News: Corps of Engineers completes Arghistan River bridge bypass
Story by Karla Marshall
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Afghans now have an alternative to driving over the Arghistan River bridge in Kandahar province. On Dec. 31, 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Afghanistan Engineer District-South reached substantial completion on the $3.1 million bypass project which was awarded in September 2010.
"This bypass ensures that traffic from Weesh-Chaman [a border crossing point with Pakistan] has a viable route to Kandahar City and points west," said Robert Greco, the project manager. "The project was funded with Commander's Emergency Response Program dollars and began Mar. 15, 2011."
ECC/ASCC Joint Venture, the construction contractor, expected to complete the project sooner; however, abnormally heavy rains in September and November 2011 delayed completion.

Lewis did take the win, as it was presented to him. Seb had done a great job of managing the gap and during the first stint was able to coax Lewis into wasting his tires. Seb had done exactly the same thing in the second stint until the cucumber boy decided to intervene... I suspect Seb would have continued to tantalize Lewis as he had done in the first half of the race, until he ruined his tires. Unfortunately the coverage in the US decided to focus on the back markers so we have no idea about the next 4 or 5 laps and what happened such that Lewis was able to stay clear of Seb and the DRS. For me though, Massa had the best drive of the race.

I bought this phone two months ago. It is very nice as a phone - compact, light, with enough volume in the headset so I can hear it with the car top down (but not at 80 mph!). The keyboard is logical and lightly backlit. All the set up and control functions can be accessed at the press of a button.
It has lots of really nice features. The 1.8" screen is bright and colorful, with good resolution. It has a built in camera which takes fairly good pictures which you can use as your screen's background. You can also e-mail and upload the pictures if you pay for the service. The battery lasts forever. The phone has PCS web access. You can also download games and programs to make the phone more functional. It has a built in calculator. You can use it as a modem if you purchase a USB cable and software (which Sprint no longer provides). You can upload the pictures to Sprint's web cite and then e-mail them. The pictures you take or d/l can be displayed as four to a screen thumbnails.
So, what's the catch? "Sprint" charges for everything. And the contract is for two years. You can upload pictures, backgrounds, ringers and software from your computer -- if you buy for the cable and software, which Sprint no longer supplies, but I can't find software to d/l my pictures directly to the computer. (The cable and software can be purchased separately, but not together! There are three sets of software -- again each sold separately!) If you want access to your pictures, you have to upload them to Sprint's web cite, and then download. Sprint charges for this service. I bought a USB cable to try to use the phone as a modem. I used it for a very short period, and had my phone turned off the next day because I ran up a bill of $80.00. In some ways, it is kind of offensive. At least they reversed the charge because I had two months free trial! And trying to get through to customer service to get them to correct the problem is an impossibility.

I was driving my car down the road and it just quit and it won't start back up. The fuel pump turns on. checked the spark plugs and their's no spark. I've tried replacing the ignition spark module and that didn't work either. I just don't know what else to check. The parts are so expensive for this car and just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

San Jose, Calif. - Led by Shelvin Mack's 25 points, Butler drilled a flurry of 3-pointers on the way to outscoring UTEP 50-26 in the second half Thursday in a 77-59 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 5-seeded Bulldogs will play No. 13 seed Murray State on Saturday.
Mack hit a career-high seven 3-pointers and scored 18 of his 25 points after halftime Thursday evening, leading No. 5 seed Butler past UTEP in the first round of the NCAA tournament's West Regional. The Dogs will face Ohio Valley Conference champion Murray State, who defeated No. 4 seed Vanderbilt 66-65 on a buzzer-beater by Danero Thomas.
"Let me be the master of the obvious and say that when you hit (10) threes (three-point field goals) in a half, you have to feel pretty good about where you're headed," said Butler head coach Brad Stevens.
Sophomore Gordon Hayward added 13 points and junior Matt Howard had 11 as the Bulldogs (29-4) won their 21st straight game to extend the sport's longest active winning streak -- but only after a dynamic rally from a six-point halftime deficit. The Bulldogs made a 22-4 run after halftime led by Mack, who hit five 3-pointers in the first 11 minutes.
Derrick Caracter had 20 points and nine rebounds for UTEP, which won 16 straight games and a league title before a tournament loss to Houston last Saturday.
Randy Culpepper added 16 points, but the Miners' defense couldn't stop the patient outside shooting of the Bulldogs, who advanced in the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years.
Butler, which shot 10-for-13 from 3-point range after halftime, made a perfect run through the Horizon League, winning every conference game before also winning the tournament to capture a No. 5 seed in the NCAAs, matching the highest in school history. The Bulldogs have not lost since Dec. 22 at UAB and own the nation's longest winning streak with 21 consecutive victories.
Butler immediately took control after trailing by six at halftime, with Mack hitting two 3-pointers in the first 90 seconds. The Bulldogs took the lead on a 3-pointer by senior Willie Veasley, and after UTEP briefly went back ahead 37-36, Veasley's free throw started Butler on its decisive 13-0 run. BU's largest lead came in the final minute when a trey by Mack put the Dogs up 77-56. UTEP hit a 3-pointer seconds later to provide the final margin.

There is general agreement that our roads are overcrowded, over-used and that the demands continue to grow. There is agreement too that the solution is not simply building more roads. The growing consensus is that somehow, we should travel less. Unfortunately, although this glaringly obviously proposition may actually be reasonable and sound, it would require some sacrifices by road users: as ever, when a problem needs solving, everybody seems to want someone else or some other 'interest' to pay the price. Building more roads may be the preferred policy of the construction industry — what a surprise! — but making it easier and quicker to drive around simply increases the usage of the available road space and creates a demand for more.
The freedom to travel is our right but rights necessarily and quite correctly are balanced with responsibilities. Any decision or policy which curtails our travel inclinations attracts hostility but we cannot deny the fact that like the Americans, we're in love with the car and we've just got to accept that this is a problem. It's a problem both caused and exacerbated by short-sighted planning decisions. Urban sprawl allows only for access by road and the plethora of out-of-town shopping centres demands more and more road usage, while damaging the commercial health of towns.
Only an overall reduction in road usage will address the problem effectively. We need less usage at all levels but for that to come about, a twofold strategy is required: make car usage economically less attractive while making alternative arrangements more attractive and available.
The economic lever is the only one that would work but there is no need for an additional — and highly expensive both to set up and administer — method. One already exists: fuel taxes. Why not have a VAT-type "through" tax which would make it significantly more expensive for casual travel but was recoverable by commercial or industrial users? At the same time, scrap vehicle excise tax, to give some economic cushion for those who needed their car — rural communities, for example.
This would only make strategic sense if the revenue generated was hypothecated and used to support public transport, not excluding the canal system. If the fuel prices were sufficiently high, the congestion and road usage generally would be more easily contained. Yes, there will be sufferers. Whatever solution is proposed will hurt someone or other but at least this would automatically generate the finance necessary to make alternative transport attractive and available.

The long night
Cynical politics have undermined war-time efforts before
Senate Democrats, who had announced an all-nighter July 17 to reiterate their anti-war positions, packed it in shortly before midnight, surrendering to a greater desire for a few hours of sleep. Only a handful of stalwart senators kept the Senate-technically-in session. We know that Senate Democrats don't have the staying power to win the war in Iraq, but can't they even make it through the night?
"Harry, sweetheart," said Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who led a group of Democrats in pleading with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a delay in voting, "5:30 or 6?"
Reid complied and senators abandoned the chamber so fast you would have thought it was on fire.
This was not a demonstration of the strength needed to strike fear in the hearts of those who can tough it out in caves while plotting new ways to destroy us.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Texas Republican, noted that the surge of 30,000 American troops is in its infancy and in fact has just been completed in the last two weeks, "and yet we're pulling the rug out from under the new plan. . . . We cannot be the greatest country on earth and say, 'don't trust us if you're our ally and don't fear us if you're our enemy.' And that's exactly what we would be doing if we leave Iraq because Congress sets a deadline, regardless of what's happening on the ground in Iraq."
Democrats are fond of saying that the United States should be fighting al-Qaeda, but not in Iraq, and that if we pull out, or pull back, we will have more resources to fight terrorists. This is like saying we should not have fought the Japanese in World War II in order to devote more resources to defeating Hitler.
Since the American Revolution, there have always been naysayers, doubters, fellow travelers, and willing or duped enablers of America's enemies. There have been politicians, academics, clergy, and journalists who claimed that U.S. foreign policy, whether promoted by a Democratic or Republican president, was the wrong policy. Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt had strong opposition to their conduct of the Civil War and World War II. Harry Truman left office with record low approval ratings. Those presidents eventually won favor from historians and most Americans because they stuck to their guns-figuratively and literally-and were proved right.
There will be plenty of time for debate in September when the report on the effectiveness of the surge comes from Gen. David Petraeus. Do Democrats fear it will be a positive and so they are doing their best to undermine it now? Has our politics become so cynical that some would prefer defeat for political advantage rather than victory?

Underwriter bought meals for Poway board
Board member Penny Ranftle did not respond to requests for comment on the $472 in meals she received from Stone & Youngberg since 2008. Board member Andy Patapow deferred comment on his $300 in meals to the district.
Malliga Tholandi, assistant superintendent for business services, reported receiving a $52.97 dinner from the underwriter Nov. 17, 2011, and reported receiving a $52.97 dinner the same day from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, special legal counsel on the bond deal. That firm collected $65,000 for work on the bond sale. Tholandi deferred to the superintendent for response.
High cost of school bond shocks Poway Unified
Poway Unified residents fume over expensive bond
School bond reform gaining support
Lawmaker sought to stop controversial bond financing
District parent Andrew Skale said the meals merit scrutiny.
"Certainly given some of the terms of this bond, especially the fact that it cannot be paid off early, it does raise the question of was there anything improper that occurred," Skale said. "Certainly they should have done whatever the law requires, but it would be nice to tell the voters that the underwriters were providing entertainment to district officials."
Fellow Poway resident and parent Laura Van Tyne was actively involved in advocating the passage of the Proposition C voter-approved bond program in 2008. She said the details of how the district financed the bonds and the meals raise motivation concerns.
"My concern would be that when these transactions happen, is it really for the greater good or is someone trying to buy them?" she said. "I don't think the intention with this bond was to (hurt) the people of Poway, but it was not looked at very thoroughly, and even though the board does not have all the financial savvy to make the decision, they hired consultants that did and those consultants failed us."
Based in San Francisco, Stone & Youngberg was purchased by St. Louis-based Stifel Nicolaus last July. Stifel Nicolaus officials declined to comment.

May 29, 2016
Meridian police say officers responded to a report of a robbery at residence about 4:30 Saturday morning. The incident was in the 200 block of 23rd Street.
Police say a 76-year-old victim said a masked man came into his home and robbed him by force of his money. The suspect then fled the scene on foot. The victim was not able to give a detailed description.
Also Saturday, police say they responded to a strong armed robbery at a motel on North Frontage Road. The victim told officers he was robbed by two black males who were staying in the room with him, but he was unable to provide a description of the suspects. The victim received minor injuries.
Police say they were called to a hospital emergency room about 4 a.m. Saturday because a man had been shot in the hand. The victim said he had been shot two hours prior while he was walking in the 3200 block of 11th Street. The victim could only say that a white car was driving by when he was shot.
Meridian police say they are investigating a drive-by shooting that occurred in the 1600 block of 34th Street around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. The MPD said it was reported that a small white car fired a shotgun blast at a parked vehicle at residence. No one was injured and only the vehicle was struck.

In YQL console my query is working fine.
but when I send request from my app or I hit the url on browser its showing me above error. Has anyone solved this error before, if yes please tell what process should i follow?

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am trying to write something and getting the same error. Thanks.
It sounds like you have not completed the oAuth steps are trying to connect directly?
Here's Yahoo's guide on oAuth:
If this is not the case and you've already completed these steps, let me know.
Also, when posting it is useful if you can post your URI parameters or what you're actually doing in addition to the results.
The whole process just seems way too complicated to me. What I'm trying to do is very simple but I can't even get results using the YQL console. I just want to execute a YQL query to list the rosters of fantasy football teams in my league from last year. I did something similar last year but for some reason can't get any data returned now.
Just running a simple query like:
select * from fantasysports.games where game_key='nfl';
Does not return data:
"query": {
"count": 0,
"created": "2014-05-09T19:03:40Z",
"lang": "en-US",
"diagnostics": {
"publiclyCallable": "true",
"url": {
"execution-start-time": "0",
"execution-stop-time": "21",
"execution-time": "21",
"http-status-code": "500",
"http-status-message": "INKApi Error",
"content": "http://fantasysports.yahooapis.com/fantasy/v2/games;game_keys=nfl"
"user-time": "21",
"service-time": "21",
"build-version": "0.2.2467"
"results": null
OK. I was able to get through the oauth process. Even after doing so, my page that tries to access the actual data gets the following:
{"error":{"lang":"en-US","diagnostics":null,"description":"Authentication Error. The table fantasysports.games requires a higher security level than is provided, you provided ANY but at least USER is expected"}}
The Yahoo authorization page comes up and acknowledges that the application is trying to access Fantasy Sports data but I still get the error.
Chris, I'm having the same issue with accessing the Fantasy Sports API via the YQL console. Haven't found anyone who can explain what is going on, but enough people have chimed in that it seems safe to conclude that the Fantasy Sports API is nonfunctional via the console.
I have the same problem
Ever any luck here?

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado - Though the science behind it is admittedly a work in progress, Garfield County commissioners on Monday signed off on a plan that suggests a 93 percent reduction in what's considered suitable habitat for the greater sage-grouse in the county, compared to the area being evaluated by federal land managers.
The draft Garfield County Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Plan was presented Monday to the commissioners by a team of hired consultants who were asked to do a county-specific scientific analysis of the suitable habitat for the bird.
Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution in support of the draft findings, and establishing a policy for protecting greater sage-grouse habitat on both public and private lands.
But that just sets the stage for a likely showdown with the feds over whose science is better.
"Our goal here is to make sure the science is right, and not just bent to what we or anyone else wants to hear," Garfield Commission Chairman John Martin said, adding he's prepared to take the argument all the way to Congress.
Beyond the computer modeling used to identify the bird's habitat, though, Martin said the findings will need to be proven through follow-up field work.
"We have to make sure this plan stands up to challenges, because it is going to be challenged," he said.
Without an adopted statewide sage-grouse protection plan in place, it will be incumbent on counties to offer up their own local protection plans for consideration, said Margaret Byfield of the Texas-based American Stewards of Liberty, which is assisting the county in its coordinating role with the Bureau of Land Management.
"You are leading the way in doing this, not only in Colorado, but for all 11 states that are affected by this issue," Byfield said.
The BLM is currently developing a plan to protect the greater sage-grouse on public lands in those states in an effort to keep the bird off of the federal threatened and endangered species list.
Local officials from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, in particular, along with the oil and gas industry, have expressed concerns that those measures could hamper drilling activities, especially if the bird's habitat is overstated.
Earlier mapping provided by Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials identifies roughly 221,000 acres in the rugged area northwest of Rifle, extending along the Roan Plateau north of Parachute and De Beque, as priority greater sage-grouse habitat.
The plan adopted by the Garfield commissioners on Monday identifies only 7 percent of that area, about 15,500 acres, as suitable habitat.
That determination was made by a trio of wildlife scientists and mapping specialists hired by the county to develop the localized plan.
The team includes noted wildlife biologist Rob Ramey of Nederland-based Wildlife Science International, who has refuted scientific data in other government studies related to endangered and threatened species.
Also working on the project were Eric Petterson of Rocky Mountain Ecological Services, and habitat mapping specialist Zach Perdue of Pendo Solutions.
The county has asked that the BLM consider local conservation plans in adopting its protection plan for the greater sage-grouse.
However, BLM District Manager Jim Cagney has stated that the agency cannot easily consider existing conservation plans, especially if the recommended protections are voluntary.
The county's plan seeks to address that concern by making its protections mandatory on any public lands identified as suitable habitat. Those protections would be voluntary or incentive-based on private lands.
Included in the county's plan would be a 0.6-mile buffer zone around identified leks, which are areas where sage-grouse mate and nest. The county proposal is different from the BLM proposal for a 4-mile buffer zone.

How do I make Zimbra Desktop my default windows email program?
How do I make Zimbra Desktop my default windows email program?
Go to Options' Global tab and check the box that says "Use Zimbra Desktop as default mail application".
Awsome... I feel stupid now... I guess I just missed that there. Thanks a bunch!
It does not work though... I checked the box and even restarted Zimbra Desktop. Went to a website and clicked on an email link and nothing happened. Then went into firefox setting and set it up as the default mail program there and still nothing happens?? Any Ideas?
OK this is weird.. What it is actually doing now is opening the web page of our zimbra and doing mailto functions that way... How do I make the desktop handle the mailto's??
What firefox settings?
Hello, I am trying to set zimbra as the email client in ie, but it does not show up on the drop down list. It is set as my default email under the global option in zimbra. If I click an email link in ie, it tries to open outlook.
it's fixed in this bug Bug 34342 – Use Zimbra Desktop as default mail application does not work please try again in the coming release
ctrl + click, can't be much easier, thanks for the quick reply!
When I go to "preferences-global-system defaults" the box is not active. Is there some problem that I should know about? I am using Vista, and have Outlook software which was my original default. If I try to change the default at the control panel level, I am also not allowed the option of choosing Zimbra.

Austrian Wins Ease Sting of Drug Suspicions
The strong Austrian alpine ski team put on a dominating performance today in the mountains at the Winter Olympics. In the men's giant slalom, World Cup leader Benjamin Raich won a gold medal and teammate Hermann "Hermannator" Maier took bronze. Bode Miller was shut out of the medals in his fourth straight event.
Austria's Michaela Dorfmeister won her second gold medal of the games, capturing the women's Super G. The victories help take the sting out of a weekend drug raid involving Austria's biathletes and cross-country skiers. Results of analysis on the seized materials, which included syringes, have not yet been announced.

Poverty: ERS Analysis and Research /
USDA Food Assistance Programs
Stay Connected
USDA administers 15 food and nutrition assistance programs, which account for over 70 percent of USDA's budget and reach one in four Americans at some point during the year. While the National School Lunch Program dates back to the 1940s, the other major USDA food assistance programs—including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the School Breakfast Program, and the Child and Adult Food Care Program—are legacies of the War on Poverty. SNAP, the largest food assistance program, is available to most needy families with limited income and assets, while the other programs are targeted toward specific segments of the low-income population. The programs grew rapidly in the years following President Johnson's 1964 call to action. Data from USDA's Food and Nutrition Service show that food assistance expenditures increased steeply during the 2007-2009 recession and continued to rise rapidly until 2011. Today, these programs remain on the front line of America's anti-poverty efforts.
ERS research examines the extent to which USDA's food assistance programs reduce food insecurity and the effects of poverty by responding to changing economic conditions. A 2012 ERS study found that adding the value of SNAP benefits to family income effectively raises many families above the official poverty threshold and, to a greater extent, reduces the depth and severity of poverty. SNAP benefits had a particularly strong effect on children in poverty, protecting them from large increases in the depth and severity of poverty during the 2007-09 recession.
ERS research shows that poor households are more likely to be food insecure, having difficulty at some time during the year in providing enough food for active, healthy living due to a lack of money and other resources. Two recent ERS studies examine the temporary increase in SNAP benefit levels in the 2009 stimulus legislation, and the findings suggest that changes in SNAP benefit levels have a significant effect on the food security of low-income households. A program's effect on poverty and food insecurity is closely related to its responsiveness to economic conditions. SNAP has long been known as a countercyclical program, with SNAP participation increasing when unemployment and poverty increase. ERS researchers recently found that the other major food assistance programs also respond, to some degree, to economic fluctuations, with their use by needy families increasing during economic downturns.
The ERS Food Access Research Atlas presents a spatial overview of food access indicators for low-income and other census tracts using different measures of supermarket accessibility. It offers census-tract-level data on food access that can be downloaded for community planning or research purposes.
The ERS Food Environment Atlas assembles statistics on food environment indicators to stimulate research on the determinants of food choices and diet quality, and to provide a spatial overview of a community's ability to access healthy food and its success in doing so.

A longtime Ames resident has left about $1.6 million in her will for the citys Parks and Recreation Department.
The late Geitel Winakor was a retired Iowa State professor. She died on Aug. 15, at the age of 81.
City Manager Steve Schainker said in a news release that the City Council, with advice from the Parks and Recreation Commission, will determine the best way to use the money.
Parks Director Nancy Carroll says Winakors philanthropic spirit has left an indelible mark on our park system.

Crazy. She lived across the street from the house I grew up in. Haven't seen her in 20 years - great to hear that she made such a generous gift.
This is great and obviously says something of her character...but it's hard to see the kind of money these professors end up with when your 34 and still paying off student loans. I would imagine 1.6 is only a part and you hear of professors doing this all the time..leaving millions.

Cannes Pix Among Films Headlining 2003 Melbourne Fest
by Eugene Hernandez
The 52nd Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) kicked off in Australia yesterday with a screening of Sue Brooks' "Japanese Story." The Cannes debut, starring Toni Collette, was produced by local Sue Maslin. It was acquired by Samuel Golwdyn for release in the U.S. Also on opening night, the festival showcased Melbourne filmmaker Adam Elliot's claymation short, "Harvie Krumpet." Australian Gregor Jordan's "Buffalo Soldiers," opening in the United States this weekend, will close the festival on August 10. Glendyn Ivin's "Cracker Bag," which won the Palme d'Or for best short this year, will also screen on closing night.
Among the curated programs of spotlight films playing in Melbourne this year are "Brain Monkey Sushi: Raw Japanese Cinema," looking at "new films capturing the essence of genre-busting, relentlessly creative new Japanese cinema," while the "Frìssons: Uncompromising French Film" program "journeys into the far reaches of the chaos of sexuality, fantasy, neo-libertines and other hidden fringes in contemporary French film." Other programs offer work from women in Asia and the Middle East, a program of Bollywood titles, and new Russian cinema.
Twenty films from the Festival de Cannes will screen at this year's Melbourne festival. Among those screening will be Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Uzak" (Distant) from Turkey, Francois Ozon's "Swimming Pool," "The Time of the Wolf" from Michael Haneke, Roger Michell's "The Mother," and Richard Schickel's "Charlie: the Life and Art of Charles Chaplin." From the Cannes Un Certain Regard section, the Melbourne fest will show Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's "American Splendor" and Jafar Panahi's "Crimson Gold."
"I am thrilled that we are able to present a range of distinctive films direct from Cannes to round out what is, in my estimation, an exceptional 2003 MIFF program," said festival executive director James Hewison. "Cannes is always an exhilarating experience, and to be able to secure these films so quickly is a sign of faith on the part of those filmmakers in the Melbourne International Film Festival."
A special panel discussion has been added for this Sunday, looking at the recent troubles faced by Larry Clark's "Ken Park" at the Sydney Film Festival. Critics David Stratton and Julie Rigg as well as festival director Hewison will talk about the impact of the film being banned. "How much does this case inform the present state of censorship in Australia where the only screenings of this film have been clandestine and illegal? What does the future hold?" asks the panel description.

As a rule, if you're looking for tech support, go straight to the source.
Q: My email account was down for a couple weeks, probably because I messed up the password. I tried several times to unblock the account, to no avail. So I Googled "Hotmail tech support" and several phone numbers came up.
I called one and an Indian-sounding guy took control of my PC. He determined it was infected and that something like 80,000 inappropriate hits had been made. The main culprit he claimed was a file called "csrss.exe" and that my IP address had been hacked. He went into quite a bit of detail explaining the IP address and what it did. Then he said that for $99.99 I could protect all of my computers for their lifetime.
At this point a red flag went up and I asked if he was affiliated with Microsoft. He said he was Microsoft-certified. I told him I was surprised that I was being asked to pay for additional protection, that I would think about it and call him back.
Next I called CenturyLink tech support and they explained the IP address is changed every time I unplug my modem. We did that and installed Norton at no cost off the CenturyLink site. I've run this and the only things that came up as problems were a bunch of cookies.

I still don't know if my PC was really infected or not. What do you think?
— Steve Franz
A: I can't say for sure that you were being scammed. But there are definitely a lot of scams out there, and many of them work pretty much the way you describe. You were, in short, right to be concerned.
As a rule, if you're looking for tech support go straight to the source. If the problem is with Hotmail, go to Microsoft. And even more importantly, don't let any remote site take control of your computer unless you trust them.
Csrss.exe, by the way, is the name of a legitimate Windows file. But that doesn't mean it hasn't been infected.
Q: I run XP on a 4-year-old Lenovo laptop and I use Comcast Xfinity for email. My email also shows up in Outlook, and when a large volume builds up in Outlook, it slows down my computer. But when I delete old email from Outlook it also disappears from Xfinity. Can you help?
— Jim White,
Lake Forest Park
A: No problem. In Outlook, go to the File menu and select Info. Next click on Account Settings. When your account entry pops up, double-click on it and then click on the More Settings button. In the dialogue box that appears, click on the Advanced tab. Finally, check the box that says "Leave a copy of messages on server."
Q: ZuniDigital's ZuniConnect Travel Router, mentioned in an earlier column, looked like just what I needed and the price (can be purchased for around $35) fit my needs. I was going to order one, then the "Note" in your June 30th column raised some concerns. The Zuni can encrypt data and has dual firewalls, so if used in that mode am I "safe" on an unsecured access point using passwords, sending personal information and checking email?
— Gordon
A: Safety is always a relative thing. The firewalls will certainly help protect your computer from hackers. And yes, the ZuniConnect has encryption. But it can only use that encryption if it is supported by the Wi-Fi network you're connecting to the Internet through. So if the hot spot isn't encrypted your transmitted data can be captured.
The only way to avoid that is through use of a VPN, or virtual private network. To set up a VPN, your computer and the website to which you want to connect have to both have the VPN software and you configure a connection on both ends. Once that connection is established, encrypted data can sent from either side and it isn't decrypted until it is received on the other end.

Mortgage Banks Rush to Go on the Block
Saft, James H., American Banker
"Everything is for sale," exulted one investment banker. "Every single mortgage banker in America has to be thinking about selling into this market."
This may be an overstatement, but only a slight one. It certainly has seemed in recent weeks that just about every mortgage company not already owned by a bank is looking for a new parent.
Last week alone, American Residential Mortgage and Knutson Mortgage announced that they are on the block, and rumors were rife about North American Mortgage and Source One Mortgage.
Besides the debilitated originations market and frustration with the way mortgage companies are valued by the stock market, mortgage banks are trying to sell because they believe that banks are willing to step up and fork over hefty premiums.
Prices Seem Strong
A look at the deals consummated so far this year shows clearly that banks have been enthusiastic buyers. And, according to insiders, the prices paid have been fat.
"With the prices that are out there, we have to take a look at selling," said one top official at a mortgage company.
But with so many mortgage assets being offered, all sides are beginning to wonder if all the supply will dampen prices. …

Arrive at Baltra Island and enjoy a welcome briefing from your guides before continuing to Whaler's Bay.
Explore a stretch of white sandy beach set against a shallow turquoise bay, bounded by black volcanic rocks. This was once a staging area for the tall ships that visited the west coast of Santa Cruz Island in search of whales. One can still find pottery shards from those who passed this way and inhabited the former tiny outpost. This is one of archipelago's few archeological sites. Enjoy a late afternoon snorkel and/or a panga ride keeping an eye out for blue-footed and masked boobies.
Explore Punta Vicente Roca, located at the 'mouth' of the sea horse, whose shape this island resembles. Here, the remnants of an ancient volcano form two turquoise coves with a bay well protected from the ocean swells. Take a panga ride along the cliffs or explore a partially sunken cave at the water's edge. Keep an eye out for masked and blue-footed boobies and flightless cormorants.
In the afternoon, visit Fernandina Island, the youngest and westernmost island in the Galapagos. Punta Espinosa is a narrow stretch of land where some of the most unique Galapagos species can be seen. Keep an eye out for penguins, Sally-lightfoot crabs, herons and sandpipers. You may even spot marine iguanas feeding underwater!
Return to Isabela Island this morning to swim, snorkel or explore by foot at Urbina Bay. In 1954, over 3 miles of marine reef at the edge of the shore was uplifted by 13 feet. Walk amongst the dried coral heads, mollusks and other organisms that formed the ocean floor. Keep an eye out for the vivid markings of giant land iguanas.
On the way to Tagus Cove, sail through the cold waters of the Bolivar Channel where dolphins and whales are frequently seen as they come to feed on rich nutrient content. Enjoy the cove's quiet waters ideal for a panga ride where blue-footed boobies and pelicans make their nests up in the cliffs, and flightless cormorants and penguins inhabit the lava ledges.
Bartolome is famous for Pinnacle Rock, which is the most representative landmark of the Galapagos. Look for Galapagos penguins which are usually found at the base of the rock. Climb up the wooden stairs to the highest point and observe the landscape which resembles the moon. Back at the beach, snorkel or swim as you keep an eye out for sea lions and sea turtles.
Sullivan Bay's lava formations are known as pahoehoe (Hawaiian for Rope). Rare to the rest of the world, but common to the volcanoes of Hawaii and the Galapagos Islands. Few plants manage to take root in this harsh environment. Observe the Lava Cactus (Brachycereus) found here which is some of the first plant life able to establish itself and survive. Take a trail and watch for black and white Oystercatchers fishing for crabs and mollusks in the tide pools. After exploring the hardened lava flow, swim and snorkel at a beautiful beach where perhaps you will be joined by playful sea lions.
Visit Las Bachas where the sand is soft and white, and a favorite site for nesting sea turtles. Spot Sally-lightfoot crabs in abundance on the lava rocks along the water's edge. Hike to see flamingos, hermit crabs, black necked stilts, and whimbrels.
Explore Dragon Hill named for the large number of land iguanas that frequent the area. Dragon Hill has become an important nesting site for iguanas reintroduced there by the Charles Darwin Research Center. Take a short walk from the beach to a salt-rich lagoon that is frequented by pink flamingos, common stilts, pintail ducks and other species of birds. Pass through an endemic Scalesia forest as you hike up Dragon Hill for impressive views of the bay.
The lush greenery of the Santa Cruz Highlands contrasts with the arid scenery of the smaller, lower islands. Weather permitting, take a short walk to The Twins, two pit craters which are lush with trees, moss and lichens. Watch and listen for Galapagos mockingbirds who may follow you along the trail.
Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the Galapagos, and the small town of Puerto Ayora is the economic center of the archipelago. Six different zones of vegetation can be seen here. Visit the Charles Darwin Research Station where scientists, park rangers and park managers are making huge efforts to preserve and protect the Galapagos Islands. The Station is also a tortoise breeding and rearing center, where tortoises of different subspecies are prepared for reintroduction to their natural habitats.
Punta Suarez is one of the most popular and attractive spots in the Galapagos. The quantity and variety of wildlife at this site is remarkable. Encounter young sea lions, iguanas, and further inland, masked and blue-foot boobies. Follow a trail toward the cliffs and the blowhole, a fissure in the lava where water sprays high in the air.
Espanola Island is the southernmost island of the archipelago and due to its isolation has a high proportion of endemic fauna. Explore Gardner Bay's long white sandy beach where colonies of sea lions laze in the sun, sea turtles swim offshore, and inquisitive mockingbirds boldly investigate new arrivals.
Visit the San Cristóbal Interpretation Center, which presents a comprehensive exhibit of the islands' natural history, human interaction, ecosystems, flora and fauna. Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the mainland.

10/08/2012, San Diego
We have left Santa Catalina and sailed to Oceanside for one night. The following day we went onto San Diego. The winds were unusable, too light and on our stern, so we motored for about eight hours. This created a lot of bobbing so, by the time we got tied up at our new moorage; the solid ground was pitching and rolling worse than I can recall experiencing after riding much worse seas for days without landfall.
We have seen lots of cool military vessels here including a couple of very large and fast ships throwing huge white waves and spray. Each appeared (from a distance through binoculars) to be powered by two very large fans. They quickly pulled up on us but before they got close enough for a good look, they turned and went to shore. As I watched through binoculars, they each appeared to create a storm of fog and water as they went through the surf, then a sand storm for a short distance up the beach and poof, gone, disappeared. Wow! The "Big Kids" sure have some cool toys in this nation.
We are docked at Cabrillo Isle Marina with Wi-Fi and cable TV at our boat, use of the Sheraton swimming pool and whirlpool, superb restrooms, showers and laundry facility, and surrounded by major restaurants. We are within boating and walking distance of anything a cruiser could possibly need or want. This is the perfect resting and provisioning place for us to begin the Baja Ha Ha October 29th. I have already, quickly and easily found replacement items that I had searched for all over Portland without success.
10/03/2012, Santa Catalina Island
We are leaving Catalina Island tomorrow after six days here on the hook. I think we are beginning to become a little bored with it because we now have developed some complaints about the island that was perfect and beautiful when we arrived. Even though as I sit in the cockpit watching the sun drop upon the jagged and treacherous hillsides; long dark shadows are beginning to stretch up through the canyons and ravines with thousands of cactus, sparkling in the steeply angled sunlight like pretty green, translucent sugar sprinkles attempting to bring some beauty to the perilous rock they have sprung from, I feel a little sadness to be moving on. Once again, I begin missing the ones I love at home and wish they we here to share the experience.
But I must console myself with what is yet to come! The beauty and experiences seem to get better and better the farther we go. So eventually loved ones, I am confident that you will be hooking up with us in some fabulous and irresistible places to share in Desert Vision's vision.
10/01/2012, Santa Catalina Island
We have left San Pedro after two days. It was a great stop because Iris has many friends there. So Iris was whisked away from the boat for errands and a sleep-over and I had Desert Vision all to myself one night and was able to get quite a lot of boat maintenance accomplished. The second night we had guests aboard for a fun evening of partying before our cruise to Catalina Island the following morning. It was really great to see so many friends all together that I hadn't seen for a very long time.
We have since migrated to Catalina Harbor on the little island of Catalina. The water has continued to get warmer and clearer and the weather is getting warmer as well. We are anchored on the Pacific side, at an isthmus toward the middle of the island so it is only a dingy ride and a short hike to Two Harbors on the opposite side of the island.
Two days ago River, Greg and John (who flew down from Portland that morning) pulled into the harbor. Thus began the partying on that evening! Yesterday involved swimming around Desert Vision, hiking, and later on, drinks with Greg at the little bar in town. On our way back to Desert Vision we rescued River and John whose dingy engine had failed during their attempt to meet up with us. This was followed by drinks and dinner on River and Greg's 52 foot Tyanna.
We like it here where we have reasonable protection from winds and swell so, barring any sign of the soon to be expected Santa Ana Winds, we will probably stay here about a week before continuing south.
09/25/2012, Marina del Rey
Channel Islands Harbor was great! We spent some time with Carolyn Boone and met her very cool sister Billy. We got to spend some time with John and Suzann Duffy and two of their young, Erin and Colin. So we rested, had some great meals and headed south to Marina del Rey.
Along this trip we noticed the water getting clearer and bluer. We must have sailed right through Dolphin Central as well because we ran along with fifty to sixty Dolphin all traveling with us for a couple of hours. It was unbelievable and entertaining to watch them chasing, charging and high speeds, playing with the boat which is of no competition to them at all.
We have enjoyed our stay at Marina del Rey California Yacht Club, thanks to John and Suzann. We had a lovely dinner and sundowners with Iris's college friend Carolyn Gilmore and her husband Michael. Now we are rested and ready to continue south tomorrow. We plan to go to San Pedro for two nights and then out to Catalina Island.
We are sharing dock space with the owners.
09/22/2012, Channel Islands Harbor
Catch up again.
OK, sorry again but I've been too exhausted to write. We spent that one night at Santa Cruz Island on our anchor on the roughest shore yet. It was beautiful when we went to bed and then the wind shifted and the sea-swell and wind came right in upon us with no protection. The winds kept us broadside to the swell and the rocking was extremely violent! We got very little sleep and left as soon as we could in the morning. We sailed up the other side of the island but weren't too impressed with the anchorages after the previous night so, having been so impressed with Santa Barbra, we sailed back. With eleven to twelve knots right on the beam, we zipped along smoothly at a steady seven knots for the whole thirty mile trip.
We anchored off the beach and were delighted to be back in the beautiful town that we had become so enamored with. But after sunset the wind shifted and we spent another sleepless night laying abeam to the swell. At first light I began building an anti-rocking devise composed of a five gallon bucket with a hinged bottom, and a five pound dingy anchor under it. Then we swung the boom out to port and dangled the devise into the water from off the end of the boom. It worked! But later in the evening when the winds shifted and the larger chop and swell landed on or beam, the devise proved too small to end the violence. So another sleepless night on the hook we spent rocking violently. At first light we pulled up our anchor, raised the sails and set a course for Channel Islands Harbor, Oxnard.
This is our new favorite harbor. When we pulled into our slip we immediately launched the dingy to see the sights. Among the beauty and many delights we found a pizza restaurant with a dingy dock. So we landed and I had about four beers and the best pizza that I've ever had in all my life!!! We will have enjoyed a few days of recuperation here at the dock before we continue south.
09/17/2012, Santa Barbra
Friends and family,
I must once again apologize for this delay but I have included more pictures in the photo album to the right of this. The morning after we left Point Conception the winds and sea were calm. We put out the sails and started the motor and soon we were making our way toward Santa Barbra with a four Dolphin escort. They began playing alongside us until they were sure they had our attention. Then they moved up just under the bow, racing back and forth at amazing speeds, and coming just as close to the bow as they could without getting hit buy us. Iris and I moved up to stand on the fore deck so we could watch them under the bow.
After awhile the four of them settled in continuously under the bow sprit with their powerful tail fins inches from the hull, revolving over, under and around each other for about 25 minutes as if to tell us, "you folks are going the right way, doing the right thing and we will guide and bless your course." It was truly a beautiful and kind of spiritual experience to be blessed by those magnificent creatures..
When we made Santa Barbra, we secured an amazing moorage! The harbor of 1,100 boats is thus far the cleanest, prettiest, most organized, safest, and most secure moorage that Desert Vision has ever been in! We were in a single slip right on the end by the channel so that we saw everyone going in or out of the harbor pass by us. The wide, pristine, concrete docks protected us so that Desert Vision may as well have been sitting on dry land for we never felt her move.
That night we had a lovely dinner with Jay and Chelsea Duffy who have the privilege of living in this wonderful town. The following day Iris and I explored this impressive home town of the rich and famous on foot until Jay and Chelsea picked us up and taxied us around to various stores for food supplies, propane and a new bow roller for the primary anchor on Desert Vision.
Our third day in this splendid town we were visited by some of Iris's long time friends and their families who drove out from 45 minutes inland to party on Desert Vision with us. This was a great time and it was good to see people that I haven't seen (some, for many years).
Now you are caught up to real time. We have departed the memorable Santa Barbra and set out to explore the Channel Islands. We have anchored in a small cove off Santa Cruz called Smuggler's Cove. It is very beautiful here but I do think it is probably too rough a coast for Iris and I to get the rubber boat ashore without getting flipped. Maybe we'll think about it tomorrow. There are a few other boats anchored here with us, I would really like to see someone else do it first.

Good thing that Milledge's injury is only a contusion. You always have to worry when a player is hit on the hand by a ball travelling at 80-90 MPH while he's at bat. Even though he's young, it still would have been a major setback for a kid who's played well this spring and is really set out to show he's for real.
John…last year you were pretty critical of Milledge and his antics/behavior in the clubhouse and his attitude towards the game and the team. Now, as we near the end of ST, would you say he's matured a great deal?
John Delcos
To RmkMets (RE: Milledge)
You are right about hand injuries. There are so many small bones in the hand and the smallest of hairline fractures can cause a lot of pain and be hard to locate on an X-Ray.
Yes, I was critical of Milledge last year. I would say he has matured a great deal. I am working on such a story for our preview section. He has been a delight to speak with all spring.
Today, we talked a little about the Rocky movie playing on the TV. He's been great. What really matters is how his teammates feel about him and everybody is in his corner.
Mets Fan
I am predicting a huge breakout year for Oliver Perez. He reminds me of Randy Johnson in his glory days.
im sure the mets will turn this day to day injury into a reason why milledge cant start, and we will all have to watch Shawn Green hit 100 for the regular season, lose games for us defensivley and make the mets look like old garbage
I think Green has until April 15th to prove himself. I know that's a pretty short time, but at that point if he's not getting it done, and you're planning on making a roster move bringing up Pelfrey, something's gotta give. Either work out a platoon with Millegde, or you let the kid start and have Green off the bench or possibly traded.
John, now that Pelfrey has been told he's made the team as the 5th starter, am I correct to assume that John Maine and Oliver Perez have also been told that they are the 3rd and 4th starters? I have not read this anywhere.
I think Milledge has matured and should be with the team as they head north—until the 15th. Green is a veteran player and needs the time to prove that his experience is worth something. I think once things start for real, next Sunday night, you'll see Green with his 'new' swing doing a better job of getting hits. After all, Spring Training is the time to work on things that the season doesn't give you the luxury of doing.
I'm also glad that Pelfrey is part of the starting rotation. He is a good addition.
John Delcos
To Sean (RE: Maine/Perez)
In announcing Pelfrey, Willie announced his entire rotation today. Just not what order they will work in.
Are Park and Sele garunteed spots in the bullpen? If so I like the move, but how do the Mets then fit Sanchez and Mota in when they return? It seem's like Joe Smith's bus ticket to AAA is already printed in some respects unless the Mets feel comfortable enough to deal an arm out of their pen. I hope he gets a fair chance to stick, he's certainly earned it.
I just wanted to say that I had my Fantasy Draft today and am ecstatic to say that my first three picks were SS J. Reyes, OF C. Beltran, and 3B D. Wright. Im not a big fantasy guy but it felt like a conflict of interest when I have to root for a player on another NL East team. I am going to sleep good tonight.
Since the Mets have two days off during their first trip through the rotation, do you think they'll skip El Duque's first start to keep everyone on five days rest, or will they pitch him and give everyone six days between starts the first time through? He is a little behind in Camp due to the late start, I'm sure Glavine would prefer to go on five days, and why mess with a good thing since Perez has been throwing so well? They could give Duque a simulated start April 2 and then slot him between Glavine and Maine in the second game of the series in Atlanta.
Delcos, I was at the game on Saturday and, based solely on your recommendation, I went with the pulled pork sandwich. Wasn't bad at all. Not as good as Chan Ho was, but not bad.
What's the deal with the Sanchez MRI? Still no word I don't think that's a good sign. Looks like we'll be seeing Mr.Sanchez mid to late summer.
Annie Savoy
To – Cox Cable, SNY, The New York Mets:
Major League Baseball begins next week and your business decision not to provide SNY to thousands of Connecticut families again this season is a disgrace. These families have children who will be unable to see the Mets on television for the second season in a row. These children could have been your future customers.
Finding ways to bring services to your customers should be your goal, not just finding ways to get them to pay you more dollars. By your adhering to your rigid corporate 'rights' you are depriving Connecticut residents of family pleasure and losing a whole generation of fans.
Perhaps you can live with these decisions as you increase the costs to your customers while you decrease coverage and your corporate profits soar. We can only hope that the days of your cable monopolies are numbered and competition will bring common sense. MLB needs to realize this, and the Senate will be addressing this issue in hearings that start tomorrow.
Or, perhaps you will realize that good customer service is important now.
Why not do the right thing this year?
Wow I didn't realize that some Mets fans are still unable to get SNY. Hasn't the channel being on air for almost a year, I can't believe SNY can't come to an agreement with Cox Cable. It's strange that they've come to an agreement with all the other major Cable companies like Cablevision and Time Warner, but still nothing with Cox. There's got to be a bigger issue that's holding up a pontential deal, it is weird that this hasn't gotten more press.

Claim to fame: Green Thumb has been a garden fixture in Lake Forest since 1965. But the company didn't start there. In 1946 Dale Bergquist set out on his own in Canoga Park by purchasing a small, dilapidated nursery. The sale included a shovel, one wheelbarrow, plants and an old seed shed. He called the new nursery Green Thumb. Back then, bedding plants were sold one at a time and were boxed up for customers in shoe boxes. Dale and his partner, Errol Newton, built a mailing list by driving around Canoga Park neighborhoods and jotting down addresses. New homes were being built in the region, more and more people were moving to Southern California in the 1950s, demand exceeded supply, and the business grew to five stores. But it didn't always grow in a gardening direction. "I remember having toys at Christmas, and at one point we had a full-on pet shop," Bud Berquist said. Today Green Thumb covers all the plant bases from houseplants to trees to ornamentals to aquatic plants. And there are animals still, with hummingbirds nesting in the plant material and frogs taking up residence in the ponds.
Did you know: Ninety-nine-year-old staff member Jerry Bender is a 3-star certified nursery professional.

A timely new British film about the horrors of the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is poised to be the buzz film of the Berlinale this year. "The Road to Guantanamo" screened for press this afternoon at the Berlin International Film Festival and will have its official world premiere tonight at the Berlinale Palast in Potsdamer Platz. The provocative new film is debuting at the festival on the same day that a draft report from the United Nations made news around the world, accusing the U.S. of torture at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and calling for either trials or the release of detainees there.
Get the latest news, buzz and iPOP photos from the Berlinale in indieWIRE's special Berlin International Film Festival section.
Arriving for a press conference at the Grand Hyatt in Berlin to significant applause and multiple cheers of "bravo" and "great film," directors Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross sat alongside Shafiq Rasul and Ruhel Ahmed, the subjects of their devastating new film, "The Road To Guantanamo." The story of the now famous "Tripton Three," Winterbottom and Whitecross' new movie blends news images, documentary footage, and dramatic re-creations of the lad's experiences as detainees for more than two years in the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo.
Traveling to Pakistan for a wedding shortly after 9/11, the three young British men -- Ruhel Ahmed, Asif Iqbal, and Shafiq Rasul -- eventually made their way to Afghanistan to try to aid bombing victims there. But, through an unfortunate sequence of events, they were eventually mistaken as members of the Taliban, rounded up, and then tortured and held for more than two years, despite a lack of proof of their terrorist ties. They were eventually released but have yet to gain an official acknowledgement of their innocence.
Calling Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba an "illegal prison" during a press conference today, British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom has created a powerful, heartbreaking film that, by telling the story of three people, seeks to expose a situation in the hopes of instigating change.
"We are trying to show what happened to them from their point of view," explained Winterbottom at Tuesday's press conference in Berlin. By blending fiction with doc footage, Winterbottom said that he hoped to find the best way to depict what these three men endured. "In the end we are just trying to tell the story as it is. To tell the story of these three people, not to tell the general story."
The film, funded by Channel Four in the U.K., will air on the TV network in Britain next month. Winterbottom added that he hopes for a theatrical and DVD release after the TV airdate. International buyers in Berlin are seeing the film for the first time this week; Winterbottom and producing partner Andrew Eaton's Revolution Films are intending to sell the movie worldwide. The director won the Golden Bear at the Berlin festival three years ago for his film "In This World," about Afghan refugees.
"These are bad people," U.S. president George W. Bush is seen saying as "The Road to Guantanamo" opens. He, and later U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is pictured in news footage defending the existence of the base and it's detaining of prisoners, hundreds of which have already been released with no charges. U.S. leaders, and in particular U.S. military soldiers working the base in Guantanamo are depicted as brutal captors, leading one journalist at the press conference to question such a negative portrayal of Americans.
Asked, in his first question from the media in Berlin, how the U.S. government may react to his new film, Winterbottom said directly, "I don't know and I don't really care to be honest."
"We are telling one story," reiterated Winterbottom later, "These are three British people who ended up in Guantanamo, the fact that the Americans were behaving badly is not some dramatic device. I don't think we are painting a particularly bad version of the Americans. We are simply trying to show what happened."
"I don't think the film is anti-American in any sense," Winterbottom added later. "I am sure there are as many people in America who are as opposed to Guantanamo as in Britain. What we are saying is that what is happening in Guantanamo -- and the fact that Guantanamo exists -- is shocking. Imaging what it would be like if you were caught up in that system (with) no charges."
Asked how they endured extended torture and imprisonment for more than two years, Shafiq Rasul explained, "If it weren't for our religion, I don't think we'd have been able to get through it -- Islam tells us to be patient, that's what we did, we were patient. We knew that one day we'd be out of there and we just had to be patient."
"It was very emotional being there, seeing the other detainees, the things that they are going through," explained Shafiq Rasul at today's press conference in Berlin. "We had it rough, but we didn't have it as bad as others, for example Arabs -- we could communicate." Continuing he explained, "People who couldn't speak English were having a very hard time. If you were Arab, you were (considered) a member of Al Qaeda no matter what."
Admitting that they had never heard of fellow Brit, Winterbottom, Ruhel Ahmed said that he and his mates tended to favor Hollywood films before agreeing to work with the directors to tell their story. Laughing, Winterbottom quipped, "We couldn't get anyone from Hollywood to make it."
Finally, the two were asked how they personally grapple with the reality of their ordeal, and how they recover. "You have to start living your life," Shafiq Rasul explained, "You have to not forget about I, but put it in the back of your head. We are never going to forget about it. My main thing -- at this point -- is that the people there, we know they didn't do anything. There are British residents." Concluding, he added, "Hopefully, this film will help show the world what's going on in Guantanamo."
"Its hard to trust the system any more," offered Ruhel Ahmed, "America says they are a democratic country, but what they have done to us...its hard to believe." Concluding, he added, "Its hard to trust democracy at all."
