Undervalued keeper league targets
Jay Cutler among six players positioned to be long-term fantasy bargains
Every fantasy football owner in a keeper league knows there are certain players (Aaron Rodgers, LeSean McCoy, Jimmy Graham) who are to be retained regardless of the price.
The harder keeper decisions come with players outside of that elite keeper range.
To assist with this process, here is a list of six players whose perceived keeper value probably isn't as high as it should be and who can thus be kept at a relative bargain price. They range from a longtime starter who is finally ready to reach his fantasy starter potential to players who underachieved last year but are on the verge of reaching star status.
Here are six high-value keeper-league players to target:

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Top cops want tickets for toking
Proposal favours fines over criminal charges
A proposal advanced by Canada's top cops could see tickets instead of criminal charges handed out for tokers pinched for small-time marijuana possession.
The proposal appears to have traction within Winnipeg's criminal justice community and has piqued the curiosity of Manitoba's top law enforcement official.
Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew Swan said when police step forward with ideas like this one, it's important to listen.
"I always welcome advice from police," he said. He added he'd welcome an opportunity to discuss the proposal with Peter MacKay, the federal government's newly minted justice minister. MacKay said in an email to The Canadian Press that the federal government has no intention of legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana.
"These drugs are illegal because of the harmful effects they have on users -- and on society for that matter. As a government, we have a responsibility to protect the interests of families across this country."
The resolution was passed Tuesday by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) in Winnipeg, where hundreds of senior Canadian law-enforcement officials are gathered to discuss and vote on ideas they say reflect progressive changes in policing.
CACP president Chief Jim Chu told reporters the current regime where officers can either caution a person for "simple possession" of marijuana and let them go outright or arrest and send them through the courts for prosecution, needs to change.
Chu, chief constable of the Vancouver Police Department, was clear, however: The CACP is not advocating the decriminalization of pot or doing away with cops' ability to lay charges where circumstances warrant it. He pointed out that a conviction results in a criminal record that places barriers on future travel, employment and citizenship. A ticket under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act would avoid that record.
But police should have the discretion to hand out tickets to divert people away from the criminal justice system and reduce pressures on police and court resources, Chu, flanked by the CACP's drug-abuse committee chair Chief Mark Mander, said.
Mander, chief of the Kentville, N.S. police service, said the issue is timely given recent debate over marijuana and its criminalization.
He described the amount of time and money spent on pushing minor pot-possession cases through the courts as a "significant burden" on the justice system overall. Many police simply look the other way when it comes to minor pot-possession cases, he said.
But the committee's report said the large majority of simple possession cases could be more efficiently dealt with through tickets.
"By adding this additional policing tool, we are proposing a responsible public safety initiative that will be of overall benefit to all Canadians," said Mander, head of the association's drug abuse committee.
A longtime Winnipeg officer said Tuesday said arresting, charging and processing paperwork on a person charged with marijuana possession under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act can take between two to five hours or longer
"And that's a fast arrest," the officer said. "A ticket? Takes 20 minutes."
Sometimes, the paperwork hassle and time off the street isn't worth it, he said. "I can't tell you the number of times I've stopped someone with weed in the car, taken it, stomped it and said, 'get out of here,' " he said. "It's not worth the headache."
Many criminal defence lawyers consulted by the Free Press signalled they were in favour of the CACP's proposal, including Karl Gowenlock, who called it a "great idea."
"It's clearly a criminal offence most Canadians don't think should be criminalized. It definitely creates a lot of unnecessary work for the court system on charges that don't really present any risk to the public," said Gowenlock.
One concern he had was over police being given greater leeway to decide how they deal with people they catch.
"How are they going to use that discretion? What kind of people are they going to lay a ticket on and what kind of people are they going to lay a charge on?" he wondered.
The proposal would also require a certain amount of buy-in from the provinces and require tweaks to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and other legislation to be approved by Parliament.
Winnipeg Police Association president Mike Sutherland said he wanted to consult with his members before saying where the police union stood.
One long-time drug-prohibition opponent says the idea is an old one and won't help to combat the scourge of organized crime or curb the growth of street gangs which exploit youth by turning them into street dealers with the promise of easy money.
"It's nothing new," said retired Winnipeg police Staff Sgt. Bill VanderGraaf. The same idea surfaced in the 1990s and went nowhere, he said.
"If it's still a form of criminalization, then it's no advancement at all," said VanderGraaf, a former homicide detective who is a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and a marijuana-legalization advocate.

"My name is Vera. I come from the outskirts and I'm very proud of it. I don't have a job, but I manage to survive."
"I am Marta. I also come from the outskirts. I participate in a women's committee."
"My name is Sandra Regina and I belong to an organization that works to fight violence against women."
"My name is Edamir. I'm a student and I have a nine-year old boy. We live alone, the two of us".
"My name is Jamili and I came here in the search for knowledge."
"My name is Rosangela Rosa and I'm here to add up."
Vera, Marta, Sandra, Edamir, Jamili and Rosa were among the approximately 130 women who packed the auditorium of a governmental institution to participate of the World Population Day commemorations in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, in July.
For them, the notion that chronic poverty and crisis have a deep impact on population, especially women, is more than an economic axiom, but a crude, often overwhelming reality.
That's one of the reasons why they were invited to participate in the event, an informal dialogue with authorities in the areas of women's rights, participative governance and social planning.
They could bring a more vivid account of the challenges faced by women in impoverished areas of the city and their real demands, but most importantly they could think together and debate about what could be done and what they could do to change the situation.
Based on the event in Salvador, UNFPA Brazil produced a video with debate excerpts and testimonials by the participants about challenges and suggestions to improve the quality of life and perspectives for women. The 1,000 copies of the video will be distributed during the second semester among government officials, service providers, community leaders, activists, and communication professionals from institutional and commercial media outlets in the state of Bahia.
The major goals are to sensitize about the importance of promoting and fighting for more equitable policies, programmes and services, and raise awareness about UNFPA work in partnership with the city and state.
Although it is not yet possible to evaluate the scale and impact of the current economic crisis, it's possible to observe from concrete examples of people living in contexts of social and economic vulnerability that women are indeed the most hardly hit.
As heads of households or as part of poor families and communities, women tend to have less access to services, opportunities and, ultimately, their potential to contribute to development is seriously impaired.
Bahia, the most populous state in Northeastern Brazil, is home for 14 million inhabitants according to the 2007 official count. The population is ageing as a result of fertility trends — 1.9 children per woman, below the substitution rate – but also the increased life expectancy — 72 years in 2007, very close to the country average (72.7). Among the elderly, there is a predominance of women, usually in conditions of great vulnerability.
Differently from developed countries, the age structure change is happening faster and in a context marked by insufficient economic growth, high social inequality, and the persistency of historical challenges like racial discrimination, religious intolerance, illiteracy, lack of infrastructure, poor housing alternatives, lack of access to services, and poverty.
The large cohorts of people becoming economically active exert even more pressure over public services, the job market, and public policies. There are approximately 2.8 million youngsters aged 16-29 looking for a job in Bahia.
Eighty five per cent of the population aged 60 years or more is covered only by a public governmental health plan – SUS. The majority of women in their reproductive years deliver their babies in hospitals and clinics. However, maternal mortality is a serious problem: in the state, the maternal death ratio is of 68.7. According to WHO, it shouldn't be higher than 20. The majority of maternal deaths occur in public health institutions.
The crisis tends to make this scenario even worse. And for women here in Bahia worse means an almost complete absence of respect towards basic human rights, being it in the public sphere, in the communities or even at home.
Despite their activities as community leaders and the knowledge about their rights, every day women face various forms of discrimination and violence.
Even though, most of the women participating in the event in Salvador brought words of hope and courage. They are in search of a better life. Most of all, they believe they are agents of change, they know what they want and they want to work in partnership to change things.
Women are indeed among the most effective agents of change. To do so, they need to be recognized and recognize themselves as rights bearers. It's also necessary to guarantee their access to information, public services, health promotion and disease prevention initiatives, especially in the sexual and reproductive health area.
Besides, it's essential to educate boys and girls to promote equality. This is an important step to enhance the chances of future for individuals, families, and communities.
Through inter-sectoral partnerships and the involvement of the international community it is possible to mobilize decision makers, experts, public managers, social movements and the civil society for the importance of protecting and promoting the rights of women.
As a result of a cooperation agreement between the United Nations Population Fund, the government of Bahia state and the municipality of Salvador it has been possible to strengthen and integrate existing initiatives and programmes, creating more opportunities for women.
The initiative aims to strengthen institutional capacity in the areas of population and development considering the interfaces between poverty, sustainable development and social, racial, gender, generational and economic inequities.
It also focuses on building institutional capacity to recognize adult women, adolescents and young women as bearers of rights, including reproductive rights. And it invests in communication for behavior change, rights advocacy and the promotion of development initiatives based social justice and human rights.

Australia lock Nathan Sharpe will win his 100th Test cap in Friday's rugby World Cup third-place play-off after being named in the starting line-up on Wednesday.
Australia coach Robbie Deans brought the 33-year-old lock, who made his debut against France in 2002, back into the side after leaving him out for the semifinal defeat to New Zealand.
Deans has overhauled the team that was humbled by the All Blacks at Eden Park last weekend with an entirely new front row and two thirds of his back row also changed.
Kurtley Beale returns at fullback after missing last weekend's match with a hamstring problem, while Berrick Barnes replaces Pat McCabe at inside centre.
Injury list
Four of the changes were enforced by injuries to McCabe (shoulder), lock Dan Vickerman (shoulder, leg and nose), prop Sekope Kepu (eye) and hooker Stephen Moore (sternum).
Deans decided to drop prop Ben Alexander to the bench to "lighten his load" after an arduous international season, while flanker and former captain Rocky Elsom was left out of the squad altogether.
Ben McCalman takes over at No. 8 with Radike Samo on the bench and Scott Higginbotham playing on the blindside flank in place of Elsom.
In the front row, Salesi Ma'afu gets his first start of the tournament at tight head prop alongside hooker Tatafu Polota-Nauand James Slipper, who both came off the bench against New Zealand.
Fifth Australian
Sharpe will be the fifth Australian to record a century of caps after David Campese, George Gregan, Stephen Larkham and George Smith.
Australia lost its only previous World Cup third-place play-off at the inaugural 1987 tournament, going down 22-21 to the Welsh at Rotorua.

I have not worked with static libraries before, but now I need to.
I am writing a console app in Unix. I freely use std::string
everywhere because it's easy to do so. However, I recently found out that I have to support it in Windows and a third party application would need API's to my code (I will not be sharing source, just the DLL).
With this in mind, can I still use std::string
everywhere in my code but then provide them with char *
when I code the API's? Would that work?

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim member economies[1] that seeks to promote free trade and economic cooperation throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It was established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies and the advent of regional trade blocs in other parts of the world; to fears that highly industrialized Japan (a member of G8) would come to dominate economic activity in the Asia-Pacific region; and to establish new markets for agricultural products and raw materials beyond Europe (where demand had been declining).[2]
APEC works to raise living standards and education levels through sustainable economic growth and to foster a sense of community and an appreciation of shared interests among Asia-Pacific countries. APEC includes newly industrialized economies, although the agenda of free trade was a sensitive issue for the developing NIEs at the time APEC founded, and aims to enable ASEAN economies to explore new export market opportunities for natural resources such as natural gas, as well as to seek regional economic integration (industrial integration) by means of foreign direct investment. Members account for approximately 40% of the world's population, approximately 54% of the world's gross domestic product and about 44% of world trade.[3] For APEC Economic Trends Analysis in 2012, see.[4]
An annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting is attended by the heads of government of all APEC members except Taiwan (which is represented by a ministerial-level official under the name Chinese Taipei as economic leader[5]). The location of the meeting rotates annually among the member economies, and a famous tradition, followed for most (but not all) summits, involves the attending leaders dressing in a national costume of the host country.

In January 1989, Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke called for more effective economic cooperation across the Pacific Rim region. This led to the first meeting of APEC in the Australian capital of Canberra in November, chaired by Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Gareth Evans. Attended by ministers from twelve countries, the meeting concluded with commitments for future annual meetings in Singapore and Korea.
Countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) opposed the initial proposal, instead proposing the East Asia Economic Caucus which would exclude non-Asian countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This plan was opposed and strongly criticized by Japan and the United States.
The first APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting occurred in 1993 when U.S. President Bill Clinton, after discussions with Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, invited the heads of government from member economies to a summit on Blake Island. He believed it would help bring the stalled Uruguay Round of trade talks back on track. At the meeting, some leaders called for continued reduction of barriers to trade and investment, envisioning a community in the Asia-Pacific region that might promote prosperity through cooperation. The APEC Secretariat, based in Singapore, was established to coordinate the activities of the organization.
During the meeting in 1994 in Bogor, Indonesia, APEC leaders adopted the Bogor Goals that aim for free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific by 2010 for industrialized economies and by 2020 for developing economies. In 1995, APEC established a business advisory body named the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), composed of three business executives from each member economy.
Member economies[edit]
APEC currently has 21 members, including most countries with a coastline on the Pacific Ocean. However, the criterion for membership is that the member is a separate economy, rather than a state. As a result, APEC uses the term member economies rather than member countries to refer to its members. One result of this criterion is that membership of the forum includes Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, participating under the name "Chinese Taipei") alongside People's Republic of China (see Cross-Strait relations), as well as Hong Kong, which entered APEC as a British colony but it is now a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. APEC also includes three official observers: ASEAN, the Pacific Islands Forum and the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council.[1]

Possible enlargement[edit]
India has requested membership in APEC, and received initial support from the United States, Japan[8] and Australia. Officials have decided not to allow India to join for various reasons.[9][10] However, the decision was made not to admit more members until 2010. Moreover, India does not border the Pacific Ocean, which all current members do.[11] However, India was invited to be an observer for the first time in November 2011.[12]
Bangladesh,[13] India,[13] Pakistan,[13] Sri Lanka,[13] Macau,[13] Mongolia,[13] Laos,[13] Cambodia,[14] Costa Rica,[15] Colombia,[15][16] Panama,[15] and Ecuador,[17] are among a dozen other countries seeking membership in APEC, in addition to India. Colombia applied for APEC's membership as early as in 1995, but its bid was halted as the organization stopped accepting new members from 1993 to 1996,[18] and the moratorium was further prolonged to 2007 due to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Guam has also been actively seeking a separate membership, citing the example of Hong Kong, but the request is opposed by the United States, which currently represents Guam.
APEC's Three Pillars[edit]
To meet the Bogor Goals, APEC carries out work in three main areas:
- 1. Trade and Investment Liberalisation
- 2. Business Facilitation
- 3. Economic and Technical Cooperation
APEC and Trade Liberalisation[edit]
According to the organization itself, when APEC was established in 1989 average trade barriers in the region stood at 16.9 percent, but had been reduced to 5.5% in 2004.[19]
APEC's Business Facilitation Efforts[edit]
APEC has long been at the forefront of reform efforts in the area of business facilitation. Between 2002 and 2006 the costs of business transactions across the region was reduced by 6%, thanks to the APEC Trade Facilitation Action Plan (TFAPI). Between 2007 and 2010, APEC hopes to achieve an additional 5% reduction in business transaction costs. To this end, a new Trade Facilitation Action Plan has been endorsed. According to a 2008 research brief published by the World Bank as part of its Trade Costs and Facilitation Project, increasing transparency in the region's trading system is critical if APEC is to meet its Bogor Goal targets.[20] The APEC Business Travel Card, a travel document for visa-free business travel within the region is one of the concrete measures to facilitate business. In May 2010 Russia joined the scheme, thus completing the circle.[21]
Proposed Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific[edit]
APEC first formally started discussing the concept of a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) at its summit in 2006 in Hanoi. However, the proposal for such an area has been around since at least 1966 and Japanese economist Kiyoshi Kojima (ja)'s proposal for a Pacific Free Trade agreement proposal. While it gained little traction, the idea led to the formation of Pacific Trade and Development Conference and then the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council in 1980 and then APEC in 1989.
In the wake of the 2006 summit, economist C. Fred Bergsten advocated a Free Trade Agreement of Asia-Pacific, including the United States amongst the proposed parties to any agreement at that time.[22] His ideas convinced the APEC Business Advisory Council to support this concept. Relatedly, ASEAN and existing free trade agreement (FTA) partners are negotiating as Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), not officially including Russia.[23] The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) without China or Russia involved has become the US-promoted trade negotiation in the region. With the APEC summit in Beijing in 2014, the two-three plans are all in discussion.[24] President Obama hosted a TPP meeting at the US Embassy in Beijing in advance of the APEC gathering.[25]
The proposal for a FTAAP arose due to the lack of progress in the Doha round of World Trade Organization negotiations, and as a way to overcome the "noodle bowl" effect created by overlapping and conflicting elements of the copious free trade agreements — there were approximately 60 free trade agreements in 2007, with an additional 117 in the process of negotiation in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.[26] In 2012, ASEAN+6 countries alone had 339 free trade agreements - many of which were bilateral.[27]
The FTAAP is more ambitious in scope than the Doha round, which limits itself to reducing trade restrictions. The FTAAP would create a free trade zone that would considerably expand commerce and economic growth in the region.[26][28] The economic expansion and growth in trade could exceed the expectations of other regional free trade areas such as the ASEAN Plus Three (ASEAN + China, Japan, and South Korea).[29] Some criticisms include that the diversion of trade within APEC members would create trade imbalances, market conflicts and complications with nations of other regions.[28] The development of the FTAAP is expected to take many years, involving essential studies, evaluations and negotiations between member economies.[26] It is also affected by the absence of political will and popular agitations and lobbying against free trade in domestic politics.[26][30]
At the 2014 APEC summit in Beijing, APEC leaders agreed to launch "a collective strategic study" on the FTAAP and instruct officials to undertake the study, consult stakeholders and report the result by the end of 2016.[31] APEC Executive Director Alan Bollard revealed in the Elite Talk show that FTAAP will be APEC's big goal out into the future.[32]
APEC Study Center Consortium[edit]
In 1993, APEC Leaders decided to establish a network of APEC Study Centres among universities and research institutions in member economies.[33]
Notable centers include:
- Australian APEC Study Centre, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia[34]
- Berkeley APEC Study Center, University of California, Berkeley, United States[35]
- Chinese Taipei APEC Study Center, Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, Taiwan[36]
- HKU APEC Study Center, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong[37]
- Kobe APEC Study Center, Kobe University, Japan[38]
- Nankai APEC Study Center, Nankai University, China[39]
- Philippine APEC Study Center Network, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Philippines
- The Canadian APEC Study Centre, The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, Vancouver, Canada[40]
- Indonesian APEC Study Centre, APEC Study Center University of Indonesia, Indonesia.[41]
APEC Business Advisory Council[edit]
The APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) was created by the APEC Economic Leaders in November 1995 with the aim of providing advice to the APEC Economic Leaders on ways to achieve the Bogor Goals and other specific business sector priorities, and to provide the business perspective on specific areas of cooperation.
Each economy nominates up to three members from the private sector to ABAC. These business leaders represent a wide range of industry sectors. ABAC provides an annual report to APEC Economic Leaders containing recommendations to improve the business and investment environment in the Asia-Pacific region, and outlining business views about priority regional issues. ABAC is also the only non-governmental organisation that is on the official agenda of the APEC Economic Leader's Meeting.
Annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meetings[edit]
Since its formation in 1989, APEC has held annual meetings with representatives from all member economies. The first four annual meetings were attended by ministerial-level officials. Beginning in 1993, the annual meetings are named APEC Economic Leaders' Meetings and are attended by the heads of government from all member economies except Taiwan, which is represented by a ministerial-level official. The annual Leaders' Meetings are not called summits.
Meeting developments[edit]
In 1997, the APEC meeting was held in Vancouver. Controversy arose after officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police used pepper spray against protesters. The protesters objected to the presence of autocratic leaders such as Indonesian president Suharto.[42][43][44][45][46][47]
At the 2001 Leaders' Meeting in Shanghai, APEC leaders pushed for a new round of trade negotiations and support for a program of trade capacity-building assistance, leading to the launch of the Doha Development Agenda a few weeks later. The meeting also endorsed the Shanghai Accord proposed by the United States, emphasising the implementation of open markets, structural reform, and capacity building. As part of the accord, the meeting committed to develop and implement APEC transparency standards, reduce trade transaction costs in the Asia-Pacific region by 5 percent over 5 years, and pursue trade liberalization policies relating to information technology goods and services.
In 2003, Jemaah Islamiah leader Riduan Isamuddin had planned to attack the APEC Leaders Meeting to be held in Bangkok in October. He was captured in the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand by Thai police on August 11, 2003, before he could finish planning the attack.[citation needed] Chile became the first South American nation to host the Leaders' Meeting in 2004. The agenda of that year was focused on terrorism and commerce, small and medium enterprise development, and contemplation of free trade agreements and regional trade agreements.
The 2005 Leaders' Meeting was held in Busan, South Korea. The meeting focused on the Doha round of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, leading up to the WTO Ministerial Conference of 2005 held in Hong Kong in December. Weeks earlier, trade negotiations in Paris were held between several WTO members, including the United States and the European Union, centered on reducing agricultural trade barriers. APEC leaders at the summit urged the European Union to agree to reducing farm subsidies. Peaceful protests against APEC were staged in Busan, but the meeting schedule was not affected.
At the Leaders' Meeting held on November 19, 2006 in Hanoi, APEC leaders called for a new start to global free-trade negotiations while condemning terrorism and other threats to security. APEC also criticised North Korea for conducting a nuclear test and a missile test launch that year, urging the country to take "concrete and effective" steps toward nuclear disarmament. Concerns about nuclear proliferation in the region was discussed in addition to economic topics. The United States and Russia signed an agreement as part of Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organization.
The APEC Australia 2007 Leaders' Meeting was held in Sydney from 2–9 September 2007. The political leaders agreed to an "aspirational goal" of a 25% reduction of energy intensity correlative with economic development.[48] Extreme security measures including airborne sharpshooters and extensive steel-and-concrete barricades were deployed against anticipated protesters and potential terrorists. However, protest activities were peaceful and the security envelope was penetrated with ease by a spoof diplomatic motorcade manned by members of the Australian television program The Chaser, one of whom was dressed to resemble the Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The APEC USA 2011 Leaders' Meeting was held on Honolulu, Hawaii 8–13 November 2011.[49]
APEC Leaders' Family Photo[edit]
At the end of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, the leaders in attendance gather for what is officially known as the APEC Leaders' Family Photo. A long-standing tradition for this photo involved the attending leaders dressing in a costume that reflects the culture of the host member. The tradition dates back to the first such meeting in 1993 when then-U.S. President Bill Clinton outfitted the leaders in leather bombardier jackets. However, at the 2010 meeting, Japan opted to have the leaders dress in smart casual rather than the traditional kimono.[50] Similarly, when Honolulu was selected in 2009 as the site for the 2011 APEC meeting, U.S. President Barack Obama joked that he looked forward to seeing the leaders dressed in "flowered shirts and grass skirts". However, after viewing previous photos, and concerned that having the leaders dress in aloha shirts might give the wrong impression during a period of economic austerity, Obama decided that it might be time to end the tradition. Leaders were given a specially designed aloha shirt as a gift but were not required to wear it for the photo.[51] However at the 2013 conference in Bali, Indonesia, leaders are toned with Batik outfit.

APEC has been criticized for promoting free trade agreements that would trammel national and local laws, which regulate and ensure labor rights, environmental protection and safe and affordable access to medicine.[53] According to the organization, it is "the premier forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region" established to "further enhance economic growth and prosperity for the region and to strengthen the Asia-Pacific community".[54] However, whether it has accomplished anything constructive remains debatable, especially from the viewpoints of European countries that cannot take part in APEC[55] and Pacific Island nations that cannot participate but will suffer its consequences.

LAS VEGAS, NV There can only be one king and on Saturday, November 12, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV, world heavyweight champion Vitali "Dr. Iron Fist" Klitschko and interim heavyweight champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman will go mano-a-mano in the biggest event of the year for the biggest prize in sports. Top Rank, in association with K2 Promotions, Caesars Palace and Wynn Las Vegas, presents "Seek and Destroy!" -- The Heavyweight Championship of the World. Only one man will emerge from the ring that night wearing the linear crown dating back to the great John L. Sullivan himself. "This is the most significant heavyweight championship bout in many years," said Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank. "There's nothing like a highly-anticipated heavyweight title fight," said Mark Taffet of HBO PPV. "Boxing fans have been waiting a long time for the Klitschko-Rahman showdown and on Nov. 12 they're finally going to get it." Tickets for "Seek and Destroy" go on sale Wednesday and are $1,000, $750, $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50. The box office phone number is (702)-739-3267. Klitschko, 35-2 with 34 knockouts, from Kiev, Ukraine, is the World Boxing Council (WBC) and the Ring Magazine champion. He is universally recognized as the World Heavyweight Champion. WBC interim champion Rahman, 41-5-1 with 33 knockouts, of Baltimore, MD., is looking to regain the title he won in 2001, when he knocked out Lennox Lewis in South Africa. Arum also announced that World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, 32-4, 33 KOs, of Tijuana, Mexico, will defend his world title against Manuel Gomez, 28-10-2, 20 KOs, of Laredo, Texas. As an added attraction, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. the enormously popular teenage son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez" will box on the Pay Per View telecast. At the age of 34, Klitschko has been fighting as a professional for over 8 ½ years. He won the vacant WBC world heavyweight title in April, 2004, and made a successful defense in his last fight on Dec. 11. In his title defense Klitschko tore into Danny Williams and dominated the fight. Klitschko scored one knockdown in the first round, cut Williams over his right eye and scored additional knockdowns in the third, seventh and eighth rounds. The referee stopped the fight at 1:26 of the eighth round. Klitschko led by scores of 70-60, 70-60 and 70-59. "I was surprised he was able to take so many punches," said Klitschko. Klitschko will now focus on Rahman who is the WBC interim heavyweight champion. Rahman was scheduled to challenge Klitschko on April 30 for the title but the fight was postponed and rescheduled. The WBC authorized a title fight for the interim with the condition that Klitschko fight the winner. Rahman won that fight, defeating Monte Barrett on August 13. Rahman had an unusual introduction to boxing. When he was a teenager, he was challenged by a local boxer to what was called a "body punching contest." "I got the better of him and he said I should stop by the Mack Lewis Gym. I never forgot what he told me 'You could make a million bucks." So, at the age of 20, Rahman began training in the local gym. Klitschko is the older brother of 1996 Olympic gold medalist and former WBO world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Vitali was born in Kyrgystan, Wladimir in Kazakhstan. When they were young boys they traveled extensively through the Soviet Union with their father, Wladimir Rodionovich, a colonel in the Soviet Air Force from Ukraine, and their mother, Nadezhda Ulyanovna, a clerk, from Russia. The family settled in the Ukraine in 1985. Vitali started boxing at the age of 13, his brother Wladimir at 14. Both brothers have doctorates and speak Ukrainian, Russian, German and English. The Klitschko vs. Rahman pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT on November 12, has a suggested retail of $49.95. It will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View and will be available to over 50 million pay-per-view homes. The telecast will be available in HD-TV for those viewers who can receive HD. HBO Pay-Per-View is the leading supplier of event programming to the pay-per-view industry. For your daily Klitschko vs. Rahman fight week updates, log on to www.HBOPPV.com.

PHOENIX – A professional wrestler chased down a man who allegedly broke into his Phoenix home Thursday evening.
Police said a second suspect got away.
Phoenix police officers were responding to a call of two suspicious males in an Arcadia neighborhood as Bryan Danielson was confronting two alleged burglars.
Sgt. Tommy Thompson said Danielson, whose ring name is Daniel Bryan, and his wife were pulling into their carport when they saw the door that leads to the house start to open. Two males then ran out of the home and fled on foot.
The former WWE world heavyweight champion chased the two suspects. He caught up to one of them and a struggle ensued. Danielson was able to subdue the suspect and detain him until police officers could take him into custody.
"The fun answer would be that I put him in the 'yes lock' and he was tapping on the ground, but that isn't actually what happened," Danielson said at a press conference, talking about his signature move.
His wife, WWE Diva Brie Bella, said she called 911 because she was worried the suspects might be armed.
"That's why I'm borderline ashamed of what I did," Danielson said. "It's probably not the best thing to do because you don't know what's going to happen."
Danielson said he doesn't believe the suspects knew he was professional wrestler.
The second suspect described only as a Hispanic male has not been located.
Police said Cesar Sosa, 22, and his accomplice broke the rear sliding glass door to get into the house to burglarize it.
"When the burglary was interrupted, they dropped their loot and ran away," Thompson said.
One of the items they dropped was a gift Danielson received from his father, who died recently.
"He'd gotten me this bracelet that said, 'To the man you've become and the son you'll always be,' " Danielson said.
Sosa was booked into the Maricopa County Jail and faces burglary charges. He also had a felony warrant for his arrest, charging him with kidnapping and burglary.

Fair Work Commission bench line-up not so fair, says business
PUBLISHED: 14 Apr 2014 00:08:24 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2014 04:50:17PRINT EDITION:Aaron Patrick
The Labor-appointed president of the Fair Work Commission, Iain Ross, and his deputy, Adam Hatcher, are marginalising pro-employer members of the workplace tribunal by not including them in important full-bench decisions, people with knowledge of the commission's workings said.
Justice Ross and Mr Hatcher have given most of the top cases to themselves at the expense of two vice-presidents installed by the Howard government, Michael Lawler and Graeme Watson, commission records indicate. Critics aligned with business say the way cases have been allocated is a sign the operation of the commission, which is supposed to function like a court, has become politicised.
The division of work has created serious tensions within the commission.
Last week, Perth-based commissioner, Brendan McCarthy, wrote to Justice Ross raising concerns about the process to select commissioners for full benches.
Justice Ross and Mr Hatcher have been able to influence the commission's decisions, which affect millions of employees and hundreds of thousands of businesses, by putting themselves in charge of the full bench panels that decide the most important cases, according to the sources.
Mr Lawler has not helped decide any important full bench decisions since Mr Hatcher was appointed by the Gillard Labor government in March 2013.
Mr Watson, a lawyer who represented employers for many years, has only been a part of one important decision since Mr Hatcher started.
Over the same period Justice Ross has overseen 13 important full bench cases and Mr Hatcher has helped decide 12. Jenny Acton, a former ACTU industrial officer, has been on eight important full bench cases over the same period.
Justice Ross and Mr Hatcher declined to be interviewed.
'Opaque and subjective'
A spokesperson for the Fair Work Commission said: "It is not possible for the commission to comment on this data. It is opaque and subjective and is entirely dependent upon what the author regards as a 'significant decision'."
Justice Ross is a former official at the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Mr Hatcher is a former barrister who frequently represented the Transport Workers Union and stood as a Labor Party candidate in the 1990 federal election for the Sydney seat of Mackellar.
As the senior members of the tribunal it is appropriate they hear important cases, legal experts said. What is surprising is some other senior commissioners aren't involved in many important cases, they said.
After questions from The Australian Financial Review, the commission posted data on its website on Friday at 5pm listing the number of appeals that all commissioners have participated in.
The Australian Mines and Metals Association, which handles industrial relations cases for many resource contractors, argues that Mr Hatcher is getting special treatment.
It calculates that between July and mid-December he was involved in 19 of the 75 published full bench decisions. That was more than any other commissioner.
"We have recently seen an unedifying politicisation of the tribunal," said the association's chief executive, Steve Knott, in a written statement.
"Following his early 2013 appointment, vice-president Adam Hatcher has been allocated demonstrably more appeals and full bench matters than previous long-serving VPs Michael Lawler and Graeme Watson combined; thus confirming the two existing VPs were effectively demoted.
'Concerns validated'
"Concerns flagged by AMMA, the Law Council and others have since been validated."
In early 2013 then workplace relations minister Bill Shorten appointed two vice-presidents, Mr Hatcher and Joe Catanzariti, in positions senior to Mr Lawler and Mr Watson. Instead of being the second and third-ranked commissioners, they are now ranked fourth and fifth.
Other experienced commissioners appear to have been marginalised too. The senior commissioner in Queensland, Peter Richards, hasn't been a part of any significant full bench decisions since Mr Hatcher was appointed.
Mr Richards, a former adviser to Liberal politician Peter Reith and assistant director at the Business Council of Australia, has taken a tough approach to disruptions of building projects in Queensland.
In August, he said in a judgment that workplace agreements might not be able to limit the use of contract labour, a sensitive issue in the construction industry.
South Australian commissioner Matthew O'Callaghan, a former head of industrial relations for the South Australian government in the 1990s, has not been involved in any significant full bench decisions since Mr Hatcher began. Neither has Mr McCarthy, West Australia's senior commissioner.
Most full benches, which consider appeals of decisions by individual commissioners and other important cases, are comprised of three commissioners. Some very important cases can be heard by full benches of five or seven commissioners.
Award review appointments
As president, Justice Ross is in charge of assigning cases to commissioners. He has delegated this role to Mr Hatcher, a senior vice-president.
Last year, Mr Hatcher appointed himself and Justice Ross to lead a five-commissioner review of the entire "modern" award system – a long-term effort to simplify thousands of different workplace conditions and create more consistent national employment standards.
Mr Watson, who was part of the team of commissioners who created the modern award system in 2010, wasn't asked to help.
Only one person from an employer background was put on the full bench conducting the review, Peter Hampton, a former deputy director of the South Australian Employers' Federation. He is the most junior member of the full bench.
Because of the political nature of Australia's industrial relations system, most commissioners come from the labour movement or business. Some are former public servants. They are expected to put aside their past allegiances when they become commissioners, roles given similar protections from government interference as judges.
Mr Watson is a former partner of law firm Herbert Smith Freehills which has a long history of representing companies in tough disputes with unions, including Rio Tinto. In judgments he has often taken pro-business positions, and in 2012, unsuccessfully argued against 18 per cent to 41 per cent wage rises over eight years for 150,000 social, community and disability workers.
Mr Lawler, a former public prosecutor in Canberra, is the partner of Health Services Union whistle-blower Kathy Jackson, who is widely disliked among the Labor Party leadership for her role publicising corruption in the union.
Justice Ross and Mr Hatcher were appointed by Mr Shorten, a former union leader and now the leader of the opposition.

10 slices bacon
10 links pork sausage links
12 egg, beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury®
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
This is one of my most favorite breakfasts to make for my family. I like to use turkey meat that I spiced up to taste like pork sausage ((rubbed sage, marjoram, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, basil red pepper flake, salt/pepper), chunky salsa verde and shredded pepperjack cheese. My family inhales this whole pizza. I usually serve this with home fries and a fruit salad.
Tasty! We were limited by what we had in the house. We didn't have sausage, only bacon. We baked some tater-tots, cut them in half and added those to the pizza. We only had 6 eggs and 1 pkg of crescents, but it still fit well in a 9x13. We sauteed some garlic and onion and mixed in with the eggs. This is really versatile to what you have on hand.

This was really tasty and easy to do. I used my home made salsa and used good quality crescent rolls. The best thing was that I had every thing in my pantry. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Great and easy breakfast dish! I used a 9 by 13 dish, one crescent roll package, half the bacon, sausage and eggs and it still stood really high. It fed our family of four for breakfast and lunch. My three year old had two pieces at lunch! Note: I put the salsa (homemade) through a strainer so it wouldn't get the crust soggy.
I fried bacon and sausage the day before so I only had to warm them slightly in the a.m. It was very easy to put crust together and scramble eggs while it was in oven. I would add pepper and onions to eggs. I increased salsa to 3/4-1 cup. I also think a mix of cheddar and Monterey jack would be good. Everyone loved the recipe and I will definitely make it again.
Awesome and easy... The kids loved it .. We used a whole package of bacon and a whole roll of pork sausage instead. The pork sausage is easier to crumble in the pan and then spread on the pizza. We also did not use salsa since the kids didn't want it... It worked out fine without it . We also only cooked the pizza an extra 8 mins at the end instead of for 10 . Overall great recipe!
can use 1 can crescents and six eggs. easy to modify with ingredients you have.
Family loved it! Followed directions exactly and it came out great

Queens man pleads guilty to aTM skimming scheme targeting new jersey bank customers
May 26, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A Bulgarian native and Queens, N.Y., resident today admitted to a scheme to steal account information from bank customers by installing secret recording devices on ATMs in Nutley and Belleville, N.J., U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Georgi Nikiforov, 25, pleaded guilty in Newark federal court to an Information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. Nikiforov entered his guilty plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz, who recommended to U.S. District Judge Faith S. Hochberg that his plea of guilty be accepted and entered. The defendant has been held without bail since his arrest on October 26, 2010.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
The charges stem from Nikiforov's participation in a "skimming" scheme to obtain account and identity information from ATMs at Valley National Bank branches in Nutley and Belleville. In skimming, identity and account information contained in the magnetic strip of an ATM card is read and recorded by an electronic device, or skimmer, that is secretly inserted into the ATM – along with a pinhole camera that records the bank customers' keystrokes when they enter their personal identification number ("PIN").
Nikiforov admitted that he installed skimmers and cameras on the Valley National Bank ATMs in September 2008, and that after account and identification information was obtained, it was transferred and loaded onto blank ATM cards. The newly created cards were then used to make unauthorized withdrawals from the skimmed accounts by coconspirators throughout the Tri-State area and other parts of the United States.
In all, Nikiforov and his co-conspirators stole information pertaining to approximately 348 accounts, and defrauded Valley National Bank of approximately $278,144 by making numerous unauthorized withdrawals with counterfeit ATM cards in October 2008. The bank absorbed the loss when it repaid the defrauded customers.
The bank fraud conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The aggravated identity theft charge carries a mandatory, consecutive penalty of two years in prison, and a maximum $250,000 fine. Sentencing is currently scheduled for September 13, 2011.
U.S. Attorney Fishman praised the special agents of the United States Secret Service, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jacob Christine, with the investigation leading to today's guilty plea.
