As I am not a Middlebury resident, I hold no financial stake in the debate as to the best location for the Middlebury town offices and gym yet, as the controversy unfolded, I was disturbed by a sense of inconsistency in Middlebury College's role on this issue. I find a rather glaring disconnect between words and actions when it comes to Middlebury College's position on the environment.

Eminem, who released The Marshall Mathers LP 2 this week, participated in a Facebook Q&A with fans.
Within 15 minutes of announcing the Q&A session, the post featured more than 33,000 comments.
When asked what he would change about his latest album, he said he would add a track.
"I would have added 'Don't Front' on to the deluxe bonus disc, but we didn't clear the sample in time," Eminem said.
Eminem was also asked about a figure he admires from history.
"Ali," Eminem said. "[He] wasn't afraid of any challenge."
During the Q&A, Eminem was also asked about his hair color going back to blonde.
"Slim Shady's back, bitch," Eminem said.
Eminem also mentioned that Dido, who appeared on The Marshall Mathers LP's "Stan," was considered for a guest appearance on The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
"Yes," Eminem said. "[I] was considering her for 'Bad Guy,' but thought it might give it away."
During the session, Em was also asked about his opinion regarding Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
"I think they made a great album," Eminem said.
The rapper began the Q&A session by posting an image of himself sitting in front of a laptop logged on to Facebook.

Hyderabad: India is a hot spot for biodiversity, being a recognised mega-diverse centre of the world and holding about a tenth of the world's plant and animal species. Today, people's needs and greed both are leading to erosion of this precious gift of evolution.
At the same time, the country is home to 1.2 billion people or about 18 per cent of the world population and growing. Here, as both humans and wildlife jostle to survive in just 2.4 per cent of the globes land area, tensions are bound to happen and the loser is always biodiversity, even though humanity cannot survive without it. Some 12,000 experts from over 190 countries are deliberating in Hyderabad - over copious meals of biryani - how to save the world's gene pool as part of the ongoing Convention on Biological Diversity, hoping against hope to find the $400 billion needed to save the globe's Noah's Ark from sinking.
Pledging an additional $50 million over the next two years for biodiversity conservation in India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his inaugural address at Hyderabad said, "There is a realisation that ecosystem services form a much higher percentage of the "GDP of the Poor" than of classical GDP calculations. Biodiversity based livelihood options form the basis of rural survival in many parts of the world. Living at the periphery of subsistence, the poor are the most at risk from biodiversity loss. They should not also be the ones to bear the cost of biodiversity conservation while the benefits are enjoyed by society at large." Though, he lamented, "In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to find common ground on environmental issues." The economist Prime Minister, in a startling revelation, said, "Over 1000 cases of biopiracy have been identified (in India) and over 105 claims withdrawn or cancelled by patent offices."
The last century has seen at least four animal species go extinct from India: The iconic Indian Cheetah, Lesser Indian Rhino, Pink-headed Duck and the Himalayan Mountain Quail. These were lost to human greed and habitat loss. Today, another 929 species are listed as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), up from 648 in 2004. India's rank in the global shame list of nations struggling to protect its species diversity is 7, next to China.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is one of the most widely subscribed United Nations treaties with 193 countries having signed and ratified it. The only hold out is, surprise-surprise, the oldest democracy of the world: United States of America which has not ratified the convention and keeping it good company is the newly formed youngest democratic state of South Sudan which gained independence in 2011. The American Senate has not ratified the CBD since 1994. Some suggest the US does not like the clause on 'fair and equitable sharing of benefits of global biodiversity' - an essential backbone the treaty. With India assuming the presidency of the Convention, New Delhi should make its best effort to bring USA on board. Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan has said, "She will be talking to the US about this."
Till date, according to the government's National Biodiversity Authority (NBA), only about 70 per cent of the country's area has been explored fully from which about 150,000 plants and animal species have been documented by science. The Ministry of Environment and Forests, meanwhile, acknowledges that a 'wide gap' exists in mapping all the species.
Who knows how many species are still to be found and the rate at which we are losing pristine ecosystems, some say the loss is comparable to burning unread books from the library of life. It may come as a surprise to many but as recently as 2005, a new species of monkey - the Arunachal Macaque - was discovered by Indian biologists from Arunachal Pradesh; it was the first new monkey species for the whole world in a century. According the Zoological Survey of India, in 2011, it reported 193 new species of animals from India. Meanwhile, 173 alien species have also insidiously invaded India, with some of them spreading like weeds which includes Lantana, Congress grass and an algae called Kappaphycus spreading rapidly in the pristine Gulf of Mannar, and allegedly imported by the soft drink giant Pepsico.
While India struggles to protect the tiger, lion, elephant and the rhino, outlandish schemes to reintroduce the Indian Cheetah from Africa are being actively hatched. Even as the country is unable to find an alternative home to house the lion, all eggs are vulnerably today held in one basket and Gujarat's 'pride' is coming in the way of establishing another 'pride of lions' at Madhya Pradesh.
It is not that the country is not making efforts to protect the life giving biodiversity. Today, 4.8 per cent of the geographical area falls under protected areas and the only sustainable hope for the survival of wild tigers in the world is in the forests of India, with 1706 adult tigers roaming all over India in 2011 - up from 1411 in 2006. According to the Environment Ministry, the country currently spends about $2 billion on biodiversity. Some results are showing the IUCN has this week removed the Lion Tailed Macaque from its list of 25 most endangered primates as its numbers have improved. Consequently, Ms Natarajan says, "India speaks from a position of strength as we need to balance economic development, poverty alleviation and protection of biodiversity."
Unfortunately, compared to land, coastal areas have not fared well with just 1 per cent of the area being protected by 2012 and as per India's submissions to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the number was to go up to 10 per cent. Some 13,000 species have been recorded as marine biodiversity from India. India coral reefs and fish numbers are highly threatened as many-many developmental projects like ports and power plants are coming up all over the 8,000 kilometre coastline.
India is the centre of origin for many crop plants including rice, a grain that feeds about 3 billion people worldwide or about half the world's population. The country is home to 50,000 different varieties of rice, many now found only in the high security frozen bomb proof vaults of the National Gene Bank in New Delhi. Indian wild lands have, over millennia, nurtured important plants like wild mangoes, tea, sorghum, millets, pulses and animals like buffaloes, donkeys and goats. A 2010 estimate by NBA suggests that the economic potential of exports from the country of Indian biodiversity is about Rs 8850 crore. This does not include the domestic consumption.
India today is typified of a landscape of tiny segregated islands of forests in a vast hinterland of agricultural fields. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, about 23.4 per cent of the country is covered by forests today. Unfortunately, a large part of it is vast mono cultures of plantations raised for meeting the never ending hunger for wood. The country had hoped to raise its forest cover to 33 per cent of land area but as Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan recently lamented, "The last forest cover assessment actually showed a decline."
Today, the fringes of forests are slowly being nibbled away as people's needs expand as a consequence India's natural heritage is slowly being bled to death. May be it is time to revive Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy: "There is enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed."

AMANPOUR: They did. I always find it a difficult question. I'm born of a Catholic mother and a Muslim father and I'm married to a Jewish husband. So I have all of God's wonderful shapes in my DNA. It has helped me have an inclusive look at what religion is all about. I instinctively retreat from division. I don't want politics or religion to be a reason for division in my life or in other people's lives. I see so much war, killing and hatred; I can always see why it shouldn't be like that.
Amanpour doesn't declare she's Catholic there at all. She seems like a natural fit for the secular liberal media elite.

Fantasy Hockey Draft Rankings, Advice and Analysis
On the 'D'-fence: Players who deserve your attention
Tuesday, 03.27.2012 / 12:25 PM
Brian Metzer - NHL.com Correspondent
Every Tuesday during the season, NHL.com Correspondent Brian Metzer will provide you with an in-depth analysis of fantasy defensemen in our weekly segment: "On the 'D'-fence." From updated defensemen rankings to guys you should keep a close eye on and much more, Metzer will be your fantasy d-man expert all season long.
It is hard to believe that the
Boston Bruins
Philadelphia Flyers
officially dropped the puck on the North American portion of the National Hockey League season 173 days ago. The night started with a banner raising, but ended with a Bruins 2-1 loss, showing us all just how quickly things can change in a few short months.
A night like that gives hope to every team in the league, as being last year's champion doesn't mean much in the here and now. It proves that a new season is upon us and what might have been the case in June might not be the case in October. Unfortunately, there is a flip side to that thinking and what may be the case in October just might not apply in March either. That brings us to today, where the entire season and its outcome rides on how you play out the next twelve days.
Your team likely got to this point on the backs of a core group that you pulled together beginning on draft day and bolstered through trades and waiver pickups. However, to finish what you started, you are going to have to learn to make some tough decisions.
Leagues are full of guys who have no loyalty to their players and in this day and age, you need to forget who got you there and determine who can finish the job for you. Daily line-up shuffling or "running players" has gotten very popular and you need to identify the guys who can provide maximum games played, while at the same time maximizing statistical benefit across multiple categories and that's what we're going to try and help you do today.
There are seven teams in the league that still have seven games remaining on their respective schedules. The Rangers, Islanders, Penguins, Panthers, Lightning, Wild, and Bruins will all provide maximum bang for your games-played buck. The bulk of the remaining teams have six games remaining, while the Flames, Coyotes and Senators have just five games left in the hopper and the Avalanche only have four.
Though most of the fantasy studs from those teams are already on rosters, there are several players that should be on your radar over the final two weeks. We'll run through a few of them here as well as a few others including a why, games remaining and percentage owned in Yahoo! Standard leagues.
Paul Martin
(7 games remaining) -- Upon arriving in Pittsburgh last year Martin was paired with
Zbynek Michalek
in more of a defensive role, it didn't utilize his puck moving skills. He has spent much of 2012 skating alongside
Kris Letang
and it turned his season around. He has 5 assists, 12 shots on goal and has registered a plus-15 in 10 March games. He also gets to play with
Sidney Crosby
Jordan Staal
James Neal
and League scoring leader
Evgeni Malkin
on a nightly basis. He is owned in just 7 percent of Yahoo! Standard leagues.
Dmitry Kulikov
(7) -- We wrote about him earlier this season, but many have seemingly forgotten about him due to a significant chunk of time spent on the injured list. He is a very skilled offensive player, who possesses vision, a decent shot and his ownership has dropped to just 22 percent. He has just 1 assist in five games since returning to the Panthers, but he has logged 4 PIMs and 8 shots on goal. He'll show his value as the Panthers solidify their playoff standing.
Johnny Oduya
(6) -- Oduya has fit in wonderfully in Chicago and has posted 5 points, 16 shots on goal and registered a plus-4 over his last eight games. He could be in store for a bit of a spike as
Duncan Keith
begins serving his five game suspension. Oduya is owned in just 2 percent of leagues.
Joni Pitkanen
(6) -- Many have likely forgotten about the Finnish rearguard as he has spent the last 44 games on the shelf dealing with a knee injury. However he is back in the saddle with the Hurricanes and has already notched 2 points, 6 shots on goal and 2 PIMs in three games since returning. He will chip in over the final two weeks and is owned in just 25 percent of leagues.
Ryan Whitney
Ladislav Smid
(6) -- Though the Oilers aren't playing for a spot in the postseason, they still have their pride and it has shown through lately as they have posted a 3-0-2 record over their last five games. Leading the way on the back end is one expected source in Whitney, and one very much unexpected in Smid. Whitney has had an up and down season based largely on his lingering ankle/foot injury, but he has been great as of late picking up 4 points, 3 shots on goal and registering a plus-3 over his last four games. Though it's late, it is good to see him resembling the player that we all know him to be. Unlike his teammate Whitney, Smid is not known for his offensive prowess, but he has certainly flashed it of late. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Smid has scored 2 goals, tallied 2 assists, launched 8 shots on goal and registered a plus-5 over his last five games. He is also a great source for leagues that track time on ice, hits and blocked shots as he has logged 22:51 TOI, 7 hits and 12 blocked shots over his last four games. Both players are readily available in multiple leagues with Whitney being owned in just 41 percent and Smid being owned in just 3 percent.
Willie Mitchell
(6) -- We all know
Drew Doughty
Slava Voynov
, but have you considering taking a flier on Mitchell? Though he only has 18 points on the season and only 1 assist over his last four games, he could help in a couple of other ways. He skates over twenty minutes a night and is firing shots to the tune of 12 in his last four outings. At this point, it is all about winning categories and grabbing numbers for a roster spot that might have gone empty otherwise can make a big difference. Mitchell is owned in just 1 percent of leagues.
Nikita Nikitin
(6) -- Nikitin is no stranger to those who read this column, but he should be on your radar now more than ever. He has loads of offensive talent and will have a great opportunity to show it off over his final six games as
James Wisniewski
could very well be held out the rest of the way as he deals with the effects of a concussion. Nikitin has logged 4 points, 7 shots on goal and 12 blocked shots over his last five games. He is owned in just 4 percent of leagues and could be this year's
Grant Clitsome
Anton Babchuk
(5) -- Though he has just five games remaining, Babchuk has been hot over his last four, logging 1 goal, 3 assists, and 12 shots. Babchuk has only appeared in 27 games this season after missing time with a broken hand and being what can only be dubbed an odd man out. Proceed carefully, but he could provide a spark in spot-start duty the rest of the way, as he is owned in just 5 percent of leagues.

Students and faculty of the School of Public Affairs welcomed Meyer and Renee Luskin to their new namesake School during a school-wide reception held in the student lounge on Thursday, February 3, 2011. In front of a crowd of 150 enthusiastic well-wishers, students in shirts emblazoned with the new name of the school unveiled a 10-foot banner celebrating the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin School of Public Affairs.
The renaming of the School, in recognition of a generous $100 million gift to UCLA by the Luskins, was publicly announced on January 26, and the transition to the new name will formally take place during a campus ceremony on March 18, 2011.
Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr., dean of the School, remarked, "To me the significant part of the gift is that it places value on the work that we do, the people who are in the helping professions, who take care of the public good, who care about a greater cause than money or material things, and really try to change the world and make it a better place."
"This gift brings with it a deep sense of obligation, the Luskins have entrusted us with a legacy, and this is about being serious about thinking about the big problems that vex our society and the greater society as a whole. We should celebrate, and also recognize that we have a deep sense of responsibility to try and live up to the legacy of this gift." Also at the celebration were UCLA Chancellor Emeritus Albert Carnesale and former Massachusetts governor (and 1988 U.S. presidential candidate) Michael Dukakis, both now on the faculty of the Department of Public Policy.
Speaking of the significant endowment funds that the Luskins have gifted to the school (90 percent of the $50 million given to the school are dedicated for endowments), Professor Carnesale commented that "A gift of this magnitude will ensure not only that the school endures through bad budget times and has a reliable source of funding to accomplish important things, but in good budget times, it can really step up with new initiatives and new experiments that would otherwise be impossible."
Governor Dukakis, in closing the event, added his own take on Dean Gilliam's comments, "I don't want this place to change the world a little bit, I want us to educate people who change the world a lot," and pausing to turn to the Luskins in thanks, added, "and that is what your gift will enable us to do."

High-profile Seattle attorney Anne Bremner was belligerent during her arrest for drunken driving in June, calling the King County sheriff's deputy a "Nazi" and the "creepiest cop" she'd ever met, according a heavily redacted copy of the deputy's report Bremner released Friday.
High-profile Seattle attorney Anne Bremner was belligerent during her arrest for drunken driving in June, calling the King County sheriff's deputy a "Nazi" and the "creepiest cop" she'd ever met, according to a heavily redacted copy of the deputy's report Bremner released Friday.
Deputy Brandon Moen wrote that he could smell an "overwhelmingly strong odor of intoxicants" coming from Bremner's breath. As she was being driven to the King County Jail, Bremner, 52, threatened to sue Moen and called him a liar, the report says.
She began "hitting her head" on the plastic partition between the front and back seats in the police cruiser, apparently upset the deputy "wasn't responding to her comments," Moen wrote.
Bremner had sought to keep the deputy's report, video footage and other documents associated with her arrest from being made public. But she reversed course this week in King County District Court in Shoreline, pleading guilty Wednesday to driving under the influence.

At the time of her guilty plea, her attorney Bill Bowman said Bremner would withdraw her legal challenge that sought to keep the documents from being released, and said records would be available by Friday.
But as of 4:30 p.m. Friday, Bremner's case docket showed nothing had been filed with the state Court of Appeals to lift the stay that was keeping the records out of the public eye, according to King County sheriff's spokesman, Sgt. John Urquhart.
Instead, Bremner sent The Seattle Times a redacted version of the deputy's report, partial video footage and audio files of two 911 calls she had made before her arrest. Her name and other information was blacked out throughout the report.
If the stay had been lifted, the Sheriff's Office was prepared to release at least three reports from different officers, an officer's handwritten notes, a report from an investigator who examined Bremner's car, at least two e-mails, police radio transmissions, Bremner's 911 calls, a 911 call placed by another driver who observed her vehicle, and video footage from several areas in the Kenmore police precinct, Urquhart said.
Urquhart, who reviewed a copy of the report supplied to The Times by Bremner, said his office was not responsible for any of the redactions.
Bremner was arrested June 4 after a sheriff's deputy spotted her driving her BMW with a flattened tire in Kenmore.
In early August, Bremner claimed that on the night she was arrested, she had been the victim of a hit-and-run accident and had suffered a brain injury, resulting in behavior that mimicked signs of alcohol impairment.
On Wednesday, District Court Judge Douglas L. Smith fined Bremner $5,000, with $3,875 of it suspended. Smith also ordered her to serve two days in jail and to attend an eight-hour alcohol-education class. She also was sentenced to five years' probation and must have an interlock device installed in her car.

The problem is with the climate control, there is none. It appears to heat up initially, very hot, and then cool down, but too much. Not cold, but uncomfortably cool. Anyway, the dealership has just contacted me to say that the warrenty company will replace the part, something that seemed very unlikely yesterday. Thanks for your response.
Thanks very much for that. I'll certainly look into it. By the way, the dealership has just rung me to say that the warrenty people will pay for the repair, something that seemed unlikely yesterday. Good news.
No, sorry. I don't know what one is. The only reason I asked about the EAC module is that the local dealership said that it was probably this that was causing the fault. The real problem is that they were asking for over £450 for a replacement.
Thanks for this reply. It makes sense. Jim McG
Thanks for that. I'd heard something about Electronic Accelerator Control, but the fault on my car is to do with the heater climate controls so I really can't see the connection. As I said, thanks for taking the trouble to respond. Jim McG

Gaze the vast starscape at Comic-Con
List of Con 2012 celebrity panelists reads like a blockbuster movie's credits roll
Every summer, for just a couple days, San Diego becomes the pop-culture center of the universe. Producers, animators, illustrator and other comic aficionados descend on downtown for Comic-Con International.
But beyond the pages of geeky comic books and storm-trooper costumes, a slew of posh celebs and TV and movie stars will grace thousands of fans with their presence throughout the halls of the convention center.
Here's a preview of just what kind of star power will light up America's Finest City starting Wednesday:
Stan Lee: Even non-comic lovers have heard of the legend that co-created fan favorites like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. He'll be introducing his new YouTube channel on Thursday and will be joined by Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, and Adrianne Curry from "America's Next Top Model" at "Stan Lee's World of Heroes" panel.
Ellen Page: Been wondering what she has been up to besides her box-office-exploding films "Juno" and "Inception"? She has joined the video game world and will be talking about a project she's involved with called "Beyond: Two Souls" on Thursday.
Tim Burton: The genius behind movies like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Edward Scissorhands" has yet another fascinating project out with his upcoming Disney film "Frankenweenie." Burton will be at the Con on Thursday and "The Art of Frankenweenie" exhibit will be on display on Wednesday.
John C. Reilly: In movies, you've heard him sing, you've seen him race cars, you've seen him do karate with watermelons in a garage with Will Ferrell ... now see him in real life at Comic-Con on Thursday, where he'll be discussing his new movie "Wreck-It Ralph." Sarah Silverman will join him on the panel.
Jackie Chan: The karate legend will be sneaking around the Convention Center dressed as a ninja and taking down unsuspecting fans … just kidding. But he will be there on Thursday to promote his new movie "CZ12."
Elijah Wood: Everybody's favorite hobbit will be at the Con on Thursday, not dressed as a hobbit, unfortunately, but for a few new projects, including his upcoming movie "Wilfred," and then again on Friday for Disney XD's "Tron: Uprising."
Lucy Liu: The hard-core chick from movies like "Charlie's Angels" and "Chicago" will be kicking butt yet again in a contemporary telling of the Sherlock Holmes story on television called "Elementary." She'll drop by the Convention Center to talk about it on Thursday.
Sylvester Stallone: If you thought you've seen the last of Sylvester Stallone movie career, think again. On Thursday, Stallone will talk about "The Expendables 2." Stars of the movie like Liam Hemsworth and Bruce Willis aren't scheduled to attend, but you'll get next best thing, sort of, in Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Shaquille O'Neal: The Shaq at Comic-Con? He'll be joining The Black Panel on Friday to take questions from the audience about African-American pop culture and more.
Vanessa Williams: Just when you thought the multitalented beauty from "Desperate Housewives" and "Ugly Betty" couldn't get any sexier, she is back for more in a new show to come out this fall called "666 Park Avenue." Check her out at the Con on Friday.
Jessica Biel: A Comic-Con frequenter Biel will be back this year and is, hopefully, bringing along her equally famous fiancé, Justin Timberlake. She'll be on hand for a Q&A along with Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale in a panel for their upcoming movie "Total Recall."
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: This suave "Inception" star isn't coming to Comic-Con to promote "The Dark Knight Rises," but maybe he'll be willing to reveal some details about the movie while he joins Emily Blunt on Friday to discuss the futuristic action thriller "Looper."

Can someone point me to the documentation on zimbra and mobile devices?...black berries, pocket pc's, etc..
thank you
There are no public docs on this. At the moment you can sync each of these with desktop sync(using our Outlook Connector) for contacts/calendar and over-the-air IMAP for email.
In the next release you'll see our first beta for Treo/PocketPC based devices. Blackberry is something we are still working on and has not been released for public beta.
do you have an eta on the beta for pocket pc and blackberry?
thank you
PocketPC support will be in the next release which is slated for this month. Blackberry is slated for later this year. No specific dates yet.
will there be any extra fees for mobile device support?
thank you for answering me so quickly. I'm down to the wire on a decision for monday. I appreciate it.
For the solutions we offer naively like PocketPC it will be included in the Network license.Quote:

one wish for your mobile client.....I hope it's not too late for the first release:
I have the verizon client running now. A big problem is when it wakes up my pocket pc to do the sync. It's usually in my pocket during the event. The screen registers all kinds of random taps and buttons also all kinds of random clicks because the phone is moving around in my pocket.
It would be great if your mobile client made the device ignore all screen 'taps' and button clicks during sync, unless maybe a special key sequence was entered.
thank you,
What software do you use to sync? Are you sync'ing an Exchange account?Quote:

It actually works pretty good but nothing beats hosting your own, IMHO.

Onward and Upward
A Peruvian Honeymoon
We meet our crew for lunch and are able to give Aurelio some fresh avocados that we've picked up along the way. He quickly assembles them into our lunch of boiled potatoes and although it's a simple dish, it's so delicious after our early morning exertions. We hike some more in the afternoon – passing by some magnificent peaks and valleys– before heading back to the van for our drive to Santa Teresa. We camp near a lovely hostel, and spend the afternoon reading and relaxing in the sun. After a shower I'm able to assess the extent of the damage inflicted by the mosquitoes, which is (I'll admit) quite extensive and a little bit gross. I must have sensitive skin or something because my bites are so swollen that Cory tells me my legs look like a horror movie.
It's our last night with Aurelio and even though we've only had him and Edgar for 48 hours, they feel like a part of our team. They surprise us with a "Feliz Honeymoon" cake after dinner and I am amazed, once again, by the joy and the wonder of this trip.

Tuesday Afternoon News, September 3
Le Mars Police Warn Against New Phone Scam
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Police Department would like to make Le Mars citizens aware of a new scam. The scam involves the subject claiming to work for MicroSoft, and soliciting people by phone that if they would pay a $20 fee, they will receive anti-virus protection for the life of the computer. The subject will then ask for your debit card number and as a result of that will take money out of your bank account that you did not authorize. Le Mars Police would like to remind people that large companies such as MicroSoft do not solicit people over the phone and that if something does not seem right with what they are
offering you it is more than likely a scam. The Le Mars Police suggest not to give any vital bank account numbers over the phone, especially, if you did not place the call.
Le Mars To Clean Sewer Lines
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Water Treatment facility needs to have the sewer lines cleaned again in Section 3, or all areas south of 1st street SW to 18th Street SW and SE, and from 4th Avenue SW to 6th Avenue SE. Ron Kaiser, Superintendent for the Le Mars Wastewater Treatment plant says the cleaning is necessary to reduce the likelihood of sewer lines plugging. An outside contractor will do the sewer cleaning starting next Monday, September 9th. Kaiser says the cleaning could take up to six weeks to complete. He says you may experience some minor sewer problems and/or traffic congestion in the affected areas. If you live within the area designated to be cleaned, you can pour water down your floor
drains, have your sewer vent checked for blockages, and close your toilet lid.

Branstad Wants Everyone To Have Access To Broadband Internet
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad wants residents in every part of Iowa to have better access to broadband internet technology.
Branstad on Tuesday announced a new effort designed to improve broadband access and adoption across the state. Branstad says enhanced access will spur economic development, through business creation and by giving rural residents the ability to telecommute.
State officials note that Iowa ranks 11th out of 12 Midwestern states in the TechNet State Broadband Index. The index ranks states looking at household broadband adoption rates, network speeds available and the number of jobs that benefit from broadband technology.
Branstad has asked a committee that works on broadband access to provide him with recommendations on how to build out broadband infrastructure and also to create a long-term plan for the state.

Hermès' Relaxed Fall – Hermès creative director Christophe Lemaire took a turn from spring with a Gaucho, South American influenced collection for the label's fall 2012 showing. Loose-fitting designs such as heavy ponchos, coats and suit jackets steeped the latest outing in relaxed staples. A muted color scheme paired with leather gear and fedora style hats bring a masculine touch to the new season. Lemaire ended on a colorful note, introducing eclectic patterns and prints to the demure showing.
Different from others! Totally love it!
Very true to the theme. I also like the use of some older/different looking models than we normally see. Also, Alek Wek is back on the runway! And the tights/socks are gorgeous!

- Victorian Restoration > Episode 9: Work on the Driveway and Finishing the Deck
Building the Backyard Deck
Project: Victorian Restoration, Episode 9, Part 1
New pavers are laid down in the driveway outside the barn. Brian Kallmeyer and Nick Pastore (from Unilock) explain how to properly install the stone. Out back, Bob gives Charlie Tomaszewski a hand building a brand new mahogany deck. Upstairs in the main house, veneer plaster is being applied in the bedrooms. Finally, new barn-style doors are installed in the converted dairy storage building.
- Part 1: Building the Backyard Deck
- Bob is in the backyard of the Victorian restoration project house, where general contractor Charlie Tomaszewski is finishing up the picture framing for the mahogany deck. The mahogany will be left unfinished, allowing it to weather and take on a beautiful silvery sheen.
Charlie is working with mahogany in an assortment of lengths. He prefers to space his joints at least 32 inches apart, staggering them by at least two bays. He uses 16-penny spikes as spacers between the boards, as well as between the butt ends of the boards and the picture frame.
To avoid putting dimples into the mahogany, Charlie doesn't hammer the nails all the way in. Instead, he leaves them just on the surface, then uses a nail set to drive them home.
- Part 2: Working With Unilock Tumbled Concrete Pavers
- Part 3: Patching With Plaster
- Part 4: Replacing the Barn Door
Located just five miles from downtown Boston, Bob's scouts discovered a Victorian-era house in a neighborhood of family homes on tree-lined streets that was past due for a full-scale renovation.
The home's new owners, a work-at-home family, have set goals to modernize the home's floor plan, update the building's mechanical and electrical systems, and add home office and work spaces for two busy professionals.

THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN IN AMERICA: MACHINE GUNS, COAL DUST AND THE MAKING OF THE AMERICAN DREAMtheatre · red cat productions · Ages 13+ · family friendly · 1hr · United States ·
The most dangerous woman in America was a little old lady, age 83, called so by a prosecuting attorney in 1913. Her name was Mother Mary Harris Jones. Her children were the working men, women and children of America and she was fighting for their right to organize into labor unions. In THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN IN AMERICA, written by northwest playwright David Christie, the battle is laid out between those workers of America and the giants of the Industrial Age, and the American Dream is set in motion. In this one-woman show,starring Therese Diekhans, you will meet characters as diverse as John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Louis Tikas, a Greek-American miner and martyr of the Ludlow massacre in Colorado, Dennis McKee, a 10 year old breaker boy in the coal mines of Pennsylvania and an Alabaman senator. The scene is early 20th century, but the struggle resonates today in the early part of the 21st. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Posted in Uncategorized by L. Nicol Cabe – Jun 07, 2010
"The Most Dangerous Woman in America," a show by Therese Diekhans, was a great solo show I got to see this past weekend….within the first 5 minutes her dedication to story-telling swept my imagination away. I know a solo show has been good if I remember much more scenery, many more characters, than there actually were in the story, and that is how I remember this one. My brain remembers the hills of West Virginia, the dark, smokey bar where Mother Jones preached her union sermon, the dusty northern mills where children desperately tried to avoid losing limbs for 12 hours a day. None of these locations appeared on stage, although characters were in them at various times. But I remember them clearly, as though I had watched a movie of this instead of a bare stage solo performance.
Also, Therese Diekhans is off to the fringe festival in LA with her show — break legs, Therese!"
A solo show of sexual adventures, awareness, and awakening in Europe...with great travel photos too!

fill vacancies in the Enforcement Directorate to strengthen it to deal with the menace of blackmoney.
The government plans to induct 1,319 additional officers in the Enforcement Directorate to increase the strength to 2,064.
The treasury benches voted out the provisions in the Amendment Bill regarding appointment of sitting or retired judges of Supreme Court or Chief Justice of High Court as Chairman of the Appellate Tribunal to be set up under the Money Laundering law.
The government is finding it difficult to procure services of senior judges, Chidambaram said explaining the reasons behind voting out the clause which was proposed in the Amendment Bill.
He said the appeal against the decision of the Tribunal would be entertained by the High Court and not directly by the Supreme Court.
The Minister explained that offences under the Customs Act would also be covered by the Money Laundering law.
He said this in response to a question whether over-invoicing or under-invoicing would be a punishable offence under the Money Laundering Act.
The Bill also provides for attachment and confiscation of the proceeds of crime even if there is no conviction so long as it is proved that offence of money laundering has taken place and property in question is involved in money-laundering.
Earlier, initiating the debate, Nishikant Dubey (BJP) sought to attack the Congress and the government on the issue of blackmoney stashed away in Swiss bank accounts.
He claimed that despite the name of a sitting MP from the treasury benches in the list of Indians allegedly having Swiss bank accounts coming out, the government has not made a statement and asked Chidambaram to clarify.
Sanjay Nirupam (Cong) sought to turn the tables on the BJP by demanding that corruption be added in the bill.
In an oblique reference to a top BJP leader, he said a minister may favour a contractor using his position and later himself open a company which may get funds from the same contractor as a return favour.
Those who participated in the discussion included B Mahtab (BJD), Saugata Roy (TMC), Saidul Haque (CPI-M), M Thambidurai (AIADMK) and Raghuva.

Madonna House Ottawa is a poustinia within the larger community of Madonna House. This means that while we all live the same commitment we, in Ottawa, do so within the context of the poustinia.
Poustinia is a Russian word which literally means "desert." It is also a Russian tradition brought to us by our foundress, Catherine Doherty. In the pre-communist Russia of her youth and for generations before, poustiniks (those living in poustinia) were a normal part of Russian culture. To live in a poustinia was unusual but in no way extraordinary.
A person who felt called to the poustinia had first, after securing the blessing of his or her spiritual director, to find a village. He generally did this through pilgrimage and prayer. Once having discovered the village to which he felt God drawing him, the poustinik went to the elders and asked permission to live there as a poustinik. Permission was happily given, as Russians were glad to have a poustinik praying for them.
The poustinik was not a hermit. With the help of the villagers, he would build a little hut outside the village and was still very much a part of the village. He lived alone, praying for his own salvation, for the world, and especially for the people of the village. Prayer was his primary bond with all people.
But that was not the end of the poustinik's relationship with the village. The poustinik was also available to the people. When there were special needs, such as a fire to fight or hay to bring in, the poustinik would help. And whenever anyone had something he or she wanted to talk about - a question about prayer, a problem, a special joy or sorrow — he or she could go to the poustinik.
The poustinik welcomed everyone with the words, "Come and share what God in his goodness has given to me." This meant, first of all, that the poustinik listened. He shared with his guests the silent acceptance he himself received from God in the solitude of the poustinia. It also meant that he would share a cup of tea, bread, or whatever he had.
And it meant that, according to the need of his visitor, the poustinik would share what he himself had learned from God in his life of prayer, because the poustinik was always one who listened to God, as well as one who was aware of God listening to him.
In addition, the poustinik generally grew a garden, living simply from his own produce and whatever gifts the people of the village brought him. The poustinik fasted, again for his own salvation, for the world, and for the needs of the village. And as an extension and consequence of his attempts to limit his own needs, to pray and to listen, he cared deeply for the bit of creation in which he lived. He cherished the earth and all creatures.
Madonna House Ottawa is a poustinia in the marketplace. Ottawa is our "village." We are here with the approval of Archbishop Marcel Gervais, to pray for our own salvation, for the world, and especially for the people of the Archdiocese of Ottawa. And we are available as all poustiniks are to the needs of people. We listen. We share what God in his goodness has given to us.
Here in Ottawa we are able to share the poustinia itself. We have two rooms where people can spend 24 hours in the poustinia. This is a chance to enter the desert of your heart, to listen to God and allow him to listen to you. In order to create this desert space, there is silence and solitude, a fast of bread and water, makings for coffee and tea and only one book — the Bible.
To learn more, you can read articles about Madonna House in Ottawa.

12/27/2011, Allan's Cay, Exuma's, Bahamas
Tuesday 27 December 2011, Lizard Island, The Exumas
Last night Ulric left for shore leave with a huge monkey sticking out of his backpack. This is 'the new Monkey God': "Flamebo's Dad", Quinn's Christmas present.... (Flamebo is Quinn's most prominent money. He terrorizes the family on a daily basis...) The Monkey God decided to join Ulric for a beer in The Green Parrot.
From across Nassau Harbour, our mast lightning looks like 'a tall building or fancy skyscraper' (to quote Elliott!) My own observation was that our mast points right at Polaris, The Pole Star. However... our posh new lightning is dwarfed completely by the cruiseship just across the water, decked out for Christmas (or Junkanoo?!) in a whole department store worth of fairy lights. I said to Ulric: you just can't win, can you?!
Some of the conversations on this ship are surreal. Like Ulric saying: 'Sadly we don't have the glue to fix Brendan's poo' (one of Brendan's Christmas presents was a plastic joke turd from the Tiger Shop in Lewisham).
It is a funny existence, being thrown together like this in a confined space 24/7. The phrase 'all hands on deck' means exactly that: at the fuel pontoon this morning all five of us had a task. The Almqvist family works as a team.
Having said that... as soon as we have tied up or gone for anchor, Brendan climbs down again and says proudly: "I am off duty now!"
As I can't take an Omen Walk here (at home the school run is my 'omen walk' for client work!) I make a spectator sport out of reading boat names to get a fix on the day. The first boat I saw in Nassau this morning was called DOLPHIN ENCOUNTERS and I thought: WOOHOO!
The next boat I saw was called Mairi Read and I thought OH NO! because she was one of the most notorious pirates in the history of the Bahamas. She would dress as a man and seems to have possessed the nine lives of a cat, getting into many scrapes and shoot outs. No pirates on our path today please... maybe we can frighten them off by hoisting our own skull & crossbones flag?!
Today our destination was Lizard Island in the Exumas. We just watched the sun set behind Lizard Island. We will go and meet the lizards on the beach tomorrow morning. Brendan has already reminded us that we need to ASK FOR THEIR PERMISSION before we go ashore. Natural born shaman - that one!
Right now it is 6.15 pm. Darkness has cloaked Lizard island and we are safely for anchor in the horseshoe shaped small bay. Soon I will go on deck to greet the Moon and the stars. Ulric and I spent some time on deck last night with the new binoculars. It was fun zooming in on Uranus and Sirius, but even in Nassau there is a lot of light pollution.
Elliott has started writing a newspaper here on board, by the title of The Weekly Herald. It will report the news and have a comic strip plus the details of Elliott and Brendan's 'piano recitals'. It is going to cost about 75p a copy, Elliott is already touting for business. I have told him that Farmor is bound to be a loyal customer!
By Imelda Almqvist
12/26/2011, Nassau
Monday 26 December 2011, Boxing Day, Nassau
Early this morning Harbour Patrol arrived and requested, extremely politely, that we go for anchor closer to the shore. Apparently we had plonked ourselves bang in the middle of the 'traffic lane' here in Nassau Harbour, after dark last night.
Breakfast becomes more 'fast than feast' for every day, because we are running out of supplies. Let's hope one supermarket is open here in Nassau on Boxing Day...
We loaded the dinghy up with rubbish and family members (yes, in that order!) and Quinn piloted us ashore. The little marina that never answers the phone has no berth for us and they do not have a dinghy pontoon either. We were redirected to 'The Green Parrot'!
There Quinn dropped the lock for the dinghy in the water and decided to dive in to retrieve it. After a few attempts he managed (he lock had buried itself in the sand, not easy to find). And so four of us plus an extremely wet Quinn walked into town.
As it is Boxing Day, the great festival of JUNKANOO is on and we arrived just in time to watch the parade. I have always wanting to see a spectacle like the Carnival in Rio.
The origins of Junkanoo are unknown, though what has evolved is a musical tradition that is an enduring symbol for the country. Some claim that the name originated from the slaves that arrived here in the Bahamas during the 17th century. The Africans brought with them the legend of John Canoe, a fierce tribesman. Others claim that the word 'junkanoo' comes from "gens inconnu" (unknown or masked person in French).
Junkanoo is traditionally celebrated on Christmas because this was when the slaves were given time off. That plus New Year's morning. (If we are lucky we might celebrate Junkanoo again in Georgetown next week!)
Junkanoo is perceived as a pagan celebration of life - which is certainly how it felt to me this morning! The revelers wear masks and facepaint, but that is only the start. They also wear elaborate costumes and whole floats are created dedicated to certain themes. This morning I saw floats with a Chinese theme, a Warrior theme, an underwater theme (sea horses and mermaids!) and many MANY other concepts.
Many dancers carry musical instruments: traditional instruments such as the goombay drum (with a goat's or sheep's skin), cowbells, whistles and foghorns as well as brass instruments. This morning I saw trumpets, trombones, French horns and those really huge horns, the name escapes me in English, tubas I think!
The costumes are fabulous, it must take months, if not a whole year to make them. Lots of glitter and peacock feathers! The great thing is that normally it is 'not done' to go around taking photographs of people, but this morning it was positively encouraged! Every float, or set, is accompanied by a 'parade marshal' (a supervisor keeping an eye on things) and several of those marshals noticed my camera and invited me to 'go for it', getting the dancers to turn their faces to me and demonstrate their best moves.
This was pagan, folklore, anthropology and photography HEAVEN!!! In my most fanciful moments I call myself an 'amateur anthropologist... Pappa Ulric and the boys found a pizza place to hide in from the noise and fortify themselves, but there was no dragging Mum off the streets of Nassau. Mum was off with the band and her camera! Got excellent footage too... of little girls dancing and huge men banging huge drums... When things calmed down a little we even found a tiger float for Brendan to have his picture taken with!
All good things come to an end so we did make our way back to Queenie eventually.
Right now Ulric is fixing a leak. He opened one of the lockers in my cabin and I spotted daylight coming in. Not a good sign below the waterline on any ship... EEKS! He is out in the dinghy with a tube of epoxy. However, as we are still in the shipping lane, albeit more tucked out of the way, every time he squirts the epoxy in the hole, another boat passes and their wake knocks the epoxy right out again. So our captain is now contemplating doing the repairs after darkness when things calm down on the water... he is not the happiest of campers exactly right now...
This evening we are going to dine out at The Green Parrot! Plan is to bring a USB stick with all blogs written so far copied onto it, as we have not been able to post for nearly a week due to computer failure and complete lack of internet access.
My hardest task for today is going to be choosing a picture to go with this blog. Wish I could post 50 pictures instead....
I need to climb out now and keep my appointment with Father Sun. This is one of my traditions on the boat: everyday I sit on deck and observe the sunset from beginning to end and thank Father Sun for shining another day. Silly? As a shamanic practitioner I don't think so, someone has got to do it!
By Imelda Almqvist
12/25/2011, Nassau, Bahamas
Sunday 25 December 2011, Christmas Day
As I walked into the main cabin this morning, the boys were singing:
"Snow is falling...
All around us... " etc.
I glanced out of a porthole and was blinded by sparkling turquoise waters... so much for the "snow"!
The Almqvist family gathered around the Christmas Tree and opened presents. In truth my thought was how little it takes for a family of five to celebrate Christmas: a small tree (optical light fiber one for the boat, can be used for a human lifetime...at home we have a small potted pine tree), some old fashioned wooden tomtar (Elves) to do 'most of the work'... a modest pile of presents... there is no need for more really...
Brendan cuddles up and whispers in my ear: the 'kissing therapy' is starting to pay off, Mummy, this morning Quinn admitted that he likes kisses... an occasional kiss anyway, when no one is looking.... Brendan sighs with satisfaction: "two years of hard work Mum, but it was worth the result!!!"
The biggest Christmas present of all we did not fly halfway around the world: a Fender Strad electric guitar for Quinn, with amplifier and carry case... so he can take it to band practice on Monday afternoons! Maybe we should have bought the four family members NOT in the band noise canceling headphones.... That would have been kind... but hey, The Almqvists are entering the Teenage Years with style.... as Quinn's hormones swing into Rock & Roll mode... (and Elliott's aren't far behind....EEKS!)
Next Elliott cuddles up and says: "I have spotted a coincidence! Isn't it funny that Martin Luther and Martin Luther King have almost identical names? And both changed the world!" I suspect that ML King may well have been named after the great church reformer - but I'd need to do research to be sure. I remind Elliott that in Sweden the national religion is the Lutheran faith. Farmor is a 'Lutheran Christian with a "Zen streak"...' but Elliott has lost interest at this point, he runs off to play with his Christmas presents.... And all boys were very happy with the £10 pounds they got from Farmor Tomte! It is far more interesting of course than Farmor's religious leanings....
One human-size Tomte with a beard (but no red hat) really spoiled me. I had wished for a telescope (for observing the night sky) but the Optic Shop advised the Swedish Elf to go for stabilizing binoculars instead. Telescopes need 'terra firma' (solid ground) to be mounted and get their bearings. This is no good on a boat due to the constant motion (rock & roll!)... I can use these binoculars at home as well: climb the tree castle and lie on the roof terrace, then just point at whatever captures my interest (handsome male Goldsmith's College students undressing in their dorms across the railway tracks?! Haha!)
After lunch we left the Berry Islands and set course for Nassau. We just went for anchor in Nassau Harbour. The only 'visual' I have of Nassau is footage of palm trees being flattened by Hurricane Irene sweeping through in August. Something comes full circle as we arrive here at last: we set an intention, we had an appointment... or in American English 'a destiny date'! WE ARE HERE!
As we approached Nassau, I watched the perfect sunset followed by Venus appearing overhead. Brendan spotted the next great feature shyly taking her place in the sky: a tiny sliver of Moon returning after 3 days of New Moon, Dark Moon. Brendan and I just gazed at the perfection of it: the pink and orange 'water colour sky'... perfect backdrop for 'the smile in the sky'.... Venus (the left eye) .... One closed eye (just sky) and the Moon as a curvy crescent smiling down on us. Who says that the Great Creator doesn't give us 'proof' of his/her existence.... It is a matter of knowing where to look...
The next great event was Orion rising over Nassau, hand in hand with Cassiopeia and Uranus. Some fancy buildings on the Nassau skyline looked like elderly owls welcoming us.
Quinn is telling me how much he is looking forward to playing his electric guitar. His boy band used to be called FLIPSWITCH but the name changed recently... When I press him on the issue he says: it is either HELL HOLES AND HALOS or it is HELL HOLES AND HEROS.... I am not sure....
Then I ask him about the songs the band writes and practices. One is called UFO and another one is 'EVERY ENDING HAS A BEGINNING'... apt for the time of year... wouldn't you agree? The Band has offered to play at Brendan's birthday party.... For a fee....
Stars are shining
All around us...
Snow is falling
All around us...
Children playing
Having fun...
It is the season for love and understanding

How mobile security is fueling subscriber insecurity
Data Privacy Day--an annual international event spearheaded by the National Cyber Security Alliance to promote digital privacy awareness--is on tap for Jan. 28. Perfect timing given the hubbub Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) stirred up this week with the announcement that beginning March 1, it will connect user data across desktop and mobile services including Google+, Gmail and YouTube, consolidating more than 60 documents into its main Privacy Policy in a move to streamline standards across its platform. "The main change is for users with Google Accounts. Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you're signed in, we may combine information you've provided from one service with information from other services," Google director of privacy Alma Whitten writes on the Official Google Blog. "In short, we'll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience."
Whitten goes on to outline potential consumer benefits of the move. "We can make search better--figuring out what you really mean when you type in Apple, Jaguar or Pink," she writes. "We can provide more relevant ads too. For example, it's January, but maybe you're not a gym person, so fitness ads aren't that useful to you. We can provide reminders that you're going to be late for a meeting based on your location, your calendar and an understanding of what the traffic is like that day. Or ensure that our spelling suggestions, even for your friends' names, are accurate because you've typed them before. People still have to do way too much heavy lifting, and we want to do a better job of helping them out."
But consumers who log into Google services won't be able to opt out of the revamped guidelines--and that has critics crying foul. "Google's new privacy announcement is frustrating and a little frightening," Common Sense Media chief executive James Steyer told The Washington Post. "Even if the company believes that tracking users across all platforms improves their services, consumers should still have the option to opt out--especially the kids and teens who are avid users of YouTube, Gmail and Google Search."
The question is how much consumers actually know about their privacy options, and about data security as a whole. A new survey conducted by the National Cyber Security Alliance and mobile security and productivity applications provider NQ Mobile indicates that user concern outstrips comprehension: While almost three-fourths of American consumers are aware of and worried about smartphone security and privacy threats, only 50 percent of respondents know how to turn off or set permissions for location tracking, and just 38 percent know how to disable geotagging. Ninety-five percent of subscribers believe at least one entity can track their location while their phone is on, although which entities users feel are capable of doing so varies widely--87 percent believe carriers can track a device's location, followed by hackers (57 percent), legitimate apps (54 percent) and data aggregators (24 percent).
Moreover, while 70 percent of smartphone users told the NCSA and NQ Mobile they have some kind of security or security software on their phone, only half actually could identify what type of security solution it is. Fifty-eight percent of smartphone users reveal they don't know enough about mobile security to decide whether they need it or not, and a majority of those without any mobile security features or safeguards don't have them because of a lack of understanding or complacency. "It's clear that smartphone users take protecting their data and privacy seriously, but they don't feel they know enough about how to keep their mobile devices safe," said NQ Mobile co-CEO Omar Khan in a statement.
The smart money says Google implemented its new standards to beat legislators to the punch--"that by creating a one-stop shop for privacy policy it will deflect regulatory action," Center for Digital Democracy executive director Jeff Chester told the Associated Press. There's no telling whether Google's plan will work, but with consumer confusion over digital privacy so pervasive, its proactive approach is a model other mobile players should follow. The Mobile Marketing Association is off to a good start: This week, the trade association finalized its MMA Mobile Application Privacy Policy guidelines, intended to offer developers a framework for creating more secure user experiences. The MMA supplies developers annotated guidance on core privacy principles alongside consumer-friendly language to consider using; the document also suggests ways to inform users on how data is obtained and used and offers guidance on security and confidentiality of information. It's a significant step towards pushing the realities of mobile privacy into the public eye.--Jason

George Wainaina, UNON staff member
I was an 18-year old form five student at Kabarnet High School, located in the then remote part of Baringo district of Rift Valley province, eager to learn and enter into the adult life in the emerging Kenyan nation. In February 1972 our Geography teacher, Ruben Chebii (bless his soul), would in his teaching focus our young minds into issues of environment, biodiversity and the food chain etc… and how the human race could make or break what nature has over centuries kept in perfect balance.
Then we heard through radio and read in newspapers of that big conference in Nairobi, (over 400 kilometers from where we sat learning about environment and in our minds a whole world away from us), that was bringing together all the nations of the world to bring attention and do something about the environment.
40 years down the line, the need to do more to maintain that elusive perfect balance is even more relevant and urgent. For UNEP, the job is still a long way from being done. But then, we salute you for what you have achieved in the last 40-odd years.

Camera, Lens, Petzval, Corona
This is a Petzval lens used from 1962-1972 in the KH-4 through KH-4B cameras that took photographs of the Earth's surface in the US photoreconnaissance satellite program, codenamed Corona. From an altitude of around 120 miles, the cameras photographed targets in the USSR and other nations. The film was reeled onto spools in a film return bucket that separated from the satellite, reentered the Earth's atmosphere, and then deployed a parachute that permitted an Air Force plane to retrieve it. By the end of the program in May 1972 the resolution of the cameras had improved dramatically to about two meters (six feet). The crack in the lens was made during the manufacturing process. Itek made this unflown lens and Hughes Danbury Optical Systems donated it to NASM in 1996.

A police chief is removed from normal duties in September last year and was expected to face a police disciplinary tribunal, not because he had raided the police benevolent fun or raped Chief Constable's secretary, No Siree, His career was trashed for making "lewd" remarks to various women. One complaint was that he looked at a woman wearing a tailored blouse and remarking "nice buttons". What the hell is the matter with women these days? Couldn't they quietly tell him to piss off before he gets into trouble.
These aggrieved women will be pleased to know he wont be making any more bawdy comments to them, he hanged himself yesterday aged 49 leaving three teenage daughters and a twelve year old son.
