11am: Minister wants new residents to become citizens
Federal Member for Rankin and Minister for Trade and Competitiveness Dr Craig Emerson made the announcement on the third day of the Logan: City of Choice summit.
He said the federal government had been consulting with members of the Pacific Islander community and found that children coming here from New Zealand were entitled to some benefits but not others.
"We want to encourage them to become Australian citizens,''he said.
"We found if they don't feel part of community, they gang together.
"Also, if we encourage them to formally become citizens, they have access to HECS (higher education loan system now called FEE-HELP).''

A tester for a solid state voltage regulator includes two parallel branches available for interconnection to the two output contacts of the voltage regulator. The two branches both interconnect to the high voltage side of a battery. One of the branches includes a resistor in parallel combination with an indicator bulb. One of the branches includes a normally open switch. For use with automobile alternators having a built-in regulator, the tester can be connected directly to the regulator and test both the regulator and the alternator. When the regulator is independent of the alternator, it can be tested by itself by using actual rotor current available from an alternator used in conjunction with the tester. The on/off condition of the indicator bulb, when the switch and various contact terminals are interconnected, provides an indication of the effective operation of the regulator. A volt meter can be included integrally with the tester to provide output readings of the regulator.

This invention relates to a tester for a voltage regulator and, more particularly, to a tester circuit for testing solid state voltage regulators and alternators as are used in automobiles.
Standard automobiles utilize alternators in conjunction with regulators to charge the automobile battery and provide the necessary energy for the numerous electrical equipment contained within the vehicle. As additional electrical equipment is included in the vehicle, there are frequent problems arising with the electrical circuitry within the vehicle. In many cases, the problem is due to a defective regulator or an electrical problem in the alternator. It is, therefore, desirous to first be able to test the voltage regulator as well as the alternator to determine whether defects exist therein. However, it is difficult to obtain proper test equipment which is portable and inexpensive and which can be used either directly within the vehicle or on the bench in the repair shop. Furthermore, such testing equipment must be easy to use and provide fast checking since prolonged testing may damage a good regulator and alternator. Additionally, since at present, some alternators include built-in solid state regulators, it is necessary to provide a universal tester, which can be utilized on all types of solid state regulators, including those which are built-in to the alternator.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tester for a solid state voltage regulator and alternator which avoids the aforementioned problems of prior art devices.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a tester for a solid state voltage regulator built-in to an alternator.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a tester for a solid state regulator and alternator which reproduces exact on-car conditions for testing the regulator and alternator.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a tester for a solid state voltage regulator and alternator which is easy to operate and quickly provides the determination of the effectiveness of the regulator and alternator.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a tester for a solid state voltage regulator and alternator which is inexpensive to manufacture and provides accurate results.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a tester for a solid state voltage regulator and alternator which utilizes an indicator bulb for determination of the effectiveness of the regulator, thereby providing an easily readable indicator.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will, in part, be pointed out with particularity, and will, in part, become obvious from the following Description of the Invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which form an integral part thereof.
Briefly, the invention provides a tester for a solid state voltage regulator of the type that includes at least two output contacts. The tester circuitry includes two circuit branches, one of which has a parallel combination of a resistance means and an indicator light bulb means. One end of the two circuit branches are interconnected to each other and adapted to be connected to a voltage source. The other ends of the branches are respectively connected to the two output contacts of the voltage regulator. A switch is included in one of the circuit branches. If the regulator is built-in to the alternator, the field of the alternator will be used to provide the voltage for the regulator. If the regulator is independent of the alternator, actual rotor current will be provided from a test field of an alternator, which is sent to the voltage regulator. The tester circuit is enclosed within a housing, which includes floating contacts on the housing to which the regulator is coupled and held in place by clamp arrangement. An additional shorting switch, included to provide additional testing to the regulator, is located in a position on the housing to provide fail safe operation of the tester.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of one embodiment of the invention wherein the regulator is built in to an alternator.
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of another embodiment of the invention wherein the regulator is independent of the alternator.
FIG. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of a third embodiment of the invention providing the facility for testing external voltage control alternators.
FIG. 4 is a perspective illustration of the tester in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
In the various figures of the drawings, like reference characters designate like parts.
Referring now to FIG. 1 there is shown the tester of the present invention 10 contained within a housing 12 and including a first circuit branch 14 and a second circuit branch 16. Circuit branch 16 includes a resistance 18 and parallel with an indicator light bulb 20. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resistance 18 is a 10 ohm resistor. The first and second circuit branches 14 and 16 are interconnected at 22 and coupled to a first terminal 24. The other ends of the first and second circuit branches 14 and 16 are respectively connected to terminals 26 and 28. A switch such as a single pole single throw toggle switch 30, is serially interconnected into one of the circuit branches. In FIG. 1 it is shown serially interconnected in circuit branch 14.
The tester 10 is available for testing a solid state voltage regulator utilized in a vehicle and of the type which is built-in to an alternator, shown generally, at 32. The alternator typically includes two output terminals from the regulator 34 and 36. Additionally, a battery terminal 38 is available and a ground terminal 40 is also included. The battery terminal 24 of the tester can either be connected directly to the vehicle battery or can be connected to the battery terminal 38 of the alternator. The terminals 26 and 28 are interconnected respectively to the output terminals 34 and 36 of the regulator included within the alternator. Such alternators including built-in solid state regulators are presently available from the Delco Corporation.
To test the alternator utilizing the tester as shown in FIG. 1, the terminals are connected, as indicated, and with the switch 30 in an open position, the light 20 must be off. The switch 30 is then closed and the light 20 should go on. With the switch 20 retained in its closed position, the engine or motor is started and the speed is increased. When the speed reaches approximately 700 RPM the indicator bulb should go out and remain out. The engine is then stopped and the light should again go on as the speed of the engine reduces to a value less than 700 RPM. When the switch is opened the light must again go off. Any results other than recited indicates that a problem exists in the alternator or in the regulator included therein. Furthermore, if the light flickers rather than going fully on or fully off, there is also provided an indication that a problem exists.
The above testing procedure will provide indications of the appropriate field continuity of the alternator as well as the field resistance and the field ground. It also provides a check of the internal connections through the regulator and the field, and indicates that the field current switching transistor is turned on. The tester also checks the blocking action of any arc suppression diode, which may be included in the regulator as is well known in the art.
As is well known in the art, included within the alternator is a rectifier and, typically, a diode bridge rectifier. If a defect exists in one of the positive diodes of the rectifier bridge, then there will be no light indication provided or an extremely low glow will exist when the switch is closed. Furthermore, there will be a low charging rate typically, a half a volt below the rated output through the regulator. If a defect exists in one of the negative diodes of the rectifier bridge, then a normal light indication will be provided. However, there will also be a low charging rate and after the test, when the switch is open, the light will be on. If a defective circuit exists in the regulator, the light remains on when the switch is open. During rotation, the light will go out and the charging rate will be normal. Results different than those expected will also indicate the presence of faulty diodes, intermittent connections or open stators and terminals.
A voltmeter 42 can be included between the positive and negative terminals of the battery to detect the charging of the battery and to detect overcharging conditions. Such a voltmeter can be integrally included within the housing of the tester or terminals could be provided from the tester to interconnect to a separate voltmeter unit.
By utilizing a light indicator bulb rather than a meter, it is easier to detect the proper operation of the circuitry. Additionally, the light serves as an indicator whereas meter damping would not, in most cases, indicate the fluctuating voltage. The circuit of FIG. 1 can be utilized either on a test bench with the alternator removed from the vehicle or, alternately, could be used in field testing of the alternator in the vehicle itself. The terminals 26 and 28 can be included into a single plug which is adapted to fit into the alternator and resembles the plug utilized in the vehicle itself. The terminal 24 can be an alligator clip type of plug, which can easily hook onto the battery terminal of the alternator.
Referring now to FIG. 2 there is shown a second embodiment to the present invention for testing a solid state regulator, which is separate from the alternator and can be tested independently thereof. Such regulators are available such as the Delco Remy-type voltage regulator. In this case, the tester reproduces exact on-car conditions to test the voltage regulator and simulates the conditions the regulator would normally see in the vehicle. The voltage regulator, shown generally at 44 includes the two output terminals 46 and 48 and additionally includes three internal contact terminals 50, 52 and 54 to which the alternator field and ground are usually connected. In the present embodiment, the tester includes a ground line 55 which is available to interconnect to terminal 54 of the voltage regulator and has an external terminal connection 56 which is connected to the negative or ground side of the voltage battery. Field lines 58, 60 are available to interconnect to the field contact terminals 50, 52 of the voltage regulator and at the other end thereof coupled to terminal connections 62, 64 which can be connected to the field winding of a bench alternator used for testing. A second switch 66, typically a push button type switch, is interconnected between one of the field lines 60 and the circuit branch 16. The switch 30 is in this embodiment placed in series with the circuit branch 14. To test the regulator utilizing the tester shown in FIG. 2, the battery and ground terminals 24, 56 are connected across the battery being utilized for testing. The field terminals 62, 64 are connected to the field wires of the alternator being used for testing purposes. The regulator is mounted to the tester such that the terminal 54 connects to the ground line 55, and the terminals 50, 52 connect respectively to the field line 58, 60. The terminals 26, 28 are then respectively connected to the output contacts of the voltage regulator 46, 48.
The testing procedure for the voltage regulator is as follows: With the switch 30 in the open position, the indicator light 20 should remain off. If it comes on, the regulator is defective. The switch 30 is then closed and the indicator light should turn on, thereby indicating a proper continuity through the regulator. If the light does not come on, the regulator is defective. The test alternator is then started up at a moderate speed. With a fully charged battery, the amperage should be between 9 and 10 amps. The voltage should then be controlled between approximately 14.4 and 14.6 volts. A voltmeter would be utilized to measure the necessary voltage. Such a voltmeter could be included in the tester as shown in FIG. 1 or alternately could be a separate instrument on the test bench. However, an output of over 15 volts may result in component damage due to overheating in the alternator in which the regulator is normally installed. In addition, a voltage of less than 14.4 may result in a low battery condition on the car in which the regulator is installed. The test alternator is then stopped and the terminal connections 26, 28 removed from the regulator contact 46, 48. The indicator light 20 should then turn off. Switch 66 is then closed. If the indicator light 20 goes on, the regulator is defective.
The foregoing testing procedures should take approximately 30 seconds to complete. Any prolonged testing of the voltage regulator may damage the diodes of the regulator due to overheating.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is again shown a variation in the basic circuitry for use with other types of alternators. While the plugs, 24, 26 would be available for the Delco type voltage regulator which is an integral part of the alternator, additional testing lines 70, 72 with terminals 74, 76 are provided for external voltage controlled alternator field bypass. The line 70, 72 are placed across the parallel combination of the resistor 18 and the indicator light bulb 20.
In utilizing the embodiment of FIG. 3, the indicator light bulb is normally off when the alternator is not running. On the other hand, when the alternator is charging to its maximum amount, the indicator light will turn on very brightly. If the light is on the alternator is not running, there is an indication of a defect in the alternator. On the other hand, if the alternator voltage is at a maximum and the light does not come on, again there is provided an indication that the alternator is defective. If the alternator voltage does not reach its maximum and the light turns on rather dimly, again the alternator is defective. If the alternator produces grinding sounds, as it is running, even though all other indications are normal, there is again an indication that the alternator is defective.
The type of terminals provided at 74, 76 would depend on the type of alternator being utilized for specific types of vehicles. Thus, either male type plugs or female plugs could be utilized or alligator clips could also be provided. With the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the tester can be utilized with Chrysler type vehicles either with one field or with two fields. When the two field type of alternator is utilized, one field must be ground to the alternator. On Ford type alternators, the embodiment of FIG. 3 could also be utilized connecting one of the terminals to the field and one terminal to the stator connection on the alternator.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown one embodiment of the housing retaining the circuitry shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2. The circuitry is included within the case 12 with the switch 30 connected to a toggle switch 80 and the switch 66 shown as a push button switch. The ground line 55 is connected to a floating contact terminal 82 and the field lines 58 and 60 are connected respectively to floating contact terminals 84 and 86. The free floating contact terminals are spring loaded to permit the voltage regulator to be depressed thereon. A clamping device shown generally at 88 includes a fingertip control handle 90 and a pressure arm 92. The battery terminals 24, 56 are shown as alligator type terminals and the field terminals 62, 64 are shown as female type connections. The terminals 26, 28 are connected into a double female plug.
The voltage regulator 44 is shown positioned over the free floating terminals such that contact 54 will interconnect with terminal 82, contact 50 with terminal 84 and contact 52 with terminal 86. The clamping device will then push down onto the voltage regulator to clamp it tight onto the floating contacts. The terminal plugs 26, 28 will then be connected onto the output contacts 46, 48 of the voltage regulator. The testing of the voltage regulator will then proceed in accordance with the above described testing procedure.
It is noted that during the course of the testing, the only time that the switch 66 is utilized is when the plugs, 26, 28 are removed from the voltage regulator. In FIG. 4, it is noted that the switch 66 is positioned on the housing such that when the voltage regulator 44 is clamped onto the floating terminals and the plugs 26, 28 are connecting the contacts 46, 48 of the voltage regulator, the button 66 will be inaccessible since it will be located directly under the plug 26, 28 and slightly spaced therefrom. The only time that the button 66 will be available will be after the plugs 26, 28 are removed from the voltage regulator and the button 66 is then accessible for closure. This provides a fail-safe testing procedure such that the switch 66 will not be depressed while the plugs 26, 28 are connected to the voltage regulator.
It is therefore seen that the above described voltage regulator tester provides a simple, fast and reliable testing procedure for solid state voltage regulators as well as the alternators as are used in vehicles. The device is compact and small enough to be held in the hand. Furthermore, it is available for testing the alternator and solid state regulators whether or not they are integral with the alternator or independent thereof and regardless of the type of vehicle from which the voltage regulator has been removed. Furthermore, the simplicity of the circuitry provides extremely low cost testing equipment. Additionally, when the regulator is available for testing independently of the alternator, the tester provides simulated rotor current to duplicate conditions which the regulator is normally subject to in the vehicle.
There has been described heretofore the best embodiment of the invention presently comtemplated. However, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention.

One of the benefits of this separation, the committee believes, is that it might bring down broadband prices. The committee's advice was delivered in a report published Wednesday; it echoes a widespread belief among BT's competitors, which say broadband prices would likely fall if a third party owned BT's fixed-line network. BT isn't permitted to sell any products at a loss--an attempt to prevent the company undercutting rivals to boost market share.

How do you think that shyness played out during the 2008 season when he was accused of being a prima donna?
A vain and overly sensitive person who is temperamental and difficult to work with: "That Jenkins girl is a good gymnast, but she certainly is a prima donna." In opera, the prima donna is the principal female soloist. From Italian, meaning "first lady."
noun phrase
A person of great and touchy self-esteem; a person who requires to be the sole focus of adulatory attention and who indulges in temperamental displays

"It's a great relief for all of us, for me, Miguel and his family," Sano's agent, Rob Plummer, told ESPNdeportes.com during a telephone interview Saturday.
Sano's visa was approved Friday by the U.S. Consulate in the Dominican Republic, according to Plummer. ...

35 year old man | Peoria, IL, USA | Seeking women 27-42
I am not sure how to say this but I am kind of a big deal
I am a dynamic figure that has been a subject of numerous documentaries. I woo women with my sensuous trombone playing. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines at unflagging speeds. I can cook 30 minute brownies in 20 minutes. I was the first member to have a Members Only jacket. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the areas of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees. I write award winning operas and I manage time efficiently. Occasionally I tread water for three days in a row. I am an expert in Stucco, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru. I once handcuffed a man in less than 13 seconds. Using a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single handedly defended a small village in the Amazon basin from a hoard of furious army ants. I play bluegrass cello. I was scouted by the Atlanta Braves. When I am bored I build large suspension in my yard. I enjoy urban hand gliding. On Wednesday's after work I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I once ate 4 Hungry Man dinners in one sitting. I am an abstract artist, concrete analyst and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy lingerie. I do not perspire. I am a private citizen yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number 9 many times and have the prizes to prove it. I bat 400. My floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I know that exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I sleep once a week and when I do I sleep in a chair. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I waive, I dodge, I frolic and my bills are paid. On weekends to let off steam I participate in full contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary 4 course meals using only mold and a toaster oven. I breed prize winning clams. I have won bull fights in Madrid, cliff diving competitions in Sri Lanka and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played hamlet, performed open heart surgery and spoken with Elvis. Some would say that I have lived a full life but I would disagree because I have not found the women of my dreams….. could you be what I am missing?
Cycling, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
At last count I had 13 passports. Most places I travel I cannot disclose. I am a VIP at Medieval Times. I am hoping to go to Darwin Minnasota this year to see the worlds largest ball of twine.
I enjoy cooking and graduated first in my class at the French Culinary Institute. I invented the walking taco. I once played a reality show about myself. I was the voice behind the group Milli Vanille.
I like making animal figures out of balloons. I enjoy doing magic tricks, Godzilla movies, camping in cemeteries, underwater bowling and site seeing at federal penitentiaries, holding up liquor stores and driving in reverse on the interstate.
I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, War and Peace and David Cooperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dinning room set.

Soup Up Your Attack on Illness
In minutes my soup was ready for the final touch: lemon zest and fresh-squeezed juice.
Altogether, I had a soothing comforting soup in about an hour and enjoyed the aroma and anticipation the whole time. I could even appreciate it despite my stuffy nose, which went away for a while after a bowl of this steamy delicious soup. It's a good thing I made plenty of it as this cold is trying to hang on.
The soup may not cure me, but it is fortification for the battle. Oh, I almost forgot, you don't have to have a cold to enjoy this soup. This is a real warm-you-up soup for a cold winter day or a winter cold. With or without the sniffles, you can make your own version depending on what you have on hand. Chicken broth, either canned or your own, is essential and a must to have on hand throughout the winter. Here, I infused the broth with ginger before adding slices of leek, carrot and peppers. It is finished with bok choy and lemon zest and juice. It is a super sniffle-buster and proof that food can be medicine.
Sherrel's Get Well Soup
1 quart chicken stock or broth
1 large bulb of ginger (About 3 inches x 1 or 1½ inches sliced ¼ to 1/8-inch thick)
1 leek cleaned and sliced including as much of top as possible
1 or 2 carrots sliced
4 or 5 small red peppers
baby bok choy or spinach
Zest and juice of one lemon (Use Meyer lemons when you can get them.)
• Place stock in a large sauce pan or soup kettle. (It is best to use a nonreactive pan such as stainless steel or enamel coated pan for this soup.) Heat over medium heat.
• Prepare ginger and add to heated stock. Cover and let steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Prepare leek, carrots and peppers. Slice leek and place slices in bowl of cold water to let any dirt and debris settle out of slices while ginger steeps in stock.
• After steeping, remove ginger and return stock to heat. Add sliced vegetables, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes until carrots are cooked through. Add halved or quartered and simmer an additional 2 to 3 minutes just until bok choy brightens. Stir in lemon zest and juice. Serve immediately.
• Notes: If using spinach, piping hot soup is enough to cook it sufficiently so pop a handful into your soup bowl, (I use baby spinach leaves) then ladle the hot soup over the top of the leaves. The spinach will be tender crisp and bring some extra special nutrients to your meal. This spinach in the bowl technique works well with bean soups and even chili.

Red Currant Berries

Red currants are available late spring through the early winter months.
Current Facts
Red currants, botanical name Ribes nrubrum, are woody shrubs within the family Grossulariaceae. They are one of over 150 species within the Ribes genus, which also includes Black currants, White currants, and gooseberry species. The word "berry" has two meanings: one based on a botanical classification, the other on the common commercial identification. Red currants, Black currants, and gooseberries are true berries because their seeds are held within the fruit, which is defined as epigynous berries.
Red currant berries are pearl sized, candy apple red and somewhat translucent. Like their their black counterparts, Red currant berries have a taut thin glossy skin that encases a soft pulpy flesh which contains small edible seeds. When the berries' skin is pierced the fruit explodes with bright fruity aromatics and a tart piquant flavor.
Nutritional Value
Red currant berries are known as "superfruits" as they have naturally high antioxidant capacity due to the pigmented polyphenol, cyanidin. Medical research has proven there are medicinal properties of pigmented polyphenols, which are mainly found in the skin and seeds of berries.
Red currants can be eaten fresh, cooked or dried. They can also be frozen for long term preservation and use. Red currants' natural tart flavour and astringency is enhanced with sweetening via sugar, honey, agave nectar, and of course through cooking. Red currants add flavor and texture to sauces, liqueurs, jams, jellies and syrups. Complimentary pairings include baking spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla, cream, clove, citrus fruits, tomatoes, juniper, ginger, strawberries, huckleberries, stone fruit such as peaches and cherries, lemon verbena, game meats, pork, shellfish, grilled steak and herbs such as basil and mint.
All cultivated currant species have Asian and European ancestry. The most significant historical source of cultivation of currants was within Russia during the 11th century when they were grown in monastery gardens, towns and settlements. Red currant plants grow wild and they are cultivated both commercially and domestically for their berries. Red currants grow in many climates within the Northern hemisphere and they are able to flourish in moist to wet, well-drained soil and once established they need little irrigation to survive.

Donati's is a hometown pizzeria where the number one priority is always customer satisfaction. The story of how Donati's came to make the perfect pizza started with founder, Jeff Urso. Jeff's story is much like how every other great American story begins. Jeff worked at several other pizzerias and restaurants to learn the trade and perfect his technique until his recipes were something he felt proud to serve his customers. After achieving the experience he needed to succeed independently, Jeff sought out a location in Highland Park, Illinois with a plan to open his first pizzeria he could call his own. In 2010, Jeff opened the doors of Moccio's pizzeria with $50.00 in the register and the hope his doors would stay open the following day. One year later, Moccio's still had its doors wide open and was a local success. Jeff's drive didn't stop there. He felt his recipes needed to be shared with others in his hometown of Lake Forest, Illinois. Jeff made the tough decision and sold Moccio's in the summer of 2011 to open the 900 square foot pizzeria called Donati's of Lake Forest. Soon, everyone in Lake Forest was hearing about Donati's $1.00 slices and large variety of delicious food choices.
A few months later, Jeff's childhood friend Ray Bozic, also a Lake Forest High School graduate, joined the Dontati's team and the two became partners. With Ray specializing in catering, Donati's continued to grow in both size and location. In 2012, Jeff and Ray dedicated countless hours to renovating and expanding Donati's into a 3,500 square foot pizzeria where customers could sit and enjoy their food while watching a favorite sports team on television. It was clear Donati's had become a staple for Italian food in the community, which only meant it was time to push the envelope even further and expand not in size, but in location. In May 2013, another Lake Forest High School graduate and childhood friend, Tom Platz Jr., joined the team and together opened their second
Donati's pizzeria in Vernon Hills/Mundelein, Illinois. The Vernon Hills, Mundelein and surrounding communities welcomed Donati's, which soon began to provide lunches and dinners for local schools, sports teams, businesses and charities. Now moving toward 2015 the guys are taking their talents to Schaumburg area. Donati's 3 will be located at the intersection of Plum Grove rd and Euclid. Looking back at the history of Donati's, there is one belief that holds true: customer's come first. By striving every day to support this belief, the Donati's team plans to serve customers with the highest quality of food and service for many years to come.

Thursday, January 10, 2008
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA - Republicans will focus on transportation, education, water and health care during the General Assembly session that begins next week, Gov. Sonny Perdue said Wednesday after a tour of the state with GOP legislative leaders."Those are the main things that are on people's minds in Georgia," the governor told reporters at the Capitol after he, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and House Majority Leader Jerry Keen returned from a plane trip to Augusta, Savannah, Albany and Brunswick. Perdue, Cagle and House Speaker Glenn Richardson are due to continue the pre-session swing on Thursday, with stops in Macon, Columbus, Cartersville and Gainesville.Richardson, R-Hiram, couldn't make Wednesday's trip because of a commitment at his law practice. The fly-around was the Republican leaders' way of showing a common front heading into the 2008 session, not a given in light of the feud between Perdue and Richardson that erupted late in last year's session and continued to percolate during the rest of 2007. The governor and speaker continue to disagree most significantly over tax policy, with Richardson pushing a plan to do away with most school property taxes and Perdue preferring to cut taxes for upper-income retirees. "We have a unified agenda," said Cagle, who has stayed out of the dispute between the other two leaders. Indeed, the three endorsed a series of common priorities for the upcoming session, including legislative approval of a statewide water management plan, making further progress toward increasing Georgia's high school graduation rate and funding a statewide trauma care network. Part of the initiative's $80 million to $90 million cost would go toward the trauma care center at financially struggling Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia's largest public hospital. "Trauma care centers are not profit centers," said Keen, R-St. Simons Island. "We need as a state to partner with our health care facilities to do that." The three leaders aren't expected to agree on the specifics of how to address each of the needs they talked about on Wednesday. The governor said he would continue pushing his bill increasing fines for "super speeders" as a way to pay for the trauma care network. Richardson is calling for funding the system with a new vehicle registration fee. Perdue and Cagle talked enthusiastically of the willingness of the state's new transportation commissioner, Gena Abraham, to overhaul the agency's bureaucracy in order to deliver needed highway improvements sooner. But the governor said he would be reluctant to approve a major infusion of new tax money for transportation, as a legislative study committee has been considering, until Abraham completes her task. "I want to see us get our act together before I see us burdening people with more taxes," Perdue said.

Former Oklahoma State guard Fred Gulley has enrolled at Arkansas and plans to play for the Razorbacks. Gulley, a Fayetteville, Ark., native, isn't currently a member of the Arkansas basketball team, but he says he has spoken with coach Mike Anderson and he is waiting to be cleared by the NCAA. Gulley isn't sure whether he would be a walk-on or scholarship player. Gulley, a redshirt sophomore, was granted his transfer from the Cowboys last month after averaging 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

Trainer and Prescription DrugPosted by: Maria C. L.
Category: Behavior Problems
Posted on: May 14, 2001 at 14:37:39
On May 7th I submitted a question entitled "Trainer and Prescription Drug" and I want to thank both Jane and Claudia for their prompt response. You also asked for a follow up, and I would like to do just that if it's OK.
We were recommended a trainer through our vet for my male JRT Freddy because of some aggressive behaviors Freddy displays towards people who come into our home. Also, when he is startled he attacks our female JRT or who ever is closest and that would be me. After submitting a 12 page report on Freddy, we got together with the trainer for our two-hour consultation at our home. In the first 10 minutes she witnessed this crazed behavior he displayed towards her. Freddy attacked her shoes and barked at her in a high pitch. But, as I mentioned before, she at first gave him hot dog bits to pacify him, (positive reinforcement-which worked)but when she walked upstairs, she stopped giving him bits and he would not let her up the stairs. He barked in a high pitch, attacked her shoes and I guess, he was demanding more of those bits.
The trainer recommended right away to prescribe Elevil in order to calm him down so we would be able to train him properly (Freddy did not respond to my commands during his episode until I picked him up). I was not comfortable with drugs, and in my last question, Jane and Claudia both agreed I should look for another trainer.
This is what occurred since then.
On Saturday, May 12th, I brought Freddy to the vet for blood work which was also suggested by the trainer as the first step. When we arrived to the vet, Freddy always demands attention and the technicians give him plenty! He jumps a bit and licks them to death and he is happy. Then we went into a room and the technician asked me the reason for the blood work. I suggested that she speak to the vet since the trainer had spoken to her regarding this process. Later, I found out that the technician could not believe that the blood work was for aggression: "he was licking me!" she said. Also, another technician (there are several of them handling the same dog) took him to another room and not even five minutes later, she took his blood and clipped his nails, which he would not let me do (I am a bit chicken and he picks up on that.) All in all, he was so sweet.
When the vet sat for a short consultation, she first was surprised that we even had any issues with Freddy, because no one in the Hospital has ever witnessed any aggression. However,she agreed that Freddy should take the drug Elevil. She mentioned that years ago, she would not feel comfortable with correcting aggression with drugs, but today, she sees what a positive affect is has and that in the long run, the dog can be trained during these down periods.
During the consultation, Freddy was sitting on my lap and at times he turned his face to me to give me some kisses. I thought he was thirsty so I asked for a bowl of water. The vetenarian turned to open the door, hardly standing from her seat, and Freddy began to bark at her. It seemed, and the vet even said this, that it was as if he was trying to speak, trying to tell her something. He didn't even want water anyway.
My point is that JRT's are very intelligent dogs, and it could be that he is getting frustrated that we don't understand him. I want to help Freddy and I don't quite know if after all these consultations, I should look for another trainer and possibly another vet (although, this veterinarian is very good). My JRT's are both fixed with the recommendation of this vet, and I am glad we did.
I am going to wait until the blood results, but I doubt they will find anything negative. My husband and I were searching for a trainer with JRT experience, but had no such luck. However, yesterday, my neighbor, who is friends with the owner of the Kennel we bring our dogs to, will ask him if he knows of such a trainer. This gentleman had the pleasure of owning two JRT's, and may know a trainer with JRT experiece. In the meantime, Freddy, who gained two pounds, and I will excersice much more and see if that helps curb his behavior.

It's not every day that high school thespians receive pointers from a New York professional performer, especially one who has appeared on Broadway.
But in the area, it happens more frequently than you might think.
Bellevue native and New York-based performer Daniel Neer met with Monroeville students for the first time this past week. He witnessed rehearsals for their current production of "Oklahoma" and gave them pointers. Apparently, the students listened.
A story about Neer's visit was published in Saturday's Norwalk Reflector.

Apply for a derivative residence card
1. Overview
You may be able to apply for a derivative residence card if you're living in the UK. You must be one of the following:
- the primary carer of someone who has the right to live in the UK
- the primary carer's child
- the child of an European Economic Area (EEA) worker if you're at school in the UK
A 'primary carer' means you're someone's main carer - or you share the responsibility with someone else - and you're their family or legal guardian.
You can't apply if you're outside the UK. You can apply for an EEA family permit instead.
How you can use the card
A derivative residence card proves you have the right to live in the UK.
You don't have to get a derivative residence card, but it can:
- help you re-enter the country quicker when you come back from abroad
- show employers you're allowed to work in the UK
- show relevant authorities, your local council for example, that you're allowed to live in the UK
It costs £65 to apply.
How long you can stay
You can continue living in the UK for as long as you're eligible - eg, the person you're caring for will need to still be living in the UK, or in school or university.
What you can't do
You can't count time spent in the UK with a derivative right of residence toward applying for permanent residence in the UK.

A major regeneration scheme and construction of a railway station at Kirkstall is set to forge ahead.
A new riverside community of affordable housing, office space and shopping and leisure facilities is planned for the former Kirkstall Forge site.
The proposals for the new station form part of a wider scheme to transform the historic site into a thriving family-friendly community with more than 1,000 new homes. It's estimated that the development will create around 2,400 new jobs. It will also bring about £400m of private sector investment and an estimated £5m per year in local retail spend.
Terms have been agreed between Leeds City Council, the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP), West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the site owners, GMV Twelve Limited, to deliver the scheme with the final agreement due to be completed shortly.
GMV Twelve is investing £5million in the design and construction of the station, which is facilitated through a loan from the LEP. In addition, the council will spend approximately £10m to construct a new access road from the A65 to the station (including a road and pedestrian bridge over the River Aire) together with a temporary car park for 190 vehicles and a new road junction with traffic lights on the A65.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority's submission for funding for the delivery of the two rail stations, at Kirkstall Forge and Apperley Bridge, was made to the Department of Transport at the start of April. The total scheme cost is £15.97m with over £9 million to be funded by the DfT and the remaining funding coming from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Commercial Estate Group (CEG), the agents for GMV Twelve.
CEG has already invested extensively in demolition and remediation works on the 56-acre former industrial site, and is set to provide a S106 package in excess of £10m for affordable housing, education, transport improvements and local community facilities.
The station and associated infrastructure is scheduled to be ready for use by August 2015. Leeds City Council has agreed to carry out the work necessary to construct the access road as well as a temporary car park. The council's costs, together with the LEP's loan, will be repaid by GMV Twelve over a ten year period.
Councillor Richard Lewis, Leeds City Council's executive member for development and the economy, said:
"Kirkstall Forge is a unique and very special development that offers a rare opportunity to create a thriving new mixed-use community on a brown field site in a lovely historical setting not far from the city centre."
"We've worked very hard to reach an agreement with a number of partners to ensure this major redevelopment gets underway, which we all agree will bring fantastic benefits for the city."
Charles Johnson at CEG, said:
"We are very excited about the prospect of starting the Kirkstall Forge project. The loan provisions we have agreed with the LEP and Leeds City Council will ensure the delivery of the rail station and the wider scheme, which will ultimately deliver a sustainable mixture of new homes, jobs, leisure and community facilities on this major brownfield site."
Roger Marsh, Chair of the LEP, said:
"The LEP recognises the strategic importance of the Kirkstall Forge site to Leeds and the wider City Region boosting both transport links and creating jobs. We are delighted that our support will help to secure the future of the rail halt. This will be on terms which will ensure that there is no additional cost to the tax payer."

We're proud to be part of the wonderful year-round activity that makes Leeds somewhere that young people can feel always welcome, and participate in events that help them grow their skills and knowledge. It was tremendous to work with all our partners including Hyde Park Picture House, Everyman Leeds, Breeze and BAFTA to celebrate the talent that goes into creating films, television and games – and, of course, we wouldn't have been able to do any of it without the help of MediaFish, our young consultants, who work hard all year to plan the festival!"

"This year's festival was another resounding success with some very impressive films being showcased to children and families.

I was delighted to be able to present some of the awards and to meet some extremely talented young people."
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, executive member responsible for leisure and skills said:
"With Leeds being the birthplace of film, it is great that the young people of the city are able to continue that legacy by attending such an impressive event and showcasing their own filmmaking talents at the same event. Events such as the Leeds Young Film Festival and the Golden Owl Awards encourage young people to develop their skills in this exciting and growing sector".

Spectacular Asia exhibition set to open in Leeds
A stunning new gallery showcasing Asian culture in all its wonder and colour will be unveiled at a popular Leeds museum this week.
In what will be the first major gallery refresh at the museum since its opening in 2008, the fantastic sounds, diversity and culture of Asia will be revealed as part of the 'Voices of Asia' Exhibition, which will open its doors to the public on Friday April 18 2014 at Leeds City Museum.
Sitting on the first floor of the museum in the World View Gallery, visitors will have the chance to enjoy and take an unforgettable journey through seven major themes. These include; Faiths & Festivals; Trade & War; Fashion & Style; Music, Dance, Theatre & Film; Eating Out & Eating In and Faith in Focus.
Featuring in all of the themes will be a variety of interesting and diverse objects and pieces taken from the Leeds Museum and Galleries collections and also a wide range of loans from the Asian community, partners and city universities. The displays will include a friendly Chinese New Year tiger puppet, a model of the Golden Temple at Amritsar, a huge Chinese temple gong and two painted marble statues, of the Hindu deities Krishna and Radha, purchased from Leeds Hindu Temple. Hello Kitty makes an appearance and some old fashioned rag dolls from Gujarat. As part of the first Faith in Focus, the many facets of Hinduism will also be showcased and celebrated.
Researched and developed by the Leeds Museum and Galleries team, who have worked closely with a wide range of local community groups and organisations including South Asian Arts UK, Leeds Hindu Mandir, Hamara, Jamyang Buddhist Centre, Leeds Asian Blind Association and Shantona at Leeds Museum and Galleries, 'Voices of Asia' replaces the acclaimed 'Out of Africa' gallery which displayed the city's African collections.
The title 'Voices of Asia' was deliberately chosen to represent the many Asian communities that live within the city, the different languages spoken in the continent, and the passion for contemporary film that will be incorporated in the new displays. The displays, which have been planned in partnership with local Asian community groups as part of an Advisory Network, will stay in the space for around five years, but will change annually to reflect different projects, themes and world faiths.
Leeds City Museum, which has welcomed approximately 1.5 million visitors through its doors since opening in 2008, is a free attraction located in the heart of the city on Millennium Square, just a short 10 minute walk from Leeds Railway Station. With four floors to explore and six galleries, the museum provides a comprehensive collection of objects relating to the history and modern age of both the local area and the wider world.
Also available to view at the museum are a host of other fantastic attractions. These include a new permanent display of the Harrison Clock, which played an important contribution in efforts to accurately determining longitude at sea, and the skeleton of a large, now extinct, flightless Moa bird originally hailing from New Zealand, which recently completed a journey from the Leeds Discovery Centre to its new home. Over 100 spectacular wildlife images taken by keen photographers from Leeds of all ages are also available to view until 17 August as part of the Natural Beauty exhibition.
Full details of the 'Voices of Asia' exhibition can be found at www.leeds.gov.uk/VoicesOfAsia Social media updates will be provided using the #VoicesOfAsia hashtag via Leeds Museums and Galleries' social media accounts on Twitter (www.twitter.com/LeedsMuseums) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/LeedsMuseumsAndGalleries)
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, Leeds City Council's executive member for leisure and skills said:
"We are very excited to be opening the new 'Voices of Asia' display at Leeds City Museum this week, which incorporating seven different themes, promises to be a really fantastic place for all the family to visit and enjoy.
"Our Leeds Museum and Galleries team has worked closely with the local Asian community to capture the unique and sights and sounds of their culture and traditions, and we hope the authenticity of the display will really shine through for visitors."
Antonia Lovelace, curator of world cultures at Leeds Museums and Galleries said:
"As Curator of World Cultures the idea for Voices of Asia has been with me for ages, ever since we opened the World View gallery and I suggested we have Africa up for five years and then switch to Asia.
"Leeds has great Asian collections and as I've been working as curator since 1997, I have grown to know and love them well. In 2008 we did the big Chinese Treasures project with Leeds Chinese community, and since then we have also worked with many other British Asian communities across the city, especially the joint work I've done with the Community History Team.
"I enjoy most the opportunity to work with and learn from the members of these different communities, and also the handling, photography and research work that curators focus on. Last year I also had a grant from the British Council for a study trip to India, and was able to visit museums in five cities, attend the amazing camel fair at Pushkar, walk around the ancient town of Jaisalmer where Leeds' large merchant door comes from, and learn loads about Indian textiles, crafts and faiths."
