Sunrise, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Scottie Upshall notched a goal and an
assist, as the Florida Panthers halted New York's seven-game road win streak
with a 4-2 victory over the Islanders at BB&T Center.
Drew Shore, Aleksander Barkov and Nick Bjugstad each scored once, while Tim
Thomas turned aside 31 shots for Florida, which improved to 4-1-2 over its
last seven games.
"The guys did what they had to," Florida head coach Peter Horachek said. "They
battled down to the very end and Timmy (Thomas) played his normal, solid
Colin McDonald and Thomas Vanek both lit the lamp for the Islanders, who
suffered their first road loss since a 6-3 setback in Phoenix on Dec. 12.
Kevin Poulin allowed all four goals on 26 shots in defeat.
The Panthers pounced on Poulin from the outset, potting three goals in the
first frame to create a comfortable cushion.
The offensive onslaught started just 32 seconds in, as the Islanders turned
the puck over at their own blue line and Brad Boyes picked up the disc to
create a 2-on-1 rush with Barkov.
The teammates then worked the disc back-and-forth before Barkov buried a one-
timer from the low right circle to give Florida a 1-0 lead.
Shore doubled the lead at 15:34 when he scooped up the puck below the New York
goal line and held off a defender as he made his way to the right faceoff dot,
where he wheeled around before ripping a shot that deflected off a defender's
skate in front and slipped past Poulin to make it 2-0.
Bjugstad capped the Florida flurry in the final minute of the first. Another
New York turnover near the blue line saw Upshall come up with a steal and send
the disc ahead to Bjugstad, who lifted a wrister over Poulin from in close to
push the lead to 3-0 with 35.6 ticks left.
Upshall extended the margin with a short-handed tally late in the second, as
he stripped Andrew MacDonald at the Florida blue line and raced in on a
breakaway. Despite MacDonald nipping at his heels, Upshall was able to stuff
the puck past the extended right pad of Poulin for a 4-0 lead at 15:59.
New York finally found the back of the net in the final minute of the second.
Matt Martin picked up a rebound on the low left side and made his way
behind the net before setting up McDonald's one-timer from the low right side
that made it 4-1 with just over 30 seconds left in the period.
Vanek netted his 16th of the season 2:38 into the third to get the Isles
within two, but a high-sticking double-minor against defenseman Calvin de Haan
handcuffed New York's comeback bid and the Panthers were able to hang on for
the victory.
"It's partially good goaltending, but also us not burying our chances," Vanek
said. "It's those little plays we didn't execute."
Shore's goal was his first of the season ... New York had won a season-high
four straight overall coming into the game ... The Islanders' seven-game road
win streak was the second longest in club history behind their eight-game tear
from Feb. 27-March 29, 1981 ... Florida's Ed Jovanovski supplied two assists
and was a plus-2, his first points and best performance in his five games back
from radical hip surgery which allowed him to continue his career.

I tried to upgrade 3.1.4 to 4.5.3. The upgrade failed (choked on schema updates)
Error while running '/opt/zimbra/bin/mysql --user=zimbra --password=SAoo20h4bjrUQusGVKJZ5cQJ8C --database=zimbra --batch --skip-column-names'. at /opt/zimbra/libexec/scripts/Migrate.pm line 220, line 94.

So I tried to upgrade 3.1.4 over the half-installed 4.5.3, that failed, so I have to clean install 3.1.4. Done, moved on.
Now my problems are much worse. Before doing all this I took a backup, of course. But now I can't restore from the backup. When I run 'zmrestoreldap -lb xxxxxxx' I get:
bdb_db_open: database already in use
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1)
slap_startup failed
When I run 'zmrestoreoffline -a all' I get:
Error occurred: no such domain: avvenu.com
If I reinstall and configure with the avvenu.com domain, then I get the same error, but I'm missing corp.avvenu.com.
Everything worked fine in my staging runs :(

I am trying to migrate my few remaining outlook users to the Ajax client so I can finally just have google apps here with no MS products. However the one big outstanding hurdle is that from within the Ajax interface you don't seem to be able to add Email as an attachment to the Calendar.
Whats odd is the functionality is there behind the scences as these users to it every day from within outlook and if you goto the calendar event in Ajax the Email is there as an attachment just fine. Is there anyway to add the email attacher function to the calendar and not just new mail?

Help needed with an Advanced GT CG-5!
Posted 05 March 2011 - 09:55 AM
Help....what is the problem and what is the fix?
Thanks in advance!
Posted 05 March 2011 - 10:37 AM
I have had this mount for about two years and it has worked just fine. Last night I set it up -- leveled the tripod after polar aligning etc.--- then went through the alignment process and it worked ok but was a little off on going to Procyon. I then rebooted and went through the process again and instead of coming up with Capella as the first alignment star it came up with Sirius. When it went to Sirius it went in the correct direction to the south east but it tried to aim the scope below the horizon. I then started all over double checking my GPS coordinates, time, date, etc. and the same thing happened. I then replaced my power supply and the exact same thing happened.
Help....what is the problem and what is the fix?
Thanks in advance!
_Assuming_ your battery (fully charged?) and cable and connectors are good, do a Reset to Factory Values. You'll need to reenter your information, of course. Also be aware that if the star was nearing the Meridian, the mount _will_ take the long way around and will seem to be going off on a dadgum tangent.
Posted 05 March 2011 - 10:58 AM
Thanks Rod!
Posted 05 March 2011 - 02:00 PM
Posted 05 March 2011 - 02:01 PM
The batteries were fully charged. I am going to purchase a new cable this morning from Radio Shack that was mentioned in another thread. I will try the reset tonight.
Thanks Rod!
More important than the cable is the connector, the scope-side connector. If it does not fit firmly, spread the pins a little with a small screwdriver of a knife.

Thanks a bunch guys!!!!!!!!!

Posted 06 March 2011 - 05:48 PM
Jerry, When it happens again...and it will... Loosen the clutches (Probably RA only) and point the scope at the target star. Then continue with your alignment. Try it and see what happens.
This may help temporarily, but if the computer needs a reset, it will not help long. And if the problem is cables or a battery it will not help at all.

Posted 07 March 2011 - 05:50 AM
I have had this problem with both my CG-5 and my CGEM mounts. I have addressed the problems of power and cabling. This has fixed other problems effecting my mounts, but the one described by Jerry, that of the scope pointing in a downward position has continued to happen to both of my mounts. I took the advise given here on CN of doing a factory reset when this happened. This involves a considerable amount of time and it did not always solve the problem. I have found that when this pointing downward problem happens to me, I simply loosen the clutch and move the mount in RA to align the target star and all is as it should be from there on. I then continue with my alignments without any further problems. I no longer waste my time on factory resets. I have nothing more to add other than that on my mounts and in my experience this has worked for me.
This is not normal behavior. If your mount does this consistently, you should consider having Celestron look at it. I've never experienced this in six years of use.
Posted 07 March 2011 - 07:56 AM
I have seen this problem posted here and on other forums. Jerry describes this problem in his OP. It would seem odd to me that of all of Celestrons mounts I have the only 2 that have the phenomenon pointing to the ground when they should be pointing to the sky.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio...

Posted 07 March 2011 - 10:46 AM
Posted 07 March 2011 - 10:53 AM
The error I'm experiencing is approximately 70° misalignment in RA. I hardly think such a large error can be caused by incorrect data input like the wrong time zone. The data input has been through both manual input and CN16 GPS input. Both have been checked and reentered numerous times and also by data base input means. I am fairly familiar with the sky and I know that Rigel is not 40° below the horizon on the 5th of March at 2100hrs on the west coast of America.
The RA error is 15 degrees per hour of incorrect time zone so 75 degrees is a reasonable error (5 zones).
If it reports an object below the horizon when it is not, then it can ONLY be a location, date, time, or time zone error and with the GPS it shouldn't be a location, date, or time problem. That pretty much leaves time zone.
Posted 07 March 2011 - 11:01 AM
Posted 07 March 2011 - 11:09 AM
So when I enter the time zone as Pacific and as the GPS also enters the time zone as Pacific the mount thinks it's 5 time zones away? What do you think the fix is for that?
Does it report the object as below the horizon or just slew inappropriately to below the horizon? If it knows the object is up but slews to the wrong place that's different.
If the initial slew is way off and you slip the clutches to correct it then it will work fine - but it won't know that the initial slew was wrong so it'll keep doing it. If you use the motors to bring it to where it belongs it'll keep track of that large correction and will compensate on future alignments, eventually bringing the error down. If it works properly one day but has a huge first star error the next day, that correction is what isn't working properly and it's probably defective memory in the location used to store the correction factor.
This all presupposes that you always start from the same initial position, of course. Different starting positions will just confuse it.

I have tried that and I don't remember if that has worked every time or not. Next time I'll pay better attention after a hibernate. I really haven't been able to reproduce nor eliminate the problem on a regular basis. Maybe I need to document exactly what is happening and when every time it happens and see if I can find a pattern.
Thanks so much to you guys for the help. I think I totally hijacked this thread from Jerry. Sorry about that Jerry. I really didn't mean to.

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns are having a second interview with former Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt about their vacancy.
Whisenhunt, who was recently fired after six seasons with the Cardinals, is meeting with the Browns on Thursday.
The 50-year old is the first candidate to have a second interview with the Browns.
The team met with Whisenhunt last week in Arizona.
He went 45-51 in six regular seasons with the Cardinals and led them to one Super Bowl appearance in 2009.
Whisenhunt worked as a special teams coach with the Browns in 1999, when they returned to the NFL as an expansion team.
He also has worked as an assistant with the Ravens (tight ends), Jets (special teams) and Steelers (tight ends and offensive coordinator).

City Replaces Fire Department Training Structure
A new, state-of-the-art fire building for training firefighters is being built for the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) to replace an old structure that stood for more than two decades in its East Baltimore neighborhood.
As part of her initiative to rebuild Baltimore, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, accompanied by a host of elected officials, broke ground Aug. 29 for a new fire training building, which will be partially funded by Exelon—a Chicago based energy company.
"Generations of Baltimore City firefighters have trained at this site. This new facility, when completed, will help cadets learn to work together to suppress fires and protect the residents and businesses of Baltimore," said Rawlings-Blake
According to acting Fire Chief Jeffery Segal, the new burn building will allow all cadets to train in a live-fire situations near the same site where they receive classroom training.
"Since 2008 we have been traveling to Aberdeen, Md., which takes away from valuable lesson time for our cadets, Segal told the AFRO.
The structure has been unoccupied since 2007, after fire cadet Racheal Wilson died during a training exercise at the now demolished structure.
Under an agreement with Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) in 2011, the BGE emergency team will be on had to control the building during the simulated fires.
Segal said training in the burn building is the best way to teach young firefighters to respect fire. They will learn, he said, "as part of a team" how to "suppress a fire and save lives."
"As this city grows, improving public safety is a priority, and that is why we are making this commitment to the department now. Our investment will reward the future by placing some of the best trained firefighters in the country at stations throughout Baltimore," Rawlings-Blake said.
The project will cost more than $1.4 million. The city of Baltimore will contribute $974,406 and Exelon agreed they would invest $470,000 for the cost of the new structure, which will ultimately allow BGE employees to use the new Burn Building for training, in conjunction with Baltimore City Firefighters.
Calvin G. Butler Jr., BGE's senior vice president said, "Exelon is proud to support this project, which will allow BGE employees to train alongside Baltimore City firefighters in a new, state-of-the-art facility."
"Safety and reliability are BGE's top priorities, and this training center will help enhance emergency response, protect lives and improve quality of life in Baltimore," Butler said.
The burn building renovation is the first step in a multi-step master plan to renovate the academy into a training hub for the fire department as well as other city agencies and private corporations.
"Better trained cadets become better firefighters, which help make the city safer," Segal said. "Upon graduation, BCFD cadets will have received the best possible education and preparation for a very dangerous but important job."
Fire fighter recruits will receive first-class live fire and classroom training and current firefighters and paramedics can go to the new Burn Building to receive refresher training, use the fitness facility and enroll in education courses.
"Our investment will also serve as a catalyst for economic development by creating city jobs, which is a key component of the more than $1 billion package of benefits that Exelon will contribute as part of its merger with Constellation," Butler said.
The new burn building is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Segal told the AFRO, "We are sad to see the old burn building go," but the fire department will use the bricks from the old building to construct a 9/11 memorial at the academy.
"It will help preserve the legacy of the burn building for another generation of the BCFD members," he said.

13-4 flurry that put Colorado State up 57-55 with 2:44 remaining.

minutes left to put the visitors ahead once again.
On the Rebels ensuing trip down the floor Marshall bricked a 3-point try, but
Dejean-Jones grabbed the rebound and UNLV quickly called a timeout.
Marshall missed another try from behind the arc out of the timeout, but
Dejean-Jones was there once again and was fouled as he tipped it in to tie the
Dejean-Jones missed the free throw and Green's 3-point try with 39 seconds
left didn't fall.
Marshall grabbed the miss and let the clock wind down to seven seconds before
burying the go-ahead basket.
Bejarano's trey at the buzzer drew iron and the Rebels held on for the win.
UNLV raced out to a 22-12 lead with 7:05 left in the first half and led 32-21
at the break.

Country star Trace Adkins has left rehab – again – this time after his father fell ill.
The "You're Gonna Miss This" hitmaker entered a clinic in Lake Worth, Florida earlier this month after struggling to maintain his sobriety.
A representative for the star has confirmed to WENN that the 52-year-old has checked out of the facility after receiving news his elderly father Aaron's health had deteriorated. Further details of Aaron's condition have not been released.
He had already left rehab once this month, reportedly to purchase a guitar.
Adkins had been sober for more than a decade after completing a 28-day alcohol rehabilitation program in 2002, but decided to seek professional help following an altercation with an impersonator on a cruise he was booked to perform on in early January.

WOODBINE, Md. (WUSA) - The woman who was shot in the head by her boyfriend on Sunday died this morning, according to Maryland State Police.
Brittany A. Warfield, 21, was pronounced dead around 9 a.m. Monday morning at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, police said.
Police say her boyfriend 26-year-old William R. Brueckmann now faces first degree murder, second degree murder and manslaughter. After his arrest on Sunday, Breuckmann was initially charged with attempted first degree murder, attempted second degree murder, first degree assault, second degree assault and use of a handgun in the commission of a felony.
The incident took place Sunday morning at the 6800 block of John Pickett Rd. in Woodbine, where the couple lived, after neighbors reported hearing a gunshot in the area to police.
"When state troopers and deputies arrived at the address, Brueckmann was found in the backyard of the residence holding Warfield, who was lying on the ground," Maryland State Police said in a news release.
Warfield was immediately flown to the shock trauma center after police observed what appeared to be a gunshot wound to her head. Preliminary investigations indicate that the couple began arguing which later resulted in the shooting - Brueckmann was planning on moving out of the apartment, police said.
State Police obtained a warrant and recovered the handgun that was used in the shooting inside the home and several other long guns Sunday night.

I saw this in the news, but had not seen the illustrations...thanks Mark!
Until about 8,000 years ago, Ireland and the British Isles were the westernmost part of the European continent. It all was one great land mass until the lands off the current European West Coast and surrounding the British Isles went beneath the waves. These sunken lands now are called Doggerland.
Scientists at St. Andrew's University have produced an interesting map of Doggerland as it was, including the locations of known settlements. They also have made a number of graphics showing how Doggerland looked in their opinion.
The International Business Times has the map and a good report at:
I haven't found an English language site with the graphics, but then, language isn't too important when you're looking at pictures. The German news magazine Der Spiegel has a photo sequence with the maps and the graphics at:

Somewhat shamefully I need to say that this is only my second ever comet, with Halley's being my first, :o
Still, better late than never.
Comet Lemmon has been tracing a path across the southern sky, cruising through Crux last month, close to the South Celestial pole, and very soon to be within spitting distance of the mighty 47Tuc and the LMC on its way to its perihelion and the glare of the sun.
At the moment Lemmon is around magnitude 5 and getting brighter. Conditions were good last night considering Lemmon isn't too high in the sky. An oh-so-faint hint of a tail though did come and go through my 8" dobbie. I included its trace detection on a couple of the "time lapse" sketches as I couldn't quite make it out by the third rendition.
I have to say that I am most impressed with my 5mm Hyperion. Of all the Hyperions I've tried, the 5mm is the only one that's been good in my fast Newt's. Tonight I pushed it to 320X with an ED barlow and it gave me such a lovely image.
The time lapse show's Lemmon's position over just a tick more than an hour going from right to left.

Hello Community!
I am a first time poster, and I think I have searched the forums here for a thread regarding my question but haven't come across one yet.
I work for a public school district and we are looking to add some new features to our website, one such feature is to share one or more calendars for the community to see what is going on at a particular school or more generally at a district level.
What I am looking for is some documentation that will help me from start to finish, i don't need every step maybe, but something that shows me a general idea of how the whole process works from an admin level to a webmaster level.
Hope I am asking the right questions, feel free to ask something of me if more clarification is needed.
Thanks again!

We are running ZD 2 on iMacs and Macbook Pros (MAC OS X 10.6.4.) and are experiencing sync problems. Mail does not always appear in the inbox unless one clicks either the inbox or refresh after which they appear in a batch.
After a sleep mode, it often takes up to 10 minutes to sync and sometimes it does not sync at all until ZD 2 is relaunched.
Both issues are making ZD 2 unreliable and cumbersome to use. Is this a known issue and or does a remedy exist?
We have re-installed ZD 2 several times, but the issue remains. ZD1 did sync far better.

Easton EA70 XC Low Rise - 2014 $0.00
We grew up with evidence of Easton's alloy-working genius in almost every facet of our sporting lives, and, now that we're grown, our toys still bear the Easton logo. Their latest offering is the Easton EA70 XC Low Rise, which continues one of the best-selling handlebar lines — mountain, road, or otherwise — that we've ever moved through our doors. Its secret to success lies in Easton's ability to highlight aluminum's best qualities while decreasing the impact of any negatives. One key element of the line's proven formula that Easton changed is the length. The new EA70 XC bar is now longer at 720 millimeters, giving more space for cockpit setup but still keeping the width down for navigating technical single track.
The bar is constructed with Easton's TaperWall technology, which strategically varies the thickness of the EA70 aluminum to bolster stress points like the clamping areas and improve ride quality while still saving weight overall. Easton proves their handlebars with the standard, hydraulically applied fatigue test and an alarmingly draconian-looking device that measures impact resistance. All of this comes in at an easily managed claimed weight of 290 grams.
The Easton EA70 XC Low Rise has a nine degree bend, a five degree upsweep, and a rise of 20 millimeters. It's available in the color Black.

Foreign aid bust
The return of brutal dictator 'Baby Doc' Duvalier should remind the world that indiscriminate aid is no solution to Haiti's problems
"Foreign aid bust" Continued...
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti-To an outsider navigating the crowded streets of the Haitian town of Cabaret, food appears plentiful: Street vendors squat shoulder-to-shoulder, hovering over wooden crates full of mangos, rice, garlic cloves, and corn. Bags of rice lean against the thin walls of makeshift stalls. And bunches of ripening bananas ride atop colorful buses blazing through the town just north of Port-au-Prince.
But on a barren patch of land off a Cabaret side street, sustenance is hard to find. Hundreds of earthquake victims live here in rows of temporary shelters that provide shade from the baking heat. A nearby well offers a critical water source, but a reliable food supply is a problem for many without work or money.
Among the handfuls of children who run to peek at a group of new visitors, some look like walking skeletons, with bony shoulders poking through oversized shirts, and twig legs supporting frail bodies. A few show the classic signs of deepening malnutrition: heads of orange hair.
On the far side of the camp, Miklen Destra, 30, aggressively motions me toward her tarp-covered shelter. She hurries inside the one-room dwelling and emerges with something dangling from each fist: Eleven-month-old twin daughters. As she thrusts the half-dressed babies forward like small sacks of rice, her Creole plea is simple but startling: "Take them."
Destra's dilemma is extreme but not uncommon in post-quake Haiti: More than a year after the 7.0-magnitude earthquake killed as many as 300,000 victims, at least 800,000 homeless Haitians remain in tent cities around the capital-many without access to latrines or potable water. The unemployment rate hovers at 80 percent, and the streets of Port-au-Prince remain clogged with much of the rubble that fell a year ago.
For Haitians, deprivation isn't new: Notorious poverty and miserable living conditions plagued the masses before the quake. But the earthquake and a series of other disasters-like cholera and political instability-complicate Haiti's already-complex problems in profound ways and deepen the urgency for sustainable solutions. What's not sustainable: unwise foreign aid to an ineffectual government.
Consider Destra's case: Her family was poor before the earthquake, but she lived in a cement house with her 3-year-old son and a husband who worked temporary jobs. On Jan. 12, 2010, the late-afternoon quake flattened her rental home and killed her husband. A month later, her twin daughters were born. With no husband, no father, and no work, the family has little hope. "I miss my husband, but I can't do anything about it," says Destra. "I pray for another husband."
Destra isn't alone: As more women filter out of their shelters, it becomes clear that this section is a widow's row-full of bereaved young mothers with few options. Food is expensive. Money is scarce. Aid agencies deliver occasional food distributions, but relief groups can't reach every pocket of need every day. Most of the widows say they attend church, but they say help there is scant: Most of their fellow churchgoers lost everything too.
On a nearby row, Isiana Laguelle has a husband, but no food. The 30-year-old mother of six says her husband can't find temporary work since the earthquake destroyed their home. He tries to grow food, but so far it isn't enough to feed the family of eight. From her one-room shelter with a dirt floor, the young mother says she sometimes skips meals so her children can eat. "We try to survive, but life is hard," she says. "I hope that one day God will give justice."
In Haiti, justice can be as elusive as food on a widow's table. Modern-day Haiti sprang from a cauldron of injustice: French plantation owners imported African slaves to the Caribbean island in the 1700s, brutally forcing the slaves to work sugar and coffee farms that lavishly enriched their owners.
Haitian slaves revolted in the late 1700s, eventually defeating the French in a vicious war, and becoming the first free black republic in the world.
But injustice also brewed within: For the next 200 years, the country would endure a series of brutal Haitian dictatorships, political oppression, and corruption that would leave the country crippled, violent, and impoverished to the present day.
Financial aid from foreign governments like the United States has fed the lavish lifestyles of corrupt leaders more than the hungry stomachs of common Haitians: Though foreign governments have given Haiti billions of dollars in aid over the last 40 years, the country is poorer than it was in 1949, according to the American Enterprise Institute. More than 80 percent of Haitians live below the poverty line, and some 54 percent live on less than $1 a day, according to the U.S. Agency for International Development.
A vivid reminder of Haiti's troubled history with failed aid unexpectedly arrived in Port-au-Prince last month: The country's notorious former dictator, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, returned to Haiti on Jan. 16 after nearly 25 years in French exile.
The ousted leader's arrival stunned Haitians already near a boiling point over disputed presidential elections and offered a living history lesson in the perils of government corruption and foreign aid.
Duvalier took power in 1971 after the death of his father, François "Papa Doc" Duvalier, a brutal dictator who slaughtered political opponents and drove the nation deeper into poverty. The Voodoo-obsessed Papa Doc enlisted some 300,000 Haitians for his infamous Tonton Macoutes-a security force that dominated Haitian life with fear and brutality. The ruler declared himself "president for life" and altered the Lord's Prayer with this invective for opponents: ". . . deliver them not from any evil."
The younger Duvalier didn't deliver his opponents from evil either. Taking power after his father's death, Baby Doc continued his father's oppression and abuse, using the dreaded Macoutes. Experts estimate that the government-hired thugs killed some 20,000 to 30,000 Haitians during the Duvaliers' combined reigns. Many of Haiti's intellectual elite fled the country, creating a drain of much-needed Haitian talent and skills.
But Baby Doc was also savvy: The president improved some Haitian living conditions enough to please poor masses and impress international donors. The result: U.S. aid to Haiti grew tenfold in the first few years of his rule.
Even today, some Haitians express nostalgia for Duvalier's rule. During my travels around Port-au-Prince just before his return, Duvalier's name appeared scrawled on concrete walls-an oddity that now seems prophetic. When the former leader arrived from Paris, handfuls of supporters chanted: "This is our president." (Duvalier's motive for returning remains unclear, and local prosecutors charged him with corruption and embezzlement.)
If any Haitians romanticize Duvalier's presidency, they neglect the dark heart of his rule: Not only did the dictator brutalize opponents, historians say he funneled millions of dollars of foreign aid to finance his lavish, drug-induced lifestyle.
By the end of his rule, Haitians grew poorer, while Duvalier grew rich. When Haitians finally protested his tactics in 1986, he left on a U.S. plane bound for exile in France. But the precedent was set: The dictator remains a crowning example of foreign aid falling into corrupt hands.
That example is relevant as millions of dollars in foreign aid flow into post-quake Haiti. Though less aid flows directly into government coffers in the wake of corruption scandals, the same principles apply: If government aid hasn't substantially improved Haiti's lot in the past, donor countries should consider how to avoid past mistakes.
So far, Haitian officials have complained that post-quake aid to Haiti has arrived too slowly. Indeed, the first $120 million in U.S. funds for reconstruction arrived in November-nearly 11 months after the earthquake. Haitian members of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, an international group co-led by former U.S. president Bill Clinton, complain that the commission leaves them out of critical planning for their own nation.
Still, it's unclear how officials have used funds that are available from other sources like private foundations: A tour of downtown Port-au-Prince reveals that some of the most urgent tasks-like rubble removal-remain largely undone. Heavy equipment seems conspicuously absent from the capital.
Even with all the controversy surrounding reconstruction, Philippe Girard is more concerned about the dangers of long-term aid. The associate professor of Caribbean history at McNeese State University of Louisiana says any nation would need help after a catastrophe like the Haitian earthquake. Indeed, some NGOs are providing life-saving services that the government doesn't offer (see sidebar). But Girard worries that some aid projects directed at longer-term economic relief could harm Haiti by discouraging Haitian productivity.
For example, the United States sent food relief to the hungry nation for years, but even that aid has sometimes hurt local markets: The surplus of free food suppresses Haitian farmers who can't grow anything to compete with free goods. Even boatloads of well-intentioned clothing can suppress aspirations for a manufacturing industry that could tap into a vast Haitian labor force desperately needing jobs.
Girard says a better method is to help create conditions that would encourage foreign investment and trade with the United States-even a tourism industry!-to bolster Haitian productivity instead of simply importing goods. "People tend to be pessimistic about Haiti because things have been so bad for so long," he says. "But I'm optimistic over the long term because Haiti does have some assets."
Putting those assets to work is an uphill battle. And attracting foreign investment is a difficult prospect.
A standoff over unresolved presidential elections threatens to destabilize the nation further: Haitians are waiting to see whether the government will accept a recommendation from the Organization of American States that would eliminate President René Préval's handpicked candidate, Jude Celestin, from a runoff. The country's ruling party dropped support for Celestin on Jan. 26, but it wasn't immediately clear whether Celestin would withdraw from the race. The government's delay has aroused suspicion that Préval plans to stay beyond the expiration of his second term on Feb. 7.
Haitians protested the initial results favoring Celestin in December, charging rampant election fraud. Riots and demonstrations crippled Port-au-Prince and closed the airport for two days. Rumors swirl that more demonstrations are coming, and that the city will shut down again.
That makes daily life a challenge for Haitians like Harry Derolus, a translator and driver for a handful of Christian organizations. Derolus, whose rental home collapsed in the earthquake, says he constantly wonders if the streets will close and his work will vanish. Whatever happens, he's pessimistic about long-term prospects for political reform: "Even the people in charge aren't really in charge."
Still, Derolus' hopes for Haiti are simple. As he navigates a street lined with heaps of trash and scavenging pigs, Derolus waves a hand and says, "I dream of a Haiti with clean water. I dream of a Haiti where trash is gone."
Esaie Altena has dreams, too. The 44-year-old Haitian driver had a stable life before the quake: His wife worked as a nurse and his five children attended local schools. On the afternoon of Jan. 12, 2010, news started reaching Altena as if it came from Job's servants: His house had collapsed. His possessions were gone. Mrs. Altena's workplace crumbled while she was inside. His wife of nearly 20 years was dead.
Sitting in the miles-long traffic leaving Port-au-Prince, Altena shows a cell phone picture of the children he's now raising alone: Five pretty girls in red school uniforms with pressed, white collars, arm-in-arm, smiling. He says his daughters and his church have offered life-giving comfort in his grief-even as the family sleeps in a tent on a friend's property: "My 6-year-old said to me one day, 'Oh Daddy, why are you crying? Mommy is eating with God now.'"
Altena makes sure to pay for the girls' school fees-even before saving money for a new home. He says his daughters are smart, and he's convinced that education is the only path out of poverty for them. He points to his 11-year-old and smiles: "She wants to be a writer." Tapping on a newspaper on the dashboard, he adds: "That's why I buy a paper for her to read every day."
Painful questions arise: Could these girls overcome these circumstances, go to college, and have careers or families? Altena hopes so, but he knows the chances here are slim. For now, he's encouraging their studies and remaining on a long list of visa applicants hoping to bring families to the United States: "Now I am just waiting."
Meanwhile, millions of other Haitians are waiting to see if their lives will improve. In the next issue of WORLD, we'll preview a handful of Christian organizations in Haiti with a track record of taking small-and sometimes big-steps to bring hope to a seemingly hopeless land. In many cases, they've succeeded where governments have failed.
These workers toil and strive for Haiti because they cling to the hope of the gospel, and they share the sentiment of at least one Haitian in a book of Haitian prayers called God Is No Stranger: "Lord, if we are alive today in spite of hurricanes, hunger and sickness, we should say: 'Thank you, Lord. We must be here for a purpose.'"
Valley of the shadow of death
On the barren hills just outside Port-au-Prince, hundreds of wooden crosses stand in neat rows, offering a vivid reminder of what happened last year. For days after Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake, workers brought trucks full of mangled bodies for burial in mass graves.
Less than a year later, more bodies arrived here in Titanyen for burial. This time the culprit was cholera-a disease that has killed at least 3,500 Haitians since late last year. Even as aid workers grappled with earthquake recovery and a tropical storm that flooded the epicenter in August, the cholera outbreak brought a disaster within a disaster.
Relief groups like Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross, and the International Medical Committee responded with cholera clinics and educational campaigns aimed at preventing the spread. By mid-January, the cholera outbreak was subsiding, though doctors warned that the upcoming rainy season could bring its resurgence.
Cholera is particularly brutal here: The waterborne disease spreads quickly in communities lacking clean drinking water or basic sanitation. The illness often induces severe diarrhea and often descends quickly, killing victims who don't rehydrate-sometimes within hours.
Not far from the Titanyen burial site, Samaritan's Purse operates a cholera clinic in the infamous community of Cité Soleil, a sprawling slum notorious for poverty and violence. The North Carolina--based Christian relief group has treated more than 7,500 patients at cholera treatment centers and mobile units around the region since the outbreak began. The organization pairs medical volunteers with Haitian staff, providing a mentoring relationship and improved skills for Haitian nurses.
During a morning shift in mid-January, doctors tended to 34 patients-a low number compared to the peak season last December. Inside, rows of cots reveal the disease's effects: The narrow cots include a triangular hole with a bucket underneath for patients to cope with diarrhea. Visitors must step on bleach-soaked pads to clean their shoes as they pass through the clinic's stations, and wash their hands in a bleach solution as they enter and leave the wards.
In the women's ward, Jean Catherine, a 31-year-old mother of four, sits on the side of her cot, watching a bag of IV fluid run through a tube into her arm. Catherine has been here for two days and has improved dramatically: "When I first came, I couldn't stand up." Lying next to her on the cot, Catherine's 4-month-old son squirms and coughs. The baby doesn't have cholera, but relatives brought the nursing infant to the clinic while his mother was still in the worst moments of her illness. "We have no other way to feed him," she says.
On a nearby row, Manita Dada sits next to the cot of her 9-year-old cousin, Stanley, a cholera patient who arrived three days ago. Dada says she's sitting with Stanley while the boy's mother goes to Port-au-Prince to try to sell a bag of rice for a small profit. The young woman holds a small, black copy of the New Testament and Psalms that she reads aloud while her cousin sleeps. He wakes as she reads Psalm 23.
Catherine-who lives in a makeshift house in Cité Soleil and can't afford hospital visits-is thankful that she's passed through the valley of the shadow of death. She strokes her son's leg and talks about what might have happened: "If there was no clinic, I would die."

10,853 out of 10,855 scientists agree: Global warming is happening, and humans are to blame
Virtually all of the scientific papers published in 2013 accept climate change
Lindsay Abrams
March 25, 2014
As geochemist James Lawrence Powell continues to prove, the only people still debating whether or not climate change is real, and caused by human activity, are the ones who arent doing the actual research. In an update to his ongoing project of reviewing the literature on global warming, Powell went through every scientific study published in a peer-review journal during the calendar year 2013, finding 10,855 in total (more on his methodology here). Of those, a mere two rejected anthropogenic global warming. The consensus, as he defines it, looks like this:
Powell even had to expand that itty bitty slice of the consensus pie five times for us to make it out the actual doubt about climate change within the scientific community is even tinier.
Adding this new data to his previous findings, Powell estimates that the going rate for climate denial in scientific research is about 1 in 1,000. The outliers, he adds, have had no discernible influence on science. From this, he comes up with a theory of his own:
Very few of the most vocal global warming deniers, those who write op-eds and blogs and testify to congressional committees, have ever written a peer-reviewed article in which they say explicitly that anthropogenic global warming is false. Why? Because then they would have to provide the evidence and, evidently, they dont have it.
What can we conclude?
1. There a mountain of scientific evidence in favor of anthropogenic global warming and no convincing evidence against it.
2. Those who deny anthropogenic global warming have no alternative theory to explain the observed rise in atmospheric CO2 and global temperature.
These two facts together mean that the so-called debate over global warming is an illusion, a hoax conjured up by a handful of apostate scientists and a misguided and sometimes colluding media, aided and abetted by funding from fossil fuel companies and right wing foundations.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stevie Wonder has been laying low lately when it comes to new music — in that it's been eight years since he dropped an album.
Looks like he's trying to make up for lost time. He is planning to release a pair of albums next year — and is working on a third.
He says one album will be titled "When the World Began" and the other, "Ten Billion Hearts."
Wonder says the releases will feature new songs, music he says was inspired by his "children, family, change, growth, heartbreaks."
Wonder is 63 — and filed for divorce last year.

Serena Williams, who scraped past Gisela Dulko in the Aussie Open second round, posted a new blog for USA Today in which discusses the inauguration of Barack Obama, surviving the heat from her first round match, and a couple of her major off-court activities:
You see I am doing so many things it's simply crazy. I don't know how I manage it. I love to write, and I am in the middle of writing a book about my life. Now wait — this is not a memoir with a "capital M," it is actually a mix with a motivational piece. I have gone through so many things in my yet-young life, but I love helping people and I would love to have the opportunity to motivate others. So just this week I got a package of 500 pages of the book redone that I have to reread, re-mark up and rewrite. I love to be 100% hands on, but it's so much that I think that it's intimidating me! I want people to read my book and be motivated and laugh their hearts out when they read. So every night I write a bit more and correct more of the work. It's hard work, but in the end I hope it will be worth it.So you went to fashion school for a whole two years?! Now I understand why that Nike outfit you wore in the first round was so *cough* well designed by you.
That is just one of the things that I am doing. Also this week I got a massive package from my new clothing line which I will be debuting in April on HSN called the Serena Williams Signature collection. I just did a photo shoot, and I have to go through all of the photos which is over 2,000 of the ones I like, dislike, what to use, where and more! What a task!
I am debuting a jewelry collection, a handbag collection and some apparel. I am so excited to be doing this because I love fashion and I love clothes. I went to fashion school to learn to be a better designer for more than two years! Finally it seems like my diligence is paying off. What I love most about this collection are the price points. I want them to be competitive so everyone can look good, and not pay thousands of dollars to do so!!
I feel so blessed and so honored to have the opportunity to do different things.
Hmmm - if I go to tennis camp for two years, do you think I should join the ATP World Tour? Sounds like a good plan to me.
UPDATE: Maybe she could sew some pants with her design "skills" for this fan who streaked onto ReRe's doubles match with sister V yesterday. Maybe:

Cherry Bars
2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup oatmeal
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix coarsely, as for a pie crust.
Gently press ½ of the mixture into a 9 X 13" cake pan.
Spread with 1 or 2 cans cherry pie filling.
Sprinkle the rest of the crust mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
-1 can of pie filling makes bars, 2 cans makes a great cherry dessert.
-1 qt. Door County Cherry pie filling is just about perfect.
-Or thicken a quart jar of sweetened Door County Cherries with tapioca or corn starch, to make your own pie filling!

PHOTOS: Check out this bikini bike wash that helped raise money for the Ronald McDonald House!
ST. PETERSBURG, Florida - It was a sickening sound.
The line drive that hit J.A. Happ in the head so hard the "thwack!" was heard up in the press box at Tropicana Field.
And then, silence.
Desmond Jennings' second-inning liner caromed squarely off the left side of Happ's head. Jennings ended up with a two-run triple, and Happ was taken off the field on a stretcher. The Jays went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-4.
Watch: Video of Happ's injury
More Video: Happ released from the hospital
He was upgraded overnight from fair to good condition at Bayfront Medical Center, and at about noon Wednesday, Happ was released from the hospital.
10 News Sports reporter Chris Fischer describes Happ as having "a bandage around his head and [he] was on crutches."
Happ's knee appeared injured as well, as the Blue Jays pitcher slowly stepped in to a van taking him away from Bayfront Medical Center.
Major League Baseball says Happ suffered a head contusion and a laceration on his left ear.
See Also: A tour of ex-Rays pitcher James Shields' house
Happ put out a statement Wednesday morning in which he said, "I'm in good spirits. I definitely appreciate the support of the baseball community. It's been overwhelming the messages and kind words I've been getting. I just want to thank everyone for that, and I look forward to getting back out there soon."
Happ will address the media this afternoon at Tropicana Field.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Citrus bergamia is a flowering citrus tree that thrives in Mediterranean climates and grows to be roughly 40 feet tall. Approximately 80 percent of the Citrus bergamia trees in the world are found in the Calabria region of southern Italy. The tree is also native to the south of France. Biologists believe that the species originated from natural crosses between the sweet lemon and Seville orange trees.
During the winter months, the Citrus bergamia produces white flowers and then bears fruit. This fruit is green in color with a leathery peel that is similar to a lime and has a distinctive pear shape. Bitter in taste, the fruit of the Citrus bergamia, commonly called the bergamot orange, is used to flavor Earl Gray teas and to produce marmalades. The fruit is now grown commercially in southern Turkey for use as a foodstuff.
The peel of the bergamot orange is used to produce bergamot oil, an ingredient used in beauty products. To obtain the oil, the peels are removed from the fruit and then typically boiled in water to produce a steam. The steam is passed through a distillation apparatus, which condenses the gas to the liquid oil. The popularity of bergamot oil in skin care products has led to the commercial farming of the tree in areas outside of Italy and France, particularly in Côte d'Ivoire.
Bergamot oil is a popular ingredient because of its fragrance, which gives products a spicy, yet clean scent. In 1714, bergamot oil was first used as a fragrance by Giovanni Maria Farina, the man responsible for inventing the eau de cologne in 1704. The oil is widely used in modern colognes, after shaves, perfumes, body sprays and deodorants.
The scent of bergamot oil is used in aromatherapy to combat depression and alleviate anxiety. In recent years, hospitals have begun to use bergamot oil inhalation as a pre-treatment for patients undergoing radiation for cancer. Studies have found that such patients benefit from the calming effects of the scent and experience less discomfort and anxiety during radiation treatments.
Another common use for bergamot oil is in phototherapy, a clinical skin care treatment that involves exposing the skin to sunlight. A chemical in bergamot called psoralen penetrates the outer layer of the skin and makes the DNA of the cells in the middle layer more receptive to the effects of sunlight. This primes the skin for exposure to natural or artificial sunlight, making the treatments more effective. As a photosensitizer pre-treatment, bergamot is used in phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo and mycosis fungoides tumors.
Bergamot oil has the natural ability to kill some forms of bacteria and some species of parasites. Some skin care companies include bergamot in antibacterial hand soaps and lotions. The oil can also be used as a supportive ingredient in products designed for the treatment of acne, which is often caused by bacterial infections. Bergamot essential oil is also an effective natural treatment for head lice and is a popular alternative to the use of harsh insecticides.
When applied to the skin, bergamot produces a cooling, soothing sensation and is often added to skin and hair care products like cleansers and shampoos to make them more refreshing. The oil also helps to lessen skin irritation and is found in lotions, creams and treatments for dry, sensitive and damaged skin.
While bergamot is generally a safe ingredient, some people with skin allergies may develop itching or redness following use, particularly if they are allergic to other types of citrus fruits. Irritation that develops from the oil usually fades quickly once the use of bergamot is discontinued.
One drawback to the use of bergamot in large quantities in skin care products is that it makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. As a result, the tissue becomes more vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation, causing sunburn and cellular damage to occur more quickly. With repeated use of bergamot and repeated sun exposure, the likelihood of developing premature signs of aging like wrinkles and some forms of skin cancer increases. Those who use products that contain concentrated amounts of bergamot oil or who apply the oil directly to their skin should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis to lessen these risks.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A new initiative from Dakotas-based Sanford Health hopes to prevent alcohol-exposed pregnancies and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in American Indian communities in South Dakota.
The three-year project will expand the use of a model currently used by the Oglala Sioux Tribe called Project CHOICES that has decreased binge drinking among women and minimized unintended pregnancies by encouraging contraception use.
Unlike other programs focusing on preventing alcohol exposure in women already pregnant, the Sanford program will focus on women who have not yet conceived.
Alcoholism is rampant on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, home to the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The tribe says one in four children born on the reservation suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome or fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Nothing Else Compares!, 2.11.2014
Reviewer: Mary Berdan
I discovered WalletBe many years ago through a catalog order I placed with another company. I'd gotten the Microfiber Accordion. I loved it so much I immediately wanted another in a different color. What woman only has one wallet? WalleBe's logo plate was on the one I previously ordered and with a quick search I found their website. You only need to order your first to know you'll never buy another wallet from any other company! Today, I am buying my fourth wallet. Each has been different over the years but has met my unique style and needs. I absolutely love the Croco leather wallets! This new addition will most certainly not be my last! If you want style, luxury, ease of use and a wallet that lasts far longer than cheap imitations you will never go wrong with WalletBe! And the other wallets I've bought over the years...all still beautiful and perfectly intact as the day they arrived at my door!
Reviewer: Irene Kinnunen
I discovered this excellent wallet several years ago and have used it continuously ever since. It still looks like new and functions perfectly but I notice the zipper is beginning to be a bit balky and, rather than wait till there's a problem, I'm replacing it now, because I NEVER want to be without this PERFECT wallet again!
The only one I will ever use!, 10.25.2012
Reviewer: TK
I ordered one several years ago and have not ever changed from it. I love the function, style and versitility the design offers not to mention the colors! I can carry it alone or in my purse as needed. I will never use another kind again.

Good for him. I hope he does really well there if he takes it.
Great for DMac! If that does happen, I'd like to see North Texas come to JTS.
Never thought I'd see it again. Congrats DMC!
The "27-68" record noted in the story sounds bad.

McCarney will turn that team into a competitor. Good for him.
way to go Dan still one of my favorite coaches... very personable and a all around great guy... NTX you have yourself a great coach who will want to be there.
sure you're going to have growing pains but congrats to Dan, hopefully he can use his connections from FLA
They put dow he was 27-68 at ISU. That is just wrong. His record was better than that. I think that might be his Big 12 record, not his overall record.
If he takes it, North Texas will definitely one of my "under the radar" teams I'll root for!
Good for Danny Mac
Congrats Dan (assuming you take it).
Would like to see him take that, could be a good place for some up and coming coaches to work at for CPR to hire once they prove themselves and want to step up to the next level, and bring Texas recruiting connections with them.

Life after Sandy: an RVC hotel room
(Page 3 of 3)
According to FEMA spokesman Ray Perez, the agency has not decided whether the deadline will be extended a fourth time.
"How the system works is that the state needs to make a request to FEMA, and at this point, I don't know if the state has made that request," Perez said. "If the state feels there is a need, FEMA would then review the request."
Perez said that FEMA announces the decision as soon as it's made, adding that the agency is working with the families to find housing options in case the deadline is not extended.
"I understand the difficulty of having that uncertainty," Perez said. "The important thing to realize for those who are in the program is that they can always contact FEMA to see what their housing options are and to get whatever assistance they need. We encourage them to call 1-800-621-3362 or to visit one of the disaster recovery centers."
"This hotel is like the Rock of Gibraltar," he said. "It's a place to be with people who care, with similar needs. They handle all issues beautifully."

I stayed in that hotel for awhile, a great group of hard folk. It is odd they are all trapped their because they purchased flood insurance.
Folks with out flood insurance with damage, had no money for a hotel. They got their FEMA check and immediately demo'd house themselves, mold abated it themselves, put everything to street while things were getting picked up, had DEC empty oil tanks for free then immediately started ordering materials before prices shot up.
The lack of red tape, permits, banks, nonesense and fact they had to stick to an extremely thin budget ment their houses were done in a few weeks.
Sure they have "speedbumps" on their living room floor, sure no sheet rock in garage, rusty screen doors. Warped Cabinets but they have been living in their homes since xmas.
Also folks fighting with insurance companies are slowing their own process. What is annoying is that FEMA is paying a boat load for these folks hotels and only this hotel chain is profiting. These folks should be back home
