Deal Reached on Ukraine Crisis; Pro-Russian Separatists Stay Put
Talks aimed at easing the crisis in Ukraine have produced an agreement calling for pro-Russian groups to surrender government buildings in the eastern part of the country. The United States, Russia, Ukraine and European Union all backed the deal, which calls for the groups to disarm and vacate occupied areas. But the deal appears unlikely to ease tensions between the United States and Russia as Russian troops remain massed along Ukraine's border. Speaking Thursday, President Obama warned the United States could take more steps if Russia does not back down.
President Obama: "Our strong preference would be for Mr. Putin to follow through on what is a glimmer of hope coming out of these Geneva talks. But we're not going to count on it until we see it. And in the meantime, we're going to prepare what our other options are."
Ukraine has offered amnesty to pro-Russian separatists as long as they are not suspected of serious crimes. But those occupying the government building in the city of Donetsk are so far refusing to leave.
Anti-Semitic Flier in Eastern Ukraine Denounced as Provocation
Masked men in Donetsk reportedly handed out fliers to Jewish people this week calling for them to register and pay a fee of $50. While the leaflets purported to be from a pro-Russian leader, the group has denied any involvement. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the fliers.
Secretary of State John Kerry: "In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable, it's grotesque. It is beyond unacceptable."
The pro-Russian separatists have denounced the fliers as a provocation, and the supposed order has not been enforced.
Novelist Gabriel García Márquez Dies, Author of "100 Years of Solitude"
The legendary novelist Gabriel García Márquez has died at the age of 87. He is widely regarded as one the century's greatest writers. In his home country of Colombia, President Juan Manuel Santos has declared a day of mourning. García Márquez's masterpiece, "One Hundred Years of Solitude," sold more than 50 million copies in 25 languages. In 1982, he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature.
Gabriel García Márquez: "Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable. This, my friends, is the crux of our solitude."
We'll spend the hour honoring Gabriel García Márquez in his own words and with the novelist Isabel Allende after headlines.
Iran Ahead of Schedule on Nuclear Deal; U.S. Releases Funds
Iran is ahead of schedule on diluting its supply of nuclear material under an agreement with the United States and other world powers. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran has reduced its stock of highly enriched uranium by nearly 75 percent. State Department spokesperson Marie Harf said the United States has taken steps to release $450 million in frozen Iranian funds.
Marie Harf: "To remind people, to this point all sides have kept the commitments made in the Joint Plan of Action. As Iran remains in line with its commitments under the JPOA, the United States and its P5+1 partners and the European Union will continue to uphold our commitments, as well."
Gunmen Attack U.N. Base Sheltering Civilians in South Sudan
In South Sudan, at least 20 people were killed when gunmen attacked a United Nations base where thousands of civilians were sheltering. A spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack.
Stéphane Dujarric: "This attack on a location where civilians are being protected by the United Nations is a serious escalation. The secretary-general reminds all parties that any attack on United Nations peacekeepers is unacceptable and constitutes a war crime."
On Wednesday, Ban Ki-moon warned up to a million people are facing famine in South Sudan unless immediate action is taken by the international community.
Former Salvadoran General Faces Deportation from U.S. for Role in Killings
A former defense minister of El Salvador is facing deportation from the United States for his role in atrocities during the 1980s, including the murder of Archbishop Óscar Romero and the massacre of more than 1,000 people in El Mozote. Judge Michael Horn found General José Guillermo García helped hide the involvement of soldiers in the 1980 killing of four U.S. churchwomen in El Salvador. Judge Horn said García "fostered, and allowed to thrive, an institutional atmosphere in which the Salvadoran armed forces preyed upon defenseless civilians under the guise of fighting a war against communist subversives." At the time, the United States was heavily backing the Salvadoran military. García received political asylum in the United States in 1990. The judge's decision was issued in February, but released to The New York Times last week.
19 Arrested Protesting Deportations; Obama Blames GOP for Stalling Reform
Immigrants and their supporters from across New England blocked the entrance to a jail used to detain immigrants in Boston Thursday to protest the Obama administration's record deportations, which have reached an estimated two million. Nineteen people were arrested while more than 150 others rallied to support them. The protesters want Massachusetts lawmakers to approve a bill limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities under the Secure Communities program. But speakers like Andrés del Castillo targeted President Obama.
Andrés del Castillo: "You are tearing us apart! You are allowing us, like in my family, not to testify to the fact that we suffer domestic violence, not to testify to the fact that we suffer so many different abuses! Why? Because we're afraid to call police! Why? Because the police will send us to these people! Because the police will send our moms and our dads to jail! ... I also want to say, I direct that message directly to the president of the United States of America, Barack Obama! That is to you, as a son of an immigrant! As a son of someone else that comes from a different land, you should know better than any that we deserve rights, that we deserve dignity, and you should be recognizing our families!"
Family members of immigrants in detention or facing deportation have launched a hunger strike outside the White House as part of the #Not1More [deportation] campaign. Speaking Thursday, Obama placed the blame on House Republicans for blocking comprehensive immigration reform.
President Obama: "I know there are Republicans in the House, as there are Republicans in the Senate, who know this is the right thing to do. I also know it's hard politics for Republicans, because there are some in their base that are very opposed to this. But what I also know is that there are families all across the country who are experiencing great hardship and pain because this is not getting resolved."
9/11 Tribunal Adjourns amid Claims of FBI Spying on Defense Team
The military tribunal for five men accused of planning the 9/11 attacks has been adjourned until June following reports the FBI tried to infiltrate the defense team. The judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, acknowledged an apparent FBI investigation on Thursday. Defense attorneys say the FBI recruited a contractor on their team as a secret informant. Agents apparently approached the contractor as part of a probe into how journalists obtained a document written by one of the defendants, alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Youngest Person to Be Prosecuted for Terrorism in U.S. Gets 5-Year Sentence
The youngest person ever to be prosecuted on terrorism charges in the United States has been sentenced to five years in prison for his role in an online conspiracy to kill a Swedish artist. Mohammad Hassan Khalid was just 15 years old and living in Maryland when he began chatting online with a woman known as Jihad Jane, who is now serving a 10-year sentence for her role in the plot. Khalid's attorneys had argued for leniency, saying his age and other factors made him vulnerable.
Missouri Mayor: "I Kind of Agreed" with Frazier Glenn Miller
Residents in the town of Marionville, Missouri, are calling for the resignation of their mayor after he made statements supporting the anti-Semitic views of Frazier Glenn Miller, the white supremacist charged with killing three people at two Jewish community sites in Kansas last weekend. Mayor Daniel Clevenger, who was just elected on Tuesday, came under fire after speaking to a local TV station about Miller.
Daniel Clevenger: "He was always nice and friendly and respectful of elder people. You know, he respected his elders greatly, as long as they were the same color as him. ... I kind of agreed with him on some things, but I don't like to express that too much."
Report Finds Major Flaws in Handling of FSU Rape Case
A new report exposes critical flaws in the handling of a rape case involving star Florida State University football player Jameis Winston. In December, the local prosecutor said he lacked evidence to charge Winston. About a week later, Winston won the Heisman Trophy. Now The New York Times reports "there was virtually no investigation at all, either by the police or the university." Police closed the case without interviewing Winston, obtaining his DNA, or following "obvious leads" to identify witnesses, including one who videotaped the alleged assault. The university also failed to take action, allowing Winston to keep playing football. The mishandling appears to extend to other cases at FSU, and the report comes as students across the country demand their schools take action to hold students who commit sexual assault accountable. This week Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri announced what she called an "unprecedented" survey sent to 350 colleges and universities to collect information on how they handle sexual assault.
WBAI Radio Journalist Robert Knight Dies
The radio journalist Robert Knight has died. Over the years, Knight co-founded the investigative news series "Contragate," later known as "Undercurrents," and hosted "Five O'Clock Shadow" and "Earthwatch" on New York City's Pacifica radio station WBAI. He won the George Polk Award for his radio reporting on the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama.

Pastor Saeed Abedini has thanked President Barack Obama for visiting his wife, Naghmeh, and two children last week in Boise, Idaho. Abedini, who is serving an eight-year sentence in Iran for his faith, said that Obama's gesture inspired many persecuted Christians around the world.
"I was personally encouraged that you were in my hometown of Boise, Idaho and made time to visit my wife and children," Abedini wrote.
"They have had a heavy burden to carry in my absence, and your presence helped to relieve some of that burden. . . Thank you again for standing up for my family and I and for thousands of Christians across the world who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. President Obama, you have my prayers from inside of these walls. I pray for God's guidance, wisdom and blessing for you as you lead this great nation." more >>
Although Speaker of the House, John Boehner, R-Ohio, has been criticized by many staunch conservatives for his willingness to compromise with President Barack Obama, the speaker claimed Wednesday that he "was the Tea Party" before the Tea Party even existed.
In an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, the 65-year-old was asked whether or not he thinks he can unite a divided Republican Party and get the GOP-majority to work together to repeal some of Obama's policies.
"I do," Boehner responded. "Listen, I was the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party." more >>
In a new propaganda video released earlier this week, the Islamic State terrorist organization has threatened to behead President Barack Obama and spread Shariah law by converting the United States into one of ISIS' Muslim provinces.
The video, titled "Bombardment of Peaceful Muslims in the City of Mosul," which was released on Monday and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, is thought to be a retaliation after Kurdish forces fully seized control of the strategic Syrian border town of Kobane on the same day.
The first part of the video shows the destruction caused in Mosul due to mortar shelling from Kurdish forces. The second part of the video goes on to show an ISIS fighter beheading a captured Kurdish soldier. more >>
On January 17th Sound Vision Foundation, a Chicago-based 501 (C) 3 organization held a "Stand with the Prophet" event in Garland, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, at the Curtis Culwell Center on Independent School District property. The event, permitted by the Superintendent of Public Schools, launched a Strategic Communication Center for Muslims to advocate censoring and criminalizing non-Muslim speech.
Sound Vision asks: "Frustrated with Islamophobes defaming the Prophet? Remember the Danish cartoons defaming the Prophet? Or the anti-Islam film, "Innocence of Muslims"?" After Muslim "defenders of Muhammad" recently murdered 16 people in Paris, and continue to persecute millions of Christians and non-Muslims worldwide, Sound Vision expressed its commitment to "defending Muhammad."
They claim: "This is not an event. It is the beginning of a movement. A movement to defend the Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message." They assert "attacks" against Muslims stem from "media defamation" of their religion and that "Islamophobia is causing problems all around the world." more >>
"No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change."
So said President Barack Obama in his State of the Union message last week.
That he spent under 5% of the speech on the subject—about one-ninth as much as on the economy, one-fifth as much as on our need to overcome cynicism, and a little less even than on affordable college education—and tucked it away in a section about two-thirds of the way through suggests that the President doesn't really believe it himself. more >>
President Barack Obama said that those who believe he is not a Christian do not know him, but even if he were not a Christian, there would be nothing wrong with that. Obama made the remarks in a speech in New Delhi, where he called on India to do more to safeguard religious freedom.
"In our lives, Michelle [Obama] and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. Still, as you may know, my faith has at times been questioned — by people who don't know me — or they've said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing," Obama said, according to ABC News.
"Every person has the right to practice their faith how they choose, or to practice no faith at all, and to do so free from persecution and fear." more >>

22 Comments on Howls of protest light up Interior
I wish i could have been at the gathering of people dedicated to protecting these magnificent animals but I am on the other side of the pond. Keep up the good work and I hope that all you are doing does not fall on deaf ears. I agree that it is abhorrent that some group cam call themselves "Idaho for wildlife;' when they just want to kill the wolves and other animals.
Neville Burns.
Good thing there are still people who care about wolves
Sally Jewell cannot ignore this plea. Congratulations on the most creative presentation ever!
I am glad that so many people, nearly a million, let the government know that delisting the grey wolf should not happen. In fact, the wolf killing should be stopped everywhere it is now occurring. Too many wolves are being killed right now, and it needs to stop.
Yes, thank you to all who stood outside in the cold and rain to make our voices heard. We'll never give up on the wolves!
I want to commend the efforts of Rachel Weil of Weil Public Relations. Ms. Weil orchestrated a campaign on the Wolves behalf, approaching over 15 celebrities to encourage their admirers to submit comments online. During her campaign (the last 2 weeks), the online comment count increased from 200,000 submitted comments to 430,000 submitted comments. It may very well be Ms. Weil's campaign that put the total comment count over 1 million.
Thanks and howls to Rachel Weil.

The Animal News Hour
You guys are heroes for the actions you're taking and all the hard work in organizing the petition and the events in Washington. Truly inspiring!
They are protected here in NM and AZ. But no where else in the US. They should be protected every where in the US period. Thank you U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in NM and AZ for keeping the protection of our wolves safe here and in AZ.
you do not know what you are talking about Roxanne.
Thank you and Thank you for weathering the cold weather and all your efforts and for speaking out in public in front Jewell's window – I can't thank you enough! Now, I hope Jewell will recognize how much trouble the wolves are in and how the recent changes in law have unleased a minion of serial animal killers into the woods to seek out and destroy the wolves.
Thank you for all you are doing for the wolves
thank you for delivering ower message ,we will all stand tall and fight for as long as needed
Well done, everyone! I hope the Gray Wolf will remain protected. It's the right thing to do. Thank you.
Thank you so much for organizing this. I hope the Secretary realizes that for every one of those million comments there are so many more people who didn't realize there was a comment period going on, or who missed the deadline, but support the idea of having wolves remain on the endangered list. I have people ask me regularly about what the status is, always expecting that these animals are being protected, and appalled when they find that this is no longer be the case in the main states that actually have populations of wolves, and may no longer be the case in states that wolves are dispersing into, like California and Washington. Keep up the incredible work! Keep hope alive, keep wolves alive!
thank you all, who gave comments, went to this and stood vigil in the rain and the candles lit. i wish i could've been there. We do need to save our wolves and now that the remarks are closed that the fate of wolves will be to keep them endangered. We need wolves.
Thank you all for standing up for wolves! How some people can think it's OK to eradicate an entire species is unbelievable! Keep up the good fight! Sooner or later, hopefully, someone will listen!
Thank you for standing up for wolves ! We can only hope than millions of voices will be heard, but living in Idaho where some think it's OK to have a wolf derby and pay money to shoot wolves, I am not convinced much will change ! In Salmon Idaho, they are hosting a wolf & coyote derby ! It's on their FB page at "Idaho for Wildlife".. it should say Idaho for killing wildlife !!! Disgusting !
Great job, everyone who carried the message to Fish and Wildlife, and to D.C. residents at Union Station. Journey is really cool looking, and a great mascot for the cause. Well done!!
Thank you to all the dedicated partners who comprise the Endangered Species Coalition. There is genuine power in collaboration and unity! And, I remain hopeful that a million voices will be heard and acknowledged due to this effort. The mission in education and advocacy continues…
Keep fighting for the gray wolves. They only occupy 5% of the territory that they used to. They need to be kept on the endangered species list!
The Canadian Grey Wolf is NOT endangered! !!! Coming to a city near you, sooner then you think!!

Bright walls (Pratt & Lambert's Premium Yellow) and a rattan Pottery Barn sofa make sure that the "winter porch" in this New Hampshire home always seems summery. A rough-hewn Sundance coffee table and nature-themed Design Legacy throw pillows enhance the room's laid-back vibe.
In this Cape Cod home, the owners painted over the living room's dark-pine paneling and then reupholstered their old sofa in the same complementary hue. The walls are painted Cambridge Heights by Benjamin Moore.

A tablet what???
Last time I checked, a tablet was a bunch of sheets of writing paper. God, how frustrating and complicated things become.
I have seen articles talking about them but they just confuse me. These are just computers as far as I can tell. Do you buy one and then end up buying more software to put in them? Can you use them to surf gardenweb like I do from a PC? Yeah, I know about reading books, which interests me because my Mother likes to read but I am sooo incredibly confused that I do nothing. She lives in a house without access to the Internet.
Do you have to buy a model with a huge hard disk in order to store all the software that you want. How much would it cost to put IE, for example, so one can surf the next?
TIA, Luis
That is a lot of info you are looking for and not trying to be crass or anything, but you should do a google search for "what is a tablet computer" to give you a general idea of what one is. Check out the link below..you might also take a trip to Best Buy or somewhere like that and have a sales person give you a bit of a run thru on one..seeing is believing..an no, you wont be able to use Internet explorer..Microsoft does not offer an operating system for tablets, choices are Android, Blackberry or Apple
Here is a link that might be useful: What is a tablet.
they come with an operating system on them most are Android or there are the Apple products and recently Microsoft joined in too with windows version.
you can not put IE on one (that is a windows only product)but they all do come with a browser and you can add many more all are free apps , there are tons of free app or programs one for pretty much anything you would want to do and a large majority are free.
You can add a small memory card into most tablets but not all which increases the size of the memory all the memory is flash so it takes very little room. There are no "hard drives" as you are thinking of.
You can do pretty much everything you would do on a pc with one. Yes I am on GW here all the time on mine. If I don't feel like sitting at my computer I pick up my tablet and use it from where ever I am comfortable. I do have wireless internet in my home so I can do that from anywhere.
Just check out some of the posts that have been here about tablets and do some googling.
They are a lot of fun, easy to use and very portable.
There's another choice coming soon. The Microsoft Surface tablets are coming. Their OS will be Windows 8 and probably include IE if you like it. The first model will be available in October with the next level due a couple of months later. I have no interest in a tablet but was interested because I have been dual booting Windows 8 preview release and unless you have a touch screen monitor and are used to using a tablet I don't think you'll be interested. I bought a new computer not long ago and can sign up to get Windows 8 Pro for $14.95 when it's released but haven't bothered and doubt that I will.
genes: thanks for the link. I will check it out. Yes, I have already been at Best Buy, Walmart and Office Depot on prior weeks but they just want to sell and not explain.
ravencajun: no hard drives? well, that makes sense because they look so thin that I was wondering how did they fit a hard drive in there. Where do they store stuff then? Those 4MB of memory sound too small to store software. Good to know they come with a browser as I was planning to give it to my mother and she would probably like to surf and somehow email.
How do you handle that activity (email) with tablets? Go to yahoo.mail or google mail and do as usual? Or something different? And a stupid question, how would you type using a tablet???
bob414: yeah, I remember seeing an article with "MS Surface Tablet" in the title. Could not stop to read it though. Do you figure it is going to be a "regular" tablet? Not sure I would have called it that. What's with the "surface" term in the product title???
Well not exactly a full fancy tablet but I have a kindle fire and love it. Posting from it right now as I lay comfy in bed. Only has wifi but I don't need an Internet connection while in the car or the extra expense of that so works for me and suits my needs. The best of bolth worlds an e-reader that lets me surf and check my mail, play games and watch my netflix. My poor lap top is so lonely now sitting next to the bed not being used. Mary
@ susieq07,
Not an android person, but found this information
"No Android does not "have" Java. It runs on an underlying Virtual Machine Google named Dalvik, which is similar to Java, but executes code differently.
What this means is Android does not natively run Java code (and barring a major sea change it never will officially. There have been some efforts in the non-official Android dev community to integate true Java into Android).
So if you're thinking can I drop my Java games on there and will they work, the answer is no. The same is true for websites that use Java code, they will not run on Android browser. There is a lot of marketing from Android-equipped device manufacturers about providing a "full" web experience because of Android's Flash support, but that ignores the Java issue."
I had been waiting on the new Kindle Fire, but come to find out thru diff articles, that most of the downloading content available will only be for the states and not Canada,,as a matter of fact some of the new Kindle fires will not be avail in Canada,,so looking at the Kobo Arc which is focused on Canadians...too bad..we must be bad second cousins or something
That is unfortunate genes and not right.
the biggest problem with the google nexus is that there is no memory card expansion slot so you are very limited in memory to only the on board memory. I use memory cards in all of mine and can not imagine not having that ability.
I have never with all of my Android tablets run into a negative situation due to no java.
It plays flash beautifully and there are tons of games specifically for Android.
With the latest critical flaws in java security I am leaning more and more to eliminating java.
My son was just here visiting and he had his new IPad with him. I don't impress easily about anything. This unit did impress me. If I had a more reliable high-speed connection I would buy one rather than the pending "toy" laptop I am going to buy when W8 comes out. Or, perhaps both.
Oh I see. Thanks for the article. I use my kindle fire almost every night for a lot of surfing and have not run into any problems about java so probably not an issue about the sites I go too.
I did how ever run into errors about needing the latest version of flash on sites and amazon does not put out updates for that. Stupid if you ask me. I used 1mobile and installed their app to get the latest flash update for my fire and then the problem went away. Mary
Like DA, I rely on 3G service for my internet. Since I am so limited in the amount of bandwidth I can use, I do not use my tablet and hardly ever use my laptop except to do updates. There are more of us than you might think who do not have reliable high speed service.
Acraftylady you are right, but as you mentioned in the latest versions of Android you can side load flash, it is not showing up on the Google play store.
I have seriously been thinking about getting rid of java also. I am getting a new pc and plan on going with out on it.
I will just have to see what comes up that I can't live without. One thing that does use it is open office and I definitely use it.
@ acraftylady
It's an infection risk, it's a magnet for infection.
As OS vendors get better about patching their own flaws, malware authors are increasingly turning to third-party code to get their dirty work done, and Java is high on the list. It's easy to say, "Just don't use Java," but what if a program you use requires it? I've got a list of problem apps and solutions."
See link for more from Ed Bott
Tablet PCs are not new - I bought one 6.5 years ago. Lenovo and HP were the leading suppliers then, maybe Toshiba too. Now there are those and several more.
An ipad/droid tablet-like device is a different product. They share some functions but the similarities end there. A tablet PC is a full PC, hard drive and all. Though some might even have a solid state drive these days. They're often slightly underpowered processor-wise to conserve battery life.
Tablets excel at web browsing, email, social media, and games. The trade off for weight and portability is lower powered processors, less storage, the lack of a physical keyboard, etc.
All include some kind of web browser and an email client, which will allow you to connect to your current email accounts(s). You can typically ad other browsers and email clients but I don't think that Internet Explorer will be an option for anything but a Windows tablet.
You will add apps but there are a lot of good, free apps out there and the ones you pay for usually aren't more than a dollar or two. So you download the free version of Angry Birds and see if you really like it before you pony up the dollar for the paid version
The tablet will be used by my mother, who is in her 80s. I would expect her to use it to read books, email and do a little surfing. Not sure if the people she may want to contact can use skype or similar applications for talking. She lives in a house with no Internet. She may want audio books too so the tablet should have speakers. A few questions for you guys:
1. Based on those specifications, I assume that the Kindles should not be considered?
2. Based on those specifications, I assume the tablet needs 4G (Wi-fi optional)?
3. Are batteries in tablet replaceable? Can I assume that I can recharge them but that at some ploint, I will need to replace them? I replacing a battery something we all can do somehow?
4. I do not seem able to find information on their hard drive capacity. Is the advertised RAM memory capacity the only thing where you can store applications?
As I had mentioned earlier you can add a memory card to most of them usually up to 32gb. That is a considerable amount of memory for a tablet. The apps are all very small and you would not want to have a lot of videos or other large files on it. Books are text so take up tiny amounts.
Batteries in most are not replaceable, some are but in general no. I assume you can send them back to have
it replaced.
If you get a 4g you will need to get a plan from a cellular company, you would need to look into those but be warned some tablets are l
Afew days ago I was looking for a tablet..my requirements were not demanding..I had settled on a Mediasonic 7" Android ICS for $108 and surprisingly it is very good and quite snappy..then lo and behold Wally World had the Blackberry Playbook 32GBs on sale for $118 reg $160ish..Snapped one of them up and very satisfied..suddenly I have two tablets..lol
I have had no problems and have had kindles for 2yrs now. That is how it works with kindles and it works just fine. No one but me has ever known my amazon password even before I got the fire and I change it every month. I change a lot of passwords monthly.
If your kindle is lost or stolen you log in online and deregister it and let amazon know then no one can buy stuff on your account and it's bricked from someone else being able to register it. Much the same as if your cell phone is lost or stolen. Then if you get a new one you just register it to your account and all your books and apps are on Amazon for reloading onto the new device.
I had to have my fire replaced by amazon due to a faulty charging port so this was very convienient for me. Same if you have the kindle reading app your pc or tablet or phone. Any books you buy are stored in your amazon account for reloading if you get a new tablet or pc.
Nice thing is if hubby and son get kindles I can register them to my account and they can have access to all the games and apps I bought where as if they got their own accounts they would each have to buy those apps and books separately. Amazon offers one paid app free every day so I have a ton of apps and games I have collected that way like monopoly is $5 but they had it free one day.
Also if you belong to amazon prime you not only get the free shipping deal but can borrow one free book a month from the kindle lending library. I can't say enough about amazons great customer service. Mary
I can do basically the same thing using online cloud storage and access it from any where with a connection. I can set it up to share and share it with whoever I chose to.
But having it all also on my device or memory card I have full access hto everything at all times not just when I have an Internet connection which to me is absolutely essential.
Then if I have to replace the tablet or get a new one I just move my memory card from the other one to the new one. I can have several memory cards too one with pictures and videos, one with music, etc if I want to. And I don't have to worry about some company deciding to lock me out of my account and purchased items which has happened to some people by Amazon. I think that is not acceptable since all those items in the persons library have been bought and paid for. I would be furious.
I like to have personal control over my stuff, I am not real trusting.
Yeah memory card is not important to me for the fire. Would be if I had another kind of tablet. When I am traveling all hotels we have stayed at have wifi and every McDonalds has free wifi so I can just pull into the parking lot and connect in so it has worked very well for me that way. Any apps amazon doesn't have I can side load them. Mary
I meant hackers getting into Amazon and those types of services. Then stealing stuff or damaging what you have. I read about them causing problems already some of those cloud services or as I call them, banks of hard drives. Once they get into those clouds, they would have access to everyones stuff. Doubt it is encrypted. Bothers me as I just got one of my cc's reissued because the bank detected a problem. Sigh...
I don't know have had the fire about 7 months and no problems like that or any problems in all my years having an amazon account. My friends have had their emails hacked or spoofed or what ever a ton lately compared to nothing happening to amazon. You just never know but this works best for me and my situation. Mary

Kevin Jonas is engaged!
The oldest Jonas Bro, 22, popped the question to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa, 21, today, his rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.
He surprised Deleasa, a former hairdresser, with a cushion-cut diamond ring he codesigned with Jacob & Co. by showing up at her New Jersey home this morning.
The couple met in May 2007 while on vacation in the Bahamas with their families.
"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. tell Us in a statement.
"Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date," they continue. "Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family's celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support."
In 2008, Kevin told Details he was waiting until marriage to have sex, and wearing a promise ring from Tiffany's in the meantime.
"It's pretty rock and roll," Kevin said. "It's getting banged up a little bit because of the guitar."

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said he is hopeful that Congress will win around 18-20 Lok Sabha seats in the state banking on his government's pro-masses schemes.
"I'm hopeful of winning 18-20 seats, day after tomorrow results will be out," Mr. Siddaramaiah told reporters in Bangalore after attending the Co-ordination Committee meeting of Karnataka Congress at KPCC office in Bangalore.
In the 2009 polls, the BJP had secured 19 seats, Congress six and JDS three. In the by-polls, the Congress had increased its tally to eight at the expense of JDS which lost two seats.
He said, "all our schemes, pro poor schemes....all these programmes will help us win this election."
On Cabinet reshuffle or expansion post the results, he said "after results we are going to go ahead with the process for MLC elections, after that filling up of three ministers and filling up of office-bearers for boards and corporation....all these things will be done."
Giving details of the meeting, Congress general secretary and in charge of party affairs in Karnataka Digvijaya Singh said, "We have reviewed the political situation in Karnataka. We also compliment the Chief Minister and his Cabinet for the good work which has been done in the last one year."
He said "we have also decided to request the PCC president to chalk out a six-month-programme for Pradesh Congress Committee; we also decided to have a Pradesh Congress Committee delegate conference sometime in June where we would like to invite Congress president and the vice president."
"As far as I'm concerned they have done exceedingly well, they have scored distinction," Mr. Singh said on the performance of the Siddaramaiah government which completed one year in the office on Tuesday.
Mr. Singh said "... CM has been able to lead the state in areas of development, also we are quite convinced that under his leadership the Congress party will do well in the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka."

Nathalie had the baby and Urquiza had the exhibit... We stumbled upon this issue focus during some deep conversation about so many questions within our respective industries. The focus group of Susan Moon '06, Kristen Johnson '06, Annette Fellinger '02 and our editorial staff had the most visceral reactions when the subject of hiring practices came up. This became our starting point for the process of discovery. It is obviously illegal and immoral to judge prospective employees on prejudices, but our minds, as well intentioned as they are, rely on our first impressions and our interpretations. A first impression tells us about another's capabilities. That impression acts much like how we perceive brands and open ourselves to loyalty. It is the first impression that defines our personal style to others. Is it confident? Smart? Creative? So, we embark on this diary of style. editorial kim askew belissa cohen victoria namkung patricia anne perez '05 karyn taylor okelo '05 owner/designer sovereignty ko collection email@example.com bo > b o s t o n mi > m i a m i alejandro perez '97 zeke fernandez design email@example.com to > t o r o n t o , o n melissa hopkins '06 sales, lingerie nordstrom firstname.lastname@example.com ga > g u a d a l a j a r a , m x . taryn ito '02 merchandiser. wilson apparel amerella canada ltd. firstname.lastname@example.com vc > v a n c o u v e r , b . c . erratum oops we did it again... julie lopez '03 sales manager vari designs s.a. de c.v. email@example.com hk > h o n g k o n g carrie zack '02 event and lifestyle planner carrie zack events email@example.com bk > b a n g k o k , t h flora hui '97 product development manager freedom industrial corp., ltd. firstname.lastname@example.com janice chen '93 gm.. la fandere intl. co. ltd. firstname.lastname@example.com dusadee vutipongsatorn '05 assistant product manager maybelline new york email@example.com ty > t o k y o , j p matt wignal tw > t a i w a n a (a) In our article Citizen Kang from issue 21 the photo credit should go to Matt Wignal. susan considine '06 freelance product developer firstname.lastname@example.com pl > m a n i l a , p l sg > s i n g a p o r e pamela wigglesworth '85 partner. kids-tee-off firstname.lastname@example.com is > t e l a v i v , i s charmaine chua '01 v. p. melawares mfg. corp firstname.lastname@example.com ia > n e w d e l h i , i a abigail auerbach '01 product development manager. castro email@example.com gm > f r a n k f u r t , g m b (b) We would also like to apologize to faculty member Ryan Nellis.

This recent alumna's work has been featured in magazines such as Jezebel, Statement, Vegas Essential, Golf for Women, and Vanidades, among others. She has worked with celebrities including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Neil Patrick Harris, Dancing With the Stars' Cheryl Burke, Jason Alexander, Roselyn Sanchez, and Katey Sagal and is represented by the Crystal Agency in Los Angeles. "I recently started working for the junior's label Privacy Wear and did their visual merchandising, windows, booths and fashion shows at MAGIC this year," says Melinda, who received a Professional Designation Associate of Arts Degree in Visual Communications in 2006. "I was constructing and building props, timing the fashion show, using Photoshop for my sketches, and I never would have been able to do all of that without FIDM." After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Public Administration with a major in Marketing from the University of Arizona in 2001, Melinda headed to northern California to work for Mervyn's as a Divisional Marketing Leader. During her four years with the retail giant, she collaborated with women's ready-to-wear buyers to coordinate merchandise for weekly circular advertising, was responsible for strategic advertising planning, and managed the Associate Divisional Marketing Leader for the Men's Division. She also worked as a Senior Marketing Planner for Mervyn's where she drove sales and brand imaging for companies such as Nike, Adidas, Sketchers, and Gloria Vanderbilt. However, Melinda was feeling it was time for a change so when her husband had a job opportunity in Los Angeles, she went for it. Upon their 2005 arrival in Los Angeles, a producer friend invited Melinda to hang out on a shoot. "She had an ulterior motive," Melinda explains of her industry pal. "She thought I should be a stylist and thought I had a flair for fashion and was organized. I started meeting with stylists and learning more about the industry." Melinda started assisting stylists, but felt that she needed more formal training and a solid foundation. "I had a business background, but not so much a creative," she adds. "I had thought about going back to school many times over the years, but the timing was never really right." After enrolling at FIDM, she quickly landed an apprenticeship in the Giorgio Armani Public Relations Office thanks to Cindy Patino at the Career Center, with whom Melinda remains close. Her new career feels like the perfect fit to Melinda, who has also styled celebrities for the 64th Annual Golden Globes and worked on a wedding special for Hanging out backstage the Women's Entertainment Network. And while she Tarbell creating before the fashion spends her days dressing others, Melinda has a one of five display shows at MAGIC. definite style that is all her own.

Melinda describes her style as bohemian and says she usually is found in a flowing dress with big earrings. "Even if I'm in denim I'll wear sandals and an oversize top that is loose," she reports.

It is literally what drives me to get out of bed! What I wear is an expression of how I'm feeling on any given day, and a reflection of who I am. My closet is filled with a mixture of old and new. I have several vintage dresses passed down from my ninety-two year-old grandmother, mixed in with my favorite BCBG, H&M, Banana Republic, and various boutique finds. Today, I'll be riding my beach cruiser down on Main Street in Santa Monica. I reach for my Guess cropped red skinny jeans (I always start my creation with one piece that jumps out, and then the rest usually falls into place). I want to keep it fresh and summery, so I quickly grab a white baby doll tank top I recently purchased from the LF store on Montana Avenue. I add my French Connection black stretchy belt and my silver round-toe quilted flats. I have a beautiful amethyst ring I inherited from my Nana that's just gorgeous and personalizes my look. I'm unsure where the day will take me and it may be that this look has to carry me into the evening, so I grab a BCBG black long sleeved wrap that I could throw over if need be and I'm out the door! (Q): When was style born? What about personal style? (A): Style has been around since the dawn of humanity. If you had beautiful shells to decorate your animal skins you would stand out in the tribe and be imitated—The same goes for feathers or silk or gold embroidery through the ages. Personal style is a modern concept, which started in the late 1960s. Before that time there was an accepted style that anyone who prescribed to fashionable status followed. Everyone wore whatever was in fashion until a new fashion came along and was adopted. — kevin jones '92, curator, fidm museum & galleries oldworld charm yoshihiro makino, www.yoshimakino.us (Q): Do you think that groups are united and connected by their style? If punk rockers and country club goers dress similarly does that create a tribal connection, for example? (A): I believe it is the people who march to a different drummer or people who take something that is mainstream and make it their own. These are people with style. To wear a uniform just to fit into a particular group is the antithesis of style. — doris raymond, vintage historian and owner, the way we wore (Q): How do you know if someone has style? (A): Style is a person's unique stamp. It's all about how you wear your clothes, not what or whom you are wearing. The gals that know how to wear a look with a personal twist are the gals who have style. That comes from knowing yourself and having confidence and flair. — janine blain '86, west coast director, doneger (Q): With all the emphasis on styling and celebrity stylists, does the person being dressed still have their own style? (A): For celebrities it can be a daunting task to track down a style they are after, so it is much easier to gather a collection of that particular style and then the celebrity can choose based on what the stylist pulls. From my experience, celebrities do have their own style. I have worked with very few people who just let you dress them with no direction as to their personal tastes or style. — christine bean '06 assistant costume designer, misguided yoshihiro makino, www.yoshimakino.us 1 0 What I can't live without is heels. I always have heels on even while I'm toting around my 10 month-old baby. I love Jimmy Choo's and Manolos and my uniform is usually jeans, heels and a cute t-shirt. If I was going out for the evening, I think I'm a bit old fashioned and love Diane Von Furstenberg dresses. She to me is the epitome of style. And I like big Chanel sunglasses like Jackie O; the bigger the better. I think I have eight different suits Tom Ford designed—suits when he was at Gucci. For day-to-day, J. Crew rocks my world at the moment. For being a mom and needing to have some staples I just think they're really great. As long as you have amazing shoes and an amazing handbag you're set. My style has helped me get two jobs. The first was an interview at Calvin Klein in New York. I went in with a brand new Armani suit. My boss thought I got it at a discount store, but when he saw it the next day in the windows at Barney's he was like, "Oh my god" and hired me on Monday. In LA I interviewed at Merv Griffin Productions with a double-breasted navy Gucci suit with a scarf around my neck. (1-6) 'Every alum I spoke with had nothing but praise because we did something new and different," reports Audra Tiffany '04 who helped organize two luxury suites for nearly 20 FIDM alumni to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks game in August.

text: Most women notice a decrease in libido after baby because they're tired and overwhelmed. The key to boosting your desire is through feeling connected to your husband or partner. I say, "date your mate". Your date need not cost a dime…you can enjoy each other's company at home. Cuddle and watch a movie, share a dessert, and keep the focus on the two of you rather than your kids. Notice how when you're feeling connected your desire will increase. Make "we" time a priority- the more connected you feel emotionally and physically the better you'll both feel!

Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs 421

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
jaffa cree!
this Cree MK-R isn't super suitable for torches
Certainly not suitable. It produces less heat than other LEDs, which are themselves not even suitable. For my torches i tend to stick to propane, MAPP, and acetylene.
I put CFL's in the toilet once, and yes, they did fail.
Well that's the problem. You're not supposed to put them in the toilet.
