Statement of Motorola's Online Privacy Practices: Full text
Motorola recognises privacy and security as being concerns for most individuals accessing the Internet, including our customers. This statement describes how Motorola collects, uses and safeguards information you provide when using our web sites; in accordance with the relevant legislation for the countries in which such data is being processed. By using our web sites, you consent to the collection and use of your information by Motorola as set forth in the policy currently in effect. Any changes to this statement will be posted on our web sites, so please check back periodically to ensure you have the most current statement.
This statement of privacy practices sets out the privacy policy for Motorola's public web sites in Canada. It applies to web sites operated by or on behalf of Motorola Canada Limited and its world-wide affiliated companies and subsidiaries. Please read this statement to understand the following:
What personal information is collected?
When you place an order with us, Motorola may collect personal information about you, including name, title, company, address, email address, phone numbers, payment card number and, in rare instances, other categories of personal information, such as drivers license numbers and date of birth. In addition to ordering and registration, we may ask you for and collect personal information at other times, including when you enter a competition or contest; participate in a promotion or marketing campaign sponsored by Motorola or one of its business partners; when you want to find out about service offered in your area; when you complete surveys or other questionnaires; when you participate in a user forum or blog hosted by Motorola or one of its business partners; when you send an email to Motorola; when you express interest in employment with Motorola; or when you engage in other activities on the sites.
In addition, our web server logs collect the domain names of visitors to our web sites. This information is aggregated to measure number of visits, average time spent on a Motorola web site, pages viewed and web site usage information. We use this information to measure the use of our sites and to improve the content of our sites. Aggregated information is not used in such a form that would enable direct connection of any personal information to our visitors.
Who is collecting the information?
When you are on a Motorola site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Motorola Mobility, Inc., its subsidiaries and related companies. Additionally, if you purchase a mobile phone, modem or other device requiring service, your personal information may be collected by a third party company working with Motorola. Motorola may also contract with third party companies to perform services for Motorola on its web site that require these companies to collect personal information (e.g. hosting a web site competition, promotion or survey, or selling software downloads).
In addition, Motorola's web sites may allow third party vendors to provide products and services directly to Motorola consumers. Such relationships are designated with a "Provided By" or "Powered By" company legend or logo, or other similarly worded designation. If you desire to purchase a product or service from such third party, your personal information will be collected by the third-party company, and shared with Motorola. You may review the privacy practices of the third party either by clicking the link on the bottom of the page, or by clicking on the "Provided by Company" logo, which will take you to their web site. Additionally, when you purchase or download software applications from Motorola or a third-party, your personal information is shared with the software developer/licensor in order to register you as a licensed software user, and to permit them to provide you any required support. If you are concerned about the privacy policy of a certain developer or software company, you may contact them directly or visit their individual web sites.
The Motorola web site may also contain various links to third-party web sites. These sites may provide additional information, goods, services and/or promotions. These sites are owned and operated independently of Motorola, and have their own separate privacy and data collection practices. Any information you provide to these web sites will be governed under the terms of their privacy policy, if any. Motorola has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the independent actions or policies of these independent sites, and is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.
What about cookies?
When you enter our site, our server may attach a small text file to your hard drive - a cookie. Your unique cookie tells us that it is you whenever you re-enter our site, so we can recall where you have previously been on our site, and what, if anything, you have in your shopping cart. Cookies help us deliver a better web site experience to our users.
We may also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, and which areas of the Motorola site you have visited, and your visiting patterns. This information collected by using a cookie is sometimes called "clickstream." We use this information to understand how our users navigate our site, and to determine common traffic patterns, including what site the user came from. We use this information to make site navigation and product recommendations, and to help redesign our site in order to make your experience on our site more efficient and enjoyable. We may also use this information to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions that you and other users will see. This helps Motorola deliver you the content you want when you want it, in order for you to make better purchasing decisions. Motorola uses a third party to track user clickstreams.
You have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your Internet browser preferences, you have the ability to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. Please note that, if you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities that require the placement of cookies.
How is my personal information used?
Motorola's primary goal in collecting personal information is to facilitate order processing and to enable us to contact you if a problem arises with your order. Additionally, if you purchase a cellular phone, modem or other device requiring service, your personal information may be used to obtain a credit report if necessary. Such information is required when making a purchase. This information may also be used to provide you with a customized experience on our site, which includes interactive communications, and other services. The Motorola site may also contain optional surveys and questionnaires asking for information, as well as several opportunities for visitors to ask questions. We use the information you provide to help us design and build better products, to customize your shopping experience, and to provide advice and purchase recommendations. Taking part in any of these segments is always optional and voluntary.
We also use the information we collect to help target valuable marketing and advertising offers. This kind of advertising may be done with banner ads as well as promotional emails sent by Motorola, or by third parties under contract with Motorola. Motorola may also match user information with third party data to help us better understand our customers.
Motorola also conducts research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us when making a purchase, during a promotion, from surveys and from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis so as to prevent identification of personal information relating to any one individual. Motorola may share this aggregated data with our business partners.
Finally, we may also ask for your personal information when you express an interest in employment opportunities at Motorola.
With whom does Motorola share my personal information?
Except as outlined in this policy or on our web sites, Motorola does not provide your personal information to third parties without your consent. Please note that, in special cases, we may need to share information without acquiring consent, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our sites' Terms of Use or may be violating Motorola's or other's rights or causing injury to or interference with Motorola's or other's property.
In addition, Motorola shares the information you provide with Motorola subsidiaries and related companies. If you purchase a cellular phone, modem or other device requiring service, your personal information is shared with the service provider/carrier with whom you subscribe. Additionally, if you express an interest in a product requiring a particular type of service, Motorola may share your personal information with your local service provider in order to determine whether such service is available in your area.
Motorola may share your personal information with third-party business partners so that they may provide services to Motorola that are consistent with the terms of this Privacy Policy, and this web site (e.g. database management, sending targeted emails, software sales, and conducting sweepstakes and other promotions on behalf of Motorola). Motorola takes great pride in utilizing only reputable business partners. Motorola may also, on occasion, provide personal information to third-party businesses as part of a specific product, service, or promotion.
Motorola shares web site usage information about visitors to our web sites, who have received a targeted promotional campaign, with reputable third-party advertising companies for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising companies note some of the pages you visit on our web sites through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The information collected by our third-party advertising companies through the use of these pixel tags is not personally identifiable.
What choices do I have regarding collection, use and distribution of my personal information?
Motorola or its business partners may, from time to time, send you email or direct mail regarding our products and services. If you do not want to receive such information, simply tell us when you give us your personal information, or follow the directions contained on the mailing to remove your name from our mailing list(s).
On certain types of Motorola promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to contact you in the event you have won a prize. When you participate in these types of promotions, you may receive promotion-related email. Occasionally these promotion-related email messages may include targeted advertisements. If you do not wish to receive such advertisements, you can choose not to participate in such promotions or contests.
Please note that by refusing to provide personal information or by denying or withdrawing consent to use personal information for purposes identified, you may be unable to participate in certain programs or activities sponsored by Motorola.
You also have the right to access (review, correct, amend or delete) your personal information by contacting Motorola. Individuals are responsible for providing Motorola with accurate and complete personal information, and for contacting Motorola if correction of such information is required. Please note that, where permitted, we may charge a minimal fee for fulfilling access requests and that we reserve the right to disallow unreasonable requests for access.
If you have established a "user profile" on a Motorola web site, you may change the information you provided by visiting that portion of the web site and resubmitting your information.
Please direct any questions concerning Motorola's privacy practices to email@example.com. Tel: +1 800 461 4575.
What about information security?
When you place an order or provide personal information, we employ certain technical and organization security measures, such as encryption where appropriate. Encryption scrambles the information in your purchase, including your credit card number, so this information can only be viewed by Motorola. Motorola currently uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, where appropriate, for Internet-based transactions.
However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we have taken appropriate steps to protect your personal information, Motorola cannot ensure or otherwise warrant the security of any information you provide to us or from our Web site, and therefore you use our site at your own risk.
As a global company Motorola has international sites and users all over the world. Therefore, the personal information you provide may be transmitted, used, stored and otherwise processed outside of Canada, including jurisdictions that may not have data privacy laws that provide equivalent protection to such laws in Canada. Whenever Motorola handles personal information, regardless of where this occurs, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Use, this Privacy Statement and all applicable laws and regulations.
What about my child's privacy?
This website, operated by or on behalf of Motorola Mobility, Inc. and its world-wide affiliated companies and subsidiaries, is intended for use by persons age 13 and over. Motorola does not seek to collect information about children under the age of 13. No information should be submitted to or posted on this web site by users under 13 years of age. If a child under the age of 13 submits personal information to this web sites, we delete the information as soon as we discover it was provided by a child under 13 years of age and do not use it for any purpose. Motorola encourages parents to take an active role in their children's use of the Internet, and to inform them of the potential dangers of providing information about themselves over the Internet.
This Privacy Statement is subject to change without notice.

Rett syndrome is a developmental disorder caused by a mutation of the gene called MECP2 on the X chromosome. It is often misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy, and other disorders. Rett occurs in approximately one of every 20,000 births, striking primarily females. It can be confirmed with a blood test. The severity of symptoms varies based on the location and type of the mutation on the chromosome.
A baby born with Rett develops normally for the first six to eighteen months. Skill acquisition then slows down or stops completely. The child begins to lose abilities she previously had such as language hand movement, and gait. Seizures and difficulty breathing are common, and growth of the head slows. Her mood may destabilize, causing her to cry much of the time and become withdrawn.
The irritability dissipates over time and the child may resume some skill development, however she will have significant disruptions or delays in learning, speech, gross motor skills, cardiac health, mood, and swallowing.
While there is no cure for Rett there are treatments and therapies that can address its symptoms. Occupational and physical therapy can address both gross and fine motor issues such as the child's gait. Special education support in school can assist with her learning.
The International Rett Syndrome Foundation was established in 2007as the result of the merging of the International Rett Syndrome Association and the Rett Syndrome Research Fund. The purpose of IRSF is to fund research for a cure and provide support for families affected by the disease. Most states have a Regional Representative to assist people in finding services for their family member affected by Rett. In Connecticut the contact person for IRSF is Ariane McMahan. She can be reached at email@example.com.
Although there will certainly be challenges along the way, children with Rett can live a happy life.

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (Xbox) review
"If you can stand the notion of devouring brains, watching your victims rise from the ground and stumble about at your will is quite enjoyable. A kid with the baseball bat soon joins your team, and you can whistle to make him shamble over to you, or just leave him to expand your army the best he can."

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers! We have a winner in the clothing aisle :king:

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers! We have a winner in the clothing aisle :king:
I opened this thread thinking something really bad happened. All I see is one of the munster family...
I would've told her "Mam, no here at WalMart is humiliating you, you have achieved that all by yourself!"
I think that Walmart should establish a nationwide store policy about dress code made visible by a clear sign on the entrance that states that all customers must wear shoes and shirts or they will be asked to leave.
I just can't believe that someone would leave the house like that. DISGUSTING!
ok let me get my flamesuit on.
alright I'm back. with the shaved head and the full sleeve tattoos, not to mention the lack of clothes she was looking for attention. if she doesn't like the attention she got, well that's just too bad. if she was using profanity and yelling in the store I have no doubt it was due to her "attire". why people make themselves look like that and then holler when someone looks at them I don't understand; "you" brought that upon yourself when you elected to go out without a shirt and pants on.
flamesuit off
and lima, I agree with you 100%. its just a simple modesty/respect issue
Looks like alot of the retired Marines around here.
Private store. They can set their own dress code if they want.
In other news :gah:
You guys can have this when I'm done.
Attachment 52297
I would not want to be the officer that responds to THIS scene.
Simply out of respect for others she should consider a little cover-up. There's no way she went into Wal-Mart dressed like that without a bit of a chip on her shoulder, more or less daring someone to say something -- this theory is probably bolstered by the comment from the manager that noted several people complained about her abuse of them. She was daring someone to say something and then she didn't like it when they did.
My father is a laryngectomy, and there's only about two or three restaurants he'll go in, all of them places that know him and are used to him -- in fact, when we walk into one Sonny's BBQ, he's greeted with a hearty hello by name, and they then seat him in a corner, away from others, that he's comfortable in. He sticks to these places, and his seating arrangements, because he doesn't want to bother other people with any wheezing or other situations that arise from the hole in his throat -- in other words, his condition has made him be considerate of disturbing other peoples dining experiences.
This lady needs to learn some of this humility.
Dude,your man-boobs are ridiculous! I wonder if his other knows he goes out like this!!!!!!!!!?.Hmmmmmm.,where does he keep his GUN?!
Oh my, that picture. I'm horrified. Warning, too much looking at it can cause blindness.
A private business has the right to order an individual to leave the property for wearing a red shirt. Why wouldn't Wal Mart have the right to get her out of the store?
Open carrying a cath bag? She owes Wal Mart an apology.

As expected, Roxanne Cabanero, former beauty pageant contestant who filed a case of rape against Vhong Navarro, who was allegedly mauled by Cedric Lee and his men in Forbeswood Heights Condominium last Jan. 22, attended the preliminary investigation of the case Thursday, March 13, 2014.
Based on the ABS-CBN News' updated report, the former beauty contestant from Davao who was allegedly kicked out from the pageant because of a photo scandal, turned emotional when interviewed by the local entertainment media. Reports said upon her arrival, she immediately looked for Vhong, but unfortunately, the It's Showtime host was only represented by his legal counsel Atty. Alma Mallonga.
"Is he here? I'm expecting him today, but I'm not sure if he's here. I want to see him," Cabanero said while speaking with entertainment media. "He did something wrong to me. He raped me. I have a lot of hate inside right now and I'm very emotional, so I wanted to see that guy," Roxanne continued.
The former beauty pageant contestant became controversial when she came out and accused Vhong several weeks ago, according to her, Navarro sexually assaulted her on the evening of April 24, 2010. After reading her story, Vhong's followers searched his whereabouts on that evening and they found out that the actor was in Island Cove in Kawit, Cavite performing with Vice Ganda and Kean Cipriano.
Netizens criticized her for filing a complaint against Vhong, according to them, she is one of the allies of Cedric Lee. Roxanne immediately explained her side, she said the netizens should stop accusing her because her case is different compared to Cedric Lee and Deniece Cornejo.

Iodine-131-labeled antibody binds alpha-folate receptor for the treatment of peritoneal metastases. [© Max Tactic - Fotolia.com]
France-based Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) purchased rights to Italian biopharma Dompé's FabOvar, an iodine-131-labeled, humanized mAb fragment currently in preclinical development for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The two firms will actively collaborate on the product, with Dompé producing the API and AAA manufacturing the labeled product. They claim FabOvar's selective binding of the overexpressed α-folate receptor makes it an ideal candidate for the treatment of peritoneal metastasized ovarian cancer.
The FabOvar deal comes just a week after Dompé took a 7.7% equity stake in AAA as part of the latter's €40 million round of fundraising with new and existing investors. The investment by Dompe was its first in AAA. Dompe's CEO, Eurgenio Aringhieri was also elected to the AAA board.
AAA was established in 2002 as a spin-out from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva to develop molecular imaging and molecular therapy products for personalized medicine based primarily on its expertise in PET. The firm says it is currently involved in 25 research projects with 71 external academic and commercial partners.
AAA's lead therapeutic candidate, Lutate (177Lutetium DOTA0 Tyr3-Octreotate), is in late-stage development for the treatment of metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Lutate is a radiolabeled somatostatine analog designed to selectively target overexpressed somatostatine receptors on tumor cells and destroy them through delivered radiation. Orphan drug designation for the GEP-NET indication has been granted in the U.S. and Europe.
A pivotal European and U.S.-based Phase III study evaluating Lutate will be carried out by CRO Pierrel Research in about 300 GEP-NET patients. AAA says a previous investigator-sponsored study involving over 600 patients at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam showed that Lutate extended survival by 3.5–6 years in comparision with current treatments including chemotherapy. Lutate also improved quality of life, especially in patients with demonstrating tumor regression, the firm notes.

Red Samsung Galaxy S III launching on AT&T on July 29
When AT&T announced that it would carry the Samsung Galaxy S III (alongside all other major US mobile operators), it said it would offer an exclusive red version of the handset, in addition to the regular white and blue ones.
Now the carrier has unveiled the exact date when customers will be able to grab a red S III: July 29. It didn't say how much this would cost, but its price shouldn't be higher than what you have to pay for the white and blue versions ($199.99 on contract).
As you may already know, AT&T is offering only the 16GB edition of the Samsung Galaxy S III (unlike Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, which also sell the 32GB variant). The red S III will, of course, have 16GB of internal memory, too.

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha ekes past Michigan Tech, sweeps series
OMAHA, Neb. — It's tough to go so far as to say that winning with flair is overrated.
That said, no matter how pretty or ugly a win might be in this sport, each one counts for two points, and Nebraska-Omaha will be glad to have it and them following the tenth-ranked Mavericks' 3-1 victory over Michigan Tech on Friday at Qwest Center Omaha.
After thoroughly outperforming the visiting Huskies in Thursday's 5-2 win to start the series, UNO appeared to be thrown off-guard by MTU's ability to bounce back on Friday. The Huskies, who had lost each of their previous nine games, came back for the second game and looked much hungrier than they had the night before.
Just, unfortunately, not hungry enough to overcome UNO's quality that eventually shone through.
"We weren't expecting a game like this," UNO head coach Dean Blais said. "We were expecting more of a wide-open game, thinking that last night might have been a little demoralizing for them, but they came back and showed a lot of character.
"It was a tough game, and a tough loss for them, too, because with a bounce here and there, they could've won."
It was clear throughout most of Friday's game that UNO was expecting a different sort of Huskies team to turn up, and the Mavericks often looked sloppy perhaps because of it.
UNO did open the scoring on Friday, though, through freshman Ryan Walters' fifth goal of the season at 16:11 of the first period. An MTU defensive lapse led to a 2-on-1 break for UNO entering the Husky zone, and linemate Brock Montpetit fed Walters, who buried a shot high past Tech goaltender Kevin Genoe.
The Mavericks were then denied a 2-0 lead in the second period after an apparent goal was waved off because a Maverick forward was found to have kicked the puck into the Tech net.
That served as a wake-up call for the Huskies, and their improved effort through Friday's earlier throes was rewarded just ahead of the halfway point of the game. Aaron Pietila scored his second goal of the campaign on the play, putting away the rebound from a teammate's shot after UNO goalie John Faulkner could only chest down but not cover Tech's initial chance.
Honors remained even through 40 minutes, but UNO controlled the final 20. Senior forward Matt Ambroz's ninth goal of the season, a high wrist shot from the slot, put UNO ahead for good at 3:39 of the final frame, and Montpetit scored a backbreaker of a goal with 4:51 to go, deflecting home a hard shot from the blue line by UNO defenseman Bryce Aneloski.
Friday's result extended MTU's losing streak to ten games, but the injury-plagued Huskies were much improved on Friday, leading head coach Jamie Russell to feel that his team deserved more than it got from the game.
"I thought our guys deserved to get two points tonight," Russell said. "That's not to take anything away from UNO, because I thought they played great in both games, but with the courage and determination that our guys played with the adversity we've faced with all our injuries and players playing hurt, they sucked it up.
"There was a parade behind the bench of guys going back to the locker room to get (the trainer's) attention, and playing hurt with that kind of performance, I thought we were pretty thorough in all areas.
"(The losing streak) is frustrating for everybody, but I couldn't be more proud of our guys with the effort that they put in this weekend. Our first-line center is out, our first-line left wing is out, our second-line center is gone, our second-line left wing is out of the lineup. Freshmen are having to be elevated way up on our depth chart, and our guys battled their butts off, especially tonight."
Blais didn't go as far as to say that he agreed that the Huskies deserved a split from the series, but he did heap praise on Tech's much-improved effort in Friday's game.
"If we would've given up at any point, it could've gotten really ugly, but (MTU) battled us right up to the buzzer, and you've got to give them credit for it," Blais said. "Maybe we got a break or a bounce on that third goal, and from there it was our game, but this was like at Bemidji State last week (where UNO was swept) where the hungrier team won.
"I felt bad (for us) after last week, and Jamie's sitting with one win in the league, so I know how he feels. It's tough, but we had to take care of business here and look out for our own team first, but there is sympathy (for MTU). Not pity, because they could've won that game tonight, and I don't think they deserved (to win) like Jamie did, but that's his thoughts. He was proud of his guys, and he should be."
MTU (3-10-2 overall, 1-10-1 in the WCHA) is on the road again next Friday, where it will square off with arch-rival Northern Michigan in Marquette, Mich.. UNO (11-4-1, 8-3-1) is also away next week for an in-league series against Colorado College.

The Allstate Gospel Superfest set its sight on Chicago's House of Hope, this past Saturday evening, for its live recording. Hosted three years consecutively by multi-talented actress Wendy Raquel Robinson, currently of BET's dramedy The Game. National and local Gospel music artists packed the place out. For 15 years Dr. Bobby Cartwright Jr. has brought together scores of Gospel music artists and enthusiasts to celebrate and honor those who have made a difference within the industry.
A line formed from the main entrance of the House of Hope and extended all the way out into the parking lot. The crowd's anticipation to see some of the Gospel music industry's most influential artists was high. So much so many were able to snap photos, as they entered the foyer, of the artists walking the red carpet. They even lingered long after the last note was sung to meet and greet actress Wendy Raquel Robinson. Robinson took photos and greeted the lingering crowd gracefully. After four hours of nonstop performances and hosting, Wendy was just as spry.
The house was jumping from beginning to end with performances from Micah Stampley, Ricky Dillard & New G, Malcolm Williams & Great Faith, Dexter Walker & Zion Movement, Grammy award winner Tye Tribbett, Angel Taylor, Jessica Reedy, Sheri Jones-Moffett, Lamar Campbell & Spirit of Praise, Lonnie Hunter & Voices of St. Mark, Award winning former member of Destiny's Child Michelle Williams, Lexi, James Fortune & FIYA, BRL Chicago, Chicago Mass Choir, Joshua's Troop, Bishop Larry Trotter & Sweet Holy Spirit, Ben Tankard, Desmond Pringle and others. The Pre-show was co-hosted by three of Chicago's on-air personalities Program Director of Gospel Radio 1390, Sonya Blakey, Program Director of Rejoice 102.3, Darryll King and multi-talented radio host Keno Greer. To say the least, it was an overdose of good ol' gospel music. Chicago was well represented with some of our top Gospel choirs.
Erica and Tina Campbell, of the multi-award winning dynamic Gospel music duo Mary Mary, were honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for their commitment of producing inspiring urban Gospel music since their debut album "Thankful" was released in 2000. The duo performed their hits "Go Get It" and "God In Me". Erica took the crowd up into a frenzy singing her new single "A Little More Jesus" from her first solo project, "Help", due to release on March 25.
A special quartet tribute was put on to commemorate The Pilgrim Jubilees' legendary 50 year tenure in the Gospel music industry. Originally from Houston, MS, the group started their career, but then were reestablished in Chicago under the leadership of Elgie Graham. After Elgie retired in 1955, the group continued making music with new members. The foot stomping tribute comprised of quartet groups Lisa Knowles & The Brown Singers, The Williams Singers, legendary singer Paul Porter and multi-award winning producer, singer and songwriter Stan Jones.
The Allstate Gospel Superfest will air in syndication soon. Visit the website (click here) to find out when it will air in your area.

Fact Or
In The Article 'Crucifixion'?
From: "Positive Atheism"
To: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Subject: Fact or conjecture in the article "crucifixion"?
Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 3:50 AM
To the editors:
Encyclopædia Britannica:
In your article "crucifixion" the text says: "... and in about AD 32 Pontius Pilate had Jesus of Nazareth put to death by crucifixion."
Are there any contemporary writers or documents backing this claim? No. There are no contemporary records even of the existence of Jesus which predate the publication of the Gospels. Paul's undisputed writings (Romans; I & II Corinthians; Galatians) do not even place a time for Jesus's life except somewhere in the past, much less do they narrow his crucifixion to the time of Pilate. Only the Gospels which eventually became incorporated into the Christian Scripture attest to the existence of Jesus and to his crucifixion under Pilate. These Gospels are known to contain gross and deliberate misrepresentations of the laws, language, customs, geography, religious beliefs, and sense of decorum and dignity of the communities they allege to describe. The Gospels also contain numerous internal inconsistencies within and between one another. (They don't even agree as to whether Jesus was from Nazareth, a town which Encyclopædia Britannica says "is not mentioned in the Old Testament or rabbinic literature" [Nazareth] and which may not have existed until after Jesus is alleged to have lived.) This points toward the likelihood that the Gospels were written by Greeks at least 50 to 100 years after Jesus is alleged to live.
Thus, this article might better read: "... and the Christian religion teaches that in about AD 32 Pontius Pilate had Jesus of Nazareth put to death by crucifixion" or something similar. It is improper for a reference book to report as fact claims that are so easily shown to lack independent verification.
For a summary of the arguments regarding the lack of independent verification of the claims for Jesus's historicity, and especially the lack of independent verification of the claims that Jesus was crucified by Pilate, consult the works of British biblical scholar G. A. Wells.

Also, a note on ending permutations:
Show spoiler
(hidden content -
There are some minor variations depending on your EMS value and whether or not you destroyed the Collector base in ME2. Basically an EMS under about 2,300-2,500 will result in the Earth being destroyed/devastated during the unleashing of the Crucible. At this level you should also only be able to choose the destroy or control endings. At about 2,800 you unlock the synergy ending (which is apparently what Bioware class as the "best" ending). If you play multiplayer and boost your readiness rating above 50%, an EMS of 4,000+ will allow Shepard to live after the destroy ending. If you saved the Collector base, you can choose the control option and not destroy Earth in the process with a slightly lower EMS than if you destroyed the base (something like 2,000 vs 2,300). Shepard will always die in the synthesis ending, but apparently he is supposed to be able to live in the control ending with a high enough EMS and the appropriate Collector base choice. The info I have says if the base was destroyed, but I tried that last night with a boosted EMS from an edited save and he still died, so I suspect it has to be the base retained saves instead (which makes more sense, given the reduced EMS requirement for a successful control ending when retaining the base detailed earlier).
Edit: While we are on the subject of endings, some related cut content talk:
Show spoiler
(hidden content -
while Lynk alluded to the endings in the script leak at the end of last year (which are basically identical to the final game), apparently there was an earlier leak from almost a year ago that seemingly intended a different end. I haven't read it myself, but it supposedly deals with dark matter and the spread thereof as the main reasoning behind the Reaper harvesting. You'll recall in ME2 there was a few mentions of dark matter, most notably in Tali's recruitment mission. I suspect this was part of the arc Karpyshyn originally came up with. At some point in ME3 development, they obviously decided to abandon it. Additionally, there is talk that the Prothean character in the From Ashes DLC was originally intended to be the Catalyst. Not sure how that would have played out exactly.

Most U.S. households can consistently afford enough food for active healthy living. But 11 to 12 percent of households struggled at times to put adequate food on the table in recent years. USDA classifies such households as food insecure. During 2003-05, the national prevalence of food insecurity averaged 11.4 percent and varied from less than 7 percent in North Dakota, New Hampshire, and Delaware to over 16 percent in New Mexico and Mississippi. Food insecurity was more prevalent than the national average in 11 States, less prevalent than the national average in 20 States, and not statistically different from the national average in 19 States and the District of Columbia.

A 13-year-old boy from the UK has just become the youngest person to build a fully functioning nuclear reactor. The teen's science venture is absolutely putting the rest of our kid's projects – the exploding volcanoes, orbiting planets and the other typical offerings – into complete ignominy.
According to UPI on Thursday, his fusion reactor was completed on Tuesday and tested the following day. In a controlled environment at school before an audience of experts, Jamie flipped the switch and created fusion.
How did it all start?
"One day," Jamie recalls, "I was looking on the Internet for radiation or other aspects of nuclear energy." (As we all do when Internet surfing, just after we watch a video of a cat farting and before we Google what the Kardashians had for brunch today.)
Jamie came across the Wikipedia page of Taylor Wilson, who in 2008, at age 14, became the youngest person to produce nuclear fusion.
"I looked at it," Jamie says, "and I thought 'that looks cool' and decided to have a go."
The Priory Academy student from Lancashire loves challenging himself with science, so much so that he used to try to steal his older brother's science homework – so that he could do it himself.
The Lancashire Evening Post calls Jamie a delightful "young boffin," and tells the story of how the young "fusioneer's" project came about:
Trying to raise the funds wasn't easy. Jamie said: "I went to various nuclear laboratories and universities and they didn't seem to take me seriously."
So, he went to his head teacher Jim Hourigan in October.
Jamie added: "I had to give a presentation and talk to him about safety, the benefits and what could go right or wrong. I needed £2,000 ($3,400) and he said he would fund it and also put £1,000 into a contingency fund so that myself and others could continue my work as I would like to make it energy efficient."
Mr. Hourigan added: "I was a bit stunned and I have to say a little nervous when Jamie suggested this but he reassured me he wouldn't blow the school up."
Jamie also kept a blog tracking his progress. Eventually, his research and efforts paid off: Edwards smashed two atoms of hydrogen together, creating helium. Nuclear fusion.
Jamie calls it a "star in a jar," and essentially, that's what it is. Solar gas clouds made of mostly hydrogen molecules are pulled together and packed so densely, that nuclear fusion will begin to occur in the core of a forming star. This process will continue; once all of the energy is used up, the star dies.
"Basically I made a star in a jar," the teen said. "It's amazing really, quite a feat, to be the youngest person in the world to do this… All my friends think I am mad."
Jamie's record-breaking endeavor came just in time – he turns 14 on Sunday.

Interview with a real down to earth artist out of Cali. Great vibes. Great person. Great message.
Featured By Owner
Nov 11, 2012
Student General Artist
Matt: I recently had a interweb bro to bro with artist, iawN the N.R. Getic, about art, his name, and how he's nominated for Raw Artist visual Artist of the Year. We both grew up in San Bernardino, Ca but we went to different high schools so we didn't meet up until later in life. I was part of a couple shows with the Zealous kids last year and told iawN we should kick it and paint but sadly it didn't happen before I moved back down to San Diego, so it was cool to chat it up via messaging back and forth like in middle school when foxygrl45 gave you her screen name.
Matt: When did you first remember creating art, what made you want to draw as a kid?
iawN: My earliest memory of wanting to be an artist spawned from a love for comic books. My father had taken me to the mall (Central City Mall at the time, now Carousel in SB), bought me a few marvel comics. Before even getting back on the bus to go home, he sat me down and we flipped through them all. I was in awe. since then i was always trying to mimic the characters, drawing girls names in 2nd grade trapped in Spider-Man's webbing.
Matt: thats rad! I remember central city so well from when I was a kid and how ghetto fab that shit was. Now its just a bummer. So were you a kid that had doodles all over the margins of his homework?
iawN: Always, I can find notes from high school and even recent college courses that are just riddled with sketches, graffiti, early designs of my logo. I don't get rid of them, keep them for inspiration. Sometimes I've revamped characters or letters and and released them to the public. I never thought they would make it that far. Some do.
Matt: I have a binder of good doodles from high school and college. Only the good ideas get taken to the next level, haha. So are you still in school? Where do you go or did you go and for what?
iawN: Unfortunately I am still in school, I finally took my head out of my ass when I was about 25 or 26 and started at RCC, taking it seriously as opposed to the time when I was 18 starting at Crafton, or then 20 at Valley. I'm going for a Business degree, I take some design classes here and there as well. I've never taken art classes until college.
Matt: yeah its hard to get motivated, or at least it was for me from age 18-24, party years. So what have you been up to recently in the IE? I know you and the zelus crew were doing it big when i left, you still rockin shows?
iawN: I'm not sure what month you left, but we're still making moves. The last ZLS Together event, #6 was really fun. 80's themed, I came in 2nd for the body painting contest. Did a sick Voltron piece. Aside from that I've been rocking a couple of shows solo from IE to LA, The Zealous Creative will be helping me host an upcoming record release party for Sully. I have back to back gigs coming up next week, Wednesday we'll be painting w/ the ZLS creative, then the next day is my big day hopefully. I made it into the top 5 nominations for RAWards 2012, Visual Artist of the Year Semi Finals (say that 5 times fast). The artists in 9 different categories will be announced that night and then move on to the finals in Hollywood. Pretty stoked, it's the biggest independent art awards show in the world.
Matt: Hell yeah! I saw that you were nominated, congrats dude! that rules. I was going to bring that up. What's raw all about? Is it local or nationwide?
iawN: Yea its all over. There are some mixed feelings about the organization that have been expressed through other artists that I know, just how you have to initially sell tickets, or come out of pocket for a spot, but I love it. It's been a blessing. As a matter of fact I sold the Voltron painting from the 80's show at my last RAW showcase. I've had two so far. The video they produce for you is awesome, they've been really chill on letting me do my own filming there, and raffles and such so I dig it. I recommend anyone looking for more exposure contact them.
Matt: Where does your name stem from?
iawN: I go by iawN the N.R Getic. I am energy, we all are. I used to write graff for a few years, NME one, or simply Nme! , then one day I saw my name upside down on a folder and it clicked. I have virtually no enemies, nothing but friends. Now I didn't have to drop the name as whole I could just flip the game upside down, be more like the creator. So now I am like positive ions, I am iawN the N.R.Getic.
Matt: When you start a piece do you like to map it out before or how much prep goes into your process?
iawN: I'm more of an off the cuff creation type of guy. I love painting scenes and just going along with it. My universe paintings get pretty gnarly. For events that I might have limited time on or customers who want something specific I'll at least sketch something out and have some sort of idea where I am going. Some of my best and most interesting pieces however, were almost all at random until the end, which was then fine detailed toward a goal or an image.
Matt: I saw that universe piece you and Joe did, shit looked dope, do you paint a lot with other people?
iawN: Him and I have collaborated on a few cosmic pieces, they're always fun and get crazier every time.
Matt: How do you balance painting and design projects as both are a ton of work?
iawN: I love to paint with other artists, even if we are working on separate pieces, I love to paint around friends. I'm much more productive in that environment rather than left alone to my own thoughts. I think that sort of camaraderie came from early year graff missions. They had your back like it was hereditary.Its hard to sometimes, I am constantly trying to design when hanging out with friends. my laptop stays with me, the painting is more of a planned action, making sure i have the right paints and such with me where I will be bustin at. but it does get tough, there's my passion then there's how I network and make ends meet sometimes. Both are definitely necessary for my overall growth as an artist in what I'm doing, so no matter what there will always be somewhat of a balance ya know?
Matt: Yeah it kind of comes natural to do so much work because its work you have a passion for even if you feel like you get burnt out
iawN: I'm always spreading myself too thin too
Matt: Whats going to be your focus after the raw awards?
iawN: If i advance next week I'll focus on the January showcase in Hollywood. If I win, I hope to travel spreading a message of love and peace through my art and my clothing designs. If not, I'll probably make a move towards Los Angeles, perhaps New York. I know they will need help rebuilding after this gnarly hurricane. I'm dying for a change, so it will be interesting to see what happens with me if the world doesn't end next month.
Matt: Well that's what were all banking on. Change is good.
iawN: Right?! It is. I have been in a funk for quite some time.
Matt: Have you traveled in the past?
iawN: I've never made it out of the country, I traveled to the east coast and back when I was a kid for a family reunion and once in 4th grade working with my dad. Hopped around Colorado for the summer selling merchandise then trekked back home just in time for school. Aside from that, I was in the LA and OC areas a few years back but the... incident occurred, (haha) and I moved back to the IE. Oh and once to Maryland from OC for my grandmothers funeral. It was good seeing family.
Matt: Where would you want to go if you had the chance just to bounce and go explore somewhere?
iawN: Europe. There's just so much there. Possibly Africa, feel some roots.
Matt: Do you have sea legs? I've heard boating across the Atlantic on like a freight cargo ship can be insane.
iawN: That sounds pretty crazy. I'm not sure how I would take to the situations in open waters. I've gone whale watching once in middle school that's about as far out as I might venture. I don't know why a 15 hour flight sounds and better or safer.
Matt: Yeah planes scare me but only when i think about it while on them, I'm sure a boat would have similar effects. Anything else you want to throw out there? I don't have any more questions ha
iawN: I'm a Lost fan, I should be scared of planes. Keep an eye out for new art, I'm transitioning to this trippy style incorporating sacred geometry, neon, glow in the dark hidden stuff. Hoping to aid in the ascended awareness of our people. It's time to wake up on a lot going on.
Matt: If you were a character on lost who would you be?
Hugo for sure
Matt: Nice lets end it there. That was a nice ending.

Three ways to style your tie-front blouse
After going through your gently used name brand clothes at home, you quickly realize you bought a tie-front blouse but have no idea how to style it! Here are a few tips and tricks to help you nail the 2013 trend this summer:
1. Use your tie-front blouse to double as a crop top. Both looks are a must-have this season. To shorten the hemline, simply tie the blouse a little tighter than you normally would to help bunch up the fabric. Pair with high-waisted cut-off shorts and white sneakers for a cute, country vibe.
2. Look to your solid tie-front shirt as the color inspiration for your entire outfit. A bright tie-front blouse pairs well with a short, flowy skirts. Find a bottom with a floral pattern that has the same color as your shirt (or a hue in the same family) to complement the look. The skirt should fasten at the smallest part of your waist. Create a loose double knot with the ends of your blouse to cover the band of the skirt. Accessorize with a statement necklace, nude flats and a carry-all bag for a fun outfit that is comfortable to walk around in while shopping.
3. For a laid back look, pair a cotton tie-front tee with white skinny jeans and jeweled sandals. The relaxed fit of the shirt looks cute and casual with the summer "it" jean. Use your sandals to dress up the look without compromising on comfort.

text: One of the more surprising moves as NFL teams chopped their rosters down to their final 53 players was the Pittsburgh Steelers releasing running back Jonathan Dwyer. That's partly because they need depth with rookie Le'Veon Bell out for the foreseeable future, and partly because Dwyer was their leading rusher last season. Though he only totaled 729 yards of offense with a 4.0 YPC average, he did pop off back-to-back 100-yard rushing games in Weeks 7 and 8. However, he reported to OTAs at least 25 pounds overweight and recent acquisition Felix Jones looked far better in preseason action, so maybe it wasn't all that surprising that he's gone.

First Listen: First Aid Kit, 'Stay Gold'
Stay Gold
Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg first made their names with feather-light chamber-folk confections that echoed the soaring sweetness of Fleet Foxes. A cover of that band's "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" even helped launch the then-teenagers to YouTube fame back in 2008. But in 2014, styles have changed and so have the Söderbergs: First Aid Kit's major-label debut, Stay Gold, moves well beyond the portentous prettiness of the pair's 2012 breakthrough, The Lion's Roar.
The music is lighter on its feet and less haunting, but the lyrics have picked up some additional heft along the way: "I'd rather be broken than empty / I'd rather be shattered than hollow," the Söderbergs sing in a particularly barren moment from "Shattered & Hollow." Their vocals still ring out sweetly, but there's a welcome edge to their delivery throughout the record that digs deep. Even when a song like "The Bell" never accelerates beyond a lightly lilting amble, there's potency to it.
First Aid Kit could have easily gotten stuck in a sullen rut, opting for stately beauty over the versatility showcased here. But Stay Gold is a statement of staying power; a collection of bright, smart, substantial songs that stick around. By the time the Söderbergs rustle up a bit of countrified rowdiness in "Heaven Knows" — a sure set-closer at the band's concerts for years to come — they've fully reset expectations. First Aid Kit's music has always been charming, but the duo has found the capacity to thrill, too.

I'm reading An Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations by Agarwal and O'Regan. On page 28, I have the expression
$$y\left(x\right)=c\exp\left(-\int^x{p\left(t\right)\, dt} \right)$$
which is equation 5.4.
My problem is the missing lower limit of integration. I don't understand what the notation means. The context of the equation is solving the homogenous equation
This leads to
The text says that by integrating both sides, we get the expression that is puzzling me. Any advice on how to interpret this notation would be appreciated.

While oligarchs and corrupt politicians continue to loot the world with impunity, low income workers and the middle class continue to be pushed into a life of misery and serfdom under a neo-feudal plutocracy. The latest example has manifested itself under ridiculous noncompete clauses that low wage workers are being forced to sign at Jimmy John's.

Imagine the power going out across your hometown, and watching in horror as water rises at a staggering pace in the streets and homes in the place you and your family call home.
Now imagine being almost 1,000 miles away and having no choice but to watch the tragedy unfold on tv.
That is the reality for Milwaukee Admirals defenseman Anthony Bitetto. The 22-year old 2010 draft pick of the Nashville Predators is a native of Island Park, New York, which is located in Nassau County in New York's Long Island area. Although his hockey career has taken him to Indiana, Massachusetts and now Wisconsin, Bitetto is a New Yorker through and through. His family and friends still reside in the Island Park area, so the news of Hurricane Sandy's arrival and aftermath hit especially close to home for him.
Bitetto has set up an online donation site on fundly.com to raise money for his home town, which has been completely destroyed by Sandy.
"It's devestating. Our fire house was completely destroyed, there is concern over contamination because of the overflowing sewage, and the town is still without power. The water has been shut off, and to make matters worse, downed power lines are causing fires. It's just terrible."
In Bitetto's own home, there is three feet of standing water, and drywall is literally crumbling off the walls. He has made contact with family and friends, and thankfully, they are safe and sound. When Bitetto had spoken with his parents Friday morning, they were in line to pick up cases of water from one of the several food/water PODS near some of the schools in Island Park.
The young defenseman grew up in Island Park, and started off his hockey career with the Empire Junior Hockey League's New York Apple Core hockey club before making the jump to the USHL's Indiana Ice. He returned to the north east to play for Northeastern University in Boston. To read a little more about Bitetto' hockey career, check out my article on him from back in August by clicking here.
As of 2pm today, Bitetto's Hurricane Support for Island Park NY site has raised almost $5,000 to help the battered town get back on its feet. When I spoke to Bitetto about his fundly.com donation site, I was struck with how incredible humbled he was to have had so many donations since the fund opened a week ago. He's a class act, and his love for his hometown lit up his face like a christmas tree. Thankfully, his family and friends are okay, but they have a long road ahead of them as Island Park begins to rebuild from this natural disaster.
I ask each and every one of you to visit Bitetto's site ANTHONY BITETTO HURRICANE SUPPORT FOR ISLAND PARK NY on fundly.com and make a donation today. You can donate as little as $10, and each and every penny you donate goes directly to Island Park, NY to be used for relief efforts. Several of Bitetto's teammates, as well as other members of the Nashville Predators organization have contributed to this wonderful cause. Many Admirals fans have also contributed, and I hope that you will join us. Island Park is one of the many towns in the north east that were completely demolished from Hurricane Sandy, and I hope you'll join me in making a donation to help the community get back on its feet.

Commission turns down request to rezone Covil Ave.
Published: Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 9:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 9:57 a.m.
A request to rezone 6 acres on Wilmington's Covil Avenue has not been well received by the city's planning commission.
On Wednesday, the commission voted 5-2 to recommend the denial of the request. The applicants could appeal the decision to city council, which has the final authority on rezoning decisions.
Dan Dawson, a member of the planning commission, moved for a denial because of traffic concerns.
Walter Pete Avery, another member, said he is not opposed to apartments, but that the additional cars would clog the artery. "Pretty soon it's just going to have a big heart attack right there," he said.
The applicant wanted the city to rezone a 6.4-acre tract at 315 and 323 Covil Ave. from multifamily medium to multifamily medium-high conditional district to accommodate a 144-unit apartment complex.

For a while a friend and I have been thinking about a family of integral symmetric bilinear forms of signature $(n+1,n)$. Such lattices in our case arise 'in nature' (in a certain problem about vector bundles on projective space), come with a standard basis of `roots' (elements of square $2$), and the Gram matrix with respect to this basis of roots has largish positive integers off of the diagonal. I'm interested in the group generated by the reflections in these roots, which I believe is free Coxeter. If the off-diagonal entries were very negative, then standard Coxeter combinatorics would imply this, but that is not what is given in this part of nature.
My question is if other people have encountered similar situations in their neck of the woods and if there are techniques for dealing with such a situation.
Searching the literature for a long time only turned up two papers about 'higher rank Coxeter groups' of signature $(p,q)$. While these papers didn't exactly help, I imagine that knowing more about higher rank Coxeter groups would be indirectly useful, so any pointers on such groups are also welcome.
EDIT: I should add that I know how to deal with the case $n=1, (2,1)$, so am more interested in $n \geq 2$.

IMF Executive Board Approves US$118.1 Million Three-Year Extended Credit Facility Arrangement for MauritaniaPress Release No. 10/89
March 15, 2010
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved a three-year arrangement totaling SDR 77.28 million (about US$118.1 million) for the Islamic Republic of Mauritania under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF).1 The approval makes an amount equivalent to SDR 11.04 million (about US$16.9 million) immediately available, with the remainder available in installments subject to semiannual reviews.
The 2010-2013 arrangement, equivalent to 120 percent of Mauritania's SDR 64.4 million quota in the Fund, will support the Mauritanian authorities' economic program. Mauritania's economic growth and fiscal position have been weakened by the global fuel and food price crisis in 2007-08 and subsequent financial crisis and global recession in 2008-09. The effects of these external shocks were exacerbated by a domestic political crisis that led to a decline in aid flows, and the unexpected significant drop in oil production.
At the conclusion of the Executive Board's discussion of Mauritania's request, Mr. Murilo Portugal, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, made the following statement:
"Economic performance in Mauritania deteriorated sharply in 2008-09 on the back of both domestic and external shocks. Real GDP declined and the fiscal position weakened. Inflation has remained under control, but the current account deficit is high at 12.7 percent of GDP, and international reserves only cover about two months of imports.
"The economic program prepared by Mauritania for 2010-12 focuses on addressing these challenges with policies to support sustained growth and poverty reduction. Fiscal consolidation will create more space for social and infrastructure spending, while reducing the vulnerability stemming from a large public debt. Together with a prudent monetary policy framework, this will help maintain low inflation and rebuild international reserves. Deepening financial intermediation and enhancing the business environment will support a broad-based private sector led-growth.
"The 2010 budget targets a deficit of 3.8 percent of non-oil GDP, down from 5.3 percent in 2009, through a combination of revenue and spending measures. The budget appropriately increases social and infrastructure spending while containing current spending.
"The authorities have decided to allow greater exchange rate flexibility to increase the effectiveness of monetary policy and facilitate adjustment to external shocks, while conserving scarce international reserves. Rising fuel and food prices may pose some risks to the inflation outlook, but the authorities' monetary program for 2010 aims to be sufficiently firm to keep the inflation rate close to 5 percent.
"The authorities' multi-pronged banking sector reform strategy would help strengthen the financial system and enhance intermediation. Decisive actions to make the business environment more attractive are also important to promote a broad-based private sector-led growth.
"Support from the international community will be essential to help Mauritania address its short and medium-term financing needs and strengthen external sustainability," Mr. Portugal stated.
Recent Economic Developments
The global economic downturn and the drop in donor financing following the August 2008 military coup have weakened economic activity in Mauritania, through slower activity in the mining, fishing, and the construction sectors. Non-oil real GDP growth is estimated at -0.9 percent in 2009, down from 4.1 percent in 2008. Oil output continued to decline in 2009 and total GDP would contract by about 1 percent.
The fiscal position has also deteriorated. The basic non-oil fiscal deficit increased to 7.7 percent of non-oil GDP in 2008, up from 2.2 percent in 2007. Preliminary data suggest that spending adjustment efforts have not kept pace with declining revenue and the basic non-oil fiscal deficit, although lower, would still be high in 2009, reaching 5.3 percent of non-oil GDP. Faced with limited resources, the authorities have used the IMF's recent SDR allocation to help close the fiscal financing gap.
Lower food and fuel prices and the normalization of donor relations have helped cushion the impact of the global economic slowdown on the external position. The current account deficit remains high at an estimated 12.7 percent in 2009, although down from 15.7 percent in 2008. The resumption of donor financing after the July 2009 election and the disbursement of financial compensation under the European Union (EU) fishing convention helped maintain the level of gross international reserves at end-December 2009 at 2.2 months of imports.
Inflation has remained in the low single digits. It fell rapidly to 0.9 percent year-on-year in September 2009, reflecting lower international fuel and food prices and a somewhat prudent monetary policy stance. However, international fuel and food prices are rising again, pushing up inflation to 5 percent year-on-year at end-December 2009. With slumping economic activity and a benign inflation outlook, the BCM lowered its policy rate from 12 to 9 percent in November 2009 but real interest rates remained positive. The effective exchange rate depreciated by 3 percent in nominal terms and 2 percent in real terms.
Program Summary
The authorities' 2010-2012 economic program aims to sustain high growth and reduce poverty while safeguarding macroeconomic stability. To achieve these goals, the program focuses on the following key areas:
• Fiscal consolidation to reduce public debt, while creating more fiscal space for social and infrastructure spending
• Further enhancing the monetary policy framework to maintain low inflation and rebuild reserves to about 3 months of imports
• Deepening financial intermediation and enhancing the business environment in support of a broad-based private sector led-growth
• Strengthening social protection and safety nets.

According to AZ Central News, a dog,who was trying to protect his ailing guardian, was fatally shot by a Broomfield, Colo., police officer on Friday.
Shortly before 10 a.m., an elderly man in his 80s, who was walking his leashed dog, collapsed on Dover Street. A good Samaritan witnessed the man's collapse and rushed to his aid, but the dog, described as a Staffordshire terrier, reacted when she approached; the woman sustained a bite on her arm.
The woman phoned 9-1-1 and a responding police officer also attempted to access the man on the ground, but again, the protective dog reacted - the officer attempting to provide aid sustained a bite on his leg. The officer who killed the dog has stated that the dog would not release its hold and that he was forced to fire his gun.
According to 9 News, the elderly man was transported to a hospital for treatment; his current condition is unknown. The dog-bite victims were treated for non-life threatening wounds.
A witness to Friday morning's shooting expressed dismay over the way the situation was handled to the Broomfield Enterprise:
There was a person that needed assistance immediately, on the ground, and there was a dog protecting him,"
"And there was nothing done to use anything but lethal force. The dog didn't have a chance and the man needed help.
"They didn't do anything to subdue the dog,"
"There's a long list of things they could do before anything lethal ... The police aren't bad people, but that was very brutal."
The police have stated that attending to the ailing, elderly man was their first priority; the incident is under investigation.
Though "police-shoot-dog" incidents are frequently reported in the news, there are also many incidents which highlight officer's compassion. Just this week, a police officer adopted an abused dog that he helped rescue last Sunday.
