Bank of China Limited (simplified Chinese: 中国银行; traditional Chinese: 中國銀行; pinyin: Zhōngguó Yínháng; often abbreviated as 中银 or 中行) is one of the big four state-owned commercial banks of the People's Republic of China.
It was founded in 1912 by the Republican government to replace the Imperial Bank of China. It is the oldest bank in China still in existence. From its establishment until 1942, it issued banknotes on behalf of the Government along with the "Big Four" banks of the period: the Farmers Bank of China, Bank of Communications and Central Bank of the Republic of China. Although it initially functioned as the Chinese central bank, in 1928 the Central Bank of China replaced it in that role. Subsequently, BOC became a purely commercial bank. Its headquarters are in Xicheng District, Beijing.[2]
As at 2009, it was the second largest lender in China overall, and the 5th largest bank in the world by market capitalization value.[3]
Bank of China's history goes back to 1905, when the Qing government established Daqing Hubu Bank[4] (in Chinese: 大清户部銀行) in Beijing, which was in 1908 renamed to Daqing Bank (in Chinese: 大清銀行). When the Republic of China was established in 1912, it was further renamed as Bank of China by President Sun Yat-sen's government, adding a new role of the central bank.[5]
After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, the Bank of China effectively split into two operations. Part of the bank relocated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang (KMT) government. It was privatised in 1971 to become the International Commercial Bank of China (中國國際商業銀行). It has subsequently merged with the Taiwan Bank of Communications (Chiao Tung Bank, 交通銀行) to become the Mega International Commercial Bank (兆豐國際商業銀行). The Mainland operation is the current entity known as the Bank of China.
It is the second largest lender in China overall, and the 5th largest bank in the world by market capitalization value.[3] Once 100% owned by the central government, via Central Huijin Investment and National Council for Social Security Fund (SSF), an IPO of its shares took place in June 2006, the free float is at present over 26%. In the Forbes Global 2000 it ranked as the 21st-largest company in the world.[6][7]
It is the most international of China's banks, with branches on every inhabited continent. Outside of mainland China, BOC also operates in 27 countries including Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Russia, Hungary, United States, Panama, Brazil, Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Bahrain, Zambia, South Africa, and a branch office in the Cayman Islands.[8] In December 2010, the Bank of China New York branch began offering RMB products for Americans.[9] It was the first major Chinese bank to offer such a product.
Although it is present in the above countries/territories, its operations outside China accounted for less than 4% of the activity of the bank by both profits and assets. Mainland China accounts for 60% of the bank by profits and 76% by assets as at December 2005.[citation needed]

Hong Kong[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2013) |
BOC started operations in Hong Kong in 1917 and has become a major player there.[citation needed] It became note-issuing bank Hong Kong in 1994; in Macao, it received note-issuing status in 1995.
In 2001, BOC regrouped its Hong Kong operations into Bank of China (Hong Kong); then BOCHK listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in October 2002. Two-thirds of its share capital are in free float. The bank's headquarters in Hong Kong are located in the Bank of China Tower, designed by the renowned architect I.M. Pei, and was opened to the public in 1990 as the tallest building of Hong Kong at that time.
It listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (independently from BOCHK) (SEHK:3988) by floating the largest IPO in the world by any institution since 2000 on June 1, 2006, raising US$9.7 billion. The IPO attracted HK$286 billion (USD 36.7 billion) in retail orders and was the most heavily oversubscribed in the history of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The offer was around 76 times oversubscribed. Although some financial analysts advised caution due to the worrying amounts of non-performing loans, this hardly deterred investors. The IPO share price started at HK$2.95 per share and jumped 15% (to HK$3.40) after the first day of trading.
In 2008 the Bank of China was crowned Deal of the Year - Debt Market Deal of the Year at the 2008 ALB Hong Kong Law Awards.

Guarantee scandal in Poland[edit]

Wultz v. Bank of China[edit]
On August 8, 2008, the family of Daniel Wultz, an American teenager killed in a 2006 terrorist attack in Israel, filed suit against the Bank of China in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, where litigation continues. On October 29, 2012, the Honorable J. Scheindlin issued a ruling compelling Bank of China to provide discovery.[17][18]
Alleged money transfers to Hamas[edit]
In 2012, the families of eight terror victims of the 2008 Mercaz HaRav massacre in Jerusalem filed a $1 billion lawsuit against the Bank of China. The suit asserted that in 2003 the bank's New York branch wired millions of dollars to Hamas from its leadership in Syria and Iran. The Bank of China subsequently denied providing banking services to terrorist groups: "The Bank of China has always strictly followed the UN's anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing requirements and regulations in China and other judicial areas where we operate."[19][20][21]

We stayed at the beautiful Naka Island Resort back in July to celebrate our anniversary. Even though it was the rainy season, it was an incredible vacation. It is a very beautiful and quiet resort. One of the major highlights was the staff who exceeded our expectations with their friendliness and attentiveness.They greeted us wherever we went, gave buggy rides and provided us with an anniversary cake! They truly made our stay most enjoyable. The spa was very relaxing and the villa was spectacular with the most comfortable bed, private pool and outstanding views of the sea and sunsets! Loved the BMW airport transfer and long tail boat excursion too! We plan on returning soon to celebrate our children's birthdays!

Rated 5 out of 5 by English You will feel like you have found paradise!
This propery exceeded our expectations all around. Wow! My husband and I spent 8 days of our honeymoon here and would love to go back. It is a little expensive to eat since there really aren't any other options for food besides the 2 restaurants and bar at the resort, however, the food was incredible in taste and presentation. The staff were also very courteous, friendly, and attentive. We felt like we found a secret hidden gem with this amazing resort and island.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2100Family Boutique resort, great views, friendly
Stayed as part of family holidays (w/2 kids 11y /15 y), and we stayed 3 nights. We had booked via SPG including 3 adults (i.e. our teenager had a roll-in bed) incl. return-transfer by speedboat (5 min each way).
This was our first stay. We stayed in a Beachfront villa with no pool. We had asked for a quiet villa with good view and got exactly that!!! The resort tries it very best to value Platinum guests (welcome bottle, cocktail-hour, discount in The Grill).
Although the resort was running full, there was plenty of space e.g. in the two restaurants, during breakfast, access to sunbeds, pool, etc.
The service level is very friendly and higher than usual large resort (although a bit slow/"relaxed speed" in the restaurant).
The resort has some unique features, e.g. arriving/departing by speedboat (although only a 5 minute ride). Also, the villa itself is partly aircon (the room), whereas the toilet/bathroom is semi-open with mosquito-net on windows and view to the roof (hence you may see some harmless creepy-crawlies).
All villas seems to be very private vs. adjacent properties/villas.
Very well organized arrival and departure (all on time, we were picked up on time in Khao Lak, and departed to the Phuket airport all as planned)
When we visited in February approx. half of guests were young couples without kids, and the rest were mixed. All kind of nationalities, very quiet, and luckily no noisy and self-important newly-rich.
We had all our meals at the resort (you can walk to the fishing village nearby). Quality of food is very good, and food-prices on a la carte is acceptable comparing to overall hotel price level
February 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TMari11 Turned out to be an amazing and relaxing stay
We had a disappointing experience with the arranged hotel airport transfer.. We called the hotel and after several follow ups finally ended up with a small car that took us to the boat dock after more than an hour of waiting at the airport. No explanations were ever given as to why the BMW 7 series confirmed transport did not come even after we asked. They apologized multiple times but we just wanted to know what happened.
Also, the hotel charged for each boat transfer to the main island and can be costly and limiting.
However, I must say the rest of our stay was amazing! The resort and villas were beautiful and totally relaxing. Staff at the resort were very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate the guests. Concierge was great at booking excursions and recommendations were excellent. Spa service and amenities were awesome and a must! Restaurant service was great and food was good. The resort is a perfect place for a quick getaway!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellis An amazing experience
The private boat transfer was very smooth, giving a view of the resort from the water, setting the scene for a serene experience. The welcome tour was too long, concierge and welcome party doing their best but would have liked more sincerity. The in villa check-in, no waiting in the lobby, breaking away from a typical hotel check-in and introducing a concept far superior.
Breakfast was very impressive with menu in addition to buffet. Sparkling wine and Bloody Mary bar a bit too tempting but not what I would choose every morning. Overall the food was very good. Seafood buffet was super fresh but would like to see more outstanding and adventurous specialities in the future.
Restaurant staff were genuinely friendly and talked openly, much as we have grown to expect from satisfied Starwood employees throughout Thailand. The culinary director even took the time to give us a tour of the Royal Horizon Villa, which was stunning.
The Spa was surprisingly good value, in addition to the massage the complementary access to the sauna, steam room and ice room was most welcome.
First night in the Tropical Pool Villa was lovely and certainly felt private. Sea View for the next two nights, breath taking view from the moment we stepped through the entrance. The villa was almost Identical but the inner garden and courtyard was beautiful, well kept and cared for, fresh and revitalizing .
If you are considering indulging in this luxurious resort I strongly recommend booking a villa with a view!
Overall it was an amazing experience that has made a fantastic impression on us. Can't wait to return but in the mean time I will be recommending this fine retreat to everyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KarenKB Excellent resort highly recommended at reasonable price~~
This is an amazing hotel which exceed our expectation.
We have car pick up (luxury BMW 7 series) from the airport, followed by luxury yacht transfer to the resort. All the staff warmly welcome guest at entrance. We stayed in the beachfront pool villa which is amazing and we believe that worths.
All the staff are friendly and also provide best guidance to new comer on the island.
We strongly recommend this hotel if they give you a good price.

Underwood promptly attacked the church for its action. "They have other problems they should be concerned about," Underwood said at the time.
The governor said Thursday that, at Methodist conferences he attended, he consistently voted against taking a stand on political issues. Underwood said, for example, that he thought the church should not take sides with workers during labor disputes.
In early July, State Police closed the Capitol Complex for several hours because a letter was found threatening to blow up the building. No bomb was found.
Police have released only part of the letter. They have blamed the incident on a mountaintop removal critic, though a federal police expert said the letter was probably written by a disgruntled state employee who was upset with a variety of issues.
Underwood said several times Thursday that the letter and the Methodist resolution were similar.
The governor said he, not police investigators, discovered the similarity.
"The language of the resolution and the language of the letter are very similar," the governor said.
The portion of the letter released by police said, "Dear Gov. Underwood, How can you sit back and watch our beautiful Mountain State become our Mountainless State!! What ever happened to 'take only memories, leave only footprints? '"
The 10-page Methodist resolution contains no language similar to that portion of the letter.
Rod Blackstone, the governor's press secretary, said the governor was comparing the resolution to another part of the bomb threat that has not been released.
"I don't think he was referring to anything in the excerpt," Blackstone said. "He was talking about something else in the letter."
Blackstone said Public Safety Secretary Otis Cox refused to release the rest of the letter because the bomb threat investigation is ongoing.
Underwood reportedly met with Methodist Bishop S. Clifton Ives the day of the bomb threat to discuss the church's position on mountaintop removal.
On Thursday, Ives released a statement that said, "The bomb threat that shut down state government a few weeks ago is a sad reminder that some persons will resort to the threat of violence in order to express an opinion.
"Historically, the church has expressed opinions about a variety of issues affecting humankind," Ives said. "The church has also consistently rejected violence of any kind or the threat of violence as a way to influence public policy."

The numbers are in and Christian, Todd and Logan counties were among the top wheat and soybean producers in Kentucky last year.
The Kentucky Agriculture Statistics Service says Christian County was first in wheat production. Christian County farmers produced just over 4.3 million bushels of winter wheat. Yield for the county averaged 70.6 bushels per acre, with production harvested from 61,300 acres.
Logan County was second in the state with a production of just over 2.6 million bushels and Todd was third at almost 2.1 million bushels. Winter wheat production across Kentucky was down 5-percent last year at 29.1 million bushels. Yield was 62 bushels per acre, down eight bushels from 2011.
Christian also led Kentucky in soybean production at 3.1 million bushels, coming from 71,400 acres harvested with a yield of 43.8 bushels per acre. Daviess County was second and Logan County was third at just under 3 million bushels. Kentucky's soybean production and yield were up last year at nearly 59 million bushels at 40 bushels per acre.
Union, Daviess and McLean counties led Kentucky in corn production, though Christian County was one of only two other counties to surpass the five million bushel mark.

A Gesamtkunstwerk (translated as total work of art,[1] ideal work of art,[2] universal artwork,[3] synthesis of the arts, comprehensive artwork, all-embracing art form or total artwork) is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms or strives to do so. The term is a German word which has come to be accepted in English as a term in aesthetics.
The term was first used by the German writer and philosopher K. F. E. Trahndorff in an essay in 1827.[4] The German opera composer Richard Wagner used the term in two 1849 essays. It is unclear whether Wagner knew of Trahndorff's essay. The word has become particularly associated with Wagner's aesthetic ideals.
Before Wagner[edit]
Some elements of opera reform, seeking a more "classical" formula, had begun at the end of the 18th century. After the lengthy domination of opera seria, and the da capo aria, a movement began to advance the librettist and the composer in relation to the singers, and to return the drama to a more intense and less moralistic focus. This movement, "reform opera" is primarily associated with Christoph Willibald Gluck and Ranieri de' Calzabigi. The themes in the operas produced by Gluck's collaborations with Calzabigi continue throughout the operas of Carl Maria von Weber, until Wagner, rejecting both the Italian bel canto tradition and the French "spectacle opera", developed his union of music, drama, theatrical effects, and occasionally dance.
However these trends had developed fortuitously, rather than in response to a specific philosophy of art; Wagner, who recognised the reforms of Gluck and admired the works of Weber, wished to consolidate his view, originally, as part of his radical social and political views of the late 1840s. Previous to Wagner, others who had expressed ideas about union of the arts, which was a familiar topic among German Romantics, as evidenced by the title of Trahndorff's essay, in which the word first occurred, "Aesthetics, or Theory of Philosophy of Art". Others who wrote on syntheses of the arts included Gottfried Lessing, Ludwig Tieck and Novalis.[5]
Wagner's ideas[edit]
Wagner used the exact term 'Gesamtkunstwerk' (which he spelt 'Gesammtkunstwerk') on only two occasions, in his 1849 essays "Art and Revolution" and "The Artwork of the Future",[6] where he speaks of his ideal of unifying all works of art via the theatre.[7] He also used in these essays many similar expressions such as 'the consummate artwork of the future' and 'the integrated drama', and frequently referred to 'Gesamtkunst'.[8] Such a work of art was to be the clearest and most profound expression of a folk legend, though abstracted from its nationalist particulars to a universal humanist fable.
Wagner felt that the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus had been the finest (though still flawed) examples so far of total artistic synthesis, but that this synthesis had subsequently been corrupted by Euripides. Wagner felt that during the rest of human history up to the present day (i.e. 1850) the arts had drifted further and further apart, resulting in such "monstrosities" as Grand Opera. Wagner felt that such works celebrated bravura singing, sensational stage effects, and meaningless plots. In "Art and Revolution" Wagner applies the term 'Gesamtkunstwerk' in the context of Greek tragedy. In "The Art-Work of the Future" he uses it to apply to his own, as yet unrealised, ideal.
In his extensive book Opera and Drama (completed in 1851) he takes these ideas further, describing in detail his idea of the union of opera and drama (later called music drama despite Wagner's disapproval of the term), in which the individual arts are subordinated to a common purpose.
Wagner's own opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, and specifically its components Das Rheingold and Die Walküre represent perhaps the closest he, or anyone else, came to realising these ideals;[9] he was himself after this stage to relax his own strictures and write more 'operatically'.[10]
Gesamtkunstwerk in architecture[edit]
The use of the term Gesamtkunstwerk in an architectural context signifies the fact that the architect is responsible for the design and/or overseeing of the building's totality: shell, accessories, furnishings, and landscape.[11] It is difficult to make a claim for when the notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk was first employed from the point of view of a building and its contents; already during the Renaissance, artists such as Michelangelo saw no strict division in their tasks between architecture, interior design, sculpture, painting and even engineering. A later example occurs in the Baroque, for instance the work of the Austrian Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, who was an architect and sculptor, as well as an architectural historian. "His buildings can be considered total works of art in which architecture and the figurative arts are united to express a predominant idea—the glorification of God or the patron saint in ecclesiastical architecture or the allegorical glorification of the ruler or of the noble patron in secular buildings... All of his works are composed of several different elements or contrasting features that are harmonized in a unified whole and in reference to their natural and artistic environment".[12] It has been argued by historian Robert L. Delevoy that Art Nouveau represented an essentially decorative trend that thus lent itself to the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk. But it was equally born from social theories that arose out of a fear of the rise of industrialism—while at the same time determined to create a new style.[13]
A distinctly modern approach to the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk emerged with the Bauhaus school, first established in Weimar in 1919 by Walter Gropius. The school specialised in design, art and craftsmanship (architecture was not introduced as a separate course until 1927 after it had transferred to Dessau). Gropius contended that artists and architects should also be craftsmen, that they should have experience working with different materials and artistic mediums, including industrial design, clothes design and theatre and music. However, Gropius did not necessarily see a building and every aspect of its design as being the work of a single hand.[14]

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Energy stocks ended lower Wednesday as minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting showed the central bank on track to start curtailing asset purchases by year-end.
Major oil companies were mixed in early trading, but ended the day down. Shares of Exxon Mobil Corp. /quotes/zigman/203975/delayed/quotes/nls/xom XOM +1.31% lost 0.5%, while shares of ConocoPhillips /quotes/zigman/294662/delayed/quotes/nls/cop COP +0.18% and Chevron Corp. /quotes/zigman/289939/delayed/quotes/nls/cvx CVX +0.20% declined 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively.
Markets feared the Fed minutes would signal the tapering off Fed asset purchases in September. The central bankers, however, didn't indicate a clear path. U.S. stocks finished sharply lower after the Fed minutes.
Refiners bucked the trend, with Tesoro Corp. shares rising 2.3%. Rival Phillips 66 /quotes/zigman/9483013/delayed/quotes/nls/psx PSX -0.08% gained 1.7%.
Apache Corp. /quotes/zigman/218137/delayed/quotes/nls/apa APA +0.67% was also among the top gainers of the day, with shares advancing 1.3%.
Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. /quotes/zigman/126832/delayed/quotes/nls/chk CHK +1.29% were flat. The natural-gas producer was cut to neutral from positive by Susquehanna on Wednesday.
Former Chesapeake CEO and co-founder Aubrey McClendon is looking at Ohio's Utica Shale as his next bet , having raised about $1.2 billion to build up a new energy company, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Top decliners included WPX Energy Inc. /quotes/zigman/7648245/delayed/quotes/nls/wpx WPX -0.44% , with shares down 2.8%, and coal miner Peabody Energy Corp. /quotes/zigman/282895/delayed/quotes/nls/btu BTU -5.33% , with shares off 2.2%.
The SPDR Energy Select Sector /quotes/zigman/246199/delayed/quotes/nls/xle XLE +0.19% , an exchange-traded fund focused on energy names, retreated 0.6%.

Red Hat's Open Source Architecture Evolves to Reduce Infrastructure Costs
United States, November 1, 2005Virtualization, Stateless Linux and Developer Enablement will be Red Hat's core technology focus areas for 2006-2007.
Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), the world's leading provider of open source to the enterprise, today announced its primary technology plans for 2006 through 2007. The company's core focus will be to continue to reduce IT infrastructure costs for customers. Red Hat sees virtualization, stateless Linux and developer enablement as the key levers to reduce costs by increasing organizational efficiency and agility.
In 2003 Red Hat launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 3 and with that release the company's long-term Open Source Architecture strategy. Since then Red Hat has delivered on key features of the strategy: reliability, high performance, security, scalable systems, identity management, virtualized storage solutions and a broad application and hardware ecosystem. The original architecture helped make Red Hat Enterprise Linux the leading open source platform for commercial IT deployments. The second phase of the architecture defines the technologies that will keep Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the leading commercial open source solution and continue to drive down IT costs.
"Deploying Linux two years ago was a sound technical decision for many organizations. Performance was better than proprietary solutions, and systems were very reliable and secure. We are proud to have achieved those important milestones for open source consumers with the support of our partners and the community," said Brian Stevens, Chief Technology Officer at Red Hat. "Technologies are now emerging that will make the deployment of open source software incredibly strategic for customers in the coming years. Virtualization and stateless Linux will be the levers for accomplishing amazing operational efficiency and agility. We will also focus resources on providing a state-of-the-art development environment to support open source and partner development efforts. In combination, these and other emerging technologies will ensure that Red Hat open source solutions offer a compelling IT infrastructure, from development through to deployment."
Expected to be released in late 2006, the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will feature a fully integrated server virtualization capability. Working with the Xen community and partners, Red Hat's development efforts in this space will ensure maximum system utilitization and availability by optimizing the core operating system platform for virtualized environments. By integrating the technology with Red Hat's existing storage virtualization and system management capabilities âeuro" Red Hat Global File System and Red Hat Network âeuro" customers will benefit from a complete solution that can be applied to real business problems to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
In the theme of simplicity and efficiency, Red Hat's pricing model for server virtualization technology will be designed to give customers the freedom to run an unlimited number of virtualized instances for a flat subscription price. Customers will be able to enjoy the benefits of a dynamic virtualized environment without the need to track complex pricing models.
"Virtualization is rapidly emerging as a solution for several critical problems experienced by today's IT customers," said Tony Iams, Vice President of System Software Research at Ideas International. "It helps users maximize the utilization of server and storage resources, and opens new avenues to increased system availability. Virtualization also dramatically simplifies developing, testing and provisioning new applications, which helps administrators manage the complexity of their infrastructures even as they undergo high rates of growth. It is exciting to see Red Hat and its partners collaborating to drive open source virtualization technology into the mainstream.âeuro
Stateless Linux
Stateless Linux extends Red Hat's IT cost reduction efforts to laptop and desktop deployments. With stateless Linux the personality and data that make an individual machine unique is moved to the network. Through intelligent backup and update agents, the user's personality and data are cached to any local machine the user chooses. This allows the mobility and flexibility of a standard desktop but with the administration costs of a thin client. For administration, maintenance and deployment costs are minimized. For users, the availability of the data is independent of the health or reliability of a single machine. A user's downtime is limited to the time it takes to receive a replacement machine.
Developer Enablement
Red Hat will work with partners, the community and customers to help increase the quality and time-to-market of software development projects, through the leverage of open source tools and processes. "Some of our largest customers are beginning to realize that a combination of open source development tools and distributed development processes, mirroring how the open source community operates, are yielding significant increases in software quality even while decreasing time-to-market," said Paul Cormier, Executive Vice President of Engineering at Red Hat. "Our experience with distributed software development ideally positions us to help customers win in this new environment."
Red Hat's specific plans for enabling developers will include continued investment in open source tools such as Eclipse, SystemTAP, Frysk and others, as well as an expansion of developer-focused content, services and training targeted at commercial application developers. Red Hat will also begin to leverage its substantial testing and certification experience to help customers decrease their internal platform validation efforts, as the desire to validate more open source components increase. Customers and partners will have access to technology progress made as part of the Evolution of Open Source Architecture in calendar 2006 and 2007. Previews of technologies discussed are available now in Fedora Core: http://www.fedora.redhat.com

Doctor Arrest Raises Addiction Issues
May 24, 2005 — A St. Lawrence County doctor was arrested last week for allegedly prescribing painkillers to addicted clients who didn't need them. The case is drawing attention to how prescription narcotics are controlled in New York. Dr. Gail DeHart of Gouverneur was charged with third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. DeHart's lawyer, Ed Menkin of Syracuse, declined to comment on the case, saying he had yet to meet with his client. Experts say abuse of prescription drugs is a growing problem nationwide, especially among young people. A new state law taking effect next year will require doctors to use official prescription forms, so the health department can better track prescription narcotics. David Sommerstein spoke with Dr. John Dewar, a family physician based in Potsdam. He's medical director of Canton-Potsdam Hospital's chemical dependency unit. He says he deals with 150 to 200 clients a year who are addicted to prescription drugs. Go to full article
Doctor Busted in Prescription Drug Ring
May 20, 2005 — State police arrested a Gouverneur doctor and her assistant Wednesday for allegedly providing prescriptions for drug addicts and dealers. Doctor Gail DeHart and her office manager Joan Kingdon operated a private practice from the doctor's home. Dr. DeHart had worked in the past at E.J. Noble Hospital and at a clinic in Edwards. The two face charges of criminal sale of a controlled substance. Officials say she billed the drugs to the taxpayer-funded Medicaid system. The state attorney general's office may press charges of fraud. David Sommerstein spoke with St. Lawrence County acting District Attorney Gary Miles. He says Dr. DeHart was prescribing large amounts of painkillers, like Oxycontin and morphine, to dozens of patients. Go to full article

Harry J. Berman
University of Illinois Springfield
October 22, 2010
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lynn Pardie as the Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, effective January 1, 2011, pending approval by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees at its November meeting. She would replace me in my position as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, which I am continuing to fill until the end of this year.
Her administrative experience, her scholarship, and the respect she has earned as a UIS faculty member and administrator since 1989 make her a great choice to lead Academic Affairs through this important period of transition. I have consulted with the Campus Senate leadership, the deans, the Chancellor's Cabinet, and President Michael Hogan before making this important decision, and I appreciate their advice in the process.
Since 2006, Dr. Pardie has worked directly for me as Associate Vice Chancellor for Graduate Education and Research, providing broad oversight and advocacy for graduate education, research administration, and advancing faculty and student scholarship. She had prior administrative experience as Interim Associate Dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and as Chair of the Psychology Department.
Dr. Pardie received her Ph. D. in psychology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She came to UIS in 1989 as an assistant professor of psychology, then was promoted to associate professor in 1995 and to full professor in 2005.
Dr. Pardie is highly regarded by her colleagues. She received the Faculty Excellence Award in 2005 in recognition of accomplishments in teaching, scholarship, and service. She has published work on stress-illness relationships, sex bias in psychological research, and sexual orientation issues. She supervised many students' theses and has been a strong contributor to important campus endeavors, including strategic planning, curriculum and policy development, academic program review, faculty and staff mentoring and development, and institutional research. She has been a long-time member of the Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects (IRB) and has chaired that committee for past six years.
Several faculty and staff will pick up Dr. Pardie's current responsibilities during her service as interim VCAA. The duties of Dr. Cecilia Cornell, associate professor of history and director of the Whitney M. Young fellowship program, will be expanded to include broad oversight of graduate education. Dr. John Barker, currently a member of the IRB, will take on administrative tasks associated with the IRB. Ms. Leslie Defrates, Assistant to Dr. Pardie, will assume a broader range of administrative tasks associated with oversight of the graduate assistantship program.
I am well aware of Dr. Pardie's reputation as a collaborative administrator, and I am confident that she will lead the division energetically in ways that continue the progress that UIS has been making in teaching, scholarship, and service.
Please join me in congratulating Lynn on this appointment, and in extending thanks to Cecilia Cornell, John Barker, and Leslie DeFrates.

I especially appreciate the way you've got one leg up on the counter. Not only does this allow the hot jet stream of air a more direct passage to your gene-carrying duffle bag, it also gives me an intrusive view to the white fields of pubis covering your taint and beyond. It almost makes me think of Santa Claus, but I was not sexually abused by Kris Kringle as a child.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.

Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The Columbia Valley's growing seasons are remarkably consistent, but 2005 was exceptional. Summer temperatures were quite warm resulting in extremely small berry size, and then the heat backed off just enough in September to ripen the grapes without rushing physiological maturity. The results are deeply colored, beautifully balanced wines with tremendously dense, ripe aromas and flavors.
The 2005 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot) is loaded with blackberry, blueberry, plum and cassis with nuances of dark chocolate and violets. Classically structured, this complex wine has remarkable elegance and persistence on the long, pure finish. Approachable now, it should reach maturity around 2012 and age for 25 or more years. While we are particularly proud of the last three vintages of our flagship wine, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon easily rivals them as one of the best wines the estate has ever produced. Only shipping discounts can be applied to this product, other promotional discounts do not apply.
"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal component comes from the Champoux Vineyard (in which the winery is a partner) with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards, outstanding in their own right. It, too, was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040." 100 Points The Wine Advocate
"Saturated deep ruby. Brooding, backward nose hints at deep black plum, cassis, graphite and nutty, spicy oak. Fat, sweet and superconcentrated, with an almost citric suggestion of acidity and chewy dry extract contributing to the impression of structure. Wonderfully bright for such a ripe wine, and explosively long on the aftertaste. Along with its considerably power, this promises to deliver great class in an almost Medoc-like way." 97 Points International Wine Cellar
"Still young, chewy and textural, this stands as a classic Washington 2005 red—lusciously laden with mixed red and black berries, generous and deep; dense and jammy. The mixed berries, red licorice, cherries, layers of butterscotch, toffee and caramel are beautifully integrated and linger seductively into the finish. It has some initial alcoholic heat, but the flavors compensate and go on and on." 96 Points Wine Enthusiast
"hly aromatic, this brims with dark berry and currant aromas and flavors, shaded with espresso and dark chocolate overtones set against somewhat gritty tannins. A meaty note adds extra depth as the finish lingers on and on against the tannins." 94 Points Wine Spectator

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

South Africa: a narrative historyIn this epic narrative Frank Welsh explores South Africa's eventful history through the clash and engagement of cultures -- tribal, Afrikaner, and British, among them -- that have made this nation on the tip of Africa not only the most powerful country on the African continent but also the most controversial. South Africa: A Narrative History begins in pre-colonial times, when South Africa was home to the now extinct Bushman, and ends with Nelson Mandela's last year of power as the first black leader of the post-apartheid nation. Among the seminal events that take center stage in this drama are accounts of the Jameson Raid, the Great Trek, the Zulu Wars and the Boer War, and the struggle of the African National Congress for legitimacy and political power. Welsh, the author of A Borrowed Place: The History of Hong Kong which the New York Review of Books called "a magnificent, much-needed and compendious history", has now written an essential book on South Africa, a book for anyone wishing to understand the historical and economic underpinnings beneath the present day realities. |

South Africa: a narrative history
User Review - Book VerdictWith bold strokes that some may find candid but others coarse, Welsh sketches South Africa's history from the Portuguese landing in 1488 to the evolving nation's first democratic election in 1994. He follows the area's development from East Indies way-station to trading company site to settlement, through British expansion, the Boer War (1898-1902), and apartheid. Peoples and personalities lead his recap, from the original Bushman-Hottentots, advancing Bantu-speakers, and Afrikaners to English-speaking immigrants, including Indians and the racially mixed people called "coloured." Welsh emphasizes potential, writing of the area's peculiar historical isolation, its complexity of cultures, and its bountiful mineral wealth. The result reads with the verve that marked the English-born writer's A Borrowed Place: The History of Hong Kong (Kodansha, 1993), but it faces tough competition from works by Robert A. Ross, Timothy J. Keegan, and Leonard M. Thompson in the escalating contest to formulate a new history for a new South Africa.--Thomas Davis, Arizona State Univ., Tempe

This is really my beauty Mecca :)
I'm not a big makeup girl, but walking into this store makes me want to learn how to put on eyeshadow. They have *everything*!
They'll spackle, paint and powder your mug at this makeup emporium. But better than the free makeovers are the free samples of expensive creams and emollients from high-end brands such as Murad and Dr. Perricone. Chat up one of the nice salespeople, and they'll open the magical sample drawers and hand you handfuls of packetsenough to keep you moist and wrinkle-free for weeks.... More >>

Steve Nash.
Nash Rambler.
Nash skateboards.
John Forbes Nash, Jr.
The Nash name is rich and full of success and interesting ideas and people. In Sequim it's synonymous with produce — organic produce cultivated by a Nash of sorts.
When I was new to town, people asked almost daily if I was a part of the Nash's Organic Produce line of foodies. As I near four years here, the question has dwindled to maybe once a month when I meet new people in town.
My token answer is this:
Well, I went into the store one day, told them my name and asked for some free food, you know, because of my name. Matt Nash. The employee and I just stared at each other and she gave me a small grin with the indication she wasn't giving me free food so I paid for my (formerly Nash's) carrots and left.
I've been to the store several times but rarely do I write about it. Recently, I covered a mural project for the store and while typing the story it dawned on me that accrediting "Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash" might seem biased or unethical to some not in the know of all things Sequim.
So to set the record straight, no I'm not related to the Sequim Nash empire. My closest blood relative, aside from my son, is 200 miles away.
My dad told me that when we moved from Portland, Ore., to a suburb named Scappoose (actually Warren is where they live), he told me we'd often get calls for the local famous Nash who taught music lessons.
I imagine Smiths and Robinsons are often annoyed by the confusion, but we Nashes take it as a compliment — mostly.
As for Nash Huber, owner of Nash's Organic Produce, I don't know if he's proud to be called Nash. The first time I met him I told him he's a big celebrity 'round these parts. He laughed at the notion.
Then I told him my response to people confusing our relation.
I haven't seen him since.

"Putting a little extra fun into dinner time and boardroom meetings, this four poster table uses its structure to suspend a central GEO lampshade and eight hanging chairs that sway playfully. This design creates an exceptionally divergent experience and aesthetic, creating a room within a room, with chairs that float around the table, it also makes vacuuming a breeze."
Duffy London is an idea-based company, Some of our ideas run along similar themes and concepts, while others are completely different. When we gain access to new production methods this inspires us to take new directions and helps us to evolve our designs. Duffy London produce furniture, lighting and interior products which are designed mostly by Chris Duffy but he draws on the designers that work for him and his friends in the same industry for their assistance and contributions to the designs.
