Respectfully submitted on 1/9/00 by Katherine Halvorsen and Dex Whittinghill.
[Moderators note: Katherine generously took the notes and gave them to
me right after the meeting. It is I who foolishly waited until January
to write them up.]
The meeting was opened by Dex Whittinghill. To get on the Isolated Statisticians e-mail list contact Jeff Witmer of Oberlin C. at his new e-mail address: email@example.com.
There were 43 people in attendance, including David Moore (Past-President)
and Judy Dill (of the ASA office).
Item 1. What do folks do in the Calculus-based introductory statistics course? Posed by Andre Lubecke.
Andre said that for her course the prerequisite is 2 semesters of calculus, no multivariate. The audience: math majors & engineers. Don Bentley suggested that the engineers needs will [should?] drive the course. Anne (****or Ann, who?****) teaches statistical thinking, primarily. David Moore asked Do you have an obligation to teach probability to engineers? They require this, but at Purdue they teach the engineers statistics and dont use much calculus.
Bob Hayden recommended a Wiley book: ****Bob, what book )for math majors
or engineers) was this? Certainly not the Berinstein book?****
Allan Rossman described a new project that Beth Chance, Karla Ballman,
and he are working on to produce curricular materials for this audience.
Gudmund Iversen said that he cant find a good book for this audience!
Item 2. There was an article in the Feb '99 American Statistician about undergraduate majors in statistics. Maybe we could discuss this subject and expand it to minors or concentrations in statistics. Posed by Tom Moore.
A quick poll of the audience showed the existence of 2 stat majors, 6 stat concentrations, and about 10 stat minors in math departments. George Cobb described the Mount Holyoke major in stat. Terry King described the stat major at Northwest Missouri State. Mike Frey said that at Bucknell they have a minor for non-math majors, and a concentration for math majors.
It was also asked if we need an under-grad major in stat? Katherine Halvorsen said that she found the articles persuasive there are jobs there. Anne Sevin said that her Framingham State students found jobs easily with their stat major. Don Bentley said that his goal is to prepare student for grad school, but that his dept just dropped real analysis course requirement. Although ads dont usually ask for statisticians, the Census Bureau & Mayo Clinic wants people with under-grad stat background. Brian Kotz said that in his under-grad stat major he had to use his stat skills to do data analysis & make presentations those courses helped him teach AP stat. Bob Hayden reminded (?) us that Winona put together stat major & had no statisticians on the faculty at the time. They hired Bob Hogg to help them set up major (now they have statisticians on staff).
Dick Scheaffer related that the ASA had a 1- day planning conference
to see what ASA could do about the under-grad curriculum (10 person meeting:
Dick, George, Rosemary Roberts & others). NSF may fund a conference
on enhancing under-grad education (possibly with workshops & a paper
series). [Moderators note: one reason to wait for doing the
minutes is to change the mays to wills. The ASAs Undergraduate
Statistical Education Initiative (USEI) will have an invited workshop at
the end of April, a series of position papers, and a one day conference
(Sat-Sun before the JSMs in Indianapolis).]
Item 3. The hiring situation as it relates to statisticians at liberal arts colleges and other isolated institutions. How can the IsoStat group be helpful, both to those trying to hire statisticians as well as to statisticians looking for positions? We would benefit from hearing about stories of successful searches from both employers' and candidates' perspectives. Proposed by Allan Rossman & Lianfen Qian.
Allan explained his problem hiring this last year. Gudmund related how Swarthmore wrote to grad schools asking for almost- through Ph.D.s. Thats how they got a 1-year replacement for Phil Eversons sabbatical. One suggestion was to go back to your own grad school. Albyn Jones said to try to get statistician from outside your institution involved in the search.
Don B. said that to get statisticians you need to recruit in the Fall [August JSMs] for the following Fall. The Math meeting is in Jan is the best time to interview but ASA doesnt have simultaneous meetings in January [and not many young statisticians are there]. Mary Parker suggested the ASA/MAA Joint Committee [web page] might be a place to reach mathematicians they/it can list stat jobs and teach mathematicians how to hire statisticians.
Don B. suggested postdocs/instructorships at liberal arts or 4-year colleges, but an objection to this is that those young statisticians need a reduced teaching load so they can publish.
Suggested places to advertise besides the MAA employment mechanisms
are the Amstat News and the Chronicle of Higher Education [Moderators
Item 4. The Isolated Teachers of Statistics group has met twice. Many of you are on that list as well. What do we all think of combining the two lists for the exchange of teaching ideas? Also, what other e-mail lists are useful to people? Proposed by Dex Whittinghill.
John McKenzie said that one list is enough, and the discussion on the list(s) should be archived & available. One list would make mathematicians aware of stat issues. Bob thinks it might be a good idea for mathematicians to see our discussions about tenure & promotion issues for statisticians in math depts. Anne Sevin suggested that one list might inhibit mathematicians from asking questions.
Brian Yandell, Editor of Amstat Online (and the 44th attendee?), asked the group at large how the ASA can better serve the Isolated Statisticians with the ASA server. He said that the IsoStat-ers could have an archive. He also suggested that the ASA/NCTM Joint Committee on Curriculum in Statistics and Probability may be of interest to isostat group & share issues. [Moderators note: Brian Y. has been in discussion with Jeff Witmer and me ask what he can offer us. Some rules for ASA webpages and list serves may be too restrictive for our tastes!]
Allan R. noted that the MAA will soon create special interest groups (SIGMAAs) and that a SIGMAA on statistics education might be a natural outgrowth of the isolated teachers of statistics group and a way to formalize its existence. [Moderators note: The SIGMAAs will come into existence shortly.]
Mary P. offered use of the ASA/MAA Joint Committee home page and its
link from the ASA home page.
Item 5. Discussion of web-based assignments. One of us wouldn't mind some suggestions on improving these assignments: instructions, grading, etc. What other web-based assignments to people use?
David Moore has 550 students in an introductory course. They get only 1 piece of paper rest of course is on line: online syllabus, online assignments (e.g. visit sites such as the census bureau, Gallup, New England J. Med., applets), even grades! Students like having resources on-line, but dont like on-line exercises (probably because they cant do assignments at last minute). Feel free to go to www.stat.purdue, undergraduate courses, stat 113, Fall 1999 course page.
Andre L. has her second semester class go to the DASL site and do written and oral reports using the data and stories there. Students often dont understand the data sets (she asks them to describe the data).
John M. says most of the publishers realize this is a new market; e.g. web CT sells software to help teacher setup web-based course.
Bob H. recommends Finding Statistics Online by Paula Berinstein, Cyber
Age Books, 1998. Paperback, $29.95. It is a book for libraries,
in the computer books section of bookstore. To quote Bobs e-mail
to me: This is not for sites about statistics but rather sites that provide
data on all kinds of things. In addition to giving sites on a wide
variety of topics, it also contains a fair amount of info on searching
the web for anything.
Item 6. Teaching on the Web, web assisted courses and problems with them. Do we have anybody who has done it, and can they share their experiences? Posed by Rahul Parsa.
Because time was pressing, and Rahul was not present, attendees were
referred to Session #160.
Item 7. Announcements and Idea-Exchange:
a. Classroom day is on Monday, Session 4000, starts 8:30 a.m.
b. Dick DeVeaux is JSM Program Chair for 2001. He welcomes ideas.
c. Mid Atlantic IsoStat group is to meet before Memorial Day next year.
d. Many of us use the "Guessing Correlations" interactive site as a class exercise/example. Lets share other good interactive sites. Send Dex interactive sites info. [None received to date. At this point send to everyone.]
e. Consider experiments in an algebra-based intro-course. One of us added such experiments this year. What experiments do others do with great success? Send Dex experiments for algebra-base course in intro stat. [None received to date. At this point send to everyone.]
f. Robin Lock said that JSE (Journal of Statistics Education) wants names of potential reviewers.
g. NEISM group will meet next June(?)
h. Terry King is the Stat Ed Newsletter editor. He welcomes announcements for the newsletter. Send to email@example.com.
i. Jerry Moreno asked all to drop by the Stat Ed booth at JSU on Mezzanine level
j. Allan Rossman gave a very brief report on the strong possibility
that MAA will soon be instituting "special interest groups" (similar to
ASA sections), with "statistics" being a natural group to form. [Moderators
note: See recent/following e-mail.]

'What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' This Shakespearean quote seems to have inspired as many as five High Courts to hold that the Income-tax Department cannot refuse the claim for depreciation on a vehicle owned by a company or a firm, on a mere ground that it is not registered in its name, but stands in the name of its director or partner. Interestingly, there is no decision of any court or the Tribunal that has taken a contrary view on the subject.
Section 32 of the Income-Tax Act, 1961
Section 32 of the Income-Tax Act, 1961 entitles a taxpayer to claim depreciation at prescribed rates for assets owned and used by the taxpayer for assets owned and used by the taxpayer for assets owned and used by the taxpayer for purposes of his business or profession. In case of a vehicle such as a motor car, it is common to come across cases where the car is registered under the Motor Vehicles Act in the name of a partner or a director (since it is a lot more economical to do so), though the same has actually been purchased by a firm or company out of its own funds, or if acquired through borrowed funds the loan is repaid along with interest by the firm or company.
Relevant Case-Laws
In CIT v. Salkia Transport Associates [1983] 143 ITR 39/13 Taxman 191 (Cal.), CIT v. Nidish Transport Corpn. [1910] 185 ITR 669/[1989] 44 Taxman 351(Ker.), CIT v. Dilip Singh Bagga [1993] 201ITR 995/[1994] 77 Taxman 66(Bom.), CIT v. Navdurga Transport Co. [1999] 235 ITR 158 (All.) and CIT v. Basti Sugar Mills Co. Ltd. [2002] 257 ITR 88/123 Taxman 693 (Delhi), it has been clearly and consistently held that mere non-registration of a vehicles in the name of the company or firm under the Motor Vehicles Act cannot disentitle it in regard to its claim of depreciation, when the facts on record are undisputed that such company or firm has in fact made the investment in purchase of the vehicle and such vehicle is being used for its business. The requirement of section 32 is that the vehicle must be owned by the taxpayer and not that the taxpayer must be a 'registered owner' of the same under the Motor Vehicles Act.
For arriving at the above conclusion, various High Courts and the Tribunals on the above issue have also usefully relied upon the ratio of the Supreme Court in the case of Mysore Minerals Ltd. V. CIT [1999] 239 ITR 775/106 Taxman 166, wherein the Apex Court has held that the term 'owned' under section 32 must be assigned a wider meaning. In the case before the Supreme Court, although a building was formally not registered in the name of the taxpayer through execution of a conveyance deed, the Court held that since the taxpayer had actually invested in the asset and was utilizing the same and thereby incurring loss on account of wear and tear of such asset, it was entitled to claim depreciation in respect of the same.

Two front line managers (FLM) were in the tower at the time of the runway incursion. One FLM was monitoring air traffic operations as part of his normal duties and the other FLM was plugged into the communications switch at the ground control 2 (GC2) position and was monitoring the local control 1 (LC1) frequency while executing the Very Important Person (VIP) arrival checklist. The FLM had positioned himself behind and to the left of the local assist 1 (LA1) position between LC1 and GC1 and was coordinating with and assisting the ground controller. The VIP arrival would effectively stop traffic at MDW therefore ATC was attempting to get as many arrivals in and departures out before the VIP arrived. The monitoring FLM acknowledged monitoring the local control frequency, but he said he was not really listening to the communications on the frequency. The monitoring FLM stated that he was confident of the local controller's ability and did not consider it critical to actively monitor the local control frequency prior to the VIP arrival.
The local controller stated that he was busier than normal with a mix of air carrier and business jets arriving and departing. There was also a helicopter operating VFR in the vicinity of the approach corridor to runway 31. The local controller was departing an aircraft from runway 31C, followed by an arrival to runway 31C and sequentially departing aircraft from runway 22L. The three arrivals to runway 31C prior to SWA844 had been directed to turn right, cross runway 31R, contact ground.
The local controller had two business jets awaiting departure for runway 31C, GAJ17 and Options 445. The local assist suggested that the local controller depart the two business jets from runway 31R and the local controller advised GAJ17 and Options 445 that they would be departing from runway 31R and directed the two business jets to taxi across the approach end of runway 31C. At 09:05:30, the local controller cleared SWA844 to land on runway 31C. At 09:05:36, the local controller directed GAJ17 to cross runway 31C and to line up and wait (LUAW) runway 31R. After working several other aircraft and directing the helicopter to depart the area, the local controller directed GAJ17 to fly heading 220 degrees and cleared GAJ17 for takeoff from runway 31R at 09:07:17 followed immediately with directions to SWA844 to turn right, cross runway 31R, contact ground. GAJ17 and SWA844 both acknowledged their respective clearances.
The FLM monitoring the local control frequency noted the conflict between SWA844 and GAJ17 and said he twice asked the local controller if he was holding SWA844 short of runway 31R. The local controller did not respond to the FLM on either occasion nor did he attempt to stop SWA844 from entering the runway or cancel GAJ17's takeoff clearance. The local controller stated that he was not sure which aircraft the FLM was referring to, because he was seated and a tower cab mullion blocked his view as did other controllers who were standing in the tower cab.
The local assist, whose first priority was to advise the local controller of safety issues related to LUAW, same runway and intersecting runway separation and to actively monitor the local control operation, stated that he had been listening to the FLM discuss the VIP arrival plan and did not recall hearing the local controller issue a takeoff clearance to GAJ17 or issue a crossing instruction to SWA844. However, the local assist did recall observing GAJ17 departing on runway 31R and SWA844 taxiing at a high rate of speed on taxiway B and stated that he asked the local controller twice "is he stopping" referring to SWA844. The local assist did not recall getting a response from the local controller but observed that SWA844 had stopped. The local assist was initially of the opinion that incident had occurred because SWA844 failed to comply with hold short instructions.
The FAA performance data analysis and reporting system (PDARS) playback of the runway incursion indicate closest lateral proximity at the time of GAJ17's rotation of 1196 feet and closest lateral proximity as GAJ17 passed SWA844 of 287 feet lateral and vertical proximity of 62 feet
At 09:07:59 the pilot of SWA844 called the tower and advised that "we just had a plane take off from 31R and you cleared us to cross." The local controller responded "SWA844 cross 31R, contact ground." SWA844 responded with "Ok if you just copied you cleared us to cross a runway where there was a plane taking off." The local controller continued to work other traffic and at 09:08:52 again called the tower and asked the local controller for a telephone number to call and was directed to contact ground after which the pilot of SWA844 asked the local controller to acknowledge that they had been cleared onto a runway which a plane was taking off. The local controller responded with "contact ground please".
The FLM monitoring the VIP arrival directed that the local controller be relieved and directed a review of the audio tapes. The local controller was relieved at 09:10 and participated in an audio recording review of the incident.
The local controller stated that he was of the opinion that he had told SWA844 to hold short of runway 31R until he heard the audio playback and realized that he had in fact directed SWA844 to cross runway 31R after clearing GAJ17 for takeoff on the same runway. The local controller could not explain his action.
FAA Order 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, paragraph 3-1-3, use of Active Runways states in part:
The local controller has primary responsibility for operations conducted on the active runway and must control the use of those runways.
FAA Order 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, paragraph 3-1-5, Vehicles/Equipment/Personnel on Runways states is part:
Ensure that the runway to be used is free of all known ground vehicles, equipment, and personnel before a departing aircraft starts takeoff or a landing aircraft crosses the runway threshold.
FAA Order 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, paragraph 3-10-9, Runway Exiting states in part:
Instruct aircraft where to turn-off the runway after landing, when appropriate, and advise the aircraft to hold short of a runway or taxiway if required for traffic.
MDW ATCT Order 7210.2A, Standard Operating Procedures for Line Up and Wait (LUAW) paragraph 4a(2):
Departure prior to arrival: Inform the aircraft of the closest arriving aircraft that is expected to land on a parallel or intersecting runway.
SWA844 contacted ground control and was provided the telephone number to the tower. The pilot of SWA844 called the tower on an unrecorded line and discussed the event with of the FLMs. The pilot of SWA844 advised that they would be filing a report regarding the tower clearing them to cross a runway that an aircraft was departing from. The FLM assured the pilot that this was not a normal event and that the ATC facility would be filing a report as well.

Institutional Challenges & Objectives
In Puerto Rico, the incidence of certain malignancies, such as breast cancer, has risen dramatically over recent years. In addition, increasingly large numbers of elderly Puerto Ricans, who left the island at a younger age, are now returning to their homeland. With many elderly Puerto Ricans returning to the island, a shift in the incidence of certain diseases such as cancer has occurred, creating an increasing burden.
Despite The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's success and its international reputation for providing excellent care and contributing significantly to cancer research, MD Anderson faces a challenge of growing proportion. The United States Census continues to reveal that the Houston Hispanic population will one day grow to become the largest ethnic group in the region served by the institution. Thus, MD Anderson must focus a significant amount of its energy and resources on cancer issues related to Hispanic populations if it is to be responsive to the people that it serves.
To meet these challenges, the following institutional objectives have been established:
The University of Puerto Rico
- To empower investigators to successfully compete for externally funded grants
- To provide access to state-of-the-art equipment and techniques
- To increase the chances of success for trainees in cancer research and care
- To provide an incentive for trainees to remain in Puerto Rico once they have graduated
- To improve the infrastructure to successfully support competitive research activities and to aid in the retention of faculty and trainees
- To establish the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center as a renowned NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center
- To take the lead in providing cutting edge research and cancer care that can be exported to other Latin America cancer centers
MD Anderson Cancer Center
- To implement research (basic, translational, clinical and population) efforts focused on disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes in Hispanic populations
- To revise clinical care practices, screening and prevention initiatives to be culturally sensitive
- To attract more Hispanic physicians
- To facilitate more Hispanic researchers
- To train physicians to provide culturally sensitive patient care to an increasingly multi-ethnic patient population
- To explore non-traditional research of benefit to ethnic populations

Impassioned by a summer leadership conference to spend more hours doing community service work, Marietta High School student Christy Heisler spent her summer racking up more than 100 hours of community service.
This school year Heisler, a junior, dove head first into the school's Key Club, and was recently elected as the vice president of the service organization for the coming school year.
With energy and passion to spare, Heisler's community involvement won't likely stop anytime soon.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Marietta High School Key Club Vice President Christy Heisler, left, organizes activities and volunteers with club president Lauren Stonehill April 7 in the high school cafeteria.
Question: What sort of volunteer activities are you involved with?
Answer: I went to this leadership conference called HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth) this summer. It was about leadership, but also about service. They challenged us. If you get 100 hours or more you can apply to be a facilitator at the next HOBY conference. So this summer I did 100 hours of service around Marietta-in the food pantry, at the Castle, at the library, and around my neighborhood. After that, I wanted to get involved with Key Club to keep doing service activities.
Q: What sort of service activities does Key Club organize?
Fact Box
Christy Heisler
Age: 16.
Residence: Reno.
Activities: Marietta High School Key Club, Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership.
A: Well, during the first half of the year, we do things that are more here at the school. We had a teacher breakfast where we made breakfast for all the teachers. I helped with that. We also have volunteers at Marietta Memorial Hospital. We did a blood drive here (at Marietta High School). And we did an American Heart Association T-shirt sale to raise money for them. We also do Pancake Days with the Kiwanis. Kiwanis sponsors Key Club, and they give us ideas where we can help.
Q: Do you do more activities outside of the high school in the second half of the year.
A: Yes. Now we're planning on helping out at an upcoming track meet. We're helping clean the shelter on the west side and also helping at the (Marietta Community) Food Pantry.
Q: What is your favorite activity you've done through Key Club?
A: I think Pancake Days is the most fun. It's the most busy, and I saw so many people from the community there. It was very successful.
Q: What is the most challenging part of being in Key Club?
A: Organizing volunteers probably. And organizing activities, deciding which ones we want to do.
Q: What do you like about volunteering?
A: There are people who don't have it as well as I do. If I can do anything to help, I would. And there are so many opportunities to help. Being in Key Club has shown me there are tons of things we can do that I didn't even know about. I've met a lot of people in the community and just realized you can do things and make a difference.

1 A. [Professor Christopher Robert Browning] If I am not mistaken.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I must be being stupid. You have just
3referred me to footnote 28 in Browning.
4 MR RAMPTON: Yes, which is on page 11.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: How does that help me get an English
7 MR RAMPTON: Because it is translated in part at the top of the
8page, reports to the Fuhrer.
9 A. [Professor Christopher Robert Browning] My Lord, I believe we have moved on to a new document,
10which is the July 2nd.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is what I thought I was asking about.
12 MR RAMPTON: I am so sorry, I thought we were still in December
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No. We have had quite a lot of evidence
15about the July 2nd 1941 document, which is why I said I
16really must see what is actually said.
17 MR RAMPTON: Browning, page 12.
18 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Page 12?
19 MR RAMPTON: Your Lordship will find a cross-reference index at
20the front of this bundle of Browning documents. Every
21single document that is referred to in the index has its
22footnote number behind it.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I follow that, but what I am looking for is
24an English translation, and which I do not think is an
25unreasonable request because this is a document that is
26quite important.
1 MR IRVING: My Lord, while they are looking, I hesitate to
2indulge in one-upmanship, but I have translated the next
3document I am going to give to your Lordship.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That would be helpful. This does not apply
5to all documents. I do not think I am being
6unreasonable. Where it is quite important I think I ought
7to be provided with an English text.
8 MR IRVING: I have also translated the Funfach letters for your
9Lordship from the Dresden argument.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Wait until we get to the next document
11because I really do want to find out where, if anywhere, a
12document which I think both sides attach importance to is
13to be found. I am afraid I am not really understanding
14the footnote cross-references. Am I going to be provided
15with them or not? That was a question.
16 MR RAMPTON: I am so sorry, I did not hear it as a question.
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I will say again. I think that the document
18of July 2nd 1941 is quite an important document. I have
19seen extracts referred to in paragraph 421 of Browning and
20I have seen a footnote in Browning but, as far as I have
21been able to find out, there is only the German text and
22I am suggesting that, if there is an English text, I would
23like to see it.
24 MR RAMPTON: All that the experts feel is important about this
25document is set out in their report.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, I am not sure that can be entirely
1right because we have had a great deal of evidence from
2the witness about it which is not contained in the
3report. That is not a criticism of the witness at all,
4but is this an important document?
5 MR RAMPTON: I am sorry. I agree it is an important document
6but I have to say only in the respects which the
7witnesses, both of them, Longerich and Browning, have
8noticed in their reports, which to this effect, if I have
9understood what this discussion is about, to this effect.
10The hand of the SS was to be hidden in the instigation of
11pogroms. It is there, if I am on the right document.
12 MR IRVING: My Lord I will prepare a translation of that
13document overnight, the relevant parts.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If you would. It does not appear that we are
15going to get it from the Defendants.
16 MR RAMPTON: I will do it, my Lord. If it is a document that
17it turns out we rely on for some purpose beyond that which
18appears in the expert reports, of course, then we must
19have it translated. But if, for our purposes, it is
20sufficiently represented and translated in the expert
21reports, then I do have to say we cannot go through these
22bundles translating everything that anybody might want to
23look at. For one thing, it takes too long and for another
24it is very expensive.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Why I am being provided with wodges of paper
26consisting of pretty incomprehensible extracts, often not
1giving any indication where they come from? I just do not
2follow the object of the exercise.
3 MR RAMPTON: When the expert reports were prepared, we asked
4the experts, as one would expect, to prepare lists and
5bundles of the sources for what they say.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: This is what we have all around the walls.
7 MR RAMPTON: That is what this is. Should there be some
8important document which requires to be translated in full
9as we have done in some cases, why then we shall do it.
10But I do not see this as being such a document for my
11part ----
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you very much. We will move on in that
14 MR IRVING: Witness, we were discussing the question of whether
15the Nazis were just killing the able-bodied, military aged
16Jews whom they captured or whether the killing was being
17extended to include also the women and the children. We
18talked about a 50 year-old Jew as an example. Can I ask
19you to turn to -- there is a document dated August 6th
201941, which is referred to on page 15 of your report. It
21is footnote 42 is the document.
22 A. [Professor Christopher Robert Browning] Footnote 42, yes.
23 Q. [Mr Irving] Page 20 of the little bundle, apparently.
24 MR RAMPTON: Might I again, your Lordship, intervene here to
25explain exactly what I mean -- I do not mean to be
26troublesome or difficult -- in relation to this document.
1I know this document, something about it. It is
2well-described in Professor Browning's report, what it
3is. The only bit which actually really matters is the
4piece of manuscript right at the end of the document which
5appears on the its third page.
6 MR IRVING: Mr Rampton, do you mind if I tell his Lordship what
7matters about the document.
8 MR RAMPTON: Well, if you want to tell his Lordship ----
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, to be fair to him, I have been being
10critical and he is just trying to be helpful and show me
11what ----
12 MR IRVING: On its way to your Lordship is a translation of the
13entire document.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am going to put that into this tab of J.
15Do you include the manuscript, Mr Irving?
16 MR IRVING: Yes, that is the final paragraph on the page.
17 MR RAMPTON: In that case, I think we should have a copy of the
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Have you not got one?
20 MR RAMPTON: No.
21 MR IRVING: It was done at a relatively early hour this morning
22and I am afraid ---
23 MR RAMPTON: That is not a criticism. I think we should have
24it is all I am saying.
25 MR IRVING: Yes, but I will refer to the passages in the German
26text and ----

No arms, no problem
By Alton K. Marsh
Tucson-based motivational speaker Jessica Cox, 25, knew once she started flying lessons in a Cessna that she never would be able to finish. The Cessna wasn't designed for someone born without arms.
Cox had a valid and unrestricted driver's license, however, and that meant she qualified medically to fly in the light sport aircraft category.
Then arrived her copy of AOPA Pilot in March 2006. On the cover was a rudderless Ercoupe, perfect for someone who does with her feet what other people do with arms and hands. She immediately called AOPA, and we put her in contact with the Ercoupe's owner, Glen Davis, who previously had instructed a student with spina bifida.
With eight hours of Cessna training behind her, Cox switched to the Ercoupe, and 30 hours later she switched again—to an Ercoupe C that fully met light sport aircraft requirements. She passed her light sport checkride in October. She e-mailed this to AOPA Pilot:
"On the playground in elementary school, I remember being limited to the swings because other equipment like the monkey bars was impossible for me to play on. This frustrated me and I remember envisioning myself flying over the playground like Superwoman while everyone watched in disbelief. In my imagination, I was everyone's hero and took people up one at a time to experience my super power.
"I never realized how this childlike imagination would affect the years to come. In 2005, I was at a speaking engagement when a fighter pilot named Robin Stoddard, who represented a nonprofit organization called Wright Flight, approached me and asked if I would like to fly an airplane. My gut instinct was disinterest because of a fear of flying commercial airplanes. However, I couldn't pass it up. Wright Flight started me on my first few hours of flight training. I became addicted.
"Seventy-four hours of flight training later, when I flew over the city of San Manuel for the first time solo, I fulfilled the childhood dream of being Superwoman!"

Three Cool Things Thursday
This is totally on my birthday wish-list.
My daughter just turned 2 years old and I had a surprise guest for her... Cinderella! At this point there are so many pictures of her floating around, that I may as well open one up to the public from me. Here's my precocious Maria and her special birthday friend.
I've included this in Three Cool things because I wanted to tell you all about the FABULOUS Cinderella costume I had made by BitsNScraps. It is stunning and, best of all, made in the USA by a hardworking mom. If you're daughter is in need of a princess costume, call on Chelsea, the maven behind the business.
The other cool thing about this photo was the "Cinderella" I found via a thorough Google search. The company is Los Angeles based, so, this will only be helpful for a small percentage of you. However, Kalinda at Wishing Well Entertainment was a beautiful Princess who was so engaging and fun! She was extremely detailed about the character and knew exactly how to fill up her 30 minute visit and even lingered a bit longer. She sang and danced with the kids, told stories, did magic tricks and was extremely reasonably priced, I thought.
I highly recommend this company if you're looking for party entertainment.

Hi Joy your daughter is BEAUTIFUL! Happy Late Bday Maria! :) <3ReplyDelete
Oh my good Lord Maria is simply ADORABLE. I actually haven't seen any other pictures of her other than the one you shared when she was born, but that could also be because I've never searched. I feel it's your business to share as many or as little pictures of your daughter as you want. Everyone needs privacy and especially at the sake of your family, it should be respected. Thank you though for sharing this information, I will pass it along to my sister who has young ones and is always looking for creative birthday party ideas!ReplyDelete

My husband got me that book about Mariyn Monroe. It has some awesome things in it. It is just really cool to see things Marilyn wrote in her own handwriting. I can't wait to try your drink.

OAKLAND -- When families stroll with their children to Oracle Arena in Oakland on Thursday to see the opening show of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, the animal welfare organizations will also be there.
For Ringling Bros., the four-day circus performance is billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." For People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, and Humanity Through Education, the circus stands for "animal abuse in the name of entertainment." Both groups plan to protest in front of the ticket booths.
A handful of protesters demonstrated last week, when the circus came to the Cow Palace in Daly City. They held up placards with big letters that read, "Circus Animals suffer and die to entertain you."
Ryan Henning called the protesters uninformed extremists who have no idea what they are talking about. Henning, who has been an elephant trainer for eight years at Ringling Bros., said, "Ninety-nine point nine percent of the people come to the circus for the animals."
Ringling Bros. has more than 50 elephants, 23 of which were born at the Center for Elephant Conservation, founded in 1995 by the circus in Polk County, Fla. Only eight elephants, ages 27 to 54, will perform in the Oakland show.
The center "is our place for reproduction, research and retirement for the elephants," Henning said. All of the elephants "were raised in captivity like pets at home."
While on the road, the animals get fresh water, food and medical supplies 24 hours a day.
Henning, who cares for the largest herd of captive Asian elephants worldwide, said the average age for a Ringling Bros. elephant is 50 to 60.
"In the wilderness, it's 40 years," he said. "Every year, we spend more than $6 million for food and medical care."
The elephants perform in 450 shows each year around the United States. They are trained to make handstands, dance, roll on the ground and sit on stools holding their front legs in the air.
"They do not perform these and other difficult tricks because they want to, they perform because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't," wrote PETA President Ingrid Newkirk on the organization's website.
PETA has released videos that it says show Ringling Bros. trainers mistreating the elephants with bull hooks, which is an instrument that resembles a fireplace poker, before a show; it shows the elephants screaming in pain. PETA said it filmed these videos undercover.
Humanity Through Education, a national animal protection organization, published pictures of baby elephants laying down on the floor with all four of their legs stretched out. To get them to do that, the elephants' legs are tied with ropes, stretched out, and then they are dropped to the ground by trainers pulling on the ropes. The organization said baby elephants are wild animals, and to train them to do circus tricks they must be broke, by forcibly taking the babies from their mothers before they are weaned, and chaining them 23 hours a day while hitting them with bull hooks.
"Ringling shuffles these animals from city to city all year round, subjecting them to brutality and abuse," said Pat Cuviello, of Humanity Through Education.
"I have not seen the pictures and videos, but I know that such material exists," Henning said.
He said he doesn't know how old the pictures are or where they were taken.
"They have their opinion," Henning said. "I see the facts. I do everything to ensure that these guys are happy, healthy and safe."
He said in the eight years that he has worked for Ringling Bros., he has never used violence against the elephants.
"Elephants are playful animals," Henning said. He said some of the tricks they perform in the show, they also do in the wild, such as standing with their front legs on another elephant.
Moreover, he said, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regularly monitors the circus. During the past two months, there have been 30 inspections by city, state and federal inspectors.
But the animal rights activists are not convinced. They want all circus animals, including tigers, horses and zebras, to be excluded from the circus.

Porsche Cayenne car review
Saturday 19 January 2008
Ten Point Test
Auto Trader Ten Point Test rating: 80%
If you're looking for a sporty luxury SUV the Porsche Cayenne has got to be on your shortlist.
Named after a hot pepper this performance car comes in four flavours; Cayenne, Cayenne S, GTS and Turbo – or hot, hotter, very hot and hottest.
We test drove the standard model to give you the low-down on arguably Britain's spiciest SUV dish.
1. Looks 7/10
The Porsche Cayenne has not won everyone's hearts with its beefed-up performance stance. Porsche responded with new headlights, spoilers, mirrors and enlarged air scoops for the second generation model. It doesn't match the elegant simplicity of the German manufacturer's traditional sports cars and there are more attractive sporty SUVs. But if aggressive get-me-there-now looks are what you're after the Porsche Cayenne has them in spades.
2. Looks inside 8/10
The interior pulls off luxury and sporty with a combination of dark roof lining, monochrome dash and Porsche-embossed leather interior, although a beige colour scheme is also available. The information display is bold, simple, stylish and functional while the three spoke steering wheel and two central grab holds indicate you're in a car which means business off and on road. The dash is immediately identifiable as belonging in a Porsche, and the seats look and feel like quality products.
3. Practicality 8/10
There is 540 litres of boot space with all seats in place, which can be increased to a maximum 1,770 litres by tipping the rear seats – which fold flat to the floor. There's plenty of space in the cabin for oddments, and space in the front is excellent, although the rear has less room than we would have liked. Electric seats with lumbar support help ensure a comfortable driving position, especially on longer journeys.
4. Ride and Handling 9/10
Many SUV manufacturers tell you the experience of driving their vehicle "car-like" – but this one actually is. The drive is sharper than any SUV we have driven and meets the level of expectation set by the big Porsche badge in the middle of the steering wheel. The trade-off comes with a ride which doesn't feel like a traditional SUV, but it never becomes uncomfortable. Drivers can switch between standard and sports suspension at the push of a button. There are three further chassis settings: sports, normal and comfort for finer adjustment. So you can pick the ride and handling experience to suit your journey. But its difficult to forget the Cayenne's enormous girth.
5. Performance 10/10
Now we're talking. When Porsche facelifted the Cayenne in 2007, it increased engine performance while improving fuel consumption
The entry-level 3.6-litre V6 Cayenne we drove produces 290bhp, raising performance to produce headline figures of 0-62mph in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. We found the glorious-sounding V6 to offer massive overtaking potential and almost hot hatch-rivalling acceleration.
The next model in the range, the sportier 4.8-litre V8-engined Cayenne S sees performance improve further, with a 0-62mph time of just 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 156mph. The GTS packs a modified version of the same engine, increasing power to 405bhp for a 157mph top speed.
Topping the range is the Cayenne Turbo, which offers genuine supercar pace from its 500bhp 4.8-litre V8 engine. 0-62mph takes just 5.1 seconds and top speed is a massive 171mph.
The Cayenne and the Cayenne S models come with a slick six-speed manual gearbox as standard, with a Tiptronic semi-automatic as an option. The semi-auto is standard on the Turbo model. The Tiptronic model we drove responded smoothly and promptly to a variety of situations via the gearstick or the steering wheel-mounted buttons.
6. Running Costs 5/10
Strong demand for the Porsche Cayenne means used prices remain solid. Porsche says its Direct Fuel Injection has improved fuel economy by between eight and 15 per cent. However, motoring still does not come cheap with this level of performance. The Cayenne returns an average of 21.9mpg with the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo both returning 19mpg and the Cayenne GTS 18.7mpg. CO2 emissions for the Cayenne are 310g/km and 358g/km for the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo which lands all three models firmly within the highest car tax band G – meaning an annual bill of £300, rising to £400 from April 2008. Car insurance of Group 20 will also add to the bill.
7. Reliability 8/10
There are no Reliability Index figures for the Porsche Cayenne. However, the car feels sturdy and built to the quality one would expect.
8. Safety 7/10
Each Porsche Cayenne comes with six airbags and a range of passive safety features to reduce the chances of an accident. At the centre of the safety system is Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) which eliminates body roll. Other safety kit includes a traction management system to supply grip where it is most needed on and off-road and a stability management system which works together with anti-lock brakes and brake assist. The Porsche Cayenne has not undergone EuroNCAP crash testing.
9. Equipment 8/10
All Cayennes come with alloy wheels, leather upholstery, air-conditioning, electric seats, traction control and a 12-speaker CD/radio. The Porsche Cayenne S adds 18-inch alloy wheels and climate control, the GTS adds sports seats, while the Turbo receives cruise control, headlight washers, heated seats and parking sensors. Further options include 19-inch, 20-inch and 21-inch alloy wheels in a variety of designs, panoramic glass roof, Porsche Communication Management (incorporating sat-nav and telephone) 14-speaker Bose system and DVD system. All buyers also receive a Porsche Driving Experience to help exploit the car's potential.
10. X-Factor 10/10
It isn't going to impress your environmentally-friendly mates; it's not won any beauty contests and motoring costs are high. But boy, is this car great to drive and the range of chassis options ensure you can relax in comfort mode every now and then.

Judge mulls release of machete killer's records
Steven Spader is serving a life sentence for fatal home invasion
A New Hampshire judge is considering whether to release medical and psychological records of the 21-year-old man convicted of wielding a machete in a deadly 2009 home invasion.
Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson heard arguments Thursday from media representatives and a prosecutor in favor of releasing court documents in the case of 21-year-old Steven Spader of Brookline. Spader is serving a life sentence for killing a Mont Vernon mother and maiming her daughter.
The records were compiled for a hearing on whether Spader's sentence should be reduced because he was under 18 at the time of the crimes. - in accordance with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory life sentences for juveniles amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
Spader instructed his lawyers not to argue for a lesser sentence.

Drilling for knowledge on huge regional aquifer
Hydrologists measure the untapped potential
Water that may be of high enough quality to drink is stored in a 350-square-mile underground layer that stretches from La Jolla to the international border and from about state Route 125 to west of the coastline. The big mystery is how much, how deep and whether it's worthwhile for public agencies to drill wells and pump it out.
For the past nine years, researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey have been trying to figure that out by studying the character and groundwater yield of the San Diego Formation, a significant regional aquifer. They're closing in on the much-awaited answers.
The aquifer is so potentially lucrative that it has led to a fight between the city of San Diego and the Chula Vista-based Sweetwater Authority over groundwater access. Groundwater accounts for about 2 percent of the county's water supply, because the area's rocky geology produces small yields.
Sweetwater officials want to drill more wells into the San Diego Formation as part of its expansion. San Diego city officials say the additional drilling would deplete the increasingly valuable resource, cause the land to sink unevenly and allow seawater intrusion.
Those claims mirror what federal hydrologists are examining in the most extensive study of the formation and of the unconsolidated sediment along the coast that includes the formation. The Sweetwater Authority and city of San Diego are among the agencies that helped fund the geological study.
"Our goal has been to understand and monitor those effects" if groundwater were to be extracted or recharged, said Wes Danskin, who has been leading the $10 million exploration.
Researchers also hope to create comprehensive documentation of what the most recent project update calls "a complex coastal biologic-hydrologic environment."
Federal hydrologists have installed 10 monitoring wells throughout San Diego County — in areas such as Balboa Park and the Otay River — to test the groundwater's quality and flow behavior. Most of the wells are at least 1,500 feet deep. Another is in progress and six more are planned throughout the region.
The San Diego Formation is a sandy rock layer that's about 1 million years old. Danskin said the formation's creation is "fairly recent" compared with other geological formations in the region.
Though it's called the San Diego Formation, it is by no means neat and distinguishable. Danskin likens it to a layer cake that's been dropped and the cream filling — the equivalent to groundwater — has mixed into neighboring layers.
That characteristic has made it difficult for researchers to study the formation's groundwater flow.
Understanding the flow behavior is crucial to understanding the risks of seawater intrusion and the gradual sinking of the Earth's surface above the formation, a process known as land subsidence.
Researchers say both will happen but the question is when and how much. It's also unclear whether the issues are serious enough to prevent agencies from drilling into the formation.
For example, researchers have discovered land subsidence so far amounts to about 1 centimeter.
"If it were feet, that would be cause for concern," Danskin said. "You can always shut down the wells if there is a concern."
The amount of groundwater the formation holds also is unknown at this point.
Sweetwater Authority officials, in their lawsuit against San Diego, believe the formation holds up to 1 million acre-feet of water. An acre-foot is enough water to serve two households for a year.
"You ask me how much water it holds, we just don't know yet," Danskin said.
He hopes to have most of the research summarized by late next year.

Causes of pneumothoraxThere are various causes of pneumothorax. Spontaneous pneumothorax, which usually occurs for no apparent reason, is six times more likely to occur in men than in women. Most often, it affects thin young adults who have no underlying lung disease; in many cases, it is thought to be due to rupture of a congenital blister at the top of the lung. There is a 30 percent chance of recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax, usually on the same side.
Pneumothorax may also be a complication of lung disease, particularly asthma or emphysema.
Traumatic pneumothorax may follow an injury, such as a fractured rib. It may also be caused accidentally when a catheter is inserted into a vein in the neck for intravenous feeding or to monitor pressure in the heart and circulation.
Symptoms of pneumothoraxA pneumothorax may cause chest pain or shortness of breath. The degree of breathlessness is proportional to the size of the pneumothorax. Any underlying lung disease will increase breathing difficulty. If there is continual leakage of air into the pleural cavity, the pneumothorax may become progressively bigger and produce a tension pneumothorax, which may become life-threatening because of compression of the heart.
Diagnosis and treatment of pneumothoraxA chest X-ray confirms the diagnosis. A small pneumothorax in a healthy adult usually disappears within a few days without treatment. A larger pneumothorax, or a small one in the presence of underlying lung disease, requires treatment.
Treatment usually involves removing the air from the pleural cavity through a suction tube inserted through the chest wall for several days. A small pneumothorax can be treated by drawing out the air through a needle and syringe. If the lung fails to expand, or if the pneumothorax recurs, surgery may be required to seal the pleural cavity.

Parking management in Vienna expanded
As of January 2013, the parking management system in Vienna was expanded to include further parts of the 14th, 16th and 17th districts. Applications for resident parking permits ("parking stickers") can be made online or directly from the municipal district office.
In general, everyone who has their main residence in one of the districts concerned (14, 16 and 17) may purchase a "parking sticker" for their respective district. Exceptions apply to the zone around Stadthalle, a very popular event venue. All applicants are given detailed information on where the parking sticker entitles them to park their car.
Restricted parking times
In the new zones, short-term parking restrictions apply Monday to Friday on workdays from 9 am to 7 pm. There are no restrictions on parking at weekends and on public holidays.
Residents obtaining a resident parking permit (parking sticker) are required to pay an annual charge plus administrative fees:
Parking management zones in the city map
Applying for a parking sticker
You can order a resident parking permit (parking stickers) online or directly from the municipal district office for your district. Businesses and employees working in a parking management zone can apply for exceptions. All provisions for business owners and employees that have been agreed with the Vienna Chamber of Commerce remain intact.
People who have an allotment garden ("Kleingarten") in a parking management zone can apply for a "seasonal parking sticker" that is valid for eight months, even if they do not have their primary residence in this district.
Revenues earmarked
All revenues from parking management are earmarked, i.e. 100 percent of the fees and charges paid, are set aside for the Vienna traffic and transport system and thus benefit everyone in Vienna. In the past years, the construction of all municipal neighbourhood parking garages ("Wohnsammelgaragen") has been financed from parking management revenues. The funds have also been used to purchase new underground trains, and go into measures that enhance traffic safety in particularly accident-prone locations in Vienna.
Zones of validity and entitlement zones
From the residents' point of view, there are two different zones in every district:
- The entitlement zone ("Berechtigungszone")
- This is the where you need to have your primary residence so you can purchase a resident parking permit (parking sticker). Generally, residents of the entire district are entitled to obtain a parking sticker, i.e. even if they live in a part of the district that is not subject to parking restrictions. The entitlement zone itself invariably includes the short-term parking zones but may also extend to nearby areas without short-term parking.
- The validity area ("Geltungsbereich")
- This is the area of the short-term parking zones in a given district where the parking sticker is valid, i.e. where you may park your car for an unlimited period of time after you have purchased a parking sticker for this district. To avoid any disadvantages for those living near the district boundary, the validity area is not restricted to your own district of residence as such, but includes the adjoining roads in one or several neighbouring districts (overlap areas).

The state-funded Home Modification Loan Program provides loans to make access and safety modifications to the primary, permanent residence of elders, adults with disabilities, and families with children with disabilities. Such modifications allow people to remain in their homes and live more independently in their communities.
The proposed modifications must relate to the functional limitation of the beneficiary as documented by a professional with whom there is a client history. This program is not a home repair program. Some examples of projects funded through this program include ramps, hardwired alarm systems and other safety modifications, as well as accessible bathrooms and kitchens.
There are six agencies throughout the state that administer the program for the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC).
Based on the income guidelines, up to $30,000 (inclusive of all costs) may be borrowed in either a deferred payment loan (DPL) or an amortized loan, which is secured by a promissory note and a mortgage, except in cases of loans that are under $2,500 which are only secured by the promissory note. An HMLP loan may be obtained only one time per property. Borrowers may not come back for more funding for the same property once their project is complete.
Homeowners eligible for a 0% DPL will not have to repay the loan until the property is sold or has its title transferred. 3% DPL or 3% amortizing loans must be repaid in 5 to 15 years, depending on the amount of the loan, and require monthly payments.
As of January 2012, more than 1500 loans equaling more than $33 million have been made since 2000, with the average loan being a little more than $22,000. Almost 80 percent of those loans are no interest loans. The modifications that have been completed with these loan funds include 554 bathrooms, which have been altered to meet the needs of resident, and 575 ramps and/or lifts have been installed. Modifications have been made in 227 of the 351 communities across the Commonwealth. The funding for the projects comes from the state capital bond fund allocated annually by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Administration and Finance.

When Two Weddings Are Better Than One
By Polya Lesova
Wedding are beautiful, festive, joyful affairs. They are also stressful, expensive and emotionally draining. I had two of them (to the same man.)
It turns out my husband Paul and I are not alone in making that decision. As the Journal reports on Thursday, more couples are choosing to have two weddings. They make that choice for many reasons: because they come from different parts of the country, belong to different religions or are of different races or ethnicities. Couples may also opt for two weddings in order to balance their own preferences with the expectations of their families; some, for instance, may dream of a destination wedding on a tropical island while their parents prefer a more traditional wedding back home.
For Paul and me, picking a single wedding location was not straightforward. We met and fell in love in New York, but I come from Bulgaria and Paul hails from New Jersey. To add an extra layer of excitement and complication, we moved to Germany a few months after our engagement in 2009. After much consideration, we decided to get married in Bulgaria in June 2010. We were already living in Europe, but, more important, my 75-year-old grandmother had never set foot on a plane. I could not imagine not having her at my wedding and I couldn't tolerate forcing her to fly.
When we sent the invitations, we expected only Paul's closest family members to make the trip to Bulgaria. But to our delight, many guests saw the prospect of going to a wedding in Bulgaria as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience another culture. More than 30 American friends and relatives attended, and some came from as far away as Thailand and Afghanistan.
In the end, and organized with the tremendous help of my family, it was an epic wedding, replete with numerous Bulgarian traditions. Paul "bargained" for me with my relatives (in Bulgaria, the groom traditionally arrives at the bride's home before the ceremony and has to persuade her family to let him in, usually by offering small gifts and money), a troupe of folk musicians serenaded us, we had an Orthodox Christian ceremony in a beautiful church (and we got to wear crowns, which are always part of an Orthodox Christian ceremony and which Paul thoroughly enjoyed).
That was followed by an outdoor civil-wedding ceremony, which was followed by dancing, drinking and eating until the early hours of the morning.
A few months after we recovered from that event, we started discussing whether to have a second wedding in New Jersey. We were still living in Europe and were both juggling new positions at work, so it seemed overwhelming at first to contemplate planning another wedding. In the end, we decided that what we cared about most is recognizing Paul's extended family and our close friends who had not been able to come to Bulgaria. We had the second wedding over a year after the first, but the timing did not make it any less special.
Paul's parents and his brother's family graciously did all the hard work to organize it; putting up a tent in the back yard of Paul's brother's house in New Jersey. Paul's dad led a beautiful ceremony that was akin to vow renewal. I wore my wedding dress again and Paul donned his tuxedo, and we celebrated another beautiful day.
Every couple makes the best choice that fits their own circumstances. We chose to have two weddings because we wanted to honor relatives and friends on two continents. And one party just wouldn't do.

An old colleague of mine put me on to TED a few years back, he showed me the legendary talk by Ken Robinson about Education. It's fair to say I was impressed.
The fact that this fantastic content is all available for free on their, superb, website is amazing as many inferior organisations would charge a small fortune as a consultancy for poorer content. If you want inspiration on almost any topic, TED.com is worth a visit.
Amongst its amazingly thought provoking presentations are several about the various facets of marketing. Interestingly, I also noticed several of the subject themes I have learnt from TED within my last post about customer service so its only fair to reference a few of them.
Here's my 3 favourites that are well worth watching.
Adding value to your offering – Rory Sutherland
This is one of the best marketing style presentations I've watched online and I really wish I had been shown it whilst studying for my Marketing Degree. It explores where the actual perceived value of a product comes from and how you can add to it through intangible assets.
His example about improving the rail link between London and Paris (about 2 minutes in) was the light bulb moment for me finally realising what Porters Value Chain was actually all about.
Watch it.
Ideas that spread, Win – Seth Godin
I make no apologies for my love of Seth Goding.
He makes interesting, insightful points in an entertaining, thought provoking and concise way.
This talk is no different but what is impressive is that is was made in 2003.
Nearly 10 years ago and yet if it was delivered yesterday it would still seem incredible relevant.
It has some amazing sound bites and quotes but my favourite is about classifying todays shoppers as having
'More choices and less time'
This is exactly the daily situation consumer product companies have in today's world. Make your product remarkable.
