Malaysia Seeks Philippine Help In Tracking Kidnapped Tourist
Malaysian police are cooperating with Philippine authorities to secure the release of a Taiwanese woman and arrest the killer of her male companion shot on an island off the eastern state of Sabah popular with divers and foreign tourists.
National police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said terrorists based in the southern Philippines were responsible for Friday's attack on Pom Pom Island.
"We're working very closely with Philippine authorities to ensure the safety of the victim and we're taking all the necessary steps," Mr. Khalid told reporters Monday.
He declined to say whether any ransom demand has been made or identify the kidnappers. In recent years, the Philippine Islamist group Abu Sayyaf, backed by al-Qaeda, has been involved in the kidnapping of foreign tourists.
"The safety of the victim is our priority and we cannot give you more details. This is not your ordinary kidnappers but a group of terrorists," he added.
The incident follows a security crisis in the state earlier this year when a band of around 200 Filipino Muslim insurgents called the Royal Sulu Army invaded a coastal district of Lahad Datu. Dozens of security personnel and intruders died in the February conflict, and Malaysia boosted its security presence around the district in response.
In 2000, Abu Sayyaf raised $15 million from kidnapping mainly foreign tourists in the Malaysian resort of Sipadan, near Pom Pom Island where the latest deadly incident happened. The group became well-known for kidnappings and struck again in May 2001, and teamed up with militants in neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia, including members of the Indonesia-based Jemaah Islamiyah group, which orchestrated the 2002 Bali bombings that killed over 200 people.
A security guard working in the resort found the man in pool of blood after hearing gunshots in the wee hours of Friday, according to the police. His female companion was missing, believed to have been abducted by the heavily-armed gunmen, police say.
The hostage, Chang An-wei, is still safe, Taiwan's Central News Agency reported Monday, citing Taiwanese Foreign Minister David Lin. Mr. Lin didn't elaborate on the woman's condition.
Taiwan has issued an "orange" travel alert for the Malaysian state, the second highest level under its four-color travel advisory system.

Another Liverpool player on the chopping board
Liverpoolâ??s second choice goalkeeper Charles Itandje is set to leave after only a season at the club. Itâ??s believed that the FA Cup Winners, Portsmouth, is looking at the possibility of signing him as a back-up for David James. Rennes are also interested in the 25-year-old goalkeeper. However, itâ??s likely that heâ??ll return to his former club, Lens, who have just been relegated. Itandje never featured in any league games last season, and only played in cup games...

Only thought I have is, if it is true that Pompy are interested, do they think they can do for another mistake prone Liverpool keeper, what they did with David James? From Calamity James, to England number one. Maybe we should hang on to the jumpy Frenchman?

Biden in 2016? The inauguration is barely over but the vice president already is dropping plenty of hints that he might have another political act. Biden packed his schedule with events and receptions attended by party stalwarts throughout the long weekend of inauguration festivities, stoking speculation he may be laying the groundwork to carry the torch from Obama.

Health Care Category Wins for First Time in History of Baldrige Awards
(May 21, 2003) -- SSM Health Care (SSMHC), a St. Louis-based not-for-profit health system of hospitals and other health-related entities, has become the first health care organization in the country to be named a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) winner. SSMHC was one of 17 health care institutions to apply for the MBNQA.
In Wisconsin, SSMHC sponsors St. Marys Hospital and St. Marys Care Center in Madison and St. Clare Hospital and Health Services and St. Clare Meadows Care Center in Baraboo. SSMHC of Wisconsin also manages Boscobel Area Health Care in Boscobel and is affiliated with Columbus Community Hospital in Columbus and Stoughton Hospital in Stoughton. SSMHC has a limited affiliation with Upland Hills Health Center in Dodgeville.
The award, which is given by the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the top honor a U.S. company can receive for quality management and quality achievement. Each year, the Commerce Department selects up to three organizations in the categories of manufacturing, service, small business, education and health care for the award.
"SSM Health Care is a role model of world-class excellence and has achieved extraordinary results," Commerce Secretary Don Evans said in announcing the decision. "The men and women of this organization represent the highest ethical standards in public responsibility and corporate citizenship. I am particularly pleased to join the President in announcing a first-time winner in health care."
Vice President Richard B. Cheney presented the crystal award to Sr. Mary Jean Ryan FSM, president/CEO, and fifty other representatives from SSM Health Care May 21, 2003, including Mary Starmann-Harrison, president/CEO of SSM Health Care of Wisconsin.
"This award," said Sr. Mary Jean Ryan, "is a wonderful recognition of the excellent performance of our employees and physicians and of their strong commitment to their mission – to reveal the healing presence of God through our exceptional health care services."
"The Baldrige model," said Mary Starmann-Harrison, regional president and CEO of SSMHC of Wisconsin, "has been instrumental in helping us achieve our mission, because we have been using it for seven and a half years to improve the care we provide to those we serve."
Congress established the MBNQA in 1987 to recognize U.S. organizations for their achievements in quality and business performance and to raise awareness about the importance of quality and performance excellence as a competitive edge. Winning organizations are considered world-class role models in their industry. The U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) manages the Baldrige National Quality Program.
SSMHC applied for the award in May with a 50-page application and found out in September that it would receive a site visit the week of October 28. The site visits included comprehensive visits to the corporate office in St. Louis and more than 17 facilities in the four states in which SSMHC operates. The purpose of these visits, which took place at all hours of the day, was to verify and clarify information included in the application. Baldrige examiners spoke with more than 800 employees and physicians throughout the system.
Although the MBNQA is a significant milestone, the award is one component of SSMHC's 12-year continuous quality improvement (CQI) efforts, which are ongoing across the system and in its individual entities.
Baldrige performance excellence criteria are widely accepted in the United States and around the world as the standard for performance excellence. Seven categories make up the criteria – leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resource focus, process management and business results. For many organizations, using the criteria results in better employee relations, higher productivity, greater customer satisfaction, increased market share and improved operating performance.
Organizations receiving the Baldrige award have included: Boeing Airlift and Tanker Programs, Merrill Lynch Credit Corp., Xerox Business Services, AT&T Consumer Communications Services, Eastman Chemical Co., the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Federal Express Corp., Cadillac Motor Car Division, Motorola Inc. and Westinghouse Electric Corp.
For more information on SSMHC and the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, please check out the MBNQA media center on SSMHC's Web site at www.ssmhc.com or the NIST Web site at www.nist.gov.

Unethical media practices by Neth FMCOLOMBO, MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS, PEACE AND CONFLICT, POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE, RELIGION AND FAITH Unethical media practices by Neth FM Photo courtesy The Star On June 14th, 2016 the 'Balumgala' news programme on Neth FM sought to discuss the construction of a mosque at Sri Maha Vihara Road, Kalubowila, Dehiwela. We reproduce below a letter written by a civil society body with regard to what they call 'unethical media practices' by Neth FM. Of particular concern is the failure on the part of the presenters to interview any Muslim member of the congregation or a trustee of the mosque. The Balumgala of June 14th, 2016 is reflective of a general problem of a failure on the part of the Sinhala language print and electronic media to give fair coverage to Muslim related news stories and features. July 10th, 2016 The Managing...Read More...
Keeping that Spark AliveBy: Sister S Bemath We enrolled 30 days in a course called Ramadhaan to reach "Taqwah"(Fear of Allah Ta'ala Ta'ala). It was a time of renewal and re-establishment of our commitment to our Beloved ALLAH TA'ALA and HIS beautiful Deen-ul-Islaam. Al-Hamdulillah! Many have graduated with flying colours – embracing them with positive Deeni (Islamic)changes. Now is a crucial time to put it into practice! We fasted, gave charity, read the Qur'aan Kareem and performed the night especially the last ten, standing in prayer before ALLAH TA'ALA. We avoided gossip, slander and every evil that would invalidate our fasting. But now that Ramadhaan has bid us farewell, many of us, regrettably, will put the Qur'aan Kareem back on the shelves, will suspend fasting until next year and will abandon the night prayer. This is not the way it should...
Fasting in ShawwalKeeping the six fasts of Shawwal after keeping the fasts of Ramadaan equals to 360 days of fasting Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansaari Radhiyallahu Anhu mentions that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: "Whoever observed the fasts of Ramadhan, then follows them with the fasts of six days in the Month of Shawwal, he will be rewarded as if he fasted for the entire year."(Muslim) Note: The reward of each good deed is multiplied at least ten times. Therefore, thirty days of fast in Ramadaan equals three hundred days and the six fast of Shawwal equal sixty days. Thus, totalling to three hundred and sixty days, which is the total amount of days in a lunar year. --

Read More...Attitude leads to Altitude!!!www.eislam.co.za Ayoob was the kind of person who would always amaze you. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Ayoob was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day Ayoob was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Ayoob and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Ayoob replied, "Each...Read More...The parents of the Hafidh will be honored on the Day of JudgmentThe Holy Quran is the sacred Word of Allah Most High.

The responsibility to do so was assigned to the scholars of that nation as given in the following verse of Surah Maida: …And the divines and the rabbis because they were assigned to safeguard the Book of Allah….Surah Maaida (5:44) As the Holy Quran was revealed to the last and Final Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and its rules and precepts are to remain until the end of time, Allah Most High undertook this responsibility Himself.

After a month of sacrifice, Allah Ta'ala takes it upon Himself to reward His faithful servants. Allah Ta'ala is the Most Generous and Most Benevolent. Indeed Allah Ta'ala's Generosity multiplies in Ramadaan. When Allah Ta'ala sees His servants carry out all their duties faithfully and strive to gain closeness to Him through fasting ,salaat (prayer) ,patience,recitation of Quraan ,zikr ,dua ,and controlling of even permissible desires and needs like food, drink etc. then Allah Ta'ala bestows on His faithful servants a special prize on the night preceding the day...Read More...The Prize Giving!By Abdur Rahmaan Umar "What!

I mean who schedules a prize giving for the night before Eid." "But ma...that's what Moulana(Sheikh) said today. That there definitely is a prize giving," whispered Ahmed, cowering behind a chair in case another barrage of carrots was launched. "Which Moulana? And why don't they think!" she continued, pausing just long enough to heave another heavy sigh, "We have so much to do the night before Eid.

Could someone please check again the copyright status of some these pdfs?
IMSLP #02154 says it is from sheetmusicarchive.net , and that it is public domain.
The home page for sheetmusicarchive.net (accessed 6 June 2007) contains the statement
- Download free editions* of public domain classical music by the following composers:
The * takes us to a footnote at the bottom which states
- *Note: PDF files made by the SMA are copyrighted by SheetMusicArchive.net, and may not be sold, re-distributed, or used to derive other PDF files, without express written authorization.
This seems to imply that although the sheetmusic which sheetmusicarchive.net scanned in was itself public domain, the actual PDF files generated from this sheetmusic are copyright by sheemusicarchive.net.
IMSLP #02054: is from Sibley Music Library. Could someone likewise check the copyright status on that.

Oracle Content Management: Optimizing Accounts Payable
By Brian Dirking on May 31, 2011
If you are just getting started in automating invoice processing and accounts payable, a great webinar to listen to is this one with Jamie Rancourt of Oracle: Optimize Accounts Payable Through Automated Invoice Processing. Jamie goes through the steps to automation, and shows how a content management system to store the imaged invoices enables fast lookup to confirm payments, addresses, and invoice numbers.
Jamie also shows how some companies automate the capture process and extract information from the invoice in the process of moving it from a paper format to an electronic format. By automating this process, companies can cut as much as 90% of their invoice processing costs, and they can improve their accuracy. Offerings like Oracle's Content Management Solutions provide a way to extract content such as invoice number, amount, tax and other data, and then automatically pair it with the correct invoice and enter the data in Oracle E-Business Suite or in Oracle PeopleSoft.
The webinar also profiles some customer examples, including Home Depot and Costco. Both of these organizations process thousands of invoices daily.
What are your criteria for choosing an imaging solution for accounts payable?

Genomic medicine, sometimes also known as personalized medicine, is a way to customize medical care to your body's unique genetic makeup. Each of the cells in the body contains DNA, the molecules you inherit from your parents that determine how your body looks and functions. DNA is arranged like a twisted ladder, with information stored in the arrangement, or sequence, of the rungs. Sections of the DNA ladder that contain information needed to make proteins are known as genes. The entire structure is the genome. A nearly complete map of the DNA sequence was completed in 2003, and since then, scientists have worked to understand how each gene functions and how it is coordinated with every other gene. The human genome may contain 20 000 to 23 000 genes.
Everyone responds to stress and the environment differently, and they also respond to disease and to treatments differently. Although greater than 99% of a DNA sequence is identical from person to person, the last 1% helps to explain these differences. Different people may have small variations in specific genes, and some people may have genes that others do not. These may increase susceptibility to a specific disease or provide protection from that illness. Scientists continue to discover new ways that subtle gene differences cause large differences in health. This understanding can lead to better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat many types of health conditions.
Graphic Jump Location
Genomic medicine describes these efforts. Although genomic medicine is early in development, some areas where it has shown promise include
Risk assessment—for instance, women with a BRCA gene mutation (variation) are at higher risk of developing breast cancer than those without the mutation.
Early detection—individuals with mutations in genes that increase risk of colon cancer benefit from earlier and more frequent screening for colon cancer.
Diagnosis—for some types of heart disease, detection of a gene mutation can lead to diagnosis and treatment that can prevent sudden cardiac death before any symptoms occur.
Prognosis—for many types of cancer, including some types of lung cancer and leukemia, presence or absence of specific mutations means a higher likelihood of survival.
Tailored treatment—it is now understood that some of the variability in how people respond to medications is explained by the way their bodies interact with the drugs. The field of pharmacogenomics seeks to understand these differences. For some medications, identifying individual gene differences can help customize both the selection of medications and dosing for the best response.
There are many aspects to genomic medicine that society must consider. For instance, if a gene mutation causes a disease with no known treatment, does it make sense to test individuals for that mutation before they have symptoms? Also, some mutations cause an increased risk of illness, but that risk increase is very small in comparison with risks of other factors like diet and exercise. Does it make sense to test individuals for these types of changes when the change may not cause harm? How should this information be used? It is illegal for health insurance companies and employers to use genetic information to limit eligibility, set premiums, or discriminate against individuals without symptoms.

YOU probably know that Toyota is one of the worlds most prolific maker of cars, but I bet you don't know that its commercial products are just as successful on the global stage. Although to some the firm's popular Land Cruiser has a foot in both camps, there's no mistaking the Hilux pick-up as a genuine commercial workhorse.
Around the world this pick-up is something of a legend. Not only will you find it on a building site, but you'll also find it in some of the most inhospitable places, being used and generally abused by all and sundry.
For many people the Hilux is more than just a vehicle; it enables them to reach the next village a few hundred miles away, transport valuable supplies and ensure that they don't get stranded in the middle of nowhere.
And it's this last quality that has afforded the Hilux such a wide fanbase. Toyota is synonymous with reliability and durability, and the chunky all-rounder is reliability and durability personified.
With all this talk, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the Hilux is a dull, characterless tool. Not so. In its latest incarnation Toyota's pick-up boasts rounded corners, high levels of refinement and SUV-like responsiveness.
Even though the recent mushrooming in popularity of 'lifestyle' picks-up has abated, current buyers understandably expect high levels of comfort and refinement from their working vehicles. Hardly an unreasonable demand considering many will spend countless hours behind the wheel each day.
This latest revision offers prospective buyers a pleasing mix of rounded, SUV-like exterior looks and a familiar car-like ambience for occupants. On the outside, the Hilux gains a restyled nose, which runs to a new bonnet, grille, headlamps and bumper. Flagship Invincible variants also get new wheel designs plus new side steps.
This softer appearance is carried over inside the Hilux's cabin, with the pick-up's fascia boasting a more car-like design bringing it closer in style to Toyota existing passenger cars. And maintaining the car theme, a prominent colour touchscreen plus sat-nav, Bluetooth and USB connectivity is available for HL3 and Invincible variants.
It's fair to say the Hilux's SUV-like driving characteristics are part of its appeal, as is a car-like interior complete with car-like creature comforts and safety kit. Then there are the diesel engines. The Hilux is available with a choice of 2.5 and 3.0-litre units, producing 142bhp and 169bhp respectively. Curiously it's a dead heat on the torque front (343lb ft) if you opt for a manual gearbox, while the latter with an auto 'box is upped to 360lb ft.
In the real world the 2.5-litre model proves to be more than capable even when loaded. The engine feels punchy enough on inclines and is also happy to chug along at low revs on the motorway. There's certainly no shortage of torque to enable stress-free travel over muddy terrain or when you need to tow something. The five-speed manual gearbox might appear on paper to be missing a gear, but the ratios are well spaced and the shift action slick even if the lever's throw is a little long.
Thanks to a decent stereo, airbags, electric windows and anti-lock brakes you're well looked after and the Hilux's overall refinement ensures that driver fatigue is kept to a minimum on long journeys.
But let's not forget the real reason you'll find yourself driving a Hilux: it's a tough, capable workhorse. Crucially, access to the rear deck is straightforward and there's no shortage of space for even the most unusual of cargo. Securing said load and shielding it from prying eyes is possible thanks to a wealth of dealer and third party options, while the double cab variant offers just enough room for extra passengers when you need to carry not just supplies but humans too.
The Hilux is a pick-up you can use day in, day out without feeling like it's a big compromise. Safe, economical, reliable and good value, the single and extra cab variants might be the traditional workhorses but the 2.5-litre Double Cab successfully bridges the gap if you want to combine utility and all-round usability in one attractive package.
Model: Toyota Hilux 2.5 D-4D HL3 Double Cab, from £18,958 plus VAT.
Engine: 2.5-litre diesel unit developing 144bhp.
Transmission: 5-speed manual transmission as standard, driving all four wheels through switchable 4x4 system.
Performance: Maximum speed 106mph, 0-62mph 13.3 seconds.
Economy: 38.7mpg.
CO2 Rating: 194g/km.

Definición de haecceity en inglés:
sustantivo[mass noun] Philosophy
1That property or quality of a thing by virtue of which it is unique or describable as 'this (one)'.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- For historical reasons, such a property is called a haecceity -- literally, a 'thisness.'
- Understanding concepts in his philosophy (eg., faciality, virtuality, haecceity, types of becoming, and rhizome) is important as they provide to entry points into some of the issues under examination.
- Although it might seem to be a highly fanciful notion, it is hardly more fanciful than some haecceity theories which employ the same distinction, nor perhaps than some possible worlds theories either.
1.1The property of being a unique and individual thing: he has a paramount concern with haecceity, the thisness of things
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- It is the entire assemblage in its individuated aggregate that is a haecceity; it is this assemblage that is defined by a longitude and a latitude, by speeds and affects, independently of forms and subjects, which belong to another plane.
- There's the haecceity, the isness, the standing reserve, that's one thing: the world.
- The haecceity of a thing is what makes this particular thing what it is in particular.
Mid 17th century: from medieval Latin haecceitas, from Latin haec, feminine of hic 'this'.

There's an old saying that luck happens when preparation and opportunity meet. Here's the breakdown:
What is preparation? To me, preparation is a mindset, a discipline. Preparation just doesn't occur 2 weeks before tryouts in October, preparation begins in the quiet month of April after the hoopla of march madness all the way though until October. Preparation is weights at 6am, running by 8am and shooting by 10am. Preparation is your lifestyle choices, preparation means you are a full time student of the game, preparation happens when no one is watching, preparation is hard.
Preparation is a responsibility, Preparation is a way of life.
A moment in time when you are given a chance to perform a task that benefits something larger than you, a chance to take the next step in your career, a chance to embrace sweaty palms and have the confidence to overcome a new challenge. Opportunity hides. Opportunity is inevitable, it will knock on your door.
Opportunity is unknown, sneaky and invisible. Opportunity is your future…
Have you struggled making the team before, or made the team but rode the bench? How are you planning on changing that? October will come, faster than you think and only you can change the status quo.
Eventually your name will be called, the whistle will blow and your opportunity will be your present, how you have prepared will determine your future.
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail" # -Coach John Wooden
All serious basketball players work hard right? (key term here is: serious). All good shooters can make 65/100 3′s, right?
We all play on sweet AAU teams, we all lift wieghts down at the rec center and hit the gym to shoot our shots afterwards, right?
Sounds like a full schedule of basketball, man we must be working really hard, what a great work ethic we have. We all do it, so why do only some of us stand out? Why do only some of us get college scholarships?
Luck? maybe a little bit.
With a little hard work, you know the standard amount; It's easy to go from 50/100 to 65/100 in 3′s but why is it so hard to go from 65 to 80/100….consistently?
If all you're doing is the standard amount, all you're going to get is the standard result. The hard part is the last 8% and yes even the last 1%, everyone is already doing the standard amount, if we practice enough we can all hit 65 made 3′s out of 100, but that's not going to make us stand out from a crowded market. The hard part is getting to 80 on a consistent basis, now you're in an exclusive club that only 1% of your peers are in…does this give you a better opportunity of getting a college scholarship? I think so!
Which part of your game is in the 1% club?
Notice the key words I used: "we all do this" "we all can shoot 65%", be the one that says "only I can shoot 80%!"
Did the And1 mix-tape era ruin some players?
A few minutes ago I just got done speaking with a young player overseas and he shared with me he was online looking for good 1on1 moves to practice and only kept getting highlight video's of the and1 mix-tape tour.
His response to me was this: "These aren't legal are they"? "They seem ridiculous"
I had to laugh because they are ridiculous but also very entertaining. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch guys with cool nicknames throwing it off each other's faces then off the backboard for a reverse dunk?
But speaking to him made me think of the possible influence it may have had on many young ball players looking for an identity, looking for something to hold on to and believe in, looking for guidance. The appeal of And1 can be addicting, all the flare and excitement can make you want to play like that.
For those of us who are veterans of the game, we know this to be what it is, an entertaining lie. But the question is, what did the young players think of it as? Reality?
You betcha! I can speak from first hand experience on this one, I grew up at the height of the And1 mix-tape and had several teammates (both high school and AAU) train and do drills straight from the And1 mix tape tours. They truly thought this was the best way to invest their time and energy. So yes, they could do really high cross-overs and fancy behind the back spin moves or even pretend to fake you out by thinking they threw the ball behind your back, looked awesome without any defense.
The harsh reality was that these moves won't and can never be effective in a real live game with decent defenders. First off, 98% of the moves are illegal and second off they always led to a turnover.
The point is this, don't be fooled by the glitz and glamor of our game and don't try to be like anyone else. Seek out knowledge from knowledgeable sources and they will tell you what I have always told you, fundamentals and skill development are still king on the hardwood.
Who here has failed trying to complete a move they couldn't do for the sake of showing off? I know I have and it seems like trying and failing is the best medicine for not trying it again? What do you think?
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
What does the 'Flying V' and a flock of geese have to do with this site, your basketball career, success of your team and your life beyond athletics?
Well, I am going to tell you:
Take a few minutes to observe a flock of geese in flight and you'll understand. One goose flies at the front of the V, fighting wind resistence and putting in the effort so that the flock can fly further and achieve more than any of them could on their own, being the leader of the flock is difficult and exhausting therefore one goose can only take the lead for a short amount of time, the geese rotate the leader of the V ever so often to share the burden of fighting the wind. Without a cohesive, well-structured plan where all the geese buy into the system, the flying V will fail.
The individual goose must establish trust with his/her peers within the flock, without trust and teamwork the objective of the flying V cannot be sustained.
Here are some concrete idea's we can learn from the flock.
Have you ever thought of yourself as a goose?
A special weekend post:
In honor of Mother's Day, I have asked a sport's mom who is a regular reader of iA to be a guest contributer and write about her experience bringing up two athletes (basketball players) in her family, this is her story unedited!
From a very early age, we knew our sons were going to play basketball, it was in their blood and they were talented. They were very fortunate to have very good coaching, and a gym at their disposal, which helped them develop their skills. As parents, it is our responsibility to discover what talent lies within our children and then do whatever is necessary to develop that talent. Whether the talent is music, or art, or athletics, knowing what they are good at, is half the battle. We were always very supportive of our sons. From their very first game at the YMCA (2nd grade), to their last college game, we were always there for them. We never missed a game and always made sure they were on time for games and practices.
Developing their self esteem was crucial and basketball did that for our sons.
Motivating our boys was actually easy…they loved the sport; they worked hard during the regular season, and more importantly the off season. But they needed us to show legitimate interest in their activities, always attending games, asking those important questions, and providing the financial support that developing their talent would need.
They needed approval, positive words, smiles, and letting them know that we recognize their improvements. We NEVER allowed Coach trashing. They were taught that all adults were to be treated with respect, and we were very lucky to have very good coaches in their lives.
We as parents enjoyed every minute of watching our sons play basketball, and the success they enjoyed during their playing days. We have watched them grow into positive, hard working young men, and playing an organized sport for much of their lives helped get them there.
One of my favorite words in raising an athlete, is the word "we "."We will work on it", or "We can do better next time", these are positive statements and gives out the message that we are all in this journey together.
Parents, I promise when using the term; "we", when talking to their kids, will see a positive change in their child's habits and performances. To parents just starting out, enjoy the ride, be always positive, and always be there for them, ask questions and make sure that what they are doing is making them happy and leading them in the right direction towards becoming an adult.
Have fun and enjoy the experience, I know we did.
Happy Mother's Day from the iA family!
Congratulations, you have been appointed as CEO of a new start up company, the mission statement of your new company is "reach my potential and make good decisions", its simple but compelling and this takes thoughtful planning and ingenuity as a young Chief Executive.
You have to look at your career as if you're running a business, all decisions go through you and all outcomes are because of you, you are the only employee of your company. You have to do the accounting, the marketing, the sales, the R/D, and develop your product.
Every company needs partnerships, we all need help from others to achieve our objectives, your partners are your teammates, you need your partners to reach your goals, so treat them fairly, work hard for them as you simultaneously help them achieve their objectives and trust they will provide the assistance you need.
Every company needs investors, people with resources that provide you every opportunity to reach your objective. These are your parents/guardians. How many times have your parents drove 45 min to take you to
AAU practice, spent $400 on a summer camp, and bought you those $120 NIKE's? They are investing in your future, the same goes with Angel investors or Venture Capital Companies looking to invest in a small startup company.

Definition of inn in English:
- The grand resort hotels, smaller inns, and boarding houses were concentrated on the region's many lakes, nowhere more so than on the two large lakes on the region's eastern edge.
- We have our choice of lovely motels, hotels, and inns.
- Petitioners are therefore unlikely to be able to afford stay in hotels or inns while they do their rounds of visits.
- The Dublin pub, inn or tavern has a history which is as old as the city itself.
- At night, luxuriate at charming inns, sampling Scotch whisky.
- Until the end of the nineteenth century the majority of darts thrown in inns and taverns in this country and utilised in fairgrounds were imported from France.
Old English (in the sense 'dwelling place, lodging'): of Germanic origin; related to in. In Middle English the word was used to translate Latin hospitium (see hospice), denoting a house of residence for students: this sense is preserved in the names of some buildings formerly used for this purpose, notably Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn, two of the Inns of Court. The current sense dates from late Middle English.
An inn was originally any dwelling place or lodging. The word is related to in—an inn is a place you live or stay in. Medieval translators used it for Latin hospitium, meaning 'a residence for students'. This survives in the Inns of Court in London, the buildings of the four legal societies with the exclusive right of admitting people to the English bar. The usual modern sense of 'a public house' dates from the late Middle Ages—an inn specialized in providing accommodation and refreshment for travellers, as opposed to a tavern [ME, from Latin taberna], which was just for drinking. Inmate (late 16th century) was probably originally an 'inn mate' and was initially a person who shared a house, specifically a lodger or subtenant. In the 16th and 17th centuries there were strict by-laws about harbouring poor people as inmates: this was a practice that caused the number of local paupers to increase.

Cash can buy happiness, sometimes
It's an age-old question: Can money truly buy us happiness?
Ryan T. Howell, a San Francisco State University researcher and associate professor of psychology, is putting that question to the public.
Howell, 38, and his colleagues host a website, BeyondthePurchase.org, that offers a free series of psychology quizzes designed to help us understand why we buy stuff and whether it makes us happier or not.
Here's an excerpt from a recent interview with Howell:
Q Can money buy us happiness?
A Of course. No question that money can buy you happiness. Nobody has ever shown there's zero correlation between money and happiness. But it's surprisingly weaker than we would expect.
Money's biggest impact is financial security, your lack of worry. But if you blow it on a poor (spending) decision, that's detrimental. Money might not buy you happiness if you spend it wrong.
Q How does your site work, and what's behind the name?
A Our mission at BeyondThePurchase.org is to help people understand the relationship between money and happiness. To learn about what might be influencing how you spend your money. We ask people to register (for free), and then they can take any of our 30 happiness quizzes, as well as consumer psychology surveys and personality tests. After each quiz, we provide personalized feedback and happiness tips.
Q When it comes to spending money, your site makes the point that it's not necessarily how much you spend but what you're doing and who you're doing it with. So unless you're a sports nut, happiness doesn't depend on sitting in luxury seats behind home plate at a baseball game, correct?
A Exactly. How much you spend has very little to do with your happiness. Everyone's values are different. When I get organic eggs at the farmers market, I pay more. But I feel better about buying them, I feel they're higher quality, I enjoy their taste. But those same values wouldn't make my dad happier, so he shouldn't buy the eggs.
Q We all make mistakes in buying things we think we need or want, but that wind up gathering dust. How do you avoid those purchases?
A Every time you make a purchase, run through the list: Will my emotional state be that much different a week (from now)? How much will it bring me closer to other people? Is it a true expression of who I am?

TALLAHASSEE – Lawmakers trying to divide $1.3 billion in surplus cash haggled through the weekend over hometown water and education projects, health-care needs and hundreds of other dueling spending priorities.
The Republican-controlled Legislature has already signed off on most of the biggest-ticket priorities, such as giving $500 million in tax cuts to motorists, businesses and back-to-school shoppers.
But hammering out the finer points on a raft of other issues from higher education spending, springs and Everglades restoration, services for the disabled, school construction, and road projects have been dragging out behind closed doors all weekend.

The Morning Ledger: Banks Change Tune on Corporate Cash
The Morning Ledger from CFO Journal cues up the most important news in corporate finance every weekday morning. Send us tips, suggestions and complaints: email@example.com. Get The Morning Ledger emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here. Follow us on Twitter @CFOJournal.
Banks are changing their tune on corporate cash. After years of discouraging deposits, banks are making a big effort to attract them, writes CFOJ's Vipal Monga in today's Marketplace section. Looming regulatory changes, which will force banks to hold larger cash reserves, are driving the strategic shift. "Last year, almost every bank had more cash than they knew what to do with," Terry Stack, treasurer at Harman International Industries, tells Monga. "They were being decidedly stingy with the yields they were offering." But now companies are funneling their cash back into U.S. banks, which are offering them a new selection of products designed to appeal to corporate customers and average annual rates of 0.30% on deposits, up from 0.20% last year.
A lot of corporate treasurers are still shellshocked from the financial crisis, and while the U.S. economy is recovering slowly, growth in China has tapered off and most euro-zone countries are in recession. "Cash has become a risk-management tool for corporate treasurers," said Anthony Carfang, a partner at consulting firm Treasury Strategies. They "are reallocating more money to bank deposits because of a lack of opportunities elsewhere," he said.
But some are finding other havens for their short-term cash. Brian Rice, CFO of Royal Caribbean Cruises, prefers commercial paper. Rates for 90-day terms reached as high as 0.23% during the week of July 22. That's almost 30% higher than the rates being offered on many bank accounts.
The Senate Banking Committee puts Dodd-Frank under the microscope as SEC Chairman Mary Jo White and CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler testify on the troubled rollout of the law, the Hill notes. This month's Davis Polk shows that implementation of the law has fallen far behind. As of July 15, there had been 279 deadlines for Dodd-Frank regulations— and 62% had been missed. Overall, 32% of the rules for Wall Street reform have not yet been proposed.
We may see more signs of a strengthening housing sector today with the release of the latest S&P/Case-Shiller index for home prices, the NYT notes. Economists are expecting the index for May to post a 12.3% gain.
Earnings of note: Merck, Pfizer, Aetna, Thomson Reuters, Goodyear Tire and NYSE Euronext.
Markets flash: Asia ended higher as a weaker yen fueled gains in Japan. European shares are lower after Barclays gave in to pressure from regulators with a plan to issue £5.8 billion in new shares to address a capital shortfall, the WSJ reports. DJIA futures are up slightly.
Private companies waiting longer to get paid. Privately held companies are waiting longer to get paid for their goods and services, as economic uncertainty encourages some customers to wait as long as possible before paying their bills, writes Vipal Monga. Private companies across all industries are waiting an average 40.3 days to get their money, three days more than last year, according to financial-analysis firm Sageworks, a private-company specialist. "Some of the business owners that survived the recession have become focused on improving their margins," says Sageworks analyst Libby Bierman. "They want to operate lean businesses and hold on to their cash as much as possible."
Delaware head of unclaimed property retires. The state official in charge of Delaware's unclaimed property auditing regime, Mark Udinski, is leaving his post this week, reports Vipal Monga. Mr. Udinski will retire as state escheator on Aug. 1, according to Tom Cook, Delaware's secretary of finance. The personnel changes are important because Delaware is the official home to more than half of the publicly traded companies in the U.S., and has an aggressive policy to claim millions of dollars from corporations through audits for unclaimed property. Companies incorporated in Delaware must turn over that unclaimed property, or its cash value, to the state if they can't locate the owner. Unclaimed property is the third-largest source of revenue for Delaware, representing roughly 15% of the state's estimated budget of $3.72 billion this year.
CFOs are holding on to cash. U.S. companies are holding tight to their cash as they worry that central bankers may turn off the easy-money spigot, writes the WSJ's Katy Burne. The Association for Financial Professionals' July survey of CFOs and treasurers shows businesses are hoarding increasing amounts, after loosening their grip on their money last year. Executives' confidence is waning as the Fed considers winding down its bond-buying program, and those fears are crimping company spending on everything from mergers to new plants and hires. "Corporate treasurers tend to hold higher amounts of cash in the face of greater economic and policy uncertainty," said Thomas Deas, treasurer of FMC Corp. and chairman of the National Association of Corporate Treasurers.
Intel CFO says focus shifting to mobile products. Intel CFO Stacy Smith said the decline in the traditional PC market will persist as consumers shift to tablets and other mobile devices. "What you're seeing is a transition of the classic PC market into these kinds of things," Mr. Smith told Bloomberg. "If you think about the PC as being a classic computer that you might have used two or three years ago, I think that device declines." Intel now has chips that are designed to power tablets and smartphones, giving it a chance to make up for slumping PC sales and regain ground it has lost to competitors, Mr. Smith said.
Too much tax? Move to Ireland. American companies looking to lower their tax bill are moving to Ireland—at least in spirit, writes Kate Linebaugh on the WSJ's Corporate Intelligence blog. Perrigo moved its legal domicile to Ireland as part of its acquisition of Irish biotech firm Elan, but management is staying put in the western Michigan city of Allegan. "While the new Perrigo will be legally domiciled in Ireland, we remain committed to our established infrastructure and loyal employee base around the globe," Perrigo CFO Judy Brown said in a conference call. Cleveland-based Eaton did the same thing when it bought Cooper Industries, and it's what New Jersey-based Actavis plans to do when its acquisition of Warner Chilcott closes. "It is certainly a trend in the making," said Reuven Avi-Yonah, director of the international tax program at the University of Michigan's law school.
Wipro CFO: U.S. is looking better than Europe. Wipro CFO Suresh Senapaty says he's confident his company's investments in human resources and efforts to establish a bigger presence world-wide will pay off. "We have made a lot of investments in the front end—setting up hunting and consulting teams for existing and new outsourcing orders. Besides, we have splurged on the back end, in automation," Mr. Senapaty tells the Hindu. Internationally, Mr. Senapaty says that the U.S. is looking better than Europe. "I can't say Europe will be more positive than U.S. IT spends and decision-making spends are good news but we have to keep on remodeling around technologies and ways of delivering our services around that."
Sprint loses subscribers as loss deepens. Sprint continued to hemorrhage customers in the second quarter and posted deeper losses, as it wrapped up a costly shutdown of the push-to-talk network it inherited when it merged with Nextel. Sprint reported a $1.6 billion net loss, deeper than the $1.4 billion loss a year earlier. And it lost a net 1.05 million contract subscribers—fewer than some analysts had estimated but outmatched by the 941,000 added by Verizon Wireless and the 551,000 added by AT&T. Sprint has been hobbled for years by the cost and complexity of maintaining two networks running on different technologies. Now newly recapitalized, the company has to show it can compete against larger rivals in a market that has grown more saturated, the WSJ's Ryan Knutson writes.
Cities start to hire again. The slide in local-government employment appears to have bottomed out, with U.S. cities starting to hire new teachers, firefighters and police officers, the WSJ says. Monthly jobs data from the Labor Department show local governments, which make up about 65% of the overall government workforce, added workers in seven of the past eight months, the longest such streak in five years. Rising home values, which boost the property taxes that many municipalities rely on, is one driver of the renewed hiring. Population growth in states like Nevada is also fueling hiring.
Regulators outline fraud allegations against J.P. Morgan. Federal energy regulators laid out their first formal accusations that traders at J.P. Morgan manipulated electricity markets, the WSJ reports. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released a two-page notice that describes several trading schemes, including submitting bids that "falsely appeared" attractive to electricity-system operators and led to payments to the bank valued at "tens of millions of dollars at rates far above market prices." In another strategy, traders bid at low prices in odd-numbered hours and high prices at even-numbered hours, leading system operators to pay J.P. Morgan for ramping up energy production, the document said. The disclosures precede an expected settlement between the bank and agency, which are close to announcing a roughly $410 million fine to settle the charges.
- Norse Energy, an oil and natural gas company based in Norway, said Chief Financial Officer Chris Steinhauser resigned to pursue other interests. He is succeeded on an interim basis by Chief Executive Mark Dice, who will also continue with his CEO duties.
- Rémy Cointreau, an alcoholic-beverage company based in France, hired Luca Marotta as its chief financial officer. He succeeds Frédéric Pflanz, who will become chief executive when Jean-Marie Laborde's term of office ends Sept. 30, according to a press release. Mr. Marotta was most recently CFO of L'Oréal Group's consumer products division.

HARRISVILLE - Police have arrested three Parkersburg residents believed to be involved in a Harrisville burglary and robbery Thursday.
Jessica H. Knight, 25, Parkersburg; Anthony D. Pruitt, 26, Parkersburg, and James R. Busch, 27, Parkersburg, were charged in Wood County with felony transferring of stolen goods. The three were also charged with daytime burglary in Ritchie County as well as an additional second-degree robbery charge for Pruitt.
The charges stem from an incident at the Harrisville home of Clare I. Snyder, 64, according to Cpl. O.S. Starsick with the Harrisville detachment of the West Virginia State Police.
During the burglary, Snyder returned home to see two white men exiting a window of her home with electronic items in their hands, heading to an awaiting vehicle containing a female driver, police said. The vehicle was in her driveway.
"Snyder blocked the suspects' vehicle with her truck to stop them from leaving," Starsick said. "When she did this, one of the male suspects approached her and pleaded with her to not call the law."
When Snyder denied the request, the suspect pulled Snyder from her truck and dropped her to the ground, which broke her arm in the process, police said. At this time, the suspect also took her purse and the truck's keys.
"Because he used force, this became a robbery instead of a burglary," Starsick said.
Snyder got a ride from a passing vehicle to the state police office and gave a report.
"She was able to provide descriptions of the suspects, the licence plate number on the car and the possibility of a child in the car," Starsick said.
A broadcast was put out for surrounding areas and, at 4:16 p.m., the 911 center in Parkersburg received a call about a vehicle matching the description in the area of 13th and Lynn streets.
Officers responded to the area and found the vehicle's occupants, who were identified and detained.
"Evidence of the crime was recovered from the suspects' vehicle and respective residences by the West Virginia State Police along with the assistance of the Parkersburg Police Department," according to a report from the West Virginia State Police. Investigation revealed that an 8-month-old infant had been in the suspects' vehicle at the time of the robbery.
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources will be notified for a follow-up in this matter, Starsick said.
Snyder was treated and released from St. Joseph's Hospital.

Application of 'Urf in Islamic Law
Shafi'i Abdul Azeez Bello III
International Islamic University Malaysia
January 11, 2013
'Urf or Customary law is one of the most important supporting sources in Islamic law. This can be seen through many legal rulings (ahkam) in Islamic law, which was based on 'urf in which most of these ahkam will change according to the change of circumstances, place and time. As for basis of 'urf or custom, it is the product of the nature of the people and their culture, it grows in strength and popularity by means of imitation that transfers and implants it in the lives of people. Normally these 'urf or customs will be inherited by generations until the come of other customs that can overrule the earlier ones. Therefore, this study proposed and explained the 'urf and its application in Islamic law, particularly under the differences among 'urf, 'adah, and ijma' (consensus of jurists). Moreover, the classifications of 'urf were well analysis in the concept of Shari'ah. The proof of 'urf was explained critically while the legal maxims under 'urf and rules that govern the applicability of 'urf under Islamic law were also discussed and it ended with well conclusion.

Francis A. Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto, 1981.
At one point in A Christian Manifesto, Schaeffer laments the low turnout for his anti-abortion seminars in the early 1970s (67-68). He blames evangelical leaders who held an incorrect view of Christianity, who limited its sphere of influence. Whatever the reason for their absence, it's the absence itself that sticks out now—anti-abortion activism, or at least anti-abortion sentiment, seems part and parcel of evangelicalism itself. Clearly, it wasn't always so. Lest we forget, Schaeffer served as an important intellectual architect of what we have come to call "conservative evangelicalism." His book and video series Whatever Happened to the Human Race? helped turn opposition to abortion from a "Catholic issue" into a broadly conservative issue. More than that, he helped to popularize the view that Christian America was under siege by a competing "world view" called "humanism." This book serves as nothing less than a call to arms for an emerging culture war.
It's more than a catchy title: A Christian Manifesto. On a flyleaf, Schaeffer names his book's predecessors to mark his as a Christian political document: "The Communist Manifesto, 1848/ Humanist Manifesto I, 1933/ Humanist Manifesto II, 1973." Keeping in mind that this book came out in 1981, it's clear that this move serves two purposes: 1) it places Schaeffer's book both in the tradition of and in opposition to these other manifestos, and 2) it posits a genealogical connection between communism and humanism—even in the capitalist world, Schaeffer implies, "humanism" springs from Marxism. For Schaeffer, Christianity and "humanism" are mutually incompatible "world views." A "world view" describes "the overall way people think and view the world and life as a whole" (17). According to Schaeffer, humanism considers ultimate reality to be a random flux of energy and matter, our world to be nothing but the result of pure chance. In the period from 1933-1973, this world view took over American culture, which was founded on "Judeo-Christian" values (55). Worse still, says Schaeffer, many Christians have been complicit in this humanist takeover of their culture (he specifically names Martin Marty as an offender in this regard on p.22, though my beloved professor Yaakov Ariel insists Marty is one of the tzadikim nistarim). Schaeffer calls Christian America to wake up and do something to save their culture.
This book offers rich primary material for historians of conservative evangelicalism because it brings a number of issues to the fore. 1) Schaeffer shows deep concern about the legalization of abortion, but it actually seems to be a symptom of his deeper concern for American youth. References to school, education, and students occur frequently in this book (e.g. 83-86). Whether through abortion or the lack of prayer in public schools, the key concern remains the same: Schaeffer believes America's future is at stake, society's most vulnerable members under attack. 2) Schaeffer insists on treating "humanism" as a coherent, singular entity. More specifically, he treats it as a religion. By drawing his definition of "humanism" from the Humanist Manifestos, Schaeffer provides a clear, "religious" origin for the cultural changes that rocked America from the 1940s-70s (see 54). As he sees it, the First Amendment has hijacked by a particular religion opposed to the Judeo-Christian democratic principles of America's founders. Rulings concerning prayer in public schools, public displays of the Ten Commandments, and abortion reveal how this religion has used the courts more effectively than Christians. 3) Somewhat surprisingly, Schaeffer flatly rejects the circumscription of religion usually associated with the rise of evangelicalism in the early republic. He laments that "spirituality has… been shut up to a very narrow area"—namely, individual belief in the supernatural, which he calls "platonic, overly spiritualized" Christianity (63). He insists that Christian truth applies to all of life on earth—and that Christian truth is the only firm basis for a just, harmonious society, the only fixed point from which to measure the external world scientifically. For Schaeffer, Christian spirituality extends completely into the material realm. At the very least, we can say that this complicates our usual scholarly understandings of evangelicalism, which focus heavily on individual beliefs. Even in a book by Francis Schaeffer, an intellectualized product of "fundamentalist" evangelicalism if ever there was one, "belief" happens materially.

POLICE SAY... THE HOMEOWNERS MONEY AND JEWELS LIKE THESE. (a lot of what was taken was sentimental, grandfathers ring and birth stones and things that cannot be replaced) POLICE SAY THE COUPLE BROUGHT THEIR YOUNG CHILD ALONG FOR THE CRIMES... USED NUMEROUS REALTORS AS THEY HIT MORE THAN A DOZEN HOMES HOMES IN HAMILTON... BUTLER... AND CLERMONT COUNTIES ... HOUSES IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY AND EVEN LEXINGTON. POLICE SAY ONE WOULD DISTRACT THE REALTOR WHILE THE OTHER WENT TO WORK. (MACALUSO: some of the realtors we talked to said it was anywhere from wanting to see what the basement looked like to having to use the restroom to not feeling well. There was a lot of different excuses they made to be able to separate themselves.) ALTOGETHER... POLICE SAY THEY MADE OFF WITH MORE THAN 50- THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF GOODS... THEY'RE NOW BEHIND BARS... THANKS TO A SUSPICIOUS REALTOR WHO JOTTED DOWN THEIR LICENSE PLATE AND TIPPED OFF POLICE. THE SAD PART... POLICE SAY MOST OF THE JEWELRY HAS ALREADY BEEN PAWNED AND MELTED DOWN. DELHI POLICE BELIEVE MORE VICTIMS MAY BE OUT THERE. THEY'RE ASKING ANY REALTOR WHO MAY HAVE SHOWN A HOUSE TO THE COUPLE---WHO WENT BY BEN AND KATIE WHITE OR SLOAN---TO GIVE THEM A CALL. MIKE. POLICE SAY THIS IS ALSO A GOOD REMINDER TO HOMEOWNERS TRYING TO SELL THEIR HOUSE... NOT TO LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN THE HOME WHEN THEIR HOUSE IS BEING SHOWN.
