2014 budget takes center stage on Capitol Hill
With the release of the White House's 2014 budget proposal last week, budget season on Capitol Hill is in full swing. But while Congress will be debating the merits of the President's budget plan via a flurry of congressional hearings this week, the permanent director's chair at the Office of Management and Budget remains vacant.

House budget plan includes fed pay freeze extension
House Republicans unveiled a stopgap government funding measure Monday. The measure would extend the federal pay freeze and leave in place automatic sequestration cuts but would award the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budgets while other agencies would be frozen at 2012 levels -- and then bear the across-the-board cuts. The current continuing resolution expires March 27.

Tracking the 2013 Budget
Congress has made quick work, so far, of the 12 annual bills setting agency spending for fiscal 2013. Over the past few months, the House Appropriations Committee has approved 10 of the bills, and the full House has OK'd five of them. The full Senate has approved no appropriations bill so far this year, however the committee has reported out eight bills.

Monday November 19, 2012
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has directed Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz to table an emergency motion in the Dewan Rakyat today to express Malaysia's strong condemnation against the latest Israeli attacks on the Palestinians in Gaza.
The Prime Minister said the motion, among others, would:
> Strongly condemn Israeli military attacks in Gaza that have resulted in the loss of lives of Palestinians;
> Urge the United Nations (UN) Security Council to issue a resolution demanding Israel to immediately stop its military aggression;
> Urge the UN to hold an emergency session if the Security Council fails to do so;
> Express the solid support of Malaysians for the struggle of the Palestinians; and
> Forward the resolution to all parliaments, especially the American Congress, and British and European Parliaments.
Najib, who is here for the 21st Asean Summit and other related summit conferences, said he had raised the issue of the attacks against Gaza at the summit yesterday.
Forty people have been killed, including Hamas leader Ahmed Jaberi, while more than 345 others were injured.
Najib said the attacks were inhumane and had violated international laws, international humanitarian laws and the UN Charter.
He also described it as war crimes under the 1949 Geneva Fourth Convention on the protection of civilians in a war.
"Malaysia holds firmly to the stand that there was no strong reason to use unfair, indiscriminate and excessive force on Gaza," he said.

Childhood Music Training Has Lasting Effects In The Brain
April Flowers for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
In 1697, William Congreve wrote, "Music has charms to sooth a savage Beast." According to a new study from Northwestern University, music has charms to improve the brain as well.
The impact of music is a hot topic in research circles, and researchers have found that a little musical training in childhood goes a long way in improving how the brain functions in adulthood, especially in areas of listening and processing sound.
The new study examines for the first time what happens after a child quits playing a musical instrument after only a few years. This is a common occurrence in childhood as their interest wanes.
Adults who as children had one to five years of musical training had enhanced brain responses to complex sounds, making them more effective at pulling out the fundamental frequency of the sound signal when compared to peers without that training.
The lowest frequency in sound, the fundamental frequency crucial for speech and music perception, allows recognition of sounds in complex and noisy auditory environments.
"Thus, musical training as children makes better listeners later in life," said Nina Kraus, the Hugh Knowles Professor of Neurobiology, Physiology and Communication Sciences at Northwestern. "Based on what we already know about the ways that music helps shape the brain, the study suggests that short-term music lessons may enhance lifelong listening and learning."
"A Little Goes a Long Way: How the Adult Brain is Shaped by Musical Training in Childhood" was published in the Aug. 22 edition of the Journal of Neuroscience.
"We help address a question on every parent's mind: 'Will my child benefit if she plays music for a short while but then quits training?'" Kraus said.
Few children progress in formal music lessons past middle or high school, although many engage in group or private lessons at younger ages. But most neuroscientific research to date has been focused on the rare and exceptional music student who continues an active music practice during college, or on the even rarer adult professional musician.
"Our research captures a much larger section of the population with implications for educational policy makers and the development of auditory training programs that can generate long-lasting positive outcomes," Kraus said.
The study methodology involved 45 adults grouped into three like age and IQ groups based on histories of musical instruction. One group had no musical instruction; another had 1 to 5 years; and the other had to 6 to 11 years. Both musically trained groups began instrumental practice around age 9 years, a common age for in-school musical instruction to begin.
The study participants were tested by measuring electrical signals from the auditory brain stem in response to eight complex sounds ranging in pitch. Because the brain signal is a faithful representation of the sound signal, researchers are able to observe how the nervous system captures key elements of the sound and how these elements might be weakened or strengthened in different people with different experiences and abilities.
As predicted, musical training during childhood led to more robust neural processing of sounds later in life.
Earlier research with highly trained musicians and early bilinguals revealed that enhanced brainstem responses to sound are associated with heightened auditory perception, executive function and auditory communication skills.
"From this earlier research, we infer that a few years of music lessons also confer advantages in how one perceives and attends to sounds in everyday communication situations, such as noisy restaurants or rides on the "L," Kraus said. "The way you hear sound today is dictated by the experiences with sound you've had up until today."
"We hope to use this new finding, in combination with past discoveries, to understand the type of education and remediation strategies, such as music classes and auditory-based training that might be most effective in combating the negative impact of poverty," she said.
By understanding the brain's capacity to change and then maintain these changes, the research can inform the development of effective and long-lasting auditory-based educational and rehabilitative programs.

An argument for bringing transgender studies into women's studies departments and an exploration of the impact of trans issues in various aspects of higher education
Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies
Search the full text of this book
edited by Anne Enke
Lambda Literary Award for Best Book in Transgender Nonfiction, 2013
If feminist studies and transgender studies are so intimately connected, why are they not more deeply integrated? Offering multidisciplinary models for this assimilation, the vibrant essays in Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies suggest timely and necessary changes for institutions of higher learning.
Responding to the more visible presence of transgender persons as well as gender theories, the contributing essayists focus on how gender is practiced in academia, health care, social services, and even national border patrols. Working from the premise that transgender is both material and cultural, the contributors address such aspects of the university as administration, sports, curriculum, pedagogy, and the appropriate location for transgender studies.
Combining feminist theory, transgender studies, and activism centered on social diversity and justice, these essays examine how institutions as lived contexts shape everyday life.
"Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies, is a smart, well-written, and appealing book. Enke has defined, explained, and situated the concept of 'transfeminism' vis-ŕ-vis the study of gender. Her book is truly multi-disciplinary and the essays address the challenges that trans students, researchers of transgender subjects, and teachers of trans/feminist theory and activism face. This will be an important book."
"Enke's book is crucial to teaching how gender identity and trans issues have shifted and will continue to push gender studies. There is no other collection on transgender theory and action that has this level of detail and focus on higher education and gender studies-related disciplinary concerns. Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies, examines how institutions as lived contexts shape everyday life and thus the context for thinking, learning and researching trans issues. Enke's introductory essay is superb, and the collection's interdisciplinary range is comprehensive—it covers key topics in gender studies, and it provides theoretical and experiential critiques of the field of gender studies as well. This is an indispensable volume."
"Enke brings together scholarship from a variety of disciplines (e.g., English, economics, law, and sociology) that integrates feminist studies and transgender studies. The volume pushes the conversation about how to develop better theoretical, practical, and pedagogical models that advance more collaboration between the two fields.... Thus, this book is useful for those who need an introduction to feminist and trans theories but can benefit those readers already deeply entrenched in these debates and politics. The inclusion of some unfamiliar trans lexicons after the introduction and before the beginning of the chapters provides unique insights into the significance of addressing linguistic practices as part of social and political practice. The combination of analytical essays and personal reflections provides the platform for greater discussion among scholars and activists in the ongoing struggle against feminist, queer, and trans marginalization and violence. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
"The twelve essays in this volume...address a diversity of academic topics and styles ranging from controversial theory to more pedestrian policy advice. All focus on the radical potential of transgender analysis, rather than seeking to recuperate 'transgender' as an individual identity...[T]his book will be a valuable resource in the university library."
"The collection does an excellent job bringing together multidisciplinary works from academics, educators, and activists to make the case for integration of feminist studies and transgender studies, and to highlight the relevance of transgender analysis for everyone. The diversity of topics, points of view, and writing styles can be seen as...strengths....as it functions to keep the reader engaged in the process of making connections. This volume will appeal to a great variety of readers interested in social justice, diversity, gender, and the far-reaching potential of trans analysis, including upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students, faculty, staff, and community members."
"[D]iverse and innovative... [this] collection offer[s] something for academics and activists who are interested in trans, feminist, or queer approaches, or all of the above, from interdisciplinary social science and humanities perspectives."
"[A] timely and energetically collaborative work.... a rich, diverse collection of twelve essays that consider transfeminism in the Academy and beyond.... [T]his is a volume that presents many voices to underscore the fact that there are many voices demanding to be heard."

- hmm, I don't have any pics. We've since gotten rid of the problem. You might try asking in the "healing the gut" forum. those mamas are always happy to share. ds and dd's were just sort of purply red beneath their eyes, like bags but with a bruisy color. There were also more lines than there should have been. HTH.#1; Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:15:00 GMT
- There have been a few threads about this and some people (including me) posted pictures. I'll see if I can find and bump them for you.#2; Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:16:00 GMT

MADISON, WIS. -- Freshman Tommy Glenn (141 lbs.) sat down with UWBadgers.com before practice on Tuesday. The Inver Grove Heights, Minn., native recently recorded three-straight pins en route to the first place title at the DuHawk Open in Dubuque, Iowa on Saturday.
In the opening round of the Badgers' final open tournament, Glenn registered a pin at 1:19 against Cornell College's Tom Speulda. In the second round he pinned Upper Iowa's Duane Richardson (55 seconds) and captured the first place trophy by slating a fall over Jason Mozlev (William Penn University) at 4:55 in the finals.
Among many other topics, Glenn told UWBadgers.com what it felt like to register three pins in one day and why he chose Wisconsin. A complete transcript of the interview is below.
UWBadgers.com: "How did it feel to record three falls at the DuHawk Open?"
Glenn: "It was great. I had never pinned my way through a college tournament before Saturday, so it was nice to finish a tournament that way."
UWBadgers.com: "What does placing first at a tournament by three pins say about your progress this year?"
Glenn: "In the beginning of the year I was having close matches almost every time I wrestled and lately I've been able to separate myself from my competition. It feels really good to know that I'm making progress."
UWBadgers.com: "As a Minnesota native, why did you choose Wisconsin?"
Glenn: "I wanted to wrestle at the Division I level and Coach Davis was interested in me. It seemed like the perfect fit. It's a really great environment for me to do well and the coaching staff is really good."
UWBadgers.com: "Now that you are done with open tournaments, what are you trying to improve on?"
Glenn: "I am just trying to get bigger and stronger in order to keep adjusting to the college speed. That's my main focus right now."
UWBadgers.com: "What is your favorite aspect of college?"
Glenn: "I have a lot more free time and it's kind of nice because you can start working on different positions and stuff."
UWBadgers.com: "You mentioned that you have a lot of free time now that you are in school, but how do you balance school and wrestling?"
*Glenn: "I haven't really thought the transition has been too hard. My classes are good, so that really helps."
Several other Badgers found success at the DuHawk Open. Redshirt freshman Derrick Borlie (197 lbs.) joined Glenn as Wisconsin's other first place award winner.
Borlie notched three wins in the tournament, including a tough tiebreaker in the finals over teammate Jackson Hein. With Borlie walking away with the title, Hein placed second, while recording a technical fall over Loras College's Stephen Liske in his first match of the day and defeating Coe College's Stuart Maddox by major decision (11-2) in the semifinals.
Also finishing second for the Badgers were freshmen Matt Cavallaris (125 lbs.) and Timmy McCall (184 lbs.), redshirt freshman Cole Tobin (Hwt.).
Tobin finished 3-1 in the tournament including two wins by fall. Tobin's most impressive victory was a 33-second fall over Wheaton College's Jason Geick. Tobin's "fast fall" was the quickest of any Badger in an open tournament this season. Cavallaris finished 2-1 in the tournament including wins over Cornell College's Jordan Ng (1-0) and Coe College's Jimmy Gotto (10-4). McCall also finished 2-1 in the tournament with a win by tech fall (15-0, 5:00) over Dubuque's Joe Shue and a 7-6 decision over Iowa's Jim Fahler.*
Wrapping up the Badgers who placed were freshmen Alex Yde (165 lbs., fifth place), Frank Cousins (174 lbs., third place), Dylan iczkowski (174 lbs., fifth place),

Cristiano Ronaldo hat trick helps Real win as Martin Odegaard debuts
Real Madrid signed off their Primera Division season with a wild 7-3 win over Getafe featuring yet another Cristiano Ronaldo hat trick.
The Portugal forward struck three times before half-time -- giving him a personal-best for goals this season -- but his team still did not have the lead after explosive finishes from Getafe trio Sergio Escudero, Diego Castro and Mehdi Lacen.
Second-half goals from Javier Hernandez, James Rodriguez, Jese and Marcelo earned victory but Real's season will still...
Eibar keep survival hopes alive
Eibar ended a run of six straight defeats in the nick of time as they kept their survival hopes alive by coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Getafe in the Primera Division on Sunday.
Borja netted the equaliser after 36 minutes to cancel out Fredy Hinestroza's opener just three minutes earlier and earn his side their first point since early April.
The draw kept the visitors in the bottom three, but they are only two points from safety and know a win in their final game of the season at home to...
Rayo Vallecano 2-0 Getafe
Getafe remain in danger of being relegated from the Primera Division following their 2-0 defeat at Rayo Vallecano on Monday night.
Pablo Franco's side knew victory would guarantee them another season in the top flight ahead of the final two rounds of matches but they were undone by a goal in each half as Rayo climbed above David Moyes' Real Sociedad into 11th place.
Getafe's Uruguayan defender Emiliano Velazquez put through his own net in the 28th minute before Rayo's Venezuelan substitute Miku settled...

From the many people with donations to all the hard workers - I hesitate to mention you one by one because I don't want to leave anyone out.We had so many wonderful donations for our raffle baskets & our bake sale - and I can't even begin to thank the many people that patiently waited (hours) for a haircut!
On April 8 and 9, General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker testified before Congress about the current political and security situation in Iraq. According to both officials, progress in Iraq is significant, but reversible. As a senior Army commander told me recently, "We simply cannot walk out of the Middle East now."
The past five years or so have been very difficult watching from the sidelines as my father's name is tarnished in newsprint and court proceedings. My father's voice was silenced allowing for no comment because of legalities. Though I can't speak on his behalf, I feel it is imperative that those in Henry County understand the positive contribution and sacrifice he brought to this small community.
Why is it that Henry County can't attract new businesses, so there can be local jobs for local people?
According to the Ky Deskbook of Economic Statistics, 59 percent of Henry County's workforce is employed out of the county, and 46.3 percent of them travel more than 30 minutes to get to their job destinations.
The cost of living is going up daily, due largely to the gas crisis. The spending power of a paycheck is dwindling, but just how much of it is going to the increased cost of just getting to work?
During the Eminence City Council meeting Monday night, two city council members were lauded for sticking to their guns and their original votes on the issue of the city's swimming pool.
They should be commended. Sticking to one's beliefs in the face of a room full of folks with opinions on both sides of the issue is an admirable attitude.
This pool issue has been something that our family and community has now heard of and been listening to for quite some time now. During the last city elections for Mayor and Council members, we had quite a few prospects, and current members stop by our home. The only constant issue that any of them talked about, was the pool. They all mentioned there was a great need for something for our young people to do in this city, let alone county.
It is so easy to forget just how much a pool is needed when the temp outside is so cold. But as the high heat of the summer kicks in, you will remember just why it was there. With gas prices as high as they are, people are tending to stay closer to home. Where will we go?

I was looking for just a neutral light brown hair color and went with this one. Now I am nervous, What does ash mean, I don't want any reddish tones in my hair.
you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, well you just might find, that you get what you need...The Rolling Stones
Ashy colors are typically for people with cool skin coloring while warm hair colors are for people with warm coloring. If you have yellow skin (as opposd to pink), you might want to look for a color that's warm without being red. If you have a pink skin tone, the ashy will probably work for you.
I know, a lot of probablys, mights and ifs. It's hard to give my opinion without seeing you.
As I understand it, ash tones will keep the red out of your hair...I frequently will use light ash brown in the summer when my hair has been bleached by the sun...
Revlon Colorsilk has a great ash brown that I've used and liked. If you've never done this color, you might want to ask your stylist for the first go around.
Thanks girls, that was the info I was looking for. I do have pink undertones to my skin, but I do easily tan in the summer. So may have to switch up then. And yes, I did buy Revlon Color Silk based on the reviews on that brand. I love this board. Thanks again for replying, will be doing it this morning.
Ash has no red it is just a softer shade. I guess that's the best way to put it. i been using temporary semi-permanent color lately. its easier and better for the hair. permanent color fades anyway so might as well use the temporsry

I had been using a temporary hair dye but it just seem to fade too fast and I don't wash my hair every day. That's why I decided to try a permanent color which I hope will last a little longer as long as I like the color. We'll see. My daughter is my biggest critic and will let me know haha.

The U.S. press corps has embraced the integrity of the International Atomic Energy Agency as central to the case for bombing Iran. But WikiLeaks documents revealed how the IAEA's new leader is a pawn of the West, and Gareth Porter explains at Inter Press Service how the IAEA has escalated the confrontation with Iran.

Israel Killing Wrong Iranian Scientists?
A suspected Israeli-sponsored assassination campaign has claimed the lives of five Iranian scientists supposedly linked to the country's nuclear program. But the evidence implicating some scientists in nuclear research may be as murky as the suspicions that a weapons program even exists, writes Gareth Porter at Truthout.
Satellite Photos of Iran Doubted
Before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Secretary of State Colin Powell cited satellite photos allegedly revealing WMD stockpiles, but the proof proved bogus. Now, similar claims are justifying a war with Iran, but the "evidence" again is speculative at best, Gareth Porter writes for the Inter Press Service.
Who's Behind Anti-Israel Bomb Plots?
Last month, when three bomb plots surfaced in India, Thailand and Georgia — all with apparent Israeli targets — the immediate assumption was that Iran was seeking revenge for Israeli-connected assassinations of Iranian scientists. But new evidence suggests another possibility, Gareth Porter reports for AlJazeera.
Tempest over an Iran Military Site
Iran's refusal to grant U.N. inspectors access to the Parchin military facility is churning up new suspicions about a concealed nuclear weapons program, but the impasse can be explained as the frustration by Iran over how previous inspections of the site have been treated, Gareth Porter writes for Inter Press Service.
'Night Raids' Stall Afghan War Talks
The Obama administration's hopes for a negotiated end to the Afghan War are hung up on a dispute with the Karzai government over the future use of night raids by U.S. Special Forces, a tactic very unpopular with Afghans, as Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.
Obama's Chess Match with Israel/Iran
Israel, Iran and the Obama administration are engaged in a three-dimensional chess match that could end in a destructive war or a negotiated agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Much of the maneuvering has occurred through public hints and private feints, Gareth Porter reports for AlJazeera.
Bleak Report on the Afghan War
Gen. David Petraeus and other U.S. commanders have touted supposed progress in the Afghan War to justify the escalation that they demanded more than two years ago, but a new report by an in-the-field Army officer found a less sanguine reality, as Gareth Porter reported for Inter Press Service.
A Dangerous Game on Iran
The Obama administration is engaged in complex diplomacy over Israel's possible attack on Iran, trying simultaneously to restrain Israel and use its military threat to pressure Iran on its nuclear program. But some maneuvers may work at cross purposes, Gareth Porter writes for Inter Press Service.
Obama to Israel: No US War on Iran
President Obama is caught in a dilemma, how to dissuade Israel from going to war with Iran without alienating pro-Israeli voters in November. So, the Obama administration has told Israel that the U.S. won't support an attack on Iran but has done so quietly, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.

The Dragon Year was fiery for the Malaysian Bar. Will the Year of the Snake, an election year to boot, be hotter still?
TOOTHLESS cat", "anti-government", "stupid" the Malaysian Bar is no stranger to brickbats, having been at the receiving end since its inception some 66 years ago. However, the criticisms appeared to be more relentless last year, with "opposition party", "pro-gay" and "anti-islam", among others, being hurled at it.
Its outgoing president Lim Chee Wee not only had his manhood challenged but also received death threats. At one point, an alternative Bar was even mooted. "Why? I sometimes feel like (we are) a pariah!" laughs Lim, whose term as the Bar Council chief will end later this month.
So no one was more surprised than Lim when the accolades came in as 2012 drew to a close. First, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak acknowledged at the International Malaysian Law Conference (IMLC) the Bar's role as "an important and equal partner in the rule of law and the administration of justice".
Then the United Nations in Malaysia picked them as the UN Malaysia Organisation of the Year. The award recognises the contributions of organisations in the country in promoting and protecting human rights (particularly as embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), social justice and equality.
As cited by the UN resident coordinator Kamal Malhotra, the Malaysian Bar has shown "unfailing commitment in standing up and unwavering zeal" in speaking out against abuse of power and upholding justice.
Coming not too long after the censure from various factions, the pats on the back have encouraged the Bar to persist in its work, says Lim, adding that the Bar will continue to be committed to raising various issues of public interest, strengthening their ties with other stakeholders in the administration of justice, and taking substantial measures to improve the Bar.
Still, one challenge remains public misconception.
A factor behind this, he feels, is a lack of awareness of the Bar's role.
"(Certain) people attack the Bar because they do not want our message to get out there, because it is a message from an independent body and from lawyers," he opines.
Then there are those who label them as street rabble-rousers.
"What they don't realise is we do more advocacy with our mouths than our feet. I mean, we try to talk through issues (rather) than walk (to protest)," Lim muses.
Their biggest challenge, he adds, is to "persuade" the government on legal and human rights matters.
"It is a true challenge for us to formulate our arguments to persuade the government. It is an act of persuasion. It is easy to criticise but it is more difficult to persuade for change."
He hopes the Malaysian public can read or hear what the Bar says, and think for themselves whether they agree or not.
"The role we play in society is to give an independent, objective view from the legal perspective. If they read and listen to what we say, they will see that all our statements and comments are grounded in the law either domestic law or international law," Lim says.
What is happening in a public debate here is that it is often divided into two: the government view and the opposition view, he explains further. The public needs an independent view, and this is where the Bar comes in. "Whenever there is a debate on a particular issue that involves a legal question who do you think (if not the Bar) should step in to enlighten people and say to them: actually this is what the law is, or what the law should be or what it must never be."
Hate them or love them, the Bar has indeed been vocally advocating various matters of public interest including freedom of assembly, moral policing, the Lynas issue, mistreatment of orang asli, new security laws, mandatory sentencing and death penalty.
The Malaysian Bar, Lim emphasises, is apolitical. "We are not pro-opposition or pro-government."
He concedes that the Bar has often been accused of interfering in politics or being political, but people need to look at what politics means, he says. "It means activities associated with the governance of a country. This includes its laws, and how they are applied, including by enforcement agencies such as the police.
"On this wide definition then, the Bar Council is entitled to be involved in politics."
However, when politics is defined in the narrow sense of activities of political parties, the Bar would stay out, unless there is a legal issue.
"Our message is consistent. We are pro-justice and anti-injustice," Lim stresses.
However, he is expecting the jibes for him and other outspoken lawyers to make their stand in the coming general election.
"Why must it be a requirement for anyone who criticises the government to stand in elections? For instance, I am the president of the Bar surely it's enough legitimacy for me to have a voice and speak up when there is an abuse of power by the government? And everybody has a right to criticise the government," he says.
In fact, he jokes, he is actually a conservative "scaredy cat" but is able to raise his voice due to the Bar's set designation in society.
One thing he and his fellow Malaysian Bar members will be doing during the polls is to follow the process closely.
The Bar also has a wish list for the winners "Part Two" of the political transformation programme announced by Najib on Malaysia Day in 2011.
Malaysia needs to continue the steps to further law reform and strengthen institutions, as well as establish new ones, to forge ahead towards a just, equitable and democratic Malaysia, he says, and urges Najib to set up a Law Reform Commission.
This Commission will ensure that law reform is inclusive if it is tasked with a wide and effective consultation process and is staffed by top legal talent including from the Attorney-General's Chambers, Lim explains.
For now, he lauds the Government for listening to the Bar's call for a greater access to justice for the people. An additional RM20mil was allocated in the 2013 budget to the National Legal Aid Foundation (NLAF), which was set up in April last year.
The establishment of the NLAF has given real meaning to article 5(3) of the Federal Constitution, which states that when a person is arrested, he "shall be allowed to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner of his choice", Lim explains.
The programme has expanded with some 985 lawyers trained to provide legal assistance while more than 15,000 Malaysians to date have received legal aid in one form or another.
Lim believes 2013 will be an even more eventful year for the Bar, not just because of the much-anticipated polls. Various programmes have been planned to strengthen the rule of law as well as enhance the legal profession. One is the liberalisation of the legal profession with amendments to the Legal Profession Act that permit the entry of licensed foreign lawyers into Malaysia.
The Bar has been in discussions with various foreign law firms and lawyers, some with international expertise and reach, who are interested in having their boots on Malaysian soil. It is also working to promote Malaysia as an investment and dispute resolution centre which will have a direct impact on the profession. For one, it would hike up salaries since foreign law firms will pay top money for top talent while local law firms will be pressured to up their game to compete with the foreign law firms.
But "the Malaysian legal system, like the Malaysian economy, has to adapt and lift its standards to be competitive in the global legal market. Otherwise, it can never claim to be a serious contender in terms of having a world-class Judiciary," he says.
This move will be in tandem with the increase in intensive training and enhancement of local courses for local talents. Along with the Legal Profession Qualifying Board, the Bar will also work with local law schools to improve legal education here.
It will also continue to "persuade" the Government to ratify international human rights treaties/conventions, specifically, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

Live life to the fullest!!
A little about myself...I love working with kids. That's why I choose the profession I did. I am over the bar & club scene. I enjoy spending time with my family, I am very family oriented. I enjoy going out with my friends sometimes as well. I'll be honest I don't really know to much about sports. However, I would like to get more into sports so if my mate should explain some of it to me that would be great. I do watch the Superbowl every year. I do enjoy trying new things, within in reason. I believe that life sometimes places obstacles in front of you, but you could overcome anything if you want. It may be hard, long, and frustrating but worth it in the end. I do enjoy laughing and I try to do that as often as possible; but there are times when you do have to be serious. I work hard at achieving any goals I set for myself. I am looking for my other half, someone to settle down with and start a family or add to one. I'm looking for someone who: is confident in themselves but not over the top confident, loves children, believes in a 50/50 relationship, will love me for me and isn't looking to change me (I would do the same), is family oriented, has dreams and is following them. Could you be the one? If so send me a message, I like to hear from you!

Some other viewpoint
I was born in Texas & only lived there for a short period of time. I have recently been back to Texas, and I would have to say that is my favorite place. But I do enjoy visiting other places as well.
I like all types of music and TV shows.
I enloy going to the movies, bowling, or the beach. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends on my days off.

Eric Dawson drops 50 points to lead Meralco to a crucial win over ROS
More News from Mark Giongco
MANILA, Philippines—Eric Dawson scored 50 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as Meralco outlasted Rain or Shine, 118-116, in overtime Wednesday in the PBA Commissioner's Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.
The Bolts, who wrapped up their elimination round campaign with a 7-7 record, avoided a twice-to-beat disadvantage in the quarterfinals.
"I think it's an important win for us because it primes ourselves for an opportunity at a best-of-three and tonight's game it was Eric Dawson who really towed us to victory with 50 points," said Meralco head coach Ryan Gregorio, whose squad arranged a quarterfinals date with San Mig Coffee.
It was Dawson's second game with 50 points or more after he unleashed 57 points against Petron Blaze a few weeks ago.
Mac Cardona added 19 points, including six of Meralco's eight points in extra session. Cardona made back-to-back baskets to open up overtime as the Bolts took a 114-110 lead.
Paul Lee responded with a three before Gabe Norwood put the no.2 Elasto Painters, who set up a clash with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in the quarters owning a twice-to-beat edge, ahead by one, 115-114, with 2:57 left.
Dawson reached the 50-point plateau after scoring off the inbound play over Beau Belga that gave the lead back to Meralco, 116-115, with only 1:35 remaining.
Belga had the last crack at the basket on a three but it hit the front iron. Bruno Sundov had 31 points, 19 rebounds, but was accounted for seven of Rain or Shine's 22 turnovers.

Local greyhound rescue group hopes recent Petco grant will allow it to expand — and save more dogs
Besides being used to retrieve rescued dogs, the Greyhound Connection van also will take the canines to events such as educational presentations at schools and street fairs.
So of all the breeds of all the dogs in all the world, why focus on greyhounds?
"They're gentle, they're sweet, they're very special dogs," Lacey said.
They're also somewhat easy to care for. The second-fastest land animals on Earth — slower only than the cheetah — greyhounds can sleep up to 18 or 20 hours a day and have earned the nickname of "45-mph couch potatoes." They also can be great with kids, according to rescue organizations.
Prospective owners must, however, have enclosed yards, as greyhounds can jet away if unleashed. And the dogs need to be indoor dogs because they have only a thin coat of hair and not much body fat.
In short, they're homebodies.
"Once you've had a greyhound, you find you can't live without one because of their nature," Lacey said.

Usi Core Speaker Series Set
By MARK WILSON Courier & Press staff writer 464-7417 or email@example.com
Presidential politics, Cuban jazz, physics and the question of evolution versus intelligent design might seem disconnected, but there is a common theme.
They are all part of the University of Southern Indiana's upcoming Core Curriculum Speaker Series. The series will feature lectures by Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard; physicist, English professor and author Alan Lightman; and Brown University biology professor Kenneth R. Miller.
There also will be a concert by Grammy-winning jazz musician Paquito D'Rivera and a large-screen outdoor viewing of the Sept. 26 presidential debate between senators John McCain and Barack Obama.
The lectures and events are open to the public as well as students, said Mark Krahling, USI's core curriculum director.
This year's speakers will continue a recent shift in the series' emphasis toward attracting more nationally recognized participants to speak
about timely issues.
With the upcoming presidential election in November, several of the series events will focus on that theme. Last year, university officials combined their resources to offer one single, large event – a dual presentation by nationally known columnists and political commentators Mark Shields and William Kristol – that was well- attended by both students and the public.
"I see this as an important part of what universities can be doing for the public," Krahling said.
Planned events include:
n Sept. 17, Constitution Day Lecture: "Presidential Elections as a Test of the Constitution," by Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard, 7 p.m. Kleymeyer Auditorium, Liberal Arts Center
n Sept. 26, Debate-A-Palooza: USI will host the event as part of the national Debate Watch program sponsored by the Commission for Presidential Debates. The outdoor viewing will be in the Quadrangle, using two jumbo screens. Participants are invited to bring blankets, chairs and picnic items. The event begins at 6 p.m. with live music. The debate begins at 8. If it rains, the event will be in the Health Professions Center.
n Oct. 10, Performance by Paquito D'Rivera: The Havana, Cuba, native is a multiple Grammy-winning jazz musician and composer who plays clarinet and saxophone. The performance, at 2 p.m. in Forum I, Wright Administration Building, is presented in cooperation with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra.
n Oct. 23, Lecture by Alan Lightman: The MIT physicist, English professor and author of "Einstein's Dreams" is a featured author in "This I Believe," used in this year's USI Bonding Through Books and Evansville's One Book One Community programs. Program begins at 7 p.m. in Carter Hall, University Center.
n Feb. 17, Lecture by Kenneth R. Miller: In 2005, Miller, professor of biology at Brown University, testified in Kitzmiller et al vs. Dover (Pennsylvania) Area School District on the question of whether intelligent design is a religious belief or a scientific theory.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.
Nourished by Andean snowmelt, the glacier constantly grows even as it spawns icebergs the size of apartment buildings into a frigid lake, maintaining a nearly perfect equilibrium since measurements began more than a century ago.
"We're not sure why this happens," said Andres Rivera, a glacialist with the Center for Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile. "But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change."
Viewed at a safe distance on cruise boats or the wooden observation deck just beyond the glacier's leading edge, Perito Moreno's jagged surface radiates a brilliant white in the strong Patagonian sun. Submerged sections glow deep blue.
And when the wind blows in a cloud cover, the 3-mile-wide (5 kilometer) glacier seems to glow from within as the surrounding mountains and water turn a meditative gray.
Every few years, Perito Moreno expands enough to touch a point of land across Lake Argentina, cutting the nation's largest freshwater lake in half and forming an ice dam as it presses against the shore.
The water on one side of the dam surges against the glacier, up to 200 feet (60 meters) above lake level, until it breaks the ice wall with a thunderous crash, drowning the applause of hundreds of tourists.
"It's like a massive building falling all of the sudden," said park ranger Javier D'Angelo, who experienced the rupture in 2008 and 1998.
The rupture is a reminder that while Perito Moreno appears to be a vast, 19-mile-long (30 kilometer) frozen river, it's a dynamic icescape that moves and cracks unexpectedly.
"The glacier has a lot of life," said Luli Gavina, who leads mini-treks across the glacier's snow fields.

Important This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/ )Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
The Windows Trace Session Manager service does not start in the timeout value that is specified by Service Control Manager (SCM). By default, the timeout value is 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
Additionally, the system event log indicates this timeout failure by a log entry that is similar to the following: This problem becomes apparent when the installation of Microsoft Enterprise Instrumentation Framework (EIF) is not completed. This problem may also become apparent during the computer startup.
To work around this problem, increase the default timeout value for the service control manager in the registry.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To increase the timeout value in the registry, follow these steps:
More information
After you increase the ServicesPipeTimeout value in the registry, the service control manager waits for the services to use the whole ServicesPipeTimeout value before the system event log reports that the program did not start.
For services that depend on the Windows Trace Session Manager service and that require several minutes of startup, a value of 60 seconds may not be sufficient time. Therefore, increase the ServicesPipeTimeout value appropriately. This increased value will give all the dependent services sufficient time to start.
