The Xubuntu team is glad to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 12.10, code-named Quantal Quetzal. Xubuntu 12.10 will be supported for 18 months. New features: Xfce 4.10; completely rewritten offline documentation; in the application menu, all settings-related launchers are now grouped under the Settings Manager; updated artwork, including new wallpaper, documentation looks and updates to LightDM, Greybird and Ubiquity slideshow; new versions of Catfish and Parole. Notable bug fixes: no more window traces or 'black on black' in installer.
The host that MirrorHosts is running on, I would like to decommission. I have migrated the rest of the hosts off of that machine, but am having issues getting the MirrorHosts script to run right on the new hosting box. I've been thinking about redoing it in html5/JavaScript, but am afraid that this could alienate the visitors, so I am looking for some feedback on this. Please vote in the poll, and feel free to leave additional comments.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - A 19-year-old Berkley woman who police say crashed a vehicle in Ypsilanti while driving "super drunk" and then bit an officer on the arm while resisting arrest was arraigned earlier this month on numerous charges.
At a hearing on Jan. 16, Catherine Demery had a preliminary examination scheduled for Feb. 13, according to court records.
Demery is charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, operating while intoxicated, second offense, operating with a blood alcohol content higher than .17, minor operating with any amount of BAC, two counts of resisting or assaulting a police officer, possession of marijuana, malicious destruction of property, driving with a suspended license and minor in possession of alcohol.
Michigan's "super drunk" driving law has enhanced penalties for anyone caught driving with a blood-alcohol content of .17 percent or higher.
Ypsilanti police were called to the intersection of Hamilton and Olive streets around 10 p.m. Sept. 7 after Demery crashed the vehicle she was driving, Detective Sgt. Thomas Eberts said.
"It was obvious she was pretty intoxicated at the time," Eberts said.
Demery failed sobriety tests and resisted arrest.
"She bit an officer," Eberts said.
Though he was bitten on the arm, the officer required no medical attention, according to Eberts.
It turned out the vehicle belonged to Demery's boyfriend, and she did not have permission to drive it, police said.
Officials did a blood draw. The results didn't come back for several weeks, and an arrest warrant wasn't issued until December.
Court records indicate Demery was arraigned on the charges Jan. 9. She was given a $5,000 personal recognizance bond by Magistrate Elisha Fink, according to the records.

Johannesburg - It has been a tough week for Joburgers. Having to contend with heavy rains, chock-a-block traffic and load shedding, the frustration levels have reached an all-time high.
Northcliff resident and chief sub-editor at The Star, Danni Marais, said she had spent about four hours daily in traffic this week.
"On Tuesday, it took me two hours to get to work on Ontdekkers because of the traffic caused by the rain. I ended up being an hour and a half late for work," she said.
The next day she wanted to avoid Ontdekkers, but could not use the alternative Westdene route because the dam had overflowed. She took Beyers Naude, but found three traffic lights not working.
"Yesterday, I was stuck in the office parking lot for 45 minutes. Because of the lights out, the boom gate wasn't opening," she said.
At 3pm, the power came back on and Marais moved into the traffic and the chaos. JMPD officers were chasing protesters from Luthuli House. The home-based caregivers also known as community health workers had marched to the ruling party's head office in protest over alleged non-payments.
Many city dwellers have had similar experiences.
"It has been a hectic week," said JMPD spokeswoman Inspector Edna Mamonyane. "There has been flooding, river banks have burst, small bridges have collapsed, traffic lights are not working. We tried to bring in as much manpower as we could to help with traffic control, but it has been a rollercoaster of events," she said.
Mamonyane said it wasn't just Joburg that was feeling the effects of the chaos.
"It's the whole country. Joburgers felt more frustrated maybe because we have more vehicles than anywhere else and more people coming in to do business," she said.
Power utility Eskom lifted the state of emergency and cancelled rotational load shedding, saying power supply was constrained but "stable" this morning.
They had declared a state of emergency on Thursday morning, after seven days of heavy rain left coal stockpiles at Mpumalanga power stations wet. Rolling blackouts were experienced throughout the country on Thursday.
On Friday morning, the utility's spokesman Andrew Etzinger said on Talk Radio 702 the demand had dropped significantly and systems were stable and the state of emergency was lifted at 10pm last night.
"We will be able to confirm later this morning if another emergency will be declared and whether load shedding will be necessary," he said.
Emergency services spokeswoman Nana Radebe said there was a contingency plan in place for disaster management.
"We already have a forum which includes all relevant city departments and NGOs," she said.
A flood warning was issued for the eastern parts of the country over the next five days, the SA Weather Service said.
"This is due to a warm moisture band coming in from the northern region," said forecaster Bransby Bulo.
Provinces that would be most affected included Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West.
Rain could also be expected in the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal, he said.
A 60 percent chance of thundershowers was expected on Friday and Saturday, while the chance of rain increased to 80 percent from Sunday to Tuesday.

Relaxing cruise ~ Radiance was beautiful!: Radiance of the Seas Cruise Review by AdMaven
Overall Member Rating
Relaxing cruise ~ Radiance was beautiful!
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: San Diego
My friend and I took Metro-link from her city to Union Station in Los Angeles and then Amtrak business class to San Diego. She is disabled and we found the Amtrak crew to be extremely helpful. The train ride to San Diego was very relaxing. We had views of the Pacific around Oceanside and most of the way South. I highly recommend this if you want to avoid driving and parking at the pier in San Diego. Amtrak is easily in walking distance to the pier but we took a taxi for obvious reasons.
Boarding was pretty easy and our JS was very comfortable. We had asked for twin beds and when we got to the room it was a queen. Our cabin steward, Al, came in and he said he would take care of it that afternoon, and he did. Al was fantastic. Our room was always clean and he More made sure we had ice and extra pillows. He greeted us by name every day and made our stay very special. We made sure to leave extra gratuity in the room as he did such a fantastic job!
We did MTD and it was wonderful. We made reservations every day based on what we were going to do and never had to wait for a table. We had dinner in Chops our first sea day and it was a fantastic dining experience and well worth the extra $25 per person.
We had fun in the casino (my friend won $1,000 the first night!) and we really enjoyed the "Love and Marriage" game. We didn't go to any other entertainment so I can't comment on that, nor did we use the ship's spa or fitness areas. I spent a lot of time on the balcony and enjoyed room service for breakfast a day or two, and always my coffee on the balcony. Less

Cabin review: JS1540 Junior Suite
JS 1540 has a great walk-in closet, nice unobstructed balcony and very quiet. We only heard a bit of noise the last night and it wasn't excessive. The beds were very comfortable.Read All Junior Suite (JS) Reviews >>

The glass blowing factory was a garage on a dirt alley, and the shopping in Cabo before San Jose del Cabo was to an over-priced silver jewlery store with the highest pressure salesmen I have ever encountered. We were given a few minutes to walk one block in either direction before getting back in the van to go to San Jose del Cabo, where we went to yet another specific jewelry store (with a bit less pressure).
We did take a "glass bottom boat" out to Land's End, Lover's Beach, etc and that was fun. The other highlight of the tour was going to a beautiful hotel overlooking the bay where you could also view the Pacific Ocean.

Planetary Retrogrades
by Jodie Forrest
Four planets are retrograde all month (August 2009): Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Earth temporarily overtakes them in its orbit, so they temporarily appear to be going backwards in the zodiac. As above, so below–retrogradations of the outer planets are times when their energy goes "widdershins," or backwards. I like the fanciful term "widdershins" more; it implies there is a purpose to this energy doubling back upon itself, a method in this reversal of motion. What's ruled by a retrograde planet is commonly supposed to go haywire during its retrogradation. I suspect that's more likely to happen if we either don't pay conscious and reflective attention to the affairs of that planet, or if we try to push its affairs forward too fast without such reflection.
Retrogradations are "look before you leap" times. Time to review, reflect, process, ponder, inquire about and meditate upon what that planet rules, and about however it's affecting your chart by transit.
So what do these planets rule?
Jupiter: hope, faith, optimism, vision, higher learning, temporal law, wider perspectives, resilience, possibilities, benevolence, opportunities, expansion
grandiosity, dogmatism, fanaticism, excess, inflation, a sense of entitlement.
Uranus: individuation, independence, authenticity, originality, self-sovereignty, inventiveness, genius, divergent thinking, non-conformity, rebellion, surprises
anarchy, anti-social behavior, sociopathy, contrariness, trauma, dissociation, flakiness.
Neptune: mysticism, spirituality, the divine, egolessness, boundarilessness, oneness, altered states, meditative states, the transpersonal, the transrational
delusions, illusions, co-dependence, addiction, escapism, victimization, helplessness.
Pluto: Here, it is harder to make the and/or distinctions in the descriptions above . . .
Our wounded or damaged side, where we may have wounded or can wound others, that we repress or suppress, the shadow, our personal underworld, the underworld of the shaman, that which we need to face about ourselves if we want to know ourselves as well as possible.

Ligonier Township hires Carcella as manager
Ligonier Township's new manager will begin work on Monday.
During a meeting Tuesday night, the supervisors voted to hire Terry Carcella, 59, of Unity under a two-year contract.
Attorney Michael Korns, serving in Solicitor Scott Avolio's absence, said Carcella's salary will be $61,000 a year with some benefits.
Supervisor Paul Knupp said Carcella is a "seasoned government administrator" with more than 21 years' experience. He cited some of Carcella's areas of expertise as zoning, code enforcement, land use, flood and hazard mitigation, grant-writing and union negotiations.
For 13 years, Carcella served as a zoning administrator, code enforcement officer and planner in Washington Township in Erie County, a home rule municipality with similarities to Ligonier Township in numerous areas such as size, land mass, roads, historic nature and school system, Carcella said.
He stepped away from municipal government after moving to Latrobe last year to be closer to his grandchildren. He worked as a field agent for the Knights of Columbus but decided to return to government service.
"Obviously there is a challenge here," he said. "I look upon this as a challenge, and I think I could really make Ligonier not just a good place to live but a great place to live. That's one of my goals. We're going to have a lot of changes. There's going to be a lot of goals set. We're going to correct any mistakes we had in the past and move forward."
During public comment, resident Maggie Nied inquired about whether former zoning officer Cynthia Angelo is collecting unemployment. Angelo was terminated in July 2013 after an audit by Deltron Management Consultants indicated Angelo — who had been hired as the interim secretary treasurer — had allegedly been operating an "Internet flea market" on her office computer, according to Komar. She had worked for the township for 16 years, and was earning approximately $37,000 a year.
Supervisor Tim Komar confirmed that Angelo collected a "lump sum" unemployment payment in April after several unemployment compensation hearings. He said the township "fought it very diligently," but Angelo prevailed in the hearings. The township filed a motion for reconsideration, he said, but it was denied.
He was unsure of how much money Angelo received.
Angelo said Tuesday evening that she filed for unemployment following her termination and received compensation in April. She declined to disclose the amount she received or comment further on the matter.
The next meeting is 7 p.m. Sept. 9.

A 2011 consultant's study that questioned several hundred black male students about their schooling in Dallas ISD found the majority believe their race and gender influence how they are treated by teachers.
Some of the students believe they are stereotyped and are expected not to succeed.
Despite those findings and other insight gleaned from 520 black middle school and high school boys, the report was never presented to the DISD board of trustees or made public. District administrators provided no clear reason last week why dozens of copies of the report were found in a trash bin behind a district building.
The report was not included in information The Dallas Morning News received from DISD in a freedom-of-information request for reports focusing on black students after Jan. 1, 2010. The News obtained the report independently of the school district.
DISD spokesman Jon Dahlander said that staffers who were around when the report was compiled think it was used only for internal purposes. He said those asked to fulfill the News' record request may not have been aware of the report. (Dallas News)

(I'm an EMT/FF in southern OK.) She asked if I would see if he would mind taking a picture with her. She is a huge Sooner fan, so seeing a "Boomer Sooner medic" absolutely made her day. He was so kind and never hesitated in taking a picture with my daughter. Thank you so much for having such awesome employees!! Again, tell him thank you for us a second time! Have a blessed day!

Japanese company Rakuten will buy online messaging app Viber for $900 million, a move that will double its worldwide reach. Billionaire Hiroshi Mikitani who controls the company says that "This acquisition is a totally new strategy that will take Rakuten to a different level. Developing this messaging system on our own would have been impossible".
The move will bring the 300 million users of Viber into Rakuten's global network of 200 million. One possible use of Viber is for a consumer to contact an online store while making a decision on an item. Talmon Marco, Viber's Chief Executive and Founder, said that "This combination presents an amazing opportunity for Viber to enhance our rapid user growth in both existing and new markets. Sharing similar aspirations with Rakuten, our vision is to be the world's number one communications platform, and our combination with Rakuten is an important step in that direction."
Viber is one of the top 5 messaging apps in the world today and was developed in 2010 by Viber Media. Although it has a huge user base the company is not making any money yet. As of December last year the company had a net loss of $29.5 million on revenues of $1.5 million. Mikitani is willing to buy the company at nearly a billion since he sees a huge potential in the app.
This isn't the first time that Rakuten made a big acquisition. The company has spent billions of dollars in the previous years on a buying spree. The company bought Canadian e-book firm Kobo for $315 million in 2012 and bought a minority stake in Pinterest worth $100 million. In 2012 the company also acquired Wuaki.tv, a European based video on demand streaming service.
With Viber on board the initial plan is for Viber users to be able to use their phone number and password to open a Rakuten shopping account. Games will also be coming soon on the messaging platform which will be a good source of app revenue.

A Helena citizen finished 3rd at the Shelby County Speedway in the Road Hogg race. Congrats to Tommy Murphree in car #93.
26 year College Degree
I received grief for taking 5 years to get my degree but I think Helena's Melinda Butts deserves praise for completing hers after 26 years. She had put everything first before going back and finally getting her degree with a 3.9 gpa. Searching through my blog I discovered that I mentioned her before when her son received a scholarship back in Feb. 2007. The whole family is smart.

Are there security concerns when porting from IIS to Apache?
Changing application platforms can be a daunting task. Doing it the right way requires a lot of oversight and proper management. While the transfer itself is complicated, there are also security concerns that teams should be aware of before porting any critical application.
There is one thing that stands out to me when testing Apache-based applications though. It's that accompanying...

software such as OpenSSL, PHP, MySQL and so on, are often out of date. This speaks more to a system patching and change management problem within the organization than it does to the security of the platform itself. However, it's a problem nonetheless which can create pretty big issues if it's not managed properly.
Case in point, in my Web security assessments I often come across the OpenSSL ASN.1 vulnerability on Apache systems which dates back to 2003. I often get push back from developers regarding the relevance of this flaw. However, the source code to exploit this flaw is readily-accessible on the Internet that anyone can download, compile and run to bring your Apache-based systems down. Numerous other similar vulnerabilities exist as well. The bottom line: Apache is as good as the administrators and developers who configure and maintain the system.

A big brother to the PK-Bowl, the PK-600 is a sculptural piece in luxurious black Nero Marquina marble of which only 10 are produced per year. Originally designed by Poul Kjærholm as an oversized ashtray for the town hall of Frederica in 1963, today it is produced according to the original drawings by the architect. Its smooth semi-spherical inner black marble surface softly reflects incoming light, making it as sculptural as it is functional.

My full name is Drewe Ann Roberts & My daddy Was William Guy Roberts
There were only three children that dad really talked about growing up that I remember and they are Cynthia, Guy, and Drewanne. I know there are other brothers and sisters also but I do not know their names. We also have a "baby" brother, Billy, that turned 17 in June this year, he is one year older than my oldest daughter Kendra. Dad roared with laughter about that until the tears flowed!! Billy, as far as I know, is still living with his mom in Washington state. I have fraternal twin brothers, Trevor and Tracey. Trevor lives with his wife Amy in California. Trevor helped dad move from WA to WY in 2005 when his health started to decline more rapidly and he needed more assistance. Tracey and his 3 children live in Wyoming. Dad was living with Tracey and his family when he passed away.
I remember when Guy came to Moorcroft, WY with his wife, I believe her name was Gina, and that was when she was pregnant with a daughter I think they named Crystal?? I think they visited the summer after Drewanne came. I remember they had 2 dogs that dad almost shot for chasing the chickens...LOL...I remember we had to keep them locked up in the shop. Dad loved his guns I think he probably shot anything that even came onto the property...he even accidentally shot one of my mom's pidgeons boy was she mad at him!! I swear her red hair actually lit on fire that day lol He loved to pull pranks on her and then he would laugh soooooo hard tears flowed!!
I never wanted to leave Wyoming ,after I met my little sister & My twin brohers .But i had to go back to California ! He told me how he had tred to get me when my mom and him seperated . It wasnot until last year i found out it was true! When i got back to California I told my mom what he had said ,and she told me he was lying !But just last year she recalled that i was with them when he seperated. All those years & I did not think he love me ! I wish that I could have spent more time with him !I know he loved me ! I could tell when i went to meet him for the first time in gillette , Wy. But my step mother did not like me ,So after I left Wyoming I never talked to him again.Until about 2001 I found my little sister Dannielle again and she gave me his phone number .He lived in Washington at this time and he told me about a little brother that was 10 or 11. He was not feeling very well so it was a short conversation ,but when i told him who it was i could tell he got exited ,but i could tell he was not feelin good so i let him go !! I so wish i could have been at his funeral and said goodbye ! I am now looking for more syblings .And more about him ,I want to learn as much as i can .
Dad married my mother, Joyce Geis, on May 1, 1975 in Cody, WY. They moved to a trailer in Rosette, WY where Dad worked at Amax (the coal mine there). I was born October 3, 1976 in Gillette, WY. My parents then bought 10 acres a few miles from Moorcroft, WY, within site of Keyhole Reservoir and moved a trailer onto the property. The trailer later burned to the ground due to an error in judgement leaving a torch under the trailer to thaw out frozen water pipes. It was replaced with another trailer until the house could be built. My brothers Trevor and Tracey, fraternal twins, were born June 2, 1978 in Spearfish, SD. My father built the house that we lived in over a period of a few years but it was never completely finished. We lived in Moorcroft for about 6 or 7 years, and dad worked at Homin Diesel in Gillette at that point and received his deisel mechanic certification there. In 1980 he then started his own business as a franchise of Mac Tools driving back and forth to Gillette every day to sell tools in his truck. He won salesman of the year one year with Mac Tools. During this time dad was taking classes and trying to get his pilot's license. As a child this was one of the highlights of our childhood because dad would get the cessna in the air, on the flight plan, then hand over the wheel so that we could tip the wings and go up and down quickly, mimicking a good roller coaster ride, if mom was with us she would scream histerically and he would laugh at her antics. We had some awesome memories in that little Cessna!! Then for some reason, possibly because all the money at that point was centered on the Commercial pilot's license, the Mac Tools business failed, things started to slide downhill, the house he had built mostly with his own hands was repossessed by the bank and the 10 acres with it. We moved to a trailer at a junkyard that friends who had moved to Helena, MT had vacated in Gillette, WY in 1985 where dad worked at the Campbell County Bus Barn as a diesel mechanic. Unfortunately, dad failed one of the major tests to get his pilot's license, the "hood" test, and the commercial pilot's license was never obtained. No more fun flights after that...We then moved to Hilger, MT and then Heath, MT in 1986 for a total of six months while dad worked with a construction company as a diesel mechanic, then moved to Elma, WA in the summer 1986 to live with the same friends who had moved to Helena, MT from Gillette, Jack and Vicky Grewell. Dad found a job with a logging company as a diesel mechanic working on the logging trucks. We moved to Oakville, WA when Aunt Eulala (dad's sister who was a real estate broker at the time) found a house for us to buy. We lived near Oakville at Gibson Creek until our parents seperated in the summer of 1989, later divorced in 1991. At that point Dad had already moved to Kodiak, Alaska in the spring of 1989 with his new girlfriend Jolene and her two daughters Sarah and Shannon. Billy was born in June 1992 to Dad and his wife Jolene by then. Dad and Jolene were only briefly married and dad gained custody of Billy in their divorce. Dad and Billy lived together in Centralia, WA until dad had a series of strokes (no one really knew how many because he did not go to the hospital until one of his friends found him in that condition and physically took him to the hospital) in April of 2002. He had been previously diagnosed with Diabetes and was on medications but did not take them as regularly as he probably should have and his diet had not changed as it probably should have either. He loved good flavorful food and a variety of it!!
Sandy and Don Soesbe, other long time family friends that had moved with us basically to WA from the Gillette, WY area, called mom to tell us what had happened and that dad was in the hospital. I called him to find out how he was and he seemed quite angry that we knew he was in the hospital, that we were worried about him, and did not want to speak to me further. I tried on several occasions to talk to him after that but he was very short, and eventually I gave up talking to him myself. Instead I talked to my brothers to find out how he was because they still had very good relationships with him. Eventually, Jolene got custody of Billy back due to dad's inability to take care of him anymore because dad's health had rapidly begun to decline. The strokes and diabetes were beginning to have a tremendous toll on dad's health. Trevor went out to WA and physically moved dad to Tracey's in WY in 2005 because dad had reached the point that he needed assistance and could not completely care for himself anymore. After he passed away,it was decided to cremate his remains as dad had requested. His remains were spread near Tensleep, WY.
Dad met my mom in Anaheim,Califrnia .They married after a year .They went to Las Vegas ,Nevada and got hitched it was May 23 of 68 or 69. They owned The Coranado Loung !My mom and him owned a house in Garden Grove!Mom says after I was born he fell in love with me!! they ended up losing everything ,Moved to an apartment behind the bar .Lived there for a few months and then moved to Miracle Hotsprings,in as trailer park.They
I think this is great hearing all the memories, stories and history of our father from the girls but where are the boys, especially Tracy, Trevor, and Billy, from what I am hearing they were the closest to dad. Come on guys, (no pun intended), we want to hear from you also.
2012 — Duluth, MN
I have been looking for a long time, in fact many years for the whereabouts of my brothers father, William Guy Roberts. They only knew him as very small children. I lived with Bill as a young teenager. My mother married him in the Catholic Church and then had 2 boys, William David and Kenneth Patrick. Needless to say my brothers have wondered about their birth father. I have forwarded this info onto them and hope it brings them the peace they deserve. They will be amazed to hear they have brothers and sisters. Feel free to contact me. I knew Bill Roberts pretty well, at least from a teen stand point. I knew his sisters Eulala and Wanda and spent time with his parent's Guy and Ada. I wish God's blessings on all of the children of William Guy Roberts and hope the effort will be made to reach Billy and Kenny.
a one time step daughter
I don't know whether to be happy because I know more about my father.Or sad because of the finality of knowing he has passed.Today I met my father and for me today in all reality he died.My hope now is that one of you might contact me so I can get to know him better through your experiences.To me its so ironic that for years he was only a few hundred miles fom me.He was only a few hours away when he died.My name is William David Roberts and this man was my father.My mother divorced from him when I was 4 years old.The only thing I remember of him was a white pick up[I'm not even sure thats even real] I have a picture of him on a camping trip when he was real young.And an old shotgun that my Uncle Dave said belonged to him and maybe even belonged to his father.I will post pictures soon.If anyone would like to share with me my email address is email@example.com and would gladly give you my phone number if you wanted to have a conversation with me.I hope all you read this and help me to love and understand Dad like you do.
Bill Roberts
I agree Cindy! This is awesome to see all these stories, brothers and sisters I knew were out there but have had no way to know who they are or how to find them...I am amazed! I pray at some point we can piece together his life and our family!! I will share this link on facebook for my brothers so they can join us and share some of their stories too!
Our* brothers...lol...I need to remember we are ALL brothers and sisters! Amazingly enough its gonna take some getting used to!! Approximately 9 down...possibly another 4 still yet to find us!!

5.0 stars 4 totalReview Patrick Leverty
Posted by anonymous
When I contacted his firm through the phone book, I did not know what to expect. Once we sat and he told me his experiece and his way of working I felt very confident that I had made the right choice and went ahead and hire him. He made me feel that I was not alone on the problem I was facing.
Posted by John
I had a case that was turned down by many other big names in the Reno area. Pat and his firm saw the potential value in my case and took it. I was probably a bit of a problem child for them and they mostly handled me fairly well. In the end I got a settlement that I thought was fair. In fact, compared to other cases, I probably did pretty well. They did bring in another firm into my case which may have goosed the defendants a bit, but it was their call, which turned out to be a good one. In the end, an excellent choice.
Posted by Scott
I hired Patrick because he was referred to me by a good friend.
After 5 years of perfect communication and follow through, Patrick not only had everything taken care of, but saved me over $4500.00.
He was there for 5 years returning phone calls the same day and responding to emails throughout the evening and early morning hours.
Patrick's hard work ethic and commitment to his family, community and business is what will keep me coming back time and time again.
As stressful as the situation was, Patrick made me feel like I had someone that truly cared for my case.
Posted by Todd
Pat was very professional and explained each unique situation with language I could understand. He helped steer me through my case well and guided the process in an organized and efficient manner.

In 2000, 150 applicants from Zimbabwe were allowed to stay in the UK by the authorities.
Country background:
In recent years Zimbabwe has descended from relative stability into a turbulent state as an economic crisis and often violent land reform process has robbed the country of its prosperity.
In 2002 President Robert Mugabe was declared winner of the presidential elections, considered seriously flawed by the opposition and foreign observers.
Human rights group, Amnesty International says that political violence and human rights abuses increased dramatically in the run-up to the elections.
Political dissent is often brutally repressed and press freedoms have been dramatically curtailed. Members of the Movement for Democratic Change have often been on the receiving end of violence, sometimes with the collusion of the police.
Land occupations by supporters of President Mugabe have seen many white farmers lose their land, as the government pursues a policy of forcible land reform.

Kaikoura whales are in the Japanese kill zone
Nanaia Mahuta
Maori Development Spokesperson
3 January 2014
Kaikoura whales are in the Japanese kill zone
The Humpback whales which are part of the Ngai Tahu whale watching operation at Kaikoura could be slaughtered by Japanese whalers with grenade tipped harpoons this summer, says Labour MP Nanaia Mahuta.
New Zealand marine experts says the whales, which are along with Sperm whales seen on Ngai Tahu's whale watching operations off Kaikoura, are now migrating into the Great Southern Ocean off Antarctica to feed.
"The Humpbacks whales have been included in this summer's kill schedule by the Japanese whalers. The Japanese say they want to 'harvest' 50 Humpbacks and 50 Fins whales, along with 935 Minke whales, as part of their so called scientific whaling programme
"It must be a major concern to all Pacific whale tourism ventures that these magnificent creatures are being slaughtered in in the name of some very dubious science. Already 14,000 whales have been killed in the southern oceans since 1986 and this year the Japanese have a targeted kill of 1,035 whales. So what is left for their boffins to learn about the whales?
"Now our experts are saying that killing Humpbacks whales off Australia could impact on the chances New Zealanders have to see these extraordinary mammals. For our whale watching operations there is a real economic risk as Ngai Tahu made nearly $16 million last year from whale watching .This was money that was later invested in Ngai Tahu investments from dairying to tourism.
"We should also remember as the Japanese whaling fleet begins this annual kill, it will break Australia's Federal laws which ban the slaughter of whales in their Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary," says Nanaia Mahuta.
" It is sad to think that there are whales now in the Great Southern Ocean that will soon be hunted down by whalers with harpoons, all in the name of science."

Kellie Pickler has been a vocal supporter of breast cancer awareness and research, even shaving her head in solidarity with her friend Summer, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2012. Now, she is releasing her latest album, 'The Woman I Am,' on pink vinyl on Sept. 30, with proceeds going to Gilda's House, a community-centered home for those dealing with cancer, in memory of comedian Gilda Radner.
In the past, Pickler has participated in the annual Opry Goes Pink event, held every October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She has also released a pink iPhone case and will perform later this month at Eat. Drink. Party Pink., along with singer Amy Grant, to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
"Breast cancer really hit close to home for me when my 'big sis,' Summer, was diagnosed at such an early age," Pickler explains of her involvement. "I'm happy to say she is now cancer-free. But, so many other women continue to have to fight this disease, and even more may not know they need to be aware of earlier detection than previously thought … I want to help raise awareness so we can find a cure."
Other projects being released pink vinyl albums include Jason Isbell's 'Southeastern' and St. Paul & the Broken Bones' 'Half the City.' Pre-order Pickler's pink 'The Woman I Am' here.

When Marcela Mamani starts cooking at 4 a.m. each day, the streetlights still burn bright along the dirt roads of her Lima neighborhood.
She breaks eggs into a bowl and mixes them into a steaming vat of corn and chicken stew, which she sells on the street to chilly Peruvians hungry for a hot meal. Then, with a series of firm pats, she wakes up her three children, who sleep huddled together in a single bed.
Mamani, a survivor of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), earns about $30 a day with this small business she started with a microloan and training from Socios En Salud, Partners In Health's sister organization in Peru (PIH/SES). The program helps recovered MDR-TB patients enter the workforce after two or more years of arduous treatment that leave many without jobs or support from friends and family.
"Socios En Salud gave me the opportunity to open my own business, and I had to make the most of it," Mamani said. "With little experience but a lot of desire to get ahead, I became an entrepreneur."
PIH/SES believes comprehensive health care for poor people must improve the social and economic conditions that often accompany disease. To that end, PIH/SES has worked to help 384 tuberculosis and HIV patients find employment since 2006.
Now I'm not afraid of getting out of bed. I know that there are good days and low days, but not bad days.
With a variety of partners, the program provides several ways for recovered patients to begin working: continuing education to find a skilled job, including nursing, accounting, welding, and cosmetology; counseling on job searching; and support to start small businesses, including microloans and training. PIH/SES has also worked to develop partnerships with government and private enterprises to help patients get hired after treatment.
A Dark Hole
Mamani earns a meager living, but it's a big improvement from her situation just a few years before, when she became ill with MDR-TB.
"When the sickness started, I fell into a dark hole so deep that I was afraid to keep living," said Mamani, whose husband abandoned her. "To get up every day was agony. I didn't know how to tell my children that there wasn't anything to eat. I was alone and sick."
Mamani began treatment for MDR-TB that was provided by the Peruvian Ministry of Health, but the medicines made her sick and weak, and she couldn't work. One day, after going two days "without touching a piece of food, " Mamani's neighbor told her she should give up her children to someone who could care for them. She couldn't do it: "They are my children," she said.
Just then, a community nurse from PIH/SES knocked on her door. She wanted to see how Mamani was faring with her MDR-TB treatment. She offered support designed to complement the clinical treatment she received, including visits from a community health worker, food, and psychosocial counseling.
"It's not often that people help you with no interest in getting anything in return," Mamani said. "I couldn't believe it, but they always came with food and other things for me and my children."
With clinical care and social support, Mamani completed treatment in 2011 and enrolled in the PIH/SES income generation program. Participants receive loans and training on how to operate a small business, including sessions on taxes, marketing, entrepreneurship, business management, and customer service. The average loan in the program is $775, with a monthly payment of $65. Mamani used the loan to buy the pots, pans, and plates she needed to cook.
"Now I'm not afraid of getting out of bed. I know that there are good days and low days, but not bad days," she said.
The Fight Continues
PIH/SES has been fighting MDR-TB in Peru for more than 17 years, but our role has shifted dramatically as the Peruvian government has taken on treatment of the disease.
When Partners In Health discovered an epidemic of MDR-TB in 1995 in the shantytowns of Lima, the World Health Organization called for treating only TB that could be cured with standard, first-line drugs in poor countries—letting patients with MDR-TB die. "MDR-TB is too expensive to treat in poor countries," one WHO document stated.
PIH/SES pioneered a strategy to cure patients and stop transmission of MDR-TB through accompaniment—daily visits by community health workers who deliver individualized treatment to patients in their homes. Research proved that cure rates among PIH's MDR-TB patients in Peru rivaled rates at hospitals in the United States. With this documented success, PIH and our partners pressed for reduced drug prices and changes in global policies. In 2006, the WHO released new guidelines calling for universal access to treatment for MDR-TB.
The Peruvian government now provides treatment to all MDR-TB patients, and PIH/SES continues to support the most vulnerable patients with services that help them complete the taxing treatment. In 2012, more than 75 percent of PIH/SES patients were cured, as compared to a national MDR-TB cure rate of 39 percent in 2009, according to a 2013 article in The Lancet.

Complete Release in PDF Format
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Marshall University women's tennis team claimed nine victories in day one of play, Friday at the fifth annual Kitty Harrison Invitational at the University of North Carolina campus. The Thundering Herd competed against Winthrop and North Carolina in singles and Duke and East Tennessee State in doubles competition at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center during all-day play.
The annual invitational is in honor of former North Carolina's women's tennis coach, Kitty Harrison. She led the Tar Heels to four ACC Championships from 1977-1998.
"We played a lot of tennis today, which is great for the team," Marshall's head coach John Mercer said. "Kellie picked-up an excellent victory against a ranked opponent."
The 42nd-ranked senior Kellie Schmitt (Pittsburgh, Pa.) upset North Carolina's 23rd-ranked Katrina Tsang, 7-6, 6-4, at the number one position. The 76th-ranked Austin Smith defeated senior Karolina Soor (Lindesberg, Sweden) 6-2, 6-2 at the number two. Junior transfer Deanna Bailey (McDonough, Ga.) fell to Shinann Featherston, 6-3, 7-6(5), at the three.
At the number four mark, North Carolina's Laura Reichert defeated freshman Kristina Koprcina (Split, Croatia), 7-5, 6-1. Senior Jessica Keener (Reston, Va.) took a straight-set victory over Jelena Durisic, 7-5, 6-0, playing the five spot. Jocelyn Ffriend defeated sophomore transfer Catherine Kellner (Smithtown, N.Y.), 6-2, 4-6, (10-4), at the number six position.
In singles matches against Winthrop, the Herd took four victories. Bailey took a straight-set victory over Patricia Coimbra, 6-4, 6-4, at the number two mark. Keener took a 7-6, 6-3, 10-4 decision over Sara Abutovic at the three. Kellner defeated Lisa Wilkinson, 6-1, 6-3, at the number four position. Playing the number six, Koprcina took a straight-set victory over Paula Pereira, 6-3, 6-0.
Winthrop's Elizaveta Zaytseva defeated Soor, 6-1, 4-6, 10-7 at the number one position. At the number five mark, Raich fell 7-5, 3-6, 11-9 to Sandra Herrera.
The 14th-ranked senior tandem of Schmitt and Soor took an 8-5 advantage over Duke's Reka Zsilinszka and Ellah Nze at doubles number one. Bailey and Kellner defeated East Tennessee State's pair, 8-4, while Kellner and Koprcina finished the doubles sweep with an 8-6 decision over East Tennessee State's pair of Yevgeniya Stupak and Paula Jamie.
"We hope to have another successful day of matches tomorrow," Coach Mercer added.
Thirteen teams will be competing this weekend including North Carolina, Marshall, Duke, East Tennessee State, Maryland, College of Charleston, William & Mary, Georgia Tech, Furman, North Carolina-Greensboro, North Carolina State, and Winthrop.
Among the 13 teams there will be 18 nationally-ranked singles players and eight ranked doubles teams competing this weekend.

The singer has added more details about her upcoming tour, revealing its name and some venues she will stage her gigs at.
42-year-old diva Janet Jackson has finally revealed more details regarding her upcoming tour plan in support of her new album "Discipline". Janet spoke in an interview to the press revealing some venues for her tour and also the name of it beside confirming September 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia as the starting date for her road show.
The pop singer, reveals that apart from Vancouver, her upcoming tour will include cities such as New York City, Washington D.C and also plans to raid Australia as well. Confirming her plans, she said, "It's been a while so I really want to make my rounds. I haven't been to Australia in a very long time; I can't wait to go there. There are a lot of places where I really want to stop off at, and that's the idea, that's the goal with this tour." As for the tour name, it will be called "Rock Withchu" which is taken from one of the songs on her new set. The outing itself is being produced by famous promoter company Live Nation.
In the interview Janet also reveals her excitement to get back on the road again. "I love all of that, all of that pressure, I really do," Janet explained. "It will definitely be a big production but it will definitely also be something that I've never done before, that people have never seen from me before."
Moreover, Janet also said that she supposedly has already started to tour for her 2006 album "20 Y.O." but her label asked her to work on "Displine" first before touring. "I was supposed to go on tour with the last album. We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point ... learning numbers, getting everything together, set designs. I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio," said Janet.

Gold prices will have a tough time, however, moving substantially higher until Indian demand picks back up. Jewelry demand in the country fell 3% in 2011 with net bullion gold imports of 970 tons, but compared to a 16% increase in Chinese demand, India fell woefully short. According to GFMS, the first half of 2011 saw very strong buying from India as consumers rightly anticipated higher prices and loaded up on "cheaper" gold. As gold soared in the back half of the year, demand slowed to a crawl. The World Gold Council said that jewelry demand tanked 28% in the third quarter. From July to December, gold prices in rupee terms were up 25% as the dollar appreciated against the local currency and as inflation ballooned to 10% making gold too expensive to buy. "There is a huge amount of strategy that goes into Indian buying," says Meader, who thinks if gold prices can stabilize and the rupee can gain ground against the dollar then buying could pick back up. "You do quite often see very good buying on the dip." China, in comparison, has seen robust gold demand, importing 389 tons of gold in the first 11 months of the year, but there are questions as to if this strong buying can last. China grew 8.9% in the fourth quarter, but many experts are worried about a more substantial slowdown in the months to come. "The link not as clear cut," says Meader when discussing slowing Chinese growth and gold demand. "Those with funds to invest might not be directly affected by any slowdown and if you've got equity weakness or the property market there is under pressure because of that slower level of growth you could see funds moving into gold." Meader says the lower end gold market in China, like 18 karat gold, could be effected because it directly relates to the consumer. "But if you are looking at 24 karat gold, that is much more of an investment story." The Chinese New Year kicks off at the end of January, however, and many analysts believe buying was so strong at the end of 2011 because people were buying ahead of the holiday, which means buying could slow starting in February. Gold production is also growing, reaching a record of 2,812 tons in 2011. Mine supply was up 3.8% in 2011 at 103 tons, although the gold was easily absorbed by China, which imported that much gold in November alone. Mine production is expected to continue to grow 3.2% in 2012 as the mine lives of older projects are expanded so companies can take full advantage of a higher gold price and as more recent projects ramp up to full capacity. The final problem for high gold prices is the battle between strong bar demand and weak investor demand. Bar demand was huge in 2011 -- up 26% in the second half of the year. Indian bar demand popped to a fresh record of 282 tons in 2011 and accounted for nearly a quarter of world physical bar investment, according to GFMS, while Chinese bar demand ballooned 45% to 258 tons. However, ETF and futures demand fell off a cliff in 2011. Speculative net long positions on the Comex are currently at three year lows after shedding 90,000 contracts in 2011. Global ETFs added 154 tons of gold in 2011 but that was down 57% from a year earlier. -- Written by Alix Steel in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Alix Steel.

Jerome Bixby's Final Story to Play New York in 2016
Producers of the upcoming New York production of The Man from Earth, a play adapted by film director and writer Richard Schenkman, announce their aim for a premier to be mounted Off-Broadway in the Spring of 2016.
The play, based on the screenplay by the prolific science fiction writer Jerome Bixby, is one of the most popular plays licensed by Samuel French in the international and regional markets.
Known as the "father" of Star Trek, Mr. Bixby wrote screenplays, teleplays, short stories and award winning novels under several pen names from the late 1950's until 1977. He conceived The Man from Earth in the 1960's as a short story while writing for the television series The Twilight Zone. Completing this screenplay in 1998 during his final days battling cancer makes this last of his work of his five decades of writing. Many blockbuster movies such as Alien (1979) and Fantastic Voyage (1966) were inspired by his short stories. Mr. Bixby's penned feature films such as Requiem for Methuselah (1969), Day of the Dove (1968), By Any Other Name (1968) and Mirror, Mirror (1967).
In Jerome Bixby's The Man from Earth, professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they're shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John's fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax.
The play has been presented internationally since its debut in 2008. Since being translated into over fourteen languages there have been major productions mounted in Athens, Barcelona, Edinburg, Germany, Jerusalem and Saint Thomas, with its largest production to date to be mounted this year in Seoul, Korea.
The New York Production is led by Josh Parkin-Ring (Macy's Entertainment Group, Off-Broadway Alliance, JPR Omni, Sex, Love & Salsa), Jaye Maynard (TRU Award-winning Producer, CTI) as Developmental Producer and Christin Cato (TRU, Young Patrons of the Arts Circle) as Associate. Development consideration by Ron Schnittker and The Depot Theatre. Additional details to be announce at a later date.
The production can be followed on social media at @ManfromEarthNYC or by visiting manfromearthnyc.com.

Join us for the 7th Annual New York State Veterinary Fall Conference (NYS-VC Fall), hosted by the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and the New York State Veterinary Medical Society (NYSVMS) in Ithaca, NY. Starting this year, Cornell and NYSVMS have chosen to offer two conferences to reach a wider audience of New York State veterinary professionals and para-professionals. The inaugural NYS-VC Spring was held May 16-18 in Rye Brook, NY, and had a focus on small animal medicine and surgery. As previously, NYS-VC Fall will offer lecture and laboratory options for large animal veterinarians, small animal veterinarians and licensed veterinary technicians. Keeping the fall conference at Cornell during college expansion renovations will allow us to vary our offerings between conferences, with small group discussions and laboratories focused on a range of species offered each fall.
This year's fall conference will feature an outstanding slate of speakers from across the country. Over the two day weekend, multiple tracks, with over 100 offerings will be available, including Companion Animal, Equine, Bovine, Small Ruminant and Camelid, Technician, and a dedicated Technician – Anesthesia Track. As in previous years, laboratories are offered in multiple tracks including small animal surgery, food animal, equine and technician anesthesia. New this year, the DeeDee Arrison Seminar has been incorporated into the fall conference, adding complementary medicine to our track offerings. This year's seminar focus is small animal acupuncture.
On Friday this year, special limited attendance events are planned. College research activities will be highlighted in our NO-CHARGE Clinical Investigator's Day. 20 pre-registered veterinarians are invited to attend this annual event, newly incorporated into the fall conference to listen to college residents present cutting edge research while earning CE credits.
As always, our fall, multi-species, multi-track event in Ithaca will offer excellent lectures, no charge, limited attendance laboratories, and opportunities to network with vendors and other attendees. Visit the exhibitors, talk to people around you in lectures, attend the networking events, enjoy the conference celebration dinner and then share it all when you return.
Register early to guarantee a spot in the no charge, limited attendance events and laboratories. Discounted Early Bird Registration ends September 2. If you miss the early bird deadline, you can still avoid the on-site registration fee surcharge by registering by Friday, September 26.
We look forward to seeing you in Ithaca, October 11-12, 2014!

Maria Muldaur Biography
Maria Grazia Rosa Domenica dAmato, 12 September 1943, Greenwich Village, New York City, New York, USA. Her name was changed to Muldaur when she married Geoff Muldaur, with whom she performed in the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. Although her mother was fond of classical music, Muldaur grew up liking blues and big band sounds. Joining the thriving Greenwich Village music scene in the 60s, she played in the Even Dozen Jug Band alongside John Sebastian, Stefan Grossman, Joshua Rifkin and Steve Katz. After leaving them she joined Kweskin, remaining with him until the band splintered at the end of the 60s. She then completed two albums with her husband before they were divorced in 1972. Maria Muldaur, her first solo effort, went platinum in the USA. It contained the classic single Midnight At The Oasis, which featured an excellent guitar solo by Amos Garrett. The album reached number 3 in the US charts in 1974, with the single making the US Top 10. A follow-up, Im A Woman, made the US Top 20 in 1975.
Muldaur toured America the same year, and shortly after played in Europe for the first time. The US Top 30 album, Waitress In A Donut Shop, featured the songs of contemporary writers such as Kate And Anna McGarrigle, and with the assistance of musicians including Garrett and J.J. Cale, saw Muldaur embarking on a more jazz-orientated direction. With sales of her records in decline, she was dropped by WEA Records, and subsequently concentrated on recording for smaller labels such as Takoma, Spindrift, Making Waves and the Christian label Myrrh, for whom she released 1982s There Is A Love. Muldaur has never been able to match the success of Midnight At The Oasis, but her soulful style of blues tinged with jazz is still in demand. During the late 90s and new millennium she enjoyed a critical renaissance, recording several albums for Telarc Records and latterly, with Stony Plain achieving considerable commercial sucess.
