Four Vermonters sue the U.S. government for the right to see their families in Cuba
Some might say it takes major cojones to file a lawsuit against the United States government on behalf of yourself and several million Cuban-Americans over an entrenched, half-century-old foreign policy — especially if you're neither Cuban-American nor a bona fide lawyer.
But for Jared Carter, a second-year student at Vermont Law School [1] in South Royalton, all it took was love.
The chain of events began five years ago in the historic town of Baracoa, on the southeastern tip of Cuba. Carter, 26, was a recent college graduate from Maine researching Cuba's national parks for a nonprofit group when he spotted a quiet, petite, dark-skinned girl on the beach. Eighteen-year-old Yurisleidis "Yuri" Leyvis Mora was working for a friend's catering company when Carter, a blue-eyed, baby-faced American, approached her. He spoke Spanish fairly well. The two struck up a conversation and, as Carter puts it, "one thing led to another."
After Carter returned to the United States, and for a year and a half thereafter, the couple stayed in touch, despite costly phone calls and the draconian travel restrictions imposed on the citizens of both nations. Formidable obstacles did not stop them from deciding they wanted to be together permanently.
So in April 2006, Mora said adios to her large extended family in Contramaestre and moved north to cold, mountainous central Vermont. Mora and Carter were legally married in June 2006, although today, neither wears a wedding ring. As the family's oldest granddaughter, Mora says she and Carter won't consider themselves truly joined until the day they celebrate with her elderly grandparents back in Cuba.
And there's the rub. On June 16, 2004, President Bush issued an executive order directing the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control [2] (OFAC) to draft new rules that severely curtail the ability of Cuban-Americans to visit their loved ones back in Cuba. As a result, Cuban-Americans are now limited to seeing their relatives only once every three years. Moreover, travel licenses are no longer being issued under "exigent circumstances," such as the birth, marriage, illness or death of a family member.
As it stands, Mora's family members in Cuba will now have to wait until at least April 2009 before they can see her tie the knot. Hence the urgency of the lawsuit, a class action that aims to remove the political and diplomatic barriers to travel between the United States and Cuba. Due to the deteriorating health of Mora's grandparents, Carter says the couple can't afford to wait until he's a lawyer before they sue. As he puts it, "Something can happen any day, and we fear the worst."
Carter and Mora aren't the only Vermont plaintiffs named in the suit, filed this week in U.S. District Court in Burlington. Armando Vilaseca and Maricel Lucero Keniston have joined the case as well, which is being brought with legal support from a new local chapter of the National Lawyers Guild.
For Vilaseca and Lucero Keniston, the fight is really all about the government denying them their fundamental right to family relations without due process of law. "This is like Big Brother," Vilaseca says. "The government is telling me who my family is."
Literally. Bush's 2004 executive order originated with a policy recommendation by the president's own Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba [3] (CAFC), led by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, a right-wing, Cuban-American hardliner. Ostensibly, the policy's goal is to bring an end to Fidel Castro's repressive regime and "establish democratic institutions, respect for human rights and the rule of law."
However, in the tortured logic of U.S. foreign policy — not to mention ignorance of traditional Latino culture — the regulations redefine a "family" to include only a "spouse, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent or sibling." Aunts, uncles, cousins, stepparents and other relatives who often live together under the same roof in Cuba are considered personae non grata, unworthy of any visitation rights from their American kin.
"Neither my mother nor my father were able to attend their parents' funerals," Vilaseca says. "Part of being a family is being together during good times and bad."
Maricel Lucero Keniston [4] of Weathersfield never met her father, Oscar Lucero, although she'd learned about him in school growing up in Cuba in the 1960s. Lucero was a "martyr of the revolution" who was killed in 1958 shortly before Castro took power. Today, there are statues of him and public schools named in his honor all over the Caribbean island.
In 1968, at the age of 10, Lucero Keniston left Cuba for Spain with her mother, stepfather and baby brother. Her mother rarely spoke about her father after his death, so great was the woman's grief. In fact, Lucero Keniston, whose family later resettled in the New York City area, admits she hardly ever thought about Cuba until the early 1990s, when she attended graduate school at Dartmouth College. There, while enrolled in a music class — Lucero Keniston is now a professional singer — a professor encouraged her to explore her cultural roots through Afro-Cuban music. In 1997, when family travel licenses were easier to come by, Lucero Keniston decided it was time to reconnect with her native land and the father she never knew.
"I felt like I was going back to find out who this man was, not the hero of the revolution, but the man," Lucero Keniston remembers. "That was my quest, to discover my father through his family."
Initially, Lucero Keniston assumed her trip to Cuba would be a one-shot deal, a chance to "get it out of my system," she recalls. Then she met the six of her father's 11 siblings who were still alive. Lucero Keniston spent her entire trip going from one relative's house to the next, listening to stories about her dad. "On the plane home, I couldn't stop sobbing," she recalls. "It was such an experience that all I could think of was, 'How can I get back there?'"
Lucero Keniston did, in fact, return to Cuba several times between 1997 and 2004, each time carrying medicine, money and other items her newfound relatives were lacking due to the U.S. trade embargo. Lucero Keniston was in Havana just two weeks ago with a church group — officially, she's not permitted to see her relatives on such trips — when the Cuban government announced its historic change in leadership.
"I was having breakfast and the lady of the house said, 'Oh, by the way, Castro resigned this morning, and Raul is going to be heading the nation," Lucero Keniston recalls. "I said, 'Excuse me?' I thought there was going to be more excitement, like a parade or something. But nothing happened."
Not much happened in the United States, either. Since Cuba's announcement, the U.S. government has given no indication that it intends to relax its policy of isolating the Communist nation. That means, for the foreseeable future, the family travel ban remains in full force for the more than 1.5 million Cuban-Americans now living in the United States.
Lucero Keniston fears that she'll never see her two surviving aunts again. "These people are not 'immediate family?' What the hell does that mean?" she asks. "In Latino culture, extended family is family. But somehow, the U.S. government doesn't see any value in that."
If there is some value in keeping Cuban-Americans separated from their loved ones in Cuba, the Bush administration doesn't offer up many officials to defend or explain it. Repeated phone calls and emails by Seven Days to OFAC, the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba, and the State Department's "Cuba Desk" went unanswered. Just minutes before deadline, a spokesperson with the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs called, but could only reference a CAFC website, which justifies the travel ban by claiming it "den[ies] resources and legitimacy to the [Castro] regime" and "limits the regime's manipulation of humanitarian U.S. policies."
Another State Department official who fielded a Seven Days phone call shot the question over to the U.S. Treasury Department, which oversees all travel and commerce between the two countries. (Despite the 46-year-old embargo, the United States is now one of Cuba's top 10 trading partners.) There, a public affairs official provided background information on the U.S.-Cuban travel policy, but wouldn't comment on the political rationale that provoked the president's 2004 executive order.
Others who've been to Cuba many times over the years have their own theories about the persistence of the travel ban.
Mark Schneider [5] is a Plattsburgh, N.Y., civil rights attorney with the National Lawyers Guild who's agreed to lend pro bono assistance to Carter; the law student can only represent himself until he's admitted to the bar. Schneider speculates that stiffening the travel restrictions for Cuban-Americans had more to do with Bush's re-election campaign than diplomatic discord between the two countries.
"The whole reason behind the travel restriction was always political," Schneider argues, pointing out that the policy change was announced just five months before the 2004 presidential election. "It was Karl Rove punching in zip codes and figuring out how many votes he could get for the Bush regime in south Florida." The Cuban-American population there is huge — 990,000-plus in 2004 — and tends to vote Republican because of the GOP's anti-Castro position.
Meanwhile, as Cuban-Americans contend with tougher travel regulations, anyone else who wants to go to Cuba can make the trip without too much hassle. Tens of thousands of Americans travel to Cuba each year under a "general license" with nonprofit organizations, religious groups, athletic teams, educational programs and the like. That's in addition to the unknown numbers of Americans who travel to Cuba illegally through third countries, such as Mexico and Canada.
Cash and goods also seem to flow easily between the two countries. Cuban-Americans are still allowed to send up to $1200 per year to their families back in Cuba, and American trade with Cuba is now at its highest level since 2000. According to the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council [6] in New York, the sale of U.S. agricultural goods to Cuba totaled nearly $438 million last year, up from $340 million in 2006.
Cuba's trading partners have included the State of Vermont, which in 2005 sold the country 74 dairy cows and 4000 metric tons of nonfat dry milk. (An arrangement to sell Vermont apples later fell apart.) Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie [7], who went to Cuba in 2004 and 2005, said the $6 million deal wouldn't have taken place were it not for the efforts of Armando Vilaseca, who he calls "my Magellan." The 51-year-old Cuban-American helped convince the Cuban government to allow Dubie to visit with Vladimiro Roca [8], a prominent Cuban dissident.
Vilaseca, who now lives in Westford, came to the United States in 1964 at age 8 with his sister and parents. The family was part of the first wave of Cuban immigrants who fled Castro's Communist revolution, and like most Cubans who left their homeland in the early 1960s, Vilaseca's parents assumed their departure would be short-lived. His father had been a provincial sales manager for General Electric in the town of Cienfuegos, and the family, though not wealthy, lived comfortably.
"Even my family supported the revolution at first," Vilaseca recalls, although that changed after the family's possessions, including house and car, were confiscated by Castro's government.
Vilaseca grew up in West New York, N.J., one of the "Miamis of the North," in a household where voicing any sympathy for Castro's Cuba was strictly forbidden. In 1999, Vilaseca decided to visit Cuba anyway, a decision that rankled and embarrassed his "hard-as-nails, right-wing" father. "My first trip down there," he recalls, "my father called my wife and said, 'Don't let him go! They're going to brainwash him or something!'"
But Vilaseca, who now works as a school superintendent for the Franklin West Supervisory Union in Fairfax, says that if he's learned anything from history books, it's that "you deal with conflicts by sitting down and talking things out.
"The bottom line is, the system there doesn't work because it's inherently a failed system," he adds. "You can't blame Cuban-Americans for the problems of Cuba . . . And, we can't allow a small group of Cuban-Americans in Miami to dictate our foreign policy."
Dubie, a Republican, agrees. In February 1996, when the Cuban Air Force shot down [9] two U.S. civilian aircraft, Dubie was a member of the Vermont Air National Guard [10]. He recalls sitting up all night in an F-16 awaiting orders to take off from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. That night, Dubie says, he vowed if he ever got the chance to go to Cuba, he would.
"With all due respect to the people of South Florida who are driving U.S. foreign policy, they're stuck in a 50-year time warp based on hate," he says. "We talk a lot about peace, and peace starts with families, communities and neighbors. Cuba is our neighbor."
Vilaseca says he didn't join the class-action lawsuit against the U.S. government simply because he hopes to see his elderly aunt, who is terminally ill and not expected to live much longer. He also joined for the millions of other Cuban-Americans who are denied the right to visit relatives but fear speaking out against a country that once welcomed them with open arms.
The constitutional right to familial relations is well established in federal case law, says Darius Charney, a staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights [11] in New York City. He says this class-action suit is "completely uncharted territory," because nobody has ever challenged the familial restrictions placed on Cuban-Americans.
Charney isn't involved in the Vermont lawsuit, but has handled other cases involving the legal difficulties of traveling between Cuba and the United States. He says the federal government will likely seek to prove it has a "compelling interest" in restricting the fundamental constitutional right of Americans to be with their families. To do so, Charney says, government lawyers will have to prove that the policy is "narrowly tailored" to accomplish the government's stated policy goal — namely, effecting regime change in Cuba. While that "compelling interest' may be difficult to prove, the New York lawyer predicts that the plaintiffs will also face an uphill battle.
That said, as the case gathers notoriety in the coming weeks, Carter and his plaintiffs will likely pick up some influential allies, include Carlos Lazo [12].
Lazo, a Cuban-born American, first tried to flee Cuba in 1988, but his raft was intercepted by the Cuban Coast Guard. He spent a year in prison before he and five other "balseros" or "rafters," succeeded in making the 90-mile journey through the Florida Straits in 1991. (According to one estimate, at least 30 percent of Cubans who attempt the trip never make it.)
Lazo became an American citizen and later relocated to Seattle, where he enlisted in the Washington State National Guard. In 2004, he was deployed for his first tour of duty in Iraq, where, as a combat medic, he spent six months treating Iraqi war prisoners before being assigned to a Marine regiment heading into the Battle of Falluja [13]. Upon his return, Lazo was awarded the Bronze Star for rescuing wounded Marines during the firefight.
In June 2005, during a two-week leave, Lazo tried to board a plane in Miami bound for Havana to visit one of his two teenage sons, who was hospitalized in Cuba with a serious infection. He was stopped by U.S. immigration officials, who told him that because he'd last visited Cuba in 2003, he was prohibited from returning until 2006.
A reporter in the airport overheard the conversation and wrote a story about it [14] in a Miami newspaper, which was later picked up by the international press. As a result, in October 2005, Lazo's sons were granted tourist visas to see their father in Seattle.
Although Lazo's sons have since resettled in the United States, he continues to be an outspoken critic of the travel ban, and has met with at least 150 members of Congress to make his case.
"I don't think that restricting families from going over there is going to help in any way the cause of democratization of Cuban society," Lazo says. "The family shouldn't be a tool for the improvement of the political situation over there."
Though Lazo had not heard of the Vermont lawsuit, last week he offered the plaintiffs his support. "I will help in any way I can," he says, "to serve as a witness or any other way, to finish this cruelty against the Cuban people."

I always faint a few minutes after I get a shot. One doctor said it's because I was nervous or scared, but I don't feel nervous or scared. Is it the medicine in the shot? I really want to know why this is happening and what I can do about it.* - Sunita*
Great question! Shots contain different ingredients, so it's probably not the medication in the shot that's making you faint. That means the explanation your doctor gave is the most likely cause — especially because lots of people get nervous about shots, even if they're not aware of it.
Why would you faint if you're not feeling scared? Our bodies can react in ways that seem unconnected to what we're thinking. It's possible for someone to feel nervous without realizing it.
When we're scared or upset, we can begin to hyperventilate. This kind of fast, shallow breathing lowers the amount of carbon dioxide in our bodies, and that can lead to fainting.
Next time you get a shot, try these tips: Breathe slowly and deeply before the shot and think of something relaxing. Or distract yourself — bring a friend along or play a game that requires intense concentration.

Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger cast in the agency, too!
Wada Masato (Nobuo Akagi/AkibaRed) ---- Watanabe Ent. do i mention that he is also D-BOYS?!
Hinami Kyōko (Mizuki Aoyagi/AkibaBlue) ---- Stardust Pro.
Ogino Karin (Yumeria Moegi/AkibaYellow) ---- Tambourine yes, same agency where Yumi Sugimoto belongs!
Morita Miiko (Sayaka Honiden) ---- Watanabe Ent.
^ added the Akibaranger casts, thanks
I wonder if JVC ent. still exist since their site is down.
^ you're right, so I re-searched all the actors who were listed supposedly from JVC ent, and noticed that both Suenaga Haruka & Kinomoto Minehiro are now with a company called 'Village Ent.' I don't know whether JVC is out of business or the company simply changed its name to 'Village ent'...either way, 'JVC ent' seems to be an inactive company name now, as a result I have removed JVC from the list.
While Furuhara Yasuhisa who was also originally with JVC has now moved to a different company called 'Hercules Co.'.
I have also added Fujita Touko (who played Ozawa in KR Agito) to the list, she is also signed with Village ent.
I have also added Akiyama Rina who played Mana in KR Agito & Naomi in Den-O.

Create a Scholarship
Many people choose a scholarship in the name of an individual of organization. Your gift can create an annual scholarship that will be distributed this year or an endowed scholarship fund that will continue to provide scholarship gifts for years to come.
Create a Scholarship in Four Steps
Step One: Name your scholarship.Create a named scholarship in honor or memory of:
Hannah Anderson and Carol Van Andel |
Step Two: Select the type of scholarship you wish to create.
There are two categories of named scholarship giving from which donors may choose to give: annual and endowed.
Endowed Scholarships - A scholarship endowment is a permanent fund invested by Grand Valley State University as a component of its greater endowment fund. A minimum gift or pledge of $30,000 creates a new scholarship. It can be established through an outright gift or through a pledge over a period of five years.
Annual Scholarships - These scholarship awards are created from a gift of $1,500 per year. The funds are used immediately to support students and do not carry forward into future years.
Step Three: Select an area of need/interest.
You might consider the following areas of need that are university priorities at this time:
- academic excellence/merit based
- athletic based
- need based
- first generation college students
- non-traditional students
- transfer students
Step Four: Select your payment option.
These options reflect the many ways that you can fund your newly created scholarship, such as:
- cash
- charge
- check
- stock
- securities
- estate/planned gift
Step Five: Finalize your scholarship agreement by contacting:

Local agencies, as well as agencies across the state, took part in last week's event, which was an interactive way for students to find out what could happen if they choose to take part in drugs and alcohol.
The last lawn mowing of the season is probably upon you (if you haven't stopped already).
This means you should do some winterizing maintenance to your mowers, weed eaters, tillers, and blowers.
Following a few maintenance rules now will save you time and frustration next spring when you try to start your lawnmower. There is no bigger frustration in the spring than having an overgrown lawn, time to cut it, and a mower that doesn't work.

Such species include, but are not limited to, sorghum, Sudan grass, sorghum-sudan hybrids, Johnsongrass and wild cherry. Cyanide can interfere with oxygen utilization in livestock, especially if consumed in large amounts.
Symptoms appear quickly after consumption and may include cherry red colored blood, staggering, labored breathing, spasms, foaming at the mouth, falling, thrashing, severe convulsions and death.
Congratulating someone for a job well done usually puts a smile on their face and makes the compliment giver feel good too. Last week, two 4-H clubs held their awards night and were congratulated for their outstanding achievements during the past year.
There were many smiles and proud family members in the crowd at both events.
St. Catharine's Lindsey Vinson was one of the Mid-South Conference Women's Soccer Players of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday.
The conference weekly honor is the first of Vinson's career.
Vinson recorded a shutout in her only match last week to earn Mid-South Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.
The Dawsonville senior goalkeeper collected a season-high 10 saves in the Patriots' 2-0 win over Campbellsville.
The shutout is Vinson's second of the season.
For the St. Catharine College Patriots, the 2012-2013 campaign was one that they would like to forget; the Patriots finished 9-11 in the Mid-South Conference and 13-14 overall, their worst since their first year of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) participation.
During that year, the Patriots finished with a 1-12 conference record and only 5-24 overall.
With the 2013-2014 season on the horizon, the St. Catharine Lady Patriots basketball team looks to capitalize on their NAIA National Tournament experience.
Just one year ago, the St. Catharine Lady Patriots kicked off a season that would make school history and end in a heartbreaking loss to Westminster College in the NAIA National Tournament.
With their dreams of a deep run in the national tournament dashed in the first round, the Lady Patriots enter the 2013-2014 season hungry for a return trip to the top.
The playoffs are now a reality for the WC Commanders, (4-5, 3-3) so Friday night's rivalry game against Marion County (3-6) will no longer serve as their final contest.
But that doesn't make it any less important, especiallly for the players.
"Everybody talks a lot of crap during that game," senior Dustin Harmon said. "Nobody plays soft."
Only one game in the series has been decided by more than a touchdown since 2004, adding more intrigue to the game.
WC came in with the chance to knock off the team that beat them in last year's district playoff. And to make it even sweeter, it would put them into the regional tournament.
But, in the end, the Commanderettes were unable to pull off the upset against the second-seeded Bethlehem Banshees, losing in four sets (25-23, 24-26, 26-24, 25-20).
However, Head Coach Anne Mudd couldn't have been more proud of her team in the four games, especially considering that none of the sets were decided by more than five points.
The two teams have district ties.
They don't have any ties within the region, for football or volleyball.
But when Marion County comes up on the schedule, bad blood is to be expected.
Football Head Coach Eric Sagrecy, who played in the rivalry from 1997-2000, thinks that the biggest appeal to these games is that his athletes are always ready to compete.
"The kids are always prepared for those games," Sagrecy said. "That always makes them a lot of fun, I think on both sides."

Rated 1 out of 5 by doctom Very Poor Quality
Body of jacket is good but the hood and cuffs are very poor quality. The hood is way too big and comes down over head all the way to my mouth and the cuffs have no elastic in them to keep them from falling down over your hands while working or fishing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bigfish45 Good Jacket
This the second one of these jackets I have had to purchased in the last 6 years. Only because my first one got stole last winter. They are warm, light weight and cuts the wind very well. My first one held up 5 years very well. The pockets need zippers though because anything you put in them will fall out. I advise you to order the Tall if you are over 6' or it will be too short. All in all a great jacket for the money.

Much attention has been paid to the vitamin-D boosting benefits of sunlight. But darkness, it seems, can also keep you healthy. A new study finds that women who live in places with bright illumination at night (think Times Square in New York) are more apt to develop breast cancer than those who can gaze up at the night sky and see a full array of stars. Other research suggests that rotating shift workers have higher rates of breast and prostate cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and depression. U.S. News called on experts to explain the findings and how people should respond to them.
Can nighttime exposure to light really increase the risk of breast cancer?
Although the latest research doesn't prove this, the link is certainly plausible. Animal studies have shown that having abnormally low levels of the hormone melatonin, which is typically most abundant at night, increases the rates at which cancers grow. "There are, though, still a lot of uncertainties," says melatonin researcher George Brainard, a professor of neurology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.
How could light at night lead to cancer?
The leading theory is that getting too much light at night disrupts the body's nocturnal release of melatonin into the bloodstream, causing a cascade of negative health effects like inflammation, tumor cell growth, and a suppressed immune system. The brain's pineal gland produces that hormone in the absence of light—but suppresses its production when light travels through the eyes. No one knows if there's an optimal level of melatonin or whether what matters is that the hormone's release comes at the same time each day, since it helps drive the body's circadian rhythm. "It could be a combination of all these factors," Brainard says. "We just don't know."
Should people start popping melatonin pills to prevent cancer?
"Nobody is suggesting that," Brainard emphasizes. "But there are appropriate times to take melatonin." Night shift workers might consider taking a supplement right before they go to sleep in the morning. Those who travel internationally can try it to reset their body's clock and avoid jet lag. "If I'm flying from Philadelphia to Paris," Brainard says, "I would take a dose in the evening right before takeoff to help me go to sleep earlier, and then when I arrive, I'd take it at the local bedtime." The appropriate dose ranges from 1 mg to 5 mg. Check with a doctor before taking it.
Should light exposure be minimized at night?
Experts think that's probably a good idea, though you certainly don't need to go to extremes, like wandering around a darkened house after sundown. You should, though, try to avoid bright lights, the kind you need for knitting, jigsaw puzzles, or other hobbies within three hours of bedtime, recommends Mark Rea, director of the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. And keep computer time at night to no more than 15 minutes. Sitting in the glare from the screen for prolonged periods of time could suppress the release of melatonin. On the other hand, he says, watching TV is fine since the amount of light exposure you get sitting several feet away is minimal. In the bedroom, use room-darkening shades or curtains to block out the glare from streetlights. Plus, you might want to leave on a night light in the bathroom for those 4 a.m. visits, since flipping on the main bathroom light for even a few minutes, Brainard says, could disrupt melatonin production. "I recommend using one with a red bulb," he adds, "since light at that wavelength has a lower intensity and is less likely to interfere with melatonin."
What about daytime exposure to light?
Natural daylight can be just as important as nighttime darkness in maintaining a normal circadian rhythm. Rea recommends getting outside for 15 minutes at the same time each day, preferably in the morning, so your body gets a clear signal that it's daytime, not night. "It's the regularity that's key," he says. Also, avoid sitting in a dimly lit office all day. Rea says that can confuse the body's circadian rhythm just as much as getting bright light at night.

Shoeboxed, the Netflix for receipts, gets smart tracking tools
Shoeboxed is one of the more inventive and useful services I've seen lately. It lets you organize some of the payments you make with cash (not credit cards) by sending in the huge wad of crumpled receipts you end up with from retail stores. Those receipts will automatically be scanned and plugged in to a financial tracking tool for you to manage with the site's tools, or to export to something like Quicken.
The site launched in July of last year, and this morning it is unveiling two new useful features. The first is a new analytics engine … Read more

Images: A glance at green labels
With so many "green" options appearing on everyday products, navigating the marketplace can be tricky if you're attempting to green your life.
Home Depot stamps efficient lightbulbs, low-toxic paints, and other goods as "Eco Options." SC Johnson sells Windex certified by Greenlist, the company's internal effort to reduce toxicants in its product line. Canon labels printers as "Generation Green."
Environmentalists may applaud corporate efforts to sell fewer polluting and poisonous goods and services. But some consumer watchdogs warn that the proliferation of green claims will confuse or mislead shoppers, and prefer that … Read more
'Printed' solar cells coming to windows, clothing
NEW YORK--Solar company Konarka wants to bring plastics to life with the sun.
Konarka has developed technology to create rolls of plastic that can convert light to electricity--a design that will result in solar power being embedded in everything from flashing Coke bottles to wireless sensors, the company claims.
Earlier this month, Konarka said that it has demonstrated the use of inkjet printing to manufacture its solar cells. And at a recent investor conference here, chairman and founder Howard Berke described Konarka's longer-term plans to embed small solar plastic cells in hundreds of products.
In the second half of … Read more
SpaceStation is neat so you don't have to be
As I type this post, I can hardly see my desk because of the mess of cables. My headphone wires are strewn between my speakers and keyboard, a couple of USB cables are on my left connected to the computer, and more often than not, I'm charging some mobile phone or handheld using the power strip behind my monitor.
Those who find such an arrangement an eyesore (like the colleague who sits beside me) will like the SpaceStation from BlueLounge. This desk organizer for laptop users cleverly hides cables and has an integrated four-port USB hub. Its raised feet … Read more

Notely: Neatly organizing student life
University students face a certain challenge keeping their homework, class schedules, and research developments organized among paper documents and computers in their room, home, and the lab. When epiphany strikes, it's just as likely to be recorded on the back of a crumpled sandwich receipt as it is on a Word document or online briefcase--or was that just me?
That's exactly why Tom Whitson wrote Notely.
Developed in the Netvibes Ecosystem and translated into a number of languages, Notely is positioned to meet students' organizational needs by storing notes, important links, a calendar, a class schedule, grades, and … Read more

DHAKA: The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has sent letter to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Grameenphone Tore Jonhson and Telenor Group Managing Director Jon Fredrik Baksaas terming the ongoing termination process illegal.In its letter, ITUC mentioned that the en masse termination is violating the basic rights of Grameenphone employees.ITUC also sent the copies of the letter to Labour and Employment Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain, Telecommunications Minister Raziuddin Ahmed Razu, chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) Major General ( Rtd.) Zia Ahmed and director of International Labour Organization (ILO) Andre Bagui.Regarding the issue, GP chief communications officer Kazi Monirul Kabir told banglanews, "I know nothing about the issue."In his letter, ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow said, "On behalf of over 175 million workers around the world we write to express our concern regarding alleged labour rights violations at Grameenphone. Telenor currently maintains a 55% ownership stake in Grameenphone (GP). In 2011, GP made a profit of roughly 200 million BDT, up 76% from the previous year. This year, however, GP put into place a retrenchment plan to downsize its workforce.""We acknowledge that firms may have to restructure from time to time, but we are concerned that the manner in which the restructuring has been carried out may violate the Bangladesh Labour Act of 2006," the letter added.The letter stated, "Indeed, the plan appears to target workers with seniority in the company as well as discriminate against those who have supported the formation of a union at GP. Further, we are troubled that GP appears to be resisting the formation of a trade union by promoting a non-union participation committee as an alternative, which has no power to negotiate the terms and conditions of work."Section 20 of the Bangladesh Labour Act of 2006 sets forth the rules for retrenchment of redundant workers. It provides that any worker with at least one year of service must receive at least one month's written notice explaining the reasons for the retrenchment (or payment in lieu of notice), that a copy has been sent to the Chief Inspector, and that such worker is paid the higher of 30 days' wages or gratuity for every year of service.The letter added: "GP is reportedly pressuring workers to resign and receive enhanced compensation or face termination and receive standard compensation. These workers include more senior employees, officers and members of the GP union and even some women workers on maternity leave. the dismissal of workers who are the officers of the trade union being formed or who are promoting the formation of a trade union violates Section 195 of the Labour Act."Meanwhile, world`s largest trade union federation has expressed its deep concern over the entire situation saying that concern over GP's retrenchment policy has been raised not only by the affected workers but also by the government. On July 18, 2012, the parliamentary Standing Committee on the Labour and Employment Ministry denounced Grameenphone for the retrenchment of its employees and recommended that the company abide by the labour law. Previously, the National Human Rights Commission called a hearing on the matter on July 7, to which GP failed to appear as requested. In June, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission also raised concerns with the retrenchment and asked GP for an explanation.BDST: 1455 HRS, JUL 30, 2012Edited by: Maria Salam, Asst Output Editor

Were you secretly solving differential equations while your friends were hanging out at the mall? Do you credit your luck in Vegas to a keen grasp of probability and statistics? Celebrate your knack (or lack) for numbers during Mathematics Awareness Month. This year's theme is "Mathematics and Climate"; lectures and events will focus on how math is applied to modeling the global climate, from figuring out if hurricanes are getting stronger to predicting changes in the polar ice caps. [For a math-related article on health statistics in this issue, turn to "Knowing Your Chances".]
1–4 More than 8,000 psychiatrists and other mental health professionals will convene at the World Psychiatric Association's International Congress in Florence to discuss the state of the art in evidence-based treatments for mental illness. Workshop and symposium topics will include treatments for pregnant women with chronic psychiatric disorders and the mental health effects of living in big cities.
Florence, Italy
2–4 As many as 20 percent of newly diagnosed patients with a movement disorder might suffer from an unidentified psychiatric problem instead of a flaw in the motor system. Members of the international Movement Disorder Society are neurologists, psychologists and other experts whose work is unraveling the mysteries behind these so-called psychogenic movement disorders. At the society's Second International Conference on Psychogenic Movement Disorders and Other Conversion Disorders, researchers will discuss recent developments in diagnosis and patient therapies.

3–4 Charles Darwin's ideas have forever changed the way people in Western cultures perceive themselves. As part of the bicentennial of Darwin's birth, Boston University's Colloquium for Philosophy of Science is hosting a series of lectures that includes a symposium on the Reception of Darwinism: Transcultural Differences. International speakers will discuss the ways in which different groups—including Estonians, Cuban naturalists and Brazilian intelligentsia—have adopted the influential theory.
24 Genius and madness are a historic duo. In The Soloist, Nathaniel Ayres (Jamie Foxx)—a Juilliard-trained musician—suffers from schizophrenia and is living on the streets of Los Angeles when L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey, Jr.) discovers him on a corner playing a two-stringed violin. Based on a true story and Lopez's book of the same name, this film, in theaters starting April 24, explores the nightmare of mental illness and homelessness and the redemptive powers of music and friendship.

Buy the Rarest, Most Beautiful Colored Diamonds Online
Filed under: Jewelry
Traditional clear diamonds have always been among my least favorite gems (I know, I'm an oddball) because they just seem so common and plain. I prefer color and have always leaned towards more interesting gems like emeralds, rubies, and even raw or colored diamonds. Arthur Langerman has more than 40 years of experience with precious gems and is known to many as the "Color Man," and now he's teamed up with his daughter Natacha to launch a website that makes buying rare colored diamonds "as easy as ordering a book."
Browsing Langerman-Diamonds.com reveals page after page of glittering colored diamonds for sale in every shade and hue imaginable, plus an encyclopedia of natural diamonds, a blog, a design-your-own-wedding-ring tool, and access to expert advice (they'll call you within 24 hours) if you need it.

Apup failed while trying to download WIndows XP updates
Posted 21 September 2013 - 02:13 PM
Many thanks.
Posted 21 September 2013 - 03:25 PM
Here is what you need to do:
Start apup, click options, in the address bar insert a 2 after releases, click OK
A new list will be displayed and you then select the releases you want to download, please note restart apup after you have completed your downloads and click default to return your apup to the main page.
The releases are placed in releases on a temporary basis in case there needs to be any corrections made.
BTW if you are needing to download Windows XP x86 there have been a few amendments made and these have not been uploaded to the server at this time, you need to have some patience for them to appear, notification will be posted once they are online

Posted 22 September 2013 - 10:50 AM
I did that, it seemed to clear out the temp_bin directory, then showed a completely blank list. I then went back into Options, removed the 2, and the normal list came back. When I ran the update I got back to the original error....
... failure to download:
Sure enough, those files don't exist.
This time there was also a modal dialog bix with "Permission denied in prjUpdater.mdlGeneral.createPath at line 114". That didn't happen the first time. Digging in a bit, I found that the temp_bin directory was read only. No idea how that happened but it definitely wasn't me. I had to reboot to fix it but then got a whole load more application errors. So I downloaded a fresh copy of apup, ran it, and now it wants to downloaded about 300Mb of updates. It's been running for hours now and seems to be stuck at 3.8%. There are no errors reported, but something must be wrong.
Any ideas?
Posted 22 September 2013 - 01:28 PM
I am unable to answer the problem regarding the errors you are receiving--- ViroMan is the programmer so he has the answers..
Will run my apup and redownload several releases to see if any problems occur
Posted 22 September 2013 - 01:37 PM
It didn't move, it just sat there for hours saying it was downloading wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe from download.microsoft.com. I killed it and re-started it with logging, same thing. Nothing useful in the log as far as I can see.

Posted 22 September 2013 - 01:55 PM
Will keep you informed..
Update: -- Windows XP x86 has downloaded with no problems, suggesting it may be a problem at your end..
Edited by Whatacrock, 22 September 2013 - 02:24 PM.
Posted 22 September 2013 - 04:22 PM
You can also try running apup with /verbose, that will give more logging but, I don't think it will add anything that will help for this area.
Posted 22 September 2013 - 04:38 PM
I tried again with a clean install on a different (also XP) machine and the same thing. Apup just sat there not doing anything.
Now on the original machine I am getting an Application Error "Permission denied in prjUpdater.mdlDownloader.addToDownloadQueue at line 108".
Going to try a Windows 7 machine next. Will keep you posted.
Posted 22 September 2013 - 05:49 PM
No luck on the third (Windows 7) machine either. Apup just hung after downloading about 100k of the first file, wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe
Rebooted my router, no difference.
So I looked at releases.list, which led me to autopatcher_xp_sp3_enu_20130915.script, and found the URL for wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe, which is http://download.micr...sxp-x86-enu.exe
So I tried downloading that file in Chrome, and the download stopped after about 100k, just like in Apup. No error report, Chrome just sat there doing nothing.
Then I tried it in Firefox and it downloaded that 25Mb file in about a minute.
Went back to Chrome and it also worked there.
So then I tried again in Apup and ALL the downloads went through perfectly - 301Mb in about 15 minutes.
Went to the other XP machine and now Apup works there too.
Now it could just be that microsoft.com has been having a bad day, but I've been working on this since yesterday and getting the same result, and the minute I downloaded that file in Firefox, everything started working.
I don't think we will ever know what happened here. Maybe some kind of cache problem between me and microsoft.com, which Firefox cleared out? No idea, just guessing.
I'm back to the old Unofficial/Unsupported Release problem, but not worried about that.
Thanks for all your help Whatacrock and ViroMan.
Posted 23 September 2013 - 01:48 AM
A note: Windows XP x86 and Extras have been updated and should be on the main page in the near future..
Posted 23 September 2013 - 07:49 AM
By the way, I forgot to mention that I also tried downloading wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe with Curl, and it also failed (before Firefox). If I ever get the problem again, I will get the http response headers, find out what is going on, and post back here.

I know this is an old thread, but I've got a relevant question.
I've got boxee installed on a system with an SSD, and considering the limited life of those, I'm trying to minimize the number of writes to it. Unfortunately, boxee loves to write to the application data folder on this drive all the time, even when its installed on a different drive.
Does anyone know if you can change the directory (or even just the drive letter) for boxee's application data? If not, is there a way to minimize these writes? It writes to this folder constantly, even when I'm not doing anything, mainly to a file called something like "http-cache.db-journal".

Rapha Cityscopes
Cityscopes - Photography Competition
The city can make for fascinating viewing. At times beautiful, ugly, seedy, sublime and ridiculous. Every street, building and person has a story. And this story is best discovered by bicycle.
The city rider's journey can be as perilous as it is rewarding but we all know those moments when the evening ride home gives you that scintillating feeling. A view across a bridge or down a tree-lined street, the twinkling lights at night or the morning mist lifting. The art of city riding is as visual as it is physical.
Over the next two weeks, we want you to stop (or not) and document the world you encounter whilst riding in the city. It might be the downtown skyline, a man walking his dog, chewing gum stains forming an effigy of Fausto Coppi or a freshly demolished tower block. Whatever the view, if you think it's worth capturing through a lens, take it. Then submit it to our Cityscopes photography competition. If you perceive it to have visual beauty, or to tell a story, we want to see it.
Simply post your photo on Twitter, Instagram, or Flickr along with the following hashtags:
#cityscopes, your #city or #town, and if you wish, #cycling
Example (by J. Dunn) :

Doctors are working to learn more about oral and oropharyngeal cancer, ways to prevent it, how to best treat it, and how to provide the best care to people diagnosed with this disease. The following areas of research may include new options for patients through clinical trials. Always talk with your doctor about the diagnostic and treatment options best for you.
New treatments. Many new treatments have become available as a result of improvement in the knowledge of the biology of cancer. Some of these treatments, including biologic therapy and targeted therapy, are available through clinical trials. Biologic therapy, also called immunotherapy, helps restore or stimulate the body's immune system to fight the cancer. Targeted therapies, based upon the scientific advances in learning more about the molecular biology and characterization of head and neck cancers, are leading to approaches with fewer side effects in treating this type of cancer. Therapies being researched include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antiangiogenic therapy (which prevents blood vessel formation that is needed for tumor growth), immune modulating approaches, and agents that induce cancer cell death. These and other developments are in various stages of research. Patients should talk with their doctors about clinical trials for treating oral and oropharyngeal cancer.
Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA). RFA uses heat to kill cancer cells. It is a minimally invasive treatment option that may be useful for localized tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.
Supportive care. Clinical trials are underway to find better methods of reducing the symptoms and side effects of current oral and oropharyngeal treatments to improve patients' comfort and quality of life.
Learn more about common statistical terms used in cancer research.
To find clinical trials specific to your diagnosis, talk with your doctor or search online clinical trial databases now.

Rachel Welte is the Weekend News Anchor and a General Assignment Reporter.
A scarey scene on Highway 115 near Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department said one car rear-ended another in the southbound lanes.
A fire then started, and one of the cars exploded.
Investigators said the explosion was caused by oxygen tanks in one of the cars.
They said the driver escaped, but was taken to the hospital with a spinal fracture.
As for the driver of the other car, that person was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs (DUID).He was identified as 23-year-old Joshua Edward Morgan.
A portion of Hwy 115 was closed while crews investigated.
