Ahmed Gomaa, Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi told the country's top judges Monday that he did not infringe on their authority when he seized near absolute powers, setting the stage for a prolonged showdown on the eve of mass protests planned by both supporters and opponents of the Islamist leader.
The uncompromising stance came during a meeting between Morsi and members of the Supreme Judiciary Council in a bid to resolve a four-day crisis that has plunged the country into a new round of turmoil with clashes between the two sides that have left one protester dead and hundreds wounded.
The judiciary, the main target of Morsi's edicts, also has pushed back, calling the decrees a power grab and an "assault" on the branch's independence. Judges and prosecutors stayed away from many courts in Cairo and other cities on Sunday and Monday.
A spokesman said Morsi told the judges that he acted within his right as the nation's sole source of legislation when he issued decrees putting himself above judicial oversight. The president also extended the same immunity to two bodies dominated by his Islamist allies — a panel drafting a new constitution and parliament's mostly toothless upper chamber.
The spokesman, Yasser Ali, also told reporters that Morsi assured the judges that the decrees did not in any way "infringe" on the judiciary.
Ali's comments signaled Morsi's resolve not to back down or compromise on the constitutional amendments he announced last week, raising the likelihood of more violence as both sides planned competing rallies in Cairo on Tuesday.
Opposition activists have denounced Morsi's decrees as a blatant power grab, and refused to enter a dialogue with the presidency before the edicts are rescinded. The president has vigorously defended the new powers, saying they are a necessary temporary measure to implement badly needed reforms and protect Egypt's transition to democracy after last year's ouster of his predecessor Hosni Mubarak.
Morsi says her wants to retain the new powers until the new constitution is adopted in a nationwide referendum and parliamentary elections are held, a time line that stretches to the middle of next year.
Many members of the judiciary were appointed under Mubarak, drawing allegations, even by some of Morsi's critics, that they are trying to perpetuate the regime's corrupt practices. But opponents are angry that the decrees leave Morsi without any check on his power.
Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who became Egypt's first freely elected president in June, was quoted by Ali as telling his prime minister and security chiefs earlier Monday that his decrees were designed to "end the transitional period as soon as possible."
His comments appeared to run contrary to a prediction made earlier Monday by Justice Minister Ahmed Mekki that a resolution of the crisis was imminent. Mekki, who has been mediating between the judiciary and the presidency to try to defuse the crisis, did not give any details.
The dispute is the latest crisis to roil the Arab world's most populous nation, which has faced mass protests, a rise in crime and economic woes since the initial euphoria following the popular uprising that ousted Mubarak after nearly 30 years of autocratic rule.
Morsi's decrees were motivated in part by a court ruling in June that dissolved the parliament's more powerful lower chamber known as the People's Assembly, which was dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and ultraconservative Islamists.
The verdict meant that legislative authority first fell in the hands of the then-ruling military, but Morsi grabbed it in August after he ordered the retirement of the army's two top generals.

The Panther men's soccer team earned its eighth shutout of the season, picking up a 1-0 NESCAC victory over #14 Amherst (5-1-3, 1-1-3) on Saturday afternoon. The loss is the first of the year for the Jeffs, while #19 Middlebury moves to 8-1 overall, 4-1 in NESCAC play.
Amherst had the better of the play in the first half, holding a 10-1 shots advantage. The Jeffs had a nice chance in the 36th minute, but Spencer Noon's header was just wide after a cross from Thebe Tsatimpe. Middlebury junior Tyler Macnee (Williston, Vt.) answered shortly after, but his shot was turned away. The Jeffs' best chance to score in the contest came with under a minute to play in the first half. Ian Rothkopf blasted a shot from 10 yards outside the box, but Middlebury junior keeper Tim Cahill (S. Glastonbury, Conn.) made a spectacular save to deny him and keep the game scoreless.
Middlebury turned up the pressure in the second half, with Macnee just missing from 25 yards out at the 74:30 mark. The Panthers kept coming seconds later, when service from senior Jake Edwards (Easton, Conn.) resulted in a scrum that was eventually cleared away by the Jeffs.
The game's only goal came at 78:01, when junior Martin Drolet (Lachine, Que.) scored his third of the season. Senior Carson Cornbrooks (Williston, Vt.) took the original shot that was saved, as Drolet was there to finish the rebound for the game-winner.
The Jeffs threatened late, but Cahill stopped Julien Aoyama from inside the box with five minutes remaining to preserve the shutout.
Amherst held a 13-7 shots advantage in the game, with an 8-1 lead in corner kicks. Cahill made five saves to earn the shutout, while Lennard Kovacs earned a pair of stops for Amherst.
• Men's soccer record: 8-1
• Up next: 10/13 @ Castleton, 10/16 @ Conn. - 2:00

Times-Tribune Staff Report
A Corbin man was arrested Saturday after he reportedly fired a gun twice at a neighbor's property.
Junior Cornett, 67, was arrested just before midnight after Deputy Tyler Morris and Kentucky State Police troopers responded to a complaint along Cotton Road.
The first 911 call indicated a fight was occurring; however, while officers were responding they were told shots had been fired.
When officers arrived at Cotton Road, they found Cornett, who reportedly smelled strongly of alcohol, standing on the road cursing and yelling.
An investigation indicated Cornett had allegedly fired a shot into the victim's front yard. He then identified himself as a police officer and walked onto the victim's property. The victim tried to disarm Cornett, who fired a second shot past the victim's front door.
Root said the victim's wife and 13-year-old daughter were inside the home.
Cornett was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, impersonating a peace officer, alcohol intoxication in a public place and second-degree disorderly conduct. He was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Officers assisting Morris at the scene included KSP troopers Brandon Creekmore, Jason McCowan, Chris Roberts and Chris Saunders.

Medical Practice Costs Creep Higher
Evenson says there isn't much on that list that is controllable. Demand for RNs and LPNs is the main reason clinical staff salaries keep increasing, says Evenson. "It's an area where demand is dictating growth."
Medical practices are under enormous cost pressure. They have little control over fixed costs, such as building and occupancy rates, they're subject to market pressures that dictate higher labor costs because of nursing and expertise shortages, and their doctors are looking at possible double-digit reductions in reimbursement rates because of the looming fiscal cliff lawmakers are debating now.
"It's commendable that medical practices are so diligently monitoring their costs," says Susan Turney, MD, MS, FACP, FACMPE, president and chief executive officer of MGMA-ACMPE.
"It is almost impossible, however to make informed business decisions and craft long term strategies when a disastrous cut to Medicare physician payments looms on the horizon. When costs continue to increase and practice professionals are forced to conservatively plan for their future, it hinders their ability to innovate and rapidly evolve as our industry calls for transformation."
An undercurrent to all of this is how much practices have to invest in IT.

Bailed-Out Banks Lobby Hard to Stave off Limits
Target trading rules, consumer protections
WASHINGTON - The meeting with Bank of America executives came less than a year after American taxpayers rescued the institution with a $45 billion emergency bailout. The subject was derivatives, the complex securities that helped trigger Wall Street's crisis and drag the country to the edge of an economic abyss.
The guest of honor: Barney Frank.
The bankers wanted to be sure that Representative Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, would not attempt to clamp down excessively on derivatives trading. Frank said he left the session pledging to keep in mind their "legitimate'' concerns.
"It was not lobbying politically,'' Frank said of the meeting last summer in New York, which was held at his request. "This is lobbying intellectually.''
Whatever it is called, it is part of a huge corporate effort in Washington to stave off or shape sweeping regulatory reforms, led by many of the very same financial institutions that received unprecedented sums of taxpayer money last year to keep them from failing.
Even as the banks say they are reforming themselves to avoid excessive financial risks, they have mounted a pitched battle against new regulations they fear could stifle competition and growth. They are spending millions of dollars, hiring former congressional and White House staffers to make their case, and warning, in the words of the US Chamber of Commerce, that the sweeping financial regulation Frank's committee is producing "will do more harm than good.''
Already this year, bank lobbyists have helped kill legislation that would have enabled judges to reduce mortgage payments of families that have declared bankruptcy. Most recently, the banks have tried to scuttle President Obama's proposal for a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which is designed to prevent them from using deceptive practices to sell mortgages to people who can't afford them. They also are seeking to shape or weaken rules on commodities trading, executive compensation, and consumer credit cards.
The Wall Street meltdown put the new president and Washington in a mood to put new checks on a capitalist system that many worried had teetered out of control. The banks' lobbying effort has angered the president, who said in a radio address this month that "lobbyists for big Wall Street banks are hard at work trying to stop reforms that would hold them accountable, and they want to keep things just the way they are.''
Consumer advocates said the bank lobbyists are nearly as powerful as they were before the financial meltdown and the authorization of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which set aside $700 billion in taxpayers' money to bail out the financial industry. The government committed hundreds of billions more to other rescues, including $112 billion for insurance giant AIG.
"They still retain an enormous amount of influence,'' said Travis Plunkett, who lobbies for the Consumer Federation of America and said he has seen firsthand the influence of large banks. "What is surprising to me is that some members of Congress are letting them get away with flimsy arguments. They are using many of the same arguments that they were using before the financial crisis'' - such as saying that new legislation would inhibit competition and consumer choice.
The business community argues that Washington is in danger of going too far. One of the major opponents of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency has been the American Bankers Association, which represents both large and small banks.
"It needlessly rips apart all the existing regulatory agencies . . . and creates a new agency with powers to mandate loans and services that go well beyond consumer protection,'' the association warned its members, urging them to contact the members of Congress. An ABA spokesman said the group's lobbyist would not agree to an interview and declined to respond to Obama's charge that bank lobbyists are trying to stop reforms.
Amid the uproar over the taxpayer bailout, the Treasury Department earlier this year imposed a ban on recipients lobbying the executive branch. But the ban doesn't apply to congressional lobbying.
Disclosure requirements are so inadequate it is impossible to know whether recipients have spent actual federal bailout dollars to lobby, said Representative Carolyn Maloney, Democrat of New York, who has sponsored legislation that would require firms to account for their spending of bailout dollars.
Executives at the institutions said they are not using bailout dollars directly for lobbying.
What is certain is that most of the 19 largest financial institutions that have received bailout money are spending heavily to fight or influence the regulations.
Bank of America, which has yet to repay any of the bailout money it received from the federal government, spent $1.5 million lobbying in the first half of the year. Citigroup, which has yet to repay any of its $25 billion in bailout money, spent $3.1 million on lobbying in the first half. Wells Fargo, which also received $25 billion it has yet to repay, spent $1.4 million on lobbying in the first half, up from $1.2 million in the same period last year. Morgan Stanley, which received $10 billion and has since repaid it, spent $1.7 million, up from $1.6 million.
By comparison, the Consumer Federation of America, one of the main pro-regulatory groups, reported spending $50,000 lobbying in the first half of the year.
AIG agreed to close its once-robust Washington lobbying operation last year. Still, the company reported $2.2 million in first half expenditures, which the company's disclosure form said was used to field questions from lawmakers "and to correct misinformation'' about its business. A spokesman for AIG, Mike Herr, emphasized that none of the money was spent lobbying on federal legislation and that the dollar figure included state-level lobbying and dues in industry associations.
A few big financial institutions, such as American Express, have cut their lobbying budgets or, such as SunTrust, did not report lobbying Congress at all. Mike McCoy, a spokesman for SunTrust, which has received $3.5 billion from the government, said the bank shared the industry's concerns on the proposed reforms but did not traditionally employ lobbyists.
In many cases, the banks have hired former members of Congress, former top congressional aides, and former White House officials to do their bidding. Records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan research group, show that former aides to Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, Democrat of South Dakota, and former Vice President Al Gore all lobby on financial issues.
Citigroup hired Nicholas Calio, who was former President Bush's liaison to Congress, as its chief lobbyist. Citigroup said in its most recent lobbying report, filed in July, that Calio met with House and Senate staffers to discuss legislation on derivatives. But lobbying reports don't require a company to indicate whom a lobbyist meets with, or what position is taken on legislation.
But one lobbying effort may have backfired. Goldman Sachs, the investment banking firm, recently hired a former top aide on Frank's committee to be its chief Washington lobbyist. The former aide, Michael Paese, recently passed the one-year moratorium on lobbying by former congressional employees, leaving him free to speak with Frank or staffers. A company spokesman, Samuel Robinson, said Paese was hired because "he is somebody who has been in various roles in Washington, D.C., over a period of time and we hire people who have judgment and insight into processes.''
But Frank sent a note to his staff barring them from talking with Paese about financial legislation.
"The reason for barring him is not that I think he will be unduly influencing people, but it is very hard to be saying no to your friends,'' Frank explained in an interview.
As the debate continues this fall, derivatives regulation will be among the focal points. The economic crisis began with the burst of a real estate bubble and ultimately struck deeply at mortgage-related derivatives, security instruments representing the value of thousands of mortgages bundled together.
Frank's visit to the Bank of America offices in New York came after he challenged lobbyists to come up with arguments in favor of trading in derivatives. The bank responded by bringing in some of its customers, including a representative from Ameresco, the Framingham-based energy efficiency company that has offices around the world. The official, whom Frank and Bank of America would not identify, explained how Ameresco relies on a type of derivative to protect against interest-rate fluctuations.
The meeting "was designed to facilitate a dialogue and discussion between public officials and the end users of derivatives, some of whom were our clients,'' Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton said.
Last week, after holding one of what will be many hearings this fall on the financial regulation legislation, Frank told reporters that he wasn't concerned about whether regulation of derivatives would make it more difficult for the big banks to make a profit. But, echoing the argument he heard in his New York meeting, he said he was worried about the impact on banks' corporate customers.
"We are concerned about interfering with the ability of end users of goods and services to hedge against volatility,'' Frank told reporters.
Frank's aides said later that the legislation being written by his staff calls for new rules on derivatives. But it is not as aggressive as some consumer advocates have sought.

It is as if the foxes that raided the hen house so badly that new chickens had to be bought by the farmer / taxpayers are making sure they can still determine how much they get to steal from the coop...LUDICROUS!
What is even worse, there are strong indications they will get away with.
Their "Getting away with it" is par for the course. The HISTORY of the United States is one of the wealthy elite "Getting Away with it".
"The official, whom Frank and Bank of America would not identify, explained how Ameresco relies on a type of derivative to protect against interest-rate fluctuations."
That's fine. Now I want to know who it is that's taking or potentially taking the risk for these losses while corporations are being protected against interest-rate fluctuations!
What kinds of derivatives are available to average Joe citizens against "predatory" interest-rate fluctuations when they take out residential ARM's?
Is Barney Frank concerned about those people?
Only in America can one receive 20 years in a 'Federal Pen' for stealing as little as $750.00 at Gun point from a Bank; while the ones who steal millions, get a permit to steal more, or a chance to 'break and run' with no prospect of trial, much less jail time.
In fact, they are something of 'culture heroes'---'American Style'
If the USA were another nation the USA would invade the USA to keep the world safe; and they would be justified."
barney frank is a tom for the banksters! i thought the world
of barney for years. (he is still the mouth that roared)
but he is in bed with the banksters and should consider a
career change into acting as he is doing such a great job of pretending to want to control them!
regulation of these assh%^&* is pointless unless they fear the consumer. did anyone see the morning news about a woman who became irate when Bank of America raised her interest rate to thirty %. She started a web site titled [i think] Debtors Revolt. she threatened to withhold all payments to B of A until they lowered her rate, and it worked she cut a deal and got it down to 12%. Now, my point. the difference between her and others who have made similar threats to corps. , is that she fully intended to go through with her plan and B of A sensed she meant it. she also had over 300,000 hits on her site by others making similar threats. We can bring these monsters to their knees, but we must be willing to go all the way with no fear of consequences.

PHOTO CALL: Regrets, With Alexis Bledel and Adriane Lenox, Plays Off-Broadway
By Krissie Fullerton
The world-premiere production of British playwright Matt Charman's Regrets, featuring Alexis Bledel of TV's "Gilmore Girls" and Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox (MTC's Doubt), began previews March 8 at Manhattan Theatre Club's Off-Broadway home at City Center Stage I.
The limited engagement also features Curt Bouril, Ansel Elgort, Brian Hutchison, Lucas Caleb Rooney and Richard Topol.
Regrets, is billed this way: "Caleb Farley (Ansel Elgort) is the youngest man ever to show up at Mrs. Duke's (Adriane Lenox) cabins, a ramshackle retreat in the Nevada desert and one of the few places men can go to secure a quick divorce in 1950s America. Caleb claims he fled his Hollywood home for the same reason as the other men in camp — to shed the lives and wives they've known, and loved, to begin anew. But in an era of heightened fears and political distrust, accusations that Caleb is hiding more than just a broken heart test each man's loyalty — to country and to one another. This fascinating new drama is an uncommon tale of friendship, loss and finding the courage of one's convictions."
Here's a look at the production:

The Valdosta Daily Times
Ending their regular season with an exciting 65-51 win against second-ranked Tift County, the Valdosta High boys basketball team will go into the Region 1-AAAAAA tournament confident in their ability to beat the top teams.
"It was a big win over Tift County, but at this point we have to let it go," VHS coach Antonio Haynes said. "Everyone will come ready to play for this tournament."
Finishing the regular season 16-8, the Wildcats have played consistent over the last portion of the season, getting crucial road wins and even bigger wins on their home court.
The 'Cats will face a feisty Camden County (11-10) team tonight after they took down Lowndes on Monday night to advance to the next round. The tournament, hosted by Brunswick, concludes with the region championship game Friday.
"Camden is pretty good and they play hard. We just have to take care of our part, play extremely hard and focus on our defense," said Haynes. "I just want my team to play hard, that's all I ask. I'm not too big on trying to predict the outcome of games, but I know it will take a whole team effort to get this win."
The undisputed leader of the 'Cats team is senior Rashad Lewis, who puts up an average 19 points a game and is one of the more aggressive players for Valdosta.
"He's been great for us. We ask a lot of him and he's been holding up to the standard. He doesn't want to lose and I'm hoping that he has the same drive (today) that he had Saturday and all season," said Haynes.
One area where the 'Cats could use some improvement if they want to go deep in the playoffs is at the free throw line. Making just 36 percent from the line, the 'Cats lose a lot of points.
"We shot free throws well on Saturday. We can't change anything over night, but we want our kids to step up to the line and make these shots. We've pretty much just have to work on changing the mindset at the line," said Haynes.
Other than Lewis, the Wildcats' other standout players include Elliot Ingram, averaging 8.7 points a game and is a dangerous 3-point shooter, and junior Tre Barrett, who is averaging 7.1 points per game.
A recent addition to the team beginning in January, freshman Khalil McClain is averaging six points a game, coming off a 12-point performance against Tift County.
"Having Khalil is good for our team, it gives us an inside guy. He's started six varsity games this year and I'm just asking him to be a ball player and he steps up for us in big games," added Haynes.
Last but not least, Anthony Smith is a big guy who causes the other teams problems when they try to drive the ball into the paint. Smith averages 6.6 points a game, but adds five rebounds a game as well.
Valdosta and Camden County split this season, with VHS getting a 75-59 win at home Jan. 11 and Camden winning 69-63 on its home court Jan. 18.

Sold a home in 2012.
Michelle brought me a buyer for my home and we went to closing within a month. The process was communicated professionally and the transaction went smoothly. I am definitely a satisfied customer and would recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

SOURCE Stetson University College of Law
GULFPORT, Fla., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Stetson University College of Law has added a new summer course for law students on sea turtle protection.
Topics in Biodiversity Law: Sea Turtles is offered at Stetson May 27-June 6 for law students interested in learning about the threats to endangered sea turtles and the legal and policy framework to protect them.
Students enrolled in the course join sea turtle experts from Latin America and the Caribbean on Stetson Law's Gulfport campus during the Consultative Committee Meeting of the Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles.
The Inter-American Convention (IAC) is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the legal framework for countries in the Americas and the Caribbean to take actions for the benefit of sea turtles.
"This course at Stetson provides students with a unique opportunity to learn about domestic and international efforts to protect sea turtles and become part of a critical conservation dialogue," said Professor Royal Gardner, the director of Stetson's Institute for Biodiversity Law and Policy. Professor Gardner and Jacklyn Lopez of the Center for Biological Diversity will co-teach the new course.
Stetson Law is situated near Tampa Bay, the largest open-water estuary in Florida. Loggerheads, green turtles and leatherbacks nest along the coastline.
Sea turtles living in U.S. waters are threatened by the destruction of their nesting and foraging habitats and being captured in commercial and recreational fisheries, entangled in marine debris, and struck by boats. Six sea turtle species are protected under the IAC and many live in Florida.
The course is filling rapidly. Spots remain open in the one-credit section only. Law students interested in more information about Stetson's new summer course on sea turtles should visit www.stetson.edu/turtles.
About Stetson University College of Law
Stetson University College of Law, Florida's first law school, has prepared lawyers and leaders since 1900. Today, Stetson leads the nation in blending legal doctrine with practical training, evidenced by its top-ranked programs in advocacy and legal writing. Through our academically rigorous curriculum and commitment to social responsibility, Stetson lawyers are ethical advocates ready to succeed in the legal profession.

The report is circulating on Facebook, with those who knew her adding their voices to those of who reportedly went "out of her way to go through her line," when she worked at "Sweetbay and its corporate predecessors, Big Barn and Kash n' Karry," according to the TBO.com report.
"She was such a sweetheart," said Cynthia Dross, in a Facebook post. "Thanks Miss Betty for all the love."
"I am heartbroken," said Kim Miller, in her Facebook post. "Miss Betty was so sweet. She will be missed."

Longboat Key - Longboat Key - Real Estate Reports
Date: December 2, 2009
by: Observer Staff
+ Ackerman named top Sarasota-Manatee agent
Coldwell Banker announced that broker associate Barbara Ackerman is the top agent for closed sales volume for Sarasota and Manatee counties for the fourth consecutive month.
Ackerman has worked in Longboat Key and Sarasota real estate for more than 20 years. She recently served as co-chairwoman for the Moffitt Cancer Center and has worked with the Asolo Repertory Theatre and Season of Sculpture. She currently serves on the board of directors for the Sarasota-Manatee Jewish Federation.
"Barbara is consistently a top-performing, innovative and responsive real-estate professional who is actively and passionately involved with her community," said Bob Stanley, managing broker of the company's Longboat Key office, in a prepared statement. "On top of all that, she maintains a very close-knit personal life with her family. She is truly amazing."
+ Pettingell announces a busy start to the season
Roger Pettingell, sales associate at Coldwell Banker Previews, announced a busy start to the 2009-10 season with $8 million in contracted sales for the month of October. Pettingell also listed 12 new properties on Longboat, Lido and Bird keys during October.
"I believe we are seeing a bottom," Pettingell said in a prepared statement. "Sellers are much more realistic about the value of their homes, and buyers don't want to miss out on incredible values."

How do you rank the twelve college football teams in the Southeastern Conference when none of the six teams in the SEC East have yet attained bowl eligibility? Dawg Sports explains in this week's...
Fans of the Georgia Bulldogs have explored every temporal option for correcting the problems of their football team, but Dawg Sports (jokingly) suggests an eternal fix: changing religions.
Mark Richt is a man of deep religious faith, so it is only fitting that Dawg Sports would look to Scripture to find a reason for believing in the head football coach in charge of the Georgia Bulldogs.
It just emerged that Dejan Jakovic has a broken clavicle and will miss 4-6 weeks, just like Chris Pontius (hamstring). In other news, a plague of locusts has descended on RFK Stadium. Hide your first-born sons!
SB Nation's Georgia Bulldogs blogger spent a week at the beach on vacation, and, while he was there, he went to see the Tampa Bay Rays take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.

Normally serene, the Metta Welfare Association compound was unusually buzzing with excitement last March 23, 2014 during the annual Metta Charity Walk cum Family Carnival day. Promising fun for the whole family, the day-long event was packed with a variety of activities, ensuring there was something for everyone, including health buffs, foodies, crafters, hobbyists, kids, bookworms, and those who simply wanted to be entertained by performance arts.
The event started off with the 3-km leisure walk in the morning, led by Guest-of-Honour, Mr. Lim Swee Say, Minister from the Prime Minister's Office. An impressive turnout of about 900 participants joined the walk, which aimed to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Walking, after all, is possibly the simplest and most inexpensive form of exercise, and yet provides significant benefits such as maintaining healthy weight, and helping prevent various diseases.
Returning back to Metta building, Minister Lim and Venerable Shi Fa Zhao sounded the gong to officiate the opening of the event after their speeches.
Meanwhile at the Metta compound, hundreds of visitors dropped in, excitedly hopping from one stall to another. Navigating through a fair with so many stalls can be tricky, but fortunately this was not a problem at the Metta Family Carnival as stalls were grouped by zones of interests making navigation easier: Food Zone, Craft Zone, Stage and Program area, Uncle Ringo play area for kids at the basement. With 133 stalls catering to a wide array of interests, there surely was something for everyone who dropped by at Metta that day!
Some highlights of the Family Carnival:
- Food being key to the success of any celebration, the Food Zone was fittingly the biggest area in the carnival, easily transforming the Metta compound into a foodie's paradise, with an incredible variety of sumptuous local delights from these participating stalls:
- A1 Bubble Tea, Bakery House, Buddhist Life Mission, Chilli Api Catering, Coffeehock (2006) Pte Ltd, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Hotel, Di Zang Lin – Kueh Tutu (嘟嘟糕), Gan Teck Kar Investment Pte Ltd, Genki Popiah (元气薄饼), Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, Jessica's Delight, JOJO Coffee, JOJO Pancake, Kampung Café, Lao Ban Soya Beancurd (老伴豆花), Lim Family, Mahakaruna Buddhist Society, Metta School, Pop and Floss, Rainbow Fruit Stall, Roma's Deli, SIA 5C, Singapore-Hong Kong International Restaurant Trade Friendship Association, Super Bean, Tan Lee Seng confectionery, The Sukha House, Xi De Li Pte Ltd, Yi Kou Wei, Yummilicious Fritters, Yummy Treats, Yuniku Na Café, Zi Yean Restaurant, 亲规 (Hamburger & Kebab), 和盛饼家, 大悲院, 家乡小吃, 心莲心, 惜缘, 慈爱 – Lok-Lok, 法华寺, 济心壇, 观音斋, 饼屋
- In the Craft Zone, handicraft lovers and hobbyists had a choice from several workshops like pottery making and batik printing, while kids enjoyed getting face or body paints. Many stalls were also selling art pieces and handicrafts:
- Metta's very own Arts@Metta offered an "eclectic array of serendipitous finds" made by Metta beneficiaries, including tumblers, mugs, batik-printed shirts, among others. These products are also available on a regular basis at the Metta Shop;
- There were also stalls of jade and other semi-precious stones;
- A good selection of flowers and potted plants were likewise on sale, with a dainty flower arrangement going for as low as $5;
- Ceramic art that went for $1, including an alphabet art that my seven-year old daughter purchased, and which now stands proudly in one of our corner tables;
- Wire art and others
- The booklovers were not overlooked as Tampines Regional Library brought in a massive on-site book borrowing facility, which included several types and genres, from picture books to fiction and non-fiction. The latter featured a gamut of categories like health & wellness, parenting, cookery, children's titles and a lot more.
- Discover Prata Journey – Prata Journey was an interactive, hands-on, insightful and fun-filled experience on the art and science of Prata, conducted by Kampong Group Pte Ltd. Participants were encouraged to enjoy prata making, and explore creativity in the fun and unique workshop.
- FREE Breast Self-Examination Training for All Ladies Only – In between the fun workshops, there was also a free clinic to help generate awareness for breast cancer. Brought by experienced breast health trainer from SingHealth, the session showed how to do Breast Self-Examination, gain knowledge on Mammogram screening, and much more. During the self-examination training, ladies were taught to protect themselves against breast cancer by doing monthly breast self-examination to keep them aware of any changes in their breasts.
- At mid-day, the audience was treated to a variety program, showcasing the talents of several groups of performers, ranging from singing, playing musical instruments, to dancing. This program gave students from Metta School a chance to demonstrate their performing skills onstage as they performed a high energy percussion number.In true Singaporean spirit, there was also Xinyao, characterized by a medley of songs, and a gathering of memories. Courtesy of TCR Music Station, the stirring performance likely left some audience members nostalgic – Xinyao was at its pinnacle in the 1980s and was popularized by the Chinese Singapore youth who gathered together in schools to write and compose songs just for the love of music.
- One of the most awaited segments was the lucky draw – attractive prizes were awarded to ten lucky winners, with Mdm Tham winning first prize! Some of the prizes given away included:
- First Prize: New iPad Mini with Retina Display + On Cheong Jewellery Vouchers total worth over $1000
- Second: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 + On Cheong Jewellery Vouchers total worth over $600
- Third: Asus Memo Pad + On Cheong Jewellery Vouchers total worth over $ 500
- Fourth: Vincent Watch worth $250
- Fifth: Vincent Watch worth $250
- But even if one did not win in the lucky draw, one still had a chance to feel like a winner with the savings that could be had from the other stalls that sold basic items like Milo, noodles, diapers, among other things, at reduced prices.
- Kids had utmost fun at Uncle Ringo's at the basement, which was transformed into a colorful play area with bouncers and an inflatable pool that looked so inviting it was a perfect foil against the sweltering heat outside that day.
Metta is indeed most appreciative of the support from the stallholders, donors, carnival goers, walk participants and volunteers who have contributed significantly to the event. A special mention to the following for their wonderful support to the event: Singapore Pools, Tote Board, JP Nelson Equipment, TES-AMM (Singapore), Changi Simei Grassroots Organisations, Lian Yick Metal Tents, Kampong Group, MDIS, Standard Chartered Bank, UPS Singapore and PTC Systems.
It was clearly a fun and fruitful Sunday for everyone made even more so by the knowledge that all the fun was for a good cause – proceeds from the event will benefit Metta Welfare Association's many services (http://www.metta.org.sg). I can imagine it took a huge amount of effort for the organizers to stage such an exciting, big-scale endeavor. If only it does not take herculean efforts to have this event, it would be so great to have it more often than just once a year!

I consider myself a very honest, caring, open and easy-going person. I am also very shy but I do tend to open up after a little time. I enjoy hanging out with friends. I also consider having a few close friends much more important than having a bunch of friends you hardly know. I am a bit of a nerd and enjoy reading about various sciences and technologies. In general, I am also a bit of a homebody, but not to extremes, as I do go out with friends -- I'm just not a big crowd person. :)

I cannot find anything profound to say about the Westin Heights. I stayed there 4 nights and was very satisfied. The rooms were pleasant and clean, WIFI worked, breakfast buffet was good, the staff was helpful and friendly. This was altogether a pleasant stay.
The sole problem was that the driver of the airport shuttle seemed to think we was in a rally car which was unfortunate.
