A few products are subject to specific duty rates based on weight or measure.
Ad valorem rates are based on CIF value.
For items subject to ad valorem duties, the WTO Customs Valuation Agreement applies. According to this agreement, there are six acceptable methods of determining customs value. Typically the first method is used (unless the buyer and seller are related parties). When the value cannot be obtained this way, or is rejected by customs, one of the other methods is to be used, in descending order:

By Karl Grossman
Maria, an honor student at Suffolk County Community College, lives in fear of being thrown out of the country she knows and loves — the United States.
Coming here was not her choice. Her father came in 1996, leaving a troubled Argentina. His lifelong dream was to come to "America which he saw as the place you could become a better person." Here "he's worked in construction — dedicated to building homes and renovating kitchens," said Maria. She and her mother followed five years later. Maria was 9.
"I've grown up in the United States. This is the home I've known," she was saying last week. She has done splendidly here. She has a 3.6 GPA at Suffolk Community — a 4 GPA (an A in every course) in her major of psychology. Her goal is to work "with children. I want to give back to children who need psychological help."
But she lives in dread of "being taken away. I fear that strongly." And it's no theoretical concern. Two months ago, her father went to pick up building materials. "He never came back." He had a seizure and an ambulance was called. The Suffolk Police also came and arrested him. Upon finding out what happened, "my heart dropped," said Maria.
"Now he's facing deportation." For the past two months, her father has been in a federal deportation facility in New Jersey. Her four-year-old brother, born here and thus a citizen, can't understand what has happened. "Yesterday he said, 'My dad doesn't want to see me.'"
Maria struggles on. Because she is undocumented, she can't get a Social Security card, which means she cannot get a driver's license. "I have to depend on someone to take me to school." Working is only arranged with great difficulty. She has two certificates in cosmetology from Suffolk BOCES, but has been told by beauty parlors that they won't hire her without a Social Security number. She works at a pizza parlor, "serving customers, making pizza, doing the cleaning."
She needs the money badly to pay for college. Suffolk Community and SUNY colleges on Long Island accept undocumented students, but they're not eligible for financial assistance.
Meanwhile, Maria aims to "reach a Ph.D. level."
Maria — and I am not using her real name — is one of many undocumented students on Long Island facing a nightmare of a life. Suffolk-based Long Island Immigrant Students Advocates seeks to help them.
Osman Canales, its co-founder and leader, notes there are an "estimated 2.1 million undocumented students" now in the U.S., some 10 percent in New York State.
The organization also works for the passage of the DREAM Act, federal legislation that would help undocumented students like Maria. The DREAM (for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act applies to undocumented young people who came to the U.S. at 15 or younger, graduated from a U.S. high school or received a GED, then graduated from a two-year college or completed two-years towards a four-year degree, or served in the military for two years. If they fulfill those requirements and "maintain good moral character" they would be eligible for permanent U.S. residency. In 2010, the DREAM Act passed the House of Representatives and came within five votes of passage in the Senate. (The votes were largely partisan: Democrats for it, Republicans against.) Also, a New York State DREAM Act was introduced last year that would allow undocumented students access to state-funded college financial aid programs.
Visit the website of the Long Island Immigrant Students Advocates — at http://liisaedu.blogspot.com — to learn more about the group and its activities and how you might help. Its phone number is 631-888-4300.
"I wish more people would see us as human beings, not as criminals," Maria said last week. "No matter what our skin tone, we all come from the same base."
For her, "I refuse to give up."
The United States was built on the energy and talents and intelligence of folks like Maria and her father. What a shame for them to be rejected from a country whose attitude toward immigrants is supposed to be memorialized by those words of compassion and welcome at the base of the Statute of Liberty.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I have already printed and read the RFC's, a little too vague.
This is a perplexing project. I am attempted to write code to replace an old product that did the following:
SUN machine makes RPC client call.
IBM machine has RPC product (Sybase Open Server Connect) which is writen in assembly and COBOL and some object code. First I had to go back in time to understand why this wasn't C code? IBM was EBCDIC, didn't have a C compiler and TCP/IP didn't run native. So the SYBASE folks saw opportunity for $$$ and ported the RPC ASCII C code to IBM Assembly, and then all you had to do (a lot) was make a whole bunch of COBOL programs that took the RPC input to make calls to your ADABAS database, and return the output to the client. Now they no longer support their product, but continue to charge for it. The platform is moving to another datacenter's larger computer. Rather then buy the product again and pay more, we are trying to rewrite it. <This sounds like a justification for public license software in itself !>
I had hoped to find C code and would then toss the proprietary and write my own RPC handling in C. Current version of IBM's mainframe operating system has a C compiler and has native RPC support & TCP/IP. I can still write C code.
So what does all this have to do with Linux? This may get ported to Linux soon.
So, oh well may have to wait for the book, wanted to see the movie first.

I have been using Paula's Choice products off and on for years. I have read her books and agree with most of her theories about skin care and ACNE treatment in particular. I am 42 years old and have suffered from mild to moderate acne since I started puberty! I have tried pretty much every prescription and non-prescription product out there and I have been on Accutane twice. I have very oily, sensitive skin and I have never had a completely clear face. After trying many things, I have finally resolved that the most important product I can use on a regular basis is benzoyl peroxide. I use Paula's Skin Balancing Cleanser morning and night and I use Paula's 5% BP every morning after cleansing. I use Tazorac .05% cream at night. I can't say enough good things about the 5% BP. It has powerful Benzoyl peroxide in it, yet it is in a light gentle gel that soothes my skin as it disinfects. It is truly like a moisturizer, but it has very effective acne medicine packed inside of it. It also works almost like a mattifying lotion for me. If I don't use it, my skin gets more oily throughout the day. I have tried all sorts of BP lotions and potions from other companies, both prescription and non-prescription, and Paula's product is by the far the best. The thing that makes it unique is that it is very effective on acne without over-drying the skin. I only use moisturizer around my eyes and mouth after I use Paula's BP....I don't need it anywhere else. Now that I have said all the good things about the BP, I will tell you about some other products I have used by Paula. The Balancing Cleanser is also very nice. It is gentle, yet effective, and it is fragrance-free, which is important for my sensitive skin (and allergy prone nose). I used to find that the consistency would change as I got to the end of the large bottle, but it seems that they have corrected this problem. I just finished a large bottle and it is still the right consistency. I just ordered another large bottle of the cleanser and the 5% BP tube last night.Two products that I have found very disappointing are the Skin Balancing Toner and the Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. I read reviews about the toner for months before I broke down and tried it. It claims to reduce oiliness, condition your skin, and reduce pore appearance. I do not find that it does any of these things! I do find, however, that it leaves a funny residue on my face that I am sure is clogging my pores. I would have returned it, but I think it was on sale when I got it, and the shipping charge to send it back is not worth the trip to the post office. The Barely There Tint was equally disappointing. I LOVE the idea of having a sunscreen and tint in one lightweight product, but it does not work for me! The coverage is almost undetectable (meaning I don't feel it is evening out my skin tone at all) and the feel is greasy. I can also tell you that each time I use it, I find some new pimples on the areas I have used it. Most specifically, I tried it again the other day and just put it on around my nose. Sure enough, the next day, I had several pimples on my nose (which I hardly ever get). Anyway, I was very disappointed with that product.Finally, I have and love the BHA Gel 2% and the AHA gel 8%. I use these once or twice a week in the evening. They do a great job of smoothing my skin and reducing pore size and oiliness. Over and over again, I have tried to use both of these products on different occasions as a more permanent part of my skin care routine. Every time I do, my skin overreacts to them. If I use them on a daily basis, my skin gets irritated and I begin to get bumps all over my face. I guess my skin is too sensitive for daily use, but can benefit from occasional deep exfoliation.I have been meaning to write these reviews for a long time. I wanted to share what I have experienced with these products in case it could help someone else who has suffered with acne like I have. Overall, I love Paula's philosophy and the care she puts in developing her products. I also think she knows more about skin care than any other person, dermatologist, etc. She does an extraordinary job with research and her books are very helpful....especially The Beauty Bible and Don't Go to the Cosmetic Counter Without Me.Thanks Paula!Robbin Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review! Please contact customer care so that we may help with the products that did not work well for you so that we may send other options to try instead.

I've used Paula's Choice products off and on for 10 years now with varying degrees of success. This is absolutely my least favorite I've tried and by far the most ineffective. For the past few months I've been using it with the Normalizing Cleanser and Targeted Acne Relief Toner. At first I thought my skin was just adjusting to the new regime because I was breaking out even a bit more than I was before I started using them. This still continued to happen (much to my chagrin). I didn't know if all of the products were to blame, or just one of them. Through a lot of trial and error I've come to the conclusion that it is this product that isn't coming close to pulling it's weight in fighting my stubborn acne. I've replaced it with an awesome 10% Benzoyl Peroxide over-the-counter product Paula recommends and I'm seeing results! Finally! I've very thankful for the above mentioned cleanser and toner because I LOVE them both so very much. I guess if you have mild acne this product might work. For me it was a why bother product. It is like it was void of acne fighting ingredients. I definitely won't reorder this product, but will continue to use some of PC's other items. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results. The amount of time it will take to see improvement really can vary from person to person and ultimately depends on the extent of the condition or concerns they are trying to address. We are happy to hear another product has worked better! We will leave an in house credit for the purchase price of this product on your account which may be used on a future phone order and suggest you consider trying our new BHA9 for stubborn blemishes and clogged pores. It will work great in your routine! Please contact customer care with any questions.

Comments about Clear Extra Strength Acne Treatment with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.25 oz:
I use this every other day at night time after my moisturizer on any red areas or any areas with spots, and the next day my skin is silky soft and clear. however If you use this every day it gets a little drying. Benzoyl peroxide is a life saver.

Combining this with the Clear Pore Normalizing Cleanser, 1% BHA Lotion, and my favorite moisturizer(s), my skin has transformed! It's not perfect but it's a MAJOR step up from the breakouts, especially those painful guys that'd pop up along my jawline. I was using the Clear Regular Strength Skin Clearing Treatment, but I realized it wasn't strong enough for me, so I tried this and the acne really has disappeared. It is a bit drying but that's why it's important to Moisturize. - A hooked customer
Excellent spot treatment
By Ann M.
This helps pimples go away. I use the blemish extractor tool to apply the product rather than soak up the product with a Q-tip. Rinse w/ hot water after. It was too strong when I was using retina-a - caused too much drying, but it's excellent now that I'm using BHA twice daily instead.
Strong and Effective!
By Evelyn B.
When I first started using the CLEAR System, I used the extra strength products (Cleanser, Exfoliater and BP). My acne ridden skin looked significantly better after the first night and my skin was totally cleared within a week. This is the best extra strength BP Treatment available anywhere, at any price. It dries to an attractive finish and is unbeatable for treating breakouts. I've since stepped down to the regular strength (2 1/2%) but this is the stuff that totally cleared my skin.
By Michelle S.
I have been using Clearacil 10% BP solution for about 15 years and as my skin ages, it is looking tight and dry and is starting to wrinkle. My skin improves dramatically when I skip a day, but then I break out. I decided to scale back the percentage and this was the only formula I could find with 5%. I ordered a sample and oh my goodness...I LOVE this stuff! It is light, goes on smooth, and then disappears into my skin! Some of my pink spots are fading, too! Just ordered the full size!
The cure!
By Ann P.
I only get an occasional blemish (don't hate me!) but when I do the 5% BP really works. At the first sign of a blemish I pat a little of this on. I usually only apply twice a day because I don't want to compromise the sunscreen on my face. Twice now the blemish has vanished within 24 hours! I will always have this on hand. Thanks PC!
Holy Grail for me too!
By Abigail L.
I used to need to rely on expensive Retin-A to manage my existing acne thus dealing with peeling, inability to wax and all around sensitive skin because of it. Once I switched to the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, I have never looked back. I started with the sample and was really impressed with how it made my existing blemishes reduce and even disappear over night. I mostly use this as a spot treatment or put it on a section of my face and I have not seen any sensitivity whatsoever - only results!
This is my SAVIOR!
By Ines M.
This is literally the holy grail of holy grails for me when it comes to skincare. I have never in my life used a product that works so quickly and so effectively. I'll dab this on blemishes and go to bed, and I will literally wake up in the morning with a clear face. It's a miracle!Since the price has been knocked down on this, I'm extremely worried this is being phased out of the line. I will be absolutely devastated if this leaves! Please don't ever stop making this, it has SAVED my skin!
Best product for achne!
By ClaudiaB
I am 42 and have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I cant use ANY anti blemish products (including prescription) because they burn my skin. Until I found Paula. I usually get one large painful blemish on my chin. Using this and the exfoliating solution cut the healing process by 70% and stops the pain. Recently I had a terrible breakout all over my chin, it was awful and painful, I used these two products and it stopped it on its track, no more break outs! In am grateful to Paula's choice!
By Eden K.
This is the spot treatment I?ve been looking for without the harsh, drying effects! Whenever I feel a blemish coming up, I slather a bit of this on and the life cycle of the pimple is greatly diminished. When my face is on the fritz, I cover it in a thin layer of this BP and that puts me back on track.
Very on the fence about this product !
By Sandy
I had originally tried the Regular version of this product but didn't find it effective so I went on and tried the Extra Strength. Well, yes it is a little more effective but I think this product would work great if you have VERY oily skin. I have combination skin and I had some breakouts on my cheeks last week and applied this product (and moisturizer) day and night... oh my, let me tell you my skin this week is VERY flaky, extremely dry. Didn't work that great for me :(
Works super quickly without irritation
By nikyla s.
I was using the clean and clear 5% product recommended by beautypedia for years but hated the sticky thick texture and barely used it. I decided to try this because so far I've loved everything from paula and this is so much nicer then the clean and clear. It absorbs right away and doesn't feel gross. I had some zits before I got this and this made them shrink flat overnight and I haven't got another once since those went away. hg for me :)
Not for me
By Enrique M.
I don't like this at all, i think extra strength products aren't meant for me, because i do enjoy the regular strength bp, it's lovely, but this just made any spot i had redder and bigger. I Will stick to using bp regular strength and bha 9 when i do have a breakout.
Would never give this up!
By Anonymous
I had moderate acne and started out with the 2.5% which I would say worked for about 6 months to a year (also a great product - if you haven't used it yet, I would suggest starting out with that). When it seemed to not work as well, I upped to the 5% which I use twice a day along with other PC products. I use it as a spot treatment for especially nasty breakouts and it works wonders - I can see progress only hours later! I wouldn't use any other BP product. Worth the money.
Perhaps too strong for my skin
By Kay G
I probably should've stuck to the 2.5% BP version, which worked great for me. I ordered the 5% version (I've used other 5% BP creams in the past), but I guess my skin is too sensitive for it now. Whenever I tried to apply it once a day before bedtime, I would wake up the next day to redness. :(
Didn't work
By Y. L.
I have an oily skin with adult acne and breakouts. This product didn't help to prevent them. It did nothing to my skin, but de-hydrating it.
Very impressed!
I have suffered from mild/moderate acne since I was a teenager. Currently, I'm middle-aged, and have adult acne. I used a "popular" acne- fighting product line for years with much success, but as of recent, my acne stopped responding as well to that product. I decided to take a chance and try Paula's Choice 5% BPO. It is working wonderfully...been using it for approximately 3 weeks now! And a BONUS...it's clearing my teenage son's mild/moderate acne, too!
Essential Part of my routine!
By Max Levac
I absolutely love this product! I consider this item a vital component of my skin care routine. I've used the regular strength before and it was "ok" but this one definitely works! In about 1 - 3 days max I can see my break out fade away and almost gone. I use it morning and night to prevent break outs. It really dose what it says: it's nice on your and leave a nice matt finish.
No noticeable difference-- except perhaps worsened acne
By Chelsea E
I usually use 10% BP, but I thought I would switch to something less intense for most nights to give my skin a break. Unfortunately, this just doesn't seem to work. Previously to trying PC products, I had mild acne with a few small bump breakouts here and there and a few occasional larger blemishes. Now, I have exactly the same, but perhaps with a few more small bump type breakouts. I'm disappointed, but I'll keep using it occasionally to give my skin the benefits of BP with less %.
The Best
By Holly C.
The best 5% BP ever!! Keeps my skin clear and I will never be without it :)
Never will be without!
For the first time EVER my sixty-five year old face had a major blemish, and nothing I tried had worked. This product was the answer I'd been searching for. I now use it daily over my entire face as a preventative measure. It doesn't irritate my skin, and is very light. I feel fortunate that Paula's Choice put this 5% Benzoyl Peroxide on the market just when I needed it most. Thanks for another great skin care product! I am all about PC!

Color me impressed
By Sascha
Is it too soon to be in love? I received PC products yesterday, 9/5/14 (not 8/5/14) at 1:30 in the afternoon. Super excited, I used all of them right away. I covered my face w/ this and my face was bUrNiNg! So last night, I used all the products again, and this one I spot treated the spots on my face. The spots are all but invisible now. Was it the pore refining toner? the BHA 2% liquid? This morning my face looks different. It is pink. It has an odd shine. But my skin is smooth. Plump
Color me impressed, cont'd
and pink. Is it truly possible overnight my skin looks better? Overnight? I am 46, and have spent years using ordinary products that have done nothing for my skin. All the research PC has done was believable, so I took a leap of faith and tried her products. I have acne prone oily/combination skin. Although my skin has an odd sheen to it this morning, it is dry. Not flaky bad dry, NOT oily!!! I am so happy these reviews are real. These products work. Oh thank you PC, thank you.
By Juliana N.
if I have a few pimples on the face .Give this remedy should be applied to the entire face or just problem but places??????
Customer Service Response: Either placement is fine; however, if your breakouts are more random rather than confined to a small area (like the chin) than at least once-daily applicatoin over the entire face (avoiding eyelids and lips) is advised. Apply with clean fingers or, preferably, a cotton pad.
Great for those stubborn guys!
By Lauren S.
I typically use the regular strength during my daily routine, but I love having a bottle of this for the bad breakouts. I just use it on areas that need it and they clear up even faster. Can be drying if used all the time. Great product for emergencies!

Key Ingredients:
benzoyl peroxide, allantoin, bisabolol
Active: Benzoyl Peroxide 5% (anti-bacterial agent) Inactive: Water, Propylene Glycol (slip agent/penetration enhancer), Bisabolol, Allantoin (anti-irritants), Acrylates C10-30 Alkyl Acrylates Crosspolymer (film-forming/suspending agent), Hydroxyethylcellulose (thickener), Sodium Citrate (stabilizer), Laureth-4 (emulsifier), Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol (preservatives), Sodium Hydroxide (pH adjuster), Disodium EDTA (chelating agent), Phenoxyethanol (preservative).

For best results, do not use hydroquinone (the active ingredient in our RESIST Triple-Action Dark Spot Eraser Lotion & Gel) and benzoyl peroxide (the active ingredient in our Clear Skin Clearing Treatments) at the same time. A temporary dark staining of the skin may occur. If accidentally used together, wash the skin with soap and water to remove the staining.

The Vampire Diaries
4 Things to Do If You're Not at EyeCon This Weekend
Normally during the Spring Break season, our envious thoughts turn to Miami or Cancun, but this year there's only one southerly destination that's on our minds: Atlanta. JIC you somehow missed the news, a ginormous Vampire Diaries convention called EyeCon is going on there this weekend, complete with appearances by Ian Somerhalder (Damon), Paul Wesley (Stefan), Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy), and Michael Trevino (Tyler) . The jam-packed schedule of events includes Q&A with those fine dudes, a Carnival of Terror, and a Mystic Masquerade Ball.
So yeah, if you weren't already bummed that you're missing it, sorry for bringing you down. Misery loves company, though, and we're equally dejected about being unable to make it. However, instead of wallowing, we've come up with a list of things to do that will be (almost) as much as attending the Con itself.
1. You masked for it: Host your own masquerade ball. Short notice, yes, but really, all you need is a mask. Click through the pics of the latest Mystic Falls masked soiree for inspiration, follow our mask-making instructions, text some friends, bake some vampire cupcakes, and get out of those sweats you've been wearing since TVD went into hiatus. Seriously, we're getting worried about you. So have a ball… just don't invite any mysterious strangers in. That's the kiss of death.
2. Go natural: Where does all the MF action take place? In the great, misty, dark outdoors, of course! So go into the woods, look for some vervain, and soak up the spring. And hey, getting active in the fresh air will help get in shape. For more inspiration, see our shirtless Michael Trevino video, Nina Dobrev and Candice Accola's bikini bod photos, and, always refreshing, Damon's famous bathtub scene.
3. Become a Klaus-et case: Who is this man of mystery who wants Elena — in a totally different way than Stefan and Damon do? We've got some theories as to what spawned this evil, and if he has the elder Salvatore brother shaking in his fine Italian shoes, you know he's bad news bears. But everyone, Candice included, is keeping pretty mum on the O.V.'s deets, so get to know the hottie who plays him, Joseph Morgan, instead. Judge his ability to terrify based on his tweets, and check out his performance in Ben Hur to see how fine he looks in old, old, old tyme garb.
4. Follow Friday (and Saturday and Sunday): Absolutely must Twitter stalk the lucky ones at EyeCon? Us too. We'll be following everything under the hashtag #TVDEyecon and checking out the cool photos and inside scoop from these peeps:

STAGE TUBE: Jewel Kade Founder & Designer Talks Upcoming Fashion Trends
The adage "less is more" does not hold true for jewelry fashion this fall – layering is where the trends are stacking up for the upcoming season. This is just one of the fall and spring jewelry trends Janet Kinkade, Jewel Kade Founder, President & Designer, will be sharing from center stage at the Utah Valley Women's Expo September 7-8.
Other fall 2012 trends include mixed metals and customization. "Don't be afraid to mix silver, gold and even brass or copper in one look. While you don't want to go overboard, you can subtly bring out different tones in layers that catch the eye and complement your wardrobe," said Kinkade.

Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by the pineal
gland, a small gland located in the brain. Very small amounts of melatonin are
also found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Some people take melatonin to treat
jet lag or sleep problems. Scientists are studying other possible benefits
of melatonin, such as for people with sleep disorders, those with winter
depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and people who work evenings,
nights, or alternate shifts.
Scientists believe that very small
doses of melatonin taken at certain times of the day help reset the body's
24-hour clock, or circadian rhythms. But its safety and effectiveness have not
been thoroughly tested. Although melatonin occurs naturally in our bodies,
taking large doses of it may cause undesirable side effects, such as sleep
disruption and daytime fatigue. Very large doses of melatonin may also inhibit
a woman's ovulation by disturbing hormone levels.
The body's
natural melatonin may help some people to fall asleep, but it is not clear
whether supplemental melatonin will help you fall asleep or remain sleeping
during the night. More studies of melatonin's effect on chronic insomnia are
needed. For more information, see the topic Insomnia.

Posada's release blasted by critics
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
As we reported last night, 79 year old anti-Castro Cuban exile Luis Posada Carilles – a former CIA operative linked to the bombing of a Cuban airliner – was released on bail yesterday and immediately returned to Miami to await trail on immigration fraud charges. Posada's release infuriated the governments of Cuba and Venezuela, who have been trying to extradite him to stand trial over the 1976 airliner bombing, which killed 73 people, including several teenage members of Cuba's national fencing team. Yesterday the National Committee to Free the Cuban 5 said they would hold demonstrations worldwide against Posada, beginning on May 11th Gloria La Riva is with the National Committee to Free the Cuban 5(roll tape#1 o.q."in Venezuela") That's Gloria La Riva, an activist with the National Committee to Free the Cuban 5.
That group will protesting Luis Posada Carilles when he next goes before a judge next month… That will take place iin front of the Courthouse in El Paso on May 11th….For more information, you can go to freethefive.orgcomments powered by Disqus

Electronic Arts has laid off employees in Los Angeles and Montreal, and reportedly shuttered the Visceral Montreal studio.
The publisher refused to specify which studios were being closed down but the rumor, cited by multiple sources, is that the Montreal office of Dead Space studio Visceral Games has been closed entirely.
Dead Space's three games cycle was over, it's their usual strategy
1st game - good, get hype for next game
2nd game - average, lower budget, sell it based on brand recognition from the first game
3rd game - doggydoo, copy paste, add explosions, no budget, short development time, sell it to the people who still believed and now crush all their hopes
shutdown studio
wonder if bioware will still be around after Dragon Age 3

Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir has announced a new political and economic revival and called on the opposition and rebels trying to topple his government to participate.
In a speech Monday, Bashir said peace would be the cornerstone of this reawakening because "no development, political or economic, can come without peace."
But, Khalid Tigani, one of 10 Islamist scholars who recently formed the Movement for Change, said the Sudanese want to hear concrete steps, not just empty promises.
Tigani said Bashir should call for a national dialogue to address issues, including freedom of political association and speech. He said Bashir is trying to lay the groundwork for his re-election next year.
But, Sudan's Minister of information, Ahmed Bilal, says Bashir's invitation is genuine.
"Actually, the main theme of his speech was that he was asking all the people of Sudan to go for a national dialogue and reconciliation. Even those who are killing with weapons, he is asking them to join in this dialogue for political reform, economic reform, and poverty alleviation," Bilal said.
He said the seriousness of Bashir's speech was seen in the number of opposition people who attended it.
Bilal said the government will devote enough time to the national dialogue, which would focus on a new constitution, elections and eventually a transitional government to carry out the mandate of the dialogue.
But, Tigani, one of 10 Islamist scholars who recently formed the Movement for Change, said Sudanese want to hear concrete proposals from Bashir, not just empty promises.
"Actually, he is saying nothing new. People were waiting to see action, not just new promises. He has been president of Sudan for 25 years without doing anything. Actually, he's not saying what we were waiting to hear from him," Tigani said.
Tigani said on the same day of Bashir's speech, the government closed down another newspaper, something he says speaks volumes about media freedom in Sudan.
"How can you (Bashir) ask people to come and talk and then you are closing down a newspaper and not making people express their views. So, I think that this is not a real thing," he saud.
Tigani said Bashir should have talked more about freedom of political association and freedom of the media.
"We want him to call for a new economic and political era by taking a new decision regarding freedom of political activities and also calling for a genuine national dialogue about all issues concerning all Sudanese. So, I think he's not actually showing any interest in seeing a new chapter in the political arena of Sudan," he said.
Tigani describes Bashir's offer to step down after next year's election as simply playing re-election politics.
Bilal, however, said Bashir is serious about his proposal and not interested in re-election politics.

OpenTable has acquired Foodspotting, a mobile app that posts photos of restaurant food, like this pizza at Luisa's Brick Oven pizza restaurant in Charlotte, N.C. Foodspotting
"We'll say, 'That shot will look so much better on the marble table in our kitchen'," Mr. Bouley said. "It's like, here's the sauce, here's the plate. Snap it. We make it like an adventure for them instead of telling them no."
The Ohio-based startup Venueseen has seized on the foodie photo-snapping craze by offering restaurants the ability to bring photos that diners share via social media sites such as Twitter onto their own platforms as a marketing maneuver. The consensus seems to be that if there's going to be an abundance of chefs in the kitchen, the best move restaurants can make is to capitalize on them.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Gluten-Free Poutine
April 9, 2012
Most of the time poutine is annoyingly gluten-filled. You wouldn't think so, since it's just fries, gravy and cheese curds. Yet I've been unable to find a restaurant that serves gluten-free poutine. There are usually one or two gluten culprits at play, either the gravy contains wheat flour or the fries are made in fryers that are shared with gluten-containing foods; sometimes it's both. So when I recently got the taste for poutine, I headed into the kitchen instead of into a restaurant.
Gluten-Free Poutine
Ingredient Note:
To serve your poutine nice and hot, this flow works well:
For the Gravy
For the French Fries
1 recipe homemade French Fries (I really like the one from Brown Eyed Baker!) or 4 servings frozen french fries
8 ounces cheese curds

Taylor Swift channeled Beyonce for her performance on Wednesday night at the BRIT Awards, wearing a sexy black leather and lace outfit on stage. But how was the performance? "Great! She always puts on a good show," according to Harry Styles, the ex-boyfriend she knew was trouble, and the same guy she refused to make eye contact with at the event.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart haven't been able to spend much time together lately. That's probably because Pattinson is currently filming a movie in Australia, while Stewart is in L.A. getting ready to present at the upcoming Oscars. Or, is there more to this story? A source close to the couple says they've been asked to hold off on announcing a break up until after DVD's for Breaking Dawn Part 2 sell out.
Executives are trying to bank as much as they can on the Twilight series that has finally come to an end, and believe hints of any trouble in paradise between the couple will cause a decrease in sales.
The never ending saga between LeAnn Rimes and Brandi Glanville is all over the internet, and there's a good chance it'll soon take over your television. At least that's what producers for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are hoping for.
The show is looking for new cast members. So far Glanville and Lisa Vanderpump are the only cast members who are guaranteed to be coming back for a new season, and what better way to keep the drama going then to invite Glanville's number one enemy to join the ensemble. She's already been approached several times by producers, but she's not biting.

I need a real world example where fractions were used to solve a problem, and how the fraction was used.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Suppose you have one brother and one sister. Your father wants to divide his property among you. So you can say your father wishes to divide his property into three parts.
The property is considered as one unit and one third to you, one third to your brother, and one third to your sister. You know (1/3) is a fraction.
Now check
This is one of the real applications of fractions.

Just reading through Intellisync's press release on operating results. Seems they had a real good quarter, and a real good year. Further down in the notes, I noticed a blurb that said Intellisync acquired PDAapps, Inc., makers of VeriChat, the mobile instant messaging solution for all Palm OS devices, Pocket PC devices, Symbian devices and RIM Blackberry devices.
Never heard of PDAapps or VeriChat? It is one of my "must have" apps for my Pocket PC. I use it to connect to all of my IM clients with ONE client. No need to launch three or four separate applications. It's a great app if you need to "chat" with your PDA. Just wondering what the impact of this will be for PDAapps. They currently charge a yearly fee for Verichat. $24.95 the first year, $19.95 every year thereafter. Yes, I know, a little pricey but one of those must have's that I can't do without. Hopefully Intellisync will change the pricing model.
