If a Red Notice subject applies for and is granted political asylum in a given country, does that necessarily mean that his claim to INTERPOL of politically motivated criminal charges will be successful?
And if a Red Notice subject's claim to INTERPOL that his Red Notice is based on a politically motivated criminal charge succeeds, does that necessarily mean that his petition for political asylum will be granted?
No and no. While this may seem counterintuitive, success (or failure) on one front does not dictate the same result on the other front. To understand why, imagine that a client has a Red Notice from Ethiopia and also seeks political asylum in the United States.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 is a basic midsize tablet powered by the feature-packed Touchwiz UI. However, its slow-but-steady performance and plastic build make its $270 starting price a bit of a deal-breaker for bargain shoppers.

The Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 features a split-screen mode that allows two apps to run at once. Compatible apps are limited, but the tablet runs surprisingly smooth while multitasking.
For an 8-inch tablet, the Tab 4 8.0 is appropriately compact and light. The right edge houses the power button, volume rocker, IR blaster, and microSD card expansion slot.
The capacitive buttons on the bottom edge don't get in the way during gaming, browsing, or reading, but accidentally triggering them while watching video is easy to do if you're not careful.
The single speaker on the back side is easy to block, but that might be a good thing since its audio quality is tinny and weak.
A 1,280x800-pixel resolution screen is standard for a budget tablet, but at $270, the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 doesn't qualify as one. The screen's sharpness and range of colors are still decent, but it's far from the likes of the super-HD Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 or the higher-end Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablets.
The Tab 4 8.0's textured back is comfortable to the touch while providing sufficient grip support. However, the plastic build gives the tablet a cheap feel.

PETALING JAYA: Head to i-City Shah Alam tonight to welcome the Year of the Snake with 988FM deejays at their Ular La Chinese New Year Countdown 2013.
Nine deejays who will be hosting the event at i-Walk tonight, will play interactive games with the audience and sing and dance as well.
The Star Media Group radio station DJ Yihui Tan said they had practised for four months to perfect their routine, which will include several new songs from 988FM's Chinese New Year studio album this year.
"It's titled 988 Ular La Guo Hao Nian, which means have a prosperous, wealthy and good year during the Ular (Snake) Year.
"We composed the lyrics ourselves," she said.
DJ PM Wang said he had also written a song called Moving Forward, which was about the importance of embracing the future and letting the past go.
Many goodies will be given away, including limited edition CDs and DVDs of 988FM's Chinese New Year studio album, as well as ang pow and posters.
A fireworks display will also light up the sky at midnight.
DJ Sam Mak said they were very excited about their performance, "although we can't dance like Beyonce".
"I think this Ular year is special and our Ular La catchphrase is uniquely Malaysian.
"Plus, in Hokkien, the pronunciation U-lar means got lah," she pointed out, adding that this could refer to prosperity and happiness.
Besides DJs Yihui, PM and Sam, visitors will also be entertained by DJs Anson Kow, Nick Ng, Teddy Chin, Kian, K.K. Wong and Jason Poon onstage.
They can also enjoy the 88-seat carousel ride free of charge tonight, while 1,000 free ice-creams will be given out daily from tomorrow until Feb 24 in the SnoWalk attraction.
I-City will also host lion and dragon dances as well as a walkabout from the God of Prosperity from Feb 10 to Feb 24, while more fireworks displays will also be held on Feb 23 at midnight, as well as on Feb 10, 11 and 16 at 10pm.
The 988FM Ular La Chinese New Year Countdown 2013 is happening at 10.30pm tonight at i-City, Shah Alam.

The Angry Video Game Nerd & Nostalgia Critic makes a cameo in an anime.
Well, this is very surprising. It seem AVGN and Nostalgia made a cameo in the fifth episode of The Unlimited-Hyoubu Kyousuke, also Lupin III as well. And Doug Walker did know about this and he is also surprised. I'm not sure if James Rolfe saw this yet. But still, why did you make a cameo of 2 Internet stars in an anime no less, Manglobe Inc.!?

A Guide to Governance, part II
Part II: What happens when governance fails and why we need non-executive directors
By Steve O'Neill | CFO UK | Published 16:04, 25 November 10
The future: Trends and Developments
The lessons of Ahold, an international supermarkets group, (see case study below) and some of the other corporate failures since it failed in 2003 has led to European companies coming under scrutiny like never before when it comes to how they run themselves.
The Ahold scandal was swiftly followed by the discovery of a multi-billion euro fraud at Parmalat, the Italian food group, in 2003/04. As a result, greater co-operation developed between competing regulatory bodies both in Brussels and in individual countries to develop a stringent and effective code of corporate governance.
In the UK, the latest consultation from the FRC points the way to the key areas which it believes companies must focus on:
• The chairman's responsibility for leading the board
• The need for directors to devote sufficient time
• The requirement for non-executive directors (NEDs) to challenge constructively and,
• The need for boards to have a balance of skills and experience.
There is a clear recognition that the recent meltdown in the world's financial markets has shaken confidence in the corporate governance structures and procedures at some of the biggest corporates in the UK.
Banks in particular cannot escape scrutiny from shareholders and regulators as to why the collective expertise of the finest minds in UK banking failed to spot the looming crisis. That others, regulators and investors in particular, also failed to spot it has in some ways deflected criticism away from boards.
But the future direction of corporate governance procedures and guidelines has to take into account the recent failures at board level. In the same way that Enron led to a sea change in how corporate boards in the US are constituted and run, the banking crisis may represent a chance to examine and strengthen the codes covering this area. Board remuneration and incentive schemes, especially in financial services, have become a cause celebre.
Institutional investors have in turn been stung by the accusation that they failed to engage with their investee companies and failed to question management decisions. As a result the FRC drew up the UK's first voluntary Stewardship Code, which outlines the responsibilities of institutional shareholders. To date, 68 organisations have signed up to the code. Non-executive directors, supposedly the voice of constructive challenge, have also had their role examined.
CASE STUDY: When corporate governance fails
Little known in the UK, Royal Ahold is a retail giant in the Netherlands. At its peak in 2001, Ahold's had profits of €1.1 billion on sales of €66.6 billion. Headquartered in the Netherlands, it operated 5,155 stores in 27 countries and employed 250,000 people. It was hugely successful and had enjoyed enormous exponential growth in the years leading up to 2002.
However in 2003 it emerged that the company was in complete disarray – its stock tanked, the management resigned and shareholder valued was wiped out overnight. While the failure of Ahold had many explanations, fundamental failings in corporate governance were at the heart of its collapse. It was so bad, the Economist dubbed Ahold 'Europe's Enron'.
Ahold was for a long time owned and run by the Heijn Family. By the 1990s the family's stake had dwindled to just 7%. Professional managers had been brought in with the express aim to grow the group. This need for constant and exponential growth put intolerable pressure on the company's controls and ultimately led to its failure. The inability to spot this pressure and act to reverse the direction of the company was the single biggest failure in Ahold's corporate governance.
The roots of the mistake lay in the family's decision to retain a supervisory role over management. By using Dutch law they were able to ensure that shareholders and other stakeholders had no way of challenging the board or blocking appointments. Unconstrained, management pursued unsustainable growth strategies that led to its downfall. Simply put, by maintaining unfettered control over the board, Ahold's management ran it off the road.

As part of the Coconino Plateau, the rim slopes away from the canyon toward the southwest and precipitation drains away from the edge of the gorge. Yet the mystique and splendor of the Grand Canyon have always drawn adventurers and the curious, which ultimately led to the establishment of a community known as Grand Canyon Village.

Lawyer suspended for 1 year
The Law Society of British Columbia has suspended a Kelowna lawyer for professional misconduct, meaning he will not be practicing for the next year.
In a release from the society, they say a hearing panel found that Douglas Warren Welder acted in a conflict of interest while representing a client in a foreclosure proceeding against a former client.
In its decision, the panel said, "Acting in a conflict of interest amounts to a breach of one of the bastions of the legal profession, ranking with confidentiality, loyalty to clients, fulfilling undertakings, safeguarding trust funds, and duties to the Courts. Failure to uphold these bastions leads to disintegration of the public's confidence in the profession."
Welder's suspension will begin on June 1 and will not be lifted until he completes 12 credits of approved Continuing Professional Development this year, and a remedial course on professional ethics.
After the suspension is lifted, he will also have to undergo two consecutive practice reviews, which successfully demonstrate satisfactory trust accounting procedures, satisfactory file management, appropriate conflict checks and decisions, and an understanding of substantive legal issues at the level of a competent lawyer.
Welder has also been ordered to pay $13,692 in costs.

After checking into our lovely Gemini Court Burleigh Heads accommodation, my husband and I immediately gravitated to the balcony with its sweeping views from Burleigh Heads to Surfers Paradise.
But it wasn't Surfers that caught our attention, just off Burleigh Headland we could see the distinct outline of two humpback whales putting on a great display. There were quite a few people gathered on the headland but no-one had a better view than us from our wonderful Burleigh Heads holiday apartment balcony!
It was at that very moment that we decided to talk to the super-friendly Gemini Court staff and book a whale-watching cruise. It was all very easy. We discussed a few different options and decided on a cruise that sounded perfect for us.
The transfer arrived early at our Burleigh Heads accommodation and we were quickly whisked to the boat. It was a beautiful, crisp winter day, perfect for tracking the gentle, inquisitive whales.
Our catamaran had a walk around lower deck, which meant no matter where the whales were we could all see them. Whales are gorgeous, playful creatures who also like to have a bit of a look at you! One of the pods came pretty close to inspect us then headed off to display their awesome breaching techniques. I can't think we've enjoyed a day more.
Back at our super Burleigh Heads accommodation we returned to the balcony and watched the sunset over a glass of wine. The perfect way to end a perfect day.
Of course, staying in such a beautifully kept, self-contained unit with incredible views meant the rest of our stay at Gemini Court Holiday Apartments was also a totally relaxing, fun holiday, but we will never forget the day we had a close encounter of the giant sea-creature kind. We would recommend it to anyone!

Q. A patient asked me to evaluate her for a workplace disability claim.
She is claiming that her depression was caused by harassment on the job. I'm
uncomfortable agreeing to such a claim as she has a long history of
psychiatric problems, including depression. Can I effectively provide
treatment and forensic services to the same person?
A. In general, acting as both a treating psychiatrist and performing
an evaluation for legal purposes (or acting as an expert witness) could
adversely affect both the therapeutic relationship and your objectivity as an
These are two common scenarios in which psychiatrists find themselves:
In these scenarios, the psychiatrists are initially treating psychiatrists.
Once they start giving opinions for the purposes of litigation or employment,
however, they move beyond the role of treating psychiatrist and into the role
of forensic psychiatrist or expert witness.
Multiple roles bring with them the very real possibility, even the
inevitability, of conflicting obligations (that is, the patient's clinical
needs versus the patient's legal needs). Conflicting obligations increase the
risk of clinical, ethical, and legal problems.
The American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law states in its Ethical
Guidelines for the Practice of Forensic Psychiatry, "A treating
psychiatrist should generally avoid agreeing to be an expert witness or to
perform evaluation of his patient for legal purposes because his forensic
evaluation usually requires that other people be interviewed and testimony may
adversely affect the therapeutic relationship."
It is appropriate for a psychiatrist, as the treater, to provide factual
information in a report or testimony about the patient's clinical status, with
proper consent from the patient, but if the assessments, recommendations, and
opinions do not exactly match the litigation needs of the patient/party as the
lawsuit develops, then the psychiatrist's usefulness as a witness is finished.
He/she might even be detrimental to the patient's case, which could have
serious implications for the therapeutic relationship.
If, in contrast, a psychiatrist tailors his/her assessments,
recommendations, and opinions to the needs of the lawsuit, then his/her
effectiveness as a treating psychiatrist is compromised, if not destroyed, and
he/she may fall below the standard of care.
In either situation, if the patient thinks he/she has been harmed by the
doctor's involvement, the patient may then have a cause of action against the
psychiatrist based in negligence (that is, negligent treatment or negligent
forensic evaluation).
Psychiatrists should be wary when asked for opinions or predictions by
third parties, such as patients' employers, disability insurance companies,
and attorneys. The safest response is for the psychiatrist to discuss the
issue with the patient, explain the limits of his/her role as a treating
psychiatrist, and outline the potential conflicts. The psychiatrist can advise
the requesting parties that if they want a specific opinion or prediction,
then they should obtain an independent medical exam for that purpose.
Unfortunately, psychiatrists who practice in small towns or rural areas
sometimes find that it is difficult to avoid dual roles.
Many medical professional liability insurance policies do not cover the
risks inherent in forensic practice, but forensic work is covered under the
APA-endorsed Psychiatrists' Professional Liability Insurance Program.

Program, for the benefit of members. More information about the Program is

MANSFIELD, Ohio – As polls in this battleground state and nationally continue to show voters split over President Obama's stewardship of the economy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday attempted to contrast his vision for the nation's future with that of his Republican rival Mitt Romney.
At his first stop here in north-central Ohio, in a small park against a backdrop of small businesses, Mr. Obama faced more than 2,000 supporters and offered an attack on Mr. Romney's proposal to cut taxes for individuals and businesses by more than $5 trillion over the next decade. The president would take the same message next to Akron, and is to go to Florida on Thursday.
Mr. Obama cited a newly released study from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a joint effort of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, two Washington-based policy research organizations. It concluded that the sort of tax code that Mr. Romney has proposed "would provide large tax cuts to high-income households, and increase the tax burdens on middle and/or lower-income taxpayers."
Mr. Obama said: "Ohio, we do not need more tax cuts for folks that are already doing really well. We need tax cuts for working Americans." Read more…

I would recommend researching the project before you order the gun. It is a good gun but even a parts kit requires a certain level of skill in order to end up with a decent product. It is a relatively labor intensive project that will require a decent amount of tools,skill and time. Building a bp gun is a labor of love. I've seen a lot of people purchase kits that never get finished.

It can be a fun project. It does not require any special tools. It can turn out really well even for beginners. The main thing is to take-your-time. Don't try to get it done in a weekend or something like that. If you decide to go for it remember slow and sure is best. Include us in the project too - take pictures and report progress along the way. Many of us on this forum have done these projects.

The Tuscany region
Tuscany is about living the dream - the hot summer days, the vineyards, the cycle lanes across the valley that follow the canals to Arezzo, the cooking schools, the horse treks, the local markets, the historic monuments and remnants of past civilisations to explore. For those who love nature and walking there are a number of marked walks in the hills and around the wider area of Cortona.
An ideal holiday location for friends, families and the experienced travellers
You can spend your day by the pool soaking up the suns energy and recharging your batteries or you can explore the historic hill top City of Cortona with its Etruscan, Roman and Middle-Age architecture, Etruscan Tombs, Museums, Medici Fort, Cathedral and Churches. Not to mention the great bars and cafes that you can visit and sit at the outside tables to watch the world go by.
Cortona also hosts a large number of artist galleries, antique shops and festivals.
- The art galleries are full of treasures from sculpture, jewellery, oil paintings, water colours and Marquetry. Antique shops provide wonderful cool places to explore these treasures.
- The festivals are varied - from the snail festival, the mushroom festival to the pageantry of the Il Palio in Sienna and Cortona's own medieval celebration complete with crossbow competitions.
- You can go further afield to wander the vineyards in the valley or follow the trail that outlines the area that Hannibal fought his famous battle with Flaminius on the shores of nearby Lake Trasimeno.
Other hill top towns beckon with Montepulicano (approx. 30min) and Montelcino (approx. 40min) with its famous Brunello wines. Sienna (approx. 40min) is close enough to go and enjoy lunch in the Piazza and stroll the streets in the late afternoon. Assisi (approx. 45min) is also nearby for those who wish to explore the wonderful Giotto murals in the church of St Francis of Assisi.
Florence is an easy one hour away by train or car to see its famous resident- Davide - at the Galleria dell'Accademia and of course the myriad of art in the Uffizi is not to be missed. Rome is also easily reached though we do suggest catching the train ( 2 hours) as driving in this city is rather a challenge.
Food and wine are at the heart of Tuscany and you are treated to a sumptuous array markets, local stores, restaurants and bars in Cortona and in the villages that surround this beautiful world. The food is fresh and tasty, the wines delectable. From the corner bar, the causal and comforting Enoteca, to the more formal and luxurious restaurants - Tuscany has everything. You just need to choose.
Cortona is well serviced to make any holiday easy and enjoyable.
At Villa Rosa we provide a welcome pack with ideas of things to do and there is also an information centre in the heart of Cortona that will help pack your holiday with activities from cooking classes to wine tasting to golf courses. English is widely spoken as Cortona has been aligned with The University of Georgia (USA) for summer school for over 30 years which has bought many English speakers to the town. Cortona is also the mecca for all those who love Frances Mayes and her 'Under the Tuscan Sun' book and film. The locals are welcoming and generous in their hospitality.
There are 5 supermarkets within a 10 minute drive, over 30 excellent restaurants in the City of Cortona which are well frequented by both visitor and locals. The shopping is vast - there are 3 excellent outlet villages within an hour's drive. The Arrezzo Antique market held over the weekend of the first Sunday of the month (except August) is the largest outdoor antique market in Europe. Hand-painted pottery from Deruta is about 40 minutes by car.
There are several beaches on Lake Trasimeno about 20 minutes away and there are ferries going out to the islands in the lake. Sailing is also available on the lake.
For those of you who need exercise and love walking, there are marked trials for walks in the hills surrounding Villa Rosa. Two public tennis courts are located at the end of the road and of course a stroll into the City of Cortona is also to be claimed as exercise!
There are also two golf courses nearby that are well equipped and you can hire golf clubs.

"Fabulous, breathtaking and relaxing - just the right place for a getaway."
The holiday was easy to arrange with good communication on location, directions etc.
The villa was lovely and comfortable for our stay. You had the ability to dine inside or out and the swimming pool was crystal clear and refreshing. Plenty of shade to relax by the pool. Usual household amenities available - washing machine and cooking utensils if required.
Although the Villa is outside the town walls it is within easy walking distance to both the local Cafes, Santa Margarita Church and town. Off street parking for cars.
We had a fabulous time - used the villa as a base for day trips and enjoyed the town market for fresh fruit and produce.

"Jaw droppingly beautiful location and lovingly converted and modernised old building, with swimming pool."
The scenary defies description and the villa is immaculately presented. With Cortona a short walk away (several attractive routes down to the medieval old hill town) the property is fantastically located. Thoroughly recommended.

Cardinals QB Competition: Mind Over Money
Conventional thinking would lead one to believe that Kevin Kolb would be the starting quarterback…
|Big Red Blog: QB situation not getting better

QB situation not getting better
Posted by Brad Wilbricht
Monday, August 13 - 10:30 AM
The Cardinals quarterback controversy made no progress during the team's second preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The inauspicious play of Kevin Kolb continued and John Skelton didn't fare much better. Of course, this is just the preseason, but the state of the Arizona offense isn't exactly promising at this point.
Kolb completed just 1-of-5 passes for 21 yards in Kansas City and was sacked once. Meanwhile, Skelton finished 3-of-6 for 35 yards and threw a bad interception. Skelton was also sacked on one occasion – leading to another area of concern – the Cardinals seemingly always underperforming offensive line.
Following the retirement of Kurt Warner, Cardinal fans have painful memories of lackluster play at the most important position on the field and this year is shaping up no different. Kolb remains the starter by default but anyone who feels comfortable with him leading the team's offense might be relegating to wishful thinking.
While it would be a significant long-shot for either Richard Bartel or Ryan Lindley to see the field in the regular season, it can't be completely ruled out. Lindley is a raw prospect with potential while Bartel has done enough to stick around the Cardinals organization for a couple of years now.
However, the idea of one of them being thrust into action would more than likely stem from continued poor play by Kolb and Skelton. And if that scenario pans out, all signs would point to another disappointing season in the desert.
