MONTREAL — For months, the Parti Québécois government has been righteously condemning the abuses in the financing of municipal politicians that the Charbonneau inquiry has exposed. Last week, when the government finally tabled its bill to "reform" the sordid mess, we learned that the government's outrage is phony.
Municipal Affairs Minister Sylvain Gaudreault's bill to change the financing rules in time for November's elections in cities and towns across the province is a sad joke. That's for three reasons.
The legislation, Bill 26, is not to take effect until July 1 — a scant four months before voting day. Many politicians by that time will have filled their campaign chests with private donations under the existing discredited rules. The new rules will thus primarily influence late-starting candidates.
To have serious impact on the 2013 municipal elections, Gaudreault should have shown the same sort of hustle that a cabinet colleague, Bernard Drainville, demonstrated with his own bill to reform provincial elections: Drainville, the minister for democratic institutions, proposed that legislation in November, the National Assembly adopted it in December and it went into effect Jan. 1.
No justification exists for Gaudreault not doing the same.
The new rules are too meagre.
The bill would cut a citizen's total donations to parties or to individuals from the current maximum of $1,000 to a maximum of $300. Drainville's law for provincial elections shows greater seriousness: It cuts the maximum donation much further — from $1,000 to $100.
What's good for provincial candidates should be good for municipal ones, especially since the latter's travel and TV expenses tend to be less.
In any case, it matters little by how much the ceiling is lowered. Canny bagmen will still go about collecting $1,000 cheques until Canada Day.
Even more serious is what the bill does not do. It fails to fix existing practices, enshrined in law, that give advantages to candidates running for political parties and that handicap independent candidates.
One such unfair practice concerns subsidies. A party can collect an annual subsidy from municipal taxpayers based on the share of votes it got in the previous election. Union Montreal, for one, has received about $150,000 this year, just as it in each of the three years since the last election. It's able to use the money to raise its profile.
Yet a winning independent candidate gets nothing.
It would have been good to see a bill enacted into law months ago that halted this subsidy in 2013. That would have created a more level playing field for all.
Gaudreault says that his bill is but a stopgap measure for this election. He says he'll come up with a permanent law later. I hope such long-term legislation would lessen the dominance of parties in many cities.
That, however, would mean defying the political culture. I'm astonished by the respect the system of municipal parties gets from supposedly sophisticated observers — including political scientists, pundits and successive municipal affairs ministers. Nothing seems to shake their faith, not even the ongoing spate of allegations that parties have, by virtue of their illegal fundraising, been at the core of corruption and collusion scandals not only in Montreal but also in Laval, Longueuil, Boisbriand and Mascouche.
Granted, parties are useful when ideology is needed, which is why parties are justified at the provincial and federal levels. But clearing snow and deciding on zoning requires less ideology than pragmatism. That's why most North America cities do well with independent politicians exclusively.
True believers in municipal parties argue that independents can be crooked, too. That's so. Yet it's harder to corrupt a city council composed of independents.
Note, for example, that business people appearing before the Charbonneau inquiry have alleged that, to obtain a coveted contract or a zoning change, they have had to give illegal money to just two people in Montreal — Bernard Trépanier, a top Union Montreal official, Frank Zampino, head of the city executive committee and a UM member. If there were no parties, payoffs might be needed to dozens of members of the 65-member city council to obtain a majority vote.
You can't ban municipal parties — the Canadian Charter of Rights wouldn't allow it. But you can change laws that are biased in their favour. Real long-term reform would, for example, end the double standard whereby parties can collect donations during the four years between elections while independent candidates can only collect them during the election year.
But I'm dreaming. You can hardly expect a government unwilling make serious changes in time for the Nov. 3 elections to take long-term reform any more earnestly.

This pendant is a legacy from my grandmother (1882-1978). I will always cherish this juwel as a precious memory of her. Also because I share her taste for her nowadays antique jewelry.
This is a silver pendant with Marcasites and a large round Hematite (silver greyish) stone.

Future Pilot AKA | GEOG22 | Released: 15/03/04
On this, the follow-up to the acclaimed 'Tiny Waves Mighty Sea' collection, Future Pilot AKA is seen stepping out in a militaristic style with 'Salute Your Soul'. Acknowledging, as Peter Tosh would describe, the current political 'shituations', Sushil K. Dade and his comrades are on hand to provide a sonic solution to help ease the pain with an offering of spirituals and gospel framed musics to soothe your soul. Recorded as is their tradition, in an informal space, this time round a Glasgow tenement flat during a long hot summer; no noise police were called to the scene, and it was a peaceful demonstration documented in true guerrilla style. Most of the recruits were culled from Glasgow's legendary magical tea house, Tchai Ovna, including mission co-pilot and local sound terrorist, James Chapman AKA Colditz. Once again, angelic Indian vocals where provided by Vinita Dade, most notably on the haunting closing prayer, Aap Ke Bina, which was recorded on the top floor landing of the tenement staircase. Special agent collaborative ammunition was selected to complete these recordings. World leaders and pioneers of dub, punk, and modern composition agreed to sign the treaty, and participate in the peace collective. Dub legend, Mikey Dread (producer of The Clash's Bank Robber/Sandinista phase) provides conscious lyrics and vocalization to opening track, 'Mein Nahi Jana', quoting Woody Guthrie's famous guitar sticker, 'this machine will kill fascists', within his freeform rap-attack, which was recorded at his legendary Dread at the Controls Studios in Miami. One of the most distinctive voices from the only true wave of punk rock, Vic Godard (Subway Sect), leads a trinity of freedom fighters, Gerard Love, Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) and James Kirk (Orange Juice) on an anti-war avant pop song, 'Love of the Land', which naturally brings together three of the greatest pop groups from this country, all in the name of peace. Minimalist composer, Philip Glass, contributes spoken word to the psychedelic Super8 boogie of 'Ravi Shankar', where he talks of his first encounter working with the sitar legend on a sound stage in Paris in the 1960s! This may be treated as the interlude, ideal for tea making or ice cream ceremonies. The Staple Singers soul classic 'If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)' is reclaimed and presented as a tonic for the freedom and unification of mankind. Salute Your Soul is epic in places - 'Heaven Celebrated On Earth'; small and calm on 'Salute The Divine Within You'; serene, ambitious, religious, important. And it is important that artists try to make sense of these insane times. Future Pilot AKA for President. Spiritual Peace Unity Freedom. Over and Out…

MONTREAL – The search for Luka Rocco Magnotta — accused of murder after the grisly discovery of a torso whose severed foot and hand were mailed to the Conservative and Liberal Party offices in Ottawa - has extended around the world, after Interpol put the slaying suspect on its international list of wanted persons.
The alert from the international police organization came after a Canada-wide warrant had been issued Wednesday for Magnotta.
Thursday afternoon, a warrant for Magnotta's arrest was issued at the Montreal courthouse. It accuses him of second-degree murder by causing the death "of an unknown person," a Criminal Code charge that carries a life sentence upon conviction.
It is unusual for indictments to not identify the victims of a homicide, but in this case it appears Montreal police have an idea who the victim was but have yet to officially identify the remains. The victim's family lives outside of Canada and investigators reportedly are having difficulty locating them.
Residents of the apartment building who were shown a photo of a man the police believe was the victim described him as an Asian man in his 30s.
In the warrant, Magnotta also is charged with committing an "indignity to the body of the human remains (of) an unknown person."
Montreal police backtracked Thursday on claims they made this week that Magnotta had dated Karla Homolka, one of Canada's most notorious sex killers. Police officials clarified Thursday that they were aware of the many rumours posted on the Internet, but had no proof to substantiate those stories. In 2007, Magnotta came forward to news media in 2007 to deny that he had dated her, although many at the time suggested he was the one who started the rumours, to gain attention.
Late Wednesday, CTV News reported that a note had been found in the box containing the severed foot. The note allegedly said that a total of six body parts had been distributed through the mail, and warned that the person responsible would kill again.
A video purporting to show Magnotta stabbing a man repeatedly on a bed has been circulating online and was sent to The Gazette. The Gazette has been unable to confirm that this is the same video that police received. The Gazette has not been able to confirm whether the video was staged.
Police have obtained a disturbing video of the crime and are taking steps to have it removed from a website where it was posted, The Gazette has confirmed.
Investigators are seeking the public's aid in locating the 29-year-old Magnotta, who may also go by the names Eric Clinton, Kirk Newman or Vladimir Romanov.
"We really need the public's help on this," said SPVM spokesman Ian Lafrenière. The assistance of residents in the area where the body was discovered had also helped the investigation advance quickly.
Magnotta is said to be a stripper and a porn star. The suspect was not previously known to police, Lafrenière said.
A headless, limbless torso was discovered in a suitcase with a heap of garbage Tuesday at Place Lucy and Decarie Blvd. in Montreal's Snowdon neighbourhood. About the same time Tuesday, an employee of Conservative Party of Canada headquarters in Ottawa opened a package that contained a severed foot. A second parcel containing a hand was later located at a Canada Post sorting facility in Ottawa.
Wednesday, police linked the severed appendages to the torso and transferred the case to Montreal police.
Montreal police focused their attention on a second floor apartment in a building on Décarie near where the torso was found Tuesday in a suitcase on the curb with a pile of garbage.
The tenant of the building is being sought by police, said residents of the building.
The apartment smelled terrible and it appears the homicide was carried out on a bed in the small apartment. A reporter saw a mattress stained with blood Wednesday afternoon.
Residents also said police believe the torso belongs to an Asian man who is apparently missing. The police have been showing them a photo of the Asian man on Wednesday.
Residents described Magnotta as a very quiet man who kept to himself. The building's superintendant joked about it.
"It's like you see in the movies. It's always the good neighbour. It's the cliché," he said.
Residents of the building said they believe Magnotta worked in the gay porn industry.
One said the only time Magnotta spoke to him was about five days ago. He asked the man, an actor, how he could get started in "legitimate" movies.
Residents of the building said they also saw Magnotta wearing a bizarre wig days ago and that they commented on his strange appearance.
Employees at a Canada Post office just a few blocks away from where the suspect lives said the police have not questioned them about the possibility of body parts being mailed from their location. Both employees were aware that a torso had been found near their location. But they said no one had asked them about the case until two reporters asked them about the strange story Wednesday afternoon.
Magnotta has also been the subject of an international social media campaign for allegedly killing kittens, videotaping their deaths and posting the videos online.
Animal rights activists around the world mobilized to identify him and offered a $5,000 to bring him to justice. The online efforts to find him may have fuelled some of Magnotta's online writings defending his reputation and complaining about "cyber stalking" and "media propaganda" on his website www.Luka-Magnotta.net.
"I do not feel the necessity to address the specific accusations made in the posts since they are so far from my character that responding to them will give them more credibility than they will ever hold. If the readers of these posts can look behind the storyline that has been created, they will see that there is no reference to a concrete transaction or event that has taken place with any specific person in which I have committed any illegal activity," he wrote on one of his eponymous websites.
"Many hoax websites are created using my image and name, posing as me to seem more believable in respect to the type of audience these websites have, I feel I don't need to list them specifically but people need to be told not to believe what they read and to take it as fact," he wrote in one article titled "Cyber Stalking" beside a photo of him shirtless and reclining.
Police have not released the victim's name. An autopsy is expected to reveal how the man was killed and whether he was dead before being dismembered, police said.
The Gazette's Jan Ravensbergen, Canadian Press and the Ottawa Citizen contributed to this report.

Im getting old! Im 54 years old! Women still like me! I still attract some women! But it's getting ridiculous!
I have no money, no status! Im a none function, none creating artist with no studio!
What do I have going for me!
I have the ability to use the Laws of attraction to manifest an idea in my imagination and allow it to grow! I have the ability to write about it as if its already happening; my goals! And then let the Universe after a time, create a path that will light up, for me to follow to my destinations!
To tell you this is frustrating is under kill! Its unbelievable that I have to continue to go through these games to have a life that others seem to have out of the box! I don't get it!
The best thing for me is to just do the writing! And go with it! Create a vision of my future! And learn to trust God!
I was at the Library! I was talking with this women at the front desk! I made a joke; as if I could not find my card; my library card! I told her to wait a moment and made a magic wand move, as if I created magic and made my other card appear! What type of response did I get! Nothing! Almost as if I had no status as a human being! And so it goes! I cant even make jokes with a librarian! I have no status! No worth to anyone!
So, I will write out being in situations where Im discovered as a human being!
As for girlfriends! Heres the deal! They have to be worth enough for me to get involved in! I have to connect with them in my soul; soul, to soul, then I will take an interest in them! But I will not take an interest in someone who is so ######6 arrogant and worthless they cant even see the value of an honest man! This is truly bizarre in my opinion!
I have no money! This does not mean Im not working with the Universe to create something!
Something is wrong!
People like me are not looked at! We are passed over by society! It does not make any sense! Im a decent respectable person! And have no value with anyone!
For you to give me value; I don't need you to give me anything! You give value because value is in front of you!
I don't know what to think!
So, if someone said; do you attract women! I don't know! I have no idea anymore who Im attracting! Im not attracting the right people! And it's not about looks! They're a bunch of ######6 @@@@@@@! It makes me sick that Im attracting these people! For God sake, Im a decent person! You would think I would be noticed by decent people! Im not! Im not noticed by anyone!
None of this makes any sense! Im not sure where to go, or whom to go to! Nothing makes any sense accept to keep working on my future and don't bother with the present!
I feel like; as far as meeting women; How would you like to keep meeting more women that see you as having no value! How would you like to meet a bunch of people that see nothing in you! What do you do! They act like Im a loser!
I would like to be around women that are smart enough to see me as a winner! But women are about money! You have to have some money! You must! You must!
Im so afraid of being judged before I get started!
Its like Im not in any type of caste system! Im outside society! No one is trained to notice me! Something!
I can write about it! Ask God to bring me the right people, , places, and things!
IT gets frustrating when you don't think your even worth enough to be treated with any status of any level! You start giving up!
Im not sure what women are looking for! It's certainly, not someone like me!
I know what Im not looking for! Im trying to understand what I am looking for! All I have to do is learn to believe! And Im trying to write as if I believe! And I will continue to do so!
When it comes to women; Im looked over! meaning, they don't want to know me! even if they here me speak! it means nothing! Im looked over!
Ive had a few desperate girls like me; they wanted to have a baby! Im sorry, thats not what I meant, when I said I wanted to be attracted to the right people! These girls are fine! their nice girls! nothing wrong with them; I hope they find a man that loves them and takes care of them!
The problem I'm having; I spend most of my time in the recovery rooms with broken sick people! the people i want to date are different then that! Im interested in more educated women!
Im a person of the arts that has no place to create any art! Its ###$! and Im suppose to meet these new people! where?
Something has to change or give way! I suppose its my confidence around people! but this is so hard! and Im expected to be supper man! this is all crazy!
I know the work that has to be done! I have to keep writing as if I already have these things I want!

BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian President Bashar Assad on Sunday outlined his vision for a road map to end nearly 22 months of violence in Syria but also struck a defiant tone, calling on his countrymen to unite against "murderous criminals" whom he said are carrying out a foreign plot seeking to tear the nation apart.
In a one-hour speech to the nation in which he appeared confident and relaxed, Assad ignored international demands for him to step down and said he is ready to hold a dialogue but only with those "who have not betrayed Syria." He offered a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution but demanded regional and Western countries stop funding and arming rebels trying to overthrow him first.
The proposal, however, is unlikely to win acceptance from Syria's opposition forces, including rebels on the ground, who have repeatedly said they will accept nothing less than the president's departure, dismissing any kind of settlement that leaves him in the picture. On top of that, Assad's new initiative is reminiscent of symbolic changes and concessions that his government made earlier in the uprising, which were rejected at the time as too little too late.
Speaking at the Opera House in central Damascus, Assad told the hall packed with his supporters that "we are in a state of war. We are fighting an external aggression that is more dangerous than any others, because they use us to kill each other."
"It is a war between the nation and its enemies, between the people and the murderous criminals," he added. The audience frequently broke out in cheers and applause.
Assad has rarely spoken since the uprising against his rule began in March 2011, and his speech Sunday was his first since June.
His last public comments were in an interview in November to Russian TV in which he vowed to die in Syria. On Sunday, he seemed equally confident in his troops' ability to crush the rebels fighting his rule, even as they edge in closer than ever to his seat of power, Damascus.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Assad's speech was "beyond hypocritical." In a message posted on his official Twitter feed, Hague said "empty promises of reform fool no one."
Wearing a suit and tie, the president spoke before a collage of pictures of what appeared to be Syrians who have been killed since March 2011.
At the end of his speech and as he was leaving the hall, he was mobbed by a group of loyalists shouting: "With our blood and souls we redeem you, Bashar!"
The president in turn waved and blew kisses to the crowd on his way out.
Assad, in his speech, acknowledged the enormous impact of the nation's conflict, which the United Nations recent estimated had killed more than 60,000 people.
"We meet today and suffering is overwhelming Syrian land. There is no place for joy in any corner of the country in the absence of security and stability," he said. "I look at the eyes of Syria's children and I don't see any happiness."
The Internet was cut in many parts of Damascus ahead of the address, apparently for security reasons.
As in previous speeches, Assad said his forces were fighting groups of "murderous criminals" and jihadi elements and denied that there was an uprising against his family's decades-long rule.
He stressed the presence of religious extremists and jihadi elements among those fighting in Syria, calling them "terrorists who carry the ideology of al-Qaeda" and "servants who know nothing but the language of slaughter."
He struck a defiant tone, saying Syria will not take dictates from anyone and urged his countrymen to unite to save the nation.
Outlining his peace initiative, he said: "The first part of a political solution would require regional powers to stop funding and arming (the rebels), an end to terrorism and controlling the borders."
He said this would then be followed by dialogue and a national reconciliation conference and the formation of a wide representative government which would then oversee new elections, a new constitution and general amnesty.
However, Assad made clear his offer to hold a dialogue is not open to those whom he considers extremists or carrying out a foreign agenda.
"We never rejected a political solution ... but with whom should we talk? With those who have extremist ideology who only understand the language of terrorism?" he said.
"Or should we with negotiate puppets whom the West brought? ... We negotiate with the master not with the slave."
As in previous speeches and interviews, he clung to the view that the crisis in Syria was a foreign-backed agenda and said it was not an uprising against his rule.
"Is this a revolution and are these revolutionaries? By God, I say they are a bunch of criminals," he said.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled to senators on Tuesday that more quantitative easing measures might be taken and urged lawmakers to not dawdle in addressing the nation's fiscal woes.
In testimony before the Senate Banking Committee as part of the Fed's semiannual report to Congress on monetary policy issues, Bernanke said that "reflecting its concerns about the slow pace of progress in reducing unemployment and the downside risks to the economic outlook," the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) "made clear at its June meeting that it is prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability."
Bernanke told lawmakers that the two areas of gravest concern—and biggest risks to the nation's recovery—are the sovereign debt and banking situation in Europe "that remains unresolved and that poses a drag on the U.S. economy," as well as the U.S. fiscal crisis. "Congress, in the short term, should address the debt limit and, in the medium term, address fiscal sustainability," he told lawmakers.
Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, says that Bernanke "does not seem ready to ease again" as soon as the next FOMC meeting on July 31-Aug. 1. However, he says, "we expect the Fed will ease again before year-end."
Addressing the nation's "fiscal cliff," in which spending cuts and tax increases must be addressed by year-end, Bernanke said that a combination of allowing all of the Bush tax cuts as well as payroll tax cuts to expire along with the sequestration issue will result in a "shock of 4.5% of GDP."
Bernake cited in his testimony the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate that if the full range of tax increases and spending cuts were allowed to take effect—the "fiscal cliff" scenario—"a shallow recession would occur early next year and about 1-1/4 million fewer jobs would be created in 2013."
These estimates, Bernanke said, "do not incorporate the additional negative effects likely to result from public uncertainty about how these matters will be resolved. As you recall, market volatility spiked and confidence fell last summer, in part as a result of the protracted debate about the necessary increase in the debt ceiling. Similar effects could ensue as the debt ceiling and other difficult fiscal issues come into clearer view toward the end of this year."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told Bernanke that he doubts whether Congress can agree on a fiscal policy before, or after, the presidential election in November. "Given the political realities, the Fed is the only game in town" that can do anything to bolster the economy, he said. "We've tried tax cuts; we've tried increased investments in infrastructure…and have run into opposition on all fronts," Schumer said. "The bottom line is we are not going to get the fiscal relief" from Congress that's needed. "I would urge you now more than ever to take the actions necessary" to bolster the economy, Schumer told Bernanke. "Get to work, Mr. Chairman."
Bernanke responded that the Fed "will act in a nonpartisan manner to do what it takes" for the economy.
The Fed chairman noted in his testimony that although the housing market has "shown improvement, the contribution of this sector to the recovery is less than has been typical of previous recoveries," adding that "the reduction in the unemployment rate seems likely to be frustratingly slow," with forecasts predicting that the unemployment rate will be at 7% or higher at the end of 2014.

MarqiboTreatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Update: Marqibo (vincristine sulfate liposome injection) Now FDA Approved - August 9, 2012
Talon Therapeutics Receives Notification of Three Month PDUFA Date Extension for Marqibo
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 7, 2012 -- Talon Therapeutics Inc. today announced that it has been informed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that its New Drug Application (NDA) seeking accelerated approval of Marqibo(R) has been given a three-month Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date extension to August 12, 2012.
On March 21, 2012, the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted 7 to 4, with 2 abstentions, that evidence from clinical studies supports a favorable benefit/risk assessment for use of Marqibo in the treatment of adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second or greater relapse or that has progressed following two or more lines of anti-leukemia therapy. The FDA has requested additional information unrelated to clinical trials regarding Marqibo. Talon has submitted responses to all outstanding requests. The FDA has informed Talon that in order to complete its review of the submitted information, the FDA has extended the Marqibo PDUFA date for 3 months.
"We will continue to work collaboratively with the FDA during this review process and will continue on-going label negotiations," stated Steven R. Deitcher MD, President, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Talon Therapeutics. "In addition, we will continue to conduct our Phase 3 confirmatory trial, which received Special Protocol Assessment agreement from the FDA, in front-line adult elderly ALL,"
Dr. Deitcher added.
About Marqibo (vincristine sulfate liposome injection)
Marqibo is a novel, targeted Optisome(TM) encapsulated formulation product candidate of the FDA-approved anticancer drug vincristine.
Talon is primarily developing Marqibo for the treatment of Ph- adult ALL. Vincristine, a microtubule inhibitor, is FDA-approved for ALL and is widely used as a single agent and in combination regimens for treatment for hematologic malignancies such as lymphomas and leukemias.
Talon's encapsulation formulation is designed to provide prolonged circulation of the drug in the blood and accumulation at the tumor site. These characteristics are intended to increase the dose of vincristine delivered in a safe and effective manner.
Talon has received orphan drug and fast track designations for Marqibo for the treatment of adult ALL from the FDA. Marqibo has also received orphan drug designation in adult ALL from the European Medicines Evaluation Agency.
In addition to the Phase 3 confirmatory study of Marqibo in front-line adult elderly ALL, Marqibo is being evaluated in an on-going Phase 3 trial in front-line adult elderly aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma conducted by the German High Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Study group, and in a Phase 1 trial in pediatric cancers, including ALL, being conducted by the National Cancer Institute. A phase 2 trial of Marqibo in front-line adult ALL to be conducted by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is expected to begin enrolling in the third quarter of 2012.
About Talon Therapeutics
Talon Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to seizing upon medical opportunities, efficiently and expertly leading product candidates through clinical development, and transferring value to patients, patient care providers, shareholders, corporate partners, and employees.
In addition to Marqibo, the Company has additional pipeline opportunities some of which, like Marqibo, improve delivery and enhance the therapeutic benefits of well characterized, proven chemotherapies and enable high potency dosing without increased toxicity.

Kyrgyzstan Flash Appeal 2010
On 10 June 2010, a major outbreak of violence between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks in southern Kyrgyzstan triggered a severe humanitarian crisis, affecting 1 140 200 people. In just three days, the bloodshed, looting and destruction spread from Osh – the epicentre of the conflict – to the city of Jalal-Abat and neighbouring districts, also home to a significant Uzbek minority.
Social tensions and political instability began to intensify in April, when violent demonstrations led to 84 deaths and the deposition of Kyrgyzstan's ruling party, followed by the establishment of an Interim Government. Approximately 375 000 people have fled the conflict zones and around 20 percent of the displaced population has sought refuge in neighbouring Uzbekistan. Tens of thousands are concentrated at the border awaiting passage. Women and children are among the most affected groups and comprise 80 percent of refugees.
As of 16 June, the official death toll reached 187, which is expected to rise significantly once a full assessment of the situation is possible. The ongoing crisis is exacerbating already critical levels of food and economic insecurity affecting the country. More than one in five people live on less than USD 1.25 per day. Damaging global and local factors (e.g. the financial crisis, food insecurity, and natural disasters) have significantly reduced the capacity of the country and its people to cope with internal and external shocks.
The Kyrgyzstan Flash Appeal 2010 was launched on 18 June and seeks over USD 71.1 million to address the emergency needs of more than one million people affected by the conflict, including 300 000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and up to 765 300 direct and indirect victims, such as those remaining in the affected areas and host communities. The Appeal will be revised in one month as the situation unfolds and further assessment results become available.
Challenges facing food security and agriculture
Agriculture is paramount to household food security and income generation in Kyrgyzstan, particularly among the extreme poor. The sector provides a livelihood to around 30 percent of the labour force, which continues to have the highest incidence of poverty. The ongoing displacement, looting of farming assets, destruction of infrastructure, disruption of markets and border closures threaten to increase food insecurity among this highly vulnerable group. In the most affected areas, many are forced to kill their livestock in order to feed their families.
Unattended crops are dying as displacement and insecurity have prevented farmers from irrigating their vegetables, orchards and other crops. If unable to harvest wheat in July, farmers will lack sufficient seed for the next planting season. Poor farmers were already struggling to recover from increased food costs and natural disasters, including the flood that hit southern Kyrgyzstan in early June. Without timely support, these families risk losing their primary means of sustenance and falling into longer-term hunger and destitution.
FAO's response
Within the Food Security and Agriculture Response Plan of the Kyrgyzstan Flash Appeal 2010, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 2.7 million to support the emergency needs of farming families most affected by the crisis.
With donor support, FAO aims to provide time-critical assistance to restore food production and agriculture-based livelihoods, through the provision of quality seeds, farming tools, fertilizer, livestock and technical support. FAO and the World Food Programme are co-leading the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster to ensure a coordinated and effective response, targeted to the most vulnerable families.

Location, Location, Location
One of the most important parts of a home's value is its location. After all, that's the one thing you can't change.
We all know that homes in big cities like New York or Los Angeles can cost several times what they would in the heartland, but there's more to the location question.
When valuing your home, it's important for us to consider your city's home market:
- Is the local economy growing?
- Are people moving there from other towns?
- Do homes sell quickly?
- Is the city expanding its borders?
- How livable is the city?
Your local neighborhood is just as important to your home's value:
- Is it an older neighborhood or a more recent development?
- Who lives there? Are most households families? Singles? Couples? Retirees?
- Is it convenient to main roads?
- What are the schools like?
- Is the neighborhood safe?
- Who provides the utilities in this area? How's the service?
- Are the streets in good repair? What's the traffic situation?
- How convenient is the neighborhood to shopping and entertainment?
What the Market Will Bear
In addition to all of these "soft" facts about your city and neighborhood, we can help you with hard numbers: purchase prices of similar homes in your neighborhood and similar neighborhoods.

James Hardie directors lose final appeal
SEVEN former James Hardie directors have lost an appeal to scrap penalties and disqualifications, ending a marathon legal battle over the board's 2001 decision to release misleading information about a compensation fund for asbestos victims.
But the fine for former company secretary and general counsel James Shafron was increased from $50,000 to $75,000 and a seven-year ban as a company director was kept because he held key actuarial information about the fund.
The other directors - Meredith Hellicar, Michael Brown, Michael Gillfillan, Martin Koffel, Dan O'Brien, Greg Terry and Peter Willcox - had five-year bans reduced to three years and fines cut from $30,000 to $25,000, and to $20,000 for two US-based directors.
(Former chief executive Peter Macdonald was not part of the appeal. In 2009, he was banned for 15 years and fined $350,000 for his role in forming the foundation and publicising it.)
But Justice Reginald Barrett said all company directors should make sure their opinions were noted.
''Value is often attached to collegiate conduct leading to consensual decision-making, with a chair saying, after discussion of a particular proposal, 'I think we are all agreed on that', intending thereby to indicate that the proposal has been approved by the votes of all present,'' he said. ''Such practices are dangerous unless supplemented by appropriate formality.''
The case centred on the board's February 2001 decision to approve a statement to the sharemarket that James Hardie would transfer two former asbestos-producing subsidiaries into a new ''Medical Research Compensation Foundation''. The statement said this was ''fully funded'' to meet all asbestos claims - it ended up $1.5 billion short.
Public sentiment turned on what was seen as corporate bastardry. James Hardie had moved to the Netherlands, leaving a shrinking pot for asbestos disease victims.
ASIC launched legal action in February 2007 and in May this year the High Court confirmed the original Supreme Court ruling. The directors of James Hardie Industries were found to have breached their duty to act with care and diligence by approving the company's release of a misleading statement to the market.

With Thought So, George Evelyn (aka EASE, aka Experiental Sample Expert, aka the man behind Nightmares On Wax) writes his chapter in the vast volume of music travelogues with a journey from his Leeds birthplace to the new family home in Ibiza.
Rather than ship his studio equipment by boat, EASE, his band mates and a sound engineer embarked on a road trip, allowing inspiration to come from their surroundings, from the idea of new beginnings and of travel itself. What they created en-route was then further developed at journey's end, with EASE adding distinctly laidback beats and studio gloss.
As a concept, Thought So is certainly interesting - but, like so many journeys, the idea outstrips the reality. The album often fails to fully engage the senses; there are a number of tracks which feel like so much sonic scenery. However, there are also a sizeable proportion that merit a return visit. For instance, the Ibiza heat comes through on opening track 'Da Feelin', a pleasant tune carried along on a rhythmic wave of handclaps and Balearic beats.
'195lbs' is more interesting, curling lazily like wisps of smoke from campfire kindling. A double whammy of fine reggae-led tracks is completed with 'Be There', a song whose deep grooves seem to have been smuggled from the Black Ark circa 1977. The tone shifts for 'Bringin It': here the sound is much crisper, and delivers something of a slap in the face after the narcotised haze that fogs the album's beginning. Brass cuts through harsh and bright, the rhythms have funk clarity and the vocal is higher pitched.
The record's heartbeat is provided by 'Calling'. It's an exercise in restraint, the tempo building slowly, the rhythms gradually ratcheted up as the percussion begins to thud hard and heavy, wave after wave, until the tide turns again and it all ebbs away. So far, so fine. But by 'Moretime' you begin to sense that we're retracing earlier ground.
Indeed, much of Thought So feels disappointingly déjà vu. What EASE might call his trademark beats could also be described as a dearth of imagination: shouldn't great travellers constantly be searching out new terrain? Still, even if it doesn't quite represent the grand tour Nightmares On Wax originally envisaged, the album at least provides an enjoyable detour or two.

BROADUS, Mont. (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock joined oil company officials on Friday to laud the state's first production carbon dioxide injection oil field as a big step forward.
Denbury Resources Inc. held a ribbon-cutting at its Bell Creek plant in southeastern Montana.
The company said it has invested more than $300 million in an effort to revive a 1960s era oil field. Carbon dioxide is piped 232 miles to the plant from coal operations in Wyoming, and pumped underground to force out more oil.
Bullock said the technology is good for the environment by capturing the greenhouse gas, and good for the economy by bringing more jobs and tax base to the state. He said the enhanced oil recovery can help keep energy affordable.
"This is cutting edge technology, this is innovative, and we are all here to celebrate these accomplishments," Bullock said.
Supporters say the technology helps reduce carbon emission by giving other industrial plants a place to store it.
The Bell Creek plant, like other Denbury operations elsewhere, takes an oil field about tapped out through conventional methods and extends the production life decades by applying pressurized carbon dioxide to the oil.
"I know it's kind of funny to say you are an oil company that is good for the environment, but we really are," said Denbury President and CEO Phil Rykhoek.
The company began, earlier this summer, pumping carbon dioxide into the existing oil cavity through old oil wells.
The Plano, Texas-based company bought the oil field in 2010, and ultimately expects to produce another 30 million barrels of oil out of it. It is now making plans for a much larger recovery operation on the Montana and North Dakota border.
Bullock and company officials said they hope to find ways the state can help train workers for high-paying jobs at the expanding facilities. The company said it has also promised to ensure it doesn't disrupt sage grouse recovery efforts in the region.
"We plan to spend a lot of money, and be in Montana a long time," Rykhoek said.

Serious Beer: American Brown Ale
Seeking out the best in malty, hoppy refreshment.
We've rated brown ales brewed in the United States before, as well as their brethren from the style's ancestral homeland, England. But we've far from exhausted the category, so we decided to try a few more from breweries around the country.
Brown ales are known for smooth, easy drinking; made for quaffing pint after pint at your local. We sample some in that traditional style from all around the States, but also tried a few brews where American ingenuity has been applied with plenty of impact and success.
Do you have a favorite brown ale?
Serious Beer Ratings
5/5 Mindblowing; a new favorite
4/5 Awesome, stock up on this
3/5 Around average for the style
2/5 There are probably better options
1/5 No, thanks, I'll have water.
Traditional Brown Ales
Surly Bender, Minnesota 5.1% ABV The nose is mild, with notes of toasted bread and Cola. Sweet cocoa malts blend nicely with orange citrus bitterness, and fade out slowly, leaving behind brown sugar and oats. The carbonation is low and the body is light, but Bender is smooth and balanced enough that you barely notice. This is the kind of brown ale you can drink all evening. 4.25/5
Bear Republic Pete's Brown (Tribute Ale), California 6.3% ABV Burnt brown sugar and sour cherries fill the aroma, and feature in the beginning of the flavor. A stiff bitterness from earthy, piney hops stands up to toasted malt and leaves behind a gentle bite in the finish. The mouthfeel is round despite low carbonation, and Pete's Brown is a pleasure to drink. 4/5
Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale, Florida 5.5% ABV Oatmeal and champagne aromas are a surprise, but the flavor is exactly as expected for a brown ale. This creamy, foamy beer delivers mild flavors filled with roasted nuts and caramel, which linger on the tongue until you're ready for your next sip. 3.5/5
Ithaca Nut Brown Ale, New York 5.4% ABV Creamy dark chocolate and coffee flavors fade to rich, roasted nuts and sweet caramel. Floral notes and lemon sourness suggest a zippy beer, but while it's well-balanced, the carbonation is mild and the body is thin. 3.25/5
Big Sky Brewing Moose Drool Brown Ale, Montana 5.1% ABV Roasted and burnt malt flavors combine with cocoa and dark brown bread to make up most of the character of this brew. The hops provide some dryness in the finish, but are otherwise undetectably mild. 3/5
Bar Harbor Brewing Thunder Hole Ale, Maine 4.8% ABV Thunder Hole is a spot in Acadia National Park where waves crash dramatically and eponymously. But this understated, easy-drinking beer doesn't match its name. The toasted nut flavors common in brown ales are joined by less-common raisins, which leave behind a slightly sour finish. 3/5
Gritty's Best Brown, Maine 5.1% ABV Toffee, caramel, and butterscotch provide a pleasantly sweet backbone for this beer, but a thin body and metallic notes knock it down a couple of notches for us. 2/5
Unusual Brown Ales
Cigar City Cubano-Style Espresso Brown Ale, Florida 5.5% ABV There's no joking around with the coffee here—this beer smells like you stuck your nose in a coffee grinder and tastes like you ordered a mocha. It's earthy and rich, and has a round, thick body with tiny bubbles that evoke crema. Vanilla, cocoa, toffee, and sweet cream reminded me more of baristas than bartenders. If you go to the bottle expecting that, it's superbly done. 4.25/5
Surly Coffee Bender, Minnesota 5.1% ABV
The cold-brewed coffee in this beer comes through in the aroma, carries through the finish, and blends nicely with nutty roasted malts and bittersweet chocolate. The bitterness of the coffee and hops are both toned down, and the carbonation is low, making this a smooth and gentle brew. 4/5
Cigar City Bolita Double Nut Brown, Florida 9.0% ABV The aroma is intense, with notes of hazelnut, dark chocolate, bread dough, and caramel. The intense and powerful flavor lingers in a long finish; sweet toffee, coconut, macadamia, and coffee swirl around with a mild herbal bitterness and fruity tartness. The mouthfeel is creamy, and some alcohol is apparent. This beer succeeds by being pretty good at everything. 4/5
Cigar City Improv Oatmeal Rye India-Style Brown Ale, Florida, 9.0% ABV Intense grapefruit aromas steal the show, elbowing out most of the nutty malts. Citrus notes also star in the flavor, with a strong supporting act by sour and spicy rye. Nuts, caramel, and toffee also make cameos, and even at 9% ABV, we were ready for an encore. 4/5
Disclosure: Cigar City, Bear Republic, Surly, and Big Sky beers were provided as samples for review.

Watching: Dr. Roizen's Interview with Larry King
Dr. Michael F. Roizen Interviews Larry King [0:30]
Larry King talks about his own experience with heart disease, introduces the panel, and discusses risk factors
Transcript: Dr. Michael F. Roizen Interviews Larry King
Q: I'm sitting here with probably the most famous interviewer of all time, but someone who didn't take good care of himself.
A: Did not.
Q: Now, you knew when you had your heart attack, or the big one as you call it I guess, that you were at risk. You didn't do healthy things.
A: You know doc, I have never understood that in myself. I paid no attention. For example, I smoked three packs a day. When commercials would come on television to stop smoking, I'd change them right away. There was a famous commercial Yul Brynner did in which he said-- he's dead now; he had already died. He taped it prior to his death to play after his death, saying, "Please don't smoke." I would turn that off right away.
I ate-- I never exercised. I ate anything I wanted to eat. I just-- Larry King was indestructible. He would never get a heart attack. Nothing like that would ever happen to him. When I had little pains in the chest, I'd think about it, I'd go to the doctor, and then they would go away. So I never thought it would happen to me.
Q: The doctors would go away or the pain?
A: Well, doctors can do only so much. They would say, "You ought to take care of yourself." I had one doctor smoking tell me I ought to take care of myself.
But what happened was in February of 1987 I just-- this is interesting-- I just finished my TV show. I was doing both TV and radio then. And C. Everett Koop was the guest, Surgeon General of the United States. We finished the interview and he says to me, "Are you still smoking?" And I said, "Yeah." He says, "You don't look good." I said, "What do you mean?" He says, "I don't like the way you look. Go to see a doctor."
Then I go to do my radio show. And David Halberstam was the guest, the famous writer whose brother, the late Michael Halberstam, was a cardiac surgeon. And he says to me, "Are you okay? You don't look good." So now I hear two 'you don't look good's.
I go home that night. It's about two in the morning, and I get this terrible pain in the shoulder.
Q: It was in your right shoulder.
A: Didn't have a chest pain at all. Just right shoulder going down the arm. I called the doctor and he said, "Well, you ought to get over to the emergency room." And I went to George Washington University--
Q: In Washington, DC?
A: That's where I lived. I lived in Virginia. Went right across the bridge, smoking all the way to the hospital. My producer at the time drove me over.
Q: And you were having pain at the time?
A: In the shoulder. Pain in the shoulder. We pull into the hospital. As we pull into the emergency entrance, which is the same emergency entrance where President Reagan had been taken-- I was put into the same cubicle. And just as I get out of the car, the pain is gone. So I turn back to my producer and I said, "The pain is gone. I'll be right out. I'll just go in. I'll be right out." They chased her car away because she couldn't remain sitting in front of the emergency room.
So I go in, and a guy comes over to me and says-- this is strange-- "Are you a heart patient?" I'm just standing there. I said, "No." He says, "You don't look good." And I had a grey pallor.
Q: That was three in one night.
A: Three. So they put me in the emergency room and then this cardiologist came down, Dr. Katz. And I'll never forget him, because he said, "I'll tell you, I know you're not having the pain now but I think it's going to come back. Just from the way you look, I think it's going to come back. I'll sit here with you. You agree to stay with me, I'll stay with you." So I said, "Okay."
And we're talking and nothing is happening and nothing is happening. I almost wanted to light a cigarette but they were in my jacket. And--
Q: You hadn't thrown the packs out yet?
A: Not yet. And the pain came back. And as the pain came back, they started doing things. Blood, they took blood. EKGs. Whatever they were doing. And then they all run over to this board and they look up at the readings from the test and suddenly a blue light goes off and they all come running toward me-- nurses, doctors. Running toward me. And I said, "Something tells me this is not a pulled muscle." And they gave me TPA-- at that time it was experimental-- which stopped the pain. And the pain then was intense. It was the worst. I had never had pain like that. I really thought I was going to die.
And Dr. Katz said to me, "Mr. King, you're having a heart attack." And I said, "Am I going to die?" And he said, "Good question. That's a good question. I can tell you're in the questioning business." And then typical doctor, he says, "We don't know. The lucky thing is you're having it right now, right here. And the second lucky thing is it's a right-side heart attack. That is the usual heart attacks where people recover. Some people have a right-side heart attack and never go to the hospital, and they pick it up later in a test that they had the-- they didn't even know they had a heart attack. So the odds on that part look good, but in the next 24 hours we'll tell."
And then subsequently I needed heart surgery. That was some months later. But I changed that day for some reason. My daughter drove me home. I had cigarettes in my pocket from going over to the hospital. I threw them into the Potomac, and I've never had a cigarette since. And I don't know how I stopped. In other words, I didn't say, "Boy I'm never going to smoke again." I just never smoked again.
I had a psychiatrist friend tell me that I was scared straight. That I was so scared that that fright-- might happen to me now-- and I'm so triggered to not be in that hospital again that I won't light up.
Q: How do we get people to do things in advance? Men still deny it. I mean, denial is more than the river in Egypt, as it's said. How do we get men-- I mean, because you're just typical.
A: All you can do is all you can do. The best part of what I do is when people come over to me and say, "Boy I heard you talk about it and I stopped smoking." Or, "I went and had this checkup," or "I did the test," or "I went to a cardiologist." That's the best joy. As Bob Dole and I were walking through the Republican convention in '92 and a guy came up and said, "You know, Senator Dole, I saw you on Larry King's show and you talked about prostate cancer and you talked about getting this test, this blood test. I went and had it and they found it and they got it done in time. I want to thank you for my life." Well he started to cry, because that's the best joy, if you can prevent someone.
Why won't people change? I don't think we accept death. I don't think we accept the fact that-- in other words, you're going to die, but I'm not going to die. Phil is going to die but Joe ain't gonna die. I think we believe we're indestructible and we're immortal. There's no other reason. I don't understand it. Why would you do-- for example, why would an intelligent reasonable person smoke? Why would you smoke? It's insane.
Q: Well, I don't know. I didn't do it, right?
A: It feels good.
Q: And we take the immediate joy of that versus the long-term pain of it.
A: Yeah. But what I did do was start a cardiac foundation. And that started through sitting around with a bunch of guys and one said to me, "What did your surgery cost?" And I said I didn't know. And subsequently found out I think it was $45,000 dollars, $40,000 dollars. I said, what about people who fall between the cracks who can't afford? So we started this foundation, the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, in 1988, '89, after the surgery. And what we do is we hold galas every year and we raise money and help people.
Q: Help people who fall between the cracks?
A: Yeah, who are non-insured, part-time workers. This country is a disgrace in its healthcare system. We are the worst in that we have so many people not insured. And the funny thing about bypass surgery is bypass surgery is 90% of the time elective. In other words, they told me, "Mr. King, you're not doing well on this test. We think you should have bypass surgery." I said, "Am I going to get another heart attack?" "Don't know, but it doesn't look good, but it's your choice."
Now if I had had a heart attack that needed bypass-- sometimes they do bypass surgery right at heart attack-- then no questions would be asked. I would be brought into the hospital and they would do it, and they'd worry about payment later. But if it's elective, and most of the time it's elective, so many people aren't insured.
So we do so many procedures. We flew a young kid in from Afghanistan. The Pentagon flew him in and we treated him. We do all kinds of procedures. We even do medications. We try to help.
Q: Now what did you do-- let's go and talk about what you did right for your health today. What are you doing now that's reformed that's going to keep all these people from needing it?
A: Well I don't smoke. I exercise. I used to exercise every day and as I got a little older that became harder. I do it every other day. But I do walk a lot.
Q: Now did you walk today?
A: I walked about two miles. I walk every day. I'm up very early. I've got two young boys; I play with them. I do a lot of walking. And I watch what I eat. I'm pretty careful about what I eat. I stay at about 160 pounds.
Q: But you moved-- I mean, your diet as described in the book was not a great diet for heart attacks. It was a great diet if you're the Cleveland Clinic; we need your business. But it wasn't a great diet for you.
A: We work with the Cleveland Clinic, our foundation.
Q: I know.
A: Here was a Larry King dinner. You want a Larry King dinner? Good evening, sir. I'll have the Caesar's Salad with extra--
Q: Dressing.
A: Dressing. And yeah, that butter for the-- oh the bread. The butter with the bread. And then put the cigarette out, put a more little butter with the bread, a Caesar's Salad, light another cigarette, light another cigarette. No drink. I didn't drink.
Okay, come over. I'm going to have lamb chops and extra thick on the fat. I like those fatty lamb chops. Double-baked potato with cheese. And dessert, I think I'll have lemon meringue pie and coffee with cream. And keep smoking throughout the dinner.
Now I don't know how I would have existed today. Can't smoke in restaurants. For example, you can't smoke on airplanes, right? If I were flying commercial today and smoking and going from New York to California, I'd have made five stops. Or I'd have not believed the sign. You know there's a sign, do not smoke in the bathroom, a siren will go off. I would say to myself, "Delta put up a sign but they don't have a siren. Delta won't go for the money for the siren." I'd smoke in the bathroom. In other words, I would defy it.
Q: How do we-- you said you don't know, but it's really a problem. Fifty percent of our total healthcare costs go to lifestyle-preventable diseases like heart disease. How do we get to people before?
A: I think all we can do is all we can. I think you just keep doing what you're doing and trying to drum it home.
Q: Does the foundation reach out to try and prevent it beforehand too?
A: No, we don't do that much. We're not an educational arm. There's so many different heart firms. What we do is help people after.
Q: And when the people-- now Medicare. You said our system is a disaster. Medicare doesn't pay very well for prevention counseling and they don't pay very well for rehabilitation.
A: See, that's two of the stupidest things. That's part of stupidity. Why would you not pay for preventive counseling, which would cost you much less than what it costs to treat the heart attack? I mean, it would be logical to me. It would cost you $20 dollars as opposed to $200 dollars. Why not invest the $20 dollars?
Q: Well when you get the politicians on and every--
A: They all agree with you. Oh, I've got a bill. I'm looking into that.
Q: But it doesn't happen.
A: It doesn't happen because they go back and they forget and other things take priority. It's really sad because our health system, we think-- we've conned ourselves. "America has the best health system in the world." We may have terrific doctors and wonderful hospitals. We do not have the best health system.
Q: Because we don't do the prevention.
A: We don't do the prevention.
Q: And we have a whole bunch of people slip through?
A: And a whole bunch of people that can't afford it and therefore don't get-- for example, how do you reach people in the inner city and tell them what they're eating is wrong? How do you change? It is extremely hard and it's going to take some-- Harry Truman proposed national health insurance in 1948. 1948. Norman Thomas proposed it in 1932. He had 20 planks(?). He was a socialist party candidate. He had 20 planks in his campaign. 19 are now law, except health insurance.
Q: It's amazing.
A: For some reason, either the AMA has sold a bill of goods or insurance or somebody has sold a bill of goods as to why we don't have, why everybody in America doesn't get healthcare.
Q: Now, one of the things that I'm told about denial is patients say, "If I have a heart attack, I'm going to be like Larry King. I'm going to get perfect treatment afterwards and it won't matter. So I shouldn't have to worry about it beforehand." What do you say about that?
A: That's dumb too. First of all, you might die. It is the number one killer in America.
Q: A third of the people die?
A: Some people do die. A third of people die. So I think that's bad odds. I wouldn't roll that dice. I think there's no other way to put it: it's stupid. It's just stupid.
Q: Thank you very much.
A: Thank you.
