After a 2 year absence, KBS has resurrected their TV Novels! Two differences I noted: TV Novels used to air on KBS1, now it is on KBS2. Episodes were only about 25min in length; it is now about 35min, and airs at a slightly later time than before. Mvibo.com lists the drama as only to be 58 episodes
I was wondering if anyone is able to confirm whether Bok Nam is Bok Hee's half-brother or step-brother. By the name I would have thought they are half-siblings and not step-siblings. Furthermore, after Bok Hee's parents divorced, she actually lived with her father. As pointed by the synopsis provided by AsiaMediaWiki, her father passed away. Her step-mom, I believe, has an affair with a married man and ran off with him, leaving Bok Hee and Bok Nam to themselves.

Thank you for clarifying, christina. Oh, if you happen to watch EP 9, what was that all about in the house yard b/w Bok Hee, Geum Joo and Eun Joo? Did Bok Hee say something that offended the 2 sisters
And also, thank you semi-fly for the torrent files!

Christina, Who is the lady that Bok Hee n her stepbrother stay at? There are so many people live there, can you give me a flow chart how they related? Thank you so much.
christina wrote on 18 November 2011 - 08:23 PM:
This grandma is the mother-in-law of Bokhee's biological mother. She is the leader of the house so what she says goes.
Song Byung-man is Bokhee's mother's husband. He is also the father of the two girls Eunjoo and Geumjoo and his half-wit son Taejoo.
His wife became ill and bed-ridden after she had Eunjoo. At the time, Bokhee's mother came to the house to nurse his ill wife. By the time his wife passed
away, he was already in love with her so he wanted to marry her. His mother was against the marriage but he refused to marry anyone else so his mother-in-law
allowed it. He is a generous man since he gives away food to those in need, and he runs a rice wine company.
Geum-joo is the oldest of Byung-man's . Her personality is similar to the grandmother's, so she is not very kind and bad tempered. She is in love with Kang Joon-mo, Eunjoo's homeroom teacher. She dislikes Bokhee's mother because she thinks Bokhee's mother seduced her father while her mother was still alive, hence causing her mother to die.
Eun-joo is the youngest child of Song Byung-man. She is a sweet and kind kid and genuinely likes Bokhee's mother. But she craves the attention and love of Bokhee's mother, so she begins to treat Bokhee with disdain and rivalry for the fear of losing Bokhee's mother's love. She has a crush on Min-su, who is Joon-mo's nephew.
Tae-joo is the second child of Song Byung-man. When he was young, he suffered from a very high fever, which lead him to become a half-wit. He can tell when a rice wine is going bad.
Ji Yong-pyo is the son of a man who died working to protect Byung-man's company. He was abandoned by his mother when he was a baby. He is resentful of his dad and Byung-man's company. He is very ambitious, and after he got expelled from school due to fighting, he studies on his own. He later empathizes with Bokhee, and so he helps her study by giving her his old books.
Yoon Jung-ae is Bokhee's mother. She grew up in an orphanage and married Bokhee's father, who was also an orphan. While she was raising Bokhee, her husband had an affair with Boknam's mother and when Boknam's mother got pregnant with Boknam, he made Bokhee's mother leave. She wanted to take Bokhee with her but her Bokhee's father wouldn't let her. He promised her that he would raise Bokhee well, so in return she can't appear in front of Bokhee. She later married Byung-man but deceived him and his mother by telling them that she has no family, was never married, and has no kids of her own. She comes clean to Byung-man, which he accepts with understanding and love. She recently had a miscarriage because her mother-in-law made her do a 1,000 bows so she could get pregnant with a son. At the time, her or her mother-in-law didn't realize she was pregnant.
Mi-ja is Byung-man's younger sister. She is married to Yang Mal-gu and has a baby with him. She recruits Bokhee to be her baby's nanny.
Yang Mal-gu is the driver of Byung-man's house. His hometown is the same as Bokhee's.
Choi Jum-lae is the housemaid of Byung-man's house. She is also a distant relative of Byung-man's mother (the grandmother of the house). She is uncooperative towards Jung-ae and she is in love with Bae Dal-bong.
Bae Dal-bong grew up in Byung-man's household. He is a loyal, honest, and kind worker at Byung-man's company. He acts as a surrogate older brother to Yong-pyo. He knows Jum-lae likes him, and her straightforward actions towards him makes him feel burdened by her affections.
Kang Joon-mo is homeroom teacher for Eun-joo's class and the younger brother of Kang In-sook. He used to be a demonstrator in University, but when he got injured, he came down to live with his sister. He is only a temporary teacher at Eun-joo and Geum-joo's school. He later sees Bokhee walking around the school with a baby on her back. He notices her passion for learning and so he helps her study. He becomes her mentor and a person she can rely on.
Kang In-sook is married to Kim Jin-gook and she is a nurse at her husband's hospital. She was in love with Byung-man since she was little, and she cannot stand the fact that Byung-man is married to Jung-ae. But she tries to hide her feelings. She is also Min-su's mother.
Kim Jin-gook is a doctor who is stingy with his medical practice (meaning, he doesn't like to treat patients for free or with low cost, no matter how sick they are). His father worked at Byung-man's company, and when his father passed away Byung-man's father helped him complete his studies to become a doctor.
He is childhood friends with Byung-man but he also feels rivalry towards Byung-man.
Min-su is a smart student who is always the top of his class. He follows and respects his uncle Joon-mo alot. He is a close childhood friend to Eun-joo and has no clue towards how she really feels about him.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Police say a woman has been arrested for allegedly spanking another person's 2-year-old son in a Cincinnati store.
Gloria Ballard was due in a Hamilton County on Wednesday to face an assault charge.
Cincinnati police say the toddler said something that apparently annoyed Ballard inside a Salvation Army store on Tuesday. Police say she then told the boy's mother she didn't know how to take care of her son, put him over her knee, and spanked him three times.
Police say the two women didn't know each other and that the 44-year-old Ballard wasn't given permission to touch the child.
There was no attorney listed for Ballard.

Bill Moyers and Matt Taibbi: Everyone Pays If the Banksters Don't Go to Jail
Journalist Matt Taibbi assesses the Obama Administration's approach to holding banks accountable for their behavior, and early indications are not promising. Taibbi tells Bill that fearing another economic calamity is no excuse for turning a blind eye to shockingly unethical decisions and management.
Full transcript appears below the video:
BILL MOYERS: I t's time to talk with journalist Matt Taibbi. You've seen him on our broadcast before. A contributing editor at "Rolling Stone," he's been tracking the high crimes and misdemeanors of Wall Street and Washington for years.
You're working on a story right now that'll come out in a couple of weeks on the HSBC settlement. That's the, tell me about that, why it interests you.
MATT TAIBBI: Well, the HSBC settlement was a really shocking kind of new low in the history of the too big to fail issue. HSBC was a serial offender on the money laundering score. They had been twice given formal cease and desist orders by the government. One dating back as far as 2003, another one in 2010 for inadequately policing the accounts in their system. They laundered over $800 million for cartels in Colombia.
BILL MOYERS: Drug cartels?
MATT TAIBBI: Drug cartels in Colombia and Mexico. They laundered money for terrorist connected banks in the Middle East. Russian gangsters. Literally, you know, I talked to one prosecutor who's, like, "They broke basically every law in the book and they did business with every kind of criminal you can possibly imagine. And they got a complete and total walk." I mean, they had to pay a fine.
BILL MOYERS: $1.9 billion, a lot of money.
MATT TAIBBI: It's a lot of money. But it's five weeks of revenue for the bank, to put that in perspective. And no individual had to suffer any consequences at all. There were no criminal charges no individual fines, which was incredible. Incredible.
BILL MOYERS: Lenny Breuer also forced the Swiss bank UBS, as you know, to pay a big fine in the LIBOR, the price fixing conspiracy. And that outraged you as well, didn't it?
MATT TAIBBI: This is the, I think the biggest financial scandal of all time. It was a price fixing scandal where, essentially, some of the world's biggest banks got together and they conspired illegally to artificially rig the global interest rates which are based upon this London inner bank offered rate, which is a rate that measures how much it costs for banks to lend money to each other.
This LIBOR rate affects the prices of hundreds of trillions of dollars of financial products. And it goes from everything from credit cards to mortgages to municipal bonds. Basically everything in the world the price is, you know, is somehow connected to LIBOR. And these guys were monkeying around with this for individual profit. And they got, again, a complete and total walk on this. There were no criminal charges, which is just unbelievable.
BILL MOYERS: Did you see the Frontline documentary "The Untouchables?"
MATT TAIBBI: I did.
BILL MOYERS: Then you're familiar with Lanny Breuer's testimony.
MARTIN SMITH in Frontline: The Untouchables: You made a reference to losing sleep at night worrying about what a lawsuit might result in at a large financial institution. Is that really the job of a prosecutor to worry about anything other than simply pursuing justice?
LENNY BREUER in Frontline: The Untouchables: I think I am pursuing justice and I think the entire responsibility of the department is to pursue justice, but in any given case ... prosecutors around the country being responsible should speak to regulators, should speak to experts, because if I bring a case against institution A, and as a result of bringing that case there's some huge economic effect. If it creates a ripple effect so that suddenly counter-parties and other financial institutions or other companies that had nothing to do with this are affected badly, it's a factor we need to know and understand.

Re: Connectify (vs. Intel's My WiFi Technology)
I've personally never used any of these but it would appear from doing a quick reading that the MY WiFi from Intel is only compatible and catered to the Centrino WiFi Adapters, so that limits it by alot right there already compared to the Connectify application.

text: Hailey Sarage '09 (#1, photo) spotted Wesleyan a 1-0 first-half lead over Wellesley Thurs., Oct. 4, by converting a pass from outside the circle by Alex David '10 which was tipped inside the circle by Nat Galgano '11, into a goal at 3:02. It was her fourth goal of the season. It nearly held up as the game-winner but Wellesley rallied for the tying goal with 3:33 to play, getting one past Breen McDonald '10 who finished the game with seven saves including a stop on a penalty stroke (photo insert upper left, courtesy of Scott Porter) in the opening period. After David saved the day with a key defensive save in the opening minute of overtime, Nickels made the Cardinals a winner 4:49 into the extra frame with a sharp-angled sweep shot from the right side which hit off a defender's stick high into the air and into the visitor's net. Of the 18 meetings between Wesleyan and Wellesley, 10 have been decided in overtime. Wesleyan completes its three-game week by hosting Colby Sat., Oct. 6.

Sierra Wireless Introduces Industry's Most Advanced Architecture For Embedded Wireless Communications In M2M
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the global leader in machine-to-machine (M2M) and connected device solutions, today introduced the industry's most advanced architecture for embedded wireless communications, designed to vastly simplify and accelerate the development and deployment of M2M solutions. The architecture will be available across 2G to 4G technologies in the next generation of AirPrime™ embedded wireless modules, which are the world's first to be equipped with:
- Powerful multicore processor with dedicated application core and integrated M2M functionality that simplifies system design, lowers total system cost, and dramatically reduces power consumption
- Built-in connectivity to secure cloud services, providing simple integration of machine data with enterprise applications and convenient remote management that scales easily to millions of devices
- Open application framework with ready-to-use building blocks, including a substantial set of M2M libraries and development tools that save time for embedded software developers and help them get their products to market more quickly
This entire M2M ecosystem on a module is a major step forward in simplifying the integration of embedded wireless communications; thereby enabling developers to spend more time on developing their core application and business model, and spend less time on the challenges of integrating wireless communications, significantly speeding time to market.
"While we are seeing rapid growth in the number and types of devices that include integrated wireless connections, the complexity of building and deploying those devices and their related applications remains a key issue for M2M developers," said Didier Dutronc, Senior Vice President, M2M Embedded Solutions for Sierra Wireless. "Leveraging processing capabilities and dedicated M2M functionality inside the wireless module, as well as pre-integrated cloud services, provides our customers with a simpler, faster, and more cost-effective way to develop and deploy their M2M solutions."
Powerful multicore processorThe 2G versions of the next generation AirPrime modules are powered by the world's first dedicated M2M system-on-a-chip. Built in collaboration with ARM, it integrates a comprehensive set of M2M-specific interfaces with an advanced tri-core architecture that includes a 2G EDGE modem, a dedicated high-speed ARM application processor, and a unique implementation of the ARM Cortex-M0 processor to enable ultra-low power operation.

From the Office of State Senator John Carona
For Immediate Release March 19, 2003 CONTACT: Paul Reyes, (512) 463-0116
State Senator John Carona (R-Dallas) has filed legislation designed to make home equity borrowing more affordable, flexible and individualized while maintaining comprehensive consumer protections for homeowners.
As proposed, the new legislation, SJR 42, would authorize home equity lines of credit, provide for an interpretative authority, allow weekly or semi-monthly payments, establish cure provisions, and provide for a reverse mortgage loan to refinance a home equity loan. Consumers would benefit from the increased savings in interest payments and flexibility in utilizing the funds.
"A home equity line of credit that allows borrowers to only pay interest on the money used can save homeowners thousands of dollars in interest over the life of a typical loan, without sacrificing current constitutional home equity protections," Carona stated. It also gives homeowners immediate access to their money and allows them to create a financial management plan tailored to their needs and financial situation.
In addition, the bill would increase the opportunities for more, lower-priced loans by authorizing state agencies to interpret the loans and therefore provide all interested parties a forum for participating in the process. Many lenders do not make home equity loans in Texas for fear of interpreting the law incorrectly and those that do often raise interest rates to offset the risk.
"By granting state agencies interpretative authority, and encouraging public participation, we can boost both consumer and lender confidence that the loan would ultimately be constitutional and fair," Senator Carona said, adding that any interested party that disagrees with the interpretation retains the ability to file a lawsuit.
Another area of legal ambiguity that the bill aims to address is the area concerning "cure provisions" or the lender's ability to correct certain violations of the home equity lien provisions. Under Texas home equity law, the burden is on the lender to cure any mistake or error within a reasonable period of time after being notified by the borrower. The new bill directs the lender to cure the error by crediting the borrower with any excess payment or modifying the loan agreement to comply with the constitutional requirements.
"My goal is to provide homeowners with greater protection and control of their homes and finances through legislation and enhanced communication about the financial tools available to them, especially in this precarious economy," said Senator Carona, adding that homeowners often suffer from a lack of information about their legal rights and their financial options.

With a few discarded mailing tubes, construction paper, and Fiskars Squeeze Punches you can craft these characters in under 20 minutes.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
To make the apple card, first die cut a circle using the Fuse Creativity System®. Next, using the XL Hexagon Squeeze Punch, create a notch at the top of the circle. Punch a small semi circle on the bottom of the circle next. Add a stalk and leaf to complete the apple.
To make the pencil card, trim pieces of paper to form the different parts of the pencil. Add a tiny strip of metal above the eraser piece. Adhere onto card front and color the tip of the pencil black with a marker.
For the bus card, trim a piece of yellow cardstock to size and then use the Square punch to form the front of the bus. Next, punch circles from black and grey cardstocks to form the bus wheels. Adhere everything onto a card front and add the windows and lights. Add a black line with a marker.
For the chalkboard card, simply trim a piece of green cardstock to fit the card front and round its edges. Add the letters A, B and C to finish it off.

This story must be heard to be fully understood. We recommend pressing play instead of reading.
Don't presume that's a real chorus of kids on the children's music coming out of Nashville studios. More likely, it was someone like Dale Richardson, who owns KidCall Talent and has been singing in a child-like voice on recordings for nearly three decades.
"You just start learning to manipulate your voice," she says. "And I guess I was good at it because I'm still doing it and I'm like an adult."
On a recent Sunday night, Richardson and her troupe of singers were in the studio recording children's praise songs for the Methodist publishing house. After one run-through, they step into the recording booth. But after a few lines, Richardson cuts off her little chorus.
"Can you get younger? Really young," she asks.
As a middle-aged mom, Richardson is by far the oldest in the studio on this evening. Her group includes teenagers and college students, but she's shooting for a seven-year-old sound.
Richardson says teenage girls have the easiest time passing as little tikes, though it still takes some work. Guys have trouble once puberty starts.
Sounding like an untrained child takes real skill, but it's a talent voice coaches tend to frown upon. Richardson says sometimes they'll send a teen to her in order to get some studio experience, albeit singing like a kid.
"A lot of kids today, they sing like they want to be on American Idol," Richardson says. "I'll have a great little singer come in and audition for me. And she's like trying to sound like Beyonce or somebody. And it's like, 'no no no, just sing straight, pure.'"
Richardson's star protégé is – no surprise – her daughter Maggie, who now studies music at Belmont University. Together, they've performed as a younger version of themselves on everything from Veggie Tales albums to baby lullabies. And they're pretty convincing.
Friends and acquaintances often ask Maggie Richardson to sing on the spot.
"They'll find out that I did Veggie Tales or something and they'll want to hear a little sample," she says. "I tell them to close their eyes and don't look at me because I make a weird face when I do it. I smile really big."
Why Not Actual Kids?
Maggie Richardson says children aren't perfect, so she'll intentionally be a little off key from time to time. She says the idea is not to sound like kid robots.
But if perfection isn't the aim, why not just wrangle some neighborhood kids to do the job?
"It's hard to get them to come in exactly on the beat," says Dale Richardson. "Or if we have a really interesting rhythm, it will take them several times to get it."
Time gets wasted on multiple takes, and in a studio, time is money.
Producer Dennis Scott, who has won a Grammy for his children's albums, has tried using untrained children.
"It's a lot harder than it looks because it's precision singing," he says. "Live, you can get away with so many things and if somebody goes off to a wrong note or doesn't end at the right time, it's forgivable. But when you go into the studio, everything is under the microscope. And little things you wouldn't hear live, you hear everything."
Even modern recording software can only fix so much. At the same time, "there ain't nothing like the real thing," Scott says.
His secret to getting a true child sound is having at least one really little kid in the studio, and she or he often sits on a stool closest to the microphone.
"That young timbre, you can fake it only so much," Dale Richardson says. "That pure, just innocent, sweet, bright, it's hard to emulate."

A crime victim also has a right to:
On January 1, 1996, the State of Alabama enacted the Crime Victims' Bill of Rights. These rights, found in Article 3, Sections 15-23-60 through 15-23-84 of the Code of Alabama, 1975, define certain rights granted to victims of crime. Below is the actual law from the Code of Alabama.
As used in this article, the following words shall have the following meanings:
(a) If a victim is physically or emotionally unable to exercise any right established by this article, but is able to designate a lawful representative, the designated representative or person may exercise the same rights that the victim is entitled to exercise. The victim may revoke his or her designated representation at any time and thereafter exercise his or her rights.
(b) If a victim is incompetent, deceased, or otherwise incapable of designating another person to act in his or her behalf, the court may appoint a lawful representative who is not a witness in the case. If at any time the victim is no longer incompetent, incapacitated, or otherwise incapable of acting, the victim may personally exercise his or her rights.
(c) If the victim is a minor, the parent or other immediate family of the victim, or other designated representative as determined by the court, may exercise all of the rights of the victim on behalf of the victim.
Within 72 hours, unless the victim is unavailable or incapacitated as a result of the crime, after the initial contact between a victim of a reported crime and the law enforcement agency either responding to the report of the crime of the victim or another person, or having responsibility for investigating the crime, the law enforcement agency shall provide to the victim in a manner and form designed and produced for the appropriate governmental agency or office, the following information:
(a) Upon written request of the victim, the prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim of all charges filed against the defendant, criminal proceedings, except initial appearances, as soon as practicable, including any changes that may occur.
(b) The victim shall provide to and maintain with the office of the prosecuting attorney a request for notice on a form provided by the agency. The form shall include the telephone number and address of the victim. If the victim fails to keep this information current, his or her request for notice shall be considered withdrawn and void. Except as otherwise provided, all notices provided to a victim pursuant to this article shall be on forms developed and produced for the appropriate government agency or office.
The prosecuting attorney shall confer with the victim prior to the final disposition of a criminal offense, including the views of the victim about a nol pros, reduction of charge, sentence recommendation, and pre-trial diversion programs.
The prosecuting attorney shall confer with the victim before the commencement of a trial. Any information received by the victim relating to the substance of the case shall be confidential, unless otherwise authorized by law or required by the courts to be disclosed.
The rights of the victim do not include the authority to direct the prosecution of the case.
The victim has the right to be present throughout all criminal proceedings pursuant to Section 15-14-50 et seq.
The court shall provide a waiting area for the victim separate from the defendant, relatives of the defendant, and defense witnesses, if an area is available and the use of the area is practical. If a separate waiting area is not available, or its use impractical, the court shall minimize contact of the victim with the defendant, relatives of the defendant, and defense witnesses during court proceedings.
(a) Based upon the reasonable apprehension of the victim of acts or threats of physical violence or intimidation by the defendant, the family of the defendant, or by anyone at the direction of the defendant, against the victim or the immediate family of the victim, the prosecutor may petition the court to direct that the victim or any other witness not be compelled to testify during pre-trial proceedings or to any trial, facts that could divulge the identity, residence, or place of employment of the victim, or other related information without consent of the victim unless necessary to the prosecution of the criminal proceeding. If the court schedules a hearing on the merits of the petition, it shall be held in camera.
(b) The address, phone number, place of employment, and other related information about the victim contained in the court file shall not be public record.
The victim has the right to refuse a request by the defendant, the attorney of the defendant, or by any other person acting on behalf of the defendant, for an interview or other communication with the victim.
The victim has the right to be present at any proceeding at which a negotiated plea for the person accused of committing the criminal offense against the victim will be presented to the court. The court shall not accept a plea agreement unless:
The prosecuting attorney shall provide to the victim the date of a conviction, acquittal, or dismissal of the charges filed against the defendant and prior to sentencing, when applicable, notice of the following:
(a) The victim may submit a written impact statement or make an oral impact statement to the probation officer for use in preparing a pre-sentence report. The probation officer shall consider the economic, physical, and psychological impact that the criminal offense has had on the victim and the immediate family of the victim.
(b) The victim shall have the right to review a copy of the pre-sentence investigative report, subject to the applicable federal or state confidentiality laws, at the same time the document is available to the defendant or his or her counsel.
The victim has the right to present evidence, an impact statement, or information that concerns the criminal offense or the sentence during any pre-sentencing, sentencing, or restitution proceeding.
The victim has the right to the following information:
It is the discretion of the victim to exercise the right to be present and heard, where authorized by law, at a court proceeding. The absence of the victim at the proceeding of the court does not preclude the court from going forth with the proceeding. The right of the victim to be heard may be exercised, where authorized by law, at the discretion of the victim, through an oral statement or submission of a written statement.
(a) Prior to the admission of evidence to the court, on request of the victim, after consultation and written approval by the district attorney or Attorney General, the law enforcement agency responsible for investigating the criminal offense shall return to the victim any property belonging to the victim that was taken during the course of the investigation, or shall inform the victim of the reasons why the property will not be returned. The law enforcement agency shall make reasonable efforts to return the property to the victim as soon as possible.
(b) If the property of the victim has been admitted as evidence during a trial or hearing, the court may, upon request of the district attorney or the Attorney General, order its release to the victim if a photograph can be substituted. If evidence is released pursuant to this subsection, the attorney for the defendant or investigator may inspect and independently photograph the evidence before it is released.
Any custodial agency having physical custody of the prisoner, if provided a request for notice, shall mail to the victim the following information:
(a) The victim shall have the right to be notified, upon written request, that he or she may submit a written statement, or recorded oral transcription, which shall be entered into the prisoner's Department of Corrections records. The statement shall be considered during any review for community status of the prisoner or prior to release of the prisoner.
(b) The victim shall have the right to be notified by the Board of Pardons and Paroles and allowed to be present and heard at a hearing when parole or pardon is considered pursuant to Section 15-22-36 et seq.
Upon written request of the victim, the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, or other facility with custody of the criminal defendant, shall send the victim a copy to the address stated in the request, of its release opinion which was provided to the appropriate court pursuant to Section 15-16-63 et seq.
The victim shall respond to a subpoena to testify in a criminal proceeding or participate in the reasonable preparation of criminal proceeding without the loss of employment or the intimidation, threats, or fear of the loss of employment.
The clerk of the court is authorized and shall accept partial payments from defendants when directed to do so by the court, pursuant to the conditions in Section 12-19-26. The clerk of the court shall disburse restitution to victims or the authorized recipient, including partial periodic payments as ordered under any judgment, decree, or order of the circuit or district court, pursuant to Section 15-18-65 et seq. The disbursements shall be made to the victims or the authorized recipient no later than the time provided in Rule 44, Alabama Rules of Judicial Administration. The clerk of the court shall, at the end of each month, provide to the district attorney and probation office a list of the names of defendants who are delinquent in their restitution payments under a court-approved installment plan or any other deferred-payment time period specified by the court in its sentencing order.
The Attorney General or district attorney may assert any right to which the victim is entitled.
The failure to provide a right, privilege, or notice to a victim under this article shall not be grounds for the defendant to seek to have the conviction or sentence set aside.

Permanent Mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the United Nations
Philippine Statement
Mr. Chairman,
Once again, the Philippines warmly congratulates you for your well-deserved election to and assumption of the Chairmanship of the First Committee.
The Philippines also forthwith takes this opportunity to extend its profound gratitude to delegations for electing it as one of the Vice-Chairs – truly a manifestation of trust and confidence, which the Philippines will hold as a sacred endowment. I would like to assure this Committee that the Philippines will do all the best it can and exert every effort to meet expectations so that we may have a fruitful and productive outcome for this session.
The Philippines associates itself with the statements delivered by Indonesia on behalf of the member countries of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and by Myanmar on behalf of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). However, it wishes to put stress on some issues.
Recent developments relating to the work of the First Committee augur well for achieving desired progress on the key issues of nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation. I am referring to, inter alia, the following:
These developments provide States Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) with the best opportunity to move the Treaty progressively forward. The Philippines calls upon State Parties to seize the opportunity – and not to lose it – and to ensure a successful Review Conference next year which can lead us to a world free from the grave threat of nuclear weapons and one wherein nuclear technology is solely used for peaceful purposes.
Amb. Libran N. Cabactulan of the Philippines, President-elect of the 2010 NPT Review Conference, has begun the process of consultations with NPT States Parties. He has made and will continue to conduct consultations in an open and transparent manner and will be a facilitator or broker of integrity and impartiality. In this regard, the Philippines strongly urges States Parties to work closely with him.
The Philippines stresses the critical need for delegations to be mindful of the tremendous tasks and challenges before us. States Parties to the NPT need to patiently exert their very best effort to fully understand and appreciate the respective positions of countries. Significant differences still remain on key issues within the NPT. Thus, a higher degree of flexibility and a much stronger feeling of shared responsibility are required so that States Parties may succeed in bridging the chasm that still exists.
The Philippines wishes to highlight the following that could contribute to achieving a world free of nuclear arms:
On other developments within the purview of the First Committee the Philippines remains concerned on the following issues:
I would like to conclude by stressing the importance of our current session and its positive outcomes. No difficulty is insurmountable as long as we are all guided by our good faith and our sincerity to cooperate and readiness to be flexible not only for our national interests, but, more importantly, for our collective survival as neighbors in a common habitat – the small Planet Earth now endangered by the climate change crisis.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Exploring the world
Posted on | May 10, 2010 | 16 Comments
Last month I read an author interview at one of my favourite book blogs, Saffron Tree. It was with an author/illustrator I had not previously heard of, James Rumford, but I was so excited by the sound of his work that I immediately tracked down what books of his I could. The first one to arrive through our library system was Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta 1325-1354 and in a rather fortuitous way, this awe-inspiring book was just perfect to accompany our postcard swap activities.
At first glance, James Rumford's inspiration for Traveling Man might not seem an obvious one for a picture book – this book is essentially a biography of Ibn Battuta, a deeply religious Muslim who lived in the 14th century. However, if you were to pass over this book in the library or book shop both your children and you would miss out on an exquisitely beautiful and dream-inspiring story that I think deserves to be read by anyone, young or old, who is interested in exploration, travelling and different cultures around the world.
Ibn Battuta spent almost 30 years travelling from his birthplace in Morocco to China and back, exploring parts of Russia, Persia and eastern Africa along the way. James Rumford tells of his adventures and journeys using rich, vivid and evocative language. For example, of Ibn Battuta's childhood he writes:
On maps, he would trace his finger along scarlet roads to reach the vermilion stars that marked the great cities of the world. on hot afternoons, in an imaginary boat, he would cross cool, peacock-colored seas to the eastern edge of the earth and sail fearlessly into the Ocean of Ignorance.
Additionally, Battuta's tale is peppered with pithy epithets about travelling, such as "Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller."
Rumford's illustrations match his text perfectly in their boldness and powerful sense of place. Each double page spread is a mixture of illuminated manuscript (with lots of Arabic script in gold), map (with sentences from the story winding their way across the page as if following a meandering road), and tableau, showing images of Battuta in far flung locations on his journey.
To my shame, I think this is the first book I've read to M with a Muslim protagonist – it's great to have a fantastic story with an amazing character who just happens to be Muslim (recommendations for more books like this would be much appreciated!) I would say that kids slightly older than mine would probably get the most out of this book as the language is quite demanding for a 5 year old, but M still really enjoyed it. Her favourite aspect of the book was the text weaving its way across the page as if on its own journey.
In the spirit of travelling the globe like Ibn battuta M, J and I marked out our our wall map the countries from where participants are sending postcards as part of the International Postcard Swap for Families. We made little flags using toothpicks and white label stickers (these were simply folded around the toothpicks).
Had I had more time and patience it had been my intention to help the girls draw the flags of participating countries on the bare flags, but instead we used the stickers in the Flags of the world sticker book by Chez Picthall. Although this was very convenient, and probably (I have to admit it!) made it more fun for the girls as they adore stickers, and drawing all the flags would perhaps have turned into something more like a chore, the stickers weren't actually very sticky (a common problem I find with books like these). That said, the book is currently on offer on Amazon for £2.99 and at that price I do think it's worth the money – you get 2 complete sets of the flags of the world, one slightly larger than the other, plus a poster of all the flags and some introductory information about each continent. Flags not associated with countries are also briefly mentioned.
Most importantly, the girls had lots of fun with the stickers, and M became very proud of her knowledge of flags across the world. Indeed, when our first postcard arrived last week, she was able to recognise the Canadian flag precisely because of the little flags we had created.
We stuck our flags on to the wall map in the right place using pieces of blue tack. It was really exciting to see the spread of participants and to think about all the postcards that are crossing the world spreading bit of joy and some book recommendations!
After completing our flag-bedecked map we created our postcards to send to our own swap partners. J finished off the cards she had already started by adding images from 3 of her favourite books – The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, the Frog books by Max Velthuijs (a Dutch author who has been widely translated), and the Dikkie Dik books by Jet Boeke (unfortunately only available in Dutch – they really deserve to be translated!) No! We didn't cut up books but used a mixture of stickers and cut-up wrapping paper and old comics.
M signed the cards and then I added a postcard from me with images of our town on it and everything was put into envelopes with some of our favourite stamps on. Although the whole process was a lot of fun, J was particularly delighted to actually post them in the letter box!
Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta 1325-1354: *** (3 stars)
Here's some of the music we enjoyed whilst we worked our way across the globe:
As for music from around the world specifically for children, if you don't know about the record label Putumayo Kids you've a treat in store. They produce CDs of music from all over the globe and their compilations are generally excellent. A really great way to introduce your kids to world music
Here are some other reference links and projects that could pair nicely with Traveling Man:
Here are some links to posts about their postcards from other families taking part in the swap – enjoy!
If you'd like to help me improve things for a future postcard swap, I'd be grateful if you could answer 4 quick questions about the swap (you do not need to have taken part in the swap to answer the questions): Click here for the postcard swap survey.

Wow! What a fabulous post and what fabulous activities! Hope I am (still?!) like this when Red Ted and Pip Squeak are a little older! Fabulous. Can't wait to get my hands on yet another great book recommendation (I have a shelf of books for "when Red Ted is older"… can't help myself!)
Thank you Zoe!

Laurie Krebs has written a number of books that describe travel. You'll find titles like WE'RE SAILING DOWN THE NILE, WE'RE RIDING ON A CARAVAN (about the Silk Road), WE ALL WENT ON SAFARI (a counting book through Tanzania), WE'RE SAILING TO THE GALAPAGOS, and more. The illustrations are gorgeous and the texts simple (and usually rhyming) for young kids. Her newest books are about the Andes and the rainforest.
I should mention that these are all Barefoot Books, a publisher dedicated to bringing the world to kids, so you might want to explore their web site.
The second half of my thematic book list on maps also has some "global" travel books.
I know there are more! I'll stop back and let you know what I think of.
I'm sorry we missed the postcard swap, but with the semester wrapping up here, I've been overwhelmed. Hopefully we'll join you next time!

We've loved taking part in the postcard swap. Our packages went off today. It's inspired us too and we made hot air balloons today with twine and tissue!
One of our favourite stories about travel is Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett. It's about a meerkat who is fed up of his noisy, large family and sets off on a 'world tour' to find some peace and quiet. It doesn't quite work out how he planned, but I won't spoil the story! The book works on so many levels my beginner reader loves the fantastic illustrations and attention to detail, my 8 year old wanted to go off and find more about the places he visits….

Here is my recommendation that you asked for –
May 10th, 2010 @ 1:26 pm
Hi Liz,
Your hot air balloons sound very exciting! We love Emily Gravett but haven't actually read Meerkat Mail. I shall have to track it down – thanks for the tip.
May 10th, 2010 @ 1:27 pm
Hi Tricia,
You always come up with such good suggestions! I hope some relaxing times are ahead of you once term is over.
May 10th, 2010 @ 1:28 pm
Oh Sathish, Four Feet, Two Sandals looks really interesting AND it's in our library system so i've just reserved it – can't wait to read it now
May 10th, 2010 @ 6:09 pm
What wonderful resources! My kids and I will get lots of enjoyment out of this. Thank you!!!
May 10th, 2010 @ 9:09 pm
Oh Aimee, thanks for your nice comment – it's great to hear you got some inspiration from this post!
May 10th, 2010 @ 9:36 pm
Loved reading this post, Zoe, quite inspiring. Travel Around the World is a wonderful theme to explore with kids.
Loved J's postcards – simple and beautiful!
Putumayo Music CDs are a favorite with us – especially the World Playground. And as Tricia noted, barefoot books are indeed interesting – our favorite is My Granny Went To Market – not just a counting book, but a great introduction to world geography, culture, and travel in general.
This post is packed with goodness, thanks!

Yes – we heart both Rumford and Putumayo CDs
haven't checked this book yet, sounds intriguing.
thanks for leaving the link at ST.

- Architecture Havana has many outstanding examples of Spanish colonial architecture. The UNESCO restoration project currently underway will, over the next decade, transform La Habana Vieja (Old Havana)—a World Heritage Site—into a living museum of colonial architecture.
- Music Havana is almost literally made of music. Musicians, musicologists, and music lovers are the rule rather than the exception in Cuba. In the city's plethora of bars, café, patios, restaurants, rooftops, terraces, and clubs, dozens of sounds and rhythms pulsate nearly around the clock.
- Museums The bustling streets of Havana form a living museum that reveal much about its modern history. The Museo de la Revolución, Museo de Arte Colonial, and the Museo de la Ciudad de la Habana are sources of insight into why the city looks as it does.
- History A walk around Havana offers as much about the city's modern history as it does about its past. Because of the U.S. embargo on Cuba, the city has remained in a bizarre historical time warp for almost 50 years, a unique circumstance that is very much evident in the capital
- Beaches The residents of Havana catch their rays on the Playas del Este, a string of white-sand beaches 20 km (12 mi) east of Havana on the Straits of Florida. The strands themselves are fine, shoaling off into brilliant aquamarine waters over coral reefs; the resorts, however, may disappoint.

The allheart. latex-free pediatric/infant stethoscope features two interchangeable dual-head chest pieces for your small and smaller patients. Made with durable, non-latex 22" PVC tubing. The chrome-plated brass binaurals can rotate for a comfortable fit, and come complete with PVC ear tips. Overall length is 30".
I am pleased with the purchase. I've had no problems so far.
Very difficult to hear heart and lung sounds with neonatal head, but fine with pediatric attachment.
I love the stethoscope, but I was disappointed with the color. The online picture shows it to be a clear Carolina blue, but it is a solid light blue. I think they need to change the color and show the real color that it is.
I purchased this just to have an extra scope in case my Littman happened to disappear, which has occured at various times throughout the year- either by accident or it is borrowed. Anyway, back to this little jewel- the sound is clear and precise- I just wish the earpieces were soft rubber instead of the hard pvc. PS: I work in the NICU.
This stethoscope it great I work with newborns and this is just the right size and has very clear sounds ,it is great even if the infant is crying. It is also very lightweight

Tyson Foods: Meeting New Protein Demands in the Far East
by Jeff Hankins
Posted 10/11/2010 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
(Slideshow: Click for a photo tour of business in China, including shots inside Tyson Foods' Shanghai office. And for more coverage including stories, photo slide shows and video go to ArkansasBusiness.com/China.)
Tyson Foods Inc. of Springdale was among the first U.S. companies to enter the China market and expects to employ, directly or through joint ventures, more than 12,000 people there by the end of 2011.
Bill Teeter, senior vice president of Tyson and general manager of the Asia Pacific Region, arrived in Shanghai in April as part of a corporate restructuring. His experience with food giants Tyson, IBP and Kraft Foods in Latin American emerging markets made him well suited for continued expansion efforts in China.
Protein consumption is growing fastest in China and India, Teeter says, and Tyson is rapidly expanding to meet the demand while doing some things differently.
"Forty percent of the [chicken] farms will be owned by Tyson to guarantee quality," he says, noting that the company typically uses contractors exclusively.
Teeter says the cost of growing chickens is higher in China because corn is $8 a bushel compared with $5 in the United States.
(Video: Click here to watch Jeff Hankins' video report on Arkansas businesses operating in China.)
Years ago, Tyson looked to export parts such as chicken feet that Americans didn't want yet are considered a delicacy in China. Today, Tyson is growing and processing chickens in China and is a strategic supplier to KFC and other restaurant chains.
"KFC generates more profit in China than in the rest of the world combined," Teeter says. In fact, KFC parent company Yum Brands Inc. reports that it has 3,000 restaurants in China — that dwarfs the roughly 900 McDonald's locations — and third-quarter profit grew 7 percent only because overseas sales surged while U.S. sales struggled.
At the 2008 shareholders meeting, Tyson announced its partnership with Jiangsu Jinghai Poultry Industry Group Co. of China. It's now owned by Tyson China Holding Ltd. and will process a million chickens a week when a processing plant with 3,000 employees opens next year.
Other Tyson investments that include a range of chicken and duck processing include Shandong Tyson Dalong Foods Co., established in 2001, and Shandong Tyson Xinchang Co., established in August 2009.

Recently by Mark Sisson: My Healthy Lifestyle Was Killing Me
As we round out the last few weeks of summer, I've been thinking about all the potential left in the season. Although there's admittedly less pressure to grab hold of every last warm day in my current locale, I remember savoring those final weeks of summer in Northern New England. Time was truly of the essence, and we didn't waste a day with both fall and school on the horizon again. No matter where we live, I think summer inspires a leisure we more readily forgo in other months when routine often has greater hold of our days. In the spirit of Primal play — and last week's Slow Living post — here are a few (dozen) ideas for savoring the upcoming weeks. Enjoy, everyone!
- Have a Primal picnic. Surprise someone you love, or gather a rowdy group for a Primal inspired picnic. Throw in some Ultimate or beach volleyball, and you've got a party.
- Go for a walk in the summer rain. Grab you wellies or — even better — go barefoot. Taste the rain. Puddle stomp. Let your mind daydream in the upside reflections of the sky.
- Listen to the nighttime wildlife (e.g. the cicada, frogs, crickets, coyotes, etc.)
- For the remaining weeks of summer and early fall, pick 1-2 veggies a week that are at the peak of their harvest and go to town experimenting with recipes. Bonus: buy a slew of them at the farmer's market while they're cheap, and freeze or can them for later in the year.
- Camp.
- Sit around the fire at night — fire pit, campfire, bonfire, whatever you have.
- Host an impromptu dinner party or summer cocktail hour (al fresco of course). Gather some flowers from your garden for the table. Grill some shrimp in the shell and make a salad. String up some lights, set out some tiki torches, and let the party go well into the night.
- Use it as an excuse to whip up your favorite Primal-friendly/-adapted summer drinks like sangria, bloody Mary, gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, or kicked up old fashioned sun tea.
- Nap in a hammock.
- Attend an outdoor concert or play.
- Sleep as close to nature as you can. Even if you can't camp on a given weekend, pitch a tent in the backyard, or sleep on the porch for a night.
- Have some slow style u201Cquality timeu201D with your partner — whenever and wherever the mood strikes (don't get caught!).
- Create a piece of art — whatever you feel like doing in the moment. Don't stifle the experience with imposed standards. Just see where your mind goes and follow it.
- Visit a new park in your area every weekend. Hit all the stops from wilderness areas to botanical gardens, nature centers to arboretums.
- Build toad or fairy houses with the kids.
- Mud fight!
- Spend a whole day (or at least an afternoon) on the water. Go surfing, rafting, water skiing, river tubing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, or any combination of the above.

Quick apricot chicken casserole
Apricots go really well with chicken, adding a kind of sweet and sour flavour. This is one of my quick go-to dinners — it uses ingredients you usually have in the pantry and is quick and easy. It freezes and re-heats well too, handy for those nights where you can't be bothered cooking but still want something nourishing.
|1 Tbsp
|Whole chicken, cut into pieces, or 8 chicken thighs /drumsticks
|Onions, chopped
|2 cloves
|Garlic, chopped
|3 Tbsp
|Tomato paste
|1 Tbsp
|Sweet chilli sauce
|1 Tbsp
|Fresh thyme, chopped or ½ tsp dried herbs
|1 can
|Crushed tomatoes
|Apricots, halved fresh apricots or a 400g can of apricot halves
|1 cup
|1 tsp
|Chicken stock, powdered
- Heat oil in a large frying pan or saucepan and brown chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes on both sides until lightly browned. Set chicken aside.
- Drizzle a little more oil into the same pan and fry onion and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add back the chicken, along with the tomato paste, sweet chilli sauce, herbs, tomatoes, apricots, water and stock powder. Roughly break up the apricots with a wooden spoon. Stir all ingredients together and partially cover with a lid.
- Simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot with rice, couscous or mash, and greens.

Trademarking & Licensing of LISD Logos
How the New LISD Logo Licensing Program Works
Information for Vendors
A vendor must enter into a licensing agreement with SABRE Trademark & Licensing in order to use the School's trademarks. A license is a written legal agreement between the owner of the trademark (licensor) and a manufacturer/vendor (licensee). This license must be in place before use of the trademarks.
|See Informational Brochure
|Vendor Q & A
To become an official vendor for all Leander ISD products
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What schools are affected by the Sabre Trademark & Licensing Program?
At this time, the trademark and licensing program is only being implemented at the secondary level. The licensing program will not impact elementary campuses, elementary PTAs or their fundraisers.
How does the SABRE Trademark & Licensing's Program benefit Student Organizations, Booster Clubs and other groups like PTAs who sell merchandise to the public?
Student Organizations, Booster Clubs and other groups like PTAs are an important ally in the implementation of the Licensing Program. These groups are an excellent resource to help the schools ensure that only officially licensed product is being sold in the market.
The Licensing Program helps protect these groups from trademark infringement and from unlicensed competitors. When a Licensing Program is implemented these groups typically see their sales and their profits increase as demand for officially licensed school merchandise increases and the number of licensed vendors is limited.
Compliance with the Licensing Program is easy for these groups. They simply need to purchase their products only from officially licensed vendors who will ensure that the appropriate licensing fees have been paid and that the proper authenticating hang tags have been attached to the products.
As mentioned above, the LISD exempted student organizations, PTAs, booster clubs, and other like groups from the 75% share. These organizations would only contribute to the legal costs of administering the program, at a rate of 25% of 10%.
Does the trademark license just apply for apparel?
No. Although typical products licensed by the Licensing Program are t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, sweaters, shorts, caps, ties and other articles of clothing, other licensed goods include, but are not limited to, key chains, watches, clocks, jewelry, mugs/glassware, stationery products, leather goods, blankets, rugs, phones, "image" painting on cakes and lamps.
How will consumers identify officially licensed product?
What should schools do if they become aware of unlicensed product in the marketplace?
Schools should immediately report the unlicensed use to SABRE Trademark & Licensing.
