Below is a summary of recent cases out of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) Commercial Court, compiled by Harneys' Litigation team.
Ruling on the use and status of ancillary relief proceedings and forum non conveniens issues.
VTB Capital plc v Nutritek International Corp and ors BVIHC (Com) 103 of 2011, 18 September 2013
Following the dismissal of the English proceedings in the VTB v Nutritek litigation by the Supreme Court earlier this year on forum non conveniens grounds, the BVI Commercial Court has refused to lift a stay of the related BVI proceedings and has held that the BVI is not, in any event, the appropriate forum for the claim.
The BVI proceedings had initially been issued predominantly for the purpose of obtaining injunctive relief in support of the English proceedings, following the procedure commonly used prior to the Black Swan decision (see http://www.harneys.com/recent-experience/further-developments-in-black-swan-relief). Following that procedure, the BVI proceedings were issued in the form of a substantive claim but were immediately stayed in favour of the English proceedings. Bannister J described such ancillary relief proceedings as a device which "should not be used in future in cases where orders are sought in aid of foreign proceedings. It has no secure legal foundation and is calculated only to cause confusion". It was therefore not appropriate for such proceedings to be converted into substantive proceedings after the foreign proceedings had been dismissed.
Bannister J then ruled on a hypothetical jurisdictional challenge brought by the non-BVI defendants on forum non conveniens grounds. After considering the circumstances of the case, the Judge found that Russia, and not the BVI, was clearly the most appropriate forum for the claim. A major issue that followed from that was whether Russia was an "available" forum - Bannister J held that it was, despite some evidence that the Claimant may not be able to bring fraud claims there on technical grounds due to the interplay between the Russian Civil and Criminal Codes. However, most significantly for the purposes of BVI jurisprudence, Bannister J held that the mere fact that two out of the five parties were incorporated in the BVI was not sufficient to make the BVI the most appropriate forum, ruling that the existence of BVI companies as defendants to an action should only lead to a presumption that the BVI was the most appropriate forum where the proceedings related to the ownership or control, constitution or administration of those companies. An allegation that a BVI entity was involved in an alleged fraud was "neutral for forum purposes". This was particularly the case where the "real target" of the claim was a non-BVI resident.
"Wishful thinking: intention versus construction": BVI Court rules on the Construction of Trusts
The BVI court recently considered the construction of the Trust Deed of a BVI administered trust (the Trust). The Trust Deed listed a number of beneficiaries under the Trust defined as Specified Beneficiaries. Each Specified Beneficiary was listed with a percentage figure that purported to indicate their entitlement under the trust fund of the Trust (Percentage Entitlements). Harneys acted for the trustee (the Trustee) and brought an action for the court's assistance with interpretation of the Trust Deed and a declaration from the court that the Trustee is within its powers to amend the list of Specified Beneficiaries and the related Percentage Entitlements. The Trustee is in possession of a Letter of Wishes from the now deceased settlor, indicating his wish to amend the list of Specified Beneficiaries by deleting one name and adding two more, the Additional Beneficiaries, and to vary the Percentage Entitlements accordingly.
Mr Justice Bannister found that the Percentage Entitlements did not create a fixed interest in the trust fund of the Trust for the Specified Beneficiaries and that the trustees had a legitimate power to vary, amend and delete persons from the list of Specified Beneficiaries and the related Percentage Entitlements under the Trust Deed. Mr Justice Bannister made further comment on the construction of the Trust Deed considering the status of superadded terms and definitions in relation to those that exist in a typed precedent document. The Judge found that although the Specified Beneficiaries and Percentage Entitlements were "undoubtedly" unique to the Trust Deed, it did not follow that "those words of entitlement are to be accorded any special status of priority over the other provisions of the trust deed". The Judge found that it was not possible to infer the settlor's intention from this addition to the Trust Deed and that, because this Trust Deed is not a standard form commercial document in common use between merchants requiring completion or adaptation to conform it to the particular transaction in question, the typed/printed distinction therefore did not arise.
Exercising caution in the pleading of oral agreements – summary judgment:
Clearlie Todman-Brown v The National Bank of the Virgin Islands Limited, BVI HCV 64 of 2013, Byer J.
This case follows the recent line of BVI authority clarifying the scope of the Court's discretion in deciding whether to grant summary judgment under CPR 15. The Applicant was the defendant bank which sought to argue that the cause of action, as pleaded against it, was based on a bald assertion of an obligation owed by the bank and disclosed no viable claim.
The Court held that in making the requisite assessment for summary judgment, all of the evidence and pleadings as filed had to be taken into account. Having examined these in depth, the Court concluded that the lack of specificity in the pleadings surrounding the nature of the relevant agreement was a fatal flaw. In particular, any oral agreement must have pleaded specifics so the party against whom it is alleged can know the case against it. There would need to be an indication somewhere in the pleadings of when, where, in what manner, and the subject matter of nature of the agreement.
Approving the wording of the Saunders CJ(Ag) in Bank of Bermuda Ltd v Pentium, Civ App no 14 of 2003 BVI, at paragraph [18], the Court recognised that in exercising its discretion a judge should not allow a matter to proceed to trial where a party has produced nothing to persuade the court that there is a realistic prospect of success. Speculative claims should not be fostered or encouraged by the Court.
The application for summary judgment was therefore granted.

20 Worst Films of 2012
With all the fawning end-of-the-year kudos currently circulating, it's easy to forget that a sizable number of actual bad movies came out in 2012. Well, consider this a refresher.
From failed blockbuster tentpoles ("Battleship") to would-be hilarious comedies ("The Watch") to lame scare-challenged horror flicks ("The Apparition") to...uh, well, pretty much anything involving Tyler Perry, there's no doubt that the last 366 days have come with a heaping helping of truly heinous cinematic stinkers.
So what better time for an accounting of the year's most outrageous big-screen abominations than on the eve of the coming apocalypse? You're gonna have to make peace with the end of the world somehow - might as well do it by reminding yourself of just how bad things can get at the local multiplex.
Check out our selections for the 20 worst movies of 2012 in the gallery below, then share some of your own picks in the comments.

After Google's fourth quarter 2011 earnings missed estimates today, the company's shares fell more than nine percent in after-hours trading as of 4:30 PM in New York. Among those most hurt by the sudden drop in after-hours stock price are Google founders Larry Page–the company's CEO–and Sergey Brin.
The pair lost a combined $3 billion in two hours during after-hours trading. Google's stock, which closed at $639.57 on Thursday, fell sharply less than an hour after the markets closed. Though the company's revenues increased from same period a year before, analysts were expecting even better results. It's been a topsy-turvy 12 months for Google's stock–which fell below $500 only to recover.
Page and Brin, who Forbes estimates were worth $19.6 billion each as of Wednesday, both lost about $1.5 billion as Google's stock price plunged Thursday in after-hours trading.
Google's non-GAAP earnings per share were $9.50, up 8.6% from $8.75 a year ago. The company was expected to post non-GAAP earnings of $10.49 per share. The company posted GAAP revenue of $10.58 billion, up 25 perent compared to $8.44 billion a year ago.
As of 5:57 PM in New York, Google's after-hours stock price hovered around $582.99, down about 8.9 percent from the closing share price.

Sandy report details NY's storm needs
Posted at: 01/08/2013 3:15 PM
By: MICHAEL GORMLEY
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The full report by an expert panel examining Superstorm Sandy's effects in New York calls for quick, simple prevention measures for future storms including flood gates for tunnels, subways and airports as well as safe havens like old Civil Defense shelters. But it also calls for two more tunnels out of Manhattan, a rapid bus system and another Long Island Rail Road track.
The 205-page report obtained by The Associated Press details how to better pay for it all and improved insurance coverage for the state and residents.
Elements of the report were presented Thursday, but the report wasn't released publicly. The full report was delivered to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He is expected to include some recommendations in his State of the State speech Wednesday.
The report includes recommendations in use elsewhere, many at little or no cost.

Hamilton Family Center Shares in National Award Presented in New York City
The Mutual of America Community Partnership Award recognizes outstanding nonprofit organizations in the United States that have shown exemplary leadership by facilitating partnerships with public, private or social sector leaders who are working together as equal partners, not as donors and recipients, to build a cohesive community that serves as a model for collaborating with others for the greater good.
In November 2008, Hamilton Family Center was honored at a reception in New York City as a partner in the Family Eviction Prevention Consortium (FEPCO), along with Catholic Charities CYO, Homeless Prenatal Program, and Compass Community Services. The 4 agencies tcomprising FEPCO works collaboratively to prevent homelessness by providing rental assistance to families to stave off eviction and help those in shelters or substandard housing find permanent homes.
National Achievement Award
In 2007, Hamilton Family Center was honored at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. by the National Alliance to End Homelessness for our transformation from an organization focused on sheltering homeless families to one that ends homelessness for families. This transformation is causing a change in the way the City of San Francisco is approaching the issue. First Avenues: Housing Solutions for Families, launched in July 2006, rapidly re-houses families into permanent housing and was the first Housing-First for Families program in San Francisco.
Following a Housing-First philosophy, Hamilton Family Center is committed to reallocating resources to prevent families from ever entering shelter, providing temporary rental subsidies to keep families housed while they work to increase their income, rapidly re-housing families currently in shelter, and providing enhanced home-based support services to help families stay on track with their goals and maintain their homes.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Here's something most politicians can "like".
A new study suggests Facebook friends may have played a significant role in getting hundreds of thousands of people to vote in the last congressional election.
Researchers found that Facebook users who got messages on Election Day that their friends had voted were a bit more likely to go to the polls than those who didn't get the same reminder.
They say the effect multiplied and likely increased turnout by as many as 340,000 voters in 2010.
Outside experts say the new study fits with other research on get-out-the-vote drives. But they say the numbers may be a bit high.
The study is reported in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.

Read Poems by
Tom Bell
Of all the wonderful things
God did create,
By far the best
Is your father's mate
A mother gives
Unquestioning love
And raises her children
With a tender glove
When all others have
Their work done
She is still at work
With daughter and son
She asks for nothing
In return,
Except perhaps for her children
To somehow learn
What makes good
Better than bad
And therefore a life
Happy, not sad
No easy chore,
As we all know
But every mother
An extra mile will go.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Soup mothers, and, in fact, all mothers
everywhere. You are the foundation stone of civilization.

Boys and Girls Club gives gifts to area children
HUNTINGTON -- Christmas came early for children involved in the John W. Hereford Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington.
The organization hosted a Christmas party Tuesday evening for nearly 200 youth at its Guyandotte location, where the kids were treated to dinner, dessert and brand new toys.
"Every year we host a Christmas party and invite all the clubs in Huntington," said Mike Patick, executive director. "The board members and volunteers serve the food. At the end of the meal, (the kids) all pick a gift and it's based on attendance -- if you come here the most days, you get the first pick of what you want."
More than 300 toys and gifts were donated by Toys for Tots, Kohl's, HIMG, Elder-Beerman, the Greenbrier Dream Tree for Kids, the Marshall University football team, and Marshall football coach Doc Holliday and his wife.
Montara, 7, said she was excited to get a new toy and was hoping to get a baby doll for Christmas. Tatyanna, 10, said she wanted something like a bicycle.
Patick said the Christmas party, which has been hosted for several years, is important because many of the children they serve may not get any presents at home.
"They may live with a great-aunt or an older sister who can't give them a Christmas," he said. "But we're in a position to give them a Christmas and this is the best we can do as far as giving each kid a Christmas. At the very least, they'll get one gift."
The Boys and Girls Club served about 1,000 children last year, Patick said. Its two clubs located in Guyandotte and on 14th Street are open yearround except Saturdays. Anyone interested in donating or volunteering can call Patick at 304-523-5120.

(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)—Moravian College will host a lecture by renowned ethnobotanist Dr. Mark Plotkin, titled, "Medicine Quest: In Search Of Nature's Healing Secrets," on Thursday, April 26, 8:00 p.m., in Prosser Auditorium. A compelling storyteller, Plotkin interweaves his personal experiences as an ethnobotanist with the most fascinating scientific developments in medicine. The lecture is sponsored by Moravian College Arts and Lectures.
Plotkin will discuss adventure, anthropology, science, and his personal quest among the rain forest shamans for ancient medicines that may hold the cure to today's devastating diseases. In an era of environmental devastation and mass extinction Plotkin's message is all the more compelling as the rain forests are a great natural resource, and a natural storehouse that may promise cures to both known and unknown diseases.
Educated at Harvard, Yale, and Tufts Universities, Dr. Mark J. Plotkin is a renowned ethnobotanist. He has served as Research Associate in Ethnobotanical Conservation at the Botanical Museum of Harvard University, Director of Plant Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund, and Vice President of Conservation International in Washington DC. He currently serves as Research Associate at the Department of Botany of the Smithsonian Institution and Executive Director of the Ethnobiology and Conservation Team, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting biological and cultural diversity of the tropical rain forest. The author of numerous scientific papers and reports, Dr. Plotkin received the 1994 San Diego Zoo Gold Medal for Conservation, one of the top awards in the environmental field (previous winners include Jane Goodall, Sir David Attenborough, and HRH Prince Philip).
A spellbinding orator and storyteller, Dr. Plotkin and his work have been featured in a PBS Nova documentary, in an Emmy-winning Fox TV documentary, on the NBC Nightly News, on The Today Show, and on CBS' 48 Hours. He has also appeared in Life, Newsweek, Smithsonian, Elle, People, The New York Times, and on National Public Radio.
For the past 15 years Dr. Plotkin has worked with ancient shamans of Central and South America to learn about healing plants, which has enhanced his reputation as an expert in tropical rain forest ethnobotany. He co-edited Sustainable Harvest and Use of Rain Forest Products (Island Press) and his book, Tales of A Shaman's Apprentice (Viking-Penguin) has met with resounding success. Currently in its sixteenth printing, it has also been published in German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. A children's version, entitled The Shaman's Apprentice - A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest, co-written and illustrated by acclaimed author Lynne (The Great Kapok Tree) Cherry, was recently published by Harcourt Brace. Smithsonian magazine hailed it as "the outstanding environmental and natural history title of the year."
Plotkin played a leading role in the IMAX film "Amazon" which was directed by Academy Award-winning director Keith Merrill. The film was a 1997 nominee for an Academy Award as Best Short Documentary and is currently on view in IMAX theatres nationwide. His next book, Medicine Quest: New Medicines from Mother Nature was published in 2000.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Prosser Auditorium is located in the Haupert Union Building, Monocacy and W. Locust Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

EU Debt Crisis Imperils Bulgaria's Euro-Zone Bid
Despite Exemplary Budget Restraint, Sofia Could Pay for Others' Profligacy
(See Corrections & Amplifications below)
SOFIA -- Bulgaria, the newest and poorest member of the European Union, is emerging as a fiscal model for a number of EU countries struggling to fend off debt crises.
Despite Bulgaria's budgetary rigor, other EU members' swelling debt burdens may end up foiling Sofia's aspirations to join the euro in three years.
Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007 and posted the smallest budget deficit among the 27 member states last year, according to the finance ministry. It is expected to be the only EU nation to balance its budget in 2010.
The country pegs its currency, the lev, to the euro, and has a currency board that forces the government to hew to tight fiscal policy. Officials in Sofia have frozen government wages and pensions, mothballed costly state investment projects, raised taxes on tobacco and slashed government spending by 15%. The result is a full-year deficit of less than 500 million lev ($370 million), or 0.8% of gross domestic product.
Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, who has drawn international accolades for cutting spending while maintaining high levels of public support, says he fears Bulgaria's fiscal performance won't guarantee entry to the 16-nation euro zone.
"I am afraid that the debt crisis in newer euro-zone countries will negatively affect us," he said. "We hope that the authorities respect the admission criteria as we've worked hard to get here."
In a thinly veiled reference to Greece, which has struggled to persuade investors that it can cut its budget deficit from more than 13% of GDP toward the EU's 3% ceiling, Mr. Borisov said he is making progress in persuading European leaders that his government would be fiscally disciplined "now and in the future."
Bulgaria is eager to adopt the euro in order to boost confidence and foreign investment.
Still, the country must meet a number of criteria covering currency stability, public-sector debt, interest rates and inflation. The application also needs approval from euro-zone heads of government and European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet.
Bulgaria's economic progress could see it leapfrog longtime euro aspirants, such as Romania and Hungary, where sharp downturns have required bailouts from the International Monetary Fund. Sofia isn't currently receiving IMF assistance, and doesn't plan to seek help from the fund this year, Mr. Borisov said.
In the race to the euro, Bulgaria also could outpace Poland, where policy makers have been cautious about entering the currency club. That could raise eyebrows in Brussels and other European capitals where Bulgaria remains synonymous with corruption and organized crime.
Economists say Bulgaria's economic and fiscal management has made it a role model for other countries in Europe.
Spearheading the austerity drive is Prime Minister Borisov, a former karate champion who says his government will formally apply to join the euro zone by the end of January, setting it on course to adopt the currency in 2013.
"We have everything in order and we're ready to start the road to the euro zone by the end of the month," says Mr. Borisov. "It is now the first foreign-policy priority of my government."
The currency board, in place since an economic crisis in 1997 led to hyperinflation and the lev's collapse, compels Bulgarian policy makers to preside over a tight fiscal policy to guard against speculative attacks. The current government's decision to bear down on spending and balance the budget contrasts with Baltic states, where deficits are widening, despite currency pegs or oversight.
Bulgaria's growth forecast for this year has increased to 0.2%, from minus 2%. Credit-ratings agency Standard & Poor's has upgraded the country's outlook from negative to stable at BBB -- two notches above investment grade.
Mr. Borisov also is relying on his finance minister, Simeon Djankov, to step in. Mr. Djankov, a former World Bank economist, said that fiscal credibility is "nonnegotiable" to navigate Bulgaria's entry into the euro zone.

Bulgaria isn't a Baltic state. A previous version of this story implied that the country is in the Baltics.

Hidden on a cloud-piercing mountain 7,970 feet high, Machu Picchu mesmerizes with palaces, baths, temples, residences, and plazas that were built in the early 1400s by the Incas and are 60 percent intact. Serving as a spiritual sanctuary and an outpost for reading the skies for agriculture, Machu Picchu (Quechua for "old mountain") displays architectural genius. The building blocks, sculpted from the mountain's granite, were angled for earthquake resistance and so precisely fitted that centuries later, no gaps appear in the mortarless joints.
Escaping notice of Spanish conquistadors, the Andes mountaintop city was revealed to the world in 1911 by an American named Hiram Bingham. Machu Picchu is a 4-day hike from Cusco along the Inca Trail, or you can take a train from Peru's Sacred Valley, followed by a zigzagging bus ride up the mountain.
Adjusting to the high elevation is aided by the age-old practice of placing locally grown coca leaves along the gum line. The leaves, which have a faint spinach flavor, apparently have no psychoactive effects when used this way or in the tasty coca tea served countrywide.
In high-altitude Cusco, one of South America's oldest cities, the Qorikancha temple was stripped of its gold adornments by the conquistadors. There, I was reminded of the ingenuity of the original residents who lived and worked in concert with pacha mama (mother nature), a concept largely abandoned by "advanced" societies. A few miles away in the Maras salineras, families worked the terraced salt mines as they have for generations.
While vegetarian and vegan dishes were in somewhat short supply at the restaurants along my route, I was delighted by the abundance of vegetables and fruit indigenous to Peru. Before the Spanish arrived in Peru, taking along animals for their meat-heavy diets, the Inca and other native Peruvians made healthy dishes using such local staples as maize, potatoes, and beans. There's still pride in the more than 2,500 varieties of potatoes grown in Peru. Among my surprising finds was choclo, a large-kerneled corn.
Plant-based protein was easy to find. Breakfast consisted of fruit and light, tasty kiwicha, a nutrient-rich amaranth. Mix the grain with molasses or chocolate to make alegria (Spanish for "joy"). And I loved the refreshing fruits. A granadilla tastes like a cross between a passion fruit and a pomegranate; it is gooey but not sticky and has crunchy, edible seeds. Other fruits include the pepino, an apple-sized mini melon; the cherimoya, a custard apple; and plátano manzano, tasty tiny bananas.
I got plenty of essential amino acids because my meals featured various presentations of quinoa. I enjoyed a salad on the train to Machu Picchu, small plates of quinoa at the trendy eatery Chicha, and a wonderful soup at Tambo del Inka, a superb new hotel in the Sacred Valley. Worth noting: Nutrient-packed quinoa and amaranth are getting long-overdue attention for their potential as efficient protein sources and for improving nutrition among growing populations worldwide.
Other culinary highlights: Peruvian avocados, amarillo (yellow hot pepper), huacatay (a native herb), and fresh lemons. The latter are the perfect tart marriage of lemon and lime; they're green and the size of golf balls. Peru's soil accounts for the unique flavor, fine skin, and lovely scent of the lemons, which are famous as a key ingredient of ceviche. But you can create a fish-free version of the dish by simply drizzling the Peruvian lemon juice over the avocados. My carne companions swooned when they sampled it from my plate.
I didn't try the pisco sour, the country's national cocktail made with egg whites. But the light alcoholic juice is tasty served straight.
Have you found any vegetarian eateries in Peru? I read about Lima's AlmaZen and Cusco's Dharma, Govinda's, Comedor Vegetariano, and Prasada, but I did not visit them.

The brief answer is yes ,depreciation on few type of intangible assets are allowed u/s 32 of the income tax act .And it covered under Block 13 if the Depreciation schedule.and rate of such assets is 25 %(wdv).
The assets given under this head are
Intangible assets(acquired after march31,1998) -Know -How ,patents,copyrights,trade-marks, Licences, franchises and any other business or commercial rights of similar nature.
In my opinion Brand rights are also covered under above definition so you can claim depreciation on this intangible asset But you should also gone through following post and make your only after that.
A complete look on this type of assets is given Hereunder.(guest post)
Gone are the days, where the assets of a company would typically include tangible assets (or so to say traditional assets) such as plant, building, furniture, office appliances, etc.
In the present day business environment, intangibles form an essential part of the assets of a company.
Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets that cannot be seen, touched or physically measured, which are created through time and/or effort and that are identifiable as a separate asset.
These intangibles can either be in the form of copyrights, patents, trademarks, goodwill, trade secrets, customer lists, marketing rights, franchises, etc. which either arises on acquisition or are internally generated.
Very often, in a typical mergers and acquisition deal, the prospective buyer, apart from considering other legal and commercial considerations, would also consider the tax cost in his deal, which plays a significant role in influencing/structuring a deal.
The prospective buyer would be keen not only to know as to what are the types of the assets that he would own post-merger, but will also like to factor-in the tax incidence in the form of tax depreciation that would be allowed to him on the assets acquired.
Scope of Section 32
Historically, Section 32 of the Income-Tax Act, 1961 enabled companies to claim depreciation only on the tangible assets such as building, machinery, plant or furniture.
However with the growing need for recognition of intangibles, and keeping pace with the business realities, the scope of Section 32 was widened by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1998, whereby depreciation is now allowed also on intangible assets acquired on or after April 1, 1998.
However it is interesting to note that not all the intangibles qualify for depreciation. The legislature in its wisdom has identified few intangibles for depreciation.
As per Section 32(1)(ii), depreciation is allowed only in respect of knowhow, patents, copyrights, trade-marks, licences, franchises or any other business or commercial rights of similar nature, being intangible assets acquired on or after April 1, 1998.
Thus from the above it can be noted that the depreciation is not only allowed on knowhow, patents, copyrights, etc., but is also allowed on any other business or commercial rights which are of similar nature.
It is therefore important to understand as to which types of intangibles qualify for depreciation and which do not qualify. Recently, the Mumbai Tribunal in the R.G. Keswani vs ACIT (2009 308 ITR (AT) 271) case has held that goodwill acquired by an assessee does not come under the expression of any business or commercial rights of the nature similar to know-how, patents, copyrights, etc. and is therefore not eligible for depreciation.
The Ahmedabad Tribunal in the Bharatbhai J. Vyas (2005 97 ITD 248) case has also held that the amount paid for goodwill does not result into acquisition of any knowhow, patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc., as prescribed in this behalf and consequently, the assessee is not entitled to claim of depreciation on goodwill.
A similar view has been taken by the Delhi Tribunal in the Guruji Entertainment Network Ltd (2006 14 SOT 556) case.
Tenancy rights
The Mumbai Tribunal in the M. M. Nissim & Co. vs ACIT (2007 18 SOT 274) case has held that the tenancy rights acquired by the assessee cannot be equated with the licence provided under Section 32 so as to qualify it as an intangible asset eligible for depreciation.
Customer contracts
The Mumbai Tribunal in the Skyline Caterers (P) Ltd vs ITO (2008 20 SOT 266) case has held that the specific intangible assets are followed by the expression 'any other business of commercial rights of similar nature'. In such situation, the rule of ejusdem generis would apply, by virtue of which the expression 'any other business or commercial rights of similar nature' would include such rights which can be used as a tool to carry on the business.
Applying the above test, the Mumbai Tribunal allowed deprecation on payment made for acquiring rights under a contract.
Marketing rights
The Delhi Tribunal in the Sarabhai Zydus Animal Health Ltd (2007 TIOL-202-ITAT-DEL) case has held that marketing rights acquired by the appellant were intangible rights and hence eligible for depreciation.
Non-compete right
Recently, the Chennai Tribunal in the ITO vs Medicorp Technologies India Ltd (2009 TIOL-203-ITAT-MAD) case once again analysed the claim of depreciation in respect of intangible assets in the form of payment made for a non-compete right.
In that case, Medicorp Technologies India Ltd ('taxpayer') who was engaged in manufacture and distribution of bulk drugs/intermediaries, including exporting of these products to the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, acquired an export division of Medispan Ltd. The total consideration paid for this acquisition was Rs 5.33 crore, of which, Rs 3.33 crore was paid towards intangibles that inter alia included use of brand names as well as transfer and assignment of product registration, business agreements, dossiers and licenses including dossiers pending approval, etc.
Further, Rs 2 crore was paid towards compensation for acceptance of non-compete obligation in respective exports of bulk drugs, pharmaceuticals products and formulations. The taxpayer, in its income-tax return, claimed the payment of Rs 2 crore towards the non-compete obligation as deductible revenue expenditure. The tax payer also made an alternate claim before the tax authorities that depreciation be granted on the non-compete right.
On the above facts, the Chennai Tribunal held that non-compete right acquired by the tax payer is towards compensation in the export business and hence it is a business / commercial right and hence eligible for depreciation.
The Tribunal observed that the capability of an asset to have a market value, assignability, transferability or diminution in value are no more the 'touch stones' to test the admissibility for depreciation under Section 32. The holder of patents, copyrights or trademarks can sue the one who infringes them. Similarly, payer of non-compete fees can sue the person who violates the non-compete terms and conditions.
The Tribunal concluded by observing that if patents, copyrights and trademarks fulfils the conditions of 'being an intangible asset' then surely the non-compete right acquired by the taxpayer also fulfils that condition by way of a logical corollary.
The above are landmark decisions and the views expressed by the judicial authorities need to be kept in mind while structuring a business deal.

Marion Crowder
Nov. 4, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia soccer players Torri Allen and Marion Crowder have been honored by the Southeastern Conference for their play during the 2013 regular season, the league office announced Monday prior to the start of the SEC Championships. Conference awards are decided on by a vote of the league's 14 head coaches.
The senior defender Allen landed on the All-SEC second team for the second straight season, while the rookie forward Crowder brings in the first yearly award of her career as she was named to the All-Freshman Team.
Allen now has three All-SEC honors to her name after back-to-back second team nods and an All-Freshman award in 2010. The Stafford, Va., native has started all 19 games for Georgia, anchoring a back line that has allowed only 0.93 goals per game in 2013 while stringing together the second-longest shutout streak in school history at 652 minutes earlier this season. She has also helped the Bulldogs to 11 shutouts on the season, just one off the school record in that category. Additionally, Allen has three assists on the offensive end, and has been credited with two defensive saves – a rare stat given to defenders for directly preventing an opposing team from scoring.
Crowder made an immediate impact as a freshman for Georgia, starting 18 of 19 games and currently leading the squad with 11 goals and one assist for a team-best 23 points. The Madison, Miss., native is just one score away from matching All-American Carrie Patterson's school record for goals by a freshman set in 2006, while her seven game-winning goals rank second-most all-time. Her performance vs. the College of Charleston earlier this season marked only the second time in school history a UGA player scored four goals in a game and the first since 2003, the first time ever by a Georgia freshman. Crowder was named the SEC Freshman of the Week and both the College Sports Madness' National Offensive Player of the Week and SEC Player of the Week earlier this season.
Allen, Crowder, and their teammates will open SEC tournament play on Wed., Nov. 6, taking on third-seeded South Carolina in the quarterfinals at 3:30 p.m. ET in Orange Beach, Ala.

PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: At that time, it was not the situation. That situation was different. You didn't have military, and you should not-- never have had military there. You should just have had a mission, an embassy there, dealing with the Taliban, dealing with Mullah Omar. That doesn't mean that you love him. If Pakistan has a mission, we don't love him. We-- we don't mean that his thoughts should be imposed on Pakistan, but we have a mission there. We have a mission in Delhi, with India. That doesn't mean that we are great chummy friends.
CHRIS CUOMO: So the mistake for the U.S. was ever using the military in Afghanistan in the first place.
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: I'm sorry?
CHRIS CUOMO: So the mistake for the U.S. was using the military in the beginning, that it should have used political and economic in the beginning--
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Yes. I mean, (UNINTEL) according to an environment, you can't talk of how you reacted in 1995, and think that the same reaction should have been after 9/11. Now 9/11-- reaction has to be seen, according to 9/11-- 2001 environment. And '95-- response is to be seen in the environment there. I'm talking of '96, '97. There is no military. Why should the military have been there at all?
CHRIS CUOMO: There was no threat there--
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Just open an embassy there. And deal with the Taliban, deal with Mullah Omar, influence his mind. All together or all of us would have influenced. If that Buddha statue, when it was being-- to be destroyed by the Taliban by Mullah Omar, the prime minister of Japan, Sri Lanka-- Thailand and president of Sri Lanka, they all rang me up and they spoke to me. "Save the Buddha statue."
And I told them I've been shouting around. Open your missions there. Open embassies. We-- joined people that told Mullah Omar, "If you do anything, we are all going to leave." Look at the pressure on the mind of the man. But now, we are all alone and you have put them on-- he is nothing and-- really you can't do anything. You are not giving him anything. Why-- you don't exercise any leverage. We must exercise leverage over anybody, any country, any individual who we want to influence-- to whom we want to dictate or tell something. If you don't have the leverage, how can you make him accept anything that you want?
CHRIS CUOMO: What is your message to the American people about what they should think about the situation in Afghanistan and what needs to be done?
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Well, the message is certainly that-- we have to win. And quitting is not an option, like I said. And in that, we must accept the duties. We must be prepared. We must avoid, as much as possible, casualties, but when soldiers move and armies act, casualties will be there, and we should accept casualties. We should be bold enough, brave enough, as a nation, to accept casualties. Don't create a history-- against that, because that encourages the Taliban and al Qaeda.
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Supreme court, yes, because he -- acted against the supreme court chief justice and removed the chief justice from there, yes, by bribing -- the other side and --
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: They -- they captured, under him. He captured the supreme court! (UNINTEL) people crossed the -- gates and went inside, captured, took over the supreme court. (LAUGHTER) And we want him as a leader of Pakistan. Very good.

UPDATED: Obama to speak at Al Glick Field House on Friday
White House officials announced on Monday afternoon that President Barack Obama will speak on campus this Friday as a part of a series of speaking events across the country following his State of the Union Address on Tuesday.
Obama will deliver his remarks at the Al Glick Field House, the Michigan football team's indoor practice facility. Obama is scheduled to travel to Iowa, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado before arriving in Michigan on Thursday evening.
The event is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. Friday, and will be free and open to the public. Tickets will be available starting Thursday at 9 a.m. from the Michigan Union Ticket Office in the Michigan Union.
Al Glick Field House
There's a limit of one ticket per person, and they'll be given out on a first come, first serve basis.
The president's appearance on campus will be his second visit to the University since taking office. Obama delivered the Spring Commencement address at Michigan Stadium in May, 2010.
University President Mary Sue Coleman said in a statement to The Michigan Daily that the University was excited to welcome Obama back to campus.
"As a public research university, we share his commitment to a strong future for our state and our nation. We are particularly honored that he will visit following his State of the Union address."
Michael Traugott, a research professor at the University's Institute for Social Research, said there is probably a variety of reasons Obama chose to speak at the University, including Michigan's possible swing-state role in the upcoming presidential election.
Traugott added that Obama may have chosen the University due to his working relationship with University President Mary Sue Coleman, or his connection with Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president and Law School alum.
"I think there's probably a variety of reasons (he's coming)," Traugott said. "One of them is of course that in the fall, Michigan will be an important state for its electoral votes and probably much more contested than it was in 2008. Secondly, he has a lot of people on his staff who have connections to the University of Michigan, including Valerie Jarret. Thirdly, he seems to have a good working relationship on a variety of policy issues with President Coleman."
Last June, Coleman was one of six university presidents from around the country to join with Obama in creating the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership — a partnership between the Obama administration and the universities to enhance the number of advanced manufacturing jobs in the United States, while developing more sophisticated manufacturing processes.
Traugott added that the proximity of Michigan's Feb. 28 Republican presidential primary could be another incentive for the president to visit to Ann Arbor this week. He noted that Obama will probably tailor the speech to discuss his policies that are popular with Michigan voters, including his role in helping automakers in Detroit.
"I think ... there will be an interest in framing the Michigan Republican primary in terms of topics that he thinks he has a particular advantage on, including unemployment and the bailout of two of the Big Three automobile companies."
Traugott said Obama's choosing of the University over nearby Detroit or Lansing may indicate that he plans to make an announcement regarding educational or workforce initiatives for students.
Political Science Prof. Ken Kollman said winning the support of a "core constituency" of working and middle class voters in Michigan would be crucial to Obama's re-election in November, adding it would reflect approval among Michigan constituents of the president's recent policies regarding reviving the automobile industry and spurring job creation and economic growth in the state.
"Winning Michigan is very important to his re-election," Kollman said. "It's also a state where he can cash some chips in. He can take a lot of credit for saving the Big Three, or at least two of the Big Three. He is in a fight for working class white voters all over the country and there are a lot of such voters in Michigan that are probably undecided about him and appreciate what he did for the Michigan economy, but are also worried about future job prospects."
Kollman said that though the Michigan Republican Primary is coming up, Obama's main focus will be to continue to mobilize Democratic support, particularly against the past economic policies of the potential Republican candidates.
"His big thing now is to try to draw contrast between himself and the Republican Party as a whole and to try to be running against them as a party," Kollman said. "He doesn't exactly know who his opponent will be yet, but no matter who it is, he's going to try to tie them to economic policies that are seen as not willing to step up places like Michigan."
Obama is the fourth president to give a commencement speech in Ann Arbor, following former presidents Bill Clinton in 2007, George H. W. Bush in 1991 and Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Other former presidents have also given historic speeches at the University, including John F. Kennedy's famous announcement of the launch of the Peace Corps program from the steps of The Michigan Union on Oct. 14, 1960, and Gerald R. Ford's announcement that he was seeking re-election at Crisler Arena on Sept. 15, 1976.
In his address to the 2010 graduating class, Obama stressed the need for civic involvement and discussed the difficult economic environment that University graduates would face as they entered the work force.
"The fact is, when you leave here today, you will search for work in an economy that is still emerging from the worst crisis since the Great Depression," Obama said in his speech. "You live in a century where the speed with which jobs and industries move across the globe is forcing America to compete like never before."
LSA freshman Ken Leaton said she is looking forward to hearing Obama discuss his plans leading into the 2012 election.
"I'm definitely excited to see him because I'm interested to hear what he'll say for the upcoming election … and see what he plans to do in his election campaign and to see what the main issues are in the upcoming election. I will definitely try to go."
Gabriella Recinos, an LSA junior, said she was "pleasantly surprised" to hear the news, and added that Ann Arbor's central location makes it an ideal place to host the president's speech.
"Ann Arbor is a pretty good place because a lot of people can come," Recinos said. "People from Ypsi can come, people from Detroit can come and hopefully people from outside of Ann Arbor will come."
Rackham student Brad Kent said he would be interested in going if the event if it is open to students and tickets are easily accessible. Regardless, he said his is looking forward to hearing Obama elaborate on points brought up in his State of the Union address.
"I just found out today, and I think it's great," Kent said. "I'm glad that he's coming, and I'm excited that he's going to come after he gives the State of the Union address so we can hear him expound on his plans."
Rackham student Hakeem Jefferson said he anticipates Obama to speak about job growth or educational initiatives, topics he finds particularly important to improving the state's economy.
"I'm excited that the president's coming to town," Jefferson said. "I think it's important for him to come to town, not only because he's looking to get elected in November, but because Michigan probably needs to hear more about his jobs plan and needs to know more about what he's going to do to help the economy improve more. ... I'm excited and I'll definitely go if I can get a ticket to attend."
He added that he hopes to see the president sing. During a speech at The Apollo theatre in New York last week, Obama gave his rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."
"He seems to do a good job singing the Al Green song … I think the president being the president should be able to sing whatever he wants, whatever Michelle's favorite song is," Jefferson said.
Editor in Chief Joseph Lichterman and Daily News Editors Haley Goldberg and Adam Rubenfire contributed to this report.

By Sgt. Annette B. Andrews, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
ASAD, Iraq, Feb. 17, 2005 What's a police officer from Marietta, Ga., doing in the dusty desert regions of the Middle East? Extending her tour.
"I wanted to be in the thick of it," said Army Sgt. Beth A. Bedore, a native of Saginaw, Mich., where her family still resides. "I just know what we are doing over here is making a difference."
The all-wheeled vehicle mechanic originally was deployed with the 175th Maintenance Company to Kuwait and was attached 11 months later to the 561st Corps Support Group here, in northwestern Iraq.
"I'm not married. I don't have kids. My family is very supportive, and my nieces and nephews are proud of me," she said.
As a mechanic, she not only repaired vehicles, she assisted in up-armoring vehicles. "There is personal pride in what I do, and if someone said the up- armor I put on their vehicle saved their life, that would make it all worth it," she said.
She originally volunteered for service in Iraq, but her unit was sent to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. Late in her first deployment, her battalion commander and company commander helped her find a unit that was looking for volunteers to extend for an incoming unit.
"The 561st CSG was very welcoming, and that's made the transfer a lot easier," she said.
She is filling a required slot for the group. The person originally slotted for the maintenance group had a heart attack in Kuwait and was sent back. Working as a support operations maintenance noncommissioned officer, Bedore has gone from being under the vehicles to cutting steel to up-armor vehicles and now writes reports on the equipment she used to repair.
When a soldier volunteers for extended service in a combat zone, it becomes a win-win situation. The military does not spend extra resources getting replacement troops or training those people. The gaining unit receives an experienced soldier who can add to their existing resources and information about current conditions.
"Instead of going to school (for it), I'm getting on-the-job experience," she said. "In the long run, this saves the Army a lot of money. Besides, I'm here for the experience."
Soldiers profit too, and not only by receiving bonuses, something she never mentioned.
"I'm the only one in my family with military experience. It's helped me with self-discipline and exercise; that, in return, helps me with my job back home," she said. "I know there are others out there who are like me. I want to be here and do my job the best I can."
Like so many deployed soldiers, Bedore has a bed among 42 bunk beds and limited space. Living in a tent provides no real personal space, with 18 inches to two feet between bunks. Personal items spill over from beneath beds or from the tops of footlockers. It is nearly impossible to personalize their space, but these soldiers do their best with small items they brought with them.
Every occupant must learn to get along or it becomes a very long year. Everyone lives together and works together, so they must pull together, the soldiers say. The tent leaks on rainy days, and the elements do not discriminate -- from the lieutenant colonel to the private, everyone gets drenched.
"Others who don't know you will cover your property and move things to protect you (in a downpour)," Bedore said about living with the 561st CSG. "It's a camaraderie you'll never have in the civilian world -- ever."
Bedore's loyalty comes from being among individuals who barely knew her. On station for one week, she underwent minor surgery with a two-day hospital stay. The unit first sergeant and other soldiers went to the hospital with a get-well card signed by almost everyone.
"I felt they went above and beyond what was expected," she said. "I won't go home until they go home."
The 561st CSG from Omaha, Neb., arrived in October and is in the process of building Asad into a general supply hub providing supplies to the surrounding areas of operations.
(Army Sgt. Annette B. Andrews is a member of the 28th Public Affairs Detachment from Fort Lewis, Wash., and is deployed to Iraq in support of units at Logistics Support Area Anaconda.)

Doviculus's main buffing solo, it grants all nearby ally units an increase to attack, movement speed and healing. The solo also does severe damage to Doviculus himself, such that any additional damage will finish him off. If Doviculus is wounded at all prior to completing the martyrdom solo, he will immediately die upon completing the solo. Agony Boil - Tier 0 solo. Playing this solo will result in in a physical growth to appear at the location the solo was played. The agony boil will continue to grow and swell for about two minutes before it finally bursts. If any enemy units approach the agony boil at anytime the boil will detonate, dealing damage to enemy units in the area as well as launching them into the air. The amount of damage done by the detonation increases the longer the agony boil is allowed to fester. Summon Tic Choppers - Tier 1 solo. Upon completing this solo a squad of three tic choppers appear at Doviculus' stage as part of his army. Notable traits include:Having a chest cavity that can be opened thus exposing his heart Being able to store other objects in that cavity, including another heartWings so that he can survey the battlefieldAnd a freaky S&M type mask/hat thing that has no holes for his eyes.

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Syrah
The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.
Region: Fleurieu
The Fleurieu peninsula is a stunning region of south Australia, located close to Adelaide and constantly drawing attention to itself over recent years due to its international status as an 'up and coming' wine region. Indeed, there has been much excitement over the wines produced in Fleurieu during the past decade, as this relatively small and unusual peninsula has consistently been producing many of the most flavorful and accessible red wines ever to come out of Australia. Thanks to its Mediterranean style climate, the vines in Fleurieu are able to produce fully ripened fruit each year, and the climatic conditions allow vintners plenty of flexibility when it comes to their wine making methods. Whilst the region is still primarily producing Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, there has been much successful innovation and experimentation with a wide range of grape varietals over recent years, and we can expect to see and hear much more from Fleurieu in the near future.
Country: Australia
Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

FORT HOOD (November 18, 2009)—Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will visit Fort Hood next month as part of a national tour in support of her new book, "Going Rogue," the Wall Street Journal reports.
The Journal reports that the event has not been announced publicly and is not included on the preliminary tour schedule and quotes Palin's publicist as saying the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had already agreed to visit the post.
After the Nov. 5 shooting, the post contacted Paln's publisher and said she should stick with plans for the appearance, the Journal reported.
The Fort Hood visit will be on Dec. 4, the same day as a scheduled appearance at Legacy Books in Plano.
A time and place for the Fort Hood appearance hasn't been announced, but the appearance in Plano is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 4.
Hundreds of people lined up at a Michigan bookstore for a chance to meet Palin as she kicked off the national tour.
Some people camped out overnight to be among the first to get wristbands Wednesday morning from the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Grand Rapids.
The orange bands will give them an opportunity to get Palin to sign their copies of her new book, which was released Tuesday but has topped bestseller lists for weeks.
Barnes and Noble spokeswoman Maddie Hjulstrom said for security reasons, she could not say how many people are expected at the book signing.

If you are an iTunes Movie Store consumer, you may have noticed not only the news-making iTunes 9 announcement, but also the fact that you aren't able to rent or buy films without the upgrade. This is true. If you wanna rent or buy films via iTunes, you need to download the new version of the store. And, download you should. Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 9, the entire experience (from music to movies) has become even more sleek and slick and effortless. Plus, there are a slew of new features, such as Home Sharing (which allows your library to be transferred to other approved machines), iTunes LP (which offers a more robust set of features with certain album purchases), and iTunes Extras (which offers DVD-like movie features such as audio commentaries and deleted scenes). All this, and Apple has dropped the price of its 160GB Apple TV.

Planned Parenthood files new lawsuits in Texas
Claim: Exclusion of Planned Parenthood violates civil rights
AUSTIN, Texas - Planned Parenthood has filed two new lawsuits in state and federal courts in efforts to stay in the new Texas Women's Health program.
Texas is moving to defund clinics and doctors with ties to groups that provide abortions. Planned Parenthood has waged an ongoing legal battle to remain in the program.
The lawsuit in state court was filed by McAllen woman who relies on Planned Parenthood for affordable cancer screenings and birth control. The lawsuit argues that Texas lacks the authority to exclude Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program.
The federal lawsuit challenges the exclusion of Planned Parenthood as a violation of patients' civil rights.
Planned Parenthood clinics provide services to an estimated 50,000 women from 40 health centers under the Women's Health Program.

Cardiovascular Services: Diagnostic Testing
Diagnostic tests and procedures are used to determine if a person has cardiovascular disease, the type of disease, the severity, and the most effective treatment methods.
Electrocardiography Tests
Electrocardiography tests use the electrocardiogram to evaluate the electrical activity generated by the heart at rest and with activity. Nuclear Imaging is a method of producing images by detecting radiation from different parts of the body after the administration of a radioactive tracer material.
Ultrasound Tests
Ultrasound tests use ultrasound, or high frequency sound waves, to create graphic images of the heart's structures, pumping action, and direction of blood flow. Radiographic Tests use x-ray machines or very high-tech machines (CT, MRI) to create pictures of the internal structures of the chest.
Invasive Testing
Invasive testing involve inserting catheters into the blood vessels of the heart in order to get a closer look at the coronary arteries or to stimulate and test the electrical system of the heart.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests include a number of blood tests used to diagnose and monitor treatment for heart disease.

Leadership & Volunteer DevelopmentUniversity of Illinois Extension assists communities and organizations in developing skills and competencies in leadership education and volunteer development through innovative educational programs.
Leadership DevelopmentProgressive and successful communities are often those where local adult and youth leadership capacity is developed, maintained and empowered. The larger the pool of leaders in a community, the greater the opportunities to create a climate for change. Identifying and using local leadership is essential to the success of any development project or activity. A base of leadership exists in every community to influence any decision-making body and ultimately affects the outcome of local projects. Two categories of leaders that are important: the people in existing leadership positions and those who are emerging leaders. By identifying the local leadership base and recognizing its strengths and limitations, communities can better use and enhance the talents of diverse individuals and groups.
Areas of leadership development relate to:
Volunteer DevelopmentVolunteerism is an integral part of American society. During just one year, 51 percent of Americans volunteer their time, talents, services, and resources to help others. Estimates indicate that adult and youth volunteers give an average of 4.2 hours per week. Quality volunteer program development and management systems are importatnt in order to maintain successful programs.
