Cast your mind back, if you will, to around fourteen months ago — just prior to the general election in the UK. In April 2010, Arabian Business interviewed the two candidates most likely to become British foreign secretary, Labour's David Miliband and the Conservatives' William Hague. Their answers as to what British expatriates in the Gulf could expect from a new government were very different; Miliband stressed - somewhat irrelevantly - how important that Europe was to British interests, while Hague pointed out that many Gulf countries had "complained to various degrees about a lack of support and cooperation from Britain" and how a Conservative government would strive to put that right.
As we all now know, the Tories were victorious in the May election last year, and Hague is now foreign secretary. But has he held true to his word? Well, in terms of high-level visits to the Gulf, there seems to have been an endlessly revolving door of British officials making their way to the UAE, in particular. Just days after taking up residence in 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister David Cameron made the trip to the UAE as one of his first international visits, meeting President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi HH Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed, as well as Crown Prince HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. In November last year, Queen Elizabeth also journeyed to the country she last visited in 1979 — only six years after the UAE declared independence from the UK.
Behind the glitz and the photographs, the underlying agenda has clearly been one of closer business ties; in the UAE, in particular, there is a feeling that British business interests have lost out to extensive lobbying from other European countries and the US — particularly on the defence side.
Against that backdrop, the UK sent just the latest in a series of ministerial expeditions to the region last week, led by Lord David Howell, who is the minister of charge of Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) activities in the House of Lords, the second chamber of the UK parliament. Howell is in no doubt as to the importance of the Gulf in a world where the economic balance is shifting from west to east.
"We needed to make a vigorous effort to refresh and develop our outside and non-European, non-OECD relations. So that's why you have seen a lot more ministers, and you'll see a lot more in the future," he says. "If you add the GCC up — I'm not saying its unified on everything — but if you add it up it's a very substantial market, with very rapidly rising consumption demands and the British would be crazy not to be here. Indeed we've got to be here for our own prosperity, we've got to market here and we've got to draw capital from here and invest it in our own country where we need tens and hundreds of billions even to refresh our own infrastructure, particularly in the energy sector."
Of Britain's relationship with the UAE, specifically, Howell cites one of the officials he has met during the tour — which included Minister of Foreign Trade Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Minister of Economy Sultan Saeed Al Mansoori, and Mubadala CEO Khaldoon Al Mubarak — as saying that "it's the best it's ever been".
"We're dealing with a very fluid situation in the Middle East, and day-to-day you get different assessments of what's happening in Libya, Syria, Yemen and so on," he says. "We're steering the boat together as we go through these storms. On the political front, a particular concern of UK foreign policy, the UAE is absolutely central to the developments in the region and to the role of the GCC generally."
But the message is very different when it comes to Bahrain, a country with which Britain retains close political and military ties. The Gulf state has been wracked with protest during the course of this year.
"I think, basically, we view a settled Bahrain in the camp of those countries with which we want to be friends," says Howell. "But we can't just condone and tick the box over evidence of direct violence against protesting citizens — that's something that I'm afraid we can't agree to."
In fact, Bahrain is somewhat conspicuously not on the list of five regional countries that Howell's whistle-stop tour is including. Perhaps that's not surprising; at the time of his visit, the Bahraini government was lifting its state of emergency — with tanks and soldiers pulling back from the centre of Manama — and was anticipating further unrest in its wake. "What has gone on is not very attractive," Howell adds, with classic English understatement. "We don't want to see anything more develop in that direction. We have said again and again and again that we want to see dialogue between the Bahraini government and the protestors. And that if there are arguments to be had out, let them be had out, but in a peaceful way."
Howell's assessment of Bahrain runs parallel with what he describes as British "concern" about how the pattern of the Arab Spring has run during the course of this year. In meetings with Saudi officials — including assistant energy minister Prince Abdulaziz and Riyadh governor Prince Salman — Howell admits that the UK doesn't have "exactly the same perspective on everything" but is keen to accentuate the positives.
"We do want to see regimes and patterns of government reform steadily towards greater freedoms," he says. "We do want to see this done in ways that are peaceful and without bloodshed and violence. I'm not saying that there's any disagreement with Saudi Arabia on that — there isn't at all — but there may be certain disagreements on the pace of reform. That's about all — on the whole relations are pretty good, but pace of reform, it's difficult, and our assessments of what's going right and what's going wrong and how regimes should develop is probably slightly different, but not very different."

The integrated design and management capabilities in Flex Systems will help Cyber Network to spend less time on IT maintenance and support and devote these resources to provide lower-cost services for its growing numbers of cloud-based customers.

My client has a website listing different sailing services. These services have different levels of subscription:
- Free
- Premium
- Full
In the back end, I have set up some Custom Fields using Advanced Custom Fields (which work perfectly as normal WP custom fields). The Custom Field for that service is called "subscription_level" and it's a dropdown list with the options mentioned above.
What I'm trying to achieve is to display the posts in the order of the level of subscription and alphabetically. So first, you'd have all the "Full" services sorted by title, then the "Premium" and then the "Free" ones.
---- Full ---
Full Service A
Full Service B
Full Service C
---- Premium ---
Premium Service A
Premium Service B
Premium Service C
---- Free ---
Free Service A
Free Service B
Free Service C
Ideally this should also have pagination, but if that's not possible, it's not the end of the world.
I have tried several custom select queries by looking at the Codex instructions, without luck. My problem is I need two ways of "orderby"? One that divides the posts according to the meta_value of a my custom field "subscription_level" and at the same time one that orders each level of subscription by title... and I just can't seem to find a way of achieving this.
Any ideas pointing me in the right direction would be awesome!
Thanks in advance

POUNDED! Suarez battle turns nasty as Arsenal bid £40m (plus £1) for Liverpool star
Arsenal have risked the wrath of rivals Liverpool by offering just £1 over £40million — triggering a key clause in Luis Suarez's contract.
The clause demands that Liverpool inform Suarez of any offer in excess of £40m and Arsenal's bid will only complicate the talks scheduled for Wednesday in Melbourne between the unsettled striker and his Anfield employers.
Even though Liverpool are not forced to sell the striker for that price it cranked up the pressure on them to deal with a player who has made it plain he wants to quit the club.
Fresh bid: Suarez could yet leave Liverpool before the end of the transfer window
The move also confirmed Arsenal manager
Arsene Wenger's determination to land his No 1 summer target by smashing
the club's transfer record.
The new bid was instantly rejected by Liverpool, who have made it clear
they do not want to sell the striker, and they will have been unhappy
that Arsenal will not take 'no' for an answer having had an earlier
offer of £35m turned down.
It is believed it would take a figure of more than £50m to contemplate a change of heart at Anfield.
What will concern Liverpool even more is that Arsenal chiefs have already agreed in principle personal terms that offer Suarez a five-year deal worth up to £150,000 a week compared with his existing £120,000 a week.
And the north London club are confident that if an agreement with
Liverpool can be reached, everything is in place to ensure the deal can
be concluded quickly.
Liverpool will sit down for more talks with Suarez after Wednesday's
friendly against Melbourne Victory at the MCG and reiterate that they do
not want him to leave.
Talented: Suarez would be an asset for any of Europe's biggest clubs
As it stands, Arsenal believe they have a clear run at Suarez, with Real Madrid yet to solidify their interest.
But the club are well aware that Suarez may favour a move to the Bernabeu and fear once Gonzalo Higuain — also a Gunners target — leaves, Carlo Ancelotti will step up his interest in the Uruguayan.
Arsenal made an official approach for Suarez two weeks ago, when chief executive Ivan Gazidis offered a deal that added up to around £35m. It was emphatically dismissed by Liverpool.
Given that they also made a tentative enquiry when £25m was mentioned, Liverpool told Arsenal then that not even £40m would be enough to secure a player who scored 30 goals last season. Suarez and his agent, Pere Guardiola, also knew this.
The fact that Arsenal, whose record transfer fee is the £16.5m they paid for Santi Cazorla last year, have come back with £1 over £40m has left Liverpool bemused, and strengthened their resolve to hang on to Suarez. Even though he has been a hugely controversial figure, Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's owners, are desperate to keep Suarez at the club.
Busy man: Arsene Wenger has made Suarez his No 1 transfer target
Suarez joined Liverpool's squad on Sunday night after travelling from Montevideo and when he took part in their first training session here in Melbourne, he looked sharp, enthusiastic and glad to be among his team-mates. The same was true around the team hotel.
Yet the Suarez on show at the MCG on Tuesday, where Liverpool trained in front of 15,000 supporters, was different, despite the best efforts of players like Steven Gerrard, who frequently put an arm around his shoulder and tried to gee him up.
He looked unsettled and left the pitch at the end of a 75-minute session with a few cursory waves, deep in conversation with his compatriot Sebastian Coates. Whether he plays any part against Melbourne Victory remains to be seen.
Yet Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho outlined Suarez's importance to the club — and also inadvertently gave an indication of his value — when he said that the former Ajax striker has a talent comparable to Neymar, the Brazil striker who joined Barcelona for £48.6m.
'For sure you can make the comparison,' said Coutinho. 'They are two big names, two great players that move around the ground and score a lot of goals. They have different qualities. Neymar is more about dribbling and organising the attacks, Suarez scores a lot of goals.
Missing link? Arsenal believe Suarez could inspire them to the Premier League title
'You can't compare them directly as players. But Luis is on a par with Neymar in terms of qualities, for sure. They are both exceptional players. We all hope that he stays. Everyone here wants to play with top footballers and that is exactly what Luis is.'
Regardless of where Suarez starts the season, he still has six games to serve of the 10-match suspension he received for biting Branislav Ivanovic on April 21 — and will not be available for selection until the weekend of September 28.
Without him in the team, even greater things will be expected of Coutinho, who scored three goals and created a further five in 13 appearances following his £8m move in January from Inter Milan.
'Luis being missing won't change anything for me,' said Coutinho. 'I
have got to get better and the more opportunities I will get here will
help me. I didn't play well at Inter. I didn't have opportunities and I
didn't have confidence. That is why I didn't do well there. It really
helps now that I have a coach that believes in me.
Talented: Much is expected of Philippe Coutinho (right) at Liverpool
Controversial: Suarez's bite on Branislav Ivanovic meant he received a 10-game ban
'We need to be more consistent this season than we were last year if we want to be in the push for Champions League. That has to be the objective.'
Meanwhile, Arsenal's Lukas Podolski has backed his club's pursuit of Suarez, despite the fact it could lead to him sitting on the bench.
The Germany forward said: 'He is a big player. He's scored a lot of
goals so he's a big striker. I'm happy when players come in. I want to
play with the best players in the world.
Positive: Lukas Podolski would be pleased to see Arsenal sign Suarez
'I'm not scared about big names because it helps the team and it helps me to help the team when we play together.
'The coach has his system and we will see what will happen in the next few weeks. At every big club you have competition, particularly at a club of the size of Arsenal.'

These floor mats not only look better than the factory mats they have a better and deeper pile. No regrets.

They aren't a perfect replacement for the factory provided mats. The color is a bit off, but for a can that has over 100k miles, the mats look great. I'm very satisfied with the quality of material.

Limitless Learning Limited's curator insight, July 31, 2013 10:47 AM
A useful summary of how assessement is used in education to inform and demonstrate learning.
Shea Stehm's curator insight, August 2, 2013 6:41 PM
Testing, especially any sort of standardized testing tends to get a bad rap. Teachers complain that they spend too much time teaching to a test. But assessments do have value, and an important place in our learning structure. By measuring what students are learning, we as teachers can look at how we are approaching different subjects, materials, and even different students.
Dee KC's curator insight, August 6, 2013 8:25 PM
following the DfE's assessing without levels guidance this looks like god place to start when reviewing how you measure progress

This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 897,790, filed Aug. 19, 1986, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 780,000 filed June 21, 1986, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a flooring assembly of rectangular plastic mat elements each shaped as a flat flag member having a top plate portion, a circumferential edge flange depending from an edge of the top plate portion, a circumferential side flange depending from an edge of the top plate portion, and a plurality of floor engaging carrier portions depending from an underside of the top plate portion and with the mat elements being provided with connector means, whereby the mat elements are releasably joinable side to side.
Mat elements or flag members of the aforementioned type can be constructed as robust units, which are nevertheless slightly resilient, whereby the mat elements or flag members, compared with, for example, a concrete floor, are more comfortable to walk and stand on. Additionally, for other reasons, such a flooring is advantageous in many types of floors such as, for example, in workshops, exhibition areas, and many other places. With the use of flag members of a convenient size of, for example, 25�25 cm, it is possible to tailor the flooring in situ according to the requirements of a particular location.
The flooring may be arranged around or in front of working machines or positions, along walkways, on areas tending to become wet and slippery, etc., and the flooring is flexible in the same manner that the arrangement of the flag members can be changed when desired or required.
When the flag members are joined in a releasable manner, any sub-area of the flooring can be disconnected and moved to another place and then be rejoined with the flooring at such other place. Of course, the sub-area itself may be rearranged or divided in connection with the change.
However, it is an associated problem that the flag members should be both safely joinable, such that a sub-assembly of the flooring can be handled as a safely coherent structure, and easily separable anywhere throughout the flooring area, so that the separation and rejoining can be effected easily not only on the flag member by the flange, but even along a straight or broken line between the respective coherent flooring areas each comprising many flag members.
In most of the known proposals preference is given to the easy separability. The connector means are shaped such that one edge of a flag member is lowerable over an edge portion of the neighboring flag member to thereby provide a holding engagement between generally vertically oriented interlocking portions. Hereby the holding engagement can be released anywhere, by local lifting of the desired of the edges flange member, but it will be an associated problem that the general coherence in any assembled sub area of the flooring will be low whenever such an area is not rested firmly against the floor, for example, when it is being moved from one place to another by a rearrangement of the flooring.
According to another known proposal preference is given to a safe joining of the flag members, in that the interlocking means comprise movable connector members which are manually operable to be shifted between a retracted inoperative position and an active position, in which a safe interlocking of the adjoining edges of the flag member is secured. However, the actuation of such flag members will require a free access to the underside of the flag members, and, in practice, this will mean that the locking means are accessible only adjacent the outermost edges of any preassembled flooring area. Thus, it is simply impossible to arrange for a separation of a flooring area along a straight or broken line well spaced from the contour of the area, because the manually shiftable interlocking members will simply not be accessible.
It is the purpose of the present invention to provide a flooring of the aforementioned type, which is reasonably easy to separate along any desired line even remote from the outer edges of the flooring area, while a generally very effective coherence between the flag members is not renounced, such that any separated sub area of the flooring may be handled as a unit which will not be liable to disintegrate when it is moved or even thrown around. According to the invention the interlocking connector means are arranged in such a manner that they will require a vertical bending of each respective flag member edge in order to be released from and joined to the complementary locking means or the neighboring flag member, and such a bending cannot, in practice, be effected unintentionally. On the other hand, it may be effected anywhere along the joining lines between the flag members, without requiring acess from a free edge of the flooring area.
A high priority should be given to the coherence between the flags, even so they will resist some unintentional lifting without separating. It will be in order, therefore, that they can be separated only by a pronounced intentional and even strength requiring dislocking, whereby the edges of the flag members edges should be heavily resiliently bent and the flag members correspondingly twisted.
The invention is based on the recognition that a very safe and yet releasable locking is achievable when the interengaging locking members are arranged relatively close to the corners of the flags in a countersymmetrical manner such that at one side of the corner the flag members is liftable from the neighboring flag members, while at the other side of the same corner the flag members is not liftable from the respective adjoining flag member or rather it is liftable therefrom in the opposite direction only. Therefore, the release lifting of a flag member side adjacent the corner will be resisted by the maintained locking engagement in the nearby area at the other leg of the corner such that an effective release is possible only by a pronounced bending and twisting of the adjoining portions of the flag member.
Under these conditions the interacting locking members may be provided as integral portions of the flag members, such that separate joining members may be avoided and the flag members may be entirely uniform at least as far as the locking members are concerned. It has been found advantageous to manufacture the flag members in various series, all having the same main dimensions so as to be interengageable, but provided with different top surface designs, e.g. with large holes, small holes and no holes at all, whereby the user may compose the flooring with sub areas of respective desired surface characteristics.
In the following the invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a flooring according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a top view of a flag member used in the flooring,
FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the flag member,
FIG. 4 is a bottom view thereof,
FIG. 5 is a sectional side view thereof,
FIG. 6 is a perspective top view illustrating four adjoining flag members, and
FIG. 7 is a more detailed view, seen from below, of the common corner area of the four flag members shown in FIG. 6.
In FIG. 1 is illustrated a flooring comprising a plurality of square flag members 1, which are interlocked edge to edge. The flag members 1 are made of resilient plastic and are designed such that they are joinable and separable by being bent and twisted as shown in dotted lines for two flag members 1A and 1B. In the example shown, it is presumed that the flooring is desired to be separated along a dotted line a in order to release a portion thereof for removal or for remounting at some other edge area of the flooring, and it is illustrated that the disconnection may be effected by a bending up of the edges of the flag members 1 either at one side 1A or at the other side 1B of the line a. Principally it would be sufficient to effect a bending of the flag members 1 at only one side of the line a, but since a downward bending is not possible when the flooring is supported on a rigid floor, a corresponding effect is obtained by bending upwardly the edge of the adjoining flag member 1 at the other side of the line a.
The flag members 1 are principally identically shaped, one of them being illustrated in more detail in FIGS. 2-5. The flag member is a die cast plastic member comprising a top plate portion 2 having along its outer edge a depending edge flange 4 provided with a protrusion 6 near each corner, to the right thereof. Spaced similarly, from the corner to the left thereof, the edge flange 4 is shaped with a vertical slot 8 opening towards an interior recess as described below. The top plate portion 2 is provided with a plurality of relatively large holes 10 and with another plurality of smaller holes 12, the edges of the latter being connected with downwardly extending butular portions 14 extending down to the underlying rigid floor surface.
The protrusions 6 of each include a vertical, narrow rib portion 16 carrying an outermost head portion 18, which is shaped as a vertically cylindrical block member having a rounded top portion located beneath the lower side of the top plate 2, with the top edge of the rib portion 16 being located at a still lower level.
The vertical slots or depressions generally designated by reference numeral 8 each comprises a vertical slot 20 in the edge flange 4, open from the lower edge thereof up to a level just beneath the bottom side of the top plate portion 2, with each slot 20 opening into a downwardly open, cylindrical recess 21 inside a wall portion 22. The recesses 21 correspond in width and height to the shape of the head portions 18. The recesses 21 may extend upwardly to a level slightly above the top level of the head portions 18, but still beneath the level of the top plate portion 2, such that the recesses 21 do not break through the top surface of the flag member.
Mutually orthogonal rib portions 24 along the underside of the top plate 2 extend between the upper ends of the neighboring tubular portions 14 as horizontal reinforcing ribs for the top plate 2. On its top side, the top plate 2 is shown provided with a pattern of slightly elevated rib portions 26 for improving the non-skid properties of the flag member.
The edge flanges 4 are each provided with a pair of downwardly open recesses 25, which are located in a symmetrical manner such that, when the flag members are assembled into a flooring (FIGS. 1 and 7) these, recesses 25 of the adjoining flag members will be located flush with each other and thus provide for a break through, which will enable a drainage of water or the drawing of electric cables along the floor, underneath the flag members.
With the described design and with the choice of a suitably flexible and resilient plastic, the flag members are very convenient and even healthy to walk and stand on, as the location of the support portions 14 has been selected according to recognized zonal therapeutic principles.
The flag members, as mentioned above, are joinable edge to edge by way of intercoupling of the respective head portions 18 and recesses 21, and it is to be noted that these elements are located entirely beneath the top plate portion 2 such that they will be completely invisible in the assembled flooring. In other words the flooring will present itself as flag members laid neatly together, without any visible signs of applied intercoupling means.
The top plate portion 2 may be designed otherwise, for example, with holes 10 of reduced size or even without holes 10. Even the holes 12 may be avoided, as the plate material can be arranged to extend across the upper end of the tubular support portions 14. Correspondingly, these portions should not necessarily be tubular.
The main concern of the present invention relates to the intercoupling of the flag members. Obviously, when the intercoupling means are arranged entirely beneath the top side of the flag members, it will not be possible to disengage two neighboring flag members merely by lifting anyone of them from the other, inasfar as only one of the flag members will be liftable from the other. Moreover, since there is provided along each flag member side one protrusion 6,18 and one recess 20,21 it will be required, for joining or separation of edges of the flag member, to move one end of a flag members side upwardly and the opposed end of the flag member side downwardly relative the corresponding edge portions of the adjoining flag member.
Thus, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3 two flag members 1 may be tilted or threadably secured together or apart, and, when the cooperating cylindrical heads 6 and recesses 21 are parallel and in tight engagement already, such a joining or separation by tilting cannot be effected without a certain resilient bending of the locking portions 6,16 and 20,22, whereby a certain self-locking action between the flag members is obtained.
However, a much more pronounced self-locking is obtained whenever four flag members I, II, III, IV are joined into a square as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, Three of the flag members are easily joinable by respective threading or tilting movement as illustrated in FIG. 6, but the situation then arises that the "center corner" portion of the fourth flag member should have its associated head member 6 introduced into the corresponding recess 21 of the neighboring flag member III from one side of the plane of the preassembled flag members I, II, III, IV, while at the other side or leg of the corner the recess 21 of the fourth flag member IV should be introduced over the head portion 6 of the repsective neighboring flag members from the other side of the plane. This requires a rather widegoing resilient bending or twisting of both the fourth flag members IV and the adjoining locking portions of the respective neighboring flag members. The fourth flag member should not only be twisted, but also be bent or drawn away from the third flag member III in order to enable the protruding head portion 6 to be moved into a position, from which it is introduceable into the recess 21 of the third flag member III. This drawing apart of the adjoining edges is illustrated by an arrow b in FIG. 6, while the associated required twisting is illustrated by an arrow c.
Thus, the joining of each sub unit of the four flag members I, II, III, IV will require the use of a considerable, yet acceptable manual force, but on the other hand, once the flag members have been joined in sub groups of four flag member (as present around each corner joint in the flooring, except near the edges thereof) the flag members will be joined such that they can be separated only by a correspondingly difficult manual work, which requires a high degree of coordination between bending, drawing and twisting. A separation, therefore, cannot possibly occur unintentionally, and once a section of the flooring has been separated as along the line a in FIG. 1 this section will remain absolutely coherent by the following handling thereof, almost no matter how roughly it is treated, and it can be moved to another position along the edge of the same or another corresponding flooring area. Here the joining is effected as described above, starting preferably from one end of the joining line, practically all of the corners along the joining line now being "center corners" at the middle of four surrounding flag members.
It will be understood that the flag members will be separable by the same movements as described for the joining, though carried out in inverted manner. By the separation, as also by the joining, it will normally be necessary to lift off at least one end of the respective edges of the flag member from the floor, and this, of course, is facilitated when the top plate portion 2 is provided with holes 10 large enough to permit introduction of a finger tip.
While the flag members should be resilient enough to allow for the described required bending etc. without the necessary manual force having to be inconveniently high, the resiliency should not be so high as to enable a mere retraction of the locking heads 6 from the recesses 21 in the horizontal direction, or at least this should require quite excessive forces, such that the flooring will be resistant to heavy separation forces as may occur e.g. in factories as for example by truck driving on the flooring. However, the sub portions responsible for the holding of the heads 6, viz. the part-cylindrical portions 22, constitute local, concentrated structures which, despite the general resiliency of the flag members, are rigid enough to withstand a direct, horizontal retraction of the cooperating head portion 6.

Quebec's sovereigntists pretend to want independence.
Until recently, federal politicians pretended to believe them.
But with the Parti Quebecois poised to return to power after the September 4 election, the old pretenses are breaking down -- victims of the global financial crisis and the Euro crisis in particular.

Many Canadian commenters are drawing comparisons between Republican heartthrob Paul Ryan and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Some parallels do exist. Both are men of strong convictions; both gained prominence at relatively young ages.

If Canadians know any history at all, they know the story of the war of 1812. (Or at least the part about the British burning the White House.)

Israeli governments often have collapsed before their term ended. Benjamin Netanyahu's government is doing something almost unheard of in Israel: voluntarily scheduling an election much earlier than necessary. Elections were not due until 2013. It seems very likely they will be held on September 4 of this year instead.

Fulton County voters:
Fulton County voters said yes to their fire departments but no to 9-1-1 in Tuesday's elections.
A half-cent sales tax narrowly passed, 1,756 votes (53 percent) to 1,559 (47 percent), to provide additional funding for the county's volunteer fire departments.
But voters soundly rejected an increase in the surcharge on telephone bills to upgrade the county's 9-1-1 system from basic to enhanced. The vote was 1,008 for (30 percent) to 2,374 against (70 percent).
For Fulton County justice of the peace in District 2, Democrat Walter Dillinger easily defeated Republican Lori Benedict by a vote of 275 (79 percent) to 71 (21 percent).
In Sharp County, Democratic incumbent Harold Crawford handily defeated independent challenger J.R. Murphy in Tuesday's election. Crawford received 4,360 votes (71 percent) to Murphy's 1,762 (29 percent). Crawford's win marked the end of a long campaign year for Crawford, who defeated Democratic opponent Wayne Long, Murphy's nephew, in the May Democratic primary.
"The electorate have spoken and I think they've sent a good message to the people of Sharp County," said Crawford. "I'm pleased with the JP races and think we will have a good quorum court to work with."
Crawford said the result of this election was close to the percentages he predicted on a sheet of paper he hid in his desk drawer. Crawford showed Murphy receiving 28 percent of the vote. Murphy actually received 28.78 percent.
He said, "I didn't even show my wife my prediction."
In the only other countywide race, incumbent Democrat Jeff Qualls held off a challenge from Republican challenger Doug Wortham in the race for county coroner. Qualls received 3,940 votes (64 percent) to Wortham's 2,180 (36 percent).
Cherokee Village voters will go to the polls again Nov. 26 for two runoff races. Incumbent Mayor Marjorie Rogers will face challenger Ray Maynard, the city road superintendent, in a runoff election. Rogers captured 939 votes (45 percent) to Maynard's 914 (44 percent). A third candidate, Tim Randall, captured just 208 votes in the race.
Darrell Kehrli (I) and Dick Sackett (R) will also be in a runoff for justice of the peace in District 2 (Cherokee Village). Kherli and Sackett each received 314 votes (37 percent) in a four-candidate race. Two other independents, Les Adam and James Thomas, both independents, split the remainder of the vote.
In other contested races on the Sharp County Quorum Court incumbent JP Marc Goings (D) received 489 votes (66 percent) to defeat challenger Carol Dunaway (I) (256 votes, 34 percent) in District 1.
Incumbent JP Greg Prenger (D) got 500 votes (67 percent) to defeat Patricia Wattenbarger (D) (245 votes, 33 percent) in District 3.
Dennis Burton (D) defeated Conway Spurlock (I) in District 4 by a vote of 597 (65 percent) to 318 (35 percent) for an open seat vacated by JP Wayne Long who challenged Sharp County Judge Harold Crawford in the Democratic primary election.
Challenger Arnold Kunkel defeated incumbent JP Marvin Cossey 400 votes (69 percent) to 178 (31 percent) in District 7. Justices of the peace in the remainder of the districts were unopposed.
Hardy Mayor Louie Seibert edged challenger Robert Gilliland. Seibert received 171 votes (54 percent) to Gilliland's 148 (46 percent). These totals do not include Fulton County voters in Hardy. The two candidates split the Fulton votes with 3 apiece.
But Ash Flat voters rejected incumbent Mayor Pepper Martin's bid for re-election, electing Alderman Brien Nix Hall to replace him. Hall received 226 votes (62 percent) to Martin's 141 (38 percent).
Incumbent Highland Mayor David Shackelford will serve another two years after narrowly defeating Billy Lowe 225 votes (51 percent) to 212 (49 percent).
On the Cherokee Village City Council, challenger Jim West defeated incumbent Alderman Jack Stroup 1,267 (67 percent) to 618 (33 percent) for Ward 2, Position 2. But Alderman Ray Torbit held off a challenge from Eugene "Gene" VanDeman, 1,334 votes (71 percent) to 549 (29 percent). Tom Thompson, incumbent Alderman Charles Bartlett, W.D. "Wally" Shultz, Russ Stokes, James Fenton and incumbent Alderman Scott Paul were all unopposed.
Ray Maynard's wife, Susan, was unopposed in her bid for re-election as clerk/treasurer.
Cherokee Village voters also narrowly passed an ordinance to stagger the terms of aldermen. The issue passed 1,022 (51 percent) to 968 (49 percent).
Hardy voters will also return to the polls Nov. 26 for a runoff between incumbent Alderman Bobby Higginbottom and challenger Jack Huffmaster Jr. The two candidates emerged in a three-way race that also included Greg Bess. Higginbottom received 122 votes (38 percent) to Huffmaster's 116 (36 percent). Higginbottom received 5 votes in the Fulton County portion of Hardy to Huffmaster's 1.
Incumbent Alderman Ralph DePriest defeated challenger Chad Wiles 194 votes (61 percent) to 122 (39 percent). DePriest received 5 votes in Fulton County, Wiles 1.
Incumbent Alderman Joe Halbach, Bruce Jones, incumbent Alderman Debi Evans and Raymond Hicks were all unopposed for the council.
On the Highland City Council Clyde Fisher defeated Jennie Eash 230 (56 percent) to 183 (44 percent). Former Mayor Bob Vance defeated incumbent Alderman William Frolow 305 (72 percent) to 120 (28 percent).
Incumbent Alderman Geraldine "Jeri" Johnson fell to challenger Shawn Reed 247 (59 percent) to 173 (41 percent). Incumbent Alderman Taryn Duncan held off a challenge from Cletus Wiles, winning 238 (55 percent) to 193 (45 percent).
Incumbent Highland Aldermen Danny Taylor, David Harris, Denise Gibbons and Vicki Brink were all unopposed.
In Ash Flat incumbent Alderman Joe Cotham fell to challenger Scott Brewer by a vote of 224 (62 percent) to 138 (38 percent). Mack Thompson defeated Jerry Branscum 226 (63 percent) to 134 (37 percent).
Carolyn Stewart ran unopposed for the position vacated by Brien Nix Hall. Incumbent councilmen Jerrell Lesley, Darrell Carpenter and Marty Goodwin were all unopposed.
Sharp County Clerk Tommy Estes said this year's general election turned out a record number of voters for a non-presidential election year. Estes said over 800 residents voted early, which is considerably higher than the average. He attributed the record-breaking number to the heated municipal races this year.

Vittana is the first organization in any sector (education, microfinance, non-profit or for profit) to focus solely on creating education microcredit programs across a global geography; we're also the first to crowd-fund student loans using our own peer-to-peer platform. That said, Vittana's most important innovation is the expertise we've acquired – more... to create successful student loan programs around the world.
Although we tailor our model to take into account each individual country's particular target market and although we work closely with our microfinance partners to make sure we're constantly improving our strategy, there are a few key ingredients that make our student loan model successful:
Vocational education or last one to two years of college. Although we know that a four-year college education produces higher earning potential for students, there is a much higher drop-out risk associated with students with several years of education remaining. Focusing on vocational education and the final year of college enables students to earn significantly higher wages (291% estimated income increase) while also minimizing that risk. Once our partners have developed a track record with these loans, we work with them to offer loans to students who are beginning their college education. Parent or close relative as a co-signer. Unlike traditional microfinance, where loans are often made to a close-knit group of women who promise to guarantee each other's loans, there is no long-term cohort of students that can do this for college loans: students are often more mobile, often leaving their hometowns to attend college and then leaving college to get a job. Having the student's parent (or other close relative) serve as a co-signer is one way to establish accountability for repayment. – less–ZoomInfo

Cholesterol is packaged into lipoprotein particles in the liver and intestine and transported to peripheral tissues for normal cellular function. Reverse cholesterol transport is the mechanism by which excess cholesterol is transported back to the liver and is facilitated by high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). Increased plasma concentrations of cholesterol within the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) contribute to atherosclerotic vascular disease that commonly affects the coronary, cerebral and peripheral vascular circulation. Incontrovertible evidence now supports the use of the 'statin' class of drugs to decrease vascular disease. Statins inhibit hepatic cholesterol synthesis, increase hepatic low-density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDLc) receptor expression and consequently decrease plasma LDLc, to reduce risk of myocardial infarction in people at widely varying risk of heart disease. At present, there is limited evidence to support the use of drugs that modify high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) to reduce risk of heart disease.

Easy and delicious! Submitted by S. Ann Andrews.
This ranch dressing uses silken tofu instead of mayo for a low-fat version that will add creaminess to any salad.
1 12.3 ounce package firm lite silken tofu
1/3 cup water…
1 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. garlic powder…
1 red bell pepper
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar…
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup distilled water…
It's yummy! Trust me….
1 cup cold water or light vegetarian broth
2 tsp cornstarch…
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. frozen apple juice concentrate…
This dressing is great on a grain-based salad as well – such as quinoa with vegetables.
I must admit that salad dressing is my big "frustration" with this program. I have come up with one salad dressing that I really do like … it's "creamy" and just "rich" enough to satisfy, plus it's a welcome change from vinegar.
I've discovered that I really like raspberry dressing, but most of the fatfree ones in the grocery store have too much sugar. I found this recipe and have been experimenting with cutting down on the calories by decreasing the apple juice concentrate.
This is my lower-fat, vegan version of Annie's Gingerly Vinaigrette (which contains honey). I've used ground flax seeds to thicken it–as well as add essential Omega 3's.
Good on salad, avocado or jacket potatoes. You may want to add seasonings to taste.

- Oil-Free Baked Portobello FriesDo you know why vegan cooks are so creative? I think it's because we're constantly being tempted by interesting dishes on restaurant menus that are "vegan except for." You know, the chickpea appetizer that is vegan–except for chicken broth. Or the hash browns that are vegan–except they're cooked on a griddle alongside bacon. Or the portobello fries […]

- No Place Like HomeFrom the time I was a little girl, the plants and trees growing around my house have always been a part of what makes my house feel like home. In my childhood, it was my father's pomegranate tree outside my bedroom window, and the specially grafted fruit tree in our backyard, lovingly created by Mr. […]
