HEARING ADVISORY: Chairman Camp Announces Hearing on President Obama's Trade Policy Agenda with U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) today announced that the Committee on Ways and Means will hold a hearing on President Obama's trade policy agenda with U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman. The hearing will take place on Thursday, April 3, 2014, in 1100 Longworth House Office Building, beginning at 9:30 A.M.
In view of the limited time available to hear the witness, oral testimony at this hearing will be from the invited witness only. However, any individual or organization not scheduled for an oral appearance may submit a written statement for consideration by the Committee and for inclusion in the printed record of the hearing.
International trade is essential to advancing U.S. economic growth and job creation. While the United States is the largest economy and trading nation in the world, 95 percent of the world's consumers are abroad. Accordingly, the future success of American workers, businesses, farmers, and ranchers is integrally tied with continuing America's strong commitment to finding new markets, expanding existing ones, and effectively dealing with market access barriers for U.S. goods, services, and investment. To further the trade agenda and to set forth procedures to enhance Congressional authorities in shaping and implementing trade agreements, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp and Senate Finance Committee leaders introduced in January the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act of 2014 (H.R. 3830). This bipartisan, bicameral legislation establishes new and updated Congressional trade negotiating objectives that direct the Administration, significantly enhance requirements for consultation and information-sharing with Congress before, during, and after trade negotiations, and provide rules for Congressional consideration of trade agreements and their implementing bills, ultimately ensuring that Congress has the final say in approving any trade agreement. The legislation preserves the constitutional role and fulfills the legislative responsibility of Congress with respect to trade agreements. At the same time, the process ensures certain and expeditious action on the results of the negotiations and on the implementing bill, without amendment.
In addition to TPA, this hearing will provide an opportunity to explore with Ambassador Froman how the President's trade agenda will create new and expanded opportunities for U.S. companies, workers, farmers, and ranchers, and how TPA is crucial to this strategy. Those opportunities include ongoing negotiations such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), and the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) negotiations, as well as post-Doha negotiations at the World Trade Organization, such as expansion of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) and a WTO agreement on environmental goods. In addition, the hearing will examine important enforcement priorities, including trade-restrictive practices and non-tariff barriers from major emerging economies that prevent U.S. companies from competing on a level playing field, as well as various bilateral and multilateral trade issues and concerns. Finally, Ambassador Froman's testimony will provide an opportunity to discuss Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) negotiations with China, India, and others, as well as new BIT and investment policy opportunities; discussions in other bilateral and multilateral forums; and the trade and investment relationship with new and emerging trading partners.
In announcing this hearing, Chairman Camp said, "Seeking new markets for U.S. goods, services, and investment, while ensuring enforcement of our existing agreements is key to driving strong economic growth and job creation here in the United States. U.S. trade policy is at a crossroads. We have the opportunity to complete new trade agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership, negotiations with the European Union, as well as the Trade in Services Agreement negotiations and other important trade initiatives. However, trade promotion authority is essential to concluding all of these efforts, and our bipartisan, bicameral bill empowers Congress and provides important direction from Congress to get these agreements done right. I call on the President to actively engage to secure broad bipartisan support for this bill. We must also continue to develop new trade and investment opportunities and enforce our trading rights with important trading partners, including China, India, and Latin America. I look forward to hearing Ambassador Froman lay out the Administration's plan to advance U.S. economic opportunities around the world."
The hearing will provide an opportunity to explore with Ambassador Froman current and future trade issues such as: (1) passing the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act of 2014; (2) seeking to conclude a successful Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement this year; (3) negotiating with the European Union for a comprehensive and ambitious Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership; (4) negotiating a Trade in Services Agreement that increases access for all sectors of our economy; (5) improving our important trade relationship with major emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil, and addressing their trade barriers; (6) ensuring appropriate trade enforcement efforts; (7) advancing WTO negotiations, including "post-Doha" issues such as Information Technology Agreement expansion and an agreement for trade in environmental goods; (8) negotiating Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) with China, India, and others, and exploring new BITs and investment opportunities; (9) establishing long-term, closer ties with important trading partners; and (10) renewing the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences and other trade preference programs.

CBSE results: Govt schools outshine private schools
Government schools in Delhi registered a pass percentage of 87.70 percent this year against last year's 87.53 per cent.
New Delhi: Central government schools like Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNV) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) in Delhi have fared better than private schools in this year's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 examination, an official statement said on Monday.
At 91.20 per cent and 95.53 per cent, the pass percentage of JNV and KVs respectively has been better than of the private schools, which have a pass percentage of 90 per cent, said the CBSE.
The pass percentage of both JNVs and KVs, however, dropped in the capital -- from 96.52 per cent in 2011 to 91.20 per cent this year for JNVs and 95.63 per cent last year to 95.53 this year for KVs.
According to the CBSE, "private unaided schools" are schools run by a society/trust constituted and registered under the provisions of central/state legislations. While KVs and JNVs are autonomous institutions which get funding from the central government, government schools are run by the state government.
The pass percentage of private schools in Delhi has increased from 89.71 per cent in 2011 to 90 percent this year.
Government schools in Delhi registered a pass percentage of 87.70 percent this year against last year's 87.53 per cent.
Nation-wide, the pass percentage of JNVs has gone down from 96.87 per cent in 2011 to 95.96 percent this year, while the KVs have registered 94.13 per cent, up from 2011's 93.42 per cent.

dehydrated 3 yr old
my 3 year old wont drink water! the closest i can get is capri suns roaring waters, what else can i give him to keep/rehydrate him thats as good as water?
If he's sick, Gatorade. If he's just not drinking enough, try mixing lemon juice with water. My 4 year old BIL won't drink water either but tolerates it better if I add lemon to it.
I agree, I did half water half juice until my son was 4. Straight juice would always upset his stomach.
Quoting TinkerBell2013:
The drs told me to take and add water to the juice if the child gets a diahrea from drinking it. It always helped with my boys. They cant drink juice without getting a diahrea.
I would try to get him to drink pedialyte. They will keep him from getting dehydrated.

Release Date: 10.12.2010 | Location: North Metro Atlanta | Organization: Mercer University
Hispanic Pastor, Advocate First Lecturer for Mercer's Center for Theology and Public Life
ATLANTA — The first speaker hosted by the new Mercer University Center for Theology and Public Life will focus on themes related to Hispanic Protestant Christianity and its public engagement in the United States. The Rev. Gabriel Salguero, noted author and thinker on these issues, will deliver several addresses in Atlanta and Macon, Oct. 11-12. The events are co-sponsored by the McAfee School of Theology and are free and open to the public.
An estimated 46 million Hispanics live in the United States, making them the second-largest ethnic group in the nation at 15 percent of the population. While hailing from the predominantly Roman Catholic nations of Latin America, recent estimates suggest as many as one-third of all Hispanics are Protestants, and the vast majority of those are considered evangelicals. Salguero is a leading thinker, organizer and activist within the progressive Hispanic evangelical community.
"Hispanics matter greatly to the future of the United States. This is true at every level: political, cultural, religious and economic, and the two major political parties are contesting for the Hispanic vote quite intensely," said Dr. David Gushee, director of the Center for Theology and Public Life. "Georgia has a considerable Hispanic population and considerable ferment over immigration policy. Northeast Atlanta, where Mercer's Atlanta campus is located, has a large Hispanic presence. This is the first time that Mercer University has hosted an event to discuss these important issues for Georgia and the nation, and it is most appropriate that Mercer would be the site for such important discussions."
Salguero is director of the Hispanic Leadership Program at Princeton Theological Seminary and he and his wife, Jeanette, are the senior pastors of the multicultural congregation The Lamb's Church in New York City. He has written extensively on immigration reform, public policy, ethics and race, and multicultural and indigenous leadership. Salguero also serves on the boards of the Latino Leadership Circle, Sojourners, the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good and Evangelicals for Social Action. Charisma Magazine named him one of the 20 voices of the new generation of Christians. He serves as a panelist for The Washington Post's OnFaith blog and was honored by El Diario/La Prensa with the "El Award" as one of the 25 most influential Latinos in New York.
On Oct. 11, he will speak twice on the Atlanta campus in Day Hall Auditorium. The first lecture at 2 p.m. is titled "Brown Rising: The Emergence of Latino Evangelicals" and will address the rise of Hispanics within the evangelical and Hispanic communities. The second lecture, at 3:30 p.m., is titled "Immigration and the Clash of Civilizations: A Latino Response to Huntington," and will focus on the contemporary political fight over the policies on illegal immigration. Salguero will also deliver his immigration lecture again that day at 8:30 p.m. on Mercer's Macon campus in the Presidents Dining Room in the University Center. On Oct. 12, Salguero will address the McAfee School of Theology's weekly chapel service at 10:45 a.m. on the topic, "Global Church: Spirituality and Power," in Day Hall Auditorium.
"The Center for Theology and Public Life exists to foster theologically informed discussion about issues of great significance arising in American public life," Dr. Gushee said. "These lectures are the inaugural events for the Center and we believe that they will help to establish the Center, and Mercer, as host of nationally significant conversations on issues that are crucial to the future of our country."

michelleoc--good job on this heart quilt; like the ric-rack...that makes it fun.
cpmaple--nice to see this BOTM finished. It looks good. I started but didn't like some of the blocks so ended up changing to a different pattern for some of the blocks....mine is still a UFO and not very high on the list right now.
I am so loving these finishes ladies. That heart quilt is so adorable. I would hang that on my anyday of the week. That blue string quilt is so fabulous. Oh my Oh My Oh My.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
I have to get the binding on them, but quilted up two of my own yesterday. Goofed on the customer quilt so have to rip some, buggers, so put on a couple of mine just for some mindless work. Felt so good to just let loose and meander for a change. Will post photos hopefully this week if I get my binding done.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Wow beautiful work! I love all the great finishes! Here is my March finish. It is a strip club quilt I started last year . . . . it measures 74 X 82.
Oh, that's beautiful!!!! Sing the song & ring the bells!!!

In March 2000, MedBytes featured a list of six useful Internet sites about bioterrorism. It accompanied a Texas Medicine cover article on the topic, which was part of TMA's efforts to inform Texas physicians on what then appeared to be an esoteric topic. The events of Sept. 11, 2001, obviously changed that perspective. The threat of an anthrax or smallpox epidemic propagated from a commandeered crop duster, for example, is now all too real and scary. This issue of MedBytes offers some links to additional resources that can help physicians prepare for, recognize, and treat such an attack.
Texas Department of State Health ServicesStart with the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) Bioterrorism Information Section at www.dshs.state.tx.us/preparedness/bt_pros.shtm. It includes useful tools for the clinician, such as fact sheets on diseases from alphavirus to tularemia, disease-specific infection-control procedures, and contact numbers for state and local health officials. (Report any suspected outbreaks or unusual expressions of illness to [800] 705-8868.) A different section of the TDSHS Web site, at www.dshs.state.tx.us/preparedness/bt_pros.shtm, includes instructions on collecting, handling, and submitting diagnostic specimens.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Included in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Emergency Preparedness & Response site at www.bt.cdc.gov is the agency's April 2000 "Strategic Plan for Preparedness and Response" for biological and chemical weapon attacks. It also offers a model emergency response communications plan as well as extensive information on biological and chemical agents, planning and training issues, and laboratory safety guidelines.
World Health Organization The World Health Organization has updated its 30-year-old technical guide, "Health Aspects of Biological and Chemical Weapons." It answers frequently asked questions on the topic and provides information on its Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network at www.who.int/csr/delibepidemics/biochem1stenglish/en/index.html. The 179-page technical guide, which covers medical, legal, and public health readiness aspects of biological and chemical weapons, is actually still a working draft. The final version of the guide is due out in December 2001.
BioPort Corporation The Internet communication efforts at BioPort Corporation (www.bioport.com) still appear aimed at countering negative press the country's sole manufacturer of anthrax vaccine received from vaccination of troops. At press time, there was no mention of the Pentagon report that vaccine stockpiles were dangerously low for military purposes and nonexistent for civilian populations.
General Accounting Office Although the first shipments from the U.S. National Pharmaceutical Stockpile were sent to New York City the day after the terrorist attack, the General Accounting Office report at www.gao.gov/new.items/d01323.pdf outlines the government's shortcomings in maintaining the "federal medical stockpiles that can be used to treat civilian and military victims in the event of a chemical or biological terrorist attack."

Great, then blame our government as a whole. This partisan stuff is out of control. Thanks Obama... that makes no sense.
Hahaahha so FEMA was Bush's fault in Katrina and this dip shite gets a pass for FEAM and Sandy from you sweet deal!
Hahaahha so FEMA was Bush's fault in Katrina and this dip shite gets a pass for FEAM and Sandy from you sweet deal!
That moron will defend Obama's involvement in the "war on terror"
Sheep will be sheep.
I'm not defending anything. I just find it absolutely historical that you guys point the finger at Obama for this.. You guys have such blinders on because you're so entrenched into your political party.
Please tell me why you feel the CinC needs a pass on everything, people on here shite on Bush for years over FEMA and Katrina, you may have been one of them. Along comes Obama and all of these agencies are independent from any impact or direction from the Cinc, what a cool job!
There are a few free thinkers out there..
While most of us can see both firmly involved, you make excuses for Obama. Typical.
Truth. But you aren't describing yourself.
Most of us don't have a party. We bashed bush left and right over his involvement in the "war on terror." More libertarian leaning than conservative here.
Jbird, if you want to blame Obama for at least 10 years of surveillance then by all means go for it dude.
I just don't think 90% of this board knows what it means to be a libertarian. Most of this board isn't libertarian and more hardcore Republican.
Listen Pal the point is Obama IS Bush they both suck balls, he is the President, he named the directors. They work directly for the President, they ALL do reviews of programs and policies when they come in with their staff. With the fact that Obama ran on how horrible Bush was and that things like the Patriot Act were rotten you would assume that as President he would end such programs. What did he do, well we still have everything in place including the Patriot Act. I guess some people are free from resopnsibility no matter what.

That's the one. Thanks DemonWrx
Oh, you don't need to wire it to a permanent ground...just disconnect it I think. Didnlt try it with the hill assist, but tested it out to disable the DRL
Hello everyone ... going to be my very first Subaru WRX ... VERY FIRST Manual transmission I was just wondering what it was going to feel like. How does it work? Do you have to have the Clutch pushed to the floor for it to engage? or does it just activate when ever you ease off the brake and start disengaging the clutch?

I love the hill assist. So far, it's been spot on with how I drive. Just let the clutch out normally and the brake comes off.
Pretty neat and saves me holding the ebrake on hill-starts.

Fallen star exits stage left
Page Tools
Steve Vizard's once-crowded portfolio of listed company directorships now sits empty, his resignation last Friday as chairman of technology services outfit Oakton ending a career on listed company boards of more than a decade.
His business interests reached the height of their complexity and breadth at the peak of the dot-com boom.
Not only was he a Telstra director from 1996, he boasted lucrative board seats on market debutants Oakton and Multiemedia.
He was also chairman of Granada Media Australia, and its production company Red Heart, following his 1998 sale of Artists Services to the British com-pany for an estimated $25 million.
But gradually Vizard started capitalising on his varied positions, attracting vocal criticism for selling big parcels of shares and options allocated by the companies that he served as a director.
In 2000 Vizard was riding high on his Artists Services deal, still a director of Telstra and spruiking the virtues of Red Heart, a joint Channel Seven-Granada venture.
But by 2001 things had changed. He had lost his Telstra board seat amid a wider corporate clean-out, and Red Heart folded after proving to be a disastrous investment for Granada.
The Multiemedia story was also starting to unravel as the era of dot-com supremacy thudded to a close.
Vizard, with a handful of other high-profile investors, including Eddie Maguire, sold Multiemedia a 23 per cent stake in their online sports company Sportsview, charging the fledgling company $1.2 million in cash and 3 million shares.
Vizard was later issued 4.5 million Multiemedia options to tempt him onto the company's board, but no sooner had he taken his seat than he had exercised and sold half his holding.
He paid 20 cents each to exercise them and sold them for between 66 and 80 cents, winning a tidy profit of about $1.2 million.
Vizard served on the Multiemedia board for just one year.
His association with Oakton proved more enduring and just as profitable. He spent five years at its helm before quitting last Friday, having gradually sold most of his shares in the company.

Install a Sticker of the Club.
This is my Corsar CD 1987 (Quantum)
Greetings from Mexico City.
Troubleshot it....finally figured out the ignition switch was causing all the problems. Then I smacked myself in the head for not recognizing it sooner. Swapped in a new one and problems solved.
Today my autotradgic started to slip in 1st and grumble in second, I'm stuffed. i'm leakin trans fluid. quoted transmission rebuild = 1,500 and if he finds that my final drive is out...well then its 27 hundo.
Oh, and I have only 76 thousand!!!! original miles. life is soo sad.
I put in a new thermostat and fan switch in the QSW and played around with it a bit more. I have her running OK now but she'll eventually need new brake lines bent in and she definitely needs an alignment and some strut mounts. I'll be taking her to work tomorrow for the first time ever. Fingers crossed!
Oh yeah, I also set the shifter alignment so that I have 1st and 2nd. The shop that screwed up the clutch job screwed that up too. If I hadn't had my shoulder surgery last year they would never have had the chance to touch it...
This is over two weeks,
Fabricated new trim, Replaced Emblem, Shoe polished bumpers, Copper plated wheel emblems.
crushed one today.
OK, so yesterday I replaced yet another hose on the Coupe (pump to hard cooling pipe) after it split and gave up the coolant all over the road. I thought I might have killed it as I did drive it a bit to get it home. I'm swapping the engine anyway, but after replacing the hose and doing an oil change with castrol syntec, it runs like a champ again....I cannot kill this engine!
I then tackled the running hot problem on the QSW and the fan was the culprit. Very strange as there is nothing outwardly wrong with the fan. I always see the bearings fail in these fans and they end up locking up. This one turns freely and makes no noise whatsoever, but 12V to it just sparks. No worries, finally found a use for a brand new German made fan I picked up a while back. Makes almost no noise when it's running. Nice. Now I'm waiting for her to cool down to do an oil change with Mobil 1. Might check if a different coolant temp sensor (the thermo time one) will help the cold start. She has a fresh tank of 93 in her now with a dollop of Lucas injector wonder oil.
Next on the list is the timing belt and water pump and probably the oil seals just in case. Then I need to get her new shoes...a set of RML 15" Snowflakes should be in order. They offered me a deal to throw them on the car for the shows.
i filled the gas tank
i broke the door handle,,my cars falling apart
I towed my new coupe back from Waterfest to Cape Cod. Much nicer than I expected. It's gonna be a nice one and it's gonna be for sale......
Last edited by JohnBarleyCorn; 07-19-2010 at 02:08 PM.
Checked out a QSW yesterday... It was running but needed all sorts of "this and that" repair. Broken door locks, broken a/c fan, leaky radiator and oil pan, holes in the floor, body damage galore... I could go on.
You guys got room for a token noob that's gonna ask all sortsa dumb questions? I have big aspirations for this car to be an off road beast but the mechanical skill set is definitely lacking.
Any words of wisdom are much welcome and appreciated
Bought an '87 QSW with 326k on it and then drove it 1200 miles across the Desert Southwest in 100 degree heat to get it home. No qualms whatsoever! Extremely pleased with my purchase! Yahoo!!!
Yup, I am the one who bought the OG ALLRD from Tilden... It's such an awesome car and I am proud to own it. He did a really good job keeping it running the way it should and giving it some extra character. Sorry about your get together... You guys are welcome to come hit some trails with me if you're ever in Colorado...
took second in a limbo contest behind a fox wagon. we were both around 45", the third place car was an airbagged mkiv at 47".
(yesterday) Pulled the headlight/turns/grill/trim out of the new Coupe and boxed them up for their trip to Germany with the other 2 sets and extra parts. Gotta find a set of later model lights to throw in there. Drove the other coupe to work today and gotta figure out the clutch issues with the QSW to make it a daily...hat damn shop really screwed it up.
Ive always wanted a Quantum wagon... soooo bad. it's definitely my next car.
there's my input on the Quantum forum, I know the Fox guys don't belong in here haha

U.N. authorizes African force to take on al Qaeda in Mali
By Louis Charbonneau
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 15-nation U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously authorized the deployment of an African-led military force to help defeat al Qaeda and other Islamist militants in northern Mali.
The French-drafted resolution also authorized the 27-nation European Union and other U.N. member states to help rebuild the Malian security forces, who are to be assisted by the international African force during an operation in northern Mali that is not expected to begin before September 2013.
The adoption of the resolution was the result of a compromise that ended weeks of disagreements between the United States and France over how best to tackle the problem of Mali, where al Qaeda-linked insurgents seized vast swathes of territory in March.
The resolution authorizes the deployment for an initial period of one year of an African-led intervention force, to be known as AFISMA, to take "all necessary measures, in compliance with applicable international humanitarian law and human rights law."
The phrase "all necessary measures" is diplomatic code for military force. AFISMA is expected to have up to 3,300 troops and will assist the rebuilt Malian security forces "in recovering the areas in the north of its territory under the control of terrorist, extremist and armed groups."
The French text leaves open the question of how the international force will be funded. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has recommended against straight U.N. funding for the operation, suggesting that it be financed through voluntary contributions.
The voluntary approach appeals to neither France nor the AU. The resolution calls on Ban to submit a report to the council on funding options. The Security Council does not have to accept Ban's recommendation, though envoys say it may be difficult for the French to sway the council to support direct U.N. funding.
U.N. officials say Ban dislikes the idea of the United Nations providing direct financial and logistical support for the initial operation to dislodge al Qaeda from northern Mali because it will be a messy fight, with a simple goal of killing as many militants as possible. Continued...

"A full-time lorry driver who falsely claimed disability benefits has been ordered to pay back more than £22,000 or face prison"Yorkshire Evening Post, 12 September
Reading the newspaper, you might imagine that disabled people are malingerers, cheats and fraudsters, out to get over-generous benefits that really they are not entitled to.
In fact, fraud is comparatively rare for disability benefits; it is much less common than the media suggest across all benefits but particularly low for disability benefits. Statistics published by the DWP [6] show that overpayments due to fraud accounted for no more than 1.1 per cent of all benefit spending in 2010 - 11. (The statisticians responsible for the report estimated that between 0.7 and 1.1 per cent of spending goes to fraud; their best estimate was 0.8 per cent.)
For disability benefits, the figures are even lower: fraud accounted for a smaller proportion of spending on Disability Living Allowance and Incapacity Benefit than Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, Carer's Allowance or Council Tax Benefit. Fraud accounted for just 0.5 per cent of DLA spending and 0.3 per cent of IB spending.
All fraud is wrong and any amount is too much but focusing on this issue as if it were one of the most important features of the system is unbalanced and it gives a completely wrong impression of disabled people.
Recent research by Richard Berthoud [7] provides a convincing rebuttal of two common arguments: that the number of disabled people 'can't' have risen in recent years and that increasing numbers are due to the availability of benefits like DLA. Using General Household Survey data for the numbers who say they have a 'limiting long-term illness' his calculations show that the prevalence of disability 'rose gradually between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s, before falling gradually over the following ten years.' The employment penalty faced by disabled people, however, 'followed a different pattern. It rose very slowly at first, increased rapidly between 1987 and 2000, and then steadied.'
Contrary to saloon bar wisdom, 'most of the growth in the prevalence of limiting long-standing illness, and most of the rise in the disability employment penalty, has affected people at the more severe, rather than the less severe, end of the spectrum. This suggests that the underlying trend is a true one, not simply associated with people's reports of, or responses to, trivial conditions.'
Some people are concerned that the number of DLA claimants has risen faster than the number of disabled people and some commentators have taken this to mean that the increased expenditure on the benefit is fraudulent or unnecessary. Berthoud's research provides an authoritative response: changes in the social security system cannot explain the patterns of changes in the prevalence of disability or the extent of disabled people's employment disadvantage; the gap between the two opened up in the mid-1990s, a period when the social security system did not change much. [8]
There is a risk that the reforms might actually reduce the number of disabled people in paid work. A survey by the Disability Alliance found that 25 per cent of respondents were in employment but half of them feared that they would have to give up their jobs if they lost the support for independence that DLA offers. [9]
There may be an even greater problem: the focus on fraud in disability benefits could be partly responsible for the growth of hate crimes against disabled people. Opinion polling for the charity Scope [10] carried out in September found that 47 per cent of disabled people believe that public attitudes towards them have got worse over the past year. Two-thirds of disabled people say that they have experienced aggression, hostility or name calling. Two statistics in the poll suggest that the growing emphasis on fraudulent claims for disability benefits may have something to do with this:
- 65% thought others did not believe that they were disabled;
- 73% said they felt others presumed they did not work.
Both figures had risen significantly from the previous poll, in May. Some of the remarks by individual disabled people in Scope's report on these results provide even stronger connections back to the narrative used by politicians and journalists:
'I have had people shouting abuse in the street, like 'scrounger'. I have been attacked by a group of teenagers, who attempted to kick my stick away and knock me down. This happened in a busy shopping area and no one offered to help me afterwards...'
'I have been called scrounger, parasite, and a waste of space. My personal assistant was spat at for helping me recently in a local shop.'
'I've been called names in the street and told to "stop faking and get a f***ing job" while struggling to transfer to my wheelchair from the car.'
'I can walk although it is always with great pain and difficulty. I take a wheelchair with me most places and I am treated so much differently in a wheelchair. When I do get out of the wheelchair and walk a little way, I have been accused of faking it and being lazy. Because on the outside I look healthy and 'normal' people expect me to be healthy and normal.'

JUNE 2 is the tentative date set for the funeral of Skatalites bass player Lloyd Brevett.
Brevett — who died on May 3, suffered a series of seizures and strokes following his son, Okeene's murder months earlier — is expected to be interred in the May Pen Cemetery in Kingston. The service is scheduled for the Kingston Parish Church.
Lloyd Brevett, founding member of the Skatalites, died on May 3 from a series of seizures and strokes following his son, Okine's murder months earlier. He was 80.
According to Maxine Stowe, a family confidante, the date is not 'cast in stone' as arrangements are still being made by some of Brevett's family members including his children, who live overseas to fly into Jamaica.
She explained that the decision to bury to the founding member of the Skatalites in the May Pen Cemetery is in keeping with his last wishes.
"Mr Brevett wanted to be buried at May Pen Cemetery which is the final resting place of his parents, grandparents and other close family members. In addition, he also wanted to be buried in a sepulchre, which cannot be facilitated at Dovecot and any of the other more popular cemeteries," Stowe explained.
She added that the May Pen Cemetery is not in the best of condition. However, she is working with the superintendent of the facility to have some clean-up work done.

Rayman is back, and this time make some legendary moves!
Rayman Legends is a platform game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft and is out now on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 now and will be available on the Playstation Vita on 12 September 2013 and on 17 October 2013 in Japan, as a Wii U exclusive published by Nintendo.
Now I will hold my hands up and admit that I have never played a Rayman game before and I think that helped me go in with an open mind.
Rayman and his friends have been asleep for a very long time and the Bubble Dreamer's nightmares have been getting stronger and stronger. They are all awoken by Murfy who tell them the bad news that all the Teensies have been kidnapped and that they need to save them. Teensies are lovely colourful little creatures spread across the levels.
The menu screens are beautiful, as you walk about in front of the paintings that depict the levels you are treated with a pseudo 3D effect that is subtle but works wonders.
I had no idea how big this game was going to be but once I got into it I was taken back by the sheer scale of it, over 100 levels 6 different worlds. Each world has it's own theme and with the help of Murfy introduces new gameplay mechanics specific to that world. By using Murfy you can move platforms, cut ropes and even eat cake to help you move on. I later levels it can become quite difficult as you need to perfect timing to use him while jumping.
Later in the game the worlds start to invade one another and that unlocks new Invasion levels. The Invasion levels are harder remixed versions of previous levels where you have to race against the clock to finish the altered level while battling enemies from the other worlds. And if that was not enough we also have 40 levels from Rayman Origins to play as well!
You also get Creatures, Challenges, Kung Foot and Heroes to unlock. These are mini game variations using the game engine. Creatures give you extra Lums every day while the challenges change daily. Kung Foot is a 2 – 4 player game of football, and whilst playing you don't get to unlock anything you do get to have a laugh with friends playing it. Heroes are unlocked by completing special levels or by getting gold in each lever which gets you to the higher Levels of Awesomeness.
The Heroes are extra playable characters which in essence are just Rayman, Globox, Grand Minimus and a Teensy in different outfits and with slightly different animations. You can also unlock a whole new character called Barbara who is a warrior girl. When selecting a new hero you stand under their painting and a short description appears above it giving a little background to that hero.
To unlock the worlds and the levels inside them you need to save the Teensies that are littered throughout each level. Each level has 8 Teensies that are quite easy to find because if you cant see them you CAN hear them. However each level also has 2 hidden royal ones.
At the end of each level the game counts up the Lums you have collected and awards you bronze, silver and gold cups as well as a bonus scratch card that you can use to win Lums, Teensies, Creatures and levels for Back to Origins.
The graphics are amazing, it's like playing a Disney film. Everything is smooth and fluid while still being bright and cheerful I will even go as far as saying they are flawless. The music is spot on as well, it's not too loud and over powering and helps convey the feelings of each level.
I found it extremely hard to pick a favourite level because when you think you have found one a new one comes along. I don't want to spoil anything but I do enjoy the last level in each world the most.
It's safe to say that there is a lot to do in this game and it will keep people busy for months while they try to finish it 100%. You can also play co-op with 3 other friends on one console but sadly there is no online co-op.
One nice little touch is the use of Ubisofts Uplay where you can use Uplay point you have unlocked from other Ubisoft games to buy a nice Rayman theme as well as 5000, 7000 and 10,000 Lums to give you a boost.
To wrap up I would have to say that Rayman Legends is a must for anyone because once you start playing you will find a little voice in your hear whispering "Just one more level".

The Vatican on Monday dismissed anti-Semitic comments by the head of a rebel Catholic traditionalist group, saying the Roman church did not see Jews as enemies.
Bishop Bernard Fellay, head of the rebel Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), said last month that Jews were among those "who over centuries have been enemies of the Church".
Jewish support for the modernising reforms of the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council showed they were opposed to the Church, he said. The SSPX rejects the Council as a heretical event that betrayed age-old Catholic teaching and undermined the Church.
"It is impossible to speak of the Jews as enemies of the Church," Vatican spokesman Rev Federico Lombardi said, stressing the Church position on this was "clear and well-known".
"The Church is deeply committed to dialogue with Jews," he added.
Fellay was among four SSPX bishops who were excommunicated from 1988 to 2009, when Pope Benedict reinstated them.
Talks between the SSPX and the Vatican to reintegrate them fully into Church structures ended in failure last year because the SSPX refused to accept Council reforms - including Rome's reconciliation with the Jews - as valid Catholic teaching.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, a Jewish human rights group, denounced Fellay's comments last week as a sign of "the deep-rooted anti-Semitism that lies at the heart of the SSPX's theology".
The Second Vatican Council "shifted the relationship between Catholics and Jews into a positive direction", it said.
One of the four excommunicated SSPX bishops was Richard Williamson, who deeply embarrassed the Vatican by denying the Holocaust on Swedish television only days before he and the others were reinstated by the Vatican.
He has since been expelled from the group and is fighting charges of Holocaust denial in a German court, which took up the case because the television interview was filmed in Germany.

For most folks, it will make no difference. If you shoot high volume, get a 1 piece...or a Glock.
This is what was posted on another forum. I was just curious as to how to tell the difference!!
Made in Brazil
Most small parts are MIM
Barrel is a two-piece welded unit
Stainless models: many small parts are chome-plated carbon steel
Made in USA (using UAW labor)
Sear and disconnector are MIM, all other parts are cast or barstock
Barrel is one-piece forged unit
Stainless models: most parts are stainless, with exception of the hammer, firing pin stop, extractor, and maybe one or two other parts that are nickel-plated steel.
You pretty much get what you paid for. The Colt is the better investment, the Springer is the better value. If you're going to keep it stock get the Colt. If you're going to throw away all the small parts anyway and go for a full-house build the SA will cost less as a base pistol."
A whole bunch of manufacturers actually make barrels in two pieces; it an economic issue for some in that one material is used to make the chamber, or pressure assembly, and another to comprise the barrel. It is also easier for them to do this and then mate them together, most of them are in fact silver soldered where the chamber meets the throat of the barrel. With the advent of precision EDM and CNC machining, though not too many people make barrels that way anymore. Most of the people that still make barrels the old way are ones overseas using old U.S. tooling.
As far as the difference between a welded 2 piece versus a forged one piece, I say there is no difference; the first full house IPSC racegun I had back in 1991 had a custom Nowlin barrel in .38 super that was silver soldered together at the comp and the barrel hood; that gun saw at least 40,000 rounds go through it with no problems whatsoever. The load I used in that gun to make major was 13.2 grains of AA7 with a 115gr fmj, velocity was around 1590 so it was no mousegun load. The only reason I sold that gun was to get the new STI high cap 2011 gun that had just started hitting the circuit........

I have a Springfield 1911. I would guess that the barrel is two-piece. I was just wondering about it. I haven't had any problems with it, so no big deal.
Thanks for the comments!!
Most Browning/FN Hi-Powers have 2 piece barrels. They have used them for years with no problems.
It absolutely doesn't matter if it's one piece or two. Millions of GI barrels were built in two pieces and I have never seen one come apart. If you want to upgrade your barrel buy a name brand match barrel and have it fitted by a pro.
Here's one that did come apart;

The contrast to the lack of accountability for the Abu Ghraib mess is striking. And I am confident that the prisoner abuse scandal, by outraging Iraqis and fanning the flames of the insurgency, resulted in the deaths of more Americans than did the lapses in Libya.

Good News In The Numbers Game
Debate Still Rages About Role of State, Local Government in California, But Study Finds Their Revenue Data Are Sound
SAN FRANCISCO, California, March 18, 1997--Ending years of doubt about the accuracy of data involving the effects of Proposition 13 and other initiatives on local government finances in the state, a study released today by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) reports good news: the data are high-quality.
The study, authored by Michael A. Shires and Melissa Glenn Haber, is the first to examine the caliber of local public finance data published annually by the California State Controller's Office. The study addresses concerns that the Controller's report substantially undercounts locally raised revenues by failing to capture many of the special fees and charges that emerged in the aftermath of Proposition 13. After an exhaustive review of the financial records of more than 7,000 local government entities, the report concludes that the state data include virtually all of the public entities generating revenues at the local level.
"In order for Californians to have a reasoned debate about critical public finance and governance issues--from the appropriate role of state and local governments to the effects of the referendum process--we need to have confidence in the data we use," Shires said. "While there is always room for improvement, we were pleased to find that the Controller's information about local revenues is accurate and comprehensive."
The report makes a number of specific recommendations about how the data can be improved. The authors suggest maximizing the timeliness of the information by instituting an Internet/Web-based submission process for local governments and making the data publicly available on a prompt basis.
A Review of Local Government Revenue Data in California is the first in a series of PPIC reports on California's two-decade experiment with the initiative process: the use of direct democracy to limit representative government. Future publications will include a citizens' guide to assessing state and local tax burdens and an analysis of the winners and losers under Proposition 13--twenty years later.
The Public Policy Institute of California is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to nonpartisan research on economic, social, and political issues that affect the lives of Californians. David W. Lyon is President and CEO of PPIC.

So far, Packers' Eddie Lacy wins battle of backs
Rookie outperforms Steelers' Le'Veon Bell
Green Bay — It was April 26 at roughly 7 p.m. CST, and the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers rushing attack would be determined in the next seven minutes.
In retrospect, the prospects of the Green Bay ground game also would be decided in that small window of time.
Pittsburgh, which had lost starting running back Rashard Mendenhall in free agency, desperately needed a three-down back. And sitting with the 16th pick in the second round (48th overall selection) Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert was hell-bent on getting a running back.
Undersized Giovani Bernard was the only back off the board, having gone 37th to Cincinnati. So for the most part, Colbert had his pick of a so-so group of backs.
Colbert, seen as one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL, knew right where he was going. Colbert had become enamored by the unique size, strength, and ability to gain yards after contact by Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell, and he made the Spartans standout his choice.
As it turned out, Colbert's decision was a huge win for Green Bay.
Thirteen picks later, Packer general manager Ted Thompson — also desperate for a running back — found himself in a position identical to Colbert's. Thompson also was looking for a three-down back to rescue Green Bay's moribund running game.
Sitting there, ripe for the taking, was Alabama's Eddie Lacy, an All-American who was projected as a first-round pick in many circles. Thompson had passed on Lacy in the first round and then traded away the 55th overall selection. When Green Bay's choice at No. 61 came around, Thompson couldn't say no to Lacy a third time.
On Sunday, Bell and Lacy will meet at Lambeau Field when the Packers host the Steelers. While Bell has been solid during his rookie year, Lacy has been spectacular.
Thompson might slide a thank-you note in Colbert's direction.
"I think they're both going to be really good backs for the next four or five years," one NFC scout said Monday. "But right now, Green Bay's got the better player. No doubt about it."
There was much to like about both players heading into April's draft. Both had red flags, as well.
Bell measured 6 foot 1 and weighed 230 pounds, and benched 225 pounds 24 times at the NFL combine. He ran the 40-yard dash in a mediocre 4.60 seconds.
The powerful Bell, who has gained over 10 pounds since the combine, ran for 1,793 yards during his junior season at MSU. Of those, 922 yards came after contact.
Some scouts, though, were concerned by Bell's upright running style and that his career could be a short one.
Not Colbert.
"In Le'Veon we thought we had a complete package," Colbert said shortly after the draft. "There were several other backs that we liked as well, but not as well as Le'Veon.
"Even if he had a 1-yard hole that was blocked, once he made contact, he always seemed to fall forward for four more. And that was intriguing. His ability to catch and his ability to block were also intriguing."
Bell, who won't turn 22 until this off-season, missed the first three games of the season with a Lisfranc injury. But he has started the last 11 games and has 646 rushing yards, six touchdowns and a per-carry average of 3.3 yards.
"He really can be a very dynamic back in more ways than one," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger recently said of Bell. "I don't think he's scratched the surface of how good he can be as a runner, as a complete back."
While Bell has been solid, Lacy has been sensational.
Lacy (5-11, 230) slid down draft boards due to injuries more than anything else.
Lacy dealt with a turf toe injury the second half of the 2011 season, which later required surgery. After a brilliant junior year in which Lacy helped Alabama win the national championship, he didn't work out at the combine due to left knee, right pectoral and hamstring injuries.
Teams everywhere fretted whether or not Lacy would be available on game days. But despite his many ailments, Lacy missed just one game at Alabama. And despite his bruising style, Lacy has started 13 of 14 games in Green Bay.
Lacy eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark Sunday during Green Bay's 37-36 win at Dallas. And with 1,028 rushing yards now, Lacy is just 77 yards away from breaking John Brockington's franchise mark (1,105) for rookies.
Lacy's 60-yard run against Dallas gave the Packers a much-needed spark as they started their climb from a 26-3 deficit. And Lacy later scored the game-winning touchdown from one yard out.
"The guy just doesn't give up and won't go down easy," fullback John Kuhn said of Lacy. "He's been huge for us."
Indeed he has.
Without Lacy, it's hard to imagine the Packers would be 7-6-1 and still in contention for a third straight NFC North title. Lacy ranks seventh in the NFL in rushing yards, is averaging a solid 4.1 yards per carry and has done it with quarterback Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) sidelined for half of the season.
Lacy should garner plenty of support for offensive rookie of the year honors and could also be named to the Pro Bowl.
Bell has been satisfactory, but his play hasn't made a major difference in Pittsburgh's season. The Steelers are 6-8, rely heavily on the right arm of Roethlisberger and run the ball just 39.0% of the time.
Mistakes are made every day in the NFL. Hitting home runs with players is much harder.
Colbert's decision to select Bell falls somewhere in the middle. On the other hand, Thompson and Lacy are still rounding the bases.

Splunk Surges After Boosting Sales Forecast on New CustomersJames Callan
Splunk Inc., a maker of software that helps businesses analyze Internet data, jumped the most in nine months after raising its full-year sales forecast.
The shares increased 19 percent to $53.93 at the close in New York for the biggest gain since Nov. 22, 2013.
Splunk, which provides tools to analyze large sets of digital information from a variety of sources to improve service and reduce costs and security risks, was the first of the so-called big data companies to go public. The stock has more than tripled since its initial public offering in April 2012.
In the last quarter, Splunk signed more than 500 new customers including Portugal's Banco BPI SA, Dell Inc. and retailer Nordstrom Inc., according to a statement today.
Revenue for fiscal 2015 will be $423 million to $428 million, increased from a previous forecast of $402 million to $410 million, the San Francisco-based company said. Analysts projected $411.3 million, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Second-quarter revenue jumped 52 percent to $101.5 million, topping the $93.8 million average of analysts' estimates. It ended the period with more than 7,900 customers worldwide.
Splunk's shares more than doubled on their first day of trading in 2012 after pricing 70 percent above the originally proposed range in the initial public offering.
The company was backed by venture firms August Capital, JK&B Capital, Ignition and Sevin Rosen Funds. Splunk raised $25 million in 2007 to expand sales and marketing, build its international operations and develop partnerships.

Korea's Economic Miracle
€ 179,99

August 1997
BeschreibungVery few developing countries have successfully industrialised. Many are under pressure from international organisations to achieve 'self-sustainable' industrialisation. This is why Korea's case is particularly interesting. There have been many attempts to explain the causes of Koreas' economic miracle. These have focused mainly on the internal factors such as the discipline of the Korean workforce and export-promotion policies. The present study however shows that these factors contributed to Korea's impressive growth but do not explain the reasons for her success. External factors have been more important, the Japanese economy in particular. This book examines therefore in detail the impact of Japan's economic growth on the Korean economy, in particular the stimulating effects of trade, sub-contracting, relocation of industry, investment, loans and technology transfer. It demonstrates how Japan provided a range of goods, services and capitals which were precisely what the newly industrialising country needed.

|Solo for... Gülsün Karamustafa - Etiquette
|Solo for
Gülsün Karamustafa Etiquette
This exhibition by the Turkish artist opens the new series Solo for , which will once a year present artists who have showcased at the ifa galleries at the beginning of their international careers. The series thus highlights the continuous promotion of artists by the ifa gallery Berlin since 1991.
Gülsün Karamustafas works have been presented as early as 1994 in the exhibition Iskele and in 1999 in stills, cuts & fragments at the ifa galleries in Berlin and Stuttgart. Today she ranks among the most important voices of the Turkish art scene she examines stereotypes of femininity, at the same time always reflecting on Turkeys cultural heritage.
Gülsün Karamustafa will create an expansive installation entitled Etiquette. She draws on the image of a social event around a dining table in the early 20th century, combining it with visual and textual instructions taken from a book on etiquette, which was published in Turkey in 1923. This salon with its historical appearance establishes social conditioning and rehearses gender-specific roles. In Etiquette, Gülsün Karamustafa (born in Ankara in 1946, lives in Istanbul) subtly examines one of her central issues: she reflects upon the not only female formation of identity in a society that selectively adopts, rejects or modifies Western lifestyles. She questions cultural transfers, differences und Orientalisms that are still potent.
The catalogue will be published by Verlag für moderne Kunst, www.vfmk.de.
A review copy will be sent to you on request.
