Gov. Steve Beshear returned to Washington this weekend, telling a national news show that he guarantees the success of President Barack Obamas health care law.
Beshear, one of the nations most vocal advocates for the law, counseled patience on NBCs Meet the Press, pledging it is going to work.
Beshear jumped into the national spotlight after deciding to set up Kentuckys own online health insurance exchange instead of deferring to the federal program. The states kynect.ky.gov site has been hailed nationally as a success since launching Oct. 1, even as the national HealthCare.gov website has been maligned and ridiculed for continuing problems.
As Kentuckys Republican Senators bash the federal health law, Beshear has become a key ally to President Barack Obama. On Sunday, he defended Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Im not going to give the president advice on hiring and firing, Beshear said. But you know what? When things go wrong, like they go wrong in our state, I take responsibility and I fix it. And thats what Secretary Sebelius and the president are doing.
Beshear appeared on the show with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whose state did not set up its own health care exchange. Kasich criticized Obamacare as Beshear defended Affordable Care Act and boasted of what he sees as the enormous success of Kentuckys program.
As of 11 a.m. Thursday, 26,174 Kentuckians had enrolled in new health insurance using the exchange. Of those, 21,342 had enrolled in Medicaid and 4,832 had enrolled in a qualified health plan.
Beshear, who was repeatedly pressed by moderator David Gregory to discuss the national exchange instead of Kentuckys, said the presidents law will work.
People are going to sign up for this, Beshear said. Itll take us a while to get it in process, but Ill guarantee you were going to make it work because its good for the American people and its good for Kentucky.
To the laws critics, Beshear advised they take a deep breath.
Look, this is going to take some time to get done, but everybody needs to chill out because it is going to work, the governor said.

If you're a fan of classic materials like vegetable-tanned leather and 100% wool felt, this Italian-made carry on from Hard Graft might cause a lump in your lederhosen. It is completely handcrafted and features an adjustable shoulder strap with a felt-lined interior.
Until the release of their latest point & shoot, the EX2F, Samsung's wi-fi enabled cameras have suffered from sub-standard image quality. But the new EX2F is a definite step up. It offers a 12.4 MP image from a fast f/1.4-2.7 zoom lens along with dual image stabilization, ISO up to 12,800, and a 3-inch swivel display. Hits stores in August.
We're right smack in the middle of prime barbecue season. Time to get your grilling game in gear. This dome-top portable grill from Rösle is a classic, simple design packed with smart features like a hinged lid, sturdy rubber wheels, and a rail storage system for your tools. Good for grilling and smoking and everything else.
If it feels like you live in your car, do yourself a favor and install a fridge. The Basecamp Portable fridge and freezer plugs into your car's accessory socket providing a cool 42-quart capacity for your next meal in the driver's seat, campout, or even a road soda. When you reach your destination, simply plug it into a regular socket to keep things cool.
The irony of using your iPhone 4/4s as an "advanced audio device" dissolves when you consider the features packed into the VAMP. The solid metal case contains a 150mW x 2 amplifier, dedicated pure Digital-Analog-Convertor, VQ audio enhancements, optical audio output and a backup battery. Meaning iTunes becomes hi-fiTunes.
One of the saddest things about spending a big night in the gentleman's club with the boys is that in the morning nobody remembers what really happened. Even though it's against club rules, shooting some photos or footage in the champagne room would solve this dilemma. If you pack Sony's super low light sensitive DSC-RX100, you won't need a flash thus allowing to fill a "memory" card without risking being bounced.
Half the reason you never motivate to go camping is because getting everything together is a total pain. But what if you had a system that packed your entire kitchen into a one durable, portable case? The sturdy, wilderness-worthy My Camp Kitchen is a purpose-built hardwood box with all kinds of shelves and cubbies to store all of your camp cooking gear. Once you've got it filled with your gear, all you have to do is heave it into the truck and you're gone. Source
Sonos makes a slick, wireless hi-fi system that delivers crisp, dynamic stereo sound from all-in-one players to networked amps and speakers, it rocks every room in your house. Now they've developed a sub woofer for floor-shaking low-end sound with no wires, no programming; just raw, heavy, bottomless bass.
At least one new camera comes on the market every single day, all year, every year. Or maybe it just seems that way. But how do you know which one to get? Well, in the case of the Samsung NX1000, the 20.3 MP optical sensor, 8 FPS shutter burst and direct-wifi image sharing all make a strong case for choosing this one.
From a distance, people might think you've finally entered the new millennium and given up your old PC. Yeah, Sony's latest VAIO laptops with spiffy new Ivy Bridge processors, the T11 & T13 Ultrabooks, look so much like Apples with their magnesium and aluminum bodies it's incredible. And, yes, they have internet.

She compares it to the majesty of Gomateswara.
The Hanrag-Hamsadhwani award was conferred on Dr. T.S. Sathyavathi, by Hamsadhwani at the Youth Hostel Auditorium, Indira Nagar. Dr. M B Vedavalli who gave away the award said that she was happy to give away the Purandara Dasa award to the most appropriate person.
The secretary, Hamsadhwani, T.R. Gopalan, said that the sabha felt honoured presenting the award to Karnataka Sangeetha Kala Rathna, Dr. Sathyavathi. Ramnath Mani sabha president honoured the artists on the stage.
Dr. Vedavalli gave a historical perspective to Purandara Dasa and his songs. His kritis would find place in almost all concerts as both Carnatic and Hindustani ragas could be adopted in their rendering. Tracing the life of the merchant-turned devotee, she said of the nearly five lakh songs attributed to him, only about 1,000 are available. Sathyavati was a scholar in both Kannada and Sanskrit and thus richly deserved the award, she said.
Accepting the honour, Sathyavathi said that the Dasa award was special to her. Purandaradasa's compositions are a perfect blend of lyrical beauty and musical simplicity reminding her of "Gommata" of Belur Temple, a structure which is grand without any ornamentation. Dasa's songs could also be compared to the majestic beauty of Gomateswara. She also said that she was indebted to the music connoisseurs of Chennai who had always welcomed her. She placed this award at the lotus feet of her father and her four gurus Sri/Smt. Vasanthamadhavi, R.K. Srikantan, B.V.K. Sastry and Bangalore K Venkatram.
Her concert followed and the choice of kritis naturally was from the Dasa repertoire. The songs were, Sakala Graha Bala Neeve (Atana), Kaarunya Muruthi (Mukhari), Marulu Matikonte (Nilambari), Rama Ramenniro (Suddha Dhanyasi), Neene Ballidhano (Purvikalyani) and Bandhu Nindiha Nodi (Madhymavathi). The rendering showed Sathyavathi's sharp intellect and her capacity to bring out the emotional content in the compositions. She prefaced each song with some compact take-down notes. Ananthakrishnan (violin) and Delhi Sairam (mridangam) were her accompanists.

The trouble with 'selfs' - true confession time (photos)
Well, it's time for true confessions, based on a few months of research, conversations, etc. For those non-newbies on the list, recall how excited I was that my Gordie 2006 self was going to bloom late this spring, and then when it did bloom it was a big mystery and was sure that I had somehow forgotten that the neighbor had given me a Vittatum bulb that I had forgotten to label?
Well....several things have happened and it's time to let the skeletons out of the closet and give the newbies some "food for thought"!
1) I really didn't recall planting a Vittatum bulb, but the bloom sure didn't look like my precious H. Gordie (antique bulb that I have saved....do a "search" and you'll find the story) - photo below.
2) I spoke with my neighbor and she says she didn't give me a bulb...she gave me seeds (a fact borne out by the fact that now I recall when looking at the bulbs she was offering, I was leery that they had some virus as the leaves had odd blotches and light patches).
3) This led me to conclude that the bulb I had wasn't a Vittatum. BUT...what was it? It sure wasn't my Gordie!
4) I checked the rudimentary logs that I kept prior to last year. From 2008 on they are immaculate with the blooms, crosses, etc. I hadn't really thought about crossing anything before the 2008-09 season because everything bloomed at different times. Somehow when you order 30+ bulbs, and they all arrive within a month of each other, your kitchen can fill up with lots of blooms and you have all sorts of options for crossing!
- That meant that the only thing this bulb could be was an H. Gordie self. Photos from 2006 reveal seed pods (not shown here); hence proof that seed was produced that year.
So....what happened?? The final clue was provided by Ruud Berbee yesterday!
H. Gordie (above) is an antique bulb that was produced more than 40 years ago (that I discovered when I did my homework as part of the KAVB Registration paperwork). All of the hybrids that are in existence today are probably 10 times the number that were around in the 1960s and earlier. These early hybrids are what went into the genetic making of H. Gordie; hence, they are logic candidates for revealing themselves in a bloom of a self-pollinated flower. Another example with a bloom that we all know...Minerva. If you self a Minerva, you might get things that look like Minerva, but you won't really get a Minerva, AND you might just get blooms that look like her parents, grandparents, etc. The only way to really get a genetically true Minerva would be through offsets produced by the mother bulb, or (heaven forbid you have to do this) cuttage!
So...even though the self is a perfectly "nice" bloom....it sure not a Gordie!! Thank you Ruud for making me realize that the bloom is more antique-y than even H. Gordie and it reveals the elegance of his genetic background. I'll still like the ruffly Vittatum-looking bloom, but it will be labeled as (??) as we will never know what it is.
There's your basic amaryllis genetics lesson without having to worry about diploid and triploid!! With all of today's hybrids the possibilities are endless. The gene pool was much smaller 40+ years ago and this bloom is a reminder and a reality check!
Ahhh....I feel better now. I think this confession deserves the purchase of a few bulbs to make me feel better! Remember, our bulbs are full of surpises.
Enjoy them all!
Spring, TX
As a plant breeder wannabe, it's definitely food for thought! I suppose you could give it its own name, and patent it. Or, if you are just going to use it for further breeding, just call it "un-named seedling". Thanks for the info & eye candy! : ])
It is a Gordie self...but not H. Gordie. Not worth the trouble to name (register) or patent. You could take 100 seeds from a self and get 100 different looking blooms. You should only name something that you can consistantly produce and reproduce...then you have something!!
Regardless of what it is, it has had a very interesting life story to this point. :-) And that's more than you can say for a lot of the bulbs we buy.
But through your learning lesson, you've answered a question that I had about self crosses. That being: can they pull different genetic material (ie: dominant and recessive genes from the parents) to wind up with something completely different.
Thanks for the lesson, Kristi!! Ok, I can leave work early and go home, I learned something new today ;-)
Phoenix Ryan
I actually really like the ruffely petals!! I can't tell you how many times I've heard on this list that people are smitten with a bloom and so they self it hoping to get bulbs that look just like it. The offspring may not look anything like the parent (as in case above)....and just because it has similar characteristics, it's not genetically the same as the bulb...even though the bulb contributed pollen and ovum.
I guess I'll learn more about this in the coming months. I'm not planning on any crosses (this season) as this point in time but may change my mind once I get the shelves in the greenhouse and all the seedlings potted up. Always room for more.
OH...big news...Ruud has offered to take me on a tour of several of the top amaryllis production farms on my trip to Holland! Cool, eh?? He was extremely helpful in my quest to get H. Gordie registered with KAVB!
Can't wait. I'm going to start counting down the weeks....well, guess I'll wait til my big trip to Mexico to celebrate a BIG birthday in November!!
Kristi, A very important point to make to everyone!! The further you get away from species the more genes you've got roaming around in there that can choose to pop out at any given moment......you can literally generate thousands of new hybrids by just selfing :o) Dan
I was thinking the same thing (about how 1 selfing can result in 100 different type/colors of blooms) when someone suggested that I patent the ruffly Vittatum-like bloom. I do have close to 50 or more Gordie selfs from 2006-2008 and it will be very interesting to see what they look like. The story isn't over...it's just begun!
I am now guessing Vittatum and Minerva were in the background of Gordie...both are old and the colors are similar to Minerva. There are spots in the throat....so, it's probably related to Mega Star (Mega Star being younger) as MS has the ring in the throat, but they are a similar color as Gordie's spots. It's very interesting. For the naming I had to list all the hybrids that were similar and how Gordie was different.
Well...we'll see what blooms we get in the spring!
Having a background in canine breeding really helps me with the basics of hippeastrum breeding. Someday, when I'm not so busy with roses and other projects, I'll delve deeper into record keeping and breeding hippeastrums only. I have software for breeding records, but no time to devote to just one plant type.
My husband is a wealth of information on breeding, and I frequently pick his brain. Once I devote myself to breeding just one plant type, his knowledge will really come in handy! He's already very intrigued with the different hippeastrums and other amaryllids I have. He also likes orchids... who knew?!
With our dogs, we've experimented by crunching the gene pool, and we've always kept it as tight as possible... and Kristi's right... the wider the pool, the more chance for strange things to pop up unannounced!
The only thing I can add to this interesting tutorial is way back in my beginning hippy days I only had one bulb..Orange Sovereign. And, of course I selfed it. I lost most the the seedlings (mercifully) but one that made it looked as I might have expected it to look. A little more frilly on the edges though. I lost this seedling the following summer to rot...of course in those days I know nothing about keeping them on the dry side and didn't use a gritty mix...
I try to be a little more creative these days!
One of my first Questions at Ruud would be, how can it be that such an outstanding Hybrid as is "Gordie" is not in Commercial-Production any more.
I retrieve comparable venation THROUGH-OUT the whole bloom, but in my H.aulicum Seedlings. The best specimen thereof shows netted venation, even in the middle of the Tepal, where the white midrib would be if there WAS ONE which is, as we all know, not in H.aulicum:
Having shown and considered this - I suddenly PRESUME, that "Gordie" has "at least some" H.aulicum in its parentage.
"Selfing" any Hybrid plant (or bulb) will result in a range of colors, patterns and even petal shapes. Usually they aren't quite as nice as the parent, but nature will always surprise us! Out-crossing gives a different set of results because you have added a different gene mix and that result will also be wide ranging, but many will look more like one parent or the other in form, petal shape and other variables. Hippeastrums have been hybridized for HUNDREDS of years so the gene pool is actually pretty complex, so we can't always count on particular traits showing up in the new generation, they have to be able to recombine in ways that make that trait the more dominate one.
If you are working with species, things get a lot more clear, and this is especially true if you happen to be working with the H. cybister hybrids. You know you will get narrow petals as narrow seems to be more dominate over wide/full petals. From all the Cybister Hybrids I have seen/grown, they all tend to be strongly H. cybister in form. Of course there are other "spidery" species that may be in the lineage of these "Cybister Hybrids" and that is were one begins to get wider variations in color, shape and form.
Then there's the H. papilio hybrids. I am still waiting to see blooms from Chico X papilio seedlings, but I suspect they will have to shape/form of Chico and the color/patterns of H. papilio and I hope a bud count of more than 2 (papilio and primary papilio crosses tend to only have 2 blooms, buy mature bulbs do produce multiple stems as well as preferring to have "pups" crowded around the mother bulb - papilio resents being divided).
At the end of the day, whatever forms you decide to breed, the result is always fun! When it no longer ends with being fun, that's when you stop and move on to something else, perhaps other genera in the hippie Family.
Perhaps Estrella is in Gordie's parentage? The venation differs from year to year as seen in these pictures and, perhaps Estrella also might have H. aulicum in it's background.
Perhaps when Gordie blooms we might get him together with Estrella...my Estrella is of course virused...as you all may remember...but still sets some mean seedpods!
Maybe H. aulicum on Estrella?
My Estrella is still outside in a pot along with 2 other virused bubs..I was considering leaving them out and letting the winter kill them...maybe I'll bring Estrella in today as we are expecting our killing frost within the next few days...

Princess of Wales Theatre
Just a block down the street from the Royal Alexandra (the Mirvish family's other theatrical landmark), in the heart of Toronto's entertainment district, sits the Princess of Wales Theatre. The privately funded theatre facility (the first such enterprise in the city in almost 100 years) features extensive murals by the noted contemporary artist Frank Stella. An original model of the mural hangs in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada. Other celebrated design touches throughout the building include the finest theatre washrooms anywhere.
Getting There:
By Car:
The Princess of Wales Theatre is only a few blocks north of the Gardiner Expressway (the QEW, to and from Hamilton, Niagara and Buffalo). Exit the Gardiner at Spadina and turn right (east) on King Street.
By Transit:
Two blocks west of the St. Andrew Subway Station (at the intersection of King Street and University Avenue), and the King Street streetcars stop in front of the building.

True Potato Seed
My Idaho Russet potatoes decided to grow true seed this year! It's the first time for me, and needless to say, I'm pretty excited.
I was just out in the garden and I found two fruits (proper name?) that had fallen to the ground. I've attached a picture with a quarter for size reference.
My questions are:
Are they mature?
What the heck do I do with them?
Is it possible to save them for a year or should they be planted in the fall?
If you can offer any insight, It'd be extremely helpful.
The potato fruit in the picture are unripe. What do you do with them? You throw them out unless you are into breeding new cultivars of potatoes. They will not produce a usable potato crop next year, just tiny tuberlets. And they will not produce the variety they came from. However, you could try breeding your own new varieties if that interests you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Breeding potatoes

What Is Multi-Threading?
Listing 6 shows a simple program which will perform matrix multiplication on a pair of fixed-size square matrices, with a separate thread performing the calculations for each column of the resulting matrix.
As a quick refresher, if it has been a while since you did matrix mathematics, the result of multiplying two matrices is given by the program in Listing 1. Running the program produces the output seen in Figure 1.
| 9 8 7 6 | | 1 2 3 4 | | 150 180 210 240 | | 6 6 4 3 | | 4 5 6 7 | | 84 102 120 138 | | 3 2 1 0 | x | 7 8 9 10 | = | 18 24 30 36 | | 0 -1 -2 -3 | | 10 11 12 13 | | -48 -54 -60 -66 |
There are a number of things worth noting about this program.
First of all, you will probably get a speed increase using a multi-threaded program like this only if you have a system with more than one processor. Why? Because with a single-processor system the one processor must perform all the calculations and spend extra time scheduling between the different threads. With a multi-processor system, the scheduler may be able to run the same process over multiple CPUs by simultaneously running a different thread on each.
Secondly, it uses global data. And after I went to all that trouble to say it was a dangerous thing to do. And I don't even use mutexes. You might well be offended! However, I wanted to illustrate a case when it is safe to use global data. (Whether it is a good idea to use global data is another issue, and that line of philosophical debate is not the purpose of this article—I am simply showing that global data can be used.) Why is it safe here? Well, the two matrices mat1 and mat2 are read-only; the result matrix is written to, but each of the threads only writes to a specific part of the array which is used to store the resulting column which that thread is working on. There is never any conflict.
Listing 7 shows one way in which a simple multi-threaded server could be constructed.
Please note, as in all the examples, error checking has been kept to a minimum in order to keep the code simple and readable. "Real" code needs to be much more robust than this. Always check the man pages for possible return-codes and error-values.
The server works as follows: it listens on port 12345 to service requests from clients, and it also performs an unrelated task without regard to client activity (that is, it prints "server is running" onto standard output every second).
In thread terms, it works as follows: the main thread creates a thread to listen for clients connecting to the server port, then it goes into an infinite loop, printing the "running" message, then sleeping for one second. The "client listening" thread listens to a socket on port 12345. Whenever a client connects to that socket (e.g., someone types "telnet hostname 12345") the connection is accepted and another thread is started to handle just that one client. The "client listening" thread then continues to listen for more clients connecting. The "client handling" thread prints a useful message to the client ("type `X' to quit"), then waits for the client to send a message back. If the message begins with "X", the socket is closed and the thread exits; otherwise, the message is printed again and the thread waits once more for data from the client.
In a server written in this way, there is a thread running for each client that is simultaneously connected. This gives the advantages of a server which forks a new process for each client that connects, but without the extra overheads involved in forking a new process or in switching between processes, and with the ability to communicate easily within threads.
Writing multi-threaded programs need not be difficult (certainly not as difficult as some people would have you believe), although it is certainly possible to make life difficult for yourself. It is more often useful on multi-processor systems than uni-processor systems. But there are many cases where performance can be improved on uni-processor systems by multi-threading, such as when handling requests from multiple simultaneous connections in a client/server application, when overlapping multiple I/O requests, or when writing programs which make use of graphical user interfaces.
Most of the topics discussed here should be applicable to non-Linux systems and (somewhat more loosely) to non-POSIX systems.

Analysis Beyond the Echo Chamber
On Wednesday, Brazilian ex-president Lula Da Silva spoke out regarding recent events in Venezuela:
I think that in the first place, Venezuela needs peace and tranquility, so that it can recover all its potential insofar as creating wealth and well-being for its people. All Venezuelans, both pro-government and opposition supporters, should understand that a country can only grow and develop with a lot of peace, with a lot of dialogue. [President Nicolás] Maduro has the best intentions; he wants to give his best for Venezuela.
These remarks come just a day after two other statements from Brazil: President Dilma Rousseff commented on Venezuela's "advances …in terms of education and health for its people" and a representative of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said that he sees the situation as one in which "the principle of non-interference must be respected."
As we have noted, Brazil has not been the only country in the region to make statements in support of President Maduro, but there remains the question of which multilateral forum would most effectively allow for a fair and representative consideration of the situation in Venezuela. The Venezuelan government itself has, in statements made by Foreign Minister Elías Jaua, indicated its support for UNASUR over the OAS. The Venezuela representative there, Ambassador Roy Chaderton, has blocked, for the time being, a special request by Panama's representative to the OAS who had called for a meeting on Venezuela while the president of the Permanent Council was absent.
Uruguay's foreign minister Luis Almagro said in a press conference that his government agrees with Venezuela that UNASUR would be the preferred forum: "UNASUR has been the natural arena for addressing these regional issues. If we have the possibility of a request [for discussion] at UNASUR, for us that would be fine." Most of the region, especially South America, recognizes that the United States has too much power in the OAS, because of its disproportionate funding and control over the bureaucracy, as well as a few allied right-wing governments. That is one of the reasons that Latin America created CELAC (The Community of Latin American and Caribbean Nations), which excludes the U.S. and Canada, and also UNASUR, in recent years.
Kudos to the New York Times for correcting its error regarding TV media in Venezuela. I had written about this error here on Monday (Feb 24). It was an important mistake--the Times had led its Friday report with this statement:
"The only television station that regularly broadcast voices critical of the government was sold last year and the new owners have softened its news coverage."
The Times' correction reads:
Correction: February 26, 2014
An earlier version of this article referred imprecisely to Globovision. Before its sale last year, it broadcast more voices critical of the Venezuelan government than any other TV station, but it was not the only one to regularly feature government critics.
It sure wasn't, and it still isn't during the current protests, as documented here. This is important because the opposition leadership is trying to say that they are living under a dictatorship, and they are justifying their demands for the overthrow of a democratically elected government on this basis.
Many other news outlets have made the same error in reporting on the TV media in Venezuela. Hopefully they will be more accurate in the future.
Many thanks to Robert Naiman of Just Foreign Policy and the nearly 13,000 people who quickly signed a petition to the New York Times asking for this correction.
People often ask what they can do to change U.S. foreign policy, and one important thing that almost anyone with an internet connection can do is hold the media accountable for these kinds of misrepresentations. On the one hand, the mass media can play a huge role in legitimating terrible crimes, as in the run-up to the Iraq War, which cost more than a million lives and probably wouldn't have happened if the media had done its job. On the other hand, there are thousands of reporters and editors who are trying to do their job and adhere to basic journalistic standards of accuracy and balance. Readers and listeners can help them do this.
Now, what about the Committee to Protect Journalists? Their statement was more outrageously false than the one corrected by the Times: "Nearly all TV stations in Venezuela are either controlled or allied with the government of Nicolás Maduro and have ignored the nationwide protests."
Will they correct it? Ask them.
Yesterday the Organization of American States (OAS) announced that a meeting of the Permanent Council, would take place Thursday morning at 9:30 EST. It now appears that the meeting has been postponed, or that it may not occur at all, as a result of objections presented by Venezuela based on the OAS' internal directives. The meeting would "consider the request of Panama to convene a Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs to consider the situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela." It would take 18 votes in favor of Panama's request for the extraordinary session to move forward.
Ahead of the planned meeting, a spokesperson for the Brazilian Foreign Ministry told EFE that "Brazil understands that the principle of non-interference must be respected." The official added that Brazil "perceived" willingness for dialogue on the part of the Venezuelan government, citing President Maduro's calls for a "Peace Conference" today. It remains to be seen if opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who chose not to attend a meeting with the government on Monday will attend the meeting with the Venezuelan president today. Bloomberg reported that "Maduro called on a cross-section of Venezuelan society, including union workers, intellectuals, clergy, students and governors to come to Caracas today and sign an agreement condemning violence."
The Brazilian official also referred to statements made by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff earlier this week, in which she stated, "for Brazil, it is very important that we always look at Venezuela from the point of view of the advances that the country has achieved, during this entire process, in terms of education and health for its people."
On January 25, during the Third Social Thematic Forum in Porto Alegre, representatives of urban social movements affiliated with the National Urban Reform Forum started a campaign to support a referendum for removing political reform power from Congress, passing authority over to a newly-created, democratically-elected and sovereign body.
The referendum represents the largest concession that President Dilma Rousseff announced after last year's June and July protests. Although critics say that it could end up giving too much power to the incumbent PT party, it is supported by 76 social movements and labor unions because it addresses one of the most important problems in Brazil: the fact that a full transition to democracy was never made when the military dictatorship ended in 1985.
Unlike other former dictatorships in South America, the Brazilian government refused to disband the brutal military police. It also gave full amnesty to the military and its puppet government. This meant that most congressmen and senators from the two legal political parties of the dictatorship era, ARENA [the National Renewal Alliance Party] and MDB [Brazilian Democratic Movement], were able to stay in power and benefit from the advantage of incumbency in future elections. ARENA changed its name to PFL [Liberal Front Party] and then to DEM [Democratas], and MDB changed its name to PMDB [Brazilian Democratic Movement Party]. Every president between 1985 and 2002 governed in coalition with these two parties. President Lula broke with DEM but was only able to maintain a majority block in the house and senate with PMDB, led by the widely-hated former President José Sarney.
The social movements believe that, due to the inherent structural problem of a congress that is controlled by representatives of the former military dictatorship, it is incapable of reforming the political system. Instead, they support a bottom up process of change. During the next few months they will organize a series of national protests in favor of the referendum. On April 1, on the 50th anniversary of the U.S.-supported military coup of 1964, the social movements will create neighborhood and village committees across the country to discuss the issue.
On the night of February 22nd, a bizarre incident took place in the Venezuela media-sphere. At around 4:00 pm Venezuela time, a number of the country's private media outlets posted a release from a protest group identified only as the "student movement." The rhetoric and tone of the statement matches the positions often expressed by extreme rightwing factions within Venezuela's opposition over the last 14 years. Venezuela, it alleges, is in the grip of Cuban communists:
Foreign forces have laid a military siege on Venezuela. Their mercenaries attack us in a vile and savage manner. Their goal is to enslave us and be the masters of our existence, dishonoring the flags that we have held up in the street and that we will defend with our lives.
We want our Freedom. To protect it it's vital to defend the Sovereignty of the Nation, expelling the Cuban communists that are here usurping the government and the Armed Forces.
The release demands that "the usurper [Venezuelan president] Nicolas Maduro and all of his cabinet be deposed" and states that the protests will continue until this and other demands are met. The statement also calls for defensive action against state security:
The regime has declared war on any civilian who doesn't accept its marxist ideology. Our call is for defense: to not allow the invaders profane your street, your avenue, your property. Prevent their access so that they don't shoot up your neighborhood, don't destroy your properties, don't hurt your loved ones and, above all, so that they know that here there are battle-seasoned Venezuelans, who won't allow themselves to be enslaved through the use of force.
The rhetoric found in this release is reminiscent of the language used by the promoters of the "guarimba" protests in 2004 which – similarly to many of the protests that have been occurring in Venezuela over the last two weeks – involved protesters blocking major roads with bonfires and barricades and damaging public property. The explicit goal of the 2004 guarimba protests was to create enormous chaos in city streets thereby forcing the government to either step down or engage in mass repression. Or, in the words of Luis Alonso, the main promoter of the guarimba ten years ago:
en español
The New York Times begins its news report on Friday from Venezuela with "The only television station that regularly broadcast voices critical of the government was sold last year and the new owners have softened its news coverage."
The Committee to Protect Journalists wrote last week: "Nearly all TV stations in Venezuela are either controlled or allied with the government of Nicolás Maduro and have ignored the nationwide protests."
Before surrendering to authorities for arrest last Tuesday (February 18), opposition leader Leopoldo López said, "we no longer have any free media to express ourselves in Venezuela."
Are these statements true or false? Similar statements are made repeatedly in the major international news outlets covering Venezuela, and are generally accepted as true. However this should be a factual question, independent of whether one is sympathetic to the opposition or the government, or to neither.
As it turns out, data published by the Carter Center for the media coverage during the campaign for the last presidential election, in April of last year, indicate that the two candidates were fairly evenly represented in television coverage.
We will return to the Carter Center report, but first a quick fact check based on recent events and coverage. We can look at the recent broadcasts of the largest television stations in the country. The biggest broadcast television station is Venevisión, owned by the billionaire media mogul Gustavo Cisneros. According to the Carter Center, it has about 35 percent of the news-watching audience during "recent key newsworthy events." If we look at their coverage of the events since the protests started on February 12, we can find plenty of programming where "voices critical of the government," and in fact opposition leaders are "regularly broadcast." For example, here is an interview on Venevisión news with Tomás Guanipa, leader of the opposition Primero Justicia (Justice First) party and a representative in the National Assembly. He defends the protests and accuses the government of having tortured students.
[3/12: This post is no longer being updated. For a updated list, please click here.]The morning of February 22, Venezuela Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz stated that so far eight deaths and 137 injuries had occurred during the protests that have taken place over the last ten days. Díaz added that "the investigations [into the killings] are advanced." Many press and NGOs have simply reported that "demonstrators" were killed. For example the International Crisis Group states in its February 21 report: "confrontation in Venezuela has turned violent in the past few days with the killing of six demonstrators." However, a closer look at the individuals identified as having been killed reveals that the political allegiances of the victims and their causes of death are varied.
Since Díaz's announcement more deaths related to the protests have been reported in the media. Here, first, are details regarding seven of the deaths that Díaz referred to in her statements: - Bassil Alejandro Da Costa, an opposition demonstrator was shot, reportedly in the head, and killed in Caracas during the opposition protest that took place on February 12. The Attorney General announced Friday that an investigation into the killing is close to finished and will be made public in the coming days. An analysis of amateur video and images by the Venezuelan newspaper Últimas Noticias alleges that uniformed and plainclothes members of the Venezuelan intelligence service (SEBIN) were responsible. The video images show what appear to be SEBIN agents in uniform as well as individuals in plain-clothes firing handguns toward the demonstration after demonstrators had charged at them while throwing rocks. President Maduro later stated that SEBIN agents weren't authorized to be present at the protest and replaced the head of SEBIN. At least one of the SEBIN officers seen discharging his weapon has reportedly been arrested and, according to Venezuelan media, authorities are engaged in a manhunt to apprehend the other individuals observed firing their handguns. [Update 2/25: According to Attorney General Díaz, three SEBIN officers have been arrested in relation to the killing of Da Costa and Montoya, see below for more.] [Update 3/4: On February 26, the Attorney General announced additional arrests in relation to the deaths of Da Costa and Montoya. In total, at least 8 individuals have been arrested.]
- Juan Montoya, a pro-government community activist, was reportedly shot in both the head and chest and died. Montoya's body was found a short distance from the body of Da Costa. It remains unclear how he was killed but Maduro stated that the same gun killed both Montoya and Da Costa.
Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López has been thrust onto the international stage during the past week of protests in Venezuela and his arrest on February 21. López is mentioned at least 77 times in diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks. Many of the cables focus on internal disputes within the opposition, with Lopez often in conflict with others both within his party and others in the opposition. Given this history, perhaps it isn't surprising that the current protests that he has been leading, calling for "la salida" – the exit – of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro have also caused internal divisions within the opposition. David Smilde, a Senior Fellow with the Washington Office on Latin America wrote last week:
While Capriles shook hands with Maduro in January, signifying not only a more conciliatory stance but tacitly recognizing Maduro's legitimacy, Leopoldo López and Maria Corina Machado have both taken a harder line and are working outside of the Mesa de Unidad Democrática (MUD).
Without a doubt, in immediate political terms the biggest beneficiary of yesterday's [Feb.12] violence was López.
This week, Smilde added in a quote to USA Today, "Before this happened, Lopez was playing second fiddle to Capriles… I think his goal is to try and leapfrog over Capriles. The student protests have put him in the spotlight."
The Wikileaks Cables show an interesting history of Lopez's rise to leadership and also show some of the divisions within the opposition. Below, one party leader is quoted as saying that "for the opposition parties, Lopez draws ire second only to Chavez, joking that 'the only difference between the two is that Lopez is a lot better looking.'" And also, "During a party event December 6, Primero Justicia (PJ) Secretary-General Tomas Guanipa called on Lopez to respect the unity table and its agreements and consensus. Guanipa urged Lopez to 'not continue dividing us, we should not go through life like crashing cars, fighting with the whole world.'"
The U.S. government has been funding the Venezuelan opposition for at least 12 years, including, as the State Department has acknowledged, some of the people and organizations involved in the 2002 military coup. Their goal has always been to get rid of the Chávez government and replace it with something more to their liking. However, their funding is probably not their most important contribution in Venezuela, since the Venezuelan opposition has most of the wealth and income of the country. A more important role is the outside pressure for unity, which, as these cables and the history of the past 15 years show, has been a serious problem for the Venezuelan opposition. The cables also show that this is a serious concern for the U.S. government.Below are relevant cables, in chronological order:
Carl Meacham, the former Republican senior advisor on Latin America and the Caribbean for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, appeared last night on PBS' Newshour. When asked by host Gwen Ifill what "is really behind all of this right now?" Meacham responded by questioning the legitimacy of the Maduro government in Venezuela:
Let's remember this has been probably — it's been a year since Mr. Maduro — roughly a year since Mr. Maduro was elected — some people say that he won, some people say that he didn't win — to office.
A statistical analysis shows just how unlikely it was that, as Meachem says "he didn't win." In Venezuela's elections, the electoral authority conducts a rapid recount of 53 percent of the voting machines, selected at random. The probability of getting the audit result, if in fact the opposition candidate had received the majority of the votes, was found to be less than 1 in 25 thousand trillion.
While Meacham is correct in stating that "some people say that he didn't win", it is also true that "some people," – in fact many people – say that President Obama is a Muslim who is holding office illegally because he was not born in the United States. The statement from Meacham is revealing because it is indicative of his close ties to prominent right-wing Venezuelan politicians.
It is unfortunate that PBS did not offer its listeners anything other than a far-right point of view in this broadcast.
Greg Weeks, a professor who specializes in Latin America at UNC Charlotte, did not seem to understand my column yesterday in the Guardian. He dismissed the recent statements from the U.S. government about Venezuela as meaningless. Since he is Chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, perhaps there were others who did not understand these statements as well. So I wrote some further explanation for him and posted it on his blog. Today, of course, U.S. statements got even more hostile, after Venezuela expelled three U.S. diplomats. But as explained below, these are not just unfriendly comments by administration officials, but words chosen carefully and deliberately to encourage certain actions by Venezuela's opposition. Below is what I wrote yesterday:
Greg, maybe this will help your readers to understand what these statements mean. I wanted to include the White House statement on the Honduran coup for comparison but didn't have room. You can find it here: http://www.cepr.net/op-eds-&-columns/op-eds-&-columns/top-ten-ways The White House statement on the day of the coup did not condemn it, merely calling on "all political and social actors in Honduras" to respect democracy. This diplomatic language is very important. As any diplomat in this town will testify, this is one way in which governments communicate their positions and alliances. Everybody I know realized immediately from the White House statement after the Honduran coup that Washington supported the coup, and there were no surprises for us in what the Obama administration did in the months and years that followed. So you see, these statements from Kerry and the State Department are not just random "vanilla" comments on the state of democracy or the economy in Venezuela or concern about arrests. (Maybe you didn't read the piece very carefully, but my point on the arrests was that in other countries, if protesters are arrested for violent acts, the U.S. does not call for their immediate release.) These are carefully worded statements, like the White House statement on the coup in Honduras, that communicate their position without putting the U.S. government in the position of saying that they support a military coup in Honduras or a strategy of "regime change" in Venezuela, but making it clear to their allies and adversaries that they actually do. They have enormous impact, as you can understand. When Kerry changed his position on the April elections, he didn't have to say "these elections were free and fair and the opposition should give up its attempt to pretend that they were stolen." He just implicitly recognized the result and that was the end of the opposition's campaign, since U.S. allies Spain and José Miguel Insulza at the OAS had already given up, so the Obama administration was the last ally that the Venezuelan opposition had holding out for non-recognition of the election results. I hope this makes it clearer for you and your readers. Mark Weisbrot

Upcoming Cars of 2013 from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 8 lakh
Current-gen Honda City*
Face-lifted Honda City
Expected: Late 2013, Price: Rs 7.20 – 10 lakh
Japanese car maker Honda is expected to launch a face-lifted version of the City by late 2013. The sedan will not feature any design changes, but Honda will bring in the 1.5- litre i-DTEC oil burner to take on the Volkswagen Vento TDi and Skoda Rapid TDi.
The introduction of the diesel engine is part of Honda's plan to boost annual sales from three million to six million units by 2017. The petrol engine option will sport the acclaimed 1.5-litre i-VTEC tweaked to improve performance and fuel efficiency.
The interiors are expected to remain the same.
Nissan Evalia*
Renault MPV
Expected: Mid-2013, Price: Rs. 7-10 lakh
Badge re-engineering is the mantra of the day, and the Renault-Nissan Alliance is prime example of it being a win-win situation. With the Micra-Pulse and Sunny-Scala on the streets, it is only a matter of time before Renault brings in their version of the Evalia. Like the Pulse and the Scala which are priced higher than the Micra and Sunny respectively, Renault's Evalia based MPV too will be priced marginally above the Evalia. Under the hood, this new MPV will have the 1.5-litre dCi mill from the Evalia.
Renault Duster *
Nissan Compact SUV
Expected: August 2013, Price: Rs 7.5 – Rs 11 lakh
As a part of badge re-engineering between Nissan and Renault, the Japanese car maker will launch a compact SUV similar in design and build to the Duster. The SUV is expected to go on sale by August 2013 at a more aggressive price tag.
Overall, the vehicle, code named NH79 is expected to have minor changes to the exterior design while the interior is expected to remain the same similar to what has been seen with the Micra and Sunny being re-badged as Pulse and Scala respectively.

Video: CBS News Visits a Thriving Peanut Partnership in Haiti
November 15, 2013
In rural Haiti, peanuts are helping to create jobs, provide nutrition and improve farmers' livelihoods.
For years, peanut farmer Gustave Esteme struggled to feed his family in the central plateau region of Haiti. But after receiving agricultural training facilitated by TechnoServe, "he's growing three times as much – enough to feed his six children three meals a day instead of two," reports CBS News producer Christina Ruffini.
CBS News visited Gustave for a segment on how Nourimanba, a peanut-based fortified product, is creating economic opportunities in rural Haiti. Four years ago, the nonprofit Partners in Health teamed up with Abbott Laboratories, a global health care company, to produce Nourimanba and distribute it to malnourished children. Last year they opened a brand new processing facility, which employs 20 men and women from the community and has substantially increased production.
TechnoServe joined the partnership to help train hundreds of growers like Gustave, who supply the facility with peanuts. Farmers learn techniques, such as proper spacing of plants, which help boost their productivity and increase their incomes.
The ripple effects of the Nourimanba project extend beyond the farmers and processing plant employees to local entrepreneurs and small businesses. Former teacher Joseph Roland became an entrepreneur with help from a microloan and training from TechnoServe. Now he tills the soil for peanut farms. "He says helping grow Haiti's agriculture sector is more important than his work in the classroom," reports Ruffini.
