School Committee plans public forum on issues, tour of facility at East Providence High School
EAST PROVIDENCE — In an effort to maintain some transparency and to involve the public in the process, the East Providence School Committee, at its meeting Tuesday night, Jan. 14, announced it would conduct an open forum on the status of improvements to the structure of East Providence High School.
The forum is tentatively scheduled to take place Wednesday evening, Jan. 22, in the EPHS auditorium at 6 p.m. Visit epschoolsri.com for confirmation. Those who attend will have the opportunity to participate in a walk-through of the building led City Facilities Manager Ed Catelli and members of the Committee.
"We want to keep everyone informed and give them an opportunity to hear and see what's going on at the high school," East Providence School Committee Chairman Joel Monteiro said following Tuesday's meeting.
The status of the EPHS building has become an increasingly urgent issue in recent months and weeks, especially so after the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) affirmed its decision last fall to put the school on probation or one step closer to losing its accreditation. If it ever did, EPHS would become the first school of any kind to have NEASC take away its stamp of approval.
At the heart of the problems with the high school are its plumbing deficiencies and its lack of technological capabilities. A plan is already in place to upgrade science labs at EPHS, but construction on that project has been slow in development, which has raised the ire of many, including Ward 2 Committee member Anthony Ferreira, who voiced his displeasure on such matters at Tuesday's meeting. The cost of addressing the plumbing and hygiene issues at the school have been estimated to come with a price tag of between $9 and $13 million.
"Most everyone has heard about the problems we're facing with the high school. This is a chance for them to see it for themselves. We're trying to keep everything above board, make people aware of what's going on every step in the process," Mr. Monteiro added.
Middle school cheerleaders
A recent misunderstanding over the use of system facilities during after-school hours brought to light the fact that the competitive cheerleading programs at both Riverside and Martin Middle Schools had not been officially sanctioned by the School Committee.
Mr. Monteiro noted the programs, prior to a vote of approval by the Committee Tuesday, were not covered under the district's liability insurance. The Committee changed that with its unanimous vote sanctioning the cheerleading squads. In addition, they were formally brought under the auspices of the system athletic department currently headed by Bob Duarte.
Admission to Kindergarten
The Committee heard a discussion on clarifying the admission process of youngsters to Kindergarten.
A change in state policy some 15 years ago made only those children who reach the age of five by September 1 of each year eligible to begin Kindergarten at the start of the annual school term. East Providence's cut-off date has been a bit more arbitrary, allowing children who reach the age of five by as last as October to start Kindergarten if space was available.
Ward 1 Committee member Elizabeth Clupny noted the "gray" area and voiced her support to the institution of a specific date to end any possible future discrepancies with the policy.
Naming policies
The Committee gave its initial approval to an amended policy on the naming of new or existing school buildings.
Superintendent Kim Mercer presented the changes Tuesday, specifying among other things the names of schools should be easily identifiable, should hold specific meaning to students and should have some kind of geographical significance. In addition, any future naming of buildings must be presented at a public hearing for debate by the community.
New EPHS clubs
The Committee gave its approval to a pair of new clubs at East Providence High School, a Rotary Youth Leader Club called "Interact" and an official Art Club.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
May 27, 2014
This is the time of year that many wild families increase their numbers, hatching or giving birth to a new generation. For goose and duck families, this is a perilous time for their young ducklings and goslings as they help their newly-hatched babies make their way from their nest site to nearby ponds and streams. Ducks and geese tend to choose their nesting sites based on criteria that doesn't always make sense to our human minds. Particularly in urban areas, they often select areas like cement islands in the middle of parking lots, or enclosed school courtyards, that may seem like less-than-ideal choices from our perspective. However, these areas often have features that meet the needs of the nesting waterfowl – a wide, unobstructed view of approaching predators for a nesting goose pair, or a camouflaged nest site for a single female mallard.In most cases, once the babies hatch the newly-formed family will make its way to a nearby water source with little difficulty. However, there are some situations where intervention may be required to help the new family get to safety. These challenging situations can include:
Whenever possible, these potentially problematic situations should be addressed by or with the help of an experienced wildlife handler. The BC SPCA Wildlife Hotline (1-855-6BC-SPCA) can help assess these situations and direct callers on how best to assist these web-footed families. BC SPCA Wild ARC has also compiled a few tips and tricks to keep in mind to help determine whether duck or goose families might need help during hatching season. Once families have made it safely to their chosen water source, young birds will remain with their mother (in the case of mallards) or in larger groups of adults and other babies (in the case of geese) for several months, learning all of the survival skills and social behaviours they will need to survive in the wild. Because geese and ducks move together in groups from their nest site to nearby lakes or ponds, and remain there rather than returning to their nest site, ducklings and goslings found on their own with no adult in site are very likely orphaned and in need of help. If you spot a baby goose or duck on its own, contact the BC SPCA Wildlife Hotline (1-855-6BC-SPCA) for advice right away.
Ever wonder how to tell ducklings and goslings apart? At first glance these downy yellow babies can seem very similar, but they have distinct differences in size and colour that can help distinguish them. Mallard ducklings are much smaller than their gosling counterparts, and they have dark chocolate brown and yellow markings with a distinct dark line through their eye – almost as if it was drawn on with eyeliner! In contrast, goslings are an olive-green and yellow colour, and they lack the distinct line through their eye. The top picture below shows several mallard ducklings in care at Wild ARC, while the second picture shows a few Canada Goose goslings in care. This time of year is prime time for spotting duck and goose families, so next time you spot a family group, see if you can use these tips to tell which babies are which – without relying on the nearby adult birds for help!

Skip to comments.Desiline Victor- sorry to burst the happy bubble but
Posted on 02/13/2013 10:23:50 AM PST by Starman417
Desiline Victor was one of the props used by Barack Obama in his State of the Union Address. She has been widely celebrated in the press largely because she waited three hours to vote for Obama.
Daily Mail
A 102-year-old woman has been chosen to sit next to Michelle Obama at the annual State of the Union address in Washington.
Desaline Victor, a naturalized U.S citizen from Miami, Florida, waited for more than three hours to cast her ballot for the President on November 6.
Ms Victor will sit in the First Ladys box with military families, people who are championing immigration reform and victims of gun violence.
Haitian born Ms Victor, who is known as Granny in her local community, expressed her surprise at the opportunity.
About what she said- we'll be revisiting that.
"White House Officials say that Ms Victor represents the minorities and immigrants who stand to benefit from the policies President Obama will discuss in his speech"
They got that part right.
...During his address, Obama cited Victor as an example worth following, saying she was concerned about "whether folks like her would get to have their say."
Tampa Bay Times:
...In his speech, President Barack Obama said we should follow Victor's example.
"When she arrived at her polling place, she was told the wait to vote might be six hours,'' Obama said, "And as time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say.''
And there's lots more. The first question that popped into my mind was "What kind of people would make a centenarian wait three hours to vote?" Why wasn't she immediately granted access to the front of the line?
I guess that what they do in North Miami.
let's examine why the President says we need immigration reform:
Real reform means fixing the legal immigration system to cut waiting periods, reduce bureaucracy, and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers that will help create jobs and grow our economy.
"attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers"
Like Desiline Victor, right? How much has she contributed to the system? How much has she paid in income and social security taxes?
We're going to strengthen the economy by importing 80 year olds with no skills and who cannot speak English and who are wholly dependent on the government for support?
(excerpt) Read more at floppingaces.net...
I believe her name is Kreyol for "unsalted winner."
If she were Caucasian, we would have never heard of her. Racism at its worse.
Real reform means fixing the legal immigration system to cut waiting periods, reduce bureaucracy, and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers that will help create jobs and grow our economy.
Sounds like a good idea... and maybe it could apply as well when the 'obamacare' sham goes into full force and people are sitting around with a number in their hand, waiting for medical attention!! Because you can bet the farm that, THAT system will be paralysed with bureaucracy and WAITING PERIODS, etc. AND I am pretty sure the 'wait' won't assure that you'll actually see a MEDICAL DOCTOR... you will see whichever 'low achieving, bust-out gov't employee' felt like showing up for work that day...! If you get an appropriate greeting or prompt and professional attention, it will be a miracle.
Unless you are an elected thief. I screamed when this crap was being pushed as to why are we letting them pass a bill that excludes. Serfdom as its best.
At our polling place anybody over 70 years of age was pushed to the head of the line.

Kamehameha Schools Chief Executive Officer Dee Jay Mailer Monday announced plans to retire at the end of 2014.
"Today, I have notified our trustees of my decision to retire from Kamehameha Schools in 2014, providing our trustees with ample time to properly recruit your new chief executive officer," Mailer said in an email to faculty and staff. "Retirement means I will step out of a role I have been very fortunate to be in for 10 years at Kamehameha Schools.
"However, I will never leave Kamehameha's mission, people, or the kuleana that has been a blessed part of my life."
Kamehameha Schools confirmed Mailer's pending retirement in a news release.
"Dee Jay's engaging leadership style, unwavering commitment and strong values have helped to manage Kamehameha Schools through challenging times," Micah Kane, board of trustees chairman, said in a news release. "Most importantly, she supported trustees in their successful defense of Kamehameha Schools' Hawaiian preference admissions policy, allowing the Schools to fulfill its mission of creating educational opportunities to improve the capability and well being of Hawaiian people."
School officials say another announcement from the board is expected once the steps for choosing a successor are in place. Mailer has planned her retirement with the trustees and in connection with the unveiling of a new 2015-2030 Strategic Plan for Kamehameha Schools.
Mailer joined Kamehameha Schools as chief executive in January 2004. She previously served as chief operating officer of the Global Fund, an independent, public-private partnership and multi-billion-dollar trust based in Switzerland. Prior to that she held executive leadership positions at Health Net, Inc. in Woodland Hills, Calif., and was CEO of Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Honolulu.
She is a 1970 graduate of Kamehameha Schools and has a B.S. in Professional Nursing and an M.B.A from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Review Elizabeth City State University
Hello, My name is Latrice Brothers and I am currently a student at Elizabeth City State University. I'm a junior majoring in Aviation Science and I can honestly say that I am truly proud to be a mighty Viking. Since my freshman year I have met amazing individuals that want to see me grow and move beyond the university. College is a great and fun experience but its not just about the parties. Being in the Aviation program my advisors are hardworking people who don't mind going the extra mile to make sure that each student in that department are getting the help they need to graduate within their 4 years.
For a small school, this school has truly impressed me. I have regained my passion and strive for my interest and talents in Mathematics. I received my Bachelors Degree here and I am pursuing my Masters now. My teachers have a strong interest in fueling my passion and raising me higher and higher in my studies and intellect in this field. They believe in me and in turn it makes me believe in myself more and more.
I have realized that there has been much construction occurring on campus during the summer. Many of the facilities could use some help because some are older. They have done a really good with the buildings that have been constructed in the previous years. There are a lot of spots on campus where students can just stop and hang out that are convenient. Although the library is not one of the buildings that have been newly constructed, they have more than enough resources available. The students themselves are always coming up with event ideas, like now they already many events planned out for Welcome Back Week. The faculty and staff usually support the students with their ideas.

Artist Statement on Climate Change for The Land Foundation: Seoidin O'SullivanClimate Change
Climate Change is the human race finally comprehending the impact our modern livelihoods and lifestyles are having on our natural environment. It is an opportunity for a large, collective realisation that some of our modern life choices and ways of living have a destructive effect on ourselves, our communities, other countries(usually poorer nations suffer the worst health consequences) and our planet. This knowing is not new. Many wise people have warned us about this over the last 100 years or more(see Silent Spring, Rachel Carson and The One Straw Revolution,Masanobu Fukuoka), but unfortunately we did not listen. Climate change is the environmental crisis reaching such a logger-head that the evidence can no longer be hidden or the truth denied. Averting or even slowing down Climate Change may seem like a daunting task, but many inspiring small-scale local projects all over the world give evidence that other ways of living and being are indeed possible. In order to address Climate Change we need to make lasting connections between the political, environmental, socio-economic and cultural facets of our lives. We need to comprehend that we all have a shared responsibility to bring about the necessary changes so that together we can set a new direction towards a more sustainable planet that works with and has a deep respect for nature.
Climate Change is a cultural as well as an environmental challenge. The Arts community globally (like so many other professional and business industries) has been very slow to even acknowledge climate change. Through cross disciplinary dialogues and the sharing of information and knowledge, we have the opportunity to creatively address and discover how this challenge can be met with solutions that will make a better world possible now and for the future.

Huskies Score 20 in Fourth to Take 40-16 Win over Bearcats
Oct. 25, 2008
Final Stats | Game Book |
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Donald Brown ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns and Connecticut scored 20 fourth-quarter points to beat Cincinnati 40-16 on Saturday.
Redshirt freshman David Teggart, making his first career start, hit four field goals as the Huskies (6-2, 2-1 Big East) won their 11th consecutive home game.
Quarterback Cody Endres, another redshirt freshman starting for the first time, completed 18 of 42 passes for 196 yards.
Brown had just 80 yards late into the fourth quarter before a 54-yard run. He scored from 5 yards to make it 33-16, breaking open what had been a close game.
Robert McClain returned his second interception of the game 28 yards for a touchdown to close out the scoring.
Tony Pike and Chazz Anderson combined to throw for 259 yards for Cincinnati (5-2, 1-1). Pike started for the first time since breaking his left (non-throwing) arm against Akron on Sept. 27, but only made it through the first half.
He was 10-of-27 for 136 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but Anderson took over after intermission. He was 9-of-20 for 123 yards and two interceptions.
The Huskies' defense held Cincinnati to just 30 yards rushing.
Teggart's 47-yard field goal into a 20-mph wind gave UConn a 20-16 with 19 seconds left in the third quarter. He hit a 32-yarder less than 2 minutes later after UConn's C.J. Marck stripped Mardy Gilyard of the ensuing kickoff.
McClain returned an interception 40 yards, to set up another field goal.
Cincinnati scored less than 2 minutes into the game, after Connor Barwin came up the middle to block his third punt of the season. That set up the first of three field goals from sophomore Jake Rogers, a 29-yarder. The Bearcats' kicker also hit a 54-yarder with the wind at his back just before the half to give the Bearcats a 13-10 lead. The kick was the third longest in Big East history, and the second longest for Rogers, who hit from 55 yards as a freshman against Oregon St.
After going 3-and-out in his first drive, Endres led UConn on a 10-play 57-yard drive the next time he got the ball, setting up Teggart from 26 yards.
Endres, UConn's third-string quarterback, played in place of sophomore Zach Frazer, who suffered a head injury a week ago in a loss to Rutgers, and senior Tyler Lorenzen, who went down in September with a knee injury.
UConn's Jasper Howard returned a 59-yard Kevin Huber punt 25 yards, setting up the Huskies' first touchdown drive. Brown scored from the 2 when he hurdled cornerback DeAngelo Smith in the backfield, then outraced the Bearcat defense to the corner of the end zone, leaping in to give UConn its first lead at 10-3.
Pike needed just six plays to bring the Bearcats back down the field, completing five consecutive passes, the last a 27-yard strike to Mardy Gilyard who scored his sixth touchdown of the season.
UConn freshman Jordan Todman took a pitch into the end zone from a yard to cap a seven-play 65-yard drive that gave Connecticut a 17-13 lead with 11:10 left in the third quarter. The drive was highlighted by a 34-yard pass from Endres to freshman wideout Michael Smith.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
Downy mildew causes light green to yellow angular spots on the upper surfaces of leaves. White fluffy growth of the pathogen develops on the lower sides of these spots. With time these lesions turn brown and dry up. Older leaves are attacked first. Severely infected leaves may die. On rare occasions the pathogen can become systemic, causing dark discoloration of stem tissue.
If downy mildew infects the cotyledons of young seedlings, the plants can die. Greenhouse grown lettuce transplants can also be infected.
Damp, cool conditions and moisture on leaves are required for the pathogen to infect lettuce and cause symptoms to develop. The short-lived spores are dispersed by winds during moist periods. Cultivated lettuce is the main host. Bremia lactucae apparently does not survive in the soil.
Bremia lactucae is a complex organism, consisting of multiple races (pathotypes) in California. New races continue to occur as the pathogen changes. Bremia lactucae has been reported to infect other plants such as artichoke, cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), and strawflower (Helichrysum bracteatum). Because B. lactucae isolates from these other hosts generally only infect the original host, B. lactucae probably consists of a number of host-specific forms. Within each pathotype, some isolates have developed a lack of sensitivity to some fungicides.
The most effective means of controlling downy mildew is to grow resistant cultivars. Some cultivars are resistant to most isolates of B. lactucea currently in California. However, such resistant cultivars are not available for all areas and seasons. Also, because the pathogen is highly variable and dynamic, resistant cultivars do not remain resistant indefinitely and are overcome by virulent isolates of B. lactucea.
In the absence of resistant cultivars, the alternative is to apply fungicides before the development of the disease. Greenhouse grown transplants should especially be protected so that downy mildew is not distributed and brought to the field on transplants.
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, such as drip irrigation, that reduce leaf wetness and humidity should reduce the severity of disease but will not prevent disease when weather conditions are conducive to epidemics.

It has been over four years since I was last here and as you might expect the island has changed quite a bit, not least where Lynda lives. Her house has been finished a rental house up the hill has also been completed. Both houses are located in a 370 acre private estate on the western end of the island that for many years was owned by the Corning family who came here when they weren't messing around with glass up in New York
It was such a relief to dump our bags at the house knowing that we would be in one place for two weeks: no buses, no dirty hostels and no cold bits in the middle of the night. The view from the bedroom wasn't bad either: a private beach split the Atlantic to the left and the Caribbean Sea to the right with a few deserted islands dotted on each.
Lynda and her husband Marshall had a new addition to the family in a two-week-old kitten called M who Marshall rescued the humane society just as the vet was filling a syringe with sleeping juice. Unfortunately the mother wasn't so lucky and so we had to bottle feed and potty train him as he meowed and climbed all over us. Fortunately Wendy is a cat lover!
It was while M was being bottled-fed on our third day that the ceiling fans stopped turning and the music stopped. Now power cuts aren't that uncommon in this part of the world but they're normally caused by storms or hurricanes but this particular problem was unique just to us. After many phone calls the power company blamed the contractors working in the estate and the contractors blamed the power company. The mossies were out in force in the still air and with the water pumps being electric we couldn't shower, wash the dishes or even flush the toilets. It was paradise with a very small pee!
By now Lynda and Marshall were getting pretty pissed off with the whole situation, not least because the renters in the house up the hill did a runner to a fancy hotel after Marshall had already booked them into and paid for one
Eventually the power came back and we went back to clean out the spoiled food in the fridges and to have some cocktails in the swimming pool as the sun set. It wasn't to last though as we lost power again a couple more times during the week, and the whole island was knocked out during a spectacular electrical storm one night. It seemed like we were bringing bad luck!
Despite the disruption Wendy and I were having a great time but Lynda and Marshall were getting a bit stressed so they had booked a sailing trip for us all over to the British Virgin Islands. So next stop was back to Blighty..... sort of.

Evelina HTML version
Letter 26
Evelina To The Rev. Mr. Villars Howard Grove, April 27
O MY dear Sir, I now write in the greatest uneasiness! Madame Duval has made
a proposal which terrifies me to death, and which was as unexpected as it is
She had been employed for some hours this afternoon in reading letters from
London: and, just about tea-time, she sent for me into her room, and said, with a
look of great satisfaction, "Come here, child, I've got some very good news to tell
you: something that will surprise you, I'll give you my word, for you ha'n't no
notion of it."
I begged her to explain herself; and then, in terms which I cannot repeat, she
said she had been considering what a shame it was to see me such a poor
country, shame-faced thing, when I ought to be a fine lady; and that she had
long, and upon several occasions, blushed for me, though she must own the fault
was none of mine; for nothing better could be expected from a girl who had been
so immured. However, she assured me she had, at length, hit upon a plan, which
would make quite another creature of me.
I waited, without much impatience, to hear what this preface led to; but I was
soon awakened to more lively sensations, when she aquainted me, that her
intention was to prove my birthright, and to claim, by law, the inheritance of my
real family!
It would be impossible for me to express my extreme consternation when she
thus unfolded her scheme. My surprise and terror were equally great; I could say
nothing: I heard her with a silence which I had not the power to break.
She then expatiated very warmly upon the advantages I should reap from her
plan; talked in a high style of my future grandeur; assured me how heartily I
should despise almost every body and every thing I had hitherto seen; predicted
my marrying into some family of the first rank in the kingdom; and, finally, said I
should spend a few months in Paris, where my education and manners might
receive their last polish.
She enlarged also upon the delight she should have, in common with myself,
from mortifying the pride of certain people, and showing them that she was not to
be slighted with impunity.
In the midst of this discourse, I was relieved by a summons to tea. Madame
Duval was in great spirits; but my emotion was too painful for concealment, and
every body enquired into the cause. I would fain have waived the subject, but
Madame Duval was determined to make it public. She told tham that she had it in
her head to make something of me, and that they should soon call me by another
name than that of Anville; and yet that she was not going to have the child
married neither.
I could not endure to hear her proceed, and was going to leave the room; which,
when Lady Howard perceived, she begged Madame Duval would defer her
intelligence to some other opportunity; but she was so eager to communicate her
scheme, that she could bear no delay; and therefore they suffered me to go

An hour after dinner you are giving your one-year-old a bath. You notice a red and white, raised welt on her tummy. You find more on her legs. Fifteen minutes later she is practically covered in welts. What could this be? Should you rush her to the ER? Should you page your doctor?Relax and don't worry. This is probably hives.
Hives are caused by an allergic reaction within the body. Histamine is released under the skin and causes areas of swelling.
They appear as red or white, raised welts on the skin. They can appear suddenly out of nowhere, and can spread rapidly. They are most common on the chest, tummy, and back, but can also be on the extremities, and rarely on the face. A very distinct characteristic of hives is that each welt will often come and go over a period of 10 to 15 minutes or as long as a few hours. You will see some welts on the tummy, and then look again an hour later and find them gone, only to see new ones on the back. The welts can be small or very large, round or irregularly shaped, single or clustered together and over-lapping. They usually itch, but not always.
There are many possible causes of hives:
- Illness – illnesses are the most common cause of hives in children. The body can have an allergic reaction to the illness. These illnesses are usually viruses, but can be any cause. So, if your child is sick, and breaks out in hives, it is probably due to the illness. A note – don't worry about what illness might be causing the hives. If there is no fever or symptoms of any illness, then the hives probably are not due to illness. If there is a fever, but no other symptoms, then it is probably a harmless virus. Click on Fever for help on what to do.
- Foods – foods that most commonly cause hives include shellfish, nuts, berries, and fish. Think about any new foods your child might have eaten in the past 24 hours.
- Medications – any medicine can potentially cause hives. Think back through the past 24 hours. Have you given your child any medication (it doesn't have to be a new medicine)? If your child is sick, have you been using any cold medicine or new kind of pain or fever medication? If so, it may be hard to tell if the hives are from the illness or the medicine.
- External irritant – there are a variety of substances that children come into contact with each day that they can be allergic too. The list includes new soap or shampoo, new laundry detergent or fabric softener, new suntan or other lotion, new clothes, blankets, or bed sheets, and playing outside among grass and bushes. Try to think of anything new that could have come into contact with your child's skin.
- Despite all these possible causes, most of the time a parent or doctor is unable to pinpoint the definite cause of the hives. It is not necessary to determine the cause of the hives unless your child continues to have a problem with recurrent hives.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine, available over-the- counter, and is the standard treatment for hives. At the first sign of hives, give your child a dose. It is best not to wait to give Benadryl to see if the hives go away on their own because some allergic reactions can proceed rapidly. The sooner the Benadryl is given, the less severe the reaction will be. You can continue giving Benadryl every 6 hours as needed. See packaging for dosing guidelines. For infants and toddlers, the proper dose is 1 mg for every 3 pounds. For example, an 18 pound infant would get about 6 mg.
Hives usually only last for 1 or 2 days. However, they can come and go for several weeks, even though your child is no longer exposed to the original cause.
No. Benadryl is important for the first dose. You should continue it every 6 hours for the first day or two only if the hives flare up dramatically, for example, if you see more than 5 or 10 spots. If there are only a few spots, and do not seem to bother your child, then you don't need to give Benadryl. You can use Benadryl safely on and off for several weeks if needed.
No. Hives are not serious. Most cases do not need to be evaluated by a doctor. The typical parent comment is, "his rash looks terrible but he seems fine. "If, however, your child is having trouble breathing or acting progressively sicker, seek medical attention.
No. Hives on the skin have no relation to how severe or mild the reaction might be internally. The vast majority of cases of hives have no serious internal allergic reaction.
When to go to the ER: Because this is an allergic reaction, you need to observe your child for other signs of a severe allergic reaction such as throat tightness, wheezing, breathing difficulty, extreme weakness or lightheadedness, significantly pale, or persistent vomiting. Go to the ER if these happen. When to call your doctor's office for an immediate appointment: If none of the above signs of a severe allergic reaction occur, but your child has swelling of the hands, feet, or face, or the hives are all over the body, and they don't improve within 2 hours after Benadryl, see your doctor right away. If it's the weekend or after hours, go to the ER.
The vast majority of cases of hives are not serious, and go away with little or no treatment. THERE IS NO NEED TO PAGE YOUR DOCTOR AFTER HOURS, unless you need help deciding whether or not you should go to the ER.

The capital of Texas is one of the nation's great cities, well known as a center of music and culture. Austin has grown dramatically over the last couple of decades, ranking as the third-fastest-growing large city from 2000 to 2006, before assuming its current position as the nation's 11th largest city.
That kind of rapid expansion leads to growing pains.
"We were undertaking a lot of large projects without any real training or standard procedures," says Project Manager David Smythe-Macaulay. "Given the extremely complicated procurement procedures mandated by the state and city, it was all too easy to unwittingly fall afoul of the law. We wouldn't even know we'd done so until late in the process."
In the early 2000s, the public works department began aggressively pushing consistent standards across all city departments and creating a comprehensive procedures manual with standardized forms. Ultimately, responsibility for executing all projects worth more than $400,000 was consolidated into a single office with roughly 50 employees. The Project Management Division ensures standards, procedures, laws, and ordinances are consistently applied by conducting an academy for 19 sponsoring departments.
Given the detailed procedures manual, formal education, and how long public works has worked to streamline the function, Austin has one of most advanced project management offices (PMO) nationwide.
Smythe-Macaulay, a Project Management Institute-certified Project Management Professional (PMP), will be the first to say that not everyone is happy with the division's rigorous approach. But real gains have been made. Austin's experience is useful for any agency feeling overwhelmed by the complex legal and procedural complexities that are a reality of building public facilities.
The problem: accountability without authority
Public works centralized project management in 2003 to meet the following goals:
- establish consistent procedures;
- compensate staff fairly;
- reduce change orders;
- increase accountability.
A new division of about 50 employees drawn from various departments, including water utility, watershed, street and drainage, was formed. They may have held the title of engineer or architect in their previous department, but all functioned as project managers and all had developed their own methods for getting large projects built. Now they all held the title of "project manager" and were being asked to apply a uniform set of procedures to all projects regardless of departmental sponsor.
The reorganization was not an immediate success.
Smythe-Macaulay and Assistant Director for Engineering and Capital Project Delivery Keri Burchard-Juarez, P.E., PMP, discussed the sources of dissatisfaction in a 2010 American Public Works Association presentation:
- Redundancy. Project leaders in sponsoring departments felt there was substantial overlap between their roles and those of the new project managers, creating resentment and raising concerns about extra costs.
- Confusion. With some sponsor departments remaining highly involved in managing projects, the role of the new project managers differed depending on the project and the sponsor.
- Inconsistency. A procedures manual written in 1996 was out of date and no real training was being done. Consequently, the new project managers had no incentive to change methods that had been working for them.
Project management had been centralized, but the new division's authority and accountability were relatively vague and weak. Sponsoring departments still had a great deal of influence over procurement and contract administration, and the city's top executives weren't fully committed to the new entity. As a result, the new project managers felt that they'd been given accountability without authority. The lack of formal training and consistent, well-documented procedures was also a serious problem.
To get the initiative back on track, a Project Management Task Force led by the city manager's office was created that included top managers from the city's water and drainage utilities as well as public works. The presence of high-level executives gave the task force much-needed credibility and the ability to implement necessary changes.
The task force began by clearly defining the roles of the project manager, the sponsoring department, and design consultants; and by firmly establishing the project manager's authority. This immediately improved the day-to-day effectiveness of the new project managers, and largely eliminated the perceptions of redundancy and waste that had plagued the division.
The task force then implemented longer-term strategies intended to raise quality of service. There was a renewed focus on written procedures in the form of a manual; formal training in procedures began at this time. "One boundary that was clearly set was that the manual maintained by public works would apply across the board," says Contract Development Analyst Margot Massey.
A system of ongoing focus groups, drawn from various stakeholders, was initiated. Consultant contracts were reviewed and revised to bring them in line with the division's new approach. The division also began conducting annual customer service surveys to get additional feedback.
The task force's intervention was successful. Project management has been successfully centralized in a single department, and the role of project managers is clearly defined. Procedures are applied consistently; and communication between project managers, sponsors, and consultants is clearly defined. Perhaps most importantly, Austin's top executives clearly support the new division.

Mangawhai will trial an "on demand" bus service over the Christmas holiday period.
The Kaipara District Council and the Northland Regional Council have teamed up with the Mangawhai Business Development Association to fund it.
The initiative was seen as a solution to the seasonal congestion and parking problems on Wintle St as the carpark at Mangawhai Heads filled up.
The district council will contribute its share out of its roading budget. Each organisation will contribute a one-third share of the $10,000 needed to enable Leabourn Passenger Services to run the service from December 26 to about January 12, next year.
The service will operate from the Mangawhai Domain, where people will be able to park their cars, to the Mangawhai Heads Surf Club and return.
Proposed one-way fares are: adults $2, children (5-14) $1, and children under 5 free.

It's been clear for some time that the government is on a hiding to nothing with its education targets, but maybe today's media treatment of the GCSE and A-level tables should finally have convinced ministers.
Jim Knight, the schools minister, was all set to crow about the fact that schools in England had hit the government's target for GCSEs a year early. More than 60% of 15-year-olds had gained five or more "good" GCSEs (A* to C grades) last summer - the target for 2008/09.
Was this mentioned? Not a bit of it. Press and broadcasters focused instead on Gordon Brown's new target - for every school to get at least 30% of pupils to the threshold of five A* to C grades by 2012.
Following some ingenious Tory spin, both the Telegraph and the Times said that half a million pupils were attending "failing" schools.
In vain, Knight pointed out that in the latest GCSE exams 150 more schools had met the prime minister's new target which in any case has been set for 2012. But I bet that come 2012 even if the target is duly met, nobody will pay the least attention.
More serious than ministerial embarrassment is the question of what the focus on league tables is doing to education in England. (Scotland and Wales don't have them in the same way.)
Headteachers complained again today that targets are distorting the curriculum - steering pupils away from languages, for instance.
While England's fall in international comparisons over the past 10 years prompts Peter Mortimore, former director of London University's Institute of Education to worry that rising scores in Sats and GCSEs are masking real damage to children's education. Have teachers been conditioned into "teaching to our tests" rather than promoting pupils' broader knowledge and skills?

During our stay in Phnom Penh we meet Mr Darun, a long time friend of Saoyuth's father. He offered to take us to the Ratanakiri province (North East part of Cambodia) for a couple of days to spend some time together and also see the place where he and Saoyuth's father met a long time ago. Saoyuth's mum has never been to this part of the country so it's a great opportunity also for her to explore.
Beside following the pair of them and learn about their past, we had also the chance to see teak, rubber trees and cashew plantations, sample some fruits we had never heard of, meet Mr Darun's family, sample local food and finally swim in a beautiful lake contained in a former volcano crater.

Who in their right mind voted for the Sonata over the Volt?
"The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion" -- John Lawton
So, do you vote for marketplace significance even if the car making those strides is sub par in some respects....or the far the engineering marvel that is more about marketing than the market itself? Things aren't always as clear cut as they may seem on the surface.
goodness me....the Sonota is such an average car. Car of the year needs to be something that changes the game for its respective year.
Plus its not like sonata is 'north american'
IDK, the Hyundai Sonata makes a strong case (though I voted for the Volt).
The Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are not for everyone, the Nissan Leaf has serious range limitations while the Volt is up there in price. I can get a CTS for the price of a Volt.
The Hyundai Sonata mixes fuel economy that is unmatched with power, the base model gets 35MPG on the highway which is better then any other mid sized sedans on the market. Now everyone is playing catch up to the Hyundai Sonata and its combo of 200BHP and 35MPG (everyone else is making around 170BHP).
Then they upped the ante with a turbo model, the Turbo Hyundai gets 22/33 while the V-6 Toyota gets 20/29 and the V-6 Accord gets 20/30. On top of the fuel economy bonus you get with the Hyundai you also get 274BHP and 269ft-lbs of torque. Not only will it pass its V-6 rivals on the road but it will also pass the gas station up as well.
In other words while the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are land mark vehicles for those who will buy it. The Hyundai Sonata is a land mark vehicle for a much bigger crowd of people, I guess its a matter of the Volt being green and more high tech but the Sonata being more mainstream.
I'm in! Vote two times by using Firefox and then IE.

As you rightly assumed, deadlines and contracts got the better of me in recent weeks. My next opportunity to make run at the release is the afternoon of October 6. If someone else wants to jump on it sooner, that is OK by me. Until I hear otherwise, I have pencilled in 10/6, 13:00 to do the 0.9 RC release. - Mark

"Hobbit" actor McKellen has prostate cancer
LONDON (Reuters) - "The Hobbit" actor Ian McKellen said in an interview published on Tuesday that he had had prostate cancer for the last six or seven years, but added that the disease was not life-threatening.
McKellen, 73, played Gandalf in the hit "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, and reprises the role in three prequels based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit".
The first of those, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", recently had its world premiere in New Zealand, where it was shot under the directorship of Peter Jackson.
"I've had prostate cancer for six or seven years," McKellen told the Daily Mirror tabloid. "When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate it's no big deal."
His representatives in London were not immediately available to comment on the interview.
"Many, many men die from it but it's one of the cancers that is totally treatable," added McKellen, one of Britain's most respected actors who is also well known in Hollywood for appearances in the X-Men franchise.
"I am examined regularly and it's just contained, it's not spreading. I've not had any treatment."
He admitted he feared the worst when he heard he had the disease.
"You do gulp when you hear the news. It's like when you go for an HIV test, you go 'arghhh is this the end of the road?' Continued...

Sooners, Trojans must defend pass
Scouts Inc. identifies the top contenders for the national title and breaks down each team's biggest weakness.
Originally Published: October 15, 2004By Todd McShay | Scouts, Inc.
Teams that can build an identity, overcome injuries and find a winning formula for success right about now are the ones with the strongest chances to play for the BCS title.
In 1997, it was around this time that quarterback Brian Griese emerged as Michigan's offensive leader. The same was true for Tennessee, with quarterback Tee Martin, in 1998. It was also about this time last year that LSU's secondary rounded into shape, allowing coach Nick Saban to play the aggressive blitz-heavy scheme he always envisioned for his team.
The weekly grind can also expose blemishes. In 2002, Georgia's lack of consistency in the passing game, along with its inability to stay healthy, led to the Bulldogs' only loss of the season to Florida.

New Cary SLP-05 tube preamp - Picture
Posted by AbeCollins on March 23, 2006 at 14:55:17:
Picked up my Cary SLP-05 preamp today. Driving the NuForce Ref 9s, the setup sounds wonderful. It adds a bit of midrange body to the NuForce while retaining the big dynamics and bass impact that I like.

"Lord, I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof, but say only the word and my soul shall be healed"
Catholics are putting limits on God. The Lord is able to heal body too. Speaking just the word soul, puts limits as to what we believe is possible for God. If Jesus is the Eucharist, why put limits?

The scan on Rupeni Caucaunibuca's knee was encouraging. The size of his waistline isn't.
But despite the former Blues and Fiji international carrying an impressive 119kg, Northland have signed him for this year's ITM Cup.
Just what exactly they have bought is hard to tell. In 2003 and 2004, Rupeni was the best wing in the world. He was probably more than that. In those two years he played in New Zealand he did enough to be considered one of the greatest wings to ever play the game.
His speed testing records still haven't been beaten at the Blues. In fact, no one in New Zealand has even come close. Joe Rokocoko, rightly dubbed the 'Rocket Man', was a cart-horse by comparison.
Rupeni left seriously good test operators such as Joe Roff, Chris Latham and Clyde Rathbone looking almost laughably bad at various times. In the 2003 Super 12 semifinal, he scooped the ball from the sodden turf with one hand, refusing to break stride before meandering his way past five defenders for the defining try of the campaign.
He went to the Rugby World Cup with Fiji later that year and carved up France and Scotland despite being a good 10kg overweight following an extended injury break.
Sadly, Rupeni being drastically overweight became the norm. His life off the field has been impossibly difficult to fathom. It has often taken the path of a bad soap opera. He's gone missing at various stages; his passport has gone missing at others; there has been a drug ban, multiple fall-outs with his former club Agen and perhaps not surprisingly, he's reached this stage of his career on the verge of financial ruin.
"It's fair to say he doesn't have much left," says Northland chief executive Jeremy Parkinson. "Pretty much everything has been squandered, so we haven't had to pay too much to get him. He is 119kg and has been playing at that weight for a while. But we think we can get him fitter and get his weight down. He'll be on a programme and we aren't putting any targets in place but we'd like to get him down to 110kg or maybe even 105kg."
It will be another month yet before Rupeni is able to begin playing for club side Awanui in the Far North. He is still recovering from knee surgery but the surgeon's report on Friday was encouraging, suggesting the joint is on the way to making a full recovery.
It may appear that the Taniwha have taken a major risk in Rupeni, but there are several factors that they believe have to be considered. Firstly, Rupeni sees Northland as his spiritual home. He was playing there in 2000 and 2001 when he was first 'discovered'. The lifestyle suits him and when he last played there, he was able to maintain his fitness.
Secondly, he accepts this is his last chance to salvage something financially. If he can impress with Northland, there's a chance he'll be picked up by a club with deeper pockets: Japan or Europe, or even a Super Rugby team - it won't matter. Rupeni is 32 and he wants one last contract so he can retire with some kind of financial security.
And, perhaps less comforting but valid all the same, is that in 2011 Rupeni was holding a starting place in the star-studded Toulouse side. He'd been drafted in as a medical joker and even at 120kg, was able to make an impact. He scored two tries in the semifinal of the Top 14 playoff and was outstanding in the final, which Toulouse won.
"If we can get him back to even 80 per cent of his ability we will have an outstanding player," says Parkinson. "But it's up to Rupeni. He needs to get fit and stay fit and then play at the level he knows he can."

Does your business have a bad reputation?

If it sounds too good to be true it is. I stayed there with my fiance and son in like 2012. We went through similar situation but we got a fully furnished place from them on Euclid and East Michigan Street. Upon moving in we immediately started waking up with huge itchy red bumps, my son and I at first and mine's seem to be worst huge and drainage. We complained the next day we received notice about bedbug complaints, that they would be applying treatment for it and inspection. We now knew what it was an infestation of bedbugs.
They came and sprayed the units the following morning early banging on the doors very loudly, at this time I met my neighbors which I happened to grown-up with one of them. We were talking I was telling them I moved in to the unit upstairs they both were shocked that I lived in the unit. They explained how the previous tenants were living in the home just two days prior to me moving in . [continued below]....
They also stated that they also told me they were always constantly scratching and getting bites up in the same unit . One neighbor had given me a huge bottle of bedbug spray that he had on his bedside and told me he had them when he moved in. I complained to the office, they said they would come look at it and change my furniture out but was very rude and nasty about it and didn't want to remove it. They arrived days later with a new bed and couch they left everything else there from chairs to dressers etc. Upon entering they asked us where the bedbugs came from and stated that it was never a problem before as if we brought them I responded that my neighbors seem to think differently and show him the treatment I was given and told him about the letter I received from them about bedbugs.
He attempted to act like he knew nothing about it or the bugs and saying that we spray for bugs once a month and the letter was just a precaution. Liar is what I thought to my self. We constantly afterwards were bitten they just sprayed every time we called no professional just JL Hair Realty Family members at the door Cheap as they can be. After about a week at that location the female tenant that wasn't out there when I met my other neighbors was moving out it was about 5:00 p.m. when she started loading her car out of nowhere.
I said hello as I was smoking by my car as she replied she started to vent and told me that JL Hair cam and sprayed for bedbugs and left her a notice that they were in here unit, she came home and went to change and bedbugs were all in her closet, behind her bed just about everywhere she looked and she was moving due to the fact she has been there for about three weeks and her and her children were getting bites every since but didn't know why and she didn't see a bug til that day. She was forced out with only a few items a couple pairs of clothes that they were headed to wash and try to heat treat with the dryer.
She told me when she moved into the unit she had them remove all there furnished items, she brought her own couch, bed, tv etc. Now she can't take it with her she was crying and went about her way. But that was just the start. Less than 48 hrs. Later they had another women and children in the unit. I was bathing one day and notice the water didn't go down like should so I got out my fiance who just finished the dishes let out the water and it all backed up into the the shower with a raw sewage smell and look. I was fed up with the unit.I inspected the rest of the place so I could give JL Hair to fix. It was everything every drain backed up I noticed you didn't need a key to enter the apartment just a few wiggles and it unlocked itself.
Behind every curtain the blinds were broke, floors all cracked up old behind there furniture it was holes and it had previously been set up with bug traps. Anything you could think of was bad. After I complained about it all it was just noticed I was forced to contact the board of health Health and Hospital. The State officia over the 46201 areal got mad and told me we should've known about places like that and he said he would call JL Hair about five minutes after a truck came to a screeching halt outside, it was Jeff who is the son of the women who is a Hair who took over for Hair Himself Because he was on his death bed at the time. He was furious that we called the board of health on them then tried to plead with contacting them first I replied I did several times but nothing done.
He tried to blame Pam who works at the office, he fixed ny wall socket and left said he needed parts and would returned, never did. Nights later the fire department pulled up to our building said the new neighbor went to hospital something about carbon monoxide poisoning and checked for carbon in the air they broke in her apartment to check then called gas company to come out he pulled instalation out the side of the building because he couldn't get in the basement to check for gas leak didn't find. To make a long story short we ended up having to leave thr property they filed an eviction notice showed up to court blamed us for the holes the blinds the floor and what the gas man did to installation and it came up to 1500 dollars and the won because I was late by five

A Call to Prayer - India
India is the worlds second most populous
country, with 1.2 billion people. It prides itself to be one of the oldest
civilizations with the worlds oldest religion Hinduism. Ever since Great Britain
colonized that part of the world in the nineteenth century, the Christian world
has been sending missionaries to India. After two hundred years of mission
efforts, only two percent of India is Christian really Catholic.
Protestantism is nearly nonexistent. We have to admit that the efforts to
evangelize India have been unsuccessful.
What is the cause? What do we know about the
Indian culture and religion? After all, other Asian countries have been
successfully made Christian. Hinduism, deeply intertwined with the Indian
culture and traditions, is a way of life that believes in nonviolence and
sanctity of life. This reaches to the
extent of not killing animals. Therefore, the majority of the Indian population
is vegetarian. This has been the Indian way of life for centuries.
How do we appear to them? As
blood thirsty and cruel Westerners. We dont even have to mention the
violent history of Christianity. Our meat-eating culture is outright disgusting
to any Hindu. For centuries, there has been nothing that our Western culture
could offer to Hindu India, nothing that would be appealing to the Indian eyes.
Today, we live in a global world and India
cant escape it. Under the weight of globalization, Hinduism suffers serious
wounds, and there is nothing to replace it. Retail outlets such as McDonalds
and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) are mushrooming in large Indian cities. These
establishments serve mostly a vegetarian cuisine, but chicken products are also
offered. Only very few Western fast food chains, at selected locations
frequented by tourists, dare to sell beef burgers. This is still a taboo in the
Indian society that believes in the sanctity of the cow. Children from
well-to-do families are discovering these Western fast food outlets and beg
their parents to buy them a treat. By the time they are in high school, they go
there alone and taste chicken for the first time in their lives. When mom asks at home, What did you have for lunch today?
teenagers reply, Oh, I ate at the school cafeteria (always vegetarian).
The reality is that the student stopped by McDonalds for chicken nuggets. This
is such a taboo in the Indian society that young people would not dare to tell
the truth at home. They could be literally disowned by their families.
There has been a significant Indian
immigration to the United States in the past 20 years. These new immigrants are
young, educated, and successful. Mingling with them, you find out that some of
them eat meat. When questioned about it, they answer: Yes, I started eating
meat when I came to the United States because the vegetarian options were so
limited. I could never tell my parents; they would be devastated and could
disown me. Meat eating, even in todays Indian society, is a taboo that a Westerner
cannot imagine.
Indias young people are discovering other
lures of the Western world as well, and are starting to question their Hindu
traditions. What missionaries could not achieve in centuries, globalization has
achieved in one single generation. As a result, Indias young and educated
population in large metro areas is no longer traditionally Hindu, at least not
to the same extent as their parents. Young people hold so many secrets from
their parents that Western teenagers pale in comparison. Indian young people do
have deep, culturally ingrained respect for their parents, which causes their
parents to be even more in the dark, simply because their children would not
tell them about any of their new Western vices. The worst and
most offensive vice of all? Meat consumption.
All this has been happening because young
people in India want to be like Westerners. They admire fast food outlets on
television, and now in their own backyards. They want to watch the same movies,
live the Western way of life. Once they are college age, they question
everything else, including their Indian values and religion. When I talk to
Indias young and educated, they want to know why America has been such a
successful country, especially when America is such a young country. I explain
to them that America has been founded on the principles of Christian
Protestantism. They are curious and want to know more. Many of their parents
have never even spoken to a Westerner. Yet, these Indian young people in the
United States are the brains of todays American software companies. These
young people are open minded and hungry to learn. Most of them dont know much
about Christianity, but they want to learn, they want to know. This is in sharp
contrast to their parents who shun everything Western. Because we live in a
global world, the young people in India are not any different from their Indian
peers in the United States. They also travel, are globally minded and want to
know who Christians are. Moreover, they want to be like them.
What do we do about it? It is now or never
that we have the chance to explain the gospel to them. Such opportunities
happen only once in centuries, and the Christian world has the chance of a
lifetime. As other Asian countries became Christian, such as South Korea, for
example, the result was a sharp increase in development, because people adopted
Protestant work ethics. As Christian values will be adopted by the Indian young
generation, India will flourish as well. But someone has to tell them about the
gospel, about Protestantism, about Adventism. The vineyard is ripe, but the
workers so few. Make it a matter of your prayer; the time to reach India is
As Adventist Christians, we have an extra
bonus up our sleevethe health message. Imagine, for someone from the
vegetarian society of India, what version of Christianity can possibly be more
appealing than Adventism with its health message? This health message can bring
down walls even with the older conservative generation, as the worst thing
about Christians is that they eat meat. Becoming a Christian equals becoming a
carnivore in the Indian eyes. And that puts up a big wall. The Seventh-day
Adventists have more respect for the Indian diet than any other Christian
religion. Every Hindu will shake our hand with no fear. The time to bring our
message, including the health message, to India is now. Are we up to the task?
We all have special burdens on our hearts, most of which
are common to many people. Let us share one anothers burdens and pray together
for those things that are applicable to a whole group of people.
Please contact us
with your requests by writing or emailing to: email@example.com, so we can
pray together to hasten the coming of Jesus and help others to be ready for
that day.

John Key is in Vanuatu for the 41st Pacific Islands Forum, where he will announce development initiatives in the Pacific. The Herald's Derek Cheng reports from Port Vila.
A regional processing centre in the Pacific for asylum seekers would not be in New Zealand or be propped up with New Zealand funds, Prime Minister John Key said today.
Prime Minister John Key is expecting to have a discussion today with Australian Stephen Smith, where the subject of a regional processing centre will be raised.
The subject has been a main issue on the election campaign trail in Australia, and Mr Key said he was prepared to have discussions on the matter.
But in reality, Australia is in a caretaker mode at the moment, and they're not in a position to commit to anything really. So it will be very much a hypothetical discussion ...high level but not terribly detailed."
He said last night at the leaders' dinner, Nauru President Marcus Steven had told him of Nauru's interest in re-establishing a resettlement camp in Nauru.
"He made it quite clear that refugees had been treated well there, and in fact that the camp had been run by the UNHCR. He was at pains to point out that it was run by the UN.
"We certainly know we're not interested in hosting it in New Zealand, we're not interested in increasing the number of refugees we take under the UNHCR programme, and I don't think we'd be terribly interested in incurring any great costs in a regional processing centre.
"We are agnostic about where a regional processing centre could be established, in the event one was established.
"What it would potentially involve would be if New Zealand would be prepared to take people from the centre, providing they met with New Zealand's guidelines and criteria for refugees."
Mr Key said from the last night's dinner, the general feeling was that forum leaders would not lift the suspension of Fiji from the forum.
"The leaders, from everything I've seen so far, seem very united in their view that Fiji would remain excluded from the forum until we see demonstrated evidence of a pathway to democracy."
