Reading and viewing Western print and satellite TV and their Southeast counterparts recently, it's hard to believe that there is deep understanding about the historical, cultural and economic context of what these media call present day Myanmar and Pakistan.
The staple line of argument among liberal media circles in the West is that the "military junta" or "military regime" in Myanmar and Pakistan need to be changed into liberal democracies along the lines of what politicians, legislators and media pundits in America and Britain seemed to be obsessed with. The illusion that Aung San Suu Kyi, Benazir Bhutto and/or Nawaz Sharif and their coterie of politicos/lawyers are able to devise a alternative, competent and unifying "democratic"political system remains a strong and, at the same time, naive and dangerous one.
Some 8 years ago, at the residence of the British ambassador in Jakarta, I was invited to meet for tea with Michael Aris, husband of Aung San Suu Kyi. I asked him pointedly whether the National League for Democracy which his wife headed was really a viable political organization that could galvanise a sense of national purpose among Myanmar's civic society, particularly among Shans, Karens, Kachens and other minorities. His answer was so carefully guarded that I did not press the point. I had earlier remarked to him that (then) Vice President Megawati Soekarnoputri was still grappling with forging unity within her PDIP party. In other words, for the NLD and PDIP there were limits to riding on the on the charisma of Aung San and Soekarno, to which both Syuu Kyi's and Megawat relied upon for their influence and legitimacy.
Aris and I both agreed that presenting a viable political alternative to the military would have to be one of the priorities of all Aung San Suu Kyi's followers within Myanmar as well as self exciled Myanmarese residing in Thailand, Western Europe and North America. However powerful the military in its power grip , social and economic changes were taking place within the country which required adjustment on the part of the military. Deep down, Myanmar was undergoing vast economic and political changes similar to what took place during the final 10 years of President Soehartos's rule in Indonesia. The key issue was defining the scope and pace of change engaging with the military.
In Indonesia, the political structure of the ruling Golkar, the military and the bureaucracy established in the 1970s and mid 1980s had served its purpose of providing stability but since the 1990s had felt the need to gradually adjust and adapt. As with Indonesia in the 1990s, Myanmar post 2000 was changing fast, and the Myanmar military leadership felt it had to adjust to the realities of Myanmar's growing political and economic interaction with the outside world, not just with its ASEAN co-member states. In fact, a hybrid political transitional arrangement was in the cards since late mid 1990s, recognising the need on both sides to define how much change and how much continuity would be mutually agreeable and realistically feasible. The unsaid transition period would be "a generation", which means at least 15-20 years.
Similarly with Pakistan. General Musharraf may have outlived his legitimacy and political hold as leader of a "front-line state" in the West's war against terrorism. But it is important to recall that when he came to power in October 1999, the Pakistani political public had been fed up with the constant gibbering, grab and greed politics of the Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif governments of the previous eight years. Not to speak of the associated role of "the infamous 22 families" which for long controlled the levers of political and economic power since Pakistan's independence. Just as in Indonesia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, contending ruling civil and military elites have always been beholden to the 3 C's (Chinese Crony Conglomerates) dispensing business and monetary favours in return for political recognition and protection.
The real issue, then, is: do the civilian leaders and their fast-talking lawyers, NGO types and politicians in Myanmar and Pakistan have a credible and presentable alternative to military dominance? Have they also realised that a hybrid "military-civilian transitional system" is the true and only viable one, until the much vaunted "institution building"__political, economic, social__ underpins a truly functioning and sustainable democracy based on a committed civilian based middle class?
BBC World TV is airing a series on "Why Democracy?" based on a survey in several countries across the world it conducted last August. I suspect that it will contain the underlying taxonomy of what the often insufferably condescending British like to claim as Anglo Saxon superiority as pioneers of modern political and parliamentary democracy. It will make little note of the historical, cultural and economic backdrop of how democracies are defined, applied and reinterpreted in terms of each country's historical cultural and economic context. But then the BBC, The British Council and the English language itself, is the last best hope of what Churchill called the need to capture "the empires of the mind" in the wake of Britain's imperial decline.
More sanity is called for about the future prospects of graduated political and economic democracy in Mmyanmar and Pakistan. Instant democracy___openness, free press, rule of law, transparency and other accountability features____are fine for those who can afford it. But for those who still live in despair and desperation, it would be naïve and dangerous to think that feisting Western style democracy would bring about instant solutions on the ground. Witness the current state of the "democracy project" in Iraq and Afganistan.

Brown wants Brooks mayor booted
Commissioner with pending ethics complaint says it's improper for elected official to judge him
Fayette County Commissioner Steve Brown, accused of violating the county's ethics ordinance, is asking for one of the county's three ethics board members to abstain from the inquiry.
Brown contends that Brooks Mayor Dan Langford, one of three appointees to the ethics board earlier this year, should not be involved in the process because he is an elected official and since the town of Brooks "conducts business" with the county.
Brown points out that Langford himself at first questioned his eligibility to serve based on the wording of the county's ethics ordinance which requires each ethics board member to be "a citizen" of Fayette County. The ordinance, however, does not explicitly forbid elected officials from serving on the ethics board.
"Just the working relationship alone between governmental jurisdictions is reason enough for Mayor Langford to abstain," Brown wrote in an email. "Why do we have ethics boards, so elected officials can rein [sic] judgment over other elected officials?"
Brown is accused of violating three county ordinances by making an order to a county employee, disclosing information discussed by the board in executive session and also violated attorney client privilege: the latter two of which he did without first seeking approval from his fellow commission members.
The ethics complaint was filed by fellow Commissioner Robert Horgan, who contends he has written proof of all three violations, contained in copies of emails and a letter sent by Brown.
In the letter to Horgan dated Nov. 12, 2012, Brown admits to "instructing" the county's human resources director to contact the state attorney general's office about legal requirements for releasing the names of top candidates for the county manager's position.
That, Horgan contends, is a violation of county ordinance 2-209(n) which states in part that "Commissioners shall not, acting alone, make suggestions to the department directors or their employees regarding the performance of their duties, nor give instructions to department directors or other employees."
Brown said he was simply trying to find out how to follow Georgia law on the matter. But he added that he didn't feel comfortable getting the legal advice from either county staff attorney Scott Bennett or county consulting attorney Don Comer.
Brown said he does not trust information that comes from Bennett, whose last day is Dec. 31.
Horgan also cited the March 9, 2012 letter that Brown wrote to State Attorney General Sam Olens in which Brown inquired about potential legal action in which the commission would sue itself. Although the letter does not mention it, Brown was specifically referring to a potential effort to have the county's new five-district map ratified by a federal court since the legislature failed to vote on the associated local legislation earlier this year, a fact blamed on a failure to meet public notice requirements.
Brown noted that he was careful to word the letter to Olens in such a way as to not reveal any details about the facts or strategy in the case.
"All I asked is can a county government sue itself, which is exactly what we did. Is asking that illegal?" Brown said.
The county did not sue itself in that case; rather, Peachtree City private attorney Rick Lindsey sued the county in federal court and won an order to enforce the new five-district map.
"I think it's a legitimate question and I don't think you can sue yourself," Brown said, adding that he has a duty as a public official to disclose unlawful activity.
Under the county ordinances, the ethics board is obligated to review the complaint and ultimately take one of the following options:
• No admonishment and no further action;
• A public reprimand and admonishment not to violate the ethics code in the future;
• A formal reprimand;
• Public censure;
• Recommendation for termination, resignation or recall; or
• Recommendation for prosecution in the State Court of Fayette County.
The board can also decide to "admonish, formally reprimand, publicly censure" any complaining party who files a petition determined to be "unjustified, frivolous, patently unfounded or factually insufficient."
The county ethics board, appointed late this year, consists of Brooks Mayor Dan Langford, attorney Sheila Huddleston and Peachtree City financial planner Scott Rowland along with two alternates: Pota Coston, a former criminal investigator for the Internal Revenue Service and Larris Marks, a retired human resources director for the U.S. Army Forces Command.
Should Langford bow out, either Coston or Marks would take his place on the ethics board. Both Coston and Marks were nominated to the board by Brown.
Really, I was just asking for legal opinions.
For the record, I asked for Mayor Langford to abstain for the Scott Bennett hearing for the exact same reasons.
Calling all of us fools for criticizing your performance and calling Haddix out for vomiting his opinions. Glad to see you do have somewhat of a common decency filter. Nevertheless, before you edited yourself I responded to you with a reading suggestion. Something I thought would be helpful to you.
Right here courtesy of The Citizen this very week in the Opinion section.
Humbled by greatness by Rick Ryckeley.
Might want to print that out and tape it to the windshield of that Pontiac Aztec where you can review it on your way to public meetings.
I am only addressing the issue of who is on an Ethics Panel since this has become a mufti-jurisdictional and legal issue.
Judges do not allow elected on their juries because of perceived and/or real conflicts of interest. PTC does not allow elected on our Ethics Panel. Here are the qualifications for a State Ethics Board member:
The Commission consists of five appointed members. Three of the Commissioners are appointed by the Governor (not more than two can be from the same political party), two for terms of three years and one for a term of two years; one member is appointed by the Senate Committee on Assignments for a term of four years; and one member is appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives for a term of four years. The Act provides that members of the Commission can not serve for more than one term. The Act further provides that any person who has qualified to run for office, or has held any federal, state, or local public office within a period of five years prior to appointment is not eligible to serve as a member of the Commission.
As a State Arbitrator I am prohibited from sitting on any panel where I have a relationship with any County or City involved in an arbitration.
By every principle of law Mayor Langford should not be on the Ethics Panel.
The failure here was in the creation of the Panel. The Commissioners should have know better than to have put Mayor Langford on the panel. No elected in Fayette should be on that panel.
Let's start with this - Brown wrote in an email. "Why do we have ethics boards, so elected officials can rein [sic] judgment over other elected officials?" That would be Steve Brown, just so you know. He be the second worse mayor in PTC history.
Then, let us move on to this - Why in the world do you have any right to weigh in on Brown's ethical problems?
Don't you have some ethical
problems of your own? Or are they criminal problems when you steal 12 large from the city.
And then, why do you post on here? Everybody knows you are a liar, a fake and a complete fool. Do you think this crap you post gains you support on council? In the next election? At the 7th level of hell?
Your assertion that no elected official should be on that panel is actually wrong and of course - so are you. You reference the State Ethics Board and the PTC Ethics panel - neither of which is relevant to the brown clown's problems. He is subject to the Fayette County Ethics Board which has different rules from others. You a dopey piece of crap, dude.
Wrong way Haddix. Get a life dude and get out of our life. We don't respect you, we don't need you, we don't care about you. In case this is not clear - I will paint you a picture of a dead frog on your face (or pumpkin's) chest with my tattoo pencil. Any questions?
You must not have read the third paragraph which clearly states that the ordinance does not explicitly forbid elected officials from serving on the ethics board.
It really doesn't matter what state, federal or Iranian laws allow now does it? In Fayette County, elected officials can be appointed to the ethics board. Don't like it? Then by all means, present a case to make the change.
Mr. Brown needs to be reprimanded, let him take his medicine and move on.
More proof!
Not credible!
You are living proof of the phrase....
"Can't see the forest through the trees".
For 4 years you have served, misquoting rules and regulations which focus on small things (small details) but you are unable to focus on what was truly needed....leadership! As a result, PTC has lost valuable time on the real issues like economic development, intelligent growth and development, proper maintenance to our infrastructure, real budgeting, not nickels and dimes and rolling over to service departments when they ask, leading council by dividing up projects and working together ... The list goes on!
You must not have read what I said. I said "principle of law," not what the ordinance says.
Your making a negative proof claim. That does not hold water in law, court or debate. You are required to give reason why he should be on the Panel, which you didn't.
The ordinance does not prohibit OR allow, but no law is stand alone. It also is subject to higher laws and case law. You also must not of read I said, "The Commissioners should have know better than to have put Mayor Langford on the panel."
I make no comment on guilt or innocence, knowing these areas of law far better than you. Nor do I make any assumptions of what the Panel ruling will be. I don't know and neither do you.
What I do know is if found guilty, there is an appeals door widely opened. Is it worth it just to defend having him on?
"I make no comment on guilt or innocence, knowing these areas of law far better than you."
A remarkable statement considering the lack of education by its author.
"What I do know is if found guilty, there is an appeals door widely opened. Is it worth it just to defend having him on?"
Perhaps so Don, if he intends to bilk the public for legal fees following your example.
How to win friends and influence people. Man your the expert.
Sure didnt realize your vast knowledge of the law. Not sure why the city needs to pay for an attorney when we have such a smart Mayor.
Did you get all this legal knowledge while spending $12k of the cities money at the lawyers office while fighting your slander charge that could have been avoided with an appology?
"I make no comment on guilt or innocence, knowing these areas of law far better than you."
Thanks for costing us 12K with your fat mouth and complete ignorance of the law, common sense, or a shred of dignity whatsoever.
No one cares about your self-proclaimed knowledge on "the law," Don. Just try to muddle through your last year in PTC and shut up about issues that don't affect PTC because it's been well established everyone else in this county not named Brown cannot stand you. Go quietly into the silent night or just shut up for once.
By the way, where's the 12K you owe the taxpayers for your stupidity?
"Principle of law"
Which one of your many lawyers that PTC citizens have had to pay for taught this one?
principle of law do you refer? Do you confuse principle of law with ethics? While not mutually exclusive, I would be interested in your reference to principle.
Is it the same "principle" that you use to ignore personal responsibility and personal honor?
It would seem that your references in the area of principles could be called into question based on your own actions. Naturally, no one reading these pages would expect you to see the irony in this.
I realize this is written several levels above your reading skills, Donnie, but it is certainly worth trying to understand at least the basic theme. Maybe pumpkin can read it to you slowly and answer any questions you have about the big words.
Suggested reading assignment for da mayor -
"Humbled by greatness" by Rick Ryckeley, which can be found right here in this week's Citizen. I also recommended this to Steve Brown. Hope it helps.
"By every principle of law Mayor Langford should not be on the Ethics Panel."
That's only because besides despising Steve Brown, he also thinks you're terrible also and voted you off of the regional transportation group. Go cry me a river, Don. Someone who thinks Brown is an idiot and KNOWS you are might be a conflict of interest? Boo-hoo.
Once either you or Brown show something even RESEMBLING ethics instead of your own skin, someone else's hide, or the taxpayer's money, residents having to deal with living under your rule are going to assume the worst.
What about the 12K you owe the taxpayers for your fat mouth?
The thing that would surprise me is if you two ever posted a blog that contained even a scintilla of intelligent comment.
In 2010, the voters elected Steve Brown to represent them and, in my opinion, he has done a very good job and I believe he will do an even better job as Chairman now that Frady, Hearn and Horgan will be gone in seven days. Halleluiah for that!
Do either of you ever go to a commissioner's meeting or even follow what those clowns Frady, Hearn and Horgan have done to our county?
Steve is right - Langford should recuse himself.
Langford doesn't like Brown and Lanford supported every candidate that was running against candidates that Brown supported. The voters solidly rejected, in a landslide, everyone Langford supported - Hearn, Huddleston, Stopford, and Horgan.
Steve Brown deserves a fair hearing against the ridiculous charges Pothead Horgan filed.
Quite obviously, Horgan did not come up with the charges by himself. Horgan lacks the intelligence, writing skills, and command of the English language to have done it without the help of his pals the voters kicked out of office in 2010 and 2012.
You say Dan Langford should be removed because it wouldn't be fair to Steve Brown. But that's not the reason Brown gave. He said "Just the working relationship alone between governmental jurisdictions is reason enough for Mayor Langford to abstain." Brown's reason for removing Langford is ludicrous. No one who had anything to do with any politics could qualify.
Let Langford stay on. He is the only who showed any objectivity in the last ethics complaint. Let him stay on.
Then we can get on with the fair hearing. OK with you?
Been to more commission meetings than you and have a real good idea about where this county is headed. We don't need a Brown/Obama bombthrower who rants against Frady/Bush. We need a real leader. Oddo should be the next commission chair - not the Brown clown.
Are you insinuating that Mr Langford would be more biased than the two gentlemen that Mr Brown appointed?
You question both mudcat and NUK_1 about their lack of intelligent comment, while you go public with your rant? Seriously, Did Steve write this for you?
Just asking.
Mr. Richter
I think Mudcat, NUK1 and Mike King have lived in Peachtree City alot longer than you so before you go on the attack I'd think twice...also, maybe you have no idea how damn abrasive you can be, but nowhere did I see any of them talk to you the way you did to them.
Show a little civility and good citizenship before you start beating up on people especially when voicing your opinion not facts or being aware of any history.
It is so nice to know that I can be away and out of touch for over 3 weeks and can come back to see that nothing has changed with Steve Brown (or Haddix or Richter or any of our other local entertainment). Sure, there are always new details, but the basic theme remains the same and no heavy research is required to catch up. Way to go "Chairman" Brown. You da man! Looking forward to 2013.
Have you ever posted anything that had an ounce of integrity in regards to Steve Brown? You know, the Mayor of PTC that did such a horrendous job that the voters not only booted him out of office by something like a 65% margin but then also said HELL NO when he ran against Ramsey? You know, your boy that was totally in favor of district voting(which I know you hate) and accused everyone against it as being neanderthal bigots? Hey, that's OK, right? Anything to get elected! Oh wait...he's already been found guilty on ethics charges too? GEE....SHOCKER!
I have no doubt that you would have a very difficult time in this county comprising an ethics board that is 100% free of bias. Brown would like to replace a guy who cannot stand him with one of his own two appointees that obviously like him. You think one instance is wrong because you love the demagogue Brown and think the other is right because it favors your deity.
Give me a break.
I've seen the emails...he's guilty as hell of one charge, just like when the bonehead spearheaded violating the Open Meetings Act recently too. Do you not see a pattern of supreme arrogance already? Of course you don't. You're like Hitler followers who lovingly elected the man and praised him because they agreed with him. When anyone brings up anything like his very public stances on DISTRICT VOTING, WESTSIDE ANNEXATION, LUTHERAN CHURCH, ETHICS CHARGE,....you go totally silent and run away as fast as possible because you can't defend him at all.
The other two charges to me are not that significant and are questionable either way. While Brown did himself zero favors blasting County staff and consultants(the kind of behavior that every Brown supporter loves to see him do in public and then whine about why people don't trust Steve,) I don't think a letter to the AG Sam Olens is an ethics deal.
It has ZERO to do with Frady, Horgan, Hearn and before them, Maxwell and anyone else. I never voted for any of those idiots myself, though obviously others did. The charges can either speak for themselves or we can just forget due process and simply make it a popularity contest as you obviously would prefer since Brown is right now slightly above the whale dung level of previous commissioners. Who made the charges doesn't mean jack-crap to me....the charges themselves either have merit or don't.
Should Langford bow out, either Coston or Marks would take his place on the ethics board. Both Coston and Marks were nominated to the board by Brown.
That says it all about Brown's glaring lack of ethics once again.
Just take your deserved punishment that will be minimal and move on.
Steve Brown even writes his own headlines with his antics. Cal really should be thankful for the next 2 years of Brown in charge if he really does get elected commission chair. Good luck Fayette County - hope he doesn't damage you as much as he did PTC.

Another Fine Day for "Innovative" Market-based Solutions
6:00 am in Economy, Education, Wall Street by Peterr
"Charter schools embrace innovative educational practices that encourage competition and hold teachers and administrators accountable for the academic achievement of their students."
Fast forward to last Friday, and let's see how those "innovative educational practices" are doing in practice.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
As they move to close down a network of St. Louis charter schools over the next several weeks, state education officials face a task as monumental and complicated as dismantling an entire school district.
As many as 3,800 children — or about 11 percent of those attending public schools in the city — must find new schools. Their records must be properly preserved and transferred. The school buildings they attended have to be scoured for equipment and materials paid for with federal funds. The 288 teachers and staff who work at the schools must have a better idea of their remaining pay and benefits. And that's not counting the thousands of questions by parents who demand answers.
The Imagine schools [schools run by VA-based Imagine Schools, Inc.] had been on shaky ground all year.
Their scores on the state's standardized tests were well below those of St. Louis Public Schools. The schools were deficit spending. Rent and administrative costs took dollars from the classroom to the for-profit management company that runs them.
A for-profit company, taking money for their profits? No one could have anticipated . . .

Search engine optimization is extremely important for website success, and it pays to have your SEO strategy in place before you begin. Potential customers should be able to locate your site by doing a simple internet search. That's why you want to improve your site's ranking as much as possible. Use these tips to reach your goals.
Give a once over to your server headers if you would like to really cash in on your search engine optimization attempts. Poor server headers will lead to less success. If you need to redirect pages, you must ensure that each server header includes an error or redirect status.
Search engine optimization also optimizes your number of potential customers. Many business to not take this into account when developing their website.
It is important to have descriptive anchor text for all of your links, particularly internal links to other areas of your website. If the text you use is generic, like "click here," you are missing out on a great opportunity to optimize your site a little more. Good keywords in your anchors will get you noticed by the spider crawlers.
Business Bureau
Try joining Better Business Bureau, as well as the Chamber of Commerce, to improve your search rankings. These sites typically will have a link to your website, and this can help if someone does a local search. Additionally, people place more faith into your website if your rating from the Better Business Bureau is good.
Your page rank gets higher the longer time a person remains on your site. Add what Vincent Flanders calls "heroin content" to your site so that people will hang around and shoot up your content rather than leave your site.
Search engine crawlers are always scouring the web for fresh material and updated content. Whenever you update your blog or content, you are making your site more visible to search engines. Furthermore, articles that are well-written are likely to be shared with others. Once your content is share, you can expect additional visitors to your site.
PageRank increases are not just about gaining visitors, but in keeping them on your site. New evidence suggests that the length of time a visitor spends on a website influences the sites rankings. These will have an effect on the ranking of your page. Using discussion boards and forums is an effective way to keep traffic on your website for quite a while.
Your keyword phrases should appear in your titles too. Create an interesting and trendy title, because it will be the first glimpse of your website that users from search engines will get. People are more likely to click on a link that they think will bring them to exactly what they are looking for.
Meta Tags
To improve your search engine rankings, use many variations of your keywords, including misspellings, in your meta tags. Sites that have effective meta tags will show up in more searches for a higher variety of keywords. For example, say your site's keyword is "cat food." In addition to "cat food," you can add "catfood," "kitten food," and "cat chow."
It is important that links in your website and incoming links all include keyword phrases. " as anchor text. The more relevant your links are to your given topic, the higher your ranking will be. Every so often, check through the internal links on your website, and make sure all of them are using keyword links too.
The inclusion of all those individual meta-tags will increase your rankings in search engines. See your meta data as a "call to action" since it appears under several site hyperlinks in search results. A vast majority of content management systems offer you the option of editing your meta description.
If you host video or audio content on your website, try to include transcripts. When you make the effort to include the transcripts, the search engine crawlers will be able to read and rank your page.
Even if all of your content is about the same topic, keep each title or heading interesting, attention-grabbing and unique. The word count of titles should not be high, because more words means the individual words have less impact, and the ones towards the front are very important. The first words are vital for grabbing reader attention.
Site maps make the website easier to navigate and increases the traffic to your different pages. A site map is a list of links that can go to any page on your site. Readers like to be able to move around sites as efficiently as possible.
While the task of learning and using SEO techniques may seem daunting, it is really quite simple. It requires some effort on your part, and a willingness to change how you look at designing your website. Make use of the ideas you've learned from this article, and before long, you will see your search ranking rise.

Pernicious Anemia
Pronounced: Per-nish-us Ah-nee-mee-ah
En Español (Spanish Version)Anemia is a low level of healthy red blood cells (RBC). RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When red blood cells are low the body does not get enough oxygen. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue, pale skin, or irregular heartbeat.
Pernicious anemia is associated with problems absorbing vitamin B12. This vitamin is needed to make healthy RBCs. Over time the low vitamin B12 levels will reduce the number of new RBCs. The sooner pernicious anemia is treated, the better the outcome.
Red Blood Cells
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are many possible causes of pernicious anemia. These include:
- Inflammation of the stomach—atrophic gastritis
Immune system reaction to:
- Intrinsic factor—a protein necessary for vitamin B12 absorption
- Cells that produce both intrinsic factor and hydrochloric acid in the stomach
- Removal of all or part of the stomach
- Genetic defect

Resource centre > Description of IPEN
Description of IPENThe idea behind the International Plant Exchange Network was to develop a model for the acquisition and the exchange of living plant material within the botanic gardens community in respect of the ABS requirements of the CBD. IPEN is a voluntary registration system intending to facilitate the botanic gardens plant exchange in accordance with the CBD provisions. IPEN is characterized by the following aspects:
The backbone of the network is the IPEN Code of Conduct, a three-page document stating the unified policy of the IPEN member gardens (seeIPEN Code of Conduct ). It covers acquisition, maintenance and supply of living plant material by the gardens as well as benefit-sharing. One key element is the above mentioned documentation system with the so-called IPEN-numbers (see "Documentation and IPEN numbers"). The Code further provides a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) to be used for exchanges with institutions that are not member of the IPEN network. Only botanic gardens that commit themselves to act according to the Code of Conduct can become member of the IPEN network. This commitment is expressed with the signature of the IPEN Code of Conduct (see registration). Main principles of the IPEN Code of Conduct are the following:
Documentation and IPEN numbersIf a botanic garden has become IPEN member, the most important thing to do is establishing a computer based documentation system that allows to introduce the IPEN numbers or to modulate the existing system. The system must allow the introduction of IPEN numbers for all plants that shall be distributed. All plant material supplied within IPEN by an IPEN member needs to be accompanied by an IPEN-number that remains connected with that material and its derivatives through all generations to come. With the aid of this number it is possible to trace back where and under which conditions the plant material entered IPEN. So, the first IPEN member garden that supplies a specific plant sample within IPEN has to provide this material with an IPEN-number (see IPEN number). The IPEN number consists of four elements:
Within IPEN the supply of plant material is very easy, as all member gardens share the same policy on access and benefit-sharing and through the IPEN-number one can always easily trace back the origin of the material. If the recipient is not member of IPEN, he will have to sign the IPEN Material Transfer agreement, which will bind him to the same terms and conditions. If at one point an IPEN garden wants to start a commercial use with a given plant material, this material will leave IPEN. Therefore the garden will first have to get the Prior Informed Consent of the country of origin (found in the IPEN number) and find a bilateral agreement with that country on the terms of benefit-sharing. Only then the commercial use may be started. Material can only be provided to an institution for commercial purposes, if this institution has the Prior Informed Consent of the country of origin and has negotiated a bilateral agreement regarding access and benefit-sharing. Thus, IPEN is a closed network of botanic gardens committed to respect and enforce the provisions of the CBD. As all member gardens follow the same policy of the IPEN Code of Conduct, plant material can be exchanged freely between them, but of course only for non-commercial use. |

The resignation of Michael Hervey as Chief Operations Officer of the much-maligned Long Island Power Authority is a nice start at cleaning up a state agency with a history of questionable dealings, among them being polling payments that were linked to efforts to boost New York State Republican politicians like Rick Lazio. But it's only a start.
Here's the problem: LIPA has a long history as a GOP 'turkey farm' — that is, a place (either a government agency or a private company) used as a place to provide salaries to the friends and kin of Republicans and their patrons. (This has the added advantage, from the anti-government Republican point of view, of providing "proof" of the inherent inefficiency of government programs, as well as a pretext to privatize them, when these programs run into problems as a result of being run by otherwise-unemployable political hacks.) Mayor Bloomberg's girlfriend, Diana Taylor, was once LIPA's chief financial officer. A recent New York Times story gives a hint at just how deep the rot runs:
Lynda Nicolino, the former counsel to the Suffolk County Republican Party, earns $260,000 a year as the authority's general counsel. Barbara Ann Dillon, a $125,000 compliance officer, is the daughter of Denis Dillon, the former Nassau County district attorney. Andrew McCabe, an assistant general counsel paid $117,000 a year, is the son of a former top judge in Nassau County.
Other top executives include former aides to the state comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, the former Suffolk County executive, Steve Levy, and the former head of the Suffolk Republican Party.
The executives did not respond to requests for comment.
DiNapoli is the only person on that list who isn't a Republican, and one gets the feeling he was included largely in an effort to stave off angry phone calls from conservative readers. The reality, as various New Yorkers of my acquaintance have stated, is that LIPA is a GOP cookie jar which they want to keep as a cookie jar — Democratic governors who try to appoint non-Republicans to key jobs such as COO run into unbelievably intense opposition from the state GOP.
Speaking of the state GOP, guess who they want to replace Hervey as COO? Patrick Foye, long prominent in local GOP circles and another political hire at LIPA. Anybody think that his elevation to COO will be anything more than yet another fox installed as the head of the LIPA henhouse? I sure don't.

Angels Guided Healing is Divinely Centered Healing.
Many healing arts are based on the belief of energy medicine & divine healing.
The ancient people first practiced energy medicine more than 5,000 years ago and believed that illness, physical ailments and pain could be relieved by resolving imbalances in your life force energy and within the body.
As healing energy flows to all the organs and life systems of the body it helps to restore balance, can open blockages that may be underlying causes of illness, promotes relaxation, reduces muscle tension, relieves stress and can stimulate changes to empower the body to heal itself.
Angels Guided Healing merges the power of your life force energy with the guidance of God's Angels through their rays of healing, love, insight, and protection to help to empower you to become all that you are created to be and to enjoy wellness in all areas of your life.
Each of us has a divine connection to God and to His healing love and wisdom. We are each given an angel or angels to walk with us and guide us on our journey.
As an intuitive who receives Angelic messages and guidance, Aurasainte asks for the intervention of seven Archangels to help promote healing in your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional being.

As divine healing energy flows it can be bring about a blissful state of being with a sense of deep relaxation, inner joy and relief from pain. It can reveal a greater understanding of your purpose in life, promote physical, mental & spiritual healing and bring a knowing of how deeply loved you are.
During a session you may receive divine healing, divine messages, answers to your questions, assurance of which path to take or a release of stress, tension, anxiety, fear and past traumas that can be the underlying causes of illness.
Each session is unique for the messages and healing energies that occur are divinely designed for each person.
Angels Guided Healing Sessions can bring forth healing into any area of your life, which may include:
Your physical Health & Well Being

It is with supreme gratitude that I share with you my seven Archangel companions Archangel Michael, Jophiel, Chamuel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel and Zadkiel who are my guiding force in all that I do.

Many extras included: wine & cheeses in evening, continental breakfast, and valet parking very reasonable!
Older hotel, but very charming.
Great location. Lovely lobby. Good breakfast--fruits and pastry. Very nice wine and cheese in the evening. Nice sized room. Huge tub. Pleasant maids.
Wi-fi is available but doesn't work that well. Room could be updated.
loved the wine and chesse hour . Staff was Great!!
I love the location. We have also stayed at the Beresford on Sutter St. Both are great.
I couldn't get enough signal for wifi to work. I noticed most of the guests were in the lobby. I believe the wifi service there was better. I wasn't able to use my tablet in my room at in order to look up certain locations or restaurants we wanted to visit.
Good location, large room and helpful staff
Dripping faucet, threadbare carpet
Mixed feelings about this place. It makes refreshing change from the bland corporate hotels in downtown SF. Super friendly staff, the wine & cheese is a great way to meet fellow guests and the breakfast (coffee and a pastry - or two) is adequate to get you on your way. I asked for, and got, a quiet room at the back with extra space (but it cost more too). Walking distance of Union Square, a bit further to the convention centre, some good value eating places around.
It just needs some money spending on it: the wifi doesn't work in the rooms, my tv had a VHS tape machine built-in (!), no double glazing (hence the noise), no air-con and old-fashioned heating etc etc. Might be acceptable if it were cheap, but it's not
Tub does not drain well, breakfast is very minimal (no hot water out)
The quietude of our room. The spacious size. The cleanliness. The nice little kitchen.
The wi-fi system sucks. One must sit in the hall or go down to the lobby to get reception.
The friendly staff - front desk and cleaning crew - were so helpful, polite and took care of me. The breakfast was fab. So liked hearing the different languages being spoken.
The Internet connection was dicey - but they sorted out quickly.
Great room, bed, etc.
Very pathetic wifi, only complaint. No king size bed either.
Size of room and cleanliness free wine and cheese at happy hour and free breakfast
Dated rooms and broken tv
The disposable wipes for cleaning shoes, spectacles, etc. are a nice touch and they save on towel, cleaning costs without compromising service. Staff at least gave me a discount when I had to change rooms due to noise.
Way too noisy. I had to change rooms because the first had a window by the street and I could hear everything. Second was smaller, and right next to front desk, so still noisy, but less so. Floorboards tend to creak and the doors don't insulate sound well.
Clean, friendly and centrally located
we didn't get the view we reserved our view was the back of a building
The wonderful and helpful staff as well as the location in the city.
The folks in the room next to us were very noisy and continued their noise through the night finally getting quite when at 3:00 a.m. the folks at the front desk got them to stop their rude behavior.
The staff was helpful and it was near several stores in case you forget anything.
The windows were so thin you could hear every single noise outside.
Wonderful location. Easy access to Union square, theatres, dining. Friendly, helpful staff. Good value for your money.
Room amenities need some upgrading. WiFi is weak, tub spa did not work. Breakfast could include juices and water.
Everything was as we expected it to be. Room was clean and airy.
Although we appreciated the view out into the city from our room, it was a little noisy during the early morning.T
Rooms were large comfortable. Good area.
Maids trying to get in our room. And trying to make us leave early.
super unfriendly staff, thin walls and doors so you can hear everything what is going on in the hallway or room next to you.
location,value, continental breakfast, late afternoon wine and cheese, reasonable valet parking
the location was good
needs imprved cleanliness. More helpfulstaffs.
Location - close to many restaurants, Staff was helpful and friendly, Charming hotel with large staircase and windows that open, Light breakfast and evening wine & cheese included, Room was upgraded room without a request
Water in tub was warm, not hot. The hot tub in the room did not work.

text: The Registry of Motor Vehicles would like to raise awareness to the increased number of motorcycle riders on the roads between April and October. With over 286,000 riders licensed in Massachusetts it is important for automobile operators and motorcycle riders to share the road and be aware of each other. Most fatalities occur on the weekends between 6-9 and involve males ages 25-34. With 58 motorcycle fatalities last year it is important that motorcycle riders are properly educated in all aspects of operation. The RMV's Motorcycle Riders Education Program has helped to train over 62,000 riders since 2001. Also check back for a new motorcycle rider's manual to be available in the upcoming month. Please check our motorcycle section for some helpful tips on the road or to locate the Motorcycle Riders Training Course nearest you.

I believe the owners manual states that I should use 2.7/2.8 quarts of transmission Fluid. When I took it to the shop they poured the three containers (3 quarts). Should I be concerned that more fluid was poured than stated in the manual? Should I try to remove some of the transmission fluid? Or is the 0.2/0.3 quarts extra fine?
Also, when checking the transmission fluid, should the car be hot or I should I allow some time for the car to cool off? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
The additional 10% fluid shouldn't cause any issues as engineers usually take into account such FUBAR factors. Personally, I would be a LOT more concerned if they used regular Dextron III fluid instead of Genuine Honda ATF. You want to check the fluid level with vehicle @ operating temperature right after the engine has been turned off (which is different than most other manufacturers). BTW, this transmission has a drain plug and removing excess fluid is VERY easy. I would politely ask the shop that overfilled the system to bring it back to FULL. -Mark |
Actually the Manual states 2.5 quarts, and one honda delear says that its 2.8 quarts but that they use 3 quarts, and another honda dealer was sticking with the 2.8 quarts only and that the level should be within the hatch marks. Actually I purchashed Genuine Honda ATF from the dealer, so I am good there. I am going to take your advice and go back to the shop so that they can bring it back to FULL - just to be more comfortable. Is it me, or is checking the level of transmission fluid a little bit more difficult than checking the level of motor oil. When I check the motor oil level I always get it right on the dot. But when I am checking the transmission fluid, somehow I am having a hard time locating the level. Should the dipstick be horizontal or vertical? |
Consult a repair manual or the user's manual about how to check the transmission fluid level for your vehicle. I am not familar with your vehicle, but the following is a general procedure that I have used for all the automatics that I have owned. Check the fluid hot. Some dipsticks may have hot and cold marks or holes in the stick. Automatic transmission fluid expands when heated. The fluid level must be measured with the engine running so that the torque converter remains filled. While in the car and with the brake on, move the gear selector through reverse and a forward gear, then back to park. Apply the parking brake and check the dip stick. The oil line may be difficult to see. If the stick picks up oil from the side of the tube when withdrawn, there may be splashes of oil above the full line. If the fill line is obliterated, put the stick back in all the way, and try again. Continue until you get a positive indication of the fluid level. This takes practice and some experience to avoid a false reading. Keep the upper end of the stick elevated above the bottom end. The stick does not have to be perfectly upright and may be lain down as much as 45 degees from horizontal. if the stick is allowed to go level or more, the oil line may creep up the stick or flatten out. When you withdraw the stick, keep a rag or waste paper under its tip to prevent dripping any fluid on painted surfaces. Transmission fluid harms paint. If you can't see the fluid line, rotate the stick to view its other side. In other words, keep fiddling with it until you get a reliable reading. You'll probably have to move the stick from under the hood out into better light to see the level (hense the need to catch the drips). |

I would definitely go with the specs in your owners' manual and not what the dealership THINKS your car should have. Most (not all) service writers who you speak to at any dealership have minimal training and even less real-world knowledge so take what they tell you with a grain of salt. |

The pedestrian male was immediately transported to a local hospital where he is currently undergoing medical treatment and specific injuries are unknown at this time.
The suspect vehicle is described as a brown four-door passenger vehicle. Witnesses reported to police there were approximately 2 to 3 males inside the vehicle.
