Lee Hsien Loong (born 10 February 1952) is the third and current Prime Minister of Singapore, and the eldest son of Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew.
As a member of the People's Action Party (PAP), Lee became Prime Minister in August 2004, succeeding Goh Chok Tong. He has been a Member of Parliament (MP) since 1984 and a member of the Cabinet since 1987, and was one of the key leaders in Singapore's political transition in the 1980s and 1990s. Before becoming Prime Minister he served as the Minister for Trade and Industry, Minister for Finance and Deputy Prime Minister. Prior to his election to Parliament, he served as an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces, rising to the rank of Brigadier-General.
The eldest child of former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and the late Madam Kwa Geok Choo, Lee Hsien Loong was born in Singapore on 10 February 1952. His paternal grandmother, Chua Jim Neo, was a Hokkien Nyonya, and his mother has ancestry from Tong'an District, Xiamen, in the Fujian province of China.[1][2] According to Lee Kuan Yew's biography, the young Lee had learned Jawi script from the age of five, and has always been interested in the affairs of Singapore, often following his father to the rally grounds since 1963.
Lee studied at Nanyang Primary School and received his secondary education at Catholic High School, before going on to National Junior College (where he learned the clarinet under the tutelage of Adjunct Associate Professor Ho Hwee Long). In 1971, he was awarded a President's Scholarship and Singapore Armed Forces Overseas Scholarship by the Public Service Commission to study in the United Kingdom at Cambridge University, where he read Mathematics at Trinity College. He graduated in 1974 with First Class Honours in Mathematics and a Diploma in Computer Science (with distinction). In 1980, he completed a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Lee joined the Singapore Armed Forces in 1971. In 1978, he attended the US Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. Lee rose quickly through the ranks in the Army, becoming the youngest Brigadier-General in Singapore's history after his promotion in July 1983. He left the military in 1984 to pursue civilian politics.[3]
In the 1980s, Lee was regarded as one of the next key leaders in the People's Action Party leadership transition that was taking place in the mid-1980s, as Lee Kuan Yew had declared that he would eventually step down as Prime Minister in 1984. Following the Singaporean general election, 1984, all the old Central Executive Committee members had resigned on 1 January 1985, except for Lee Kuan Yew himself.[4]
Lee was elected a Member of Parliament in 1984 at the age of 32. Following his election, he was appointed a Minister of State at the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Defence by his father, who was the Prime Minister at the time.
In 1985, Lee chaired the government's Economic Committee, which recommended changes to established government policies to reduce business costs, foster longer-term growth and revive the Singapore economy, which was experiencing a recession at the time. The committee's recommendations included reductions in corporate and personal taxes and the introduction of a consumption tax.
In 1986, Lee was made the Acting Minister for Trade and Industry. In 1987, he became a full member of the Cabinet as the Minister for Trade and Industry and Second Minister for Defence.
Lee was the chairman of the PAP Youth Committee, the predecessor to the Young PAP, when it was established in 1986, while he was still a brigadier-general. The PAP had been undergoing leadership transition, and many of its key leaders were aging, with younger replacements scarce. PAP branches were urged to recruit 40-50 members each. Lee envisioned there would be a lot of young people who were "idealistic, patriotic, nationalistic, keen to work for the nation." Lee's goal was to maintain the pre-eminence of the PAP such that "when the people think about the government of Singapore, if they think about the future of Singapore, then they will think about the PAP". Lee also said that the youth wing would be a channel in which the youth could communicate dissent, in which otherwise they might be "tempted" to vote for the Opposition and bring the PAP government down.[5]
On 28 November 1990, Goh Chok Tong took over from Lee Kuan Yew as Singapore's Prime Minister, and Lee Hsien Loong was made one of two Deputy Prime Ministers (along with the late Mr Ong Teng Cheong). He also continued to serve as the Minister for Trade and Industry until 1992.
In 1992, Lee was diagnosed with lymphoma and underwent a three-month period of chemotherapy. When his treatment began, he relinquished his position as the Minister for Trade and Industry, though he continued to be a Deputy Prime Minister. His chemotherapy was successful, and his cancer has since gone into remission.
Lee was appointed Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore in 1998, and in 2001 he was made the Minister for Finance.
To ease the growing budget deficit due to falling tax revenues from cuts in corporate and personal income taxes and other factors such as the Iraq War and SARS outbreak, Lee proposed on 29 August 2003 to raise the GST from three percent to five percent, a change which took place in January 2004.
Lee also initiated several relaxations of the requirements for Singapore citizenship, notably for foreign-born children of Singaporean women.[6] The changes were made after repeated pleas from MPs and the Remaking Singapore Committee.
In the sphere of domestic politics, Lee played a key role as Deputy Prime Minister. In a media interview in 1996, ahead of the 1997 general election, he outlined what the ruling party looked for in its candidates for Members of Parliament.[7]
On the international front, Lee helped build relations with other countries as far away as New Zealand.[8]
In the months leading up to Lee taking over as Singapore's third Prime Minister in 2004, he was already signalling reforms in some key areas, including ceding more space to the private and people sectors. Of the government's role, he said in a speech: "Nanny should not look after everything all the time".[9]
On 12 August 2004, Lee Hsien Loong succeeded Goh Chok Tong as Prime Minister and relinquished his Chairmanship of the Monetary Authority of Singapore to Goh. Lee was sworn in by Chief Justice Yong Pung How at the Istana.
Lee made his maiden National Day Rally on 12 August 2004. In his speech, Lee initiated the policy of the "Five-day work week", a plan that would remove a half-working day on Saturday. The plan took effect on 1 January 2005.
Lee also proposed two-month paid maternity leave for mothers of newborn children and financial incentives to mothers who give birth to a fourth child. These policies were initiated in response to the declining birth rate that Singapore has experienced in recent years.
In November 2004, Lee sparked a national debate when he revealed a proposal to build two Integrated Resorts (IRs) which are holiday resorts with casinos. In April 2005, despite substantial opposition expressed by the public, Lee announced the decision to approve the proposal. The two IRs are to be built in Marina Bay and Sentosa. To limit the negative social impact of casino gambling, Lee suggested that safeguards be implemented, such as prohibiting minors from entering the casinos and charging a SGD$100 entrance fee for Singaporeans and permanent residents or SGD$2000 for a year-long entrance fee.
In February 2006, three months before the General Election, Lee announced in parliament a S$2.6 billion bonus called the Progress Package.[10][dead link] The plan was to distribute budget surpluses accumulated from the past few years to adult Singaporeans in the form of cash to everyone, top-ups to the state pension savings for elders, rental and utilities rebates for those living in public housing, educational funds for school children from low-income families, and cash bonuses for low-wage workers above 40 and for those men who have completed National Service. The cash bonuses was distributed in early May 2006.
Critics, especially members of the opposition, have slammed the Progress Package as a "vote-buying exercise" for the Singapore parliamentary election held on 6 May 2006. In that election, Lee led the People's Action Party to win 82 of the 84 seats, including 37 walkovers. Lee and his 6-member team won the Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency with 96,591 (60.42%) votes out of the total 159,872 votes cast. Most of the opposition WP's team of 6 were in their 20s and the constituency was contested for the first time in 15 years.
Its decision to contest Ang Mo Kio came as a surprise, as the opposition was expected to stay away from GRCs helmed by heavyweight ministers; but the party said that giving Ang Mo Kio residents a chance to vote was a prime reason for contesting the GRC. Given the inexperience of the WP team and Lee Hsien Loong's position as the Prime Minister, they won a surprisingly strong 49,468 votes (30.94%). There were also an extremely high percentage of void votes: 13,813 (8.64%).
In May 2010, Lee instituted electoral reforms to the current electoral system by reducing the number of Group representation constituencies (GRC), increased the number of Non-constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) to a maximum of nine (inclusive of the number of elected opposition members of Parliament), and the number of Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) permanent also to nine. Also part of the reforms was the legalization of internet campaigning and mandating a "cooling-off" day where campaigning is prohibited except for party political broadcasts.
Effective 1 June 2011, Lee was named chairman of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation which manages more than $100 billion of assets. He succeeds his father, Lee Kuan Yew, who will remain as senior advisor to the fund.[11]
In April 2011, a general election was called for 7 May 2011. For the second time, the PAP was not return to government on Nomination Day with only one uncontested walkover. In the final results, the PAP saw a 6.46% swing against the it from the 2006 elections to 60.14%, its lowest since independence.[12] While the PAP met most expectations to sweep into power and claim over two-thirds of parliamentary seats, it won 81 out of 87 seats, and lost Aljunied Group Representation Constituency to the Workers' Party of Singapore, the first time a GRC was won by an opposition party. Two cabinet ministers namely Foreign Minister George Yeo Yong-Boon and Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Hwee Hua were defeated.[13]
Later on, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong tendered their resignations from the Cabinet, stating that they wished to give the Prime Minister a "fresh clean slate" in forming the Government and enable him to "have a completely younger team of ministers to connect to and engage with this young generation".[14] Lee and Goh were appointed as senior advisers to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) respectively.[15]
Lee was sworn-in into a second term on 21 May 2011. His new cabinet included three newly appointed ministers namely, S. Iswaran, formerly Senior Minister of State for Education and for Trade and Industry, was elevated to the Cabinet as Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, and Second Minister for Home Affairs and for Trade and Industry. Heng Swee Keat and Chan Chun Sing, both elected to Parliament for the first time, were respectively assigned the posts of Minister for Education, and Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports and Minister of State for the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts.[16] Heng was the first new MP directly appointed a full minister since 1984.[17]
Relations with China have improved under Lee's administration. Smooth progress has been made in areas of trade, tourism and investment, which is not merely in accordance with the interest of the two countries, but promises to be beneficial to the common development of the region. The China-Singapore Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) is responsible for promoting Sino-Singaporean co-operation.
During his meeting with vice-premier Wu Yi in September 2005, Lee proposed the establishment of a China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone, which would achieve the goal of realizing US$50 billion in trade volume before 2010. In doing so, both agreed that relations between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) should be elevated.
During his seven-day visit to China in late October 2005, the Prime Minister stressed the need of improving bilateral diplomatic relationships between ASEAN and China. Lee also urged leaders to focus on the next wave of growth in north-eastern China, saying:
"It is a long-term commitment. There is no place in the world that you can go in and your money just grows on trees. Not in China."
Singapore has generally had a favourable relationship with the United States. The growth of bilateral trade improved commercial and diplomatic ties between the two countries after the implementation of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement and the growth in bilateral trade has been evident since the Free Trade Agreement became effective on 1 January 2004.
Lee made his inaugural visit to the United States, as Prime Minister of Singapore, between 6 July and 16 July 2005. Several other ministers, notably the defence minister Teo Chee Hean and foreign minister George Yeo, accompanied Lee.
On 12 July 2005, President George W Bush and Lee signed the "Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States of America and the Republic of Singapore for a Closer Cooperation Partnership in Defence and Security". The agreement was a natural step in the expansion of bilateral ties. President Bush and the then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong had first announced their intention to conclude this agreement in October 2003.
The intention of the agreement is to address common threats such as terrorism and the proliferation of Weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which called for even closer cooperation between the United States and Singapore.
The agreement recognizes Singapore's role as a Major Security Cooperation Partner and will expand the scope of current cooperation in areas such as counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation, joint military exercises and training, policy dialogues and defence technology. The Agreement will further enhance regional stability by supporting the continued security presence of the United States in Southeast Asia.
Both Lee and Bush agree that US presence in Southeast Asia has promoted peace and stability, which are crucial for regional cooperation and economic development.
During their meeting, both Bush and Lee acknowledged the progress in the war on terror. Lee commended Bush's 'resolute and steadfast stance in the war on terror' and expressed Singapore's continued support in this endeavour. In exchange, Bush commended the professionalism of the Singapore Armed Forces personnel, who have been deployed in support of Iraq operations over the past two years and of the Singapore Police Force, which has provided critically important training. Both Bush and Lee also pledged to sustain the close cooperation between the United States and Singapore in key regional and global multilateral institutions.
As the eldest son of Singapore's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Lee's career has been shadowed by allegations of nepotism.[18][19][20] At the age of 32 he became the youngest Brigadier-General in Singapore's history, and from a young age was widely tipped to be Lee Kuan Yew's successor as Prime Minister. When Lee Kuan Yew stepped down as Prime Minister to make way for his successor, Goh Chok Tong, several critics had seen Goh as a seat-warmer, but Lee Kuan Yew said he had disproved that. In his memoirs, Lee Kuan Yew stressed that he could not have his son directly succeed him.
"It was better that someone else succeed me as Prime Minister. Then were Loong to make the grade later, it would be clear that he made it on his own merit."
However, such allegations by critics held on for six to seven years until Goh managed to prove his worth by regaining seats and pushing up the PAP's vote share in the 1997 elections. The appointment of Lee's wife Ho Ching as the director of state investment agency Temasek has also raised some eyebrows.[18]
The Lees have reacted strongly against these allegations by taking legal action, often winning large out-of-court settlements for defamation from, among others, the International Herald Tribune (1994),[19] Bloomberg (2002), The Economist (2004) and the Financial Times (2007).[20]
On 10 July 2004, Lee visited Taiwan, causing displeasure in the People's Republic of China. On 28 August 2004 in his maiden National Day Rally speech, he criticized the Taiwanese leadership and populace of overestimating the support they would receive if they were to declare Taiwan independence. At the same time, he also clarified during the rally that his visit to Taiwan in July was to ensure he gathered enough intelligence to make the right decisions when he took over the baton as Prime Minister. He reiterated his support for the One-China policy. Later that year in September, Foreign Minister George Yeo cautioned the United Nations General Assembly about the dangers of letting the cross-strait relationship deteriorate. In response, an enraged Taiwan Foreign Minister, Mark Chen, called Singapore a "Pi-Sai Country", translated literally from Taiwanese, it means a "country no bigger than a booger." The Taiwanese Foreign Minister later made a formal apology.
On 24 September 2008, High Court, in a summary judgment by Justice Woo Bih Li, ruled that the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER) magazine-Hugo Restall, editor, defamed Lee Kuan Yew and his son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The court found the 2006 article "Singapore's 'Martyr': Chee Soon Juan" meant that Lee Kuan Yew "has been running and continues to run Singapore in the same corrupt manner as Durai operated NKF and he has been using libel actions to suppress those who would question to avoid exposure of his corruption." FEER has 30 days to appeal.[21] The court sentenced FEER publisher and editor, owned by Dow Jones & Company (in turn owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp), to pay damages to complainants.[22]
In 2010, Lee Hsien Loong, together with the two former prime minister preceded him, Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong, threatened legal action against The New York Times Company which owns the International Herald Tribune regarding an Op-Ed piece titled 'All in the Family' of 15 February 2010 by Philip Bowring, a freelance columnist and former editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review. The Herald Tribute apologized in March that readers of the article may 'infer that the younger Lee did not achieve his position through merit'. The Times and Bowring also agreed to pay SG$60,000 to Lee, SG$50,000 to Lee Kuan Yew and SG$50,000 to Goh (total amounted to about US$114,000 at the time), in addition to legal costs. The case stemmed from a 1994 settlement between the three Singaporean leaders and the paper about an article also by Bowring that referred to 'dynastic politics' in East Asian countries including Singapore. In that settlement, Bowring agreed not to say or imply that the younger Lee had attained his position through nepotism by his father Lee Kuan Yew. In response, media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders wrote an open letter to urge Lee and other top officials of the Singapore government to stop taking 'libel actions' against journalists.[23][24][25][26]
From 2008 to 2012, Lee Hsien Loong earned an annual salary of S$3,870,000 (US$2,856,930),[27] an increase of 25% from the previous S$3,091,200 (US$2,037,168).[28] In January 2012, Lee Hsien Loong took a 28% paycut reducing his salary to S$2.2 million (US$1.7 million).[29][30][31] He remains the highest-paid premier in the world.[32]
Lee's first wife, Malaysian-born doctor Wong Ming Yang, died at age 31 on 28 October 1982 of a heart attack,[33] three weeks after giving birth to Lee's first son Li Yipeng, an autistic albino. In 1985 when he was at age 33, Lee married Ms Ho Ching, a fast-rising civil servant who subsequently became the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Temasek Holdings. They have one daughter named Xiuqi and three sons respectively named Yipeng, Hongyi and Haoyi, including one daughter and son from Lee's first wife. (The oldest son of Ho Ching, Li Hongyi, was the winner of the Lee Kuan Yew Award for Math & Science in 2006, the same year he was commissioned as an officer in the Singapore Armed Forces.)

I wanted one for my snakes
posted 7 years ago
I really wanted something that looked like this but my first snakes really had to get totally into the bowl to eat their fish and this was too small for them to do that very well. Maybe they're experienced enough to be able to get one now, but I've gotten to like the green ZooMed one.
Pros: really cool looking
Cons: wasn't big enough for my snakes

Unfortunately, it's housed in one of those god-awful shiny pink bottles...
Of all the colours they could have chosen. I'll be in Paris, later the week, and will have to ask them about the significance of these pink bottles. A new line?
Sounds interesting though. I'm curious to how good this one may be.
LOL! Don't hold your breath. Out of all the news ones released, over the last two years, Full Incense is the only one worth considering.
Oh, that's at the top of my list, along with Pure Amber (from the Confidential collection) and Mango Manga (I'd like to know what it smells like with added perfume oil).
Montale released these pink about 6 months ago. These pink bottles looked too semi-fashion :P And the SA told me that they were too feminin for a man :P
^ It's probably unofficially known as the Girlie Dior-esque Collection, if the other releases are anything to go by...
You're kidding right. That just came out of the Montale name generator software, I bet. Don't all Montales have Aoud, Ambre and Rose already? Will still like to try it though. Pink shiny is pushing it a little!
Montale seriously loves Aoud, how many aouds does that house have?
"It blends aoud, amber and rose into the most gorgeous fragrances; very light on the rose and it features the warmth of the aoud and amber."
Throw in sandalwood and we have another release. I'll still try this one, as long as it smells good, it is a job well done.
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.
More HERE
Please PM me !
Aoud Amber Rose is currently being offered on Ebay.
I can't keep up with all these Montale releases!
I guess I'll stick to Black musk and Aoud Amber Roses for the near future and work out the rest later.
"What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured" Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
Well, I did some research into the Montale releases and it appears that they've always released 6-10 creations per year (usually 2-4 at the beginning of the year, a couple more half-way through the year and 2-4 more during the autumn/winter season). It's just that we're more on the ball with this house, than a few years ago, so it appears the number of releases have increased when, in fact, they actually haven't. Too bad the quality control has dipped, though...
Any thougths on Aoud Amber Rose?
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
There are a few threads here
It reminds me a little of PdN Oud Amber. The rose is pretty subtle in this one IMO.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.

Scientists in both labs made up green-tinctured solutions of each of the 30 molecules in small test tubes and then poked and prodded the solutions by means of analytical techniques to see whether the pigment had aggregated and, if so, how much had formed the assemblies.
Holten's lab studied their absorption of light and their fluorescence (which indicated the presence of monomers, since assemblies don't normally fluoresce) and Bocian's lab studied their vibrational properties, which are determined by the network of bonds in the molecule or pigment aggregate as a whole.
In one crucial test Joseph Springer, a PhD student in Holten's lab, compared the absorption spectrum of a pigment in a polar solvent that would prevent it from self-assembling to the spectrum of the pigment in a nonpolar solvent that would allow the molecules to interact with one another and form assemblies.
"You can see them aggregate," Springer says. "A pigment that is totally in solution is clear, but colored a brilliant green. When it aggregates, the solution becomes a duller green and you can see tiny flecks in the liquid."
The absorption spectra indicated that some pigments formed extensive assemblies and that the steric and electronic properties of the molecules predicted the degree to which they would assemble.
Up next
Although this project focused on self-assembly, the PARC scientists already have taken the next step toward a practical solar device.
"With Pratim Biswas, PhD, the Lucy and Stanley Lopata Professor and chair of the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering, we've since demonstrated that we can get the pigments to self-assemble on surfaces, which is the next step in using them to design solar devices," says Holten.

Lawyers, docs: We'll look like restaurants with menus on wall
More News from Delfin T. Mallari Jr., Philip C. Tubeza
More News from Inquirer Southern Luzon, Philippine Daily Inquirer
Posting the rates that lawyers charge in their offices for the public to see amounts to self-promotion and goes against the rules of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), the head of the group on Wednesday said.
The Philippine Medical Association (PMA) also expressed concern about a Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) plan requiring doctors and other professionals to prominently display their fees in their offices, saying clinics "will look like restaurants with menus outside."
Not selling in market
"We welcome that but there is no universal fee for all patients. Also, I don't see this as a solution. Does it mean that once you post it, you'll be paying the right taxes?" said Oscar Tinio, chair of the PMA committee on BIR affairs.
Tinio said the BIR plan "should be discussed further to come out with the system (for its enforcement)."
IBP national president Vicente Joyas said his group would contest the legality of the BIR plan ordering lawyers, doctors and other professionals to prominently display their fees in their offices.
"If the BIR will push for the implementation of that plan, definitely we will be filing a case in court to question its legality," Joyas said in a phone interview.
Joyas, who is based in Lucena City, said "a lawyer is offering a legal service and not selling goods in the market."
He said all lawyers are not allowed to advertise under the IBP rules and by-laws.
Informing the public of the cost of the lawyer's professional fee by posting it on his office door or elsewhere was tantamount to self-promotion and advertisement.
"That lawyer will be bombarded with disbarment cases, which will be filed by his colleagues," said the IBP president.
In addition, he said an erring lawyer would face administrative charges.
Joyas said he had been receiving queries from IBP members from all over the country wanting to question the legality of the BIR plan.
"My mobile phones have been ringing nonstop from IBP members regarding this BIR plan," he told the Inquirer.
He said the IBP was preparing an official statement on the matter.
On Tuesday, BIR Commissioner Kim Henares announced that the bureau was preparing a memorandum circular requiring doctors, lawyers and other professionals to prominently post their rates in their clinics or offices.
Henares said the directive was aimed at promoting transparency and discouraging tax evasion among self-employed professionals, which she described as a sector notorious for its tax evaders.
Citing BIR data, Henares said that out of the estimated 1.7 million professionals registered with the Professional Regulation Commission, only about 400,000 were registered with the BIR as taxpayers.
However, those who are registered with the BIR are suspected to be significantly underdeclaring their incomes.
The BIR earlier released a report showing that the average annual tax payment by self-employed professionals was less than P6,000 each.
The BIR believes that an average self-employed professional should be paying at least P100,000 in annual taxes.
Tinio said he doubted whether requiring doctors to post their rates in their clinics and offices would solve the problem of tax evasion among their ranks.
The PMA official said the group welcomed Henares' announcement that doctors and other professionals would soon be required to post their rates but added that it should be discussed further to make sure it would work.
No universal fees
He said that while an ordinary consultation with doctors would cost around P300, there was no universal fee for consultations because some doctors were using instruments to find out what was ailing the patient.
"So, will there be instrument fees? It would look like they don't trust doctors," Tinio said.
He also asked whether doctors should now be required to declare their free services like medical missions.
"They see what we earn but they do not see what we don't earn from the services that we render to poor patients," Tinio said.

1040FU (and it's not what you think)
While at the HCLS conference in Missouri, Tom Hood of the Maryland Association of CPAs presented 3 of his fellow panelists with this bottle of 1040FU. What the heck is 1040FU? And no, it's not a bottle of F U.
FU refers to the possession of superior skills. Think of David Carradine and Kung FU. How clever and interesting, and certainly a conversation piece!!!! The panelists and speakers at this conference all possessed a tremendous amount of FU.
The wines, made by Joey Tensley, (ranked #22 in Wine Spectator in 2009) come from California and can be savored in a Syrah and a Red.
The label itself has captions and very amusing wording that will make any CPA chuckle. I bought this for our managing partner, and he thought it was great and displays it on his credenza. As a wine connoisseur, I'm sure he will be enjoying his bottle of Syrah soon.
Is there an accountant in your life that possesses FU? What a fun and interesting way to say "Thanks"!
With another tax season laid to rest, here's to kicking back with a little 1040FU. Enjoy! http://www.1040fu.com/

BD Kit Issues
Great thread, thanks to the OP for getting it started. I bought a 03 BRP with a BD kit already installed and it is turning out to be a headache. When I use the right turn signal, everything is normal. But when I try the left switch, the head light blinks. I have traced the wires and everything seems to be in order. BD says I probably have a worn out handlebar switch and I need to replace what I have. Funny thing is, I started to work on it this morning and what do you know, the left blinker starts working. Problem solved, right? I take out the small ni-cad battery to put a trickle charge on it, put it back in and test again....and its back to the blinking head light. And now my rear running and brake light are out.
Has any one come across something like this before? I'm almost ready to tear the system out and start over again, as there is no telling what the original owner did.
The bike has the stock stator (as far as I can tell).

eBay Briefs: PowerSeller, PayPal, Best Offer Updates
- 14-Nov-07 |

Seasonal, High-Volume Sellers Join PowerSellers
This week eBay announced that planned changes to its PowerSeller program will go into effect Nov.15, 2007. EBay is going to change the program to include high volume "seasonal" sellers and also sellers who move a high volume of product but at a lower average sale price. Other changes to the PowerSeller program include phone support for Bronze PowerSellers who meet the annual sales requirements.
The eBay PowerSeller program is available only to those sellers who sustain a consistent high volume of monthly sales and a high level of total feedback with 98 percent or better positive rating. The minimum monthly sales requirement is $1,000 (100 items) for Bronze, $3,000 (300 items) for Silver, $10,000 (1,000 items) for Gold, $25,000 (2,500 items) for Platinum and $150,000 (15,000 items) to obtain Titanium PowerSeller status.
eBay Countdown Reaches Public Beta
eBay Countdown, a widget that lets you track and bid on auction listings, is out of its limited testing phase and is now available to the public to try, though it is still in development. Countdown lets buyers log into eBay to get instant access and updates on items they are watching or bidding on. It has a visually pleasing interface and provides quick access to bid placement, bid history and auction-end dates. The application also lets shoppers add personal notes that can be referred to as the item is monitored, or, as they enter the bidding process. You can read my recent review of eBay Countdown here.
Is That Your Best Offer?
EBay says it is incorporating a new auto-accept option in its Best Offer feature. Sellers can use the free Best Offer feature to accept offers from buyers on designated items, or to negotiate a mutually acceptable price. With the new auto-accept, sellers can set rules to automatically accept offers above a certain price for each of their items.
PayPal Offers New Holiday Shopping Incentives
Later this month PayPal will begin its holiday incentive promotions. This year the company plans to offer special deals to holiday shoppers that include getting up to 20 percent cash back from participating PayPal merchants and daily shopping sweepstakes. More than 15 vendors, including Barnes & Noble.com, Blue Nile, HP Home and Home Office Store and eToys.com are expected to participate in PayPal's 2007 Holiday Shopping promotion.
Re-gifting 2007 Survey
EBay published the results of its annual re-gifting survey conducted by Harris Interactive, and it appears there is no end to the trend of passing on presents. The survey says that 83 percent of U.S. adults receive unwanted gifts during the holiday season. Almost half of those adults will typically re-gift or sell those unwanted holiday gifts. Here are some of the fun findings from the annual eBay Re-gifting survey:
- Sixty-nine percent of all adults agree that re-gifting or reselling is a form of recycling.
- Seventy percent of adults who have re-gifted a gift say they do so because they feel the item is a better match for someone else. Only eight percent have re-gifted because they were too lazy to purchase another present.
- U.S. adults would be most likely to re-gift items such as food and drink, beauty and bath products and trinkets or collectibles. Top items to resell include electronics and appliances, DVDs, CDs, books and event tickets.
- Fruitcake accounts for 15 percent of the food-and-drink items that people would re-gift.
- About one in four married women has re-gifted or resold one or more items received from her mother-in-law compared with only 16 percent of men.
And what do those who sent a gift that gets past on or sold think of re-gifting? According to eBay's survey, upon discovering that someone has re-gifted or resold an item they had originally given, 46 percent of all adults say they would feel indifferent while 26 percent would feel... amused.Vangie Beal is a seasoned eBay seller, frequent contributor to ECommerce-Guide.com and managing editor of Webopedia.com.

SurePure Announces Publication in The World of Food Ingredients Demonstrating Value of SurePure's Photopurification Technology in Protein Based Liquid Ingredients
NEW YORK, April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — SurePure, Inc. (OTCBB: SURP), a global leader in liquid photopurification, today announced the publication of an article illustrating the unique value that UV surface refreshment technology provides in protein based liquid ingredients. The article is entitled "UV Technology for Protein Based Liquid Ingredients" and was published in the March 2014 issue in The World of Food Ingredients.
The article was authored by Dr. Tatiana Koutchma, Research Scientist in Novel Food Processing, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Dr. Koutchma discussed the how SurePure's patented technology makes it unique and capable in improving the processing of heat sensitive protein based ingredients. The most appropriate applications include liquid whole eggs, liquid egg whites, whey protein derivatives, skim raw milk and cheese milk.
To provide additional background, UV systems mainly use thin film laminar, and annular or coiled tube turbulent flow. SurePure's patented technology employs a combination of the turbulent flow in a thin film that also has a surface refreshment character. The degree of surface refreshment only can be affected by the fluid viscosity that makes SurePure UV light technology independent on the high UV light absorption properties of the fluid because inactivation of the microorganisms occurs during fraction of the residence time spent by this microorganism near the lamp sleeve.
In addition to avoiding heat damage to proteins and better functional quality of proteins, application of UV surface refreshment holds a potential for additional profit of lesser cost and a few regulatory issues to address. There is also scope to use UV surface refreshment technology as an adjunct to pasteurisation, i.e. to increase the shelf life of cheese milk and protein based ingredients or to enable longer holding times between operations when plant capacity is constrained.
The full article can be found in The World of Food Ingredients, March 2014, p. 48-49.
About SurePure

The Election Commission on Tuesday reprimanded Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa for hate speech at a meeting in Shimoga on April 9.
Mr. Eshwarappa is the BJP candidate in Shimoga Assembly constituency for the May 5 polls.
"The perusal of your impugned statement leaves no one in doubt that the same has the effect of inciting communal feelings and promoting hatred and ill-will between different classes of citizens of India, in a surcharged election atmosphere, which is prohibited under the model code of conduct. Now, therefore, the commission has decided to reprimand you for having made the above provocative statement in violation of the model code of conduct and has cautioned you to be careful in future," the Election Commission said.
It rejected Mr. Eshwarappa's reply to its notice, quoting a judgment of the Karnataka High Court, wherein he had claimed that the model code of conduct would come into force from the day of notification of the election (issued on April 10) and not the date of announcement of polls (March 20). The Election Commission quoted a verdict of the Supreme Court to justify its stand on the date when the poll code would come into effect.

Modern businesses today consider their intellectual property as one of their most valuable assets. This is certainly the case for the fashion industry, where brands rely heavily upon trademark laws in the absence of a more robust copyright framework. Through well orchestrated marketing campaigns, fashion brands can appeal to a market sector based upon price, quality, style, or even status, and create a unique association in the public's mind about their goods. As with any other business, however, selling fashion is not without risk. A brand can face lawsuits for trademark and trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, and defamation just to name a few. If a business took out a Comprehensive General Liability insurance policy, then it should look to its "advertising injury" coverage (referred to as "coverage B") when faced with such a lawsuit.
Understanding such clauses, however, can prove critical. Insurance companies take a narrow view of what constitutes an "advertising injury" which often results in an insurance coverage denial. A policyholder should be prepared to contest such denials especially where there is "sufficient legal uncertainty about the coverage issue" at the time the tender was made.

WESTMINSTER, Calif. Prosecutors say an argument over houseguests led a Southern California woman to cut off her estranged husband's penis and put it down a garbage disposal.
Catherine Kieu, 48, was charged Wednesday with torture in a case that has garnered international attention and could land her behind bars for life.
Kieu appeared briefly in Orange County Superior Court in a navy blue jail jumpsuit, hiding her face with her long, dark hair. She was appointed a public attorney and denied bail.
She was placed in the jail's medical ward to be psychologically evaluated, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino told the Orange County Register.
The petite woman whose chains clanked as she shuffled into the caged area of the courtroom where inmates are held will return to court July 22 for her arraignment, which was continued on Wednesday, and a bail review hearing.
Kieu and her husband were still living together in a Garden Grove condo that he owned. He had filed for divorce in May, and they argued before the attack about friends staying at the condo, authorities said.
On Monday night, police say Kieu spiked a meal and served it to the victim.
The 60-year-old man started to feel sick and went to lie down, then awoke tied to the bed as Kieu attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen knife, police said.
She then put the penis down a garbage disposal, police said.
"It's hard to believe what would motivate a person to do this sort of thing," the district attorney's chief of staff, Susan Kang Schroeder, said outside court. "It's one of the worst things you could do to a person short of killing him."
Police did not release the victim's name. He underwent surgery and was listed in good condition at University of California at Irvine Medical Center, hospital spokesman John Murray said.
Murray declined to say whether the penis was reattached or provide any additional details about the victim's condition, citing patient privacy laws.
Dr. Joel Gelman heads UC Irvine's Center for Reconstructive Urology, didn't comment on the victim specifically but said a severed penis is "a terrible loss and it's the hardest thing, in our specialty, to deal with surgically."
In cases of penis loss, a penis-like structure with limited utility can be constructed using flesh and skin from the forearm, said Gelman.
Kieu was charged with one felony count of torture, one felony count of aggravated mayhem and sentencing enhancements for great bodily injury and personal use of a knife. If convicted of all counts, she could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Garden Grove Police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said Kieu called police Monday night to report a medical emergency and told arriving officers "he deserved it" before pointing to the room where the victim was found bleeding profusely. She was taken into custody without incident and refused to talk to officers further.
The couple was married in December 2009. When the victim filed for divorce, he cited irreconcilable differences, court records show. Kieu was slowly moving her things out of the condo, authorities said.

Disciplining Calif. doctors is a long process
LOS ANGELES When details emerged about the fertility treatments for "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, the California Medical Board swung into action, investigating her physician and eventually accusing him of negligence.
Whether Dr. Michael Kamrava keeps his medical license will be determined following a hearing that resumes Wednesday in Los Angeles. The proceeding has garnered significant attention due to Kamrava's famous patient, who became a worldwide media sensation.
But the fact the hearing is happening at all is notable.
The California board rarely takes action against a doctor and it's rarer still for physicians to lose their medical licenses.
The board's latest annual report for fiscal year 2009 shows that from a compendium of 6,539 complaints, just 276 "accusations" - board jargon for charges - were brought against doctors. Less than 2 percent of complaints lead to the ultimate penalty: loss of medical licenses.
California ranks 43rd among states in taking serious disciplinary action against doctors, according to Washington, D.C.-based Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group.
And despite efforts over the years to hasten the process, it still takes about 2 1/2 years for a complaint to be resolved - an awfully long time for a potentially dangerous doctor to be practicing.
The board moved fairly quickly against Kamrava, taking roughly 10 months to wrap up its investigation and accuse him of negligence for implanting 12 embryos that produced the world's longest-living octuplets, who turn 2 in January.
On average it takes about a year to complete an investigation and another 18 months to resolve a complaint. An appeals process adds more time.
That means California disciplines fewer doctors than the national average and exceeds its own standards on how long it should take to wrap up a complaint.
A 5-year-old law aimed at speeding the process has only shaved a month off the average completion time, which is 878 days. The state has a new plan to trim the timetable to 540 days by 2013, but it depends in part on adding new positions during a hiring freeze.
Former state Sen. Liz Figueroa, D-Alameda County, sponsored the 2005 legislation. She called the medical board "the ultimate good old boys" network that over the years has used its influence within state government to beat back efforts to more strictly regulate and penalize doctors.
Figueroa said the board maintains an air "of being all-knowing and doing good," and "they can go to a legislator" and get their way.
There's also evidence that a board consisting mainly of doctors may be reluctant to go hard after their own.
For example, physicians are legally bound to provide medical records for an investigation within 15 days or face fines. But it usually takes about two months for investigators to get the documents and the medical board rarely issues fines. Since 2004, six fines totaling $6,200 have been imposed, and the board collected just $3,700.
State law also stipulates that complaint investigations be completed within six months. But it usually takes twice that and there's no penalty for failing to meet the deadline.

Sergio Romo removed from Giants' closer role
Jun 29, 2014, 4:37 PM EDT
Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Sunday afternoon — as relayed by Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle — that right-hander Sergio Romo has been stripped of the club's closer gig. The Giants plan to use a committee for a while, with righty Santiago Casilla and lefty Jeremy Affeldt getting the majority of the save opportunities.
Romo blew his fifth save of the season on Saturday night when he allowed a two-run homer to Brandon Phillips in the top of the ninth inning after issuing a leadoff walk to Joey Votto. The Giants lost the tilt in extra innings and are now just one game up on the surging Dodgers in the NL West standings.
Romo owns a rough 5.17 ERA in 31 1/3 total innings this season for San Francisco.
He had a 2.54 ERA in 60 1/3 innings last season and a 1.79 ERA in 2012.
- clydeserra - Jun 29, 2014 at 4:52 PM
what is the opposite of firing on all cylinders? Cuz that's what the giants are doing.
- sisqsage - Jun 29, 2014 at 5:02 PM
Don't forget the history people. Wilson would be the closer right now and getting in position for a run at the HOF if he hadn't needed another TJ. Romo replaced Casilla in 2012 after Casilla needed to go on the DL. Romo was awesome in the 2012 playoffs but has struggled since. He was never supposed to be the closer. He got pushed into it and did about as well as could be expected with only a 90 mph fast ball and ever slower slider. He's fearless, but that can only take you so far. Casilla has better stuff (a great fastball with movement), and will stabilize things from here on out. Plenty of time to right the ship, and this is a good first step. Romo is best suited to be a setup guy, and will be a big contributor in that role.
We should be more worried about Pagan's absence. Blanco is getting way more ABs than he can handle with predictable results. Bochy should have Pence be the leadoff guy. At least he will get on base and is actually a pretty good base stealer. Just set the table for Posey, Panda and Morse. Maybe Duvall can stick. His power is legit.
- clydeserra - Jun 29, 2014 at 5:33 PM
HOF? you're funny
Jario Garcia is not your answer. but yeah, you are right, Romo was forced into the role and did well. Especially with what he has.
Also, yeah, duh, Pagan is sorely missed.
- sisqsage - Jun 29, 2014 at 6:36 PM
The key for Wilson would have been staying healthy. If he had, he would be in the 300 save neighborhood. That gets you in the HOF conversation. He probably would need more good years going forward, but he would get some votes, especially with multiple world rings on his resume.
- spyder9669 - Jun 29, 2014 at 5:09 PM
Thank god. His one and only pitch isn't cutting it anymore. Finally got a gem from Cain and still couldn't get the damn win. Until ownership starts to spend some real money on big time talent, this division is owned by LA. They pull out all the stops to field a superior team. Giants are just unwilling to do the same.
- clydeserra - Jun 29, 2014 at 5:46 PM
yup anytime you score 2 runs in 9 innings you expect to win the game
- jwbiii - Jun 29, 2014 at 6:17 PM
The Giants have the #7 payroll. They have have a significantly better record than three of the teams which have spent more (Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox).
- thetxhammer - Jun 29, 2014 at 5:33 PM
Lol LA pulls out all the stops to field a superior team and how many championships have the Giants in the last few years? And the Dodgers?
Good call.
- spyder9669 - Jun 29, 2014 at 7:42 PM
Actually the Dodgers do field a better team. All stars up and down the lineup. The best pitching staff filled with aces. We have the #7 payroll mostly made up of 1 win Matt Cain and 10 HR Hunter Pence. Bumgarner also makes over 100 mill and hes either dominant or gets lit up. Timmy makes 20 mill a year to have a 5 era and throw 1 no hitter. Yea we lucked into 2 WS titles thanks to Cody Ross and Zito getting hot out of nowhere. Go ahead and keep banking on stuff like that. Meanwhile LA keeps banking All Stars and wins.

TAMPA, Fla., May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Comprehensive Care Corporation ("CompCare") (OTC BB: CHCR), a leading behavioral health, substance abuse and psychotropic pharmacy management services provider for managed care companies throughout the U.S., today announced that its revenues for the first quarter of 2012 ending March 31, 2012 totaled $17,890,000. Net income totaled $80,000 for the quarter.
"We are pleased to announce that CompCare achieved a profit, albeit modest, for its first quarter of 2012. This was an important goal for CompCare following completion of significant changes in our business structure and the streamlining and automation of key business functions," said Robert Kulbick, the Company's new president.
"We are especially pleased that our at-risk pharmacy contracts produced $9,597,000 in revenue in the first three months of 2012. The 19.8 percent increase over the first quarter of last year is attributable primarily to a 9.9 percent increase in members and a contract rate increase, effective Jan. 1, 2012, from our major customer in Puerto Rico for whom CompCare manages the psychotropic drug benefits," Mr. Kulbick explained. "We are also pleased that general and administrative costs decreased in the quarter to $515,000 compared to $1,161,000 in the same period in 2011."
"For the past two years, CompCare's management team has worked hard to improve the foundation of the Company, such that it can support substantial, profit oriented growth. We now offer services in 46 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, compared to a much smaller number in 2009. We have recently launched the expansion of our drug management program on an at-risk basis to health plans and self insured entities to reduce their drug spend. Plus we have expanded our service provider network to approximately 35,000 providers. There is still much work to be done. However, we are proud of our

"Minimum of 60 per cent marks may be prescribed for admission"
"College hours should be increased from four to five or six hours"
No provision in the rules for condoning the age limit: judge
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has suggested scrapping, in a phased manner, of the three-year law course, as the five-year integrated course had been introduced to replace it.
It has also suggested that classes in law colleges have to be conducted like a regular college on the lines of the National Law School. Attendance should be made mandatory. College hours should be increased from four to five or six hours and classes conducted in the morning and afternoon so that students would stick to their studies.
Disposing of a writ petition, Justice N. Kirubakaran has also recommended that a minimum of 60 per cent marks may be prescribed for getting admission to law colleges so that comparatively more competent, bright and intelligent students would enroll. It would enhance the quality and competence in the legal profession. If necessary, the antecedents of students may be verified before admitting them.
The Judge said he was making the suggestions regarding quality law education and the government and Bar Council of India (BCI) may take note of them.
In his petition, M. Santhosh Antony Vareed challenged the age limit of 30 years as on June 1, 2009 fixed for three-year B.L. degree course. He sought to quash it and a consequent direction to Tamil Nadu Dr.Ambedkar Law University to accept his application. As he was overage by eight days, he missed the chance to apply for the law course.
Mr. Justice Kirubakaran said the BCI, after many deliberations to enhance the quality of law education and to streamline the procedure for admission, brought out changes. One such condition was fixing the age limit for admission.
He said the relief sought for could not be granted. Moreover there was no provision in the rules for condoning the age limit. "Any academic course requires age limit for getting admission. A young mind can be moulded whereas a matured mind cannot be moulded very easily." Fixing of age limit for admission would bring uniformity among students.
Mr. Justice Kirubakaran said the time had come to revamp and upgrade legal education. Fixing the age limit was a step in the right direction.
"Only when right and bright students are admitted to law colleges… talented people will come out of the law colleges and they alone can play important role in protecting rule of law, democracy and administration of justice."
When the petitioner's counsel sought leave of the court to file a representation to the university submitting his grievances and the same may be directed to be disposed of, the Judge directed the petitioner to make the representation within one week. The university was at liberty to dispose it of in accordance with law within two weeks thereafter.
