Conclusion of Saly Escale Well Project – Senegal
This project was to build a new well to provide potable water for community use, and also yield water for the irrigation of the community garden.
To read Matthew's final report in its entirety, CLICK HERE. It makes great reading, providing an insight into the process, incorporating valuable sociological observations, and revealing the tremendous benefits that the project will yield for the community.
Here is a summary of the key points taken from the final report:
Community leaders determined that a new well was a primary need for the village. Because of the growth of Saly Escale, most of the compounds now sit a great distance from the only other well in the community. A large amount of time was being spent by girls and women to carry basins of water to their homes in the mornings and early evenings, time which could be better spent.
In addition, a year-round gardening program could not be sustained without obtaining a nearby source of water for irrigation.
The project became a reality when a commitment for funding was obtained. Shortly thereafter, in December, 2010, the funding was received and the project was underway with the purchase of supplies in Koungheul, Saly Escale's nearest large town. In addition to the requisite pickaxes, shovels, buckets, and iron-working tools, we ordered four tons of cement that would line the well's internal walls as well as the iron reinforcement rods that would be fashioned to form the well's metal "skeleton." Both sets of materials were purchased in quantities that would insure uninterrupted construction to a depth of 20 meters, should the water table have sunk that low by the height of the drought season in April and May.
The next step was to determine the well's exact location, utilizing the services of a descendent of a long line of "water seekers," people reputedly capable of discovering the path of least resistance to the best underground water sources.
Ground was broken on 6 February 2011 by the master digger and a team of three associate diggers. They dug with pickaxes and shovels and without the aid of machines. Knowing the depth of the village's existing well, we estimated the depth of the water table to be 16 meters.
On 24 March 2010 the diggers struck water at a depth of 12 meters, but, due to a sudden onset of stomach illness, the master digger was unable to continue digging the remaining few meters that would insure a reliable water source during both rainy and drought seasons in which the water table tends to fluctuate dramatically.
Returning to work in late April (the height of the drought season), the master digger finally dug the well to its current depth and the above-ground rim was constructed.
Immediately thereafter, the concrete "skirt" was fashioned at its base. The skirt serves to direct outside water and pollutants away from the well, thus preventing contamination.
On 26 April 2011, my home stay host, my work partner, and I met with the master digger one final time to measure the well's depth (15.5 m), verify contract compliance, and provide full and final payment.
We extend our deep gratitude to Matthew for completing this project, and again wish to thank The Montgomery College Office of Study and Travel Abroad, and the students of Montgomery College for providing the funding.
Jaidee Daycare Center Flood Remediation and Water Project – Thailand
Jaidee Daycare accommodates 60 students, ages 2-4. The building experiences two significant problems, namely flooding during the rainy season and the poor quality of water for the consumption of students and staff. This project, under the direction of Peace Corps Volunteer Heidi Mahoney, addresses both problems.
The daycare building itself sits on a lowland silt area. Often during the monsoon rainy season, rain pours down in short, yet heavy showers. During these torrential rains, water mixed with mud, silt, and various ground residue, gushes into the daycare building. This causes a huge mess that often makes it necessary to close the building, and results in highly unhygienic conditions and increased susceptibility to water-borne disease.
The first part of this project addresses the flooding issue by constructing a new drainage system and elevating common ground around the daycare with concrete beams.
Two diagonal gutters starting at the roof will funnel rainwater into a drain connected to the village drainage system. In addition, concrete beams affixed around the structure will prevent water from entering the building.
Currently, there is no running water in the building, other than in the bathrooms. Most importantly, the water quality is not guaranteed. Water for personal use is accessed from local wells filled with unsanitary ground water, which is often unsuitable for even hand-washing and brushing teeth.
The daycare teachers have to purchase large jugs of drinking water to stock the daycare. Also, there are no sinks for dish washing or for children to wash their hands before and after meals and after using the restroom.
The second part of this project is for the purchase of a water purification tank connected to a common water canteen as well as the installation of sinks with running water.
Project funds will be used for the tank and PVC supply and drainage piping. Labor will be provided by the community.
In addition to the day care teachers and children, approximately 1,452 local villagers will be able to access this water source for drinking and household use.
This project has the support of teachers, parents, and local administrators who recognize its importance and have pledged the necessary resources. This will ensure the sustainability of the project far into the future.
This project has now been fully funded through the generosity of The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust as a part of their Clean Water Projects initiative.
We encourage others to continue to donate using the Donate button below, and we will notify Heidi of your donation. Additional funds will be used to fund the next project by the PCV and/or other projects in the country of service.

Conclusion of Gregorio Ferro-Cement Tank and Rainwater Catchment Project – Brazil
The project was to build a rainwater catchment system and ferro-cement tank in the village of Gregório.
Rosângela reports:
It took 5 months to complete the project, under the direct supervision of Professor Manuela, now elected head of the Association and representative of the Instituto Diamante Verde in Gregório.
This year something really amazing happened in Queimadas/Gregório village. During the summer season 2010/2011, the news showed the tragic scene of 22 villages facing water shortages due to a lack of rain. However, due to the adoption of a program to build ferro-cement tanks, Queimadas had the capacity to capture sufficient rainwater to fulfill the basic consumption needs of the communities that make up the municipality.
The pictures show the proven construction techniques that resulted in the completion of the collection and storage system in Quemadas. As a result, 580 people now have an adequate water supply.
The completion of this project makes possible additional development efforts, under the direction of IDV, for the benefit of the community. These include a tree nursery and erosion control program as well as a gardening program to grow organic vegetables, legumes and fruits for the consumption of the students. Finally, moringa trees are being planted around the natural water source. This not only prevents evaporation but also produces leaves and other components with significant nutritional benefit.
We wish to extend our thanks to Rosângela for carrying out this great project, and creating a model to follow for similar projects in the municipality.
We again wish to thank The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding for the project.

Conclusion of Women's Center – Morocco
This project was to participate in the construction of a women's center by providing for the water and sanitation portions of the construction.
Erin reports:
Of the four objectives identified for the Talbrjte Community Center, three have been reached. First, the center was constructed. Construction took place between December 2009 and April 2010. While rain and other undesirable weather slowed the pace of construction, the work was still completed in April.
Construction included the completion of the kitchen sink and bathrooms, funded by Water Charity. The local association decided to add some elements to the center, including tile floors and extra access to water, which is currently taking place.
The second objective of the center, obtaining equipment and supplies, has only been partially completed. The health room is fully equipped and functioning in a sustainable way. Supplies from the Ministry of Health were delivered to the center in order to prepare for the nurse and midwife's visits. Unfortunately, due to bureaucratic red tape, the machines and supplies for the literacy and handicraft rooms have not been delivered. These supplies will come from the Ministry of Social Development as soon as they are sent from Rabat.
The third objective, to staff the center, is also complete. A local trained girl is ready to begin handicraft lessons upon the delivery of the equipment. A local educated girl is ready to begin literacy lessons upon the delivery of the literacy room equipment. The nurse and midwife have begun their bi-weekly visits to the health room of the women's center.
The final objective of the center was completed on April 22, 2010. The Talbrjte Women's Center had its inauguration in the presence of the women and girls of the community as well as men, local government officials, and Peace Corps staff.
While the community is both satisfied and feels that the goals have been reached, they will be even more satisfied once all of the equipment has been delivered.
Erin reports on the impact of the project on the community, based on discussions with va
World Water Day 2011
(1) Write or email your representatives and let them know that you support the Universal Human Right to Water.
(2) Donate to one of our projects, adopt a project from our Appropriate Projects initiative, or contribute directly to Water Charity to help us with outreach and publicity.
This is an important issue, and Water Charity is proud to be at the forefront of the water movement. Any awareness you can bring to your local community on this issue is valuable beyond measure. Let your friends and family know that:
• 80% of all diseases are waterborne
• 1 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water
• Fully half of all the worlds hospital beds are filled by someone suffering from a water-related illness
• Lack of clean drinking water kills more people per year than all forms of violence put together... including war.
Together we can put an end to this tragedy and stop all this needless human suffering. Remember that the human body is about 2/3rds water. We ARE water.
Parina Community Spring Project – Peru
The project is being implemented under the direction of Kristen Gunther, graduate student at the Loma Linda University School of Public Health and Suma Marka, a Peruvian NGO operating out of Puno. To read the full details about the project, CLICK HERE.
The community of Parina, located in the rural southeast region of the Andes Mountains, adjacent to Lake Titicaca, currently struggles to access clean water sources. Parina is a small rural community situated approximately 12,500 feet above sea level and located outside the regional capital of Puno. Due to the rural location of Parina, community members lack access to clean water sources and struggle to obtain health-related services.
Parina primarily obtains its drinking water from unprotected springs contaminated by human and animal waste, and unmaintained wells built by the government. The primary spring is a location in which the community obtains drinking and cooking water and takes their animals to drink. While water from this spring is initially pure and potable, environmental contamination and lack of maintenance leads to unclean drinking water in the spring.
The structure of this spring is not ideal for preventing contamination of ground water and perpetuates water-related diseases. Elevated levels of E. coli and fecal coliforms have been consistently found in water from the spring. These indicator microbes show bacterial contamination likely to lead to gastrointestinal problems and diarrhea in Parina, especially among vulnerable children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
The project will start with the purchase of construction materials and equipment in the nearby city of Puno, and their transport by truck to Parina. Community members will provide certain materials that they currently have within the community, such as wood for the spring box frame and construction tools.
A local professional who has experience in constructing improved springs and wells will be hired to oversee the construction process of the catchment box. Community members in Parina will provide the labor.
To initiate construction the current spring will be excavated until an impermeable soil layer is reached. Gravel and stones will be placed above the soil layer to prevent erosion and further ensure a clean water source. A cement wall with an overflow tube at the top will be placed on the open wall of the spring to close the spring off. A second tube will be placed towards the bottom of the wall, approximately 50 centimeters from the ground, providing a connection to the catchment box. The water will flow from the protected spring into the catchment box where it will then be accessible to the community through a tap.
In addition, a cover will be constructed from local materials to ensure no contamination enters the spring from above, and to allow entry into the spring for cleaning and maintenance.
After the initial protection of the spring is completed, the catchment box will be constructed. It will contain an outlet tube approximately 50 centimeters from the ground with a tap to allow for water collection. An overflow tube will be placed 50 centimeters from the top of the catchment box to ensure that the catchment box does not overflow.
All tubes will have a screen on the end to ensure no debris will enter the spring or catchment box and all water leaving the catchment box will be free of particles.
A cover for the catchment box will also be constructed with a top allowing for easy access to clean and maintain it.
Finally, the spring and catchment box will be disinfected with a chlorine solution before use. Community members will be trained on maintenance to ensure a clean water source in the future and sustainability of all structures. Monthly water quality monitoring will continue in order to maintain water quality.
During the wet season, this project will benefit 49 people in 7 households, plus students at a small elementary school with 30 students. In the dry season, other water sources dry up and an additional 35 people in 7 households will use spring.
This project uses simple proven methods that can be replicated using locally available materials. Residents will be trained in construction and maintenance, thus ensuring sustainability.
In summary, this is a necessary project to prevent further contamination of the spring and provide clean drinking water to the Parina community. Its benefits will be seen in the measurable reduction of illness.
This project has now been fully funded through the generosity of The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust as a part of their Clean Water Projects initiative.
We encourage others to continue to donate using the Donate button below, and we will notify Kristen of your donation. Additional funds will be used to fund other projects in Peru.

Conclusion of Solar Pump System Repair Project - Mali
The project was to rebuild the broken solar pump-to-tap system by replacing the damaged broken pipes and repairing the livestock-watering trough.
Zac reports:
I, along with the Diaramana Water Committee, have left the solar pump system in a functioning and more sustainable state. Now the broken parts on the livestock-watering trough and the broken transmission pipe have been replaced so that less water is being wasted through leakage.
All of the broken tap heads have been replaced with new tap heads with keys, and each key has been assigned to a certain respected member of the community within the vicinity of that tap head.
The Diaramana Water Committee and the traditional gerontocracy have agreed upon a new system for cost recovery and user payments, and according to my knowledge that new system will be implemented with the next year's taxes.
The Diaramana Water Committee has now developed the capacity for conducting repairs and maintenance of the solar pump system. This might seem too obvious a thing to bother writing about, but never before has the Water Committee been involved in any such repair project before - they have only sat back and watched as an NGO came in and built this water system with minimal involvement.
The community paid for all of the new tap heads, and for all of the welding, plumbing and transportation costs.
We wish to thank Zac for carrying out this great project, and again thank The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding.
Conclusion of Naranjo Dry Bathroom Project – Peru
This project, as part of a larger Healthy Homes and Dry Bathrooms project, was to construct 60 "dry bathrooms", one for each family in the community.
Matt reports:
The project's goals were to teach new skills (family hygiene, household water treatment, and illness prevention; vegetable gardening and general nutrition; waste management, composting, and recycling; and dry bathroom construction, use, and maintenance), develop management skills within the community, and reduce the village's rate of intestinal infections over time through the construction and correct use of sixty dry bathrooms.
The first goal was met; there was high community participation in meetings and trainings from start to finish, and the population showed significant knowledge retention through group "quizzes" given at each meeting.
The second goal also was met, in that the community (and particularly the five members of the Project Committee) demonstrated substantial organizational and project-planning skills, soliciting the local municipality's support when needed and resolving disputes between families, workers, and institutions at different stages throughout the project.
By the end of the project, they showed increased confidence and management capability both in working with the local municipality and with outside institutions like Peace Corps.
In regards to the final goal, the rate of reported intestinal infections must be monitored over several months (and ideally, several years) in order to make any conclusions. This will be carried out by both the Volunteer responsible for the project as well as his two replacement Volunteers in the district capital which the village belongs to.
In the end, fifty-two of the proposed sixty dry bathrooms were built, in addition to two "ventilated improved pit" latrines. Six families dropped out of the project along the way, for lack of interest or inability to provide the required materials and active participation.
The community as a whole, however, was extremely pleased with the results and many had begun using their units with 100% satisfaction. The remaining families were only missing final touches, such as the door, and planned to begin using their bathrooms as soon as possible.
Matt is continuing on as a 3rd-year volunteer at a new site in Pisco, about 4 hours south of Lima. We thank him for completing this great project, and wish him the best.
We again wish to thank The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding for our participation in this project.
Wat Potaram Pre-School Cafeteria Project – Thailand
Baan Nong Hai Village is a small, agricultural community located in Maha Sarakham Province in the Northeastern region of Thailand.
Wat Potaram Pre-School is one of two pre-school centers in the local district. Located on the grounds of a temple, the school serves 75 students, ages 3-5, with 5 teachers and one cook. Since Buddhist traditions play a very important role in the lives of the villagers, the temple and pre-school area are frequently used for community events as well.
Currently, there are no appropriate facilities in the school for the students to use at meal times. Instead, the students eat on the classroom floor, which is very crowded, not conducive to food distribution, and, most importantly, unsanitary.
The cafeteria will be attached to the pre-school, and will contain a food preparation and serving area, as well as tables and chairs. The Water Charity participation in the project will pay for the water-related aspects of the project. These include the fixtures as well as piping for supply, distribution, and wastewater removal in the new cafeteria.
The project is structured so that community families and workers will provide the labor. The many community stakeholders active in this project include local government staff, teachers, parents and students.
The teachers plan to use this opportunity to increase awareness about overall sanitation through hand washing lessons before and after meals and other health tutorials.
This project will directly benefit 81 people, and indirectly benefit several hundred more community members who use the facility for various community events.
This is a high-impact, immediately-effective project that will serve large numbers of villagers and students. It will reduce disease by creating hygienic conditions for years to come.

The best and juiciest chicken! Taste like Momma use to make when we were kids. Loved it. We also got the 10 pc catfish, omg it was the best. I have not found such good catfish here in Florida! You should try this place.
We actually at at the one in St Amant. 44014 Highway 431, Saint Amant, LA 70774. The chicken is moist yet not greasy. Seasoned yet not overly. We had to wait 10 minutes, not a long time, and the bird was hot and fresh. The staff is polite and accomodating. I will definitely visit again. They also have a drive...
The chicken was cold and the service was rude. We stopped by on our way home to pick up dinner on a Saturday afternoon. I'm pretty sure they did not want our business. We ordered to go off of the menu and were told we could only have what was already cooked. This is a fast food restaruant, but if...
Simply the best fried chicken and fish. Period.
Atmosphere? It's a fried chicken joint!
Can't be beat anywhere in town.
We've visited Leaders many times over the years. The food is excellent, reasonable and served hot and timely. I only gave 3 stars for atmosphere only because it is more a lunch stop and go eatery. Not a bad thing. The fish and fries are better than any I've eaten in New Orleans and they keep the place very clean....

The Shetland Dialect, As I See It, or Hear It.
That's my pet project.
I believe if we don't use it we lose it. We all speak it every day but how often do we think about it, and even worse how often is it written down.
When I went to school the dialect was discouraged, but thankfully that is changing. My children are now encouraged to speak Shetland.
I love to read and write Shetland poetry, songs, etc.. It's a hobby,and I am gathering Shetland words from family and friends, in the hope of keeping the dialect alive, on Shetlopedia in the Shetland Dictionary section.
Please add, edit, correct, etc.. as you see fit. This could be the best chance of survival for the dialect.
Feel free to e-mail me if you are unsure how to add to the dictionary.(Look for the "e-mail this user" thingy on the left of this page).
Even if you have just heard a word and don't know what it means, just let me know what it sounded like and in what context it was used, and I will try to figure it out. I have a friend in Norway who knows a lot about old Norse who can decipher lots of words.

Rivals' Report Says Support Saves Ryanair From Loss, Echo Says
June 26 (Bloomberg) -- Rival airlines to Ryanair Holdings Plc have drawn up a report alleging that the Irish discount carrier would have made a loss of 304.9 million euros ($381.6 million) in the 2011-12 financial year if it wasn't for state support, L'Echo reported, citing a copy of the document.
The report, which hasn't been made public, was drawn up by the Association of European Airlines, a trade group, L'Echo said.
In an interview with the Belgian newspaper, Ryanair Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary denied that the airline received state aid. Tax reductions that the company has negotiated with airports do not count as public support, he said.
O'Leary said Ryanair would seek to begin flights from another four European airports by the end of this year, according to L'Echo.

PRESTONSBURG – Faculty and staff at Big Sandy Community and Technical College had the opportunity to hear a presentation Oct. 16 by Norb Ryan, Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator for Kentucky.
The event was sponsored by the Office of Cultural Diversity and the Disability Services Office for Disability Awareness Month in November.
Ryan was introduced by Janie Beverley, disability services coordinator for the college and longtime friend, to kick off the event. Ryan began by sharing with those in attendance that a disability is something that in some way touches us all, and showed them a list of celebrities and other famous figures who had disabilities. He then enlightened the group about the ADA and explained its purpose in day-to-day life.
The ADA provides a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities; provides clear, strong, consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and ensures that the federal government plays a central role in enforcing the standards established in this chapter on behalf of individuals with disabilities. The requirements of the ADA cover activities of state and local governments requires that they give people with disabilities equal opportunity to benefit from all of the programs, activities and services, such as public education, employment, transportation, health care, recreation, voting and town meetings. The ADA has even moved now to cover cancer patients.
Ryan has served as the ADA state coordinator since 2001 and has served in some capacity of disability service since beginning his career in 1976.
For more information about the ADA and services offered, Ryan can be contacted at email@example.com or by telephone at (877) 423-2933.
Those needing such services at BSCTC can contact Janie Beverley by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the college's website, at bigsandy.kctcs.edu/academics.

Guggulsterones Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Guggulsterones are an all natural source of nutrients thought to help stimulate the thyroid. For those with thyroid conditions that make it hard to lose weight, a supplement may help keep the thyroid active enough to start producing weight loss results. This review will take a closer look to determine if the supplement has any potential value to customers looking to lose weight.
List Of Ingredients
There are a variety of different supplements that contain Guggulsterones. Guggulsterones are a commonly seen ingredient, and may even be sold in supplements with no other ingredients. When selecting a supplement, make sure there is a high concentration in the formula.
Product Features
Guggulsterones come from the sap of the Guggul tree. The tree is native to areas of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. The Guggulsterones stimulate the thyroid gland, the one that produces the hormones that control the burning of fat in the body. By taking the supplement to boost the thyroid hormone production, the body will start burning fat and help you loose more weight. For those without thyroid problems, though, taking Guggulsterones may not be a good idea. While this approach to weight loss will be effective for some, without an appetite suppressant or fat burner, it is not going to be suitable for everyone looking to lose weight.
- Guggulsterones are known to stimulate the thyroid.
- Since there are so many supplements out there that contain Guggulsterones, it is hard to tell if you are getting high quality, concentrated ingredients that will be effective.
- This is not the typical weight loss supplement in that it does not contain any appetite suppressants or fat burners.
- Not all Guggulsterones products are created equally. Some are more expensive than others, and price is not always indicative of quality.
- Reference is made to studies to prove the effectiveness of the Guggulsterones in stimulating the thyroid, however, we cannot find any of them.
Guggulsterones may be a good option for people with underactive thyroids to help lose weigh; however, this product is likely not an option for those who want to lose weight without any thyroid issues. The most effective weight loss supplements include either fat burners or appetite suppressants. If you do not have thyroid issues, we recommend that you use one of the proven weight loss supplements with a balanced diet and exercise program. If you do have a thyroid condition, please speak with a doctor to ensure it will not interfere with any prescription medication you may be taking.

The board is committed to ensuring that the Group is well managed and that rigorous and transparent procedures allow this to happen.
The principal governance rules applying to UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are contained in The UK Corporate Governance Code, revised by the Financial Reporting Council in September 2012 (the "Code"). This report also includes the information that is required by the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules ("LR") and Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules ("DTR") to be contained in the Company's annual report.
The board consists of:
The board is responsible for:
Specific responsibilities are delegated to our four board committees – audit on page 56 of the Annual Report 2014, remuneration on page 64 of the Annual Report 2014. Nominations on page 61 of the Annual Report 2014 and finance on page 63 of the Annual Report 2014.
To maintain control and direction over strategic, financial, operational and compliance issues, the board has put in place formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority.
Established procedures are geared to identify, evaluate and manage significant risks and to monitor the Group's businesses and performance.
This framework is reviewed annually and is designed to safeguard shareholders' investments and the Group's assets, while ensuring that proper accounting records are maintained. Senior management is responsible for making sure that controls and procedures are enforced and that the board is informed of any risks and control issues that arise.
As part of its risk oversight role, the board, as a whole, including the audit committee, satisfies itself that the necessary steps are taken to foster a culture of risk-adjusted decision-making throughout the Group. The board strives to ensure that risk management is an integral component of the Group's corporate strategy, culture and value generation process. The board's view is that risk management should be neither an impediment to the conduct of business nor a mere supplement to the Group's overall compliance programme.
The risk management process is reviewed by the audit committee on behalf of the board and monitored regularly by the chief executive, supported by the company secretary.
The executive directors and senior management meet regularly with representatives from the business to address financial, human resource, risk management and other control issues.
Our system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance against material mistatement or loss. It controls, rather than eliminates, any human error, deliberate misconduct or unforeseen events.
We oversee a culture of strong control and risk management. This is reflected in:
The audit committee has responsibility for the internal audit function and the director of internal audit reports directly to the chairman of the audit committee.
Our internal audit team provides an objective and continuous stream of data and opinion on risk management and control. To avoid bias, it is entirely independent of the business operations under audit, and line management is to the chairman of the audit committee. The audit committee agrees the annual audit plan and reviews audit reports produced by the internal audit team.
The scope of the audit coverage is defined by the audit committee and covers all systems, procedures and activities of all operations, departments and functions within the Group, including projects, policy developments, financial and non-financial processes.
Our system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance against material mistatement or loss. It controls, rather than eliminates, any human error, deliberate misconduct or uncertain events.
The board as a whole takes responsibility for ensuring that satisfactory dialogue with shareholders takes place. We speak with institutional shareholders and city analysts through a programme of investor relations and regular meetings with principal shareholders conducted by our chief executive, finance director and director of investor relations.
All directors receive reports to keep them in touch with shareholder opinion. During the period under review, a total of 23 meetings with nine shareholders were attended by one or more of the chairman, chief executive and finance director.
Formal briefings on shareholder opinion are circulated to the board after presentation of the Company's interim and annual results.
The principal method of communicating with all our shareholders is via our corporate website, www.rank.com. Information can be provided in paper format but only when shareholders specifically request this.
All shareholders are welcome to attend our annual general meeting ("AGM"). Private investors are encouraged to ask questions following a summary business presentation of the Group's results and development plans.
The chairman, chief executive and chairmen of the audit, remuneration and nominations committees are all present.
Shareholders are invited to vote on the formal resolutions contained in the notice of meeting, which is published at least 20 working days beforehand. The business presentation, voting results and answers are made available at www.rank.com, or in printed format on request.
Shareholders may also use electronic means to vote - or appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf - at the annual and other general meetings of the Company.

Identifying & Contacting Jefferson Researchers
Jefferson's active and diverse research community is a rich resource for:
Depending on the need, several tools are available to identify research activity on campus by department or division, researcher name, research topic, or research methodology.
Local Jefferson Resources
Jefferson Faculty Research
Interests Database
Profiles: Faculty Research Knowledge Map
Databases of Research Activities
Clinical Trials Database
Funded Research
Literature Databases
When databases like MEDLINE include a field for author affiliation/institution, this field can be searched to identify works by Jefferson authors. Searches may also be refined to identify works by individual researchers or departments, research methodologies used, or research topics.
Note that most of these databases list the affiliation only for the corresponding author, so collaborative efforts with multiple institutions may not be retrieved. Scopus, however, includes affilation fields for all the authors.
Search Strategy - Any Database
In the affiliation or institution field of any database, use the term Jefferson to find articles published out of Jefferson Medical College or Thomas Jefferson University. This will yield some false hits (e.g., Jefferson, AR) but will anticipate the many ways that Jefferson-affiliated researchers list their addresses. Note: to be even more thorough include 19107 (the main campus zip code), Kimmel Cancer Center or Rothman Institute for those Jefferson researchers who omit the word Jefferson from their addresses.

Poor planning. It's winter. It snows.
Thank God I can cancel that canned food drive I had planned for them.
I agree, machine, by the stories my 85-year old father tells. I am not happy about our Welfare State, either, but just go back a few decades and put that into real-time motion today. Go ahead and imagine that.
"Snow is already forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday," Williams said. "We could have 10 more storms or that could be the last one of the year." Sounds like somebody has a crystal ball.

Not every homeless person is a derelict. And I know of what I write, I work weekends at a homeless shelter. A little human empathy goes a long way, people. Try it.
This really should have been priority #1. But sadly, it wasn't. Lots of catching up to do. Wasted time & rhetoric.
I'll take a January Thaw....
ALL OF THIS just has "HATE" written all over it.
Rest in peace, Jack. You were an inspiration.
Maybe I should go to Puerto Rico for a job.
This is kind of sad, but that store has been dumpy for quite a few years. The Eastfield Mall saw its peak in the 70's and 80's before Wal-Mart, Target and the Holyoke Mall came in. It was a place that suburbinites from Ludlow, Palmer, Monson, etc. came to shop. I do think Target would be a good fit. Filene's was great to shop in before Macy's.
Point very well taken.
I would be satisfied with seeing a little of that transparency and non-bipartisanship. Only asking for crumbs & truth.
Wow. Hope he joins the drunk Holyoke Water Works supervisor who carried a gun to work in the unemployment line. Do you have to be nuts to work for the city of Holyoke??
This was potentially a disaster waiting to happen, it makes me sick to think of what might have been. Kudos to the HPD.
I only wish I had this much time to think of such lunacy. I hope this boob has a swift recovery.
Yes, indeed. I'd also like to investigate if I'm one of Oprah's lost relatives.

Nate Schmidt
St. Cloud Minnesota
Eligible for draft:
Free agent signing, 2013
194 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: Nate Schmidt was one of the top defensemen in Minnesota high school hockey as a junior for Cathedral High School in St. Cloud. In 25 games he scored 21 goals with 24 assists and had 30 penalty minutes. Schmidt committed to playing college hockey at the University of Minnesota in 2010-11.
2009-10: Schmidt chose to play junior hockey rather than returning for his senior season at Cathedral. He was the leading scorer amongst defensemen for Fargo in his first USHL season. He scored 14 goals with 23 assists in 57 regular season games and was -7 with 81 penalty minutes. The Force finished second in the West Conference and reached the Clark Cup finals against Green Bay. Schmidt had 6 assists in 13 playoff games and was -8 with 2 penalty minutes.
2010-11: Schmidt skated in 13 games for Minnesota as a freshman — spending time playing left wing as well as his regular defense spot. He had 1 assist and was an even plus/minus with 6 penalty minutes. The Gophers struggled to stay above .500 much of the season, finishing fifth in the WCHA, and were swept by Alaska-Anchorage in a first round playoff series.
2011-12: Schmidt had a breakout sophomore season as part of a young defense corps that played a key role in Minnesota's resurgence. The fourth-leading scorer for the Gophers (and leader amongst defensemen), he scored 3 goals with a team-leading 38 assists and was +24 with 14 penalty minutes in 43 games. Minnesota finished first in the WCHA and after an upset loss to North Dakota in the WCHA semifinals defeated the Fighting Sioux the following weekend in the NCAA West Regional Final to earn a spot in the Frozen Four. The Gophers lost to eventual national champion Boston College, 6-1, in the semifinals.
2012-13: Schmidt signed a two-year entry-level contract with Washington in April 2013 and made his pro debut with Capitals AHL affiliate Hershey following his junior season at Minnesota. In eight regular season games with Hershey he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was -4 with 2 penalty minutes. The Bears finished fourth in the East Division and lost to Atlantic Division champion Providence in a first round playoff series. Schmidt had 2 assists and was +1 in five playoff games. He was the top offensive defensemen for Minnesota in his final season, scoring 9 goals with 23 assists in 40 games, and was +16 with 16 penalty minutes. Minnesota finished tied for first with St. Cloud State in the WCHA regular season. The Gophers season came to a disappointing end as Minnesota lost to Colorado College, 2-0, in the WCHA semifinals and fell to national champion Yale, 3-2 in overtime in the NCAA West Regional semifinals.
2013-14: Schmidt made his NHL debut for the Capitals in an October 12th game against Colorado — splitting the season between Washington and AHL affiliate Hershey. He scored 2 goals with 4 assists and was +4 with 6 penalty minutes in 29 NHL games with the Capitals. In 38 AHL games for the Bears he scored 2 goals with 11 assists and was -5 with 12 penalty minutes. Hershey finished fourth in the East Division, two points behind Norfolk for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Schmidt was tendered a qualifying offer by Washington and signed a one-year contract with the Capitals as a restricted free agent in July 2014.
Talent Analysis
Schmidt is a skating defenseman with a big shot who is very smooth and can quickly get to top speed. He transitions from the defensive end to the offensive end quickly. While his offensive tools are his calling card he is a competent defensive player. His gap control and containment are sound and he will play the body. Schmidt is confident with the puck and his invigorating offensive style make him an intriguing all around prospect.
Schmidt made the Capitals out of training camp to start the 2014-15 season and was with Washington for most of the first half before being assigned to AHL affiliate Hershey in January 2014. Known for his offensive ability coming out of college, Schmidt had just three assists in 33 games for the Capitals and has similarly been overshadowed by players like Connor Carrick and Tomas Kundratek with the Bears. Schmidt's stick handling an shooting skill, as well as his ability to read the rush, suggest he has the talent to succeed at the NHL level. With several talented defensemen in the Washington pipeline, his ability to produce points from the blueline and defend more consistently will likely determine his future with the organization. Long-term he projects as a puck-moving defenseman and power play specialist at the NHL level. It is equally possible that his career hits its peak at the AHL level or he receives a lucrative offer from a club in Europe.

Identifying Steps Forward in Use of Prizes to Spur Innovation
Today OSTP released a comprehensive report detailing the use of prizes and competitions by agencies to spur innovation and solve grand challenges. Those efforts have expanded in recent months under the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010, which granted all Federal agencies authority to conduct prize competitions to spur innovation, solve tough problems, and advance their core missions.
The report details the remarkable benefits the Federal government has already reaped from more than 150 prize competitions implemented by 40 agencies since 2010 and early indicators of how the quantity and scope of public-sector prizes is likely to increase, helping agencies achieve their missions more efficiently and effectively.
Over the past three years, the Obama Administration has taken important steps to make prizes a standard tool in every agency's toolbox. In his September 2009 Strategy for American Innovation, President Obama called on all agencies to increase their use of prizes to address some of our Nation's most pressing challenges. In March 2010, the Office of Management and Budget issued a policy framework to guide agencies in using prizes to mobilize American ingenuity and advance their respective core missions. In September 2010, the Administration launched Challenge.gov, a one-stop shop where entrepreneurs and citizen solvers can find public-sector prize competitions. To date, that site has featured more than 150 prize offerings from 40 agencies.
The prize authority in COMPETES is a key piece of this effort. By giving agencies a clear legal path and expanded authority for the use of competitions and challenges, the legislation makes it dramatically easier for agencies to enlist this powerful approach to problem-solving and to pursue more ambitious prizes with robust incentives.
To help agencies take full advantage of this authority, OSTP and the Office of Management and Budget jointly issued a Fact Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions memorandum in August 2011. Agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), are establishing strategies and policies to expand their use of the new prize authority. The General Service Administration launched a new contract vehicle to dramatically decrease the amount of time required for agencies to tap the private-sector expertise that is so critical to early success. And a new government-wide Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation, led by NASA, is providing guidance to agencies on the full lifecycle of prizes, from design through implementation to post-prize evaluation.
All indications from the first eight months of implementation are that COMPETES will help agencies across the Federal government continue to reap the benefits of high-impact prizes.

Guiding Principles
WKU Faculty-Led Study Abroad programs (FLSA) are to be planned, administered, and assessed based on these guiding principles:
- Courses should provide rich, academic content and opportunities for personal growth, while also improving cultural awareness.
- Planning, well in advance of a program start date, increases the likelihood of achieving the intended learning outcomes.
- The chosen international destination(s) must be central to the clearly defined learning outcomes.
- Student safety while abroad requires preparation in all phases of development and implementation.
- DELO's ability to financially manage FLSA courses should relieve faculty from handling student monies directly.
- Electronic processes ideally replace paper processes.
- Two-deep leadership promotes balance in meeting the demands of leading a program.
- FLSA programs are a shared responsibility.
FLSA Administrative Process
FLSA program are guided by the current Faculty-Led Study Abroad Manual (Rev October 2011).
See the Leader Support and Resource page for the update Leader Introduction and Administrative Manual.
It is recognized that the new model will be implemented over time and adjustments will be made as needed. The goal is to increase and improve FLSA programs and support leaders in all phase their programs. The manual is intended to make the process of creating a FLSA program more accessible and transparent to faculty.
FLSA Leadership
The Division of Extended Learning & Outreach (DELO) extends educational opportunities beyond the traditional university setting. Academic units who create and deliver successful programs are the beneficiaries of DELO's services through academic outreach, faculty development, personal and workforce development, conferencing & catering, event planning, and study away (see www.wku.edu/delo/about.php).
The Office of Study Away (SA), a unit of DELO, was established in May 2010 as a complement to study abroad. Study away programs function similarly to FLSA programs, but travel to locations in which students need no passport. WKU added faculty-led study abroad programs to the Study Away portfolio in 2011. Under this structure, the Office of Study Away provides collaborative administrative support, logistical oversight, budgeting, financial management, marketing with faculty leaders, their departments, and colleges. Study Away staff work directly with program leaders and often serve as a proxy for them related to non-academic matters (see www.wku.edu/flsa).
Office of International Programs (OIP) is led by the Chief International Officer for Global Learning (CIO-GL) with responsibility to expand opportunities for the active engagement of students in international learning experiences both off-campus and on-campus. The CIO-GL must approve all FLSA programs (new and repeating) in order for a program to proceed (see www.wku.edu/academicaffairs/cad/craig_cobane).
The Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning (SAGL) works primarily on the student and academic side of the study abroad development process. SAGL has traditionally focused on aiding in recruitment and providing orientation, pre-departure, and re-entry session for students. (see www.wku.edu/studyabroad).
International Education Advisory Council (IEAC) is composed of faculty representing the various academic colleges who advise the CIO-GL on issues related to internationalization at WKU. The IEAC members review FLSA proposals and provide feedback to the program leaders. IEAC recommends action by the CIO-GL on each program (see www.wku.edu/oip/iec.php).
The Program Leadership Team is the faculty and staff who serve as on-site administrators in a two-deep leadership model. They share in the development, implementation, post program reporting, and financial reconciliation of the program. A minimum of two program leaders are required for each program. Because the program fee paid by participants covers all or a portion of each program leader's expenses, each leader is expected to be engaged in all aspects of the program for the benefit of all the participants. The sharing of responsibilities and duties among the program leaders, in cooperation with Study Away staff, increases the likelihood of a successful program.
Faculty-Led Study Abroad Courses
FLSA courses are defined by the following:
- Program location(s) require a valid passport.
- Offer at least one WKU credit course taught by a WKU faculty member. The course(s) are set-up in Banner with specific characteristics that differentiate them from on-campus courses. FLSA courses are customarily offered in WKU's winter term or summer session. However, activities tied to courses during fall or spring academic terms are handled on a case-by-case basis.
NOTE: Courses offered through third-party providers or consortia to which WKU belongs, even if led by WKU faculty, are outside the scope of the FLSA program unless the faculty member and his/her department specifically designate the course is to be offered in an FLSA program.
The new Faculty-Led Study Abroad model offered by DELO is designed to help make your program work by providing these services:
- Budget management and financial reconciliation
- Marketing support
- Student registration and billing
- Travel coordination and logistics
- Orientation support
- Support Recruitment - Recruiting students is a joint effort among the faculty leaders, the academic departments and colleges, Study Abroad & Global Learning, and the Study Away office. WKU faculty members have a wide sphere of influence and can generate a lot of interest in your programs. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm can spread among other students, working to your advantage.

Respondent.Serve at:
2361 Campus Drive
Irvine, CA 92612
The Missouri Securities Division ("Securities Division") has gathered information indicating that Brookstreet Securities Corporation ("Respondent") may have failed to follow its policies in connection with supervision of former registered representative James Hall and accurately report customer complaints on the Forms U-4 and U-5 submitted through the CRD System, and that this conduct may be grounds to discipline Respondent's registration in Missouri pursuant to Section 409.4-412(d), RSMo. (Cum. Supp 2005).
Respondent and the Securities Division desire to settle the matters relating to Respondent's supervision of its former representative James Hall and its reporting of customer complaints through the CRD system;
Respondent and the Securities Division consent to the issuance of this Order and hereby stipulate that this Order is in the public interest;
Respondent stipulates and agrees to the issuance of this Order without further proceedings, agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions specified herein;
Respondent waives its right to a hearing;
Respondent waives any rights it may have to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the terms and conditions of this Order. Respondent specifically forever releases and holds harmless the Missouri Office of Secretary of State, Secretary of State, Securities Division and the Commissioner of Securities and their respective representatives and agents from any and all liability and claims arising out of, pertaining to or relating to this matter;
Respondent agrees that Respondent is not the prevailing party in this action since the parties have reached a good faith settlement.
Respondent and the Securities Division stipulate and agree that with this Order, the subject matter of Respondent's practices relating to its supervision of James Hall and the reporting of customer complaints for Respondent's Missouri-registered representatives, is fully and finally resolved, and no further action shall be taken by the Securities Division against Respondent and its representatives and agents Should the facts contained herein prove to be false the Securities Division reserves the right to pursue any and all legal or administrative remedies at its disposal; and
This Order represents a settlement between the parties. It is expressly understood that the Stipulation and Order are for the purpose of resolving this proceeding only and are not to constitute admissions of liability or wrongdoing for any other purpose or proceeding.
Respondent and the Securities Division agree to the following Stipulations of Fact:
Respondent is a Missouri-registered broker-dealer with its principal office at 2361 Campus Drive, #210, Irvine, California 92612. Respondent is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
Section 409.4-406(a), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2005), requires that a person shall register as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative by filing an application. This application is commonly known as a Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer ("Form U-4"), filed through the Central Registration Depository ("CRD"). If the information contained in a U-4 becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment. Section 409.4-406(b), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2005).
Section 409.4-408(a), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2005), requires that, if an agent terminates employment by or association with a broker-dealer, the broker-dealer shall promptly file a notice of termination; this notice is commonly known as a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration ("Form U-5"), filed through the CRD.
Pursuant to the general instructions for the Form U-5, a registrant is under a continuing obligation to amend and update Section 7 of the Form U-5, and to promptly update information required by the Form U-4.
The Division conducted an examination of Respondent's practices with respect to the reporting of complaints, arbitrations and other matters for Respondent's Missouri-registered representatives. The investigation included reviewing customer complaints, resolutions, arbitration Statements of Claim, arbitration awards, Forms U-4 and U-5 filings and other documents relating to Respondent's reporting of customer complaints and arbitrations. The Division's investigation revealed, among other things, that:
From April - September 2006, Respondent received four customer-initiated sales practice-related complaints and two arbitration Statements of Claim for its Missouri registered representatives.
In certain instances, the Division's investigation found facts that led the Division to believe that Respondent failed to report the full nature and extent of the customer-initiated complaints and arbitrations referenced in the preceding paragraph on the representatives' Forms U-4 and U-5 filed with the CRD.
During 2005 and 2006, the Division conducted an investigation of Respondent's Registered Representative James A. Hall. The Division's investigation revealed, among other things, that:
On or about March 24, 2004, James A. Hall, CRD #225092, became registered in Missouri as a securities agent. His registration was voluntarily terminated on September 13, 2005.
Mr. Hall was the subject of one customer complaint in 2005 from a Missouri resident for unauthorized transactions in the account.
Through the course of its investigation, the Division found facts that led it to conclude that Respondent failed to adhere to its own policies in the supervision of Mr. Hall.
Respondent and the Securities Division stipulate and agree that the Commissioner has jurisdiction over these matters pursuant to the Missouri Securities Act, Chapter 409, et al.
Respondent and the Securities Division stipulate and agree that the Commissioner has authority to enter this Order pursuant to Section 409.6-604(h), RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2005), which provides:
"The commissioner is authorized to issu
e administrative consent orders in the settlement of
any proceeding in the public interest under this Act."
WHEREAS, the Commissioner, after consideration of the stipulations and statement set forth above and on the consent of Respondent and the Securities Division, finds the following Order to be in the public interest, necessary for the protection of public investors and consistent with the provisions of Chapter 409, RSMo. (Cum. Supp. 2005).
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby Ordered that:
Respondent shall adopt and implement changes in its reporting procedures to the CRD system to ensure full, timely and complete reporting of the accurate nature and extent of the complaint(s) made to Respondent.
Respondent shall pay a sum of Fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) to the Missouri Investor Education and Protection Fund. This amount shall be sent to the Securities Division at 600 West Main St. Jefferson City, MO 65101within fourteen (14) business days of the effective date of this Order. The Division will send the money to the Missouri Secretary of State's Investor Education and Protection Fund;
WITNESS MY HAND AND OFFICIAL SEAL OF MY OFFICE AT JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI THIS 11th DAY OF JANUARY, 2007.
Consented to by:
Lori J. Neidel

HP TouchPad sales to continue with 200,000 new tablets to be manufactured to clear stocks
Following the recent news that HP has halted production of the HP TouchPad new reports have suggested the tech giant is to manufacture up to 200,000 more of the webOS tablets to clear component stocks.
In the wake of the HP TouchPad culling retailers slashed the price of the 1.2GHz dual-core processor boasting tablet with eager UK adopters able to snap up the basic 16GB model for as little as £89 whilst those looking to plump for the larger 32GB TouchPad offering had to part with just £115.
Whilst HP has previously confirmed that it is to add new stocks to the TouchPad sales in the US, it is currently unknown whether any or the reported 200,000 new TouchPad tablets will make it across the pond to UK retailers.
Lining up at just 13.7mm thick and 740grams in weight the HP TouchPad boasts a 1.3-megapixel rear-mounted camera alongside a 9.7-inch 1024 x 768p and a single mini USB port.
Are you still keen to snap up a cut-priced HP TouchPad or would you rather a market dominating Apple iPad? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin Azure claimed to be the disendant of Olaf the Blue, a Viking who had reached North America in the early 10th century and had claimed this land as his property. However, this claim was never suported by any facts. Creation He was created by Carl Barks in 1952. Later, he was used by Don Rosa for his sequel to Barks' story. Major Arcs The Golden Helmet To given legal standing to his claim to North America, Azure had to find the mysterious Golden Helmet with the help of his lawyer, Sharky. However, the currator creates his own rival expedition to find this artifact for his mussem with help of Donald Duck and his three nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. They did find the helmet, but it made everyone around it become greedy and power hungry (in azure and Sharky's case it made them even more greedy), so the nephews threw it into the ocean. The Lost Carts of Columbus It was later revealed in Rosa's sequel that Azure stayed in that same area, dredging the waters to find the helmet with no luck. Ironically, Gladstone Gander (who had some luck) was able to fish it out of the sea without even trying. The fight for who the rightful owner of North America should be began agian, but this time, Donald and Azure kept finding even older claims to america. It was later realized that all these newly found claims were fakes (though actully lay claim to all of Europe), so Azure is defeated and he is forced to pay for all the expences he and his team has collected throughout the adventure. Rightful Owners (Duck Tales Cameo) Azure makes a cameo in Duck Tales as one of the many rogues contacted by the mysterious Agent X to foil Scrooge's chances at winning a bet against John D. Rockerduck.

So many movies and tv shows about Snow White have shown up in the past six months. They all have to be different somehow. "congressman" reminds me of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce." That was from Jay Leno's headlines, typographical humor from before DYAC.

BRISTOL, Conn. (March 13, 2013)—Two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Ray Lewis, 37, is joining ESPN as a studio analyst, the network announced Wednesday.
Lewis announced in January that he's retiring after 17 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, and the fearsome linebacker ended his playing career with a Super Bowl title.
Lewis will travel to the site of each week's "Monday Night Football" matchup to take part in pregame and postgame coverage and will also appear on "Sunday NFL Countdown" and ESPN Radio.
"I'm ready to bring the same level of passion to this next phase of my life as I brought to the field during my years as a player," he said.

Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of industrial products (ACAA)
Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAAs) are a specific type of mutual recognition agreement based on the alignment of the legislative system and infrastructure of the country concerned with those of the European Union.
The conclusion of an ACAA is the end result of extensive dialogue and assistance in the fields of technical regulations and standards for industrial products.
The adoption of the EU system by other third countries will contribute to the elimination of technical barriers to trade, thereby increasing the accessibility of third countries' markets to products from the EU and vice versa.
It will also consolidate our model as one appropriate for product regulation beyond the EU and contribute towards upgrading of the quality infrastructure and technical development in the partner countries.
At the same time, the level of health and safety protection existing in the EU is ensured and not compromised by the widened access to the single market for third countries' products.
This agreement is currently prepared and negotiated with Neighbouring countries, notably Mediterranean ones (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Tunisia) and Ukraine in industrial sectors where the legislation is harmonised at EU level.
The sectors concerned are mainly machinery, electrical products, construction products, pressure equipment, toys, medical appliances, gas appliances and pharmaceuticals.
A first ACAA with Israel on good manufacturing practice for pharmaceutical products has entered into force on 19 January 2013.

Ah, the tried and true John Canzano "Off with his head!" column. I hope this isn't followed by too many of the usual followup "Why hasn't it happened yet?" columns. This is low hanging fruit, John.
If his dog wasn't with him and there's no sign of him, he may not be alive. That could really delay finding him.
Don't confuse Lars with facts.
Back in the '90's, a bunch of people taking tryptophan supplements started getting a thing called eosinophilia myalgia syndrome. Turned out it was because of a contaminant in the supplement, from the manufacturing process. This epidemic of compartment syndrome may turn out to be a similar thing, where some contaminant in something that many players ate or drank has this particular adverse reaction with what would normally be a harmless amount of exercise. Hopefully the public health officials are looking at this.
Wonder if they went all the way and tested the saliva for DNA. Then they could prove that it came from the employee, and not from the police officer.
"In 2006, acting on the recommendation of a consultant, the Assistance League sold its two debt-free buildings inside the city limits, including its well-known thrift store on the trendy Northwest 23rd Avenue corridor. The league then bought and renovated a building at 4000 S.W. 117th Ave. in Beaverton for $2.9million."
I'd like to know who the consultant was.
No, no. The 25 days was for the child neglect charge in November. She hasn't been tried yet on the meth charge, just charged at this point.
So you're back to your Ernie Kent jihad? I remember when you were stating repeatedly, with certainty, that Kent was gone. Next thing I know he's signed on for more. Well, at least it distracts you from Peyton Chapman bashing.
