March 5th 2015 marked 5 years since the Finance Department Commissiob of Inquiry Report was tabled in Parliament. Up until now, this report has not been implemented. The report shows 58 pubic servants, lawyers and bureaucrats were implicated and yet nothing has been done to arrest them or recover the stolen K780 million. These thieves are freely living high both in PNG and abroad on the expanse of tax payers hard earned money.

Papua New Guinea seen to be one of the most corrupt nations in the world has an endless talk-battle on riding corruption from its Pacific shores yet, is very, very slow in making this a priority. One would even think that many of these tactics are a strategy to slow the process and cover the tracks of those convicted.
With all the hype happening around SABL, are we sure land owners are driven to timber processing projects? Could this be another SABL scheme on SABL debated land? It is important we know what we are inexpensively signing before everyone pays the hefty price of recouping one mans mistake.

I discovered this board only a week ago. I have read some of the posts here and think they are much more informative and positive than some of the Yahoo message boards that I have been. While I like reading other people's posts, I also want to share any information that might be useful. It's in everyone's (well, most shareholders's) best interest to help raise the company's profile and thus share price.
A lot of information on message boards can be inaccurate or even misleading. There's nothing wrong to dsipute any posts. I myself don't just believe any numbers or "facts" that are posted on any message board. We all need to do our own research and filter the information.
To me, the most important benefit of participating a message board is to get a better idea about the sentiment of the market, especially that of people who hold the same or similar stocks as I do. The information shared here can also be a starting point to look further or from a different perspective. (For example, I learned about APE when tracking CDE and PZG.) I have found a lot of posts here very useful, saving me a lot of time. They have helped me know APE better and faster.

EL PASO, Texas - A downtown used-car lot owner here, who allegedly structured nearly $500,000 in cash deposits at local financial institutions, remains in federal custody today after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents arrested him this week.
The Internal Revenue Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the El Paso County Tax Assessor's Office of Enforcement assisted ICE in its investigation.
Magdaleno de la Cruz, 55, owner of Ruby's Auto Sales on 1301 E. Paisano, is named in a 51-count indictment charging him with illegally structuring, or "smurfing," bank deposits totaling nearly $500,000 to avoid filing the required currency transaction reports. De la Cruz has owned Ruby's Auto Sales since 2003.
According to court documents, de la Cruz made multiple cash deposits at several local credit union locations between February 2006 and March 20, 2008 to accounts under his name.
By law, individuals are required to complete a currency transaction report, and submit it to the financial institution when they make cash deposits of $10,000 or more. Financial institutions are required to verify and record the name and address of the person making the transaction, as well as the identity, account number and social security or taxpayer identification number. Financial institutions also must report cash deposits of $10,000 or more to the government.
It is a federal crime to knowingly structure transactions with financial institutions, or attempt to conduct one or more cash transactions in any amount at one or more financial institution in one or more days, for the purpose of evading currency transaction report requirements.
As part of its investigation, ICE special agents also seized 68 vehicles from Ruby's Auto Sales, and more than $60,000 from De la Cruz' bank account. In addition, the indictment seeks a monetary judgment against the defendant in the amount of $498,423.
Last month, a federal judge sentenced Jose Martinez, 44, owner of Martinez Autos on 5630 Alameda Ave., to more than two years in federal prison for illegally structuring bank cash deposits totaling more than $740,000 to avoid reporting them to the government.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandy Gardes, Western District of Texas, is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct, not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until convicted through due process of law.

Buy me a cup of coffee
A ridiculous amount of coffee was consumed in the process of building this project. Add some fuel if you'd like to keep me going!
In a moment, I'll tell you the single most shocking reason why you need help to get world of warcraft gold.
You'll learn why World of Warcraft gold guides are selling so fast, and why however hard you work, you can't break the 100,000g barrier.
Despite farming, grinding, heroics, daily quests, obsidium shuffles until your disenchant macro broke.
I want you to do me a favor. Go into your World of Warcraft main character and open your achievements panel (Shortcut: Y). From the tab for 'statistics' at the bottom, choose 'character > wealth'. Look at how much gold your character has earned.
Are you surprised?
There it is, the shocking reason why you need help to get world of warcraft gold.
You have already earned and made more WoW gold than you could possibly spend, and yet, you have done just that: spent it! It's gone.
Listen, there is no point buying world of warcraft gold guides, gold strategy plans, or reading warcraft tycoon's blogs. There's no point buying low, selling high, and no point in researching and flipping rare epic weapons and valuable limited supply patterns if you are going to waste the lot!
If you can't control your spending, then you might as well stop reading my blog. In fact, here's a link to the Disney princess store so you can channel your spending addiction to something more worthwhile.
I'm talking from experience here. I used to go to the auction house every few levels with my characters, and kit them out with the latest gear, gems, enchants, and they would stand outside in the dull Ironforge sunshine, twinkling and dripping with epics. And I didn't have a copper to my name. Then I'd repeat the same mistake with each and every one of my alts, regardless of whether I would even play them again.
I even have a level 40 with a travellers tundra mammoth that I haven't logged on in over a year. What a waste.
Go get yourself number 8 from my list of Essential Addons. That addon is called pen and paper. This week, note down exactly what you're spending every day, and why. Figure out a way to control your spending addiction. Perhaps put some aside every day, or move all your gold to one piggy bank character that can hold it for you and make it more difficult for you to access and spend on crap you don't need. Before you invest in that "one time amazing deal" of a thousand stacks of silk cloth at half price, step back and think. Deep inside, you know that they're just going to sit in your bank, and you're wasting your gold and your time. Stop Spending!
Please leave me a comment: What do you waste the most gold on? What are you going to do over the next week to control your spending? And come back to me next week and tell me whether you succeeded.
Part one of the Ultimate Warcraft Secrets series.
Mcmokka have you ever done something like put a super-enchant on level 1 gear and used it for fast leveling? I suppose it doesn't make much difference now that there is all this heirloom stuff in game.
Back when it was trendy to have a level 19 twink, I decided to make a level 1 twink and hung about in Goldshire trying to get people to duel me. I wasn't very good at it though, much better at "AH pvp" than duelling!
Vince, I like you being contrary! Being contrary, examining the other side of the argument, helps sort out exactly which bits are gonna work and which aren't.
And here, I'm gonna agree with you – I love buying things. If only I could make this much gold in real life, I think I would spend it all immediately on an enormous shoe closet!
What I was trying to get across is the really simple idea that you can either spend your gold, or save it, you can't do both. (sadly)
I wanted to make readers STOP and THINK about which choice they were going to make. Spend, or save.
I'd hate to think that anyone reading this blog would dutifully copy any of my ideas, cut n paste my strategies. Definitely take my techniques and see how you can apply them to your own server, your own gold-making goals.
heh, glad to be of service Alto heh heh
It's always the simple things that get you. I have had quite a few discusions with my guildies about a similar topic; they keep defending buying rares for their alts (reasonable rares, not the most expensive ones), as leveling becomes a lot faster. This got me thinking: If you consider leveling alts a timesink (which it is), where you could earn money instead, then it affects your GPH. If spending 1000 gold on decking out a char saves 3 hours of playing time, it's worth it, right?
It's an interesting thought. I never did this, since I like to play a char at lvl to get at least some practice for later dungeons at max level and such, but I can definetly see the point.
@ Vince: No matter how insanely decked out your character is at the moment, there will be a time where it's not close to enough. In itself, your gearscore or number of epics has zero gold value. Gear is the most inflated good of all in the game. I believe it goes like this: Gear < gold < Raw mats. No-one will ever pay much for a sweet epic from an old expansion.
Therefore every time there's a major patch we stock up on mats and sell our outdated BoE epics. Having extra gold makes you able to move with the flow, to invest in new mats (thus hopefully making money) or simply spending it on new and superior gear.
Not to be wholly contrary, but spending is only an issue if you're trying to stockpile gold. Having everything you'd every want or need in WoW, but barely having 5k in liquid isn't a problem at all! Buying guides / reading blogs is very VERY vital if you're going to spend your gold, because you can't spend it if you don't have it!
That said, this is an excellent point if you don't have *enough* gold, or if you can't seem to reach a certain gold goal (e.g. 50k, 100k, etc.). I know from personal experience how hard it can be to reach a certain milestone (200k for me) when you keep spending it. I was yo-yoing around 100k for the longest time, but only because I kept buying epic for my specs. I only had around 100k liquid, but well over 200k in gear. Is this a bad thing? Depends on who you ask. My knowledge of making gold, obtained in large part from gold bolgs, allowed me to support my "epic addiction" without reducing me to begging for scraps. So I don't think spending is a problem if you can support your sprees, and if you don't mind your stockpile staying somewhat stationary.
If you can't support your spending habits, and you're finding that despite dutifully following gold blogs' advice you can barely stay afloat, then yes, taking a look at your spending habits is wise advice. Same with if you can't seem to break a barrier in your stockpile. But I disagree that spending your hard earned gold is a bad thing, and that you shouldn't bother with blogs and guides if you're going to use gold for the one thing it's actually good for!
That said, I'm totally planning on getting the Tundra Mount or a Mechano-Hog for my spriest when it's 40. Won't set me back anything I can't recoup in a few days, and it'll look sweet
My minnie mouse sunglasses were 35% off! I was so happy I bought two! Thanks for linking, I am not sure what I would have done this summer without them!
Thanks again for the reminder~!

(BPT) - Many recent engineering graduates are reaping the benefits of a flourishing job market for specializations within the growing field. Engineering occupations are expected to grow by more than 10 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The nation's aging infrastructure is, in part, spurring the growth as engineers will design and implement new pollution-control systems, water systems, and roads.
Growth in engineering fields is outpacing the expected growth rate for any other occupation, and certain types of engineers will be in greater demand than others. Employment of biomedical engineers is expected to grow 62 percent from 2010 to 2020, the BLS predicts. Biomedical engineers create solutions that help hospitals, universities and research facilities improve the quality of patient care. With changing healthcare regulations and the aging population in the United States needing more medical care, the demand will continue to grow.
The manufacturing sector also seeks candidates with engineering backgrounds. During the past three years, U.S. manufacturing added more than 530,000 jobs. However, some employers report that candidates lack the technical skills required.
The solution lies in more science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, according to a recent Joint Economic Committee study. STEM jobs are projected to grow 7 percent faster than non-STEM occupations through 2018, according to a 2011 report from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
"For students to compete in the global workforce, they must command technical skills and knowledge to succeed in rapidly changing industries," says Dr. Ahmed Naumaan, dean of the College of Engineering and Information Sciences at DeVry University. "It is imperative that educators prepare graduates for these in-demand jobs."
DeVry University follows this advice by offering degree programs that help prepare students for job opportunities ranging from electronics engineering to biomedical and computer engineering.
Global issues also require unique specializations. Environmental and computer engineers are needed to handle complex issues such as climate change and energy exploration. With this demand, computer engineers can command starting salaries of more than $70,000.The average salary for recent engineering graduates is more than $62,000, with job growth across several industries, including technology, healthcare, education and manufacturing, according to a new report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

EAST RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) -- An East Ridge family hoping to keep their pet pigmy goat plans to present a petition to the City Council.
Oreo is mostly white with black splotches around his ears and weighs about 40 pounds.
Livestock is not allowed within the city limits and the council on Oct. 11 voted down a proposed exception for pigmy goats and potbelly pigs.
Owner Jeffery Viar told the Chattanooga Times Free Press the family isn't giving up.
The 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son went house-to-house in their neighborhood collecting about 70 signatures on a petition asking to let Oreo stay. They will present it to the council Thursday night.
The family lives less than a half-mile from Georgia, and Viar said they could relocate to keep Oreo.

Legion Avenue needs a make over
Published: Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 21, 2007 at 11:04 p.m.
Recently, walking past the Terrebonne Parish wild rodent and mosquito refuge located on Legion Avenue (the old swimming pool site), I noticed a large, brown rat, and this was not a nutria. This area is overgrown, and stagnant water is in the pools. No one will accept responsibility for its existence. God forbid a child or one of the wayward adults who occupy the park from time to time is found floating in this mess.
As we approach the lying season better known as election time, those running for office in this district should make this a campaign issue. The Courier could revisit with a few good photos. Some solutions for its use if it is ever cleaned up are: (1.) A skateboard park. Use the old pools or fill them in making a hill. (2.) Clear the whole mess and give the land to the Legion School to build a much-needed addition. Please do not make the area into a video-poker casino.
The Williams Avenue Raceway is doing very well as cars can and often do reach very high speeds from either Legion Avenue to Sixth Street or vice-versa. The 15 mph is very slow, and 25 mph would be reasonable outside of the school zone. But as the ball games end, it has been amazing, day or night, that the speeding vehicles filled with kids go flying past pedestrians walking down the street. The memorial on the side of the road with the names of the deceased is really not going to make the future loss any less painful. Please slow down.

Today's guest blog is from Dr. Margaret Cochran, a psychotherapist in private practice in San Jose CA. Dr. Margaret Cochran is the host of 'Wisdom, Love and Magic,' a weekly broadcast available at webtalkradio.net that has the distinction of being the number one mental health podcast on iTunes. I had a most delightful interview on her radio show several weeks ago: I urge you to give it a listen. Her website is www.drcochran.com.
Let's be honest: living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is not fun in equal, but different ways, for either the person with BPD or those who love, live with, or otherwise come into contact with him or her.
If you're an adult, you have some choice about how much contact you have with a high functioning, "invisible" borderline, the type most prone to acting abusively and not respecting your limits. But young children don't have that luxury. To them, a high conflict parent is a fearsome god whose inconsistencies make the world a scary place.
When they grow up, scars inflicted on these children from an unstable emotional environment linger. It can be tremendously difficult for adult children of high conflict parents to trust and have normal relationships. But as you will see later in the article, there is hope.
Children with BPD parents are not often discussed in therapeutic circles. In fact, they are often marginalized and forgotten about in the face of the overwhelming clinical demands of those with BPD.
Adult children with high conflict borderline parents fall into two categories, those who also have BPD and those who don't. Now, I know some professionals you talk to will insist that an individual can't have a personality disorder as a child because they don't have a personality before they are 18.
Well I'm here to say "it ain't so", and recent revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) contain guidelines on the matter. In fact the famous McLean Hospital even has a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy unit for borderline adolescents.
More and more the data with regard to BPD is lining up on the nature vs. nurture side of the debate. And, by the way, nature is also winning with things like narcissistic personality disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia among others. They are all "heritable," meaning they can be passed on genetically.
So what does that mean exactly? Well, it means you can have a BPD parent raising either a BPD child, a non-disordered child, or, in the case of a multiple sibling family, both. Certainly the effects of these various interfaces will end up looking different.
But the bottom line is the same: a mother or father's mental illness may have a profound effect on their child's development, including an increased risk of the child developing the same disorder. And this tragedy is being overlooked.
For example, a recent study done by Hobson et.al. shows that maternal borderline personality disorder is associated with dysregulated mother-infant communication. And this study, among others, provides some of the first empirical evidence for a link between mother's BPD symptoms and youth psychosocial outcomes. A BPD diagnosis is still often most associated with women, and, unfortunately, there are no studies about fathers of which I am aware.
So what's the answer? As usual, in cases like these what needs to be done is pretty straightforward, and what can or will be done is another matter entirely. Bottom line; the needs are the same for BPD children as for non-disordered children. They both require the following:
1. Patience
2. Emotional consistency
3. Calm, even handed behavioral correction techniques
4. Age appropriate boundaries, limits and expectations
5. Age appropriate verbal and physical support
6. Age appropriate nurturing
7. Age appropriate intellectual stimulation and play
8. And more patience, patience, patience.
Looking at this list and thinking about the characteristics of BPD adults one can clearly see some potential problems.
When a BPD parent is caring for children, what you have is essentially have a child raising a child. In fact, other than the play and intellectual stimulation pieces, a BPD parent is going to have a difficult time with the above list.
For many folks with BPD who know about their disorder and are willing to work on their skills in therapy, much progress can be made. This is where psychotherapy, parenting classes and the support of their non-disordered parenting partner comes in (for the purposes of this discussion we are not going to tackle the topic of two personality disordered parents).
Unfortunately, however, there are still some therapists who insist it is a bad idea to tell someone with BPD that they have it. This needs to change so that those with BPD and their families can take advantage of the tremendous amount of psychological information currently available.
When things start to overheat emotionally, the high conflict borderline parent needs to step away and give him or herself time to regroup. It is important that this be framed for the BPD adult as a form of self nurturing and that they understand that the child is not winning the 'argument du jour'.
Now, every parent can benefit from 'time out.' But the borderline parent will need more thoughtful, supportive and stepwise training in how to implement it and make it work because of their "emotional deregulation," meaning that they become angry more easily and have a hard time soothing themselves. Not only are their emotions more intense, they are slower to dissipate.
Those with a more severe form of the disorder may not respond to parenting guidance. In these cases, there needs to be more stringent outside intervention from Child Protective Services and/or court ordered supervision during visitation that will keep both parent and child emotionally and physically safe.
Parenting is a daunting task at the best of times for the wisest and most stable among us, and it presents special challenges to an individual with BPD. With parenting education, encouragement and support in setting reasonable boundaries, and help and direction in learning about adult 'time out' as a self nurturing and self soothing process, the BPD parenting experience can be a much more positive and constructive one for all concerned.

Bremerton's Adrian Helps U.S. Team Set Relay World Record in England
MANCHESTER, England
Bremerton native Nathan Adrian, along with swimming star Michael Phelps, helped the U.S. men's team set a short-course world record in the 400-meter medley relay.
The American men's team clocked 3 minutes, 20.71 seconds to beat a European all-star team at the Duel in the Pool meet Friday. Phelps and Adrian were joined by Nick Thoman and Mark Gangloff in breaking the old mark of 3:23.33 seconds set by Canada in August.
Jessica Hardy, Margaret Hoelzer, Dana Volmer and Amanda Weir also set a new women's mark of 3:47.97 in the 400-meter medley relay on Friday in Manchester. They broke the mark of 3:49.45 set by Canada this fall.
Also Friday, American Julia Smit broke the short-course world record in the 400 individual medley. Smit clocked 4:21.04 to break the mark of 4:22.88 set by Kathryn Meaklim of South Africa last month.

Phoenix Suns
Seniors spotlighted in first week of Phoenix Suns' pre-draft workouts
PHOENIX — They are the questions that all NBA teams face this time of year.
Go all in or play it safe?
Bet on potential or a known commodity?
In other words, how big of a risk is a team willing to take in the June 26 NBA Draft?
"That's always the challenge for guys in our position is what do you do," GM Ryan McDonough said. "Do you take the guy with some upside who might have a higher ceiling but it might take longer to get there, if he ever gets there, or do you take a more ready-made player? Usually the guys who come in and have an impact, especially on good teams are guys who just finished their junior, senior year and you can slot them in and they can play right away, physically they're ready to play.
"We look at all of them."
The Suns looked at a group of players who fit into that latter category on Friday, working out six seniors, all from major Division-I colleges and all projected to be second-round prospects: Davidson forward De'Mon Brooks, Duke guard Andre Hawkins, Pittsburgh forward Lamar Patterson, Stanford forward Dwight Powell, Louisville guard Russ Smith and New Mexico guard Kendall Williams.
Smith's resume includes helping lead Louisville to the 2013 NCAA Championship, but at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds, his size may deter teams.
"His role, at least early on his career, probably will be a scorer coming off the bench, a guy you bring into the game and gives you a boost as a spark plug," McDonough said. "If you can do that, then I think the size becomes less important as long as he proves that he can score and also run a team. There's value in a guy who can be able to do both. He'll at least need to be able to guard point guards and I think with his quickness and toughness he'll be able to do that."
Smith averaged more than 18 points a game in both his junior and senior seasons, while his quickness and anticipation placed him among the nation's leaders in steals in each of his final three years.
"I honestly don't know," he said when asked what he needs to show teams to improve his draft stock, "because I've been shooting the ball tremendous and I've been getting by my man throughout my whole career at Louisville. And just his past season, I've shown that I can put on a passing clinic and just at the L.A. Clipper workout, I had a passing clinic. I can jump. I can defend. So, honestly I really don't know what I have to do. Maybe my off-the-court charisma, being a good person, a good teammate, maybe that's some stuff they want to see and I can definitely supply that."
Size is not a factor with Powell. At 6-foot-11, his future is expected to be the paint, though his versatility and ability to shoot from the outside make him an intriguing option for teams.
"It's always a work in progress," he said of his shooting range. "Hopefully, I'll be able to push it out to the NBA 3 in the near future. Right now I feel comfortable out to the college 3, out to the Euro 3 and a little beyond that."
Powell believes being seniors gives this workout group an advantage over others.
"Experience. We've had four years of college coaching, which can help a lot. We've been in a lot of different situations," he said before heading to Minnesota for a workout. "My personal opinion is if you can play,
you can play. I think we're all out here trying to prove ourselves. There's obviously some guys who kind of have set themselves up to be kind of locks for those early spots, but other than that everybody is trying to compete."
Through the first four days of Suns pre-draft workouts, 19 of the 24 players have been seniors.
"The guys that have been in college for three, four years, they got a little bit better understanding when we're going through drills, what to look for," said head coach Jeff Hornacek, himself a four-year player at Iowa State. "That's why the NBA is tough now where you're doing a lot of the teaching because there's a lot of these younger guys that you have to show them that stuff first where you get these older guys that have done it in college it's a lot easier. You can really fine-tune things with those guys because they already know the basics."

Church of Santa María
Church of Santa Maria de Agramunt
Plaça de Santa Maria, s/n
25310 Agramunt, Lleida (Catalonia)
Tfn::+34 973391089
This is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in the western regions of Catalonia. It is particularly notable for the exquisite carved decoration on the doorway on the main façade.
It belongs to what is known as the Lleida school. This church has a basilica floor plan and three naves under barrel vaults and a triple semicircular apse with blocked-in Lombard arcades. The upper stories of the tower-bell tower (Gothic, 14th century), chapels and sacristy (16-17th centuries) were added at a later date. The most interesting feature is to be found on the main doorway (mid 13th century), which has ten splayed semicircular archivolts, and on the capitals of the columns on which they stand. The carvings on the interior archivolt are presided by a high-relief of the Virgin holding the Child, flanked by scenes of the Nativity. There are a wide variety of carved motifs on the archivolts and capitals (also in the interior): tracery, geometric designs, fantastic monsters, female and animal figures, etc.

Hoisted Up 1
Here is another attempt to get "Hoisted Up 1" on XTube. At supports suggestion we have changed the file type for the upload. The quality of the video may be slightly degraded, but we tried not to sacrifice picture quality. This video shows me being hoisted up by my balls and then beaten by my master. The video is about 7 minutes long but the whole session actually took over 10 minutes. Yes, I was suspended by my balls for about 10 minutes!

This was discussed in the Road Cycling forum but I wanted to get some sense as to the interest in participating in fantasy cycling. I'm willing to run the thing. Here's the format:
Everyone picks 10 riders who they'll have throughout the year.
Before the racing season begins I'll choose 10 races. These will be one day races only.
Before every race you choose 5 riders.
Points are accumulated by where your riders finished. For example, if your 5 riders finished 1,2,3,4, 5 you'd have 15 points. The person with the least points wins the weekend. I've yet to figure out what to do with riders who don't finish.
Anyway, if enough people are interested, we'll do it. If not, oh well.

The Aquino Legacy Is Peaceful Regime Change
Backed by the U.S., she helped inspire other democratic revolutions around the world.
Corazon Aquino, who died of cancer Saturday at the age of 76, will be remembered as the surprisingly tough "housewife" who forced a dictator, Ferdinand Marcos, to leave office after his attempt to steal an election. But she also deserves to be remembered as the leader of the first "People Power" revolution. Her success strengthened U.S. confidence in what was then a new policy of promoting peaceful democratic change, a policy that remains relevant today.
Marcos ruled the Philippines for 21 years, nine of them under martial law. Initially hailed as a reformer, his regime became progressively more tyrannical, corrupt and incompetent, particularly as his health deteriorated and he became dependent on his wife and on the cronies he promoted solely based on loyalty.
Some U.S. officials in the mid-1980s defended Marcos on the grounds that "there's no real alternative" (though not, as often claimed, because "at least he's our son of a bitch"). Embassy officials said that the Philippine opposition was weak and expected the U.S. government to do their work for them. But that ignored the fact that continued U.S. support for Marcos was itself discouraging opposition.
Marcos himself was happy to encourage the belief that U.S. support made opposition to him futile. At the same time, he actively eliminated viable alternatives, refusing to name a vice president and jailing or exiling his democratic opponents—most prominently Mrs. Aquino's husband, Benigno.
Everything changed on Aug. 21, 1983, with the murder in broad daylight of Benigno Aquino as he emerged from the aircraft that had returned him from exile in the U.S. That event transformed Corazon Aquino into the leader of an opposition movement that eventually forced Marcos from power. And it reinforced a change in U.S. policy that would have far-reaching consequences in places as far removed as Chile and South Korea.
The U.S. began to press Marcos for political, economic and military reform. The Reagan administration debated whether this pressure might lead to something worse, as in Iran and Nicaragua during the previous administration. But in the end, the conclusion was that it would be more dangerous if Marcos continued on his current course, which was playing into the hands of a brutal insurgency. As a result, U.S. pressure for reform became stronger and increasingly public over the course of the next two years. Finally, in November 1985, Marcos announced on American television that he was calling a snap election for the following February, hoping to gain a popular mandate that would enable him to deflect U.S. pressure.
Marcos calculated that the deeply divided opposition would split its vote among two or more candidates, permitting him to claim a relatively clean victory. He could not foresee that Mrs. Aquino, dismissed by critics as "just a plain housewife," would manage to unite the opposition around a single ticket, forcing her main opponent to sign on as her running mate. As a consequence, Marcos had to resort to massive fraud to steal the election. When he moved to arrest some of his own associates on suspicion of disloyalty, more than a million people gathered to block the arrests, displaying the yellow ribbons that had come to symbolize Benigno Aquino and his widow.
The White House warned Marcos against "attempts to prolong the life of the present regime by violence." Meanwhile, President Reagan's friend and personal envoy, Sen. Paul Laxalt, reinforced the message in a direct phone call, telling Marcos that it was "time to cut, and cut cleanly." In the end, Marcos refrained from using violence to break up the demonstrations and instead boarded a U.S. Air Force plane on Feb. 25, 1986, and headed to exile in Hawaii.
While U.S. influence was significant in bringing about this remarkable peaceful transition, the courage of the Philippine people and Corazon Aquino's leadership were the real impetus. The U.S. helped, not by forcing or imposing an outcome, but by withholding support for Marcos, thus empowering Philippine democrats.
Success in the Philippines encouraged the Reagan administration to continue pressing for democratic reform elsewhere, not only with hostile regimes like the Soviet Union but with "friendly" authoritarians as well. The experience gave the administration confidence that political change did not have to end in violence and disaster. The peaceful democratic transition in the Philippines in 1986 was soon followed by the administration's decision the following year to persuade President Chun Du-hwan of South Korea to step down and allow direct elections. And it affected U.S. policy in places far beyond East Asia.
The years following the triumph of People Power witnessed a series of remarkable peaceful transitions, in places as diverse as the Soviet Union and Chile, Romania and South Korea, Taiwan and South Africa. The trend continues today despite the resistance of authoritarian rulers (witness Iran's "Green Revolution") and some regression on the part of democracies. While these results always depend principally on the people of the individual countries, some credit goes to Corazon Aquino for showing the way and for encouraging a U.S. policy of support for democratic reform. One hopes that U.S. policy continues in this vein and has not returned to a "realist" approach that minimizes the importance of peaceful democratic reform.
President Aquino's record in office was less distinguished than her record as leader of the opposition. The country today is still a long way from the success that could be expected of a population that is so energetic, hard working and generally well educated. Some people have even become nostalgic for what they now remember as the strong leadership of Ferdinand Marcos.
What they forget is how far Marcos had departed from the promise of his early years in office, and how rapidly he was taking the Philippines down a dangerous path. One of the most notable aspects of the Aquino transition was the spirit of reconciliation that she brought to her office. Despite her personal suffering and mistreatment at the hands of the Marcos regime, she was not vengeful. Nor did she dwell on resentment of past U.S. support for her antagonist. As one of the first senior U.S. officials to meet with Mrs. Aquino, during a visit to Manila in January 1985, I was surprised to encounter no recriminations, only a warm welcome for the new U.S. policy. It was left to Marcos's spokesman to criticize this meeting with an opposition leader as "interfering in Philippine internal affairs." That's what tyrants will always say.
Mr. Wolfowitz, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, was assistant secretary of state for East Asian affairs from 1982-86 and more recently served as U.S. deputy secretary of defense and president of the World Bank.

Hey, great app
Dear app maker,
I think this is a great app for kids.. I think it can entertain them for however long they entertain themselfs.. Infact i am a ten year old turning eleven in november.. It would be an honor if you could make an app by the 25-27? I think you would sell alot of this app if you made it... So i think you should stick with the same characters like talking carl for instance.. And maybe we could create our own monster and have our own monster house... We would feed our monsters and play minigames to earn money.. And you cam play with them and enteract with them all kinds of ways.. So i would love if you would do that i would buy it and tell all my friends about it . It think it could even be a great present for me... If you read this even though you probably wont think about making this app
As a teacher of special needs students, this app could have useful applications. Sadly the it seems like the mustach always stays in front of the mouth. Like many of the apps that repeat what you say, this one needs to have the first syllable extended to activate the record function so it won't chop off the beginning of what you say. It would be neat if clearly happy and clearly sad faces could be conctructed.
Too much fun...
Our baby girls fight over the phone now... And I find myself using this at work... This app has amazed everyone that has seen it... except one person...lol

Mystery Painting Prompts Search for Answers
Byline: Karen McCowan The Register-Guard
HE'S RESCUED the painting not once, but twice. Now that it's again on public display, political consultant and activist Scott Bartlett would like some help from the public.
He's sleuthing for some answers: Who were Ferris and Goethe, the artists who signed it? For what public location was it commissioned? And where is the setting of the lovers' picnic it depicts?
The restored, 5-foot-by-8-foot painting was formally unveiled by County Commissioner Bill Dwyer last month. (Dwyer joined Bartlett and others in underwriting the repair, remounting and reframing of the painting.)
Painted in a water-based tempera, it depicts a young couple in a mountaintop meadow against a backdrop of unlogged ridges. A 1920s vintage convertible sits at the right edge of the painting.
The painting now commands an entire wall at the Lane County Historical Museum - a far cry from the unceremonious spot where Bartlett first rescued it.
Rewind to 1981.
Bartlett, who had attended the University of Oregon in the mid-1960s, was back in town for a visit. He stopped by Collins Bike Shop, where he'd always admired the large painting that hung high on the wall. But the store had changed hands. The painting was gone.
When he asked about it, one of the new employees led him out behind the store.
Bartlett literally rescued the painting from the shop's Dumpster. He offered to buy it, threw it in the back of his pick-up and drove it over to show to Barbara Zentnor, then curator of the UO Art Museum.
Zentnor, who has since died, told Bartlett that it was probably painted by a Works Progress Administration artist during the Great Depression.
He donated the painting to what was then called the Lane County Pioneer Museum, which displayed it near an antique automobile. Eventually, museum officials removed the painting to a storage area, however, after noticing that visiting schoolchildren were damaging the already frail canvas by poking their fingers into its rips and tears.
By the mid-1990s, Bartlett was back in Eugene and noticed the painting's absence. He began talking with current museum director Ed Stelfox about restoring the painting and returning it to public display.
Last fall, Jan Cavanaugh, an art conservator and former director of the Reed College Art Gallery, came to the University of Oregon to teach a course in art conservation.
Cavanaugh, who has a private painting restoration practice, agreed to take on the project at about half the usual fee. …

Spanish racer Elena Rosell joins Aspar Suter to become the first woman to ride in a grand prix world championship event since 2003.
yes, but is she hot?
Thought Jordi Torres did quite well at Silverstone, he was very close to Javier Fores (the other Aspar Moto2 rider) all weekend. But still always enjoy seeing new riders do a round or two to see how they go! See Marcel Schrotter, Valencia 2009, 125cc race. 5th on a Honda amongst all those Derbi/Aprilia bikes was a very impressive ride.
Oi... If she can hold her own I commend her. But Jenny Tinmouth rings a bell here... I agree though, 11th means there were at least 10 guys that could've ridden instead.
Well at least if she has a fit "Brolly Boy" it will keep my wife happy, she was just commenting on that yesterday
I believe melissa paris had a wild card in WSS last year. Iirc, she did qualify for the races (which is imho a noteworthy achievement), let's see what this Elena can do in moto2.
I remember there was a woman in the 250cc class the same year as Rossi.The most sought after by the press were Rossi.. Because he was Rossi and her because... She was a woman.All to the detriment of the rest. I think she failed to qualify for the race most of the times.
Why are people surprised about this?There's more motorcycle racers in Spain than FOX News viewers in the United States.
Katja Poensingen could ride and on the right bike she was competitive, but ended up in the Dark Dog team which at the time was a bad place to be and she lost her way I think. The best female rider I can think of was Taru Rinne, she was capable of leading GP's best result I think was a 7th in the West German 125GP at Hockenheim, not bad for a pretty little Finnish girl on a privately entered bike. Too many big crashes and a broken pelvis finished her career if I remember right. Any rider, male or female should be there on merit, give the girl a chance, she won't match Simon's performance by any stretch but its only a temp ride, no doubt for the benefit of Spanish sponsors, but lets see how she goes before sticking the knives in.
I'll hold off judgement. This is the Aspar team that has teams in all classes - they don't need extra publicity. Unlike a team like LCR that takes whatever sponsor and publicity that they can get, historically Aspar has always had decent riders based on results. Just because she's 11th doesn't mean that the sole measure of her speed. Marco Simoncelli is 11th in MotoGP but he's been much faster than that. DNFs (cause by her or others) or incidents here and there may have played a part.

Unless you want to bawl like a baby. Then, by all means, watch it.
Do not, under any circumstance
I liked it. I did cry and I have decided that they should have put a warning on it that expecting mothers should be warned that they will cry out of control tears. But the couple that lost their baby brought back memories of us when we lost our baby. I was not expecting that. Movies don't usually talk about how the loss of a baby though M/C affects the parents. But anyway, I agree with you, don't watch unless you are wanting a good cry.
I saw that two of my men were in it and I knew I had to watch it for GP. But I still haven't.

BELVIDERE — More furry friends may be able to find new homes with the opening of Boone County's expanded adoption center.
BELVIDERE — More furry friends may be able to find new homes with the opening of Boone County's expanded adoption center.
The Boone County Animal Services & Adoption Center is hosting its grand opening Saturday to show residents the new programs offered, ranging from adoptions to nail trims to micro-chipping.
Programs Coordinator Jacqui Mitzelfelt said under the previous name, Boone County Animal Services, residents believed they were solely "dog catchers." She said the center helps injured animals, removes wild animals from residences, and helps dogs and cats find new homes.
"It's not just going out and picking up stray dogs. We want to tell people what we do," she said.
The newest program came through donations, which provided a roof for more dog runs. Now the center can house 15 dogs, up from 7.
The center also has worked toward creating foster homes for dogs who have not been adopted yet. Mitzelfelt said this step allows dogs, especially those that have been abused, realize they are going to a loving home while helping potential owners learn more about the pooches.
"(Foster home volunteers) can say, 'He likes to snuggle under the covers or lick the lotion off your hands,'" Mitzelfelt said.
Kathy Coil has housed seven dogs in the last three months until they found new owners. She keeps tabs on their feeding habits, behaviors and quirks to share with the potential owners.
Coil plans to bring a 4-month-old Shih Tzu named Skippy and a 2-year-old Chihuahua named Petey to the event Saturday, hoping to find them new homes. She says with the new services at the center, they are sure to go quickly.
The grand opening will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Boone County Animal Services & Adoption Center, 1230 S. Appleton Road. There will be five dogs and two cats up for adoption. People can also get an animal micro-chipped for $15 and nails trimmed for $5.

EBITDAX is used as a financial measure by Recovery Energy's management team and by other users of its financial statements to analyze such things as: oRecovery Energy's operating performance and return on capital in comparison to those of other companies in its industry, without regard to financial or capital structure; oThe financial performance of the company's assets and valuation of the entity, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; oRecovery Energy's ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness; and oThe viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates or return on alternative investment opportunities. EBITDAX is not a calculation based on GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) in measuring the Company's performance, nor used as an exclusive measure of cash flow, because it does not consider the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions, and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the company's statements of cash flows. Recovery Energy has reported EBITDAX because this measure is commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator of a company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt. You should carefully consider the specific items included in the Company's computations of EBITDAX. While Recovery Energy has disclosed its EBITDAX to permit a more complete comparative analysis of its operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies, you are cautioned that EBITDAX as reported by the Company may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDAX as reported by other companies. EBITDAX amounts may not be fully available for management's discretionary use, due to requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, debt service and other commitments. Recovery Energy believes that EBITDAX assists its lenders and investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to certain expenses, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods. Because the Company may borrow money to finance its operations, interest expense is a necessary element of its costs and ability to generate cash available for distribution. Because Recovery Energy uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of its costs. Additionally, the company may, at some point, be required to pay federal and state taxes, which are necessary elements of its costs. Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, Recovery Energy believes it is important to consider both net income (loss) determined under GAAP and EBITDAX to evaluate its performance. The following table presents a reconciliation of the company's net (loss) to its EBITDAX for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011: Three Months Ending Nine Months Ending September 30, September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net Loss $(2,836,63) $(3,027,618) $(12,777,29) $(11,533,686) Interest expense 2,149,931 2,136,950 6,320,919 6,123,496 Depreciation, depletion, amortization 1,069,068 1,052,946 2,897,156 3,194,301 and accretion Changes in the fair value of commodity 130,000 -- (445,609) (222,788) price derivatives Change in fair value of convertible notes (600,000) 13,338 (700,000) (1,587,699) conversion derivative Impairment of evaluated -- -- 3,274,718 -- properties Amortization of stock issued for services and 588,004 1,039,128 1,773,658 5,965,872 share based compensation EBITDAX $500,369 $1,214,744 $343,543 $1,939,496 CONTACT: MDC GROUP Investor Relations: David Castaneda 262-377-2445 Media Relations: Susan Roush 818-222-8330 Recovery Energy Logo

China Emissions Cleanup Is Urged
BEIJING -- China's greenhouse-gas emissions growth is on course to wipe out gains from Western conservation efforts unless the nation intensifies clean-up efforts, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told audiences in China Wednesday.
In meetings with senior Chinese energy officials and in a speech at prestigious Tsinghua University, Mr. Chu continued the Obama administration's efforts to push for greater action on climate change. China recently surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
While acknowledging that the world's developed Western nations have contributed most of the carbon dioxide already trapped in the atmosphere, Mr. Chu warned that China could add more in the next few decades than everything the U.S. emitted since the Industrial Revolution. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas.
"The developed world did make the problem, I admit that," Mr. Chu said in the speech to students of China's top science and engineering school. "But the developing world can make it much worse."
Painting a grim picture of a world faced with making a tough choice between "something bad might happen or something very bad might happen" even if global warming is addressed, Mr. Chu urged China to invest more in energy-efficient technologies in partnership with the U.S.
Mr. Chu is traveling with U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke on a mission to remove trade barriers hindering private-sector cooperation with China on clean energy.
Increasingly, China's involvement is seen as crucial to any efforts to combat global warming because of its vast population and growing commercial and technological might.
Chinese officials acknowledge the problems of global warming but insist the developed world should foot the bill and worry that curbing carbon could stymie economic growth. China's resistance to any caps on its carbon emissions is contributing to difficulties in forging a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, the first global pact on greenhouse gases, which expires by the end of 2012.
But the Chinese government is encouraging greater energy efficiency. Increasingly, China is on the forefront of many new green technologies such as solar, wind power and cleaner ways to burn coal -- avenues with which the U.S. hopes to partner with the Chinese.
China has been moving ahead with developing next-generation clean-coal power plants that could eventually separate out carbon dioxide for storage. A similar project in the U.S. has run into trouble as some private partners in the government-backed FutureGen project have pulled out despite Obama administration support.
This week, Mr. Chu and Mr. Locke met with Zhang Ping, chairman of China's top economic policy maker, the National Development and Reform Commission, and Zhang Guobao, China's top energy official.

Migration Policy Institute - Family Reunification

Signed into law 50 years ago, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 had several unintended consequences that have had a profound effect on the flow of immigrants to the United States and contributed to the transformation of the U.S. demographic profile. This Policy Beat explores the law's lasting impact and lessons for policymaking today.
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of passage of the Immigration Act of 1965, this symposium focuses on the political and policy dynamics that came together to make the law possible and how it changed the U.S. legal immigration system, the country's demographics, and future.
The annual inflow of new lawful permanent residents (LPRs), also known as green-card holders, has ebbed and flowed with changes in U.S. immigration policy and processing backlogs. This data Spotlight delves into legal immigration in the United States, covering class of admission, country of origin, destination states, and more.
Facing legal setbacks and political opposition, the Obama administration may be required to overhaul its policy of detaining families in immigration custody. Recent court decisions have undermined the government's justification of the policy as a deterrent to future illegal immigration and may result in the release of more than 1,400 unauthorized immigrant women and children.
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of passage of the Immigration Act of 1965, a symposium with distinguished experts on the political and policy dynamics that came together to make the law possible, how it changed the U.S. legal immigration system and the country's demographics, and what these and other changes mean for the nation's future.
Policymakers, the public, and the media were seemingly caught off-guard in spring 2014 when a surge of child migrants from Central America reached the U.S.-Mexico border in unprecedented numbers.
