Serving a City in Need
Contact: Finnegan, Lisa
212 636-7175
NEW YORK � As the city continues to deal with the devastation resulting from the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, we find hope in the stories we hear from Fordham family members who continue to lend their service to others in this time of need. "Fordham University has been for 160 years a New York City institution, and I am proud of the way our faculty, students and staff have responded � to the worst disaster in our city�s history," said the Rev. Joseph A. O�Hare, S.J., University president. Shortly after learning about the collapse of the World Trade Center, John Cosgrove, Ph.D., an associate dean of the Graduate School of Social Service (GSS) and a trained Red Cross disaster mental health volunteer, recruited several colleagues and called the agency to offer assistance. The social work professors were sent to counsel anyone affected directly or indirectly by the disaster. "The Red Cross approach is that you don�t force anything on anyone, but you listen carefully, try to help people understand and process what they have seen and have been through and assure them their feelings are normal," said Cosgrove. "We were out there the first day because the sooner people talk, the better it is for them." Cosgrove said it is important in times of crisis to look for signs of distress that are extreme, such as people who are visibly upset or dazed. "You tell people that when they get home they might experience, among other things, sleeplessness, headaches, a loss of appetite and that these are normal symptoms," he said. "But you also tell them that if it persists, they should get some help." Similarly, Michael Phillips, D.S.W., an associate dean, spent countless hours at the Staten Island ferry terminal and at the site of the World Trade Center, listening to firefighters and police officers at the scene. "People need a chance to tell their stories," he said. "They need a chance to reflect on it and to get it out. I spent a lot of time, for example, with one of the first police officers on the scene. He talked about his feelings about not being able to save more people, and the fact that he felt he hadn�t done enough to help." In the case of this officer and others like him, Phillips said he listened and pointed out that there was great value in what the officer had done. "People working in the rubble had so much hope that they would find someone alive," Phillips said. "I was there to listen to their anguish, their frustration at not finding more people alive and their anger. I just tried to give people a chance to share their experiences so it was not as much of a burden." Beatrice Plasse, D.S.W., witnessed the attack on the World Trade Center from her apartment near City Hall and was unable to return to her home for days. Despite this, she spent time at Bellevue Hospital, counseling family members who were looking for loved ones. "I tried to make sure they had a support network and that they took care of themselves � that they slept, ate, drank and rested," she said. "I didn�t counsel, but listened carefully for signs that there were problems outside of what could be expected." Employees of companies with offices near the World Trade Center who witnessed the devastating attack and its aftermath received group counseling from social work and psychology professors who volunteered through the Employee Assistance Program. "We did basically stress management with these people and talked about what they had seen and their fears," said Robert Chazin, D.S.W. "In this case it was better for them to talk as a group because they experienced the trauma as a group and they all understood what the others were feeling." Professors Lisa Colarossi, Ph.D., Dana Holman, D.S.W., Ray Fox, D.S.W., Meredith Hanson, D.S.W., Sandra Turner, Ph.D., and Chaya Piotrkowski, Ph.D., have all volunteered to do counseling, and they continue to provide social services to those suffering in the aftermath of this tragedy. Psychology professor David Chabot, Ph.D., also assisted employees who witnessed the attack and were having trouble coping with what they saw. Psychology Professor Anie Kalayjian, Ph.D., was at the United Nations to deliver a lecture on human rights when the World Trade Center was hit. That evening she returned to Fordham and put together a symposium for mental health professionals on addressing the immediate crisis and its aftermath. She has since held three training sessions attended by dozens of therapists. She has also fielded calls from around the world, including from Pakistan and England. "Trauma is a specific area of expertise and training within the science of psychology and a lot of mental health professionals are not experts in this area," she said. "It�s very important to train them so they can effectively help people. It�s also important that they understand their own limitations." Jeffrey Dyke, Ph.D., director of Counseling Services, held workshops to guide faculty members as they respond to students who are having trouble dealing with the tragedy. Several of Fordham�s students spent time serving food and providing water to firefighters and emergency service personnel downtown; others delivered much-needed supplies to the Salvation Army and designated drop-off centers. And several University offices have sponsored clothing drives. "It was wonderful to see how all of New York and the country pulled together," said Elizabeth Rodriguez, a second-year Fordham Law student who volunteered at the Salvation Army and was sent to Bellevue Hospital to hand out food and water on Sept. 11. "Everyone was so appreciative that we were there. On Wednesday I was at the Armory, where as many as 2,000 people went to fill out forms to identify family members and find solace together." The Rev. Joseph A. Currie, S.J., director of Campus Ministry at Fordham, was also called upon to offer solace to a wife who lost her husband in the attack. The Port Authority Police, which had offices in the World Trade Center, called Father Currie and asked him to accompany them when they notified the woman that her husband, a police officer, did not make it out of the World Trade Center. Additionally, the University has offered space to companies that were displaced when the towers fell. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Campaign Finance Board have both taken advantage of the offer. "We are all looking for ways to help in a practical manner," said Law School Dean John Feerick at a town hall meeting with students. "We are assessing where needs aren�t currently being met and areas in which our school can be of assistance." The school has already held a few fund-raisers for the families of fallen firefighters and police officers. John Hollwitz, academic vice president, said the University will continue to assist the city in any manner possible and will strive to meet future needs as they arise. "Historically, Jesuit universities have very close relationships with the cities of which they are a part. This is especially true of Fordham, which has grown with New York City for 160 years," he said. "Many on the faculty have responded by offering assistance in the efforts to help individuals, the City and the nation. I am certain that this help will continue in the weeks and months to come." Founded in 1841, Fordham is New York City�s Jesuit university. It has residential campuses in the north Bronx, Manhattan and Tarrytown, and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.

Sandberg's return to Wrigley a chance to 'reflect'
Ryne Sandberg's first major-league hit came in 1981 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. (USA Today Images)
NEW YORK -- When Ryne Sandberg shows up at the ballpark for work on Friday afternoon, it's sure to be a little more emotional than most trips to the office. Then again, there aren't very many managers who have their numbers hanging on a flagpole at Wrigley Field.
For 17 seasons, Sandberg was Mr. Cub. He was No. 23 in Chicago before Michael Jordan showed up and one of the most popular baseball players ever to suit up for the Cubs. He went to the All-Star Game 10 times, won a Gold Glove nine times and was the NL MVP in 1984.
Better yet, Sandberg led the Cubs to their first postseason appearance in 39 years in 1984 and helped get them back to the playoffs in 1989.
Indeed, the weekend series at Wrigley will be extraordinary.
At least for a little while.
"I guess the first thing is I'll probably check out my flag out there on the right-field pole. I'm sure all the memories of all the games will [come back] and that I'll reflect on that," Sandberg said before Wednesday's game against the Mets at Citi Field. "And then I'll put myself in that spot over there in the visitors' dugout, and once the game starts it will be business and I'll feel good about it."
Maybe Sandberg will wonder about what might have been during the weekend back at Wrigley, too. After all, it was with the Cubs that Sandberg got back into the game as a minor-league manager in 2007.
But it also was with the Cubs that Sandberg realized he wasn't going to get back to the big leagues as a coach or manager.
"My goal was to get back to the major leagues. I don't think… there is no guarantee to have a chance to manage in the major leagues," Sandberg said, "with the number of teams that's out there. My goal was to get back to the major leagues at some capacity.
"That's what I wanted to do, I wanted to play during a championship season, have a chance to get back to the postseason at the major-league level, and have the chance to win a World Series at the major-league level, which I didn't have a chance to do. I had two postseasons with the Cubs but never a World Series appearance. Those were all goals to do at the major-league level at some capacity."
The Cubs twice had a chance to hire Sandberg as a coach or manager but went with Mike Quade for the 2011 season and Dale Sveum in 2012. Seeing that he wasn't going to get a chance with the Cubs, Sandberg took an offer to be the Triple A manager for the Phillies. Two years later, he made it back to the big leagues first as a third-base coach for Charlie Manuel and then as the interim manager.
In that sense, Sandberg has come full circle. He was drafted by the Phillies, climbed up the ladder in the Phillies' minor-league system and made his playing debut for the Phillies in 1981. Coincidentally, Sandberg's first big-league hit came with the Phillies against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
"In 1981 as a Phillie, I got my first hit there. My first major-league hit was at Wrigley Field," Sandberg said. "I started the second game of a doubleheader in 1981 and played shortstop and had a couple of plays out there and I got my first hit off of Mike Krukow.
"When I found out I was starting, I knew that my bats hadn't arrived yet from my order so I didn't have any bats. I was using a Marty Bystrom bat in batting practice and choking up on it a little bit. It was a big, ol' bat to bunt with -- a pitcher's bat -- so I was choking up and taking BP with that.
"I asked Larry Bowa if he had any extra bats I could use in the game so he loaned me a bat and I got my first hit with a Larry Bowa bat. Even today I still have the bat and the ball. It was a flair to right field slightly off the end of the bat and the Rawlings writing on the ball came off on the bat. So I have the ball and the bat and there's no writing on the ball. It's all on the bat.
"It was like a bottle bat with no knob. It was totally not my bat. But it was a bat."
Not only did Sandberg use Bowa's bat, but also he played Bowa's position. Coming up through the Phillies' system, Sandberg was primarily a shortstop. There was a thought of moving him to third base, but that was Mike Schmidt's spot. Manny Trillo was set at second base, so Sandberg was blocked there, too.
It wasn't until he was traded to the Cubs (along with Bowa) for Ivan DeJesus that Sandberg got a chance to play every day.
Still, on that first day at Wrigley, Sandberg used Bowa's bat and played his position.
"I guess I was no threat to take his job. I guess that's the way he looked at it -- 'What else can I do for the guy?'" Sandberg said. "Then we both go to Chicago, he takes me under his wing and teaches me everything about the game. Having lunch with him every day pregame, talking about the pitcher that day, talking about at-bats the day before, for the four years that I was with him really learned a lot about the game.
"Just being with him and spending the time after the game having a beer and going to pregame lunch talking about the game. How to play catch right. Working hand in hand pregame at shortstop, double play combinations, all that. That went a long way."
When Sandberg gets back to Wrigley this weekend, he might be watching a game from the visitors' dugout for the first time since 1981. He barely remembers stepping into the tiny, dungeon-like clubhouse on the visitors' side because as a September call up, the clubhouse was too small for the entire team to use. The rookies like Sandberg were forced to use a storage room in the labyrinth of tunnels in the ballpark.
But it was unforgettable and not just because Sandberg got his first hit and had to dress in a storage closet. Those were the days before Wrigley Field had lights and with 81 home games all played in the afternoon, the Cubs didn't draw too many fans. Sandberg said there were only a few thousands fans in the park when he got his first hit, which wasn't the way he thought it was going to be in the big leagues.
When Sandberg was traded to the Cubs before the 1982 season, he wondered if anyone would see him play.
"Being on the field with Mike Schmidt and Pete Rose, Manny Trillo, basically an All-Star team, an all-star at every position. Steve Carlton on the bench. Tug McGraw. I was in awe," Sandberg said. "I was 21 in Triple A, so just being in awe of all of that, having a start. And it was funny at the time, it was late September and the Cubs were out of it.
"The Phils had already clinched the first half of the season [in the strike-shortened year] and now they're playing to be prepared for the postseason. So, I bet there were 10 to 12 thousand people there. The ballpark, of course, was small. I said, 'Wow, this is a major-league ballpark.' And that was also my first thought when I was traded over there, 'Oh, you gotta be kidding me, not there, there's 10,000 people there.' Which all changed pretty much in '84."
It will be different again in 2013 when the Hall of Famer returns to Chicago as the manager of another team.

THIS IS NOT EDIBLE. Chamomile's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties make it soothing for irritated skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and enriching for dry, itchy or sensitive skins. Normally people add only a small tablespoon-sized splash of bath milk to the tub, which I've always thought is a ridiculously small amount compared to the hundreds of liters of water in the average bath. At such microscopically low concentrations, it is extremely implausible that any of the active chemicals could have any effect whatsoever. The great thing about this sunflower oil-based milk, however, is that it's light and non-greasy and also has the benefit of being very cheap, so you can really go crazy and splash in as much as you want for an effective, luxurious and skin-soothing soak. For the coconut cream, buy either tins or blocks of creamed coconut and follow the instructions to make it up into liquid form.
Mix the oil and chamomile flowers together in a glass heatproof bowl. Cover and place the bowl above a pan of simmering water. Simmer gently away for 1 hour, being careful the pan does not boil dry (make sure there is no gap between the pan and bowl), then leave to cool.
Once cool, strain the oil and discard the spent flowers. Stir in the lavender essential oil. The resultant chamomile and lavender-scented oil also makes a brilliant soothing skin and massage oil that will keep for up to 1 year.
To transform the floral oil into a dispersing bath milk: whisk the oil 1 tablespoon at a time into the coconut cream, making sure the mixture is thoroughly combined between additions of oil. You should end up with a rich milk, about the consistency of double cream. All you've got to do then is bottle it up.
Pour 100 to 200 milliliters of the milk into the bath. Can be used for adults and children aged 2 to 16.
Keep refrigerated, and use within 1 month.

Community First
At FairPoint, we are passionate about improving the quality of life where we live and work. FairPoint Communications supports our communities by fostering economic development; expanding technology initiatives; supporting health and wellness programs; and investing in youth education initiatives.
We are pleased to partner with our communities, customers and employees in strengthening the bonds that build our neighborhoods and enrich our lives.
In reviewing proposals, we look for projects that:
We do not generally make grants for endowments, operating expenses (with the exception of a one-time initial planning expense), religious purposes, labor and fraternal groups, debt reduction or work that has already been completed. Additionally, we do not make grants to individuals, daycare facilities or school trips. Finally, we do not make grants to organizations that discriminate in any way on the basis of race, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.
Requests for support should be appropriate to the project, reflect realistic expectations and show diverse funding sources. Our grants vary in size, but the majority of the grants awarded are less than $5,000. We may only fund a percentage of a total amount requested. A grant request foring $5,000 may be funded at the $3,000 level. It helps if you can suggest a second choice for your funding amount.
FairPoint is well-known for its philanthropic efforts and we receive many requests every day. It's important that you apply as early as possible to ensure your request can be reviewed and approved in time to meet your needs. This lead time also allows us to create any materials required to support or promote an activity. We can also notify our employees so they may choose to participate if they desire. We make very few exceptions to this process due to the volume of requests and available resources.
Requests for $1,000 or more are reviewed quarterly. You will be notified about your request at the end of each quarter (March, June, September or December).
We review requests for less than $1,000 every six weeks. We will notify you of the status of your request at the end of the six-week period during which it was submitted.
If you haven't heard from us, please check to make sure the appropriate review time has elapsed before contacting us.
You may apply at any time. However, we encourage organizations to prioritize their requests to ensure that FairPoint can plan to support those proposals that are most important to the organization.
Great news! Our new online application is now available. we will no longer accept paper applications.Submit a Request

They believe that the Euro is struggling for direction like most other currencies heading into year end, with EUR/USD still consolidating between 1.27-33. They don´t anticipate that the current trading range will be broken in the week ahead and the Euro is likely to trade on weaker footing following the dovish outlook presented by the ECB at today´s policy meeting where staff projections for both growth and inflation were revised lower.
They team note that Draghi left the door open for further monetary easing with the mid-point for inflation in 2014 set below target at 1.4%. However, USD is also likely to be undermined in the week ahead when the Fed presents its latest economic projections which are likely to support the Fed´s decision to maintain low rates until mid-2015. They also feel that it is likely that the Fed will announce that when Operation Twist expires at the end of the year, it will continue to purchase USD 45bln per month of long term USTs, resulting in the Fed´s balance sheet expanding by USD85 bln per month by the start of 2013, rather than the current level of USD 40bln.

Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, a prominent 16-term Democrat, announced he will not seek reelection.
This move closes a career of more than three decades capped by passage last year of legislation imposing new regulations on Wall Street.
Frank served on the House Financial Services Committee and co-authored the Dodd-Frank Regulatory Reform bill, meant to reign in Wall Street excesses in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse.
He was formally reprimanded by the House in 1990 for allegations relating to his association with a male prostitute.
Frank announced his retirement in a news conference Monday afternoon.

Ron Paul touts endorsement by pastor who wants you dead. Literally.
Timothy Kincaid
December 28th, 2011
Ron Paul is touting the endorsement of "Eminent Pastor Rev. Phil Kayser, Ph.D.". Kayser is the pastor of Dominion Covenant Church in Omaha, Nebraska and, as might be deduced from the church's name, Kayser is a dominionist. But as Dr. Warren Throckmorton reports, Kayser is extremist even for dominionists. The eminent pastor reverend doctor Phil Kayser wants to rule the world.
Our church will not rest or be satisfied (Is. 62:6-7) until all human authority submits to Christ (Matt. 28:18), all nations are discipled (Matt. 28:19), all Scripture is followed (Matt. 28:20a) and all of Christ's presence and resources are claimed (Matt. 28:20b). Anything less than an expectation of total victory for King Jesus in history (1 Cor. 15:24-28) does not do justice to the all encompassing mandate of the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20).
Oh, and by "all Scripture is followed", the eminent pastor reverend doctor veers from the usual and customary Christian teaching. The eminent pastor reverend doctor means the following:
But notice how Paul ties this in with his overarching theme of natural knowledge. It is not just the sinfulness of homosexuality that is known, but also the justice of the death penalty for homosexuality. In verse 32 Paul says, "Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." The reason men have an innate sense of justice is because God's law reflects not only His holiness but also His justice and goodness (Romans 7:12). Romans 13 says that magistrates are subject to all three. They must know what is sin and what is good, and they must apply justice in condemning the one and protecting the other. All of that, Romans 1-2 says is in man's heart.
Now, I personally don't believe that executing gays is intuitive or natural or written right there in man's heart. So I personally don't find this to be an endorsement that compels me to support Ron Paul. But if you are a big supporter or the eminent pastor reverend doctor Phil Kayser, then you will probably also find that supporting Ron Paul is written in your heart. With a sharpie.
UPDATE: It seems that someone in Ron Paul's campaign finally noticed what it was that Phil Kayser actually believes and teaches. The campaign website no longer proudly announced Kayser's endorsement.

Programs geared toward providing care for those who are experiencing long-term emotional or mental distress are staffed by human services professionals. Some work with relatively healthy people who need a minimum of care. Others work with more serious cases such as abused or neglected children, the mentally handicapped and the mentally ill. A bachelor's degree in human services prepares you for professional-level jobs in this field, but an advanced degree could be necessary if you want to attain management or policy-making positions.
Click on the "request info" button next to the school of your choice to receive more information about specific bachelor's programs in human services.
Employment for human services workers should increase by about 22% through 2022 according to estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is a much faster-than-average pace when compared to all occupations.
Those who work in human services are dedicated to helping the less fortunate in society, including abused and neglected children, the homeless, the poor and veterans having difficulty transitioning to civilian life. They typically design, implement and oversee programs that help alleviate the issues suffered by people within those groups.
Human service workers include direct-service and and clinical social workers. The former helps find those in need and work with them to make improvements to their lives. Clinical social workers diagnose and treat those with mental, behavorial and emotional disorders, providing both individual and family therapy sessions as well as developing an overall treatment plan with other medical professionals, such as doctors and healthcare specialists.
Psychologists study the mental functions and behavior of human beings. They apply scientific methods to better understand different aspects of the mind, including cognition, emotion, perception, personality, socialization and much more. A BS in Psychology qualifies you for entry-level positions in the field.

This morning, eager Nintendo fans camped in front of their computers to await new news from Nintendo via Nintendo Direct. Some shockers like Earthbound finally showing up in North America via Wii U Virtual Console, a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, and some silence on the Wii U front.
Following up Nintendo's previous announcement about the Wii U Virtual Console, it came to us as a surprise that Earthbound will finally be brought to North America. While we're unsure if anything in the game has changed, it's been believed that the numerous renditions and influences from copyrighted music has held this game back from release. While no release date has been pinned down, it will be released sometime in 2013. This also opens an outlet for those that really want to see the Mother series represented here in North America.
Pikmin 3 has an announced release date of August 4th. The Spring Update for the Wii U's OS will also be out sometime next week. New Super Luigi U, DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U, will have you taking control of Luigi using Luigi's special physics that he is trademarked for in other titles.
That's… about it on the Wii U front. A bit troubling, but maybe they're holding their punches for E3 2013.
However, 3DS owners have many things to be cheerful about!
New game announcements ahoy!
Yoshi's Island will be the third installment of the Yoshi's Island series and will be arriving on the 3DS.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D will feature a "New Mode" which will make it easier for those that found the original Wii version a little rough, this will be coming out May 24th.
Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Movie is an eShop exclusive that seems to mix Mario and Donkey Kong with the old classic Pipe Dream game. This will be in the eShop on May 9th
Animal Crossing: New Leaf will be out on June 9th, Nintendo will also be releasing the 3DS XL bundle for a suggested retail price of $219.99, Animal Crossing included in the SD card.
A new Mario Party game will be coming out in Winter.
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is due 2014.
Shin Megami Tensei 4 will be out July 16th from ATLUS, a Limited Edition Box Set will be included for the first initial shipment of the game.
The original Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, two Legend of Zelda games on the Game Boy Color, will make their way to the 3DS Virtual Console. The pair will be released on May 30th.
Bravely Default, a Square Enix RPG that has done well in Japan, will be published here by Nintendo. Unfortunately, the release window is sometime in 2014.
And finally a new game in The Legend of Zelda series taking place in the "A Link to the Past" part of the convoluted timeline has been announced for a Holiday season release. This new game will use a traditional overhead view while using 3D polygons for the world. Making use of the 3D of the 3DS, depth perception by height seems to be the game's highlight. Link will also be able to change into a drawing on a wall and not only be able to move around but will be able to see things from a different perspective to solve puzzles. While fans are calling it "Link to the Past 2″, there seems to be some conflicting news about this, but we do know that this is not just a remake. This post will update once official details have been sorted out. Until then, Nintendo did say that they will be releasing trailers and videos on the 3DS in 3D, so it's recommended to check out this new Zelda game on your 3DS to get the full effect.

Hi all,
I just purchased an older*(early 90s) Bianchi road bike, and I*want to replace the*drop handlebars with a set of café handlebars for comfort reasons. I would like to leave the brake levers and cables attached to the handlebars. Any tips or hints as I undertake this job? Things I need to watch out for when buying the components?
Thanks in advance,

COLESVILLE, Md. — The technology hasn't changed much since the last streetcar ran through the District of Columbia in 1962, as the next edition of rail travel along the H Street Corridor in Northeast nears.
Looking at the streetcars that carried Washington commuters between 1862 and 1962, Ken Rucker, director of the National Capital Trolley Museum, says technology changes were incremental.
"The basics of 600-volt direct current motors propelling the vehicles remain true through the entire trolley era," says Rucker.
He says some technology changes were driven by necessity.
For example, an 1899 snow-sweeping vehicle that ran between Northeast D.C. and Laurel, Md., left the operator's position exposed to the elements.
As large brooms rotated under the car, "The snow that was blown off the track blew back into his face," says Rucker.
Soon after, cars were designed to enclose the operator.
At the time, the D.C. Public Utilities Commission decided it was unsafe for a conductor to walk from car to car collecting fares. Reluctant to hire more staff, Rucker says the streetcar companies had larger cars built.
While many rode streetcars to and from work, Rucker says early vehicles were difficult for women in dresses to navigate, with high steps to climb on-board and wood-slat floors were prone to catching and breaking a shoe's heel.
Shorter steps and linoleum floors were the fix.
In years past, a ban on overhead wires meant streetcars in the District got power from an underground conduit.
In the new streetcars, the D.C. Council passed legislation to allow the overhead wires along Benning Road and H Street, but banned wires near the Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue, between Capitol Hill and the White House.
Streetcar tracks are in place in the H Street corridor, but it's still not clear when people will be able to ride the rails.

Are UAE banks broke?
Despite government bailouts, tight liquidity persists throughout the Emirates.
May 7, 2010 10:18 by Emily Meredith
Though certain loans have yet to be classified as non-performing, many are not being repaid. The sensational stories of cars left at the airport hide a slightly less exciting issue – if those cars were bought with loans, no one is making repayments.
If the banks are as highly leveraged as their customers and people stop making loan payments, the institutions become cash constrained. In what could to be an effort to force banks into transparency, the central bank does not appear to be making any more loans just yet, even though liquidity remains tight. And the banks that are publicly traded have another consideration: fearful shareholders who have already lost confidence in the local market may be further deterred by more losses.
Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai based banks had significant exposure to Dubai World. The IMF estimates that half of Dubai World's interests lay in Nakheel and Limitless World, which focused on overseas real estate investment. When global demand for real estate fell off in 2008, cash stopped going into the highly leveraged companies.
The IMF says that UAE domestic credit growth from 2004 to 2008 was some of the fastest in emerging markets. But over the same period, liabilities owed to foreign banks doubled as a ratio of GDP.
Dubai World played a major role in the economic health of the emirate's economy. As part of the "Dubai, Inc." network of commercial companies and investments either owned by or associated with the Dubai ruling family or the government, it received considerable support. The heavy investment in the oversaturated local real estate market, often through debt financing, put the companies in a precarious position. Dubai World largely used short-term debt to finance the mega-projects. When it announced the standstill on loan repayment in November, it effectively froze the local economy. In the boom, some banks had loan-to-deposit ratios over 100 percent, meaning that banks were overstretched – they'd lent out more cash than they had in assets.
The central bank gets its funds from the other emirates, including cash-rich Abu Dhabi. Any requirements on the parts of the banks can still be met by the central Bank's current reserves. Money from Abu Dhabi came to Dubai's rescue when the central bank fully subscribed to $20 billion bond from the government of Dubai.
The S&P report predicts a slowdown in retail lending (citing expatriate layoffs in the real estate and financial services industries, and that non-performing loan ratios should peak by midyear 2010. The country remains wealthy though, and a recent report from Booz & Co. says that resource rich Gulf countries will recover faster than the rest of the world.

As I see it, there are two problems that the UAE is going to have to primarily handle. I would like to clarify at the outset that I am no financial whiz nor indeed any kind of economic analyst, and would not dare to presume such a position. However, as a lay person who has been a resident of this country over the last 15 years on and off, I have to say that transparency of the country's financial institutions has become its biggest Achilles heel when it comes to attracting long-term foreign investment, and detracting long-term debtors from bolting into the blue, causing millions of dirhams to disappear, which could in any country with legitimate and transparent financial rules have been retrieved through bankruptcy procedures.
Most international investors with very systemic procedures would hesitate before investing in such a country, let us be realistic in examining our flaws here. It is also a bit of a catch 22 trying to be transparent in the UAE, where the tradition of declaring things upfront has never really been valued. One must certainly not live in the delusion that there is no wealth in the UAE, or that the country as a whole is facing a liquidity crisis, that would be too premature. Abu Dhabi is considered to be one of the wealthiest cities in the Arab world, with hitherto undisclosed reserves of wealth, which if push came to shove, it could certainly help Dubai out with. Dubai for its part would need to overhaul its banking, insurance and financial systems and procedures, so that it is not just a question of showing transparency and convincing the world at large, but making it credible enough for residents, citizens and any average man-on-the-street to know that his money is saving. This in times of recession, when the Emirate is exposed to international markets that are reeling under a fresh wave of shake-ups is going to be the biggest challenge. The international media has not given Dubai an easy time of it either, trying to knock it down in its beleagured state, and deliver the final blow….Dubai has recovered much better than expected, however much needs to be done to bring back the vibrancy that existed. Time perhaps to take stock and re-evaluate.
Delaying paying contractors and/or consultants by government or semi government entities has been endemic in this area for as long as I have been there (35 plus years). Often on the flimthiest of excuses.
Now of course we have the mother of all excuses: the world economic situation.
What is conveniently ignored is that many of these mega projects should never have been awarded in the first place because their finance to enable completion was not properly arranged.
That being said, I sincerely hope all will be sorted out somehow and soon because it is still a great place.
If I was a bank, I'd be very wary about loaning anyone any money right now, whether it's a big company or an individual. So many projects in Dubai were built on credit and won't be completed any time soon. That had to stop, as does the rampant offering of higher and higher credit limits on cards for personal customers. Encouraging debit card usage instead of harassing customers with irresponsible credit card offers would be a step in the right direction too.

THE EDITOR, Sir:
The first letter I wrote to The Gleaner was published on the eve of this country's Independence. I was a schoolboy and the youngest Sunday school teacher in my church.
Invoking Proverbs 14:34 - "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people ..." - I wrote passionately on the subject. When it was published, I was the hero in Brown's Town for the entire day.
We have, since then, divided ourselves into two warring tribes, preying on the country's resources and blaming each other for the country's failures. The last time I checked, however, every single MP is a relative or friend to the rest of us. We go to the same places for worship, education or recreation. We chose them to represent us. They are what we see when we look in the mirror.
Can we, therefore, claim to be blameless when any type of reckoning reveals that the country should be much further ahead than where it now is?
For many of the developed countries, the road to Independence was painful and bloody. There are those who think that ours came too easily.
Many view the present celebrations with mixed feelings. Some of us are just coming to the realisation that we simply traded perceived oppression for starvation and joblessness for employed poverty.
The truth is that Independence won't change what we are not willing and able to change ourselves.
May I suggest that we all get involved in this task of nation building. All of us. If we do not work at it together, I fear we will be having the same discussions at our centenary. And each of us is not required to do something earth-shattering.
Guilty civil servants, for example, could simply start giving a full day's work. What exists now is wholesale fraud. The boss could cease creating unnecessary jobs for friends. This new thrust is going to involve many people making many sacrifices.
In our quest for genuine nationhood, we must understand that Independence - like getting rid of the Queen - is not a panacea for struggling, underdeveloped countries. It is simply wistful romanticism to lust after Independence without a truly meaningful cause or course to follow.
Our aim should be to become a truly functional society in the world. And all hands are needed.

WASHINGTON — Trade rumors are nothing new for Ryan Smyth, but the Avalanche left winger said he was caught off guard by some that have popped up involving him recently.
Smyth has a no-trade clause, and made it clear today he does not want to leave Colorado anytime soon.
"It's a little mind-boggling, obviously," Smyth said this morning from the Verizon Center, where the Avs play the Washington Capitals tonight. "I've got three years left on my deal, and I really like it here. Obviously we're not doing as well as we should be this year. We've lost a few key players who could really help us, but by no means are we out of this playoff race."
Smyth is making $7.25 million this season, on the second year of a five-year, $31.25 million contract. He is due $16.75 million over the final three years of the deal and has the no-movement clause, which means the Avs would have to get his agreement to be sent anywhere.
"I've been blessed to have that part of my deal, and I haven't heard a thing (from Avs management), so I'm going to leave it at that," Smyth said.
Reports from Canada said the Avs are seeking to possibly deal Smyth before the March 4 NHL trade deadline. Avs management would not comment on the speculation, but at least one management official seemed to dismiss it when the subject was broached.

Hop pellets are leaf hops that have been ground through a hammer mill and pressed through a pellet die. No additives are needed; natural resins found in the hop cones hold the shape. Hops impart the necessary bitterness required to balance the sweetness of the malt. They provide the spice flavor in beer and the aroma which prepares the taste buds via the nose. While color is the most obvious beer style characteristic; bitterness, flavor and aroma, provide the primary distinction between beer styles. There is a large selection of hop varieties to choose from. Most are available in whole, pellet and leaf forms. Pellets are preferred by most brewers because they are the most predictable.
Brewing beer is an American Tradition.

Make your own Fourth of July Confetti Popper Rockets!
Fourth of July Confetti Popper Rockets
By Brenda Ponnay
Who says you can't have fireworks in the house? With these confetti popper rockets you can blow things up inside without ever catching anything on fire! Explosive, yet completely safe and super fun for kids: That's how I like to celebrate my independence. Get your vacuum cleaners ready cause we're gonna blow this craft up!
I know paper rockets have been made before but this rocket has a trap door in the bottom. When you pull the string, that dangles there ever-so enticingly at kid height, a small compartment opens up and a tiny bucket full of confetti will land on said kid's head. It's great. We tried it and my kid definitely gives this craft a thumbs up.
This craft is fun for many ages. My kid liked it because she got to decorate the rocket and what's not to love about confetti raining down on your head but I think older kids would really enjoy the engineering part of this project. You can get creative with it and maybe have a contest to see who can build the best rocket. Some explode spectacularly, some are a bit of a dud. There are lots of ways you can make these. They also make great decorations for a party!
Here's how you make it:
First you will need to gather your supplies.
- Paper towel or toilet paper tubes cut to rocket-like lengths
- colored paper (we chose patriotic colors and used everything from origami paper to scrapbook paper), make sure you have at least one sheet of something stiffer, like card stock too
- tissue paper (we used red)stickers and marker pens (feel free to get crazy here) to decorate with
- confetti (homemade or store-bought
- bakers twine or string
- tape
- glue (any kind that works on paper will do)
- beads (these will not show so it doesn't matter what they look like)
- ribbons for streamers
Tools you will need:
- a stapler
- scissors
- a craft or needlework needle
- fun craft punches for confetti (if you make your own)
- hole puncher
Now to build it! First you will build the "propulsion system." Of course this rocket isn't really going to take off and fly around the room but the confetti is housed where a normal propulsion system would be so we call it that.
Cut yourself a small square of tissue paper that will be big enough to cover the bottom of your cardboard tube–about three inches across. Cut a small disc out of a sheet of card stock that will fit just within the radius of the cardboard tube. With some glue attach this disc to the center of your tissue paper. Let it dry for a few minutes. Thread about an arm's length of twine onto your craft needle and tie a bead to the end for a not. With this, puncture the center of your disc that is attached to the tissue paper. This is the trap door.
Next you will need to glue this tissue paper trap door to your cardboard tube with a small line of glue around the bottom of the tube. Make sure you attach it with the bead side inside the tube and the string (or fuse) side hanging outside of your tube. You can add a pull tab to your long dangling fuse or just let it hang. We added stars to some of ours. Let this dry and you're done with that part! Now onto decorating!
There are lots of ways you can decorate your rocket but the most important part is to cover the tube with some decorative paper so that you don't see that it used to be a toilet paper roll (or paper towel tube). This decorative sheet (roughly 6.5×4.25 inches big, depending on your tube) also holds your tissue paper trap door on, or at least covers the ruffles of tissue where it is glued to the tube. We attached ribbons to the bottom inside of our decorative covering so that the rockets looked like they were flying–or just pretty and festive.
Roll your paper around the tube and staple at the top for strength. You can't staple the bottom because your tissue paper trap door keeps the stapler from getting inside but I found that a couple of pieces of tape did the trick.
Now you can fill your tube with confetti. We just put in a few handfuls but feel free to load this sucker up. Just think about how much confetti you want to clean up later and act accordingly. I say the more the better but then I'm a bit of a free spirit who doesn't mind a little mess for the sake of some good old fashioned American fun.
Attaching the cone to the top of your rocket can be a bit tedious. It's purely aesthetic so if you opt out of this part that's totally fine. I just really wanted my confetti poppers to really look like old fashioned Fourth of July fire crackers so we made rocket cones.
Here's how you do it:
Cut a circle about 3.25 inches wide across, then cut one snip all the way to the center of the disc like you see above. Take the edges of your cut and pull them together, probably about a half an inch or more. When your cone has reached a desirable height, staple it at the base.
Now for the tricky part: attaching the cone to your rocket. The important thing here is creating a strong holder that you can use to hang your rocket from. Since these rockets will be tugged upon, it's important that the rocket holds together and doesn't come crashing down on your head instead of releasing it's payload of confetti. I found the best way to hang these rockets was to put the weight bearing string through two holes punched in the top of the rocket body. Then I strung the two sides of the string through a center bead (just to keep it centered) and up through the center of the cone so that it came out of the point or top of the cone. The cone itself can't really hold the rocket together so taping it wouldn't work.
An easy way to string the cone is to open up your stapled cut from the inside of your cone and pull your string through the gap. This will take some patience but you can do it!
Here's a super scientific diagram (it's rocket science hee hee!) in case you've gotten confused along the way.
Now you can hang them up and let the festivities begin!
I found that I needed to "prime" some of the rockets to ensure maximum explosiveness. You can do this by simply poking some small holes (or cutting with a sharp blade) around the bottom of the trap door. Just make sure you don't cut it completely out because the ripping sound of that trap door being yanked out is probably the biggest part of the fun.
That and the confetti party you can have afterwards! Woot!
P.S. I wanted to step this craft up a notch by adding those strings that pop with real explosives but I couldn't find any at the time of this writing. If anyone tries this, I'd love to hear how it goes. Of course exercise caution. I don't want anybody really burning down their house!

I realize it's a little late for the wedding you attended Abi, but folks could put bird seed in the rockets for an outdoor July 4th wedding. Bird seed is like confetti but it's safe for animals and birds to eat and will decompose on the ground!!! Another alternative to confetti I've seen is flower petals because they will decompose outside too. I hope this helps someone looking for ideas!

kittykat Jul 03 at 3:27 pm Reply
Great project – Thank you.
I learned however, that doing it with my just turned 3-year old is not fun. Making it for him is better. I also learned that if you pack the confetti too tight it doesn't come out well and a just turned three year-old can become despondent. Perhaps another try next year! (photos to come later on my 'blog')

The West Las Vegas School district has found a potential buyer for the Maloof building.
The Historic Kiva Theater Group has made an offer on the Old Town building, and the school board has agreed to accept it.
In order to move forward, the deal must now be approved by the the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration.
West Superintendent Ruben Cordova said the only criterion to sell real estate belonging to a school district is that the bid be higher than the appraised value.
Soon after moving to Las Vegas in 2007, Bruce McAllister went to City Hall and asked to see the city code book, a compilation of all municipal laws in effect.
He was willing to pay for it, but there was one problem. What he wanted, the city clerk's office apologetically informed him, did not exist.
City ordinances — the legislation passed by City Councils over the years — had not been codified since the early 1970s.
But that has all changed.

Gov. Susana Martinez announced the appointment on Friday.
Shilling has served as acting state police chief since January.
He joined the state police in 1992, after working for the Silver City police department.

A third judge has been named for "So You Think You Can Dance" and it's not Ellen DeGeneres.
Adam Shankman, the choreographer and director ("17 Again," "Hairspray"), who had been one of a revolving cast of judges in the third chair will join the other permanent judges of the show, which just began its sixth season.
Once auditions are over, Shankman will join Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe as permanent judge starting with the Top 20 performance show Oct. 27.
His appointment means no more judging from Mia Michaels, Debbie Allen, Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo, Tyce Diorio, most of whom will continue on as contributing choreographers. Of the guest judges, Shankman distinguished himself as one of the more supportive judges.
"He is a consummate professional with a passion for dance and a discerning eye, which makes him perfect for us," said Lythgoe, who is also an executive producer of the show. "Plus, it must be remembered, it takes a slightly crazy person to work with me and Mary."

By selecting carefully targeted treatments to address acne before it develops, you can regain control over your skin's clarity and appearance. SkinCeuticals Acne Treatments Products work to diminish current acne blemishes and to reduce the likelihood of breakouts in the future. Over time, your skin will appear consistently clearer and less prone to acne breakouts. Some skin types are more likely to develop acne than others, but it is possible to reduce breakouts and to prevent them from happening.
Many people find that acne treatment products can leave their skin dry or can prompt excessive oil production. With SkinCeuticals Blemish and Age Defense Serum, you can achieve clear skin without disrupting your skin's balanced moisture levels. This serum targets acne with various powerful ingredients, including two percent diocic acid and alpha and beta-hydroxy acid formulations. While the serum is designed to prevent the formation of acne, it goes even further to improve the appearance of your skin. SkinCeuticals Blemish and Age Defense Serum works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, leaving skin looking radiant and more youthful. It also targets areas of discolored or hyperpigmented skin, helping to create a more clear and even complexion. By inhibiting excess sebum production and clearing clogged pores, this formula helps to stop acne at its root. It also reduces levels of P. acnes, the bacteria that has been shown to cause acne breakouts.

Support for health workers and ensuring they have proper protective equipment and training is essential, WHO health security chief Keiji Fukuda told reporters.
"This outbreak really underscores the importance of having strong health systems," he said.
Despite the new measures, Fukuda acknowledged "the likelihood is that it will get worse before it gets better," adding that WHO was bracing to deal with the outbreak "at some level for some number of months."
Soldiers in Liberia's Grand Cape Mount province -- one of the worst-affected areas -- set up road blocks to limit travel to the capital Monrovia, as bodies reportedly lay unburied in the city's streets.
In Sierra Leone, which has the most confirmed infections, 800 troops were sent to guard hospitals treating Ebola patients. Two towns in the east of the country were put under quarantine and entertainment venues across the country were ordered shut.
In Nigeria -- where the outbreak has so far been minor compared to the other affected countries, with two dead and five others infected -- public sector doctors suspended a nearly five-week strike to help battle the deadly virus and prevent it from taking hold in Africa's most populous country.
As African nations struggled with the scale of the epidemic, the scientists who discovered the virus in 1976 have called for an experimental drug being used on two infected Americans to also be made available for African victims.
The two infected Americans, who worked for Christian aid agencies in Liberia, have shown signs of improvement since being given ZMapp, which is made by US company Mapp Pharmaceuticals.
Spain also flew home a 75-year-old Roman Catholic priest, Miguel Pajares, the first European victim of the epidemic, on Thursday. Officials said his condition was stable.
"If you have health systems, you have awareness, you are ready for it, this is something that you can stop," he stressed.
First discovered in 1976 and named after a river in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ebola has killed around two-thirds of those infected, with two outbreaks registering fatality rates approaching 90 percent. The latest outbreak has a fatality rate of around 55-60 percent.

Opponents of the ordinance say it was too broad, and would have prevented any kind of waterfront development or upgrades.
Supporters of the tar sands ordinance in South Portland were hopeful early on, but ended up not having much to celebrate as the measure went down to defeat.
Voters in South Portland have rejected a city ordinance designed to block tar sands oil from flowing through Maine pipelines. Opponents of the ordinance say it was too broad, and would have prevented any kind of waterfront development or upgrades.
South Portland holds a potentially powerful position in the tar sands debate because it is the final destination port should the oil ever flow through Maine.
There are no current plans to bring tar sands ot the state - and that was part of the problem with the proposed ordinance, says the president of the Maine Energy Marketers Association, Jamie Py.
"We think it was an extremely dangerous ordinance that would have had dire effects for a lot of people, a lot of families, a lot of businesses, the port iself, as well as for the region because of the energy infrastructure that's here," Py says.
But this win may be fleeting. The South Portland City Council plans to discuss a temporary moratorium on tar sands to buy time to put permanent legal protections in place.

A sheepdog is any type of dog that was developed to guide or herd sheep. Sheepdogs are known for their heavy coat, intelligence, and willingness to please. The most well-known types include the Old English sheepdog, the border collie, and the Shetland sheepdog.
- sheepdog - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
In general, any dog breed that has been developed to tend, drive, or guard sheep is known as a sheepdog. Sheepdogs were first employed around 1570 when they were found to possess more speed and stamina than humans. Sheepdogs picks up nearly imperceptible hand and whistle signals to move flock or retrieve stray sheep. Sheepdogs are known for their heavy coat, jaunty personality, intelligence, and willingness to please. The most recognizable sheepdog is the Old English sheepdog, whose tail was docked in the 18th century as a way of distinguishing it as a drovers' dog and therefore exempt from taxation. The Belgian sheepdog, the Shetland sheepdog, and the border collie are among other types of sheepdogs.

As the world moves into the second decade of the 21st century, a new power rivalry is taking shape between India and China, Asia's two behemoths in terms of territory, population and richness of civilization. India's recent successful launch of a long-range missile able to hit Beijing and Shanghai with nuclear weapons is the latest sign of this development.
