September 2002

On September 18, 2002, the United States Department of the Treasury proposed
new USA PATRIOT Act regulations that would require most unregistered investment
companies such as hedge funds, venture capital funds, private equity
funds, commodity pools and real estate investment trusts (REITs) to
establish formal anti-money laundering ("AML") programs. Implementation
of these programs will require such companies to devote substantial resources
to achieve compliance.
Comments on these important proposed regulations must be received by
the Treasury Department no later than 60 days after publication in the
Federal Register.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act, every
"financial institution" is required to establish an AML program. The statutory
definition of "financial institution" includes an "investment company."
However, in an interim rule issued by the Treasury Department earlier this
year, investment companies other than mutual funds were exempted from the
AML program requirement contained in the PATRIOT Act. The proposed
regulations - when issued in final form - would eliminate the AML program
Specifically, the proposed regulations would define the term "unregistered
investment company," which is a subset of the term "investment company,"
to include investment vehicles such as hedge funds, private equity funds,
venture capital funds, commodity pools and REITs. These companies would
be required to establish an AML program that includes, at a minimum:
Applicability. The Treasury Department recognizes that an overly
expansive definition of the term would unnecessarily burden businesses not
prone to money laundering. Therefore, the proposed regulations would be
applicable to companies that:
Exceptions. Excluded from the proposed regulations are companies
owned by one family, employees' securities companies and employee benefit
plans that are not construed to be "pools" as defined by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission.

PDT Staff Writer
Mike Crabtree was sworn in for a third term as Scioto County Commissioner Tuesday night during a victory celebration held to thank friends and supports for working in his reelection campaign.
"I have had the privilege of serving Scioto County as county commissioner for a few terms. Now I have the privilege of serving one more term," Crabtree told supporters. "It's been a pleasure being county commissioner the eight years that I've served and I'm sure it's going to be a pleasure serving the next four years."
Crabtree defeated challenger Donny Rachford by 162 votes in the November General Election to retain his seat with the county commissioners.
"It's been a tough election this year and most of you know switching parties and having to hold on to my supporters. I found there is a lot of good people who managed to get me back where I am today. I could not have done this without a single one of you," Crabtree said. "Even with the stress Dianna and I have went through this past year, we came out victorious and appreciate all of you folks for that," Crabtree said.
Crabtree is slated to become chairman of the commissioners in 2013.
"I am on tap to become chairman next year. That holds with it more responsibility but, I've never come up against something I could not handle," Crabtree said. "We are certainly going to do what we can to make Scioto County a better place. Things are tough in todays economy but, we are going to do everything we can and I believe with Doug (Coleman Scioto County Commissioner-elect) coming in, he has assured me he is going to work with me to try to make things a little better."
He said some of the top issues facing the commissioners today include managing county's expenses and budget as well as bringing jobs to the area.
"The budget is in much better shape than it was, but we are going to have to continue to work conservatively. We're not out of the woods yet," Crabtree said. "Things do look better for Scioto County. We're going to continue to work to keep the budget under control and do what we can to encourage business here in the county."

Year of publication
- Enhanced binding and cold compression of nuclei due to admixture of antibaryons (2002)
- We discuss the possibility of producing a new kind of nuclear system by putting a few antibaryons inside ordinary nuclei. The structure of such systems is calculated within the relativistic mean field model assuming that the nucleon and antinucleon potentials are related by the G parity transformation. The presence of antinucleons leads to decreasing vector potential and increasing scalar potential for the nucleons. As a result, a strongly bound system of high density is formed. Due to the significant reduction of the available phase space the annihilation probability might be strongly suppressed in such systems.
- Physics opportunities at RHIC and LHC (1999)
- Nonequilibrium models (three-fluid hydrodynamics, UrQMD, and quark molecular dynamics) are used to discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions from the SPS via RHIC to LHC. It is demonstrated that these models - although they do treat the most interesting early phase of the collisions quite differently (thermalizing QGP vs. coherent color fields with virtual particles) -- all yield a reasonable agreement with a large variety of the available heavy ion data. Hadron/hyperon yields, including J/Psi meson production/suppression, strange matter formation, dileptons, and directed flow (bounce-off and squeeze-out) are investigated. Observations of interesting phenomena in dense matter are reported. However, we emphasize the need for systematic future measurements to search for simultaneous irregularities in the excitation functions of several observables in order to come close to pinning the properties of hot, dense QCD matter from data. The role of future experiments with the STAR and ALICE detectors is pointed out.
- Excitation function of entropy and pion production from AGS to SPS energies (1998)
- Entropy production in the initial compression stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions from AGS to SPS energies is calculated within a three-fluid hydrodynamical model. The entropy per participating net baryon is found to increase smoothly and does not exhibit a jump or a plateau as in the 1-dimensional one-fluid shock model. Therefore, the excess of pions per participating net baryon in nucleus-nucleus collisions as compared to proton-proton reactions also increases smoothly with beam energy.
- Impact parameter dependencies in Pb(160 AGeV)+Pb reactions : hydrodynamical vs. cascade calculations (1999)
- We investigate the impact parameter dependence of the specific entropy S/A in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Especially the anti-Lambda/anti-proton ratio is found to be a useful tool to distinguish between chemical equilibrium assumptions assumed in hydrodynamics (here: the 3-fluid model) and the chemical non-equilibrium scenario like in microscopic models as the UrQMD model.
- Entropy production in collisions of relativistic heavy ions : a signal for quark-gluon plasma phase transition? (1998)
- Entropy production in the compression stage of heavy ion collisions is discussed within three distinct macroscopic models (i.e. generalized RHTA, geometrical overlap model and three-fluid hydrodynamics). We find that within these models \sim 80% or more of the experimentally observed final-state entropy is created in the early stage. It is thus likely followed by a nearly isentropic expansion. We employ an equation of state with a first-order phase transition. For low net baryon density, the entropy density exhibits a jump at the phase boundary. However, the excitation function of the specific entropy per net baryon, S/A, does not reflect this jump. This is due to the fact that for final states (of the compression) in the mixed phase, the baryon density \rho_B increases with \sqrt{s}, but not the temperature T. Calculations within the three-fluid model show that a large fraction of the entropy is produced by nuclear shockwaves in the projectile and target. With increasing beam energy, this fraction of S/A decreases. At \sqrt{s}=20 AGeV it is on the order of the entropy of the newly produced particles around midrapidity. Hadron ratios are calculated for the entropy values produced initially at beam energies from 2 to 200 AGeV.
- The Phase Transition to the Quark-Gluon Plasma and Its Effect on Hydrodynamic Flow (1995)
- It is shown that in ideal relativistic hydrodynamics a phase transition from hadron to quark and gluon degrees of freedom in the nuclear matter equation of state leads to a minimum in the excitation function of the transverse collective flow.
- "Pressure equilibration" in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1997)
- We study the time scale for pressure equilibration in heavy ion collisions at AGS energies within the three-fluid hydrodynamical model and a microscopic cascade model (UrQMD). We find that kinetic equilibrium is reached in both models after a time of 5 fm/c (center-of-mass time). Thus, observables which are sensitive to the early stage of the reaction differ considerably from the expectations within the instant thermalization scenario (one-fluid hydrodynamical model).
- Extracting the equation of state from a microscopic non-equilibrium model (1996)
- We study the thermodynamic properties of infinite nuclear matter with the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD), a semiclassical transport model, running in a box with periodic boundary conditions. It appears that the energy density rises faster than T4 at high temperatures of T approx. 200 - 300 MeV. This indicates an increase in the number of degrees of freedom. Moreover, We have calculated direct photon production in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/u within this model. The direct photon slope from the microscopic calculation equals that from a hydrodynamical calculation without a phase transition in the equation of state of the photon source.
- Antiflow of nucleons at the softest point of the EoS (1999)
- Report-no: UFTP-492/1999 Journal-ref: Phys.Rev. C61 (2000) 024909 We investigate flow in semi-peripheral nuclear collisions at AGS and SPS energies within macroscopic as well as microscopic transport models. The hot and dense zone assumes the shape of an ellipsoid which is tilted by an angle Theta with respect to the beam axis. If matter is close to the softest point of the equation of state, this ellipsoid expands predominantly orthogonal to the direction given by Theta. This antiflow component is responsible for the previously predicted reduction of the directed transverse momentum around the softest point of the equation of state.

continued All retirement contracts with current village employees would be terminated, but village specific post-employee benefits like health care would continue to be provided to employees who retire prior to dissolution.
Employees transferred to one of the towns would assume the benefits provided by that town.
And then there is the price of dissolution itself.
Weidemann estimated that dissolution would cost village residents between $20,000 and $25,0000 , which includes both legal and accounting fees, appraisals, and costs related to the termination of former employees.
To cover the cost, the village could seek a grant from the New York State department of state's local government efficiency grant program.
Keeseville Mayor Dale Holderman also announced that a petition, initiated and signed by registered voters in the village, was turned in to the village's town clerk Sept. 25.
The petition contained 122 signatures, 119 of which were verified as registered voters. The amount of signatures is more than the 10 percent of registered voter signatures required to force the issue of dissolution to a village-wide vote.
"The board of trustees was very pleased the petition came in because now the weight is off their shoulders, and that's the way I wanted it to go anyway," Holderman said.
Holderman has spoken out against dissolution, and even went as far as to include a letter to that effect with the village's September water bill.
The final public dissolution meeting will be held Oct. 17, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Keeseville Firehouse.

Cervantes, Velizquez, bringing civilization to the New World.

I particularly liked his coverage of De Soto, whose destructive path serves as proof point for Black Legend proponents.
Although no Black Legend has been popularized about Portuguese colonization, the extermination and enslavement of the native population equaled the exploits of Spanish conquerors.
The cruelty of the conquerors gave rise to the Black Legend, popularized by Protestant European states in their wars against Spain.
In Spain During my college years I frequently found myself in trouble with certain professors, ardent Presbyterians mostly, who promulgated with vigour the notorious Black Legend, which held that Spanish culture, especially as manifested in Spain's colonies in the New World, was somehow degeria~rate and certainly less moral than what either England or France exhibited in their territories.

As part of DTP's Molecular Targets Program, samples of protein, DNA, and RNA from human tumor cell lines are distributed to the intramural and extramural research communities. Cell lines also are sent to extramural researchers who measure the expression levels of various proteins or determine the status (e.g., wild type or mutant) of certain oncogenes. By using these measurements, DTP can determine whether the sensitivity of the set of human tumor cell lines is related to the expression levels of the compound that was measured.
Once the results are collected, the molecular target data are posted to the DTP website. The program's goal is to correlate anticancer activity with molecular target measurements to identify cell lines with desired characteristics and to perform this work at a low cost. Since the early 1990s, nearly 300 research groups have contributed to the molecular characterization of the NCI-60 panel of human tumor cell lines, which the DTP uses to screen potential new agents for anticancer activity. To date, over 300,000 measurements have been completed, with 132,000 available to the public.

Water, water everywhere
Heavy rainfall Monday night closed or blocked roads, flooded areas and closed schools across Sevier County, according to officials.
The National Weather Service reported rainfall amounts up to 3 inches Tuesday and predicted 1-2 inches Tuesday night and this morning. A flood warning remains in effect for Sevier County through the evening.
The Little Pigeon River crested at 10.8 feet Monday night. As of Tuesday afternoon, the current crest was 9.8 feet, and the weather service predicted it to crest, worst-case, at 13 feet last night.
Road closures and flooded areas at some point on Tuesday, according to Sevier County Emergency Management Agency (SCEMA):
n In Sevierville: Burden Hill Road bridge closed; flooding on Apple Valley Road, both entrances to Whites School Road, and River Divide Road.
n In Pigeon Forge: River Divide Road blocked; Bud Lane, Tiger Drive, and both ends of Willow View closed; trees and power lines down in areas of 425 and 437 Sugar Hollow Rd.; flooding on Golden Circle Drive/Bud Lane, Oldham Creek/Boogertown Road, River Divide Road, and Battle Hill Road area.
n In Gatlinburg: Excess runoff water caused the partial collapse of Stone Fence Lane. Three rental cabins had to be evacuated.
n In Seymour: Happy Creek/Heather Lane closed; flooding on Long Branch Road/Heather Lane.
n In Pittman Center: Webb Creek and River Song Way evacuated.
n In English Mountain: Flooding on Jones Cove Road/Camp Hollow Road.
The American Red Cross Disaster Action Team opened a shelter at the Pigeon Forge Community Center for anyone who has to evacuate due to flooding. The Disaster Action Team in Blount County has set up a shelter at Tuckaleechee United Methodist Church, 7322 Tuckaleechee Rd., in Townsend.
No injuries were reported, but one reported rescue situation occurred around 10:15 p.m. Monday in the parking lot behind Tanger Five Oaks Outlet Center in Sevierville, according to Sevierville Public Information Officer Bob Stahlke. City police officers and firefighters responded to a call from a woman who said she was sitting on her vehicle in the parking lot near the swollen Little Pigeon River.
Stahlke said one female and one male, who worked at the outlet center, drove their respective cars into standing water in the parking lot, and realized they couldn't go further once the water was at door-level. A firefighter returned both drivers, whose names were not given, to dry land.
"It was not a swift-water rescue, but the bottom line is she did the right thing by calling and not getting into that water," Stahlke said. "Fortunately neither one was injured. The cars were damaged, but the lesson is to not drive into the water."
SCEMA Director John Mathews echoed that sentiment and encouraged people to use caution, especially while conditions continue to change.
"Please use caution on roadways. Don't try to cross roads that have water running across them," Mathews said. "Don't put your life and the lives of others in danger."
Sevier County Schools were closed Tuesday due to heavy rainfall and flooding, making some roads impassable and driving conditions poor.
"It would not have been safe for us to transport students on buses, so in the best interest of the students, (Superintendent) Dr. (Jack) Parton made the decision to close the schools today," Assistant Superintendent Debra Cline said Tuesday. "We'll have to wait and see whether the water goes down and what the conditions will be in the morning. We hope they improve greatly."
Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic closed early on Tuesday due to flooding and will also be closed today.

No bats for Central
It was quick game that lasted right around 90 minutes as R-S Central (14-7, 8-5 SMAC) and Burns (14-5, 8-2 SMAC) each managed just three hits apiece Wednesday night in Rutherfordton. Unfortunately for Central, Burns' three hits accounted for two runs while they were held scoreless in a 2-0 loss to the Bulldogs.
Burns pitcher Ethan Carpenter had his way with the Hilltoppers lineup striking out 10 batter in a complete-game effort.
Central starter Conner Dailey nearly matched Carpenter going a full seven innings as well but the Burns hits did something Central just didn't, score runs.
"Conner [Dailey] pitched well tonight and we played good defense but we just didn't hit," Central head coach Chadd Fowler said. "Hopefully were due come playoff time."
Central put runners on the corners in the third inning but a nifty first-and-third play by the Bulldogs erased Dailey at the plate erasing the threat and keeping the game scoreless.
Burns didn't threaten until the fifth against Dailey who allowed solid contact the entire but always had his defense making the plays behind him.
In the fifth however, a leadoff single and a costly error allowed Burns' Phillip Black to rope a double into right-center field just out of the reach of a diving Brent McCollum. Two Bulldogs raced home to take a 2-0 lead.
"Dailey pitched a heck of a game and probably deserved a better fate but one hit was the difference in the game tonight."
Central managed just one baserunner the final three innings as the Bulldogs closed out the win.
"We just need to keep competing at the plate and keep having quality at-bats," Fowler said.
Tyler Morgan, Lance Green and Dailey each had a hit for the Hilltoppers.
Central returns to action Monday night as they travel to Shelby for a non-conference battle. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

In the age of Google Maps and global positioning systems, printed maps already seem like a quaint relic of a forgotten past. But not so long ago, they were invaluable tools. Scholars and students relied on them to provide insight into lands they had never seen. Sailors and travelers staked their lives on their accuracy. But most used them simply to get about.
Few people on the planet know more about the history and importance of maps than Giovanni De Agostini Jr., a map-maker, publisher and direct descendant of the famous Italian cartographer, Giovanni De Agostini.
Giovanni Jr. made a visit to Jakarta recently to open "The 150th Anniversary of Italian Unity and the De Agostinis' Cartography" exhibition at the Galeri Nasional Indonesia on Friday.
The show, which runs through Sunday, features 24 reproductions of maps and three original atlases produced by Giovanni Sr., his son, Frederico de Agostini, and his grandson, the visiting Giovanni Jr.
Giovanni Sr. was a pioneer of modern cartography. Born in 1863 in Pollone, Italy, Agostini studied cartography at the University of Turin before leaving the country to apprentice under masters in Berlin, Leipzig and Gotha in Germany.
During that time, Italy relied heavily on maps made in Germany.
In 1901, Giovanni Sr. returned to Rome and founded his own publishing company, the De Agostini Geographic Institute (IGDA). He was one of the first in his profession to use lithographic stones to print maps and atlases in Italy. Thanks to his skills and innovations, Italy no longer had to rely on foreign charts.
Giovanni Sr.'s most famous works were his 1904 "Calendario Atlante" (Atlas Calendar) and the 1922 "Grande Atlante de Geografico" ("Complete Geographical Atlas").
A love for mapmaking seems to run in the family for the De Agostinis.
Giovanni Sr.'s brother, Alberto Maria De Agostini, was a missionary of the Don Bosco order. In 1910, when he was assigned to Patagonia, South America, he became enchanted with the region's riches, both natural and cultural.
During his 40 years of service on the continent, Alberto scaled mountain peaks and explored the seas in his search for knowledge. At the end of his life, he left a rich legacy of over 60 books written in Italian, German and Spanish. He had also helped Giovanni Sr. draw and edit detailed maps of South America.
Alberto's 1933 documentary film, "Terre Magellaniche" ("Magellan Land"), one of the first documentaries ever made in South America, is also featured in the exhibition.
Giovanni Sr.'s eldest son, Frederico, joined the family company in 1927. Working alongside his father, Frederico developed new cartographic printing techniques by replacing lithographic stones with Astralon plastic supports. This new technology drastically reduced the amount of manpower required to produce maps.
"It used to take my grandfather approximately four to six months with a team of 20 people to make one map," Giovanni Jr. said. "With [my father's] new technology, it took about the same time, but with only six people."
Frederico produced wall maps, atlases and encyclopedias. His most famous work, published in 1971, is "Imago Mundi" ("Image of the World"), an encyclopedia in 14 volumes containing information about the geography, climate, flora and fauna of many parts of the world.
Giovanni Jr. said he was inspired by his father, great uncle and grandfather.
"I myself am like a cocktail of all of them," Giovanni Jr., 66, said of his forebears. "I'm a little bit of everything — explorer, geographer and cartographer."
Giovanni Jr. joined the family business when he was 19 years old. But his interests in cartography developed long before that.
"When I was six, my father made me sit on his lap to look at the globe," he said. "Together, we saw the countries of the world being depicted as part of one spherical object. He also showed me the maps he was drawing with his team. It was simply fascinating."
Giovanni Jr. further simplified cartographic production. He introduced the technique of creating maps by using photosensitive plastic sheets (to replace the Astralon) and photo-typesetting, so that they no longer had to write the names of places by hand.
"Now it only takes two to three months, using a team of two or three people, to produce one of our maps," he said.
His most famous works include "Map of the Moon" ("Studi Geocartografici") published in 1967, "Historical Atlas of Islam" (1988) and "Road Map of Italy" (2008, a 1:1 millionth scale representation of the country's road network).
Now over 100 years old, the De Agostini Geographic Institute has branched out from cartography to book publishing, television production and gaming services. But mapmaking is what the Italian company is built on and will always be known for.
"I'm so proud to have the master of cartography here with us now,'' said Roberto Palmieri, the Italian ambassador to Indonesia. "His and his family's works genuinely represent the unification of Italy.''
The unification of Italy was a series of events that produced a united Italian peninsula under the Kingdom of Italy on March 17, 1861.
Featured in the exhibition is the 1943 "Imago Italiae" (Image of Italy), an atlas containing 19 geopictorial maps of Italy's different regions.
As Giovanni Sr.'s final masterpiece, the full-color atlas beautifully portrays the natural beauty, monuments and cultural attractions of each region.
"It's a rare view,'' said Giovanna Jatropelli, director of the Italian Culture Institute of Jakarta (IICJ). "They're historical pieces that mark the changes in Italy. But beyond that, they're historical witnesses that will last into the future."
"The exhibition shows a good level of collaboration between grandfather, uncle, father and son," said Sukendra Martha, the main researcher for the National Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping (BKSPN).
"And it's not only about Italy," he added. "We can also see the whole world, including Indonesia, represented in these maps."
Among the 24 panels on display at the National Gallery are Giovanni Jr.'s "Atlas of Islamic History in Indonesia" (1980) his father's "Physiographic Map of Indonesia" and "Pictorial Map of Indonesia," both produced in 1960.
"It's interesting to see how Indonesia was represented in the old maps," said Nurul Khakim, chairman of the Center for Maritime Resources and Technology Studies (PSSTK) at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta.
"We can see the old names and places and realize how much they have changed now," he added.
In the maps created by Frederico De Agostini in 1960, the cities of Bogor and Jakarta are labeled with their Dutch names, Buitenzorg and Batavia.
Frederico's 1960 "Pictorial Map of Indonesia" drew lots of attention at the exhibition opening due to its portrayal of traditional houses, costumes and monuments from every part of Indonesia.
The pictorial map also displays Indonesia's coat of arms, the Garuda Pancasila, and the Indonesian flag.
"I had an idea of Indonesia before coming here,'' Giovanni Jr. said. "But it's completely different from what I'm seeing now. It's a country that has been progressing really well.''
Despite the many maps that the De Agostinis have made of Indonesia, Giovanni Jr. is the first family member to actually set foot in the country. His father's maps were created using data gathered by land surveyors, researchers and photographers.
"We've only been here for three days now,'' said Minori De Agostini, Giovanni Jr.'s wife, at the exhibition opening. "And we're already in love with the Indonesian people and the food.''
"The food can be a bit spicy, but it's OK,'' Giovanni Jr. said with a smile.
The committed map-maker is now in the process of putting together a book about the life and work of his grandfather, with the help of his wife. The book aims to tell the history of modern cartography.
"The old cartography is finished," Giovanni Sr. said, adding that new technologies still needed to learn from the knowledge of the past.
For example, he said maps generated from digital satellite images were not always correctly interpreted due to the different software used to create them.
"Today, most maps are produced by graphic artists, not by cartographers. That's the problem," he said.
Nurul from UGM agreed that today's map-makers needed to learn from the past.
"In my opinion, modern technology and old cartographic techniques should walk hand-in-hand," he said. "Satellites may capture rough images of large objects. Yet, for pin-point accuracy, we still have to rely on the old techniques.
"Without cartographers, these modern technologies are useless."

Summit Utility Structures LLC, a manufacturer of parts and infrastructure for the power line transmission industry, will renovate an existing site to serve as its headquarters in Allentown, adding at least 42 new jobs at this site.
Gov. Tom Corbett made the announcement Tuesday.
Summit Utility Structures will manufacture anchor bolt assemblies, steel davit arms and substation infrastructure for the power line transmission industry at its new 28,000-square-foot site in Allentown. The company said it will invest more than $1.94 million to support the expansion through building construction, acquisition of equipment and furniture.
The company received a funding offer from the Governor's Action Team which included an $18,900 Guaranteed Free Training grant to be used to train its new workforce and a $930,000 low-interest loan from the Machinery and Equipment Loan Fund to be repaid in 10 years.
The Governor's Action Team is made up of a group of economic development professionals who work directly with businesses that are considering locating or expanding in Pennsylvania. The state group coordinated the project with the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation.
Don Cunningham, president and CEO of LVEDC, said today that the agency worked with Summit Utility Structures to process and handle the loan for machinery and equipment, which he described as a useful tool to incentivize manufacturing.
Cunningham said news of the expansion is significant because it shows the continuation of growth in the manufacturing sector in the Lehigh Valley.
"I tend to look at this as a core industry for the Lehigh Valley," Cunningham said. "This is continuing that trend of making heavy equipment. It's a growing part of the base here."
A lot of smaller shop manufacturers are showing an interest in locating in the Lehigh Valley.
Steve Kratz, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, said the owners of this company previously owned Summit Manufacturing in Luzerne County. The Allentown site marks a new venture for the company.

Derby's Al-Madinah School parents protest to Government over secondary closure
Posted: February 14, 2014|
ANXIOUS parents of pupils at Derby's failing Al-Madinah School have written to the Government demanding to know why the decision was taken to close its secondary section.
They say that not enough time has been given to the new trust board, which took over two weeks ago after the founding trustee members were forced to resign or watch the school close, to make improvements.
The Parents and Friends of Al-Madinah School – a free faith school – was formed after a damning inspection report was published in October calling it "dysfunctional" and "in chaos".
In their letter to schools minister Lord Nash, the PFA accuses the Department for Education of ignoring requests for consultation before changes were made and of playing out "our children's futures in the media yet again without considering their emotional and social well-being".

The situation was further exacerbated earlier this week when no representative from the DfE was present at a meeting for parents at the school in Nelson Street, as had been expected.
The PFA letter states: "We feel frustrated that our questions could not be addressed to the personnel who made these decisions as this would have provided the DfE an opportunity to explain the logic behind the decision to close the secondary school."
The group also questions Lord Nash's reasons for closing the secondary section such as insufficient breadth in the curriculum but does agree that there needs to be improvement in the quality of teaching.
The letter concludes with a request to appeal against Lord Nash's decision because they "feel justice has not been done" for their children.
The primary section of the school is set to continue and will move from its present location in Friar Gate to Nelson Street in the next 10 days.
The secondary section is due to close at the end of the summer term leaving up to 130 children to find alternative school places.

Well, Caroline is such a sweetie that doing something like that would upset HER more than her opponent. But as a rule I don't mind a little gamesmanship. I started following tennis when it was more or less accepted as part of the game. Today everyone is so nice that judging by the way players behave you'd never know that it was professional sports. Not that I have a problem with that, but I didn't have a problem with Hingis, Capriati, or even Connors or McEnroe either. The whole of TF explodes at every tiny incident that can hardly be called an incident. They are so desperate for something to happen that they can't resist to make something out of nothing. Everyone pretends to hate that stuff but everyone really loves it. Just look at the whole commotion about Serena and Sloane. Or even that Coco chick vs Putintseva on twitter. Everyone loves a grudge match, whether they are honest enough to admit it or not. Imagine that Serena, Vika and Maria brought out their inner-Jimmy Connors and started talking trash about each other. Ratings for womens tennis would go through the roof, no doubt about it.

Patterns of closeness and independence
Intimacy and autonomy are independent dimensions, and it is their combination that counts.
The qualities in each category, imperfectly summarized by a single word, characterize both types of individuals and, more importantly, states of mind we all transit:
- Integrated – Comfortable and skillful with both closeness and agency; able both to carry others in her heart while pursuing her own aims, and to be completely authentic in the most intimate moments; symbolically, "you" and "I" are about the same size.
- Engulfed – Highly connected, but not free to act or express himself fully; giving up "me" is price to be "we;" unnecessarily dependent; clutching, beseeching, placating; could resist encouragement to

Intimacy and autonomy working together
Intimacy and autonomy are channels for expressing your natural goodness. For example, being kind toward someone naturally involves both an affinity with that person and a certain autonomy for the kindness to be genuine.
Besides its obvious rewards in everyday life, intimacy supports personal growth and spiritual practice through bringing you into relationship with things. Into relationship with your innermost experience and that of the people around you: the joys and sorrows, the suffering and its causes and what leads to its ending. Into compassion, kindness, and service: Love thy neighbor as thyself. Into relationship with a supportive community. And – if it's meaningful to you – into relationship with … Read more »

Trance of "Unreal Other"
The truth is: without a genuine willingness to let in the suffering of others, our spiritual practice remains empty.
Father Theophane, a Christian mystic, writes about an incident that happened when he took some time off from his secular duties for spiritual renewal at a remote monastery. Having heard of a monk there who was widely respected for his wisdom, he sought him out. Theophane had been forewarned that this wise man gave advice only in the form of questions. Eager to receive his own special contemplation, Theophane approached the monk: "I am a parish priest and am here on retreat. Could you give me a question to meditate on?"… Read more »

Buddhism, a religion or not?
Merlyn Seeley, examiner.com: It is one of the debates that has been around for decades, maybe longer. Sometimes it rears its ugly head and other times it lies dormant waiting on it's next moment to shine. Referring to the debate of whether Buddhism is a religion or not, we take a look at recent news articles. According to the Gaurdian, in an article dated October 7, Michael McGhee, a renowned Gaurdian.com philosopher, talks about his views as to whether or not Buddhism should be referred to as a religion or a spiritual practice.

Benchmarks of spiritual practice
Here is a list of 12 benchmarks of spiritual practice (Saskia Davis's Symptoms of Inner Peace) with examples of how I work with them. This list is also a way to know that our spiritual practice is bearing fruit.
1. An increased tendency to allow things happen rather than make them happen
As a mom of two children I spent many years trying to make things happen. I wanted my children to act in certain ways, eat certain foods, choose certain clothing, etc. etc. As they got older and I watched myself trying to be "in control", I realized I could trust them to be themselves.

EDMOND, Okla. — There's a new cutting edge tool to help Oklahomans get in shape. A local health center is now the first in the state, and only one of five facilities in the nation to get what's called a Fit3D.
It's a tool which can be used to not only help you track your weight, but one that could help employers as well.
From the outside it doesn't look like much, but step into the tent and there is a new way to track your progress at the gym.
The Fit3D is now a part of the Key Health Institute of Edmond.
Patrick Wellington, with Key Health Institute of Edmond, said, "Just stepping on the scale can be frustrating for people beginning a new plan."
Preventing that frustration is one advantage of this machine.
Key Health Institute of Edmond, formerly known as Transformation Fitness, is the first in the state and the region to have one of these machines.
Wellington said, "Any type of member coming in moving forward will be able to use the machine in order to track results."
The machine works together with each client. First, their weight is entered in the computer. They then step onto the machine. It slowly spins around taking a series of pictures to create a 3D image, an avatar, of a person's body.
Wellington says often those trying to lose weight or inches get discouraged because the numbers on the scale doesn't change.
With this machine you can track your avatars every couple of weeks to see exactly how your body is changing despite those numbers on the scale.
Wellington said, "It's just a different type of motivator when you see a 3D image of yourself and two weeks later you see them side by side."
Not only is it great for those looking to transform their body, but employers can partner with the facility as part of their company wellness program.
Allen Glass, with Key Health Institute, said, "Essentially they would be using the Fit3D for their employee base to measure how they progress throughout the year."
Wellington said, "Our state obviously has a high population of obesity, overweight, early onset diabetes."
Key Health Institute says they, along with the creator of the machine, hope this can be one more tool to help those in our state get fit.
One note, they encourage clients who are getting scanned to where tight fitting clothing to get the best results.
The machine takes measurements as it spins and if your clothing is too lose those measurements can be slightly off.

Jailbreak apps is to iOS, as root apps is to Android! The users of Android have been offered more since the beginning, thanks to the OS being open source. The Android market doesn't have strict guidelines like Apple's App Store and anyone can submit an app there. But, sometimes, apps are removed for no apparent reason from the Android market too.
The idea of a root App Store for Android users sounds exciting, something like Cydia for iOS. Of course, you would need to have a rooted Android device to install root apps. This App Store will not be affiliated to Google and thus include root apps, Custom ROMS and banned or removed apps from the Android market. This news comes from Koushik Dutta, a member of the CyanogenMod team, who recently wrote about it on his Google+ page.
I've been bouncing this idea around for a while now, and it seems like an even better idea now, given my recent brush with this problem: we need an App Store for root apps. We also need an app store for apps that are getting shut down for no good reason, other than carrier, or some random corporation doesn't like it.
A one stop App Store consisting of root apps, ROMS and other banned/removed apps does sound interesting and will help users looking to customize their Android devices. We have no idea when the work would actually start, but Android users will soon be getting a Cydia like App Store for sure.

Best New Restaurant St. Louis 2007 - Franco
1535 S. Eighth St.
St. Louis, MO 63104
Readers' Choice: Franco
Owner Tom Schmidt and executive chef Justin Keimon didn't reinvent the wheel when they opened Franco late last year in Soulard's stately old Welsh Baby Carriage Factory. The menu fits squarely into the lightly French-accented modern bistro mold so beloved by the city's better restaurants. Though you might order sweetbreads, foie gras or frogs' legs, even the most conservative palate will find something to love: steak frites, braised lamb, steamed mussels. Yet Schmidt, Keimon and their staff pull off this tried-and-true formula with élan: The utterly beautiful dining room has a cosmopolitan sparkle, servers understand your surprise and joy to see something like sweetbreads on the menu, and if Schmidt himself doesn't deliver your dinner, he'll probably stop by your table to say hi. In a year when so many new restaurants were either too timid in their offerings or too concerned with the PR push behind their launch, Franco is a bracing reminder of what makes dining out so enjoyable to begin with: It's a celebration of good food, good wine and good company.

Remember the Myriad case, where a number of Medical Associations and individual doctors — assisted by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Public Patent Foundation — sued Myriad for a declaration that Myriad's BRCA diagnostic testing patents were invalid because they were directed to unpatentable subject matter under § 101 of the Patent Code? If not, see our July 29, 2011 post to refresh your recollection.
In Myriad, a panel of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals held that Myriad's isolated BRCA DNA claims patentable under § 101, but its method claims for analyzing patients for mutations in these genes unpatentable. Having just found Prometheus's claims to a different type of diagnostic test unpatentable under § 101, the Supreme Court has now remanded the Myriad case, which had been subject of a pending writ of certiorari, back to the Federal Circuit with instructions to reconsider in light of Mayo v. Prometheus.
It will be very interesting to see whether the Federal Circuit panel chooses to interpret Prometheus v. Mayo broadly enough to reverse its decision that claims to isolated DNA sequences are patentable. Judge Lourie's opinion in Myriad held that isolated DNA sequences are patentable because "BRCA1 and BRCA2 in their isolated state are not the same molecules as DNA as it exists in the body; human intervention in cleaving or synthesizing a portion of a native chromosomal DNA imparts on that isolated DNA a distinctive chemical identity from that possessed by native DNA." Slip Op. at 42. This "distinctive chemical identity" test seems a slender reed now that the Supreme Court rejected the Federal Circuit's holding in Mayo that the human interventions of "administering" a drug and "determining" its levels in the body conferred patentability to Prometheus's claims.

NBC News Launches Campaign to Promote Hiring of Veterans
by Adam Buckman | March 21, 2012 at 11:10 AM | TV News
NBC News is joining forces with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to help military veterans land jobs here at home.
More than a million veterans are unemployed, according to current figures, and the Chamber of Commerce has been trying to help out with a campaign called "Hiring Our Heroes," which asks that potential employers around the country move qualified veterans to the top of their lists of candidates for available positions, in return for the sacrifices the vets and their families have made in the U.S. war efforts overseas.
And now, the Chamber's program is getting a big shot in the arm from NBC News, which is featuring the "Hiring Our Heroes" program across all of its NBC network shows ("Today," "Nightly News," "Meet the Press," "Rock Center," "Dateline") and the news channels it owns, MSNBC and CNBC.
The "NBC News: Hiring Our Heroes" program was announced Monday. There's also a Spanish-language component, with NBC-owned Telemundo also participating. The campaign is also being promoted on various NBC-owned Web sites. (This Xfinity Web site, owned by NBC parent company Comcast, is part of the same corporate family.)
Watch: Hiring Our Heroes Unlocks the Potential of Our Vets:
The series kicks off officially this Sunday, March 25, on "Sunday Today" and culiminates a few days later, on Wednesday (March 28) with a live Job Fair to be broadcast live on the "Today" show from the USS Intrepid on Manhattan's West Side. More than 100 companies are expected to participate in the event. More information on that — particularly how vets can participate — can be found here.
Another highlight we're looking forward to: Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw — who's also the author of the influential book about World War II, "The Greatest Generation" — returning to NBC on Monday's "Today" show to present a report on how U.S. veterans have fared throughout our history.
Watch: Young Veterans Share Their Skills, Dreams on "Today":
Watch: Comcast and NBC Universal Will Hire 1,000 Veterans:

Castle and Beckett investigate a case nobody could have seen coming, except for maybe the psychic who was stabbed to death with an ice pick.
Vivien Marchand was found dead and stuffed into a sleeper-sofa by her daughter, Penny. Clients Paula and Marina Casillas were two of the last to see Vivian alive. They had an appointment to chat with their dead husband/father, Emilio. Who says families don't talk to each other anymore?
The team gets hold of a letter from Vivien that was dated the day of her death. It describes details from the crime scene. Castle loves this. He says, "The psychic predicted her own murder!" Beckett, however, suspects the note was written by the killer to throw the police off track. She's such a skeptic.
A man named Steve Adams confronted Vivien as a part of a plan concocted by Cody, the producer of the reality show "You've Ruined My Life." Catchy title, right? Steve believes Vivian's bogus psychic clues got him wrongly accused of murder. Vivien asked Cody to bury the incriminating TV footage he shot. In exchange, she'd give him the opportunity to film her confronting a murderer.
Castle and Beckett use Cody's reality show footage to track the taxi Vivien took that day. She went to the home of Toni Johnston, who says Vivien showed up from out of the blue and knew that she was cheating on her husband, Nick. Toni says her lover told Vivien everything in a dream. Who's her lover, you ask? It's Emilio Casillas, the deceased husband and father of Paula and Marina!
Emilio's autopsy report shows signs of selenium poisoning. Since Emilio and Nick worked together at a vitamin factory, Castle and Beckett theorize that Nick might have poisoned Emilio. Nick says he went to Vivien's office (at her request), but nobody answered the door. He knew about his wife's affair with Emilio, who said he would leave his wife for Toni. But the guy had a heart attack before that could happen.
Penny tells Beckett that she inherited some of her mom's psychic ability. She says Beckett will meet someone named Alexander and he will be extremely important to her. Skeptic Beckett doesn't know anyone named Alexander. Penny returns with another psychic message. She had a dream where she and Vivien were eating dinner in a Masonic hall, and mom urged her to "ask the Masons what happened." Hmm.
As it turns out, Paula and Marina were having dinner at a place called Mason's the night of Vivien's murder. Paula left for a spell to snag some wine. Beckett says they checked with the liquor store. Paula's receipt shows a purchase made hours earlier in the day for wine and an ice pick.
Castle explains that Paula hid the wine, left dinner, killed Vivien with the ice pick, and then returned to the restaurant. She murdered Vivien out of fear that the psychic would expose the earlier murder of her cheating husband. So, Castle and Beckett solve the case but still can't agree on who wrote that mysterious letter.
Castle is a big believer in the possibility of fate, psychics, unicorns and the like. Beckettâ¦not so much. She may have to adjust her belief system though when Castle reveals his middle name is Alexander. Isn't that the name of the important man Penny said would be coming into Beckett's life? Maybe, just maybe, he's already there.
In other news, Martha receives a proposal of marriage from her steady beau, Chet. She's sporting a pretty big diamond engagement ring even though she hasn't said yes. Martha knows that she'll have to return the ring since the magic is gone. Sadly, Chet passes away before she can see him again.
Martha feels horrible that she was all set to break a dear man's heart. Fortunately, Castle is there to comfort her. By not rejecting Chet's proposal right away, he says she gave the guy one more day of hope. This seems to make Martha feel a little bit better. She says, "Richard, whatever mistakes I made in my lifeâ¦I raised a good man." Agreed.

Minor in Accounting
Frequently Asked Questions
What is required for a minor in Accounting?
Fifteen upper-division hours (3000+) of Accounting courses are required. You must take Intermediate I and II, Cost Accounting, and Auditing & Assurance. You may then choose either Advanced Accounting or Taxation I as your fifth course.
Do I have to "declare" a minor?
No. Nothing is required to you to take courses towards a minor. When you get ready to graduate, you will list the minor on your petition to graduate. Including the minor on the petition to graduate is the only administrative action required for the minor.
Having said that, it is to your strong advantage "declare" the minor even though it is not required. That way, Degree Works keeps track of your progress towards the minor as well as your major. To declare your minor, just send an email to the registrar's office with your name, student ID, and a note telling him you plan to get the Business Administration minor and he will code it into Degree Works for you.
I am majoring in IET and I have to take ACCT 2101 as part of my major. Can I count this towards my minor in Accounting?
Yes. SPSU allows courses like these to be double-counted, once towards your major and again towards your minor. In fact, a course can be counted towards the major and multiple minors if it fits in more than one minor.
Do I have to take all the courses for the minor at SPSU?
No. According to the undergraduate catalog:
"To receive a minor, a student must complete at least six hours of the upper division requirements for the minor at Southern Polytechnic State University. Transfer credit may be used to satisfy the other requirements for the minor. Specific courses for minors are listed at the end of the curricula section of this catalog."
What that means is that at least two of your upper division (3000+) minor courses must be taken at SPSU. The others can be transferred in from other schools.
Can I count cross-registration courses towards my minor?
Yes. As far as SPSU is concerned, cross-registered courses are treated exactly the same as courses taken at SPSU.
Can I count 6000-level MGNT courses towards a minor?
No. 6000-level courses are graduate courses and cannot be used towards an undergraduate degree. In addition, undergraduate students are not allowed to take MGNT 6000-level courses. There is no graduate minor in Accounting.

Key Elements
Bright Palette "Shocking pink and warm grey-taupe raw plaster became our colour beacons," says Hamilton Brown.
Wall Tattoo Made from organic colourants and reclaimed metals, the tattoo prevented the space from becoming too pretty. The wall finish beneath the tattoo is a mixture of clay and stone, adding texture to the long space.
Benches "Upholstered benches hold the eye and soften the edge of this linear space."

Texas on the Potomac
Perry out of race, but security bills still rising
When will Texas hold its primaries? State Republicans are deeply divided
"Perry, Dewhurst and the party all want to have the March 6 primary on its scheduled date. Assuming Perry is still in the (GOP presidential) race, Texas could be helpful to him," said Cal Jillson, who predicted that turnout could drop by half in legislative and congressional races if they were moved to May primary.[Read More]
Analysis: Rick Perry's entry reshuffles the GOP presidential deck
"Everything that is being said about Rick Perry right now was said about (former Tennessee Sen.) Fred Thompson four years ago," says Fergus Cullen, a New Hampshire Republican activist who has not endorsed any candidate. "It can be very hard to live up to the hype, and Governor Perry has gotten a lot of hype."[Read More]
Analysis: "No question, Perry is shaking up the race"
The Texas governor with fancy boots and a swagger to match has caught the imagination of many Republicans dissatisfied with the longerstanding field of hopefuls, particularly in a year they see as a rare opportunity to take on an incumbent president with voters worried over their jobs, their investments and the country's economic future.
"No question, Perry is shaking up the race," said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "Since the beginning of the year, we've expected somebody else to jump in since many Republicans were unhappy about the field. Now we know who is filling the void."[Read More]
Analysis: When Rick Perry's states' rights rhetoric meets Religious Right dogma
"Texans are tolerant of much more ambiguity in their politicians — and much more remote and partial answers — than will be permitted by the rest of the country," said Cal Jillson, Southern Methodist University professor of political science. "It's a different sense of a politician's responsibility to the electorate."[Read More]
Anti-spending Texas House Republicans are more generous with staff bonuses
The Republicans' payouts contrasted with Houston's three House Democrats who said they did not provide holiday-season bonuses because they preferred providing consistent monthly paychecks or had rejected bonuses because of the nation's economic ills.[Read More]
Analysis: Why Washington is talking a lot (but doing very little) on energy policy
They also agree, nearly every podium-hugging, media-blitzing chance they get, that the other side is to blame.
"As is so frequently the case, Congress seems more interested in partisan squabbling than in problem-solving," says Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University. "We have been talking about these issues since the Carter administration; it's time for something dramatic."[Read More]
Analysis: Bin Laden's death could prompt re-evaluation of Bush anti-terrorism record
Two days after bin Laden's terrorist operation killed more than 3,000 innocents, Bush declared, "We will not rest until we find him." It was Bush who authorized the CIA to use the harshest interrogation tactics in U.S. history. Then came Tora Bora, Gitmo, water boarding, rendition, terrorist strikes in London and Madrid, and more than 6,000 U.S. military casualties in twin wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Now that bin Laden has been killed by U.S. forces on a mission first assigned by President Bush, aided by evidence gained from the controversial "enhanced interrogation techniques" authorized by the former president, Bush's frustrating "mission impossible" has, in the dead of night, turned into "mission accomplished."[Read More]
