The session
was held in Geneva from 20 to 29 October 2004. A record
number of more than 160 delegates from the National
Hydrological and Meteorological Services of 55 countries
and representatives of international organizations
attended. CHy is one of eight technical commissions which
advise in the planning, implementation and evaluation of
the scientific programmes of WMO. The Commission discussed
the way forward in water-resources development as a means
of attaining socio-economic benefit for all nations.
Commission addressed the issue of building the capacities of
National Hydrological Services (NHss) in water-resources
monitoring, extreme hydrological events forecasting and
assessing the long term effects of climate change and
variability on the availablity of freshwater. The World
Hydrological Observing System (WHYCOS) programme, had improved the capabilities of the NHSs in
delivering the products required for Integrated Water
Resources Management at the national level. The Commission
called for further efforts to implement WHYCOS and appealed
to donors to support the programme.
order to strengthen
the software part of capacity building, the Commission
adopted a strategic approach to education and training for
the personnel of NHSs.
The Commission put special emphasis
on the standardization and quality-control aspects of
water-resources monitoring, forecasting and prediction and
decided to develop and update standard procedures and
methods in close collaboration with the International
Organization for Standardization and other relevant
Commission took a number of measures to bring into focus the
issues of climate variability and change for reducing risks
in water-resources management. One measure was to stipulate
the criteria for identifying pristine river basins in order
to detect trends. In view of the importance of data exchange
for water-resources management and flood forecasting in
transboundary rivers and in order to study the effect of
increased anthropogenic changes on the flows in rivers and
into oceans, the Commission decided to develop data-exchange
formats and protocols, including metadata. It stressed the
need to work in close colaboration with other UN agencies
such as UNESCO, which are also involved in various facets of
hydrology and water-resources management.
Commission elected Mr Bruce Stewart of the Bureau of
Meteorology, Australia, and Mr
Julius Wellens Mensah of the National Hydrological
Service, Ghana, as its president and vice-president,
respectively for the period 2004-2008. They will be
supported by a team of seven hydrology and water-resources
specialists, working as members of the Advisory Working
Group, and a pool of 110 experts from different parts of the
The 13th session of Regional Association II (Asia) was held in Hong Kong, China, from 7 to 15 December 2004. A total of 102 representatives from 33 out of 35 Members of the Association, 14 observers from five Members of other Regions and two observers from two international organizations attended the session.
The session approved a total of 24 resolutions and established six working groups in the most critical areas for the Region: Planning and Implementation of the WWW; Climate-related Matters; Agricultural Meteorology; Hydrology; Natural Disaster Prevention and Mitigation; and an Advisory Working Group to address issues related to the work of the Association and its subsidiary bodies.
The Association agreed that special attention should be given to the implementation of the regional components of WMO Programmes and activities. Every effort should be made to improve current network performance.
The Association agreed to initiate a process on the establishment of Regional Climate Centre (RCC) network of multiple multifunctional centres and/or specialized centres on a pilot basis.
The Association agreed to establish a pilot project on the provisional of city-specific
numerical weather prediction products to developing countries via the Internet, as well as a pilot project in aeronautical meteorology to assist RA II Members, in particular the Least Developed Countries, to build capacity in providing aviation weather services.
The Association adopted the Strategic Plan for the Enhancement of National Meteorological Services in RA II (Asia) for the period 2005- 2008 and agreed to finalize a similar plan for National Hydrological Services for the same period.
Mr A. Majeed H. Isa (Bahrain) and Mr C.Y. Lam (Hong Kong, China) were elected president and vice-president of the Association.
International Meeting to Review the Implementation of the
Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of
Small Island Development States (SIDS) was held in
Mauritius from 10 to 14 January 2005. The major outcomes
were the Mauritius Strategy and the Mauritius
WMO supports
SIDS in developmental and environmental areas, especially
with regard to natural disaster mitigation, climate
variability, climate change and its potential impacts,
coastal zone management, pollution monitoring over land,
rivers and oceans, assessment and management of water
resources and capacity building.
SIDS are only 1-4 metres above mean sea-level, making them
especially vulnerable to sea-level rise, as well as flooding
and storm surge associated with tropical cyclones, and
tsunamis. Of particular interest to SIDS therefore, in the
wake of the disaster of 26 December 2004, are the ongoing
international consultations on the creation of
a global tsunami early warning system.
brochure covering the specific problems of SIDS is available
from the WMO Secretariat, as well as a poster, fact sheets,
the WMO position paper and a video.

brochure (pdf), position paper, etc., see: http://www.wmo.int/pages/publications/showcase/other_themes_en.html

Some 90 per
cent of all natural disasters are related to weather,
climate and water hazards. At the World Conference on
Disaster Reduction ((WCDR), Kobe, Japan, January 2005), WMO
demonstrated the benefits of its activities in all aspects
of the disaster-risk-reduction decision process, with
particular emphasis on risk assessment and early warning
systems to prevent the hazards from becoming disasters. It
was stressed that disaster-risk prevention must be viewed as
part of a multiple-hazards approach for warning purposes and
that early warnings must be a cooperative effort of National Meteorological and Hydrological
Services with other agencies.
information package on WMOs activities in disaster
reduction is available from the WMO Secretariat and a
Website has been launched (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/drr/index_en.html).
The Website will be an information source for the
risk-management community in both public and private
sectors at national, regional and international levels and
the general public, on WMO activities and capabilities
related to disaster risk reduction.

Research Interests
Materials synthesis-by-design via imprinting
A progressive trend in materials research, driven in part by the continuing miniaturization of technology, has been towards the synthesis of materials at a resolution complementary to an individual molecule of interest. Our research philosophy deals with the rational design of materials on this length scale for applications in adsorption, catalysis, nucleation and chemical sensing. Our objective is to synthesize amorphous materials that possess a precise functional group arrangement within a pore whose size and shape is controlled over the length scale of several Ångstroms to nanometers.

TravelQuest: Colorado, part 2
In the 30 years since its final stretch of road was paved, Colorado's Silver Thread Highway has become a favorite of travelers in search of stunning scenery, wildlife photography or even a secluded trout stream.
A three-hour ride listed at 117 miles, this historic drive began as a footpath for Ute Indians. Next came miners and mules in search of rich ore. Then the railroad reached the heart of Hilsdale County. By the early 1900s, automobiles were making their way along the more accessible portions of this byway.
The Silver Thread Highway stretches from Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison, winds through the high country north of Lake City, weaves up and over Slumgullion Pass and Spring Creek pass and then hugs the Rio Grand after the river emerges from the peaks near Pole Mountain.
Until 1968, this was a gravel road and the first paving projects began along Highway 149.
Now enjoying a national reputation, the Silver Thread Highway, as in its earliest days as a footpath, continues to bring resources and economic development to southwest Colorado.
Primary Points of Interest
Blue Mesa Reservoir: Located in Curecanti National Recreation Area, this 20-mile long reservoir, the largest in the state, is a popular recreation area for anglers, boaters, hikers, campers, and swimmers.
The Gate: This stunning rock formation, which resembles a gate in a fence of mountains, was carved by the Lake Fork of the Gunnison and towers over the river and highway. In this area, there is easy access to the Lake Fork and a public campground.
High Bridge: The railroad bed and trestle of a bridge owned by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad that once spanned the canyon still remain at this site. When the line was abandoned, timbers from the bridge were removed and used to build a school in Gunnison. The road to this area is steep and may not be accessible to all cars.
Alferd Packer Massacre Site: In the winter of 1874, Alferd Packer led five underprepared prospectors into the wilderness. Two months later, Packer emerged alone, looking suspiciously well-fed. He later confessed to killing one crazed man in self-defense and eating the remains of his five companions in order to survive. He was eventually convicted and imprisoned until 1901. His victims are memorialized at this site.
Lake San Cristobal Overlook: A short hike is required to view Lake San Cristobal but is worth the walk. The overlook offers a view of Colorados second largest natural lake and surrounding peaks.
Slumgullion Earthflow: This earthflow, a National Natural Landmark, caused the damming of the Lake Fork and formed Lake San Cristobal. It continues to move up to 20 feet a year.
Windy Point Scenic Overlook: This overlook offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the northern San Juans, fourteeners, and many thirteeners.
Spring Creek Pass: The Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide Trail cross the highway at Spring Creek. This marked site includes an informational kiosk, restrooms, and a nice place for picnicking.
North Clear Creek Falls: Though it is not visible from the road, the cascade of water that appears almost magically out of a meadow at the end of this worthwhile detour will take your breath away. A short drive and walk are required to view one of the most photographed waterfalls in Colorado.
South Clear Creek Falls: Those willing to travel off the beaten path will enjoy the breathtaking beauty of two waterfalls sharing the same name. One of the South Clear Creek Falls can be reached by way of the path from Silver Thread Campground. The trail to the other falls starts from Bristol Head Campground.
Bristol Head: Named by a settler who missed his native Bristol, England, this distinctively shaped mountain is an imposing and impressive figure along the Silver Thread.
Brown Lake/Rio Grande Overlook: On the side of the Silver Thread is an overlook of impressing beauty that showcases the Rio Grande River. At this overlook, look to the skyline and locate the Rio Grande Pyramid. North of the Pyramid is the Stony Pass area, where the mighty 1,885 mile Rio Grande River begins as a little trickle of water.
Rio Grande Reservoir/Stony Pass: Just a few miles north of Creede is the turnoff for Rio Grande Reservoir, which is stocked with fish each summer and is open to boats. A little farther along the road is Stony Pass, a four-wheel drive only road that leads to Howardsville, an old ghost town just outside of Silverton.

Follow us:
View complete primary election results.
Note: Tuesday night's results are not official until they are certified in the next few days.
Rochester City Council
In the Rochester City Council race, where 14 Democrats were running for five open seats, five candidates endorsed by the Democratic Party are winners. Loretta Scott is the lead vote-getter with 16 percent; incumbent Carolee Conklin is next with 14 percent; Matt Haag, a political fundraiser at University of Rochester, has 12 percent; incumbent Dana Miller has 11 percent; and downtown Rochester insurance agent Jacklyn Ortiz came in with about 10 percent.
"I am so excited. I'm amazed at the response. I was getting good response on the campaign trail, but you never know, you never know. So to have that level of favor is just amazing. I'm thrilled about it," Loretta Scott said.
Current Rochester City Council President Gladys Santiago and incumbent John Lightfoot did not make the list.
Rochester City School Board
Seven Democrats ran for three seats Tuesday. The three candidates endorsed by the Democratic Party will win those seats.
Incumbent Van White has the highest vote percentage, followed by fellow incumbent Cynthia Elliott. The next highest vote-getter is Jose Cruz. Irondequoit Town Supervisor
Incumbent Supervisor Mary Ellen Heyman pulled out an easy win over her Democratic primary challenger Robert Ament. Heyman will go on to face Republican Mary D'Aurizio on Election Day.
The defeated Robert Ament contacted YNN after the results Tuesday night.
In a statement, Ament said, "We were outspent 10-to-one by the political machines out of Albany and Monroe County. We'd like to thank all our supporters and volunteers. Our town was bought and sold three times over and the people who didn't vote deserve exactly what they expected by not voting." Seneca County District Attorney The primary race for Seneca County District Attorney has been interesting, especially after an investigation of the former sheriff and his department.
Some people were upset with District Attorney Richard Swinehart about not making some reports public, which lost him the Republican Party endorsement and may have been a factor in primary voting.
It appears Richard Swinehart will lose the Republican nomination to political newcomer Barry Porsch.
Swinehart was the only candidate on the Conservative Party line, but he is also losing there to Porsch as a write-in candidate. Swinehart does have a one-vote lead as a write-in candidate on the Working Families line. Wayne County Sheriff
In Wayne County, it looks as though the head of the county jail, Barry Virts, will win the Republican nomination, with the results showing him beating out Palmyra Police Chief David Dalton. Once the results are certified Virts would go on to face Democratic Candidate Terry Pickett, who is a Wayne County sheriff's deputy. Canandaigua Superintendent
It's a close race in what's believed to be the first Democratic primary in the town of Canandaigua's history. The unofficial results for Canandaigua town supervisor show Reid Hankin with a two-vote lead over Sam Casella.
Hankin is a member of the town's parks and recreation committee.He has 153 votes. Casella is a former town supervisor and longtime community leader.
He has 151 votes. Election officials said this one is too close to call right now.

cystnoun \ˈsist\ (Medical Dictionary)
Medical Definition of CYST
cystnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Enclosed sac within body tissues. It has a distinct membrane and generally contains liquid. Most cysts are benign, but several kinds may be malignant or precancerous. Benign cysts often press on nearby organs and require removal. Formed by overproduction of epithelium (surface tissue of anatomical structures), cysts may become detached from surrounding structures and move freely. They can contain natural secretions, abnormal breakdown products, or, in infections, bacteria, larval parasites, and microbial products. Some organs, including the kidney, liver, and breast, can become filled with cysts as a result of cystic diseases that may be dangerous or may hide more serious diseases. See also tumour.

Fish and Wildlife launches wild turkey count
Vermont's Fish and Wildlife Department is asking for the public's help in counting wild turkeys in the state.
The department wants to know how many broods of wild turkeys people are seeing in Vermont, and how many young turkeys, or poults, are roaming with their mothers.
Fish and Wildlife has posted a turkey count survey on its website, and is inviting people to report the numbers of adult males, adult females and poults as well as the date, time and location of the observations.
Officials say the data helps answer questions like how recent weather may be affecting the turkey population. It also helps the department set the length of season and harvest limits for the birds.

New York, November 14, 2005 – The Union for Reform Judaism, the central body of the Reform Jewish Movement in North America, applauds the diligent efforts of Texas congregations and Rabbis to defeat Constitutional Amendment #2 (CA#2) in Texas. CA#2 legalized bigotry by prohibiting the marriage between same-sex couples and implicates domestic partnerships and other private contractual relationships among individuals.
The Reform Movement has long opposed infringement on civil rights. According to Rabbi Marla Feldman, Director of the Commission on Social Action, the Reform Movement has a fifty year history as a strong advocate for Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) rights: "In 1965, the Women of Reform Judaism passed the Movement's first official stance on this issue, calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality. The Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis took their first official stance supporting the establishment of human rights for homosexuals in 1977, and in 1996 and 1997, both groups passed resolutions opposing all government action that prohibits civil marriage equality."
Noting the leadership of the Reform Jewish clergy and congregations in this campaign against the codification of hatred Feldman said, "We commend the Texas leadership of the Reform Movement for standing strong in order to fight for the rights all humans deserve, for truly we are created 'b'tselem Elohim,' - the stamp of the Divine is present in each and every one of us."
Lay leaders, clergy and congregations across Texas have promised to continue the fight for human and civil rights even in the face of this defeat. "One day gays and lesbians in this country will be able to have civil unions and serve openly in the military and not be victims of discrimination," proclaimed Dr. Alan Hurwitz, local organizer of the Jewish Coalition of the No Nonsense in November Campaign. "It is only a matter of when. The most wonderful aspect of the last few months has been to see the tremendous, overwhelming support from the local Houston community, from Rabbis all across Texas, and from national Jewish organizations."
While this election is over, the Union for Reform Judaism stands strongly behind the supporters of civil rights and also continues to champion the right for civil marriage equality. GLBT rights, and the status of legislative efforts across the country, will be discussed at the Union's Biennial Convention, meeting this week in Houston. More than 4,000 lay leaders and clergy from across North America, Israel and the Former Soviet Union will be in Houston for the convention.
The Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism (CSA) is a joint body of the Union for Reform Judaism, representing more than 900 congregations across North America encompassing 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis. The CSA oversees the work of Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C.

Graphing Lines using a Table of Values - Problem 3
To determine if a point is on the line given the equation of the line, plug in the coordinate points into the equation. Remember that coordinate points are written as (x, y), so plug the x-value in for the x variable and the y-value in for the y variable, then simplify. If the equation is true, meaning the two sides equal each other, then the point is on the line of the equation. If the equation is not true, meaning the two sides do not equal each other, then the point is not on the line of the equation.
This problem it's going to be a little different from some of the formats you've seen before. Notice it's not a multiple choice problem, I don't get to choose which answer is right. It doesn't say, 'Which one of the following is right?' This is like two different problems combined into one.
Without graphing determine whether each point is on the line y equals 3x plus 2 my answers are going to look like either yes or no for each one of these two different points. Here's how it's going to go.
Each point has an x number that comes first and then the y number. I'm going to substitute in to the equation and see if I get a true equality or not. For example if my x number is one and my y number is six, let's see if this is true. Is 6 equal to 3 times my x number plus 2, is 6 equal to 5? No so this point is not on the line I didn't have to graph it and I can already tell you that guy wouldn't be on the line.
Let's try this one, my x number is -2, my y number is -4. So is it true that -4 is equal to three times my x number plus two? When you simplify you can see yes, -4 is equal to-4, hurray! That means without graphing I could tell you this point would be on the line. This is a really useful technique for anyone who doesn't like graphing or if you tend to make mistakes when you graph this will be really useful for you. You'll be able to tell whether or not a point is on the line without having to draw the graph. By substituting in the x,y coordinate pairs and see if you get an equality or not.

Motorcyclist injured in accident is released from KU Med Center
May 6, 2009
Matt Gammon, the 25-year-old Baldwin City man injured in a motorcycle accident Friday, was released from the University of Kansas Medical Center Tuesday, according to a hospital spokesman.
Gammon was taken there by helicopter ambulance after the accident at 1:24 p.m. Friday in the 800 block of County Road 1055. Douglas County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Lewis said the accident is still under investigation.
"We still need to interview the motorcycle driver," Lewis said Tuesday.
According to the initial report, Gammon was southbound on 1055 when he attempted to pass a vehicle that was also southbound, but turning into a driveway when the collision occurred, Lewis said. Upon impact, Gammon was sent over the hood of the vehicle, according to the sheriff's department.
Gammon suffered multiple arm and leg injuries, according to a witness at the scene.

W.Va. House Calls On Patriot Coal To Fund Benefits
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) â¿¿ Asking the state Senate to do the same, West Virginia's House of Delegates on Monday called for bankrupt Patriot Coal Corp. to honor its promises to around 23,000 retired miners and their families.
A non-binding measure adopted 93-4 decries the threatened loss of pension and retiree health benefits.
Estimating its liability at $1.6 billion, Patriot has warned it must end coverage for 10,000 retired miners and 13,000 dependents without court-approved relief. These people live mostly in West Virginia and four other states.
The United Mine Workers of America union has targeted Patriot as well as two other St. Louis-based operators, Peabody Energy Corp. and Arch Coal. The union has filed lawsuits alleging Peabody and Arch spun off or sold mines to Patriot to shed the related retiree benefits, setting it up to fail.House Majority Leader Mike Caputo urged support for Monday's resolution. A senior union officer, the Marion County Democrat described how he and other UMWA leaders were arrested at a January civil disobedience protest in St. Louis. "This has happened to steel-line workers, airline workers, bakery workers, glass workers and now mine workers," Caputo said. "Enough is enough. It's time to take a stand." Four Republicans voted against Monday's resolution including Delegate Troy Andes, an official with coal operator Alpha Natural Resources. The Putnam County lawmaker afterward said he empathizes with the Patriot retirees but questions the wisdom of the Legislature weighing in on a pending bankruptcy case. "This case is between the United Mine Workers of America and Patriot Coal," Andes said. Another nay voter, Delegate John McCuskey of Kanawha County, said his law firm represents Patriot and so asked whether he should be excused from voting. McCuskey was required to vote, given the resolution's non-binding nature.

A couple of weeks ago, we read the interview of the Managing Director of the newly constituted Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), Mr. Mustafa Chike Obi on the pages of some national dailies, stating how AMCON will value the 'Toxic Assets' in the banking sector. According to him, the eligible assets to be valued under his administration are in three categories: one, loans that were backed by securities or listed shares of companies, two, loans that are backed by other collaterals or receivables in perfected or perfectible state, and three, loans without collateral: ineligible securities either because they were not perfected or are not perfectible.
Mr. Obi however mentioned the fourth category of assets but did not state how those assets will be valued for sale as he stated that there is a clause in the AMCON Act that allows the Company to acquire what he called "TAINTED ASSETS" and defined those assets as those acquired by bank officials as a result of deliberate mischief including insider loans given to bank officials and relatives, fraudulent loans etc. Further he explained that those 'tainted assets' may be acquired by AMCON but foreclosed the prospect of forbearance to anybody or institution while stating that AMCON is actually precluded by law from granting any forgiveness whatsoever for such loans. In conclusion, he declared that "AMCON will procure such loans with full force of its powers to its fullest extent"
It is clear from the above statement and the enabling laws that AMCON is an establishment owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria, managed through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Federal Ministry of Finance, and that AMCON is an implementing Agency whose operational policies originate from the CBN/Federal Ministry of Finance being the owners and Agencies statutorily responsible for monetary and fiscal policies of the Government of Nigeria. And that its mandate include the disposal of assets owned by (forfeited to) government.
There are at the moment several concerns being raised by the public with respect to AMCON, which include but not limited to how eligible assets will be valued, whether AMCON will use the bank's contribution to AMCON to buy shares in the banks and the role of shareholders and the public in the decision making process of AMCON. There were even law suits trying to stop the establishment of AMCON in the early stage of its conception. However one area that is not yet mentioned in all the reports read and which is not yet made clear to the public is the issue of the STATUTORY REGULATORY LAW AND POLICY that will be applied by AMCON with regard to public procurement (acquisition and disposal of assets), such as the disposal of assets of economic value forfeited to AMCON by court order. There are also concerns on who gives final directives on appraising or estimating the worth of these assets having economic or monetary value before their disposal.
In analyzing the above situation, it will be helpful to draw our attention to the fact that not too long ago, various newspapers in Nigeria, featured articles and opinions on whether such similar forfeited assets to the Federal Government were properly disposed off or not by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Malam Nuhu Ribadu.
In an article by Yemisi Adeniran and Segun Otokiti in the Nigerian Compass of Sunday 04 April 2010 they stated that "An EFCC Asset Sales Committee (a post Nuhu Ribadu) observed that the Attorney-General of the Federation; the Minister of Works; the Accountant-General of the Federation and the Auditor-General, who ought to be parties in the disposal of property forfeited to the Federal Government as stipulated in the EFCC Establishment Act and as required by Financial Regulations 2520 (Revised 2006) were not briefed by the Secretary of the Commission when assets were sold" Further publication claimed that "The Committee observed that the rules for evaluating forfeited property were not followed as Financial Regulation 2509 (d) (Revised 2006) provides for the involvement of the Ministry of Works in the valuation process, while 2510 (Revised 2006) provides for consultation with the Accountant-General of the Federation"
Also that the Committee raised the issue of unilateral appointment of sole Valuers; Manager; Rent Collector and Auctioneer and that this negates the checks and balances necessary for the transparent disposal of the forfeited assets and due diligence in the process of the sales.
It is necessary to add here, for the purpose of record that on the above issues it was also reported in the same medium that the EFCC spokesman, Femi Babafemi stated that although he was aware that a Committee was set up to look into the disposal of some assets, he could not say whether the Committee had submitted its report or not. Therefore, for avoidance of the repeat of accusations and counter-accusations it is important to avail a professional view and advice to the Managers of AMCON and all the stakeholders in the disposal of these forfeited assets to AMCON as a means to ensuring that the rule of law, due process, transparency, fairness and accountability prevail in the resolution of the forfeited assets
Before proceeding further, it is necessary to state the following facts that are not in dispute and to emphasize at this point that what we are concerned with here is FORFEITED ASSETS through a court order as defined in law (and as in the opening statement), and not ELIGIBLE ASSETS defined under the AMCON Act:
1. That the forfeiture of assets from the former Managing Director of Oceanic Bank to AMCON as ordered by court means automatic loss of ownership right (title) to personal or real properties in question by the former Managing Director of Oceanic Bank in favor of the Federal Government of Nigeria through AMCON, for certain offences under the Nigeria law, (or at least as a court ordered compensation for loss or damage to the plaintiff which is Federal Government of Nigeria acting through AMCON/ EFCC).
2. That "AMCON is created as a resolution vehicle to help resolve the crises in the banking system and is expected not only to be fair to all the stakeholders but shall be transparent, accountable and with integrity" - according to Chike Obi
3 That Transparency in Procurement including disposal of assets requires that laws, regulations, institutions, processes, plans and decisions are made accessible to the public at large or at least to "representatives" of the public so that processes and decisions can be monitored, reviewed, commented upon and influenced by the stakeholders, and decision makers can be held accountable for them.
4 That Fairness in Procurement including disposal of assets requires that decisions should be fair and impartial and that public funds/assets should not be used to provide favours to specific individuals or companies, standards and specifications must be non-discriminatory, suppliers, consultants providing services and contractors should be selected in the basis of their qualifications and the merit of the offers, there should be equal treatment of all in terms of deadlines, confidentiality and so on.
5 That Integrity in Procurement including disposal of assets requires that the disposal processes are honest and in compliance with the relevant laws, that the best available, most suitable technical expertise is employed in a non-discriminatory manner, that fair and open competition leads to a quality service at a fair price (value for money) and that the product/service takes into account the legitimate aspiration and concerns of the stakeholders.
6 That Accountability in Procurement including disposal of assets requires that governments, public (government owned or controlled) institutions or corporations and individual officials, on the one hand, and companies executives and agents or other individuals acting on behalf of companies, on the other hand, must be accountable for the correct and complete execution of their tasks and duties and for the decisions and actions being made in their area of responsibility.
On the basis of the above, let us therefore review other facts of law that are not disputable regarding AMCON which include the following:
1. While interpreting the principle of waiver in the case of Ogbonna v AG of Imo State (1992) CLR 2 (b) of February 7th, 1992, the Supreme Court ruled that 'There is a distinction in principle between a non-compliance with a rule and non observance of a statutory provision on a substantive issue. While the former can be waived, the latter renders the act illegal, null and void and of no effect and therefore is not capable of being waived'
2. That AMCON is not a creation of the CBN but a creation by an Act of the Parliament with the Ministry of Finance and CBN as supervisory authorities while the National Council on Public Procurement (yet to be inaugurated) and the Bureau of Public Procurement, are responsible for procurement management policies including disposal of assets in accordance with the provision of the Public Procurement Act 2007.
3. That while the Ministry of Finance is responsible for fiscal policies of AMCON, the CBN is responsible for the monetary policies and the National Council on Public Procurement has overall responsible for the policy on procurement, such for goods, works and services including disposal of any tangible and intangible assets as contained in Section 55 of Public Procurement Act (PPA).
4. That the National Council on Public Procurement with the Minister of Finance as Chairman and the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) serving as the Secretariat was established in 2007 by the National Assembly under the Public Procurement Act of 2007, by virtue of the provisions of Section 4(2)(4)(a) and (b), Chapter II, Sections 5(1),148,177 read together with Part II, 7th Schedule of the 1999 constitution.
5. That in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Public Procurement Act 2007, the Act shall apply to all procurement of goods, works, and services carried out by: (a) The Federal Government and all Procuring Entities (including AMCON), (b) All entities outside the foregoing description which derive at least 35% of the funds appropriated or proposed to be appropriated for any type of procurement described in this Act from the federal share of the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF).
6. That an exemption/waiver in the provisions of the Public Procurement Act 2007 is that it shall not apply to the procurement of special goods, works and services involving national security unless the President's express approval has been first sought and obtained. (This is not strange if Chapter 2 of the 1999 Constitution and the Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Office of the President in Part II , 7th schedule of the Constitution is taken into consideration by any person who may be wondering why the above exemption and the requirement of the express approval of the President on such security procurement).
7. In accordance with Section 55 of the Public Procurement Act 2007, the section shall apply subject to the Public Enterprises (Commercialization and Commercialization Act 1999).
While it is a fact of law that AMCON is specifically exempted or enjoyed statutory waiver in their enabling Act from the provisions of Capital Gains Tax Act or such other laws of the National Assembly on capital gains, it should be noted however that it does not apply in Public Procurement Act 2007.
And bearing in mind that AMCON is owned by Federal Government through Federal Ministry of Finance and CBN, it is therefore required under the law for each to establish a Procurement Department to be headed by a professional and also a Procurement Planning Committee as part of its management structure. By this, we should also be guided by the provisions of Section 4(2)(4)(a) and (b) read together with Part I, Schedule 49 of the 1999 Constitution, where the National Assembly used the powers vested in them by the Constitution to declare Purchasing and Supply (including Procurement, logistics, stores management, warehousing, supply) as a professional occupation.
For the purposes of the procurement Act every procuring entity in Nigeria is also a disposing entity (Section 55 (2) of PPA), therefore AMCON is one of the procuring entities referred to in Section 15 of PPA. Accordingly, Open Competitive Bidding (OCB) shall be the primary source of receiving offers for the procurement, including disposal of any public property offered for sale.
Additionally, Section 55 of PPA states that the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) shall with the approval of the National Council on Public Procurement: (a) Determine the applicable policies and practices in relation to the disposal of all public property; (b)Issue guidelines detailing operational principles and organizational modalities to be adopted by all procuring entities engaged in the disposal of public property; and (c) Issue standardized document, monitor implementation, enforce compliance and set reporting standards that shall be used by all procuring entities involved in the disposal of public property.
That for the purposes of this law, (PPA 2007), public property is defined as resources in the form of tangible and non-tangible assets (ranging from serviceable to the unserviceable): (a) Created through public expenditure; (b) Acquired as a gift or through deeds; (c) Acquired in respect of intellectual or (d) Proprietary rights; (e) Acquired by goodwill and any other gifts of the Federal Government.
Also, the statutory powers of the Bureau of Public Procurement as contained in section 6 of the Public Procurement Act 2007 includes among others to: (a) Enforce the monetary and prior review thresholds set by the Council for the application of the provisions of this Act by the procuring entities, (b) Subject to paragraph (a) of this subsection, issue Certificate of "No Objection", for contract award within the prior review threshold for all procurements within the purview of this Act, (c) From time to time stipulate to all procuring entities, the procedures and documentation pre-requisite for the issuance of Certificate of "No Objection' under this Act; and (d) Where a reason exist: (i). Cause to be inspected or reviewed any procurement transaction to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Act. (This include the inspection of AMCON Assets Disposal transactions) ii) Review and determine whether any procuring entity has violated any provision of this Act; (In this case determine if AMCON has violated any provision of Public Procurement Act in the disposal of Assets).
The supreme court stated in a judgment delivered on 4th October 1991 by Justice Nwokedi in the case of Agbai Vs Okogbue (1991) CLR 10(a) (SC) that the Principles of rule of law are:- (a) The absolute supremacy of law as opposed to the exercise of arbitrary power; (b) Equality of persons before the law; (c) That the constitution is the result of the ordinary law of the land as interpreted by the courts.
Section 20 of the Public Procurement Act 2007 states that the accounting officer of a procuring/disposing entity (in this case the Managing Director of AMCON) shall be the person charged with line supervision of the conduct of all procurement/disposal processes. In the case of Ministries, the Permanent Secretary and in the case of Extra-Ministerial Departments and Corporations, the Director-General; or officer of coordinate responsibility which in this case is the Managing Director of AMCON.
The Accounting Officer (in this case the Managing Director of AMCON) of every procuring entity shall have the overall responsibility for the planning of, organization of tenders, evaluation of tenders and execution of all procurements and in particular shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with constituting the procurement Committee and its decisions; the provisions of this Act by his entity and liable in person for the breach or contravention of this Act or any regulation made hereunder whether or not the act of omission was carried out by him personally or any of his subordinates and it shall not be material that he had delegated any function, duty or power to any person or group of persons.
Also in the judgment of a Court of Appeal, if a person is not competent/has no jurisdiction to do anything, anything that it does, no matter how correct or regular cannot be valid. (See Shell Trustees (Nig.) Ltd v Imani & Sons (2000) CLR 6(b) (CA). In other word, when a person lacks competence or jurisdiction to do anything, anything that it does, no matter how correct or regular cannot be valid. In this case, the legal competence and jurisdiction for the disposal of public assets is vested in the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
In consideration of above submissions and the Oath of Office of the President of Nigeria requiring him to protect Chapter II of the 1999 Constitution, AMCON cannot dispose public assets of certain thresholds limits (to be determined by the National Council on Public Procurement) unless the proceedings and processes for such disposal are supported with certificate of 'No Objection' from the Bureau of Public Procurement, minutes of the Tenders Board of AMCON awarding the disposal and approved by the Board of Directors of AMCON as well as supported with the approval of the President/Federal Executive Council.
A 'No Objection Certificate' to be issued by the BPP in support of the assets disposal proceedings conducted by AMCON is to certify that a due diligence is followed after a procurement audit exercise for the disposal of the assets. In addition, there is at the moment a judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos, by Justice Dan Abutu that the former Oceanic Bank Managing Director should forfeits 199 assets and funds worth over N190 billion in favour of the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). Thus AMCON is required under law to engage on competitive basis, from time to time, such professionals consultants and advisers and other service providers as are necessary or expedient for the performance of its functions.
1 Whether without the National Council on Public Procurement being inaugurated and BPP reconstituted in accordance with Section 7 of PPA and section 11(9) of CIPSMN Act, AMCON can legally value, conduct due diligence and dispose the assets forfeited to them by a court order in accordance with the rule of law and due process, and in a manner that will be generally adjudged by the public, particularly the shareholders of the respective banks, as transparent, accountable, with integrity and fair to all concerned?
The answer is NO, by virtue of the Sections of PPA and CIPSMN Acts quoted above, other legal facts outlined in this report and particularly with respect to the Appeal and Supreme Court decisions also stated above
2. Whether by virtue of the provisions of Sections 5(c ), 6 ,16 and particularly sections 16(1)a-b and Section 16(4) of Public Procurement Act which deals with fundamental principles for procurement in Nigeria and powers of the BPP, the appeal and Supreme Court decisions outlined above, sections 7, and 8 of PPA and section 11(9) of CIPSMN Act 2007. AMCON Board including the, FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE, CBN, SECURITRIES AND EXCHANGE COMISSION, NDIC, etc can enter into an Asset Disposal Contract that will not be considered illegal, null and void in respect of those assets forfeited to AMCON by Court Order?
The answer again is NO. There is no waiver for AMCON with respect to observance of provisions of PPA, they are bound by the provisions of the Act considering the Supreme Court definition of Rule of Law and that 'when there is no legal capacity to do a thing, no matter how well done, the action is invalid'.
In view of the daily unfolding phenomenon about AMCON and the unanswered salient issues regarding the public/shareholders' rights and obligation, it is our candid advice that this professional review be taken into consideration by all stakeholders, to avoid the errors of the past and save AMCON from any further embarrassment.
More importantly, AMCON management and other stakeholders should take into consideration the relevant laws on asset disposal and/or acquisition as it affects public (government) and apply same in the interest of Nigerians.

Japan's Mount Fuji is showing signs of erupting for the first time in 300 years. Fuji is only 60 miles from Tokyo and when it last erupted, in 1707, tons of ash rained down on the city. Tokyo was a much smaller city in those days, but now it contains millions of people who might have to be evacuated if Fuji erupts again.
The number of tremors around the long-dormant volcano rose to 35 last September, after averaging only one or two a month in recent years. The tremors rose to 133 in October, then jumped to 222 in November before falling to 144 in December and sliding back down to 36 in January.
"It means that there is movement of magma down there," says Shigeo Aramaki, a volcanologist at the University of Tokyo. "It is a serious sign, but we don't know where it is moving or where it is going."
An official at the Meteorological Agency says, "This does not mean that it will erupt any time in the near future, just that it bears watching and that monitoring should perhaps be intensified."
Rising over 12,000 feet above sea level in a nearly perfect cone, Mount Fuji is Japan's tallest and most beautiful mountain. As well as being a major tourist attraction, it's a national symbol and an object of worship.
The past few months have seen unusually frequent activity in the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Rim. Two Japanese volcanoes erupted last year, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of homes. Mount Merapi in Indonesia and Mount Mayon in the Philippines are erupting now.
Japan sits on top of the junction of at least 3 tectonic plates, and the movements in the Earth's crust make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. Last September an eruption caused the evacuation of an entire island south of Tokyo.

Symptoms like these only scratch the surface of the daily struggle that people afflicted with posttraumatic stress (PTS) experience.
Just getting through an average day can be agonizing – and people suffering sometimes turn to harmful methods of self-treatment that can compound their torment.
But according to US Congressman Tim Ryan, there's hope . . . and one effective option for relief is mindfulness meditation.
Tim is a vocal supporter of mindfulness, and he's seen how it can impact people coping with the anguish of PTS . . . and why it may even be a way we can stop PTS in its tracks.
Check out this short (2:36) video for more.
Understanding how mindfulness can ease even the most distressing conditions can inspire the ways we integrate it into our work.
During the full webinar this Wednesday, Tim will be telling us more about why the impact of mindfulness practice is spreading rapidly, and how it's transforming lives from kindergarten classrooms to corporate boardrooms.
Here's a look at what you'll hear about:
• The Unexpected Meeting of Politics and Mindfulness
• Transforming School Curriculums Through Mindfulness
• Improving Medicine (While Saving Money) Through Mindfulness
• The Importance of Mindfulness for a Politically Divided Nation
• Mindful Warriors: What Mindfulness Can Do for America's Soldiers
• Google and More: How Mindfulness Can Transform the Economy
It's free to watch the webinar at the time of broadcast, you just have to sign up here.
Have you ever introduced mindfulness to a patient coping with PTS? If so, please share your experience in the comments.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc. ® (Nasdaq:RPRX) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $87.7 million as of June 30, 2013 as compared to $24.2 million as of December 31, 2012.

The major use of cash for operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was to fund our clinical development programs and associated administrative costs. Cash used in investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $531,000 primarily for capitalized patent and patent application costs for Androxal® and Proellex®.Financial Results Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2013, was ($7.2) million or ($0.38) per share as compared to a net loss of ($3.1) million or ($0.21) per share for the same period in 2012.

Notre Dame defense stands and delivers in OT victory over Stanford

Updated: November 15, 2012 6:53AM
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Eighteen inches or so of soggy, chewed-up grass stood between the nose of the football and the goal line, between Stanford and the game-tying touchdown.
Eighteen inches and two snaps of the ball. And everybody in Notre Dame Stadium knew what was coming — Cardinal tailback Stepfan Taylor, right up the gut.
"It's what we do," Stanford coach David Shaw said.
On third down, Taylor was turned back. And on fourth down, Taylor was turned back again, a mass of Irish bodies pushing and shoving —"wiggling and shaking," according to ND nose guard Louis Nix III — against the vaunted Stanford offensive line.
"That's what we do," responded ND defensive end Stephon Tuitt.
Notre Dame's rollicking 20-13 overtime victory over No. 17 Stanford on Saturday not only cleared the path to a BCS bowl game for the Irish — with just two ranked foes left in Oklahoma and USC — it exorcized the Stanford demons, and it affirmed Notre Dame's status as one of the nation's most fearsome defensive units.
The Irish defense has not allowed a touchdown in four straight games now.
"We [are] legit," Tuitt said.
And while wins over Michigan State and Michigan were encouraging, the manner in which Notre Dame pulled this one out made it all the more important.
Late in the third quarter, the Irish trailed 10-3.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Everett Golson had fumbled four times, losing three, including one in the end zone that Stanford's Chase Thomas recovered in the second quarter for the team's only touchdown. Golson nearly had been tackled for a safety twice. He nearly had been intercepted twice. And he had just coughed up the ball again deep in Stanford territory, killing the first decent drive the Irish had in the half.
The Irish were the only team in the country that never trailed.
"I told them at halftime, 'What did you think, we were going to go the whole year and not trail?' " coach Brian Kelly said. "You don't do that in college football, at any level. I said, 'Stick with the plan.' "
And Kelly stuck with Golson — to some fans' chagrin — and he responded by leading a nice drive that ended in a 24-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Eifert on third-and-18, tying the score at 10. Stanford responded with a field goal to make it 13-10 with 6:12 to go, and Golson again had the Irish moving before more adversity hit.
Golson was knocked out of the game on a helmet-to-helmet hit, and in came the closer, Tommy Rees, with 3:18 to go. He guided the Irish to the game-tying 22-yard field goal with 22 seconds left, then overcame a sack on the first play of overtime to throw three straight completions — the last a 7-yard touchdown slant to T.J. Jones.
"We just stayed calm," Eifert said. "You can't get frustrated or start freaking out. Just run the plays that are called, execute them, and make a play when it's there."
That's what Notre Dame's defense did to close things out. Stanford had first-and-goal from the 4-yard line and ran Taylor four straight times. He got to about the 1-inch line — an excruciating review taking place to make sure he didn't get into the end zone, even after both teams and hundreds of students had spilled onto the field.
The call on the field was upheld. The Irish had the win — and the validation.
"We had the will, as a unit. We weren't going to let anyone by us," said safety Matthias Farley, who had his first career interception in the first half. "I feel like the win shows the character of our team. If you're going to come in here, you've got to expect a fight for four quarters."
And sometimes, a little more.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around. Today is the culmination of all our hard work, and let me tell you, it's been hectic.
After all, I said we'd make up for last week.
Freezing Friday is back (with a vengeance!) and it would not have been possible without every single person that pulled it together to help get this all done.
"But Zero-san, why is that?" you ask. "Isn't it just one chapter of Freezing? Probably Freezing: Zero, right?"
You're only half-right, my friends! One chapter of Freezing: Zero, assuredly. But then…
Then there's Freezing: Pair Love Stories.
Yes, yes, I know; the mysterious and long-sought after series we've talked about for ages. This is the project that took so long, and that's because we had to get multiple people to clean and redraw. Thank you darkhellsing for really working hard to get PLS done, man. Hopefully next time will be less rushed and closer to our 110% quality. Also, I can't do this post without thanking both Buchou and Mitsuru-kun for handling typesetting for me on FZZ. You guys did great.
Now, enough of that. Enjoy our hard work, all 100~ish pages of Freezing for you to fawn over. (By the way, I'm really excited about PLS. Looking forward to bringing you guys more of it in the future!)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Gartner has published a new Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring.
The APM market is defined by Gartner in the report as technologies that deliver the functionality outlined in Garter's 5 Dimensions of APM:
1. End-User Experience Monitoring
2. Runtime Application Architecture Discovery, Modeling and Display
3. User-Defined Transaction Profiling
4. Component Deep-Dive Monitoring in an Application Context
5. Analytics
The Leaders in the market include BMC, Compuware, CA Technologies, IBM, Opnet and Quest. Additional Leaders, AppDynamics and New Relic, were new entries in the Magic Quadrant.
HP and Oracle are categorized as Visionaries.
ManageEngine, Nastel and Precise are named as Niche Players.
And Microsoft is the only company listed as a Challenger.
This year, Gartner required vendors to offer all of the 5 Dimensions of APM, as well as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) option to be included in the Magic Quadrant for APM. These two new requirements kept some APM vendors from qualifying this year.
The Magic Quadrant also reports: "By year-end 2012, Gartner estimates that the global spend for APM software licenses and first-year service contracts will grow to $2.14 billion, which represents a 9% growth over the $2 billion spent in 2011."

Senator Coons speaks with WDEL about the controversy surrounding the NSA's surveillance tactics and President Obama's support to directly support Syrian rebels.
Coons tells Delaware's Afternoon News his position falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to the debate over security vs. privacy.
"I think we can and should be both secure and free from unreasonable government intrusion into our communications and Congress ought to be acting as that reasonable counterweight," Coons says.
He says Edward Snowden, the former CIA contract employee who leaked top-secret documents about NSA surveillance programs clearly broke the law--even as a whistleblower--and wishes the issue could have come to light through other means.
Coons also says the Obama Administration's decision to provide direct military aid to Syrian rebels is a direction he's supported since last year.
He says the U.S. can't necessarily control who ends up in charge of Syria, but the American government should still support the rebels.
"What we do know is , who is currently waging a war against his own people, has demonstrated his willingness to use ballistic missles, scud missles, to use chemical weapons to kill innocent civilians in significant numbers," Coons says.
He supports the President's decision, which comes after U.S. Intelligence agencies concluded the Syrian government was using chemical weapons against their own people.
