WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - It's been like a game of cat and mouse since Tuesday night when it was learned that Paula Broadwell was staying with her brother at his home in Northwest D.C.
At around 5 a.m. Wednesday, the long distance runner gave the photographers the slip as she set out on for a morning run.
"It's just crazy. It's like a small big town," commented a woman walking by the stakeout at Paula Broadwell's brother's home. It includes about a dozen photojournalists from the major news organizations.
"I thought it was a movie set," said neighbor Vedoster Ingram.
Some photographers are on the sidewalk in the front of the stately yellow house and some are in the public alleyway behind the home. That's where we met Mary Scarpa walking her dog Barry. People refer to the two as the 'other Marion Barry.'
"I just found out that you all are here and that the big yellow house now has an infamous history," she said.
Last night the photographers who took pictures of Broadwell through a window in the kitchen say that she had to have known they were there and even looked as though she was posing at times as she sipped wine.
"You have to do something. It's a lot to process. There's no such things as a private life," said a passerby.
The Mt. Pleasant home and the people in its past have made history, which led to changes in equality.
1841 Park Road has been in the news before. In the 1920s, Dr. Robert Deane bought the home. He was the first African American to move into Mount Pleasant and he broke the color covenants.
Now the concern is on the national security level and it's not just neighbors who are wondering what secrets Paula Broadwell may be hiding.

Associated Press Release
ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Kandi Cash walked through the debris of her grandparents' demolished house in north Georgia, hoping to salvage family keepsakes after violent storms raked the Southeast, leaving two dead.
The house was one of many in the Georgia city of Adairsville splintered by a massive storm front that tore across several states Wednesday, unleashing tornadoes and dangerous winds that flipped cars and destroyed homes and businesses.
Authorities say falling trees claimed two lives: a man killed in Tennessee while taking shelter in a shed and another man crushed in his bed in Georgia.
The storm front sprang out of the Midwest on Tuesday and also knocked out power to thousands. There were several reports of tornadoes. Early Thursday, parts of Virginia remained under tornado watches as the storm headed toward the Atlantic.

Todays "huge awesome fighting machine" post comes via the good ol' Enlishrussia blog. They post great pictures of awesome Soviet era stuff, but it's a bit disappointing that their descriptions tend to be between uninformative and completely fictional. This time the subject is a huge Soviet plane from the 30′s. About this they say:
…modern history lovers in Russia try to reconstruct according the plans left in once to be top-secret Russian army archives their look in full color. This is one example based on ideas of Russian aviation engineers of that times.
In reality it was a Russian 3D modeler by the name of Levin who modeled the huge warplane that might exist in some parallel universe where history turned out more like pulp scifi. I don't speak any Russian so I have no idea if there are secret plans or if it's just made up, but it doesn't take away the fact that it looks great. And he made it even better and gave us a couple of pictures of the plane battling his older Nazi UFO model (Haunebu III to be exact – the same design you see in the Iron Sky teaser).
Talking of this Levin guy, you should also check out his airship model – it's another awesome steampunkish creation:

While your nose is often considered as the most prominent feature of your face, the lips and the eyes are the facets that get the attention of others who are speaking to you or listening to what you have to say. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to apply quality cosmetics during your efforts to enhance your facial appearance. While sometimes you may choose a lip product based solely upon the color that it offers, there are times when you may decide to choose one based upon its unique capabilities. Lip products can moisturize, plump, protect, and color.
So, if you are interested in a lip product that can deliver intense color without the need to constantly reapply it, you should consider the benefit of a lip stain. Designed to last longer simply because they act as dyes, DuWop Lip Stains provide longevity or staying power.
In addition to staining your lips with brilliant color, DuWop Lip Stains have been designed to plump them up for a fuller look. DuWop Lip Stains are 100% natural too!
A number of different types of beauty products are available for your lips including glosses, lipsticks, plumpers, liners, colors, and stains. When an occasion arises that requires a lip color with long-lasting staying power, consider the benefit of a lip stain. DuWop Lip Stains provide color for your lips without drying them out. Whether you choose the deep, rich color of Pure Berry or the more subtle shading of Pure Nude, either product can be enhanced with the application of lip gloss, adding a welcoming bit of shimmer. DuWop Lip Stains are based upon the famous Lip Venom blending of ingredients, so you know they are fully capable of delivering plumping benefits to your lips.
Offering a higher concentration of natural ingredients over harsh chemicals, DuWop Pure Venom Pure Berry Lip Stain is gentle on the skin. Infused with high-performing natural botanicals, this stain plumps the lips through an organic version of the original Lip Venom formula. Designed to offer a soothing sensation, it conditions the lips as it plumps them up to a fuller appearance. Packaged in an earth-friendly tin, this product is perfect in every way – from its long-lasting staining capability to its earth-friendly ingredients.

As it covers your lips with its pure nude coloring, it moisturizes your lips rather than drying them out.

Protecting your rights after Sandy
(Page 2 of 2)
According to the terms of FEMA flood policies, and many homeowners' policies, if the homeowner and the insurer fail to agree on the actual cash value and/or replacement cost of the damaged property, the homeowner may demand an "Appraisal of the Loss." The Appraisal is similar to a formal arbitration proceeding; the homeowner and the insurance company are represented by attorneys.
Each side submits a report from a competent expert to support their position. Both sides jointly choose an umpire to hear the case, or, if they can't agree on whom to choose, the Court will appoint the umpire. The Appraisal proceeds with testimony, cross examination, and further written submissions to argue the claim.
If there is a total denial of coverage, Litigation is sometimes another option. Since FEMA is a U.S. government agency, flood policy arbitration must go to Federal Court, which is more expensive and time consuming than the Appraisal process. Litigation for homeowners' insurance claims is often brought to State Court.
The firm, when representing homeowners in Appraisals (arbitrations), will be compensated (paid) according to a contingent fee arrangement that is taken out of the final Appraisal award (money received from the claim). They are also reimbursed for any expenses, costs or fees that have been advanced on the client's behalf.
The Law Offices of Elliot J. Blumenthal offers telephone consultations to homeowners who disagree with the outcome of their insurance claims, be it flood, homeowners, or both. One of the attorneys will discuss your claim to determine the next steps.

Fla. fugitive caught after 26 years on lam
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 1:48 p.m.
MIAMI — A banker and attorney on the run for 26 years after his conviction in a major South Florida marijuana smuggling case has been captured in Mexico.
The U.S. Marshals Service reported Thursday that 61-year-old Manuel Lopez-Castro was arrested this week in Cancun, Mexico, and is back in Miami to face justice. Lopez-Castro fled in 1986 rather than show up at a Florida prison to begin serving a 27-year sentence for marijuana smuggling and other convictions.
Authorities say Lopez-Castro was captured after officers including Mexican Federal Police did a staged traffic stop. It's believed he lived in Spain, Costa Rica, Argentina, Venezuela and Panama before settling in Mexico.
Lopez-Castro was part of a pot smuggling ring responsible for importing some 600,000 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. from 1977 to 1984.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- DC women are dancing off pounds and inches with ZUMBA a hot new fitness craze taking over the city.
General Manager of CRUNCH tells us, "There's so much activity. It's one of those things no matter what your age, your gender you can really let loose and have a great time,"
There's another benefit to all that sweat equity. Zumba's aerobic workout can help a woman lower her risk for breast cancer.
Dr. Priscilla Furth of Georgetown University is a professor of oncology & medicine. She also runs the physical fitness and metabolism clinic at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center for breast cancer patients, survivors and those at risk.
"Exercise can help perhaps reduce your risk of developing breast cancer or if you already have breast cancer, it can actually help you recover and might even delay recurrence," Dr. Furth says.
Despite the proven benefits, exercise isn't a priority for some Latinas even though breast cancer death rates are highest in this group. Barriers to early detection are complicated says Larisa Caicedo, Executive Director of Nueva Vida, a national support network for Latinas with cancer.
"Because of the language barrier it's tough to get services if they don't know where services are or because they're uninsured and many other socio-economic barriers," Larisa tells us.
To break through the barriers to exercise, Nueva Vida, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, is sponsoring its first annual ZUMBATHON. It will be a morning of fun and fitness to a familiar Latin beat. There'll even be a bilingual health fair on site.
Lina Perez with Nueva Vida tells us, "We're going to be giving free check-ups for blood tests and vision and sugar tests. We will also have a kid's zone, a Zumba kid's zone. It's going be a lot of fun for everybody who comes."
ZUMBA is just one of many different types of aerobic exercises available. The key is choosing one that you like so that you'll stick with it.
The Zumbathon is Saturday, September 17th at the Maret School on Cathedral Avenue in NW from 8AM to 12:30PM.

Why is "vier" in the beginning of "vierzehn" [ˈfɪrʦeːn] not pronounced the same as the standalone "vier" [fiːɐ]?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

This is a very good question. I can only state assumptions. I think it evolved as a quirk because it's easier to pronounce. For example, the word 'fünfzehn' (15) is sometimes pronounced 'fuffzehn', and the word 'zwanzig' (20) is sometimes pronounced 'zwanzich' (very common in northern Germany).
Try to slowly pronounce the word 'vier' with a long 'i' and after that, pronounce it with a short 'i'. You will notice that the long 'i' sound takes considerably more effort to produce. For a clear, long 'i' sound, you have to open your mouth quite a bit, while for the short 'i' sound, it can stay shut. As Hackworth stated, it rolls easier off the tongue.
The interesting thing with 'vierzehn' is that its pronunciation quirk (the short 'i') is actually made official - dictionaries list it as the only correct pronunciation.
The word 'siebzehn' (17) is another interesting example. Myself and everyone I know pronounce it with a short 'i' sound as well, just like 'vierzehn'. But in contrast to 'vierzehn', dictionaries list 'siebzehn' as pronounced with a long 'i'. You see, there are quite some inconsistencies.
I can not read this pronunciation language, but they are pronounced exatcly the same. If you are speaking very fast and not very clear vier might be a little clearer than vierzehn.
I want to add, as a complement to Martin H.'s answer, where the pronunciation of 15 is evoked, the following map from the Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache
You can pronounce the beginning the same like four if you have not been understood the first time. Then you'd just say vier - zehn. But if you pronounce it in one word firzehn. The whole word sounds more balanced to me. Also I have a hard time pronouncing zehn after saying vier like if vier was standalone. There is just not enough air left. So I have to shorten the vier to get the ten out with enough pressure. Which alters the pronunciation of the syllable vier.
This would be a case of time-travel. The future is influencing the present in a way. ;)

Picture Perfect with a 1933 Ford CoupeWritten by on February 28, 2005 John and Jenn Foxley's '33 Ford Coupe
The small swap meet had some unusual merchandise, like this oddly chopped '34 Ford coupe. The former race car had a filled rear window, extensively louvered decklid, and needed a great deal of work. The STP decals were in pretty good shape.
That photo caption was part of our report on the NSRA Northwest Nationals in Spokane, Washington, in the August 2000 issue of R&C.
John Foxley happened to be at the same event and happened to run across the same coupe. Where we saw an odd-looking lost cause, John saw a real prize. "I had to have it," he told us. We're glad John was able to see what the coupe could be, because what the coupe has become is pretty cool.
The story behind the car is cool, too. The old '33 (turns out it's a '33) was originally built as a racecar. Between 1949 and 1954, the coupe ran on the dry lakes and at the Bonneville salt flats as a flathead-powered rear-engine car. Air intake ducts and exhaust cutouts on the rear quarters were added during those early days. The body had been trimmed to reduce weight; all inner door panels, jambs, and bracing were stripped, and electrical conduit was added as a bare minimum structural support to keep the coupe strong enough to race. After 1954, the car was disassembled and stored in various places, until it finally surfaced at the swap meet in Spokane.
John had to rent a U-Haul trailer to lug the coupe home. Once back in Vancouver, Canada, he and his wife Jennifer began the 3-year buildup, starting with the chassis and floorpan and continuing with the body.
During its racing days, the coupe was treated to a radical chop. John "unchopped" the top 6 inches, raising it to slightly more than 4 inches under stock height. He then re-installed a rear window. The car now runs a more conventional powertrain--a 350/350 engine/trans combo.
One of the most distinctive things about the '33 is found on the inside. To honor its athletic early days, the door panels and headliner were decorated with images of Bonneville and lakes cars.
John, who makes a living creating signs, scanned some of his favorite old photos, and Jennifer printed the pictures on a large-format ink printer and those images were added to the interior.
The day after the car was finished, John and Jennifer drove it back down to Washington and picked up a prize for Magnificent Model 40 at the Goodguys Pacific Northwest Nats. A month later, John had the coupe back in Spokane for a triumphant return to the Northwest Nats, 5 years after he'd dragged it out of the same event. Wonder how many people recognized the winner of the Texaco Havoline Pick as the "unusual merchandise" it once was.
John & Jenn Foxley
Maple Ridge, British Columbia
'33 Ford Three-Window Coupe
Drivetrain: The valve covers might fool you, but it's really an 11.0:1 350 Chevy from an '81 Corvette. John added 1 1/4-inch spacers between the '56 Canadian Pontiac valve covers and Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads for roller rocker clearance, and runs an Edelbrock manifold with six Rochester 2CG two-barrels. The Turbo 350 trans is from an '85 Chevy pickup, modified with a shift-kit, and 3.55:1 rear gears fill a Ford 9-inch.
Chassis: The stock rails were boxed by the owner, and strengthened with a homebuilt crossmember and custom dropped front crossmember. Other front-end mods include a 4-inch dropped tube axle, shocks, and four-bar from Pete & Jakes, reverse-eye springs, '41 Ford spindles, '76 Chevy brakes, and a Vega steering box. In the back, it's Pete & Jakes shocks and '59 Ford drums.
Wheels & Tires: Big 'n' littles are 8.20x15 MT Radir dragster slicks with cheater grooves rolling on 15x8 Wheel Vintiques chrome steelies and skinny Coker wide whites on 15x5s with Moon spider caps.
Body & Paint: In addition to getting unchopped by 6 inches, the top was lengthened 4. The rear window was added, and the window section chopped 3 inches. John restored a '34 grille, and cut the front fender braces for tire clearance. The stock firewall was recessed 4 inches. The trunk louvers were cut circa 1949. Painter Scott Martelli shot the '04 Nissan copper paint. John and Jenn designed the ghost flame layout, which was digitized and computer-cut, and shot in candy red. The checker pattern on the firewall was created from computer-cut vinyl.
Interior: John chopped the base of the center bench from a Mazda MPV van and covered the seat with white vinyl. An Auto Meter gauge cluster and tach were added to the dropped and filled dash, behind a 15-inch Moon slotted steering wheel. No air or stereo on this hot rod. Just some unique photo-graphics of old lakes cars, and--on the center of the dash--an autograph from actor Paul LeMat, who drove a cool coupe of his own as John Milner in American Graffiti.

NEW YORK (AP) - Navy and Air Force are the top choices for Big East expansion, but as football-only members, a person with knowledge of the discussions tells The Associated Press
The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Wednesday because the conference does not want to publicly disclose its plans.
Navy is an independent and Air Force plays in the Mountain West Conference. East Carolina of Conference USA announced on Wednesday it has applied for membership in the Big East.
The Big East is regrouping after Syracuse and Pittsburgh joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Leaders from the Big East football schools and TCU, which is to enter the league in 2012, met with Commissioner John Marinatto in Manhattan on Tuesday night. All the league's members, including the eight nonfootball-playing schools, committed to recruit new members.
But the league's status is still less than stable, especially with another piece of the realignment puzzle missing.
Once Texas A&M makes a clean break from the Big 12, the SEC will be at 13 teams, and likely looking for No. 14. Missouri seemed a candidate, but Big 12 officials are working to save that league.
There has been speculation the SEC could have West Virginia of the Big East as a target to be the 14th school.
"As I stated before, WVU is an excellent flagship, land-grant University, with national-caliber athletic and academic programs," West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck said in a statement Wednesday. "We are, and will remain, a national player in college athletics."
There also has to be concern in the Big East that the ACC could come back for more of its members.
UConn and Rutgers would allow the ACC to expand even farther north and give Pitt, Syracuse and Boston College, which the league plucked from the Big East in 2003, two more local rivals.
Multiple officials at Connecticut said the school has not committed to staying in the Big East Conference and continues to look at other conference options. The officials asked that their names not be used because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations.

Senators, Congressmen, I am pleased to have the opportunity to report to you today on the Administration's views concerning the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
I want to provide you today with an assessment of where we see the OSCE going. To do that, I would like to develop three themes. First, I want to elaborate on the importance of the OSCE to the United States as a resource to advance our core foreign policy objectives of (a) promoting democratic development and respect for human rights throughout Europe and Eurasia, (b) resolving conflicts, and (c) assisting states in addressing complex threats to security and stability, such as those posed by international terrorism. Second, I want to highlight a few significant accomplishments, resulting in great part to U.S. leadership, of the OSCE in 2003, and how we will build on that in 2004. And finally, I want to sketch out for you the Administration's vision for the OSCE and how, with the Helsinki Commission and the welcome support of the Congress, we can continue to exercise our influence to keep the OSCE engaged on issues of vital concern (such as human rights, including religious freedom) while at the same time working to develop greater cooperation with OSCE participating States in the economic and political-military security dimensions.
What the OSCE Does for the U.S.
Let me offer three reasons why we attach great value to the OSCE. First, it is a "can-do" organization. Its solid performance and its unique strengths, among them its field presences in 18 countries and its Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the High Commissioner on National Minorities and the Representative on the Freedom of the Media justify this reputation.
Second, the OSCE helps us to pursue our goals of strengthening democratic governance and effective civil institutions in countries throughout Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Caucasus and Central Asia, where multilateral approaches are often the most effective and efficient way to offer assistance.
And finally, the authority and respect OSCE enjoys from participating states and partners enables it to do the necessary and often unappreciated work that does not make headlines, but which is essential for peace and stability. In doing so, it makes a contribution to security for the people of Europe and Eurasia, and the people of the United States.
Significant Accomplishments at OSCE this Year
Let me turn to a description of three major OSCE accomplishments in 2003. I first want to pay tribute to The Netherlands and to this year's Chairman in Office (CiO), Foreign Minister De Hoop Scheffer. The Dutch Chairmanship is providing dynamic leadership for the OSCE. From early January, when the Chair outlined its priorities, we have worked together very closely and productively.
Tackling Anti-Semitism, Racism and Xenophobia
The OSCE Conference on Anti-Semitism, which took place in June in Vienna, demonstrated that the OSCE could mobilize to respond to a pressing concern. Indeed, the Helsinki Commission last year raised the increase in anti-Semitic violence in the OSCE region and suggested that the OSCE might play a role in addressing this issue. With the support of the Commission, the Administration succeeded in building consensus for the anti-Semitism meeting in Vienna. Under the leadership of our Ambassador to the OSCE, Stephan Minikes, and the U.S. head of delegation, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the conference raised awareness of this problem and identified possible follow-up action by participating States, including passage of hate crime legislation, compilation of statistics on hate crimes and analysis of that data. The Vienna conference focused on practical measures governments, legislatures, and civil society can take to counter a recent increase in anti-Semitic violence and behavior in the OSCE region. It defined anti-Semitism as a human rights issue and emphasized the need for appropriate law enforcement, legislation and prosecution. No international organization had previously treated anti-Semitism as a human rights matter or committed to a regular review process. We appreciate Germany's offer to host a follow-on conference in Berlin in 2004. Our goal at the December ministerial is to gain the support of all OSCE members to grant full OSCE status to the Berlin meeting, in the same way that status was accorded to the Vienna meeting. We will work to keep the OSCE focussed on anti-Semitism and would welcome the Commission's help to make the case to parliamentarians from other participating States, and to support follow through on conference
Last week the OSCE also held a conference on Racism/Xenophobia. The U.S. delegation was led by former Congressman J.C. Watts. We were pleased that the conference identified specific areas in which OSCE participating states should concentrate efforts to address problems, including public opinion and the media, inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue and the development of civic tolerance building programs.
Annual Security Review Conference
During my testimony last year, I explained that the U.S. had launched a major initiative to establish an OSCE Annual Security Review Conference, or "ASRC." The first ASRC, held in late June, was a success in terms of promoting dialogue and serious discussion of collective efforts on such matters as travel document security, an idea proposed by the U.S., as well as ammunition stockpile security and destruction, and enhanced export controls on man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). We intend to follow up on this idea aggressively. Were 55 countries to agree to upgrade standards for travel documents, it would constitute a significant step toward further enhancing U.S. security and security of our partners. The U.S. invested considerable time and effort into creation of the ASRC, and we are already reaping the benefits. The conference generated the practical ideas noted above for improving security cooperation, as well as appreciation from OSCE states for our efforts to strengthen the OSCE's ability to help them cope with such security threats as terrorism.
OSCE Action Plan on Trafficking-in-Persons
Trafficking was very appropriately identified by the Dutch Chairmanship as a key focus of the OSCE for 2003. In February 2003, the OSCE held an international seminar on the National and International Economic Impact of Trafficking in Human Beings in Ioannina, Greece. In May, the Economic Forum was devoted to the national and international economic impact of trafficking in human beings, drugs and small arms and light weapons. The adoption of an Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings by the OSCE participating States on July 24 is a major event. Through this Plan, the OSCE is piloting an innovative and important new initiative, the national referral mechanism. The Plan aims at providing participating States with a comprehensive toolkit to help them implement their commitments to combating trafficking in human beings, and calls for more effective co-operation between the OSCE and other relevant international actors, such as the United Nations. As to how the OSCE should marshal its own resources to do so, this needs to be studied, to ensure coordination and avoid overlap of duties. The Stability Pact Task Force on Trafficking in Human
Beings works under the auspices of the OSCE, and through their joint efforts the SEE region has become a global leader in intergovernmental coordination
on combating trafficking. The OSCE efforts complement our own bilateral efforts against human trafficking in the region, and we see some results, particularly in Bosnia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, among others.
Where is the OSCE Headed?
Let me turn to our priorities for the OSCE in the short-term -- from now through the Maastricht ministerial December 1-2.
Run-Up to Maastricht
First, a word about a special opportunity the U.S. will have to shape the OSCE's security agenda in the run-up to this year's ministerial. In line with the normal rotation of responsibility, the U.S. assumed the Chairmanship of the Forum for Security Cooperation on September 1. We have taken the chair at a time when cooperation and coordination between the Permanent Council (PC) and Forum for Security Cooperation (FSC) are good and improving. We intend to work within the FSC to consider how the OSCE can help address, first, growing problems of ammunition and weapons stockpile security, and better accounting, and second, control of Man-portable Air Defense Systems, i.e. ground to air missiles capable of bringing down military or civilian aircraft. Both issues have real relevance and security implications for many states, including the U.S.
As for our broader objectives, the U.S. is actively involved in shaping the substance of the ministerial. We are working to ensure that at Maastricht OSCE states will constructively address the following issues:
How the OSCE can better address threats to security and stability in the 21st century. This project originated at the Bucharest Ministerial when, following the September 11 attacks, Ministers wanted a review of how the OSCE might adapt itself to help states more effectively cope with complex threats. The United States and Russia accepted a tasking from the Portuguese Chairmanship in 2002 to launch this review process with a paper outlining how the OSCE's Permanent Council, Forum for Security Cooperation, and the Chairmanship, and its field presences, institutions, and Secretariat could better coordinate to maximize the efficiency of its resources. The outline we jointly produced with Russia was endorsed at the Porto Ministerial as the basis for the work that has been ongoing this year.
Taking OSCE's strengths, namely its expertise in the areas of democratization, human rights policing and training, and its field presences and institutions, we and many of our partners are drawing on these strengths, and bringing them to bear in the context of international cooperation by having the OSCE work more closely with other multilateral organizations in Europe, especially NATO and the EU, and by having the OSCE refine its work or, in a few instances, take on new tasks, to fill gaps not covered by other organizations. Police training and border security are areas where we believe the OSCE is well-positioned to make a valuable contribution.
To expand on that point for a moment, as follow-up to the ground-breaking May 22-23 Ohrid Balkan Border Security Conference, which was co-sponsored by NATO, the EU, the Stability Pact and OSCE, we support the OSCE contributing its training expertise to outside states to train border security officials. We very much welcome the regional approach to ensuring that borders remain open and that the legitimate flow of people and goods is expedited, while inhibiting the exploitation of less-controlled borders by terrorists, organized criminals and traffickers in human beings, drugs and weapons. There is great potential here for further cooperation which, if effectively developed, could be applied to other regions and also constitute another OSCE contribution to the fight against terrorism.
More than ever now, there is a need for closer links and cooperation with other key Euro-Atlantic institutions, particularly NATO and the EU. The OSCE is not in competition with NATO and the EU. Rather, the OSCE has long worked closely with these two organizations in the Balkans. Working cooperatively and productively with the EU, especially after enlargement, is critical. OSCE is, in fact, the forum that more than any other highlights what the U.S. and EU have in common, and where we work together day in and day out to achieve shared objectives.
Russia's Fulfillment of Its Istanbul Commitments: Russia agreed at the Porto Ministerial that it would complete its withdrawal of weapons and ammunition from Moldova by December 31, 2003. To facilitate implementation of this commitment, the United States and its partners in the Moldova Voluntary Fund have offered to assist Russia in meeting the cost of this withdrawal, including through destruction and transportation back to Russia of some 40,000 tons of stored ammunition and many thousands of small arms. The OSCE Mission in Moldova estimates that Russia has now removed over one-third of its stored ammunition. Unfortunately, the Transnistrian regime has exploited its ability to impede the departure of ammunition trains for its own political purposes, slowing, and at times, stopping the trains. In the end, in spite of any difficulties introduced by other parties, it remains the responsibility of the Russian Federation to fulfill its Istanbul commitments and complete the withdrawal of Russian forces to which it committed in Istanbul. We hope to be able to welcome the completion of this task at Maastricht.
Likewise, in accordance with the commitment it undertook at Istanbul, Russia must also reach agreement with the Government of Georgia on the timeline for closure of two remaining Russian bases on Georgian territory, and on the status of the Russian presence at a third facility, in Abkhazia. We and our NATO Allies stand united in declaring that fulfillment of these commitments on Moldova and Georgia, together with Russia's commitment to reduce its CFE Treaty limited equipment in the flank region to the levels set in the Adapted CFE Treaty, is a necessary condition for us to proceed with ratification of the Adapted CFE Treaty.
Enhanced OSCE Economic and Environmental Work. We hope to adopt the first new set of commitments since the Bonn Document of 1990. The so-called "Strategy Document" focuses on good governance and transparency, as expert after expert has named these as pre-requisites for economic development and integration, as well as for maximizing the benefits of globalization. The Strategy Document will include a section on reforming the Economic Forum. We are leading efforts to make the annual Economic Forum more of a workshop, rather than just a forum for discussion. The lack of economic opportunity is one of the most powerful obstacles to a civil society in significant parts of the OSCE area.
In addition to work on these areas, as I noted earlier, we hope that at Maastricht the OSCE states will be ready to endorse follow-up on recommendations made at the anti-Semitism and Racism/Xenophobia conferences and at the ASRC. In addition to making political commitments to address stockpile security and MANPADs, we hope the Ministerial Council will commit all OSCE participating states to implement new biometric standards for passports, as well as enhanced security procedures for handling and issuance of travel documents.
We are optimistic about the potential for Maastricht to demonstrate that the OSCE is actively, practically dealing with issues of importance in the areas of human rights, economics and political-military security.
The annual Ministerial Council provides the impetus for much of the future work of the OSCE. But, especially in light of the ongoing exercise to develop an OSCE strategy to address Threats to Security and Stability in the 21st century, our OSCE partners are looking beyond the present to the medium term. I'd like to go a beyond the Ministerial and put forth our thinking on where the OSCE might focus its limited resources.
We look forward to replicating with the incoming Bulgarian Chairmanship the close cooperation we now have with the Dutch. We believe that Bulgaria will bring unique experience to helping participating states make effective use of the OSCE's potential to promote good governance, rule of law and market-oriented development to promote legitimate business development. We look forward to commenting on the goals of the Bulgarian Chairmanship when they are known in greater detail. In the meantime, I'd like to offer our thoughts on U.S. priorities in 2004.
Political Settlement in Moldova
We are encouraged by the progress being made in talks between Moldova and the leaders of Transnistria on establishing a new federal structure, enabling a united Moldova to turn to the pressing task of economic development. My team here in Washington, Ambassador Minikes and his in Vienna and our embassy and the OSCE Mission in Moldova work hard at trying to forge a solution and will make every effort to achieve the maximum degree of progress toward thawing this 10-year old frozen conflict by the time we meet in Maastricht.
But the hard work to establish a lasting peace will go on long thereafter. It is a great credit to the OSCE, to Dutch leadership and the dedication and perseverance of negotiators, including the OSCE Head of Mission in Moldova, Ambassador Bill Hill, that significant progress has been made. The OSCE has a special responsibility to provide civilian observers and the mandate for a peace stabilization force that would guarantee the terms of any political agreement. Facilitating a settlement would be a major accomplishment for the OSCE, but the OSCE's work in Moldova cannot end there. With a revamped mandate, the OSCE mission needs to play a crucial role in helping a post-settlement Moldova accelerate its modernization and reform process.
Equally important in neighboring Ukraine will be facilitating free and fair elections in 2004 and promoting practical economic work through the OSCE office in Kiev to promote foreign investment and Ukraine's integration into European economic institutions. In Belarus maintaining the OSCE's focus on civil society and development of democratic institutions will demonstrate our ongoing commitment to that country and its people.
Conflicts in the South Caucuses
We are committed to continuing our mediation efforts as a Co-Chair of Minsk Group Process, with Russia and France, to resolve the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nargorno-Karabakh.
Similarly, we are committed to a resolution to the South Ossetian separatist conflict in Georgia. The United States has strongly supported, politically and financially, the OSCE's Border Monitoring Operation (BMO), which now monitors the entire border between Georgia and the Russian Federation.
Preventing and Combatting Terrorism
Combating terrorism is another area where the OSCE has enjoyed real success. Through our ongoing commitment of U.S. financial and personnel resources to OSCE's growing and effective Action against-Terrorism Unit, and to many of the OSCE's core activities, including promoting human rights, tolerance, freedom of the media, and the rule of law, we believe we are making progress in helping make societies more resistant to manipulation by extremists. In addition, we are supporting OSCE efforts in the following areas:
Police training and other law enforcement enhancement: OSCE is forging new ground with its development of programs to better detect, deter, and prosecute criminal activity and promote a partnership between police and civil society. Newer initiatives on counter-terrorism reflect our increased use of the OSCE's political reach. This is practical help countries, such as those in Central Asia, want. It enables the OSCE to promote respect for human rights within the framework of police training efforts, a model that is working very well in the Balkans.
Travel Document and Border Security: As I noted earlier, should all 55 OSCE states agree to adopt the new ICAO biometric standards for passports, as well as enhanced handling and issuance procedures, another important step will have been taken to close doors to terrorists. Furthermore, the OSCE provides an umbrella under which officials within a country and among countries (border authorities, customs, etc.) can talk to one another and better coordinate their own and regional approaches to problems. In working in these directions, we are encouraged by our success last year in getting all OSCE participating states to agree to complete the Financial Action Task Force self assessments on compliance with its Eight Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing.
Importance of Field Missions
We firmly believe that field missions are one of OSCE's greatest resources, setting the organization apart. Field missions represent a solid commitment by the OSCE to work with host governments and civil societies to address their political, economic and security problems. It's hardly a secret that many countries that host OSCE field missions have at times complained that field missions are not responsive enough to host country needs and that they represent a "badge of shame" before the international community. For this reason we initiated in Vienna a broad discussion on field missions. We have been clear that we have certain bottom lines, especially regarding the important role that missions play in fostering democratic institutions and the development of an involved, informed civil society.
The dynamism of field missions is evident, from Bosnia and Tajikistan where missions are deeply engaged on human rights education to the excellent programs on good governance conducted by the OSCE Mission in Yerevan to training of judges and prosecutors in the Balkans. We stand ready to work with host countries to reflect their priorities in the mission mandates, but we are not going to abandon missions. I ask for your help on the Commission to impress upon your parliamentary colleagues from OSCE participating States the need to encourage host countries to make maximum use of their missions to further these states' implementation of their OSCE commitments.
Central Asia and the Caucuses
Central Asia and the Caucasus are regions of vital importance to the United States. Our intense dialogue and cooperation with these states covers all issues, from democratic development, economic reform and common security interests. We fully the support OSCE devoting greater attention and resources to help Central Asian and Caucasus states meet their OSCE commitments as a way toward enhancing their overall security and stability.
The problems facing Central Asia will not be solved overnight, and -- in some cases -- not even soon. Full respect for, and implementation of, human rights commitments requires not just words but deeds, not for the benefit of the international community, but for the real long term interests not just of those societies but for all participating states. I will just touch upon a few concerns. I understand that Assistant Secretary Craner will go into greater detail. In Kyrgyzstan, the government needs to act on the recommendations raised at its recent political forum with civil society, NGOs and political parties. In Turkmenistan, while the Moscow Mechanism has not prompted the type of change we all would like to see, it helped raise awareness about the problems in Turkmenistan and clearly showed President Niyazov that he is under close scrutiny by the international community. A continued intense focus on Turkmenistan will be necessary for some time to come, and we commend the OSCE field mission there for meeting with courageous NGO activists and families of the politically persecuted.
The OSCE's efforts are complicated by the fact that the Central Asian governments are concerned about security matters, specifically spillover from Afghanistan. To advance better our agenda in this operating environment, we are looking for creative ways simultaneously to address Central Asian concerns and our own. As noted, we are doing more with police training and border security. At the same time, we openly tell Central Asians of our concerns about their failures to meet human dimension commitments and promote the role of OSCE field missions in addressing such concerns. Ultimately, respect for human rights and democratization and the availability of economic opportunities are the best guarantees for stability. We are strongly advocating media freedom, notably through the Media Support Center in Kyrgyzstan. As I told Central Asian Ambassadors in Vienna in July, greater media freedom provides a peaceful outlet for opposing viewpoints.
In the Caucasus, free and fair elections that meet OSCE standards will be critical to ongoing democratic and economic development. We will support continued OSCE involvement, through field missions and ODIHR. We are working hard to help Azerbaijan's presidential election meet OSCE standards. We also stand ready to help Georgia implement the electoral reform measures proposed by former Secretary of State James Baker. It is a tribute to the credibility and flexibility of the OSCE that the "Baker Plan" for Georgia envisions a direct OSCE role in selecting the Chairmen of the Georgian Central Elections Commission and regional elections commissions.
Let me here say a word about OSCE's promising new partnership relationship with Afghanistan. Afghanistan became an OSCE Partner for Cooperation in April and has signaled its interest in having an "active" partnership with the OSCE. We support developing such a relationship with Afghanistan. In the short term, Tajikistan has offered to invite Afghan representatives to participate in OSCE border training exercises.
The willingness of the U.S. to channel project funds for Central Asia and the Caucasus through the OSCE demonstrates our commitment to the regions and our interest in using multilateral institutions to promote development of civil society, rule of law, good governance and market-oriented economic development.
Relations with Russia at the OSCE
We envision continuing our good working relations with Russia at the OSCE. We find common purpose on a range of security-related issues, including OSCE counter-terrorism work, though we have differences in approach to some issues. We very much regret that the Russian Federation did not agree to extend the mandate of the OSCE Assistance Group in Chechnya and we support the efforts of the Chairmanship to develop a new OSCE presence in Chechnya. It will be essential, whatever form that presence takes, that OSCE personnel be permitted to carry out meaningful work with the Chechen authorities and non-governmental actors aimed at promoting greater respect for human rights, strengthening civil society and creating conditions that foster economic growth.
Roma and IDPs
We applaud the work of the ODIHR Contact Point for Roma and Sinti Issues, Mr. Nicolae Gheorghe, in helping to resolve the stand-off, which stranded 700 Roma for two months on the Greek border with Macedonia. We strongly support practical efforts by the OSCE, in conjunction with other organizations, for the return of Roma, as well as other IDPs in Europe, especially throughout the Balkans and the Caucasus. We believe the OSCE is taking the right approach in involving Roma, themselves, to find solutions.
Promoting Conditions Economic Development
The incoming Bulgarian chair has chosen as its theme for the next Economic Forum: "New Challenges for Building Up Institutional and Human Capacity for Economic Development and Cooperation." The Bulgarians aim to help states develop institutional capacity for business development, as well as to create conditions conducive to domestic and foreign investment. In addition, the OSCE will be looking for ways to help individuals capitalize on the opportunities that the global economy presents.
The OSCE has been instrumental in helping Balkan states recover from the ravages of war and instability. Much work remains to bolster the cases of these countries for integration into European and global markets, and for closer cooperation with other European and Euro-Atlantic institutions. As I said earlier, NATO, the EU and OSCE are cooperating well in the Balkans. We see similar productive regional cooperation with our transatlantic partners in the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe. The fact that the EU is considering deployment of a police mission to Macedonia, and has taken control of policing in Bosnia, underlines the need for a continued high level of cooperation with the OSCE. We believe that the OSCE has a key role to play on the following issues:
Dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade. The OSCE Mission in Kosovo has provided important technical training and expertise for the Kosovar side on how to prepare for negotiations. This dialogue is essential as UNMIK prepares to pass on greater administrative authority to local officials in Kosovo.
Cooperation with the Parliamentary Assembly
We welcome the active engagement of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (PA) on a broad range of matters, especially anti-Semitism and freedom of religion, and its active participation in key OSCE activities, including in OSCE election observation in the upcoming critical polls in Georgia and Azerbaijan. In spite of the vote to seat delegations from the Belarus National Assembly, the OSCE and the PA still have leverage which they must use to get the Belarus government to respect human rights and support democratic civic institutions. Here in Washington and in Vienna we want to coordinate closely with you in the run-up to the winter and summer sessions of 2004 to deliver a strong message to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly about U.S. policies on issues affecting the OSCE and the world.
Thirty years after the beginning of the process that culminated in the signing of the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE is still largely known for its work in promoting human rights and democratic institution building.
And well it should be. It represents the OSCE's niche in the world of international organizations, particularly with regard to its field work. That work remains central to the OSCE's identity and has indeed been highly successful and a matter of great, and legitimate, pride for the organization. However, the organization also deserves attention for the major role it plays on an array of security issues, from arms control and confidence building measures, to counter-terrorism, border security and police training.
The OSCE has served U.S. interests well in the changing political/security environment in Europe since the end of the Cold War. I think it also serves other countries' interests, too. And that's a thought to keep in mind and to remind our partners of as, in the course of 2004, a new scale of assessment for the OSCE budget is negotiated. The OSCE works for the general benefit of all its participating states. Its values and principles are universal, its record of achievement an example for the world.
We continue to have differences of view with our OSCE partners over some issues. Building consensus on the concrete proposals to help states implement their Helsinki and other OSCE commitments is never easy. But I look forward to continued close cooperation with you on the Commission to maintain the OSCE's effectiveness in promoting democracy and human rights, and its responsiveness to the concerns of its participating states and their citizens.

I have Android device. And configure with ZCS 7.1.0 NE. All works fine, but on Android device I see only one Calendar, Contacts group and Task list.
Does ZCS support more than one Calendar, Contants, Tasks ? If yes how to configure? Or I need additional software?
Thanks in advance

Probably a simple question but I am missing it.
I have a Zimbra account and I just installed the desktop version. I am trying to set it up but I have no idea what the Incoming Mail Server should be? What do I put there if I am using a Zimbra Account?
And speaking of that since I am using a Zimbra Account and it is Zimbra Desktop why doesn't it automatically sync?
I see there are problems using XP. I have XP have those issues been resolved or am I wasting my time?

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri House committee has endorsed legislation that would eliminate the current time limits for prosecuting cases that involve sexual offenses against people age 18 and younger.
Right now, prosecutions must start within 30 years after the victim's 18th birthday. The statute of limitations already does not apply to instances of forcible rape or forcible sodomy, attempted forcible rape or attempted forcible sodomy and kidnapping. The measure would allow prosecutions for child abuse at any time.
The House Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee approved the legislation Monday.
Earlier this year, a state child sex abuse task force released a report urging lawmakers to eliminate the statute of limitations for first-degree statutory rape and first-degree statutory sodomy.

Pistorius saga also puts SA journalism in the dock
- Mandy de Waal
Loan sharks and micro-finance offices have mushroomed in South Africa's inner-city centres. The lure is attractive – borrow R10,000 and create your dream life by growing your business. But in a country where half the population lives in poverty and much more live in debt, a greater understanding of how they use money could lead to more appropriate financial services. By MANDY DE WAAL.
African journalists are very familiar with the "big stick" – the unmistakable threat of violence that haunts their work. To help them get around this problem, and other difficulties dogging the progress of the media in Africa, a new prize looks to encourage innovations that can revolutionise the African media landscape – and organisers have brought out the much less familiar "big wallet" to do just that. By SIMON ALLISON.
Millions of South Africans rejoiced on Thursday after model Jessica Leandra dos Santos, 20, and Generations star Tshidi Thamana, 22, confirmed they would return the country to the glory it enjoyed a week ago. They brought the nation to its knees and they'll put it back on its feet, they said. By GREG NICOLSON.
Sometimes you have to zoom out from an issue to see the bigger picture. Sometimes you have to zoom right in to see the magic of how its smallest components resonate with each other. But at some point you will realise that maybe, just maybe, there's another way of looking at things. By GUY LIEBERMAN.
Kenya's incursion into Somalia last October, dubbed Operation Linda Nchi or Protect the Country, signalled a renewed vigour in the war against Al-Shabaab. As part of the operation, officials also launched a crackdown in the North Eastern province of Kenya, intent on weeding out the Somali cell of al-Qaeda sympathisers. In the process, Kenyan Somalis and Somali refugees were arbitrarily arrested and gravely mistreated. By KHADIJA PATEL.
Against the backdrop of a shameful fall in South Africa's media freedom rating worldwide, the report of the Press Freedom Commission – the second media freedom review process following the ANC's calls for a media appeals tribunal – was published last week. JULIE REID takes a satellite view of processes, perspectives and possibilities.
Sibusiso Tshabalala is a name you're likely to hear more of in the future. Selected by Google as one of 10 young people who are changing the world, Tshabalala is teaching the power of critical thinking to school children in Bloemfontein. The good news is that when he's finished his law degree, this rational-thinking social activist plans to go into politics. By MANDY DE WAAL.
ANCYL spokesman Floyd Shivambu has officially apologised to a City Press journalist for insulting her. It took two years and an Equality Court hearing for Shivambu to admit he was wrong. Just another notch in the ANCYL's recent history of incredible sensitivity when it comes to dealing with women who are critical of its policies and leaders. By SIPHO HLONGWANE.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Maryland regulators say Pepco is charging for disconnected customers without labeling the bills and that this weekend's storm again qualifies the utility to ask blacked out consumers to pay up for power services they didn't get.
"The storms of this past weekend qualified as a major storm for Pepco," said Maryland Public Service Commission spokeswoman Regina Davis. "The Bill Stabilization Adjustment (BSA) adjusts distribution rates to allow the companies to recover the same revenue every month."
Although officials identified only Pepco as qualifying to charge the BSA because of the weekend outage, both Pepco and BGE qualified during the derecho.
Maryland officials estimate, that combined, they'll be billing customers over a million dollars for losses for that storm alone.
All BSA fees must be approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission and the derecho fee is still pending approval.
"Pepco will reflect the adjustment in the BSA calculation in the September & October bills and it always appears as a line item," Pepco spokesman Bob Hainey claimed on July 13th.
Pepco maintained that position until Monday when Maryland regulators responded to a 9 Wants to Know inquiry.
"I have been informed by staff that the bills we have from Pepco do not indicate a separate line item for the BSA," said Davis with the state regulatory agency.
In a response, Pepco, for the first time, acknowledged it does not identify the charge on customer bills.
"I do need clarify that the BSA does not appear on our customers' bill as a separate line item," said Pepco's Hainey a few hours after 9 Wants to Know forwarded the Maryland Public Service Commission to the utility.
Pepco officials declined to respond to other 9 Wants to Know inquiries.
Shortly after 9 Wants to Know exposed the BSA fees, the Public Service Commission scheduled a hearing, scheduled for September 24th, to consider revoking the outage fee billings.

Associated Press Release
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) -- A central Florida bus driver is being accused of driving a group of students to her home and staging a fight.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says 29-year-old Patrice Sanders took a busload of students to her home after two teenage girls got into a verbal altercation. She allegedly said the situation had to be handled today and that the girls "just need to fight."
Deputies say Sanders stood by and watched the girls fight in her front yard and did nothing to stop them.
At least one student recorded the fight on a cell phone.
Sanders has been charged with child abuse, neglect, false imprisonment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

IUCN is 60. To help celebrate this remarkable milestone, we've produced a special double issue of World Conservation: looking back over 60 years of conservation and ahead to the
next 60.
What are the issues, approaches and ideas that will influence conservation in the coming decades? Several prominent figures including IUCN's Presidential candidates outline their vision for the environment.
We profile some of the people who are instigating change from the ground level to the international policy arena. We also take a look at some of the big issues up for discussion at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona which kicks off on 5 October.
