A short textbook reviewing the principles and methods employed in the laboratory for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The first section reviews the advantages of various procedures and discusses the theoretical basis of susceptibility testing. A chapter on the definition of antibiotic susceptibility puts the problem of interpretation of the terms sensitive and resistant into prospective with clarity and precision. The rest of the book is largely a presentation of the methods used to assay various species of bacteria for their antibiotic sensitivity, the development of standards, and the interpretation of results. Recommended for microbiology laboratories, hospital libraries, and infectious disease specialists.

Physical Description
Pacific-slope flycatchers are small perching birds around 14 to 17 cm in length and with a mass of 9 to 12 g. They have a relatively large head in comparison to their body, with a faint white to yellow teardrop-shaped patch around each eye. They have broad bills with a lower mandible that varies from yellow to light pink, distinguishing them from other flycatchers. Dull olive or brown feathers comprise the upperparts and back, with more pale and yellow feathers beneath. These flycatchers have relatively short wings (60 to 70 mm), longer tails, gray legs, and faint yellow wing bars.
Western flycatcher species (Pacific-slope and Cordilleran flycatcers) are difficult to distinguish from other flycatchers and each other. The olive-green back, almond-shaped pale eye patch, and gray legs differentiate Pacific-slope flycatchers from yellow-bellied flycatchers (Empidonax flaviventris), Acadian flycatchers (Empidonax virescens) and pine flycatchers (Empidonax affinis). The species are further differentiated by song. Pacific-slope flycatchers are indistinguishable from Cordilleran flycatchers (Empidonax occidentalis) in the field and almost impossible in the hand. However, Pacific-slope flycatchers are more often found in lower elevation, humid forests while Cordilleran flycatchers are often found in higher elevations, in dry coniferous forests.
Range mass: 9 to 12 g.
Range length: 140 to 170 mm.
Range wingspan: 60 to 70 mm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry

The entertainment was phenomenal! We have been on 3 other cruises (2 with Carnival) and to Vegas in the last 4 years and still thought that the production shows were among the best we've seen.
The food was average by cruise ship standards, I have learned to stay away from the buffets because of the crowds and likelihood of getting cold food. I much prefer the dining room, especially for breakfast and dinner. We ate at Johnny Rockets a few times and the sandwiches were great (try the apple pie a-la-mode also) but beware, it can get crowded.
One problem that someone else had mentioned, was the chair saving at the pool. We found 2 chairs at around 9:30 and stayed there until early afternoon. There were towels and a bag on the 2 chairs next to us when we got there. When we left around 2:00, the owners of the stuff hadn't come to claim it or use the chairs. (At around 12:00 we told some folks to take the seats and set the stuff aside, because no-one had shown up) I'm not sure how to prevent people from being rude and inconsiderate but pool chairs became a scarce commodity.
We did not notice any problems with children as was also mentioned, but we hung out near the adult pool during the "at sea" days. Overall, the cruise was great, beautiful clean ship, (all 3 of our other ships were new when we sailed on them) very good service and excellent entertainment.

Eighty-five bungalows dot the cul-de-sac that joins West Ontario Avenue and East Ontario Avenue in Atlanta. Twenty-two are vacant, victims of mortgage fraud and foreclosure. Now house fires, prostitution, vandals and burglaries terrorize the residents left in this historic neighborhood called Westview Village.
"It's created a safety hazard. And if we have to sell our house tomorrow, we're out of luck," said resident Scott Smith. "Real estate agents say to me, 'We're not redlining you, but I tell my clients to think twice about buying here.' "
As defaults surge on mortgages made to borrowers with spotty credit and adjustable-rate loans, more people are noticing that their neighbors are caught up in the meltdown.
"They've seen a lot of prostitution in the area, vagrants wandering in and out of the empty houses and drug activity," said Dakarta Richardson, a code enforcement officer for the city of Atlanta. "Some people that I talked to are afraid to walk out of their homes at night."
The rise in crime in Westview is typical of a neighborhood struggling with numerous foreclosures, according to a study by Dan Immergluck of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and Geoff Smith of Woodstock Institute in Chicago.
The study showed that when the foreclosure rate increases one percentage point, neighborhood violent crime rises 2.33 percent.
Historically the most affected areas were lower income and were prone to subprime and predatory lending, irresponsible house flipping and mortgage fraud, Immergluck said.
However, "the problem now is on a different scale," he said. "It's affecting a lot more suburban, moderate-income places" as more people of different incomes default on riskier loans.
In the Franklin Reserve neighborhood of Elk Grove, Calif., full of subdivisions with half-million-dollar homes, homeowners are fighting inner-city problems like gangs, drugs, theft and graffiti.
During the boom, the suburb just south of Sacramento sprouted 10,000 homes in four years, attracting investors from the San Francisco area. Now many houses stand empty, weeds overtaking lawns, signs lining the street: "Bank Repo," "For Rent," "No trespassing - bank owned property."
A typical home's value has dropped from about $570,000 to the low $400,000s.
Franklin Reserve resident Susan McDonald said two of the homes on her block were turned into indoor marijuana farms. Both caught fire last summer after the pot growers tapped into the city's electric grid with faulty wiring.
But McDonald, who has lived in the community for three years and is president of the residents' association, jokes that they make better neighbors than some.
To deter crime, the community policing unit is charged with working with code enforcement officers on problems such as unkempt homes and patrol officers swing past vacant homes as part of their normal duties.
Meanwhile, the neighbors are doing what they can. One Sunday last month, two dozen church members gathered their lawn mowers and weed trimmers and cleaned up 27 vacant homes.
"We had weeds that were almost eye-level high," said Steve Steele, pastor of the Tree of Life Community Church. "If no one was home, we just kind of did it good Samaritan style."

OPIC Joins Broad Group of Development Institutions in Agreeing to Scale-up Investments in the Green Economy
- Representatives of 15 Development Finance Institutions and Development Banks (DFIs and DBs) agree to collaborate in substantially scaling-up green investment activities in developing countries and emerging economies;
- With USD 18 billion in new commitments for clean investments in developing countries and emerging economies in 2012 assembled DFIs and DBs represent core supporters of the development of a green economy;
The assembled DFIs and DBs already represent a powerful financing block, having collectively committed more than USD $18 billion in green finance in 2012 alone. In agreeing on the scale of the challenge, leaders agreed to improve the effectiveness of their green finance activities and to work toward the broader goal of developed countries collaborating with the private sector to collectively mobilize $100 billion per year by 2020 to address the needs of the developing countries.
Leaders discussed a host of topics including; (a) mechanisms to further increase support for clean energy investments; (b) options and criteria to reduce support for the most polluting projects; (c) tools to increase demand for clean DFI/DB finance in developing countries; and (d) pathways to increasing transparency of portfolio-wide carbon emissions and investments in climate technologies reporting.
"This was an important meeting at an important time. The DFIs and DBs, working with our private sector partners, hold the keys to a large part of the climate finance solution. The challenges of transitioning to a green economy are far outweighed by benefits of job creation, innovation, and poverty alleviation," said Elizabeth Littlefield, President and CEO of Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). "We must seize this historic opportunity by expanding cooperation between our institutions and challenging ourselves to do more around this critical vision."
"We already can draw on many years of experience in green finance and we will therefore make efforts to help to provide the capital needed in emerging economies and developing countries to invest in the scale-up of their national green economies. Today's meeting is an important step and will give a strong signal to our partner countries including their development banks", Dr Kloppenburg, member of KfW's executive board, added.
A summary of the day's conclusions can be found at here.
Development Finance Institutions and Development Banks from Developed Countries
DFIs and DBs represented in today's meeting: AFD – Agence Francaise de Developpement; France; BIO - Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries, Belgium; BSTDB – Black Sea Trade and Development Bank, CDC Group, UK; DEG Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft, Germany; FINNFUND – Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation; FMO – Netherlands Development Finance Company; IFU – The Investment Fund for Developing Countries of Denmark; JICA – Japan International Cooperation Agency; KfW Development Bank, Germany; Norfund – Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries; OeEB – The Development Bank of Austria; OPIC – Overseas Private Investment Corporation, U.S.; SOFID –Sociedade para o Financiamento do Desenvolvimento, Portugal; VEB – Vnesheconombank, Russian Federation (in alphabetical order).
-30-OPIC is the U.S. Government's development finance institution. It mobilizes private capital to help solve critical world challenges and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC works with the U.S. private sector, it helps U.S. businesses gain footholds in emerging markets catalyzing revenues, jobs and growth opportunities both at home and abroad. OPIC achieves its mission by providing investors with financing, guarantees, political risk insurance, and support for private equity investment funds.
Established as an agency of the U.S. Government in 1971, OPIC operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to American taxpayers. OPIC services are available for new and expanding business enterprises in more than 150 countries worldwide. To date, OPIC has supported more than $200 billion of investment in over 4,000 projects, generated an estimated $75 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 277,000 American jobs.

Popular things are popular for a reason, because they're good, or because Will Smith is in it.
After you go through the fog run all the way to the center right after he blasts you with fire. Stay a good distance from him so you taunt him into using that fire blast. While he's doing that run towards his legs and hit I'm like 2-3 times then run away again an repeat till he's dead.

That looks like a silly way to do it. All I did was wait until he goes to breathe fire while on the ground, hit is foot a few times then when he streches his wings to fly, run towards the fog gate, wait for him to come back down and repeat
Popular things are popular for a reason, because they're good, or because Will Smith is in it.
Dont lock on, make sure you keep his wings in view. The moment they start flapping, book it. If you wait till his feet leave the ground its already too late.

Wow that vid is painful to watch. He continually drains all his stam meleeing so he wont be able to sprint if it flies. Head to the HIS back right and chill by the til about 8 feet from the back right foot.
He will do either tail slam, just back away slightly, it hits more on his left so just by being on the right you will be fine if you back up even one foot, also his feet stomp during this so dont get under em, the back right stomps first so you can go in and get a hit or two if you want after it does. His tail slams twice btw.
He then has aerial fire, because of where you are, he will turn to shoot in your direction aka 90 degrees to the right. Be prepared to sprint and actually start sprinting before he takes off. After a couple times you will learn right where the tail will be. You wanna sprint towards the exact spot on the tail you have been chilling at, note that if he lands on you when he comes down it kills you.
He then has homing aerial fire, he re-aims his aerial fire constantly during this version, if you sprint towards the tail still he will almost 180 but the time he lands. Dealt with the exact same as normal aerial fire except you have to turn more.
His last sorta move is just reposition. He flies up and over to the left or right and lands. Dont let him land on you and get back to your spot ASAP. You have plenty of stam at SL 1 to do this.
Things to watch out for:
the edge. This is what will likely throw a wrench into your plans. Sometimes he backs up all the way to the edge. You have two outs here. 1 his reposition move, 2 his homing fire. In my experience he will never do tail slam when his tail is hanging off the edge so stand between his feet. He may stomp so watch out for that. As soon as he flies you gotta be quick and figure out which way he turned and sprint towards the tail. If he doesnt turn much make sure not to get crushed when he lands. I find he slides himself back against the edge till he is either turned enough to chase him out or near the entrance giving you room again.
stam management: never ever let your stam drain all the way. It disables sprinting for a few seconds and will almost certainly spell death if he flies when you cant sprint. You want to wait till he lands or finishes attacking and get in a few hits. Dont get greedy. Id start by only attacking once and then adding in more per opening till you find out what works.
no delay: sometimes the delay between moves is gone. Always be prepared for this. Iv seen it kill a lot of people. Good luck, if you desperately need help near 2 mil souls you can summon me.

Tokarev vs Glock; safer?

> Tokarev vs Glock; safer?
March 8, 2009, 12:32 AM
Why is it safe to carry a Glock ready to fire, but not a Tokarev in the same condition? Either way the only thing stopping it from shooting, from outward appearances, is just pulling the trigger.

You have arrived at the core of all gun safety, that is a gun will not fire in most circumstances unless the trigger is pulled. From that standpoint, any pistol in "ready to fire" condition is at the same level of safety against something pulling the trigger if all it takes to fire is gripping the gun properly and pulling the trigger. The argument would be that a Glock is somewhat proof against something other than a direct, intentional trigger pull since the trigger will not move if the safety thingy (I really don't like calling it a safety) in the trigger is not depressed. I am a fan of grip safeties for this reason, and they don't effect trigger pull in most cases like trigger thingys can.
There is the issue of safety against drops or other sorts of jostling the weapon. The only fellow I know who accidentally shot himself dropped a Tokarev with hammer down on a live round. The gun was in a shoulder holster. The pistol hit the floor hammer first, pointed at him. He survived, but had permanent damage and health issues.
So it depends on what you mean by safety. Some firearms are not that well configured against impact or part breakage allowing the gun to fire without the trigger being pulled. Again, proper gun handling can ward against that in most cases.

The Glock has a firing pin lock, whereas the Tokarev does not. This means the Tokarev is not "drop safe", while the Glock is. Even the hardest impact should not suffice to make the Glock fire, but the Tokarev, as Grayrider's example indicates, can discharge if dropped and it hits something the right way. Incidentally, that also indicates why condition 2 is a stupid way to carry a single action auto.

The Tokarev was not designed to be carried with a round in the tube. You would draw, rack and fire. Similar to US doctrine with the 1911, despite the fact that the 1911 was designed specifically to be carried with a round in the pipe, hammer cocked, safety on.

That's true enough for how the Tokarev was meant to be carried. But I have to challenge the assertion that the 1911 was designed from the outset by Browning to be carried cocked and locked. It really wasn't. His initial design didn't even include a safety. He added it later after the army expressed concerns about cavalrymen attempting to reholster a cocked pistol that had no way to lower the hammer other than pulling the trigger and easing it down, which is not ideal, especially on horseback. So he added the safety to satisfy the army about that concern, and then, also at their insistence, he added a grip safety as well.
However, having said that, 90+ years of experience have certainly shown beyond doubt that the gun can be safely carried this way by someone who is familiar with its manual of arms.
March 8, 2009, 03:48 PM
Thanks, that explains a lot.
March 8, 2009, 04:15 PM
You are missing the half-cock feature of the Tokarev. I carry a Romanian Tok (which has an afterthought mandated safety that I do not use). I keep it on half-cock, it will not fire without pulling the hammer back to full cock. When I draw, I use my thumb to pull the hammer back while drawing the pistol from the holster. I am ready to fire as the pistol comes up to bear, none of this racking the slide, and no chance of the pistol going off if dropped.
Dan Crocker
March 8, 2009, 04:54 PM
I wasn't missing the idea of carrying on half-cock. But to put the Tokie on half-cock you've got to pull the trigger and lower the hammer. From time to time, our hands always slip...and if you need to get a gun into action quickly, there are far better models out there to use.
March 8, 2009, 05:18 PM
If your hands stand a chance of slipping, don't do it. I've been doing this since 1992 on my Norinco 213 and now my Romanian, I've never had any problem. This is a problem that doesn't exist.
My thumb putting the hammer on full cock as I draw doesn't slow me down a bit. I don't see how I could get any quicker with a different pistol.
I have modified my Romanian to fire the 9x23 Winchester round. This is the ballistic duplicate of the .357 Magnum, but in an autoloader. I get more rounds than a 357 revolver, faster reloads, less recoil, less muzzle blast, and in a much more concealable package. Can you name me another semi-auto pistol that can fire .357 Magnum equivalent loads and costs only $230? If you can, I'll buy it.
EDIT: Incidentally, I just won an auction for a Yugo Tokarev M57. Notice the safety on this one, no need of using the half cock here!:
March 8, 2009, 05:37 PM
very interesting, different safety from normals?
March 8, 2009, 05:55 PM
Totally. The Tok was designed with no safety. Almost all the variants followed this design. I'm only aware of two Tok clones that had a designed in safety, the above M57 and the Tokagypt in 9x19 Luger. Most of the imported Toks had to have a safety added to get past the 1968 Gun Control Act. These after thought safeties are not what I would call either effective or robust.
Here is a picture of the Tokagypt. The Norinco clones used this method.
Here is a pic of the Romanian:
March 8, 2009, 06:40 PM
The Romanian et al versions that had safeties added as an afterthought due to import restrictions usually just block the trigger. That seems to be the case on the Romanian, Polish, and Chinese versions that I've seen.
I have no experience with the Egyptian version., but on the Yugoslav version produced with a safety by the manufacturer (which the EAA-imported M88 seems to be based on), the safety is slide-mounted. I THINK it's similar to a Makarov safety and would block the hammer but I am NOT certain. The M88 also has a magazine safety, but that only serves to block the trigger. I don't know if that was modeled after the M57.
Someone will come along to correct me if I'm wrong.
ps. Oops, I was wrong about the M57s. By default, they don't appear to have a safety, either. The M88 does, however, have a slide-mounted safety, and the gun itself is based on the Tokarev.
pss. OK, found one on a version imported into Canada. I knew I'd seen one somewhere.
March 9, 2009, 05:46 PM
Talking about the Tokarev and the Glock pistol in the same sentence should be grounds for losing your citizenship..
I've had both, and I'm not a Glock lover by any means, but the Tok is basically a pos and the Glock is light years an improvement.
Just personal opinion,
March 9, 2009, 11:24 PM
I'll disagree. I couldn't shoot a Glock, my hand is too small. I can't get my fingertip on that trigger safety. The Tok fits me perfectly. I can shoot 7.62x25, 9x19, and 9x23 Winchester out of it. It is basically the Russian version of the 1911. It was based on a simplified Browning design, and is just as reliable. I had over 55,000 rounds through one of them with not a single FTF or FTE. It is hardly a POS.
Just my personal opinion.
March 10, 2009, 10:37 AM
My apology for spouting my old fart opinion so strongly on the TOK vs the Glock..
What I should have said is that IN MY EXPERIENCE, the Chinese Tokarev I had was a pos, while the Glock 26 I had was an excellent firearm, altho I personally do not care for the "Glock trigger type". (I prefer TDA).
I would surmise that if you have a TOK with 50,000+ rounds through it with nary a bobble you have been exceeding lucky because it that number of rounds fired I would have thought you'd have at least had a few rounds malfunction thru sheer bad ammo.
But I have no reason to doubt what you say, and I'm sure if I had the same experience with MY Tok as you have had I'd be singing the praises of the Tok as you have done.
I burned up hundreds and hundreds of rounds of 9mm ammo thru my Tok and never did get the sucker to shoot reliably, or accurately. I sold it to a buddy who was a firearms instructor at FLETC and he sold it to another instructor who was a master gunsmith and that's the last I heard of it.
Hey, maybe the gunsmith fixed it and sold it to you? :eek:
Again my apology for being a smart butt.
Best Wishes,
March 10, 2009, 07:54 PM
Sorry, Jesse. I shouldn't have gotten my back up so quick. I'm so used to people who have never even fired one stating that they are garbage that sometimes I jump too soon.
I have talked to 2 guys who have gotten bad Norinco 213's (which were made for export). I guess they figured why worry about quality control, it isn't like our army is going to use them.
I must have gotten one that was made on a Tuesday.:)
I load my own ammo, and I am very careful.

Latest news for pioglitazone
Average Rating: 4.9 out of 5 based on 272 user reviews.
Just a quick up date to say that I felt my exam went really well. At the end of the day, I had tallied enough points for a pass (from my verification) but as many of you know, that could be a different story once grading takes place.
Unfortuntely pioglitazone, I had a couple of tasks worth a total of 5 points that I just couldn't get to work. These were fairly simple tasks that I have completed many times during my studies, but could not get them to work. Very frustrating, as that could be a deciding factor. [pioglitazone] At this moment I am in San Jose waiting to catch my flight home and hope my results are ready by the time I land in Dallas this afternoon for my connecting flight.

Best Near-Death Experience
Citizens, beware! Even teenie-pop hack fame cannot protect you from the dangers of Florida's Turnpike! Witness the fate of young Aaron Carter, the auteur/snot behind such schoolyard hits as "That's How I Beat Shaq" and "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)." The 17-year-old was piloting his Escalade to Orlando shortly after midnight on January 8 when a mattress reportedly blew off the back of a delivery truck near Sample Road, became lodged under Carter's Caddy, and ignited a fire that engulfed the vehicle. Carter and a companion escaped the blaze unhurt. According to some random teen-heartthrob websites, this is not Carter's first experience in tight spots: He simultaneously dated former Nickelodeon jailbait Hillary Duff and barely legal bombshell Lindsay Lohan, infuriating both of them. Also, he was once sucked into quicksand up to his waist before his family pulled him out. The Reaper grows frustrated.

Mafia Cocaine Ring Ran Through Beverly Hills?
A mob-connected drug trafficker was living right under our noses in Beverly Hills, helping to stash kilos of cocaine, make deals with the Sinaloa drug cartel and move millions of dollars worth of drugs for the Rizzuto organized crime family of La Cosa Nostra.
Those are the facts of the case for 39-year-old Alessandro Taloni, who today pleaded guilty in New York to federal drug-trafficking charges:
Taloni had a Mercedes-Benz, a place in Beverly Hills and a drug stash house in the L.A. area, feds said.
Agents found 49 kilos of cocaine and $1.6 million in cash when they raided those holdings. Not to mention the more than $10 million in drug proceeds seized from the narco-operation as a whole, according to a statement from prosecutors.

TicketsTue., Oct. 4, 7:00pm
That's a lot of drug money.
Feds contend Taloni was not only helping to obtain and move drugs for his bosses but also helping to launder profits.
He was sent from the organization's Montreal headquarters to L.A. to purchase major quantities of coke from Mexican drug lords, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Says U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch of the Eastern District of New York, where Taloni was prosecuted:
Taloni was a major narcotics distributor who used his connections to powerful
international organized crime groups to obtain and distribute tens of millions of dollars' worth of deadly narcotics.
Here's how the convict fit into the organization, according to a U.S. Attorney's statement:
Taloni was charged with narcotics and money laundering offenses as a part of an indictment in which ten members of a Montreal-based drug distribution organization affiliated with the Rizutto and Bonanno crime families, the Hells Angels and the Sinaloa Cartel have been charged with trafficking over $1 billion worth of marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy into the United States between 1998 and 2012. The organization allegedly transported tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana from outdoor growers in British Colombia to Montreal, Canada, and controlled numerous warehouses in and around Montreal for the manufacture of ecstasy and hydroponic marijuana. The drugs were smuggled into the United States using transportation networks run by the Hells Angels and Native American co-conspirators from the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation along the U.S./Canadian border. Once the drugs were sold in the United States, much of it by distributors tied to the Bonanno crime family in New York, the organization used millions of dollars in drug proceeds to purchase more cocaine from the powerful Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico for exportation to and distribution in Canada.
Feds say Beverly Hills police helped to take Taloni down. He faces a max of 10 years behind bars when he's sentenced and will forfeit $2,663,191 in tainted cash, prosecutors said.

I think the PS3 is cool with its affordable blue ray and hard drive now that the price is coming down.
The problem with the PS3 is that it is so expensive to develop games for. It's going to take 2 or 3 years before third party developers can _consistently_ produce high quality games for it.
Another thing that I can't stress enough is that the Wiimote configuration makes FPS games fun on the console whereas before they were only fun on the PC. The mouse and keyboard is far better than PS3 and 360 controllers but only a little better than the wiimote.
I think pretty much everyone's ideal system is a system created with 360 online, PS3 technology after about 3 years maturity and the Wii's control system.

The biggest mergers in further education may be happening in the cities, but the grandest building projects right now are taking place in leafier spots. Prize for the priciest reconstruction, at £95m, goes to the College of West Anglia. Second place will go to North Devon College, if its £78m project wins approval this summer.
At first glance, North Devon looks a minnow, too small a place to warrant such a lump of money. Many would describe its home, Barnstaple, as a backwater, and the college is a story of old-style further education: tatty, dated buildings, obscurely located.
But look at the wider map and you'll see the area cries out for better. North Devon serves a catchment area of 800 square miles, stretching from South Molton, mid-county, to Bude in north Cornwall, covering a population of 150,000. It has 13,000 learners, 3,000 of them full-time, 860 staff and turns over £27m.
"The next nearest FE college is East Devon, 30 miles away at Tiverton," says the principal, David Dodd. "It's a remote part of the country. We're quite isolated - effectively there's only one road in and one out."
When Dodd arrived two years ago, North Devon was at a crossroads. "The college was exploring development of its higher education facility, but the location makes it difficult for people wanting to go on to higher education," he says.
"We had obsolete buildings in poor repair. We'd also expanded rapidly and had to lease properties around the town. We didn't feel we'd raise aspirations by having a college that's hidden away. So instead of doing things bit by bit, we decided to look at a vision for the future."
The dominant industries in north Devon are tourism, agriculture and manufacturing, notably pharmaceuticals and electronics. But, Dodd says, the skills level is low. He saw an opportunity. "We needed a high-profile structure at the heart of the community," he says.
If all goes to plan, the new building will open in September 2011 on a seven-acre site by the River Taw that was once used for landfill. The project will also include a new vocational centre in Bideford.
The college is likely to seek around £50m from the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). There will be further money from disposal of the current site. Funding is also expected from the University of Plymouth, of which North Devon is a franchise partner, and the Regional Development Agency (for a technology transfer unit).
But will this sparkling enterprise put schools with sixth forms at a disadvantage? Dodd says not. "We have a brilliant relationship; they support what we're doing. Bideford College is building a new school and we're developing a vocational skills centre alongside. We look to work closely with schools."
John Chudley, area director for Devon and Cornwall LSC, doesn't think other providers will suffer. "What you tend to find with new build is widening access and participation," he says. "You see a percentage increase - there's evidence to show that. Investment in Truro hasn't taken away numbers from sixth forms. It's attracted new learners who possibly would have moved away.
"If you look at the 14-19 agenda, things are different in rural areas. You need colleges to work in partnership and David Dodd has built up good relationships. You will need that sort of facility [the new college] if you're to deliver all the diplomas."
North Devon will tick various green boxes. There will be no car park, and the idea is to tie in with Barnstaple's park-and-ride scheme. It will feature "rainwater harvesting" and a wood-fuel heating system. Details have yet to be finalised and the design will be put out to tender. But its principle will be: if you've got it, flaunt it.
"We want to take the college and turn it inside out," says Dodd. "Some skills areas will be a showcase to the outside world, such as our riverside restaurants. We'll be trying to say: this is what you can expect from catering in north Devon.
"The same will apply to retail, hairdressing, performing arts. We'll be laying down a challenge to local businesses, saying this is want people want - come and train your people here. We have a once-in-a-century chance to make a dramatic step forward for our community. We must get it bang on right."

Catalogue entry
Günther Uecker born 1930
T00684 White Field
Inscribed 'Weisses Feld | Uecker | 64' on the back
Painted nails on canvas-covered composition board, 34 1/4 x 34 1/4 x 3 (87 x 87 x 7.5)
Purchased from the artist through the McRoberts and Tunnard Gallery (Knapping Fund) 1964
Exh: Group Zero, McRoberts and Tunnard Gallery, London, June-July 1964 (22)
Repr: René Huyghe (ed.), Larousse Encyclopedia of Modern Art (London 1965), pl.1033; Michael Compton, Optical and Kinetic Art (London 1967), pl.21
The artist has written of this (22 May 1965):
'This work White Field is an important and typical work from the series Fields in Movement.
'The other works of the series are in private collections and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Museum at Wuppertal and the Städtische Galerie, Bochum.
'It is a question of the development of a series on a theme. The affinity between the objects becomes apparent in juxtaposition and at the same time each field has an independent unity.
'The basic theme is the organic development of a point in differently directed paths of movement to create fields of oscillation.
'I was working on this theme for a year and produced 20 works. The series was first shown at the Galerie Ad Libitum in Antwerp in April 1964. Two of these works were afterwards in the Documenta exhibition at Kassel.'
This example is particularly close to one bought from the McRoberts and Tunnard exhibition (no.21) by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and reproduced in Art International, VII, 20 October 1964, p.57.

So glad we did this! Only wish we had done it at the beginning of our trip. The way the museum and our guide pulled the early history and cultures together really deepened our understanding. 45,000 artifacts. It was truly amazing. Just wish we had been able to spend more time there
Daniel passionately guided us through the museum with patience and insights. He was as comfortable and professional explaining the highlights of the treasures throughout the museum as he was guiding us through possible explanations of the sculptures in the erotica museum. The dinner at the end of the tour was good, but not spectacular.
James S United States of ...
Great tour with wonderful guide going to the museum when it was almost empty. Our guide was very knowledgable and walked us through each exhibit explaining the entire time. Then dinner at the onsite restaurant in the beautiful lit garden, a truly memorable experience, thank you Victor and Julio our driver.
A wonderful way to learn about the history and anthropology of Peru. Natalie was a fantastic guide - informative, knowledgeable, and fun. Everything went smoothly from the pick-up at our hotel, guide through the museum and very nice dinner.
One of my favorite activities in Lima!!! Really enjoyed the evening. Small, private tour, and the museum is just wonderful. Highly recommend.
This tour was absolutely magical! Highly recommend it. The grounds of bougainvillea flowers, courtyard and private collection of artifacts by an archeologist are amazing. We could have spent hours looking at everything. Some of the jewelry would be considered contemporary in style even though it's 3000 years old. Our guide Daniel was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The pottery collection was extensive. The gifts shop had high quality items too. To top it all off -- the dinner in the restaurant was over the top. It's an elegant restaurant with comfortable surrounding next to the gardens and large villa courtyard. Jaqui was our waitress and she was wonderful, funny, delightful and super efficient. The food was outstanding and was our best meal in Lima. Worth the trip since it's in town but very secluded and private inside the villa compound. AAA
Everything was amazing, the pick up at our hotel was timely, the knowledgeable and lovely guide was great, and dinner was perfect. The Larco Museum at night is such a wonderful sight, I consider it a must when in Lima.
Excellent!! From the great driver who picked me up from the hotel to the guides it was a very nice tour. The dinner was fantastic. This tour is after hours so you really have the great collection of 45,000 pieces to view by yourself and your guide.
The museum was lovely at night and our guide made the exhibits come alive. It made our overnight cruise ship stop memorable.
Perfeito,excelente guia !
Felt like we had the museum to ourselves. Really enjoyed our guide and the information that she provided not only on the artifacts but how they relate in historical context.
The guide was very knowledgable. Very small tour which was fine with us. Comfortable transportation.
First, let me say that Lima's traffic is the worst I have seen in world. There is no Metro, the country is very poor and Lima's traffic is solid stop and go 24x7. Many times, it is 'stop' and crawl. Allow PLENTY of time to get from the cruise terminal to a pickup point. That said...
This tour was amazing! We had a party of 4 and our guide, Gabby. This was her first tour. She was terrific. Her English was fine and her knowledge, without notes or a tablet was unbelievable. She walked us through this closed museum from early Peruvian cultures through the Inca's and Spanish conquest. The tour was educational, quite, very impressive. It was at least an hour, seemed like a long time but a 'good' long time if you know what I mean. Then, dinner.
The restaurant was great. We asked and were seated outside. Food was fine and we ordered items we never had before (did not have to as there were other items available). Excellent.
About 11 PM we had to return to the ship through very heavy traffic (yes, even that late).
In all, this is well worth it.
Wow! Larco is very impressive. Timely pick up and drop off. Good meal. Ended up as last couple at museum after dinner. This felt a little bit awkward at times but the artifacts are so impressive!
My guide was exceptional - highly knowledgeable, really enthusiastic about his field and his enthusiasm and excitement was infectious. The collection is absolutely superb and brilliantly lit. Dinner was great. I enjoyed my visit to the Larco so much that I went back a second time the next day! I told so many people I met in Peru about how excellent this tour was/is...... I'd regard it as a real highlight of my trip. Thank you!!
Lloyd USA
Great Guide and just the 4 of us. Dinner was excellent
Really enjoyed this tour and dinner. Had museum to ourselves with private guide. Dinner was great.
This was our third tour of the day. Again, the pickup was on time and we were delivered to the museum. We were the only people, my wife and myself. It was a private guided tour of the museum. We loved it. The guide was very knowledgeable. Miguel was great. He knew the complete history of Peru, and was obviously very proud of his heritage. After the tour, we sat down at the restaurant that is under the museum. We had a very enjoyable meal. It was our first introduction to Peruivan food. Again, we really liked it. Once the meal was finished, the driver picked us up outside the museum and deliveried us back to our hotel.
Jack A USA
Museum tour was detailed and in depth. Very interesting, the private dinner for
two in a resaurant with at least 45 seats was an experience
This is really a worthwhile and enjoyable tour. My husband and I and our daughter and one of her friends who are students at Universidad Catolica had a great time. The english speaking guide was excellent and gave you real sense of history and civilization in Peru. The collection at that Larco is not to be missed. Then, topping the experience off with a fine dining experience was the icing on the cake.
The tour was excellent...guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable...I really recommend it!
Awesome! Really enjoyed it!
Bandit USA
Great tour! Really cool to see some of the museums that Lima has to offer. Great to do on a rainy day!
Our Gabriela was very knowledgeable and provided a really good tour. The Museum is beautiful and well worth visiting. There was major downside, when I called to book the tour was told we would be picked up about 6:30, as it turned out we were not picked up until 7:30 and after driving to the Museum and doing the tour it was after 9 pm before we were taken to the restaurant to eat, this really interfered with my enjoyment of the tour. Way too late to eat and would not have booked if I had been told the truth. This would be a great tour if it started much earlier so that you could eat by 7:30 8 at the latest.
Very interesting museum but we only had one hour in it so felt somewhat rushed to see the main items. The meal was OK but felt a little strange as we were the only ones eating at 9.00pm. Suggest starting earlier for the visit to give more time.

Equity hedge funds make the grade
The Financial News fourth annual Awards for Excellence in Institutional Hedge Fund Management, Europe, 2014, come after a year in which the industry gained 9.24% but underperformed wider equity markets. Accommodative central bank policies in the US and Europe helped equity managers be among the best performers, according to Hedge Fund Research. Managers benefited from a good environment for stock-pickers as correlations between sectors and stocks dropped, and corporate activity picked up.
Against this backdrop, this year's Financial News hedge fund awards were dominated by equities-focused manager Lansdowne Partners, which won the Best Hedge Fund Manager in Long/Short fund (over $3 billion) and Best Hedge Fund Manager Overall categories.
The firm's long-standing developed markets strategy managers Peter Davies and Stuart Roden were also the editorial choice for Outstanding Individual Contribution of the year at the awards ceremony at One Mayfair, London, last week. The pair netted gains of $3.2 billion in 2013 – more than any other manager in Europe, according to fund of hedge funds manager LCH Investments.
It was a tougher year for managed futures specialists, which use complex computer algorithms to capture trends in global markets. Unpredictable central bank intervention created big swings in markets and wrong-footed many. However, managed futures pioneer and winner in this category, Winton Capital Management, was largely immune from the losses felt by many of its peers last year thanks to a higher weighting to equities. BlueCrest Capital Management's BlueTrend, run by president Leda Braga, was among the managed futures funds to suffer. The difficult environment was reflected in one particular award. After three consecutive years of winning Most Influential Woman in the European Hedge Fund Industry, Braga ceded the prize to Anita Nemes, global head of capital introduction at Deutsche Bank, who is the main go-between for Deutsche's hedge fund clients and the global investor base.
Michael Hintze's credit specialist firm CQS, which won a hat-trick at last year's Financial News awards, retained its title as Best Hedge Fund Manager in Credit and came second to Marshall Wace in the Best Multi-Hedge Fund Manager category.
In response to changes in the market, Financial News this year combined the award for Best Fund of Hedge Funds with Most Pioneering Institutional Investor in Hedge Funds, to create a single category of Best Allocator to Hedge Funds. The move reflects a blurring of definitions within the investor base, where funds of funds are evolving to become advisers, consultants are setting up funds of funds, and pension funds are building in-house teams to invest directly in hedge funds.
The Financial News Awards for Excellence in Institutional Hedge Fund Management, Europe, 2014 are independent and fee-free. The editors draw on information and data from investors, analysts, buyside firms and other industry experts to compile a longlist of nominees. Five nominations were shortlisted for each of the 12 categories. A panel of 44 judges comprising a wide range of industry experts scored each shortlisted nominee out of five. Votes are vetted by the editors for conflicts of interest: judges may not vote for themselves or their company, their parent company, a direct subsidiary or a firm in which their company holds a controlling stake. Any such votes are removed. The candidate with the highest adjusted average score wins.

I'm back from vacation and getting ready to start using my recently inherited vintage oven! The covered part in the middle is a flattop...perfect for eggs and potatoes to serve with toast. Also pictured are three Dansk baking containers I just picked up at a resale shop. Looking forward to using all of these new old items to bake some sourdough. Will keep you all posted....
I love Vintage kitchen things. Your oven looks pretty cool. P.S. I've gone crazy with baking bread... Thanks for your class it was awesome.
My mom had a similar oven sans the flattop. Wow, brings back memories! It lasted a long time and lots of great dinners were cooked there!
Thanks for all the nice comments. the pots are OK for baking...just a little small.
