Ranjan Kalbaskar has been coming to the Mount Mary Fair for the last 10 years. Fifteen years ago, when the Navi Mumbai resident fled home after a fight, he was untraceable for over a year. "My mother made a wish that if she finds me, she will come here every year. She traced me the next year in Thane. Now, I ensure that I fulfil her wish when she cannot make it," said Kalbaskar, holding his 14-month-old daughter.
The eight-day Fair attracts people of all faiths. It starts after the first Sunday of Mother Mary's birthday. The way to Mount Mary Church is lined with stalls selling toys, earrings, T-shirts, eateries, delicacies like halwa and pickles, music in regional languages like Marathi and Konkani, merry-go-rounds and giant wheels for children, and even tattoos.
French citizen Gean-Michel Briclot was impressed by the multi-cultural draw. "We have similar fairs in France but we do not have people of different faiths come together. Ours are themed according to food, wine or religion," he said.
Stall owners were particularly happy as the weather did not play dampener on the opening day. "It is good that it is not raining this time. The crowd is more or less like last year, and people are buying goods. The sale rises in the evening and towards the end," said Roshan Ali, one of the stall owners.
However, there was grouse from locals who had put up non-tender stalls. Some even gathered around the residence of the petitioners on whose orders the high court limited the number of stalls to 165, as against the earlier 400.
"Cars parked here take up more space than the stalls. How are stalls a bigger civic problem?" asked Pushpa Lawrence, whose stall was taken away by the civic body. "They did not defend us properly and we cannot pay large sums for tenders," added Kavita Sood. License inspector Kadam said that as per the BMC order he had lifted over 100 stalls.
Tushar Aphale, zonal president of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, said, "We support locals as they have receipt for the stalls they have put up here since many years. The BMC gave wrong information to the court. We will fight for 400-500 stalls of locals which have been denied permission."

Packages with Accommodation
Photography Packages and instruction at Aurum Lodge
For over ten years, we have hosted photography workshops and tours from our exceptional location. Whereas other providers have jumped on the bandwagon, we believe that the events based out of Aurum Lodge are truly unique for a number of reasons, such as:
- operating in a spectacular area with a unique micro-climate and diversity means we spend less time in our vehicles and more time photographing,
- partnering with knowledgeable guides and instructors who know the area inside out and don't just come here once a year to guide a tour...,
- offering all in packages, which include your photography event, accommodation, meals and more, so you know what your cost will be (make sure when comparing events held elsewhere, the quality of your instructors, accommodation and what's included in your packages),
- small groups with six to eight participants max.,
- flexible itineraries which allow us to work around and make the best of ever changing mountain weather, trail conditions, and locations. Our photographers do not work off a rigid itinerary, but will take you wherever the conditions are the most promising at any given time.
Why spend extra money to join a small group or private tour rather than venturing out on your own?? Here are some of the benfits:
- Tours and workshops are fun as you meet likeminded people and can learn a lot not just from your guide / instructors but also from other participants,
- No need to worry about where to go when or what is the best time of day for a specific location or subject,
- No need to spend a fair bit of time to scout out different locations or learn about local weather, so you can come back when the conditions are good,
- Safety concerns are minimised when working in a group compared to venturing out on your own (note that you are always responsible for your own saftety but your guides will point out risky areas or situations, which you may not be aware of),
- You get to explore locations you would likely not find on your own (we try to avoid the "icons" which are shown and described in every guidebook...'
- Your chances of returning home with more and different successful images are significantly greater
Should you book a workshop or a tour?
This depends primarily on your goals / objectives:
If you feel you would like to learn more about and improve your photography skills, then we recommend you join a workshop. These are a little more money as the instructors are working with the participants ALL the time. The events follow a certain schedule, include formal tuition, assignments, review sessions, etc.. Roughly 50% of your time is for formal instruction with the other 50% in the field, practising what you learnt.
- If you are comfortable with your level of expertise and simply wish to spend maximum time in the field( dawn to dusk!) photographing landscapes and nature, then a tour may be your choice. Tours are less formal, instruction or advice is provided on a more "ad hoc" basis in the field and your guide / instructor will also be spending some time photographing. As a result, costs tend to be somewhat less.
Our current offering of scheduled workshops and tours is as follows.
If you are looking for a specific personalised learning experience, these are also available.
Spring Photography Weekends with Leslie & Mark Degner
"developing your photographic style" a photography workshop / field trip for ladies and couples, who are keen to learn more about nature photography. If you have a good handle on how to operate your camera and would like to learn more about subject choice, seeing and composition, these hands-on courses are for you...
Small group photography Tours with Leslie Degner
Small Group Photography Tours with Royce Howland
Note: We recommend booking early! If tours or workshops are fully booked, we suggest you still contact us to be put on a waitlist or receive information as to additional field trips we may be arranging at a future date.
For all packages and photo tours out of Aurum Lodge, we will handle reservations and can answer most of your questions. Note that a reservation is only guaranteed, once a deposit has been received, so call us if you wish to book.
If you are a member of a camera club and interested in organising an exclusive field trip for your group, do let us know.
oopoomoo.com also offers personalised photo tours or photography instruction in the area for up to four people at certain times of the year with one or two professional photographers (if the timing of the regular group tours do not work out for you, if you prefer a more private setting or are looking at specific techniques or mastering more complex equipment such as tilt-shift lenses). Why not use your next vacation to include a learning experience and improve your nature / travel photography skills?!
there are 1001 reasons for this place of all seasons...

TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA -- I recently purchased an Acer 8940G notebook computer for $1400 from TigerDirect.com's Canadian outlet located on Woodbine Avenue in Markham, Ontario. While comparing this model against a similar one manufactured by HP, the salesperson told me that the Acer product was better and I took his advice.
I got the computer home, turned it on, and immediately noticed that the screen was displaying strange characters and the computer was crashing frequently. Windows 7 produced an error message advising me that the display driver had stopped responding and the system would freeze. I packed the system up and took it back to the Markham store to demand an exchange or refund. The salesperson at the store offered me an inferior product because they were out of stock of the model I had purchased and told me that to return the notebook I would have to pay a 15% restocking fee, even though the computer is defective.
I complained and the manager had a technician look at my system. The technician told me that there was nothing wrong with the computer but it was a Windows problem and I would just have to wait for Microsoft to release an updated display driver. The technician further went on to imply that I should have expected problems since I bought a system running Windows 7. Frankly, I don't care who's fault it is, I bought a computer which was supposed to work correctly and it doesn't. Acer does not offer a driver for this computer which supports Windows 7 and TigerDirect ripped me off. Don't let it happen to you. Avoid TigerDirect like the plague.
I purchased a Gateway computer from them on August 29, 2009. It arrived within a week. After getting it all set up I was so happy and then turned it on and it DIDN'T FREAKING WORK!!!! Had to schlep this two 3 avenues in New York on a roll cart (not fun) to send it back. They wouldn't send another until it was received. I then get a notice it was received and another will be shipped. Then another notice that it's on back order. Then another notice it will be shipped on Sept. 14th and then another on Sept. 18th and then another on Sept. 24th.
On Sept. 21st I got an email that it is cancelled because they are not making them. In the meantime they have not refunded me the money so I can purchase elsewhere. BEWARE of this company and don't order ANYTHING from them. They are completely ridiculous and don't seem to care that I've spent thousands in the past few years. I will never use them again.
FLAGLER, SOUTH CAROLINA -- Received my credit card bill and found a $700 charge from TigerDirect. Have NEVER used this company EVER. Reported to bank which initiated Fraud Investigation and cancelled card. Called TigerDirect and was told they wouldn't tell me what was charged to my account even though I gave them the credit card (I cancelled the card). No one there today to talk to me but they promise someone will contact me tomorrow. LOL.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- I purchased a Dell OptiPlex GX520 "Off-Lease" Desktop PC from this company. It had a 30-day exchange/return policy. After five days it arrived. However, the keyboard that was sent did not have the correct plug. I called and they sent an adapter; another five days. The adapter did NOT solve the problem. I called and they sent a new keyboard; another seven days off the 30 days. We now discovered that the computer did not have the devices (ethernet controller, SM bus controller, etc) installed so the PC could not be used on the internet. I called. A disk was sent with the devices; another seven days gone.
The package arrived on a Friday. I had to wait until Monday to have a tech walk me through the installation. Two more days gone. We got the PC up and running. We ran an Anti-Virus program and found that the machine had 118 viruses. Frustrated I waited until Monday to call TigerDirect. I explained the problem. Their response: "Sorry your 30 day-window has elapsed." In other words SUCKER! YOU ARE STUCK!
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- I purchased a computer for TigerDirect and there were no instruction pamphlets for it. I had some trouble with the computer and asked online and by phone for instructions and NEVER RECEIVED any HELP. They said most people that buy it knows what how to use it all and they won't give and manuals...
Now months later I made a purchase to TigerDirect while I was sound asleep. I received an e-mail about my purchase that they are charging my credit card. I can't reply to the e-mail. They use a no reply address. I have no links to click to let them know I did not order this. They took the privilege to order it for me since they kept my account on their file.... I had to spend time on Mother's Day canceling their fraudulent order that they made for me. And still to this day no manuals for that junk computer.
TigerDirect has no right to steal from my bank account. They have no right to keep my banking info to steal from me. Since I did not order anything I could have easily deleted their e-mail never knowing about their FRAUD until I seen my account summary... LOL. Yes purchase CA ANTI VIRUS protection in my computer that I can't use because CA isn't doing its job. IDIOTS.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- I bought 2 laptops from TigerDirect.com. One sent to me and one sent to my best friend. The one sent to me was perfectly fine. The one sent to my best friend was never received. He never received or signed for the laptop. However, the tracking number (from UPS) stated it was delivered. I called TigerDirect and they told me to call UPS (TigerDirect's shipper). I called UPS and UPS told me that TigerDirect have to file a claim. I believed UPS did a back track/tracing for the lost package.
I did not received a single call from TigerDirect notified the situation or an outcome of the case. I called back and they (TigerDirect) said that UPS closed the case because it was determined "delivered". I ask them how is that possible when my best friend did not received it? They said that's all they have and they told me to call UPS. I called UPS requesting proven evidence that the laptop was delivered. They (UPS) told me that I have to get that information from TigerDirect. They (UPS) cannot give it to me since I'm not the shipper. I called TigerDirect and they said that all the information they have from UPS is that it was "delivered" based on the UPS's tracking information.
It's ridiculous that I have to pay for something that was lost by UPS. I called my credit card company and filed a dispute. Now, I have a bill from a collection agency. I'll not pay for this laptop. I'll file with any/all company handling issues like this. I'll also make sure my voice be heard on the online rip-off forums because this is basically a RIP-OFF.
Worst Experience Ever. Do not use TigerDirect through Circuit City. They have the worst customer service and they are just a middle man. I bought a television from Circuit City and I called them to install it. They offered me a complete install at the same price as the television. I bought a 42" plasma so it wasn't cheap. I don't want to put the price. So they gave me a complete install price and I said "charge it to my credit card." They set up an install date and when the installers got here they were just a subcontractor working for TigerDirect. This subcontractor wanted an additional fee of over $800 to go ahead with the service. So here is my problem.
Don't call someone who is a middle man, go to a direct source. Complete install does not mean complete install with TigerDirect. They are just one expensive phone call and that's all they do. They also have charged my credit card for a number of different things which are now in disputes. BEWARE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.
I ordered a computer online from TigerDirect on February 21st 2008 and paid for the purchase with through my PayPal account. Five days after I ordered the computer I got a e-mail stating the product shipped and I should be getting a tracking number. I waited three more days and never received the tracking number, so I called to TigerDirect and spoke with a customer service rep named ** and she advised me the order was canceled because they did not have the parts. What surprised me was the fact that no one contacted me to advise me of this, oddly even though I received the e-mail stating it was processed.
This rep then transferred me to another rep you placed a new order for me, supposedly using the same authorization of $1080 that was processed through PayPal. I called back two days later and was advised that I could not use the same authorization code and I needed to recharge the new purchase amount to my account, which I could not afford since they still had the original pending from my account ($1080). I contacted my bank and they advised me that I needed to have TigerDirect fax a letter stating the order was canceled so I could get the funds released, otherwise it holds to my account for 30 days.
I emailed back and asked again for them to fax the release of funds and got a response from ** stating that the issue was with PayPal. I told her she needed to just fax the letter to my bank and I gave her the phone number and case number and reminded her that it was not to be submitted to PayPal. I then received a email back from ** advising me I need to re-read my previous emails telling me there is nothing they can do about it (which a simple fax two weeks ago would have resolved my issue).
I need TigerDirect to know I do not appreciate the irrelevant and condescending tone I received from them. They should have called me to advise the order was canceled and then they could have cooperated with me in regards to getting the pending charge released. I still do not have access to my funds, I have missed out on several sales on their website and again I feel like they do not care that I cannot spend my money. The list of names are of TigerDirect employees I have communicated with and all I want is my funds released and I would appreciate the opportunity to purchase my items at the previous sale price.
Just to list a few, why weren't any of them able to fax a simple letter? Why is it that a 10 year customer of the company, who has been a promoter with my professional and personal contacts gets the treatment I received.
FLORIDA -- For anyone looking for TigerDirectSucks dot org, I checked my GoDaddy status the other day when I saw that it had been redirected to TigerDirect.com. GoDaddy wrote me back telling me that TD filed legal action and was awarded ownership of my domain. I had no idea any of this was taking place.
I guess having an opinion about a documented case is legal justification for losing a domain. Looks like they might have done the same thing with the .net domain. Just be aware of the type of company you're dealing with. They were afraid of the truth for a reason. A good reason. For them, the truth sucks. TigerDirect Sucks!

Boost hair at the roots with Kenra's Root Lifting Spray. Lightweight formulation provides lasting style support and body without stiffness.
Features & Benefits:
Posted by Jane on 22nd Sep 2012
I bought a sample size at my hairdresser's and while she hadn't used it, I thought I would try it. For a few bucks, why not right? It was incredible. While I found it sticky and a little difficult to run a brush through my hair to style while drying, the outcome was great. After I adjusted how much I use and switched to styling with a pick instead, it gave tremendous volume that lasted into the next day.
If you are wanting a "clean" product, this is not for you. It has eliminated my need for hairspray, however.

SAN ANTONIO -- A man was in for quite a surprise after learning the woman in his car was a transgender person.
Police say the suspect apparently snapped and beat the woman in the face repeatedly before dumping her off at an apartment complex in the 3200 block of Hillcrest.
Police are not sue where the victim was picked up, but they believethe victim had an arrangement with the male suspect.
Preliminarily, investigators think the man responsible for the beating thought he was about to have a good time with a biological woman. But, then hefoundthings were not what they seemed. That discovery may have lead to the brutal beating.
The 24-year old knocked on a complete stranger's door, begging for help.
Police aren't calling it a hate crime, but say the man will face aggravated assault charges.

Cirtek to buy Thai electronics firm
Major supply contracts to boost 2013 earnings
Laguna-based semiconductor firm Cirtek Holdings Philippines Corp. is poised to post record profits in 2013 as it prepares for more acquisitions and another major supply deal with a big client from the United States.
In a statement at the weekend, Cirtek announced it was "all set" to acquire a Bangkok-based semiconductor assembly and test company. The identity and latest terms of agreement would be disclosed in due time, it said.
We are acquiring a company that has an excellent reputation for product quality and better-than-industry cycle time," Cirtek said.
The company added that the Thai firm would complement its existing services, particularly in the areas of high-volume, "mature packages." This would mesh well with Cirtek's strength in intricate, customer-specific packages, the company said.
The acquisition would also allow Cirtek to get top-tier customers, as the Bangkok company has several big clients the company can add into its portfolio for future growth.
And with Bangkok as a favored hub for semiconductor assembly and test activities, the acquisition would give Cirtek so-called "site redundancy" to ensure that operational disruptions are minimized.
Cirtek said that with additional investment in production equipment, the Bangkok company has the potential to generate sales turnover of over $40 million over the next three years.
In a separate announcement, Cirtek said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with a major US semiconductor company for Cirtek to supply volume requirements.
Under the deal, still subject to business and market conditions, the US company commits to load business to Cirtek from 2013 to 2017. Based on the business forecast given to Cirtek, the potential value of the business over five years is estimated at $68 million.
"With these new developments, Cirtek is confident it will achieve the 25-percent sales growth for 2013 it forecast last week," the company said. "A 25-percent growth for the full year is very achievable."

Maps for new legislative districts in the state Legislature could be released as early as tomorrow, and perhaps no where will see as many changes as the Hudson Valley—due to population growth and gerrymandering.
The Times Union reported today that a new 63th Senate district would be crafted from Amsterdam in Montgomery County to Kingston in Ulster County.
The move, according to legislative officials, would likely mean changes in districts for other Hudson Valley lawmakers.
For example, Sen. Stephen Saland, R-Poughkeepsie, who has much of Columbia County, is expected to move more into a district that's almost exclusively Dutchess County.

With this ruling, number of guilty has now gone up to seven
Asgar who worked as Tiger Memon's manager was the first to be arrested in the bomb blasts case Co-accused Shahnawaz Qureshi held guilty of undergoing weapons training in Pakistan
MUMBAI: The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on Monday held two men guilty for the bomb blasts at the Plaza cinema in Dadar on March 12, 1993. Asgar Yusuf Mukadam, 45, who drove a red Maruti van loaded with RDX to Plaza Cinema and his companion Shahnawaz Abdul Kadar Qureshi, 48, were convicted of planting bombs and causing the death of 10 persons, apart from injuring 37. With this ruling, the tally of those held guilty in the 1993 blasts case has now gone up to seven.
Designated TADA judge P.D. Kode said that Asgar was charged under section 3(3) of TADA for taking part in the landing of arms, ammunition and explosives on February 3 and 7, 1993, at Shekhadi in Raigad district, holding meetings to plan the terrorist act and taking part in the RDX filling operations and collecting money to be disbursed among people who were part of the conspiracy. He was found guilty under section 3(3) of TADA. The judge held both accused guilty under section 120 (b) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which relates to criminal conspiracy. Asgar was the first to be arrested in the bomb blasts case on March 18, 1993.
Asgar who worked as Tiger Memon's manager, drove the red Maruti van laden with RDX in two suitcases with timer devices from Al Husseini building in Mahim, where the Memon family live, to Plaza cinema. He was accompanied by co-accused Shahnawaz Qureshi. Asgar was also held guilty of abetting and facilitating explosions at the Centaur hotels at Juhu and at the Airport, and at Sea Rock Hotel, Bandra, by accompanying the co-accused persons who planted bombs there. For this too he was held guilty under section 3(3) of TADA for which the sentence can be life sentence or death penalty.
In the case of Shahnawaz Qureshi, the judge held him guilty of undergoing and taking weapons training in Pakistan in the handling of arms and explosives along with co-conspirators, taking part in the Shekhadi arms and ammunition landings of February 3 and 7, 1993 and also participating in meetings held at the residence of the co-conspirators to chalk out plans for committing terrorist acts. He was also held guilty under section 3(3) of TADA.

Trailblazing Teacher: Political Pioneer Donna Brazile Hopes to Inspire Young Women to Enter Politics and Incite Change
Watson, Jamal Eric, Diverse Issues in Higher Education
WASHINGTON -- It's a Wednesday afternoon at Georgetown University and Donna Brazile is interrogating her students about the latest political happenings in the news. The conversation abruptly shifts to whether Hillary Clinton might run for president in 2016.
"We all know that Hillary is in the process of writing her memoirs of her years in the State Department, but that has not stopped the news media from trying to figure out what else she might be up to," Brazile quips with a cynical smirk. "So, of course, every week we get treated to what I call 'Clinton du jour.'"
The students laugh in unison.
This up-and-close encounter with one of the nation's most prominent political strategists and television pundits is why they've enrolled in her "Women in American Politics" class in the first place.
Since 2002, Brazile has taught the popular course, where it is cross-listed with the Women's and Gender Studies program and the Department of Government, at the Jesuit institution.
For Brazile, who managed Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign and has served as an advisor to countless other congressional races across the country, teaching isn't simply about telling old war stories from the campaign trail (although she has plenty to share with her students, many of whom want to run for political office someday).
On this particular day, she's giving her 29 students a brief overview of how women in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have accrued political power by positioning themselves on key congressional committees.
She then moves into a spirited discussion about the second wave of feminism and the campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment, pointing out that six states--Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, Vermont, North Dakota and Alaska--have yet to elect a woman to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Students say that her course is a rigorous examination of the history of women in the political process and the hard-fought battles they've had to wage over many decades, including an in-depth look at how the media have scrutinized women candidates running for office.
From time to time, Brazile brings in other well-known women strategists, like Ann Lewis, Bay Buchanan and Ana Navarro, and reveals personal anecdotes about her time working as a young staffer for the late Rep. Shirley Chisholm or as an aide on the Rev. Jesse L. Jacksons 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns.
"I find teaching to be one of the most important things I do every week with my life," says Brazile, who just celebrated her 20th year as an adjunct professor. "It's a calling; it's a service; it's an opportunity to learn so much from my students. I can talk about the campaigns I've worked on, the women candidates that I've helped to get elected to office, but I can also learn from my students."
The New Orleans native, who makes regular appearances on CNN and ABC News as a political analyst, began teaching part time at the University of Maryland in 1993 while working as chief of staff and press secretary to Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat from D.C.
"For me, that was such a key moment in my life, because every Tuesday night, I would leave Capitol Hill at 6:00 p.m. and my class was from 7 to 10 p.m.," recalls Brazile in an interview with Diverse. "I absolutely loved it."
When Gore named Brazile his campaign manager in September 1999 and headquartered his campaign office in Nashville, Tenn. …

Marcus Valerius Martialis (known in English as Martial ) (March 1, 40 AD – between 102 and 104 AD), was a Spanish poet from Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula ) best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In these short, witty poems he cheerfully satirises city life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances, and romanticises his provincial upbringing. He wrote a total of 1,561, of which 1,235 are in elegiac couplets. He is considered to be the creator of the modern epigram.

Passports and visas with embedded biometrics and the October deadline.
Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the progress of those countries participating in our Visa Waiver Program (VWP) toward producing passports with embedded biometrics by October 26, 2004. I am here to explain the Administration's request for an extension of this deadline. Moreover, I want to report on the Department of State's progress in implementing our own biometric programs for U.S. passports and visas.
President Bush's number one priority is the security of our homeland. Secretary Ridge and I share that commitment. Secretary Ridge is responsible for our visa policy and I am responsible for its implementation.
The inclusion of biometrics in international travel documents is a critical step in upgrading security for America. And in protecting travelers, it is imperative that we improve our ability to verify the identities of prospective travelers to our country, especially individuals who might be terrorists, criminals, or others who present a security risk.
The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act (EBSA) established October 26, 2004, as a deadline. By that date, VWPcountries must begin issuing their nationals only passports that incorporate biometric identifiers that comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Also by that date, all VWP travelers must enter the U.S. with a machine-readable passport.
In May 2003, ICAO decided to make facial recognition technology the standard passport biometric, leaving VWP countries only seventeen months to bring a biometric passport from design to production. Such a process normally takes years. The EBSA does not provide a waiver provision and very few, if any, of the twenty-seven participating VWP countries will be able to meet this legislatively mandated deadline. Although the governments of the VWP countries share a commitment to this step forward, many are encountering the same challenges that we face in our own effort to introduce embedded biometrics to the U.S. passport.
The challenge provided to the international community by section 303 of the EBSA is a daunting one. Meeting it has taken VWP countries and the U.S. to the cutting edge of existing technologies. As a consequence we are confronted by complex technological issues. Among these are the security of the passport data, the interoperability of readers and passports, and the reliability of the chips imbedded in the passports will they last for the life of the passport, for example, which in most cases is ten years. We and our VWP partners are steadily resolving these issues, but studying them and then achieving success in dealing with them takes time. Moreover, we want to get the science as right as possible before we spend dollars, implement, and depend on these new measures to enhance our security.
This concern for taking the necessary time to get things right has not kept us from working aggressively with the VWP countries. We have urged them to issue biometric passports by the October 26, 2004 deadline. Moreover, we believe that success in this international effort to provide better security for our citizens requires U.S. leadership.
That is why in the ICAO working groups, for example, we led in advocating the successful inclusion of biometrics in travel documents. In the G-8, we strongly advocated support for ICAO leadership in biometrics and we participate actively in a special working group on biometrics established by the G-8 ministers of Home and Justice Affairs. At every opportunity around the world, State Department officials seek to educate VWP government representatives, journalists and citizens from these countries about the requirements and deadlines. In addition, VWP countries have sent representatives to Washington and we have had full and open discussions on the issues.
As a result, VWP countries are making progress toward complying with the biometric requirement, but I doubt whether any will meet the October 26 deadline. None of the larger countries for example, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy or Spain--will begin issuing passports with standardized biometrics by that deadline. Japan and the United Kingdom say they will begin in late 2005. Others may not come on-line until well into 2006.
Under these circumstances, we believe there are compelling reasons to extend the October 26, 2004 deadline to November 30, 2006. This extension would enable our allies to resolve the scientific problems and to develop the more secure, biometrically enabled documents that the original legislation mandated. Equally important, by providing this additional time we can be confident that the solutions developed by our partners in the VWP program will work effectively and be interoperable with similar systems installed throughout the world. It is in our interest to ensure global interoperability, to enhance not just our own border security but the security of our citizens overseas and of other citizens worldwide. Rushing a solution to meet the current deadline virtually guarantees that we will have systems that are not interoperable. Such a result may undercut international acceptance of this new technology as well as compound rather than ease our overall challenge.
Failure to extend the deadline will have other serious consequences as well. Since travelers from VWP countries with passports issued on or after October 26, 2004 without biometrics will need visas to travel to the United States, we estimate that the demand for non-immigrant visas will jump by over five million applications in fiscal year 2005. This represents a 70 percent increase in our non-immigrant visa workload. There are no easy solutions to handling this tremendous increase in our workload. True, this is a temporary problem because the workload will progressively decrease as VWP countries begin mass production of biometric passports. But in the interim, we would need to implement plans for a massive surge in visa processing, which would involve extra expense, diversion of personnel from other vital functions, and extending service hours, perhaps even to around-the-clock 24/7 visa processing at some posts. Even with a Manhattan Project approach, we cannot be sure that we could meet the demand without creating backlogs and long waits for appointments. We are already working hard on public diplomacy outreach to address some of the negative perceptions and misunderstandings concerning tightened U.S. visa policies. Even longer wait times would make it even more difficult to convince people worldwide, particularly youth, that America welcomes them and wants them here, to go to our schools, visit our museums and learn our language.
The delays resulting from this increased nonimmigrant visa demand will also discourage travel to the U.S. as visitors vote with their feet and choose to travel elsewhere, or defer their travel to the U.S., hurting relations with some of our closest friends and allies, and harming the American economy.
In fact, we judge that the added economic costs will be substantial. VWP travelers, who tend to spend more than other visitors, contribute billions of dollars to our economy each year. One out of every eight jobs in the U.S. civilian labor force is employed in some segment of the travel and tourism industry. We want to avoid unnecessary harm to this vital industry.
I want to be clear that extending the deadline is only part of our answer. We will also continue to pursue vigorous diplomatic efforts at the highest levels to ensure that the VWP countries remain committed to introducing biometric passports. Over the next few months, the Department of State will participate in the VWP country reviews led by Secretary Ridge's Homeland Security Department and we will take every opportunity to remind governments of the importance of meeting the new deadline should it be extended. We will ensure that they all understand that if they fail to meet the extended deadline we will have no alternative but to begin requiring visas for travelers from those countries. Further, to continue to tighten our security posture, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will enroll all VWP travelers in U.S.-VISIT the program that tracks the entry and exit of foreign visitors by using electronically scanned fingerprints and photographs. Secretary Ridge will describe this program in detail for the committee.
As I noted earlier, we believe that embedding biometrics in U.S. passports, to establish a clear link between the person issued the passport and the user, is an important step forward in the effort to strengthen border security. Our plan is to introduce contact-less chips to U.S. passports electronic chips on which we will write the bearer s biographic information and photograph. In December of this year, the program should produce the first biometric U.S. passports using ICAO's standard of facial recognition. Further, under this program we will complete the transition to the biometric passport by the end of 2005. It is important to note that we are encountering the same challenges as the VWP countries in developing our own biometric passport and will be unable to meet the deadline mandated for them.
That said, we are making good progress in our own biometric efforts. For example, we began deployment of our Biometric Visa Program on September 22, 2003, at five pilot posts. The program is now operational at more than 125 visa-adjudicating posts worldwide and will be operational at all visa-adjudicating posts by October 26th 2004, as mandated by law. This biometric program includes both non-immigrant and immigrant visas.
Under the Biometric Visa Program, consular officers electronically scan the fingerprints of the visa applicants at the visa interview windows as part of the visa interview process. These fingerprints are checked electronically against the DHS fingerprint database. If there is no match, then the visa applicant's fingerprints are stored in the U.S.-VISIT databases. If the fingerprints do match any in the fingerprint database, no action can be taken on the visa application until a consular officer reviews the information. If and when a visa is issued, the applicant's bio-data, photo and fingerprint data are sent to DHS's U.S.-VISIT system. When the visa applicant arrives at a port of entry, the DHS officer will use the fingerprint data to match the visa in the U.S.-VISIT databases, and will compare the visa holder's fingerprints with those on file. This one-to-one fingerprint comparison ensures that the person presenting the visa at the port of entry is the same person to whom the visa was issued. To ensure the integrity of visas issued prior to the introduction of biometrics (currently some 20 million), we have also upgraded our visa datashare program for use in the initial inspection under U.S.-VISIT. This means that U.S.-VISIT has access to the photograph that was previously captured on most visas currently in circulation providing us with a critical enhancement during primary inspection even though fingerprints are not available. An additional security measure of the Biometric Visa Program is that consular officers now interview all visa applicants with the exception of children, the elderly, and diplomats. We are working hand-in-hand with our colleagues in DHS to ensure that we have a system that allows legitimate travelers to be on their way as expeditiously as possible while, at the same time, it identifies those who pose a threat so we can prevent them from entering our country or arrest them if the situation warrants such action.
As I said, ensuring the security of our borders is our number one priority. But protecting our democracy and the special, welcoming society we have always been demands that we remain an open nation. America must continue to be a magnet for enterprising minds from around the world and the preferred destination of millions of tourists. We must also continue to add new richness to our unique mosaic to enhance our cultural diversity and further enlighten our tolerance. And we must continue to be that shining beacon on the hill for people around the world.
In my confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January 2001, I pointed out that America is a country of countries, with a citizen in her ranks from every country in the world. I said that there is no country we do not touch and no country that does not touch us. For me these are not just words. I am a direct beneficiary of this connectedness and of our country's historic openness. So I believe passionately that we must deny the victory to terrorists that changing the very nature of our democracy would represent.
But I am also a realist. I know that while we maintain our openness we must also enhance our security. I know too that enhancing our security was a principal purpose of the Border Security Act.
What I am requesting of you today is that you and the members of your committee recognize that the deadline of October 26, 2004 is not only unrealistic, it is counterproductive. Moreover, I am requesting that we fix this problem by extending the deadline to November 30, 2006.

"Mainstream Mystic" is a well-written and intriguing book. I really enjoyed the read. Some of the concepts don't match my own beliefs, but some of them do. I, too, believe the world of spirits is very close to us all, but in another dimension that is rarely accessible. Patti's experiences are fascinating.

"PONY UP" at Mandarin Oriental, Boston on Kentucky Derby Day for Mitochondrial Disease
MitoAction announces the second annual Sandra K. Russell Derby Day Benefit for Mito, a Derby Day fundraiser to support those who are battling mitochondrial disease. The benefit will be held on Saturday, May 7 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Mandarin Oriental, Boston. Up to four hundred guests will celebrate and watch the Kentucky Derby Race and enjoy delicious food, drinks, music, contests, fabulous auction items, and prizes.
(PRWEB) April 29, 2011
The event is held in memory of Sandra K. Russell, who at the age of 52 lost a courageous battle with mitochondrial disease. Sandra's husband, Gordon, is the owner of Massachusetts boutique stores "In the Pink" and serves on the Board of Directors for MitoAction.org. Tickets are available online at http://www.MitoAction.org/derbyday.
MitoAction's Executive Director Cristy Balcells says, "There are thousands of kids and adults suffering from mitochondrial disease in New England. MitoAction's mission is to provide outreach, resources, and support that immediately and significantly improve the quality of life for these people. The Derby Day benefit allows us to continue to offer free resources to these families while offering locals a fun and unique way to celebrate Derby Day."
The evening's program features participation from Winner's Circle sponsor Choate, and additional sponsors Grey Goose Vodka, Harpoon Brewery, Kappy's Liquors, Lilly Pulitzer, In the Pink, Acton Pharmacy, America's Compounding Center, and WHDH-TV. Funds raised will benefit the 80,000 children and adults who count on MitoAction's patient support, education, and advocacy initiatives each year. The evening's festivities will include a ladies' Derby hat parade and contest, silent and live auctions, gourmet food and drink from Mandarin Oriental, Boston, and Kentucky Derby-style games.
Mitochondrial disease is a non-curable neuromuscular disease that causes debilitating pain, fatigue, and organ failure because the cells of the body are not effectively able to produce energy. Mitochondrial disorders affect both children and adults; a diagnosis of "Mito" is catastrophic and often ends in death. Boston-area hospitals lead the country in both research and clinical care for patients suffering from Mito. The mission of MitoAction is to improve quality of life for all people with mitochondrial disease through education, support, and advocacy initiatives.

HOMECOMINGS AND new beginnings are always memorable. The past year has given us the opportunity to revisit some plays that are close to our heart—and rekindle our love affair with the theater:
It began with Spotlight's spirited restaging of the classic Filipino pop musical, "Magsimula Ka," followed by the revival of Ryan Cayabyab and Nestor Torre's hit religious musical, "Magnificat," which began touring in Mindoro last month.
On May 27, Friday, our theatrical trip down memory lane continues with the latest incarnation of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues," starring the exciting young trio of Missy Maramara, Pheona Baranda and Amparo Sietereales, who will perform for Thomson Reuters' Diversity program at McKinley Hill.
Ampy and Pheona are back in the country after their respective stints with Universal Studios Singapore and Hong Kong Disneyland, while Missy is set to leave for the US on a Fulbright scholarship in acting.
The groundbreaking feminist play is important to us, not only because its 2001 staging marked our first foray into directing, but also because it proved to us that there's more to theater than mere entertainment.
Initially, the play was met with a lot of resistance. We couldn't find sponsors, nor could we promote "TVM" anywhere, and the production was besieged with threats —but, Monique Wilson and NVC persevered.
The play advocates woman empowerment and helps fight misogyny and the patriarchal culture's abusive practices against women and children. It has since been performed in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and all over the Philippines.
Speaking of sweet homecomings, we were glad to run into Trixie Wilson-Cascella, her daughter Phoebe and Tita Mila Esteva during one of "TVM's" rehearsals at the NVC Actors Studio early this week. Trixie is the eldest sister of Jamie, Gina and Monique Wilson who has come home—after 20 years of living in the US!
Ironic backdrop
On the indie film scene, director Archie del Mundo makes an auspicious debut by way of the gripping adult drama, "Taksikab" (showing at Galleria's IndieSine this week). Using the euphoric presidential inauguration of Noynoy Aquino as an ironic backdrop, the movie follows the roundelay narrative device utilized by David Hare's "The Blue Room" and Arthur Schnitzler's "La Ronde" to expose the amoral decadence that results from the horrors of unrelenting poverty.
Well-acted and appropriately cast, the metaphor-rich movie follows the awkward romance between gay taxi driver, David (Kristoffer King) and his callboy-best friend, Bodji (Adrian Sebastian), who has decided to leave his hard life in the city behind for a fresh start in the province.
As their story unfolds, we are introduced to a slew of colorful characters, like an aging prostitute (Marife Necesito) who dotes on a young cigarette vendor cum pimp, Toto (Martin de los Santos)—who doesn't know that his link to the helpful hooker and the distraught driver goes beyond friendship!
Jess Mendoza, Ray An Dulay, Tony Lapena, Jonas Gruet, Marcus Cabrera and Dustin Jose join King and Necesito in this daisy chain of dramatic (and explicit) encounters that unsurprisingly ends in unspeakable tragedy.

This unique long-distance hiking experience is so popular, we are repeating the pilgrimage along the Via Podiensis. The first written account of the walk from Le Puy en Velay to Santiago dates from the 10th century, more than one thousand years ago! It takes us 25 days to walk from Le Puy to Moissac with a daily average of about 11 miles; however, it may be possible to join the small group for only part of the way.

So the Unbelievers say: "This is a wonderful thing! 3"What! When we die and become dust, (shall we live again?) That is a (sort of) return far (from our understanding)." 4We already know how much of them the earth takes away: With Us is a record guarding (the full account). 5But they deny the Truth when it comes to them: so they are in a confused state. 6Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it? 7And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)- 8To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah). 9And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests; 10And tall (and stately) palm-trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another;- 11As sustenance for (Allah's) Servants;- and We give (new) life therewith to land that is dead: Thus will be the Resurrection. 12Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud, 13The 'Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut, 14The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba'; each one (of them) rejected the messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them). 15Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation? 16It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. 17Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left. 18Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it). 19And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 20And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given). 21And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness. 22(It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 23And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 24(The sentence will be:) "Throw, throw into Hell every contumacious Rejecter (of Allah)!- 25"Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 26"Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 27His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray." 28He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning. 29"The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 30One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the full?" It will say, "Are there any more (to come)?" 31And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more a thing distant. 32(A voice will say:) "This is what was promised for you,- for every one who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance, who kept (His Law), 33"Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him): 34"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!" 35There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more besides in Our Presence. 36But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)? 37Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth). 38We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. 39Bear, then, with patience, all that they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting. 40And during part of the night, (also,) celebrate His praises, and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration. 41And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quiet near,- 42The Day when they will hear a (mighty) Blast in (very) truth: that will be the Day of Resurrection. 43Verily it is We Who give Life and Death; and to Us is the Final Goal- 44The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us. 45We know best what they say; and thou art not one to overawe them by force.
