Challenges in Central Banking
- Siklos,Pierre L.
- Bohl,Martin T.
- Wohar,Mark E.
Changes in the field of central banking over the past two decades have been nothing short of dramatic. They include the importance of central bank autonomy, the desirability of low and stable inflation, and the vital role played by how central banks communicate their views and intentions to the markets and the public more generally. There remains considerable diversity nevertheless in the institutional framework affecting central banks, the manner in which the stance of monetary policy is determined and assessed, and the forces that dictate the conduct of monetary policy more generally. The global financial crisis, which began in the United States in 2007, only serves to highlight further the importance of central bank policies. The aim of this volume is to take stock of where we are in the realm of the practice of central banking and considers some of the implications arising from the ongoing crisis.

The government's controversial omnibus crime bill won support from a well-known Quebec justice minister Wednesday, while at the same time parliamentarians were warned by a U.S. law enforcement group of the perils of mandatory minimum sentences.
In spite of widespread concerns mandatory minimums will lead to increased costs and overcrowding in jails with few avenues for successful rehabilitation of criminals, Marc Bellemare said he stands behind the bill.
The proposed Conservative crime legislation will allow criminals to be rehabilitated while they are incarcerated, the former Quebec justice minister told a Senate committee Wednesday.
Bill C-10, known as the Safe Streets and Communities Act is currently being studied in the Senate. The legislation amends nine laws and would establish new mandatory minimum prison sentences for a series of crimes, including drug possession. It has already passed in the House of Commons and is likely to pass the Red Chamber, where the Conservatives also hold a majority.
"Rehabilitation in not prevented with this bill," Mr. Bellemare told the Senate committee on legal and constitutional affairs on Wednesday. "Minimum sentences must be coupled with rehabilitation for this to work," he said.
Mr. Bellemare also suggested criminals should be forced to liquidate their assets and pay for their own incarceration, citing the high profile Shafia murder case in which the bodies of four women were discovered in the Rideau Canal near Kingston. Some reports say the incarceration of Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Mohammad Yahya and their son Hamed Shafia, could cost Canadian taxpayers as much as $10-million.
Although Mr. Bellamere acknowledged the crime rate in Canada has been steadily decreasing, he said tougher penalties are still needed to act as a further deterrent and restore the public's faith in the criminal justice system.
"I think that this bill must be adopted in order to increase the public's trust" in the justice system, Mr. Bellemare testified.
In comparison, officials in the United States are aiming to get rid of mandatory minimum sentences.
In a letter sent to the Canadian Senate by the Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Group, Eric Sterling, who served as counsel to the U.S. House judiciary committee during the 1980s, said mandatory minimum sentences for minor marijuana offences did not work.
"I played a major role in writing the mandatory minimum drug sentencing laws which later turned out to not only be ineffective in reducing drug use, but which directly contributed to the disastrous over incarceration problem in this country," Mr. Sterling said in a statement Wednesday. "I urge policy makers in Canada to learn from our mistakes."
The letter, signed by 28 current and former judges, police officers, and narcotics investigators, went on to say that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's comments that marijuana law reform in Canada would "cause a 'great deal of trouble' at the U.S. border and inhibit Canada-U.S. trade, are inaccurate and alarmist."
"Through our years of service enforcing anti-marijuana laws, we have seen the devastating unintended consequences of these laws," the letter said. "Among the greatest concerns is the growth in organized crime and gang violence."
Liberal Senator Larry Campbell, a member of LEAP's advisory board and a former member of the RCMP's drug squad, also voiced his concerns, saying he was hopeful the Senate would take LEAP's advice.
"The U.S. and many of its citizens have suffered greatly due to the inflexible and dogmatic nature of mandatory minimum sentences, and Canada would be wise to learn from and avoid that costly and socially destructive mistake," he said in a statement.Report Typo/Error

Treasures of the SnowMary Bartholomew, via The Good Book Stall
Yet another reprint of a very special favourite, one of five stories now available. I was delighted to have the opportunity to re-read this story. Although over fifty years old, there is nothing stale about this tale. Annette and her little brother Dani live in the Swiss Alps and their neighbour Lucien is the cause of a serious accident to little Dani. Dani is a happy child despite being crippled but Annette is full of hatred towards Lucien, and Lucien is riddled with guilt; as the story unfolds all three children find healing.

Foxes Does 'Happy'
Up and coming British singer-songwriter Foxes recently did a great cover of 'Happy' by Pharrell. It's very different from the original, it's actually almost unrecognizable!
Foxes recently won a GRAMMY Award recently for her collaboration with Zedd on the massive hit 'Clarity.' Watch our interview with her backstage at the GRAMMYs - she talks about chatting with Zedd on Skype and their awkward moment!.
I actually really like her cover! But I'm a sucker for covers that don't sound like the original. And Foxes can sing!

Additional Information on this Artwork:
The Pietà
, 1876, provides a very unique depiction of this most famous of imagery. The weeping Mary cloaked in a robe of black is mourning the death of her son whom she holds to her chest. The dead body of Jesus limply hangs in her arms while eight weeping angels surround them. The angels are clad in the colors of the rainbow and create an arc over Mary and Jesus. In the Old Testament, after the great flood had ended, Noah and his family saw an arcing rainbow, which was a sign from God that the flood was over and the world could be born anew. In Bouguereau's
, the rainbow symbolizes that the sacrifice of Jesus was complete and that the human soul can be born anew and ascend to God after death. Mary looks out and up. It is intended to be unclear whether if from her seated position she is focused on the viewer or the heavens with her swollen red eyes, filled with sorrow and accusation. Most likely as a mother mourns the loss of her child, she is accusing both the heavens and the earth for the pain she and her son has suffered. This interpretation of Mary is different from Michelangelo's
or many other versions, where Mary is offering her child to the world. Bouguereau's Mary clutches Christ, not offering him to a sinful world that required her son's sacrifice. At Jesus' feet lies the crown of thorns used to mock him during the Crucifixion; it lies on a white cloth covered in the blood of Christ, showing the torment Jesus went though in order that humanity could attain salvation. The white robe and pitcher of water represent the purity of Jesus' soul. Both Jesus and Mary are surrounded by a halo of light indicating their holiness. This painting was inspired by the death of Bouguereau's eldest son, George, who died directly before Bouguereau started work on this piece in 1875. Bouguereau had the grave misfortune to have lost 4 of his five children during his lifetime.

Sadashi Inuzuka's transcendent ceramic art is celebrated for exploring the overlap between the natural world, science and society. Over the past 20 years, Inuzuka has exhibited his work to national and international audiences.
After having been deemed legally blind, Inuzuka was discouraged from pursuing a career in the arts, but he used his visual impairment as a motivation to reach out to other disabled individuals and to help develop their own artistic identities.
Inuzuka has been awarded a University of Michigan Thurnau Professorship, the highest award for undergraduate teaching. Inuzuka is considered a pioneer in the design and implementation of community engagement courses. He has created courses that enable students to see first-hand the role art can play in social change.
He will discuss his current artistic endeavors, especially "Whaletown" Project, in a public lecture.
Free and open to all.

Please join us to brush up on that roll, try kayaking for the first time, or dust off the frozen cobwebs of winter!]]>
We have heard reports of a river wide log in Blackadar on the canyon. Extreme caution should be taken as the rapid is hard to portage. If you have been up there and can send us some pics please do! send them to tren (at) cascade raft (dot) com!]]>
$245 (includes lunch)
June 9-10, 2012]]>
Feb/March/April-6:30 session only
May/June/July/August-6:30 & 7:30 sessions
Sept-6:30 session only
The goal of this community-wide effort is to provide an opportunity for these children, many from difficult backgrounds, to have positive interactions with authority figures (police officers, the raft guides and other adults) with the intention of changing their perceptions and building positive community relations for the future. Whitewater rafting is a remarkably successful means to accomplishing this goal.
If you wish to volunteer your time or make financial or in-kind contributions, we are always looking for assistance with this growing event. Please call the Cascade Raft & Kayak office (208-793-2221) or email firstname.lastname@example.com]]>
Thanks to everyone who took the time and came to the meeting to support safety and our river system, hopefully the next Payette River Clean up day can garnish the same support!!!]]>
Long Family – Cascade Raft and Kayak
There has been some heated debate over the last few days regarding a permit that was issued for the removal of a rock on the rapid Staircase on the South fork of the Payette River. The reactions have ranged from genuine concern for river safety to personal attacks of character. A lot of this reaction has been formed without all of the information at hand, and hopefully we can clear some of that up.
In 2001 a MASSIVE mudslide completely wiped out the rapid known as Staircase. A dam was created and the damage was so extensive that the road to Garden Valley was cut off.
In an effort to reopen the road, the Army Corp of Engineers drudged the riverbed, placing boulders roughly where they thought they were before the slide.
In 2007, guide Dean Fairburn lost his life on the rock in question, entrapped in a sieve that was formed when the rock was placed there. Since then it has been a very common wrap spot, with at least one additional body entrapment that we are aware of. Cascade Raft guides and support staff aided in the removal of 8 wrapped private boats over the 2010 season, clearly this placed rock is a hazard to ALL river users.
Our concern is that there is a man enhanced feature on a rapid that is a clear hazard to all river users that has already claimed the life of one person. In this spirit we looked into removal of the rock. We applied for a permit, following the standard protocol set out by the State, contacted a crane operator to see if such a feat was even possible, and waited. With no intention of actually removing anything we continued to pursue this goal. We have followed all the rules and laws set out before us in investigating the manipulation of this rock. If our intentions were to remove the rock with out public comment, then we would have moved it while we had the permit before the public had a chance to comment. But that was not our goal, which gets us here, to public comment. Unfortunately some of the comments have been not directed at what rock, why, and when, but attacking a specific person and company.
The facts out there for public comment are:
If this is something that seems to be a good idea and the river community supports it, the Long Family is happy to continue to move forward in the removal of the rock in question.
If it does not have the river community support, at least our conscience will be clear if someone else looses their life there.
A public forum has been scheduled at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at Cascade Outfitters/Maravia, 604 E. 45th St., Garden City.
It seems strange to me that we all support the alteration of the steam bed to make water parks, and in some cases even compete diversion of a river, but an effort to remove a rock that has is a clear unnatural hazard is unthinkable. Kelly's Whitewater park runs on the NF of the Payette, they dramatically altered the river, and have plans to alter the river again, but there is no condemnation or outpouring of sentiment. So do we as the boating community support altering the stream bed only when it improves our play waves and not when it can save lives?
We appreciate the community's involvement in the river!

Get your act together — and race series, too
Published June 3, 2002
Both CART and the IRL have to pull their heads out of the sand ["Battered CART shifts its hopes to new strategy," May 20-26].
The sad truth is that they are still hurting each other's series by directly competing against each other. At the end of the day, they are both open-wheel racing. If they could see past their differences and bury the hatchet, then together they could build the premier racing series in the world.
Both CART and the IRL have proven themselves to be much more competitive and exciting to watch than the other open-wheel series (read Formula One). CART has proven last year that Europe likes the product. I think the reason for this is that Europeans want to see racing again, and they also enjoy being able to get close to the drivers in the paddock.
This is what makes American open-wheel racing unique, the fact that it is fan friendly. Formula One has become an event where a group of guys get together on Sunday and drive really fast around a road course, but they don't race! Heck, they even pull over to the side of the track to let King Schuey win!
If both CART and the IRL could see past their differences and remerge the series, then I think open-wheel racing could begin to solidify the fan base and sponsor base that have been eroding since the split. Both series could learn something from NASCAR in that fans understand it, and there is only one series.

You worry too much. Although some technology does go by the wayside CDs will probably have a long life. I suspect for the foreseeable future html and CSS will be grandfathered in to browsers because of legacy sites. Fortunatly, Microsoft who has little reguard for legacy has little power in the web world. I suspect they will be in for a huge suprise because their new browser will not support a good bit of legacy sites. Keeping things simple and not using plug-ins is wise. I would go so far as to say I don't think all the falshy entertaining plug-ins have much place in an informational setting.
Someone stated Anglefire went down...
http://twentyfifthohio.angelfire.com/page5.html seems to work for me.
Often unbelievable treasures end up in the garbage when the genealogist/historian dies. I could tell you about losses I personally know of where even museum grade artifacts got tossed. Putting what you can on freepages is probably one of the best insurance you can do. Ancestry isn't going anywhere.
This topic is very timely for me. The favorite site involving one of my ancestors, hosted by the library of UCLA dropped it now I am going to try to re-create it except more to my liking.

Watching two beautiful girls kiss is a definite turn on. Watching them sensously undress each other until theres nothing between them but soft trembling skin, and watching them caress each others most intimate, inner canals of pleasure is hypnotizing. But when they abandon all restraint and push their probing tongues deep into the most taboo areas of their bodies, its a mind boggling feast for the eyes! So join us as these sex starved sluts get off by reaming the nastiest places on their bodies, their assholes!

Vintage Motorcycle Hang Tag Black Ribbon by SweetlyScrappedArt
1 Recommendation
SweetlyScrapped's recommendation

Great 1st cruise on MAJESTY of THE SEAS!!: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by negrom2002
Overall Member Rating
Great 1st cruise on MAJESTY of THE SEAS!!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
We had a great time on the Majesty of the Seas, the staff was really friendly and helpful all the time. Our stateroom was small but very clean and comfortable. The food in general was really good and I was amazed that it was never crowded anywhere but the cruise was at full capacity.
There was stuff to do at any time of the day and night, shows, dances, live music, bingo, games, competitions, quiet places to be alone and in our stateroom we could barely hear any noises.
I would say that the only bad thing is that the AC was really cold at the common areas, it's a summer vacation you are not supposed to feel cold on the cruise!!
Prices for drinks were fair enough, cheaper than any other place we have vacationed.
We visited key west and Nassau, couldn't make it to Cococay cause the bad weather. Nevertheless we bought a More day pass for the Atlantic in Nassau and we had a great time enjoying the aquarium, the beaches, pools and water games. Less

Cabin review: F16090 Ocean View Stateroom
Our stateroom was in an excellent location, floor 6 near the elevators. Near the center part of the ship, but incredible that we couldn't hear any noises and we did take anytime naps during the day. We really enjoyed our stateroom, it was small compared to a normal hotel but it was cosy and very clean. The bathroom was really small, you can get 2 persons at the same time there. Nevertheless we didn't have any problems during our vacations.Read All Ocean View Stateroom (F1) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
We bought our trolley tour ticket directly in the port and it worked great and at a good price (usd 20 each 2 days).
We didn't find so nice the beach in Key West, the windy day didn't help but the water didn't look so nice. The algae crowded along the coastline were pretty disgusting and the smell was bad.
The bus and shuttle lanes were very organized and never crowded, we arrived to port at noon (departure was at 5pm) thinking it would take a while to get onboard, we were wrong.
We did not like Nassau, but we loved the Atlantis resort, it was like a different world on Paradise Island. I would recommend everyone to buy a day pass and spend your time visiting that place, you won't regret it.

Few people are aware of the concept of lucid dreaming. This is the quickest and the surest way to have a conscious awareness of being in a dream while you are experiencing in a lucid dream. Please do not confuse lucid dreams with normal dreams. These two are different. Lucid dreaming requires a considerable amount of preparation and practice. You can master lucid dreaming in a short span of time and get hold of controlling them and increase their length.
The Art of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming is a fun process if you can understand the underlying principle and get a hang of it. In this process, we exactly decide what goals we want to achieve in our life and then we fulfill them in our (lucid) dreams. You experience each event while your dream is on. And the real fun begins once you can understand how to control the lucid dream.
This has endless possibilities. With very little practice, you can experience a lot. And then as your faith in the process increases, then it is recommended that you practice to increase the time frame of your lucid dreams so that you can achieve more during a specific time frame.
Dangers of Lucid Dreaming
The good news is that there is no danger associated with lucid dreaming. It is simply an experience. There is no negative jolt to your mind. Since you can only enter into lucidity once you are completely relaxed and at ease, therefore there is no scope of impacting your health.
In-fact, you can use this to your benefit in your real life. For example, if you are a professional and are getting ready for giving a presentation, you can experience it while being in a lucid state. You can score yourself in the presentation since you are consciously aware of its happening (in your dreamy state).
You require a lot of patience and you should be persistent in understanding the fundamentals of lucid dreams properly and then applying it. Start with a few seconds per day and then increase the time duration gradually. Most people want to know how to lucid dream tonight. It is to be understood that this does not happen overnight. A lot of effort has to go in the process to master it. And once mastered, you can enjoy its fruits.

What happens if my child is referred to Probation as a result of an arrest or alleged crime?
The goal of the Probation Department is to provide the least restrictive program available to meet the needs of your child. The decision to identify the correct program involves looking at several factors. These include the nature of the offense; did it involve violence or result in an injury to another party? Is there restitution owed to the victim and how long will it take to pay the amount? What was the minor's level of remorse or attitude about the offense? Are there issues with truancy, drugs or alcohol, or is the family experiencing a level of conflict which requires probation involvement? These are just some of the areas assessed.
If the matter is a misdemeanor and there is no prior delinquent history then a six month program of diversion can be made available. Diversion is a voluntary program which may involve counseling, regular school attendance, substance abuse intervention, and community work service hours. Diversion is offered in lieu of referring the matter to juvenile court. After six months if the conditions of diversion have been met the case is closed.
If your child has had a previous diversion program from probation and receives a citation for possession of alcohol or marijuana, the matter will be referred to Traffic Court where a fine, counseling and sanctions on a drivers license or privilege can be imposed.
If the referring offense is a felony and /or there are significant concerns regarding a pattern of a risk behavior, then the matter will be referred to juvenile court. The court will refer the matter to Probation to prepare a report which identifies the minor's needs and the level of supervision necessary to correct the behavior. This level of intervention is not voluntary and is not time limited. Jurisdiction of a minor placed on probation can extend to the 21st birthday.
How long will my child be on Probation?
Your child can remain on Probation until he/she reaches the age of twenty-one. Although your child can remain on Probation until the age of twenty-one the Juvenile Court may decide to terminate probation early. The decision to terminate Probation early depends on the nature of the charges, your child's completion of the terms and conditions of Probation and your child's overall behavior while on Probation.
How often will I see my child's Probation Officer?
The amount of contact with your child's Probation Officer depends on your child's performance while on Probation. You and your child will see your child's Probation Officer a minimum of one time a month or more on an as needed basis.
Who makes the decision to recommend to the court that a child be placed in a foster/group home?
The decision to recommend removal of a child from their family is very important and is not taken lightly. A Probation Officer who is considering out of home placement must present the case to the staffing committee. The committee considers the officer's presentation, as well as all available options, before coming to a decision. The committee must be in agreement that out of home placement is in the child's best interest before it will become a recommendation to the court.
How long will my child be placed in a group home?
Each group home has different program requirements, so it is difficult to answer in terms of a release date. It is best not to think in terms of the child "doing time". Emphasis will be placed on meeting each child's needs during their time at a group or foster home. On average, most children remain in placement approximately 12 months. They will have a court hearing every 6 months to address their progress and expected date of return to their family.
What can my child take with him to the foster/group home?
Generally, the child will need one week of clothing, including underwear and socks. A jacket or sweatshirt should also be provided. Most programs will allow the child to wear their own tennis shoes. It is important that the clothing not contain anything that can be considered "gang related", or promote violence, drug/alcohol use, or be sexual in nature. Personal property such as IPODs, music CD's, or cell phones are not permitted. Most programs will consider some personal property after the child has obtained a higher level in their program.
What is the Juvenile Drug Court Program?
The Juvenile Drug Court (JDC) is a nationally recognized intensive substance abuse program, that combines treatment and accountability. It is a collaboration between the Probation Department, Drug and Alcohol Services, and the Juvenile Court. Each participant is given an individualized treatment plan, that may include a wide range of treatment services. Also included are increased supervision, frequent testing, and weekly court appearances. JDC is a special calendar within the Juvenile Court, and parents are expected to appear in court with their child. JDC is open to most wards of the court who are ready to beginning living a sober lifestyle.
How does a child become a part of the JDC?
All wards or potential wards are screened for JDC. Priority is given to those juveniles who exhibit the most serious substance abuse issues. There is a limit to the number of juveniles who can take part in JDC, and there is frequently a waiting list. JDC should not be considered a consequence for drug or alcohol use, but an opportunity to gain intensive services to assist them with their substance abuse issues.
What benefit will my child get from the JDC program?
Juveniles in the JDC program gain the attention of dedicated professionals whose main concern is your child's sobriety. Parents, as well as minors, will be asked to participate in all program activities and commit to the program requirements. Positive reinforcement, as well as regular accountability, will be used to promote a clean and sober lifestyle. School and home life will also be closely monitored to ensure that the juvenile is making the best use of their free time. Parent Support groups, drug counseling, and community resources will be utilized to further address each participant's issues. Four phases are used to encourage and guide the juveniles to a sober lifestyle. The final stage, Aftercare, assists the juvenile with integrating into the community while resisting the temptations of drugs and alcohol.
Why is the Probation Department involved with Community School?
California law under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 601(b), states a minor who has four or more truancies within one school year or habitually refuses to obey the reasonable and proper orders or directions of school authorities is deemed to be within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. The Probation Department is authorized to provide intervention services in an attempt to reduce or stop the behavior.
What is the role of the Probation Officer at Community School?
The role of the probation officer at the community school is to provide a variety of services to students including but not limited to:
Monitoring school attendance in an effort to stop truant behavior
Behavior and crisis intervention
Assist school officials with on-site supervision of the students
Enforce the terms and conditions of probation to insure a safe school environment
Direct or refer students to on-site or community counseling services, community work service or other social services
What is the WIC 654 Contract?
Attendance at community school requires that students be under the supervision of the Probation Officer. In lieu of filing a petition for truancy under 601(b) of the Welfare and Institutions Code, the WIC 654 contract is an agreement between the minor and parents or legal guardian and the Probation Department to enter into a diversion program of supervision for a period not to exceed 6 months as a condition of enrollment at community school.
What are the eligibility requirements to attend community school?
A minor is eligible to enroll into community school for the following reasons:
They have been expelled from a school district for any reasons specified in subdivisions a and c of Section 48915 of the Education Code
They have been referred by a school district as a result of the recommendation of a school attendance review board or at the request of the minor's parent or legal guardian and the approval of the school district
They have been referred by the Probation Department
Are on probation or parole and not in attendance in any school
They are deemed to be homeless.
What is diversion?
Diversion is an early intervention program for minors who are first time offenders. In San Luis Obispo County this program is called "ICD, Intensive Community Diversion". It is set up under the guidelines established within Welfare and Institutions Code 654. It is a lower level of accountability than formal probation, where minors are required to appear in court and follow court orders. Diversion will involve meeting with a probation officer who makes assessments on the strengths and risk factors of the minor and family. If the minor is willing to take responsibility for the offense, a contract is put together. The contract may include the minor/parents taking part in a counseling program; the minor doing community work service, paying restitution if there is a victim, and other assignments. There is no charge for this service. There are some resources within the community that do charge for participation such as Drug and Alcohol's MAP program, an educational four to six week program. Diversion usually lasts up to 6 months but can be extended an additional 90 days for the minor to complete the assignments.
How can I finish diversion before 6 months?
Every case is looked at individually. If you are motivated and complete your assignments before 6 months, the probation officer has the discretion to close the case early.
Where are diversion meetings held?
Generally, the first meeting is held at a county office site, where the location is in an area to best suit the needs of the family. Sites include offices in South County, San Luis Obispo, and the coast. For minors residing north of the city of San Luis Obispo there is a North County Diversion Program.
When I fill out a job application am I required to say I am on probation if I am in the diversion program?
No, as you are not "on Probation" when participating in the voluntary diversion program. This program is informal as opposed to appearing before a judge.
What if the parent(s) or legal guardian only speak Spanish?
The probation officer will assist the family in finding the appropriate services available in the community as well as within the department's Diversion Unit.
What if our child has a serious drug, alcohol, educational and/or psychological problem?
The probation officer is equipped to make assessments and referrals to appropriate local resources based on your child's needs. When multiple agency involvement is needed a referral is made to an interagency meeting known as SAFE. A probation officer, mental health worker, social worker, EOC representative, school representatives, other agencies asked to attend the meeting, and the family are present to develop a plan to keep the minor safe.
What is a truancy officer and what is their role?
Probation officers are assigned to the Atascadero Unified School District to work with the student population that has been identified as having attendance problems. The joint goal of the district and probation is to identify obstacles that are keeping minors from attending school and eliminating those obstacles so that a minor has regular attendance. The probation officers in these positions are acting, as an extension of the school to assess the minors needs. It does not mean the minor has been placed on probation.

ANSA McAl, New GPC among seven seeking to supply drugs for health sector
Trinidadian conglomerate ANSA McAl and the locally-based New GPC are among seven companies which have submitted pre-qualification documents for the supply and delivery of billions of dollars worth of medical supplies for Guyana's health sector.
The pre-qualification for health supplies covers the 2014 to 2016 period and comes amid concerns that new pre-qualification criteria were tailored to favour New GPC, which has earned billions of dollars in drug supply contracts in recent years. If pre-qualified, ANSA's entry could shake up the market.
New GPC has had a close relationship with the PPP/C government and opposition MPs have for years questioned the circumstances under which drug supply contracts were awarded to it.
The submissions were opened yesterday at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
Western Scientific Company, another firm out of Trinidad and Tobago, is also seeking to supply and deliver pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other consumables.
The remaining companies, which are all Guyana-based, are Telcom Solu-tions (Guyana) Inc, Medi-tron Scientific Sales, Inter-national Pharmaceutical Agency (IPA) and Global Healthcare Supplies Inc.
The documentation submitted by the companies included an original and two copies of their tender documents and compliance certificates. The submissions were received by Ministry of Health Pro-curement Officer Prakash Sookdeo, who is also head of the Materials Manage-ment Unit. Evaluators of the ministry's choosing will assess them.
Stabroek News understands that the NPTAB will not be a part of the evaluation process as the Health Ministry has its own committee to do so.
According to the evaluation criteria, bidders will be awarded points according to how they score on a number of questions in the categories of 'General Information,' 'Financial Capacity,' 'Infrastructure,' 'Previous Experience,' 'Established Linkages,' 'Manufacturer/Distributor Information,' 'Quality Information' and 'Product Information.'
It said that out of 200 available points, all entities seeking to prequalify to bid must score 80 percent.
Preference will be given to pharmaceutical manufacturers in Guyana and companies that have appropriate warehousing facilities in Guyana, according to the evaluation criteria document. It said too that products manufactured in Guyana and certified by the Government Analyst Food and Drug Department automatically qualify and are eligible for a 10 percent price advantage compared with imported items.
Under General Infor-mation, the evaluators will ask whether an applicant is a legally registered company in Guyana and will award a maximum score of 5 points for this. Under Financial Capacity, an applicant will earn maximum points for having a turnover of $1 billion, net assets of over $500 million and paying at least $50 million a year in corporate taxes to the Treasury.
In addition, 5 points are awarded if a company has over 50 full-time employees with an average time on the job of three years. Under Infrastructure, 10 points are given if the applicant has a warehouse facility of 30,000 square feet in Georgetown or its environs, with suitable equipment, staff, IT, security, certification and sanitation. An additional five points are awarded if the facility has three separate temperature control zones for the storage of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. Having a separate area for the storage of controlled substances, i.e. narcotics, will attract a score of 10 points.
While many of the criteria are reasonable for developing countries seeking to boost local drug manufacturing, the continued favouring of New GPC, which became prominent during the Bharrat Jagdeo administration, has led the political opposition to charge that the government's intention is to steer the majority of drug supply business to New GPC no matter what. Reputable international suppliers who may not have warehouses here, are not locally registered and clearly do not have turnover of $1 billion would be automatically shut out, critics argue.
Prior to New GPC's rise to prominence, specialised overseas agencies had supplied over 90% of the government's requirements.

Kelly faces the task of the Irish
- |
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Brian Kelly has his dream job. Now he has to figure out how to turn a Notre Dame program mired in mediocrity back into a national championship contender.
Just as he did when he was introduced as the Cincinnati coach three years ago, Kelly talked at his introductory news conference yesterday about having a five-minute plan, not a five-year plan that reflects the length of his contract.
"When I refer to the challenge, it's strictly getting to that high bar that's been set at Notre Dame,'' he told a standing-room crowd of 200 people. "We've got challenges, but we'll go to work on those right away.''
Kelly left an undefeated Cincinnati team that is ranked No. 3 in the BCS standings, bound for the Sugar Bowl and may have been one second away from playing for the national title. The Irish are nowhere near that close and haven't won it all in 21 years. Kelly wouldn't say how far away he thinks his new team is from that level, saying where the team now isn't important.
"These young men want to win, and that's why I'm here at Notre Dame,'' he said. "I want to be around men that are committed, and we can't trade anybody. There's no waiver wire. We're going to develop our players, and they're going to play their very best for us. That to me has always been the most important principle. Let's go. Don't tell me what you don't have. I don't want to know about it. Tell me what you can do to help us win.''
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Kelly, 48, was the first candidate he spoke to and the only one he offered the job to.
Kelly said he was ready to get to work restoring Notre Dame's traditions. "Those aren't 8-4 years. Those are national championship years,'' he said. "So any time you're talking about restoring a program and the challenges, it's not about winning the conference championship, it's about winning championships and being in the BCS and being nationally prominent.''

A woman has sued Yahoo! for $US3 million ($A3.94 million), alleging that company has failed to fulfill a promise to remove nude pictures of her from the web.
Cecilia Barnes, 48, in a lawsuit filed last Tuesday in Multnomah County, claims an ex-boyfriend began posting unauthorised personal profiles of her containing the photos in December. The profiles included her email address and work phone number.
The former boyfriend also engaged in online discussions in Yahoo! chatrooms while posing as Ms Barnes and directing men to the profiles, the lawsuit claims.
"Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at plaintiff's work expecting to engage in sexual relations with her," the lawsuit claims.
Ms Barnes sent Yahoo! a letter in January saying she did not create the profiles and wanted them removed. Additional attempts to get Yahoo! to remove them in February and March did not get a response, the lawsuit claims.
A Yahoo! spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company did not comment on pending litigation.

Simulated Poverty, Real Learning
UNLV nursing students and volunteers from Help of Southern Nevada, a local homeless shelter, conducted a poverty simulation exercise to help students better understand the realities of poverty. With greater awareness, healthcare practitioners and service agencies can more effectively address the poverty issues in our community.
Organized by nursing professor Nancy Menzel, the program helps students understand the complexities and frustrations of living in poverty day to day. Using a simulation kit, participants role-play the lives of low-income families.
They are given the stressful task of providing for basic necessities and shelter on a limited budget during the course of four 15-minute "weeks," where they interact with human service agencies, grocers, pawnbrokers, bill collectors, job interviewers, police officers, and others. According to U.S. Census data from 2009, more than 300,000 Nevadans - or 12 percent - live below the poverty level.

Come one, come all, to Cobequid Educational Centre's (CEC) princess tea.
The school lobby will be transformed on Sunday, March 23, from 2 to 5 p.m., into a kingdom for princesses and parents from across the land. The event is organized by staff and student volunteers as a fundraiser for Student Council and will be the first of its kind hosted by the school. Tickets cost $30 for one adult and one princess, and $20 for each additional princess.
All princesses must be escorted by an adult and costumes are certainly encouraged. Tickets can be purchased March 17 to March 21 during the lunch hour and after school until 4 p.m. Alternate arrangements can be made by calling the CEC office, 896-5700. Don't miss this chance to let a child feel the special joy of being treated like a princess, if only for one afternoon.
CEC's curling teams had an impressive showing at the regional championships in Pugwash recently. The boys team, consisting of Ben Hennigar, Drew Spinney, Sam Byers and Cameron Bégin, and the mixed team of Natalie Hearn, Nathan Smith, Katie Hennigar and Chris Burgess, captured the regional banners in an exciting tournament. Both teams will advance to the NSSAF Provincial Championships at the Lakeshore Curling Club March 21 to 23.
The CEC Ski Team had an eventful week at regionals. The Cougars brought home three regional banners: Intermediate girls, senior girls and senior boys. The team also had four first place individual finishes by Leigha Henderson in intermediate girls, Natalie Cudmore in senior girls, Austin MacCoul in intermediate boys and Aidan Roy in senior boys.
Participation in the Teens for Jeans campaign, established by Aeropostale, led to an impressive total of 456 pairs of jeans being donated by CEC to individuals in need across the country. Student Council members also went door-to-door collecting food bank donations as part of the annual Battle of the Badges food drive. More than 1,100 pounds of food was donated in just one night. Student Council would like to thank the community for their support in both of these worthwhile campaigns.
Sarah Millman is a Grade 12 student at CEC. She lives in Truro. Her Inside CEC column appears regularly in the Truro Daily News.

Introductions were made around the table. A new member was welcomed to the LIFE Board Eric Moskalski.
Minutes of the May 3, 2012 LIFE Board meeting were approved.
Members of the LIFE Board are invited to attend the monthly Family Consumer Council meetings held on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Locations switch between Fort Collins and Loveland at different community locations.
Community Life Center:
· The Family Consumer Council (FCC) was organized under the Differential Response Grant about two years ago to promote community engagement and establish a Community Life Center (CLC).
· The FCC has several task forces that meet to help organize the CLC.
· Jerri Howe of the Matthews House is the organizer of the Matthews House Community Life Center. The CLC is located at the Fullana Learning Center at 220 North Grant Ave. in Fort Collins. The CLC works in collaboration with The Matthews House, Poudre School District, Larimer County Dept. of Human Services and House of Neighborly Service in Loveland, where we hope to have another CLC.
· Jerri Howe reported that by October 1st the CLC hopes to be open Monday Saturday 9:00 AM 9:00 PM and 1:00 6:00 PM on Sundays offering many different services, including an open gym. Some of the services available:
o Larimer County Peak System (Public Assistance Programs)
o Open gym
o Classes for parents and children/youth with child care available
o Non-profit agencies will have services available
o Computer access
o Training rooms
· Tim Caffrey reported on the two shows he produced for the CLC that aired on Public Access television and also on YouTube.
· Some other areas that are being worked on for the CLC are: Transportation headed by Rich Guest of the FCC, Resource Development and Volunteer Engagement.
Budget Update:
· Denise Suniga reported on the 2012-2013 CORE Allocation for Larimer County - $1,920,922 increased this year by $268,000.
· The CORE Services Plan is due to the State by the end of August.
Discuss Gaps in Services/Brainstorm New Services:
· Coaching services is a Larimer County designed program and is keeping families connected with the community by increasing family engagement. This is a successful flexible program which is part of the services evaluated by CSU annually of our CORE Services outcomes. Some of the additional $268,000 from our allocation was distributed to Coaching.
· Failure to thrive for children was identified as a gap in our services. Larimer County Department of Human Services will partner with the Health Department to hire a nurse for the Children, Youth and Family Division to help our families.
· Laurie Klith of the Center for Family Outreach offers a Strengthening Families program for parents with teenagers between the ages of 13-15.
· Paul Christenson of Turning Point discussed the gap of providing crisis intervention for those youth in the school district at risk of entering into the system since funding from a crisis intervention grant will end soon. Denise Suniga suggested he contact Darcie Votipka at Poudre School District to see if she could be of any help with bringing the service/program idea to LCIOG.
· At this time the CORE Services plan does not allow for preventative services unless a case is open with the Department of Human Services. There may be a new area (PA3) that may allow for preventative services in CORE Services under HB11-1196. We need clarification for a prevention plan Denise will keep us informed on this. Laurie and Pauls ideas for services are considered preventative services and are not under the CORE Services plan.
· Elementary age kids and truancy were also identified as a gap in services.
· If anyone has ideas about new services please let Denise know by email. firstname.lastname@example.com
CORE Commission Report
· The CORE Commission report which evaluates how programs help us meet our outcomes is in draft stage. We will distribute the final report once it is available.
November LIFE Board Meeting
· The LIFE Board Meeting planned for November 1st has been moved to November 8th.

Hamlet and "Unpacking the Heart"
Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 95. Sunday, 3 May 1992.
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1992 10:49:00 -0400
Subject: 3.0092 Qs: Hamlet's "Whore"; Bevington on Disk?
Comment: Re: SHK 3.0092 Qs: Hamlet's "Whore"; Bevington on Disk?
The notion that whores use abusive language more readily than others
less trammeled with social regulations, propriety, &c., is conventional
enough. Part of this comes with the outlaw territory: the proverbial
expression is "As bold, or brazen-faced, as a whore" [Cotgrave's transla-
tion of "Effronte' en putain", 1611].
However, I think it unlikely that "unpacking" the heart is a
positive concept -- whores are not more honest because less bound by
social convention. More to the point, they are *less* honest, their
sweet words adopted for convenience of trade, their curses expressive
of an indiscriminate hostility in evidence whenever professional considera-
tions do not require sweetness. Thus, unpacking the heart reveals not
true feelings but the accumulated baggage of vicious anger and contempt.
The resulting language is indiscriminate abuse -- and thus the whore's
language is conventional and ultimately empty.
In comparing his ranting to a whore's, Hamlet is chiding himself for
indulging in the temporary emotional satisfaction of using strong language,
as if it had any effect on reality.
There's a parallel here with any number of rather misogynistic
conventions about certain kinds of women's use of language (fishwives, &c.),
but I really don't think we need to get into that...

Getting to know the 'Downton Abbey' family
March 5, 2013
Thoroughly enjoyed the column about "Downton Abbey" written by Sue Clark.
Yes, we too are captured by the lushness of the surroundings, the fantastic costuming, characters and top-notch actors. Maggie Smith? Color us all happy!! And there is yet another long-running (eight years, I believe) program of this ilk, which was filmed in Australia and is also highly addictive. Try to find "McLeod's Daughters." You will not be able to miss it. I have one family member who gets it through Netflix, I believe, and has watched it at least three times, spread out over some time. This program is not about how the very rich live, but it is a pretty good representation of ranch life in another country. The script lets you into everybody's life of course and rather realistically.
Isn't that partly what we all like about "Downton?" We come to "know" these people and are saddened by the fact that they will not always be there for us.

Subject: [FreeHelp] re: German Characters
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2002 09:32:04 -0600
Thanks listers, for all the input regarding German characters, and a few other handy ideas. I was not aware that the ALT function has two codes, one with 3 digits, and another with 4 digits. But, I must admit to being a blind DUH-M-BO, not seeing my own problem. (Maybe this will help someone else). MY keyboard has a factory demo, which is loaded, or attempts to activate, anytime you press the ALT & END keys. On the numeric keypad, the END key also happens to be the digit "1", and the number 1 is part of the umlaut code. Thus, an obvious conflict of what I was trying to accomplish. I am now looking how to disable this demo function, and the ALT xxx or ALT xxxx will work if the code contains the numeral 1.
And yes, searches with spelling variations are common. It never dawned on me til now, that the umlaut characters are also variations. Also, to include these in the "meta name" area. Thanks again.

Summary:Love my Hogan CS3 9.5 graphite driver--it consistently finds the fairway and is easy to hit. The head is not the giant 460 and I can use regular length tees. My only complaint is the sound, but that was how the first metal clubs sounded, too. I am trying to find another in case this ones breaks, but they are hard to find.

Model Reviewed:Ben Hogan CS-3 Draw Bias Driver
Summary:Used this driver all 2007 and 2008 to-date. It is outstanding. Used to have a consistent fade that would vary depending on swing speed. I was consitently missing fairways and in trouble. This driver is consistently straight with almost no fade. I avg. between 250-260 yds. consistently with at least two 270+ drives per round. My three playing partners are amazed at the number of fairways I hit or how close I am when I miss. This club has permitted me the opportunity to hit consitently under 85 instead of over 85. I use the 9.5 draw bias version with the Aldila NV 70 shaft. This club will be in my bag until the face caves in. I feel fortunate to have found this club after having unsuccessfully played so many others.

School of Computing
Abstract: We consider pseudo-descent in the context of 2-fibrations. A 2-category of descent data is associated to a 3-truncated simplicial object in the base 2-category. A morphism q in the base induces (via comma-objects and pullbacks) an internal category whose truncated nerve allows the definition of the 2-category of descent data for q. When the 2-fibration admits direct images, we provide the analogous of the Beck-Benabou-Roubaud theorem, identifying the 2-category of descent data with that of pseudo-algebras for the pseudo-monad q*Σq. We introduce a notion of 2-regularity for a 2-category R, so that its basic 2-fibration of internal fibrations cod: Fib(R)→Radmits direct images. In this context, we show that essentially-surjective-on-objects morphisms, defined by a certain lax colimit, are of effective descent by means of a Beck-style pseudo-monadicity theorem.

I'd make them about half an inch narrower on each side. I also have a pretty old 15-R BB ocbd: while the collar is a bit too snug, the shoulders fit me OK. Now, would ordering a 15.5-32 solve my problem? In other words, does the body get smaller as the shoulder/sleeve size gets smaller, or do they just make the sleeve shorter? Thanks!

Since the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India-Pakistan relations have been frosty.
Thousands of people wrapped in flags marched in the frosty, smoky air.
The only frosty point came when West asked what sex the Royal Baby was – Harry's steely look left the question unanswered.
Fat headlines declared, "The Divorce Finalized Last Night," and the newspapers dwelled on the frosty atmosphere in court.
His relationship with Romney, a fellow Mormon and longtime acquaintance, can be charitably described as frosty.
He shivered in a little wind that blew under the rose vine with a frosty gust.
It has been clear and frosty for two nights, such a relief after all the rain.
Clear into the frosty night it rose, and I fell to wondering savagely with what thoughts Colliver saluted it.
Closer on the frosty air rang the dismal howling of the 41wolves.
The nature of its mechanism was hinted at only by a small, frosty wisp of steam or vapor up front.
A cold beer: how about a nice frosty

Washington DC (SPX) Feb 27, 2014
DARPA has invested in many programs that sponsor fundamental and applied research in areas of computer science, which have led to new advances in theory as well as practical software.
The R and D community has asked about the availability of results, and now DARPA has responded by creating the DARPA Open Catalog, a place for organizing and sharing those results in the form of software, publications, data and experimental details. The Catalog can be found at http://go.usa.gov/BDhY.
Many DoD and government research efforts and software procurements contain publicly releasable elements, including open source software.
The nature of open source software lends itself to collaboration where communities of developers augment initial products, build on each other's expertise, enable transparency for performance evaluation, and identify software vulnerabilities. DARPA has an open source strategy for areas of work including big data to help increase the impact of government investments in building a flexible technology base.
"Making our open source catalog available increases the number of experts who can help quickly develop relevant software for the government," said Chris White, DARPA program manager.
"Our hope is that the computer science community will test and evaluate elements of our software and afterward adopt them as either standalone offerings or as components of their products."
The initial offerings in the DARPA Open Catalog include software toolkits and peer-reviewed publications from the XDATA program in the agency's Information Innovation Office (I2O).
The partially funded toolkits are designed to encourage flexible development of software that may enable users of targeted defense applications to process large volumes of data in a timely manner to meet their mission requirements. DARPA is interested in building communities around government-funded software and research.
If the R and D community shows sufficient interest, DARPA will continue to make available information generated by DARPA programs, including software, publications, data and experimental results.
Future updates are scheduled to include components from other I2O programs such as Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) and Visual Media Reasoning (VMR).

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The location was great and close to downtown and transit. We could easily walk to most places from there. The price was hard to beat, especially for the location. The listing was somewhat misleading. They only have 1 or 2 beds in the room. 1 bed is for 1-2 people and 2 beds is for 3-4 people. The listing made it sound like it would have more beds in each room. I booked a room for 3 and it only had 2 beds. Still would have booked it, but set your expectations accordingly. Also, the bedding didn't seem like it was cleaned.
Fairly clean room There is no air conditioning and the room was the size of a walk in closet. 2 twin beds BARELY fit, there was no closet, and the shelves that were there barely held any of my things, forcing me to leave them on the dirty floor. No where near worth the $
The location was perfect for all we wanted to do in the city. We had a rented car and easily found parking in an overnight lot nearby.
I was originally supposed to stay several days. My trip changed and I only stayed one night. I wish it had been more. I was very impressed with everything about Kennsington Market House, especially the cleanliness of the place.
We booked 3 nights with them. When we reached the hotel it said "call no.xxxxxxx to get in". We called and called and called and no one answered. Finally we had to go back and find another place.
Absolutely nothing Everything. No staff. We luckily managed to check in but there was a bunch of brazilians who turned up at half 7 (half an hour before check in time) who couldn't get in. The whole place is a joke. If you want to drop your stuff off and get the hell out of there then you're fine. Otherwise you're screwed
Good location: Queen Street West on the street car line, clean facilities, good price, free parking, felt safe. AC was broken (in the part of the hotel where we stayed), way too hot, could not sleep, no windows in our room, their "free wifi" did not work except at the entrance to the hotel. Check in/check out process was confusing.
Staffs are really nice and helpful.
The kitchen facility was excellent. Rooms are small.
Good location, helpful staff, good sized rooms. Bathrooms were a little small.
There is no parking eventhough priceline says there is!
The staff was friendly. It felt like home rather than a hotel. Location was great as well! The entrance was a bit messy, could have been cleaner, but wasn't a bid deal.
The cleanliness and the staff. Also, the fact that is right next to a subway station which allows you to go downtown in a heartbeat. Their so called king size bed is to small beds put together with small mattress with a thin thermapuric king size foam on top which in the middle of the might you end up in the crack in between the beds.

S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g Public School Curriculum to Include Yoga
ASPEN, CO - Aspen Elementary School students in 1st through 4th grades have a new subject added to their curriculum this year: "Yoga Ed." On Sept. 9, the school board approved yoga lessons, supposedly to help students "relax" and adjust to the new school year. A controversy arose when some parents objected to the lessons on the ground that yoga is based on Hinduism and other eastern religions and therefore violates the so-called separation between church and state.
The objecting parents, including First Baptist Church of Aspen Pastor Steve Woodrow, insist that yoga is more than stretching and exercise, and that it cannot be separated from its religious roots. At a public meeting before the lessons won final approval, Woodrow pointed out a number of religious terms in the curriculum, including "mantra," "mandela" (a Buddhist spiritual term), and "meditation." The parents also objected to the use of non-teacher instructors who may view yoga lessons as "spiritual."
In addressing parents' con-cerns, Aspen School Superintendent Tom Farrell vowed that any and all religious references would be removed from the program, but Woodrow noted that this promise merely reinforced his contention that the program does indeed have religious content.
According to the Aspen Times (8-28-02), the yoga program was introduced to teachers last spring by its sponsor, the Aspen Center for New Medicine. Aspen School Principal Barb Pitchford stated that she and "a majority of the school staff liked the idea of alternatively calming and invigorating exercises for their charges."
The Aspen Center's website states that its mission is to focus "on the relation of mind and body and the ways in which emotional, mental, social and spiritual factors can affect the whole of human health." The in-school yoga program was created after an "expert yogi" visited the Center in February.
While the Center for New Medicine, the School District, and the American Yoga Association all insist that yoga is not religious and that it actually predates the Hindu religion "by many centuries," yoga has long been associated with ancient Hindu practices, and its ties to spirituality and meditation are difficult to dispute.
According to the Washington Post, yoga is "a multi-hundred-million-dollar business in America," claiming some 15 million adherents. The Post chronicled charges (8-27-02) by former yoga teacher Thom Birch that the practice "has become cutthroat and mafia-like." Birch asserted that many yoga practitioners "are the biggest thieves, bullies and sex addicts - all of it under this veil of spirituality."
High-profile instructors including Bikram Choudhury, the self-proclaimed "Guru of the Stars," have trademarked yoga poses and spiritual terms in order to collect fees for their use. Choudhury reportedly compares himself to Jesus and Buddha and claims he can cure diseases.
None of this is reassuring to the parents of Aspen Elementary School students who are allegedly being cured of their "rowdiness" with weekly yoga classes. Although an attorney for the Aspen Schools expressed confidence that the lessons don't violate the Constitution, Steve Woodrow and fellow parents expect the dispute will end up in court.
