The shares of any such corporation may continue to be for the same amount each as they were before the conversion, and the directors may continue to be directors of the corporation until others are elected or appointed in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter. When the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has given to such corporation a certificate that the provisions of this subchapter have been complied with, such corporation and all its stockholders, officers, and employees shall have the same powers and privileges, and shall be subject to the same duties, liabilities, and regulations, in all respects, as shall have been prescribed by this subchapter for corporations originally organized thereunder.

A handout photo released on November 15, 2010 by Hermitage Capital Management and taken on December 29, 2006 shows Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in Moscow. A Western investment fund whose attorney died in a Moscow jail published documents Monday alleging to show prison officials authorised the use of rubber batons on the day of his death.
The case of Sergei Magnitsky -- a whistle-blowing lawyer who alleged mass embezzlement by the tax police -- has been highlighted by the West as one of the most flagrant abuses of human rights in Russia in recent years.

Play puts Russian justice system in dock over lawyer's death

Russia says will retaliate if Britain has blacklisted officials
Russia to demand explanations over reports about UK's Magnitsky list
I've reported on gangsters in Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. I've spent time mulling the human landscapes in Sicily and in the United States.
In those countries, if credible, outside investigators produce an exhaustive report alleging the theft of nearly $1 billion in government money and the murders of five people, the governments would respond in two ways.
One: Say, "Thank you very much" and find an honest prosecutor and give the political and financial backing to take the cases to trial.
Two: Say, "Thank you very much" and then quietly do nothing.
Russia is taking a radically new strategy.
Here's what's going on:
Over the course of the last two years, investigators with Hermitage Capital have compiled highly detailed reports on the alleged theft of $800 million in Russian tax money and the cover-up murders of five people, including Hermitage lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. The most recent report drills down to the detail of showing receipts for vacations that alleged gang leaders and Russian government accomplices took together in Cyprus and Dubai.
Hermitage recently released powerful videos that are now moving minds across the world. Posted on YouTube, the four-episode segment is called Russian Untouchables.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZB3YoAvEro – (Russian Untouchables. Episode 1: Artem Kuznetsov)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TWhlPqVddc – (Russian Untouchables. Episode 2: Pavel Karpov)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7yBOEPYJTc – (Russian Untouchables. Episode 3. Olga Stepanova.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL9b5LP4Ubc – Russian Untouchables. Episode 4: The Magnitsky Files. Organized Crime Inside the Russian Government.
At last count, about 20 parliaments, starting with the United States Congress and the British Parliament, are drawing up legislation to ban visas and freeze assets of suspects in the Magnitsky case.
Facing this international PR disaster, what is Russia doing?
It is painting the attack on about 44 suspected Russian criminals and corrupt government officials as an attack on Russia's 144 million people.
It has assigned a deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, to attack the U.S. Congress full time on the issue. In almost daily comments to the press, he has expressed the Russian government's "outrage" at the "Magnitsky Act" under consideration in the U.S. Congress and has promised "a symmetrical response" if legislation is approved. Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the Duma's International Affairs Committee has told Interfax: "We will certainly react to this and the American Administration will feel the consequences."
Last trip to Monaco? Dmitry Klyuyev, black suit on right, attends meeting in Monaco in early July of parlamentarians from 56 nations in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The delegates voted overwhelmingly for a resolution calling on parliaments to draw up visa bans on suspects in the Magnitsky case. According to Hermitage Capital, Klyuyev led the criminal ring that stole Russian taxpayer money and had Sergei Magnitsky killed in jail.
It sent a delegation that included Dmitry Klyuyev, alleged ring leader of the criminal gang, to a meeting two weeks ago in Monaco where legislators from 56 Western and Eurasian nations debated adopting visa bans and asset freezes on the Russian gang members and government accomplices.
It sent to the United States Senate a delegation led by a Russian senator, Vitaly Malkin. A billionaire, Malkin has been denied visas to Canada and was cited by the Canadian government in court proceedings as "a member of a group engaging in organized or transnational crime."
Moscow apparently believes the best defense is a strong offense.
But in Europe and the United States, legislators are finding the Russian offensive, well, offensive.
At the end of the Monaco meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation, 90 percent of the 320 parliamentarians present voted to call "on national parliaments to take action to impose visa sanctions and freezes on persons responsible for the false arrest, torture denial of medical care and death of Sergei Magnitsky."
In Washington, Russia's Senator Malkin alleged that Magnitsky was a drunk, out of shape, who probably fatally injured himself in jail. In response, Natalia Magnitskaya, mother of the dead lawyer, wrote an open letter to Malkin: "I believe that an attempt to slander the good name of my son posthumously looks shameful and not deserving of the honorable title of people's representative."
On Wednesday, a U.S. Senate committee voted unanimously in favor of the Magnitsky Act – the third American congressional committee to do so in six weeks. Passage of the bill is expected in coming months.
Clearly, the Kremlin is losing big time in the international court of opinion.
But it may also be losing a more important audience.
Russia's state-run television constantly hammers on the "anti-Russia" nature of the American bill. In a sign of the times, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Washington bureau chief for the last seven years for RTVi, a private Russian channel, was summarily fired for writing in support of the Magnitsky bill.
Kara-Murza wrote himself out of job by writing in Spotlight on Russia, his weekly blog: "Russia's national interests have been defined in many ways, but the ability of crooks and murderers to vacation and keep their money abroad has, until now, never been one of them."
In addition to painting visa bans for a few millionaire criminal suspects as an attack on all Russians, the Kremlin also frames the campaign as an American attack on Russia.
This ignores the fine point that the leader of the Magnitsky campaign, William Browder, is actually a British citizen. But, more importantly the Kremlin's complaint overlooks the fact that dozens of other parliaments – from the Swedish Riksdag to Italian Parlamento to the French Assemblee Nationale – are preparing to pass similar legislation.
With flights from Moscow to New York running at full capacity this summer, some Russians seem aware of a different reality. According to the U.S. State Department, the 90 percent of American visa applications by Russians are now being granted. That is the second highest acceptance rate of the 12 former Soviet Republics outside the European Union. Only Kazakhstan has a higher acceptance rate – 92 percent.
The new, liberalized US-Russia visa law, which won final approval on Wednesday, will allow Russian tourists multiple entry visas, with the right to stay in the United States for up to six months for each visit.
Indeed, despite the anti-American barrage on state television, many Russians see what the real issue is in the Magnitsky case: impunity for corruption.
In an open, democratic system, elected leaders would not touch the Magnitsky case with a three meter pole.
The Levada Center, a respected independent polling group, surveyed Russians about the visa ban laws. About half, 46 percent, said they did not know about the case, or did not have a strong opinion.
Of those who would give their opinion to a total stranger, 18 percent said they opposed such laws.
The rest, 36 percent, said they supported foreign visa bans. That is, twice as many in favor as opposed.
It sounds like a lot of Russians are saying: the Emperor Has No Clothes.
So as many Russians see it, Magnitsky legislation is not an attack on 144 million Russians.
It is on attack on 44 Russians who should be put on trial.

The question is still begging for an answer. It is well known that Putin indulges the vices of his former KGB compatriots. Theft of this magnitude can only be done with sanction and protection. Did Putin get a piece? That is the answer to why they are defended. Will these guys have to be done in before the pressure mounts and the vertical is exposed?
The US idiots should start first by imposing sanctions on themselves due to the BLATANT human rights violations in the USA.
Russia is mulling sanctions against the US criminals anyways.
Because the US is the BIGGEST PRISON COUNTRY in the World - the US got 5% of the World population and 25% of the World prisoners - there are 2.3 MILLION prisoners in the US. China comes distant second with 1.6 MILLION and. The US police state leads the World with its incarceration rate It has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. The median among all nations is about 125, roughly a sixth of the American rate.
Because the US is at par with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran in executing prisoners.
Because the US TORTURES and RAPES prisoners.
Because US leads in children abuse in the industrialized world. Over 6 MILLION children are abused and molested every year. More than five children die every day as a result of child abuse. Approximately 80% of children that die from abuse are under the age of 4.
Well, at least USA puts their criminals in jail where they belong. Maybe Russia should try that.
What else to expect form a child molesting police state the US plutocracy is?
The US have no moral standing to talk about human rights.
ha! ha! ha! "Russia is mulling sanctions against the US criminals anyways" You are correct mr. kpxkxoxllxolxolx. Russia has no teeth and can only "mull" with its gums:)
LOL. Unlike the BROKE & SINKING US cleptocracy Russia have both teeth and money.
But thats why the powerless western losers are so angry about Putin - he drives them bonkers by using the western tricks, like what happen when he introduced the US "Foreign Agents Registration Act" to kick the teeth out of the US-paid NGO's in Russia.
Brilliant move by Putin, heh, heh, heh :D
russia is a mafia state and plastic putin is its don - for the moment.
Hundreds of thousands of Russians take to the streets in the winter to denounce the mafia king Putin. Not all Russians are moronic thugs. Not all Russians are stupid, many are highly educated and intelligent, unlike the mental retardation exhibited here by our fellow poster. Russians are not fooled by the excuses of the kremlin that Mr. Magnitsky harmed himself. For centuries they have witnessed a government that hemorrhages fabrication and lies. Now the good citizens of Russia will witness events unfold that will surely put on notice the thugs who have raped and pillaged a country for eons. The Magnitsky act will have a "snowball" effect and will put all corruption under a microscope including the European and North American Oligarchs under scrutiny.
The Pro-Putin demonstrations were far more popular in Russia up to a point the organizers had to pay fines for exceeding the allowed numbers,
And "hundreds of thousands" number come from a drunk diaspora imagination - too much horilka causes the small diaspora brains to see things in multiples, HA HA HA, gasp, HO HO HO :D
Moscow is a city of 12 MILLION. The largest ever gathering happen in protest against the "rigged parliamentary elections" due to rumors spread by the US-paid NGOs barely gather 20 THOUSANDS of deluded losers, what is minuscule percentage compared even to the Moscow population.
No wonder the western losers are so angry and whiny - they lost any influence in Russia and Putin laughs on the idiots for great satisfaction of the civilized humanity :D

- Wonderful resturant.LovedthewinwDined on 9/26/2014I highly recommend this resturant. Great food, wonderful wine (plus the wine is free the week of your birthday). They have the most friendly and wonderful wait staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very professional staffKboneDined on 9/26/2014The hostess & staff were very accommodating, all of our party was not there at the reservation time but they were in sat the half that were there & as our party grew in size by 2 extras they added them in without complaint. We did wait an exceptionally long time for our dinner to arrive, however we didn't complain, the management also realized this & give us a few extra desserts to share. One complaint I have is that our waitress didn't ask us if we wanted alcohol drink refills. WiFi- it would be nice if it was available somewhere, we couldn't get it in the bar, or the hallway out by the restrooms-on either level or at the table in the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sublime salmonMnmkrDined on 9/23/2014The special of the evening was salmon. The preparation and taste were OUTSTANDING. I rarely order anything other than beef; this opened my eyes to all the menu selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good choiceBrookloDined on 9/12/2014We were looking for a table for eight at a specific time; this was the only restaurant that could accommodate us. However, we were delightfully surprised to find the menu wide ranging and a wine list that would satisfy untrained and sophisticated palates. The service was perfect. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone looking for an evening of fine food, wine and great service with a smile.Special Features:
- hgnatsDined on 9/10/2014A bit pricey for quantity of food, but great quality. Most of menu is a la carte so no salads etc that accompany entree. The dessert we had was stupendous (Tria's signatue dessert)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful eveningJulesDined on 9/6/2014As usual everything was so good! Everything. We were out for our anniversary and Tria sure knows how to make it special. Champagne and dessert topped off a terrific meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent spotTLWizDined on 9/5/2014This is a great place tucked away in North Oaks! Great ambiance, service & food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A reliable evening of diningEssen50Dined on 9/3/2014We enjoy dining at Tria whether indoors or out on the patio. This evening we enjoyed a dinner with friends. Our meals were very good except that one companion ordered his meat medium rare and it was well done. He did send it back expecting to wait a considerable time. The server was exceptionally accommodating - she was not the one who brought the food out. Fortunately it was a relatively quiet evening and the replacement plate with medium rare was back in minutes. The rest of the evening was at Tria's usual high standard.Special Features:
- Chose the barRobbieHDined on 8/29/2014I love tria and when we got there we decided to be less formal and grab a spot in the bar. It left confusion about our reservation however we had a great evening. Great food. Great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/29/2014We had a great family night out and our food was exceptional! Server was wonderful, answered all of our questions and made GREAT recommendations. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Keep coming backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014I love a dinner at Tria with the English countryside ambiance & the excellent service? That being said, there is always one or two menu items that leave me lacking. This time is it came as a surprise as I've had the crab cakes and the steak before and they were excellent. This time the steak was a bit tough and lacking flavor and the crab cakes were overly creamy and sweet. The culinary hits were both the walley and scallops, along with a lovely lobster Mac & cheese. The risotto was cool & mussels were small, but that's getting picky. I always leave Tria thinking I might return for another special occasion dinner. But wouldn't it be great if they could find a consistency that would make a night at Tria an absolute must?Special Features:
- Turn it down a notch - pleasedjljDined on 8/27/2014August Party on the Patio- great food, terrific service- band TOO loud- many patrons moved and other asked to be moved, while band was great, they were simply overwhelming in volume.Special Features:
- Perfect Birthday DinnerTedsBigSisterDined on 8/26/2014We loved everything about this place. It was a quiet Tues. eve., perfect for a romantic birthday celebration. The scallop appetizer was delicious, followed by equally fine salads, beef filet & tournedos, sides, & my surprise birthday dessert. We received a very good bottle of wine for free - I turned 60 so we enjoyed a $60 bottle. Our server was excellent and friendly, courses arriving in perfect time. Now we can't wait to return!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Wonderful evening. Good fun and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Entrees pretty poorminnjohnDined on 8/16/2014Good service, Good cocktails, coffee, appetizer, one of the best onion soups ever (least salt ever), BUT awful entrees -- worst walleye fish ever in MN, mushy and stale (here in the land of walleyes, in mid-summer). Worst part was extremely high salt in veggies -- took many hours for the salty taste to dissipate, would have ruined the meal, even without the poor tasting walleye! Wife's lamb chops were served rare, despite asking for medium cook.
- Disappointed Big TimepeggybDined on 8/15/2014Ordered calamari appetizer and bacon wrapped prawns for entrée. Prawns were 'specialty' according to the menu. Calamari had absolutely no flavor and prawns were served burned (bacon was almost unrecognizable). I requested a new entrée, and about 10 minutes later was told that they couldn't be served any differently. I chose a different entrée of scallops and although cooked as expected, the risotto accompaniment was very salty. Because of the delay, the 3 other people with me had finished their meals by the time I was served my second option. There was no consideration by server or mgmt. to apologize and comp any items...very surprised. I won't return. Food and service was very disappointing. Nice outdoor patio!Special Features:
- Luv2dineoutDined on 8/9/2014Our first visit was well worth the drive. Looking forward to a return for Sunday brunch as well as special occasion dinners.Special Features:
- Elegant patioMaryLeeDined on 8/4/2014Delicious food in an elegant, summery setting on the patio. The service is excellent and the many signature dishes will not disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite of oursSnowyOwlDined on 8/2/2014We ate venison and filet mignon. Both were excellent. The floor staff were engaging and fun. We've noticed in earlier visits that the kitchen seems understaffed, but this past Saturday the food came out in a timely way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Anniversary SpotLA11jDined on 8/1/2014The service was great and I loved my scallops for my Anniversary dinner. I'd recommend this to others looking for a special occasion dinner.Special Features:
- Hmmm...lunchVIPDined on 7/30/2014I have been to Tria on multiple occasions and am always amazed that they have such unfriendly host staff. It's a poor introduction to an otherwise nice experience. Good ambiance and a nice space, food is ok; it would be great if they'd switch up the menu a bit more. But, that said, the chicken pot pie is always a winner and the bar drinks are quite well done.
- Great food & Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/30/2014What a wonderful dining experience. The waiter for our table was especially personable and professional. Thanks for everything!Special Features:

- Excellent as alwaysMonkeyBillDined on 7/27/2014Celebrated a family birthday here as we have for 5+ years. There is no better restaurant in the Twin Cities as far as I'm concerned. Ray, our server, was excellent as he always is. He heard us mention my in laws were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and brought them a special dessert. In addition, he interacted with my teenage kids as if he was a family member. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant for any event or celebration you might have.Special Features:
- A very enjoyable eveningspeceventDined on 7/26/2014We were celebrating our anniversary a few days late. The ambience and food and service made it a very fine evening. Thank you all and especially out very pregnant waitress who was so sweet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Tria!patriceDined on 7/25/2014We held our wedding reception dinner here five years ago and have spent our anniversary dinner here every year since. The food continues to be consistently good but the excellent service sets the place apart! We plan to continue to make Tria our anniversary celebration go-to!Special Features:
- Not so muchNewFoodieDined on 7/22/2014I read mixed online reviews but went with an open mind. Service was great. It was our anniversary, which we noted when we made the reservation. Staff greeted us with Happy Anniversary. We rec'd a free glass of champagne and a free dessert. Everyone was very nice. The food, however, was not. Had beef bites as an app, after waitress stirred us away from the crab cakes, which she didn't care for. There were several chewy, fatty pieces of steak among some genuinely nice pieces, in a peppercorn brandy cream sauce that was way too salty. My husband and I each had pasta - I had the Fettuccini Alfredo and he had the lobster spaghetti. The pasta was "greasy," for lack of a better word. Alfredo flavor was almost non-existent - needed salt.
- Swing and a missLightekDined on 7/19/2014The menu looks so inviting and I was excited about trying this spot. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The dining area has little ambiance or comfort. The bar area is extremely noisy and and drafty. Though it looked inviting, we were advised against using the outdoor patio because the nearby pond makes it "buggy" in the evening. We ended up sitting in the bar area. The service was extremely slow, inattentive and nearly non existent. Our waiter had to be flagged down any time we needed him and we felt like we were bothering him. They ran out of the Wellington and the escargot was smothered in cheese and overtly chewy. The med rare venison was well done shoe leather and they charge extra for blu cheese olives in the already $9 martini.
- Upscale dining: area needs some!nonamesformeVIPDined on 7/19/2014Tria has a clubby atmosphere and serves a range of American dining classics. The walleye and salmon are always good. Salad portions have shrunk over the years, but the flavors are very good. The patio is great--it is a true patio, not a piece of sidewalk! The bar has booths and is cozy, and often crowded, in the cold months. Specials (wine and champagne) for birthdays and anniversaries . Friendly to all ages, but the prices and location tend to draw an older (affluent retirement) crowd.Special Features:
- Special DinnerOurSpotDined on 7/14/2014We have enjoyed Tria for several years. It's our favorite place to go for our anniversary. We like to go there when we just want a really nice dinner . The staff always makes you feel welcome. Over all, a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Bit of Downtown in the SuburbsConverseBearDined on 7/13/2014We visited on a Sunday around 11:30 am. They serve brunch until 4 so we worried it would be packed, but it wasn't (they love if you make reservations). The servers were helpful and friendly and sat us in an area that met our needs (you can ask to sit in a certain section). I had chicken and waffles, the others had creme brûlée French toast and we split an order of Parmesan leek hashbrowns. The food was quite tasty, but the prices are a bit high (especially for certain items such as their salads)--without ordering drinks, it cost $50 for 3 of us so plan on spending at least that. I'd consider going back for special occasions or if we received another gift card.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchKarenVIPDined on 7/13/2014I would not necessarily call it a brunch as the Sunday menu is so complete. Free Mimosa/or champagne as well as beignet's are wonderful. The servers continue to impress even on a Sunday morning!Special Features:
- Love this spot!Foodiex2Dined on 7/10/2014Thank you, we were told of this magical spot by some friends and will keep going back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friends from near and farJohnDined on 7/10/2014We had nine for dinner. We like Tria because it has really great food but is quiet enough to allow conversation. An excellent eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business DinnergoodslowfoodDined on 7/8/2014We have been to Tria several times and recently took a customer there for dinner. The waiter we had was very knowledgeable but very slow. During a previous visit we had this same waiter and our dinner took over 3 hours. We arrived early and brought a beverage from the bar to our table. When our guests arrived we were seated and waited over 15 minutes for our waiter to bring our guests a drink. We had appetizers that were delicious but then waited about 45 minutes for our waiter to take our dinner order. This pace continued throughout our dinner. We may have tried dessert but felt it would take too long.Special Features:
- Never disappoints!WFandJJDined on 7/8/2014Tria is one of our very favorite places to eat .. well, it is probably our Very favorite! Yummy food, served on plates looking very artistic and special, superb service with knowledgeable and fun servers, everyone there warm and friendly. Variations on the menu from time to time makes each visit interesting. And for a special celebration, it was absolutely the best, even with a blizzard going on last April! We will return ... and we continually recommend it to others.Special Features:
- Excellent GameBabafejuDined on 7/7/2014I love that they have game. Pretty much everything on the menu is great. Stellar waiter service. Not so good on the Hostess side...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

GSK Official Discusses Pharma Partnering
Using partnerships and external collaboration to advance product innovation was discussed by Sandy Macrae, vice-president of scientific licensing of worldwide business development at GlaxoSmithKline at a keynote session, "Innovation to Commercialization," at Interphex.
Macrae emphasized the importance of external collaboration to the pharmaceutical industry as whole and to GSK specifically. Forty percent of GSK's pipeline is derived from licensing, acquisition, or other types of partnering, he said, revealing how the pharma industry has become open to external collaborations.
With these partnerships, it is critical to "manage the marriage," said Macrae to create a mutually beneficial relationship, emphasizing that "one size does not fit all" when working with partners of different sizes and resources.
David King, former CEO of BioRexis Pharmaceuticals, who also spoke at the keynote session, echoed that point from the perspective of a small biotechnology company. Pfizer acquired BioRexis in 2007.
King said that he began building his relationship with Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies early in the company's development and multiple years before the time the company was eventually acquired.
Both executives emphasized relationship-building and building an working environment in which both company's cultures and processes can be assimilated into a successful collaboration.
What would you identify as critical success factors for external collaboration, including in outsourcing? Leave a comment below.

They first encountered the British in the Gurkha War of 1814-1816, which ended not just in stalemate, but with an abiding sense of mutual respect and admiration between the two sides.
The Peace Treaty that ended the war enabled Gurkhas to serve under contract in the East India Company's army, for whom they first fought in the Pindaree War of 1817. Thus began Britain's relationship with Nepal, our 'oldest ally' in Asia.
Gurkhas fought on the British side in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and at the end of the war, Gurkhas became a part of the British Indian Army. In recognition of their service at Delhi, the 2nd Gurkha Rifles was awarded the Queen's Truncheon, a unique emblem which is believed to have magical powers. To this day, new recruits to The Royal Gurkha Rifles swear allegiance to the Crown and the Regiment on the Truncheon
From 1857 until 1947, the Gurkha regiments saw service in Burma, Afghanistan, the North-East and North-West Frontiers of India, Malta (The Russo-Turkish War 1877-78), Cyprus, Malaya, China (the Boxer rebellion of 1900), Tibet, and in various theatres of the First and Second World Wars. They have continued to serve in every major conflict since.
British officials in the 19th century declared the Gurkhas as a 'Martial Race', a term describing people thought to be 'naturally warlike and aggressive in battle' possessing qualities of courage, loyalty, self sufficiency, physical strength, resilience, orderliness, the ability to work hard for long periods of time, fighting tenacity and military strength.'
If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha.
Former Chief of staff of the Indian Army, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw
Today, Gurkhas are marked by their graciousness, loyalty and very great courage. As gentle and shy in daily life as they are fearless and tenacious in battle, they are a dignified people and ideal soldiers.
Gurkhas are famed for carrying a kukri. It is the national weapon of Nepal, but it is also used as a work tool in the Hills. Each Gurkha carries two kurkis, one for every day use and one for ceremonial purposes. The kurkri is the stuff of legends; the most common being the myth that whenever you draw the kukri from its sheath you must also draw blood. The kukri is accompanied by two tiny knives one for skinning and slicing, the other for sharpening the main blade.
Their famous war cry, "Ayo Gorkhali" translates as "The Gurkhas are here", their motto, 'Kathar hunnu bhanda marnu ramro' means, 'It is better to die than to be a coward.'

Kentucky Folklife Program
Lilli Tichinin conducting an equipment tutorial with John Long
during an Oral History Workshop with Board Members of the
African American Museum of the Bowling Green Area.
From June to August of 2013 I worked as the intern for the Kentucky Folklife Program (KFP) at Western Kentucky University. The Kentucky Folklife Program moved from the Kentucky Historical Society to become part of Western Kentucky University last year with the continued mission to document, present and conserve the diverse traditional culture and heritage of the Commonwealth.
My duties as the KFP intern were varied, allowing me to gain experience in many aspects of public folklore work. I assisted in the organization and set-up of the new office, created a processing system for future fieldwork materials, maintained and increased the KFP web presence by updating the facebook and website and creating a KFP blog, and was able to assist with programming, partnerships, and workshops. Being part of the Kentucky Folklife Program during the first year of transition allowed me to see first-hand how a public folklore program can function in a university setting and to take part in the process of creating a structure, plan, programming, and public presence for the program.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
Blog Post
December 7, 2009
Just before Thanksgiving, I was the opening speaker at the fall symposium of the AABPA. My presentation on "The Economic and Budget Outlook" drew on our August report The Budget and Economic Outlook: An Update, our June report The Long-Term Budget Outlook, and the most recent Treasury budget data for fiscal year 2009. (CBO is currently in the process of updating its economic forecast and budget projections for release in the next Budget and Economic Outlook in late January.)
My comments emphasized three points:
- Like most other analysts, we anticipate a relatively slow and tentative economic recovery. The unemployment rate is likely to rise above its current reading of 10 percent in coming months; the percentage of unemployed people who have experienced a permanent layoff is now around 55 percent, well above the peak values in previous recessions; and the percentage of unemployed people who are finding jobs has plummeted. In August, we expected that creating new jobs to replace the millions lost in this recession would take a number of years, and that the unemployment rate would not be back at its sustainable long-run level until 2014. Unfortunately, much more of the pain of unemployment from this recession lies ahead of us than behind us.
- As GDP strengthens and spending related to the economic stimulus package abates, the federal budget deficit will shrink from the nearly 10 percent of GDP recorded in fiscal year 2009. In August, CBO projected that, under current law, the deficit would remain close to 10 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2010 but would fall below 4 percent of GDP in fiscal year 2012.
- Over the medium term and longer term, the federal fiscal situation remains grim. As I have said on several occasions: Current budget policy as perceived by many people (in particular, the personal income tax rates now in effect) would generate much larger deficits than current law as captured in CBO's baseline. In addition, federal debt is already very large relative to GDP by historical standards. Moreover, the aging of the population and rising health care spending will continue to push up federal spending.

Switching Energy Suppliers
Energy industry regulator Ofgem says the majority of gas and electricity customers have never switched providers, and our research shows that Brits collectively throw away £3.5billion a year by not switching to a better deal.
With energy prices frequently being raised, it makes sense to make sure you're on the cheapest possible deal.
Why should you switch utility suppliers?
If you have separate providers for your gas and electricity and pay standard prices for each, you will almost certainly save by switching as you're likely to be paying the most for your energy.
Switching either your gas or electricity so that you get both from the same supplier will qualify you for dual fuel discount. Choose to manage your account online and pay by Direct Debit and you could benefit from even further discounts.
Switch energy supplier in 5 simple steps
If you simply stuck with the provider you 'inherited' from the previous occupants of your home when you moved in, you may not be on the best deal for you. The tariff might have been suitable for them and you m ay be getting a dual fuel discount, but there may be money to be saved by switching.
A lot of households moved either their gas or electricity to a new supplier when the energy industry was privatised, so that they had the same provider for both. While these people will benefit from a dual fuel discount, they are likely to be paying standard prices and could save by switching to a more competitive tariff.
How do I switch my gas and electricity?
If you want to save money by switching your utilities suppliers, it couldn't be easier. Here's a run-down of everything you'll need to get switching.
Firstly, you'll need to provide your address so that we can pinpoint your supply region. You'll also need to tell us the name of your current supplier or suppliers, your current payment method and the name of the tariff or tariffs you're currently on. If you're unsure of your tariff names, contact your supplier and ask or check your last bill.
It's important to provide details of how you pay your bills because customers on prepayment meters can only apply for a prepayment tariff, whereas those on a billing meter can apply for any billing tariff.
To make sure you get the best possible deal based on your current energy usage, we'll need to know your annual kWh consumption. In some instances this can be more accurate than basing the comparison on how much you pay for your energy, as you may be it may not be a true reflection of your consumption if your account is in credit or debit.
If you don't know your annual kWh usage, contact your current supplier or suppliers and ask for it. If you've not yet been with the suppliers for a full year and can't provide your annual kWh usage, an estimate can be made based on your payments to the account - but won't be as accurate.
Alternatively, an estimate can be given based on whether you are classed as a low, medium or high energy consumer. According to Ofgem, a "low user" consumes 1,650 kWh of electricity and 10,000 kWh of gas a year; a "medium user" consumes 3,300 kWh of electricity and 16,500 kWh of gas; and a "high user" consumes 4,950 kWh of electricity and 28,000 kWh of gas.
A low user is generally a single person, or young couple, living in a one-bedroom flat whereas a medium user is more likely to be a couple or small family with a semi-detached house. A high user is typically a larger family living in a detached home with three or more bedrooms.
The government plans to install 'smart-meters' in every UK home by 2020, which will relay consumption information to the suppliers in real-time.
If you have a billing meter, you'll be given the option of how you would like to pay your bills. Remember that paying by Direct Debit usually qualifies you for a discount and ensures you never miss a payment.
You'll also be given the option of a variable or fixed rate tariff. With variable tariffs, your bills can go up or down depending on energy prices. In August 2011, all of the Big Six energy companies (npower, Scottish Power, EDF, British Gas, SSE and E.On) raised their prices and those on a variable tariff would have noticed the increase.
On the other hand, the Big Six all announced price cuts in January 2012, and so those on a variable tariff would have seen their bills drop slightly.
If you're on a fixed rate tariff, your price per unit for gas and electricity is locked down for a set period. This can be a good way to defend yourself against price hikes, but it could leave you paying more if there were significant price cuts.
You may have the option of a green energy tariff, designed to lower carbon emissions and be friendlier to the environment. Green energy comes from renewable sources which don't rely on fossil fuels. They include things like solar energy, wind energy, biomass and hydroelectricity.
What happens next?
Once you've decided which tariff will save you money, you'll need to either fill in the application online or speak to an advisor at MoneySupermarket.com, who will ask you questions and fill in the application for you, based on your answers. Be aware that not all providers allow applications by phone.
Your application is then sent to the new provider within 24 hours to start the switching process. If you should change your mind after requesting the switch, you'll have a 'cooling off' period or around 12 to 14 days in which to stop it going through.
The cooling off period will vary from one provider to another, and with some it can be less than seven days, so make sure to ask if it isn't apparent during the application.
If you don't cancel the switch, you'll receive the new contract and terms and conditions within 10 days of the application. Some providers will also send out an email confirmation of the switch.
Once the cooling off period has ended, the new provider will contact your old provider to start the switching process, which takes between four and eight weeks.
If you pay by Direct Debit, you'll need to leave this alone for time being. Your final meter reading will be taken and a final bill issued based on that reading. If your account is in debit, your old provider will ask for payment in full. If your account is in credit you'll get the money paid back to you.
Your new supplier will contact you to confirm the start date of the new supply and details of when the first payment will be required.
Why switch with MoneySupermarket?
MoneySupermarket's comparison and switching service is free to use and independent and we strive to get the best possible deals to save your household money.
Unlike some energy comparison sites, we compare the prices of all the big energy suppliers, so you can get a comprehensive view of the market.
Frequently asked questions
Will a plumber be involved in the switch?
No, when you switch your supplier there won't be any need for anyone to install any new cables or pipes - in fact there will be no physical changes to your property at all. You won't even be disconnected at any point during the switch-over.
Should I cancel my old Direct Debit?
You shouldn't cancel your old Direct Debit straight after going through the switching application. You need to wait until after your last meter reading has been taken and you've received your final bill from the old supplier.
Can I change from a pre-payment meter to billing meter?
You may find some suppliers insist that you meet a set of criteria before moving you from a prepayment meter to a billing meter - such as proving that you have held a current account for a certain amount of time.
Contact the supplier directly and ask for their requirements are and be aware that there may be a charge for switching from one type of meter to the other.
What if I change my mind about switching?
If you complete an application to switch and then change your mind about switching suppliers, for whatever reason, you can cancel the switch during the cooling off period, which can be as long as two weeks after applying. Check with the new supplier how long their cooling off period is.
How does MoneySupermarket make money on switches?
MoneySupermarket receives a commission from the new supplier for every switch, allowing us to offer the switching service to you for free. The commission we receive does not affect our comparison service or the price you pay however - your comparison will always offer the cheapest option for you.
Can everyone save by switching?
You may actually already be getting the cheapest electricity and gas prices and so you won't benefit from switching energy suppliers. Use our energy price comparison to find out.
How often can I switch energy suppliers?
As long as you're not in a fixed rate tariff for a set amount of time, you can switch as frequently as you like.
Can I get my gas and electricity from one supplier?
Yes - in fact doing so will earn you a duel fuel discount.
How do I arrange Monthly Direct Debit payments with the new supplier?
You'll get a welcome pack from your new supplier including useful information and contact details. It will also contain forms for setting up payment via Direct Debit.
What is Economy 7?
Economy 7 is a tariff which features gas prices and electricity prices which drop over a seven hour period overnight. You can switch to an Economy 7 tariff but it may involve a change of meter and a charge for the new meter.
What should I do if I have a complaint?
First and foremost, you should take your complaint up with the supplier. If your complaint is not satisfactorily dealt with, you should speak to Consumer Focus - the independent gas and electricity watchdog. They can be contacted on 0207 799 7900 or found online at www.consumerfocus.org.uk.
Can I trust MoneySupermarket with my personal details?
Yes, our site is protected with VeriSign security so any data you share with us when you compare gas and electricity prices or when you are switching energy suppliers is handled and stored securely.
Moneysupermarket.com is the data controller in relation to your personal data. Our registered address is Moneysupermarket.com House, St David's Park, Ewloe, Nr Chester, CH5 3UZ. If you have any queries relating to our use of your personal data or any other data protection issues, please contact our data protection officer at email@example.com.
What about my bank details?
Your bank details will be encrypted before they are sent to the new supplier. If the deal you switch to has any cash-back promotion, we will securely store your bank details so that we can pay the cash-back to you, after which they will be deleted.
How does our service rating work?
Our service ratings are compiled from: individual provider information about price, availability, product range and investment in vulnerable customers. The service ratings also take into account the individual fuel mixes of each supplier in relation to CO2 emissions and energy generated from renewable sources.
Finally, the ratings take into account figures taken from reports provided by Consumer Focus on billing and transfer complaints from December 2007 to February 2008.
How does the calculator work?
Our calculator estimates your current energy usage based on your annual kWh usage, bill amount or Low/Medium/High user data you input.
It takes (or calculates) your current kWh usage by comparing the data you supply to the unit costs associated with your current tariff. Next, this is multiplied against the Kwh unit costs of other tariffs provided by other suppliers in your area.
Any additional savings offered by the supplier based on payment types are also taken into account. The estimated annual savings figure is calculated by subtracting the cost of the other tariffs with alternative suppliers from your current costs.
How do you calculate my annual savings?
See above.
Why show a negative saving?
If the calculator shows a negative saving, this means you're already on the cheapest possible tariff for your usage and area. You will not save money by switching in this instance.
Why do you show my existing provider?
Your current utilities provider may actually have a tariff which would save you money. If the results show your existing provider then they offer a cheaper tariff based on the information you supplied.
How do I switch my gas and electricity?
First, navigate to this page and input your postcode. You'll then be asked to input your current gas and electricity supply details, as well as how you prefer to pay for your energy.
We then search the market and return a table of results with the cheapest at the top. Details about additional savings and green energy will also be displayed.
Finally, when you've decided which supplier to switch to, click apply and you'll be taken to an application form to complete in order to start the switching process.
If you'd prefer to speak to someone and switch over the phone, call us on 0845 345 1296. Lines are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm.
How long will it take to switch suppliers?
The switching process takes between four and six weeks from the date you apply.
Will my supply be interrupted?
There will be no interruption to your supply and no physical work has to be done to your home to make the switch.
If I switch, do I need to contact my current energy supplier?
No, your new supplier will take care of that and will contact you directly to get a final meter reading for your old supplier.
How can I find out who my current suppliers are?
If you have a recent bill or letter, your old supplier's name will be at the top. If you don't have a letter or bill, contact the meter number helpline on 0870 608 1524 to find your gas supplier.
To find your electricity supplier click here for a list of numbers dedicated to your region.
Can I switch if I am in debt with my current supplier?
Your current supplier can decline the switch if you owe them money. You should clear any existing debts with them before switching. If you've always paid by Direct Debit they'll just take the amount you owe automatically.
Will special needs services be provided by my new energy supplier?
Customers with special needs will continue to be catered for after switching. All suppliers have to comply with industry standards which dictate how they must treat elderly, disabled, ill or otherwise vulnerable customers.
What should I do if I discover a gas leak or a problem with my electricity after switching?
Emergency procedures are the same no matter who supplies your gas and electricity. When you switch you'll get a 24-hour emergency helpline number for reporting these things.
National Grid is responsible for dealing with gas emergencies. To report a problem with your gas supply, call 0800 111 999.
Who is Consumer Focus?
Consumer Focus is the independent watchdog for energy consumers. They have been protecting the interests of gas and electricity customers since 2000 and are completely independent of the industry and the regulator Ofgem.
I have a pre-payment meter, can I save money too?
You may be able to find a better deal, but you may also have to pay for a new meter to be installed, which cost upwards of £100 - which could negate any savings you might make by switching to a cheaper tariff.
You may also have to undergo a credit check to assess your eligibility for the new tariff before you are accepted.
What is the difference between fixed and capped price energy?
A fixed price tariff means the cost per unit will not change throughout the course of your contract. A capped price tariff won't ever exceed the price you bought at but it can get cheaper if the supplier decide to pass on wholesale price drops.
How do you define high, medium and low usage?
We use the rankings published by Consumer Focus, which are as follows:
User Avg. Electricity Consumption* (Kwh) Approximate Annual Spend*
Low User 1650 £251
Medium User 3300 £440
High User 4950 £629
User Avg. Gas Consumption* (Kwh) Approximate Annual Spend*
Low User 10000 £438
Medium User 20500 £786
High User 28000 £1035
Dual Fuel
User Avg. Fuel Consumption (Kwh) Approximate Annual Spend*
Low User 11650 £682
Medium User 23800 £1216
High User 32950 £1652
We derive your annual average spend by factoring an average kWh usage against your current tariff.
What do I need to switch energy suppliers online?
You'll need to have details about your current address, energy supplier(s) and payment method. You'll also need to know the name of the tariff you're currently on. If you don't know it, get in touch with your supplier. If you don't know who your current supplier is, see 'How can I find out who my current supplier is?'
Finally, to get the most accurate comparison we'll need to know your annual kWh usage. You can get this figure from your current supplier. If you've not yet been with your supplier for a year we can estimate it based on your monthly spend, but it won't be as accurate.

Dolman hangs up the sheepskin
his 32 years of service in education, the Blaine school
board approved Dr. Gordon Dolmans 128-word letter
of resignation as superintendent at a November 25 school
board meeting.
Dolman will continue as superintendent until June 30, 2003 when his resignation becomes effective.
I can truly say its been a pleasure to serve the Blaine school district, he said. It truly has.
Dolman worked for the district for 18 years, five as principal and 13 as superintendent.
Hes been very easy to work with, said Blaine middle school teacher and union representative Janet Mumma. Im sad to see him go.
Dolmans resignation was the second to last order on the board meeting agenda. When the board approached the item, board chair Jane Woods asked if they could just skip it.
No, said Dolman. Its time.
In the coming years I look forward to watching the Blaine school district continue to thrive and grow as an organization that promotes excellence and education while planning for the future, he wrote in his letter.
He said he looks forward to a simpler life.
I like to fish, he said. And my wife retired last year.
Dolman will also continue teaching education classes at Western Washington University as he has done for three years as adjunct professor.
The Blaine school district has hired John Fotheringham of Northwest Leadership Association, a headhunter group, to find a new superintendent to take over on July 1, 2003.
Fotheringham, who helped fill superintendent vacancies in Lynden last year, said the district will determine the new superintendent by late March...

What research has been done to inspect whether there are connections between the spiritual and the physical?
Starting from the belief that spiritual does in fact exist, has there been any research done to discover what sort of provable effects and connections exist between the physical and/or mental aspects of human life? If so, what do they present? Are their any TED talks directed towards this?
I assume those interested would be those who study and are interested in the overlap of various studies such has cultural, medical, religious, and psychological, and their practical relationships. Potential experts this question is geared to are those in the field such as neuroscientists, psychologists, endocrinologist, physicians, religious workers, etc...
There of course is a starting bias that the spiritual does in fact exist, and in definition is different that the psychological, emotional, and physical.
Also related, what experiences have you had that proof or disprove the overlap of the spiritual with human life?

daniel hehir 20+Jan 18 2013: Hi again Tom,
Looks like nobody's around ... has the debate fizzled out ? .... Are you still there?
Here is one for anybody out there that might be following along...
The "spirit" is reflected in all of what we might call " human activity" All that mankind has created and designed. Put together or taken apart. Given color and form. Shaped and built.
The spiritual element of man " awakens" each morning from sleep. The spirit, one can actually say, "re-incarnates" each morning. It is ex-carnated at night only to reincarnate each morning. This is perfect evidence of the spiritual nature of man working in the physical. You may call it something else. You may say ... well ..... we don't really understand what sleep is yet.... but , we are working on it ....
Sleep is the excarnation of the spirit and soul bodies from the physical and life bodies.

DETROIT, MI (WTVB) - Chrysler is experiencing some technical difficulties. Computer problems have been blamed for the recent delays in the launch of two vehicles from Chrysler Group LLC and the automaker says they are taking steps to improve quality. Computer software is used in several areas of vehicles today from the engine to the entertainment system. Chrysler officials say the problems forced delays in getting the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the RAM Heavy Duty Pickup to customers.
Chrysler is not the only automaker experiencing software issues. Lincoln Motor Company's new MKZ was hampered by computer and quality problems which led to a delay of nearly fourmonths before dealers got the vehicle.

Airbus To Compress A350XWB Flight-test Schedule
Airbus appears to have exhausted all its A350XWB development "buffer," leaving designers and engineers with little margin for error as the company prepares the first A350-900 for its first flight and the model's delivery to launch customer Qatar Airways in mid-2013.
The manufacturer will have to compress the original 15-month flight-test program planned for the A350-900 into a 12-month exercise to accommodate an extension of the program's detailed design phase. The flight-test program will involve five airplanes-all but one of which will fly in 2012, according to the company. Plans to deliver the first A350-900 in the middle of 2013 remain unchanged, despite the fact that the company now has scheduled final assembly to start several months later than last planned.
Additional design work, involving aircraft sizing, the wing-root joint, the structure of the fuselage electrical network and fuselage damage tolerance, has depleted three months' worth of the "buffer" built into the schedule, according to the program update issued by the company on April 19. However, the timing of systems, cabin and powerplant development hasn't changed, according to Airbus. A spokesman told AIN that the company had built in a "very, very generous" 15-month period for flight tests, and that there is no overall delay to the A350XWB program, even though there have been some changes to the time frame for some tests.

Cable Company Makes Hurricane Sandy Victims Without Power Call for Their Refunds
You gotta love cable companies. And by "gotta love" I mean "gotta loathe with every fiber of your being." Prices constantly go up despite the fact that you can never, EVER find anything good to watch. Time Warner started charging you or making you buy the very same modem you've owned all of these years. And now Cablevision gets the award for most heartless Scroogey cable company of the year. Why? Cablevision is refusing to automatically grant refunds to those who lost their power during Hurricane Sandy -- like Time Warner at least did. No, instead, they want those who are without cable (and probably their homes as well) to CALL them and ask for a refund. So let's see what this would look like for the average Sandy victim.
Cablevision says customers need to call and specifically request a refund with the exact dates they were without service. So, let's see, if you're a Sandy victim who is still without power, that means finding a power source, charging up that cellphone, and then calling Cablevision and waiting on hold for probably 15 or 20 minutes, depleting your power, and then debating with a customer service rep for another 15 or 20 minutes (because you know this won't go smoothly -- it never does) while your power depletes more, and doing all of this in either the freezing cold of your home or the relative noise and non-privacy of a shelter or your in-laws' home (if you're lucky).
Nice, Cablevision. As if Sandy victims don't have enough to worry about without filling out those FEMA forms, battling with their insurance companies, pumping out their storm-ravaged homes while wearing masks, finding a hot meal for the day, and trying to stay warm. Now they have to worry about getting a refund from you. You know very well what you're doing -- hoping those Sandy victims will be too busy, distracted, and beaten down to call and wait on hold forever.
At least one couple isn't taking this lying down, though. A Long Island couple is seeking class action status to sue Cablevision for their lack of automatic credits. You've got to hear the cable company's laughable defense: They actually claim if they did auto credits, it would "shortchange" customers. WHAT??!! You mean shortchange them of hassle, Cablevision?
There is nothing worse than corporations taking advantage of their loyal paying customers in times of devastation and stress. Unfortunately, Cablevision is not the only company I know who is doing this. But they are surely one of the worst.
What do you think of Cablevision's decision?

Time Warner did the same thing in my area (in NC) when a tornado came through in 2011. Destroyed a lot of the neighborhood but those that werent destroyed didn't have electricity for over a week and cable was out for over 3 weeks. Still had to contact them for the refund. I knew I'd have to though because that is actually their standard procedure, even in a short term outage (say 3 hrs).

the4muttsNovember 16, 2012 at 3:34 PMIf my cable company did that, I would just refuse to pay, cancel my service at MY earliest convenience, and let them take me to collections. I have no credit, no job, and am not married. What are they going to do? Take me to court where I embarass the hell out of them and reveal them for the bastards they are, while costing them lawyer money, and probably a counter-suit? Nah. Fuck them.

ClaudiaLynnNovember 17, 2012 at 11:21 AMI loved in Florida and that's how it works. There are a lot of customers and ads far add the cable company knows, your electricity is on. It is your responsibility to call when the power goes back up and get your refund. That is how they spook work..cable, satellite, electricity, sewer. Besides you want to call to make sure they credit you the correct time. A I said happens in Florida all the time.
