Nick Willis eclipses New Zealand 3000m record
Nick Willis has broken John Walker's 31-year-old national 3000m record as he continues to impress in the leadup to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games next month.
Willis, 31, clocked 7:36.91 in finishing third this morning at the latest IAAF World Challenge meeting in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
In doing so he knocked 0.58 seconds off the mark set by New Zealand great John Walker, recorded in London in September 1982 - a year before Willis was born.
US-based Willis, the 2006 Commonwealth 1500m champion and 2008 Olympic silver medallist over the same distance, lowered his personal best for the 3000m by 3.71 seconds, eclipsing his previous best time of 7:40.62 last July in Zagreb, Croatia.
Today's race was won by Kenyan Caleb Ndiku in 7:31.66 from Yomif Kejelcha, of Ethiopia, in 7:36.28. Kiwi Zane Robertson finished 14th in a new outdoor personal best of 7:50.89.
Willis now owned the 1500m and 3000m national records, while Walker had the 1000m, 2000m and mile records.
Last week, he set a personal best over the mile distance when clocking 3:49.83 to finish second behind world indoor champion Ayanleh Souleiman from Djibouti in the Diamond League Dream Mile in Oslo, Norway.
That time was just 0.75 seconds outside Walker's national mile record, also set in 1982.
Last week, Athletics New Zealand's track and field selection panel convener Graham Seatter insisted no pun was intended when he said Willis was '''arguably in the best nick he's ever been in''.
The Wellingtonian now returns to his base in Michigan to continue his preparations for Glasgow, where he will seek to win his third successive 1500m Commonwealth Games medal.

Accused murderer Matthew N. Burton, 28, of Dagsboro, has been extradited to Maryland, where he remains jailed without bond.
Superior Court Judge T. Henley Graves ordered Burton's extradition during an Aug. 16 hearing in Georgetown. Shortly after the hearing, Burton was taken by Maryland State Police to Snow Hill, Md., for his initial Maryland court appearance.
Beau Oglesby, state's attorney for Worcester County, said Burton was denied bail during the initial appearance, and is being held at the Worcester County Jail in Snow Hill.
At a bail hearing Aug. 17, Burton was ordered held without bond in Maryland. Oglesby said Burton appeared before Judge Gerald Purnell in Maryland District Court, represented by the Office of the Public Defender at the hearing.
Oglesby requested Burton be held without bond given his out-of-state address, attempts to fight extradition and the "very real danger" he poses to the community if allowed pretrial release.
Burton's Maryland attorney, Flynn Owens, has not yet filed paperwork in Worcester County to represent him. He is expected to represent Burton in future court appearances.
Following the hearing, Oglesby praised police and prosecutors in both Delaware and Maryland. "The cooperation and collaboration between the two jurisdictions has been seamless," he said.
No other court dates were set at press time.
Burton is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the death of Nicole Bennett, a 35-year-old wife and mother of three from Long Neck.
Bennett was last heard from June 14 as she worked at Bay Shore Community Church outside Gumboro. Burton was also working at the church that night as a part-time custodian.
Bennett was found dead along a rural road outside Whaleyville, Md., June 15. She died from asphyxiation, according to the Maryland Medical Examiner's Office.
After police found DNA evidence linking Burton to Bennett's death, a U.S. Marshal's Task Force arrested Burton outside Rehoboth Beach July 6.
Oglesby thanked the Office of The Attorney General for Delaware, Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, Worcester County Bureau of Investigation, Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division and Delaware State Police for their work and dedication.

PAILIN, Cambodia — O'treng village doesn't look like the epicenter of anything.
Just off a muddy, rutted-out road, it is nothing more than a handful of bamboo huts perched crookedly on stilts, tucked among a tangle of cornfields once littered with deadly land mines.
Yet this spot on the Thai-Cambodian border is home to a form of malaria that keeps rendering one powerful drug after another useless. This time, scientists have confirmed signs of resistance to the only affordable treatment left in the global medicine cabinet for malaria: artemisinin.
If this drug stops working, there's no good replacement to combat a disease that kills 1 million annually. Earlier this year, international medical leaders declared resistant malaria here a health emergency.
"This is not business as usual. It's something really special, and it needs a real concerted effort," said Dr. Nick White, a malaria expert at Mahidol University in Bangkok who has spent decades trying to eradicate the disease from Southeast Asia. "We know that children have been dying in Africa — millions of children have died over the past three decades — and a lot of those deaths have been attributed to drug resistance. And we know that the drug resistance came from the same place."
Malaria is just one of the leading killer infectious diseases battling back in a new and more deadly form, the Associated Press found in a six-month look at the soaring rates of drug resistance worldwide. After decades of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, diseases like malaria, tuberculosis and staph have started to mutate. The result: The drugs are slowly dying.
Already, the AP found, resistance to malaria has spread faster and wider than previously documented. White said virtually every case of malaria he sees in western Cambodia is now resistant to drugs. And in the Pailin area, patients given artemisinin take twice as long as those elsewhere to be clear of the parasite — 84 hours instead of the typical 48, and sometimes even 96.
Mosquitoes spread this resistant malaria quickly from shack to shack, village to village — and eventually, country to country.
And so O'treng, with its 45 poor families, naked kids, skinny dogs and boiling pots of rice, finds itself at the epicenter of an effort to stop a dangerous new version of an old disease.
• • •
Bundled in a threadbare batik sarong, 51-year-old Chhien Rern, one of O'treng's sick residents, sweats and shivers as a 103-degree fever rages against the malaria parasites in her bloodstream.
Three days ago, Chhien Rern started feeling ill while looking for work in a neighboring district. So she did what most rural Cambodians do: She walked to a little shop and asked for malaria medicine. With no prescription, she was handed a packet of pills — she's unsure what they were.
"After I took the drugs, I felt better for a while," she says. "Then I got sick again."
The headaches, chills and fever worsened. Chhien Rern's daughter persuaded her to take a motorbike taxi past washed out bridges and flooded culverts to the nearest hospital in Pailin, a dirty border town about 10 miles from O'treng.
Doctors say there's a good chance Chhien Rern was sold counterfeit drugs.
People generate drug-resistant malaria when they take too little medicine, substandard medicine or — as is all too often the case around O'treng — counterfeit medicine with a pinch of the real stuff. Once established, the drug-resistant malaria is spread by mosquitoes. So one person's counterfeit medicine can spawn widespread resistant disease.
The World Health Organization and Interpol formed a task force three years ago to try to stop counterfeiters, seizing millions of fake malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and other pills in Southeast Asia and Africa. But officials say the work is only as good as the countries' legal systems.
"One of the problems is that there's not really any enforcement, so what happens when they find a drug that's counterfeit or substandard?" asks David Sintasath, a regional epidemiologist at the nonprofit Malaria Consortium in Bangkok. "The policy is to take it away from them. That's good until the next month when they get their next shipment, right?"
Countless unlicensed shops in Cambodia sell artesunate, a single-drug therapy that has been banned in the country.
Artesunate, a modified version of artemisinin derived from a Chinese herb, has been hailed as miracle treatment worldwide because it works so well with so few side effects. But Cambodian surveys have shown that many patients take artesunate alone instead of mixing it with another antimalarial drug, making it easier for resistance to build.
"The drug has been around for a long time and misused for a long time and this is all encouraging the parasite to develop resistance," says Dr. Delia Bethell, of the U.S. Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Science, whose research has been at the forefront of identifying emerging resistance on the border.
• • •
Walk past O'treng's cluster of sagging huts, cross another cornfield and hike a twisted mile on a dirt track to a wooden shack where a string of smoke is curling through the wooden floor planks in a largely futile effort to keep mosquitoes away. It's here that skinny 13-year-old Hoeun Hong Da wakes up on the floor nauseous and burning with fever.
Hong Da recovered from malaria two months ago, but now the dizziness and headaches are back. He has been sickened by the disease six or seven times in his short life — too many to remember. He knows that if he doesn't get to a hospital soon, he could die.
With no new treatments in the pipeline, normally reserved scientists are quick to use words like "disaster" or "catastrophe" when asked what might happen if they don't contain the disease that's ravaging young Hong Da before it spreads to Africa. There, malaria already kills an estimated 2,000 children daily.
The concept of containing drug resistance has never been tried before. Scientists wonder: How do you control the spread of a resistant parasite transmitted by mosquitoes that bite people who live and work in infested jungle areas, then scatter in all directions, all the time?
This year, an army of aid agencies and experts from the WHO began racing to this impoverished corner on the Thai-Cambodian border to divvy up a $22.5 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed at stopping the virulent new strain found in Cambodia.
But grants haven't stopped lines of Cambodians, sick or not, from queuing up every morning at Thailand's border, charging past the checkpoints in search of work or goods. Some may carry resistant strains in, others may bring them home.
And grants haven't stopped the parasite from spreading in the O'treng area, despite widespread distribution of bed nets, awareness campaigns and enhanced surveillance systems. Some scientists say the only sure way to fix the problem is to eradicate malaria entirely from western Cambodia.
"It's really dangerous," says Dr. Rupam Tripura, who's conducting a study in Pailin for the Wellcome Trust-Mahidol University-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Program. "What will happen to the mosquitoes? Can you kill those living in the jungle? No, so you cannot kill the strain."
• • •
If O'treng is the epicenter of this emerging disease, Phoun Sokha is the point man aimed at controlling it.
At 47, Phoun Sokha is the village malaria worker who proudly displays an orange plastic kit that resembles a tackle box.
Phoun Sokha is serious about his packets of medicine and his rapid tests to prick blood from sick villagers' fingers to determine if they have malaria and if so, what type. He makes sure patients are taking their free medicines and checks to see if they're improving. If not, Phoun Sokha can arrange transportation to the hospital.
But treating O'treng's malaria patients can be frustrating.
"Some of the patients, when they went to the hospital, after one month, maybe they get malaria again," he says.
Today Hong Da, the village boy who has fought malaria so many times before, heads home from the hospital after a few days of treatment. He clutches a new mosquito net he hopes will prevent yet another infection. Together, the recovering boy and his weathered mom shuffle past sick neighbor Chhien Rern's shack before disappearing among the tassels of the cornfield toward their home.
But all is not well.
Under a tattered quilt, Hong Da's 9-year-old sister, Hoeun Chhay Meth, is curled on a thin mattress atop the wooden floor inside the family's open-air home.
She had malaria alongside her brother two months ago. They share a mosquito net that she burned a hole in when she stayed up one night reading by the light of a makeshift candle. Her brother thinks that's how the mosquitoes infected them.
"Very afraid of dying," says Chhay Meth, who has started taking medicine provided by the village malaria worker. "I feel worse than before. I cannot walk myself or stand up by myself and cannot eat well."
Like her big brother, this child doesn't know about counterfeit drugs or antimalarials.
She only knows she's sick. And the medicines don't seem to work as well any more.

The social networking site announced the new product called Home at an event at the company headquarters in Silicon Valley on Friday morning Australian time, ending months of speculation that Facebook was developing a phone.
Facebook founder and chief executive
"We're not building a phone and we're not building an operating system, but we are also building something that's a whole lot deeper than just an ordinary app," Zuckerberg says.
"We don't want to build some kind of phone or operating system that only a few people are going to use. A great phone might sell 10 or 20 million units at best and our community has more than 1 billion people in it, so even if we did a really good job building a phone we'd still only be serving one or two per cent of our community and we want to do more than that. We want to build the best experience for every person on every phone."
Zuckerberg says mobile is growing in importance and smartphone users spend triple the amount of time on Facebook than on any other app. He also points out that Facebook is a platform, as more than half of the top-grossing apps in the store plugged in and connected to Facebook.
The Home product integrates into the Android operating system so that it is always running in the background, bringing fresh content to the home screen and lock screen with a feature called Cover Feed. Other apps are launched from within Home.
A core feature of Home is a new instant messaging system called Chat Heads that handles both Facebook chat and regular text messages, meaning users don't need to exit an app to receive and respond to messages.
Privacy promise
Facebook's vice-president of engineering,
"We do random collection, from a very small number of users, of data to make sure that the app is performing well and we can tune it but that data is rapidly randomised and is only from a small percentage of users," Ondrejka says.
"Because we're a launcher we're able to know whether an app is launched, for example. That's the kind of data that understanding how well it's performing is important to knowing that Home's functioning correctly but that's the sort of data that we're only collecting from a small percentage of users and then randomising."
Ondrejka says Facebook is launching Home without any advertising or marketing but plans to introduce that down the track, in a similar way to News Feed.
While Home is mainly a service for consumers to interact with friends and family, Ondrejka adds that it has business utility for organisations that use tools like Facebook Groups for collaboration.
Why Android?
Facebook Home will be made available for download from the
Zuckerberg says the focus was on Android because its open architecture made Facebook's deep integration possible.
"The great thing about Android is that it's so open - it was designed carefully so you can improve almost any part of the system," he says.
"You don't need to fork Android to do this, you don't even need to modify the operating system really. Android was designed from the ground up to support these kind of deep integrations and because of Google's commitment to openness, you can have experiences on Android that you can't have on most other platforms."
People first, apps second
Zuckerberg says Home shifts the focus of the phone away from a disconnected series of apps to people's network of friends.
"Today our phones are designed around apps, not people," Zuckerberg says. "We want to flip that around to bring all this content to the front and also make it so you can use apps whenever you want.
"Your home screen of the phone is the soul of your phone, you look at it about 100 times a day and we think it should be deeply personal. With Home you see the world through people, not apps."
Zuckerberg likens the launch of Home to the launch of News Feed on the website back in 2006. Prior to this, the Facebook home page was just a list of apps for users to navigate.
"Instead of being a list of apps, News Feed made home a place for fresh content. It made home feel like a home, it brought it to life and gave it a soul," Zuckerberg says. "We all realised this was a much better way for us to consume content and, as a result, we all started consuming more content, about twice as much nearly overnight."

These personal testimonials explain why Lighthouse Christian School in Jacksonville, Florida is such a great school. Lighthouse Christian School is a private Christian school in Florida's First Coast area of Jacksonville and Orange Park. Lighthouse Christian School is designed for the child who sometimes learns differently. Many Christian Schools use "college prep" programs that are very fast paced. This type of program can't be concerned about the student who falls behind. Once a child is labeled as a failure in these programs it can have a very deep, long term, psychological impact on the child.

Pumpkin job scheme funding defended
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett is satisfied the hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' dollars spent on a Far North garden that allegedly reaped only one pumpkin was properly monitored.
The four-acre Community Max project pitched as employing eight unskilled young workers with two supervisors was part of a range of projects, including clerical and conservation work, undertaken by the "Social Development Services" organisation.
It was given a $317,278 subsidy to employ 24 workers.
One of those on the garden project, Glen Larkin, said Work and Income and Community Max people believed the project had done a good job.
The work done was worth more than the workers were paid six months on the minimum wage.
The ministry had said the garden was providing food to the elderly but, when 3News visited, there was only one pumpkin.
Another project, arranged by the City on a Hill Christian Church charitable trust in Kawerau, won $46,276 in funding to make linen for a marae. It got only as far as altering some secondhand clothes, 3News said last night.
The Social Development Ministry's assessment said: "The participants gained sewing skills to make their own clothing which they exhibited to the public of Kawerau at the end of the project.
"They were involved in sewing of marae linen [sheets, pillow cases, tea-towels and curtains]. They also gained driver's licences, first-aid certificates and OSH certification."
A spokeswoman for Bennett said the Ministry of Social Development looked into the two examples and within hours had information to show the programmes had been properly monitored and had tangible outcomes.
All the projects were part of the Government's Community Max scheme, which had engaged 4500 people so far.
Bennett said 70 per cent of those on the scheme had not gone back on a main benefit.
"There are hundreds of these programmes," Bennett's spokeswoman said.
"The reason for ComMax is not to build gardens but it is to keep young people engaged ... and learning skills."
Figures provided by the department show none of the seven people who worked on the linen project had gone back on a benefit.
Of the 24 workers on the Far North project, seven were back on a benefit.
Papers provided to The Dominion Post also show $18,360 was provided to Te Kahao Health to send text messages to defendants reminding them of court appearances.
Its assessment found: "SMS text messages were successfully sent to defendants." Fewer than six workers were employed and half remained off the benefit.
Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said the Community Max scheme was about giving young people work experience and getting them into jobs.
"The choice is just leave them on the scrap heap, do nothing, and hope that they will eventually find a job.
"We would hope that eventually those young people have still got something useful on their CV apart from playing on a PlayStation."
He said the Government would look at the effectiveness of the programmes when deciding whether to continue the funding.
"We need to make sure that they have been effective, it's certainly legitimate to be asking questions about whether they work, the alternative is not doing anything and that could be more damaging to young people."
In regards to the gardening project he said the important thing was not what was left behind.
"If you turn up eight months after the gardening project is finished, after the vegetables have been pulled out of the ground and given away and sold then you're likely to find it overgrown."
While some of the young people involved in the project were back on a benefit and others had left for Australia, some went into work.

Apperently, this pitcure was sent out to Gren Bay Pakcers fans who subsribe to NFL.com -- the oppoartunitee to by an Aaron Rogers jersye! Sorry, folks -- intentional typos there, as the manufacturer of that official game jersey forgot the "D" in Aaron Rodgers' name. So ... the manufacturer, the model, the photographer, the graphic artist who mocked the thing up, and whoever put the shot on the league's official website, all missed the fact that the last name of the NFL's best quarterback was misspelled. Might be time for a review of the review process?
[Yahoo! Sports Shop: Buy NFL jerseys and gear]
Ron Rivera sends Panthers players home from OTAs. No, nobody's in trouble -- Carolina's head coach had to send his players home to comply with the current collective bargaining agreement. "I went downstairs and said, 'OK, everybody who's been here since 7, you've got to go,'" Rivera said of the players about to violate the rule stating that players can spend no more than six hours at the team facility during Phase 3 of organized team activities. "So those guys got up and left." At this rate, Cam Newton will never learn to be a better teammate!
Tecmo Mario takes the field for Bills. According to new teammate Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Houston Texans and now Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams is showing the kind of speed off the edge not often seen outside the realms of virtual reality. "He looks like a Madden character you create when you sit there and up-up the strength, and the guy keeps growing," the quarterback said on Tuesday. "And then he's the fastest guy on the field, too." With Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcell Dareus and Mark Anderson, it's pretty certain that the Bills will field the NFL's best front four this season -- at least, on paper.
Larry Fitzgerald wants to get skinnier. The Cardinals' receiver is already one of the most fit, dedicated and explosive players in the game, but right now, that's not enough for him, and he cited his dad -- longtime football scribe Larry Fitzgerald Sr. -- as part of the reason. "I never like to be the guy who says, 'Do as I say, not as I do,'" Fitzgerald said, when asked how he's mentoring young receivers like rookie Michael Floyd. "I don't want to lead like that. If I ask you to do something, it's because I'm doing it, because I've done it and I believe it's going to help ... You've seen my dad. I don't mean that in a derogatory way, but he's not a little man by any stretch of the imagination. I can't play receiver at that weight." No, but you can write about football at "that weight."

Blume was 13 years old 50 years ago today when the Komets clinched their first Turner Cup championship. As soon as Fort Wayne's Game 5 win over Minneapolis was complete, Blume jumped onto the ice to join the celebration.
``It was the era when there was no glass around the rink,'' Blume said. ``When the Komets won the cup, the fans could just storm the ice like they do in NCAA basketball today. It was mostly people who were my age. I was 14 at the time. I just sort of jumped onto the ice and the Komets are celebrating and sticks are flying up into the air.
``It was just laying on the ice. As I see most of the kids were going after the sticks, I saw the puck laying there and just picked it up.''
Because there was no glass, Blume and friends used to get autographs from players during warm-ups. There was a lot more familiarity and conversations between the fans and players who also did not wear helmets.
``You'd have a row of kids waiting there,'' Blume said. ``The players would just come over and sign your program. In some ways that's a much different era in that the fan-player interaction was so much better than it is now. It kind of made it nice.''
Blume kept the championship puck until he ran into former Komets owner and business manager Colin Lister at the McMillen Park Ice Arena a few years ago. He asked Lister if he'd be interested in the puck.
``This was probably five or six years ago,'' Blume said. ``When I was playing for the Midget Komets, Colin was the coach. I approached him and then I went home and brought it back. Colin was so excited about having that puck.''
Lister, who died Dec. 31, 2010, kept the puck with the hoard of memorabilia from his hockey and baseball careers. His good friend Marcia Cuff found it recently in a truck of Lister's belongings.
The puck has a red International Hockey League decal on one side, though parts have chipped off over the years. The other side has Blume's 13-year-old handwriting on a sticker that says, ``1992-1963, Turner Cup, Championship puck.''
Cuff said she's going to have to put into a display case and then present it to the Komets.

Thanks to reduced valuations
Approximately 660,000 property taxpayers will be rubbing their eyes in disbelief when they scan their bills and find the amount due is less rather than more, compared to last year's. One reason is Prop. 13 provides that taxes can only be raised a max of 2 percent of the assessed valuation and according to the Cal Consumer Index it is less this year for the first time in eons. However, assessed valuations have not dropped in some areas, the Surfside City, for example. A second reason is some 190,000 owners were successful in having their property reassessed due to current real estate conditions. Overall, the total countywide property value is $393 billion.
Candidate filing period
According to Flower Capital City Clerk Deborah Cervone, council aspirants have until Aug. 6 to file for the Nov. 2 election. It's Aug. 11 if no incumbents apply. However, Teresa Barth and Tony Kranz have already announced they are running. A four-page fact sheet with all the rules, regs, dos and don'ts is available from the city clerk's office or city's website. This information varies in each city so it's wise to check in advance. There is still time to register to vote. Deadline is Oct. 18.
Looking ahead
Dates have been announced for a pair of year-end activities at the fairgrounds. The 16th annual Holiday of Lights with more than 400 animated lighted scenes bows Thanksgiving Day eve and continues, Thursday through Sunday, through Jan. 2. Scream Zone that can be a terrifying experience opens for the 13th year beginning Sept 24. and continues through Halloween night, Oct. 31.
Bond measure
That $11 billion water bond measure will not appear on the November ballot at the request of the Governator. He sensed this year's vote would be less than favorable. As can be expected, state electeds have loaded it with pork barrel projects.
County budget OK'd
A $4.9 billion county budget has been approved on time and 3 percent smaller than the old one. According to published reports it reflects cutbacks in child welfare and substance abuse programs, work force reductions involving more than 500 jobs and anticipated state mandates when state electeds get around to passing the already past due budget.
Irrigation district to expand
When engineering design is completed, Rancho Santa Fe Irrigation District will be able to expand its recycled water system. Currently it's going to street medians, the golf course, parks and landscape areas. It will serve Fairbanks Ranch.
Natives are restless
Lotsa Costa Mesa residents are up in arms about the possible sale of the Orange County Fairgrounds to a City Joint Power Authority. They don't trust the closed-door sessions and backroom dealings that have been going on.
Bucking the tide
Mindful that voters are in no mood to spend money during current economic conditions, Encinitas Union School District nevertheless has scheduled a $44 million bond vote for consideration in November. Sez it needs dough for such items as improvements to a multi-purpose room at Capri Elementary, replacing portable classrooms at Ocean Knoll, and building a learning center and outdoor science lab. It wouldn't be wise to gamble the family heirlooms on bond approval. It's a doozie.
Retired but now interim manager
Flower Capital City Manager Phil Cotton, who retired the first week in July, will return to his office after a long vacation in the capacity of interim majordomo until the job is filled after the election according to pronouncements. The all-male troika has indicated it will search far and wide for a permanent manager.
Seal suit
Harbor City Mayor Jerry Sanders announced that installing a rope barrier to separate the public from the seals that are poaching on the Children's Pool at La Jolla Cove will go through the normal process — which means it could take several weeks. Maybe a month or more. Now a lawyer who is representing a coppla animal rights groups has taken hizzoner to court saying that the emergency mandate meted out by a judge duzzn't provide for slow motion.
Make 'em pay
Hoodlums who trashed the area around Staples arena in L.A. after the Lakers won a national championship should be tossed in the slammer and kept there until they have paid every dollar for the damage they did, which has been estimated will run into the millions.
No rest
If O'side's newest council elected Chuck Lowery plans to run for a four-year term in four months (indications are he does) he'll have to divide his precious time between continuing his campaign and tending to crucial city bizness. No public word yet whether Lloyd Prosser, his opponent in the recent race, will be running again. Likely he will be.
Nan Sterman, an authority on water-saving tips and edible gardens, is lecturing and teaching classes throughout the Golden State … Looking to the future, Surfside City electeds have decided that future election ties will be a decided by drawing straws, which is not a new idea but worthwhile at this time when the city is in the financial shorts … Solbeach city electeds are anticipating an 11 percent boost in sales tax revenue … Susan Roberts, a financial pro, has joined Del Mar Foundation's board of directors … U.S. Congressman Brian Bilbray has challenged his opponent, Francine Busby, to at least three debates … North Coast Repertory, based in Solbeach, is selling tix for its seven-program season that begins Sept. 1 with "Becky's New Car" … Surfside City Mayor Richard Earnest likely won't be a council candidate this time around.
Hasta la Vista

It's a tale of two sides.
The New Orleans Saints 45-17 defeat of the Carolina Panthers last season is still on the minds of both teams. For the Saints, the game was a once-in-a lifetime chance to break several records. But for the Panthers, it was sign of disrespect.
There will be no love lost between the two division rivals when they meet at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. this weekend.
The Times-Picayune: Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma will meet with commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday. Saints tackle Jermon Bushrood had some words about the Saints-Panthers rivalry in this video. The Saints beat writers talk about the upcoming game in this week's Black and Gold report.
The Charlotte Observer: Some of the Panthers defensive players who sat out the last meeting of the teams with injuries wouldn't mind getting a little revenge. It wouldn't hurt to have running back Jonathan Stewart back on their side. Stewart participated fully in practice Wednesday for the first time in three weeks after spraining his ankle.
ESPN.com: ESPN's Adam Schefter talks about the upcoming meeting with Goodell. The commissioner isn't likely to back down on his stance, writes NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Tokyo, Japan, 2014/10/15 - NEC Corporation has developed a first-of-its-kind (*1) blood pressure measurement technology that enables high-precision blood pressure measurements with a low application of pressure (stress). NEC; TSE: 6701
This new technology provides high-precision blood pressure measurements that can be applied for medical use while removing the need to apply pressure to the arm above the systolic blood pressure, which is essential when taking conventional measurements. This is accomplished by analyzing the waveform of the subject's pulse and predicting blood flow changes. Moreover, in addition to reducing the size of the blood pressure cuffs (i.e., inflatable bag) used for blood pressure measurement, NEC has also integrated the mechanisms that are separate from the arm cuff, such as the pump and power supply, into a single unit.
Against the recent background of sharply rising medical costs associated with aging populations, it has become increasingly important to manage illnesses while at their mild stages in order to prevent an increase in severity. This is particularly true with hypertension (high blood pressure), where the number of people with uncontrolled hypertension rose from 600 million in 1980 to nearly 1 billion in 2008 (*2). If left untreated, hypertension can cause more serious conditions such as heart disease and cranial nerve disease, making its management at the mild stages important.
In addition, blood pressure data is utilized as an important indicator in the management and prevention of adult onset diseases and cerebral vascular disease (such as strokes and subarachnoid hemorrhage), some of the leading causes behind people requiring nursing care. As blood pressure can vary significantly throughout the day, such as in the early morning, daytime and while sleeping, as well as at other times, such as "white coat hypertension" (anxiety enhanced-blood pressure when consulting with a medical professional) and workplace hypertension, there has been a demand for the ability to take blood pressure measurements continuously throughout the day. However, since measurement techniques that apply strong pressure to the arm can impede daily life and sleep, and attaching equipment can be cumbersome, there is a need for more user-friendly equipment.
Working in conjunction with Professor Osamu Tochikubo of the Yokohama City University School of Medicine, NEC has developed a low-pressure blood pressure measurement technology that is able to take high-precision blood pressure measurements with a low application of pressure. This is done using a unique algorithm that estimates the change in blood flow with a pressure applied to the blood vessels that is weak enough not to block the flood of blood. This allows a blood pressure measurement device to be worn throughout the day in order to periodically record blood pressure measurements.
"With this technology, NEC has made it possible to obtain blood pressure data throughout the day, including work, recreation and sleeping hours, without placing a heavy burden on patients with constricting pressure and cumbersome devices," said Yuichi Nakamura, General Manager of Green Platform Research Laboratories, NEC Corporation.

Liquidity risk is the ultimate operational risk
Daily news headlines
LONDON – "Liquidity risk should be considered the ultimate operational risk rather than a standalone risk," said Philippe Carrel, an executive vice-president in the trade and risk management division at Thomson Reuters at a briefing on liquidity risk in Canary Wharf in London on August 5. He also called for the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to set up a liquidity data group to collect data on banks' risk exposure and asset allocation. This data could then be published as a guide to allow banks to gain a better picture of the market.
Carrel's assessment of current risk management techniques was scathing. He suggested everything already known about risk management should be discarded, stating Basel II is "out of the window" and that until now "risk was just reported, and clumsily reported at that". Risk management "requires more quantitative and qualitative research, as systemic risks have been created where regulators forced banks to use the same methods of stress testing," Carrel said.
Much has been said in the operational risk space on the pro-cyclicality of the advanced measurement approach to operational risk under Basel II. And in this regulators are pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place. The internationalisation of financial services means regulators must work more closely together to properly supervise individual firms and in doing so they have developed and shared best practices for risk management. As a result, firms are gradually adopting similar approaches to risk, to meet regulatory approval. Which means that firms are all acting similarly in times of crisis. This goes beyond procyclicality.
During all of the conferences and speeches given by regulators during this first half of the year, it was made clear the regulators are aware of all of this and are moving towards plugging the gaps – but they are moving all too slowly for some and more guidance on effective risk management needs to be more swiftly forthcoming, if not from the regulators, then from industry vendors.

As the proposed grand architectural projects of the 1990's fade from the horizon -- the Whitney, the Guggenheim and Lincoln Center have all backed off ambitious plans by world-famous architects over the past few months -- one modest museum is trying not to appear smug as it chugs determinedly forward.
The trustees of the New Museum of Contemporary Art announced yesterday that they had chosen an architect to build a new home on the Bowery that they hope will eventually stand for the next big thing. ''We resisted the temptation to go with a big name right now,'' said Lisa Phillips, the director of the museum. ''It's not what we're about. We're an under-the-radar institution committed to discovery and risk taking.''
The architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA in Tokyo were selected in a limited competition that involved five firms deemed by insiders to be among the most promising younger talent at work in Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Britain and the United States. The others considered were Reiser & Umemoto RUR Architecture of Manhattan, Adjaye Associates of London, Abalos & Herreros of Madrid and Gigon & Guyer of Zurich.
Anthony Vidler, dean of the Cooper Union School of Architecture, said in an e-mail message that the New Museum had made ''a magnificent choice.'' He said that Ms. Sejima, the principal architect, ''has taken the tradition of modernist minimalism and typical plans, as developed by someone like Mies van der Rohe, and joined it to the tradition of the precise and elegant use of materials, to continue the tradition of 'transparency' in an entirely new form.''
The $35 million museum is to be built at a site that is now a parking lot between Stanton and Rivington streets. With 60,000 square feet, it will double the size of the present museum, now housed in a patchwork of condominiums on Broadway near Prince Street. Financing is to come from a capital campaign and from the sale of those condominiums.Continue reading the main story
Ms. Phillips said that a Chelsea site was briefly contemplated but dismissed because access to public transportation was too distant, and because Chelsea had ''already exceeded critical mass.'' What's more, she said, after the Sept. 11 attacks the museum decided it was important to remain in Lower Manhattan.
Ms. Sejima and Mr. Nishizawa are better known in Europe and Asia than in the United States, where their first commission, an addition for the famed glass collection of the Toledo Art Museum in Ohio, is under construction. Known for instilling a minimalist aesthetic with an inner glow, they have also developed the prototype for the Prada cosmetic stores. The Contemporary Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan, and a shop for Chrisian Dior in Tokyo are being built. In addition to several museums, homes and two pachinko parlors in Japan, they are now completing the design for an extension to the Institute of Modern Art in Valencia, Spain.
James Polshek, the Manhattan architect of the Rose Center for Earth and Space and an adviser to the New Museum selection committee, said Ms. Sejima's work was ''surgically precise but poetic.''
But the winning design for the new museum will not be shown until it has been completed next fall. In an interview last week Ms. Phillips spoke about not wanting to court the kind of disappointment that inevitably results when fancy models decked out in the highest hopes are announced to great trumpeting, only to be shelved or altered beyond recognition afterward.
The shouts that went up in the press about Daniel Libeskind's adjusting details for his designs at the World Trade Center site are only the most recent instance of the phenomenon. ''I just didn't want to go there,'' Ms. Phillips said.
She did say that the architects were asked to be creative in the use of recycled materials as well as to provide high column-free spaces and plenty of natural light.
Others on the selection committee provided a few more salient details of the winning design. Mr. Polshek described a composition of stacked boxes reminding him of the gritty shipping containers along the New Jersey Turnpike, only here rendered into something beautiful.
Richard Gluckman, the architect of the Dia Center for the Arts in Chelsea and also an architectural adviser to the New Museum, said he had been impressed by how the boxes were staggered in such a way as to make the building appear ''to obliterate'' the zoning requirements for setbacks while actually staying within the code. The unusual composition, he said, also allowed for natural light to pour in without having to resort to transparent walls. And that could be a benefit on the famously down-at-heel Bowery.Continue reading the main story

I was doing some research on a particular activity this week... head rolls. Not the soft round things one puts under one's neck to maintain the curve while supine, but the act of rolling the head around as an exercise or activity. I did this because I read an article in the popular press that said, "even physiotherapists say you shouldn't do head rolls anymore. They're too dangerous!" I thought about it, and although I haven't prescribed this for someone in recent memory (or at all that I can think of), I wanted to see if there was evidence to support the statement.
In terms of hard evidence, I came up with nothing. I did come up with pages of discussion on the topic from the members' section of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) though. Comments ranged from "Under no circumstances should anyone, ever do this!" to "If the body wasn't meant to move that way, it probably wouldn't." Granted, I probably accelerated the OA in my own neck by way too many Friday nights in the East Village of New York in the 1980s dancing the pogo and whipping my head around. Ah youth! There were a few reasoned discussions about athletes, dancers, and even jet pilots who would need to perform this activity to be able to function. Still a few physios held onto the belief that if an activity has any risk, it should be discouraged.
Since when have we become the profession of "Don't"? Shouldn't we be the profession of "Do... but do it right!" Our job is not to wrap every patient in cotton wool and tell them to avoid injury by avoiding doing things. Personal trainers, fitness "experts" and yoga instructors are teaching people how to keep doing things. (Oh, I just started yoga two months ago. Apparently I'm flirting with certain death according to some of the physios). These professionals may or may not be giving good information, but they are reaching the people we are not. Remember my post about working proactively and toward prevention? One good example of how we're not embracing that mindset on the whole.
So lets embrace, "I can help you do that better and safer!" whether it be a break dancer in the Bronx or a pensioner who wants to go shopping in Brighton. We are the ones for the job.
Do take my advice on the pogo though... don't revive it, it really isn't good for one's neck.

Physical therapists develop better injury screening tools.
The problem with evidence is someone actually has to do the research and that research has to be publishable. Now days research is geared to what will be published rather than what we need to know. Very rarely is negative research, as in this won't be dangerous, be published.
We need to use common sense and remember to do things correctly.

ST. PETERSBURG — A car battery charger may have sparked the Monday morning fire that heavily damaged a $400,000 waterfront home in Yacht Club Estates, according to firefighters.
Despite heavy rains at the time, several neighbors reported seeing smoke and flames at the home at 1237 79th St. S at 8:19 a.m., according to St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Lt. Joel Granata.
Firefighters searched the inside but no one was home. Foam and water were used to extinguish the blaze, which was out in 30 minutes.
Investigators believe the fire started in the garage and spread to the rest of the 1,492 square foot home. Inside the garage was a 2000 Audi A 4 that was left on a battery charge by the home's caretaker. Investigators believe that may have been the source of the fire.
The home had a caretaker because the owners no longer live there. The husband died a few years ago, according to Fire Rescue, and his wife is now in a nursing home.
The home suffered an estimated $60,000 in damage. The Audi, which was in pristine condition with just 13,500 miles, was destroyed in the fire. The home had no working smoke detectors, Granata said.

Knicks Top Celtics 89-86
ABC Digital
National Sports
Updated at
(BOSTON) — There was no altercation between Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony, and the Knicks finally won in Boston.
J.R. Smith had a big three-poionter late to lead the New York Knicks past the Boston Celtics, 89-86 at the TD Garden on Thursday night.
Much was made of the last time the two teams met, when Anthony got into a scuffle with Garnett and waited outside the Celtic's bus to have more words with him. This time, there was no such animosity.
"No grudges between me and KG. Whatever happened, happened," Anthony said. "We spoke about it and it's over."
Anthony let his play do the talking as he scored 28 points to go along with nine rebounds to help the Knicks (26-14) stop an 11-game losing streak in Boston.
The Celtics (20-22) got a triple-double from Rajon Rondo of 23 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Hajiar Abdul Caffoor & Noordeen Hajiar Abdul Cader
Arabs who settled in the maritime coast, particularly in Beruwela, had expert
knowledge of gems and precious stones. They penetrated into the gemming centers
and did considerable mining for these precious stones. The ancestors of Abdul
Caffoor started gemming in this area. They took their stones to Colombo
where the Arab navigators bought Ceylon produce in the warehouses of the "Yons"
or "Yonakas", later known as "Moors".
family made Colombo their permanent residence and continued their gemming
activities at Asthen Korale at Eheliyagoda. The earliest known record of Abdul
Caffoor's ancestors name in a public document is in 1840
where Samosothen Lebbe Cassim Lebbe appears in a list of seventy
four contributors for the purchase of a property for Maradana Mosque.
Lebbe had several sons:-
Noordeen Hajiar - father of N.D.H.Abdul Hameed, Caffoor, Careem, Cader
& Wahab
Samsudeen Shroff Mudaliyar of Colombo Kachcheri - father of Haji Cassim,
a Trustee of Maradana Mosque, who had two sons, Mohideen Cassim and Ilyas Cassim
Rahmatullah alias Periya Thamby - father of P.T.M.Kiyas of St. Joseph's
Street, Grandpass
Abdul Rahman - father of Dr. A.R.M.Waffarn
Lebbe's male lineal
ascendants in reverse chronological order are:-
Lebbe - Bahaudeen - Noordeen - Rahmatullah - Abdul Rahman
Lebbe married the widow
Ummu Hany, a daughter of Oduma Lebbe Marikar Sekadi Marikar. She was
the younger sister of S.M. Cassim Lebbe Marikar (Mudaliyar).
Hajiar, besides carrying on his own business, was one of the Commissioners
selected by the Municipality to value Colombo properties for the recovery of
brother, Samsudeen Shroff Mudaliyar, carried the stately features of the
Arab origin of his family that Governor Gregory and Lord Stanley doubted that he
was a native of Ceylon, based on his appearance. Another brother was Sheikh
Abdul Cader Marikar, Shroff of the Treasury and grandfather of Nazli
Samsudeen (Duke). Another son was C.L.Rahmatullah, alias Periya
Thamby, a gem merchant in whose shop Abdul Caffoor learnt the gem
Caffoor started his gems and
jewellery business at Bristol Hotel building in 1894. He had special permission
to board the ships that called at the Colombo harbour and sell his gems and
jewellery to the sailors. By special command, Abdul Caffoor was allowed
the privilege of exhibiting pearls, diamonds, rubies and sapphires and art works
to the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Kandy Pavilion, during their Royal
visit in 1901. His stall was given a prominent place at the Wembley Exhibition
in 1924 and Her Majesty Queen Mary
personally visited his pavillion and made purchases. It was by sheer merit that
he achieved success.
his own expense he took part in a series of world exhibitions which, while
increasing his own reputation, brought publicity to the Island. Some of the
exhibitions in which he participated were, the St. Louis Exhibition in USA in
1903, All Ceylon Exhibition in 1912, the British Expire Exhibition in 1924
and the Philadelphia Exhibition in 1925. His gems were considered some of
the finest collections to be exhibited in the USA. When he returned to Ceylon
after the Wembley Exhibition, the then Governor of Ceylon congratulated him on
"the valuable work done".
the many Muslim institutions that benifited from Abdul Caffoor's
philanthrophy was the Zahira College. He built and equipped a complete Science
block, in addition to building sixteen classrooms for the school. Further he
donated a sum of Rs. 100,000 to
inaugurate a building scheme for Zahira College Hostel and also donated 18
acres of land at Maharagama to be utilized for practical schools. The
branch schools of Zahira College also received his generous gifts, as also many
Mosques throughout the Island, the Deaf and Blind School at Ratmalana, and the
Boy's Industrial School at Maharagama. The major cost of building Masjid
Muhiyadeen at Messenger Street, Colomso, with its striking Minarets and
Saracenic horeshoe arches, was borne by him.
in 1932, he established a Muslim Theological Institute, known as the Ghaffooria
Arabic College, for the study of Arabic, at Maharagama. He has endowed the
institute with a premises at Grandpass valued at five hundred thousand rupees.
The Ghaffoor Trust has been established for the purpose of promoting the
education of Muslims. It is endowed with the Gaffoor building in the Fort,
valued at four million rupees.
His Excellency Governor General Sir Henry Moore unveiled the portrait of Abdul
Caffoor at Zahira College on March 1, 1949, he said, "that the
portrait would not only be a lasting memorial but also serve as an encouragement
to others to emulate him". Further His Excellency said,
"Wherever he travelled, he maintained the highest traditions of business
and promoted the best interests of Ceylon, and, despite his great business
acumen andthe wealth he acquired, he lived a simple life according to the devout
Muslim tradition, and he was always happy to share his wealth with the needy and
the less fortunate".
A.M.A.Azeez, Principal of Zahira College, said referring to Abdul Caffoor,
charity was not the kind that was alloyed with local or Imperial honours or with
places in the Councils of the realm. In his charity there was no ostentation
displayed and there was no applause sought. In the true Muslim way he concealed
his charity so much that his left hand did not know what his right hand
him to the Carnegies and the Rocerfellers, Mr. Azeez added that he had
not only given abundantly in his lifetime but had also provided for abundant
giving even after his death.
an incident in which the late Abdul Caffoor had proved his integrity and
sense of fair play, Mr. A.F.Molamure, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
stated at a meeting at Zahira College, that, as a businessman it was difficult
to find his equal in honesty. His father had offered a stone to Abdul Caffoor
and had wanted forty five thousand rupees for it. Abdul Caffoor had given
him sixty five thousand insisting that that was its correct value.
the Memorandum of the Ceylon Moor's Association to the Chairman and Members of
the Royal Commission on Constitutional Reform, submitted on January 20, 1945,
the following reference is made to the munificence of Abdul Caffoor: "the
endowment of a property worth 20 lakhs
of rupees in the heart of the city of Colombo by a Ceylon Moor as gift to the
nation is unprecedented in the history of the Island".
a lecture in 1945, at the Moor's Islamic Cultural Home, Dr. W. Balendra LMS (Cey),
FRCS, LDS (Eng), LRCP (London), referring to Abdul Caffoor stated,
come up to this Island from abroad. When the ship approaches the harbour I have
come several times and what is it you find the Gem Palace (Gem Museum) standing
over-looking the harbour. You go past from the harbour and you go along Galle
Face and you find a series of flats, the creation of Moor business integrity,
but there is something more in the Gem Palace"
is a man, a native of this Island, creating wealth from unpolished stones,
taking these stones to far off lands in New York, Paris and other parts of the
world, bringing wealth to this country, putting up buildings (Caffoor Building)
which are some of the highest in this land, but at the end giving a part of his
wealth for the benefit of his fellow-men. A civilization which can produce such
a man is a very high type of civilization".
is different from the civilization of the other races of the world. It is a
civilization which asks you to look forward to some other world, a civilization
which advises you to exploit the useful to man, and after exploiting it, after
using it, not to possess it but to divide it among the fellow-men is a very high
type of civilization".
Caffoor had a unique
collection of precious stones and jewellery. In 1929
Abdul Caffoor established a Gem Museum at Church Street, Fort,
Colombo. Sir Herbert Stanley, then Governor, when opening he Museum paid tribute
to him for his presentation for permanent exhibition, at the Imperial Institute,
South Kensington, of a valuable exhibit of Ceylon stones.
devotion to religion was deep and profound. He never missed his daily prayers
even when travelling in mid winter and his entire life was characterized by
piety. He had travelled extensively around the world and he visited the placeses
of Islamic interest in Makkah, Madinah, Damascus, Baghdad, Cairo and India. many
travellers enjoyed his lavish hospitality during their stay in Colombo.

remembered, besides other things, for his philanthropy. His name is well known

Hajiar Muhammad Abdul Cader b:10-Feb-1879, d:29-Aug-1938
Hajiar Muhammad Abdul Cader
was the younger brother of Noordeen Hajiar Abdul Caffoor. He was educated
at Wesley College. He continued his studies and qualified as a Proctor &
Notary Public in 1907.
Cader led a full life. He
was one of the leading proctors of the day and represented the Muslims in the
Legislative Council for fifteen years. He was Senior Municipal Councillor at the
time of his death. He was also the President of the All ceylon Muslim League at
a critical period of its history. As a businessman he was one of the pioneers of
the cinema business in Ceylon.
Cader succeeded W.M.Abdul
Rahman as the Muslim Member of the Legislative Council in 1915. He was in
the center of every activity whcih concerned the Muslim community. He was always
ready to enter the fray and fearless in expressing his sentiments and feelings.
Cader entered the Colombo
Municipal Council for the Pettah Ward in 1908
and continued to be a member for the next thirty years, and except during
the last term in council, He was always returned uncontested. Among his
contemporaries were outstanding men like Sir James Peiris, Arthur Alvis, Hector
Jayawardena, T.L.Villiers, C.P.Dias and H.L.de Mel. Member Legislative Council
1916-1930. Manager Zahira College 1921-1938.
in the Legislative and Municipal Councils, Abdul Cader advocated equal
educational facilities for Muslims as was available for the more progressive
communities in the Island. He was convinced that there can be no progress
without education even if the boys in the families inherited their fathers
business. His eldest son, Dr. Marzook Abdul Cader, who passed away at the
early age of 49, had a brilliant career in England and qualified as an ENT
position as President of the Muslim League was never challenged while he held
it. In all negotiations with the Government and with other communities for
constitutional reform, the views of the Muslim League commanded respect with a
man like him at the helm.
was also President of the Maradana Mosque Executive Committee for twenty five
years, taking over from Aboobucker Lebbe Marikar Ibrahim Lebbe Marikar
(uncle of M.L.M.Reyal ex MMC Colombo). In 1921
he became the Manager of Zahira College, the leading Muslim school in the
Island. The College progressed rapidly under his capable management and the
principalship of Mr. T.B.Jayah.
in Muslim areas received much less Government help than they do today. Abdul
Cader introduced a motion in the Legislative Council for an annual grant of Rs.
150,000 towards the promotion of
education among Muhammadans. The motion seconded by K. Balasingham was defeated.
However the motion succeeded in obtaining a grant of Rs 25,000
from the Government for Zahira College.
Cader represented the
Muslims in the Legislative Council from 1915
to 1931, safeguarding their interests with great care and watchfulness,
while undertaking more than his fair share of work in matters pertaining to the
welfare of his country.
was a popular member, noted for his sturdy independence, tenacity and outspoken
views. It was mainly due to him that the Muslim marriage Ordinance was enacted.
In educational and religious matters he was a tower of strength to his
his bluntness led him into trouble, as when he was sued for libel after he had
denounced, in the legislative Council, a high official for what is believed was
an injustice done to a Muslim doctor. He fought the case until the intervention
of the Colonial Secretary, Sir Arthur Fletcher, led to a settlement. As a result
of the case, Sir Vaitilingam Duraiswamy introduced in the Legislative Council a
bill to confer immunity, on all speeches and statements made in the Council,
from the process of the Courts.
all things he did, Abdul Cader showed determination and foresight. He
foresaw a successful field of activity for his sons in the cinema business and
his sons have more than justified the confidence reposed on them.
Cader's statement at an
interview to the Ceylon Independent in 1917
is very characteristic of the man,
among the Muhammadans, they had a very undesirable system of charity, that of
giving feasts of Kanduri, with no beneficial results. It would certainly be
charity if the poor are fed, but that is not what is done at these feasts. Men
like myself, others equally prosperous, are feted. I have not the slightest
objection to the feeding of the poor, but my experience has been that the poor
are the least thought of at these feasts, so called charity. A portion of the
money spent on these feasts may with advantage be diverted to better purposes,
such as education".

civilians but hearts of all other communities in the island by his service
rendered through the community development projects and social service.
Being a close associate, I have worked
with him for 45 years. I greatfully
remember the services he rendered to the community being a founder member of All
Ceylon Muslim League. He started his political career as Member of Colombo
Municipal Council and became Mayor of Colombo, Member of Parliament and Deputy
Minister of Health and Rural Industrial Development.

text: Elections panel votes to defend public campaign financing By Phil Kabler July 31, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In an emergency meeting Tuesday, the state Elections Commission unanimously voted to defend the constitutionality of a Supreme Court campaign public financing pilot project."The idea is the commission, by unanimous vote, will defend this law," commission Chairman Robert Rupp said following the meeting.During a brief public meeting following a lengthy executive session, Rupp called for the motion, stating, "I ask that the Election Commission actively defend the constitutionality of the matching-funds law passed by the Legislature, and defend it both in the state and federal courts."That vote came one day after state Supreme Court candidate Allen Loughry, a Republican, petitioned the high court to order the commission to release a $144,471 matching payment he is eligible to receive as part of a "rescue" provision in the state law.Loughry, a Supreme Court clerk and the only participant in the public campaign financing project, was initially awarded $350,000 for the general election campaign, and under the law, is eligible to draw down an additional $400,000 to match spending by opponents in the general election.On July 17, the Elections Commission deadlocked in a 2-2 tie on a motion to award a $144,471 rescue payment to Loughry, to match the $494,471 that incumbent Justice Robin Davis, a Democrat, reported spending through June 30 for the general election.That deadlock was prompted by concerns over a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned a matching-funds provision in an Arizona public campaign financing law as a violation of the free-speech rights of the other candidates. Following that vote, Charleston attorney Anthony Majestro filed suit in U.S. District Court to have the matching-funds provision in the West Virginia law declared unconstitutional. Majestro is campaign attorney for Supreme Court candidate Tish Chafin, a Democrat.In a statement released Tuesday, Loughry applauded the commission's action."I want to thank the State Election Commission members for their unanimous 4-0 vote today to defend the constitutionality of the pilot program law," Loughry stated. "Given their unanimous vote in support of this law, I am asking the commission to immediately authorize the release of the funds to my campaign."He added, "The intent of the law was to make judicial elections fair, and to eliminate the perception that Supreme Court seats are being bought by attorneys who practice before the court or by individuals or groups who spend millions of dollars to elect justices."Loughry is being represented by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law and Huntington attorney Marc Williams.The Elections Commission also unanimously approved a motion asking that their attorney act to expedite the matter before the Supreme Court.It was not immediately clear whether justices of the court would need to recuse themselves in the case. Besides Davis' status as an opposing candidate, Loughry has clerked for Justice Margaret Workman.Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.
