Sundays are synonymous with relaxation and comfort. The perfect day to enjoy brunch with your girlfriends, go to the Farmers Market, go for a bike ride or hike, catch a matinée, or simply have breakfast in bed with your favorite newspaper or magazine. Simple moments that allow us to breathe, clear our heads, and recharge.
Unless I'm going out or expecting guests over, Sunday meals are quite simple and begin with le petit déjeuner. Consisting classically of tartines, croissants, or other pâtisseries accompanied by a warm beverage, this type of quick and simple breakfast is my most favorite. Having made almond biscotti the day before, all I was missing was some hot chocolate and a travel magazine.
Despite growing up in Europe, I've never really liked biscotti. Usually rock hard and way too dry for my taste, it's something that I never intended on or thought about baking at home. After all, how much better than what I'd tasted could it get? A few weeks ago, I was going through some of my cookbooks, and I came across a recipe for almond biscotti by Dorie Greenspan that just sounded so delicious and different, I had to mark it as something to try. Oh, how I'm glad I did. I could eat this all day, every day.
I'm a huge almond lover, probably because of my mom. Growing up, there were always almonds around the house. Whether in salads, rice, desserts or simply as snacks, my mother was always adding them to her dishes. As a kid, I didn't always get it; I kind of thought nuts or fruit in salads was weird. Little did I know, my mom was just ahead of her time and that years later those same ideas would be changing American cuisine.
There are very few ways, if any, to go wrong with almonds or almond extract. There's just something so comforting about the sweetness and aroma of this tiny little fruit. Combine that with a buttery, crunchy, yet moist cookie, and voilà! Lenox Almond Biscotti: a wonderful, but dangerous, treat.
I've tried these a few different ways: plain, dunked in hot chocolate or tea, dipped in semi-sweet chocolate, and accompanying ice cream and fresh fruit. Delicious, and not only easy to make, but versatile too, which makes it my kind of food. This is one of those recipes that you'll want to memorize and make over and over again. As an added bonus, they look fancy, so you're guaranteed to impress guests.

The governments of the eight major economies that form the G8 have reaffirmed their commitment to help Arab and North African countries that are transitioning to democracy. Following a meeting Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, France's foreign minister said $80 billion has been committed to five countries for the next two years.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé said what is known as the Deauville Partnership, because it was established at a meeting in the French city last spring, is not just about financial assistance to nascent democracies. He says it is about forming a global partnership that will have complementary political and economic components that are keys to sustainable peace and develpment.
"Of course, we are talking mostly about consolidation of rule of law; we are talking about also programs to help train judges, journalists; also programs to help election processes, the partnership will develop and will pursue the dialogue that it has started with the civil society," said Alain Juppé.
The group of major economies known as the G8 is comprised of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, Canada, the United States and Russia. The five countries that will be the beneficiaries of the Deauville Partnership are Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and the most recent member, Libya.
The $80 billion in financing includes $38 billion in multilateral assistance that was committed at the partnership's last meeting by international financial institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, as well as some bilateral contributions.
The political component of the partnership will focus on helping these countries as they build their democratic institutions. The economic dimension will promote broad-based and sustainable economic and financial growth, particularly through encouraging expanded trade and investment.
The Arab ministers agreed that their countries face major challenges, particularly in providing enough good jobs for their millions of young citizens, who in many cases were the catalyst for reforms and revolution and now expect results. The partnership plan will help these governments develop education and vocational training programs to help tackle illiteracy and lower unemployment.
Egypt's Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said the Deauville plan must be implemented immediately and be driven by the needs of the people.
"What is happening now in our countries is something exceptional which needs exceptional way of thinking - thinking out of the box - and exceptional measures to deal with it," said Amr. "Time [is] of the essence; our people have very high hopes and they need to see results on the ground."
He added that through the Deauville Partnership, along with other measures, these new governments can fulfill the aspirations of their people.

Public Administration & Policy Joint M.A. in Public Affairs and Policy / JD Program
Admissions to program have been suspended effective September 2009.
In conjunction with The Albany Law School, the joint M.A. in Public Affairs and Policy/J.D. program has been designed to promote integration between the fields of public administration and law. It enables students to earn both degrees in, at most, four years of full-time study, rather than the usual five. Recipients of joint M.A./J.D.s hold professional credentials for a broad range of careers in government, consulting, teaching, research, and law.
An advantage of the joint degree program is that a maximum of six courses may be applicable to both degrees. Through the joint M.A. in Public Affairs and Policy/J.D. program, a maximum of three 3- or 4-credit courses within the M.A. curricula may be transferred to be counted toward the J.D. The transfer of three 3- or 4-credit courses from the J.D. curricula will be accepted toward the M.A. All transfers are subject to the approval of the program advisor and must follow curriculum guidelines. The scheduling of the combined study is flexible. The student will spend the first year of study exclusively at Albany Law School. A plan of study for the completion of all requirements in the remaining three years should be worked out with the program advisors of both schools during the first year of study.
Students must meet the admissions standards of both The Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy and Albany Law School. Each school will evaluate the application based on its own requirements and standards. No special requirements are imposed on applicants to the joint degree program. Both schools look for a strong undergraduate record. The applicant must score well on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The Graduate Record Exam (GRE), a requirement for M.P.A. admission, will be waived in lieu of the LSAT. Applicants must have a baccalaureate degree. Applications to The Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy are accepted and reviewed throughout the year. Completed application forms must be filed with Albany Law School before March 15 of the year of proposed matriculation. Application to the dual program must be made no later than the end of the first year of study at Albany Law School.

There is some confusion over whether something can be categorized as a secret, easter egg, or myth. All info about the differences can be read here.
A secret is a part of the game that is usually not intended to be accessed. For example, the buildings where cutscenes are animated often aren't normally accessible ingame, but they can be accessed through 3rd party trainers. The Andromada plane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a real vehicle used in a cutscene, but is never made available to the player, however, there is a secret way to obtain it.

Regina Scully paints large-scale, tumultuous landscapes in acrylic on canvas or wood that occupy a space between abstraction and figuration. Aiming to capture the phenomenon of contemporary cities from the perspective of an embodied subject, so that viewers feel inside the work, Scully renders fragmented forms suggestive of architecture and the cramped spaces of urban life. To create her frenetic paintings, she adapts her process slightly with each work, building up color and line intuitively until a composition materializes. Scully has said that she intends to leave room in her work for imaginary and subconscious spaces, and that she considers her paintings to "contain myriad pathways for exploration into the personal psyche as well as the collective unconscious."

County commissioners ask officials to make cuts
Departments make changes to hold the line
LEXINGTON—Counties have a five-cent limit on how much they can raise the property tax levy from one year to the next.
Most of the initial requests that came from Dawson County departments for the 2012-13 budget would have fit under that five-cent lid.
"But the commissioners refused to raise the levy a nickel," said county clerk Karla Zlatkovsky.
So departments were asked to find areas to cut.
Some found sizeable chunks to take out. Others did what they could with smaller bites.
In the end, Zlatkovsky said the county board will consider a minimal increase in expenses and a slight raise in levy when they vote on the budget during their regular bimonthly board meeting that begins at 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
Overall, the county holds the line on spending with an increase of only $87,685 in budget expenditures, or .33%.
That's after the roads department took out big bucks intended for road repairs and the sheriff's department agreed to wait for a new roof on the 20-year-old jail.
"It's not like the commissioners don't see those things as necessary," Zlatkovsky said. "It's just that they recognize we can't do it all this year."
Other departments took things out of their budgets too, she said, they just didn't amount to as much.
"Everybody came back with some type of cut," Zlatkovsky said.
Even with a 7.5% increase in the tax asking this year, the budget is still squeaky tight, the clerk said, with no major purchases in sight.
Revenue has decreased with the lack of state aid, dropping nearly $500,000, while expenses continue to skyrocket.
"It's just like everyone else," Zlatkovsky said. "Fuel and utility costs are killing us. What we put in the budget is simply a guess."
Last year, commissioners were able to drop the levy slightly and still meet the county's needs.
This year it will increase 1.43%, or a little over half a cent per $100,000 in property value.
Property owners are likely to see more of a jump in their tax bills, though, as valuation is up nearly 7%.
"I think the budget is as conservative as it could be," Zlatkovsky said. "Nobody wants to see program cuts."

CRESTVIEW � A Crestview girl is recovering from a cancer that initially scared her parents, but is common for children and is easily treatable.
CRESTVIEW � A Crestview girl is recovering from a cancer that initially scared her parents, but is common for children and is easily treatable.
Earlier this month, Heather Gary and her husband, Kevin Mayberry, noticed something was wrong with Layla, 2, their youngest of four children, following unusual behavior and mysterious bruises found on her body.
"She always wanted to be held, and when we put her down she would start crying," Mayberry said.
Layla was taken to a pediatrician and then to a specialist at North Okaloosa Medical Center before she was transferred to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
The diagnosis devastated her parents.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL � the most common childhood cancer � occurs when bone marrow makes too many immature white blood cells that prevent healthier agents from fighting infections.
More than 6,000 cases of ALL were reported in the United States last year, according to cancer.org, the American Cancer Society�s website. Symptoms include fever and easy bruising; risk factors include exposure to radiation or X-rays before birth.
"After the doctor told us what was wrong with her, we both just broke down and started crying," Mayberry said.
Most ALL-related deaths reportedly occur in adults; this cancer quickly worsens if untreated.
However, early detection increases chances of successful treatment.
"The doctors told us that there is a 95 percent survival rate," Gary said.
Layla has received seven chemotherapy treatments, which, so far, have been successful in eliminating the leukemia from her body, her parents said.
Monday at 10 p.m., the toddler was life flighted to Children�s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston to improve her substandard oxygen levels.
"I am about 50 percent relieved, but there is still a long road to go," Gary said.
"Right now, the doctors are trying to get more red blood cells into her body," Mayberry said, adding Layla also was hooked up to a ventilator that removed fluid from her lungs after a recent case of pneumonia.
Layla's condition is fragile due to having a weak immune system.
During the ordeal, the couple has kept family and friends updated on Layla's condition through a Facebook page.
"It�s a way to keep the phone calls down to a minimum," Mayberry said.
Compounding costs
The family�s sole income source is Mayberry, who works for a Baker landscaping business. Gary is a stay-at-home mom. Mayberry travels one hour from Crestview to Pensacola to visit Layla when he isn't working.
Medicaid will cover much of the medical costs, but other costs have added up, Mayberry said.
"We have gone through $500 in food and gas within the past two weeks," he said.
Complicating matters is the family�s living situation.
Evicted from a three-bedroom home last year, the family of six � including Layla�s siblings, Cody, 11, Bailey, 10, and Cheyenne, 4 � moved in with Mayberry's parents.
Space is crowded, and doctors have told Gary and Mayberry that Layla will need her own room to recuperate.
The couple has set up an account at BBVA Compass Bank for financial assistance.
The family is currently looking for a residence with three to four bedrooms, where Layla can have her own space, Gary said.
"Our life has dramatically changed from us being a single family unit to being spread out," she said. "It has been rough, but we are making it."

Yes, that's us roasting marshmallows on candles at the dining room table! I once shared with Mindy and Kara that I used to roast tiny marshmallows on toothpicks on candles when I was younger. (One of my favorite treats!) Mindy thought it would only be appropriate to roast some on my birthday. We had originally planned to do it outside with a regular fire, but it just happened to be raining that night, so we tried it my old fashioned way. It looks to me like Mindy enjoyed it - what do you think?
Kara was also wonderful enough to bake German Chocolate cupcakes, which you can see in the foreground. So yummy!

Considering man walked on the moon for the first time in 1969, we had to figure anything could happen that year. And it did later that baseball season. The Mets, hapless and helpless for all those years, won the World Series. Just like the moonwalk, it was amazin'.
A check of our area major league teams on July 20, 1969, brought back memories, for those older than 50, anyway. Any younger and it simply might be a history lesson, but one filled with great baseball names.
•The Mets played a doubleheader that day, typical of the game back then, splitting with the Expos in Montreal. The Expos won 3-2 in the first game as Gary Waslewski went nine innings and allowed five hits. Waslewski, out of Berlin High, played for the Red Sox in 1967 when they won the American League pennant but lost the World Series to the Cardinals. By the way, time of game — 2:17, unheard of today, just like Sunday twinbills.
•The Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 with Ray Culp raising his record to 14-6. Sparky Lyle got the save, his 10th. Lyle, of course, would end up with the Yankees in one of the worst trades the Red Sox ever made (Lyle for Danny Cater). Carl Yastrzemski drove in his 70th run of the season. Boston was 11 games behind first-place Baltimore.
•The Yankees defeated the Washington Senators 3-2 in 11 innings. Old reliable Roy White had three hits as did shortstop Gene Michael, still with the Yankees all these years later. But the Yankees were 46-52, 20 games out of first place.
The managers in those games represent some of best managers or players of all time: Ralph Houk of the Yankees, Ted Williams of the Senators, Earl Weaver of the Orioles, Dick Williams of the Red Sox, Gil Hodges of the Mets and Gene Mauch of the Expos.
The day of the moon landing, readers woke up to a column in The Courant by sports editor Bill Lee on the controversy surrounding Jets quarterback Joe Namath and his ownership stake in Bachelors III, a New York City club. Namath, as famous an athlete as there was back then, was forced by commissioner Pete Rozelle to give it up. Knowing Namath, he probably mooned the commish when he heard the verdict.

Jan 13, 2011
BOSTON -- Gov. Deval Patrick is calling for major staffing changes to the state's Parole Board as a review shows institutional failures may have played a role in the board's decision to release Dominic Cinelli -- the man accused of killing Woburn police officer Jack Maguire during an armed robbery last month.
|Woburn police officers lined up before a press conference announcing Maguire's death on Dec. 27. (AP)
The governor began by accepting the resignation of the five members of the state Parole Board who voted to release him.The executive director of the parole board and the executive director of field operations are also stepping down.
Patrick says more personnel changes are planned. He cited the review, released Thursday, which said Cinelli was not properly supervised after his release.
"Ultimately, it is Cinelli and Cinelli alone who is responsible for the murder of officer Maguire," Patrick said. "But after this review I cannot say that the parole board or the parole office did all they could to ensure public safety."
The review also said too few relevant parties were notified before the vote on Cinelli -- and that the summary of facts about Cinelli received by the board didn't adequately highlight the seriousness of his crimes.
"The public has lost confidence in parole, and I have lost confidence in parole," Patrick said.
The governor also said he plans to file legislation that would require criminals with two violent felonies on their records to get the maximum sentence for a third felony.

Those arm blades are going to be removable/replaceable with some well placed rare earth magnets once I get my hands on her. Same technique will probably go into her shoulder "wings". I'm stoked about this line. I'm thinking I'm going to return some of the DOTM randoms I picked up even though I was second guessing them. Can't wait to take pics of my own tomorrow.

While there are lots of midsize sedans, if you're looking for one with all-wheel drive, your choices shrink dramatically. In fact, outside of the luxury brands, there are only two: the Ford Fusion and the Subaru Legacy. Ford offers all-wheel drive on the premium-spec Fusion, the Titanium, which is equipped with the top engine, Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four. At Subaru, all-wheel drive is standard on the Legacy, as it is on every Subaru save the BRZ. Thus, you can get an all-wheel-drive Legacy with either the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or the optional 3.6-liter six.
A Four and a Six
For this match-up, we chose the Legacy equipped with the six-cylinder. Why? Because Subaru's normally aspirated 2.5-liter four, despite being slightly larger than Ford's 2.0-liter turbo, is seriously down on power (with 173 hp) compared with the Ford four, which produces 240 hp. The Legacy's 256-hp, 3.6-liter six is a much closer match. Pricewise, the Legacy 3.6 R, even in Limited trim, is also closer to (and still cheaper than) the AWD Fusion Titanium.
Not Cheap, but Lots of Goodies
With both cars rolling in their most resplendent finery, standard fare for each includes leather, keyless entry and ignition, heated front seats, power seats, and, on the Fusion, a backup camera and Sync. To that total, our tested Subaru adds navigation, a moonroof, and a backup camera, along with some lesser bits, for a total of $32,382. The Fusion you see here is loaded up with navigation, adaptive cruise control, active park assist, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, 19-inch wheels, and metallic paint, sending the bottom-line price all the way to $37,670.
Styling is No Contest
The Ford is the more expensive car, and it looks it. If we were awarding style points, the Fusion would garner them all. The new Fusion has a very dramatic design for a midsize sedan. In contrast, Subarus have never been known as style setters, and the Legacy does nothing to upset that tradition.
Inside as well, the Fusion is very of-the-moment. Not so much in the cabin materials, which are rather ordinary, but in the large, colorful LCD screens in the instrument panel. Of course, there's MyFord Touch, with its huge screen, but there are also the configurable color screens flanking the speedometer. Compared with the Ford, the Subaru looks a generation behind. Its instrument cluster has real instruments (with only one small LCD screen that doesn't do a whole lot), its center stack uses actual buttons, and its navigation graphics look like they're from the aftermarket. The Legacy is a Blackberry to the Fusion's iPhone. Like a Blackberry, however, the Subaru might lack visual pizzazz but is actually easier to use, with its physical buttons rather than Ford's touch-screen and flat-panel design.
Life as a Passenger
In the same way, the Subaru's more upright greenhouse and boxier, sedan-like roofline isn't as rakish as the Ford's profile, but there are benefits to the driver and passengers. For the driver, the Legacy's large, upright windows provide an excellent view out. As for rear-seat passengers, the Ford just barely carves out enough space for two adults, while the Subaru has room to spare. Up front, the Legacy's wide, soft seats feel fine, but their support melts away during spirited cornering. In the Fusion, the Titanium spec buys you better seats than you get in lesser versions, and they have a lot of lateral support—something you'll appreciate when you attack some corners.
On the Road
Attacking corners is something the Ford does particularly well, and the Subaru does better than before. When the current Legacy debuted in 2010, its suspension setup prioritized pillowy ride comfort, and the car could be ponderous and floaty on the highway. A revised chassis for 2013 features a thicker rear antiroll bar and firmer springs and dampers. The suspension tune-up has quelled the float and improved cornering, and the ride quality hasn't suffered too much, although the wheels do trod heavily over bumps. We don't mind the Legacy's fairly high steering efforts, but the helm is somewhat wooden and can be lazy about self-centering.
The Fusion won't need to go in for a suspension upgrade anytime soon. Ford has done an extremely good job with this chassis. The ride is composed, and the car dives into corners with confidence. At the same time, the Fusion shrugs off broken pavement with a stoic thump—even while wearing its high-fashion nineteen-inch wheels. Finally, the Ford's electric power steering is progressive and nicely weighted.
Powertrains, All-Wheel Drive, Fuel Economy
The Legacy's 2013 updates extended to the powertrain—but only the base engine. A new version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder is more efficient and is now paired with a CVT automatic (or a six-speed manual in base models). There are no powertrain changes to the six-cylinder 3.6 R, which continues to use an automatic with only five speeds. Subaru offers three different all-wheel-drive systems on the Legacy, depending on the transmission selected. For the 3.6 R, the AWD system combines a center differential and an electronically controlled hydraulic transfer clutch; interestingly, this unit's default torque split is 44/55, so it has a slight rear-wheel bias. The Fusion shares its all-wheel-drive system with seven other Ford vehicles, including the Escape, Flex, and Taurus. In its steady state—almost all of the time—the Ford system will motivate only the front axle. Depending on driving conditions, though, the system can kick in and send between 40 and 55% of torque to the Fusion's rear axle.
Fords 2.0-liter EcoBoost four is the most potent of the three available non-hybrid powerplants. Responsive and well mannered, this is definitely the engine you want in your Fusion. Not surprisingly, its EPA figures trounce those of the Legacys much larger six. The Feds rate the Fusion at 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, versus 18/25 mpg for the Subaru. However, Fords EcoBoost engines have been criticized recently for delivering real-world mileage that falls far short of their EPA figures. Anecdotally, our experience says the same: when we take the Fusion on a four-hour day trip that is a mix of Interstate and two-lane highway, we get an indicated 25 mpg.
And the Winner Is…
The Subaru Legacy is a nose-to-the-grindstone sedan that does a good job delivering midsize sedan virtues with the added bad-weather capability of all-wheel drive. In this match-up, it tallies its points in all the more practical categories. It's more attractively priced, undercutting the Fusion by more than $3000. Its cockpit, although dowdy, is easier to see out of, and the controls are easier to use. For those who regularly carry more than one passenger—and if you didn't, why would you be buying a midsize sedan?—the Subaru's back seat is notably more spacious.
The Ford Fusion is more impressive at first glance. Larger and more stylish, it's also packed with the latest tech. And while we acknowledge that some of those aspects have their downsides, it's nice when a midsize sedan aspires to something a bit beyond just taking you to work. The Ford pulls ahead because it's also more compelling from behind the wheel. Its chassis is a standout in this segment, and it delivers lively performance from its small engine. A midsize sedan may not have to reach you on an emotional level, but we like it when it does. The Ford Fusion is our winner in the AWD midsize challenge.

DC Comics has pulled back tens of thousands of copies of "All-Star Batman and Robin" No. 10 due to a printing error that put two R-rated words into word balloons in the story. Which words? Well, one begins with "F" and the other begins with "C" — and, yes, it's that C word.
The issue was written by Frank Miller who didn't even know about the dustup until we called him. "This is the first I've heard of it. I have no idea how this awful thing happened. It's just one of those terrible and glorious things that happen time to time in publishing."
Miller, of course, prides himself on being provocative (he is the man that brought the world "Sin City" and "300"), so he let out a cynical chuckle as he mulled over the fact that he has the first true R-rated "Batman" comic book in the 69-year publishing history of the iconic DC character.
That doesn't mean he wanted it to happen. "I didn't, of course, it's a mistake. And my first reaction is simple: I want at least three copies."
Get in line, Frank. The issue was already heating up on EBay on Thursday afternoon.
When I got him on the phone, Miller was headed to Los Angeles International Airport (a busy place today) to catch a flight to Germany to promote his upcoming film "The Spirit." He was just about the only person in comics fandom that hadn't heard about the instantly collectible issues with the potty mouth. How exactly did this publishing mistake happen? It was actually all too easy.
For the uninitiated, despite the quaint title, "All-Star" is geared toward an older audience and presents an especially nasty and grim incarnation of Batman. This is not a children's book.
"That's right," Miller said, "it's not aimed at kids, but this is a confusing time right now and nuances are missed. The rules are changing all the time, especially in comics and people are trying to sort it out. But this was absolutely not intentional."
The series follows Batman in his earliest days with Robin the Boy Wonder and details the young orphan's induction into the world of crime-fighting. It's a harrowing process, more like a POW's ordeal than a training regime. At one point, the "mentoring" hero leaves the shivering and spooked youngster alone in the frigid bat cave with instructions to catch and eat rats.
There's plenty of curvy women and bone-breaking gutter brawls in this Gotham and, to convey that "street sense" of the tale, there's quite a bit of ripe language. In every issue, the graphic language was blacked-out graphically (think of the dark bars that cross out words in a redacted police report). Somewhat surprisingly, this was accomplished by putting the words on the page and then crossing them out. It sounds like they were asking for trouble to me, but Miller said it was simply the most practical way to do it.
"I wrote the actual words in the script and had them put on the page so the black bars would be the right size on the page," Miller explained. In this latest issue, the bars are there but on a few you can read right through them; they're more gray than black. "It's a simple printing error," Miller said. "That's what it is."
An error that has the visible F-word coming out of the mouth of some punks and even (gasp) young Batgirl, who always seemed like such a polite young lady in the past. I called DC Comics and exchanged some e-mails with their head of publicity, David Hyde, but they are choosing to decline comment at this time. Miller did ask me to pass on a message to DC: "Tell them not to shred the copies. Please, a single plea, just don't shred them."
The series, drawn by comics superstar Jim Lee, began in 2005. Miller said "It has been an absolute gas to work on, it's been a great, great time for me. I've written up through issue No. 13. There will be just four more after that. Or maybe five. My plan is in the end we find out where that robot tyrannosaurs in the Batcave comes from. We finally find out. That's plan. Unless of course I get fired now."

When Nokia revealed its plans for upgrading its various Lumia handsets to Windows Phone 7.5 "Tango," there was one major gap: Its flagship phone, the Lumia 900 running on AT&T's LTE network, was unaccounted for. But now AT&T is saying that its version of the Lumia 900 will be getting Tango after all.
Tango is officially called the Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh.
"Lumia users will begin to see software updates for Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh in the coming weeks, which will add several new capabilities to their devices including flip-to-silence," AT&T's Steve Conn writes in a post to the AT&T Consumer Blog. "In addition, new features - including Camera Extras and DLNA streaming [the "Play To" app] have just gone live in the Marketplace. A usage tracking counter and a new contact sharing feature are also coming in the near future. Nokia also announced that the hit Zynga titles Words with Friends and Draw Something will be coming to Windows Phone this fall - and exclusive to Lumia owners for the first 60 days."
AT&T also revealed that it will begin selling the long-awaited magenta version of the Lumia 900 on July 15, bolstering the existing cyan, white, and black versions of the popular handset. (For some reason, AT&T calls it "pink," but it's a nicer, deeper color than that.)
Here it is.

Griffin, Clippers thrash Bulls, 101-80
LOS ANGELES -- Blake Griffin scored 12 of his 26 points in the final six minutes and grabbed 10 rebounds, helping the Los Angeles Clippers rout the Chicago Bulls 101-80 on Saturday night for their fifth straight victory.
Reserve Jamal Crawford scored 17 of his 22 points in the second quarter for the Clippers, who lead the Pacific Division with a 7-2 mark. It's their best record after nine games since 2005-06, when they won nine of their first 11, finished 47-35 and came within one victory of the Western Conference finals.
Five of the Clippers' six wins have come against teams that were in the playoffs last season, including the Lakers, Spurs and world champion Miami Heat on Wednesday. Both of their losses came against clubs which failed to make the postseason -- Golden State and Cleveland.
The Clippers' reserves outscored the starters 35-18 in the first half and 53-48 for the game. Crawford, who signed with Los Angeles as a free agent in July after spending last season with Portland, leads the Clippers with 20.7 points per game and has scored 20 or more in six of his first nine contests.
The Bulls, who blew an 18-point lead in their previous game on Wednesday at Phoenix before beating the Suns 112-106 in overtime, got 22 points and 12 rebounds from Carlos Boozer on the second leg of their annual circus road trip. Luol Deng and Richard Hamilton each had 14 points.
Joakim Noah, who has been urged by Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau to take more shots, was 0 for 6 from the field and finished with four points in 30 minutes. It was the 6-foot-11 center's worst shooting effort in 339 NBA regular-season games, including six occasions when he was 0 for 4.
Crawford led Los Angeles to a 53-40 halftime lead with 17 points, including three free throws with 1:31 left in the second quarter after Kirk Hinrich fouled him on a fadeaway 3-point attempt near the Clippers' bench.
Los Angeles opened the second half with a 7-0 run and extended its lead to 71-48 on Griffin's 21-footer with 5:04 left in the third quarter. The Bulls narrowed the gap to 87-74 with two baskets off offensive rebounds and a 3-pointer by Marco Belinelli with 6:14 left in the game.
But Griffin put the Clippers back in control with two free throws, a fast-break layup and another layup -- all in a 58-second span. For good measure, the two-time All-Star connected three straight times on perimeter jumpers from 18 feet and out during a 70-second stretch to make it 99-80 with 2:07 to play.
The Bulls missed 12 of their first 15 shots, committed six turnovers in the first 7½ minutes and fell behind by 15 on Matt Barnes' 3-pointer from the left corner with 5:49 left in the half.
Chris Paul finished with 10 assists and eight points for the Clippers
NOTES: The Clippers came in with an average of 40.9 points from their bench. ... Crawford was traded to the Bulls on draft day in June 2000 by Cleveland in exchange for Chris Mihm and cash. The 13-year veteran spent his first four NBA seasons in Chicago and went through two coaching transitions, playing for Tim Floyd, Bill Cartwright and Scott Skiles -- but never making the playoffs during that stretch. The Clippers are his sixth pro team. ... The Clippers' victory put Vinny Del Negro one game over .500 in the regular season for the first time since he took over as head coach at the start of the 2010-11 campaign. He is 79-78 with Los Angeles, after guiding Chicago to back-to-back .500 seasons and two playoff berths. The Bulls are 117-40 since firing Del Negro and replacing him with Thibodeau.

|Chipset Driver (Intel) for SONY VGN-NW11ZR/S
How can You Update Sony Drivers?
There are numerous of frequent warnings as well as other messages which you may get in the driver updating procedure, many of which I've paraphrased and listed here together with tips on what to do:
Windows cannot verify that the driver is compatible: Touch or click Yes to continue installing it if you're sure this driver is the right one. Choose No if you think you might have the driver for the wrong model or something like that, in which case you should look for other INF files or maybe an entirely different driver download.
Way to Update Drivers with Device Manager
1. Find Control Panel.
Depending on your version of Windows, Control Panel is usually available from the Start Menu or the Apps screen.
What you do next depends on what Windows operating system you're using:
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, tap or click on the Hardware and Sound link.
- In Windows 7, click System and Security.
- In Windows Vista, choose System and Maintenance.
- In Windows XP, click Performance and Maintenance.
Note: If you don't see these options, your Control Panel view may be set to Large icons, Small icons, or Classic View, depending on your version of Windows. If so, find and choose Device Manager from the big collection of icons you see and then skip to Step 3 below.
2. Open Device Manager
- In Windows 10 and Windows 8, check under the Devices and Printers heading.
- In Windows 7, look under System.
- In Windows Vista, you'll find Device Manager towards the bottom of the window.
- Windows XP Only: You have a few extra steps since Device Manager isn't as easily available in your version of Windows.
From the open Control Panel window, click System, choose the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
3. With Device Manager now open, you can view a device's status, update the device drivers, or do whatever other hardware management you came here to do.
That error still there? You can Try DriverTuner
1. Download Driver Updating Tool and double click it to install
2. Scan your computer for outdated drivers. Select the ones(here you should choose SONY VGN-NW11ZR/S) you want to update and click download
3. When the download process is finished, click SETUP to install them. Voila! Your driver for SONY VGN-NW11ZR/S has been updated. Sometimes you need to restart your computer to let the drivers take effect.

For These 10 Contemporary Artists, Art Runs in the Family
Artsy Editorial
Young British Artists and identical twins Jane and Louise Wilson collaboratively explore sites rich with dark associations—ranging from former Nazi interrogation rooms to failed examples of modernist urban planning—in multi-screen video installations and photography. They are fascinated by altered states, paranoia, and lingering energy in unpeopled spaces. "A lot of our work has been about architectural, psychological sites where the sense of space and place feeds down into their own narratives, introducing a performative element in terms of a person or a persona[…]" Jane has said. Gamma (1999), for example, was a four-part video investigation of a decommissioned military base that housed missiles during the Cold War.

California forbids the sale of assault weapons. Florida mandates a three-day wait before handgun purchases. And while Texas and Kansas don't require dealers to apply for licenses, Missouri and Idaho don't regulate much of anything at all when it comes to firearms.
In America, thousands of laws, rules and regulations at the federal, state and local levels dictate who can buy, sell, possess and transport firearms; everything from hunting rifles to the type of high-tech guns found on battlefields.
Policies vary by states, even within states, with some lawmakers choosing to ease requirements as a reflection of long-held traditions about the role guns have in society.
The patchwork of laws across the nation is prompting gun control activists to push lawmakers in Washington to create a uniform, nationwide system for firearms.
"States can't do it alone," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of 800 leaders founded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
President Barack Obama is calling for a divided Congress to pass the nation's most aggressive gun control plan in generations, following the December rampage in Newtown, Conn., that claimed 26 lives, including 20 children. Police believe shooter Adam Lanza stole the guns he used at an elementary school from his mother.
The Senate has launched hearings, but some lawmakers – Republicans and Democrats from gun-friendly states – are concerned that additional restrictions might stand in the way of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
"I'm not going to fight hysteria with hysteria," said Kieran Donahue, sheriff in Canyon County, Idaho, who said he will not enforce new regulations if they pass. "Each and every day, law enforcement officers in our communities put their lives on the line to prevent gun violence and uphold the Constitution. Those men and women don't have time for hollow political posturing."
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said state laws do have an impact, but that criminals are like water and can find their way around state borders. For example, most guns used in crimes in California, which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, flow from nearby Nevada and Arizona, which have few regulations.
That means states and cities with strict gun control laws may still have more crime and violence than other jurisdictions with little regulation.
"Anything that eases the ability to get a gun is important to do on a federal level," Gross said.
Many states do not keep track of the number of guns residents legally own, so it's impossible to know how many there are. Some states keep a record of background checks performed for purchases, but not all purchases require a check.
States differ on virtually every law they can write on guns: How many handguns can someone buy? Do you need a permit for purchase? Can a person own a large-capacity magazine? Who can carry a concealed weapon? Is a buyer required to know firearm safety? Can someone carry a gun in a school, prison, courthouse, bar, church, hospital, polling place, stadium, the state capitol?
And to complicate matters further, different states use different definitions for everything, from assault weapons to a large-capacity ammunition magazine.
In Florida, sometimes derided as "the Gunshine State," lawmakers responded to the mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., in 2011 that left former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords severely wounded and six others dead, by restricting physicians from asking patients about the presence of firearms in the home and allowing employers to bring guns to work in their cars.
The state is home to the first "Stand Your Ground" law, which says a victim being attacked has a right to meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she believes it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.
The law drew international media attention last year after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in a small community outside Orlando, who claimed self-defense. Zimmerman was not initially charged, but after a public outcry, prosecutors filed second-degree murder charges.
Some states, including Missouri and Kansas, forbid local governments from enacting laws restricting the purchase or possession of firearms.
"Gun violence for the most part happens on our streets, and yet we don't have the ability to regulate guns at all," said Danny Rotert, spokesman for Sly James, the mayor of Kansas City Mo.
Obama has proposed banning assault weapons, limiting the capacity of ammunition magazines to 10 bullets, requiring background checks on all purchases and increasing penalties for gun trafficking.
But National Rifle Association president David Keene told reporters recently that the federal government needs to enforce existing laws, not create new ones.
"That's how you deal with gun crime," Keene said. "Today very few people are prosecuted under these federal laws. The laws are there and it isn't a patchwork. U.S. attorneys all over the country, in cooperation with local officials, can say to them, 'You bring me somebody who committed a crime in your jurisdiction with a firearm and I'll send them to federal prison.' That can be done today."
About 40 percent of guns used by felons nationwide were stolen or bought on the street, according to a survey released in 2002 by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. Another 40 percent were obtained from friends or family.
Arkadi Gerney, a senior fellow at Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank that often works with the White House, agrees that more can be done with existing laws, but that the federal government must act.
"One challenge is that there is an enormous amount of gun trafficking," he said. "It doesn't just impact one state. There is an appropriate role for action at many different levels."
As the debate rages in the nation's capital following the massacre at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School, some states already have begun green-lighting more gun restrictions.
New York quickly passed a package of firearm and mental health laws last month that expanded the ban on assault weapons, limited the number of bullets allowed in magazines and strengthened rules for the mentally ill. Other Democratic-leaning states, including Maryland, Colorado and Massachusetts, are considering changes, too.
But in many states where Republicans run the legislature and statewide officials can't win office pressing for restrictions, lawmakers are weighing whether to expand gun rights in the hopes of arming lawful citizens to help prevent more mass shootings.
In Texas, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst wants the state to provide firearms training for teachers and administrators, though he says school districts may choose who they want to carry weapons on campus. "We must do everything we can to protect the safety and well-being of our most precious possession – our children," he said.
And so much legislation has been filed in Idaho that both chambers of the legislature are working to consolidate dozens of ideas into a few bills.
"Everybody wants to do something," said Republican Rep. Judy Boyle.

Food allergy affects up to 6 - 8% of children under the age of 3 and 2% of adults. People often have an unpleasant reaction to something they ate and wonder if they have a food allergy. One out of three people either believe they have a food allergy or modify their or their family's diet. Thus, while food allergy is commonly suspected, health care providers diagnose it less frequently than most people believe.
This difference between the clinically proven prevalence of food allergy and the public perception of the problem is due, in part, to reactions called "food intolerances," rather than food allergies. (Food intolerance is more common than food allergy.) A food allergy, or hypersensitivity, is an abnormal response to a food due to the person having an IgE antibody to that food. The response is triggered by the immune system. However, the immune system does not cause symptoms of food intolerance, even though they may resemble those of a food allergy.
If you suspect a food allergy, call your doctor for an appointment. If you or your child have true food allergies, it is extremely important for you to identify them and prevent allergic reactions. Food allergy reactions can, in some cases, be fatal. Treatment is avoiding the food(s) after it is identified and being prepared if a reaction does occur.
For more information on food allergies, visit the Food Allergy Network at www.foodallergy.org.

Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville, KY joins Mayors for the Freedom to Marry
June 20, 2014
Today, Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville, Kentucky signed on to Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, a broad-based and nonpartisan group of mayors who believe that all people should be able to share in the love and commitment of marriage. The announcement comes just before mayors from all across the country convene this weekend for the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Dallas.
Two other Kentucky mayors are also Mayors for the Freedom to Marry - Mayor Bill Sheckles of Bardstown, and Sherry Carran of Covington. Nationally, nearly 450 mayors have pledged their support for the freedom to marry.
Mayor Fischer said today:
Louisvillians, Kentuckians, and the rest of America, have been on a journey towards support of marriage for same-sex couples. It is clear to me that discrimination of any form should not be tolerated and that committed gay and lesbian couples deserve the protections that only marriage can provide. I am proud to add my name to Mayors for the Freedom to Marry and pledge my support for fairness and family.
Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, a project of Freedom to Marry, launched in 2012 and now includes 400 mayors from 38 states across America who are making the case for marriage in their cities, with North Dakota the newest state to be represented. The effort is chaired by Kasim Reed of Atlanta; Julián Castro of San Antonio; Michael Nutter of Philadelphia; Annise Parker of Houston; Greg Stanton of Phoenix; Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles; and Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer of San Diego.
Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson applauded Mayor Fischer's support today. He said:
The values invoked by Mayor Fischer in support of the freedom to marry are the values a strong majority of Americans are embracing all over the country. Mayor Fischer, like other mayors, understands that the strength and health of any city are enhanced when all families are protected and supported. It's time the Supreme Court issuing a national freedom-to-marry ruling.
The Mayors for the Freedom to Marry range from geographically diverse cities both large and small, in states with the freedom to marry, states that are considering marriage legislation this year, and states without any relationship recognition for same-sex couples. Marriage supporters can encourage their own mayors to join Mayors for the Freedom to Marry by asking them to sign the official pledge.

Alleged Hampton gun runner to plead guiltyBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
May 04. 2014 10:24PM
BRENTWOOD — A Hampton man facing charges in New Jersey for allegedly selling firearms through an underground Internet marketplace has struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Matthew Crisafi, 38, of Hampton signed a plea agreement in U.S. District Court in New Jersey that is expected to settle charges that include selling firearms without a license, smuggling goods from the United States and conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to court records.
Terms of the deal have not yet been made public.
Crisafi, who is free on $50,000 bail, has also indicated that he wants to plead guilty in Rockingham County Superior Court to drug charges that stem from the Nov. 7 raid of his Hampton home, according to a court order.
Police allegedly found quantities of steroids and marijuana in his home.
Federal agents and Hampton police arrested Crisafi following a months-long investigation into illegal sales of firearms through a TOR network — software used to provide anonymity online.
Crisafi tried to conceal his identity both online and in person when he brokered his first sale with an undercover federal agent, investigators said. He used the post office in the town of New Castle — about 14 miles from his home — to avoid detection from law enforcement, according to a search warrant.
Crisafi allegedly agreed to sell a Smith & Wesson .380 semi-automatic handgun in May 2013 after spending weeks negotiating with a federal agent who was posing as a buyer.
The gun was being offered for sale on the underground Web marketplace "Black Market Reloaded," court records say. Investigators compare the BMR online marketplace, only accessible via specialized software, to a version of eBay or Amazon that sold weapons illegally.
Crisafi was paid $3,300 in Bitcoin for that first transaction, but unwittingly sent the gun to an address affiliated with an undercover operation being carried out by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Special Agent Ryan Landers said in a sworn affidavit.
Once Crisafi sold his first gun to his unknown buyer, he agreed to sell three more firearms, which included a Glock Model 26, a KelTec .32 caliber semi-automatic handgun, and a Norinco SKS 7.62 semi-automatic rifle.
He offered to sell all three weapons for $8,500 total, investigators said.
Crisafi, who owns an independent trucking company, arranged to ship the weapons through New Jersey en route to Thailand, according to Landers.
The deals were communicated between the agent and Crisafi through an online private messaging system. On May 29, Crisafi suggested to his new buyer that he could broker further deals, saying in part, "the possibilities are endless once we do enough business."
Crisafi also told investigators during his online chats that he would be willing to sell military-style, semi-automatic rifles to his buyer, but that they "would need to take additional precautions during shipment in order to evade detection by law enforcement officials."
He allegedly explained to the agent that his price was set in part by what BMR charged him for using the site, and exchanging Bitcoin for real money.
"You are and will be preferred when it comes to price," Crisafi allegedly wrote. "I want to make your customers happy along with a profit."

The BBC series Walking With Dinosaurs gets a kid-friendly, big-screen treatment, complete with cutesy story and dino-poop jokes, in Walking With Dinosaurs 3D. Aimed squarely at that dino-crazy demographic (7-12), it pumps a few IQ points into a kid film genre sorely in need of them.
Walking takes care to ID each new dinosaur species introduced, including factoids about what they ate and any special skills they might have had. It's downright educational. Just don't tell your kids that.
Combining striking cinematography of some of the last great remote places on Earth (Alaska) with state-of-the art dinosaur animation, Walking is another Great Migration tale — herbivores heading south at the onset of Alaskan winter, hounded by all manner of carnivores and omnivores. But thankfully, it's not just another Land Before Time.
A feeble modern-day framing device packs teenage Ricky (Charlie Rowe) and his tweenage sister Jade (Angourie Rice) off to visit their paleontologist uncle (Karl Urban) in Alaska. Jade's down with digging for dinosaurs. But Ricky figures he already knows plenty about dinosaurs already and would rather play with his phone.
Directed by Barry Cook and Neil Nightingale.
Written by John Collee.
A Fox release, playing at Cinemark Franklin Park, Fallen Timbers, and Levis Commons.
Rated PG for creature action and peril, and mild rude humor.
Running time: 86 minutes.
Critic's rating: ★★★
Then, a raven voiced by John Leguizamo gets the boy's attention and tells him the tale of the bird's ancestor, an Alexornis, a bird from the Cretaceous period. "Alex" is friends with a Pachyrhinosaurus, "Patchi," voiced by Justin Long. We follow the baby Patchi out of the nest, through a few near death experiences and into adulthood as he migrates south with his herd, tries to stick to his bigger, tougher brother Scowler (Skylar Stone) and catch the eye of the fetching Juniper (Tiya Sircar).
They endure attacks by T-Rex like Gorgosauruses, Troodons, and flying Pterosaurs, injuries and the threat of a forest fire. Leguizamo, veteran of the Ice Age movies, cracks a few jokes along the trek — "If you want to know where the food is, follow the fat guys."
Alex is a wiseacre of a narrator, rolling the film backward to deflate any claims of heroism Patchi makes in this incident or that one.
Of course there are dino-doo jokes and sibling rivalry zingers. But the biggest laughs are sight gags of the sort you might catch in a good nature film — simple behavior, simply observed.
Co-director Barry Cook came from animation (Mulan), and partnered up with BBC nature film vet Neil Nightingale (he produced Meerkats: The Movie). And while the tale they tell (the Happy Feet scribe wrote it) has dull patches that may try an adult's patience, the animation is astonishingly real and the approach is just smart enough to keep your interest.
Computer-assisted animation has moved forward by leaps and bounds since Jurassic Park and Disney's Dinosaurs, and dinosaur research is able to paint a more complete picture of how they looked, who had feathers, how they sounded and how they might have behaved.
The story they package all this in might be too childish for anybody over 12, but the research behind it and effort to pass that knowledge on to young dinosaur fans make Walking With Dinosaurs 3D as at home in the classroom as it is in theaters.

NCAM-140 expression allows visualization of glioblastoma borders and characterization of glioblastoma invasion patterns
Suche in Medline nach
|20. Mai 2009
Objective: NCAM is one major interaction molecule within the brain and it is expressed in neurons and glia. For the first time this study evaluates the relevance of NCAM in glioma prognosis estimation and for the investigation of the glioblastoma invasion zone – a tumor area that could not be analyzed until now.
Methods: We included 95 gliomas, 6 brain metastases, 7 meningiomas, 4 pituitary adenomas, and 18 controls. 35 glioblastoma specimens contained tumor tissue and peritumoral brain parenchyma. In addition, 4 nude rats with human glioblatomas were included. All tumors were stained with primary antibodies against NCAM, MMP2, CD31, Ki67, factor X and PAR1.
Results: Human glioblastomas expressed significantly less NCAM than did astrocytomas grade III and grade II. Normal brain tissue expressed most NCAM. With respect to other brain tumors, metastases had the lowest NCAM expression and differed significantly from meningiomas, gliomas and pituitary adenomas. Especially in glioblastomas, we were able to identify the tumor border zone by NCAM reactivity. That was possible even macroscopically, which strengthens the usefulness of NCAM reaction during brain tumor surgery. We could identify three major invasion patterns in human glioblastomas with all their transitions. The diffuse glioblastoma cell invasion made up the majority of cases, followed by diffusely infiltrating tumor cell nests. The minority of glioblastomas did not show a clear tumor invasion and demonstrated a relatively sharp border zone instead of this. All results could be confirmed in the nude rat mode. This makes the definite tumor border identification by anti-human and anti-rat antibodies possible. With respect to the expression of MMP2, factor X, and PAR1, we found an increased tumor cell expression within the tumor mass and the invasion area. In addition, MMP2 was significantly increased within endothelial cells of the tumor mass and its invasion area in comparison to their negativity in the peritumoral area.
Conclusions: NCAM enables the differentiation of malignant and benign gliomas as a new prognostic tool. It visualizes the border zone of glioblastomas and distinct invasion paradigms. This makes the investigation of the tumor invasion zone and its differentiation from the tumor mass and the peritumoral zone possible. By use of NCAM as a visualization tool, we found specific profiles for MMP2, the coagulation factor X, and its receptor PAR1 within glioblastomas and their neighbourhood.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Two U.S. drone strikes Wednesday killed at least five suspected al-Qaida militants and destroyed the house of one of them in a mountainous area south of the capital, Sanaa, a Yemeni security official and witnesses said.
The four were killed in the first strike while riding a vehicle in the desert area of Oussab al-Ali, about 140 kilometers (90 miles) south of Sanaa, the official said.
The second strike killed a fifth suspected jihadi, Hamed Radman. A drone bombed his house, the official said. Radman is known to security authorities as influential al-Qaida member and played a role in recruitment, he said.
A witness in a nearby village said he saw columns of smoke rising into the sky after two explosions rocked the area. He said that U.S. drones have been flying over his village for three days and are still in the sky.
The region, shaped like a triangle and located in the middle of three provinces of central Damar, southern Ibb and eastern Hodeida, has become a hideout for al-Qaida militants since the Yemeni government intensified its offensive against their former strongholds in the south over the past several months.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
In Sanaa, Yemeni authorities have raided houses of suspected al-Qaida members in the past 48 hours, arresting more than 15, including a man whose brother was killed in one of the drone strikes in southern city of Abyan the past months, official said.
The arrests are part of tightening security measures in Sanaa in the vicinity of the foreign embassies, companies and hotels.
Yemen's al-Qaida branch, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, is considered the group's most dangerous.
