Eurostar frustrated by 'illegal' e-Borders scheme
Still waiting for government response
Government legal officials are still investigating whether aspects of the £1.2bn e-Borders scheme are illegal, a year after concerns were raised by Eurostar.
Lawyers for the cross-channel train operator believe the system will require it to break European data privacy laws. They have been pressing the UK Border Agency to clarify the situation since November last year.
At their most recent meeting in September, officials told Eurostar they were still mulling the problem.
"There's been no progress at all," said a spokesman for the firm. "They said they were still looking into it."
The ultimate goal of e-Borders is to centrally log every single traveller in and out of the UK, which will mean obtaining personal details before they travel.
The UK Border Agency wants carriers to collect the data abroad on its behalf. Eurostar believes this will mean driving an express train through French and Belgian data legislation, both of which implement the EU data laws.
"We believe, and the legal advice we have had is that it is not legal to export the sort of data required by e-Borders within the EU, and it is only legal to export that data outside of the EU," the firm's customer service director told the Home Affairs Select Committee back in June.
Even then, Eurostar expressed frustration at the government's lack of response to the possibility it will be "caught in a position that we are abiding by UK law but breaking EU law".
"I would feel very uncomfortable if I had waited seven months to respond to a letter from the UK Borders Agency on an e-Borders matter," Noaro said.
Eurostar also has more immediate commercial worries about e-Borders over the costs and potential for check-in delays.
Today the Home Office rejected Eurostar's concerns, apparently contradicting what the firm said it was told in September.
"We are confident that e-Borders is compatible with the European Data Protection Directive," said Brodie Clark, head of UK Border Force.
Air carriers already feed the system's Manchester operation centre with the details of millions of passengers before they fly.
Clark said: "We have already proven e-Borders is a success, with it running effectively on many routes for four years. We have been working with Eurostar and the carriers industry for the past two years, and have performed successful trials scanning 96 per cent of documents in seconds.
"We continue to work with carriers to avoid delays to passengers."
He added that e-Borders has led to more than 4,500 arrests for crimes "including murder, rape and assault and significant counter-terrorist interventions".
It's planned that e-Borders will log every single journey in and out of the UK by 2014. In June, ferry operators echoed Eurostar's concerns over the legality of its data gathering regime, and said they expect significant delays to the system as a result. ®

Australia's Largest Urban Fire and Rescue Service Implements SAP® Business Suite powered by SAP HANA® to Help Protect Citizen Lives and Property
SYDNEY, Australia — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Fire & Rescue New South Wales (NSW) has implemented SAP® Business Suite powered by SAP HANA®. For the first time, the organization supports a network-wide move toward real-time reporting and access to information across the entire emergency services network in New South Wales.
Better systems mean safer communities, and having the right skills and equipment available at the right time is critically important. The implementation of SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA paves the way for improved control during the fire season and is part of Fire & Rescue NSW's journey toward predicting fires and other natural disasters before they happen, as well as effectively managing resources and establishing accurate early-warning systems. With SAP, the agency has deep and accurate information that is readily accessible, enabling it to make critical decisions quickly. It can monitor and manage its entire network more effectively and help ensure the state is as safe as possible for years to come.
"The SAP software implementation will help us save lives," said Richard Host, CIO, Fire & Rescue NSW. "It knows everything about our assets and our people, including their training history, with up to 30 years of data. We will also see more efficient collaboration across the three major state emergency service agencies — NSW Fire & Rescue, NSW State Emergency Service and NSW Rural Fire Service. The agencies now use a single instance of SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA as their source of information."
SAP and Fire & Rescue NSW have enjoyed a longstanding relationship and together have transformed the agency's business processes and systems. SAP Business Suite, which now runs on the in-memory platform SAP HANA, offers a complete solution for Fire & Rescue NSW and enables the broader emergency services network in NSW to collaborate more effectively. Delivering improvements to internal processes, using SAP also allows each agency to manage its business operations more effectively.
With SAP HANA, Fire & Rescue NSW is looking to the future with an enterprise asset management program to help the Emergency Services Agencies better manage their vast firefighting and rescue asset base. The platform is envisioned to also support the agency's "Project Minder," a system designed to head off disasters across the state by analyzing real-time data and enabling predictions up to almost a week in advance, as well as to recommend resource deployment in a timely and accurate manner.
"Fire & Rescue NSW have delivered an exceptional implementation," said Andrew Barkla, president and managing director, SAP Australia & New Zealand. "We have laid the foundations for continuous innovation that will improve not only the state's emergency response, but emergency prevention. This maps directly to SAP's mission of helping the world run better and improving people's lives."
The implementation at Fire & Rescue NSW is a showcase of the SAP® Urban Matters program, an initiative to help urban businesses, governments and people create best-run cities. SAP Urban Matters supports the fundamentals of good government, empowers public officials to be more productive, increases community engagement and openness, drives innovation around government service delivery and improves urban resilience to help ensure public safety and security.

|In India, brochures about the correct use of condoms are distributed to students at a school in Mundavar village, Behror district.
© UNICEF India/2007/Sandeep Biswas
The report marks the launch of UNICEF UK's 'We want to live free from HIV' campaign, which aims to raise £2 million for HIV prevention and remind governments of the importance of effective HIV prevention amongst young people.
Statistics in today's report reveal that girls and young women remain far more vulnerable to HIV infection than young men, with two-thirds of the 5.5 million 15- and 24-year-olds with HIV worldwide being women. The majority of these young people still lack comprehensive and correct information about how to prevent HIV infection, or do not have the power to act on that knowledge.
In Southern Africa, home to 67% of all people with HIV, young women are two- to four-and-a-half times more likely to be infected than men of the same age. Girls are put at risk through having multiple sexual partners at the same time, having sex with older men, having sex in exchange for money or goods and being abused.
"HIV can be best avoided through a three-pronged approach -- by making sure people have the right information, can access health services, and get protection when they need it," Anita Tiessen added. "Up until now, these three approaches have too often been used in isolation and not enough attention has been given to knowing how HIV spreads and to taking a more effective combined approach."
UNICEF is working globally to provide the training and skills young people need to live free from HIV, with HIV prevention programmes addressing behavioural change and social issues, as well as providing essential health services to reduce the risk to children and young people.
'We want to live free from HIV' is part of UNICEF's global campaign 'Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS', launched globally in 2005 to place children at the centre of the response to HIV and AIDS.

March 9, 2012-- The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Waterfowl Section, in partnership with LSU's School of Renewable Natural Resources, has begun a survey of resident waterfowl hunters which asks for input on waterfowl hunting zones, zone boundaries, and season dates for future waterfowl hunting seasons.
"We are mailing surveys to 6,400 randomly selected waterfowl hunters -- 1,600 in each of four major regions of the state -- to gather information on their satisfaction with last year's hunting and with the zones and splits we have been using for many years, as well as preferences for proposed changes in those zone boundaries," said Larry Reynolds, LDWF Waterfowl Study Leader. "The survey also asks about hunters' preferred timing of the regular waterfowl season and the Youth waterfowl hunting days, along with questions about Catahoula Lake."
The same survey is also offered on LDWF's website at www.wlf.louisiana.gov [4] and all interested waterfowl hunters can provide input. "We know that results from Internet-based surveys can be biased because participants tend to be the more dedicated and active hunters," Reynolds said. "However, in our 2010 Waterfowl Hunter Survey, we received similar responses to most attitude and preference questions from both surveys."
The department is encouraging all waterfowl hunters, especially those who receive a survey in the mail, to participate in the survey and convey their preferences to better inform decisions on waterfowl harvest regulations.
States have the opportunity to change waterfowl hunting zones and splits every five years, which was scheduled for 2011. However, additional zones/splits options from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were approved very late in last year's regulatory cycle, and not all states could take advantage of them. For that reason, the opportunity to make changes was extended to this year, and selected zones/splits will be in effect for the 2012-2015 waterfowl hunting seasons.
Season dates can be changed every year; only zones/splits selections are set for five years. Specifically, the new options include four zones with straight seasons (no split) and three zones with split seasons. Until this year, states had to choose between three zones with straight seasons, two zones with split seasons, or a statewide season (no zones) with two splits (three season segments).
For 31 years, Louisiana has used two zones (East and West) with split seasons, but the department is considering a change to three zones with split seasons to potentially provide additional hunting opportunity and regulatory flexibility. Maps of the proposed new waterfowl hunting zones, explanation of the proposed boundary changes, and a short Power Point presentation with the considerations for selecting zones, splits, and season dates can be found at: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/migratory-and-waterfowl [5] .
In addition, a short presentation will be made and public comment collected on zones/splits and the Waterfowl Hunter survey at six public meetings scheduled around the state over the next two weeks. Those dates and sites are:
- March 13 at 6 p.m., Alexandria Convention Hall located at 915 Third St.
- March 13 at 6:30 p.m., LDWF Office in Minden located at 9961 Hwy. 80.
- March 14 at 6:30 p.m., Yambilee Festival Bldg., 1939 W. Landry, Opelousas
- March 15 at 6 p.m., Bastrop Visitor Center, 124 N. Washington St.
- March 15 at 6:30 p.m., LSU Ag Center, 7101 Gulf Hwy., Lake Charles.
- March 21 at 6 p.m., St. John Parish Council Chambers, 1801 W. Airline Hwy., Laplace

USD/CAD has been in bearish mode since Friday, which means that move from 1.0243 was actually made only in three waves, so this rally is now part of a larger complex correction, either a flat or a triangle. For now we will focus on a triangle but need to see an evidence of a low around 1.0300 zone and rally back to 1.0468 to confirm idea of a contracting triangle.
On the other hand, if the pair continues straight down in impulsive fashion toward 1.0250 then we will be looking for a flat correction in red wave B where the pair can reach levels beneath 1.0240 and even around 1.0200 before bulls come back in view.
In either case, both patterns are corrective and both suggest that USD/CAD just stopped in larger temporary pause and that sooner or later pair will turn bullish for 1.0650 maybe even 1.0700.
USD/CAD 4h Elliott Wave Analysis
What is a Triangle Pattern?
A Triangle is a common 5 wave pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E that moves counter-trend and is corrective in nature. Triangles move within two channel lines drawn from waves A to C, and from waves B to D. A Triangle is either contracting or expanding depending on whether the channel lines are converging or expanding. Triangles are overlapping five wave affairs that subdivide 3-3-3-3-3.
Contracting triangle
- Structure is 3-3-3-3-3
- Each subwave of a triangle is usually a zig-zag
- Wave E must end in the price territory of wave A
- One subwave of a triangle usually has a much more complex structure than others subwaves
- Appears in wave four in an impulse, wave B in an A-B-C, wave X or wave Y in a double threes, wave X or wave Z in a triple threes
What is a Flat Pattern?
A Flat is a three-wave pattern labeled A-B-C that generally moves sideways. It is corrective, counter-trend and is a very common Elliott pattern.
Regular flat
• structure is 3-3-5 • wave B terminates about at the level of the beginning of wave A • wave C terminates a slight bit past the end of wave A • appears in wave two or four in an impulse, wave B in an A-B-C, wave X in a double or triple zig-zag, or wave Y in a triple threes

PAWL (Copyright, 1960, JTA, Inc.) Israel celebrates the 12th an¬ niversary of the rebirth of the State on May 2 tills year. When New Israel was established on May 14, IBiS, the total popula¬ tion of the Uttle land was 660,- 000. Now there are 2,088,680 per¬ sons livlnlf in larael—including 229,844 non-Jews, The area to¬ day ISi of course, the same as in 1948—a mere 7,992.8 square miles. Juxtapose tWs narrow land against the area occupied by the neighljorlng Arab states, total¬ ing' 1,675,234 square miles. Bal- lance Israel's presciit popuid- tion of over 2,000,000 against the surrounding Arab population aggregating almost 50,000,000. ONE WONDERS how Israel lias not only survived but in¬ deed flourished. Both facts, hoTvevej", are true. It has, not only lived on. It has gained in every phase of economic prog¬ ress; social advance, poiiticai and diplomatic development Concerning ourselves here only with the social and eco¬ nomic growth of Israel—leaving politics and diplomacy in other hands*—one sees these bald facts: The population, as shown by the above figures, has more than tripled. INDUSTRXAl. production has grown to suoh heights that com¬ parisons with 1948 are literally impossible. Industrially, it is not at all the same country. E\)r instance: In 1948, industrial product in the Jewish yisbuv was negligi¬ ble. By 1958, in Israel's first 10 years. Industrial production had rdsem to a value of $962,000,000. The production of eleotriclty liad risen, between 1949 and 1959, from 316,000 Itiiowatt hours t)o 1,500,000 Itwh. Exports rose eight times—from a value of $29,680,000 to a value of $239,- 000,000. Imports almost doubled —from a value of $253,120,000 to $500,000,000, Shipping grew by 20 times—.from 14,000 gross tons in 1948 to 278,000 gross tons in 1959. In agriculture, it is the same story. Israel haa a total of 2,426,450 acres of culUvabie lands. Of this total, 1,100,000 acres are now under cultivation. Thafs double the area under cultivation tn 1948. Agricultural production has more than trip¬ led, from a value of $24,700,000 in 1948 to a value of $90,500,000 10 years later. There has been a 0ve-lold Increase in the area of lands under cultivation, and a five-fold Increase in forest acreage. TO JUDGE the effect of all this vast economic growth on the population of Israel, one must consider certain basic fac¬ tors. Israel's infant mortality rate—not only among the Jew¬ ish population but among the Arabs in Israel as well—is the lowest in the Middle East; the Infant mortality rate in the Jewish population is among the lowest In the entire world. Israel's medical set-up—^in the number of hospitals and clinics, number of doctors per 1000 populablon, etc.—is one of the brightest in the entire world, comparing favorably with many of the most advanced countries in the Western world, including even tlie United States. Israel lntr6duced compulsory education for ali children at the very rebirth of the State. Ele¬ mentary school attendance in Israel rose, In the State's Urst 11 years, from 108,000 to 500,000. Do the Arabs share progress in this field? They do. EliEMENTARY school at¬ tendance of Arab clliidren in Israel totalled only 6780 in 1948; that figure rose by 1949 to 40,100. The number of school teachers In Israel Increased In the first 11 years from 5964 to 21.700—a rise of four times. In the field of tilgher educa¬ tion, Israel is outstanding, rec¬ ognized by the world as a cen¬ ter of higher learning and scien¬ tific advanoe. The Hebrew Uni¬ versity, Technlon. Bar-Han Uni¬ versity, the Undversity of Tel Aviv and the Weizmann Insti¬ tute of Science do not talte sec¬ ond place to any similar insti¬ tutions in the entire world. During the past year, Israel estaiblisihed a new National Coundi for Scientific Research and Development, with the fa¬ mous Prof. Israel Dostrovsky as clialrman of this 21-man body. THE WEIZMANN Institute itself is a shining example of growth in Israel. That Institute celebrated ^.s 10th anmlrersary only last N^ember. Ita staff now consists, of 600 worlcers, in¬ cluding 200 world-famous scien¬ tists and 100 laljoratory techni¬ cians. Americans who icnow Abba Elian weU-—from his long serv¬ ice here as Israel Am.bassador and chairman of Israel's dele¬ gation to the United Nation*— laiow that he is now president of Wedzmanm Institute. This year, In August, one of the world's most important scien¬ tific congresses will l>e held at Rehovoth, under the auspices of the Weizmann Institute. One could go on listing facts, figures and statistics for many pages to Indicate growth in Is¬ rael. The data given here are illustrative, but far from Com¬ prehensive. However, the pic¬ ture is clear, at least in outline. AIX POUmOS aside, all diplomacy notwithstanding, Is¬ rael is there, is growing, Is de- developing.

WASHINGTON (JTA)—The United States State Departmemt moved against the first counter-blockade against Arab shipping with a statement that picketing of the Egyptian ship, the Cleopatra, by New York seaman was "embarrassing" the conduct of American foreign relations. The State Department comment was one of a series of actions and reactions involving United Nations Secretary (Seneral Dag Hammarskjold, the Seafarers In- temjational Union, the Federal District Court of New York, the Arab Trade Undons and the Scan¬ dinavian union movement THE CLEOPATRA, a passen¬ ger-cargo vessel remained im- mobilized at an East River berth in New York wldle the Seafarers Union and the International Long¬ shoremen's Union awaited federal court action on a bid by the Khedivlai Mail Line of Alexan¬ dria, owners of the Cleopatra, for an injunction to halt the picket¬ ing. VS. District Court Judge EkJiward Weinfeld denied the mo- tdon and the case was moved to the court of Judge Thomas E. Murphy, who reserved decision. Attorneys for the two unions toid Judge Murphy that more than 100 American sliips were cur¬ rently blacicllsted by the UAR "and thousands of Jol»s are in¬ volved for American seamen." Hammarskjold became involved in the dispute when reports de¬ veloped in Israel that he had in¬ tervened with the Scandinavian Transport Workers Federation in the lifttng of the Swedish mari¬ time workers of thedr two-week boycott of UAR shipping. HAMMARSKJOLD angrily de¬ nied the report at a press confer¬ ence, asserting that the "very idea" of sucih intervention by liim was "stupid." However, the Reu¬ ters News Agency reported from Stocltiholm that the Scandinavian Transport Workers Federation had discussed with the Secretary General "the question of Scan¬ dinavian ships that have been in¬ terfered with in the Suez Canal on the way to or from Israel." The Israel Foreign Ministry de¬ clined comment on the reported Intervention, Indicating it was awaiting an authoritative report from the Israel Embassy in Stook- Iiolm on the ending of the Swedish antl-UAR boycott. The Israel press, however, waa virtually unanimous in stating the Intervention to be a fact A typi¬ cal comment was that of Davar, the official organ of the Hlsta^ drut which said the reported In¬ tervention might liave l>een some¬ what justified if Hammarskjold "lias some other plan against the Egiyptlan boycott of Israel ships and goods," a possibUIty about whloh the news^per waa highly skeptical. nv AN IMMEDIATE response to the picketing of the Qeopatra, Syrian port workers picketed three _American freighters and two oil tankers In the port of Latakia and in the oil port of Banias. Syrian authorities said American vessels would not be handled in UAR ports until the picketing of the Cleopatra was ended. The Arab trade unions met to plan a general boycott In ail Arab ports of United States sliipplng to counter the blockade against the Cleopatra. The State Departmeait comment was preceded by an expression by the UAR of "offioiai concern" to the State Department over the blockade of the Cleopatra. UAR Ambassador Mostafa Kamel de¬ livered the protest personally to G. Lewis Jones, Assistant Secre-' tary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. The UAR envoy called the picketing of the Cleopatra (Oontinned on psye 4) A Veteran Champion Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel woe accompanied on his reocoit visit to the United States by his wife, Fanbt.

Alpha Bpaiion Pi fraternity took second place with its skit, "The Unjailables." Sigma Delta Tau sorority and Sigma Alpha Mu fra¬ ternity tied for tliird place. Tms YEAR'S ediUon of Stunt Night was the most enjoyable in a long time. The crowd waa one of the largest ever. Proceeds from the evening go to the United Jewdsh Student Fund which is turned over ' to the Columbus United Jewish Pund and CJoun- cdl. Over 800 persons from the campus and Columbus communi¬ ties attended. The entire evening utiUzed the time and talent of over 2000 Jew¬ ish students on the campus. Com¬ petition among the participants is very keen and the "old coUege spirit" so often quoted was defdnltely prevetont during prep¬ arations, which for many of the groups began as much as one year in advance.

Since Mersl^on Auddtorium was built Stunt Night bas been held there attracting many more tlian was possible in the HiUel audi¬ torium. THE SKITS are prepared and performed by memliers of the sororities and fraternities. (3en- erally they use music from Broad¬ way allows and write new words to It to fflt Into a general theme. Occasionally, as was the case with Delta Phd Epsilon sorority's skdt, "Model in the Middle of a Muddle," the words and the music were original. And that takes a lot of talent and work.

Full email after the jump.

Dear [name redacted]
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that Genica dba Geeks.com ("Genica") recently discovered on December 5, 2007 that customer information, including Visa credit card information, may have been compromised. In particular, it is possible that an unauthorized person may be in possession of your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number, expiration date, and card verification number. We are still investigating the details of this incident, but it appears that an unauthorized individual may have accessed this information by hacking our eCommerce website.
We take this breach of our data seriously, and we deeply regret that this incident has occurred. We immediately reported this crime to local law enforcement authorities, as well as the Secret Service and other federal authorities. We also reported the incident to Visa. We have engaged an outside, nationally recognized security firm to determine how this incident occurred and to confirm that information we obtain is protected to the fullest extent reasonably possible.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to review your Visa credit card account statements and to monitor your credit reports as provided below. To assist you, Genica has taken the following steps:
We have set up a toll-free, call-in number to assist you with questions or concerns you may have related to this incident. All questions should be directed to 1-888-529-6261 or 1-212-560-5108 for non-US recipients.
PLEASE NOTE: These numbers will be active beginning on Tuesday, January 9, 2008.
We have provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, you can have the agency place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, please contact any one of the agencies listed below.

With my 17-year-old daughter headed to college, I tried out the new college scorecard tool launched by the Obama administration after the president's State of the Union address.
With my 17-year-old daughter headed to college, I tried out the new college scorecard tool launched by the Obama administration after the president's State of the Union address.
I was not impressed. Some links didn't work, and certain information I wanted wasn't there. Overall, the tool just didn't add much value to help our family figure out which college would be the most affordable.
The tool, which you can find at whitehouse.gov, is too general when it comes to the final price of college.
Designed by the Department of Education, the scorecard includes the average net price data for in-state students, the school's graduation rate, loan default rates and median borrowing. Oh, and the data used for the average net price are for the 2010-11 academic year.
Honestly, given what I've been experiencing and after talking to numerous other parents, the college scorecard doesn't address our most pressing needs. What would help more would be an intensive effort by the administration to bring down the cost of college so families wouldn't have to borrow so heavily.
My daughter Olivia, who has excellent grades, applied to four colleges - two in-state schools and two out of state. She was accepted at North Carolina A&T, Towson University and the Honors College at the University of Maryland, College Park.
The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill turned her down. The UNC rejection notice was nice enough. "With many more candidates than spaces, we cannot avoid making thousands of difficult decisions," the vice provost wrote.
My heart sunk when Olivia didn't get into UNC. But the penny-pincher in me was jumping for joy. We've saved for her education, but not enough to pay the $43,848 annual out-of-state price for UNC.
Across the country, families are now waiting for their letters that lay out how much money their kids might get to finance their educations.
A useful tool I'm looking forward to is one the administration previously announced, a financial aid shopping sheet. The administration has gotten more than 600 colleges to agree to provide important financial information to incoming freshmen starting with the 2013-14 school year. As part of their financial aid packages, the schools said they would disclose these key pieces of information: They will be clearer about how much one year of college will cost; they will provide a better distinction between grants, scholarships and loans; they will provide estimated monthly payments for the federal student loans that graduates will likely owe; and they will supply information about the percentages of students who enroll from one year to the next, graduate and repay their loans without defaulting.
The shopping sheet is a tool the administration should demand that colleges provide. Right now, it's only voluntary.

Recommendations for critical information infrastructure protection
Critical infrastructures (CI) are organizational and physical structures and facilities of such vital importance to a nation's society and economy that their failure or degradation would result in sustained supply shortages, significant disruption of public safety and security, or other dramatic consequences.
High relevance of critical infrastructures for our society
On the move towards the information age, the increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) is inevitably creating new areas of vulnerability and dependencies. If government, economy and society continue to put themselves in a position of dependency on IT in their daily work, their ability to act will increasingly depend on the reliable and secure functioning of the underlying information and communication technology. If this is not guaranteed for the critical infrastructures, the implications for state and society can become imponderable. In view of these threats and vulnerabilities, critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is a challenge requiring joint efforts from government and economy.
Within the area of critical infrastructure protection, the BSI focuses particularly on IT threats, that is on critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP). The BSI applies the term "information infrastructure" both to the ICT sector per se (the large IT and telecommunications networks including their components and operators) and to the ICT-based infrastructures of other sectors.
Website about the protection of critical infrastructures
Detailed information about the protection of critical infrastructures in Germany can be found on a website about CIP. This website is maintained in cooperation by the BBK and the BSI .

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinians can accept a limited Israeli presence in the West Bank for up to three years after a peace deal, but reject demands for a transition period of more than 10 years, their leader said in comments broadcast Tuesday.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated a long-standing position, suggesting that there's been little movement in U.S.-mediated talks toward narrowing the gaps between the two sides.
In an interview broadcast at an Israeli security conference, Abbas appeared to be speaking about the Jordan Valley, an area in the West Bank that borders Jordan and has become a central issue in Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. Israel wants a continued presence along the strategic border and Palestinians demand they withdraw once a Palestinian state is formed.
Israel has traditionally viewed the valley as a buffer against possible Arab attack from the east, though Israeli security experts are now split on whether the Jewish state needs to maintain control there in an era when long-range rockets may pose a greater threat than tanks. Israel also has a peace treaty with Jordan.
"I am saying that clearly that whoever proposes 10 or 15 years for a transition period does not want to withdraw. We say that a transitional period should not exceed three years during which Israel can withdraw gradually," Abbas said.
Abbas said a third party like NATO could take over security arrangements during the withdrawal time.
"The border of the Palestinian state will eventually be in the hands of the Palestinians, not the Israeli army," Abbas said. "This opportunity for peace might not return," he added, saying a peace agreement would earn Israel the recognition of "57 Arab and Muslim states" from "Mauritania to Indonesia."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to return to the region in the coming weeks with a proposed "framework" for a final peace deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Tuesday that Israel does "not have to agree" to all the U.S. positions in the framework.
Speaking at the same security conference Tuesday evening, Netanyahu said: "We will soon know if it is possible to continue negotiations with the Palestinians."
He said a peace agreement would demand "strong security arrangements" to protect against Palestinian attacks.
Israel withdrew its soldiers and settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005, and the Islamic militant group Hamas later took over the territory and used it to fire thousands of mortars and rockets into the Jewish state. Netanyahu said he doesn't want another "terror state" on its borders. Netanyahu said an agreement must ensure "a long time Israeli military presence along the Jordan River" and other security arrangements that Israel would be responsible for. He did not elaborate on the time frame.
Netanyahu reiterated his position that the Palestinians must recognize Israel as the Jewish national homeland and that Palestinian incitement in their media, schools and mosques must end for peace to succeed.
He said recognition of the Jewish state is at the "root of the conflict," as it predates settlements and other issues at the heart of the negotiations.

On this study trip students met members of Parliament from different federal political parties and dined in the parliamentary dining room, hosted by federal Quebec Liberal MP Denis Paradis, whose Quebec riding of Brome-Missisquoi borders Vermont. Students also attended Question Period for an opportunity to watch the governing Liberals defend their record against the opposition, and toured Parliament including the House of Commons and the Senate. The study trip also emphasized the importance of Canadian culture to ongoing national identity discussions as Canada approaches its 150th anniversary next year, with students viewing Canadian art at the Ottawa Art Gallery and receiving lessons and competing in the popular sport of curling. Students also interviewed Canadians regarding their opinions of the upcoming U.S. presidential election and produced a short documentary video of the exchanges. The annual fieldtrip is a collaborative tradition dating back over 15 years between Saint Michael's and the University of Vermont, designed to give students from both schools first-hand exposure to Canadian politics, culture and society.

Benjamin Creme, a British artist and long-time student of esoteric philosophy, has become the principal source of information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1922, Benjamin Creme began studying art at an early age, developing into an accomplished painter in the modernist style.
He befriended and collaborated with many of the leading figures of the time in British art, music and literature. His paintings have been exhibited in a number of prestigious galleries.
Listen to Mr. Creme's lecture in Tokyo, Japan on May 10, 2003 (Real player needed)
Throughout his early years Creme also studied various aspects of esoteric philosophy, in particular the teachings released in the late 1800s through Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, and more recently through Alice A. Bailey. Although these teachings led him to believe in the existence of the Masters of Wisdom ― a group of perfected individuals who are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet ― it nevertheless came as a complete surprise to him when, in 1959, he was contacted by one of the Masters. He was told, among other things, that Maitreya, the World Teacher ― the Master of all the Masters ― would return in about 20 years and that he (Creme) would have a role to play in the event if he chose to accept it.
More than a decade later, in 1972, Creme began a period of arduous training under his Master's direction to prepare him for his coming task: announcing to a skeptical world the emergence of the World Teacher, awaited by people of every religion under his various names ― the Christ, Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Krishna, Maitreya Buddha. Creme's constant contact with a Master of Wisdom gives him access to up-to-date information on Maitreya's emergence, plus the total conviction needed to present this story.
From 1975 to 1979, Creme lectured, by invitation, throughout Europe. During his first US tour in 1980, he spoke to large audiences in many major cities. Since the early 1980s, his tours have included Western and Eastern Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and two trips a year through the US. He has been interviewed on more than 300 radio and television programs in the US alone.
Creme's books on the reappearance of the Christ have been translated into seven languages and are published throughout the world by groups responding to his message. He is also co-editor of Share International, a monthly magazine that focuses on the political, economic, social and spiritual changes now occurring globally. The magazine is read in more than 70 countries.
Benjamin Creme receives no payment for this work and makes no claims about his own spiritual status. These facts, along with his authenticity, intelligence and humor, lend credibility to an otherwise incredible story, and prompt dozens of well-known broadcast personalities to agree with Canadian Broadcasting host/producer, Max Allen, who said: "The Maitreya story is important and Creme is an admirable spokesman."
Since his first public talk in 1974, millions of people have heard Creme's message of hope, and many have been inspired to help make it known on a worldwide scale. "My job," Creme says, "has been to make the initial approach to the public, to help create a climate of hope and expectancy. If I can do that, I'll be well pleased."

West campus addition rooted in ancient Greece
April 5, 2012

East Carolina University might be the youngest medical school in the state, but an addition to its campus has a lineage that goes back thousands of years to the father of medicine himself.
A descendant of the "Tree of Hippocrates" is now growing in front of the Brody Medical Sciences Building. The tree was propagated locally from seed from a tree at the National Library of Medicine. That tree grew from a cutting off of a tree on the Greek island of Cos. That tree's parent is where Hippocrates is said to have taught medicine to his students.
The tree, Plantanus orientalis, or Oriental plane tree, is related to the American sycamore, Platanus occidentalis. Grounds staff members at the National Institutes of Health (which includes the NLM) made numerous attempts to grow cuttings and seeds from the tree it received from Cos, but none survived. That's where Dr. Walter Pories, an ECU surgeon and researcher of most anything he takes an interest in, took over.
Five years ago, during a visit to the library, he saw the tree with a plaque identifying it as the Tree of Hippocrates along with a message about the tree's history. "In view of the construction at ECU, I thought it would be fun to plant another descendant on our campus," Pories wrote in a letter about the tree. "However, I was unaware how difficult it is to propagate this species of tree."
He collected seeds, but none germinated. He tried again in 2008 with cuttings. All died. "In 2009, still determined, I collected another set of seeds," Pories wrote. "According to instructions from a forester, I put six in the freezer before planting, I gave another six to a forestry professor from N.C. State and the last six to Tommy Lassiter at the Plant and See Nursery here in Greenville. Again, mine failed to germinate as did those of the professor, but in (the) fall, Mr. Lassiter called me and asked me what he 'should do with all those trees.'"
Pories took several to his Falkland farm and gave one each to Dr. Paul Cunningham, dean of the Brody School of Medicine, and Steve Lawler, president of Vidant Medical Center.
In late March, a landscaping crew from ECU dug up one of the trees at Pories' farm and transplanted it on the Brody campus. It's in the grassy island between the two main parking lots in front of the Brody Building.
John Gill, the university landscape architect, said crews will keep a close eye on the tree as it gets accustomed to its new home. Once it begins to mature and branch out, it could be a spot for teaching, just as its ancestor was in ancient Greece.
"It's a cool tree, it has a great history, and the great thing is (Dr. Pories has) a couple more at his farm," Gill said.
Pories' story goes further.
"I was reminded that I had stolen federal property and that I needed to make peace with someone to be sure that we could use the tree," he said. "Accordingly, after a discussion with the leadership of the NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases), who support our research, I was referred to the head of the grounds department.
"They were delighted to learn that we had propagated the tree and asked if they could have one or two with the explanation that they always kept one or two 'stand-ins' for ceremonial trees, but they had been unable to propagate this one in spite of all sorts of tries."

A mayor's business: Their schedules are public record
July 08. 2013 6:20PM
The City of Nashua contends, incredibly, that the mayor's official schedule has no public purpose. If that is the case, then the office of mayor serves no public purpose, and the taxpayers can abolish it. Municipal attorneys really ought to think through their let's-find-clever-ways-to-evade-the-law claims before issuing them.
The Telegraph of Nashua asked for Mayor Donalee Lozeau's calendar in February. The mayor provided it, and the paper wrote about it for Sunshine Week. Later, the mayor said during a meeting of the aldermanic Budget Review Committee that city staff members prepare and maintain her calendar, The Telegraph reported. That prompted the paper to make a May 3 request for "any record that keeps information on Mayor Donnalee Lozeau's daily appointments and meetings. This record is regarded as the mayor's calendar, or schedule."
The mayor refused. Both Mayor Lozeau and the city's deputy corporate counsel wrote to the Telegraph to claim that the information is exempt from the state's right-to-know law. They cited RSA 91-A: 5, VIII, which exempts from public scrutiny: "Any notes or other materials made for personal use that do not have an official purpose, including but not limited to, notes and materials made prior to, during, or after a governmental proceeding."
But The Telegraph did not request the mayor's personal notes. It requested "the mayor's calendar, or schedule." The city is trying to dodge the right-to-know law by misconstruing both the paper's request and the law. A mayor's public schedule is plainly subject to the right-to-know law. The city needs to disclose it.

Don't miss the abstract painting and bas relief exhibit by Deborah Sisco at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery.
Although originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Sisco now considers herself a Charlestonian as she has lived here the majority of her life.
She says her "work is influenced by the pioneers of the modern art movement of the 19th century and by today's pop music."
This new series, called "Imagine," is a combination of oils and bas relief in oils.
Sisco says the bas relief idea came to her when a friend told her "of a painting he had wanted to buy of a person playing a guitar then lost interest when he found that the artist simply copied it from a photograph."
Sisco then thought, "Why not create something that actually appeared to come out of the canvas?"
She explains that the process is done in stages. Because they are heavy, the pieces must be done on wood panels to support the weight. First, a structure is built using wire, plaster and different forms to create the three-dimensional portion of each piece. That is then covered with molding paste to give it a feeling of being chiseled. After that, she covers it with gesso and impasto to create a soft painting surface.
"Sometimes I see art in a face or the sky or in a cloud. Sometimes I see a group of shapes, colors or buildings ... and sometimes I dream," says the artist.
She also says that a good work of art should be either "visually pleasing, disturbing, happy or peaceful, but it should not leave you empty."
Join Sisco for the opening reception of "Imagine" from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery, 160 East Bay St.
Some of the best art exhibits in town happen at the Saul Alexander Gallery, inside the Charleston County Public Library. And one starting next week is certainly out of this world.
Starting Tuesday, enjoy the new exhibit of astronomical art by recent College of Charleston graduate Alizey Khan. The show, called "Interspatial," includes paintings on canvas as well as three-dimensional paintings created with layers of resin and acrylic paint and some etchings, all of which explore the fascinating things occurring in outer space.
With no formal background in astronomy, Kahn spends a lot of time studying angles of telescopic images of celestial objects she paints. Her approach is studious, laborious and meditative.
"The meditative aspect of Khan's work is in the process itself; she focuses on intricate details and slow art-making processes to remind herself that the universe is so much greater than our tiny planet and our meaningless daily worries. Khan's painterly eye romanticizes the astronomical objects depicted, creating images of hazy, beautiful, distant escapes which fill the viewer with wonder and curiosity," explains the gallery's representative.
Kahn, 23, is three weeks younger than the Hubble Space Telescope itself and is wildly fascinated by the universe and all its mysterious attributes. She was born in the United Kingdom until the age of 12, when her family moved to Pakistan for three years; they then moved to the U.S. when she was 15. She has exhibited throughout the Charleston area, including showing at the Halsey Institute's Young Contemporaries exhibit and Redux's "Reorientation 5" exhibit. She will be creating a site-specific installation for Enough Pie's "Awakening" event July 10-31, in addition to her show at the library gallery.
Join Kahn for an opening reception from 5-7:45 p.m. Tuesday, with an artist's lecture from 6-7 p.m. She has also created a limited number of linocut prints, hand-printed herself, that she will be giving away to gallery visitors Tuesday. The exhibition will be on display through Aug. 17.
For more information, go to www.ccpl.org and www.alizeykhan.com.
In the spirit of helping the local food community kick off its fall community supported agriculture membership drive, Helena Fox Fine Art and goat. sheep. cow. will be hosting a meet-and-greet for Pinckney's Produce from 5-7 p.m. Thursday at 106 Church St.
Publicist Katie Thompson explains, "Fifth generation farmer Urbie West and his son, Ashby West, are the owners and farmers of Pinckney's Produce and would like to invite members of the local Charleston food community to join them to kickoff membership sign-ups for the CSA's fall 2013 harvest season.
"Sara Clow of GrowFood Carolina and Charleston artist West Fraser of Helena Fox Fine Art will also be in attendance to discuss the importance of strengthening our local food and agricultural communities by supporting our local farmers and growers."
Fraser and Urbie West initially met when Fraser stumbled upon the old, dilapidated barn that sits on the edge of the McLeod farm property in Seabrook, Thompson said.
Fraser sat down to paint the relic of agricultural history only to realize that there was a thriving CSA operation growing behind the old barn.
This chance encounter ignited discussions between the two of how to better serve the needs of South Carolina's agricultural heritage.
Fraser's now completed painting of the McLeod barn will be on show at the event, she said.
What a great way to merge fine art and local culture and produce. Of course, you can attend the event Thursday and learn more about it that way, but you also can contact Pinckney's Produce at 321-8344 or www.pinckneysproduce.com.

I agree that James should have been the hire!!! Stefani never stepped up to PM, and just flew UTR the whole season. If The Apprentice should survive for another season, she and Trump have set a bad precedent. Why would future candidates willingly step up and put a bullseye on their chests if they don't have to anymore?
I told Mrs. Tanbuns that I wasn't gonna watch it again, but like you TheCinera I probably will. But if this show is gonna survive, Trump needs to do these things .....1) Move it back to NY City.2) Get rid of the mamby-pamby tasks3) Forget the sleeping in tents idea4) Deep six the PM until you lose idea

The primary treatment for pancreatic cancer is surgery. The goal of treatment is to remove as much of the cancer as possible, while preserving the pancreas and its function. The type of surgery depends on the stage, the type of surgery needed, and overall health. When the pancreas is removed, the body can no longer produce insulin to control blood glucose levels. To treat diabetes, people without a pancreas must rely on insulin shots. To overcome the loss of digestive enzyme production, an enzyme pill is taken with meals to help the body digest foods (like fats).
Pancreatic surgeries are long and difficult procedures that often have postoperative complications. It is important to seek out an experienced surgeon and hospital for these procedures.
Depression is a common symptom of pancreatic cancer. During a hospital stay, psychotherapy may be part of the treatment plan.
Surgery for Resectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
Curative surgery aims to remove as much tumor as possible, in the hopes of curing the cancer. A resectable or borderline resectable stage is most likely able to be cured with surgery.
The type of surgery depends on the location and extent of the tumor.
Procedures for resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer include:
A Whipple procedure is the most common surgery, but is also very complex. This is an extremely extensive operation that involves removing the head and body of the pancreas, either all of the stomach or the lower part of the stomach, the first and second sections of the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum), surrounding lymph nodes, the gallbladder, and common bile duct. The remaining parts of the stomach and small intestine are attached together so food can pass through the digestive system.
Pancreatectomy may result in removing the tail of the pancreas or the entire organ (total). The spleen, a nearby organ, is also removed during a distal pancreatectomy. This procedure is not usually done for ductal carcinomas (most common type), but may be more useful for other types of pancreatic cancer.
A total pancreatectomy involves removing the pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, lymph nodes, and parts of the small intestine and stomach.
In addition, it is possible to live without a spleen, but not having one makes it harder for the body to fight infection. Extra protection against some infections can be attained with vaccines and lifestyle changes.
Nutritional support may be needed after pancreatic surgery. The type of support depends on the extent of the surgery that was done.
Nutritional support may be needed after pancreatic surgery. The type of support depends on the extent of the surgery that was done.
Palliative Surgery for Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Some procedures can be done to relieve complications and improve quality of life. As cancer grows, it affects the body's ability to work properly. Most of these procedures are done during an endoscopy.
- Stent—A stent can be used to open an area that may be blocked by a tumor or a collapsed duct. A biliary stent is used in the common bile duct and an enteral stent is used in the stomach and/or small intestine.
- Biliary bypass—An opening is created between the gallbladder and part of the small intestine. This allows bile to flow around the pancreas and into the small intestine.
- Gastric bypass—If the stomach is blocked and food cannot move through the digestive system normally, the stomach can be directly connected to the small intestine.

The Walrus Says
Band Director Bethany Clarke has put together a program of 15 selections ranging from marches to interpretations of English folk and sea tunes, including music being presented by the band for the first time. "There are a lot of different and intensive emotions in our new pieces," Clarke said.
Refreshments will be served following the concert. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
The island's eighth graders are continuing their spring garden bulb sale, stopping at homes to offer 18 selections of plantings that will be delivered to buyers in May.
The students are also available for spring yard clean-up work and interested homeowners can make arrangements by calling Deb at the Teen Center at 423-7261. All monies earned from the bulb sale and clean-ups go toward the class trip to Washington, D.C. in June.
Marilyn Dutton called in to answer Dave Duffy's query about the islander who produced the "Dukes of Hazzard." She said it was Paul Romeo Picard, who lived on Clarke Street. "He used to tease the daylights out of me when we were little," she said.
Robert Goode also said it was Paul R. Picard, who had grown up with Martin O'Brian. Goode added that his cousin, Victor Goode, was the soundman on the series and that it was distributed by Warner Bros.
Peter Pemantell's question about who were the janitors/maintenance men at the island schools brought this reply from Mary Frances Czarnetzki Doss in Corning, Calif.
"I recall a Mr. Brayman at Carr and a Mr. Glenn at T.H. Clarke," she wrote.
Marilyn Dutton, Shirley Hull and Nancy Smith O'Brien agree. Shirley added the first names: William Glenn and Frank Brayman.
Shirley also asks, "Who was the first janitor at the new Jamestown School and who was his assistant?" She said the janitor had learned the ropes from William Glenn.
Bird lovers who find themselves in the Wakefield area will want to stop at Nature View on Main Street just south of and on the same side as the Mews Tavern. It has it all.
More on Nelson Eddy: Cynthia (Daly) Pinson of Seabrook, Texas, writes, "My mother (Astrid Knowles) used to sell rugs for the blind back in the late 1950s and one of her customers was Nelson Eddy's father and step-mother. The first time she went to the house and saw his photo on their piano, she was thrilled to find out that Nelson Eddy was their son. I have the Press delivered to me here in Texas so I can keep up on what's going on in town between my twice yearly visits." She signed off, adding, "Missing Jamestown Beyond Belief."
Phyllis Anderson called from Wilmington, Ohio, to say that Nelson Eddy never lived in Jamestown, only his parents.
*** I wonder who paid for the elaborate newsletter from Sen. M. Teresa Paiva-Weed that arrived in my mailbox last week?
And for the latest in the Presidents' Day controversy, Jan Tabit, who lives just outside Washington, D.C., responds to Larry Lewis, "I stand corrected. I have lived here 40 years and did not realize. Went to OPM's site and you are correct."
In 1948, Fred Astaire starred in "Easter Parade," which had great music by Irving Berlin. Who played his young dancing partner, whom he discovered and turned into a star?
From John A. Murphy: "The Alaska license tags on vehicles around town remind me of the number of military families we have living in our community. Most of them are stationed here during a relatively brief period while a husband or wife attends the Naval War College. Frequently, these families have children attending our schools. We are lucky to have them here, and our community is enriched by their presence."
Some good stuff from John: "In the Fellini movie 'La Dolce Vita' (the sweet life), as the voluptuous Anita Ekberg is cavorting in Rome's Trevi Fountain, a great song that became a big hit in the U.S. is playing on the soundtrack. What is that song?
"Another hit by the same musician was a favorite song of the Jamestown Drum & Bugle Corps in the 1950s. What is that song?
Our pussy willow tree is in full bloom!
Collaboration '10 closes down this weekend at the Jamestown Gallery at 47 Conanicus Ave. It's a great opportunity to purchase from a treasure trove of island talent and at the same time, help support the new Jamestown Arts Center.
A happy story of persistence from eighth-grader Jan Trousilek:
"Recently, my friends and I were at Head's Beach, when an unfortunate thing occurred. My new iPod slipped out of my pocket and fell into a hole in the jetty. My friends and I could still hear the music playing. After about 30 minutes of trying to move rocks and find where it had landed, we gave up hope, and left in my friend's car.
"About an hour later, I received a text message on my phone from one of the friends who had been with me, Ellissa (Lissy) Barclay. During this time, I was already on Apple trying to find out how to replace a lost/stolen iPod. As I went through the text message, a photo was attached to the bottom. I clicked 'open,' and there was a picture of my friend's hand with my iPod in it.
"I immediately called her house and asked her if it was a joke. Turns out it was not. Armed with a flashlight, a bungee cord, a metal pipe, and a stick with tape on the end, she, her mother, and family friend Kenny Caswell had gotten it out of the jetty with minimal damage and little to no scratches.
"I would like to send my sincerest thank-you to Lissy, Amy Barclay (her mother) and Kenny, Amy's friend, for taking an hour out of their lives to help with an issue that was not even theirs. I hope they are all well and I give my best regards to them for helping retrieve my newly bought iPod."
This adds a whole new meaning to the words "rock music."
Tonight's movie at 7 at the Jamestown Philomenian Library is "Il Postino," a 1994 Italian film. And, on Sunday afternoon at 3, the popular award-winning duo Atwater & Donnelly will present their unique traditional American and Celtic folk music and dance, as well as original songs and poetry.
The full moon on Tuesday is the Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Lenten Moon and Worm Moon.
*** Be true!

Confession Wednesday is Becoming a Bad Habit (no pun intended): The Overwhelmed Slacker Edition
Dear Reader,
It has 7 days and one new Pope since my last confession. I confess I am behind again, this is becoming a habit, a bad bad habit.
It's not because I'm slacking, well, being overwhelmed creates a different kind of slacking--let me explain.
To the confessional--
I confess when I am overwhelmed with a TO DO list of too many items, sometimes I turn into zombie poet, defaulting to the easiest activities--Facebook, reading articles, Facebook, looking at my To Do list, getting a snack, staring at my email.
Saturday I went paddleboarding for 2 hours. Yesterday I took a nap.
This overwhelmed slacker lifestyle doesn't happen often, just when I have a lot to do and a lot on my mind.
Many times I just find myself staring at something, usually my email and in my head the question circles, "What do I do next?"
Because of this complete shutdown I have when there's a lot on my plate, I have to make myself a smaller To Do list before bed with numbered items, so when I wake up I know what to do first, then second, then third. I know, this sounds ridiculous. But I'm like a deer in the headlights, or a scared poet at the mic, I just stare at the audience, the oncoming truck-- what do I do??
Knowing when I don't have a plan of attack (aka a To Do list) I will do nothing, I keep a To Do list.
Knowing, I will become a huge slacker if I have too much to do, I make a smaller To Do list to fool my inner toddler who becomes overwhelmed with too much.
Yes, I was that girl.
I was the girl who needed to know what and where and who and how long.
I remember being in second grade and seeing that some days the third graders went in and took their chairs down. Other days they lined up outside their classroom door. I remember worrying--How will I know what to do?! I will I know when to go in or stay out?
The answer was probably as simple as a locked or unlocked door, but as a second grader, I went to bed with this puzzle in my brain every night, dreading third grade and not knowing what to do.
Third grade came and I got another teacher.
All that crazy worrying (seriously, what 2nd grader worries over such things) and nothing happened. I didn't even get the teacher with the rules about what to do.
I have improved my worrying-brain immensely, though it took me most of my thirties to do so and one collection of anxiety poems (um, Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room), but occasionally when I get overwhelmed I wake in the middle of night wondering "What have I forgotten?" (You will see this theme in my next book...)
I confess I am glad I know the secret to me getting things done and getting back on track is just about ten minutes of making a large To Do list seem small.
Being an overwhelmed slacker presents itself in many ways-- maybe you do something you don't need to do (I, for example, uploaded about 60+ of my favorite portraits I've taken of poets). Was this needed? No. Should I have been doing something else? Yes. Why was I doing it? I'm not sure-- it was fun? Probably. Did it use a good hour or two hours of my time? Yep.
I confess sometimes I'm the most efficient person around and sometimes I'm Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Aloha, Mr. Hand.
But in the end, I do manage to get things done. Maybe I should just live the Spicoli lifestyle when it comes-- All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
I hope you're fine too.
