The system developed under the Cape Town Treaty to clarify ownership of aircraft and equipment is being made easier to use. Two years' customer experience has driven changes aimed at improving International Registry of Mobile Assets (IRMA) processes used in recording individual financial interests.
Since its introduction in February 2006, the registry has concentrated on making the system more user friendly, a process that will continue for another few years. Software being introduced this month will add further enhancements and make registration "an order of magnitude faster," according to Aviareto, a Dublin-based joint venture between telecommunications provider SITA and the Irish government, which has been entrusted with managing the IRMA system.
So far, the international asset registration procedure has been ratified by more than 20 of the 30-plus countries that signed the Cape Town Convention (see box). The Treaty, comprising the Convention plus the related Protocol on Aircraft Assets, reduces financial risk by clarifying ownership and identifying priorities of interest held in fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and aircraft engines.
Aviareto has recently developed software called Searchpath to make system interrogation more open, especially for users seeking numerous records of assets with similar serial numbers. It also hopes to provide users with better accountability, so that title agents or lawyers, for example, can tender more detailed client invoices. Software is being modified to permit users to be named as both parties in sales transactions, a common financial industry practice.
In the future, registration under IRMA will permit simultaneous multiple transactions. At its simplest, this might involve an aircraft and two engines with three registrations each to identify the objects and parties involved–a scenario that would generate nine registrations.
Previously, with system users checking registered data for the aircraft and individual engines, other interested parties, including banks or lessors, were kept waiting online to provide, for example, consent to proceed. Now, second-generation software will permit customers to pre-arrange processes to expedite online processes.
The company also is introducing a registration page so that, for example, retained handling agents can be identified later. "We would not have thought of that without talking to the industry," Aviareto managing director Rob Cowan told EBACE Convention News.
Aviareto has spent months visiting interested parties, especially in registration hotbeds like New York, Oklahoma City (home of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration registry), and Dallas, Texas, where "lawyers are not reluctant to share their opinions," said Cowan.
Other topics raised by users include the need for clearer identification of generic types, since aircraft registered in IRMA under one specific type will be found in searches only for that specific type. Customers want the system to accommodate name variations and to show, for example, all entries applicable to a given registered asset.
Cowan said manufacturers' data can be inconsistent and their names might change. For example, are Piper PA-28, Cherokee, Cherokee Warrior, and Cherokee Lance all the same aircraft type? And who manufactured the airplane: Piper or New Piper?
Aviareto hopes improvements will allow users to obtain all relevant information at the beginning of the registration process. To that end, registrants are being required to use manufacturers' serial numbers (MSNs) for aircraft, helicopters and engines.
Cowan emphasized that although Aviareto is a monopoly, it does not arbitrate asset-ownership disputes. Rather, it will provide information that courts can use
to settle disputes. Beginning in October, additional changes will facilitate easier correction and amendment of IRMA entries.
A major enhancement has been registration of multiple ownership of assets, typically to accommodate fractional ownership programs. Since last June, 13 percent of new registered aircraft assets and three percent of engine-asset registrations have involved such acquisitions, although there has been just one registration of a helicopter fractional asset.
Not all fractional ownership operators have accepted IRMA registration. "Some fleet managers have embraced it and encourage registration by their customers, but others have yet to see why they should," said Cowan. "They might not like the cost and hassle of registering small portions." To register an aircraft and two engines costs $100; a search costs $3; and the price for a user license is $200.
Nevertheless, fractional ownership executives do seem to see some value in registration. "It is clear that some resistant managers are requiring customers to register their disposal of the asset back to the frax program to protect themselves by proving their return ownership," explained Cowan.
So, after two years, how many parties have registered interests in how many assets? Cowan believes that quoting numbers in such terms would be a misleading measure of project success because of multiple registrations of multiple elements in a single transaction. "We can say that 5,000 search certificates have been issued and that there have been 4,000 registration sessions," he stated. Aviareto is seeing applications from more than 500 potential new users each month.

Mark Lepage at Osheaga 2013, Saturday: Beck, Bob Mould, the Breeders, Tricky, Lou Doillon, Jimmy Eat World, Grouplove
Grouplove, Mountain Stage, 1:30 p.m.
Welcome to Freakville, population: all of you. Cali band Grouplove looked the name on the Mountain Stage as Day 2 opened, with skeleton bodysuit girl (Hannah Hooper on keys), topknot (singer/guitarist Christian Zucconi) and mountain prophet guy (bassist Sean Gadd). But their alt-hippie rock was celebratory, with new song Ways To Go and a tossed-off but valid cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Hooper's French was both unexpected and convincing, and drummer Ryan Rabin's closing crowdsurf was the capper. Fun.
Jimmy Eat World, Mountain Stage, 2:50 p.m.
If you'd pretty much dropped by Jimmy Eat World on the big Mountain Stage because of a vestigial affection for clean-cut mosh anthem The Middle and similarly lingering goodwill towards their punkysomething attack, then you were in for an awakening.
Lead singer Jimmy Adkins stood centre-stage as the focal firing point for the band's collision of All-American alt/emo/punkoid riffology, sawing away at his Tele while Tom Linton matched that on his own SG through Big Casino and the change-of-pace Appreciation, from the latest, Damage.
Urgency and absolute physical commitment throughout – you could measure the progress of the set by the spread of the sweatstain across Jim Adkins' shirt. After Pain and somewhere during the severe yet unifying Bleed American, the shirt was all stain, the crowd was heaving like an ocean, and the band was firing The Middle into the crowd like a firehose. There's won't be a more automatic payoff at Osheaga. "This is f****n' perfect, right?" Adkins exulted. Jimmy Eat Osheaga.
Lou Doillon, Green Stage, 3:35 p.m.
It looked to be – and should have amounted to – a sked travesty – Lou Doillon's aerian Gallo-cabaret-folk on the vast plain of the Green Stage area, where you could land a few aircraft and where the putative hothouse flower would die a thousand deaths. Bof.
Instead, Doillon channeled the appeal of her Paris-sleeping-with-London Birkin/Gainsbourg persona, charmed the crowd in both official languages and walked away with many hearts in her back pocket. Backed by her four-piece, she introduced Jealousy as "a song for mega-f****n' jealous girls like me" – back-to-back acts dropping F-bombs with aplomb, by the way. Similarly, her voice was grainier and harder than on record – all phrasing and charisma. She invited the crowd to "sing with me, dance, swing your arms, strip, snog, whatever you want" before a raspier I.C.U. and the seextees pop of Questions and Answers. There was nothing gamine about it, an effortlessly confident valse through lovelorn but disarming serenades.
Tricky, Green Stage, 5 p.m.
You wanted a timely injection of bad vibes into the Osheagan lovefest? If you were at the Green Stage, you are likely still talking over or parsing the brilliantly maddening Dadaist exhibition Tricky offered, a set of deeply unsettled if firmly choreographed anarchy.
Unsettled is leading your band through a grinding 15-minute cover of Ace of Spades while three dozen pre-arranged stage-crashers groove around the flamingo pole in their Elvis outfits. And no, that's not a euphemism. Follow it with the circular, obsessive Vent while gruffly chanting "Breathe!" and you have expression-of-mental-state as performance. Somewhere in that melee and milling-about was Francesca Belmonte, not so much Tricky's muse or co-singer as the woman he pushes forward vocally while he contorts, pulls at his shirt, bares his belly and goads the audience. "Don't be scared," he repeated over and over in his Bristol accent. It wasn't a matter of fear as much as… bemusement. Moody, as in several moods, most of them related to a kind of grinning menace. Breakdown or exorcism? Likely the latter, and in broad daylight. Take that, hippies.
The Breeders, Green Stage, 6:25 p.m.
Some identical twins are wreathed in an aura of intuitive mysticism… Then there's Kim and Kelley Deal, who just look like two gals who'd drink any dozen Hells Angels under the table. One of Osheaga's most beloved, lurchiest bands, they stood on no ceremony. After Kelley had bullied a red Les Paul with her slide in New Year, they were into the ah-oooh-gah of Cannonball, and a fairly large Green Stage crowd was reliving a summer alt-rock heyday. The epic skronk of Roi and the low-slung blissed out Do You Still Love Me?, the friendly noise of I Just Wanna Get Along, instrumental S.O.S. and eccentric anthem Hag, and the enduring evidence that these ladies are responsible for one of the most endearingly, definitively idiosyncratic of songbooks. And one stage over…
Bob Mould, Trees Stage, 7:10 p.m.
Whatever you were doing Saturday at 7:10 p.m., if you were doing it with 15% of the commitment and depth Bob Mould was bringing to his set for a clutch of true believers gathered before the Trees Stage, you were a missionary.
The Breeders' set was still echoing through the trees, making this one of the immortal back-to-back alt/punk moments when Mould cheerily saluted "Hello Montreal, we're back," looking avuncular in shaved head, beard and checked shirt. The guy bounding all over the stage to The Act We Act was not your uncle, but the conduit to what's left of alt-rock's taut glory.
By the fifth song, the trio – bassist Jason Narducy, drummer Jon Wurster – had ripped through A Good Idea, Changes and Hoover Dam in short order, looking to set a landspeed record for no-b.s. 50-minute rock performance. You appreciated anew the purity of his chordal, melodic attack, how irreducible it is. Newer song Star Machine had the same taut, tensile power and hard punk-pop hook. And more than anything, you appreciated the joy he was getting and giving in playing some of our elemental music.
Mould powered them into a kind of encore of Husker Du Songs – one, I Apologize, from New Day Rising, two, Something I Learned Today and Chartered Trips from Zen Arcade – smiling as he ended with Keep Believing from an album called Silver Age: perhaps a reference to life-stage, but this was closer to gold.
Beck, River Stage, 9:05 p.m.
Beck was feeling nostalgic.
"I truly love playing in Montreal," he said in his black jacket and hat after a promising opening of Devil's Haircut and the chugging Black Tambourine, after the Tainted Love snippet and Modern Guilt, with his stage lights looking like a Lite Brite hommage and reflecting the real fireworks exploding over La Ronde.
"We've played here a lot, in '96 on the Odelay tour. With Midnite Vultures – everywhere we went, nobody was moving, nobody was dancing. Except Montreal." True, I'd been there, with the descending bed and the louche Prince moves.
"Montreal was not holding back."
Why, then, did it feel like Beck was? The old debate – genius or subtle con-man, or both – was revived in an oddly laid-back set with far more acoustic guitar than alt-tronica or funkytown. He'd made reference to the light rain, and "we're accompanied by the bugs. Thank you, bugs." We'd heard Think I'm In Love and its Donna Summer citation, the low-key Gamma Ray, and highlight Loser, with local hero Rishi Dhir enjoying a major moment and pouring some exotic fire on sitar. Smokey Hormel had wired the place on slide guitar in Hotwax, and it's always a thrill to see a guy who looks like your dad burn up a fretboard.
But this was still largely muted, through the dreamy Chemtrails and all of his student-of-the-game moves. He was going to stop the show to watch the fireworks climax in the light rain, but instead said "It's probably not the right time to bring out a book at a rock festival." So he did, his Song Reader, as "an excuse to let Smokey play the ukulele" and eventually lean into Sissyneck and a bit of Billie Jean.
It was going to build to a climax. The lope-meandering keys of Where It's At and "two turntables and a microphone" would re-wire the durable fans who'd stayed as the rain began in earnest. Then he laid down – "You got me all tired out. Take a little break." It was a semi-ruse – he was building the breakdown back up with a little testifying, "a confession" about knock-knockin' on Montreal's door. "Please won't you take me iiiiinnn! Montreal, won't you take me in your arms tonight?"
They would. It was the full-on loverman move we'd been waiting for, with some Sly Stone and some goofy triangle-playing. "I'll do anything for you!" He was doing a lot here as the song burst open and the crowd detonated. Would that he'd done everything else the headliner could.

OK. This isn't so much as a pub crawl guide as just a pub guide to some of the nicest watering holes in the City of Wolverhampton. Try them all in one go or one at a time. Enjoy. So many pubs, so little time. I have decided to start on the west of the town because I originally come from the town of Bridgnorth which lies to the west and also because the west is far nicer than the east side of town. We're gonna start far out and work our way in. Please note that some of these pubs are driving distance apart so they won't really be feasible as a pub crawl. And don't drink drive; its not just stupid and morally indefensible, you'll also get caught and charged, so don't do it! First up, the Fox at Shipley. This lies on the A454 Bridgnorth to Wolverhampton Rd approx 4 miles from Wolves on a T-Junction. This pub is more geared towards families, its a good place to take your gran for sunday lunch. The food is good but not spectacular. No complaints about about the beer or service. The junction it lies on has traditionally been an accident blackspot but this has been remedied by the introduction of speed cameras. Its also worth noting that this stretch of road has three good garden centres on it, all quite close together. Facing Wolves, if you turn left you would head to Seisdon, a small attractive village with one pub, the Seven Stars. This was a traditional country pub but it has recently been refurbished and now resembles a mediterranean bar. The onus is on food not drink here and the menu is adventurous if not a little expensive. Turning left at the Fox at Shipley leads you to Pattingham, another lovely village with a couple of pubs. One of note is The Pigot. This is a beautiful looking bar with friendly staff and a young clientelle. A lot of professional footballers live round here so bring your autograph book. The beer garden is superb. Now, lets head into the suburbs. First we'll go to
Perton and the Pear & Partridge. Cheap pub grub, pool tables, golf game, good beer. Drinking in Perton can be intimidating because its a closed estate and everyone knows everyone else. Strangers stand out a mile but this pub is fairly welcoming. The other pub in Perton is not worth mentioning, it's a hole. Heading from Perton, get back on the A454 and mosy into the suburb of Wightwick (pronounced Wittik). At the traffic lights in Wightwick we see the Mermaid pub. This used to be a teeming pub for young people but it has recently been converted into a chain pub. Ignore the mock 'tweeness' and all the horse brassy stereotypes and this is still quite a nice place. The food is pretty good with a wide range to suit any taste. The beer garden isn't spectacular but it's comfortable and civilised. I recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice (with vodka!). Back on the A454 we keep heading towards town. Soon enough we reach Compton. The first pub you'll meet is The Swan. This is not a young persons pub so don't expect to get too roudy but it's still a friendly atmosphere. The pub is a member of CAMRA so expect to see a good selection of real ales and ciders. It's also the only pub I know of to have sing songs round the old 'joanna'. Darts and dominoes also available. Sadly the beer garden only affords wonderful views of the local convenience store car park. If you fancy a curry go to 'Mem Sahib' across the way for top drawer Indian cuisine but be warned, take your cheque book. Round the corner from the Swan is The Oddfellows Hall. The clientelle are young, the beer prices high, the lighting dingy and the food awful. I'm in there quite a lot. Come say hello. Good pub games, Crystal maze, Golf, Erotic spot the difference. Go on. Opposite is 'The House of Canton', a very good Cantonese restaurant offering both eat in and take away. Next door is 'Bridge 59
39;, a highly respected restaurant offering top notch British cuisine. Next door to that is 'Tuk Tuk Thai', a takeaway Thai restaurant that looks very flash. I don't really like Thai but I've heard mixed reviews. Before we leave Compton I have to talk about the Westacres, this is 400 yards off the main road up Finchfield Hill. It is a chain pub yes but this is the place to be at the weekend. The decor is great, the food is great and good value, the beer's cheap. For the ladies, Blossom Hill Zinfandel, superb. If it played less charty background music I'd live there. Nuff said. In the next chapter we'll actually go to town and get drrrrunk. Watch this space

Jonathan and Charlotte
DON'T know about you, but personally I was thrilled when Pudsey the dancing dog won this year's Britain's Got Talent.
Dogs are way cooler than humans, after all. It's just a shame they didn't let him enter The X Factor as well.
I guess it's because his singing voice is too similar to Rylan's.
Anyway, here's a question for you. Can you remember which act was this years's Britain's Got Talent runner-up?
Or, to phrase it slightly better, would you have remembered if we hadn't already stuck this photo of them next to what you're reading?
You would? Well, clever old you. It was, of course, urban duo MK1, pictured here before their makeover.
No, OK, I'm kidding – it was operatic warblers JONATHAN & CHARLOTTE, whose names I've written in capitals not because their act thrills me that much (I'd get more pleasure from repeatedly smashing a traffic light over my head), but because that's also the title of an ITV1 special tonight (9pm), looking at what they've been up to since BGT (they
lost to a dog, did I mention that?) and watching them gear up for a gig in Monte Carlo.

Jet Works Air Center of Denton, Texas has won a "multi-million-dollar contract" for re-configuration of an MD-87 to an executive role.
The MD-87 will be outfitted for 24 passengers and will include "a leading-edge entertainment system [and] Wi-Fi, high-speed Internet access and air-to-ground communications."
Jet Works delivered a Boeing 737 and three BBJs last year, all of them cabin refurbishment jobs and one a major project. All four were for Middle East customers, as is the MD-87 now in the works.
The growing Middle East market for single-aisle and widebody bizliner outfitting was one of the reasons Jet Works and sister company and broker/dealer Business Air International made a first appearance at the MEBA 2010 aviation trade show last month in Dubai.
Jet Works operates out of some 100,000 square feet of hangar space at Denton Municipal Airport, not far from D/FW International. In addition to completion and refurbishment work, the center also handles heavy maintenance and modification and avionics upgrades, as well as exterior paint for business jets as large as a G550.

" Brand: Marks & Spencer "
This is not just any review - this is your M & S review!
I submitted this product suggestion to DooYoo last week & I have just had the go ahead for the first review of M&S chocolate buttons. I just couldn't wait to share it with you, so here goes -
I discovered these in the Marks & Spencer food aisle a couple of months ago & since then I have not been able to resists looking for them whichever branch I have been visiting.
I would imagine they are aimed at little children - but hey I'm just a big kid at heart!
Milk chocolate buttons of a small size & made from superior luxury chocolate.
These buttons come in a blue plastic bag/pack decorated on the left of the pack with about 20 different coloured button sized shapes, some with white stars on, supposedly they are to depict the size & shape & thought of the chocolate buttons inside. The Marks & Spencer logo appears at the top & further down in much larger letters the words 'Chocolate Buttons' & underneath this a picture of mouth watering chocolate buttons - there is the usual description of the product & list of ingredients, the nutritional value, the weight of the whole pack including wrapper presumably & the best before date (is anyone likely to hold out from eating them & keep them that long? Certainly not me!)
The nutritional information says that each sweet contains 7 calories, & 0.4g fat - I've never seen nutrition mentioned as per sweet before, usually it's per 100g or per pack.
There are no artificial flavourings or colourings
WARNING - please note the fact they are made in a factory where there are nuts used.
They are to be found with all the other sweets & are on a hanging display usually at or near the top.
So now you know what you are looking for - I wouldn't want you to miss them!
~Sizes & prices & availability~
There is a site called Britstore which I used to send the details to DooYoo when I submitted a product suggestion (there is no mention of the buttons on any of the M&S sites) However, the Britstore site quotes £1.89 for 100g size. In actual fact I telephoned M & S this morning & they told me that in store that same100g size is only 89p! They also do a mini size which they didn't have in stock today, but I was told it is about 39p.
These buttons can be bought at all branches of M&S including larger stores, smaller stores, outlet stores, simply food stores etc. I cannot find them on the online shopping site.
~My experience~
Inside the packet are lots of scrumptious looking identical sized little chocolate buttons & I did notice the lovely aroma of milk chocolate as I opened the bag.
You get the taste of extra special chocolate straight away even with the first button. The texture is creamy, light & melts in the mouth. smooth & soft extra delicious chocolate.
The mini pack would be a lovely little size that is just right for tiny infant mouths, but you might need to have the wet wipes handy!
These also come in the handy size of 100g which I suppose is meant for sharing - my partner hogs practically the whole packet in a couple of mouthfuls, & I look at the packet in dismay when I have had a few buttons & there are none left. It's better for me if we have a packet each, saves a lot of disappointment and/or annoyance! Having said that, the mini pack which they also do wouldn't be enough for either of us so we usually have a 100g pack each!
We made the mistake of only taking one packet of these in the car when we went out for the day & needless to say my other half had eaten most of them within minutes of opening! We stopped at a Little Chef for coffee & when paying he noticed rows of sweets hanging up so couldn't resist buying some more chocolate buttons. Of course the only ones available were Cadbury's so while wincing at the price - nearly £3 for a pack (it was larger than the size of the M&S pack of buttons but still worked out an awful lot more expensive - in fact it was extortionate compared to the M & S ones) He paid the bill & back in the car we opened them.
Our disappointment was immense. They were very much larger buttons & the smell & taste of cocoa was very evident. We did not enjoy these Cadbury's buttons at all after enjoying the M & S ones so much. I would say the M & S buttons are made of far superior luxury chocolate & had an entirely different texture & taste to the Cadbury's ones which we both found to be inferior & much too 'cocoa ey' (I know there is no such word but that's my description!)
My method of eating M& S chocolate buttons is to savour them one at a time; thoroughly relishing each tiny button & making the pack last as long as I can so if in the company of my other half I prefer to have individual packs as needless to say he scoffs them down in handfuls & then looks longingly at the ones I still have left!
My opinion is that these chocolate buttons are too luscious to describe!
I am hooked on these M&S chocolate buttons & cannot visit a M&S store without searching for them. I usually buy at least three small packs to 'store'(ha!ha!) in the cupboard - but as we chocolate lovers all know, that isn't possible - if they are there they have to be eaten!
We usually think of M & S food products as being very expensive but in fact these buttons are cheaper than Cadbury's & far superior.
Try them - I bet you will never fancy Cadbury's buttons again after this experience!

followup to the Badrocks experience.
Mine had 3 months of break in practice hikes (all on sidewalks or flat florida sand trails and two weeks of At hiking.
At that point, the mesh had started to tear along the seams and the heel wore through completely.
Apparently, the soft sole compound which gives good grip also gives poor life.
I won't be buying any more Montrails. They have used up all the good rep that the Hardrocks earned them. There are too many other competing brands out there.
AT hiker : It's the journey, not the destination
Please ignore the last post. It turns out I was wearing one of my old pair of Hardrocks. As they say in espanol "IDIOTA!!!"
It remains to be seen how long they last.

Did you all remember to enter my giveaway for some goodies from the new Disney DreamWorks movie The Croods?? (Saturday's post)
Okay- so you have probably seen them all over Pinterest. Seems like EVERYONE has been making donuts lately. I have been DYING over them I tell you!!! I kept wanting to purchase a donut pan but something was holding me back. Then we were out at Target- when we really had no business going in there because we are really dangerous when we shop together. So there we were milling about when I saw the little Sunbeam mini-donut maker. Really- it was on sale for only $14!!!! I couldn't pass it up. SOOOOOO now I can make donuts in a flash, they are mini- so less guilt & I don't even have to turn on the oven to do it. YAY!!!
I decided to jazz up these by making them whole wheat – again, less guilt.
I also decided that I would add in some blackberry marmalade that I had made for a little something extra.
You can catch that recipe in the raspberry version HERE.
Oh my word- they were SO GOOD!!!!!! Definitely making these again.
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 9 tbsp butter - melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg- slightly beaten
- 1 tbsp blackberry marmalade
- Preheat donut machine
- Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.
- Make a well in the center & whisk in butter, then milk & egg until smooth.
- Fold in marmalade so it's swirled throughout.
- Transfer half the batter to piping bag with large open tip.
- Spray donut maker with cooking spray before adding batter.
- Pipe in batter, close lid & cook for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove & allow to cool on wire rack before adding glaze.
- Pipe in the next batch until all batter is used.
- This made about 16 mini-donuts. (donut maker does 5 at a time)
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 2-2 1/2 tbsp milk
- 2-3 drops food color if desired
- decorations of choice
- Sift sugar in medium bowl.
- Stir in enough milk to make soft & spreadable.
- If using colors divide into separate bowls & add food color to each.
- Drizzle over cooled donuts or dip the tops into the glaze & allow to set on wire rack to harden.
Now it's time for you to share!

Senator Fuschillo And Assemblyman Weisenberg Propose New Restrictions For Tanning Salons
Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (8th Senate District) and Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg (20th Assembly District) announced today that they introduced legislation which would impose new safety restrictions on tanning salons.
Under the provisions of this legislation, children between the ages of fourteen and eighteen would be required to have their parents sign a statement acknowledging that they have read the required safety notices already issued by the Department of Health before using the tanning equipment. Children under fourteen years old would be prohibited from using tanning salons.
"Teenagers don't always take into account the potential long-term health effects that tanning may cause, therefore parents need to be able to exercise their judgment in order to protect their children," said Senator Fuschillo, a member of the State Senate's Health Committee.
"With the alarming rise in the number of skin cancer cases, this legislation is of paramount importance to ensure that people are aware of the potential dangers associated with ultraviolet tanning," stated Assemblyman Weisenberg. "As I have in the past, I will continue to advocate for laws that will afford individuals greater protections from skin cancer."
The new legislation would also require adult tanning salon patrons to sign a similar statement indicating that they have read the Department of Health's safety information and agree to wear safety goggles before using a tanning device.
"According to the FDA, more than one million people visit tanning salons every day, but many are unaware of the dangers posed by these ultraviolet rays, such as eye injury, premature skin wrinkling, skin rashes, and an increased chance of developing skin cancer," Senator Fuschillo added. "By requiring individuals to sign a statement indicating that they received and read this safety information, we can ensure that they are fully aware of the associated risks and can make an educated decision based on all the facts."
"There are no safe UV rays. Lights used in tanning beds and sun lamps give off UV rays. Research has proven that the younger a person is who uses a tanning facility, the more likely he or she is to develop skin cancer. The lights in the tanning bed actually act as a radiation multiplier. The American Cancer Society commends Senator Fuschillo and Assemblyman Weisenberg for taking action to protect the youth of New York State from skin cancer – the most frequently diagnosed form of cancer," said Will Stoner, Regional Advocacy Director for the American Cancer Society.
Although several other states, including California, Texas, Wisconsin, and Illinois, have enacted age restriction laws, there is no such law in New York State. Under the current state law, tanning facility operators are required to be licensed by the Department of Health and display signs, approved by the Department, warning of the potential health effects caused by ultraviolet tanning. In addition, salon operators must also provide approved information notifying patrons of the conditions under which ultraviolet tanning is inadvisable.

I recently purchased this book and going through Clara's blog one day at http://iheartcuppycakes.wordpress.com, I discovered she had started and then abandoned the 500 cupcake challenge. (http://iheartcuppycakes.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/500-cupcake-challenge/). So .. I decided to convince her to start once again. And so she and I will be starting at the beginning of the month and anyone else is welcome to jump on the bandwagon.
Here are some rules that I've thought of:
- Participants would have to own the book 500 cupcakes by Fergel Connolly.
- We could post any time during the first half of the month. Posting times will be flexible initially - we could change the rule if/as the challenge grows.
- Participants would have to have a blog to post baking experiences on.
- We could start with Recipe #1 on page 19 - which makes it easier to keep track.
- We could substitute ingredients/improvise if suddenly out of an ingredient.
That's really it, I can't think of anything else.
However, I have to note here that I've tried a few recipes from the book and so far the 2-3 I tried were exactly the same except for frosting. So it may not be worth it to make each and every one? We'll have to see as we go along, I guess.

Lead guitarist from the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Brian Nash tour dates
Pete Wylie
Seminal Scouse maverick who, along with Ian McCulloch and Julian Cope, pioneered the Eighties art-indie scene. His debut gig was at the legendary Eric's in Liverpool - the night it was raided and closed down for ever. He bounced back with a series of bands - Wah! Heat, Wah! and The Mighty Wah! - and achieved chart success with the anthemic 'The Story Of The Blues' in 1982.
Still writing great songs, Wylie's shows provide entertainment both musically and through his extravagantly opinionated conversation. The man's a legend, miss him at your peril!
Pete Wylie tour dates
Ian McNabb
One of the great singer/songwriters to emerge from the 80s Liverpool music scene. Founder/lead singer with the chart toppers The Icicle Works, famous for the UK and US Top 40 hits "Love Is A Wonderful Colour" and "Whisper To A Scream (Birds Fly)", Ian McNabb has gone on to enjoy a critically-acclaimed solo career. The Mercury Music Prize nominated artist continues to write stunning songs with warmth, humour, cynicism and grandeur.
Ian McNabb tour dates
Ian Prowse
The vocalist and guitarist from Amsterdam and Pele playing a solo show. This man has played with Elvis Costello, John Peel counted him as one of his top five artists AND Christy Moore has covered one of his songs.

With 20th-century music, there was a vast increase in music listening as the radio gained popularity and phonographs were used to replay and distribute music. The focus of art music was characterized by exploration of new rhythms, styles, and sounds. Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, and John Cage were all influential composers in 20th-century art music. The invention of sound recording and the ability to edit music gave rise to new sub-genre of classical music, including the acousmatic and Musique concrète schools of electronic composition.
Jazz evolved and became an important genre of music over the course of the 20th century, and during the second half of that century, rock music did the same. Jazz is an American musical artform that originated in the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of African and European music traditions. The style's West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note. From its early development until the present, jazz has also incorporated music from 19th- and 20th-century American popular music. Jazz has, from its early-20th-century inception, spawned a variety of subgenres, ranging from New Orleans Dixieland (1910s) to 1970s and 1980s-era jazz-rock fusion.
Rock music is a genre of popular music that developed in the 1960s from 1950s rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, and country music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar or acoustic guitar, and it uses a strong back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments such as organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, analog synthesizers and digital ones and computers since the 1990s. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form," it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody." In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it branched out into different subgenres, ranging from blues rock and jazz-rock fusion to heavy metal and punk rock, as well as the more classical influenced genre of progressive rock and several types of experimental rock genres.

Production levels for key grain crops, including corn and soybeans, are projected to increase in both the United States and Canada, which is expected to put pressure on these prices for the 2013 growing season.
Joseph Glauber, chief economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) told PotashInvestingNews.com at the USDA's 89th annual Agricultural Outlook Forum that prices of corn, soybeans and wheat should fall in 2013 as production increases in response to current high crop prices.
"We should see record production of corn and soyabeans. That should lower prices," Glauber was reported as saying.
Although optimism for the 2013 season is running high, Glauber cautioned that farmers were in a similar situation in 2012 before the drought and heat destroyed a record number of corn and soybean crops.
With strong demand for increasing production in corn, soybeans and wheat, fertilizer manufacturers have responded with their own optimism for strong demand for crop nutrients.
To produce the amount of grain crops farmers want, they will need the crop nutrients to bump yields, fertilizer manufacturers say.
PotashInvestingNews.com reports that CF Industries expects that "demand [for fertilizers] should materialize later in the first quarter," and that "[f]ertilizer markets during the fourth quarter [of 2012] were characterized by strong North American demand for ammonia and phosphates."
As phosphate applications typically occur within the first stage of plant growth, there is a good chance that the prospect of strong crop production numbers will help phosphate producers' sales this spring, PotashInvestingNews.com reported.

Bradley M. Simon, son of Arthur and Krista Simon of Palm Harbor, entered Basic Cadet Training at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo., in preparation to enter the first academic year at the academy. The six-week, two-phased orientation program must be successfully completed by the cadets prior to entering their freshman year. The training prepares men and women to meet the rigorous mental and physical challenges experienced by new cadets.
Phase 1 involves personal in-processing, orientation and training in the fundamentals of being a cadet. Cadet trainees are prepared to adjust from civilian to military life and disciplines, and learn proper wear of the uniform, saluting policies and procedures, drill and ceremony, marching and living quarters standards.
During Phase 2, cadets train outdoors living in tents while learning to function in field conditions. Cadets apply and practice teamwork and cohesion, and learn to deal with physically and mentally demanding situations. They complete the obstacle, confidence, assault and leadership reaction courses, and participate in a rescue mission termed Operation Warrior.
Simon graduated in 2011 from Palm Harbor University High.
• • •
Air Force Airman Frank B. Martinez, son of Eudes Shoutd of Clearwater, graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.
The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.
Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
• • •
Navy Seaman Recruit Steven M. Harshberger, son of Pauline D. and Allen A. Harshberger of Palm Harbor, completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Harshberger completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations," an exercise that gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet.
Harshberger is a 2004 graduate of Countryside High, Clearwater.

Bush may avoid Nixon's fate
With his approval rating below 40 percent in most national polls, the president, under the auspices of "executive privilege," refused to turn over information regarding his alleged illegal spying and wiretapping programs to the Senate Investigative Committee.
Earlier in the investigation into the illegal spying allegations, Democrats requested that the attorney general initiate an investigation. He refused.
The White House press secretary cited the ongoing war and concerns over the dangerous world in which we live as justifications for administration's claim of secrecy and executive privilege.
In the coming year, this incident caused the resignation of the president, the first time that has happened in our history.
This was the resignation of President Richard Nixon following the Watergate scandal.
There are many comparisons between this bit of history and the highly-questionable spying program of President Bush. Bush, like Nixon, claimed to be a compassionate conservative. Both presidents were accused of conducting illegal spying and wiretapping programs during their second terms. Both presidents were "war presidents," and both used that as a defense for many of their actions.
But alas, there is a difference between now and the simpler times of 1973. In 1973, the Congress actually felt compelled to do their duty. Today, Republican Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas has decided that the solution is to draft legislation that will make the illegal part of Bush's spying program legal, and therefore eliminating any need to investigate.
It was a simpler time in 1973. There were some men of principle and integrity that sought out the truth and found the courage to prosecute those that chose to shame our Constitution.
George W. Bush and his spy campaign should be investigated with the full authority of Congress. To do otherwise is to condone misdeeds and promote a monarchy

In a sign of confidence that the economic recovery is truly underway, Shea Properties announced today that it plans to complete construction on its 600,000 square foot, open-air, specialty center in West Ventura County by the end of this year.
The Collection at RiverPark, located alongside Highway 101 between the Vineyard and Oxnard exits, already features a 150,000SF state-of-the-art Target store, which opened in July of 2011. Whole Foods Market, REI and Century Theatres round out the anchor lineup.
All of the economic indicators are trending in the right direction. Retail sales have been on the rise and the overall economy feels like its getting stronger. For these reasons, we decided that it was time to restart construction, said Colm Macken, CEO of the Aliso Viejo, CA-based Shea Properties, managing entity for RiverPark Collection, LLC, project developer.
Macken clarified that the goal was to complete construction of the retail center by years end, with Century Theatres opening in or around November, followed by Whole Foods, REI and others in the spring of 2013. Visible construction activity will begin to pick up as the REI building, just now going vertical, begins to take shape. The finishing touches like landscape, hardscape, and architectural detail work will also be happening throughout the center. One thing is for certain, Macken said,this is the final push toward the finish line.
Macken also announced a string of service retailers facing Oxnard Boulevard who hope to open along with the theaters in the fallbarring construction delays due to buildout complexity or weather. The recently announced retailers include Starbucks Coffee, Menchies Frozen Yogurt, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Panera Bread. Massage Envy and Color Me Mine are also planning a fall opening. Other announcements will be made in the coming weeks as leases are finalized.
Ventura County residents, especially those living in the RiverPark community, have been waiting patiently for The Collection to open, said Macken. We certainly would have liked to open the center earlier, but lets face it, times have been difficult for all of us. This center, with its Coastal California-themed architecture, pedestrian-friendly, open-air layout, and unique tenant mix will become the regional center of choice for years to come.
Century Theatres will be the first retailer to open at The Collection since Target in July of 2011. The state-of-the-art cinema complex will include 16 screens with two of them using the Century XD technology. This new movie experience features oversized, wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor digital screens with enhanced surround sound and a level of comfort not seen in other theaters.
The Collection at RiverPark will also incorporate 60,000 square feet of unique office space above the retail on the main street as well as an extensive public art program and LEED certification.
In another sign that Shea Properties is seeing some movement in the retail markets, the company is moving forward on a mixed-use center in the San Diegos Barrio Logan market. Anchored by a 35,000 square foot Northgate Gonzalez Market with an additional 48,000 square feet of street-level retail and 92 affordable apartment homes, Phase I of Mercado del Barrio is set to open in late summer 2012.
