The mayor will be on two panels in Denmark. One of the panels will recruit green technology to Florida. The other panel represents what cities are doing to reduce carbon emissions.

The Club can announce that, following a meeting of the Planning Committee of Haringey Council last night, there was a unanimous decision to approve the application for the Northumberland Development Project, our new stadium scheme.
Daniel Levy, Chairman, said:
"Clearly we are delighted with this unanimous decision and are grateful to all those who expressed such clear support for the plans. I should stress that there is still much work to be done. We shall continue to work with Haringey Council and the application will now be considered by the Mayor of London and referred to the Secretary of State.
"In the meantime I can also confirm we have registered an interest in the Olympic Stadium site within the deadline of 30 September, in conjunction with AEG (Europe), the world's largest entertainment and facilities management company.
"It is only prudent and good management that we ensure that we investigate all possible options for the Club. We were informed by the Olympic Park Legacy Company that were we not to register an interest at this time, there would not be an opportunity at any future date.
"We have always maintained that we wouldn't undertake any project that could undermine the overall financial stability and future success of the Club and this shall remain our guiding principle going forward and in determining our best option in the interests of the Club and all its fans and stakeholders.
"We shall keep everyone connected with the Club updated over the coming months as discussions continue with the various public sector bodies."
29 July 2016
The new stadium site continues to be a hive of activity with work to areas of the basement and ground floor progressing.
13 May 2016
As work across the stadium site continues at pace, our live cameras have been capturing all the activity as it happens.
15 April 2016
The Club can confirm that the Secretary of State has written to the London Borough of Haringey stating that he does not propose to call in the planning application for the Northumberland Development Project and Haringey Council has today (15 April 2016) granted permission for the scheme.

What matters is talent and the way our society is, that's what's more important.
I don't think Shekwan was implying that bad guys don't win. His opinion had more to do with sportsmanship. I'm sure you played some sort of team ball so I don't think I dont think I need to elaborate on the subject.
OJ, TO, LT are all HOF's in my book. However compared to other HOF's like Rice, Emmit Smith, and Steve Young are HOF's on and off the field. Thats probably why Young is still on Toyota commercials and Emmits still doing just for men commercials way past their playing days while OJ and LT are enjoying retirement in prison.
Sports is entertainment. What you find entertaining is subjective. If you value flash and brash more power to you. Unfortunately sports is more than just entertainment.
Shekwan, best post of the day bud. Nice change from all the PED trolls on this board.

Lara's Trainer: Martirosyan is Going To Get Outclassed
by David P. Greisman
Ronnie Shields doesn't just think he knows exactly what he's working with — he believes he knows exactly what he's working against.
Shields is the trainer to junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara, but he also once trained the junior middleweight Lara will likely be facing this fall, Vanes Martirosyan.
Shields spoke with BoxingScene.com in early September about the bout, which takes place on November 10th at the Wynn in Las Vegas.
BoxingScene.com: What's going on with Erislandy Lara right now?
Shields: "Well, Erislandy Lara's supposed to fight Vanes Martirosyan Nov. 10. That's the date they're throwing at us. Both guys have signed the contract. And Lara's in training right now. He's looking great. We're not working really hard right now, but he's already looking sharp. I'm backing him down already because he's so excited because he wants this fight so bad. He really wants this fight, and he just wants to show everyone that he's not champion right now but he's the best 154-pound fighter in the world."
BoxingScene.com: You trained Vanes Martirosyan in the past. What are you teaching Lara about him right now?
Shields: "I'm not saying what I'm teaching him right now. But I know a lot about Vanes. We're working on a few things right now that we can take advantage of. Vanes hasn't changed any. So there's a lot of things that we're going to do, and some things that we're going to put in, some things that Vanes has never seen Lara do before. So it's going to be really interesting, and after Lara wins this fight, then people will see that Lara deserves to fight one of the champions to prove that he is the best 154-pound fighter in the world right now."
BoxingScene.com: When you say Vanes hasn't changed, what do you mean specifically?
Shields: "He still fights the same. Looking at him in his last few fights, I don't see anything that he's changed. I don't see nothing different."
BoxingScene.com: Do you think that he's stagnated as a fighter, that he hasn't gotten better?
Shields: "He's been winning. That's the only thing that's better. But he's never fought anyone like Erislandy Lara. He's never fought anyone close to the skills of Erislandy Lara. Vanes is a tough guy, a great fighter, but he's just going to get outclassed in this fight."

"I thought Jalen had a very good day yesterday and he seemed to have a good day today," Stoops said.
As for Whitlow's receiving corps, Ryan Timmons is still banged up with a sprained ankle and is not expected to play on Saturday. Also, Alex Montgomery is out for season with a torn ACL. But with other Wildcats rising to the occasion, Stoops believes they will be able to put a viable group of wide outs on the field.
"Javess (Blue) is fresh. He looked good. Demarco (Robinson), (Jeff) Badet – all those guys are getting better. We need to use our tight ends a little bit more and get them some balls," Stoops said.
Missouri is known for its high-powered offense, but Kentucky offensive coordinator Neal Brown seemed to be most impressed with the Tigers' defense. More specifically, the speed of the defensive line.
"They have had as many good defensive lineman in the last five to seven years in the country,'' Brown said. "They have the fastest D-Line that we've played. And they chase the ball, maybe better than anyone we've played."
With the pressure that the Missouri defense consistently puts on opposing quarterbacks, it will be especially important for Whitlow to be on top of his game Saturday.
"We have to get the ball out of hand faster, and I think (Whitlow) understands that. But we're going to have to do some things in protection – get some backs, get some tight ends – to help our guys out," Brown said.
It will be a challenge that the sophomore quarterback is up. Whitlow, who has had struggled with the injury bug to this point of the season, described his health as "good enough" on Wednesday after practice.
The Wildcats (2-6) play host to Mizzou (8-1) on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Commonwealth Stadium. The game is set for a noon kickoff and will be televised live on ESPNU.

Remember: Today is the runoff in Texas! Go vote if you didn't last week!
Here are a few tidbits of election news:
Democratic strategists who prophesy a Hillary landslide over Trump are blowing smoke. Hillary is a stodgily predictable product of the voluminous briefing books handed to her by a vast palace staff of researchers and pollsters—a staggeringly expensive luxury not enjoyed by her frugal, unmaterialistic opponent, Bernie Sanders (my candidate). Trump, in contrast, is his own publicist, a quick-draw scrapper and go-for-the-jugular brawler. He is a master of the unexpected (as the Egyptian commander Achillas calls Julius Caesar in the Liz Taylor Cleopatra). The massive size of Hillary's imperialist operation makes her seem slow and heavy. Trump is like a raffish buccaneer, leaping about the rigging like the breezy Douglas Fairbanks or Errol Flynn, while Hillary is the stiff, sequestered admiral of a bullion-laden armada of Spanish galleons, a low-in-the-water easy mark as they creak and sway amid the rolling swells.

Fair Haven man denies sex chargeMay 07,2013Fair Haven man denies sex charge
A Fair Haven man already facing criminal sex offense charges pleaded innocent Monday to three additional charges alleging sexual acts involving an 11-year-old girl.
According to court records, Brandon Ellis, 18, answered to two felony charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and one felony charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in jail.
In an affidavit, Vermont State Police Detective Michael Notte wrote that investigators with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, received a report from a 13-year-old female who said when she was 11, Ellis exposed himself, wanted her to touch. The girl told police she did not say anything before because her family trusted Ellis and did not want to ruin it.
Ellis was arrested in April. At the time of his arrest, Ellis was out on court-ordered conditions of release pending sex charges including sexual assault and lewd and lascivious conduct that police said occurred at the same time as the new charges.
On Monday, Ellis was again released on conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

Wooly Aphids
A little over a month ago, I was looking around making notes about the needs of the gardens at Minnetrista, and I noticed what looked like little bits of cotton spread out on the ground below an oak tree. At first I thought a mower had hit a cigarette butt that someone littered, but after a closer look, that wasn't what it was. This cottony looking substance was a sign we had a wooly aphid infestation.
Insect Repellent Can Harm Your Lawn
Doing yardwork this time of the year comes with its many challenges.
Canada Thistle, A Weed We Could Do Without
Recently, I had a great suggestion from a reader who has been observing the growing and flowering Canada Thistle that is going to seed all over Muncie. She thought it would be a good idea to go over this troublesome weed, and perhaps get folks aware of why and how they should manage it. Great idea!
Strange Things Are Happening In My Yard
Some weird stuff has been happening on my home lawn this spring.
Checkers Anyone?
A lot of time goes into maintaining a home lawn. For many of us, sad to say, more time is spent taking care of our lawn than using our lawn for enjoyable activities.
Partners for Daffodils
Nothing says spring quite like a daffodil. After a long winter, their sunny faces popping up all over town is one of the cheeriest sights I know. Add to that their resilience and dependability, and it's no wonder that the daffodil is one of the best loved spring perennials. But what if you are hungry for something new? Several lesser-known plants exhibit beautiful blooms this time of year. Pair these with daffodils, and both really shine!
Healthy Soil, Healthy Garden
I just got back from the annual MOSES Organic Farming Conference. Although I learned many exciting things, one theme emerged consistently—soil, soil, soil. Without healthy soil, we cannot have healthy plants. Here are a few tips for nurturing rich, resilient soil in your garden.
Use the Disease Triangle to Help Your Plants
I have written several articles about different plant diseases and pests that the horticulture team has dealt with at Minnetrista. I like sharing what choices we make to combat various plant issues for those of you that might be dealing with the same issue in your own garden—or at least give you a heads up on what might be coming your way.
Whats that on My Pine Trees?
Earlier in the fall some of my favorite pine trees on Minnetrista's campus started catching my eye, and not in a good way. The low growing sprawling pine is Hillside Creeper Scotch Pine. It is featured in our Bird and Butterfly Garden and they were covered in white all along many of their needles.
Volunteers Bring Holiday Cheer to Minnetrista
It's beginning to look a lot like . . . winter! Yes, the holiday season is upon us. Throughout Minnetrista, volunteers and staff are hanging ornaments, lighting trees, and generally decking the halls. Horticulture would be in a pickle without the talented people who have donated their time to help decorate during these past two weeks. This article is devoted to their tips for creating holiday ambiance.

Abraham Lincoln from ABRAHAM LINCOLN FOR THE DEFENSE
"If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong."
"You wish me to destroy my enemies? By making them friends do I not destroy them as enemies?"
When as president Lincoln was asked by a long-term friend to provide him with a high government post he mused, "Well now I never thought he had more than average ability when we were young men together. But then I suppose he thought the same thing about me, and — here I am."

Abraham Lincoln from DEATH IN THE MOONLIGHT
"With malice toward none and justice toward all."
"A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe the government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free."
When as president Lincoln heard a clergyman announce, "The Lord is on our side," Lincoln replied. "I am not at all concerned with that, for we know The Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on The Lord's side."

Disney comics are a sort of odd bird in Disneyana collector circles. Those that are into the comics appreciate the stories and art. Those that are not into the comics fail to recognize the contributions of their creators. The volume of material for each of the mascot characters has much more depth and presence in comic format than in any cartoon. Yet the animated pieces are more universally recognized. There is a unique crossover of the worlds however when the comics influence the cartoons and vice versa. The best of these efforts helped make Disney fans understand the unique relationship between the artistic formats. After all Walt Disney started his career as a cartoonist before he went into animation. Some of the early Disney comic books were drawn by his animators.
Of all of the Disney comics none are possibly more popular than the stories of Scrooge McDuck. Carl Barks created a legacy for Scrooge, his nephew Donald Duck and great nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie that may never be topped. Of all the legends started by Barks none has entertained me more than the creation of the Junior Woodchucks (JW). The send-up of scouting, in particular the pomp and circumstance surrounding scouting, first appeared in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories issue 125. The 1951 issue placed Huey, Dewey and Louie in the role of avid scouting enthusiasts. Their uncle Donald often played the foil for their adventures, constantly trying to show them who was a superior outdoorsman but often failing with hilarious consequences. The Junior Woodchucks grew in notoriety and by 1966 had their own comic published by Gold Key. The series lasted until the early '80s.
In 1987 the Junior Woodchucks were re-introduced to audiences in the Disney Afternoon animated series DuckTales. With the newfound role as scouts, and the indispensable knowledge contained in the Junior Woodchuck's Guidebook, the triplets were able to help their Uncle Scrooge go on adventures. The trio were originally placed into the scouting program as a way to keep them occupied and out of trouble. In the comics Donald had signed them up and in the cartoon show it was Scrooge.
Scouting was a featured theme in early 20th century comic books. The comics could be adventure serials or even humor titles. The main characters were mostly adolescents in the comics, making them very appealing to young readers. Because the main characters were scouts they often had basic survival skills, were trained explorers and offered a realistic sense of adventure, without relying on guns like the popular soldier comics. Young audiences could identify with these heroes and imagine themselves joining them on their travels.
Some of the same themes were explored in the JW comics as well as the cartoons. The nice part about the comics and cartoons were written as a role reversal with the adult characters. In most stories the adults were responsible for saving the children from various situations but not in the JW adventures. Young characters were presented as smart, self reliant individuals that remained calm under pressure. They could foil the plans of a bank robber, poacher or evil scientist just as easily as any detective or superhero. They could always be shown doing so much more. From tracking wildlife to building bridges, scaling and caring for wounded animals, there was nothing that these little explorers could not handle.
As the Duck universe was fleshed out so too were the stories featuring the Woodchucks and their organization. Even the spin-off show from DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, had an episode where the title character was in over his head when he left the city. Although to be fair the kids were actually in a generic scout troop and not actual Woodchucks. They did manage to help Darkwing track down his prey and save St. Cannard from the menace of the evil Bushroot.
Don Rosa would write some very clever inflections for the characters whenever the plot revolved around the ability of the Woodchucks to solve a mystery. Rosa was the best modern Duck artist and storyteller since Carl Barks. He kept the tradition alive by demonstrating time and time again that the JW Guidebook contained the secrets lost to man from millennia past. What made the stories especially important were that these secrets were entrusted only to the young members of the organization. Despite his enormous wealth Scrooge could never rent, let alone buy the knowledge contained within the Guidebook.
Rosa would insert bits and pieces of the history of the organization in his masterpiece and Eisner Award Winning book The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. He managed to incorporate actual Barks continuity into canon without upsetting long time readers. His single story, the Guardians of the Lost Library, from Uncle Scrooge Adventures #25 has rightfully been called one of the best, if not the best comic book story ever written. The origins of the fabled Guidebook were finally exposed and fans were not disappointed. Sadly, like most great comic creators Don Rosa does not receive royalties for his amazing stories and art.
The world that Barks created and Rosa expanded upon were blown wide open in Italy. The publishers of Topolino, the longest running Disney comic book series, created a spin-off book dedicated to the Junior Woodchucks. The adventures of the Giovani Marmotte (Young Marmots in Italy) ran for several years during the mid '90s.
Huey, Dewy and Louie travelled the globe with their troop and had the sorts of adventures that would have made Barks proud. In fact, the old man himself can be found from time to time hiding in a panel.
The next blog will highlight the reasons that made the Giovani Marmotte adventures more than just another comic book.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 4
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 4 News Release: USDOL: 99-153
Friday, August 20, 1999
Contact: Clyde Payne
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today cited Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc., and proposed penalties totaling $151,700 following safety and health inspections of the company's Pascagoula facility.
According to Clyde Payne, OSHA's Jackson area director, Ingalls was targeted for a comprehensive safety and health inspection because of its high illness and injury rate. Payne said, "High rates of illness and injury are the indicators OSHA uses to target industries and operations where an inspection might alleviate hazards, prevent accidents and save lives." The shipyard industry is one of OSHA's strategic initiatives.
OSHA's targeted inspection of the Pascagoula shipyard found 37 serious and four repeat safety violations with proposed penalties of $140,200. These included hazards associated with electrical shock, falls, and numerous deficiencies that could cause workers to be struck by or caught in materials or equipment.
As a result of the health inspection, OSHA's team found another five serious violations. An additional penalty of $11,500 was proposed for these citations, which included problems related to hazard communication, employee personal protective equipment, and the use of flammable liquids.
"Even though Ingalls has a formal safety and health program, the large number of violations we observed shows there are areas for improvement," said Payne. "OSHA expects an employer to protect workers, particularly in those industries where injuries are most likely to occur."
A serious violation is one in which there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and that the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
Repeat violations occur when an employer has been cited previously for a substantially similar condition and the citation has become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Ingalls Shipbuilding employs about 11,000 workers. The company has 15 working days to contest OSHA's citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Inspections of the worksite were conducted by OSHA's area office located at 3780 I-55 North , Suite 210, Jackson, Miss. 39211-6323; telephone: (601) 965-4606.

Left gets it right
Today I got a solicitation and a filled out absentee ballot application from Vermonters First imploring me to vote absentee so we can ...stand up to those job killing anti freedom policies... being pursued in Montpelier, and I assume Washington. I tried to go to this organizations web site to give them a piece of what little mind I have left, but the link they give is not a valid one, a harbinger of their well oiled organizational capacity and accuracy, no doubt.
I am quite happy to support the re-election of Governor Shumlin, Senator Sanders and Congressman Welch, especially after reading last weeks news coverage of the Census Bureau report which found that only Vermont had both an increase in per capita income and a reduction in the number of citizens living below the poverty line in 2011. Granted, our nation has many serious problems, but in light of this Vermonters First diatribe, I am moved to ask, if we are so left, how come our elected Democratic and Progressive governor, senator, and congressman are able to get it right?

Well, we tried tossing out the diapers and just putting her in underwear, we tried letting her run around naked outside and we tried bribery with M&Ms. Here is the issue: If I put her in underwear and she pees or poops on herself, she wont tell me. It doesn't seem to bother her. Same she is wearing a diaper....I ask her if it needs to be changed and she says "no" everytime, even when I KNOW it needs to be changed.
For the last year, when I go to the bathroom, she will come with me and sit on her potty (clothes on) and then washes her hands. When I take her diaper off to do it, she freaks out. I told her that if she sits on the potty, she gets candy (which we never give her normally) and she still doesn't want to sit on the potty with her diaper off.
And more ideas? I don't want to force the issue because I understand that it could make it more difficult and every child learns at their own pace, but we were planning on starting school in January and now we can't because she is not potty trained.

Eli Lilly is joining Cancer Research UK's (CRUK) Combinations Alliance with the aim of finding new medicines for cancer therapy trials. The goal of the Alliance is to bring targeted experimental molecules owned by pharmaceutical companies to clinical trials in an effort to hasten the process by which patients can get new cancer treatments. The trials will test these new therapies alongside radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other treatment combinations.
With support from CRUK's Drug Development Office, the trials will be run and managed at hospitals across the United Kingdom through the Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre Network, an initiative funded by CRUK, the National Institute for Health Research in England, and the Departments of Health of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. As part of the Alliance, Lilly will grant access to the selected molecules to be tested as well as additional financial support.
"This latest addition to the initiative will provide a huge boost to the U.K. research community in identifying exciting new combination therapies and will mean that more U.K. patients will be able to take part in important clinical trials of potential new treatments," said CRUK's director of strategic partnerships Ian Walker, Ph.D., in a statement. "We're continuing to look for additional parties who are interested in collaborating with us to enable us to offer a wider range of potential treatment options to patients in the future and to help us beat cancer sooner."
AstraZeneca, which in 2011 signed a deal with CRUK to take combinations of experimental cancer drugs into early-phase clinical trials, was the first company to join the Combinations Alliance. Among the studies opened through the ECMC Combinations Alliance so far are a Phase Ib/IIa trial launched in 2012 of AstraZeneca's AZD4547 alongside a combination of chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and capecitabine in patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

Product Details
Styled with subtle (but still sexy) cutouts at the sides, this sleek one-piece swimsuit actually looks like a bikini from the back. That's what we call the best of both worlds.
Size & Fit Details
Cutout one-piece swimsuit
Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Simone Fits like a glove My shape is (annoyingly) one that is in between sizes, and smaller on top than on the bottom, so one pieces can be tricky! This suit is great and I cannot wait to wear it at the pool or beach, which ever I get to first. Just like many other j.crew items, the bottoms do fit a bit more closely than the top, so you may want to size up if you're in between sizes on the bottom. The cutouts are not too severe and are quite flattering. I love how this suit looks like a two-piece from the back, with the front providing stylish coverage! Comes with a strong (optional) neck strap if bandeau is not your style or you want additional support to keep up the top. March 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BW49 Perfect Suit I am 5'6", 122 lbs., 34C, and usually wear a size 4 in J.Crew. I ordered a size 6 and it fits. It is the perfect combination of a bikini bottom and bandeau top-- that hides post-baby belly nicely. The sea mist is a beautiful color... and fabric is quality J.Crew!! February 16, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Louise another cute suit…but not for me I'm 5'4" and 125 pounds. 34D bra size. I ordered an 8. The fabric is good quality and pretty. The sides gapped somewhat and the thick back strap squeezed my back rolls. = ) I think if you are tall & slender this suit would be super cute. February 11, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by teacher555 Tight bust Great style and quality, but I had issues with the fit. I'm 5", 112 lbs, 32D. Size 2 was too long in the torso, and the bust could have been a little tighter. I thought the size 0 would be perfect, but find that it's a little too tight in the bust and halter strap as well. Improvements made to the suit could be to make both straps adjustable, an option for D cups and shorter torso as is with some other styles. This is a style that is perfect, but I'm bummed I can't return it now that I've cut the tags. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mariey Perfect one piece I had been looking for a 1 piece for a long time until I found this one. I originally wanted it in navy (it was already sold out), but picked it in green. I am so glad I did, It looks marvelous since I have fair skin. It fits perfectly. I was a little nervous choosing the size over the internet, after reading a few comments, I picked a size 4 and I am really happy with it (I am 5'6 and 120lbs). March 25, 2015

Taking the Long Way Home: U.S. Tax Evasion and Offshore Investments in U.S. Equity and Debt Markets

We empirically investigate one form of illegal investor-level tax evasion and its effect on foreign portfolio investment. In particular, we examine a form of round-tripping tax evasion in which U.S. individuals hide funds in entities located in offshore tax havens and then invest those funds in U.S. securities markets. Employing Becker's (1968) economic theory of crime, we identify the tax evasion component in foreign portfolio investment data by examining how foreign portfolio investment varies with changes in the incentives to evade and the risks of detection. To our knowledge, this is the first empirical evidence of investor-level tax evasion affecting cross-border investment in equity and debt markets.

Kalahandi administration draws up pro-farmer strategies
By Express News Service - BHAWANIPATNA
Published: 17th November 2012 11:50 AM
Last Updated: 17th November 2012 11:50 AM
The Kalahandi district administration is all prepared for the ensuing kharif paddy procurement. With an aim to ensure farmer-friendly procurement, strategies were drawn up at a meeting held here on Wednesday. The kharif procurement process is tentatively scheduled to begin on November 21.
For the current year, the State Government has set a target to procure 2.32 lakh MT of paddy from Kalahandi which is 1,58,000 MT in the shape of rice. Besides primary agriculture cooperative societies (PACS), Markfed, Nafed, TDCC and FCI will procure paddy in the earmarked purchasing centres.
It was decided to open 105 paddy purchasing centres for PACS as against 80 in the last kharif season. Markfed has suggested opening three purchase centres against six last year, TDCC will open six centres and FCI 10. Nafed is yet to give any list.
The purchasing committees for each of the centres will consist of revenue inspector, VAW and three farmer representatives. Block development officers and tahsildars will be nodal officers at their respective levels and in the sub-divisional level SDOs will monitor the purchasing process.
Tentatively 84 rice mills which have made 100 per cent delivery of targeted rice will be tagged to different purchasing centres to lift paddy.
The procurement strategy meeting was chaired by District Collector Govind Chandra Sethi and attended by Lok Sabha member Bhakta Charan Das, the MLAs and farmers and miller representatives.
The District Civil Supplies Officer, Indrajit Sahoo, said this was the first phase of the target and subsequently targets would be enhanced.

If it were as simple as sweeping this dust under the proverbial rug, that would be that. But blood samples confirm that these chemicals are making their way into our bodies. In 2004, Americans had more than 15 times the levels of pentaBDE in their systems than Europeans. And toddlers have 3 times the levels of adults. PentaBDE was phased out of furniture foam in 2004, but discouragingly, it is being replaced with our old friend Tris (see fig 1). Meanwhile, the option to purchase flame-retardant-free furniture is diminishing to essentially nothing.

went from being +1 and change to nearly down 1 in a matter of 25 minutes. Makes your stomach turn
Yea, its really volatile right now. Its more annoying than anything to see it fluctuate in price so much on such low volume. This isn't one of those sub 50 million market cap energy companies that so often get manipulated. XTXI is nearly a 1 billion dollar market cap company, a company with 0 debt (disregard yahoo key statistics which consolidates XTEX), 10 million XTEX LP units, and last, but certainly not least, the incentive distribution rights. I can understand it falling from its recent high, but to see it swing so much intraday is strange. Are the buyers and sellers that skittish? I continue to hold mine because we know they are aiming for close to a $3.00 dividend by year end and a $3.60 dividend by 3Q 2007. That, as I have mentioned before, comes out to a .05/Q average increase from here on out. That kind of solid growth looks good to me.

LaFLECHE: Civility dying at Niagara Region
(Postmedia files)
In some distant future historians writing about Niagara in the first decades of this century may look upon us with an unkind bewilderment.
Specifically, they may look at Niagara's regional government and wonder how a municipal council devolved into a carnival of ineptitude and petty entitlement.
People who follow regional politics will know the latest dust-up is about hiring a so-called "fairness commissioner," an affair that has apparently banished civil discourse.
Here's the Reader's Digest version of what has transpired: The Region awarded two contracts — one for a landfill and the other for regional insurance — and some vendors who lost in the bidding process complained.
Some councillors then raised concerns over the process, and council decided to hire a "fairness commissioner" to look at the process.
I do not begrudge council for wanting to hire a commissioner. It might even yield improvements to the system. The problem isn't the idea. The bonfire of the burning stupid it sparked is the issue.
The landfill deal is done and over with, meaning a commissioner would just audit the process.
It's in the case of the insurance where things fell off the rails.
The Region has sent a letter of award to its previous insurance provider, but has now put the deal on hold pending a review by the yet to be hired commissioner. The rub is that the Region's current insurance expires on Nov. 1.
The initial selection of the commissioner will be handled by Niagara Falls Coun. Bob Gale, Regional Chairman Alan Caslin and Port Colborne Coun. David Barrick. Regional staff has no input, but the three amigos' choice will require approval of the entire council.
That commissioner will review the bidding processes and contracts and release a report to be debated before any decisions are made.
(If councillors are really interested in being "fair," the commissioner will have to look into all communications and relationships between the vendors and councillors, who are not supposed to lobby on behalf of vendors. A review that fails to do this will be about as useful as a warm bucket of fish entrails.)
Unless council has a machine to slow down time, there is no way this gets done by Nov. 1.
Some councillors, however, appear to be in a rush.
Gale and gang wanted a small forest worth of paperwork on the contracts in question. The Region's acting CAO, Mo Lewis, is getting that material together, but in a couple of bellicose e-mails obtained by The Standard, Gale said it isn't happening fast enough. He wants all the documents ready for a special session of council Thursday.
"I demand that these are sent to all council — in confidence or not I do not care — by noon tomorrow or I demand the chair of the Region take action against you and any staff that do not comply with this demand — or any other suitable way at my disposal to have these facts given to us," Gale wrote to Lewis on Wednesday, using the word "demand" eight times in a six-paragraph message.
"Please do not qualify your response with other legal issues etc. as we are sick of this and feel the threat of legal action is a myth but only serves to delay our demand."
In his reply, Lewis said the documents to be digitized and sent to councillors are a foot thick. He told Gale that staff is uploading the entire kit and kaboodle and it should land in councillors' inboxes by Friday.
Gale then accused Lewis of being deliberately obstructive.
"This is obviously a delay to thwart council having the information for Thursday as we have been demanding this for weeks," he wrote.
Gale did not immediately return a request for an interview Wednesday.
I understand the frustration of not getting information precisely when you want it. It happens to journalists all the time. But anyone with experience knows sometimes processing documents takes some time. And, given that this involves allegations of mishandling contracts that have already been awarded, there must be legal issues that have to be considered.
Prudence should rule over hastiness in this case.
There is no feasible way to get through this process before Nov. 1 and council hasn't hired a commissioner yet. So whether councillors have those documents for Thursday or the next meeting is, at this point, not critical.
Moreover, Gale's demanding demands are another example of the toxic political atmosphere this council has created, making the job of finding a new, permanent CAO more difficult.
Would any talented person take that job knowing they are going to be met with such hostility when things don't unfold exactly as some councillors want?
Council was elected to handle the public's business with civility and professionalism. It's high time it started living up to that mandate.
