Zia Quizon, old soul
Singer Zia Quizon remembers dad Dolphy: "I spent a lot of time with my dad so… I say things like 'Why do things cost so much nowadays?,' 'Noong araw…,' and 'Those kids!' I feel kind of old so I've always felt I couldn't relate to kids my age." (More on Zia in the July 7 issue of Sunday Inquirer Magazine.)

Boeing 787 launch operator All Nippon Airways (ANA) is seeking compensation from Boeing for the delays to the aircraft programme.
"We've been talking to them for a while. Compensation in situations like this is a 'regular procedure' between the manufacturer and operator," says ANA president and CEO Shinichiro Ito.
The Star Alliance carrier is scheduled to receive its first 787 in the mid-first quarter of 2011, after a series of several delays to the programme.
While acknowledging that the delays were disappointing, Ito says they will be "worth it" if Boeing delivers on its promise to deliver a better and more efficient aircraft.
"We are confident that they will keep to their latest announced date," says Ito, who adds that ANA has not received any notice of further delays to the first delivery.
Earlier this month, sources told Flightglobal that the airframer is reviewing its 787 delivery schedule as it looks at how to handle the extensive amount of work required for the airframes to meet certification standards.
While ANA believes that its first delivery is still on track, the airline says it is uncertain how many aircraft it will receive in 2011.
"We are asking Boeing to fix the delivery schedule as soon as possible," says Ito.
The latest delay to the first delivery, announced in August, was believed to be driven by the 2 August failure of a production Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 'Package A' engine during routine testing.
Rolls-Royce has rolled out a modified and improved version of the engine, referred to as the 'Package B' powerplant.
ANA says it has requested for 'Package B' engines to be installed on its later 787 units, although it is uncertain how many of ANA's 787s will have the modified powerplants eventually.
"The first 787s, however, will still have 'Package A' engines," says Ito.

The U.K. government is still considering proposals to make plain packaging compulsory for tobacco products, Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman said after the Guardian reported that the country will follow Australia in introducing such a law as early as May.
Imperial Tobacco Group Plc, Europe's second-biggest tobacco company, fell the most in five weeks in London after the Guardian reported that the U.K. plans to follow Australia in introducing plain packaging for cigarettes.
A new condom that aims to enhance erections may also lift earnings and buyout prospects for unprofitable U.K. drugmaker Futura Medical Plc.
Pernod Ricard SA, Europe's second- largest distiller, added to concern that growth in emerging- markets is ebbing as it reported a slowdown in some less- established regions.
Diageo Plc, the world's largest distiller, surged in London trading after reporting improved full-year profit and targeting accelerated sales growth.
Unilever, the world's second- biggest consumer-products maker, fell the most in a month in Amsterdam trading after Investec Securities removed its "buy" recommendation on the shares for the first time in 17 years.
"Unilever remains a pan-category player in a world where the zeitgeist is around focus."

BREAKING NEWS: Australian Cyclists Party Announces NSW Election Plans – 21 Candidates to Contest both Upper an Lower House seats
Our Aim: A Cycling Friendly Australia
Our Vision: We believe that cycling can serve to liberate and inspire. It is a positive and powerful force for improving the health and well-being of individuals, our communities and our nation.
Over 3.6 million people ride a bicycle regularly in Australia today. Despite this, government continues to fail to provide adequate facilities or to look after the safety of those who do ride or would ride a bicycle. The first Cyclists Party in Australia – and indeed the World – was formed to transform government policy towards cycling and all of its derived benefits in community health, education, planning, transport, regional development, economic vitality and environmental sustainability. We have contested in Victoria and soon in NSW and Federally. We are also preparing to contest in other States and Territories.
How can you help?
Become a member. In each state and at the federal level we must have a certain number of party members in order to register the party for forthcoming elections. For instance we require 500 in Victoria (we are nearly there!). All members must be on the electoral roll in their state before joining and cannot be a member of more than one party.
Identify your skills and how you can help us! We need help currently to sign up members through word of mouth, online promotion and at events in Victoria and other States and Territories. We are also recruiting members for future electoral efforts in other states and territories.
Donate to help us keep running. We are a grass-roots organisation that has been self-funded however we need funds to pay for our efforts and registrations. Every bit helps, so please donate if you can. Please note that donations are voluntarily capped by us at less than $1000 per person per financial year.

Ruby Compiled With Clang Is Noticeably Faster Than GCC
While in our benchmark runs the performance of generated binaries between GCC and LLVM's Clang C/C++ compilers are generally quite close, there are exceptions. When it comes to real-world usage of Clang, most companies tend to just utilize Clang for now when producing debug builds due to its faster compile times and better diagnostics than GCC, but GCC still ends up getting used for producing release/production builds.

'Botox Mom' Investigated by Child Services After 'Good Morning America' Interview
Callers flooded the phone lines of the Human Services Agency, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, after Kerry Campbell appeared on 'GMA' with daughter Britney, 8, discussing the extreme beauty regimen, including hair-waxing as well as Botox.
The controversial mom, who claims she's a trained esthetician, wasn't making a first-time confession on 'GMA' -- earlier this year, the 34-year-old demonstrated for a British news outlet her technique for administering Botox injections into her little girl's face, and claimed the practice is growing on the kiddie pageant circuit.
Of her Botox shots, Britney told 'GMA' correspondent Lara Spencer, "It hurt sometimes, but I get used to it."
Britney also told 'GMA' she endured treatments of Botox (which cause facial bruising and swelling, as seen in photos of Britney) because she thinks she "looks way better, like, beautiful, pretty... like, all those kinds of nice words."
Is it possible Mom believes her child is a willing self-improvement fiend? "My friends think it's cool I have all the treatments and they want to be like me," Britney reportedly told the U.K.'s Sun. "I check every night for wrinkles [and] when I see some, I want more injections....They used to hurt, but now I don't cry that much...I also want a boob and nose job soon."
Campbell has also reportedly administered bikini waxes to her daughter in the hopes that she won't grow pubic hair. She told the Sun, ""All I want is for Britney to have the best start in life, so it is easier for her to become a superstar."
The Botox products for little Britney are allegedly purchased online by Campbell, who claims to have no doubts about the treatments' safety. The FDA approves the use of Botox in U.S. patients who are age 18 and older.

The childs mother told cps, that she has her little girls bikini waxed, in hopes, she will never grow pubic hair..
Its one thing for a parent to look at the big picture, but this is going way to far. There are too many people having children, that dont have one clue as to how to raise them, this is a fine example. Its crytal clear the mother is into looks, to have any type of work done on a child this young is abuse, in my book.
These child pagents are ridiculous, a little girl should be just that, a little girl. Not something that should be dressed up, to look like a grown woman by the time she can walk.
- Saturday 14 MayBy Mary
Makes you wonder how many other mothers do that to their child to win these stupid pageants. I feel bad for these little girls who have to go through the pageants just to fufill moms dreams.

Another bad thing is the child says her friends think it's cool, and want to be like her! DISGUSTING! She wants a boob and nose job?? Really? This child doesn't get, as the mother claims, the best start in life. What this baby gets is no life at all. She will always be disappointed because she hasn't been taught to love herself.

All the mothers of these little girls that are in pagents are NUTS!They should close down all child pageants altogether...
- Saturday 14 MayBy jastiffler
That is horrible, there aren't even words for it! Why would you even want to expose your child to an environment where the pressure to be "beautiful" results in such extreme measures? Not only are the botox treatments criminal in my opinion, but if that's what a beauty pagent promotes....that's child abuse!

BROCKWAY — Wednesday night, more than 150 people attended a public hearing to voice their concerns about a gas company's proposal to drill in Brockway borough.
Sen. Joe Scarnati (R-25), state Rep. Sam Smith (R-66) and state Rep. Matt Gabler (R-78), called the meeting to give Brockway residents the opportunity to get answers from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Flatirons Resources, the company whose proposal has caused dissatisfaction for local residents.
"Tonight's purpose is for people to be able to come here to ask questions directly of DEP, directly of Flatirons and get answers," Scarnati said. "And I am very hopeful that we can have a very informative and helpful format for everybody."
Flatirons Resources LLC is an independent oil and gas company based in Denver, with an branch office in DuBois.
Larry Moore and Todd Huey, both of Flatirons Resources, gave a presentation about the company, and showed attendees a video about the horizontal gas well drilling process.
Moore said the company has completed wells in 11 states and has received more than 400 leases.
One of the wells the company completed is in Brockway, as the company drilled and fracked Well No. 6 in the Rattlesnake and Whetstone portions of the Brockway watershed.
But now, the company is looking to drill Well No. 5.
At the meeting, the first person to ask a question was Dave McKolanis, of DuBois, who asked Flatirons why it decided to drill a well in Rattlesnake Creek in the first place, since it is considered to be a high-quality reservoir.
High-quality reservoirs, or water sheds that are in "pristine" condition, are not allowed to be polluted or deteriorated in any way.
A Flatirons rep said the company bought mineral rights under leases and has been abiding by the rules set forth by DEP.
The rep also said it doesn't do any good to drill water where the company can't sell gas.
Scott Perry, deputy secretary for the Oil and Gas Program, said protecting water quality and particularly protecting the drinking water supply is most important to him, and he believes Flatirons Resources has adhered to state law.
"We've had a lot of oil and gas wells that have been developed near pristine streams and rivers," Perry said. "I don't care if it's the Susquehanna River or my favorite trout stream or the Brockway Municipal Authority Water Supply, I don't want to see anything getting into the waters of the commonwealth."
Perry said to consider a well permit is to ensure a driller such as Flatirons Resources is adhering to well-construction standards, adding that DEP has worked "very vigorously" to improve those standards by making them more restrictive.
"I don't want to really talk a lot about responding to spills and events," Perry said. "Our job is to ensure that they don't occur in the first place ... when it comes to protecting water supplies. We don't want to be dealing with a reaction. We want to be proactive. We want to ensure there is no impact in the first place."
During his presentation, Huey also informed the audience that his company has a Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) plan in place, as required by DEP, which is used in the event of an emergency.
Huey also said that Flatirons performs annual, semi-annual and monthly reporting.
Bruce Miller, a member of the Brockway Area Clean Water Alliance, said the new proposed well Flatirons is looking to permit is within 1,000 feet of Brockway borough's water source.
He asked Scarnati if he would allow the company to drill with House Bill 1950 now in place.
But according to a DEP official, House Bill 1950, which was urged on by Scarnati, and recently passed Gov. Tom Corbett, says that no "new" well can be drilled within 1,000 feet of a rock reservoir or public water supply well.
However, if there's already an existing pad with a well permit on it, and the existence of a well site, then distance restrictions do not apply, and Flatirons Resource is not affected by the bill in this instance.
"I guess then that House Bill 1950 didn't do us any good," Miller said. "What in House Bill 1950 does help our watershed to keep this drilling from going on?"
In answer to Miller's question, Perry said it clearly contemplates future pad development.
"If there's not an existing pad at the time the law goes into effect April 14, then those distance provisions of 1,000 feet apply," Perry said.
Another member of the Brockway Area Clean Water Alliance, P.J. Piccirillo, also voiced his concerns, especially in regard to the lack of response from the legislators.
He said Smith has not responded to three of his letters, and asked him if he was "on the wrong side of the table?"
But Scarnati defended the work he, Smith and Gabler have done to protect the people they represent.
"There isn't anybody in this room that's from Brockway that I don't either see on the streets, in the post office, in the grocery store or at Mass, and I have been accessible," Scarnati said. "There isn't one person that hasn't called, written or e-mailed me that I haven't responded to."
House Bill 1950 imposes an impact fee on Marcellus Shale gas extraction. It was signed into law early last week and gives counties the authority to pass ordinances to allow municipalities and townships to collect impact money.
The Jefferson County Commissioners approved their portion of the law last Tuesday.
But to some residents, such as Miller, this is not enough, and he would like to see no drilling — at all — in the borough's watershed.
"I'm proud of this town, and I'm proud of representing this town," Scarnati said. " ... I'm not going to let this town look like people that aren't going to hear a debate and hear information. DEP came here tonight to give you information ... and if you want to hear me pontificate, or Sam Smith pontificate about things in Harrisburg, I can do that all night, but that's not getting us anywhere."
DEP officials said they will not make a decision on Flatirons proposal to drill in the watershed until after March 14. Kelly Burch, the northwest regional director for DEP, added that the agency will reassess the watershed in April.

Product Information
What It Is
The Lord of the Rings fans can travel from Bag-End to Mount Doom with Monopoly: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition. This themed version of the classic board game plays like the original version but with some custom Lord of the Rings (LOTR) rules.
The object of the game is to be the only player left in the game after everyone else has gone bankrupt. To do this, buy properties and charge other players rent for landing on them. Collect groups of properties to increase the rent, then build Strongholds and Fortresses (instead of houses and hotels) to boost your income. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their token clockwise around the board the number of spaces shown on the dice. Follow the directions on whatever space you land. Like in regular Monopoly, you might have to pay another player rent, have the opportunity to purchase a space, go to jail, or collect 200 power (instead of dollars) for passing Go.
But there are special LOTR-themed spaces. Each square on the board represents a different Middle Earth location, such as Farmer Maggot's and the Gap of Rohan.
The Good and Evil spaces prompt players to take the top card from the appropriate card pile and follow the instructions on the card. You might get invited to sail to the undying lands and gain 200 power. Or you might get captured by the Uruk-Hai and head to jail.
The Mounts Shadowfax, Great Eagle, Mumakil, and Fell Beast replace the traditional railroad spaces.
The six playing pieces are in the shape of Sting, Gandalf's Hat, Bill the Pony, Aragorn's Crown, an Elven Brooch, and Boromir's Gondorian Horn.
Monopoly: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition comes with a gameboard, six collectible tokens, 28 title deed cards, 16 evil cards, 16 good cards, power currency, 32 houses renamed strongholds, 12 hotels renamed fortresses, and two dice. The game is for two to six players.
Is It Fun?
The Lord of the Rings fans will enjoy traveling through Middle Earth and reliving the books and movies with this themed game. If you've played Monopoly before, this version will be familiar to you. If you're a fan of LOTR, you'll enjoy the extra game features that make this Monopoly game such a great collector's edition.
Who It's For
Monopoly: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition is for The Lord of the Rings fans ages 8 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Monopoly: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition is available to purchase at Amazon.com.

Not sure. Only thing I was told is that it (the organization, not the stringing) seemed to get better towards the end of the week.

No one with any common sense relies on unknown stringers at junior or futures level.
Bring your own / hire stringer and do it yourself or have close traveling friend do the group of players, that's what the asians do.
Drak, if complaints were so bad and numerous, why didn't ryou solicit the exiting clients? Probably charge $5-10 extra.
The players and parents receive little sympathy from me.
Equinox, although you have raised some interesting points, I have to disagree. For example, A parent traveling with their child from Austria is not going to be familiar with the area in order to find another stringer or service, which is why the tournament is expected to do this.
The tournament is responsible for providing the service, and it should be a quality one,,,, not the parent or participant being responsible to secure thier own stringing service. Many tournaments, including the USTA demand the venue provide it or outsource it, which was the case here. At the two nationals I string at every year, the venue has to provide the service.
Secondly, it is very hard to just get a bunch of stringers together (mid-tournament) to fix it. Guys/gals that string for a living aren't just sitting at home twiddling their thumbs in the hopes of being called in case something goes wrong at a local tournament.
Most stringing "teams" prepare for tournaments such as this one weeks/months in advance. For example, I have already been hired to service two futures in January 2012. I have to now plan to hire someone else to asist me, get all the supplies together. Ensure my machines are functioning properly, etc, etc, etc. There is a lot of planning involved, including gathering a lot of supplies. This can't be done mid-tournament.
As for me soliciting some of the players..... I strung for several players privately, including the # 1 seed in the boys 18's at the request of mutual friends/clients. Many others I strung for practiced quite a bit at the club I string at, so I ended up servicing their frames. I saw many of the frames that were brought to me, including one that was warped, and the one I described with the crazy "around the world" pattern.
Lastly, as for your comment regarding "Asian players", I strung for a whole traveling team of Asians at a futures last year. None of them had ever met me, rather relied on the service provided at the venue, which happened to be me.

Disney Road
I've never been.
Maybe more like a technology "showcase"... I guess that's the same thing... I don't know...
The outer part of the building constantly turn clockwise so people can easily enter all the time in small groups, while the inner core and top floor stay stationary.
You can do whatever you want to, and take as much time as you want to.
Must see would probably include ASIMO, there's probably more, but I can't remember what right now.
The segway demo is pretty cool.

It's being retrofitted right now with Microsoft's House of the Future. I believe that's taking most of the bottom floor and some of the top floor.
Previously the trick was to jump off the spinny part as soon as Tom Morrow stopped talking and head upstairs as the downstairs contained only dated Disney computer games.
It's the part of the park that's exempt from the whole "Disneyland is not a museum" thing.
In my limited experience, once inside...
It takes 5 minutes to realize you've been had and this is Disneyland's infomercial.
It takes 15 minutes to get your vegetarian stepfather to give up trying to get some interactive nutritional calculation exhibit to work.
It takes another 20 minutes to find the exit, which is on the second floor, even though you entered on the first floor.
So around 40 minutes .

Pratfall the albatross superheroine visits the Carthay Circle Theatre.
Definitely can't miss - ASIMO (times can be found when you're in there)
Amount of time - depends on your age (at heart) or kids ages
Some new video games to try as well as old ones, including some with new technologies
Things are always changing - some related things, some more stations of the popular ones...
Should be much more interesting when the new House is finished (next month?)
VMK is there now, but said to be leaving from everywhere
You basically don't know what you might find each time, and so, how much time you might want to spend. They always keep doing something new and different, usually adding something with new technology, but saving the best for other attractions. You can get an idea by just walking through and then deciding how much time you want to spend after that.
Eddie: You mean to tell me you could have taken your hand out of those cuffs at any time?
Roger: Not at any time. Only when it's funny.
I haven't seen the new Project Tomorrow, so I can't answer that.
I'd like to try Segways.
ASIMO is pretty neat.
And Stitch's Picture Phone is fun.
The new House of the Future is opening I think late May, so I'll also have to check that out.
I don't really bother with everything else. Just use Innoventions and HISTA while you have a Fastpass for another nearby attraction. At the moment while the House of the Future is under construction, entrance and exit is at the exit ramp.

It's one of those things that is better than dead space, but not as good as a pre-1998 Disney ride. And it's MUCH better than having a new (read: Pixar) ride being put inside there.

What does one do at Innoventions?
What I recommend doing at Innoventions is walk right past it on your way to the Autopia and then walk past it again on your way to Nemo. Both times, remember when it had something worth your time inside (Like America Sings or the Carousel of Progress) and then enjoy the rest of your day.
How much time does it take?

There's no longer a spinning first floor. You walk up a long ramp to the second floor now. Half of the space is blocked off, leaving many lame interactive displays. Most are health related. One mildly interesting one shows you how you'll age, based on your photo and questions regarding your lifestyle. One display is a scale that shows you your weight and BMI -- yep, a fancy scale. You can play various XBox (I think) games but the only vacant stations will be the ones that don't work.
You can ride a Segway up there but the line and the questionnaire last longer than the ride. You can see Asimo and people say it's amazing but I've never been.
Wait until something else goes in there.
Look at it as a Miniature "1964 World's Fair Tech Expo Pavillion".
And slide the date forward to about a year in the past from wherever you are, because they don't make a big effort to get and stay ahead of the curve. Moore's Law marches on (Computers double in speed and abilities roughly every 18 months) and they have last years' breakthroughs on display.
The Segway test drive depends on line length, but there are only two CM's and two Segways (others are on recharge) so it takes a while.
You can spend 15 minutes or three hours in there, all depends on what grabs your fancy. I usually cruise through to see if there is anything new, and if not spend about twenty in there. Still have to go on a weekday for the Segway trial.
This summer they are supposed to have a new 'entry show' built and running at the downstairs entry as a Homage/Update to 'House Of The Future', and other new downstairs exhibits to go along with it. We shall see whether what they do warrants a "Must see" - or at least a "Must see once."

Best outing we did! Didn't get tour guide's name on Sunday, March 8, but he was great. Stopped at Snappers Rocks. Just beautiful! Then lighthouse. And finally Byron Bay. We were able to rent beach chairs and an umbrella and enjoy the beach for a little while. Lunch at the Balcony was vey good. A little shopping then it was time to head back. Fruit World was at the end of the season but our guide helped us to sample some of the interesting fruits. More of just a pit stop. Overall great day!

VANCOUVER The campaigns for and against Washington s Referendum 74 are gearing up for a final push to attract voters in the same sex marriage battle.
If passed on November 6th, R-74 would approve a bill the state legislature agreed on and the governor signed last February. Both campaigns are beginning to run television advertisements in the state in the final weeks before election day.
Jill Nelson is supporting Referendum 74. She says she wants the same legal rights as heterosexual couples for her family, which include a female partner and a daughter.
Right now it s a priority for me to invest not just my money but my time so you know I m signing up for the phone banks and trying to fit in a canvassing-- doing that and trying not to miss my daughter s soccer games because you know we re a family, said Nelson.
The campaign opposing R-74 did not return calls for this story, but Preserve Marriage Washington is hitting the airwaves with its message.
It argues same sex couples will not receive legal rights under R-74 that are not already afforded by Washington s everything but marriage law, but the referendum will redefine marriage for all society.

In the latest LOTR Online developer blog, Turbine revealed that the November update will bring over 250 new quests available for all players.
The advent of free-to-play in The Lord of the Rings Online™ created a host of challenges that we needed to address. One of these was the way that the content flow through the world would be broken apart after players get beyond the first levels. We made the decision early that we were not going to restrict a character's ability to gain levels at a fixed point; instead we were going to allow players to move through the various levels of the Shadows of Angmar content unimpeded. Another early decision was to make the Epic Story 100% free. We feel strongly that our story is the best aspect of our game, and we truly want to share that with new players.
While the Epic Story ended up on the free side of the equation, not all of the game content could, so we assembled the Region Packs starting with the Lone-lands. Since the launch of Free-to-Play, this decision has been one of the more hotly discussed topics amongst the Free player population and we knew that we needed to do something to augment the way that the truly Free-to-Play populace advanced through the game.
The result is the addition of over 250 new quests that are 100% free to all players!

We work in ways that honor the rights of women, indigenous communities and other minorities.
IDEX values initiatives that come from people who want to create change for themselves. We provide the financial support. Local leaders and community members do the rest. The work of our grantees typically integrate two or more solutions central to advancing IDEX's mission including women's empowerment, building local economies, and caring for the environment. IDEX limits its partnerships – its funding – to poverty alleviation organizations in 6 target countries: Guatemala, India, Mexico, Nepal, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
How We Grant
IDEX does not fund individuals. IDEX does not accept unsolicited proposals for partnership or grants. We invite new partners a few at a time in 1-2 countries at a time, every 1-2 years. When we are looking to fund new groups, we go through a series of steps:
- We research a dozen prospective organizations "on paper," reviewing their websites, financials, etc. We also collect recommendations from current partners in the region and other international development organizations.
- Next we conduct site visits with 5 to 8 organizations or more and meet with the staff, board members, and the communities involved.
- Then we select 2 to 4 organizations to receive small catalyst grants (read more below) for projects of 6-12 months in duration as a way of exploring our relationship with them.
- Finally, after the small grant period is up, we invite 1 or 2 impressive grantees to become a "partner." This entails a 3-year funding commitment on IDEX's part with grants of $15,000 or more.
Catalyst Grants
The catalyst grants program is the way IDEX finds and selects new organizations to receive small grants. Because partnership entails a significant commitment over 3 to 6 years, we choose partners carefully, with confidence that the partner organization operates in an accountable, democratic, and transparent way in working towards lasting social change for marginalized communities. Catalyst grantees will receive approximately $5,000 for a project lasting 6 to 12 months. The small grant affords IDEX a low-risk opportunity to work with an organization works before selecting them for a longer-term relationship.
Selection Criteria
IDEX partners are selected based on their adherence to the following eight criteria:
1. Participatory Approach
The organization seeks to improve the quality of life of groups, communities or neighborhoods through the participation of beneficiaries and collaborates with broader social movements towards achieving its goals. The organization seeks to holistically integrate social, cultural, economic, environmental and/or political dimensions in its work. The organization seeks to incorporate gender equity in all aspects of its work.
2. Local Leadership
The organization fosters leadership in the communities where it works. A plan should be in place for programs to gradually be administered by community members where feasible. There must be demonstrable participation of women in leadership and decision making roles.
3. Relevant Program Areas
The programs are driven by the needs of the community, protect and advance their rights and strategically work to address and transform both actual conditions and root causes of poverty through more than one of the following program areas:
- Empower women: programs should strengthen and increase the practice of women's rights, opportunities, self worth, choices, resources, autonomy and power. Programs may work to educate women and girls, eliminate gender-based violence, increase women's participation in civil society and improve women's access to wealth and resources.
- Build local economies: programs should build local economies through fair and equitable practices that include skill building, education and vocational training, income generation, financial planning, savings, credit accompanied with training and support, jobs that pay fair wages and treat workers justly and/or market access.
- Care for the environment: programs should promote people's access, participation and rights in the care of their water, soil, air, seeds, forests, fisheries, livestock and land. Programs may work to catalyze and sustain local action for sustainable agriculture, food and water security/sovereignty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, natural resource management, environmental health, biodiversity and conservation.
4. Sound Practices
The organization is ethical, transparent, well managed and financially sound in its internal practices as evaluated through a participatory process between IDEX and the partnering organization. Organization would not depend solely on IDEX for its sustainability and continues to seek other relevant sources of support.
5. Effective Learning & Monitoring
The organization effectively plans, implements, evaluates and documents its community-driven programs and maintains accountability to the communities it supports. The organization and IDEX are committed to mutual learning and building solidarity.
6. Impact
The organization demonstrates impact on its members, beneficiaries, and communities as well as its impact on long-term social change. The organisation is able to leverage IDEX's financial support to strengthen its work and/or grow its impact.
7. Commitment to Partnership
IDEX and the organization will engage in frequent and responsive communication and dialogue, including consultation on issues in the region; giving each other honest feedback about the fulfillment of roles; participating in fundraising and outreach activities, including travel to the United States and to the partner's country and region and to conferences upon request; supporting in identifying new partners and building their capacity when relevant and sharing learning with each other and with IDEX partners in all regions, when feasible.
8. Non-sectarian
The organization is non-sectarian, does not proselytize and is open to the participation of all people regardless of culture, tribe, caste, class, religion, race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, or physical disability.

It also delays or waters down previous proposals that would have abolished mobile roaming charges in the European Union. La Quadrature du Net further claims that the "heavily edited" document removes any reference to "net neutrality," removes language about protecting against throttling, and other protective language.

The plane crash in Mangalore has once again brought to focus the thriving passport racket based in north Malabar.
The Air India has declared that it will push for maximum possible compensation to the victims of the crash and their relatives. The Civil Aviation Ministry has also announced an interim compensation of Rs.10 lakh to the families of the victims.
Airline sources here said the compensation would be paid only on producing genuine documents that were valid as well. "It is the responsibility of the victims' relatives to prove authenticity to avail themselves of the insurance and other compensation and that will not be an easy procedure," said an official.
Another official asserted that there had been chances of some of the passengers on board possessing fake passport and the possibility of them getting compensation appeared bleak. So far, no one in the ill-fated aircraft had been officially identified as travelling on forged passports.
Thriving business
Experts are of the view that the fake passport racket is a thriving business in north Malabar. They cite large-scale migration of low-educated and underpaid casual labourers from this region to the Gulf, who are easy targets of the racket.
According to Alex M.Varkey, chief of the immigration wing at the Cochin International Airport, the majority of fake passport holders caught at the airport hailed from the northern districts.
The practice of entering into a job even before getting a valid job visa and illegal overstay in the Gulf often lead to this situation, he added.
Since most of the job-seekers are desperate to find a job in the Gulf, they will not wait to secure a valid job contract which enables the sponsor to take hold of their original travel documents on their arrival there and putting them into hazardous work conditions.
Thus, the labourers will be forced to return home on a forged passport, mostly by substituting photographs and return with yet another one, seeking greener pastures in the desert.
"It is the lack of awareness among this section of labourers that these middlemen tend to exploit, who offer them new passports on paying huge sums," he said.

|One of the reasons I am paying for a Montessori school is because I did not expect bullying and abusive behaviour to happen in this school
|Originally posted by K&JsMaMa
This is just plain wrong. This other little girl needs to learn to keep her hands to herself or be sent home.
|Originally posted by K&JsMaMa
Is there anyway you could attend class for a few days to observe this behavior?
|Originally posted by K&JsMaMa
Have you had a meeting with your teacher's supervisor?
|Originally posted by sweetbaby3
Unfortunately, bullying happens everywhere. Montessori, and other private schools are not excluded in this heinous behavior, believe me! I paid dearly for a private school for my youngest, and you wouldnt believe some of the stuff that went on there. Money does not buy class, nor good and decent behavior either.

Is there another 1st grade class she could be moved to??

Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan is eyeing Dundee United midfielder Barry Robson.
The Daily Record says the Geordie club have been alerted by Keegan to the Scotland midfielder's availability and are ready to make a bid to take him south. Celtic are expected to make an offer for Robson but Keegan is ready to up the ante to make him his first signing.
After spending the past three years north of the border, Keegan reckons Robson can make an impact in the Premiership. Speculation about the Tannadice skipper has grown in recent weeks but Keegan's return to Tyneside has brought Robson into the frame for his rebuilding plan.
A source close to the player said: "Barry believes he can play at the highest level and there is a lot of interest in him. There is no definite contact but his ambition is to prove himself among the best.
"He'll have to weigh up his options over the next couple of days but he has never hidden his intention of being able to cut it at the highest level."

The deliberate ritual of single-serving, hand-poured coffee works great for a lazy Sunday. But come Monday, most of us reach for a machine.
Bodum Bistro
Minimalist design. Faster than most drip makers. Carafe stays cool to the touch.
No timer. Nearly 16 inches tall — a tight fit under kitchen cabinets. Better than traditional drip, but not two Benjamins better.
How We Rate
The Bodum Bistro offers artisan-quality brew to the convenience-seeking masses with a shower-head top that sprays the water slowly and evenly. The coffee seeps through a stainless-steel mesh filter and into a 40-ounce carafe that's double walled for insulation. (Aficionados say hot plates add bitterness.)
In our blind taste tests, the benefits were fairly modest: The Bistro beat traditional drip makers for light- and medium-roast coffees, but we couldn't tell the difference with dark roasts.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
He's eligible for Medicare now.

Happy B-Day Pete!!

Proud Member of "The Bengals Lair"
Somebody's gotta win and somebody's gotta lose and I believe in letting the other guy lose. - Pete Rose
Most of us are probably disgusted with Pete Rose, the man.
We will always love Pete Rose, the ballplayer.
"And the fact that watching him pitch is like having someone poop on your soul." FCB on Gary Majewski
I'm like SAVA I will choose to remember Pete Rose, the ballplayer. His running to 1st base when he walked;headfirst slides;the 44 game hitting streak;his return to the Reds in 1984 and breaking the all time hit record. He will always be my favorite ballplayer but not favorite person. Happy Birthday!
Reds Fan Since 1971
One of my most fond baseball memories was seeing Pete get his first hit at Crosley. I had the pleasure of watching Pete the ballplayer from the time he broke in and enjoyed his career. It's a shame that his pesonal life doesn't mirror his professional career, but his baseball career speaks for itself. Thanks for the great baseball memories Pete.
My dad got some glimses of Pete before he hit the majors, in Dayton, I believe. He said it was obvious the guy was destened for greatness.
Great player.
The rest...'nuff said.

Wish he made it to the HOF for his b-day!

Happy birthday Pete!
You were also my favorite player and my hero as a kid, when we didn't know about your weaknesses. I still like your style as a player, Charlie Hustle.
Now that you can collect Social Security maybe we won't see you hawking autographs quite so often on the Vegas strip!
I also hope you make into the Hall soon!
Happy Birthday to the Hit King.
There's that number again...
Happy birthday, Pete! (about an hour late!)
