Michel 'Sweet Micky' Martelly advances in Haiti election over president's pick
Amid pressure from international observers, Haiti's election commission advanced singer Michel 'Sweet Micky' Martelly into a runoff vote for the presidency against former First Lady Mirlande Manigat.

Singer Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly is in. Government party candidate Jude Célestin is out.
The months-overdue announcement Thursday morning from Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) about who will advance to an election runoff for the presidency broke an electoral impasse that had gripped the country since Nov. 28, when Haitians went to polls in the first-round of voting.
But election observers caution that the road ahead still looks rocky.
"I'm not confident that just finalizing the results from the first round will bring stability to the country," says Robert Fatton, a University of Virginia professor who studies Haiti. "The first round was clearly fraudulent. What's to say that the second round will be any better?"
Mr. Martelly and former First Lady Mirlande Manigat will now face off in second-round presidential voting on March 20.
Allegations of vote fraud
The announcement comes during a complex period in Haiti's post-earthquake political landscape that began with the disputed first-round vote. That day of voting ended in violent demonstrations in Port-au-Prince after 12 of the 19 presidential candidates – including Martelly and Ms. Manigat – called for the election to be annulled due to fraud.
Initial poll results from the CEP had placed Mr. Célestin, who was endorsed by President René Préval, ahead of Martelly by a margin of less than 1 percent of the vote, with Ms. Manigat firmly in the lead.
A team from the Organization of American States (OAS) analyzed a sample of ballots and suggested Martelly, not CĂ©lestin, compete in the run-off election.
The OAS findings were backed by the international community and pushed by the US. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Haiti on Sunday to urge Mr. Préval and the candidates to accept the report's findings. President Préval had initially balked at the OAS recommendation, but under international pressure, his INITE (Unity) party released a statement last week urging Célestin to step aside.
'Sweet Micky' has popular support
Martelly, known as "Sweet Micky," was a colorful kompas musician before turning to politics. His profile as a singer won him support in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's toppled capital. He also received an endorsement from Pras Michel, a Haitian rapper and former member of band The Fugees with Wyclef Jean, who also sought to run for the presidency.
Stevenson Lafond, a 27-year-old voter, recently told the Monitor that he wanted to see a new face in office. "'Sweet Micky' isn't a politician. He comes from outside politics and we've had enough politicians as president. They haven't done much for us," he says. "Why not give someone from outside a chance?"
That sentiment may play against former First Lady Manigat. A respected career academic, Ms. Manigat "may have a difficult time as president because she does not have a real base in Haitian politics, including in parliament," says Yves Colon, a Haitian-born professor at the University of Miami.
"Martelly can probably produce more people, more of a base than Manigat, but it's going to be difficult for either of them because INITE [Préval's political party] will still be powerful," Professor Colon says.
Calls for election results to be annulled
A steady, but often ignored, drumbeat calling for the election to be canceled and held anew has persisted.
Last month, the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank in Washington, said its own analysis found "it was not possible to name the top two vote getters" and "suggested holding the election anew."
On Tuesday, the US Congressional Black Caucus released a statement urging "the United States and the international community to uphold the ideals of fairness and support a new Haiti election process that is free and fair, respecting the rights of the Haitian people."
Baby Doc and Aristide
Amid the tension around the elections, former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier shocked the country when he returned from exile in France last month. Mr. Duvalier, who says he returned to help the Haitian people, now faces charges ranging from corruption to torture dating to his rule of Haiti from 1971 to 1986.
Duvalier's return sparked rumors that former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide would attempt to follow suit. That's exactly what's happened. Mr. Aristide, who fled after an uprising in 2004 and has been living in South Africa, applied for a diplomatic passport to return to the earthquake-torn country.
In a letter, his Miami-based attorney Ira Kurtzban asked the Foreign Affairs and Interior ministries to expedite the passport and for Haiti to begin talks with South Africa to facilitate Aristide's return.
Haitian authorities said they would process the passport request, potentially opening the door for Aristide's eventual return.

Once you've decided to hire a personal trainer, how do you know you've found a good one? Great question.
Once you find a good hair stylist, you're set, but if you get a bad one…ugh. It's a little bit like that with a trainer. The best way to find a good one is to ask around—word of mouth is a great way to find someone great. However, you should also talk to a few trainers and ask some questions of your own. You may not know anyone who has hired a trainer so word of mouth may not be a viable option.
Here's how you find a good one.
How many questions does the trainer ask that have nothing to do with fitness directly?
A good trainer will want to know about much more than your fitness goals. If you talk to one and they ask you about your attitudes and opinions about exercise, your work schedule, family commitments, your history of stopping and starting exercise, etc., you've probably found a great trainer. Why?
Great trainers realize that the workout program they create is the easy part. Any trainer can make a half-way decent workout program for most people. The real measure of fitness success is in your ability to adopt behaviors that become part of you. To make changes that last, a trainer must know the obstacles and opportunities for exercise in your schedule and all of the many non-workout factors that will determine your ability to absorb a fitness routine into your daily life.
Does the trainer teach you movement or just exercises?
This one might not be so obvious from your first conversation, but you can either ask directly or listen for how the trainer describes what they do. As my friend and fellow ACE consultant Chris McGrath says, "Exercise is optional; movement is essential." Everyone moves, even if they don't exercise. Thus, a good life starts with a foundation of quality movement when you're doing chores, playing with your kids, walking the dog, putting away groceries and all the various tasks of daily life.
Perhaps more importantly, though, quality movement allows for exercise at an appropriate intensity that will stress your muscles (which is what you want) and not your joints. With the increased popularity of high-intensity training, trainers who don't want to become good at teaching movement need to look for a different line of work. We use ACE's Integrated Fitness TrainingTM (ACE IFTTM) Model to teach our fitness professionals how to teach movement-based exercise.
How can you tell if a trainer focuses on movement quality? Here's a big clue: When they describe what they do, they explain that they will first determine what your body is capable of given any current or previous injuries or limitations you may have. Regardless off how they describe it, the trainer you hire should care about how you move your body—both during and outside of the exercise session. Alternatively, you can ask them directly. For example, you could ask, "How will you address any specific joint issues I may have?"
Do you get a good workout at the first session?
I hope not. A terrible trainer puts people through hard workouts at the first session. A great trainer needs to get to know the people behind the programs they create—that's what makes the training personal. Until I see you move and can gauge your response—both physically and mentally—to certain movements, it is impossible for me to create an effective program that will get you the results you want.
During the first session, a quality trainer might teach you movement skills or exercise technique, or address specific issues you may have, but they cannot possibly have a full workout ready to go until they spend some time with you in person. Hard workouts are easy to find and trainers that can deliver hard workouts are a dime a dozen. Any trainer who boasts of making clients sore for days is to be unequivocally avoided—they don't know exercise, they only know intensity.
Ask around, or ask the trainer you are considering these questions. Better yet, why not do both? A trainer-client relationship is a very personal one and you want to know that you are wisely investing your body, your time and your money into working with a competent, caring professional, one who helps you find the right starting point to fitness and helps you progress at the right pace to keep you engaged mentally and appropriately challenged physically.

Focus: Linux on the Desktop
It has long been agreed that for Linux to succeed in a business environment, it needed to have a user friendly desktop that competed with MS Windows and the Macintosh, and included all the usual applications for the office. Today we have two desktops being developed for Linux: KDE and GNOME, with KDE having a bit of a head start. Both have their supporters and both are in active development by team members. Reports from those teams tell us just what each is up to and where they are headed in order to make our job of choosing one or the other easier.
Linux Journal's publisher, Phil Hughes, feels GNOME should be dropped in favor of getting KDE to the finish line. I feel differently. One of the pluses of the Open Source movement is that we have options. We're not stuck with an environment unsuited to our purposes just because it happens to have a stranglehold on the market. Both of these desktops look good and both have made a good deal of progress toward that finish line. Let's support both and offer the world a choice.
Applications are presently another area of choice—isn't it wonderful that so many are appearing each day? Two office suites have been available to the Linux user for some time now: Applixware and StarOffice. This issue, our Technical Editor and product reviewer Jason Kroll looks at these two products. Next month he will review the spreadsheet XESS. Let him help you make the decision about which product is best suited for your office.
Even with window managers, we get choices. Michael Hammel begins a new series in this issue to tell us about them from an artistic perspective.
Choices—don't you love them? I do.

The Red Wings' Twitter account and Facebook page went into overdrive overnight as EA Sports revealed that the race is neck-and-neck between Pavel Datsyuk and John Tavares as the last day of voting in the players' showdown in EA Sports' NHL 13 cover athlete semifinals is taking place, so, fellow Wings fans, it's time to vote early and vote often to push the only real-life video game player over the top today.

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

School Hours:Elementary school hours are from 9:05 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. Staff is on duty on the school playground beginning at 8:45 a.m. each school day. We ask that non-bus students do not arrive at school before that time, as no adult supervision is available. Parents, we ask for your help in this effort to have children leave home at an appropriate time to gauge their arrival at school. As childrent arrive at school, they are to proceed to the playground until the first bell rings at 8:55 am. At this time, students are allowed in the building and are to proceed to their lockers and prepare for class. Only cadets or those students eating school breakfast should be entering the building prior to the 8:55 am bell. If it is necessary to speak with a teacher prior to school, we ask that parents first come to the office, sign in and take a visitors badge. We thank all parents for their cooperation with this request as it allows our teachers to properly prepare their lessons and classrooms for the day. Please also feel free to contact teachers via email to arrange times to meet, if the need arises.
Children who ride buses are expected to return home on the bus, unless a written note fromtheir parent/guardian explaining a change of routine accompanies the child.
