Obama Decides Karzai to Stay in Power Despite Fraud
White House Embraces Fraudulent Win, Calls for 'Reconciliation'
Ending weeks of speculation regarding the massive fraud in Afghanistan's August presidential election, the Obama Administration has formally decided that incumbent President Hamid Karzai will get a second five year term, no matter what the investigations determine.
The preliminary vote count showed that President Karzai got 54.6% of the vote, and chief rival Abdullah Abdullah got only 28%. Election monitors however say that as many as a third of Karzai's votes, amounting to over a million, were potentially fraudulent.
The Afghan constitution mandates a run-off vote in the event no one gets 50% of the vote, a distinct possibility if Karzai loses hundreds of thousands of fake votes. Officials however say such a vote will be virtually impossible because of the rapidly approaching winter. US and British officials have spoken out against a runoff vote, and a NATO meeting Friday appears to have settled the alliance on just eschewing the vote entirely and keeping Karzai in power, consequences be damned.
But the reality is that Karzai's now seemingly formalized "victory," coming in an election whose level of blatant fraud makes Iran's June vote look like a model of responsibility is only going to increase the perception that the nation is under international occupation and that Karzai, rhetoric notwithstanding, is a figurehead.
That concern seems to have been lost on the Obama Administration, which has been crowing about the "success" of the vote for a solid month and seems eager to put the messiness of Karzai's stolen election aside and move on with the long-promised "reconciliation" with the Taliban.

From the US point of view, this is the worst possible outcome. A discredited Karzai maintained in power by the US military.

Obama making the call just proves the election was a farce from the start.
Apparently we overthrew the Taliban to liberate Afghanistan's opium producers. Why else are we there?

As expected, Qwest is giving up on MCI and instead will focus on buying smaller operators. Oh we said that earlier – Time Warner Telecom, XO, WilTel, Broadwing, TelCove, Level3 aare some of the names being thrown around. "Qwest has great arteries," Denver- based telecom analyst Tom Friedberg told the Denver Post. "But it doesn't have any capillaries to feed the network."

John Thurso, Liberal Democrat and Chairman of the Finance and Services Committee speaking with Sky News: "The important thing to do, what I want as a Liberal Democrat, is to make sure we do the right thing for the long-term and that's about looking after people at the bottom end and putting investment in to ensure as much growth as possible."11/29/2011 12:15:14 PM
Thurso added: "But the one thing we cannot do, which would be absolute suicide, is to move away from the core of Plan A, which is to ensure that the deficit reduction stays in place and if we didn't do that, we'd double our borrowing costs and then we'd be in real, real trouble."11/29/2011 12:16:23 PM
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared on Radio5Live earlier today. He said: "In the West at the moment, we're facing really tough economic times, and there's got to be some fundamental decsisions taken in Europe, and in America – in respect of it's deficit situation – and the thing that you realise, today more than ever, is the sheer interconnectedness of the world economy.

Last evening, "UFC Tonight" posted to their Twitter account that Brendan Schaub would like to face Mark Hunt.
As stated by his manager, the number 14 ranked heavyweight has "set his sights on Mark Hunt next."
For Schaub, the immediate and general (online) reaction to his request was, for the most part, one of disbelief. Hunt is ranked number eight in the division and known for his 'tank like' T/KO power and incredible chin. As such, he's the type of fighter that could prove difficult for Schaub to handle.
"Hybrid" is 6 – 3 in the promotion and of his three losses, Schaub has taken them all by round one KO. Further, Schaub has yet to beat any top ten fighters. Stepping back and looking at the two conditions, Mark Hunt, with his ability to drop huge heavyweights and walk through virtually all they have to offer, is, by the opinion of most, a bad match-up for Schaub.
However and regarding the only opinion that really matters, Mark Hunt appears willing to grant Schaub his wish.
By way of retort, "The Super Samoan" spoke with Ariel Helwani and commented as follows:
"I spoke to Brendan Schaub's manager, Lex McMahon, and he told me they want to fight Mark Hunt next. He's expected to come back in summer. I asked Mark Hunt about it, and he said fighting Brendan would be like going backwards, but if he wants go to sleep first, then sure, why not."
Admittedly, the fight would be a step back for Hunt. Indeed, Hunt would have to reach back six spots in the rankings to take the fight. As such, a match with Schaub does nothing for Hunt's career other than give him a paycheck and a win, assuming that he gets the victory.
Other than that the fight does nothing for "The Super Samoan."
As to the fight itself, fans have to give Schaub props for wanting to take a fight with Hunt. Given his reputation and Schaub's record, the pairing is not a match for the hybrid.
However, it's a fight and anything can happen. Schaub does have power and does possess a submission's game. So, perhaps it is possible that he could stop Hunt on his feet or maybe get him off of them, and submit him. All things are possible. However, the book on this match is likely to be that Hunt would put Schaub to sleep.

If catalogers and magazine publishers were looking for the right mix in 2013, their main challenge in 2014 was ensuring a seamless integration between print and the Web. As a result, more and more catalog and publication printers are changing their focus from solely providing ink-on-paper products to becoming true multi-channel partners.
MARCELINE, MO—Walsworth announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire significant manufacturing assets from Boyd Brothers Printing of Panama City, FL.
After acquiring significant manufacturing assets from Boyd Brothers Printing in Panama City, FL, Walsworth Publishing is expected to relocate several presses, bindery equipment and other ancillary items to its production facilities in Missouri and Michigan early next year. The acquisition of these assets was made possible when Boyd Brothers President and Owner Jim Boyd Jr. announced to his employees the commercial printing company is closing.

A new mobile app makes yearbook signing even more relevant for today's students by giving them a way to leave video messages alongside their written signatures. Yearbook Shout is the result of a partnership between Walsworth and stkr.it.
Along with a new Website launch, Walsworth Publishing in Marceline, MO, has also announced its entry into the world of multi-channel publishing—now offering expanded app publishing, ecommerce, content-marketing and fulfillment solutions for its customers.
The Inkjet Summit 2013, held at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, near Jacksonville, FL, drew more than 65 print professionals, comprising CEOs, general managers, and senior vice presidents in charge of plant operations, technology and digital print operations at leading companies.
It would be presumptuous to say that M&A activity, across the board, has taken a hit. There has been a fair amount of activity near the $5 million to $15 million range, situations where unions have taken place due to the complementary nature of their products and services, while others have forged working relationships in order to cross-sell off each other's platform. But what isn't receiving much attention—or ink—is the phantom tuck-in, simply because many companies just aren't trumpeting asset purchases.

Could it actually be possible that their new Bionz X processor, doesn't support 4K.
Any road, Panasonic must be smiling...
The A7S didn't have 4K internally because of overheating. Doesn't seem like you will see 4K on any body this size with the current processors. Panasonic bodies with 4K are significantly larger. Laws of physics seem to apply here.

Well, my friends, that's another year in the can. 2014 was a great year for PT: 1.2 million folks came to read our burblings and they viewed about 8 million pages whilst doing so — that's about twice as much traffic as we had in 2013. People came from 226 countries, including one reader each from Niger, Monserrat, Sao Tome, Tonga, and North Korea. To that last guy: keep your head down, chum.
Now that we've doled out all of the Best of 2014 Awards and I've sent the rest of the writing staff down the Mount Hexmap funicular, it's time for me to hit the lights and call it a year.

BBC News reports that a last minute injunction has halted the deportation of 29-year-old Brenda Namigadde, a lesbian from Uganda seeking asylum in the U.K.
A campaign to halt Namigadde's deportation took on increased urgency after David Kato, an openly gay advocate in Uganda, was beaten to death last week.
Namigadde had already boarded the plane back to Uganda when the injunction was issued, around 9:30 PM last Friday. Her original claim for asylum was denied because, according to BBC News, "An immigration judge found on the evidence before them that Ms. Namiggade was not homosexual." There has been new evidence submitted in her aslyum petition.
TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition asking the UK to grant asylum to Brenda Namigadde!
Namigadde claims that she fled Uganda in 2002 with her Canadian girlfriend after being beaten and harassed because of her sexuality. In Uganda, homosexuality is illegal and carries a 14 year jail term.
As Care2 has reported in the past, an "Anti-Homosexuality bill was introduced in Parliament. The bill would put to death those who had been convicted of homosexuality. After much protest, the death penalty was dropped from the bill, the entirety of which seems to have been shelved."
Regardless of Namigadde's sexual orientation, the Ugandan government now believes that she is a lesbian, and thus she is in a great amount of danger if she returns to Uganda.
Her pending deportation gained national coverage after the murder of David Kato last week. Namigadde told The Advocate, "It's really very scary to go back to Uganda. My life is gone as well. I am in danger. [Kato] is the one who was trying to stand for people."

Thank god. It is ridiculous to even take the chance, after the murder of Kato. Sending her back IS a death sentence.
Petiton signed
Excellent news. I hope that all goes well for her.
Good news. Let's hope she can stay permantly.
I have said this before, and I'll say it again. LOVING SOMEONE is not a crime. Can you choose who you love? No. Does it change who you are? No. I have many lesbian friends and to hear that across the world anyone could be so cruel over love is shocking. LOVE IS NOT A CRIME.
Thanks. I'm wishing the best for her.
I hope she is allowed to stay here and not returned to Uganda where she will be put to death!
signed thanks.

A Catholic school principal in Pennsylvania has condemned flyers for a dance featuring a photo actress Ellen DeGeneres as 'completely wrong' in an email to parents

The pizzeria employee who found himself broadcast in front of millions of people Sunday night says he was 'shocked' to be handing pizza to the likes of Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts at the 2014 Academy Awards.
It has, for years, seemed like an impossible dream: the Oscar ceremony that is stripped down to the bare essentials, bereft of the clunky, awkward production numbers that produce more winces than they do laughs
There were the best moments (Brad Pitt scarfing down pizza like a teenager at the movies), and the worst moments (Jared Leto talking about Ukraine), and then those in-between moments (like Matthew McConaughey talking about his dad in heaven)
In a sparkling velvet tuxedo, Ellen DeGeneres didn't disappoint with an Oscar monologue that launched barbs in every direction
Rob Ford won't be at the Oscars, but the chance of the Toronto mayor pulling one of his characteristic gaffes won't be enough to dampen Hollywood's spirits on the biggest night in Tinseltown – though, earlier, the rain did try

PGP Universal Server 3.2.1 MP3 <-> PGP Desktop Clients issue
Hi all,
We have a PGP Universal Server 3.2.1 MP3 (upgraded today), but have an issue with clients on PGP Desktop.
The Server have 3 policies:
one with full cpu throttle,
one with normal speed and access to the tray icon,
and the last with no access to the tray icon.
The Server is configured to search in our Active Directory for consumers (on three AD groups which identifies what policy serve to the client), the lookup is fine, and the Server shows the matched consumers on the groups.
Here is the problem:
When Install a fresh client or change an user from AD group to another, the client don't take policy from server and mantain the checkboxes clear on PGP WDE (First box to full cpu throttle, the other for power failure feature).
When check the logs of the clients after refresh policy manually, they appear normal, and shows that the policy updated fine.
This happens on Windows 7 (32 & 64).
Thanking you,
Osvaldo S.

How long are you waiting between making the changes in AD and checking the PGP clients? The policy refresh intervals are 24 hours by default, so you might want to either change that interval if you want, you can even get the clients to update every 1 minute whilst you make changes then change it back to a longer interval when everything has settled down.
I apply the same consumer policy to the new computers, when they finish encrypt, change to another policy.
When i encrypt a Windows XP clients, take the consumer policy smoothly.
But if the client is Windows 7 (32 & 64), have more trouble applying the consumer policy.
I've checked the PGPPolicy.xml and PGPPrefs.xml and differ from the configured ones, this happens only on W7 clients.
Hmm, so when you do a manual policy refresh it finds the new policy.
Can you disable the firewall on a windows 7 machine and see if it can find the new policy by itself ?
The Windows FW is disabled by an AD Domain Group Policy.
Yes, manual update works, no errors but the .xml files that i mentioned before, don't change (This happens only on W7 Clients).
I manually deleted the xml, and did a manual update, so the files are created again, but the PGP Desktop don't show the policy changes (the checkboxes are clean).
Do you get any errors in the logs for the pgp desktop? If not, can you enable debug, then force restart the pgptray.exe and attach the verbose log (+ debug) into here so I can have a look at it.
For information on how to enable debug logging, go to http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH149847

I have a class
blahtestCommand(sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand) with a run, it fails.
Another class, I have with
sublime_plugin.TextCommmand) works.
I am a little bit baffled with what the run definition should look like. I know java(did some OOP programming 10 years ago which I remember well), but I know very little python. (so I don't quite get about a class taking a parameter, as it wasn't in java but i'd make a weak guess it's a bit like 'extends'-inheritance- or 'implements').
I'm also trying to determine what in the ST2 API documentation would tell somebody that when a class has parameter of
sublime_plugin.TextCommand, that the def run line should look like this
def run(self, edit) whereas when a class has parameter
sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand the def run should look like - I don't know what. (so that's an even bigger mystery)
Notice here the
view.run_('......') doesn't work for class
blahtest, it's not printing 'aaaaaaaa'
I get no errors at all in the console. The plugin - whatever.py is loading fine. Hence one class run method runs, though the other's doesn't. blahtestCommand does load. I can put a line between def run and class blahtestCommand to print "123456789" and it prints as soon as I save whatever.py 'cos it reloads and no errors. It's just its run method isn't getting called when I do view.run_command('blahtest')
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class blahtestCommand(sublime_plugin.ApplicationCommand):
def run(self):
print "aaaaaaaaaaa"
class butthiswillworkCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
print "bbbb"
>>> view.run_command('blahtest') >>> view.run_command('butthiswillwork') bbbb
added by complete weird luck I managed to get it working for WindowCommand
, {"keys": ["ctrl+s", "ctrl+d"], "command": "saef4", "args": {"string": "abcd"} }
class saef4Command(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self,string):
print "uabcccc"
I might update this question further in future regarding running 'run' in the sublime api classes.

*** Sales/Mgmt executives: This app will change your life! ***
Watch the video: http://www.midnightsoft.com/confcall/confcall.mov
This app fully integrates with your calendar and allows you to dial into your conference calls with a single tap!
The app addresses a problem that most of us have when dialing into conference bridge numbers with our beloved iPhone: Typically, after dialing into a conference bridge, you need to type in the conference code; that code is usually in the invite, so you have to switch back and forth to memorize the code and type it in, if the conference code is too long then the conference bridge will time out and you will have to start all over again. Now with this app, that problem is gone! You can now dial into your meetings with a single tap!
We hope this app is as useful to you as it has been to us.

Latest update unusable
Your app has been working great for years. But ever since this last update it isn't working. It shows you the meetings to select, you click on it, and the meeting selection doesn't go away. If you press the Cancel button the app crashes. Please fix ASAP this app is very important!
Didn't work for me
If you have conferences that start and end with a * or #, the app doesn't know how to do it.
Nice visually but lacks some functionality
I was excited about this app b/c the description made it sound simple to use. The reality is that it does not always auto detect correctly and then it does not allow you to manual input the correction. There is a scroll selection icon but it does not allow you to add * or # when required. For example, my company uses an access code that starts and ends with an asterisk (*). This app does not intuitively allow me to add the * before the access code.

The Kingdom and the Power
By Jonathan D. Tepperman
Published: April 18, 2004
The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties.
By Craig Unger.
Illustrated. 356 pp. New York:
Scribner. $26.
FIGURING out how seriously to take particular conspiracy theories can be tough. If well drawn, such theories share many of the same elements as good fiction: densely constructed plots; dark, shadowy cabals; and dashing, larger-than-life personalities.
Moreover, like fiction (or religion), conspiracy theories offer the illusion that things happen for a reason. This is a fantasy people seem to crave; it is much harder to accept that events occur for a variety of complicated causes (or for none at all) than it is to believe in an unseen plan at work.
Yet the problem with such theories is that life rarely obliges us by being so simple. In politics, for example, policies emerge haphazardly from the clash of competing interests, not from any one individual or office (though politicians have often wished otherwise).
Take, for instance, United States policy toward Saudi Arabia, the subject of Craig Unger's ''House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties.'' It is Unger's thesis that America's Saudi policy has been determined largely by the financial ties between the Saudi royals and the Bush family (or the ''House of Bush,'' as he giddily insists on calling it).
Unger, a former deputy editor of The New York Observer who has written for The New Yorker, Esquire and Vanity Fair, goes to great lengths to outline just how attached the two clans have grown over the years. The Bushes and al-Sauds do indeed share a close (if complicated) relationship; in fact, these connections have already been extensively documented elsewhere. Yet the stakes in the relationship are so high that it is probably worth reading about them one more time. For this reason, Unger's muckraking impulse to explain the awkward United States-Saudi alliance should be applauded.
There's certainly plenty of muck for him to uncover. As he meticulously details, both George Bushes have made fortunes over the years by trading on their famous name to persuade rich backers to invest in their various (usually oil-related) businesses. Sometimes these backers have been Saudi, sometimes even members of the royal family. And a few have come from another Saudi clan: the bin Ladens.
Although Unger relies too heavily on other people's work in sketching the Bush-Saudi links, he does provide a valuable service in highlighting the enormous amounts of money involved. He even puts a price tag on the Saudis' contributions to the Bush family: a staggering $1.476 billion, paid out over 30 years as gifts to Bush-related charities, as generous perks (including a Saudi-sponsored European hunting trip for George H. W. Bush and his 1991 gulf war cabinet just after the November 2000 general election) and as investments in Bush-related businesses like Harken Energy or the Carlyle Group.
Unger, however, wants to do more than just underscore how avaricious -and unconcerned with the appearance of conflict of interest -- the Bushes have been in their long climb to the upper-upper-class. The book claims that, as compensation for big bucks, both Bush presidents have actually given Saudi Arabia a ''pass'' -- that is, deliberately overlooked the kingdom's longtime support for Islamic radicalism and terror in return for personal profit.
Unger concedes that Washington's indulgent attitude toward the Saudis may once have made sense. After all, the profligate descendants of King Ibn Saud do sit on the world's largest oil reserves -- oil we badly need -- and are useful allies in an unstable region. Moreover, at times they've also acted as proxies for the United States: most famously, in the 1980's, by funneling American arms to the rebels who bled the Soviets dry in Afghanistan.
But Unger is right to point out that the Saudis have always been fair-weather friends. The problem, in his words, was that they ''were already married to someone else'': Islamic fundamentalism. Washington may have once been able to overlook Riyadh's other affections; indeed, during the 1980's, the Reagan administration thought it could harness Saudi radicalism for use against the Soviet empire. But on Sept. 11, 2001, Saudi extremism quite literally blew up in America's face, thanks to the work of the most famous Saudi of them all, Osama bin Laden.
This was classic blowback, as unintended consequences are known in the intelligence industry. In hindsight, it seems foolish that Washington ever thought it could domesticate armed Islamist radicals, who hated Western democracy only slightly less than Soviet Communism. But in hindsight, lots of things seem clear. To suggest, as Unger does, that support for the Afghan rebels was the result of Bush family corruption -- especially when you remember that it originated in the Carter administration -- strains credulity.
To prove his claim, Unger would have to establish that the Bushes deliberately acted in ways that went against America's national interest. But this he cannot quite manage. Instead, he tries to detail all kinds of other unrelated, nefarious intrigues that the Saudis and Bushes have supposedly engaged in over the years.

$4 million in new loan money to go for affordable housing in Martin, Palm Beach counties
Those who need affordable housing just got an early, if indirect, Christmas gift — $4 million of new loan money that will be made available to housing providers by the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
The foundation announced the initiative at the Florida Housing Coalition's statewide affordable housing conference in Orlando earlier this week. Utilizing a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Community Foundation made the $4 million low-interest loan to the Florida Community Loan Fund, which will invest it in a new $25 million Affordable Housing Preservation Loan Pool Demonstration Program. Other affordable rental housing projects in Martin and Palm Beach counties also will be supported.
Local non-profit leaders hailed the program but said they would need more information before they apply for the money.
"What leadership on behalf of the Community Foundation the first community foundation in the country to do this," said Jan Huffert, administrator of Martin County's Intergovernmental and Community Relations Division, who has been attending the statewide housing conference at which the loan was announced. "I look forward to getting home and evaluating if we can use it."
"We're seeking funding from every avenue right now," said Jody Clifford, Habitat for Humanity of Martin County's development director. "But at Habitat, what we do is hold mortgages for our Habitat homeowners a 30-year no-interest loan. If it were a low-interest loan (from the Florida Community Loan Fund), we probably wouldn't apply."
Community Foundation president and CEO Leslie Lilly said her organization did a lot of research before implementing the loan.
"We talked to many organizations in both Martin County and Palm Beach County to understand the organizations working in the housing field. We also talked to private developers who partner with non-profits," Lilly said. "We have a history of grant-making on behalf of those trying to deal with housing issues."
In these tough economic times, Lilly said the Community Foundation has concentrated its grants on organizations that provide food and shelter. She cited a 2007 survey the Community Foundation commissioned that found that since 2000, the number of extremely cost-burdened renter households increased about 40 percent in Martin and Palm Beach counties.
"We found that there is an affordable housing gap for low- and middle-income workers," Lilly said. "This loan can help them and come back to the foundation and be recycled."
"Everyone recognizes that Florida has tremendous issues around affordability of houses here, and they're not likely to be over in the short-term," Lilly said. "With all that bad news, it was nice to put some good news out there."

East Naples Argentine grocery closing, to reopen online
Almacen Dona Celia is closing at the end of July
For the small Argentinean population living in Collier County, traces of their native land are few and far between. But Almacen Doña Celia has been somewhat of a godsend, and for its customers, something like home.
The Argentinian grocery store in the Courthouse Shadows plaza in East Naples exists among Payless, Albertsons, Blockbuster and, across the street, retail giant Wal-Mart, but cannot seem to keep the business up.
After 3½ years, owners Julio and Celia Binnier will be closing their store at the end of July, and reopening it online.
Although the rent and expenses, about $5,000 a month, have become too burdensome for the retired Argentinean couple, the store maintains a strong following from South Americans just like them. Some residents who have migrated from Argentina have been living in Southwest Florida for years, but have yet to find a place that sells the foods they could never live without.
Adolfo Benitez, a Naples resident of four years, visits the grocery store every day and considers it more like a club. Through his heavy Spanish accent and wide grin, Benitez, a waiter, explained his love for the Binniers and for Almacen Doña Celia, which translates to "Mrs. Celia's Groceries."
"As far as I know, Naples has nothing else like this," Benitez said.
He walked in for early-morning sweets, but did not rush to leave as he and Julio had their daily guy chat.
Benitez plans to continue to shop with the Binniers after their move to online as do other customers like Leticia Garcia who were in the store on a recent day.
Garcia arrived at the store around noon to do her weekly shopping. Filling up her cart with Argentine staples such as yerba mate, a famous tea known for its long list of health benefits, and dulce de leche, a sweet caramel spread. Garcia and her shopping buddy Gustavo Arregui picked up other everyday items like soda, cookies, cheese and cream. They said that they only go to a Publix or Albertsons for meat and vegetables.
The Almacen started as a dollar store called Celia's Dollar Value. Across the street from a discount retailer like Wal-Mart, however, a dollar store has little to no assurance of survival.
"You can't have a dollar store in Wal-Mart's parking lot," Celia said.
But once Celia and Julio began to receive requests for Argentinian groceries from their Argentinian customers, they knew what the store's new direction would be. The first petition was for yerba. Yerba mate, which translates into "herbal cup," is drunk from a cup full of hot water and the shredded yerba tea leaf.
"We live off of it," said Julio. "Back home, everyone has a mate in their house."
Julio usually makes two trips a week to Miami to purchase items shipped directly from Argentina, but now that the store is closing, his visits are becoming less frequent. "When we go online, I'll go down there as much as I need to," he said.
After getting married in Argentina, Julio and Celia immigrated to the United States in 1963 in search of a brighter future.
"Over there, life is completely different," Celia said. "You work your tail off and never get ahead."
Completing the time-consuming and expensive process of moving to the United States, the Binniers settled down in the Northeast, making a living and raising a family. He worked for a conveyor belt company and she as a tax bookkeeper. But after decades of cold winters, Celia realized she didn't belong up North.
"I got tired of the snow," she said.
With that, the couple moved to Naples and has been living here for 10 years.
In their 60s, the retired couple sticks to running their store, which is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day and employs just one part-time worker. But that is how Celia likes it. After retiring, she needed something to keep her busy.
"I have to have something to do," she said.
After being in business for 3½ years, Almacen Doña Celia has attracted customers from around the country.
"I get orders from North Carolina, South Carolina, Denver, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas and Boston," Celia said. She ships products as favors to the customers whom she sees more like good friends. But in a few weeks, shipping store merchandise will be the standard way of business.
As an online store, customers can request Argentinean products on the phone, via e-mail or by just walking in. Celia said that they will relocate but stay in Naples to work out of an office where customers can pick up their orders. Price tags for delivered items will mirror current in-store prices, but if customers wish to pick up their order themselves, it will cost them 3 percent less.
Today, one week after Argentineans celebrated their July 9 Independence Day, Almacen Doña Celia is scheduled to be officially accessible online, providing its services to anyone anywhere. But the store will remain open in the Courthouse Shadows plaza until July 31.
Now that she is a seasoned businesswoman, Celia reflected on the one thing she said every store owner needs — patience.
"You must have the patience to swallow hard headaches," she said.
Celia holds having a clean store and providing good communication with customers high on her priority list for running a successful business be it in a strip mall or on the Internet.
Celia advised that owners can't snap at their customers, and have to be able to be in the store for 12 hours every day, regardless, and know everything about every product.
"You can't just know how much you sell," she said. "You have to know what you sell, too."

The Cabinet Office has announced that it has accepted all
of the proposals made in the Etherington Review, including the Fundraising Preference Service, as part of a crack down
on "unethical" fundraising.
The Institute of Fundraising has called on its members to share their thoughts on the proposed Fundraising Preference Service by taking a survey on its website.
More than £60bn has been donated under gift aid in the 25 years since its introduction, according to analysis by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).
London's Air Ambulance has confirmed that it has acquired a second medical helicopter, after raising more than £4m.
Over 200 of the UK's largest companies signed up yesterday to back a day of giving in the City of London run by the Lord Mayor's Appeal, including Allianz, Barclays and J.P. Morgan.
The move to longer term funding is great; this is one of the biggest complaints we get from the young people that we work with; they often ask "why is it that as soon as they get a project/activity that we like and benefit from, it gets taken away."
Macmillan Cancer Support has confirmed that Richard Taylor, former executive director of fundraising and marketing at Cancer Research UK, has been appointed as interim director of fundraising, marketing and communications.
The last year saw the slowest growth in the the charity retail sector in more than a decade, according to figures published in the Charity Shops Survey 2015.
Macmillan has confirmed that an extra 13,000 people registered to host a World's Biggest Coffee Morning in 2015, compared to the previous year, and is confident of beating last year's £25m fundraising total.

Bake the potatoes. Then, as soon as they're cooked, remove them from the oven, leaving the heat at gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C), then (with your hands in oven gloves, or using a tea towel for protection), cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the centres into a bowl. Next arrange the potato shells in a shallow roasting tin (using one potato to prop another up if they don't sit comfortably straight).
Now melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the spring onions for 2-3 minutes; then add all the onion and melted butter to the potato together with the soured cream and egg yolks, and whisk (preferably with an electric hand whisk), until smooth.
Taste and season well with salt and pepper and add the parsley. Now, with a clean whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold them into the potato mixture. Pile the mixture back into the potato shells and return them to the top half of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown on top.
Serve immediately – with some home-made chutney to dip the skins in.

The IFRS Interpretations Committee is the interpretative body of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The IFRS Interpretations Committee meets every 2 months in London UK. See below for meeting materials.
This edition of IFRIC Update provides a summary of the IFRS Interpretations Committee's May 12 meeting. The meeting included discussions of the Committee's current agenda items, agenda decisions, issues considered for annual improvements, and discussion of other work in progress.
PwC Comments on IFRS IC tentative agenda decision: IFRIC 21 - Levies
PwC – 10/24/2014
PwC agrees with the Committee's decision not to take this item onto the agenda. We are concerned, however, that the tentative agenda decision will create confusion on how to apply the existing IFRS guidance and might create diversity in practice that does not exist today. Our letter offers some recommendations for the Committee to consider to alleviate any confusion.

'Dreamers' who left US miss immigration reform
NOGALES, Mexico — When U.S. President Barack Obama began stopping the deportations last year of some young immigrants living in the country illegally, Adriana Gil Diaz realized that she had just made the biggest mistake of her life by returning to Mexico.
Her mother took Gil to the United States without authorization when she was a baby, and she grew up and went to school in the legal shadows.
