Title : Wellesley lads.
Format : song
Composer : Dunbar, William (b.1853? d.1874)
Production details : publisher : Stephenson and DrydenSt. Nicholas Church Yard, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear
Date : 1874
Collection name : Local and other songs, recitations, and conundrums, a local tale etc.
Song in praise of a river and sea school for training young sailors.
Attracted by the relatively high rates of pay, or wishing to escape the drudgery of industrial life, a career at sea would have been obviously alluring for the men of Tyneside. Sailors usually went to sea as boys and stayed on to become seamen. The novelty of life at sea, however, could wear off and few stayed long enough to rise to petty officer or ship master. During times of war much of a ships crew was made up of untrained labourers, many the victims of impressment. Trained and experienced sailors were therefore extremely important. This song refers to one of the first schools set up for the purpose of training sailors, at Wellesley on Tyneside.
This song was written by William Dunbar and printed in 1874. Dunbar began his life in the service of Gateshead painter and glazier, Mr. Romanis. After working for a short time in the service of a Felling cartwright, he spent the remainder of his life in the coal pits. He varied the monotony of the pit life by appearing at amateur concerts at which, although not much of a singer, he was always well received. Along with his talent for composing, Dunbar had a decided taste for drawing and spent much of his spare time producing water-colours and pencil sketches. During the last few years of his life he spent most of his time writing pieces for the local annuals, published by J.W. Chater of Newcastle. He won a number of medals and competitions and on his death in 1874 was fondly remembered with a number of tributes in Chater's publications.
'Wellesley Lads' forms part of a small song book published by Stevenson and Dryden of Newcastle. It contains over 40 pages of local songs composed by Dunbar, along with extracts from 'Chater's Diary and Local Remembrancer'. Most of the songs are given the tune to which they were intended to be sung and are classified into 'local', 'motto', or 'comic' song types. The book was published in 1874, probably on the death of William Dunbar.

New Shows Starting January 2012
We haven't even got to Christmas, yet there is already a huge buzz on TV shows set to begin in the New Year. From the return of Celebrity Big Brother, to a morning debate show named The Big Questions, there are plenty of excellent TV shows set to kick off in January sure to leave us all glued to the sofa, or will they?
One of the most talked about TV shows returning to our screens in the first few weeks of January 2012, is Celebrity Big Brother. The show has been running for almost a decade now in the UK, and despite the fact that it only seems like yesterday that we seen the lovable traveler Paddy win a few months ago, Channel 5 has already began negotiating with stars around the world to tempt them into starring in the new series in January.
Although there are no official confirmations of stars who will be appearing on the reality show we all love to hate, yet cannot resist watching, there have been many hard to ignore rumors all over tabloids and the internet of who will be going into the house next year. Lindsay Lohan, is one celebrity said to be talking with Channel 5 at the moment, however despite her interest in doing the show her recent chain of legal issues may hinder her chances of being allowed to leave the US to spend time in the UK for Celebrity Big Brother 2012. Natasha Giggs is another name we have all seen splashed over newspapers this year, and is also said to be considering a stint in the house. Other familiar names within the UK who we may just see in the house next year include Denise Welch from Loose Women; ex Eastenders actress Natalie Cassidy; and even X factor rejects Frankie Cocozza and Kitty Bruckenell have expressed an interest in entering the house in January.
Who goes in? Who doesn't? We will have to stay tuned to find out!
January 8th 2012, over on BBC1 sees the return of The Big Questions. This show is quite the opposite to Channel 5's Big Brother, as the show's host Nick Cambell brings an open debate to our living rooms each morning. The show is filmed in front of a live audience, and will see a variety of guests each week engage in sometimes heated debates with one an another surrounding a cast range of topics from religion to politics.
Also said to be returning to Channel 4 in January 2012 is season 9 of Shameless. The show will return with its usual late night slot over on Channel 4, and will run for several weeks with more than 15 episodes for us all to enjoy. The show will see the return of everyone's favourite lout Frank Gallagher, as well as a good number of the existing cast we seen in season 8. Bringing something fresh to the new season in January 2012, there has also been news of several new cast members who will be joining next year's show. Some details of who will be joining include an ex Eastenders cast member Stephen Lor, as well as Angela Ball from the Commitments, which will play alongside Lord as his sister. There will also be an ex Skins cast member Morwenna Banks joining who is said to be playing a project consultant with a ruthless attitude sure to cause a stir amongst the Chatsworth Estate residents.

YUBA CITY, Calif. — There are some people in Sarah Garibay's life who might be angry enough to burn down her house; the self-described former paid escort admits to breaking many hearts across California's prune country.
She never suspected, though, that a call seeking comfort and advice from the county district attorney — a former lover — would put him under suspicion too.
"It baffled me," she said.
Sutter County DA Carl Adams unusual hands-on involvement in a lowly fire investigation, on top of the woeful texts sent to Garibay proclaiming jealousy of her other suitors, prompted Yuba City police last month to name him as an arson fire suspect in a search warrant affidavit.
Other potential suspects include a wealthy married Sikh fruit farmer, a longtime client who is the alleged father of the woman's year-old baby, and the woman's boyfriend at the time.
Her 70-year-old estranged husband is not.
"I've made some bad choices with men," the center of this love quadrangle, 32-year-old Garibay, told The Associated Press recently in a bid to clear Adams' name. She said she doesn't think — and never told police — that Adams should be an arson suspect.
Another bad choice was an ex-boyfriend now serving a 12-year-prison term for killing a local physician in 2010 when he caught the two in the act, she said. The district attorney's office granted Garibay immunity for her testimony, which in hindsight has raised eyebrows across the community.
"There was in no way an exchange of sex for favors in the first trial. It makes for good headlines and soap opera, but it's not the case," she said. "I only met him this year."
Adams, 65, seemingly was a pillar of the community — a Mason, Rotary Club officer and past president of the California District Attorneys Association.
The people of this town an hour north of Sacramento were shocked to learn their eight-term DA had been involved with an escort and was on the wrong side of an arson case.
"The hardest part, unfortunately, is not knowing if the allegations are true. If it's true, it's unfortunate because people put their trust in him," Fotine Halikashkopriva said in front of her popular deli.
Adams, a jowly grandfather with a bushy mustache and large wire glasses, has kept a low profile recently and isn't talking to the press, though he did tell the Marysville Appeal-Democrat at one point: "As far as my position in office, I never did anything illegal, unprofessional or unethical."

CLAS Standard 6
Where language barriers exist, accurate and effective communication cannot exist. Relying on staff not fully bilingual or who lack interpreter training leads to misunderstanding, dissatisfaction, omission of vital information, misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment and lack of compliance with treatment.
Standard 6's intent is to ensure accurate and effective communication between the patient/consumer and the clinicians and administrative staff.
Competent Language Assistance: Professional interpreters or staff acting in the role of an interpreter must demonstrate a level of bilingual proficiency. This includes knowledge and facility with the terms and concepts relevant to the type of encounter. Their training and competency of all interpreters must be verified and documented. (The National Council on Interpretation in Healthcare has recommended a minimum of 40 hours of specific training).
Family or friends should not be required, suggested or used as interpreters. Minor children are never to be used as interpreters, nor be allowed to interpret for their parents when they are the patient.
It is only after the staff has offered free interpreter services and the patient has declined the services that a family member or friend can be used as an interpreter. When the patient chooses the option of using a family member or friend as their interpreter, the staff should suggest a professional interpreter be present during the initial encounter to ensure accurate interpretation. Staff then should document the patient's decline of the offer in the patient's medical record.
Consider the following example:
A Hispanic woman had to sign an informed consent for a hysterectomy. She was not offered an interpreter by her bilingual son was willing to serve as the interpreter. When he described the procedure to his mother, he appeared to be translating accurately and indicating the appropriate body parts. His mother signed willingly. The next day, however, when she learned her uterus had been removed and that she could no longer bear children, she became angry, upset and threatened to sue the hospital.
What went wrong? It is inappropriate for a Hispanic male to discuss his mother's private parts with his mother. The son was embarrassed and explained that a tumor would be removed from her abdomen and pointed to the general area. When the patient learned her uterus had been removed, she became quite angry and upset. Her status as a Hispanic woman, which was partially determined by her ability to bear children and the number that she produced, was now compromised.

There's something incredibly surreal about attending a heavy metal concert when you don't feel well.
I was hurting when I went to see Queens of the Stone Age at the Webster Theatre the night before Easter in 2005, and the whole show felt like one bizarre fever dream. It was the same feeling Wednesday night when Iron Maiden opened its world tour at the Dodge Music Center in Hartford.
After a while, you're no longer watching a band play music, you're inside the music as it swirls around and pummels you, and you sort of lose track of time and space until you have become the metal. And then someone brings you a bottle of water and the feeling retreats a bit until you can go home and gulp down some cold medicine.
The band was excellent, though, playing the entirety of its new album, "A Matter of Life and Death," and then revisiting some crowd favorites at the end of its hour and 45 minute set. Eddie, the band's dessicated zombie mascot, was prominently featured, of course, both on backdrops behind the musicians and as a giant walking puppet thing with red glowing eyes during the encore.
My review runs Friday, but here's a set list in the meantime:
1. "Different World"
2. "These Colours Don't Run"
3. "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns"
4. "The Pilgrim"
5. "The Longest Day"
6. "Out of the Shadows"
7. "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg"
8. "For the Greater Good of God"
9. "Lord of Light"
10. "The Legacy"
11. "Fear of the Dark"
12. "Iron Maiden"
13. "Two Minutes to Midnight"
14. "The Evil That Men Do"
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name"

The man was shot in the chest by an officer responding to a report of a shooting in the Harvey Park neighborhood. A woman was later found dead in a nearby home, and a second woman was found wounded in another home, Police Chief Robert White said.
Police said Daniel Abeyta, 31, was being held for investigation of charges including murder. The identities of the women were not immediately released, and no motive was evident.
Police said Abeyta was in critical condition, while the surviving woman was in serious condition.
White said the man had two or three propane tanks with gunpowder on top and had placed them in the middle of the street. He said the man fired at one of them and it "activated," but no one was injured.
Before he was shot, the man was seen walking with his weapons. Police alerted residents to stay inside and a high school was put on lockdown. Abeyta was shot within about a half hour of that warning. ) that he has lived in the area at least since she moved in three years ago. She said he lived in a house with his wife and two children, who are in elementary school.
Allen said she and her children saw him walk down the street Friday.
"He seemed like a nice person," she said. "He was always with his kids outside.

Why the Word "Wow" was Banned from my Children's VocabularyMeghan Gesswein
I've said before that, in the grand scheme of things, my children using swear words is not a huge deal. They know that they aren't appropriate to be used at this point in their lives, but they know them so, of course, they sometimes use them. They might occasionally get a mild rebuke or stink eye from one of us, but they don't get punished for swearing. Unless, of course, they've been specifically told not to say or do something in particular, and then do it anyway.
Knowing this about us, it might surprise you that we have recently banned the word "wow" from their vocabulary.
I'm not sure where or when it started exactly, but at some point over the last few months my oldest child has adopted the use of the word "wow" in a really bizarre way. Whenever a brother or friend does something that he doesn't like or agree with, he can be heard saying "Wow, insertnamehere. WOW. WOOOOW. Really insertnamehere? WOW."
It's not so much that it's insanely annoying to listen to (even though it so is), it's the tone with which he uses it. It's condescending. And snarky. And sarcastic. And mean. And while I know kids are going to fight and argue and say stupid things to each other, something about the way he uses "wow" as a weapon bugs the ever loving snot out of me and it has been decided that he is no longer allowed to say it. At all.
If you'd asked me five years ago if I would have rules banning certain innocuous words from my children's vocabulary, I probably would have thought you were crazy. But as we get deeper and deeper into this parenting thing, I can say that I'm learning that nothing should ever surprise me. Kids really do keep you on your toes, don't they?
Have you ever had your child take something totally innocent and turn it into something inappropriate?

Are you rich when you make over $250,000?
Prof. Todd Henderson at the University of Chicago got probably more Web traffic than he anticipated when he wrote about the effect the expiring Bush tax cuts might have on his family. There's a bit of "who knows best how to spend your money, you or the politicians?" tendentiousness. But mostly it's a straightforward description of his family's finances -- $15,000 in property taxes, big mortgage, $500,000 in education debt for Henderson and his doctor wife etc. -- and how they might respond to higher taxes.
Henderson doesn't specify his family's exact income. He says only that's over $250,000 but not by a lot. Tyler Cowen quoted someone else saying it was $455,000, but has since recanted. Henderson:
If our taxes rise significantly, as they seem likely to, we can cut back on some things. The (legal) immigrant from Mexico who owns the lawn service we employ will suffer, as will the (legal) immigrant from Poland who cleans our house a few times a month. We can cancel our cell phones and some cable channels, as well as take our daughter from her art class at the community art center, but these are only a few hundred dollars per month in total. But more importantly, what is the theory under which collecting this money in taxes and deciding in Washington how to spend it is superior to our decisions? Ask the entrepreneurs we employ and the new arrivals they employ in turn whether they prefer to work for us or get a government handout.
There was a very hostile reaction, with Henderson being accused of "sniveling," "mendacity, ignorance, and small-minded cupidity" and other grave sins.
I suspect the Henderson household will find a way to adjust without canceling the cell phones and cable if the Bush tax cuts expire. Nevertheless it seems to be a family without much in the way of net worth, the traditional measure for "rich."

Fits my profile for a disruptive company: low margin products, giving access to products to a market who normally can't get it, a technology/process advantage that allows them to outcompete on cost.
This is a tracking portfolio of all CAPS-ratable tickers in the Chinese RTO/SPAC space (i.e., companies that listed without filing an IPO).
China Precision Steel, Inc. went public via a reverse merger in 2006. The company is based in Hong Kong.
positioned well in an expanding economy
Mmmm... hot-rolled steel strips
Fairly obvious Chinese infastructure small-cap play, as long as you believe in China as the next powerhouse growth economy of this decade, and as long as you can stomach the perceived risks of fraud and/or cooked books. I definitely can, but I'm spreading my bucks around on a pretty sizeable group of companies in an attempt to mitigate the risks. All in all, I'm feeling quite a bit more confident in my China plays, and more and more convinced that now is the time to start adding to my positions in anticipation of a strong renewed interest from U.S. investors in the next year.
My China bets have been fairly poor recently, although this one has not been too bad. The company's finances have improved this year and it appears that China will continue to grow at a rate that is sustainable for several years. I anticipate that this stock will gradually beat the index but not in a spectacular way. It may take until 2011 for CPSL to pull ahead of the S&P 500, mostly because I suspect that next year's earnings for the index will disappoint and lead to a US market correction.
Short term will not see much upside, but as economy improves over the next couple yrs. we'll see upside to $5 or more.
This small steel producer will benefit hugely from growing Chinese middle class. Their cold rolled steel products are mainly used in auto and small appliances industries. This is a cycle that should continue for years.
the product it provides steel for are the things that the chinese people are buying more and more of. It provides thin gage steel for appliances for one important thing
A stock that will do good in a growing China economy in 3-5 years.
Don't let the P/E scare you. China Precision Steel has got a clear road ahead to $3.00 in the next six months. (Any China pull back will be beyond this time horizon). Debt/Equity well below 1. An outstanding growth story; note that only one analyst covers this bad boy, and he undershot the company by, well, 500% last quarter. Positive and increasing sales growth figures. It's clarity that's holding this puppy down, but as the quarters roll on, and the cash roles in, the potential for multi-baggin' will show itself.
Chinese, which is new 21st century word for "continued growth", unlike the mouth-breathers of the Inner Beltway of Dee Cee who continue to make the wrong decisions. Until Congress "gets it" with real change to bring back jobs (NOT just those service ones either!!) I will have to bet more $$ overseas.
P.S., I love the 11% that APWR gave me today. I'm actually long as I got 'em two weeks ago whilst on sale. Double bagger likely on that one in a year if they get their deliveries on schedule - I agree with a fellow gold bug in that regard.
Oversold. Ready for a Bounce back. Earnings will be super duper...
underpriced stock in a growing economy
a basic industry play in the world's fastest growing economy. Good fundamentals.

Chinese Millionaire Launches Line of Canned Air to Raise Awareness for Hazardous Smog Problem
Posted By Lori Zimmer On January 30, 2013 @ 5:43 pm In Air quality,Environment,environmental destruction,News | No Comments
Billionaire Chen Guangbiao [2] is taking China's air pollution problem [3] into his own hands – by launching a line of canned air. In a move that rivals a scene out of Mel Brooks' Spaceballs [4], the entrepreneur has created a line of designer air and is selling it for market consumption to raise awareness of the thick smog that has become the norm in Beijing [5]. As North China's air quality has pushed the limits of the Air Quality Index over the past month, Guangbiao hopes his canned air stunt will snap leaders into accepting the hazardous reality of Beijing's air pollution problem.
Blankets of smog envelop the city of Beijing, which has an alarming concentration of airborne PM 2.5 particulates [6]. Since last Friday these small, harmful toxins have measured at amounts twenty times higher than the World Health Organization air quality standard.
Guangbiao's tongue-in-cheek attempt to quickly raise awareness stems from his very realistic fear that China's air quality [7] could deteriorate so drastically in 20 or 30 years that navigating the streets would be impossible without gas masks or oxygen tanks. The quirky campaign features a line of the canned air in "flavors" that reference less industrial times or regions, such as pristine Tibet, post-industrial Taiwan and revolutionary Yan'an. The entrepreneur, whose fortune is valued at $740 million, is also a heavy advocate of bicycle riding over driving – in the past he has given away 5,000 bikes to citizens to further his point.
With PM 2.5 particulates at an all-time high, Guangbiao's canned air stunt [8], may foreshadow a harsh reality in the future if no action is taken. Guangbiao has faced criticism and is accused of pulling the stunt just to further his own business, but the unlikely environmentalist has the power to bring media attention to some very serious issues.

Suite 506
New York, NY 10022
Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.
Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

How to balance risk and reward
May 22, 2013
No doubt you've heard there's no reward without risk. That's as true of investing as it is of anything else in life.
Historically, each of the three major investment asset classes—stocks, bonds, and cash—has produced pretty consistent long-term returns, along with pretty consistent degrees of risk. Understanding these historical patterns can help you handle risk in your own portfolio.
Research we've done at Vanguard has shown that getting your asset mix right can have more impact on your long-term returns than anything else—it's even more important than the individual investments you choose.
See why your asset mix matters so much
Use our interactive illustration to see how changes in asset allocation can affect a portfolio's performance, and learn more about developing a suitable asset mix using broadly diversified funds.
Get started »
How to strike a balance
For investors, risk comes in many forms. There's the risk of a downturn in stock prices. There's the risk that inflation will erode an asset's purchasing power. There's the risk of political instability affecting international markets. And so on.
Achieving long-term financial goals means accepting the trade-off between risk and reward, and understanding the historical patterns that have gone along with the three primary asset classes. Stocks, historically, have offered higher long-term returns than bonds or cash, but they've also carried more risk. Bonds have offered higher returns—with more risk—than cash. Cash has provided a measure of stability, but money that's stuffed in your mattress nets zero return and will probably fail to keep pace with inflation. Paradoxically, taking a conservative approach to market risk may expose you to a high degree of purchasing power risk.
Fundamentally, how you allocate your assets among stocks, bonds, and cash depends on how much risk you're willing to take for an expected return. And that depends on why you're investing, and when you need your money.
So, what's the right way to divvy up your portfolio? You'll need to answer three basic questions:
1. What are your goals and time frame?
To manage risk effectively, first establish your goals. (Are you saving for retirement or a vacation? Or both?) Next, set a reasonable time period to reach them. Generally, the longer your time frame, the more money you can consider allocating to stocks and stock funds, which have had the greatest long-term potential for growth.
For near-term goals—those less than a year away—think about conservative cash investments, such as a money market fund. On the other hand, if you're saving for something a little farther out, such as a down payment on a house with a time frame of three years, give some thought to lower-risk assets like short-term bonds. If you're looking even further down the road to retirement, you may be able to afford to invest more aggressively in stocks—as long as you're willing to accept the added risk.
2. How well do you sleep at night?
As you can see in the interactive illustration on this page, stocks have turned in the strongest overall long-term performance of all three asset classes—with some painful short-term setbacks along the way. As the illustration shows, annual returns for stocks fluctuated much more dramatically than for bonds and cash, ranging as high as +53% and as low as –37%, while the range of returns for bonds was much narrower (+28% to –16%).* To be a successful investor, you need to expect the unexpected and be prepared for bad days as well as good ones. It's easy to handle the upside of stocks, but some investors would have trouble sleeping after a steep drop. That's why having a mix of stocks and bonds in your portfolio sometimes can lessen the severity of turbulence nightmares.
*Source: Vanguard. Stock market returns are represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for the period 1926–1970, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index for 1971–April 22, 2005, and the MSCI US Broad Market Index thereafter. Bonds are represented by the S&P High Grade Corporate Index for 1926–1968, the Citigroup High Grade Index for 1969–1972, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Long Credit AA Index for 1973–1975, and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index thereafter. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index.
3. Are all your eggs in one basket?
You can further reduce your investment risk through diversification. That means spreading your assets around—across different asset classes, market sectors, capitalization levels, and countries.
An easy way to do this is by investing in mutual funds, which can provide exposure to hundreds of securities in one investment vehicle. You could build a fully diversified portfolio—one that encompasses multiple asset classes as well as a broad spectrum of securities within each class—by owning just one broadly diversified index fund. You can also invest in funds that focus on different market sectors, industries, countries, or market capitalizations (that is, sizes of the companies they're invested in).
Related insights
Just bear in mind that no amount of diversification can guarantee you'll turn a profit or protect you from losses.
For help coming up with your own asset allocation, take our Investor Questionnaire.
Stay focused—and balanced
Once you've implemented an asset mix you're comfortable with, day-to-day movements on Wall Street can change your portfolio without your even noticing it, even if you never make another transaction.
In a long bull market, the relative value of your stock funds might grow to dwarf your holdings in bonds and cash. As a result, you'd be taking significantly more risk than you'd originally intended. That's why it's wise to periodically rebalance your portfolio to keep it from drifting too far from your asset allocation targets.
- All investing is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal.
- Investments in stocks issued by non-U.S. companies are subject to risks including country/regional risk and currency risk.
- Investments in bond funds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.
- Prices of mid- and small-cap stocks often fluctuate more than those of large-company stocks.
- An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in such a fund.
- Bank deposit accounts and CDs are guaranteed (within limits) as to principal and interest by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is an agency of the federal government.
- Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
- For broadly diversified portfolios, decisions about asset mix have a far greater influence on investment results than specific mutual fund choices or market-timing. See the section on "Balance" in Vanguard's Principles for Investing Success for more information.
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index.

ANC ready to celebrate success
Article By: Alex Eliseev, EWNSun, 06 Jan 2013 12:17 PM
African National Congress Secretary General Gwede Mantashe on Sunday said educating society about the party's history was the biggest success of its year-long centenary programme.
The ANC is hosting a celebratory concert in KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday, during which President Jacob Zuma may speak.
But Mantashe says today's event will not be a day for long speeches because formal events are set down for next week.
"The president will say a few words but it is not an event for speeches but more of an event for celebration.
"We are celebrating because we did well in the country."
The ruling party's newly elected National Executive Committee is due to meet next week on Friday ahead of a major rally the following day.
There may also be a smaller function on the party's actual 101st birthday on January 8, 2013.

Founded in 1922, the College is committed to educating a diverse population in the liberal arts for personal, professional, and global responsibility. The College believes that truly progressive education selectively blends traditional values with new ideas that represent real growth.
In the tradition of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Notre Dame has retained its philosophy of being an opportunity college. The College strives to provide its mission-focused, values-based, private Catholic education to students who might otherwise not have access to such an experience. Through institutional financial aid of $19 million annually, 95 percent of Notre Dame students receive financial aid and over half are the first in their families to attend college.
One of the most diverse colleges in Ohio, approximately one-fourth of Notre Dame's students are of minority populations. Twenty states and a dozen countries are represented in the student body. The student body is approximately 55 percent male and 55 percent Catholic. Fifty-three percent of the students live on campus.
Notre Dame has seen significant growth during the past 10 years. The College's current enrollment totals more than 2,200 students. More than 240 employees work to support the College's mission of educating students for personal, professional, and global responsibility.
The College's 57 full-time faculty members are dedicated to student success; the small class sizes offer personalized attention. Notre Dame offers majors in nearly 30 disciplines with classes available both online and on its campus in South Euclid, Ohio. The College confers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees through its five academic divisions – Business Administration, Arts & Humanities, Nursing, Education, and Science & Mathematics – and special and interdisciplinary programs.
The Finn Center for Adult, Graduate, and Professional Programs works specifically with adult and online students. The Center continues the rich tradition of adult education at Notre Dame College, offering certificates, bachelor's degrees, and master's degrees to those seeking professional development, career advancement, or career changes.
A signature program at Notre Dame is the Academic Support Center (ASC) for Students with Learning Differences. This advocacy program assists students diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, or dyslexia, a group traditionally underserved in post-secondary education. Through the ASC, students have access to quality educational opportunities and support services necessary to be successful in the collegiate environment.
The College's 53-acre wooded campus is located in South Euclid, Ohio, 25 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Major improvements have been recently made to the campus. Campus-wide construction and renovations include the Academic Support Center for Students with Learning Differences and a Starbucks-style coffee lounge, 10 classrooms, 12 faculty offices, and new facilities for the Nursing Program and two residence halls. The Christ the King Chapel was completely renewed and the Connelly Center Dining Hall was dramatically renovated.
A NCAA Division II institution, Notre Dame's 22 intercollegiate sports for men and women include bowling, water polo, and football. The College is a member of the newly formed Mountain East Conference. The recent completion of two multipurpose all-weather athletic fields on campus has transformed student life and energized student engagement.

Solomon's PM Defends Traditional Dolphin Hunting
By Jeremy Inifiri
HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Solomon Star, Feb. 17, 2014) – Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo says the government does not oppose the traditional hunt for wild dolphins.
What it is against is the export of live dolphins overseas.
Mr Lilo clarified this when interviewed for a documentary on dolphin hunting recently shot and documented here in the country by internationally renowned journalist, Drew Ambrose of Aljazeera English Television.
"Dolphin hunting or rather calling of dolphins is indeed a seasonal traditional practice that has been passed from generation to generation especially by our people residing in the Lau Lagoons of Malaita and also Walande and Fanalei Islands," Mr Lilo said.
"We do not see it as hunting dolphins, but more preferably as harvesting dolphins from the wild.
"Basically because the meat and teeth of dolphins are of great importance to our people of Malaita," the prime minister said.
Prime Minister Lilo then explained the importance of dolphin teeth in Malaita custom.
Mr Lilo was also asked if the practice can be stopped or control, especially with activists and researchers reports of the decreasing number of dolphins in the Solomon Island waters.
"The practice is not a day to day thing, it is done seasonally. Our people harvest only within the seasons that are right for hunting dolphins."
Mr Lilo also reaffirmed that the government is not against the people hunting or harvesting dolphins but is against the trafficking and export of live dolphins overseas.Solomon Star

A Greeley school board member defended himself Wednesday against accusations he touched a teacher in a "sexually suggestive nature" and showed up to a school board meeting "under the influence" of alcohol.
Thursday morning, the school board voted to publicly censure him.
Greeley-Evans Weld County District 6 board member Brett Reese is at the center of a school district investigation regarding the accusations, and several meetings have been called to address the issue.
The school board called another meeting Thursday with an agenda item on whether to publicly censure Reese. They agreed Thursday morning to do so.
The board has no authority to remove Reese from the school board, unless he misses three consecutive meetings, according to a district spokesman.

The Lodge at Chaa Creek was given another nod from USA Today by topping the popular publication's recent list of Belize Rainforest Luxury Vacations. Chaa Creek was previously singled out by USA Today in February as being one of the world's top family vacation spots for Spring break.
The current USA Today article recommends staying in selected Belizean rainforest resorts as a way, "to be close to nature without sacrificing the creature comforts of luxurious accommodation".
At the top of the list of five selected resorts is Chaa Creek, which is noted for having a "gourmet restaurant, jungle bar and swimming pool". The author, Louise Carr, also points out that the "Chaa Creek spa uses natural ingredients in its treatments, which take place with the rainforest in the background."
Chaa Creek Spa manager Bryony Fleming said she is delighted to see Chaa Creek's combination of sustainable practices and quiet luxury recognised.
"For years we've been working out ways to provide luxury and comfort while remaining true to our commitment to the environment and sustainable travel," she said. "It took a lot of care and attention to detail to reach this level of quality without compromising our Green ideals, but I think we've shown that it can be done, and we're grateful that respected newspapers such as USA Today recognise this.
"It really is a great acknowledgement, not just for Chaa Creek, but for responsible, sustainable travel in general", she said.
The USA Today piece recommends Chaa Creek for providing, "a luxury Belize vacation set alongside the banks of the Macal River outside San Ignacio. The lodge is surrounded by a 365-acre rainforest reserve bordered by the foothills of the Maya Mountains. Chaa Creek has 23 palm-thatched cottages, including an Orchard and Spa Villa and a Tree Top Suite, all with a Jacuzzi," and goes on to mention other attributes and activities.
Since 1981 Chaa Creek has been Belize's most consistently recognised and awarded eco-resort, with accolades from industry leaders such as Conde Nast, National Geographic Adventure, Travel and Leisure magazines, the Zagat Survey and was rated by as the "Best Eco Resort in the Caribbean" for four years running by a Caribbean Travel & Life Readers' Poll.
"It just proves that being responsible to the environment doesn't mean you need to sacrifice comfort or luxury," Ms Fleming said.

It does seem quite the coincidence that when they get all big and brave and ask them to "please move something", it happens.Forum: The Shadow PeoplePosted:2/27/2009 1:38:15 PMWhat IS exactly a shadow person? Please inform the unenlightened. :-)Forum: HellPosted:2/27/2009 1:34:41 PMYou make your own hell here on earth.Forum: Aquarius (20 January - 18 February)Posted:2/27/2009 1:32:31 PMHello!
