Renewable energy development in the UK currently looks to be too slow to meet government targets. Industry support seems insufficient, but there will also be another hurdle from the public. UK consumers have so far shown little interest in environmentally friendly energy and may be unhappy about the increased costs.
European retail giant Metro Group has launched its multi-brand Payback loyalty card in Poland. The card will be accepted at Metro's hypermarket chain Real and BP service stations, as well as by other companies. The move is expected to be a success: the loyalty card is attractive to consumers and provides companies with additional insight not available from a single-brand loyalty scheme.
A growing number of price comparison websites are allowing consumers to compare relevant tariffs from numerous energy suppliers. Their role in some cases has expanded to allowing consumers to switch supplier. In addition, customer satisfaction survey results such as those from uSwitch are augmenting the role that these websites play in increasing market transparency and customer switching rates.
As part of its Retail Market Review, Ofgem has criticized the terms on which energy is supplied to the business sector. Potential reforms may include a ban on rollover contracts and making contract information much more transparent for business customers. While critics argue that this will erode the profits of utilities and brokers, it is likely to be beneficial for businesses.
Collective switching is an innovative and co-operative way of reaching out to the "less connected," the elderly, and the energy-poor to provide a level of confidence about their ability to switch supplier should an alternative and better price be available. Therefore it has the potential to be an important channel for suppliers into these hard-to-reach customer segments.

OGDENSBURG More than 250 people turned out for the third annual St. Lawrence County job fair Thursday afternoon to meet with representatives of more than 65 employers.
The event, which was free to attend, was sponsored by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, who said the fair is a way to take concrete steps to bring jobs to the north country – a primary goal of her time in office. Jobs has been pretty much my number one priority since taking over as senator, she said. I was surprised as I visited employers in the area that were telling me they have a real tough time finding people for their positions.
Mrs. Ritchie said her job fair is an attempt to rectify the problem by acting as a conduit between employers and potential employees.
The reason for this was to make it easy to put employers who are looking for employees in the same spot as people who are looking for positions and giving them the opportunity to match up the job skills with the openings, Mrs. Ritchie said.
This years event, hosted at the Odd Fellows Hall, saw an increase in the number of both job seekers and potential employers. We have more employers here today than we had in the past, Mrs. Ritchie said. This year even more than other years there is a really broad spectrum of what jobs are being offered.
In 2013 there were just over 200 job seekers and 56 employers.
From military positions to private sector companies looking for people with wide-ranging skill sets, the job fair was flush with opportunities for prospective employees.
Stephanie Miller, who was helping operate a booth representing the Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, said, Weve talked to a lot of people and there is a lot of interest.
As of 2:30 p.m., with another hour and a half to go, Ms. Miller said they had talked with more than 30 people about openings at the hospital.
Mrs. Ritchie said the event has been personally rewarding. Its been very positive.
Besides running into people on the street who told her they found employment thanks to the job fair, she said a particularly serendipitous encounter took place last year at Claxton-Hepburn.
Mrs. Ritchie said she was checking out of the hospital and, when I was leaving, [the nurse] said to me, Thank you.
I just kind of looked at her; I dont really know what youre thanking me for. She goes, I got my job at your job fair. It was her first day on the job and she was there because of the job fair.
For people who couldnt attend Thursdays event Mrs. Ritchie has an online database of job openings from across the state available on her website.

Pitcher Yoni Mediano prepares to throw a pitch against Dugway.
PCA catcher Chris Smith looks toward third base coach Jason Jaramillo after hitting a two-run triple in the second game of a double header.
PCA freshman Noah Mascarenas waits for the sign from coach Jaramillo after hitting a two-run single helping to cut a 5-0 deficit against Dugway.
PCA head coach Jason Jaramillo talks with his team in the dugout.
In their first season playing baseball, the Pinnacle Canyon Academy baseball team wasted no time in making history for their school as they swept a doubleheader against Dugway on Friday afternoon at the USU Eastern baseball field.
In the first game in the team's history, the PCA Panthers defeated Dugway 4-1 thanks to a terrific pitching performance from Rowdy Houskeeper. Houskeeper held Dugway to one hit through five innings. Cameron Anderson got the first RBI in PCA history and Houskeeper scored the first run in team history.
In the second game, PCA was quickly put into a 5-0 deficit through the third inning. PCA freshman second baseman Noah Mascarenas hit a two-run single with the bases loaded to cut the deficit to 5-2 in the bottom of the third inning. Catcher Chris Smith followed with a two-run triple and Houskeeper added an RBI groundout to tie the game at 5-5.
Dugway took back the lead in the top of the fourth with two more runs making it 7-5. In the bottom of the inning, the Panthers scored two runs on wild pitches to tie the game at 7-7.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Anderson scored on another Dugway wild pitch to help PCA walk off with a 8-7 win for doubleheader sweep.
Head coach Jason Jaramillo said team displayed a tremendous effort in their first two games, including their comeback win in the second game.
"We're really happy with the two wins," Jaramillo said. "I wanted to see the team compete and I definitely saw that today."
The Panthers will look to continue their good start when they host Tintic for a doubleheader on Friday at the USU Eastern baseball field. Games start at 3 p.m.

|State Soccer Pairings Announced
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Monday, 09 May 2011 11:07
The Watauga High women's soccer team has quite a challenge on its hands.The Pioneers (12-5-1), the No.1 seed from the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference will open the state playoffs at home Wednesday night at Jack Groce Stadium against Mallard Creek (13-6-4), the No.4 seed from the from the I-Meck Conference out of Charlotte. A game time for the contest has not been announced by the WHS athletic department.
The winner of this game will face either A.C. Reynolds (the No.1 seed from the Mountain Athletic 3A/4A Conference) or Butler (the No.5 seed from the Southwestern 4A Conference) in the second round. All second-round games must be completed by Saturday, May 14.
The Pioneers snapped a three-game losing streak by battering South Caldwell 9-2 Friday night in Sawmills.
In other games, in Class 4A, Alexander Central, the No.2 seed among the 4A schools, entertains West Mecklenburg. In Class 3A, St. Stephens, the No.1 seed, entertains R.S.Central; Hickory, the No.2 seed, takes on West Henderson at home; and Hibriten, the No.3 seed, travels to Lawndale Burns.

COLTON The Colton-Pierrepont Central School District is heading into the budget process facing a spending increase next year of nearly $500,000, Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash said.
The reason is expected increases in retirement contributions, salaries, Social Security, health insurance and BOCES spending, he said.
If you total all of that up, that would be about $475,000, he said. Thats where were starting.
Mr. Kardash said without an increase in state aid, a spending increase of that amount would translate to roughly a 7 percent tax levy increase. He said he has not yet received the necessary information from the state to calculate what the districts tax cap ceiling will be for this years budget process, but he did say those numbers could change.
The BOCES numbers havent been received yet, and salaries are being negotiated, he said. If those numbers change, that could come down.
Another item that could make the number come down is increased aid.
Hopefully there will be more aid, Mr. Kardash said. Any increase in aid will bring this down.
He stressed the district isnt proposing a 7 percent tax levy increase and noted this was only the boards first glimpse of this years budgeting process. Until the district receives its state aid estimates, there isnt really anything else it can do, he said.
Thats basically what we have because the governor hasnt given us any information yet, he said.
The districts voters approved a $9,470,000 budget for 2012-13 that reflected a spending increase of $85,000 or 0.91 percent. The districts tax levy of $6,790,000 increased 2.03 percent.
According to the 2012-13 property tax rolls for the Colton-Pierrepont School District, the town of Coltons assessed value decreased slightly last year, leading to an increase in the towns equalization rate. Therefore, Colton taxpayers saw a smaller tax rate increase than those in Pierrepont or Parishville.

LOUISVILLE Area residents are again receiving letters suggesting they purchase water line insurance.
Louisville Town Clerk Joann Cameron said she has heard from several people who have called her office inquiring about the letters, which arrive in an envelope that says IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR WATER LINE.
Massenas Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad said he has also heard from some people in Massena who have received the letter.
While this isnt the first time these letters have been received, Ms. Cameron said the company involved this time, HomeServe, a Norwalk, Conn.-based company, is offering coverage for what may seem like a minimal amount of money.
Its $5 a month and its on EasyPay, so you figure, maybe I should have it, Ms. Cameron said, noting she is advising people not to purchase the coverage.
While $5 a month may not seem like a lot of money, Councilman Roy A. Slim Beshaw said the potential is there for a company to make a killing.
If you get 1,000 people or even more paying $5 a month, thats a whole lot of money, he said.
Among those receiving a letter was Councilwoman M. Gail Schneider.
It looks official, she said, noting that when people mail in the enclosed registration it is sent to a P.O. Box in Albany and addressed to Plan Administrator.
There are a lot of scams out there and a lot of times they look official, Mr. Beshaw said.
The letter, which is signed by company CEO John Kitzie, said HomeServe offers affordable coverage, that You cant afford to be without.
Your exterior water service line is the pipe that brings fresh water into your home from your water utility or private well. Its your responsibility to maintain and repair this line in the event of a leak or breakage. Repairing a broken like could cost you thousands of dollars, and in financial times like these, thats an expense no one should have to bear, the letter states.
According to the plans details, the coverage will offer up to $6,000 in repairs per year with a maximum of $3,000 per repair.
Fine print on the back of the letter notes that the coverage will only make repairs that are needed as a result of normal wear and tear, not due to accident or negligence.
While problems with the water line running from the curb do happen, Mr. Fayad said they are extremely rare.
If a lateral water line does break, it would cost the homeowner between $1,700 and $2,000, he said.
He added that the homeowner has the option of hiring a private contractor to do the work or the villages Department of Public Works crew.
Calls made to HomeServe on Friday were not returned.

The event includes long-distance races in swimming, biking and running - one after another. Competitors are grouped by age and degree of difficulty. The longest category - Escape - demands a swim through frigid waters from the lake island to the boat dock at Mountain View campground, a bicycle race to Electric Lake and back, followed by a 10-mile run. Others may travel shorter distances, but the event is grueling for all who take part. The course through the mountains has plenty of scenery, but not much oxygen.

How to do native 64bit C programming??
I would like to write some native 64bit C and maybe assembler code together with using SDL. Well it is not going smoothly. I am trying with Geany and the devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs
It seems there is only a 32bit standard C library in there? Is that why I get errors when I use the -m64 and -march option.
Anyway how should I set things up and avoid wasting time. I do want to be able to use native 64bit operations to speed up random number generator algorithms etc.
Anyway, hello group.
gcc -Wall -c -m64 "SDLTest.c" (in directory: /root/my-documents)
In file included from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_main.h:26:0,
from /usr/include/SDL/SDL.h:30,
from SDLTest.c:2:
/usr/include/SDL/SDL_stdinc.h:34:23: fatal error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Compilation failed.

I mean you can add 2 64bit numbers in one machine instruction rather than with an with a 32bit add followed with a 32bit add with carry. Also for doing like an xor shift random number generator you can do a 64bit barrel shift in one machine instruction, the number of 32bit instructions needed to do that is an embarrassment.
Generally you also get more registers, avoiding the extreme register pressure you get with 32bit x86.
I guess I was trying to say I wanted to use the full x686 instruction set.
Together with some basic keyboard code and graphics in the SDL library. I downloaded the developer 64bit rpm from the SDL website and that installed without any problem (as far as I can see) on puppy Linux. I tried lubuntu but I backed away from its earnest efforts to wipe my hard drive during install.

Native 64bit programming requires native 64bit operating system (unless you're prepared to use a cross-compiler). Precise 5.7.1 is a 32-bit operating system and it *cannot* compile 64-bit binaries.
Your first step is to use 64-bit Linux - there are a few to choose: Fatdog64, Lighthouse64, Slacko64, and there may be others that I don't know ...

Well that would explain the problem right enough. Don't know why the OS is marked x686. I kinda want to do code for ARM mini-PCs as well so there is an argument to stick to 32bit. All ARM really need do is add a few 64bit integer registers for memory addressing to claim 64bit status. That is enough, if you ask me.
Thanks for the information, I will have a think about my optimal option.

Ok, I put Fatdog64 on my computer and the devx.sfs file. I don't like to download so many 100's of megabytes but I'll do it one time out of curiosity. I compiled and linked a helloworld in the my-documents folder. I get an executable but Geany can't run it:
could not find /usr/bin/xterm
Must I build the executable in a different place or what do I change the terminal command to?
Also the SDL.rpm does not install, unlike with puppy linux. However I see there is a slightly older SDL pet that should install I hope.
I presume the Fatdog64 distribution is so far out there I will have a reduced risk of virus and malware attacks? I'm looking for a justification for the size of the thing, I suppose. Maybe I could of tried Pelles C/Wine.

I can get the helloworld executable to execute using the desktop terminal.
I still can't find the correct thing to type for the terminal preference in Geany.
I see there are already SDL headers and libraries on my system.
When I try to link to the library I get rebuffed.
I will try a little more but it is getting elusive, I feel I should have a trouble free browsing environment to use, though.

I used my day off to try to get set up to do what I want to do. Linux does not bend, you must. I don't know why I must jump through hoops for an operating system or dance for a dollar at a bar for Linus Torvals. I will steal a little bit more time to try but I presume I am heading toward 32bit Pelles C/Windows.

Yeh, that Fatdog64 doesn't work. I tried the vala ide and it simply disappeared completely at the end of the project wizard. As a last resort to do 64 bit programming with FatDog64 I tried Java. When I tried to launch the simple and reliable tide Java IDE I was rebuffed.
You should probably not try not to do so much, rather do a little very well. Maybe you should think about not releasing into the public domain and just use these things for yourself or whatever. I am not looking to be harsh, because that is my idea for myself too. I don't it is any harm just to do your own projects and then not share them. I think it is actually the right thing to do in most cases.

Angels could move Bourjos, Trumbo, or Morales for a pitcher
The Angels are very likely to trade either Peter Bourjos or Mark Trumbo for a pitcher, according to Danny Knobler of CBS Sports.
Knobler says the return will determine which one the Angels ultimately trade, although Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says Trumbo is less likely to be traded than Bourjos.
Alternatively, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the Angels could look to move Kendrys Morales instead of either Trumbo or Bourjos.
In 134 games for the Angels, Morales, 29, hit .273 with a .320 OBP and a .467 SLG, 22 home runs and 73 RBI in 522 plate appearances.
Michael Baron, ContributorMorales is a switch hitter andhad a very good bounce back season after missing most of the previous two seasons due to injuries. He projects more as a first baseman in the National League, although he has played the outfield in his big league career. But he doesn't have a lot of experience out there and hasn't played in the outfield since 2008. That and the fact he is eligible for free agency after the 2013 season (and represented by Scott Boras) makes him an unlikely fit for the Mets.
To read Matthew Cerrone's and Michael Baron's thoughts on Trumbo and Bourjos, click here.
Statistics and information on Mark Trumbo...
Stats: In 144 games with the Angels in 2012, Trumbo hit .268 with a .317 OBP, .491 SLG, and .808 OPS, 32 home runs and 95 RBI in 586 plate appearances.
Contract: Trumbo will be eligible for arbitration after the 2013 season, and can become a free agent after the 2016 season.
Statistics and information on Peter Bourjos...
Stats: In 101 games for the Angels in 2012, Bourjos hit .220 with a .291 OBP, .315 SLG and .606 OPS, three home runs and 19 RBI in 195 plate appearances.
Contract: Bourjos will be eligible for arbitration after the 2013 season, and can become a free agent after the 2016 season.

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

PAWTUCKET — Belying a kindly face and cheery demeanor, the words "tenacious" and "pugnacious" often pop up when people describe Herb Weiss. That artful blend of being able to act like a pit bull while possessing the personality of, say, a Labrador has contributed to the city official's success and led to his being recognized with the Blackstone Valley Excellence in Arts and Business Award from the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council this year.
Weiss, Pawtucket's economic and cultural affairs officer, will be presented with the award during the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's 28th Annual Meeting. The event will be held on Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln.
Also being recognized at the event are the Stillwater Mill, Harrisville, receiving the Footprints in History award; Central Falls Provisions, Central Falls, and Athena's, Woonsocket, for the Blackstone Valley Distinction in Business Award; the Blackstone River Theatre, for the Arista Prize — Rhode Island; William Cantana, president, Cantana Hospitality group, for the Arista Prize — New England; and Alex and Ani, LLC, for the Arista Prize — National.
Additionally, Michael A. Hebet, supervising, historical preservationist/archeologist, RIDOT; and Daryl Sherman, internationally acclaimed singer/pianist, will be inducted into the William Blackstone Society that evening.
For Weiss, the Excellence in Arts and Business Award caps off 14 years spent as a tireless advocate for Pawtucket's arts community and its business landscape. He was originally hired back in 1999 during the administration of Mayor James Doyle by former longtime Planning Director Michael Cassidy. He now works in the same capacity for Mayor Donald Grebien, under Planning Director Barney Heath.
In the Department of Planning and Redevelopment, Weiss works on economic development activities, the oversight of cultural and artistic programs and fundraising for city festivals. He has long been the face of the Pawtucket Arts Festival, and while no longer serving as chairman, is still instrumental in securing donations from area businesses in support of the event.
Weiss is also involved in trying to attract new businesses to the city while also making sure that existing ones don't venture to other communities when seeking more square footage or a different type of space. He knows where all the vacant mills and commercial properties are, and at the first whisper of a business owner or entrepreneur who might be looking for a location, Weiss springs into action. "I put on my dog-and-pony show," he states. "I take people around and show them available places in the city."
Some of the success stories of vacant or underutilized buildings being repurposed include Rag and Bones book bindery, the TK Club and the Rhode Island Antiques Mall. "Economic development doesn't happen in a day, and finding a property is not one phone call," says Weiss. "Sometimes, you work with people and it can take months, or even years. But you have to put your nose to the grindstone until a project is over."
Weiss has been instrumental in the growth and development of Pawtucket's Arts and Entertainment District. He was there at its inception under the Doyle administration, when the state legislature passed a bill allowing artists living and working in the district to not charge sales tax on one-of-a-kind items. Also important to the city was the state's historic tax credits program, which paved the way for many of its mills to be redeveloped, he notes.
In his role, Weiss helped bring recognition for Pawtucket's arts-oriented development strategy to a wider audience. Articles about Pawtucket as an arts community have appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor as well as local newspapers, and in a documentary called "Pawtucket Rising." He has also been invited to other cities to speak about Pawtucket's art initiatives, including Rome, N.Y., Camden, N.J., Philadelphia, P.A., and Portland, M.E.
Weiss said he credits his first bosses, former Mayor James Doyle and former Planning Director Michael Cassidy, with giving him the freedom to handle his newly created role as economic and cultural affairs officer in the way he saw fit. "Creativity is important to me, and both of those individuals gave me room to be creative and enough rope to hang myself," joked Weiss. "They allowed me to do different things and I became an advocate for artists."
Now, under the Grebien administration, Weiss says he considers "the torch to be passed." He looks forward to continuing to help grow and expand the arts community as well as filling the city's 70 or so empty mills with productive owners and tenants.
A native of Texas, Weiss has been a resident of Pawtucket's Oak Hill neighborhood for 18 years, where he lives with his wife, Patricia Zacks. He also is a prolific writer, having authored almost 500 articles on aging, health care, and Baby Boomer issues, and writes a weekly column for the Pawtucket Times and Woonsocket Call on these topics.
In choosing Weiss for the award, Bob Billington, director of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council, said, "We seek out those people who are outstanding in the Blackstone Valley and in Rhode Island as a whole. A large part of the work we do at the Tourism Council relies on these people's strengths and the cumulative effect it has on the Blackstone Valley, and Herb is one of these people," said Billington.
"He's ubiquitous, tireless, and his work brings value to the entire Blackstone Valley," said Billington. "Sometimes, we get so used to seeing these great people and forget to say 'thanks.' Herb, particularly through his work with the arts, is directly related to tourism and we want to honor that."
Mayor Donald Grebien said, "As a resident, taxpayer and mayor of Pawtucket, I'm truly excited that the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council is recognizing Herb for the Arts and Business Award. He is not your average city employee. Herb cares about this community and the people who he works for."
Grebien added that Weiss "continues to be instrumental in creating Pawtucket's arts-oriented programs and development. He is deserving of this tribute and we shouldn't forget to recognize his wife, Pat, who is always there by his side as we continue to grow our city's arts and entertainment district which, in turn, spurs the small businesses in our community."
Former Mayor James Doyle said Weiss, as much as anyone, should be credited for the city's reputation as an arts-friendly community. "Arts became a salvation, as far as Pawtucket was concerned," said Doyle, noting that the success in attracting artists to the vacant mills helped breath new life into the city's economy.
Doyle noted that Weiss was there from the inception of the Pawtucket Arts Festival, when it was little more than a pizza party at the Pawtucket Library, and credits his efforts over the years help it expand.
"It was just Herb being Herb," said Doyle. "The things he did, the contacts he made, the travels he went to, he was always espousing Pawtucket. And he'd always say to me, 'I just want to make you look good, mayor. That's the only reason I'm here.' I can hear him, saying that to me in my sleep."
Michael Cassidy, who hired Weiss, said he is well deserving of the award, as well as the title of "Mr. Pawtucket."
"All the effort and time he put in to bring arts and business to the city, including trying to help artists find uses for all of the mill buildings...being tenacious about people who he heard might have an interest in coming here...is what make him an asset to the city," said Cassidy.
Tickets to the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's 28th Annual Meeting cost $59 per person or $550 for a table of 10, and can be obtained on-line at www.tourblackstone.com or by calling the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council at 401-724-2200.

18 U.S. Code § 4100 - Scope and limitation of chapter
prev | next
(a) The provisions of this chapter relating to the transfer of offenders shall be applicable only when a treaty providing for such a transfer is in force, and shall only be applicable to transfers of offenders to and from a foreign country pursuant to such a treaty. A sentence imposed by a foreign country upon an offender who is subsequently transferred to the United States pursuant to a treaty shall be subject to being fully executed in the United States even though the treaty under which the offender was transferred is no longer in force.
(b) An offender may be transferred from the United States pursuant to this chapter only to a country of which the offender is a citizen or national. Only an offender who is a citizen or national of the United States may be transferred to the United States. An offender may be transferred to or from the United States only with the offender's consent, and only if the offense for which the offender was sentenced satisfies the requirement of double criminality as defined in this chapter. Once an offender's consent to transfer has been verified by a verifying officer, that consent shall be irrevocable. If at the time of transfer the offender is under eighteen years of age, or is deemed by the verifying officer to be mentally incompetent or otherwise incapable of knowingly and voluntarily consenting to the transfer, the transfer shall not be accomplished unless consent to the transfer be given by a parent or guardian, guardian ad litem, or by an appropriate court of the sentencing country. The appointment of a guardian ad litem shall be independent of the appointment of counsel under section 4109 of this title.
(c) An offender shall not be transferred to or from the United States if a proceeding by way of appeal or of collateral attack upon the conviction or sentence be pending.
(d) The United States upon receiving notice from the country which imposed the sentence that the offender has been granted a pardon, commutation, or amnesty, or that there has been an ameliorating modification or a revocation of the sentence shall give the offender the benefit of the action taken by the sentencing country.

Authorization of Appropriations
Pub. L. 95–144, § 5(a),Oct. 28, 1977, 91 Stat. 1221, provided that: "There is authorized to be appropriated such funds as may be required to carry out the purposes of this Act [which enacted this chapter and sections 955 of Title 10, Armed Forces, and 2256 of Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure, amended section 636 of Title 28, and enacted provisions set out as notes under sections 3006A, 4100, and 4102 of this title]".
Prisoner Transfer Treaties
Pub. L. 104–208, div. C, title III, § 330,Sept. 30, 1996, 110 Stat. 3009–631, provided that:
"(a) Negotiations With Other Countries.—(1) Congress advises the President to begin to negotiate and renegotiate, not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act [Sept. 30, 1996], bilateral prisoner transfer treaties, providing for the incarceration, in the country of the alien's nationality, of any alien who—
"(A) is a national of a country that is party to such a treaty; and
"(B) has been convicted of a criminal offense under Federal or State law and who—
"(i) is not in lawful immigration status in the United States, or
"(ii) on the basis of conviction for a criminal offense under Federal or State law, or on any other basis, is subject to deportation or removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.],for the duration of the prison term to which the alien was sentenced for the offense referred to in subparagraph (B). Any such agreement may provide for the release of such alien pursuant to parole procedures of that country.
"(2) In entering into negotiations under paragraph (1), the President may consider providing for appropriate compensation, subject to the availability of appropriations, in cases where the United States is able to independently verify the adequacy of the sites where aliens will be imprisoned and the length of time the alien is actually incarcerated in the foreign country under such a treaty.
"(b) Sense of Congress.—It is the sense of the Congress that—
"(1) the focus of negotiations for such agreements should be—
"(A) to expedite the transfer of aliens unlawfully in the United States who are (or are about to be) incarcerated in United States prisons,
"(B) to ensure that a transferred prisoner serves the balance of the sentence imposed by the United States courts,
"(C) to eliminate any requirement of prisoner consent to such a transfer, and
"(D) to allow the Federal Government or the States to keep their original prison sentences in force so that transferred prisoners who return to the United States prior to the completion of their original United States sentences can be returned to custody for the balance of their prisons [sic] sentences;
"(2) the Secretary of State should give priority to concluding an agreement with any country for which the President determines that the number of aliens described in subsection (a) who are nationals of that country in the United States represents a significant percentage of all such aliens in the United States; and
"(3) no new treaty providing for the transfer of aliens from Federal, State, or local incarceration facilities to a foreign incarceration facility should permit the alien to refuse the transfer.
"(c) Prisoner Consent.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as required by treaty, the transfer of an alien from a Federal, State, or local incarceration facility under an agreement of the type referred to in subsection (a) shall not require consent of the alien.
"(d) Annual Report.—Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act [Sept. 30, 1996], and annually thereafter, the Attorney General shall submit a report to the Committees on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and of the Senate stating whether each prisoner transfer treaty to which the United States is a party has been effective in the preceding 12 months in bringing about the return of deportable incarcerated aliens to the country of which they are nationals and in ensuring that they serve the balance of their sentences.
"(e) Training Foreign Law Enforcement Personnel.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the President shall direct the Border Patrol Academy and the Customs Service Academy to enroll for training an appropriate number of foreign law enforcement personnel, and shall make appointments of foreign law enforcement personnel to such academies, as necessary to further the following United States law enforcement goals:
"(A) Preventing of drug smuggling and other cross-border criminal activity.
"(B) Preventing illegal immigration.
"(C) Preventing the illegal entry of goods into the United States (including goods the sale of which is illegal in the United States, the entry of which would cause a quota to be exceeded, or the appropriate duty or tariff for which has not been paid).
"(2) The appointments described in paragraph (1) shall be made only to the extent there is capacity in such academies beyond what is required to train United States citizens needed in the Border Patrol and Customs Service, and only of personnel from a country with which the prisoner transfer treaty has been stated to be effective in the most recent report referred to in subsection (d).
"(f) Authorization of Appropriations.—There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section."
[For transfer of functions, personnel, assets, and liabilities of the United States Customs Service of the Department of the Treasury, including functions of the Secretary of the Treasury relating thereto, to the Secretary of Homeland Security, and for treatment of related references, see sections 203 (1), 551 (d), 552 (d), and 557 of Title 6, Domestic Security, and the Department of Homeland Security Reorganization Plan of November 25, 2002, as modified, set out as a note under section 542 of Title 6.]

WATERBURY, VT - Several Vermont law enforcement agencies have been investigating numerous phone scams. At this time, there are several reported incidents that tend to fall into one of three types of scams: lottery/winnings, home security, or debt collector/money fraud.
The targeted victims' profiles vary by scam, but the victims all report the fraudulent caller as having a heavy accent and, in several incidents, threatening and hostile. Due to the increasing frequency and similarities of these scams, police are asking the public to be aware of the issue and report any incidents they feel are inappropriate to their local law enforcement agency.
Police encourage citizens to protect themselves against fraud, and visit the Federal Trade Center's website on phone fraud: http://www.ftc.gov/phonefraud to learn how to:
· Recognize the most common telemarketing scams.
· Report phone fraud, providing important information to help law enforcement officials bring scammers to justice.
· Register your phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry.
Lottery Winnings Scam
Elderly victims have been contacted via telephone by individuals claiming to be from a lottery-type organization.
There are several variations of this scam, but in it the victims are being told they have won a prize and, in order to receive it, they must pay the taxes and shipping. The victims are then told to send the money via Western Union, wire transfer through a third party, or pre-paid cash cards. The individuals then intimidate the victims into becoming third party recipients of these transfers for other victims. In one incident, the victim received an email notifying her of her winnings first and then began receiving phone calls requesting her to send money out-of-state to obtain her prizes. (Source: Vermont State Police – St. Johnsbury & Lyndonville Police Department)
Home Security Scam
Victims are receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be with GE Security. Details varied in the calls but, in all, the victims were informed they could receive a free security system. The individuals are asking for the victim's personal information and credit card information for initial deposits. Individuals in the Newport area have been targeted in this scam. (Source: Richmond Police Department & Vermont State Police – Brattleboro)
Debt Collector or Money Fraud
This is a nationwide fraud scheme specifically targeting victims who have obtained a "payday loan" online from a company located outside the U.S. The victim obtains the loan and shortly thereafter receives numerous calls from an individual claiming to be a debt collector and has details of the victim's personal information.
The callers identify themselves with various titles (e.g. investigator, officer) and claim they work for legal or collection firms with variations of "Anderson Legal" or "American Legal." The victims are threatened with legal consequences including arrest by law enforcement.
In a similar scam, the victim is contacted by an "attorney" advising that the target is being charged with money fraud and has an active lawsuit against him or her. The "attorney" has the victim's bank account information already and advises the victim to send a cash settlement to dismiss the lawsuit. When refused, the "attorney" becomes threatening and tells the victim he is going to his or her house to collect the money. (Source: Federal Protective Service & Lyndonville Police Department)

Re: 10th grade army ng next year ???
It's my understanding that the answer is no, not unless you are going to drop and pursue a GED....which I don't recommend (nor would your parents let you). Otherwise, you can join as a junior, do basic training in the summer...and then complete your senior year, followed by AIT in the summer.

Re: 10th grade army ng next year ???
The answers you have gotten are correct. You cannot go in at 17 until you are a Junior. However, I encourage you to talk to a recruiter in your area and get preliminary qualifications out of the way. In other words, put your medical, and criminal histories on the table as well as other X factor things that can disqualify you. This way you can be prepared way in advance if it looks more likely that you may not join the military. Too many times I have seen young guys screw up their oppurtunties by thinking they were joining the (insert Military branch of your choice here), just to find out that you can't join with one eyball, three arms, or being wanted in 48 states.
This way if your focus should be in grades and college you will know ahead of time. And, if the recruiter won't talk to you until you are 17, print this freakin thread out and make him read it.

An earthquake in February 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand, left the citys main Anglican cathedrala Gothic-style, stone edifice completed in 1904in a sorry state. Its condition went from bad to worse when a second jolt in February shattered its magnificent rose window. In need of an immediate venue, church authorities invited Shigeru Ban to build them a temporary facility.
Similar to his work in quake-ravaged Kobe, Japan, Ban chose to use paper tubes to build the cathedral. The 9700-square-foot buildings A-frame sanctuary will seat 700 worshippers. Topping the sanctuary will be a massive, pitched roof made of paper tubes and covered with polycarbonate sheets that will allow daylight into the building. Filled with earthquake rubble, shipping containers will form the buildings base.
Construction is expected to finish by February 2012, in time for the quakes first anniversary.

Are you ready to marry a bright single woman with a higher education degree and a higher paid job? A recent Pew Research Center report confirms the rise of the breadwinning wife. In addition, as the result of the recession, men, not women, now receive the greatest economic boost from marriage. This has to do with the fact that women are marrying later, that more of them are earning college degrees and that pay scales for women are rising. An educated, working wife is a valuable asset.
The universality hypothesis is the prediction that, in all contexts, women with a higher economic standing will delay marriage formation. In other words, women's higher economic standing will decrease their chance of marriage. Some researchers suggest, however, that only in industrialized countries with a high degree of role differentiation by gender does the inverse relationship between women's economic standing and the chance of marriage exist. For example, Hiromi Ono's study (2003) showed that a higher level of women's income decreases the chance of first marriage in a period among Japanese women but increases the chance of first marriage among both American and Swedish women. The results are consistent with the view that when women make economic contributions in industrialized countries with a relatively high degree of role differentiation, they experience stresses and inefficiencies in their lives in ways that conflict with the formation of marriage. In countries with a relatively low degree of role differentiation by gender, however, women of high economic status are more attractive in the marriage market because of the symmetry in the criteria of mate selection between the sexes. Nowadays, the recession, added to longstanding trends which have affected male workers disproportionately, is hastening this cultural shift away from traditional ideals of married families.

The MDA strives to provide membership value through the provision of programs designed to assist dentists and meet professional and personal needs. The following programs and viagra without a prescription types services are available to all MDA members.
Mississippi Dental Association Relief Fund
The purpose of the MDA Relief Fund and the ADA Foundation Relief Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to dentists and their dependents who, because of accidental injury, a medical condition or advanced age, are not self-supporting.
Individuals applying to the MDA / ADAF Relief Grant Program for the first time, apply for an initial grant, which can be given for a maximum of six months. The grant recipient receives a check each month from the ADAF Relief Grant Program. Subsequent extensions to an initial grant, a renewal grant, may be made for a maximum period of 12 months. Requests to renew either grant involve the same application process as an initial grant. An emergency grant can be made in cases of special emergency and is a single payment. An emergency grant can be given only once to an individual.
Mississippi Association of Recovering Dentists (MARD)
The Mississippi Association of Recovering Dentists (MARD) provides support for the addicted dentist who is in recovery, helps educate the dental community regarding addiction problems, aids in the identification of dentists who are in need of intervention and treatment, and participates in the state program referred to as the Mississippi Professionals Health Program.
MARD is established to help the dentist at the first sign of a problem, with the goal of assisting the dentist toward optimum health while maintaining the ability to continue professional practice or to return to practice. MARD seeks to involve recovering dentists in the activities and educational programs of the MDA.
Reports of possible dentist impairment are evaluated and, if warranted, an intervention is conducted. The impaired dentist is referred for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The recovering dentist is monitored and supported through a five-year Recovery Contract Agreement. The Mississippi Recovering Dentist Program serves as an active dentist advocate during this aftercare phase. The Dental Examining Board takes no formal action unless there issues on non-compliance or public safety. Throughout the process, public safety is paramount and relapse or non-compliance is immediately reported to the Dental Examining Board, hospitals and appropriate agencies.
MARD accepts referrals from any source including dental peers, Dentist Well-being Committees, hospitals, regulatory agencies, office staff, family members, treatment centers and friends. MARD protects the confidentiality and anonymity of both program participants and referents to the fullest extent of the law.
For additional information or to make a referral, contact:
Mississippi Dental Crisis Action Team (MDCAT)
The Mississippi Dental Crisis Action Team (MDCAT) assists members in coping with personal or professional crises to enable them and/or their family members to continue to lead productive, balanced lives through the provision of quality care for their dental patients.
Information to Form a Dental Coverage Group
The MDA became aware of a successful project conducted by a study club in District II. Members of this study club joined together under the direction of Dr. Brant Kairit and formed a dental coverage group. This group then put their agreement and volunteers to the test when a group member experienced an accident and was unable to work for several weeks. The volunteer group mobilized and kept the dental practice of the injured dentist operational while he recovered.
In Mississippi, we have all experienced first hand the importance of disaster and emergency preparedness. Because of that fact, the MDA wanted to make this information from the coverage group in District II available to other potential groups throughout our six dental districts. The MDA believes that such groups could be beneficial to a number of dentists throughout our state, particularly sole practitioners, and the Association encourages dentists to consider whether this concept would be beneficial in their geographical area of practice.
The linked information we have provided to assist you in considering the formation of a coverage group includes:
- an article written by Dr. Spencer Lee, our Mississippi Dental Crisis Action Team (MDCAT) chairman explaining the coverage group model
- a sample agreement (should be customized to address the needs and preferences of each individual group)
- a sample volunteer sign-up form (contains information needed on the group volunteers)
- a sample worksheet to identify group members, contact numbers and schedule availability (would be for utilized to assist in scheduling volunteers to cover an office)
For several years, the MDA has offered a MDCAT program for our members in an effort to collectively respond and assist a member or member's family in the aftermath of a tragedy or loss. Through the years, MDCAT has called on and organized MDA volunteers to help out in these situations. While the program has been successful, the reality is that each situation outcome has relied strictly on the volunteer response of MDA colleagues. Even though the coverage groups rely on that same principle, the difference is the actual agreement that group members sign and the fact that the number in the group is limited versus being open-ended.
Please note that the MDA will not actually organize these dental coverage groups. Our goal is to equip local community dentists in each district and study club leaders with the information so they can follow up and organize local coverage groups. It is also important to note that the relationships among dentists participating in a coverage group are contractual in nature, and the terms of these relationships can differ depending on the needs and desires of the participating dentists. Accordingly, the information pieces we have provided are for guidance only, and we encourage dentists considering the formation of a coverage group to pay careful attention to the specific terms of their arrangement. These documents have not been approved by legal counsel, and individual coverage groups may want to consider engaging their own legal counsel in assisting them in documenting the rights and obligations of participants in the coverage group.
We hope you will consider this opportunity for your local community of dentist colleagues. Please be sure to make the MDA office aware of your formed group. That way if a new dentist expresses a desire to join a coverage group, we will be able to refer that individual to a potential resource in their community.
Mississippi Dental Disaster Team
The Mississippi Dental Disaster Team responds to those situations that require application of dental knowledge to the purposes of the law. This includes response to any mass disaster within the state of Mississippi where medical treatment and forensic identification of victims may be necessary. Disasters may be classified as related to weather, industry, accidents, fire, bioterrorism or attacks.
It is human nature to think that bad things happen to other people - not us. But Hurricane Katrina showed Mississippians that theory simply is not true. Thinking ahead to the possible is an important part of managing a crisis.
The Florida Dental Association, another group very familiar with the potential devastation of hurricanes developed a disaster manual for dentists. The MDA has customized the information from this resource for our Mississippi dental community. Please download the MDA Disaster Manual to assist you in planning for any unexpected events you may encounter.
Click here for the MDA Disaster Manual
MDA Mediation and Peer Review Program
The MDA provides a mediation and peer review program to help resolve the occasional disagreement about dental treatment in an effort to avoid litigation. This program does not consider issues about the appropriateness of fees, insurance, billing disputes, or office practice policies.
If a patient's complaint meets the MDA peer review criteria, he or she may call the MDA office at 601-664-9691 for assistance through the peer review process. Steps of the process are as follows:
• The patient receives forms to complete and return to the MDA Central Office in Jackson.
• The forms are reviewed to see if the issue meets the peer review criteria.
• The forms are then sent to a local district dental society for consideration by a panel of dentists.
A mediation trained dentist will contact the involved parties and make every attempt to help the patient and dentist reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. If mediation is not successful, the case proceeds to a committee hearing where a panel of dentists will present findings and recommendations for a resolution. This process is non-binding and voluntary and is provided under Mississippi state law code.

Our Price: $1.00The truth is you will reach your favorite opening in barely half the games you play against 1. d4, and that's why this book is a godsend to those players fed up with blindly searching for the right way to play against these annoying White systems designed to avoid the main lines: the Trompowsky; the London System; the Torre Attack; the Barry Attack; the Colle System; the Veresov; the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit - the list goes on and on! Learn More
Ruy Lopez: Breyer SystemOur Price: $2.75This book takes a detailed look at a system that has been favored by Karpov, Spassky, Portisch, and Gligoric, among others.

This books offers a solid system for Ruy Lopez players. Learn More

These 'hold the draw in hand and go for the win' openings have been researched like never before. There is more dynamic play, for those that know them, than ever realized. Here is something to build on if later in your career you want to head for the Giuoco Piano or Ruy Lopez." - Ken Smith. Learn More
Ponziani OpeningOur Price: $4.95The Ponziani (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3)has been an opening that has been overlooked frequently through the years. However it was played quite frequently throughout the 80's in Master-level and above tournament play. White has many ways to challenge each variant of Black's setup. Harding shows that Black's game is not as easy as many Black theorists would want you to believe. Learn More
Nimzovich Attack: Norfolk GambitsOur Price: $4.95This is Volume 1 in the author's new series Chess Openings For Hustlers. "You will find similar lines of attack and similar combination situations in several different lines. These can be either very useful (if you take the time to learn them) or very treacherous. The one thing the Norfolk Gambit should not do is bore you"-author. "Be warned: If you are a `bean counter' obsessed with saving pawns for an extended end-game, do not play these gambits! However, if you are willing to commit to an attack which will decimate the 'bean counters' of the chess world, this book is for you"- Phillip A. York. Learn More
Play the Sicilian Defense: Winning Against 1. e4Our Price: $4.95Play the Sicilian Defense: Winning Against 1. e4 Learn More
Blackburne-Hartlaub GambitOur Price: $4.95In this Chess Openings for Hustlers Volume II the author looks at both the Accepted 3.exd6 and the Declined 3.Nf3 and 3.Bf4. The idea of this gambit is well worth the effort of the player who wants to learn an aggressive Black defense against 1.d4 where white doesn't control the flow of the game. The book contains 155 games divided into variations with light analysis played by a variety of players ranging from Master to class C. A player index has been provided which lists players grouped by "Class" to help the reader evaluate the games. Learn More

The Tchigorin DefenseOur Price: $4.95The Tchigorin Defense Learn More
Grand Prix AttackOur Price: $4.95When faced with the Sicilian Defense, you have to make the choice to either wade through a maze of variations in the main line or diverge early into a relatively lesser known system. The early advance of white's f-pawn fits this objective perfectly. White gains more space in the center and kingside with 2.f4, forming the basis for lasting pressure and often leading to violent attacks against the black kingside. After 1.e4 c5 2.f4, this variation fell out of fashion int he early 90's due to 2..d5. But take heart! Smith and Hall show that this variation still has some venom! Learn More
The Veresov AttackOur Price: $4.95The Veresov Attack is a vigorous opening system which offers a wealth of interesting strategic and tactical chances for white. It is interesting to note that it sort of resembles a sort of "Queenside Ruy Lopez". This often leads to rapid queenside castling with sharpened play. Alternately, white can simply continue to develop his kingside pieces followed by kingside castling. This "dual castling" motif of the Veresov can keep black guessing as to white's true intentions. Learn More
Philidor Defense - A Re-AppraisalOur Price: $4.95This edition is a good guide to show the players the ideas in one of the most classic, solid openings against the Classic White's King's pawn setup. All the important variations are covered in Harding's classic style. Learn More
The CatalanOur Price: $4.95The Catalan Opening is currently in the repertoire of most all of the world's elite players. It has even been played at the World Championship level many times! This is largely because it combines strategic pressure with possibilities for a very sharp, complicated tactical struggle. This is perfect for those who insist on decisive chess. However, there are also some quieter, more solid lines. The Catalan combines the Queen's Gambit pawn duo(d4 and c4) with the hypermodern fianchettoed KB as with 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.g3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3. From g2, the KB strikes through the center squares e4 and d5 and beyond to c6, b7, and a8, applying pressure to Black's Queenside. Another important advantage of the Catalan is that it can be used to side step popular Black defenses such as the Nimzo-Indian and Queen's-Indian. It can also be reached by transpositions from many different move orders. This is very good against strong opposition! Learn More

How to Play Against the Staunton GambitOur Price: $4.95How to Play Against the Staunton Gambit Learn More
Beating the Pirc/Modern with the Fianchetto VariationOur Price: $4.95One of the most solid and consistently successful systems available against 1..d6 and 1..g6 is the subtle Fianchetto. If you play 1.e4, you will want to know how to beat the Pirc/Modern. If you play either of these 2 defenses, you will want to know what will be played against you. The White setup is pawns at e4, d4, and g3, White Knights at c3 and e2, and Bishops at g2 and usually e3 - then attack, attack! Learn More
The Noteboom VariationOur Price: $4.95The Noteboom Variation Learn More
The Aggressive Nimzowitsh SicilianOur Price: $4.95The Aggressive Nimzowitsh Sicilian Learn More
How to Play the Torre Attack - Second, Thoroughly Revised EditionOur Price: $4.95White plays 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 followed by Bg5. The Torre Attack is a very flexible opening employed by white which involves quick development and fight for control of the e4 square. A standard setup would involve placing the queen's knight on d2, light-squared bishop to d3, king's rook to e1 after a quick castling, and pawn to e3 or e4. However, there is a flexibility that allows for many different setups, depending on the strategic path that the white player wishes to employ and black's setup. This flexible, dynamic system has been employed by virtually every top GM at some point in their career, even at the World Championship match level. Schiller shows why this opening system should be part of every player's repertoire. Learn More
SHOPWORN - Slay the Sicilian!
Regular Price: $27.95
Our Price: $5.00
Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor presents a repertoire for White against the most popular opening in chess – the Sicilian Defence. Taylor's repertoire is based first and foremost on the Open Sicilian, which is regarded as White's most ambitious and challenging response to the Sicilian.Learn More
SHOPWORN - Winning Chess Openings
Regular Price: $24.95
Our Price: $5.00
The two greatest challenges for beginning chess players are not only to survive the openings phase, but also to choose appropriate attack and defense formations in the process. WINNING CHESS OPENINGS shows you how to do both. In Yasser Seirawan's entertaining, easy-to-follow style, you're shown formations that can be used with other White or Black pieces.
The Dynamic Philidor Counter-GambitOur Price: $5.95Black defends his King's pawn before proceding with similar play as in the Greco Counter-Gambit. Suddenly White does not have positional play against a Philidor Defense, but is thrown into tactical complications of this gambit. You, as Black, will know what to do while your opponent eats time on his clock trying, repeat trying, to find his way. Black is playing to win. Learn More
New Sicilian GambitsOur Price: $6.95GM Soltis: "If white gets to attack in the Sicilian Defense anyway, why should he offer a pawn or two for the privilege? The answer is that black gets to counterplay in the Sicilian and his counterplay is usually as good as white's. That, in fact, is what makes the Sicilian popular. There are plenty of familiar Sicilian gambits(like the Smith Morra and Wing, which this book doesn't even cover). But in the last few years, a number of new ideas arising out of positional variations, have been discovered and found to pack a wallop for white". Here are six new white gambits against the Sicilian that the reader will have to attempt to destroy black! Learn More
Lasker's Defense to the Queen's GambitOur Price: $6.95Lasker's Defense to the Queen's Gambit Learn More
A Winning White RepertoireOur Price: $6.95The main system is the Torre Attack 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 or 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 followed by Bg5. Then you are taught how to meet the Nimzo-Indian, King's Indian, Pirc/Old Indian, Benoni, and Dutch Defenses. This opening is very solid and easy to learn and the non-professional players will find it very handy. However, it is a very powerful opening and has been employed by such chess superstars as Korchnoi, Kasparov, Timman, Petrosian, Bronstein, Yusupov, Keres, Smyslov, and Spassky! Most importantly, this book consists of more than just variations, but 100 deeply annotated complete games as well. Learn More
