Sudden onset internal error failure Win 7 v2.6.1
Todoist v2.6.1 today suddenly stopped working on Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit IE11, reporting: "Oops: Todoidt get an internal error, please let it to send us information about it, so we would be able to fix it ASAP" [Yes/No]. Has worked successfully for some time before that.
Have tried: i) uninstall/re-install; ii) delete Todoist local cache; iii) revert to v2.3; iv) clear IE cache, all without success so far.
All responses
So you have closed the app, uninstalled it, cleared the cache for IE, made sure it's updated and accepting all cookies, then re-installed the app and it's still giving the error message?
Do you have this issue on the website version when using IE?
Yes, I have done all those steps. I do not have the error when using the website version in IE 11 or Firefox (or Android).
This problem started suddenly for an installed version Win 7 app version of Todoist that had been working for some time (months).
Many thanks.
Please tell me - can you associate any particular event to the time it started to happen? For example - the day we launched Todoist Next or right after you've shared a project or after you've installed certain other software?
Best regards,
I see now that it is correlated with the Todoist Next launch (if the release date was 1/21/14 or close).
I have also now managed to revert to v2.3 by undoing some application properties that were needed for v2.6.1 (run as administrator in Win 7 compatibility mode) but are not needed for v2.3. However, the problem remains with the latest Win 7 Todoist app revision.
I have a working app for Windows now (v2.3).
Many thanks.

In the country; you will be able to enjoy some of the best that modern life has to offer and that you will be able to experience the fastest and most efficient services that a highly developed country can give.
In order for the citizens of highly developed countries to continuously enjoy these services, it is essential that they pay taxes as these fees that citizens pay are the major sources of income of the country. A citizen must pay taxes in order for the government to have the funds needed in order to maintain the services that citizens can take advantage of.
Now tax rates in different countries can widely vary but it has been a common trend that countries that are highly developed also usually have high and expensive taxes too due to the fact that the country will need to spend more money in order to maintain the high level of services that are being offered.
The problem that a lot of people have when filing their tax return in Australia is that they can go through a lot of difficulty and hassle when doing so. For some people, filling up paperwork and having to go to different government agencies for them to settle their taxes and get their tax refunds can take quite a lot of time which they do not have due to their busy schedules.

Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro (UAAAN) is a federal public university in Mexico dedicated to the Agricultural and Silvicultural sciences, and related disciplines (Entomology, Botany, Plant Genetics, etc.). It is located a few kilometers to the south of Saltillo, in the Mexican state of Coahuila. There is also a campus in Torreón, Coahuila. It is also called "Universidad Antonio Narro" for short, or simply, "La Narro". In 2008 the UAAAN has an enrollment of about 3,500 students in both campuses, all in agriculture and related sciences. Antonio Narro is the highest-ranked agricultural university in Mexico and is ranked 12th overall amonghigher education institutions in the country.
Actually UAAAN is the primary and the principal University in Mexico to providing human resources, and skills and technology, required for the sustainable development of its agriculture, defined broadly encompassing all production activities based on land and water. Research and education at our university spans the range from genes and molecules to biological diversity, animal health, sustainable forestry and food supply.
UAAAN provide an important public service, which dates back to University origins as an agricultural institution on 1923. Today, through its social service programs and industry partnerships, UAAAN disseminates research results and translates scientific discoveries into practical knowledge and technological innovations that benefit Coahuila and Mexico.
The Antonio Narro Agrarian Autonomous University (UAAAN) was founded on March 3th, 1923, after the philanthropist Antonio Narro Rodríguez donated his Buenavista Estate for a public agricultural university, which became the "Regional School of Agriculture Antonio Narro". The main objective of this university consisted on preparing young people in a professional discipline of agricultural work in the field. Two months before dying, Antonio Narro Rodriguez had bequeathed a substantial part of its personal fortune: his property in Buenavista and $22,000 Mexican pesos, the value of six urban properties in the city of Saltillo, for constituting a school of agriculture.
Over the years, the university college changed its name several times. In 1938, it became the Superior School of Agriculture (Escuela Superior de Agricultura); by 1957, then became a founding institution of the University of Coahuila; and finally, in 1975, it became Antonio Narro Agrarian Autonomous University by a decree of the Coahuilan state congress. In 2006, it became in a federal university by a decree of Mexican Congress.
Physical setting
Climate at the main (Saltillo) campus of the UAAAN is dry semicalid; there are occasional freezes. Temperature seldom drops below -2 °C (26 F) (once in some years). Annual rainfall is about 300 mm. Natural vegetation is short Chihuahuan desert brush of several species of Acacia; there are also Yucca spp., lechuguilla (Agave lecheguilla), creosotebush (Larrea tridentata), mesquite (Prosopis), and granjeno (Celtis).
The main (Saltillo) campus of the UAAAN occupies more than 4 square kilometres in a fertile valley a few kilometres south of the city of Saltillo on the Zacatecas highway. A substantial amount of this land is occupied by experimental and demonstrative plots including annual and perennial crops like: corn, wheat, triticale; vegetables such as temperate (Cruciferae: broccoli, cabbage), warm-season (Solanaceae: peppers, tomatoes), and others (squash, cilantro, onions, garlic, etc); pecan and pistachio orchards; greenhouses (growing vegetables and ornamentals). All agriculture must use irrigation; there is no dryland agriculture. The University also includes animal production facilities (barns for intensive rearing of pigs, cows, goats, and dairy cows, mainly) including fistulated cattle. There is also has a cattle ranch (Rancho Los Angeles) (extensively colonized by Mexican prairie dogs, Cynomys mexicanus); a reforestation woodland occupying 0.5 km² of pines; and a botanical garden featuring mainly desert plant species (cacti, agaves) and trees.
The UAAAN has several agricultural experimental fields across Mexico, encompassing climates from the wet tropics (Veracruz) to the Chihuahuan desert: Ocampo, Coahuila state; Matehuala, San Luis Potosi state (cactus botanical garden); Noria de Guadalupe, Zacatecas state; Cuencame, Durango state. Also, in the Sierra Madre Oriental valleys: Navidad, Nuevo Leon (potato), and Los Lirios, Coahuila state (apple).

Archive for the 'James Rich' tag
You think you hate it now: The disappearing Family Truckster
A couple of months ago, Dan pointed out what looked like a Family Truckster in the back of a lineup of cars for the Kruse auction at Auburn last weekend. Well, we were watching National Lampoon's Vacation last night (yes, we are 14 years old), and it occurred to us that while Kruse was happy to report that their Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang brought $505,000, we didn't hear squat about the Wagonqueen.
Kruse doesn't have results from Auburn yet, but some digging failed to turn up the Family Truckster in the presale inventory. We did, however, find it in the inventory from Houston in December 2006, where it sold for $19,000.
It's obviously the same car; the same Princess Di '87 Rolls is in the background, as is the C-C-B-B. All three, along with a Pope John Paul II '75 Escort, were owned by failed Chicago restraunteur James Rich at his "Chicago West® Mona Lisa's Hideaway®," and came to Kruse via his bankruptcy. What isn't clear is if the car was ever supposed to be at Auburn, or if Kruse just accidentally included it in their media.
As far as we know, none of the five Country Squires built for the film survived; this was listed as a '79 LTD, and is almost certainly a reproduction–there are a handful of them floating around out there. A close look suggests there's more sheetmetal between the front wheel well and the grille than the Griswold's had. There's actually quite a bit of disagreement about the actual model and year of the donor cars for the film…we're not savvy enough on late 1970s/early '80s Ford wagons to weigh in authoritatively. We're checking to see if Lou Glutz has any left in inventory.

Juneau Mayor Bruce Botelho is suggesting a way for the CBJ Assembly to include more projects in a proposed extension of the city's temporary 1-percent sales tax. KTOO's Casey Kelly has more.
City departments and at least one nonprofit have submitted more than $68-million in project requests to be included on this fall's municipal ballot. But if approved, the tax is only expected to bring in about $44.8-million dollars over its five year life.
Instead of trying to cram as many projects into the ballot proposition as possible, Botelho says the assembly could spin off transportation projects into a separate $25-million bond proposition that would cover most airport, docks and harbors and Capital Transit requests.
The mayor offered his idea in a memo to assembly members yesterday (Wednesday), calling it a "starting point" for discussions at tonight's Assembly Finance Committee meeting. The committee is expected to finalize the project list and forward it to the full assembly for approval.
The temporary 1-percent sales tax is sometimes called the "project tax," because it's typically used to fund city construction and maintenance. It's due to expire in September 2013.
Major projects that could appear in the proposed ballot proposition include more $3-million for upgrades to Centennial Hall, more than $4-million for a new Mendenhall Valley library, and $5-million for a new adolescent mental health facility at Bartlett Regional Hospital. The nonprofit Sealaska Heritage Institute also wants $3-million for a new downtown cultural center.
Botelho recommends the assembly include $1-million for the center. In his memo, the mayor writes that "preservation of Tlingit culture clearly meets … 'public purpose' standards." He also says "The center will be a valuable addition to the community."
The Finance Committee meets tonight at 5:30 in Assembly Chambers.

Alyssa Milano currently has a recurring role on My Name is Earl (I assume she's still there -- haven't seen last night's episode yet). She is in talks to star in an untitled project for ABC about a young woman "who tries to break free of her overbearing and dysfunctional family, friends and boss." It's a single-camera comedy. Kind-of sounds like Samantha Who? but without the amnesia schick.

Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello has talked about the violent video game debate, emphasizing that, while actual studies have found no link between the two, there's still a negative perception regarding video games and how they influence violent behavior.
Ever since the tragic Sandy Hook shooting last year, the controversy surrounding video games and their impact on violent behavior has caught new life, with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden even inviting representatives of large publishers, including EA's John Riccitiello, to talk about how games affect their players.
Now, the EA CEO has tackled the debate, via CVG, and emphasized that lots of surveys have already been made in regards to video games and violent behavior and none of them found a link between the two.
"The games industry is a very mature, responsible industry, more so than you might otherwise imagine," said Riccitiello. "We're very confident in the quality of our content and the lack of an actual factual linkage to any of the actual violence that takes place in America and markets around the world.
"There is no doubt that we, like you, were stunned and horrified by the violence in Connecticut or Colorado and many other places over the years. But there's been an enormous amount of research done in the entertainment fields looking for linkages between entertainment content and actual violence and they haven't found any," he added.
Sadly, while the surveys didn't find any links, media coverage continues to portray games as playing a key role in determining violent behavior, so Riccitiello emphasizes that video game companies need to step up and do whatever they can to correct the mistake.
"We understand that while there may not be an actual problem, given all the finger-pointing going on in the press, there appears to be the perception of a problem and we do have to wrestle with that," he said.
"We're responsible, we're mature, we intend to be part of the solution. We were horrified like you, it's not about games, there's a perception issue, and we can be part of that solution and we're ready to step up to do that."
EA is one of the major backers of the Electronic Software Association, the main lobby group for the gaming industry in the U.S. Congress.

January 5, 2012
By Edwin Meese III and Todd F. Gaziano
Yes, some prior recess appointments have been politically unpopular, and a few have even raised legal questions. But never before has a president purported to make a "recess" appointment when the Senate is demonstrably not in recess. That is a constitutional abuse of a high order.
As a former U.S. attorney general and a former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer who provided advice to presidents on recess appointment issues, we have defended and will continue to defend the lawful use of the recess appointment power. Although originally conceived by the Framers for a time when communicating with and summoning senators back to the Capitol might take weeks, it is still valid in a modern age — but only as long as the Senate is in recess. Not only was the Senate not in recess when these purported appointments were made, it constitutionally could not have been.
Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution states that neither house of Congress may adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other house. The House of Representatives did not consent to a Senate recess of more than three days at the end of last year, and so the Senate, consistent with the requirements of the Constitution, must have some sort of session every few days.
The president and anyone else may object that the Senate is conducting "pro forma" sessions, but that does not render them constitutionally meaningless, as some have argued. In fact, the Senate did pass a bill during a supposedly "pro forma" session on Dec. 23, a matter the White House took notice of since the president signed the bill into law. The president cannot pick and choose when he deems a Senate session to be "real."
It does not matter one whit that most members of Congress are out of town and allow business to be conducted by their agents under unanimous consent procedures, because ending a session of Congress requires the passage of a formal resolution, which never occurred and could not have occurred without the consent of the House.
President Obama is not the first to abuse the recess appointment power. Theodore Roosevelt did as well, but for almost 90 years the executive branch has generally agreed that a recess as recognized by the Senate of at least nine to 10 days is necessary before the president can fill any vacancies with a recess appointment.
When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) kept the chamber in pro forma sessions at the end of the George W. Bush administration, he declared that was sufficient to prevent Bush's use of the recess appointment power. Reid was right, whether or not his tactics were justified.
President Obama's flagrant violation of the Constitution not only will damage relations with Congress for years to come but will ultimately weaken the office of the presidency. There eventually may be litigation over the illegal appointments, but it will be a failure of government if the political branches do not resolve this injustice before a court rules. The White House has refused to admit or deny whether it received advice from the Justice Department (or overruled its advice), which is telling enough, but its campaign-style announcements about the propriety of its actions are not legally credible.
Congressional leaders of both parties must vigorously (though thoughtfully) defend their prerogatives. Senators could filibuster all presidential nominations, as Sen. Robert C. Byrd did in 1985 over a lesser recess appointment issue, until Obama rescinds these wrongful appointments. The House or Senate could condition all "must-pass" legislation for the remainder of 2012 on an agreement to rescind these appointments. The House also could require the attorney general to produce legal justification and testify at oversight hearings.
If Congress does not resist, the injury is not just to its branch but ultimately to the people. James Madison made clear that the separation of powers was not to protect government officials' power for their sake but as a vital check on behalf of individual liberty. To prevent future tyrannical usurpations of power, Congress must act to redress this serious threat to our liberty.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Activists looking to restart street protests
in Iran are being confronted by police using tear gas and batons.
Witnesses say police charged at a crowd of hundreds who were
chanting "death to the dictator" today in Tehran. The protesters
fled, then regrouped at another corner and resumed chanting, a
process repeated several times.
The witnesses say the number of protesters grew to about 700 and
marched toward the gates of Tehran University. A line of policemen
blocked their path, but did nothing to disperse them.
Soon after the confrontations began, mobile phone service was
cut off in the capital.
For days, supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi
(meer hoh-SAYN' moo-SAH'-vee) have been trying to revive the large
post-election protests that were crushed by security forces.
Iranian authorities are promising to stop any new marches.

A leader in the Lincoln community says he is innocent of sexual assault.
Former Lincoln Interfaith Council director Norman Leach entered his plea Monday in Lancaster County Court. He faces a third-degree sexual assault charge.
That is a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to one year in prison. It is filed in cases of sexual assault where there is not serious personal injury to the victim.
Leach was arrested last week for allegedly inappropriately touching a teenage boy who spent the night at his house.
The victim in this case is a Boy Scout who was a member of a troop founded by the 63-year-old Leach.

I am in favor of the current emphasis on recycling because Carbon County will not need to spend $20-30 million on a new dump.
I also agree we should reuse, not throw away.
While I applaud the effort of the "Green Team" it should be pointed out that newspaper recycling has been occurring for 20 years or more. Both the Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune have been sending two tons or more of old newspapers back to Salt Lake every month.
There has been a conversation about putting a "recycling fee" on the utility bills. This would be an unnecessary tax. Please do not tax the people when a private company is doing the job.
(Editors note: Like the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News, the Sun Advocate has been sending extra newspapers to recycling for years too).

Cancer survivor Wendy Rahn has created a fitness DVD for women who have or have had breast cancer.
Photo by Lori Hamilton
Before she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, getting to the gym was a low priority for Wendy Rahn, Ph.D. The University of Minnesota political science professor was busy trying to balance teaching and doing research with the demands of her family—her son was then 8. Working out seemed self-indulgent. In fact, she says, exercise had "dropped off the radar."
After hormone therapy, a double mastectomy, and reconstructive surgeries, however, Rahn had a conversion experience. She had delved into the public health literature to learn more about cancer survival and was surprised to discover a study that linked exercise after a cancer diagnosis to not only having a better quality of life but also a longer one. The article, "Physical Activity and Survival after Breast Cancer Diagnosis," which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2005, concluded that exercising three to five hours a week might reduce a breast cancer survivor's risk of dying from the disease by as much as 50 percent. Rahn hired a personal trainer.
As she worked out and began to feel better, Rahn and her trainer wondered why no one had told her about the research on exercise. As Rahn saw it, pumping iron and pounding the pavement were matters of life and death. But neither her doctors nor her new friends in the cancer survivor community seemed to be talking about it. So in 2007, she formed a nonprofit, Survivors' Training, with the goal of getting the word out.
Rahn assembled a board of directors and began studying to become a fitness instructor herself so that she could teach survivors how to exercise safely and teach others to work with cancer survivors. In 2008, she opened an exercise studio in White Bear Lake with a plan to hold classes for women who had been treated or were being treated for cancer.
Although the studio closed after only a few months because of financial difficulties, Survivors' Training itself survived. In 2008, with a grant from the Minnesota affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and help from the Melpomene Institute for Women's Health, it released a fitness DVD called "Celebrate Strength." This year, the organization has received support from the Minnesota Society of Clinical Oncology, and the Minnesota Cancer Alliance awarded it a grant to develop a new fitness program for cancer survivors. Last month, its CREW (Cancer Recovery Exercise for Women) classes started at the Minneapolis Midtown YWCA. Rahn helped train the instructors.
Body of Evidence
Rahn has taken the message about the benefits of exercise to the public, cancer survivors, and medical providers alike. She co-chairs the Minnesota Cancer Alliance's team on continuing education on survivorship. She speaks to survivor groups, talks to physicians and other providers, trains fitness instructors, and maintains a website that summarizes the research on exercising after cancer. In 2009, such efforts earned her a Spirit of Collaboration Award from the Minnesota Cancer Alliance.
One of those whom Rahn introduced to the research on exercise and cancer mortality is Brian Rank, M.D., medical director for HealthPartners Medical Group and Clinics. Rank says he was only peripherally aware of the literature until Rahn brought it to the attention of the Minnesota Cancer Alliance. "It takes an advocate like Wendy to bring [the literature on exercise] to people's attention," he says. He now sits on the board of directors for Survivors' Training.
That literature now includes a study of 933 women, the results of which were published in JAMA in 2008, that found those who increased their physical activity after a breast cancer diagnosis had a 45 percent lower risk of death than women who were inactive both before and after their diagnosis, and that women who decreased their physical activity after diagnosis had a four-fold greater risk of death.
Similar studies are being done in patients with other types of cancer. An article published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2006 reports that physical activity after the diagnosis of certain colorectal cancers might reduce the risk of colorectal-cancer-specific and overall mortality. And researchers from Harvard University have reported that men who had prostate cancer who engaged in vigorous physical activity after their diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from any cause. "Almost once a week an article comes out showing the benefits of exercise in one disease or another," Rank says. "I think the literature in support of exercise is becoming overwhelming."
The importance of exercising after a cancer diagnosis is starting to be recognized in Minnesota's survivorship, integrative oncology, and cancer rehabilitation programs. For example, the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center promotes it as a way for the survivor to reduce risk factors for cancer. Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital offers it as a component of its cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema services. And Minnesota hospital survivorship programs are starting to tell patients about the benefits of exercise, and some even offer classes.
Rx for Ex?
Whether oncologists are actually "prescribing" it, which is what Rahn would like to see, is another story. Charles Loprinzi, M.D., Regis Professor of Breast Cancer Research at Mayo Clinic, says he tries to work a recommendation for exercise into the conversations he has with his patients about making all kinds of lifestyle changes. Yet although he believes the benefits of exercise are well-established, he doesn't necessarily recommend it to every patient at every visit. "Do I bring it up with everybody? I try to, but it all depends on what other topics need to be discussed given the time constraints," he says.
Similarly, Randy Hurley, M.D., medical director of oncology for HealthPartners and Regions Hospital in St. Paul, says fitting a discussion about the research on exercise into an office visit can be tough. "I think there's no reason not to lift up exercise as a way to improve cancer outcomes," he says. "It's just that on the laundry list of things to get through in a 20- or 30-minute appointment, that's one more." Hurley appreciates that others, like Rahn, are calling attention to the topic.
Anne Blaes, M.D., who sees patients at the University of Minnesota's Long-Term Follow-Up Clinic, tells patients that the research is indicating that exercise may help reduce the recurrence of breast and colorectal cancer in particular. "While we really need more data to know for sure," she says, "I encourage patients, particularly after therapy, to exercise. If anything, we know it helps the cardiovascular system, which whether you are a cancer survivor or not, still remains a leading cause of death in our country."
HealthPartners' Rank predicts exercise may eventually be added to the list of lifestyle recommendations oncologists routinely give to patients. But he says that even if it is, physicians will struggle with getting patients to do it. "How do we get people eating better, exercising more, getting out of cars, and walking? We haven't hit on the answer yet."
At this point, survivors such as Rahn may be the best evangelists for exercise. Looking calm, fit, and strong on the screen in the "Celebrate Strength" video, Rahn herself is a convincing argument for doing the stretches, lifts, and movements that the trainers are about to lead viewers through. In addition, she carefully builds the case for exercising after cancer and explains that the DVD is structured so that women who are recovering from surgery or weak from treatment can begin slowly and progress as they regain strength and stamina.
She empathizes with the viewer, noting that it might be difficult to start. "I would consider myself a lapsed exerciser," she confesses, then reveals what keeps her motivated, "but then I read a study that completely changed my world."—Carmen Peota

Landslide feared in Oro relocation site-A A +A
Saturday, January 25, 2014
FEAR of landslide gives survivors of Tropical Storm Sendong, living in sitio Calaanan in Barangay Canitoan, difficulty sleeping at night.
"I cannot sleep in this house, I am afraid that another landslide would take place and kill my family," said Jorlyn Balino, a resident of LGU-Crayola resettlement site in a hinterland area in Calaanan.
She added that the thought of her family being covered with mud and rocks haunt her every time it starts to rain, especially during the low pressure area (LPA) that developed into tropical depression bringing with it incessant rains for two weeks.
"Every night I think about being covered with mud," said Balino who fears for the lives of his two children.
Jorlyn and her family live in a relocation home, along with the other 34 families, on a hill beside the mountain.
Her husband Arland said he couldn't sleep well in the house due to the landslide last week that damaged their home.
Arland said the cascading rocks and mud almost buried her two-year-old daughter that shocked them as it hit their house.
"There was something like an explosion when the mud and rock hit the backdoor of our house, my daughter was standing nearby," said Arland recollecting what happened Tuesday last week.
Arland said they lived in Barangay Carmen before Tropical Storm Sendong devastated their home in December 2012.
Another resident from the same relocation site, Monna Barrios, said while she was cooking on that same day, some small amount of mud started drifting toward her.
She tried to shovel the mud but eventually stopped because it started coming in bulk.
Barrios asked her husband not to work after the landslide to help her shovel the mud but they did not endure it because the mud amassed excessively.
Arland stopped working for a week now to look after his family that sleeps now, along with other eight families, in the AICID building, in another nearby evacuation site.
"I sleep in the relocation site because I am afraid especially when it is raining," said Barrios.
Barrios said the makeshift lavatory at the back of her house was covered with mud and is now rendered useless.
Elena Sagrado, community affairs assistant of the City Planning Division Office, said eight houses in buildings 1 and 2 were damaged due to the landslide.
She added the relocation site is a landslide-prone area.
Eng. Jerry Nabong of the City Engineering Office confirmed the area is "landslide-prone."
"Even if the houses were concrete it could not sustain against the landslide," said Nabong.
He added that more landslides in the area are possible.
Nabong said the landslides happened because of the relentless rain due to Agaton that eventually weakened the soil.
Jun Mangadlao, mining inspector from the City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (Clenro), said the houses at the foot of the mountain are unsafe.
Mangadlao suggested that the houses should be five meters away from the foot of the mountain, and the slope should be 45-degrees with a "bench."
Maricel Casiño-Rivera, city information officer, said they would submit their report to the people in-charge at city hall.
She added that they would coordinate with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) to come up with better solutions to the problem of the residents.
"This area is not suitable for a relocation site," said Rivera. (Anjo J. Bacarisas/Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro)

Although they aren't always considered as defensive as major consumer-staple stocks, such as Coca-Cola or Philip Morris, the stocks that cater to the high-end markets have proven to be resilient during tough economic times, while also excelling in a bustling economy. I've long felt that either either Tiffany (NYSE: TIF) or Coach (NYSE: COH) would be great buyout candidates.
And although it's a less favorite bet of mine, Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) is still a solid company that's been expanding its portfolio nicely. What's best is that all three of these stocks have dwarfed the performance of the S&P 500 over the last five years.
Tiffany is a leading international retailer, designer, manufacturer, and distributor of fine jewelry. At a $10 billion market cap, I also conform to the thesis that the company could be a takeout target. Tiffany would make a great addition to one of the major luxury retailers, such as LVHM.
The little blue box is Tiffany's stable, and jewelry is its bread-n-butter, accounting for 90% of 2012 sales. Tiffany internally produces about 60% of its merchandise sold. Tiffany is also looking to strengthen its international exposure, where in fiscal 2013, the company generated 50% of revenue from the Americas and 21% from Asia, 17% Japan and 11% Europe.
Fiscal 1Q 2014 started off strong, with worldwide same-store sales growth of 8% year-over-year -- most notably there was 9% same-store sale growth in Asia and 21% in Japan.
Some of its key international growth opportunities lie in Russia, Brazil and India. Meanwhile, the company is also looking to focus on smaller stores, which will highlight its higher-margin products and improve its sales per square foot.
Of the 16 stores it plans to open in fiscal 2014, three will be in the U.S., while one in Canada, Mexico and Brazil each, seven in Asia and three in Europe.
Coach designs, makes and markets fine accessories for women and men, including handbags and travel accessories. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that there have been a couple of "hot" companies coming to market, including Michael Kors and Kate Spade. Yet, Coach is looking to keep its market share with new retail store openings. One of its latest initiatives in the retail market is the plan to open its first store-in-a-store in Macy'slater this year.
Coach hopes to increase its global retail square footage by 10% in fiscal 2013, with a concentration on the U.S. and China. Internationally, the company plans to add 30 outlet stores in China, putting its total to over 120 locations. While in Japan, the company will also add 10 stores.
However, the key, underrated, growth opportunities lie in the "murse." Okay, maybe Coach isn't betting the house on man purses, but it is definitely betting that its men's business will show strong growth over the interim.
The sale of men's bags and accessories more than doubled in fiscal 2012, and the company sees this number rising another 50% in 2013. The retailer has over 85 men's retail stores-in-a-store, 30 men's standalone factory stores and five standalone men's retail stores.
Fossil is known for its watches, but it also offers various accessories, including jewelry, sunglasses, small leather goods, belts, and handbags. In 2012, watches accounted for some 75% of sales.
Its key watches include its proprietary Fossil, Relic and Skagen brands, and licensed Adidas, Armani Exchange, DKNY, Diesel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Michael Kors lines. Fossil's most notable initiative of late was the 2012 acquisition of Skagen. The acquisition added nearly $100 million to sales in 2012.
Fossil, like its accessory peers, is looking to break further into the international markets. Fossil acquired the Latin American distribution business of Florida-based Bentrani Watches in January, allowing the company to ship its products in 16 Latin American countries, including Chile, Argentina and Colombia.
Sales are expected to be up 11.5% in 2013, with the help of new products and the expansion of its retail locations. Its new products include Skagen jewelry and Fossil Swiss watches, while the company is expected to open 70 to 75 stores this year.
Bottom line
The three discretionary stocks listed above tend to hold up nicely regardless of the economic backdrop. I think all three will continue their upward momentum on the back of a rebounding economy. Both Tiffany and Coach also offer investors a well-covered dividend yield at 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively.

Know the Laws: Connecticut
UPDATED September 17, 2013
There is a law in CT that says that any tenant who is a victim of family violence who believes that it is necessary to vacate his/her rental unit due to fear of immediate harm to the tenant (or his/her child) because of family violence, can terminate his/her rental agreement with the landlord without penalty or liability for the remaining term of the rental agreement. The tenant has to give at least 30 days written notice to the landlord before the date s/he wants to terminate the rental agreement.* As of January 1, 2014, this law will also apply to victims of sexual assault.
WomensLaw.org hopes to add more information about this topic in the future but in the meantime, you can read more about this law (including what the written notice has to include) on our CT Statutes page here.

History and Summary
This past year members of the Music and Theatre Arts Department at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, including faculty, staff, and students, created a project entitled "A Year of Inclusivity," which had a central goal of increasing the programming of "underrepresented" composers, a term selected because of its inclusive nature, raising such issues as gender, racial or cultural background, and sexual orientation. While the importance of inclusion permeates discussions in education, achieving a diverse and inclusive curriculum in music programs, at any level, is complex and presents inherent difficulties, more so than for many disciplines due to the centrality of historic traditions. Beyond more inclusive programming, this project included related faculty-student research projects, special guests, and lectures. The project's impact on program selection was contextualized through a faculty-student research project which determined patterns surrounding the programming of compositions by women throughout the history of the department. At UW-EC up through the1970's, only 1% of concert repertoire was by women, and despite major societal changes with second-wave feminism during the 1960's and 70's, this percentage increased to only 1.5% for the 1980's and to 3% for 1990-2005.While the programming during the eight-year period from 2005-2013 showed a noted increase, 94% of the programmed compositions in our department remained those of men. During "A Year of Inclusivity," the percentage of compositions by women in comparison to the previous season almost tripled to17%.Reflecting greater challenges, the increase in compositions by non-white composers was less pronounced, increasing from 5 to 8%, from 57 to 89 compositions. Students were involved in the majority of the performances in the project; almost one-half were solo performances by students and almost one-third were by student ensembles. When performers and audiences walked into the concert halls during "A Year of Inclusivity," they were significantly more likely to encounter compositions by people like themselves, a privilege that should not be limited to white men." A Year of Inclusivity"aimed to raise consciousness of the importance of taking a more inclusive approach in the concert hall and to have a positive impact on future programming at UW-EC, as well as at all of the schools and institutions at which our students will teach and perform.

LIVINGSTON — Polk County Emergency Management Coordinator Larry Shine is urging area residents to postpone outdoor burning while Southeast Texas is under elevated fire danger conditions. These elevated threats, or red flag conditions, are expected to continue through next week. "When a dry air mass moves into Southeast Texas, bringing a combination of abundant sunshine, warm temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds, the National Weather Service will issue a Red Flag Warning," Shine said. "The warning means that an elevated fire danger will exist during the time period indicated in the warning. "Oftentimes these warning also imply that winds may gust to speeds in excess of 25 mph," Shine added. "A Red Flag Warning may be issued during times that the county is not under a burn ban. The daily warnings are intended to make the public aware of the hazard of outdoor burning during the time period indicated," Shine said. If the fire escapes from the intended containment area it has a very strong possibility of getting out of control, emergency officials warned. Anyone burning out of doors should check with the NWS online or the Polk County Office of Emergency Management before burning. Although it is legal to burn on a day when a Red Flag Warning has been issued, it is not advisable. Anyone who starts a fire that escapes his control, may be liable for the unwanted damages.

Degrassi: Which Episode Is the Most Heartbreaking?Posted on 05/08/2013 by Lisa

When we asked for poll topics on Twitter, several fans asked us to do a "most heartbreaking episode" or "saddest episode" poll, so you can thank @jennwastaken, @degrassihaha, @CholeSoledad, and @jiillyybeeaanns for this one.
Twitter fans also nominated heartbreaking episodes for us to feature in the poll. This week's options include:
"Time Stands Still" If you've never seen the school shooting that put Jimmy in a wheelchair, this two-parter is an essential piece of Degrassi history.
"Rock This Town" J.T. was one of Degrassi's most popular characters, and his final episode left his friends -- and the show's fans -- in shock.
"Jane Says" When Jane's father returned to town, she struggled to cope with traumatic memories from her childhood.
"Bitter Sweet Symphony" This episode, about Cam's suicide and its repercussions, is the most recent nominee, but that doesn't make it any less tragic.
Check out the full list of nominees and VOTE for your favorite episode on the Degrassi Facebook page. It could be one you've never seen, or one you want to see again (with a big box of tissues by your side). We'll post the winning episode online on Friday.

His play The Lightly Attended Funeral of the Amateur Radio Operator was recently produced at the annual Ten for Tenn Festival in Athens, Tennessee. Arts and Science won the 2006 Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award and was published in Blackbird Journal. So was Unseen Character, a play about characters referred to, but not seen on stage, in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. His interest in Williams led to his current one-man show (in which he plays eleven characters!), now creating a buzz in the theatre world; Sometimes There's God So Quickly chronicles Roby's travels throughout the Mississippi Delta interviewing people who knew the late playwright. After receiving the B.F.A. at the North Carolina School of the Arts and the M.F.A. at Illinois State University, he continued his studies in acting and playwriting at Oxford University, the Wooly Mammoth Theatre School in Washington, D. C., and the Playwrights' Intensive at the John F. Kennedy Center.

Currently, Roby teaches playwriting and directing at Miles College in Birmingham, Alabama. To learn more about Roby and his work visit www.davidroby.com.
"I loved teaching at the Sewanee Young Writers' Conference. My class was eager and hungry and attentive. The atmosphere was electric. Not only did we spend much time on the plot and structure of our plays, but we also spent a lot of time investigating our characters' wants and desires. We learned to place our characters in extreme situations where the overall conflict could only grow even greater. We built a history for our characters, but we also built a history with each other. We grew as artists. We grew as playwrights. The time was simply magical."

Finally, this year, I started some seeds early. Inspired by my success harvesting arugula all winter in my hoop-house. The hoop-house is all gone, now, and some young spinach plants are out in tonight's spring snow shower with the arugula that just won't quit in my bared plot. My strawberries have started to come back. My raspberries are sprouting green leaves. And I just scored about 50 lbs of fresh horse manure that I'm going to turn into my compost pile! All's right with the world (in my back yard).
But I have started some tomato plants in my sunroom from seeds I saved (claimed from last year's fruit), and seeds I had left in old packets. I was disappointed with my Sungold's that came from seeds I had saved the year before. I suspect they cross-pollinated, despite my best efforts to isolate them.
In that light, let me suggest an article in the NY Times I just read about heirloom seeds and then I'd like to ask you folks to give it up. Please share with me (and everybody else) the best tomatoes you've grown in your garden from seeds. Tell us all about them — why you love them, where you got them and in what region you grow them. Share the wealth, please. It's not too late.

His Excellency: George Washingtonby Joseph J. Ellis
Staff Pick
Few biographies so completely capture their multifaceted subjects. With fresh insight, Joseph Ellis's well-researched book gives readers a personal look at America's premier Founding Father.
"Readers who are familiar with the vast array of writings about Washington will not find much that is new or original in Ellis's book. But they will find his usual engaging style of writing. He has a wonderful knack for summing a mass of complicated material in a few pithy sentences. With Ellis, it is not so much what is said as how it is said. His writing is forthright....[I]t is always clear, confident, colloquial, even at times conversational.And it is tinctured with just the right amount of Ellis's peculiar humor." Gordon S. Wood, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The author of seven highly acclaimed books, Joseph J. Ellis has crafted a landmark biography that brings to life in all his complexity the most important and perhaps least understood figure in American history, George Washington. With his careful attention to detail and his lyrical prose, Ellis has set a new standard for biography.
Drawing from the newly catalogued Washington papers at the University of Virginia, Joseph Ellis paints a full portrait of George Washington's life and career — from his military years through his two terms as president. Ellis illuminates the difficulties the first executive confronted as he worked to keep the emerging country united in the face of adversarial factions. He richly details Washington's private life and illustrates the ways in which it influenced his public persona. Through Ellis's artful narration, we look inside Washington's marriage and his subsequent entrance into the upper echelons of Virginia's plantation society. We come to understand that it was by managing his own large debts to British merchants that he experienced firsthand the imperiousness of the British Empire. And we watch the evolution of his attitude toward slavery, which led to his emancipating his own slaves in his will. Throughout, Ellis peels back the layers of myth and uncovers for us Washington in the context of eighteenth-century America, allowing us to comprehend the magnitude of his accomplishments and the character of his spirit and mind.
When Washington died in 1799, Ellis tells us, he was eulogized as "first in the hearts of his countrymen." Since then, however, his image has been chiseled onto Mount Rushmore and printed on the dollar bill. He is on our landscape and in our wallets but not, Ellis argues, in our hearts. Ellis strips away the ivy and legend that have grown up over the Washington statue and recovers the flesh-and-blood man in all his passionate and fully human prowess.
In the pantheon of our republic's founders, there were many outstanding individuals. And yet each of them — Franklin, Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison — acknowledged Washington to be his superior, the only indispensable figure, the one and only "His Excellency." Both physically and politically, Washington towered over his peers for reasons this book elucidates. His Excellency is a full, glorious, and multifaceted portrait of the man behind our country's genesis, sure to become the authoritative biography of George Washington for many decades.
"In this follow-up to his bestselling Founding Brothers, Ellis offers a magisterial account of the life and times of George Washington, celebrating the heroic image of the president whom peers like Jefferson and Madison recognized as 'their unquestioned superior' while acknowledging his all-too-human qualities. Ellis recreates the cultural and political context into which Washington strode to provide leadership to the incipient American republic. But more importantly, the letters and other documents Ellis draws on bring the aloof legend alive — as a young soldier who sought to rise through the ranks of the British army during the French and Indian War, convinced he knew the wilderness terrain better than his commanding officers; as a Virginia plantation owner (thanks to his marriage) who watched over his accounts with a ruthless eye; as the commander of an outmatched rebel army who, after losing many of his major battles, still managed to catch the British in an indefensible position. Following Washington from the battlefield to the presidency, Ellis elegantly points out how he steered a group of bickering states toward national unity; Ellis also elaborates on Washington's complex stances on issues like slavery and expansion into Native American territory. The Washington who emerges from these pages is similar to the one portrayed in a biographical study by James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn published earlier this year, but Ellis's richer version leaves readers with a deeper sense of the man's humanity. 16 pages of photos not seen by PW. Forecast: The 500,000 first printing seems steep but could be justified by Ellis's record and the current popularity of the Founders. First serial to American Heritage magazine." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A revisionist life of the Founding Father, motes and warts and all....Well done...though admirers of Washington may find in it more — or less — than they bargained for." Kirkus Reviews
"Ellis offers a unique, personal look at America's premier Founding Father....
"His Excellency: George Washington immediately calls to mind, and deserves favorable comparison with, Edmund S. Morgan's Benjamin Franklin...when Ellis says that 'we do not need another epic [Washington biography], but rather a fresh portrait focused tightly on Washington's character,' he declares in effect that he is doing what Morgan did. It is a pleasure to report that he has succeeded." Jonathan Yardley, The Wahington Post
"Mr. Ellis refuses to judge Washington by 'our own superior standards of political and racial justice' but instead tries to show how Washington was seen in his day. In doing so he gives us a visceral understanding of the era in which the first President came of age, and he shows how Washington's thinking (about the war for independence, the shape of the infant nation and the emerging role of the federal government) was shaped by his own experiences as a young soldier in the French and Indian War and as a member of the Virginia planter class. The resulting book yields an incisive portrait of the man, not the marble statue." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[T]he author is unafraid to see Washington anew, without trappings and free of idolatry." Brad Hooper, Booklist
The author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Founding Brothers and the National Book Award-winning American Sphinx comes a landmark biography that brings to life in all his complexity the most important and perhaps least understood figure in American history--George Washington. 16 pages of photos.
