; 5. an international conference for experts and practitioners on the project's main topic.
This interim report presents the results of the first third of the project.
2. Established professional and management bodies
The Advisory Board is composed of world experienced electoral experts from important partner organisations and institutions, like OSCE ODIHR, Council of Europe, European Commission (DG RELEX), International IDEA and IFES. The Chairman of the Advisory Board is Mr. Richard Soudriette, President Emeritus of IFES and Honorary Member of ACEEEO. The Advisory Board analyses the professional materials prepared during the project, conslults and advises on how to improve the professional quality of the project.
A Steering Committee was established within the ACEEEO Secretariat to regularly overview the management of the project and to provide professional and organisational support for the implementation. Mr. István Zsuffa, ACEEEO's External Expert is the Chairman of the Steering Committee.
The project's Steering Committee found and hired professional voter registration experts, practitioners and academic researchers to implement the research and analysis tasks of the project. Mr. Sam Younger, President Emeritus of the UK Electoral Commission is the Head of the Experts' Team.
3. General study
A general study has been prepared by members of the Experts' Team on the most important aspects of voter registration, clarifying definitions, analysing international standards and national legislation, identifying typical problems. The study creates professional basis for the regional survey and for the country case studies.
The Experts' Team prepared a comprehensive questionnaire on the national voter registration systems, which was sent to all ACEEEO institutional members. The electoral bodies will send back the filled questionnaires by the time of the ACEEEO Annual Conference in Yerevan, and the Experts' Team will analyse the results, which will be the basis of their research paper.
Six ACEEEO institutional members (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Macedonia and Moldova) expressed their willingness to support the project by preparing detailed analysis of their national voter registration system. The Experts' team prepared a detailed questionnaire to assist them in the analysis. International organisations and academic researchers will be asked to prepare a shadow report on the national voter registration system in order to give the ACEEEO researchers a different view on the analysed systems. The case studies will provide the second basic element for the research paper.

Anthony Denzer has a knack for writing knowledgably and accessibly about worthy but under-appreciated subjects. I enjoyed his 2008 book Gregory Ain: The Modern Home as Social Commentary, particularly the way it goes beneath the surface and connects Ain to the social and cultural zeitgeist.
Denzer performs a similar feat here with his new title The Solar House: Pioneering Sustainable Design (Rizzoli, $55). As he explains in the book's foreword, he decided to focus mostly on the overlooked history of solar houses in the United States before the 1970's (though he does devote a chapter to later developments). And he defines "solar house" as "a building that uses solar energy for space heating in a deliberate critical and creative manner."
In patient prose and through well-chosen photos and drawings, Denzer guides us through the stop-start trajectory of solar design. From George Fred Keck's Sloan House (1940) to MIT's decades-spanning Solar House series, the book traces key happenings and setbacks. It highlights the disconnect between architecture and engineering that many feel has slowed solar's progress. And it provides hard numbers on energy savings and costs.
The Solar House is a serious, objective, and often-fascinating read. Denzer balances portrayals of the solar house movement's colorful personalities with explanations of its complex technologies. As he did with the Ain book, he skillfully relates his topic to the political and economic attitudes of the time.

Swiss Franc firmed the increased risk aversion amid worries about China and the situation between Russia and Ukraine
Asian and European trading sessions:
Euro: The euro exchange rate rose sharply against the U.S. dollar, despite weak data on industrial production in the euro area. Official data showed Eurostat, in the euro zone industrial production fell unexpectedly in January, largely due to reduced production of energy.Industrial output fell 0.2 % on a monthly basis in January, showing the second consecutive fall. Economists had expected growth of production by 0.6 % after falling by a revised 0.4 % in December.
Production of energy decreased by 2.5 %, and the production of durable consumer goods fell by 0.6 %. Intermediate goods decreased by 0.1 %. Partially offset this decline is that the release of capital goods rose by 0.9 %, while production of consumer non-durable goods increased by 0.4 %.On an annual basis, industrial production growth accelerated to 2.1 % from 1.2 % in December. Economists forecasted that output will grow by 1.9 %.
In light of these release analysts ING Bnak NV commented: "The main reason for poor outcome again was to reduce energy production by 2.5%, but intermediate goods and consumer durables also pointed to the decline in production. While the benchmark did not meet expectations, weak energy component probably overshadowed a slight improvement in the overall indicator. However, to strengthen the eurozone recovery process still requires export growth. " The EUR / USD pair rose to $ 1.3908 during the European session.
Japanese Yen: The yen rose against most currencies on concerns about the state of China's economy. This increases the demand for safe-haven assets, which, in particular, is the yen. In February, China's exports fell by the largest value since the beginning of the financial crisis. Index decreased yearly by 18.1 %, while the experts had expected growth of 7.5%. However, the real picture is quite difficult to evaluate because of the rather long New Year celebrations on the lunar calendar. Holidays in China traditionally distort statistics. Meanwhile, imports grew by 10.1%, resulting in a trade deficit reached highs for 2 years at $ 23 billion. The USD / JPY pair fell to Y102.65 during the European session.
American trading session:
Swiss Franc: Swiss Franc continued to strengthen against the dollar, breaking with a two-day consolidation and peaking in the last 28 months. Franc firmed the increased risk aversion amid worries about China and the situation between Russia and Ukraine.
Market participants are waiting for tomorrow's data for China. Economists predict that the Chinese industrial production has increased markedly during the first two months of this year, but the rate of this increase will be less than was recorded in December. It is estimated that industrial production increased by 9.5 % ( yearly ) in January and February, compared with a gain of 9.7 % in December. Experts also expect that retail sales rose by 13.5 % per annum for the first two months of this year - it's a little less than 13.6 per cent growth in December. Growth of investment in fixed assets, probably slowed to 19.5 per cent per annum, compared with an increase of 19.6 % in January.
Gold: Gold prices rose significantly today, while reaching a six-month high, as investors expect that fears of corporate defaults in China and geopolitical confrontation between Russia, Ukraine and the West have a negative impact on the stock market, and increase the attractiveness of the precious metal as a hedge against the risk of. The cost of the April gold futures rose to $ 1365.90 per ounce on the COMEX today.
Oil: The WTI Oil prices fell markedly today, reaching at this month low which was associated with the publication of a report on oil reserves in the United States. April futures price for U.S. light crude oil fell to $ 98.34 a barrel on the NYMEX.

Product Review (submitted on August 8, 2009):
I am so impressed with how well this makes my make up look and my face feel. With the primer, my make up looks fresh all day long and my face appears much younger than applying make up without the primer. I'm hooked!!

See It Differently.
I will admit it. I have a bit of an obsession with Instagram. It's a photo sharing app that allows you to snap a shot with your iPhone, add a cool filter, then share your image with the world via Facebook or Twitter, or via Instagram's own publishing feed. The filters are cool, the square format is interesting, and the publishing is easy.
So much to love.
Still my commitment to Instagram goes deeper. This free little download has changed everything about the way I look at the world around me. Partly because it's just fun to keep an eye out for an interesting something that might make a swell photo. But also because I am wildly inspired by the images that are delivered to me, right there in my Instagram feed. There is something fascinating about seeing ordinary, daily life transformed into magical crops, viewed through someone else's life lens.
For example:
What a gift it is to see the world differently; to be more aware simply because you are looking.Â
Today is a great day to look around. Look for light and shapes and texture and color. Snap a shot or two and see if your view of the world doesn't open up just a bit.
Beauty is all around us, every moment.
Just look.

Branson brothers set example for siblings
Branson brothers set example for siblings
Thursday, December 29, 2011
College Director of Communications
417.447.2655 firstname.lastname@example.com Koehler
Coordinator of Media Relations (417) 447-2666 email@example.com and Walker Boldman are close brothers, but they are proud to say they are completely different from each other.
Colt is a volunteer fireman; Walker plays violin. Colt likes to listen to Christian rock; Walker prefers classical music with a little Sinatra thrown in. Colt is right-handed. Walker, you guessed it, is left-handed.
But there is one very important commonality in their lives. Both young men attend the exact same classes at the OTC Branson Center, located in The Shoppes at Branson Meadows.
"Walker is the creative one; he writes. I am the logical, methodical one," said Colt, 18.
The brothers from Berryville are the two oldest of 12 brothers and sisters, a group that will soon grow to 13.
Not only do Colt and Walker spend a lot of time at home with their younger siblings, the two drive about 35 minutes one-way every Monday and Wednesday to take five classes at the Branson center.
The brothers are eyeing different careers. Walker wants to become an engineer, possibly attending Missouri University of Science and Technology. Colt wants to continue his education in fire science and may transfer to a four-year institution.
The two share a good-natured attitude toward each other. They spend a lot of time together, whether at home, in the truck heading to and from the OTC Branson Center or spending a few hours between their day and night classes at a fast-food restaurant in Branson studying.
What the brothers share most is a love for their family. They realize they are the ones setting an example for their siblings.
"We are forging the way for the others in the family to follow, to show that they need to go to college and right now, OTC is the best place for us to go to do that," Walker said.
Steve Koehler is coordinator of media relations for Ozarks Technical Community College.

Buffett's Berkshire Buys Only 1 New Stock
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B - Get Report) made only two trades in the first quarter: initiating a small stake in credit-card company MasterCard (MA - Get Report) and trimming its big stake in oil company ConocoPhillips (COP - Get Report).
It's the second quarter in a row of little activity for the investment company run by the man dubbed the Oracle of Omaha for the trading prowess that helped him build an estimated net worth of $50 billion over half a century. In the first quarter, former hedge fund manager Todd Combs started working at Berkshire, managing part of the portfolio, as the 80-year-old billionaire selects a succession team.
Berkshire Hathaway's 26-stock investment portfolio was valued at $53.6 billion as of March 31, up $1 billion, or 2%, from the end of 2010, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission report that the hedge fund filed late Monday. Buffett isn't required to publish foreign holdings. The benchmark S&P 500 Index rose 5.4% in the first quarter.
Warren Buffett |
Buffett's attention was diverted from trading to more pressing matters in the first quarter, including the resignation of a top executive, David Sokol, who many viewed as the most likely candidate to succeed him at Berkshire Hathaway.
Sokol resigned March 30 after it was disclosed that he had traded in shares of oil-additives maker Lubrizol while considering it as a potential takeover candidate for Berkshire. The Lubrizol deal, valued at $9 billion, is expected to close in the second half of the year. >>View Warren Buffett's Portfolio Berkshire Hathaway also settled a dispute with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the period over stock valuations that resulted in the firm having to take a $506 million write-down on the value of some of its shares of Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) and Kraft Foods (KFT). Hedge funds that manage more than $100 million are required to disclose their equity holdings, options and convertible debt on a Form 13F filed to the SEC within 45 days of the end of a quarter. Funds aren't required to report short positions betting on declines. Buffett, who is both chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway, and his top lieutenant, Charlie Munger, 87, may be telegraphing that they're ready for a change after the weak first quarter the company posted and the dormant investment portfolio.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Melissa's Insight: The Art of Losing
by Melissa d'Arabian in Food Network Star, August 11, 2011Melissa d'Arabian won Star season 5 and has been loving her Food Network adventure ever since. You can catch new episodes of her show, Ten Dollar Dinners on Sunday mornings at 9am/8c. As a Star veteran watching from her couch at home, Melissa shares her insider's take on what went down each week.
Today I'm dedicating my blog to losing. Yes, losing. Next week at this time, we will be focused on who won, so now's our chance to talk about not winning. Believe me, I've earned the air I breathe around this subject. While I did win my season of Star, I know what it's like to watch someone else get something I wanted so badly, something I believed was my destiny. I've had to step aside with a graceful smile and applaud the victories of others. And I've replayed events over and over in my mind, wondering if there was a key moment where I lost and, more importantly, what could I have done to avoid it.
I've learned more by losing than by winning. When I lose, I try to nurse my hurt ego for a short time and then set it aside. Only then can I see losing as the valuable feedback it is. I evaluate and adjust course. In my experience, losing is a speed bump on the way to winning.
I believe that any given moment, I am right where I am supposed to be, good or bad. If it weren't uncomfortable, then where would I find the motivation to try something different? Besides, discomfort tells me that life is in session. And that's a good problem to have.
Here are some truths that have become apparent to me, through the gift of losing:
You are always auditioning for life, never just for the job. Think how many people have lost out on the prize in front of them only to go on to succeed in ways unimaginable. Do you think Jennifer Hudson imagined winning an Oscar when she was sent home from American Idol? My advice: When you lose, impress anyway. Be graceful. Be so good that people can't imagine not calling you when they are looking for someone with your skill set. Mary Beth may not be the best cook Food Network has seen, but I will be very surprised if she ever has to seek work again as a writer. She's great at that, and she showed what a class act she is. (Her parting words, "A lot of people don't ever find their passion; how could I be anything but grateful?" show exactly why she will be successful.)
Make people want to pick you first for the big dodge ball game of life. Which makes Penny's decision to phone in her work this week such a crime — not against Mary Beth because I think she would have been edged out anyway — but Penny robbed herself of the opportunity to turn it all around. Imagine if she had just knocked herself out for her teammate? What could have come from that? We'll never know, and sadly neither will she.
Your life mission is not becoming a Food Network Star, even if it feels that way. You weekly readers know how I feel about having a personal life mission — it's critical. Indeed, knowing what small mark I want to leave on the world gets me up in the morning. Here is the secret: If a life mission is about winning a contest (or job or any achievement), then consider the possibility that you aren't thinking big enough for your life's mission. As much as I wanted to win FNS (a lot), and as much as I knew why I wanted to win (to pursue my life's mission), I also knew that my life's mission could be served without winning. Making the mark is more important than doing it exactly the way I imagined. My life's mission is helped along by my TV career, certainly, but my TV career is not the mission itself. Means versus ends.
Making peace with not winning is actually pretty simple. Know why you are playing (meaning know your life mission), play a game you can win (for instance, no one can bring Susie's family recipes to life like she can), put in the work to win that game (no shortcuts), and then let the results fall where they may, accepting you are right where you are supposed to be at the end of it, win or lose.
Lastly, I remember the Olympic creed, which states that the most important thing is not to win but to take part — just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well.
Good luck Vic, Susie and Jeff. Winning the FNS finale is not as important as what it took to get there, nor as important as where you will go after. Whoever wins, though, call me, and we'll chat about winning, and your new life. Because it's all about to change.

A Letter to Lenny, from the Rebel
Dear Lenny, Out of all the seasons of Food Network Star, I can think of only one other winner who has a personality as big as yours. Congratulations a...Comments (
113 )-
this season on FN star was the most boring of all, FN allowed these people to act like children and thinks this is what gets ratings and a audience, I just wanted to see cooking and how they grow, not all the back biting, i'm glad jeff won, but in all honesty, i really didn't care this year, last year was my climax for me, hard to beat that year. Aarti is FABU!!!!
Neil, capital letters and periods are you friend!!! Ignorance is unacceptable.
This season, in my opinion, showcased the most talented group thusfar. I am sorry but am not a big fan of the "Hardy Boys," "Ten Dollar Dinners" and Guy Fieri. I do watch Big Daddy's House and LOVE Aarti.
I read that Big Daddy's House was shown the door. Last time I checked, his picture is no longer on the FN homepage. Aaron was a PC pick from the beginning. He forgot to cook his protein and had to be reminded by one of the other contestants. He got more "takes" when making his promo.
This blog article was written just a touch too soon. Between the shove of Jeff when she lost out to then saying she wouldn't support Jeff's show; Mary beth comes across as a 2nd grader who had her candy taken away. Quite frankly, she looked like a poor, poor loser. I'd never read her blog becasue I don't respect her. And Bobby Flay said she didn't have the "cooking chops" about 10 times before she was booted. I was shocked she lasted as long as she did.
She never got over being mad at Jeff about assigning her to cook a duck as if he knew she couldn't do it. Anyone that moaned and complained as much as she did about the duck doesn't deserve a cooking show.
Yep! MB came off as very insecure and a sore loser to boot. Penny definitely outclassed MB at the reunion.
After seeing the reunion show last night I've changed my mind about Mary Beth and Penny somewhat. Penny was always slow, she was slow in the food truck, so I don't think she did it on purpose to sabotage Mary Beth in the Iron Chef challenge. On the reunion show Mary Beth really showed a dislike for Jeff while so many other contestants sang his praises which made me wonder if Penny was the problem all along or if Penny's attitude was the, in part, a result of the behavior aimed at her by Mary Beth. After the reuinion show I would rather see Penny get a show than Mary Beth.
I totally agree. Penny, as she said, was methodical. I think MB was pissed to have Penny as her soux chef. She was also still pissed at Jeff about him assigning her duck. Penny was far more interesting and 100 x a better cook than MB could ever hope to be.
I agree 100%!!! My view of MaryBeth completely changed after watching her horribly rude behavior towards Jeff during the reunion. Pro-Penny!
At this point, If all I had left in the kitchen was a dishwasher, I wouldn't hire Penny for a minute!
I was so disapointed that FN selected Penny to be on this year's competition for she was the most selfish, self-centered, egotistical competitor they have ever had. Every season has been a joy to watch and I always learn so much while I watch them try to achieve a dream. Melissa, your season was great and I rooted for you from the 1st night for you are gracious, pleasant and so knowledgeable about food that we all enjoy eating. I hope that next year the contestants will be screened more carefully for I can't watch another one like Penny. She is surely not a good example of women from the the Middle East for those I know are gracious ladies. Thank you for the blog for I always enjoy it.
Melissa, I'm sorry, but I disagree with some of what you have said. Mary Beth was a sore loser. She should have held her head up high and left with dignity. Mary Beth's performance in the reunion show gave those of us who watched her all season, new insight to the type of person she really is. At least with Penny you know where you stand. I was one of those viewers who didn't like Penny's attitude toward her fellow "stars", but after seeing Mary Beth's "poor me" portrayal and listening to her mean remarks, I'll take Penny any day! I absolutely will not read or watch anything done by Mary Beth.
I think Melissa's comment was written a little too soon. Mary Beth's comments on the reunion show and during the focus group showed her gracious loser demeanor to be short lived. Like it or not, Penny was the one showing more class during the final week than Mary Beth. Neither one showed the class or generosity of heart that the three finalists had. Mary Beth may have charmed some of the judges, but I for one will be happily recording the sandwich king each and every week, and am glad that I won't have to worry about avoiding Sunday Suppers. But I would really love to see some of those Middle Eastern recipes!
After watching the Reunion show, I was totally amazed by Mary Beth's reaction to losing out to Jeff. I thought prior to this that she was a class act. I have totally changed my opinion. What she did ranks her up there now in my mind with Penny. She dares to react to Penny, she's just like her.
After watching the reunion, the surprise villian of the series was Mary Beth! I was a fan through the show but alwasy thought Jeff should win. Well her rude behavior when asked about Jeff (her reactions were as if she was pressured by the judges to hug a murderer) displayed her drama-filled, entitled true colors. Jeff was the most entertaining person and will go very far in his career. I am shocked how un-mary beth like, Mary Beth acted towards him. I now know that Penny was not as insane as portrayed.
Sorry - but I think Mary Beth showed her true nasty colors at the end. She seemed bitter and snooty about losing to someone she apparently found to be "beneath" her. She never had the goods to be the next Food Network star - period. I guess I was fooled at first by Mary Beth - thought she was a sweet person - but just like Melissa promoting herself as the perfect housewife, who then morphed into the "I'm an executive" was just fake and disengenuous......So - I'm not surprised to see her defended by Melissa.

The Benghazi booby trap
The murder by Islamist terrorists of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Libya on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks has become one of the most contentious issues in the election. The administration has been flailing around, unsure of its facts, offering statements that turned out to be misleading. Republicans, led by Senator John McCain, have jumped on the errors by the State Department and the CIA that contributed to the confusion over our understanding of the slaughter in Benghazi, and backed an unrelenting press campaign attempting to show Barack Obama as either incompetent, a liar, or both.
Yet, despite six weeks of heavy pounding on Obama's approach to terrorism and national security, an issue that in the past has occupied Americans as a top priority, the president's reputation remains largely unscathed and, according to polls, voters still consider him more suited than Mitt Romney to run America's foreign and security policies. Why has such a virulent campaign to discredit Obama's record as commander-in-chief so conspicuously failed?
When John McCain first commented on the death of his friend Ambassador Stevens, he was careful with his words. After a wild accusation by Mitt Romney condemning the U.S. embassy in Cairo for blaming anti-western mob violence across the Arab world on a video that made fun of the prophet Mohammad, the senator from Arizona was reluctant to apportion blame for the American deaths. Asked on Sept. 13 about the administration's response to the killings, he said: "I think it was fine. By the way, Secretary of State Clinton gave a marvelous statement today." By last weekend, however, he was accusing the administration of "either cover-up or gross — the worst kind of incompetence, which doesn't qualify the president as commander in chief."
In the intervening six weeks there has been a dogged attempt to determine exactly who killed the ambassador and his men and why the administration at first gave the impression it was part of a general demonstration against the blasphemous video, but later under pressure conceded it was a carefully planned and poignant Sept. 11 attack by Islamists. Leading the charge against the president's competence is Rupert Murdoch's Fox News and New York Post, though CNN has also persistently questioned what went wrong in Benghazi, at the State Department, and at Langley.
Despite the campaign of denigration, a month after the murders voters were evenly split on whether they approved of the president's handling of the attack, with opinions divided almost entirely on party grounds. Independents tilted slightly towards disapproval. Poll evidence suggests that on the Benghazi attack Fox has been preaching to the choir. While Republicans have taken a keen interest in learning the details, Democrats are not engaged, and Independents remain split. More significantly, surveys show that despite attempts to lay the Benghazi deaths at Obama's door, since Sept. 11 there has been no shift in the numbers saying they prefer Obama to Romney when it comes to foreign affairs and national security. And Obama still has a significant lead when it comes to who voters trust to counter terrorism and who they would prefer to lead them into a crisis.
Last weekend, McCain described the confusion surrounding the Benghazi deaths as "as bad as Watergate." But there is a difference between the meticulous and often tediously thorough journalistic method of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and the rash and clumsy allegations made by Fox contributors whose motive appears to be merely to discredit the president come what may. Typical of Fox's forceful criticism of the president, who is held personally responsible for the deaths, was the network's legal expert (and Fox boss Roger Ailes's personal attorney) Peter Johnson Jr., who prefaced one line of inquiry with the words, "Did we trade off — and I have no evidence for this – did we trade off the lives of our ambassador and three others for that crowd?"
Just as there is a "Murdoch discount" for News Corp. shares, on account of Murdoch's buccaneer approach to business morality, so there is a "Murdoch discount" attached to Fox News reports. Its "Fair and Balanced" motto has long been an LOL line among journalists worldwide, but in the case of the Benghazi attacks, Fox News's reputation for misconstruing facts and waging poisonous ad hominem smears has counted against what began as a legitimate journalistic impulse — to discover why administration statements were so clearly at odds with what took place. What is more, Fox failed to uncover anything startling to persuade other news organizations to follow their lead.
But suspicion of Fox's motives is not the whole story. Romney has failed to convince voters that the Benghazi killings reflect badly on the president. At first he jumped the gun, wrongly accusing the U.S. embassy in Cairo of blaming the Benghazi attack on the anti-Muslim video when their statement attempting to ameliorate anger at the video was issued six hours before the lethal attack. Having been accused of making the deaths of Americans in the line of duty a partisan issue, Romney was inhibited from returning to the subject until the second debate. His inadequate grasp of the facts then led him to first accuse the president of misleading America, then recoil when it was plain he was not familiar with the president's use of the term "act of terror" in his Rose Garden statement on Sept. 12. Obama's invitation to "Please proceed, Governor" should have tipped off Romney that his intended coup de grace would soon become a coup de folie.
What the campaign to paint Obama as a dove has ignored is that when it comes to countering terrorism, particularly from Islamists, the president is a hawk. According to John Rizzo, CIA general counsel during the George W. Bush years, "His people made it clear that in the terrorism arena, he was going to be as tough, if not tougher, than the Bush people. … He and his people reviewed all existing ongoing CIA covert operations, and with the exception of aggressive interrogations, endorsed all of them, and doubled down on a number of them." Peter Baker of the New York Times points out that thanks to drone strikes, Obama is "the first Nobel Peace Prize winner with a kill list. … It's very disappointing to civil liberties supporters." What is unforgivable, perhaps, to neo-con chicken hawks is that Obama succeeded where they failed by summarily executing Osama bin Laden.

How about no media coverage? it's obvious what happened but the MMS is avoiding this like the the plague.
No wonder with articles like this…let's not worry about the fatcs of what happened and how it was handled let's demonize, Fox, McCain & Romney. Does that answer your question?
It's great when you can claim this is a booby trap for the GOP. Amazing!!!

Short for Answer: Because dead men tell no tales.
Recommendation for Author: Try being a real journalist rather than a propagandist.
The families should not have to hear this bickering! Whatever happened, just get to the truth andlet chips fall where they may! John McCain just seems petty to me now! I don't care how rich he is!
Your article is pithy with information; however, lacking in reputable substance, unless you consider the conjecture about an event you evidently know nothing about.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'What really matters is the children': Edwards
The inquiry into the 2005 slaying of Phoenix Sinclair didn't uncover new details about how she fell through the cracks of the child-welfare system Thursday.
Instead, it examined the credibility and motivation of Kim Edwards, the woman who cared for Phoenix much of her young life and then went after the provincial government when she learned the five-year-old had been murdered.
"I'm tired of being up on this stand and being attacked," Edwards said during cross-examination at the very inquiry for which she lobbied to occur.
Lawyers for both the province and child-welfare agencies questioned her motivations, her recollection of certain dates and events and where she was living before Phoenix was taken and killed in 2005 by the little girl's mother and her mother's boyfriend.
Edwards and her ex-husband, Rohan Stephenson, had already split up when they applied to Child and Family Services to become an official place of safety for Phoenix in 2003. Stephenson testified earlier Edwards wasn't living in their home at the time. Their application form to CFS said he moved out, not her.
"You were unaware CFS was relying on you and Ron to provide shelter and safety to Phoenix?" Gord McKinnon, the lawyer for the province, asked Edwards.
"Phoenix was relying on us," said Edwards. "CFS had no involvement with the child, despite what your records say."
McKinnon asked Edwards about the time Phoenix got an infection. Edwards said she took Phoenix to the doctor but, without an official health-card number for the child, the doctor wouldn't remove it.
"How difficult would it have been to get a health number for Phoenix... could you ask Steve (Sinclair, Phoenix's father)?" McKinnon asked.
Steve Sinclair was not "the easiest person to get a hold of," answered Edwards. She said she couldn't ask Manitoba Health for the information because she wasn't related to Phoenix.
"Was the reason you didn't request a medical card for Phoenix (because) you were trying to stay under the radar?" McKinnon asked, suggesting Edwards' own experience with child welfare as a teen mom was the reason she avoided CFS with Phoenix.
Edwards told the inquiry earlier that at age 17 she was in an abusive relationship and her daughter was taken into care. Commissioner Ted Hughes rejected a request to have Edwards' file entered as evidence.
On Thursday, McKinnon suggested to Edwards: "Your view is this apprehension was unwarranted and that is why you have a distrust of CFS."
"I was 17 years old and living with a man who beat me almost to death. I do not think the apprehension of my daughter was unwarranted... I was five-foot, 120 pounds and I couldn't protect my daughter," she responded.
From 2000 to the end of 2003, Edwards looked after Phoenix more than the child's mother or father but didn't alert CFS, the inquiry heard.
"Were you taking care of Phoenix to avoid CFS?" McKinnon asked.
"I was taking care of Phoenix because Steve (Sinclair) asked me to look after Phoenix... I wasn't trying to hide Phoenix from CFS."
But she admitted she didn't want Phoenix to end up in the system. "(Phoenix) was safe and she was happy and giggled every day," Edwards said before breaking down.
"Keep in mind what we're dealing with," she said sobbing. "My God. Everything is cold, hard facts here."

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

History Explorer
Posted By Ashraf On January 15, 2009 @ 5:56 AM In Giveaway of the Day Reviews | 4 Comments
{rw_text}Giveaway of the day for January 15, 2009 is History Explorer [1] v 1.1.0
[rssless]————————-{/rw_text} –>
{/rw_good} –>
{/rw_bad} –>
{for="Features as Described" value="9″}Only give this a 9 because of one small…bug?… I ran into with the database limit.
{for="Ease of Use" value="8″}I give an 8 low score because it has an inferior method of navigating your computer.
{for="Usefulness" value="8″}Contrary to popular belief, I think with the ability to designate specific files/folders, this program can be useful to many people – who doesn't have at least one important file they work on?
{/rw_score} –>
I really hate developer who just decide not to make their software Vista compatible. I really hope they dont keep up the same trend when Windows 7 comes out. That being said, officially this program does not support Vista. So for any bugs/functionality errors, you may want to double check them on a non-Vista machine seeing as I am running on Vista 32-bit. While we are on the topic, Vista users will have to run History.exe as Administartor otherwise the license will not be recognized. Yes, you will have to run as Administrator every time. Some people may suggest that running in compatibility mode will fix this issue. Yes it will. However, if you run in compatibility mode, the program will stop working properly, i.e. it won't pick up your back ups anymore.
So as for the installation and registration, they went okay except for that Vista-license-not-recognized issue I described above.
Today I was a little late in grabbing the giveaway so I had a chance to read some comments on GOTD before checking out this program. The comments made, along with the description given on GOTD, mislead me into thinking that History Explorer would back up every single file that I save/edit on my computer. This could not be more false. Can History Explorer back up every single file on your computer? From the looks of it, yes it can. Will it? Only if you tell it to. And that seems to be a key feature that people are missing. This program will only backup files that you want, not every single file on your computer. And with that ability, the useful of this program increases ten fold because everyone has at least some kind of file that they would like to be backed up while being allowed to make changes…first thing to come to my mind is resumes. Also, the program does not just put backed up files everywhere on the computer – it stores it in a database. There is also a built in ability to warn you if that database gets bigger then X MB. Then you have the ability to cleanup that database. So yes while there is a possibility of this program eating up your hard drive space, if you are intelligent about it, that probably will not happen.
Okay enough of my rant. When you first run the program you will be prompted to include My Documents in your back up. I forgot to take a screenshot of this so I can't show you, but you will have to option of adding it or skipping it. If you decide to skip, you can always add it later on. This is what the program looks like:
Before we go on, the first thing you want to do is go to Tools -> Settings:
The file types that you have checked above will be the file types that are backed up in folders that you designate. Like for example if you set your Downloads folder to be backed up (I will explain how you can do that a bit later on), all the .doc files will be backed up in there, but the .exe files will not if you only have "Office workers" checked. Click on "Show me" to see exactly what file types will be backed up. If the file type that you would like backed up is not include in the list, you can add it manually where it says "Other file types". You will also be able to manually designate individual files to be backed up – more on that later. While we are on the topic of settings, click on the "Database" tab:
The database size is a big issue and concern for many people. And rightly so. The database can get very big very quickly depending on how many backups you have and how big they are. Now I cannot say for sure, because the documentation does not go into detail about it, but I do not think the program compressess files when they are being backed up. Anyway, it really doesn't matter how the files are backed up – rather only the database size is important.
As you can see, you can set a 'limit' to your database, so to speak. The program claims that you will be warned if the database reaches X MB. However, in my testing, and keep in mind I am on the not-officially-supported Vista, I was not given a warning when my database exceeded X MB but rather the program just stopped recording backups. Take from that what you will.
Also, you can limit how big files you want backed up ("Maximum File Size"). While are you are at it, if you hit "Calculate" you will be able to see how big your database is. Lastly, you have the ability to clean your database – hit "Clean". The program will automatically clean out your database. What files are deleted depends on the age of the file, the size of the file, and how many backups exist.
Now that we are done with settings, lets get onto the good stuff. There are three parts of the program window we are mainly concerned about:
Before we go on, let me express my viewpoint that the developer really missed a trick when he/she decided to create the file list this way ("FTP" style is how I would describe it) instead of the hierarchical tree format where each subdirectories and folders were listed beneath with the ability to view/unview them easily. This current method of file list is inferior in my opinion – makes it much harder to navigate your computer. Holla if you get what I mean.
That being said, you may notice that by some files above there is a yellow star, by others there is a gray star, by others there is a red star, while others have no start at all. If a file has a yellow star by it, it indicates that the file is being backed up. Any changes to that file will be recorded. If a folder has a yellow star by it, it means all the contents of that folder are being backed up according to your settings (the file types we discussed earlier). If a file has a red star by it, it means that the file was being backed up and it has been deleted (History Explorer counts cut + pasting a file in another directory as being 'deleted'). You have the ability to access the file before it was deleted. The gray star, which is by a folder, indicates that the folder it self is not being fully backed up but there are files inside that folder that are being backed up.
Recall that earlier I mentioned that you can add individual files to be backed up. To do this, right click on a file in the file list:
Just select "Include File in Backup" and that file will start being backed up (a yellow star should be placed by it). You can also, as you see, makes files of that type, in general, to be backed up. If you do use that option of "Include files of this type", the file type will be added to "Others" in settings that we discussed earlier.
While we are on the same note, you can also remove specific files from the backup and remove specific file types from being backed up. Just right click on a backed up file/file type that you want removed:
Besides month and hour, you can set the zoom to 6 hours, day, week, 3 months, year, 4 years, 10 years. Ok so now you see the timeline bars are a lot bigger because the scale has changed from month to hour. Each 'row' in the timeline corresponds to a specific file on the left in the file list. Each 'segment' of that 'row' corresponds to a specific revision or backup of the file (as you click on a segment, different entries in the 'backed-up list' are being highlighted). Counter intuitively (for me at least), the latest version/revision of the file is on the right hand end of the each 'row' as opposed to the left. If you double click on a segment, History Explorer will open up the revision/backup associated with that segment.
If a segment/row is gray, that means the file is not being backed up. If a segment is green, that means the file is being backed up but the green segment is associated with an older version of the file. If the segment is blue that means the file is being backed up and the blue segment is associated with the newest version of the file. If a segment is red that means the file was being backed up but it was deleted. As you can see, if you click on the green before the red, you will be able to access the file in the state it was in before it was deleted.
One last interesting thing I found by fluke that I would like to mention before we move on. If you right click on a segment, there is an option that allows you to view the state of the folder that file was in at the time of the segment:
The folder will display the state of all the backed up file as they were at that specific time.
As you can see, if the file you have right clicked on is an old version, you can have it replace the current version of have by clicking on "Replace the file with this version". Other then that, you can save as old version as its own file by clicking "Save As". You can add a comment to that specific entry by clicking "Edit Comment" (to remind yourself of what is in it maybe). You can also copy that old version ("Copy").
Also as I mentioned earlier, each entry in this 'backed-up list' corresponds to a segment on the timeline.
Besides all that I mentioned above, there is just one more 'option' worth mentioning. If you go under "View", you have the ability to choose if you want to see all the files in the specific folder you are in in the file list, or just the files that are being backed up by History Explorer:
Overall, I think the concept of History Explorer is nice, and it does its designated job pretty freaking well. However, I believe there are still a few kinks the developer has to work out:
Free Alternatives:
FileHamster [13] (thx Bill)
FileHamster provides real-time backup and archiving of your files while you work. It enables you to monitor specific files on your hard drive and automatically create incremental backups whenever those files are modified. It also enables you to store notes about the changes that have been made, allowing you to quickly locate a specific revision or provide a detailed account of the work you've done on a project.
It has many features, but is very easy to use and does not require any technical expertise – just point it to the directory or file you want to monitor/backup and it will do the rest.
- Designed for Artists
- Real-time Backup
- Plugin Support
- Simple Interface
I found FileHamster to be really nice. It basically does the same thing as History Explorer with a new changes here and there. It is a bit more complex also then History Explorer – it gives you a little bit more options. However, FileHamster has the ability to start up on windows boot and to run in the background (minimize to system tray) which are two key features I give it over History Explorer.
PMnet Verdict: History Explorer is a pretty nice program. It does exactly what it is designed to do, and gives you full control over what is/is not backed up. The simplicity of History Explorer and the control it gives the user are its key features. However, as I mentioned above, there are a few extra features the developer has to add, mainly the feature to start up on Windows boot and the ability to be minimized in system tray/run in the background. Now yes you can make History Explorer do both these tasks via external programs, but it really should be supported natively. While I really liked History Explorer, especially the timeline feature, until the developer adds these two key features, I suggest sticking with FileHamster. FileHamster is a little bit more complex then History Explorer but it more or less does the same thing – plus it is always free.
