The Asia-Pacific Statistics Newsletter, Fourth Quarter 2014, provides information on "The first Ministerial Conference on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) in Asia and the Pacific"; features an Interview with Mr Trevor Sutton, Deputy Australian Statistician and Chair of the Strategic Advisory Body for the Modernization of Statistical Production and Services in Asia and the Pacific (SAB-AP); provides update on the areas of work; and announces important events and meetings.
The Incheon Strategy to "Make the Right Real" for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific provides the Asian and Pacific region, and the world, with the first set of regionally agreed disability-inclusive development goals. The Incheon Strategy goals cover a range of development areas from poverty reduction and employment to political participation, accessibility, social protection, education, gender equality, disaster risk reduction, data collection, CRPD ratification and international cooperation.
This paper sets out to show how space technology and geospatial data, combined with non-space derived data such as socio-economic data, can enhance the understanding and observation of global, and how it can play an important role in providing valuable information such as trends and patterns in climate change, patterns of urbanization, mapping of water resources and GPS in trans-boundary regional transportation.
It is well known that the Asia-Pacific suffers the most from disasters due to the growing population and economies becoming more exposed to disaster hazards. For decades, international agreements have advocated building resilience to disasters, including the implementation of disaster risk reduction strategies. Many countries have developed policy instruments to address disaster risk reduction.
Modern societies are characterized by high-tech computers, the Internet and huge amounts of data generated by the digital footprint of modern lives. Despite all this data the world learned a very obvious but valuable lesson from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – without data it is not possible to set baselines or monitor progress towards the achievement of the development targets. As a consequence, the Secretary-General's High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda called for a "new data revolution" for sustainable development.
The United Nations recognizes that productivity capacity building is the key for self-sustained growth and graduation of LDCs in Asia and the Pacific. To achieve this objective, substantial financing must be mobilized to invest in infrastructure, social development and climate changechallenges. Despite the significant progresses made by the Asia-Pacific LDCs in restoring macroeconomic stability, deepening the banking sector and attracting FDI and remittances, for many, fiscal spaces remain narrow and financial markets largely inefficient and undiversified.
The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of regional progress in implementing the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Survey data collected in 2013 from ESCAP countries, and publicly available data suggest that there has been progress in the past decade towards achieving the WSIS objectives. However, progress is incomplete, and in some instances the digital divide has actually increased as more advanced countries have surged ahead in implementation of WSIS objectives.
This Staff working paper explores potential synergies in deploying fiber optic cables for data transmission and other infrastructures, chiefly transport and energy. It provides information on the cost of deploying fibre optics, exploring potential win-win strategies in the co-deployment and cohabitation of fibre and transport infrastructure and drawing lessons from good practices in the Asia- Pacific region and beyond. It contains a set of key policy measures to maximize win-win outcomes, which include synergies with the Asian Highway and Trans-Asian Railway.

The PBS Kids Writers Contest will again give north country students an outlet to showcase their talents in a writing and illustration project.
The annual contest sponsored by WPBS-TV is designed to promote the advancement of childrens literacy skills through hands-on, active learning.Teri-Gene Conlin, outreach manager of WPBS-TV, said the goal is to inspire children in kindergarten through third grade to celebrate creativity and build literacy skills by writing and illustrating their own stories.
We really want to encourage children and encourage their parents to get their kids involved in this contest, Mrs. Conlin said. Really, who knows what its going to start when children use their imagination?
The contest is open to children in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. WPBS-TV will select local winners and award prizes in the spring. The deadline for submissions is March 31.
Entries will be judged on originality, creative expression, storytelling and integration of text and illustrations.
The sponsoring PBS station will empanel a jury of at least three people to judge local submissions on the following criteria: creativity and originality of plot and/or themes, 40 percent; story structure and use of literary devices, 40 percent; and relevance, quality and originality of illustration, 20 percent.
Each year since the contest began 15 years ago, more than 100 students have submitted their original works about sports, princess/fairy tale adventures, biographical stories and more. Mrs. Conlin said its a favorite time of year at the PBS station when the submissions come in. Local winners are chosen and their work later is submitted to the national contest, in which a panel of judges will rank the top 12 entries.
National winners will be announced during the summer, and the winning stories will be featured on pbskids.org/writerscontest.
Contest rules allow only one entry per person and limit each story to a single author. Stories can be fact or fiction, and prose or poetry.
Submissions from kindergarten and first-grade participants must have a minimum of 50 words and a maximum of 200 words. Stories by second- and third-graders must have a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 350 words. Stories must have at least five original, clear and colorful illustrations.
The original art can include drawings, collages, and 3-D created by the author or photographs taken by the author.
Some of the kids really make their stories come to life in these pictures and the stories, Mrs. Conlin said. We live in such a digital age, it can be a real creative boost when at the end of it they have a physical product, a book made entirely by them in their hands.
The last nationally recognized local participant was second-grader Ritaj El Ghissassi from Massena. Ritajs story, titled My First Shooting Star, was uploaded to the organizations website.
Projects can be submitted to the PBS Kids Writers Contest. For more information about the contest, go to www.wpbstv.org/writerscontest, or call Mrs. Conlin at 782-3142, ext. 315.

I know I could add a group on Linux simply
by editing /etc/group. But where is "groupadd"?? It is not on my linux system (did
a "find" through my whole linux system and it's nowhere (not even in the usual
paths such as /usr/sbin, /sbin..where tools + binaries are located.
Anyway, "man groupadd" confirms there's no groupadd) and it is nowhere
on the linux install cd rom..and I find it nowhere to download on the internet!
Is it part of a package of tools? If yes, which one??
As for the utility "tree", I guess I can find it on the net,
it looks like groupadd might be in the 'shadow-utils' package
tree seems to be in the tree package (funny, that...)
you can download them from rpmfind.net if you can't find the package on your cds. just type the package name into the search

Helper City officials have learned that the state liquor store in their town is on the list of possible closures.
Legislative analysts have recommended the closing of as many as 12 stores across the state as a budget-cutting measure.
Councilman Kirk Mascaro informed his colleagues at last Thursday's council meeting that Helper's outlet was on that list.
The closure would leave only Price and East Carbon with state stores.

Video: Tab For SUNY Conference Tops 300k
Video: Tab for SUNY Conference Tops 300k
BUFFALO, NY - The State University of New York (SUNY) annual Critical Issues in Higher Education Conference, attracting 350 attendees from all over the country, was held over two days in November at the Millennium Broadway Hotel near Times Square.
The Albany Times Union says conference costs totaled just over $300,000 ...about 12% of which ($37,000) went to stage a cocktail reception at the NASDAQ headquarters in Manhattan.
"That was a small portion of a much larger event," said David Doyle, SUNY's Director of Communication. "SUNY hosted the event, but it was covered by the registration of the attendees. There was no public money spent," Doyle told WGRZ-TV, while noting the cost of the conference was picked up by the SUNY Research Foundation, which he says is not supported directly by state tax dollars, but by grants, including from the federal government.
However, it is also true that the Research Foundation, which administered a record $940.5 million in contracts and grants for research programs conducted at SUNY campuses in 2011, lists as its largest New York state sponsor the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC).
As for attendees who are employed by SUNY, Doyle said, "certainly there were attendees who were college presidents, other administrators, faculty and members of the (SUNY) Board of Trustees. I can't speak to how a registrant paid to get to the conference... If they came from a SUNY campus it's possible it came from a travel budget, but it's also possible it came from their foundations... It would clearly run the spectrum where the registration fees came from."
"Obviously at times like these you have to really watch every dollar," said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY). "They're cutting back on SUNY programs while tuition goes up, so I'd be very careful before I spent money on things like this. I don't know the details on this specific event, but I'd be real careful I'd put the priorities in the classroom and to keep tuition down."
But Doyle says a primary aim of the conference was to explore the re-tooling of SUNY to meet those economic challenges, and the challenges faced by higher education as a whole.
"You are bringing together experts in the field of education to talk about best practices and to talk about shared services...It was a good event and it was done for all the right reasons," he said.
Doyle noted the 2011 conference was held in Buffalo, and was quick to cite a news release, prepared by SUNY, which claims the conference had an economic impact of $600,000 on the Western New York economy.

POTSDAM — Thanks to the help of Clarkson University students, alumni, friends, faculty and staff, women's hockey standout Vanessa Gagnon has reached the final top-10 for the Favorite NCAA Elite 89 Award winner. Clarkson was asking everyone to vote for her in one last push to catapult her to the top.
Voting ended at 8 p.m. Thursday.
The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 89 championships.
Voting last week narrowed the favorites field down to 30 and yesterday the vote tallies were determined for the 10 favorite finalists.
The recipient of the Elite 89 award for the 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Hockey Championship, Gagnon is a fourth-year MBA graduate student at Clarkson. She finished her undergraduate degree in innovation and entrepreneurship during her junior year with a 3.95 and is currently one of only two students to maintain a perfect 4.0 in Clarkson's MBA program. She is also pursuing an additional certification in environmental management.
Gagnon was presented with the NCAA Elite 89 Award during the championship banquet on March 20 in Hamden, Conn.

NEW YORK — Six days ago, when Syracuse lost by 22 points at Georgetown, most Orange fans figured this season would conclude with Jim Boeheim's team failing to reach its potential again.
But, there is still a lot of fight in this group after all.
Needing to right the ship in a hurry with the Big East Conference and NCAA Tournaments coming up, SU has done just that. And they punctuated the quick turnaround with a heart-stopping 58-55 overtime win over top-seeded Georgetown in Friday night's Big East semifinals.
SU (26-8), the fifth seed, will play second-seed Louisville for its sixth conference title at 8:30 tonight at a sold-out Madison Square Garden. Louisville beat Notre Dame, 69-57, in the other semifinal.
After squandering as much as a 12-point, second-half lead, the Orange went without a field goal over the final 7 minutes, 12 seconds of the second half, saw Georgetown tie the game at 51-51 on two Otto Porter free throws with 7.3 seconds left, and go to overtime after Michael Carter-Williams missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
But the Orange, which sometimes didn't show enough toughness down the stretch against good teams, displayed the kind of grit and fortitude that SU fans haven't seen in awhile in the five-minute overtime session.
Senior Brandon Triche scored on a strong drive to start overtime and set the tone for SU.
Junior center Baye Moussa Keita — almost a forgotten man for much of the season — then came through big-time with a key follow shot in overtime as part of a clutch 13-point performance.
Junior forward C.J. Fair, who struggled through a woeful 3-for-16 shooting effort, connected for a rim-rattling dunk with 2:02 left to give SU a four-point lead.
The Orange could have put this one away earlier, but it missed four of five free throws in the final 51.8 seconds. But the SU defense, stellar again throughout, denied the Hoyas on three of their final four possessions.
Fair also came up with a huge steal with Georgetown (25-6) looking for the winning 3-pointer. He subsequently missed a pair of foul shots. But with just a few seconds left, Georgetown's Jabril Trawick could only heave up a three-quarter court shot at the buzzer.
"After they beat us twice, we wanted a chance to get back at them,'' said Triche, who scored 13 points along with James Southerland. "We read a lot of the trash talk on the internet about how they dominated us, so this one was easy to get motivated for.''
Boeheim said this was "one of the biggest wins we've ever had here. And it was a testimony to our character, our toughness and the fact that we made just enough plays when it counted. We obviously struggled on offense the second half, but all you need to do is score one more point than them and we did that.''
Southerland, who made four more 3-pointers to tie former SU standout Gerry McNamara for the tournament 3-point record with 16, said, "it would have been easy just to pack it in and hang our heads the way we had been playing before we got here. But these guys have a lot of pride and we didn't want to end our careers like that.''
One of the other SU heroes was little-used redshirt freshman guard Trevor Cooney. He contributed 10 points in the first half and picked up the Orange when it started the game struggling on offense.
"Trevor was the best player on the court for 15 minutes,'' Boeheim said. "We have faith in him even though he's been struggling. We know he can make shots, but nobody saw this coming.''
After scoring just six points in the opening eight minutes, the Orange outscored the Hoyas 23-9 over the final 14 minutes of the first half.
A Cooney 15-foot baseline jumper started the SU surge, and a Southerland 3-pointer eventually tied the game at 17. That began an eventual 13-0 run, which included two Cooney 3-pointers and a driving lay-up, plus a Carter-Williams steal and dunk.
Georgetown went more than seven minutes without a point, missing nine consecutive shots, before Trawick hit a three with 42.5 seconds remaining.
Keita garnered an offensive rebound with 15.7 seconds left, was fouled, and converted both ends of the 1-and-1 as SU went into intermission with a 29-20 lead.
"Just like the past two days, we got good ball movement and showed good patience on offense the first half,'' Boeheim said. "Like Pitt, Georgetown is a tremendous defensive team, so we had to work extra hard just to get 29 points. The last time we only got 39 the whole game.''
Defensively, SU held Big East Player of the year Porter to just 12 points on 4-for-13 shooting. He had scored 33 at Syracuse in an 11-point win on Feb. 23.
"Just being aware of where he was at all times, and making him take tough shots,'' was Southerland's explanation of the good defensive effort on the All-American forward.
Mikael Hopkins scored 15 points for Georgetown, hurting the Orange inside. "But we were willing to give him a few to make sure their big guys (Porter, Markel Starks) didn't hurt us like they did in the other two games.''
So, SU lives to play another day. A week ago, that would have been just a pipe dream.
"We're in sync now, and trusting in each other again,'' Southerland said. "The last couple games we've really kept our composure when we needed to most, and just stayed together. That could lead us to a championship.''

Doug McDermott Wins Senior CLASS Award
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Three-time All-American Doug McDermott of Creighton has been selected as the 2013-14 Senior CLASS Award® winner in NCAA® Division I men's basketball.
The award, chosen by a nationwide vote of Division I men's basketball coaches, national basketball media and fans, is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in Division I men's basketball. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – classroom, community, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
"I am honored to accept the Senior CLASS Award and wish to thank my family, teammates and coaches who have made it possible," McDermott said. "I have done my best to set an example for others and am humbled to be in the same company of the past winners of this prestigious award."
McDermott will graduate in May with a degree in marketing. He has compiled a GPA of 3.00 or better in four of the last six semesters. A team captain as a junior and senior, McDermott completed more than 100 hours of community service in the Omaha area and was named Creighton's Male Athlete of the Year.
"While I am thrilled with the success that Doug had on the court, I am equally pleased with the way he has conducted himself as a role model and mentor off the court," said head coach Greg McDermott. "Doug embodies what the Senior CLASS Award is all about, and we're proud to call him a Creighton Bluejay."
McDermott is a three-time, first-team consensus All-American and was the BIG EAST Player of the Year as a senior. He finished his career with 3,150 career points, fifth-most in NCAA history, and had 135 games where he scored in double-figures, an NCAA record. As a Bluejay, he holds the career record for points (3,150), field goals (1,141), three-point percentage (45.8%), and free throws made (594) as well as the single-season record for points (934) and field goals (330).
"Doug completed one of the more memorable four-year runs in NCAA men's basketball history," said Erik Miner, executive director for the Senior CLASS Award. "He brought positive attention to the sport by his skills but also by his ability to be a great role model and solid citizen throughout his time at Creighton."
McDermott is the second Creighton student-athlete to win a Senior CLASS Award, joining men's soccer alum Brian Holt in the fall of 2011.

CANTON The state Department of Taxation and Finance has filed judgments totaling more than $50,000 against a business operated by St. Lawrence County Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, for nonpayment of sales tax in recent years.
The judgments are in addition to previous warrants filed by the Tax Department for nonpayment of sales tax from the early 1990s.
Last summer, the state seized Mr. Pecks business and personal bank accounts on those earlier warrants. At the time, Mr. Peck said interest and penalties ballooned the amount to more than $500,000.
We can confirm that new warrants against Don Peck Auction LLC were filed Aug. 6 with the St. Lawrence County Clerk by the NYS Tax Department, spokesman Cary B. Ziter wrote in an email. Said warrants are for sales tax due the state in the amount of $46,180 for filing periods in 2011 and 2012 and for $4,798 for 2008.
The total includes penalties and interest.
Mr. Peck said he was unaware the state had filed the most recent of the judgments against him.
I did pay sales tax, he said. I filed quarterly returns.
Mr. Peck said he did not have his returns available to see whether the amounts matched those the state said he owes.
He said he received no notice of the amounts that the state claims as owed.
Once theyve got it out for you, theyve got it out for you, he said. I just give up on them.
In June, Mr. Ziter said Mr. Peck, and his business at the time, Pecks Auction Barn, still owed the state $263,212.
Mr. Peck filed for bankruptcy in 1994 after Jefferson National Bank collapsed and his loan of $566,000 was called in by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Sales tax Mr. Pecks business owed was not discharged by the bankruptcy.
Afterward, Mr. Peck formed a separate corporation, Auctions Plus, and now operates his business under Don Peck Auctions.
Mr. Peck, the vice chairman of the board and the boards representative to the county Industrial Development Agency, said he does not plan to resign as a legislator. He also is president of one of the two associations that operate the Gouverneur & St. Lawrence County Fair.
After the first revelations about his finances, some Republican legislators privately suggested to Mr. Peck that he should step down from political office.
Every self-employed businessperson has rough patches. He isnt the only person who hasnt paid sales tax, but were held to a higher standard, said Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon. Its a huge black eye for the 14 of us who sit next to him.
Mr. Pecks differences with the Republican Party grew large enough for him to change his party registration to Democrat, but the switch will not become official until after the general election.
County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire declined comment on Mr. Pecks finances, as did IDA Executive Director Patrick J. Kelly.
Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said Mr. Peck should be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.
Mr. Pecks personal financial problems havent affected his attendance at meetings or his operation of the fair, Mr. Putney said. As of now, he hasnt been found guilty of anything.
Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, said Mr. Peck should resign for the good of the board.
If that were me, Id find a hole to crawl into. I would have already resigned, Mr. Lightfoot said. I feel the public perception of Mr. Peck is going to reflect unfavorably on the rest of the Legislature. We are going to be criticized for granting him the positions he currently enjoys.

Midnight Run
Action/Adventure, Suspense/Thriller, Comedy
Director Martin Brest, of Going in Style and Beverly Hills Cop fame, was in charge of Midnight Run. Robert De Niro stars as Jack Walsh, a hard-bitten bounty hunter offered $100,000 to bring in embezzler Jonathan Mardukas (Charles Grodin). Handcuffed to the wimpy Mardukas, Walsh assumes that the extradition trip from New York to Los Angeles will be an uneventful one. But the prisoner hasn't told Walsh the whole story: the embezzler owes $15 million to a mobster (Dennis Farina), and he's been targeted for assassination. It's a toss-up as to what is the most entertaining aspect of Midnight Run: the slam-bang action and chase sequences or the verbal byplay between DeNiro and Grodin.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Sources: O'Neil Has the League Office in Sight
Tommy Dee
Since word broke yesterday that Scott O'Neil, a man who has risen up the ranks since being first hired by the Nets years ago, would be leaving his post at MSG, I've spoken to several league sources and have come up with some notes of interest.
One league executive, who worked with O'Neil at one point, told me that he would bet that O'Neil's "main goal" would be "to sit next to Adam Silver when David Stern retires."
Remember, it was Stern who recommended O'Neil to MSG following the Isiah Thomas mess.
Speaking of Thomas one source confirmed that O'Neil and owner James Dolan "had some issues" because O'Neil "didn't want Dolan and Isiah to communicate."
O'Neil had a successful run at MSG despite any level of working discomfort with ownership having successfully closed the JP Morgan sponsorship deal as well as overseeing the Garden's 3-year renovation. He also closed a deal with Coke that surrounded Jeremy Lin, who the Knicks let walk to Houston. Stock prices at MSG are at an all-time high.
Business aside, O'Neil garnered the ear of Dolan thanks to his relationships with CAA. This movement was key in solidifying the JP Morgan/Chase deal and also opened up lines of communications during the summer of 2010. The relationship was a key reason Donnie Walsh decided not to return to the post of running the basketball operations, of course in addition to Dolan's insistence on the Melo deal.
The bottom line for the Knicks is that after several years of patience and forward thinking, owner James Dolan has once again come to the forefront and is making imprints on the franchise that can only be looked at as questionable. Knicks fans are hoping that history doesn't repeat itself, but if this off season is any indication both on and off the court, it's not looking good.

NOW Ubiquinol contains the reduced form of CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) which has been shown in some scientific studies to be a highly bioavailable and active antioxidant form of CoQ10. The addition of MCT Oil (medium chain triglycerides) to this product naturally improves its solubility, which further enhances intestinal absorption, and thereby provides superior overall biological value. Coenzyme Q10 is present in almost all cells, where it is necessary for mitochondrial energy production. The body's highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the heart, where constant chemical energy availability is imperative. In addition to its benefits for cardiac function through energy production, CoQ10 also functions as a powerful fat soluble antioxidant, providing protection against free radical attack for vascular structures, as well as for other tissues, including the brain and neurons.

Elevator Safety, 3rd Party Inspections

The Commissioner of Labor and Industry is responsible for ensuring that elevator units operating in Maryland are
tested and inspected. Each owner is responsible for ensuring that each elevator unit has a valid certificate of
inspection issued by the Commissioner demonstrating that it has been inspected. Elevator units are not permitted to
operate without a valid certificate of inspection.
During the 2009 legislative session a new law was passed which will
enhance the safety of Maryland citizens and visitors to Maryland that utilize elevator systems. The new law mandates that
an owner of an elevator unit operating in Maryland contract with an authorized third party elevator inspector to perform
a periodic annual inspection of their elevator unit. This new law took effect July 1, 2009.
Currently State law requires that periodic annual inspections be performed on all elevator units and the
owner of an elevator unit has the option of contracting with an authorized third party inspector or utilizing
State resources to comply with the annual inspection requirement. As of July 1, 2009 State inspectors will
no longer perform periodic annual inspections on privately owned elevator units. The owner must hire an
authorized third party elevator inspector to perform the required periodic annual inspection.
Quick Links:
A third party elevator inspector must be authorized by the Commissioner of Labor and Industry before
he or she can perform inspections in Maryland. To become an authorized inspector approved to conduct a periodic
annual inspection one must possess and maintain an
ASME-QEI certification and general liability insurance and provide this documentation to the Commissioner
annually as required by regulation. The authorized inspector must also be an independent elevator consultant,
employed by an independent inspection agency or employed by the insurer of the elevator unit.
State law also
requires that the owner re-register their elevator units with the Commissioner annually. The annual re-registration
will coincide with the periodic annual inspection. The Safety Inspection Unit will send notice alerting the
owner that the periodic annual inspection and re-registration is due. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure
that the elevator unit is re-registered and the periodic annual inspection is performed. Failure to do so is a
violation of the law and subject to penalty.
A list
of authorized third party Level 1 elevator inspectors
available to perform periodic annual inspections can be

Immigration policy separates family
Reporter: Steve Nuñez
HERMOSILLO, SONORA, MX (KGUN9-TV) - It's a common misconception in the immigration debate that if a foreign national marries a U.S. Citizen that person can immediately come here to live. But that is not always true. As one couple man can tell you, in some cases, immigration law rips apart families.
For Mayra, the last name Holmes became her legal name after she married her husband Mike in Tucson.
But today, the look of sadness in her eyes tells a story of a broken heart and a shattered dream.
"Well it's very difficult for me to be by myself with my daughter," said Mayra.
Mayra went from being a legal visitor from Mexico to one who is no longer allowed into the United States.
"When I was trying to cross the border, they took my Visa," explained Mayra.
Now, Mayra lives in Hermosillo, Sonora along with her daughter Elani. The 5-year old, born a U.S. Citizen, is also separated from her American-born father.
"It's been a very long week for me," said Mike.
At his body shop in Tucson, Mike feels trapped and all alone.
Mike tells 9 On Your Side Reporter Steve Nuñez the emotional toll is also starting to affect his business.
Mike then turns his attention to answer a customer's question, and said, "We're not doing mechanical any more, I'm not kidding. I couldn't afford it."
On this Friday afternoon, Mike has to close shop for the weekend so he can go to Mexico.
9 On Your Side also made the trip to capture this reunion that happens once every two weeks.
We arrived in the Sonoran city just before midnight.
As Mike pulls up to the house where his wife and daughter live, Mayra greets him at the door. The two hug each other tightly for several seconds before walking inside of a small one bedroom townhouse.
Mike walks straight to his daughter's bed to hug and kiss her. Elani stays sound asleep.
Mike and Mayra met at a grocery store in Tucson seven years ago. After Elani came along two years later, they married.
Mike admits Mayra walked a fine line but insists it was within the confines of the law.
That's because Mayra's visitor visa did not limit the number of times she could visit.
ICE, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, as indicated on its website only requires visitors to show ties to Mexico such as home ownership.
Over the next four years, Mayra claims she would stay in Tucson for up to 30 days at a time.
"I was going back and forth like I usually cross," said Mayra.
Mike continued to explain, "She lived in both places. She had a house here in Mexico with her mom and dad."
Immigration law for visitors relies on the honor system. ICE tracks arrivals but not departures.
But Mayra's world came crashing down when she came back with her visa. She claims agents confiscated it because they accused her of living illegally in the United States.
"And they saw that I was married and that I do have a daughter," explained Mayra.
Mike continues her sentence, and said, "The second he found she was married, wait, wait, wait, you're married to a U.S. Citizen, oh, wait you only have a visitors visa."
"And after that they called me inside of the office they even put me in handcuffs," said Mayra.
Nuñez asked: "If you were married why didn't you go through the process of becoming legal?"
"I tried, it was so confusing everybody that I talked to gave me different information," answered
According to documents Mike showed 9 On Your Side, he was indeed in the process of filing paper work so Mayra could get her green card.
That's because Immigration law also clearly states, "every visitor applicant is an intending immigrant."
But Mike admits, because the two were married, he dragged his feet and failed to submit the paper work on time.
"It's probably one of the most difficult processes I've ever seen," said Mike.
On day two of our trip, it became quite obvious by the look in little Elani's eyes, that now, she too, shares the same painful story.
Mike said, "It promotes being illegal because it's so difficult to do it legally, it promotes, frankly it makes me want to say you know what I'm going to sneak her across."
Nuñez asked: "Why not just move to Mexico?"
"And give up what I've worked for for 20 years, the American dream?," answered Mike.
Mike said working with Mexican customs can prove just as difficult. Meanwhile, he remains hopeful his wife will get a new visa within the next year.

NEW BREMEN A fire that ignited when a resident was smoking a cigarette while taking oxygen left the woman hospitalized with burns and her home in ruins Thursday.
The home of Eugene and Enid Cady, 8476 Route 812, was deemed a total loss.
According to a Lewis County Emergency Management news release, oxygen vapors ignited, setting Mrs. Enids clothes on fire.
She was taken to Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville, where a nursing supervisor said she was stable Thursday night.
Her age was not provided, but the news release described her as elderly.
Mr. Cady reported the fire just after 3 p.m.
The couple has no insurance.
While the primary fire department on scene was the New Bremen Fire Department, mutual aid was provided by the Croghan, Beaver Falls and Lowville fire departments.

Buzz: Dubinsky Out Three Weeks (UPDATE)
Update:8:15: Larry Brooks says that Dubinsky will be out up to six weeks because of his injury.
Original Post: Steve Zipay, of Newsday, is reporting that Rangers center Brandon Dubinsky will miss the next three weeks due to a broken hand.
….Bad news, but I could it could have been worse.
While still around the same timetable, Jess Rubenstein of the Prospect Park is saying that Dubinsky is more likely to miss 4 to 6 weeks due to his injury.
…My guess is that its a combination. He starts to skate and practice in about three to four weeks and gets back into games about a week later.

[Our 2013 Beer of the Year is featured here. The exemplary beers below round out our top 10 local beers for the year 2013.]
No. 2: Oblique Black & White Coffee Blonde Stout (Cascade)
Cascade Brewing's Oblique Black and White Coffee Blonde Stout has a logic-defying, tongue-twisting name. It fits the beer well. This brew is blonde in color, with the huge body of a stout and the drinkability of a lager. A blind smell test conjures images of an iced toddy rather than beer, and the taste backs it up: This is the most vivid coffee flavor we've ever tasted in beer. Too many pints, and you'll feel wired and drunk. In short, it's exactly the sort of beer Portlanders should be excited about, the sort that breaks new ground and can spawn a brigade of imitators.
Cascade is primarily known for its sours, but Jon Berry is carving a new niche. Four years ago, Berry gave up a lucrative career as a chemist at Seattle-based biotech firm ZymoGenetics to brew full-time, taking over Cascade's operation at Raccoon Lodge. A year ago, Berry approached Southeast Portland's Oblique Coffee Roasters about collaborating on a coffee beer, as other roasters and brewers have done across the country.
Initially, Cascade's notoriously prickly head brewer, Ron Gansberg, a world-renowned master of sours, wasn't thrilled with the idea. "This was a beer, believe it or not, he didn't want to make," Berry says. "Then I showed him how cool it could be to do coffee beers, and now we're doing a whole series." The blonde stout is the third entry in that series, and the first of its kind: a combination of rich malts, oatmeal ("anything to provide body") and Oblique's dark, heavy Landauer French roast beans. Those beans come through in the beer better than in any of the many coffee stouts we've tried before this blonde.
"How can you call a stout blonde?" you may ask. This is a common question from beer drinkers who come across this startling hybrid.
Berry has a simple answer: "Just to fuck with people." JORDAN GREEN.
No. 3: Piledriver (Hopworks)Outrageous sour beers are all the rage, with some Oregon breweries focusing on them almost exclusively, even developing wild ale programs to better corral wild yeast spores for their bidding.
Portland's Hopworks Urban Brewery has done only one sour. That's a precarious situation in any brewhouse, since introducing any new yeast risks infesting your equipment with rogue micro-organisms for one batch of beer. In the end, though, Piledriver was worth the trouble. It's an instant classic: an amazingly complex beer wrapped in a memorable label that finds brewers standing in for WWF performers from the classic era that ended right about the time its namesake wrestling move was banned.
Piledriver's "base liquid" began as a dark, strong Abbey Ale made for Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers festival in 2009, according to brewmaster Christian Ettinger. Then-head brewer Ben Love, now at Gigantic Brewing, was given carte blanche to experiment with it. Some of the beer filled bourbon barrels. The rest filled cabernet barrels along with 60 pounds of sour cherries. After 18 months, the beer was blended and released through a special dock sale at the brewery.
Piledriver, which marries the sweetness of Belgian candi sugar and malts with sour flavors from Brettanomyces and cherries, was one and done. Sure, HUB makes other Belgian-style beers (in fact, the Abbey Ale currently for sale in wax-dipped bottles is from the same base liquid), but they're nothing like Piledriver.
There won't be anything like it for a while, either. Hopworks has no sours scheduled for production this year.
New brewer Tom Bleigh has his sights set on creating a Flemish red sometime in 2015. It'll be a long, sour wait. BRIAN YAEGER.
No. 4: Sahalie (Ale Apothecary)As the saying goes, you learn the rules in order to properly break them. Paul Arney learned a lot about the best practices of modern brewing during his 16 years at Bend's Deschutes brewpub. And he's set it all aside for the Ale Apothecary, "an art project" set up in the wilds of central Oregon at the end of 2011.
Sahalie, his blondish, barrel-aged mix fermentation ale, was made by inviting one thing most brewers—among other humans—fear. The unknown.
"Chance is actually an ingredient in the beer," Arney says. "The way I set up the barrels and the yeast, I don't know quite what's going to happen."
The resulting beer is difficult to describe, because we've never had anything quite like it. The extremely effervescent Sahalie floats more than sips, with thin layers of honey, lemongrass and grape covering the blond base like phyllo dough. If the funkiness of traditional Belgians is James Brown's Live at the Apollo, Sahalie is Prince's Purple Rain.
At Deschutes, Arney was given whatever he needed and encouraged, above all else, to be creative. Eventually, he confronted that most-feared hobgoblin of modern American life: the overabundance of freedom known as the Paradox of Choice.
"I had an open checkbook and I could pretty much do whatever I wanted," he says. "I could order any raw material I could get my hands on, whether it was a special malt from England or a special variety of hops. And so I just kept thinking, 'How can I do something that's different?'"
Eventually, Arney decided the only way to be different was to set aside modern brewing techniques in favor of the preindustrial.
"The industrial revolution warped us from our brewing path," he says. "It's this thing that's been part of humanity for so long, and we've kind of lost touch with those skills. Were it not for Belgium holding on to some of these, we wouldn't even have them now."
The methods behind Sahalie are, Arney says, "terribly complicated," but the basic technique involves a barrel of Lactobacillus—the tang in sourdough—that is fed a constant stream of wort. Acid is balanced against three sources of sugar until Sahalie is sufficiently confusing.
"What I really get off on, is when you get your nose into something and you can't quite figure it out," Arney says. "You sip it and you enjoy it and you can't name it." MARTIN CIZMAR.
No. 5: Aztec (Breakside)If the concept behind Breakside Brewery's chili-chocolate Aztec seems puzzling, it shouldn't. Hot peppers and cocoa beans have been combined to spectacular effect for generations, blended into restorative drinks by the Mayans and made into the beloved Mexican sauce called "mole."
In Portland, though, the best choco-chili combo you'll find is Breakside's Aztec. Part of the brewery's year-round offerings in various forms since it opened in 2010, Breakside's concoction is technically an American strong ale.
At 10.2 percent alcohol by volume, brewmaster Ben Edmunds wants the beer to stand alone as a digestif because his pub's general manager is dubious of pairing food with it.
Rich, red malts provide a hefty backbone for the combination of serrano and habanero peppers, which make the beer's spiciness more flavorful than hot.
The spice is a side note to the sweetness of the malts, which are complemented by cacao nibs from Portland chocolatier Mana Chocolate. The peppers leave a pleasant warmth on the back of the tongue that quickly fades after swallowing, leaving no lingering burn.
Aztec has a cult following at Breakside's pub in the Woodlawn Triangle. Bottles of a bourbon-barrel version, only periodically available, are highly coveted and quickly sell out when released. Bourbon adds vanilla notes to the chiles and chocolate, and, in the past, Edmonds has also added extra cacao nibs and peppers as the beer ages.
You'll soon be able to age the regular version of Aztec at home, too, since the brewery will begin bottling shortly after this guide goes to press. ADRIENNE SO.
No. 6: Citra Hot Blonde (Barley Brown's)Portland gets Barley Brown's beer only when the Baker City brewery has other business in town. A keg of Citra Hop Blonde that blew us away in September, for example, came with samples to be shipped from Portland to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival.
That was a fruitful trip for Barley Brown's: The tiny brewery in the Eastern Oregon town of 10,000 won four medals at GABF. And one of the kegs it delivered to pay for gas on the way here—all immediately purchased by Apex bar—lands in our top 10 beers of the year.
Now undergoing an expansion that will allow it to make enough beer for distribution, Barley Brown's was originally intended for locals, says brewmaster Tyler Brown. "We just wanted to make kick-ass beer and food for local people," he says, "but we've been drug out of our little cocoon by Portland people."
And, yes: Our favorite from Brown's is a chili beer we'd deem better than any Oregon IPA released last year. Long regarded as gimmicks, pepper beers are coming into their own. Among Oregon breweries, Breakside, Gigantic, Fort George, Widmer, Burnside and Calapooia have all recently had success with the style. But Barley Brown's heater left our mouths watering the longest.
Piles of hot-but-not-blistering jalapeños give the beer—part of a series that also includes a hot brunette and hot red—a warm bite. But Citra hops are the secret sauce.
Citra is the Lady Gaga of the hop world: Released in 2008, it's a hybrid of several familiar styles somehow fresh enough to inspire a craze of its own. With the bite of grapefruit and intensely tropical fruitness, the proprietary variety bred in Washington's Yakima Valley has been a blockbuster hit with consumers and critics alike. Sierra Nevada's unit-moving Torpedo Extra IPA prominently features Citra beer, as does Three Floyds' lauded Zombie Dust.
Something about the heat also works really well with chilies. This beer delivered the same citric, forehead-sweat-inducing satisfaction as a spicy Thai noodle dish. Find out for yourself the next time Barley Brown's has an errand in Portland. MARTIN CIZMAR.
No. 7: Milk Stout (Widmer Bros.)Yes, this is beer with milk in it. Sort of, anyway. Milk stouts are made by adding lactose, the sugar in cow's milk, to a base of dark, chocolaty malts. Brewer's yeast can't ferment milk sugar into alcohol, so it hangs around to give the brew extra heft and a soft, creamy sweetness. Done right, the results can be extraordinary, and Widmer Brothers brewer Matt Licklider did it perfectly last year.
The secret ingredient? The same one found in so many Portland beers before it: Cascade hops, and lots of 'em. "We had a beer called Snow Plow that was a really heavy, sweet milk stout—almost a velvety texture," Licklider says. "While people liked that beer, it was pretty overpowering. So for this one, we wanted it to be more balanced, and a little more hop-forward."
The resulting brew, called, simply, Widmer Milk Stout, is a hybrid of sorts, retaining the creaminess of milk with the noticeable hoppiness of a typical American stout. This smooth, black beverage is 7.6 percent alcohol by volume and has double the hoppiness of the famous version from Colorado's Left Hand Brewing. "The question was, 'What's Widmer going to do that makes it really special?,'" Licklider says. "And I think we did that. Pour it in a glass, and you'll see it's not like other milk stouts."
Don't pour it too quickly. Widmer hasn't scheduled the milk stout for production in 2013, so, for now, the 2012 vintage is one of a kind. Toss a few in your cellar—unlike the milk in your fridge, it won't spoil anytime soon. MARTIN CIZMAR.
No. 8: Loki Red Ale (Fearless)It's not often a brewer will proclaim something to be the best he's ever made.
Yet Fearless Brewing's Ken Johnson says exactly that about his Loki Red Ale. And we can't disagree. The humble mom-and-pop operation in Estacada has really outdone itself with this brew, one of the best-ever takes on the rightly maligned Irish style, far too often boring and syrupy sweet. The mighty Loki is nutty, rich and a little bitter—without betraying that famous red drinkability.
It took a lot of work to get Loki right, according to Johnson. But when he nailed it, he didn't even wait for proper packaging: The batch that blew us away came in aluminum originally intended for the brewery's flagship Scottish Ale. Rather than manufacture new cans, Fearless merely stuck a fire engine-bright "Loki Red" sticker over the normal label.
The recipe for Loki, named for the Norse trickster god, has been an ongoing three-year experiment. The brew started as a brown ale brewed to mix things up between bigger batches of Fearless standbys like Mjolnir IPA. Test kegs were offered at the Estacada brewery to patrons, who shared their thoughts with Johnson. The version finally canned uses highly acidic and resinous Tomahawk and Galena hops with sweet English brown malts. It's perfect—stickers aside. MICHAEL LOPEZ.
No. 9: 25 (Oakshire)To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Oregon Brewers Festival last year, Oakshire Brewing concocted something unique. The Eugene brewery's 25 was made with 25 ingredients in a what it dubbed an "Imperial Oregon Ale."
It was a cute gimmick: Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk wanted to "celebrate as much of the Oregon bounty" as he could, so many of the ingredients were grown within our state's borders. That included some of the barley and three hop varieties, along with filberts, cranberries and lemon verbena.
But, impressively, it managed to be much more. After all, gimmick beers are often sent home after a festival only to linger for months at their home pub. Oakshire, on the other hand, actually wanted people to drink this stuff. "The real challenge was to make a very complex beer that people would buzz about while keeping it perfectly drinkable…in hopes that revelers would be interested in going back," Van Wyk says.
It worked on us. To incorporate so many ambitious ingredients while creating a brew that's interestingly complex yet simply refreshing takes a deft hand. The light golden color and various lemony notes belie its respectable 7 percent alcohol by volume, and the gentle fruit and herbal aromas and flavors make it a standout at a festival of standouts.
It's so good, in fact, that Oakshire plans to do it again—look for 26 on the western banks of the Willamette, the last full weekend in July. BRIAN YAEGER.
No. 10: Devil's Kriek (Double Mountain)When the Belgians make their traditional kriek cherry sour beers, they tend to use sour Morello cherries that tart up the beer like an old swimsuit model. They typically drop their cherries into a base of Flemish Red, and let their barnyard-y Brettanomyces yeast do its work until the cherries' sugar is completely spent and only the puckery flavor remains. But while Double Mountain Brewery still uses about 10 percent Morello cherries in its superb Devil's Kriek sour, brewer Matt Swihart has a not-so-secret weapon, culled from his own orchards: The 80-decibel umami and sweetness of Oregon's native Bing cherries.
"The Hood River Valley is a fruit area," says Swihart, "so it could be like the Lambic region in Belgium."
The brewery's first kriek batch in 2007 was a bit timid about the cherry and sour notes, says Swihart, but now he lets the cherries stay on the trees for 10 extra days so they create more sugars for the yeast to feed on. He ferments the Brettanomyces for 11 months. He also keeps adding more and more fruit each year.
The result? A ruby-red, pink-frothed kriek that leads with a rich, fruity, front-and-center blossom of cherry in the mouth. The beer's fruitiness lingers sweetly even as the kriek's tart notes and hints of hay assert themselves as an aftershock to the initial cherry bomb. Double Mountain also makes a fine Rainier Kriek—with the namesake cherries and a blonde base—but the mild-mannered complexity of the 2012 Devil's Kriek made it especially welcome during its summer run, if also deceptively alcoholic at 9 percent ABV. Devilish indeed. MATTHEW KORFHAGE.

Read: How Rick Nash Works Out and Tries To Get Better
In a video for the NHLPA and AllState Canada, Rick Nash was asked about his training routine and what he does in the off season to get better.
Nash said that when he hits the gym he does a lot of Olympic lifting, hand cleans, front squats and jerks. He said that it's important to keep that explosiveness and that these exercises really relate to the on ice skating. He added "I always try to get faster and stronger without losing your skill."
Nash says that he does a lot of track work outs, sprints and endurance work outs, "when you get to this level and you play a lot of minutes or back to back games you need to make sure you are in great shape.
The biggest thing, according to Nash is always trying to get better "because you know that everyone else is."
Over the summer Chris Kreider was dead lifting 530lbs and doing single leg squats"

The Maine Senate today joined the House in passing a bill that would prohibit teens 18 and younger from indoor tanning facilities. As Patty Wight reports, central to the debate was whether protecting teens makes good public policy or represents government overreach.
The sponsor of the bill, Democrat Geoff Gratwick of Penobscot, told lawmakers they had a powerful opportunity to prevent death. As a physician, he says the health consequences of using tanning beds are something he's familiar with.
"If you have a choice of cancers you want to get, I recommend you not get pancreatic cancer, and malignant melanoma," Gratwick said.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and Gratwick says it's usually caused by UV sunlight and tanning beds.
Democrat Margaret Craven took to the Senate floor to lay out other statistics: Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. The International Agency for Research on Cancer lists tanning beds as one of the most dangerous forms of cancer-causing radiation. The agency also says using a tanning bed before age 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma by 75 percent.
Given that 16 percent of Maine high school students report using indoor tanning devices, Craven says their use is a public health issue.
"Cancer and illnesses impact all of us. Whether you have private insurance, whether you have MaineCare, we all pay a price in the end," she said.
While science spells out the risks of skin cancer, the bill - called "An Act to Reduce Youth Cancer Risk," brought out a more philosophical debate among senators. Just who should have the authority, asked Republican Roger Katz, to dictate what children can or can't do? He suggested a different name for the bill.
"It should be the 'Parents Who Are Not Capable of Raising Their Children Act of 2013,'" he said.
Katz says according to this bill, it doesn't take a village to raise children. It takes the government. He calls the bill another step down the slippery slope of ceding parental authority.
"I don't look at this as a slippery slope, I look at this as an evolution," said Democratic Sen. Anne Haskell, of Cumberland County. "I think that we ought to carefully and sparingly apply this very important restriction, as we did on cigarettes, and as we did on wine coolers."
Other lawmakers pointed out Maine laws that require seat belts and bicycle helmets, and restrictions imposed last year on teens earning their drivers' licenses.
Maine isn't the only state having this debate. A number of other states are considering similar legislation, and three have already enacted laws - California, Vermont, and as of Monday, New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie signed a bill banning those under age 18 from using commercial tanning beds.
In the Maine Senate, it took 40 minutes of debate, then lawmakers cast their votes. Thirty seconds later, the results were in. Nineteen for the bill, 16 against. "The motion to enact LD 272 prevails," the clerk announced.
The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. Paul LePage for his signature. Supporters hope it will ultimately take a chunk out of the approximately 400 Mainers who are diagnosed with melanoma each year.

In 2012, the US National Research Council released a report calling for a National Photonics Initiative (NPI) -- a partnership between government, academia and industry to focus attention and funding on photonics research and development.
Heeding the call, OSA and four society partners brought together more than 100 experts to assemble recommendations to help guide US funding and investment in five key photonics-driven fields. New opportunities in these fields offer the potential for great societal impact in the next few decades. The coalition of societies includes NPI founding sponsors OSA and SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and sponsors the American Physical Society, the IEEE Photonics Society, and the Laser Institute of America.
Watch the May 23, 2013 National Photonics Initiative Roll-Out Webinar.
Get involved in the NPI's outreach efforts.
Photonics-based technologies have the potential to reshape our energy future into one that is cleaner, more efficient, and more secure. The renewable energy sector may soon bring significant job growth, lower energy consumption, reduced reliance on oil, and a revitalized economy. Industry experts predict that photovoltaic (PV) generated power could grow to a $500 billion global market over the next 20 years and that solid-state lighting could cut US lighting electricity usage in half by the year 2030.
Health & Medicine
From laser eye surgery to MRIs, photonics is responsible for medical advances that save and dramatically improve millions of lives. Photonics plays a key role in next-generation health care with the global biophotonics market expected to reach $99 billion by 2018.
Information technology & Communications
Photonics is the key enabling technology behind the $4.7 trillion global IT/Telecom industry, accounting for approximately six percent of the total world GDP. Currently, no existing technology solution can provide for the expected 100-fold increase in bandwidth demand expected over the next 10 to 20 years.
The use of photonics technologies in advanced manufacturing has improved key factors of products such as size, weight, performance, and cost. The most versatile machine tool of the 21st century, lasers are used by industry to cut sheet metal, repair memory circuits, fabricate LEDs, and produce customizable arterial stents for life-saving by-pass surgery.
Defense & National Security
Photonic integration enables increased performance, manufacturability, stability, and cost savings throughout the defense and security infrastructure, including communications, intelligence, navigation, electronic warfare, and sensing systems.

Great Manual Security Device

Purchased this security device for my son's car which was stolen once few months back. Instead of spending a great amount of money on a electronic security system, we decided on this security device, we felt that it added a bit more of security than others of its class or without one at all!The device is easy to operate. My son is delighted to have it and uses it every time before leaving the car!

Natural resources companies face constant pressure to increase value in a highly dynamic and competitive business environment.
BearingPoint provides all necessary skills, knowledge and experience to help companies confront the complex tasks they are facing and develop sustainable business results.
We have two hundred natural resources specialists with a deep knowledge of the opportunities and special circumstances of both developed and emerging markets.
We have developed specific solutions for the natural resources industry and successfully implemented essential projects thanks to our long-lasting relationships with leading oil, gas, metals and mining companies worldwide. Our experts combine consulting and technology capabilities. We deliver customized end-to-end solutions to our clients that link their individual business strategies to operational reality across the oil, gas, metals and mining value chains.
We also have strategic alliance partnerships with world-class technology providers (SAP, Oracle) and our leading position in this industry is well recognized.
What all companies in the hydrocarbon value chain have in common is that their fortunes often rise and fall as a direct result of forces that are beyond their control. With so much volatility related to the price of crude oil, manufacturing excellence alone is no longer enough to ensure financial success for companies where commodities are traded like in the hydrocarbon value chain. Long term commitments become more and more costly to hedge in the absence of liquidity.
How effective and efficient is your HSE (health, safety and environment) management system? How much time and effort is required to prepare and consolidate company data and prepare HSE reports?
How can you effectively manage a large scale investment programme for your upstream and downstream projects, your retail oil products sales, other operational projects and your Information Technology Projects?
Global metals and mining manufacturers recognise that force-fitting monolithic applications into manufacturing operations is costly, risky and ultimately creates systems that hinder agility. Ultimately this defeating the original purpose of the installation. The metals and mining industry is still learning to manage the 'IT space' between ERP and metals and mining Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Companies find that the integration platforms (MII, Webmethods, etc.) allow specialist systems to close gaps in operations. The general accepted practice for production management is to move away from an ERP-centric design to a more integration-centric design for Production Systems Landscapes.
On a daily basis oil & gas companies receive hundreds of customer requests for oil products from retail networks, bunkers, wholesales and others. They must be processed (registered in ERP, select refinery, schedule delivery/transport) and orders must be sent to refineries. The current paper-based process is time consuming and is open to potential human error. It results in ineffective refinery loading and in the inability to receive online information about actual deliveries.
One of the latest clear trends is interdependencies between enterprise competitive advantage and the effectiveness of supply system management. Business process optimisation and cumulative cost reduction related to supply of materials and services are one of the main methods of increasing profitability. Lack of supply effectiveness creates risks such as gratuitous costs that are related to insufficient control of the supply process, non-transparent sourcing, overstocking and storage over-costing.
