Rational Solution
Rand Paul's immigration solution seems to be the most rational of anything proposed. It's not amnesty but it's not forced deportations. What should we do round people up and spend billions of dollars doing so and hurt the economy by shipping out labor? or Mitt Romney's voluntary deportation whatever that was? This seems like a good middle ground position that is rational and possible that both sides could come together on it. Although I doubt that would happen.

Of course!
Perfectly rational. And it would be perfectly rational to anticipate the increased flood of immigrants who would be pouring across the border knowing that they would be made "citizens" in short order.
Duh. Close down the welfare state THEN talk about "amnesty". Until then, it is giving the country away to the third world.

Dont know about you...
but I'd rather live in a free nation with a generous immigration system than all of us here living in a tyranny. The devil will be in the details of any agreement. I can deal with illegals who have been here for years being given a path to citizenship, if the US stops having a total open borders, welfare state policy.
You know, most libertarians support open borders? The immigration that the US government allows must be an economic benefit to the country- not a drain. A few years ago, I would have flipped out against any compromise regarding "path to citizenship" for illegals. But in light of the demographic shift and the latest election- I think this is a smart move for Rand.

Better to get ahead of this issue
As far as I can tell Obama and the Senate are all gung ho for amnesty, and I doubt enough members of the House will stand strong, so it is time to take that bull by the horns.

When the government wants to bring in oppressive measures
for use on its own people, starting out with foreigners/aliens is the
often perfect "in".
Example -
All foreigners in Japan are obligated to carry alien registration
cards at all times (except for some ethnic Koreans and Chinese
that were born here, but don't have citizenship).
Japanese are not legally obligated to carry ID.
*But* there are documented cases of Japanese police
stopping and detaining Japanese citizens without ID
justifying it by saying that they don't look or act Japanese
enough, so they must be foreigners, so where's your ID?
"Logical" next step? Make the Japanese carry ID so it can
be determined that they are not foreigners..for their
own protection, of course..
There are reasons for that old Golden Rule.

Well even my Mexican friends that I work with say they don't ever go back across the border because of how bad it sucks down there. I don't blame them. Importing a nations destitute and poor while distributing welfare has serious economic consequences though. The left paired the plaque on the statue of liberty with Johnson's great society and told us it will be okay if we do this. In the 19th century work ready immigrants came and worked and established communities. Now...not so much, their vote is bought with welfare promises and subsidization.

What's the alternative?
Rounding up millions of people like Nazi's and sending them where? To Mexico?
We have no choice, as a nation, to offer a path to citizenship. It's a consequence of not properly enforcing border protection policies.

Ron Paul doesn't even like calling them "illegal"
He always calls them undocumented, and often notes in conjunction that in a truly libertarian society, we'd have an open border.
But yeah, I'm not getting whatever makes this a betrayal on Rand's part.

People who are getting steamed up about this
should probably read a little more into libertarian theory. Most of them are in favor of open borders.
Sure, entitlements make this less contextually viable, but structurally, Rand is doing the right thing. This is about as close as you can get to appealing to moderates and staying ideologically consistent at the same time.

This is what has to be done if we are to create a path to citizenship, which I am completely in favor of doing. Immigration is a good thing. We cannot, however, allow even more people to come and live off of the system.

As a libertarian
As a libertarian, immigration was one of the few issues where I parted ways with Ron Paul. It was not enough for me not to support him obviously. I still am not a fan of birthright citizenship, but I am pretty favorable to the idea of open borders, because if we are a truly free country, individuals should be free to come and go as they wish.
That being said, I applaud Rand Paul's willingness to come up with a compromise on this and mandatory sentences for drug offenders. I think this is a very libertarian thing to do, and I look forward to his next four years.

Immigration is a real
Immigration is a real issue...by which I mean that congress is given the right by section 8 under naturalization to make laws regarding it. Now that being said...whether you agrer with him or not does not matter...its just a difference of opinion. I personally agree with this stance cor the simple reason that the economic cost of deporting them is significant. Besides he says the path should not be easy, just that it should exist...he also wants to stop immigration till they are absorbed, this will anger other countries which will in turn place more pressure on mexico. I think the US will benefit from this. The US has always been built on immigration...the original settlers were illegal immigrants, many immigrants were former business owners in their countries of origin. For instance I worked with a Honduran who owned his own shoe making company until NAFTA destroyed it...he then moved here...ended up working for someone else, but should ue ever choose to there is nothing stopping him from starting his business up again. To me immigrants like him are a net benefit to the country. Most immgrants I have worked with illegal or not were harder working than most of their American Coworkers which translates into higher profits for the companies they work for...which in turn gives extra capital for those companies to either hire more workers or buy more equipment, which in turn benefits the companies which makes that equipment. The argument that immigrants are stealing jobs is just as true as the argument that machines steal jobs...which is to say its a logical fallacy as far as economics go....whether a business owner uses machines or cheaper labor as opposed to more expensive labor, the effect is the business owner saves more money...which he will use to expand his business...he will need equipment which is going to be made by businesses that will need skilled over cheap labor....you see the cycle here....lower costs ALWAYS lead to a healthier economy when you look at the large picture. The other side of the coin is that immigrants dont work for much cheaper than Amercans...for instance that Honduran coworker of mine was only pain less than I was because I was Foreman, not because he was Honduran.....the first job they take they may do cheaply...but they quickly learn the going rate for a set skill and ask it the next time. Another things...all the immigrants I worked with paid payroll taxes and filed income tax right along with me....so I am sorry, but Rand is RIGHT on this issue. I dont believe that we should make the immigration laws more lax...but since they are here already its cheaper and benefits the economy to give them a path to citizenship. We do howevee need to enforce the law strictly in the future...even if it means building a forty billion dollar wall along the border

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know

True..I have no desire for a wall, it was simply an avenue for enforcement....the 40 billion dollar figure is just something I read on how much it would cost to build such a thing. A better solution would of course be to bring our troops home and set them on the border, but under the current political climate the government spending more money on a wall to "create jobs" is far more likely.

Idealy there would be no need for a border fence
People could simply travel back and forth freely with simple border security like we have with Canada. The problems with Mexico run deeper than that, that's another problem the federal government is responsible for and is neglecting. Like you outlined above, the welfare system is an attraction, fix that and it will go a long way to allowing people to come here to work, but not to collect entitlements.

What the heck Reenie?
Why don't you go buy "Liberty Defined" and read Ron Paul's stance on immigration before claiming Rand's a traitor for being willing to work out a solution to the illegal immigration problem.

Nobody has a video? We are just letting the MSN dictate truth???
Just as Ron was always given the benefit of the doubt, we should at least do the same for Rand.
I am sure that what he is for is merely simplification of the code of federal regulations (CFR), thats all.
Immigration law is too complex (just like the tax code) and needs to be simplified.
Right now you are more likely to be deported if you follow the law than if you don't follow the law.
This is what is driving and feeding the criminal elements and enriching law firms who deal in it.
You shouldn't need a lawyer to immigrate but that is the harsh situation today and I suspect Rand wants to simplify it all such that the honest but practical people are properly rewarded for following the process without fear of bankrupting themselves through endless attorney fees and ad hoc/random deportation.

"Here's the problem..."
"There is zero evidence the States had ever surrendered their authority over internal State immigration matters to the federal government. The Constitution's enumerated powers say nothing about immigration. What power not expressly granted means it was expressly withheld."
As a Libertarian, I'm still in favor of the most "openness" possible with regard to immigraion. Building fences is impractical and anti-freedom.

We are a nation of law.
One of those laws is you come here legally, I don't see how it is a good policy to reward someone who has come here illegally breaking the law right away. Sure we cannot deport them, but if they are caught breaking the law while here, out they go.
You know what would happen if you were to illegally immigrate into Mexico? You would be thrown into a Mexican prison if you're lucky. You know why? Because illegal immigration is AGAINST THE LAW and most countries consider it a national security issue, except for us of course.

Your position really isn't much different
from what Rand is talking about. He's talking about working out a deal with the Democrats (They do control the Senate.) - they give us tighter border security, we give them legalization for law-abiding illegals who are already here. Rand does not support letting violent criminals who are illegal stay in this country, much less get put on a path to citizenship. We can't leave things as they are, otherwise, the illegals will keep coming and the only way to get tighter border security and deportation of alien criminals is to give them something they want on this issue. I'm not really for legalizing adults who came here themselves, but, I do get the argument about people brought here as kids. The important thing though, it to make sure that border is airtight while we're legalizing them and make the process as quick as possible.
Once the current illegals are weeded out and the law-abiding ones legalized (not automatically citizenized), there should be a no tolerance policy. You sneak into the country illegally, you get deported - end of story.

My son has Asperger's Disorder. He is now 9 years old. It took me 3 years to get a diagnosis and help in the school setting. Now after all of the *bleep ups* he displays Oppositional Disorder as well. He officially has a diagnosis of Asperger's and ODD. I need help knowing how and where to get services for him....even getting funding for some one to come help him ride a bike, throw a ball properly and how to have play skillls even on his own before and as well as getting into friends and group settings.

With regard to his ODD (which is more common in boys your son's age, rather than girls - although it evens out later) your therapists will decide (along with you) what the best course of action should be. He may need separate therapy, he may need joint therapy, for both conditions. You will also need a lot of support - I can imagine the pain your son is in, but I think your own pain must be equally as difficult. I hope you have friends and family to lean on - do you?
What has your son's doctor said about his combined conditions? If they believe him to need medical assistance, as well as financial help, then your son may qualify for SSI. This decision is made by the SSI office, along with his doctors, in accordance with PA Disability laws. Talk to your doctors about this and apply via you nearest disability office.

Beijing to unleash savings pool
PUBLISHED: 09 Aug 2012 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 09 Aug 2012 07:59:45PUBLISHED: 09 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 09 Aug 2012Angus Grigg and Lisa Murray Shanghai, Jonathan Shapiro
China is preparing to allow foreigners into its bond market and offshore hedge funds to raise money on the mainland, a historic step that would open up the world's largest untapped pool of savings.
The financial liberalisation is part of a plan by Beijing to relax tight capital controls on individuals and eventually make the yuan fully convertible with other currencies.
A senior Chinese government official told The Australian Financial Review that opening up the so-called Panda bond market was a priority for the government.
The policy could create a new source of debt financing for Australian companies, which have mostly relied on investors in the US and Europe.
The changes would allow debt to be raised in yuan on the Chinese mainland. The money could be used to support the Chinese operations of the issuer or potentially be swapped into a foreign currency and taken elsewhere. Mining companies and the big banks would be able to diversify their funding sources and possibly borrow more cheaply.
ANZ's chief China economist, Liu Li-Gang, said the changes were imminent. "This would allow those firms which have been in China for many years to tap into the bond market, which so far they have not been able to do," he said.
China's wealthy investors, who have investable assets worth an estimated $US4 trillion, have limited access to foreign investments because of currency controls. Individuals are restricted to exchanging the equivalent of $US50,000 a year.
AllianceBernstein's director of Asia Pacific Fixed Income, Hayden Briscoe, said the opening up of the world's fourth-biggest bond market could be as significant as Michael Milken's development of the junk bond market in the US in the 1980s.
"Why wouldn't BHP, Rio Tinto or an Aussie miner that is potentially going to be settling their transactions in yuan, raise money in that currency to support projects?" he said.
China has unveiled a series of capital market reforms since the National People's Congress in March. The government widened the trading range for the yuan, gave the market more discretion in the setting of interest rates and allowed foreign investors greater access to stockmarkets.
"What we're witnessing is quite a significant package of reforms directed at bringing more sophistication to the domestic market and allowing foreign investors more opportunities to invest into China," said David Olsson, a partner at King & Woods Mallesons.
"This is all about moving China toward ultimate convertibility of the renminbi [or yuan]."
Opening the Chinese market to foreign hedge funds is seen as one of the next big reforms on Beijing's agenda. A senior figure from China Investment Corporation, the nation's sovereign wealth fund, said this would happen within 12 months.
Other sources believe it could happen by the end of this year.
The changes would allow foreign hedge funds to take money from Chinese investors on the mainland and invest it overseas. They would be licensed under the so-called Qualified Domestic Limited Partnerships.
Three or four of the largest global hedge funds would be licensed first, before allowing in other smaller players. As part of the changes, the hedge funds would be required to establish an office in Shanghai, which wants to become a global financial centre alongside Singapore, London, Hong Kong and New York.
China is gradually liberalising its capital account but recent weakness in the yuan has prompted concerns about the prospect for large capital outflows. To counter that, the government has eased the rules for foreign investors who want to put money in China by making it easier to obtain investment licences.
Late last month it took the first steps toward internationalising the country's debt market. Foreign companies with a local investment licence can now buy bonds on the interbank market and can invest in bonds issued by small and medium-sized firms though private placements.
China's banking system supports the majority of financing.
"The government would like to develop the bond market and encourage debt financing," ANZ's Mr Liu said.
China's $US3.5 trillion bond market is the biggest in Asia outside Japan and is dominated by the government. The corporate bond market, which was valued at $US888 billion in June, about 11.5 per cent of China's GDP, is underdeveloped.
In 2005 the government set up a pilot program to allow a small number of supra-national entities, including the Asian Development Bank, to issue Panda bonds on the domestic market. Some big name issuers, including General Electric, tried to take part in the scheme but were refused. A few investment banks, including DBS, have issued bonds on the domestic market in recent months via locally incorporated entities. But the regulatory burden is generally seen as too onerous and a deterrent for many companies.
Most foreign firms are waiting for the introduction of a more comprehensive Panda bond scheme, which would streamline regulations and allow foreign companies to raise funds by issuing yuan denominated bonds on the Shanghai stock exchange.
The new rule changes introduced last month have boosted speculation that such a scheme will come into play sooner rather than later.
"It will potentially open up very significant sources of capital used for corporate fund raising purposes both domestically and internationally," said Mr Olsson.
"For banks and financial institutions it gives them access to more forms of capital to help them satisfy the new rules under Basel III."
There has been some debate about whether a fully operational Panda bond market would adversely affect the fledgling offshore yuan bond market in Hong Kong, known as the dim sum market.
However, while the mainland market will be bigger and offer direct access to Chinese funds, the dim sum market is likely to be seen as more attractive in terms of transparency and efficiency for some years yet.

To the Chief Executive Officer Addressed:
Bureau of Banking Regulation #8, "Loans Secured by a First Mortgage on Residential Real Estate Payable on Demand", was promulgated effective May 16, 1977. This rule, based upon the provisions of Title 9-B MRSA §241(1), found that the practice of writing residential mortgages on demand is unfair and injurious to the public interest and effectively prohibited the use of a demand feature in residential mortgage lending with the following exceptions:
Since Regulation #8 was promulgated, the Federal Reserve System issued Regulation O, "Loans to Executive Officers, Directors, and Principal Shareholders of Member Banks" (12 CFR §241). This rule stipulates that any loans made by a member bank to any of its executive officers must be "...made subject to the condition in writing that the extension of credit will, at the option of the member bank, become due and payable at any time that the officer is indebted to any other bank or banks in an aggregate amount greater than the amount specified..." by Regulation O. While it is recognized that first mortgages secured by an individual's primary residence are exempt from the aggregate dollar limitations imposed by Regulation O, such loans mustDecember 11, 2006 executive officer obtain other financing in an aggregate amount that exceeds the limitations of the rule.
Several individuals have contacted the Bureau with this seemingly "Catch 22" situation that, complying with Federal Reserve Regulation O, in effect, places the bank in violation of Bureau of Banking Regulation #8 prohibiting demand mortgages.
The Bureau recognizes that Regulation #8 was promulgated in 1977 to provide a general prohibition for loans secured by first mortgages on residential real estate written on demand. Federal Reserve Regulation O identifies a much smaller class of borrowers and mandates the demand feature in certain circumstances as a means to address potential insider abuses.
As a general exception to the prohibition of the demand feature, Regulation #8 provides for the acceleration of a payment when the borrower is found to be in default of the terms of the contract. This provision essentially parallels that found in Regulation O which mandates the acceleration of loans to executive officers only when that officer becomes indebted to another lending institutions in an aggregate amount which exceeds loan limitations permitted under Regulation O. This is a limited demand feature that is triggered by a specific set of circumstances and is not the same as the broader demand feature that is prohibited by Regulation #8.
In summary, while on the surface there appears to be a conflict between the general prohibition against first mortgages written on demand and the requirement under federal Regulation O, the Bureau has concluded that, given the cross-purposes of these rules, no such conflict exists. Therefore, state-chartered financial institutions should structure indebtedness to executive officers to assure compliance with Regulation O. Should anyone have any questions regarding this Bulletin, you may contact Colette Mooney at the Bureau of Banking.

For those ladies that like traveling it is a good idea to not wear tops with spaghetti straps into churches, mosques or temples. Usually there will be signs posted noting a dress code but in some cases you're pretty much on your own. I find that just not showing skin in places of worship avoids any misunderstandings.
I find that ditching shirts with spaghetti straps altogether can be a bit of a problem, especially if you are in a really hot country. The easiest thing to do is just bring either a shawl, light t-shirt or thin cardigan and just toss it over you when you enter the site. Afterward you can just remove it so that you're more comfortable.

Police are seeking witnesses and are asking anyone who was aware of a shooting in the Lound area on Friday, May 23 to come forward after a pet cat was injured and had to have its leg amputated.
The cat's owner heard what sounded like a large single gun shot close to his home at about 5.20am on Friday, May 23. Just under an hour later, about 6.15am, the injured cat – a female tabby – was found struggling back to the house.
She appeared to have been shot and this was confirmed when the animal was taken to the vets for treatment. The cat's leg had to be amputated.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call PC Carlo Di Franco at Lowestoft police on 101.

Chris and Karrueche were both in Houston over the weekend and they may have even stayed in same hotel! See the photographic evidence. Plus, Karrueche was spotted wearing Chris' gold necklace on Feb. 17. Are they hooking up again?
While Rihanna is in London, unveiling her very first fashion collection for River Island, Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran reunited in Houston, Texas. Both were in Houston for All Star weekend, Karrueche was seen wearing Chris' chain at a Sneaker Summit event on Feb. 17 and both were photographed in various rooms of this humungous mansion!
On Feb. 16, Chris was supposed to be at NFL star Adrian Peterson's All Day Foundation event to support the Texas Council of Family Violence and Cornerstone Minneapolis. We're not sure if he attended, but it's obvious that Chris WAS in Houston over the weekend.
Chris rented out the mega mansion, where he and all of his buddies could stay for the weekend. And it looks like Karrueche stayed over as well — and they had a "good time."
Sean Kingston Instagrammed a photo of himself, Chris and a few friends hanging out on the balcony of the mansion. Furthermore, Karrueche Instagrammed a picture of a ceiling on Feb. 17 — the same ceiling as seen on the Houston Mansion's website. She said, "Gnight." Ironically, Karrueche quickly deleted the photo.
We know how Chris likes to give matching jewelry to his girlfriends. He gave a necklace to Rihanna and they have matching watches.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are Chris and Karrueche hooking up again, or did Chris just offer an old friend a place to stay?

Rice cakes is a submissive side piece that men like to keep around. She does what he tells her with no talk back, she's down for anything sexual…at anytime, doesn't have a career so she is always available for whatever he needs, as long as she gets paid, she's basically his personal slave. That's hard to turn down for any man…it aint about love because no man that really love you would treat you that way, and you would never marry a woman that you've treated this way because she will take you to the cleaners later for all the horrible things you did to her with a divorce. Divorce in California, Rice cakes would get half of CB's wealth…..that's the downslide of marrying or impregnating your jump off….payback will be hell.

You need to watch what you say @Mr. J. Calling her, or any Asian-American woman, Rice Cakes, is extremely racist and the same as calling Chris Brown "Fried Chicken and Watermelon." You really need to think about what you're saying and watch yourself. Asian-American women are not submissive playthings. Your attitudes toward women are sexist and antiquated.

I incorporated several Japanese traditional patterns to my design because I believe those patterns deserve more attention as well as Furoshiki. It is interesting that many of those patterns share their roots with ones from Europe because they traveled to Asia via China by changing their appearances little by little. I found those patterns precisely symbolize the spirit of G8 Summit and Environment Ministers Meeting, where different nations with different stakes gather and address global concerns. Therefore, they should be utilized much more in these days.
I divided the Furoshiki into four sections, and I chose unique Japanese traditional pattern for each section. First, a geometrical pattern in the upper right section, "Asa no ha," a pattern of hemp leaves represents strong and healthy growth of lives. Then, in the lower right section, I depicted the shape of ocean waves and a pattern of the ocean waves, "Seigaiha," filling its inside. It shows concerns about rapid changes in our environment in the viral nature. This pattern is usually combined with a pattern of flying plovers,"Chidori," symbolizing good fortune. In order to express that there is still a hope with a good fortune for our future, I arranged them flying upwards over two sections from the lower right to the upper left. In the lower left section, I designed Clematis flowers with Arabesque,"Karakusa," to express early summer days. Clematis flowers usually bloom in early summer when the G8 Environmental Ministers Meeting in Kobe is held.
Four different and interconnected sections let you play with various patterns depending upon how you use it. Folding it into 1/4 size enables you to enjoy each pattern independently, whereas tying each corner to wrap anything inside to enjoy all patterns at the same time.
My overall design represents concerns about the global environmental crisis that should be addressed at the G8 Environment Ministers Meeting in Kobe, and also holds strong hopes for the peaceful and healthy future of our planet.

Worcestershire Hotels
Best Western have 5 hotels in Worcestershire
Worcestershire is a little hidden gem in the West Midlands, a stunning and luscious green county. Its handy location in the centre of the nation, gives visitors easy access to all areas from the North to the South. Best Western has 8 hotels in Worcestershire, spread around, giving clients a good choice between all the county's notable towns and cities, as well as several located squarely in the county's exquisite landscape.
Town and city breaks in Worcestershire
The county has a handful of traditional, peaceful country towns and villages nestled among the rolling green hills and crystal-clear waterways. The picturesque and antiquated feel to the domain's urban pockets can be attributed to the area's early settlement by Roman invaders. Roman Britain saw the town of Worcester growing and thriving as a centre for trade and manufacture, linking northern settlements to those in the South and establishing new popular routes. The ancient Roman town is now the county's administrative headquarters and sits comfortably astride the charming River Severn, overlooked by the impressive twelfth-century Cathedral. At Stourport, you can rent a boat and amble lazily down the beautiful rejuvenated canals, a relaxing way to spend the afternoon before ambling back to your Worcestershire hotel.
Holidays in the Worcestershire countryside
Any of our hotels in Worcestershire will give you quick and easy access to some of the most tranquil and pleasing countryside in England. The terrain varies from, gentle flats to challenging contours. The Malvern Hills, running south of the county into Herefordshire, are made up of volcanic igneous and metamorphic rock. Dating back millions of years, these peaks will really get the blood racing round the body. Another option is to try Worcestershire Way, a 31-mile scenic walk all the way from Bewdley, through the Teme Valley to Great Malvern, or for something less demanding still, any section of the large and attractive canal network provides a pleasant walkway.
Attractions in Worcestershire
While booking your Worcestershire hotel, remember some of the wonderful attractions that the county has to offer. Boat trips along the glistening rivers and canals, horse riding over a variety of stunning terrain, nature trails, country parks and a huge amount of protected park land and wildlife trust terrain. While the kids enjoy a day of monkeying around at the exhilarating treetop obstacle course in the Wyre Forest, the fathers and family friends can enjoy a day out at one of the several large golf courses. For a delightful and memorable family day out, check out the preserved steam trains of the 16-mile Severn Valley Railway, a smooth and pleasing passageway from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth, allowing you to witness the beautiful scenery as it chugs past you to the sound of steam and pistons. Book a Best Western hotel in Worcestershire for a magical holiday. This beautiful green, homely country is everything you could want from a short break and more.

Defining FM in Malaysia
Nazali Mohd Noor recently undertook a research project in collaboration with the Construction Industrial Industry Board of Malaysia (CIDB) to understand the current position of FM in Malaysia. Facilities Management (FM) can be summarised as creating an environment that is cohesive to carry out an organisation's primary operations, taking an integrated view of the infrastructure services and use it to give customer satisfaction and value for money through support for an enhancement of the core business.
However, since FM has been identified as a multi-disciplinary area of development and opportunity, it has resisted a universal definition. Unlike in the UK where the FM market is well established, the Malaysian FM market is still in its infancy and its related duties are fragmented with limited knowledge on the subject. Several branches of the built environment dominants in Malaysia such as property management, building maintenance and assets management defined FM based on their own interpretation resulting FM becoming more ambiguous in the local context.
The research was conducted through five phase's mixed-methods research design in collaboration with Construction Industrial Industry Board of Malaysia (CIDB). Through these alliances, relevant FM stakeholders are identified as the respondents to the research undertaken. The data provided by CIDB were quantitatively analysed and interpreted to represent current trends, understanding and FM practice in Malaysia. The research provides a fresh input on the current position of FM in Malaysia to be commonly shared and emulated by the Malaysian FM stakeholders and the built environment community at large. Part of the results of the study was successfully presented in Malaysia and internationally at the following event:
Mohd Noor, N (2010) Potentials and challenges in the international Facility management – FM dilemma in South East Asia: Case Study – Malaysia, European Facilities Management Summit, organised by Marcusevans International , Cannes France

Introduction to Merit Network's MeritFiber
Merit Network manages the nation's longest-running regional network, which has been in continuous operation since May 1973.The Merit statewide backbone, once provisioned exclusively over carrier-provided circuits, is now composed largely of Merit-owned and provisioned private fiber. Private fiber allows Merit Network to provision nearly unlimited bandwidth on its backbone without the "stair-step" price increases associated with increasing capacity on carrier circuits.
MeritFiber extends the benefits of private fiber for the backbone to the "local loop" circuits that connect our members to our backbone. MeritFiber provides a managed fiber attachment service that encompasses everything from design and bidding to construction and implementation.
To fully appreciate the value of MeritFiber, a brief overview of private fiber follows.
Fiber Basics
Fiber optic cable consists of glass strands designed to guide light along their length.Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending light through an optical fiber.
The light signals are transmitted by lasers placed at each end of the fiber optic path. The lasers are integrated into electronic devices at each end of the fiber that control the transmission and reception of the light signals and the communications flow.
Fiber Capacity
The capacity of the fiber is limited only by the speed of light, which is to say that the capacity is (theoretically) unlimited. However, the nature of the electronics and lasers introduce practical limits. Today, the most cost-effective fiber-optic electronics provide for transmission rates of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Transmission rates can be increased by using more powerful and more expensive fiber-optic electronics without replacing the fiber-optic cable.As laser and electronics technologies advance, and the devices incorporating these improvements enter mass production, higher data rates will be available for lower cost on existing fiber-optic cables.
In short, the fiber is a conduit for the light signals with the transmission rates dictated by the electronics and lasers at either end of the fiber path. To increase transmission capacity, one need only upgrade the electronics Fiber Capacity and lasers at either end of the fiber path; the fiber itself stays the same.
The upshot of all of this is that fiber is a long-term asset (20+ years) that can be used to provide increasing transmission rates without replacing the fiber itself.
Private Fiber on the Backbone
Today, traditional telecommunications carriers own most of the fiber optic cable in the public rights-of-way. They own and manage the electronics and lasers that provision circuits on their fiber, and they charge their customers for "metered usage" of the circuits.For example, a 30 Mbps circuit provided by a traditional carrier is likely to be roughly twice the price of a 15 Mbps circuit, and a 60 Mbps circuit would likely be four times as much, and so on.
This "one-for-one" increase in price as data rates rise may be standard business practice for carriers, but it is one that does not scale in an era of ever-rising bandwidth utilization. Bandwidth utilization for educational organizations is predicted to double every year for the foreseeable future, and under the traditional telecommunications carrier model, this would represent a doubling of cost every year.
Facing this prospect in the late 1990's, statewide and regional education and research networks like Merit Network decided to get into the fiber ownership business to control costs into the future. The capital expense required to build and acquire private fiber-optic cable in the public right-of-way was significant, but the projected reduction in operating costs from the carrier model made for a return-on-investment (ROI) of seven years.
In this way, Merit has been able to replace carrier circuits with privately-owned fiber on an ROI of seven years for an asset that will last for at least 20 years.
Private Fiber for the Local Loop
This same cost-recovery/ROI model applies to not only to Merit backbone circuits, but also to those "local loop" circuits that connect our members to our backbone.Merit Network members pay a single annual fee based on the Internet service level (bandwidth) to which they subscribe (1.5, 3.0, 4.5 Mbps, etc.) This fee actually has two components:
- the cost of the local loop circuit to connect the member to nearest Merit backbone site;
- the cost of the Internet bandwidth delivered from the backbone site to the member.
The cost for the Internet bandwidth component is based on Merit's cost for obtaining and delivering the Internet bandwidth within our network, and it is independent of the local loop cost.
In most cases, the "one-for-one" increase of the local loop costs is a greater barrier to obtaining more Internet bandwidth than the costs of additional Internet bandwidth itself.
However, when the local loop can be provisioned by Merit Network on private fiber, 1000 Mbps capacity can be provided for a flat rate that is typically no more than the cost of a 4.5 Mbps local loop provided by a traditional telecommunications carrier. With the local loop bottleneck removed by obtaining private fiber, educational organizations can grow their Internet utilization without the prohibitive "one-for-one" cost increases of the carrier model.
Advanced Networking Expertise
Merit employs a specialized team of network and software engineers who are available to assist Members with customized design and troubleshooting solutions. Our networking experience includes over 40 years of innovation in the data networking field.

The MSC provides support 24x7, 365 days a year. The Merit Support Center, formerly called the Network Operations Center, has been monitoring high-performance networks since 1987.The MSC assists Members with network connection issues and questions related to services, including MeritMail, MeritVoice, Merit RADb, Merit Colocation, and others. In addition, the Merit Support Center can assist with new service inquiries and provide E-rate support.

According to Zillow's own research, Zillow's median margin of error in Iowa is 5.8%. This doesn't sound like much until one thinks through this statistic. The median, by definition, is that one half of the homes will sell outside the 5.8% range. What does this look like in practice? The average sales price of a home in Ames is approximately $200,000. Lets assume for example that Zilow's Zestimate for a residential home is $200,000. According to Zillow, there is a 50% chance that the sales price will be between $188,400 and $211,600. The total range is $23,200. Conversely, Zillow acknowledges that their Zestimate has a 50% chance of being wrong by more than 5.8%. It is equally likely that the actual sales price might be outside their stated range. Therefore the actual sales price could easily be $185,000 as it might be $215,000? Who knows? We know!! What confidence can this Zestimate give a home seller or a home buyer? By Zillow's own admission, this is precisely why a Hunziker & Associates Realtor is required. We know the market.
Fall Home Checklist
October 14th, 2014Beautiful, brisk fall is here which means winter is right around the corner. Autumn is the perfect time to get your home and yard prepped for the colder months ahead. Take advantage of the mild weather this season and use these maintenance tasks to ensure you and your household are ready before the snow falls.
Inspect and clean out gutters and downspouts- Clogged rain gutters can cause ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. After the leaves have fallen, clean your gutters to remove leaves, twigs, and gunk. Make sure gutters aren't sagging and trapping water; tighten gutter hangers and downspout brackets. Replace any worn or damaged gutters and downspouts.
Seal any gaps or cracks around doors or windows with caulking or weather stripping- Sealing up cracks between trim and siding, around window and door frames, and where pipes and wires enter your house. Preventing moisture from getting inside your walls is one of the least expensive and most important of your fall maintenance jobs. You'll also seal air leaks that waste energy.
Drain all outdoor faucets and irrigation systems- Remove garden hoses from outdoor faucets. Leaving hoses attached can cause water to back up in the faucets and in the plumbing pipes just inside your exterior walls. If freezing temps hit, that water could freeze, expand, and crack the faucet or pipes. Make this an early fall priority so a sudden cold snap doesn't sneak up and cause damage. Time to drain your irrigation system. Even buried irrigation lines can freeze, leading to busted pipes and broken sprinkler heads.
Have a professional inspect your furnace- Schedule an appointment with a heating and cooling pro to get your heating system checked and tuned up for the coming heating season. An annual maintenance contract ensures you're at the top of the list for checks and shaves 20% off the cost of a single visit.
Check fireplaces for soot build-up and/or hire a chimney sweep to do an inspection- To make sure your fireplace is safe, grab a flashlight and look up inside your fireplace flue to make sure the damper opens and closes properly. Open the damper and look up into the flue to make sure it's free of birds' nests, branches and leaves, or other obstructions. You should see daylight at the top of the chimney. Have your fireplace flue cleaned by a professional to remove creosote buildup.

January checklist for a smooth running home
January 2nd, 2014Ames among leaders in density of high-tech start-ups in the country
August 21st, 2013Ames has been ranked among the top cities in the country for having a high-density of high-tech start-up companies.
A report released this week by technology policy coalition Engine and entrepreneurship research association the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation placed Ames at No. 25 in metro areas with the highest ratio of tech start-ups compared to the national average.
Boulder, Colo., was ranked No. 1.
Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation, said several factors, including the presence of Iowa State University, likely helped push Ames to the leader board for high-tech start-up density.
He said the Ames Seed Capital LLC, which generates private capital to help fund start-ups, also could be a critical component for Ames. He said private capital investment has proven over time to be more successful than public funds.
"Ames is in the smallest metropolitan size class and it ranks highly," Stangler said. "Ames had one of the largest increases in high-tech start-up densities between 1990 and 2010."
He said cities that have strong research institutions, such as ISU, have a large talent pool to draw from.
"We see elsewhere in the country, a lot of these start-up hubs, the way they have such a high density is they have an anchor institution or high-growth company that spawns all these other entrepreneurs," Stangler said.
Dan Culhane, president of the Ames Chamber of Commerce, said, "this latest ranking clearly underscores the power of Ames having the good fortune of being the host community to ISU. Make no mistake, this particular ranking points directly to the immense infrastructure we enjoy that is so important to technology starts."
Culhane credited the Iowa State University Research Park and its leadership for Ames' ranking on this list.
"Steve Carter and the Iowa State University Research Park are front and center responsible for a ranking like this," Culhane said. "The Park offers a wide array of support to technology start-ups as well as an environment that is conducive to supporting such endeavors.
"Couple all of this with the Ames Seed Capital Fund, which recently announced a new $1.8 million fund and Ames is well-positioned to provide timely assistance, and capital, to new technology starts," Culhane said.
Stangler, said the challenge for many communities is maintaining the high-tech density over time.
"It's absolutely possible to sustain it, but it's also true it can peter out," Stangler said. "We don't have a good grasp yet on those dynamics as far as what can be done public policy wise to sustain it."

So this morning I signed up for Berroco's Newsletter and took a little tour around their site and found it to be one of the best designed web sites among all of the yarn companies around.
Here's why:
The home page features clean design with clear navigation, engaging photos that direct you to cool knitting content, and most importantly: various ways to interact with Berroco. Whether finding new patterns, signing up for the newsletter, multimedia presentations or discovering the new summer line of yarns Berroco has found ways to make their products seem exciting.
Berroco has tutorials featuring their own yarns. In many tutorials, you have no idea what yarn the person is using. Knowing who has made the yarn, you can actually get a feel for what the yarn would look like if you were knitting it yourself. The yarn in the tutorial looks warm and squishy with an even hand. I know that I am more interested in Berroco as a result.
Their blog is updated regularly and with pictures of things people of knit from Berroco patterns,. It's timely and relevant and I will be returning to stay updated.
I especially love the New This Season page. Sure we have our favorites, but its nice to see an area dedicated to new yarns, patterns and trends so that they can stand out against the existing backlog. It's an excellent base of information from where you can explore other parts of the Berroco site.
Tell me, what are the other well-done yarn company web sites out there?
I'm Angela.
Mom. Wife. Crafter. Succulent Gardener. Co-op Preschool Parent.
What's going on now?
I'm knitting. I've been caring for my two sons, living at my MIL's house, volunteering at our local co-op preschool and gardening. Trying to find time to write and to redefine this blog to embrace my current reality.

Do Not Mention "Perennial" Around Andy Martin
Categories: Palm Beach News, Politics
Here's a radio interview that must be heard to be believed: That's Andy Martin, who used to be a constantly campaigning candidate in Palm Beach County and has since taken his constant campaigning to Illinois, where he's a candidate for U.S. Senate.
As you can hear for yourself, the interview jumps the tracks immediately, after the host introduces Martin as a "perennial candidate." That's an "epithet," according to Martin. As his website makes clear, he is to be introduced by any of the following:
Martin |
- "Fearless Internet Powerhouse"
- "Indefatigable Public Interest Litigator"
- "Radio Talk Show Host With an International Audience on the Internet"
- "Investigative Reporter"

(KMOV) - A St. Peters woman said she came across more than she ever wanted to see when she shopped on Craigslist for a dining room table.
Police told News 4 the woman saw pictures of a man fully nude standing next to the furniture he was selling.
The woman reportedly messaged the man, asking him to take down the inappropriate shots down. But when he did nothing, she called police.
Investigators tracked the man down but did not place him under arrest.
The case has been passed along to the county prosecutor's office, who will determine any possible charges.

Any type of sin can undermine a believer's effectiveness, but certain sins can become so deeply rooted in our lives--even without our realizing--that they become fatal to our spiritual growth.

A century ago, pit bulls were regarded as all-American family dogs, championed by enthusiast owners such as Heller Keller and, later, Dr. Seuss. Ken Foster, author of I'm a Good Dog: Pit Bulls, America's Most Beautiful (and Misunderstood) Pet (Viking Studio), offers a corrective to the maligning of a breed that he portrays as athletic, loving and brave. "A beautiful book about some of the most of the most beautiful and big-hearted dogs in the worlddogs who've been misunderstood and discriminated against for far too long. Ken Foster and his rescue work are a gift to animals and people alike. Everyone should read I'm a Good Dog to learn the truth about pit bulls and celebrate them." - Rebecca Skloot. Ken Foster, founder of the New Orleans Sula Foundation, also wrote The Dogs Who Found Me and Dogs I Have Met.

Presented as part of the FAITH AND VALUES IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE Series, hosted by the SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY, co-sponsored by THE ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY. The 2012 election season has brought the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints into the center of the public eye. According to the 2012 Religious Congregations and Membership Study, it's the fastest growing religious community in half of the states of the U.S. Still, the Church is a religious community unfamiliar to many, even as Mitt Romney's run for the presidency causes many to ask questions. This evening, religious studies scholars Joanna Brooks, author of Book of Mormon Girl: Stories from an American Faith (Free Press), and Matthew Bowman, author of The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith (Random House), speak this evening about the role of faith in the LDS community's sense of the public arena. Advance tickets (free) are required, available via Brown Paper Tickets (brownpapertickets.com) or at 1-800-838-3006. Campion Ballroom is on the Seattle University campus, 901 Twelfth Avenue.

Start: 7:00 pm
Eminent scholar and author Frederick Hoxie, the Swanlund Professor of History at the University of Illinois, visits with a major new work of Native American history, This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made (Penguin Press). "This is a remarkable and absorbing book that shows why Indian peoples belong at the very center of American history. This Indian Country brings to life people who, unlike Crazy Horse or Tecumseh, would make terrible symbols and worse martyrs, but who made important history ... Without them Indian country and the republic itself would be far different places." - Richard White. "A master historian at his very best, Frederick Hoxie deftly turns a series of evocative biographies into a compelling new synthesis of American Indian political resistance. In doing so, This Indian Country redefines the terrain of Native American historical memory, even as it centers Indian people in the full sweep of the history of the United States." - Philip J. Deloria.

FOX Dirtpaw Race Glove
The Dirtpaw's lightweight air mesh top hand fabrics offer maximum comfort and airflow. It's Neoprene knuckle is great for added flexibility and protection while the padded, single layer Ax Suede Fit® palm offers exceptional durability and grip. Silicone fingertip print helps with added grip and the low profile wrist tab closure holds everything in place.
They do good, breathe and fit well. Pretty durable for a bike glove, and enough padding that I usually ride moto in them too. Nice feel on brakes levers with the texturing.
Have had these gloves for a year and I'm happy with their performance. They are durable and they breathe well. The only drawback is the hook and loop closure is starting to get a little weak. Well worth the price.
This glove fits great, looks good. Great choice!
Good gloves with a lot of top hand padding for clipping trees and ect. Needs more padding on the palm area just cloth
Very comfortable and breath well. I've crashed on pavement with these gloves and they protected my hands and are still in good condition. The XXXL size was perfect for me.
Awesome price for such a great product. They have a great grip and don't wear out easily. Breathable and are super comfortable!
Very comfortable! Great grip and feel. I like more palm padding but have never found a glove that had enough for my tastes. I would rather that the Velcro strap was on the top of my wrist. Over all though I would buy this glove again. From the tip of my middle finger to my wrist is 8" and a size large is just a smidge too small, I would order an xl next time.
I had many different gloves but this one is perfect. Even if you sweat you don't loose your grip. After every ride I throw it in the washing machine and dryer. They look new every time and NO ODORS.

Looks uneven and streaky if "swiped" on, gets a better finish when "patted" on. Nice color but has a hint of grey that does not suit very fair skin.
I don't know if this is the perfect rouge lipstick, all I can read written on the lipstick is RS701 which is a pale pink shade that is pretty.
No 1 lipstick on my makeup list. The best. It feels light on the lips, color is vibrant, pleasant scented, long lasting. Try it and you will know this is the ONE
Shiseido lipstick deserved more love, we just do not here about them and that a shame!! Amazing formula, moisturizing, glide easily, no weird scents, I like the sleek packaging, not too expensive comparing to Guerlain are other high end brand. 701 is a pinky-beige with a hint of mauve on my lips, it is a great color for smokey eyes and a mod look.
This truly is the perfect nude lipstick. The color is a somewhat dusty pink nude that is very flattering on my NC30-35 skintone. It by no means looks garish or unnatural. The formula is extremely creamy and moisturizing but doesn't slip off your lips or give you that gross line of lipstick on the inner rim of your lips.
I don't see a terribly long wear time, although when it does fade away it leaves some color behind.
I have an issue with most nudes not fully covering my natural lip pigmentation with the mauvey-pink outline of my mouth peeking through. BUT - this lipstick covers my natural lip color very well. I don't need a lip liner at all.
I will definately repurchase!
Finally! My search for the perfect lipstick is over!
I was looking for that pink/brown natural lipstick and I has actually found a perfect shade in the lip liners from Shisheido.
So my search started for a lipstick in the same color and I was looking in all the wrong places when I should have been looking at Shisheido.
So I went through all the MAC lipsticks.... Out of that I bought Creme de Nude and Faux. They are really beautiful and come close to that pink/brown shade but not 100%.
So I looked at the high end brands. Chanel had none. Dior had none. Bobbi Brown's lipsticks were either too brown or too pink.
I came close in finding the perfect shade in YSL nr. 10 lipstick. That is an amazing color but if your lips are tiny bit dry the YSL lipsticks will hold on to that dry flake and highlight it! (And I live in Iceland, we have now -16 degrees so my lips can be dry).
So I walked over to the Shisheido counter and was going to buy that perfect lipliner (i use that over all the lips and a clear gloss over that) and started to test out the lipsticks.
And there it was in all its glory! The RS701 lipstick!
This is THE perfect lipstick!
Color is perfect and it is really moisturizing without rubbing off within 30 min.!

I love this lipstick! It's so moisturizing and is a great nude shade with a pink hue. I never really liked lipstick, because most of them are dry and I have to put on a generous amount of lip balm, but with this lipstick, I don't really need it. Shiseido made me a lipstick girl.
All I can say is WOW what a beautiful lipstick!. Creamy, glossy, rich, beautiful nude color. Finally, a lippie that actually looks like I paid alot of money for it when it's on LOL. I never knew there were any lipsticks better than Mac but here it is! I'm also an NC25 for reference.
