Lunardi's responses aren't really surprising here, given he no longer has PC among the LAST EIGHT OUT.
Joe Lunardi Chat Friday Afternoon
jeremy compton(berkeley springs, WV) [via mobile]: With the obvious dominance of the big east teams (we 'could' have 3 #1 seeds but that won't happen) why not let Providence in? yes, they looked terrible against L'ville (oh that is right L'ville could easily walk away with a national title and may be the #1 team in the country) but I think they dominate or at least handle a Mich, Md, Kan…..should I go on? time to give props and the big east is IT in college basketball! If I am duke and given a #2 seed because I 'use' to be good. I am praying to any basketball god that will listen "PLEASE don't let WVU, SYC, Nova be in my bracket". because we are not good enough to beat them.
Joe Lunardi: Providence has had plenty of chances to earn an at-large bid. With one or two exceptions it has not gone their way. Doesn't have anything to do with being in the "it" conference.
Woh, first of all, this guy wrote all that from a mobile device? Man alive I hope he didn't use one of those crappy phones without a keypad, where you have to press 1 twice just to get a "B". Second of all, nice question!
Jimmy (Chesapeake, VA): Who is the best team who is going to miss out of the NCAA tournament and probably going to the NIT? Rhode Island, Davidson, Temple, or Providence?
Joe Lunardi: None of these, Eric, and certainly not Rhode Island or Providence. How about Arizona? Or Florida? Or UNLV? Or a potentially healthy Saint Mary's? Or Creighton?
Wait, so are you saying you like Providence? I'm not clear.
Chris (Providence): Any chance Providence gets in like Air Force did a few years ago?
Joe Lunardi: Always a chance, but this committee is smarter than that. Plus, Providence is way more qualified than Air Force in 2006
Ok fine.

It's clear that if any mobile OS is likely to be the easy target for hackers, it's Android, whose architecture is most like that of the desktop PC due to its openness, says Schouwenberg. "Android is forcing other OSes to be more open, which increases risk," adds Symantec's Nguyen.
It's also harder to protect Android devices than other devices, notes Julian. The reason: There are so many Android variants in use -- four versions of the OS itself, just as many UI overlays from device makers, and a variety of other customizations from both carriers and device makers -- that Google or the carriers couldn't quickly patch all the devices as, say, Apple can with its iOS devices.
The False Security of App Stores
Apple pioneered the concept of a vetted app store, and every other mobile platform maker has followed suit. It's well known that Apple reviews apps to ensure they conform to Apple's programming and even "decency" standards, and such review gives users the sense that Apple has filtered out malicious apps, says Julian.
That's a risky assumption for any app store, not just Apple's, Julian says. Reviewing all the apps line by line by security experts simply isn't possible given the thousands of apps that are submitted each month, and automated code analysis tools aren't yet up to snuff, he notes. Julian says that Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, and the rest will eventually be able to find the "obvious stuff," reducing the risk to everyone's benefit. But some malware will still get through.
Android users can make any vetting meaningless by disabling the OS's block on unsigned apps, a setting easily changed in the OS's Settings app. Some users disable the block so that they can install apps not available in the Android Market, such as apps not authorized for their specific device/carrier combination. Likewise, iOS devices jailbroken to allow unapproved apps undercut any security vetting by Apple in the App Store.
Theoretically, sandboxing would limit the damage of mobile malware. And it will, everyone interviewed for this article agreed. "It's good that people are building in isolation" via sandboxes, Juliuan says. But it's not a perfect defense. "You can Swiss-cheese a sandbox," notes EMA's Crawford, as you add mechanisms to allow apps to communicate with each other or share data.
The app most likely to have such holes punched in it is the browser, for which plug-ins add both capabilities and entry points for hackers, as Apple discovered in the PDF-jailbreak vulnerability, says Kaspersky's Schouwenberg. "That showed the limits of sandboxes."
Crawford notes the issue "wasn't the design of the browser itself, but how it's stretched -- through the extensions, helper objects, and plug-ins that open the doors where control is slight." He notes that users want such extensions, which are often developed by smaller companies and individual developers not necessarily well versed in application security, so mobile OS makers who wall off the browser are likely to get strong user pushback.
And the push to using HTML5 as a pan-mobile application development platform could increase the risk of the browser as a malware vector, he says, if the HTML5 apps were to rely on local helper apps. Web apps concern Crawford the most of all the potential mobile threats because "Web security is getting too little action today," despite the constant stream of reported exploits on the desktop.

Jennifer Lopez Mobbed By Fans In Brazil With Boyfriend Casper Smart In Tow (PHOTOS)
It was hard to miss the 42-year old actress as she rocked a very bright and tight neon dress paired with hot pink heels! When JLo walked off set, she was mobbed by fans who wanted a picture with her, she embraced them with open arms as she smiled and posed with the huge group.
Who was close by her side the whole time?
Her 24-year old beau Casper Smart! The backup dancer looked to be extremely happy and proud of his partner as he watched Jennifer from the audience while she taped the show. In a recent interview with Vogue, she said of her beau:
"He's adorable. But you already see that. He's a good egg."
The couple, who started dating last summer shortly after Jennifer's split with husband Marc Anthony, have been rumored recently to be tying the knot. A rep for the American Idol judge has denied the report. What do you think? Is this a fling or the real thing for Jennifer?

Measuring Women's Empowerment
Economics professor Caren Grown has spent her career working to understand the inherent connections between gender and economics. Currently on leave from AU as the senior gender advisor for the Bureau of Policy, Planning, and Learning at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Grown is integrating her research and experience on gender and economics with both general policy development and in specific areas.
Over the past year, Grown worked tirelessly to update USAID's Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy, a policy that hadn't been updated for nearly 30 years. The policy makes an evidence-based case that gender equality and women's empowerment are essential for better results in development. "Updating the policy institutionalizes the progress USAID has made over the years," she says. "But it also brings USAID to the forefront of development institutions, focused as it is on high impact partnerships, harnessing the power of innovation, and developing meaningful monitoring and program evaluation to deliver results."
Grown's perspective on gender and economics has been useful to other aspects of her work at USAID. "One of the first things I explain to my students," she says, "is that economic outcomes—income, wealth, access to education, etc.—differ systematically by gender; hierarchical gender systems influence the distribution of material resources and opportunities; and norms and stereotypes legitimate unequal access to the best jobs, wealth, and power." Understanding these differences is important for programs designed to stimulate economic growth and productivity. She has worked to infuse gendered economic analysis—what she teaches students in Gender Perspectives on Economic Analysis: Microeconomics—in the tools that USAID uses to help countries design development programming.
But of all of her achievements at USAID, Grown is perhaps most proud of her contribution to the creation of a new Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index. This new monitoring and evaluation tool benefited from the lessons learned through Grown's research, including most recently as co-principal investigator of the Gender Asset Gap Project, an ambitious project to collect information on the financial and physical assets owned by men and women and explore how asset ownership matters for empowerment and wellbeing.
With a grant from the Dutch government's MDG3 fund in 2009, Grown and colleagues in Ghana, Ecuador, and India embarked on a series of household surveys in those countries in order to understand the gender asset gaps. "This field work was absolutely invaluable," she says. "We worked to understand the differences between men and women when it came to ownership, access to, and control over land, housing, livestock, agriculture equipment, and financial assets." With the information they collected, Grown and her coauthors calculated various measures of the gender asset and wealth gaps in the three countries and are now examining how these gaps influence other wellbeing outcomes.
Grown's colleagues at USAID had been planning a new monitoring tool for measuring the impact of the Feed the Future Initiative, the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative. When they learned that Grown had joined USAID, they engaged her as part of the team, and together with colleagues at USAID, the International Food Policy Research Institute, and Oxford University's Poverty and Human Development Initiative, they created the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEIA), a unique, rigorous, yet practical method for tracking the empowerment and inclusion of women in the agriculture sector.
The WEAI focuses on five areas: decisions over agricultural production, power over productive resources such as land and livestock, decisions over income, leadership in the community, and time use. Women are considered to be empowered when they meet the requirements in some combination amounting to four of the five areas. By asking women and men the same survey questions, the Index also shows the empowerment of women compared with men in the same household.
Launched at the United Nations during the Commission on the Status of Women meetings in March 2012, it will be used to monitor Feed the Future investments in 19 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and hopes are to scale it up elsewhere. The prospects are good: the Index has attracted the interest of many other international institutions, including the FAO, the International Fund for Agriculture Development, and the World Bank.
"The surveys that we designed to collect the data for the index are pioneering in several ways," says Grown. "First, we move away from the problematic notion of household headship and collect information from a principal male and a principal female within households. Second, the index attempts to measure empowerment directly, and not through proxies like education or income. And, third, the index can really be used as a monitoring tool in programs on the ground in different country contexts." Grown hopes the index will help USAID and other organizations understand how best to empower women through agriculture. "Fundamentally, what we want to know is whether or not our investments are enabling women to benefit from our investments and participate in the growth of the agriculture sector," she explains.
Grown's work promises to bring a true understanding of gender and economics to USAID and to the development community in general through her drive and passion for enabling those with the ability to make change to understand the situation as it is and how best to improve it. But Grown also mentions how thankful she is for the opportunity to engage AU students in this effort. Two of Grown's economics PhD students, Marya Hillesland and Greg Seymour, aided in the development of the WEIA through research opportunities at IFPRI. "Our students' contribution to the development of the index has been one of the most satisfying aspects of this project," says Grown.

Undeclared war
The poverty trap
Poverty is a world of darkness, where every day is a struggle to survive. The poor are the majority in nearly one of every five nations in the world. In rich countries, they are increasingly concentrated in minority communities. They endure lives of hunger, malnutrition and illness and are denied their right to education, to receive good health care, to have access to safe water and sanitation and to be protected from harm.
The number of people living in poverty continues to grow as globalization - one of the 20th century's most powerful economic phenomena - proceeds along its inherently asymmetrical course: expanding markets across national boundaries and increasing the incomes of a relative few while further strangling the lives of those without the resources to be investors or the capabilities to benefit from the global culture. The majority are women and children, poor before, but even more so now, as the two-tiered world economy widens the gaps between rich and poor countries and between rich and poor people.
To be a girl born into poverty is to endure discrimination many times over in pervasive and insidious patterns. From the moment of girls' conception, their rights are in peril. There may be as many as 60 million 'missing women' in the world who, except for the gender discrimination that starts before they are born and continues throughout their lives, would be alive today.1
Although discrimination against girls and women is found on every continent of the world, for the sheer scale of its population and the cultural strictures against gender and class, few regions compare with South Asia, where every year millions of girls are born into poverty, debt servitude and dehumanizing birth castes. Poor pregnant women, worried about the future dowry costs of a daughter, increasingly seek the services of travelling 'sonogram doctors', and female foeticide has been reported in 27 of India's 32 states. In some communities of Bihar and Rajasthan, birth ratios, naturally expected to be 100 females for every 103 males, are dramatically lower at 60 females for every 100 males.2
Caste poverty persists throughout the vast region, defying the laws that prohibit its practice and stripping well over 160 million people in India alone of their rights4. A particularly cruel burden falls on the children, as parents take out meagre loans in exchange for consigning or selling a child to a factory or plantation owner. An estimated 20 million, and perhaps as many as 40 million, girls and boys in South Asia toil in this debt servitude,5 hunched over looms, making bricks, or rolling cigarettes by hand. Countless others spend their childhood and adolescence in domestic servitude, sweeping floors and scrubbing pots and pans.
It is disturbing to imagine what awaits a child of six when his parents place him in debt bondage in exchange for a loan for seed or shelter. It is almost unfathomable to think of a girl from the Nepalese mountains who, sold by her impoverished parents to an agent offering employment in a carpet factory, instead finds herself in a windowless room in Calcutta or Mumbai with other girls, forced to have sex with as many as two dozen adult clients a day. Like the debt-trapped countries in which they live, the children rarely succeed in paying off their parents' debts, even after 10 or 12 years, and they perpetuate their families' servitude by handing it down to a younger sibling or to their own offspring.6

A Green Global Community
Our planet is green. In order to keep it that way, it is more important than ever to bring an eco-friendly mindset into whatever we do. We, as individuals, and as a graphic design agency, are proud to be part of a global creative community that understands the importance of making changes on both a large and a small scale.
Reducing an item's impact on the environment is a growing concern for consumers and companies alike. This concern is imperative to the design industry and needs to be applied to everyday decision-making. MSLK is no exception.
As an agency that creates materials for public consumption, we consider it our responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and diminish our impact on the environment. Because of this, MSLK approaches every project as an opportunity to be sustainable and green.
Eco-friendly graphic design should be a holistic approach and send a unified message across varied media. MSLK's strength is our ability to integrate sustainability into every aspect of your brand positioning, whether it be overall branding, packaging, web design, signage or beyond.
Green Graphic Design is Holistic
Green branding should tell your socially conscious story — whether it involves sustainable green processes, recycled content, fair trade, or local production. MSLK's strategic brand development process leverages your green identity and translates that into eco-friendly graphic design solutions.
From green branding materials to packaging, we are firm believers that less is more, and are committed to streamlining materials in an effort to reduce waste. Our consideration of a product's entire lifecycle allows us to deliver beautiful, green solutions that are in harmony with nature and your marketing objectives. To create entirely green graphic design solutions we reduce, repurpose, and utilize recycled and recyclable materials. We also consider emerging biomaterials such as plastic alternatives and soy inks, and partner with local vendors and manufacturers who share our ecological ideals. In addition, we alsways focus on the end of a product's lifecycle and strive to create items that encourage recipients to hold onto our design solutions, avoiding the trash can whenever possible.
Your green story can also be extended to the online environment. Not only is a website a paperless, eco-friendly marketing tool, it also serves as an opportunity to educate your audience about your company. MSLK's approach to strategic web design produces fresh, interactive, and engaging websites that keep visitors coming back, building brand loyalty.
Designers with a Passion for the Planet
On a personal level, eco-friendly initiatives are something our design agency holds close to our heart. As a reinforcement of our personal commitment to green living, MSLK's office is 100% wind powered and we utilize internal energy consumption solutions. We strive to be a paperless office, reuse our waste, and create our own promotions out of out of repurposed material. In addition, we support and promote green causes on our blog, and create awareness with initiatives such as Urban Tumbleweeds, an educational art installation. Furthermore, a portion of our profits is donated to the New York Restoration Project, and several of us serve as members in green graphic design organizations such as Designs Accord and Design Can Change. Most notably, Sheri L. Koetting, the principal and co-founder of MSLK, sits on the national board for the AIGA Center for Sustainable Design.
We are committed to integrating this green lifestyle in our work and applying it to all facets of marketing and design challenges we take on. While we always strive to make a big impact with your promotions, we certainly don't want that impact to be a on the environment. We look forward to helping you meet your green graphic design needs. No matter what your ambition, we have the sustainable solution to meet it.

1. This Civil Revision Application is preferred by the petitioner M/s.Parle Products Limited against the judgment and order dated 30.8.1999 passed by the learned Civil Judge in Special Civil Suit No. 39 of 1999 below Exh.9.
Original plaintiff Shri Jaydev F. Bombaywala (present respondent) filed the said Special Civil Suit on the allegation that the present petitioner has illegally and unilaterally terminated the agreement of wholesalership entered into by and between the parties and as a consequence of such termination of contract, the respondent hereto has allegedly suffered the damages. The present petitioner in the aforementioned suit has moved the application under Order VII Rule 10 of the Civil Procedure Code insisting that the Courts in Bombay only will have jurisdiction to entertain the dispute relating or arising out of wholesalership agreement dated 1.1.1976, the breach whereof is alleged. It is further insisted that the suit is filed on the basis of the said agreement entered into by and between the parties and the jurisdiction of the Courts other than that of the Bombay Court has been ousted as is permissible under the law.
2. Mr.
D.C. Dave, learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently submitted that there is an agreement in existence between the parties specifying ouster of the jurisdiction of all other Courts than the Courts specified in the agreement and therefore, the parties should be compelled by the Court to abide by such an agreement. He further submitted that when ouster clause is clear, unambiguous and specific, accepted notion of the contract must bind the parties and unless the absence of ad idem can be shown, other Courts should avoid exercising the jurisdiction. He further insisted that respondent is not likely to be prejudiced in any manner and non-implementation of the agreement will put a death knell to the objective of ouster. It is further argued by the learned counsel that the issue whether the jurisdiction is created or confined could be addressed by the Court without recording evidence and, therefore, it was outrightly erroneous on the part of the learned Judge not to give effect to the specific clause contained in the agreement. He insisted on the exercise of powers of revision under Section 115 of the Civil Procedure Code as according to him the failure to exercise the same would amount to miscarriage of justice. He has taken this Court to the clause 10 of the said agreement which runs as follows:-
10. Jurisdiction: All accounts will be made and settled in Bombay & Wholesaler shall make payment to the Company in Bombay. All legal proceedings in respect of any dispute or matter relating to or arising out of this agreement shall be taken only in the Courts having jurisdiction in Bombay."
Reliance is placed by counsel Mr.Dave on following judgments:-
Laminart Pvt. Ltd. and another vs. A.P. Agencies, Salem reported in AIR 1989 SC 1239.
2. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. vs. M/s. Pragat Gas Service and anr. reported in 1993(1) G.L.H. 1004.
3. Cholamandalam Investments & Finance Co. Pvt. Ltd. vs. Radhika Synthetics and another reported in AIR 1996 SC 1098.
4. M/s.

5. Balaji Coke Industry Private Limited vs. MAA Bhagwati Coke Gujarat Private Limited reported in (2009) 9 SCC 403.
3. Shri Kunal Shah learned advocate for the respondent argued that it was with mala fide intention that the contract has been terminated by the present petitioner and the loss of business on account of the said mala fide act on the part of the present petitioner resulted into damages. He has also submitted that there is no justification in exercising powers under Section 115 of the Civil Procedure Code as this Court is not to substitute its discretion in place of that of the trial Court.
4. Dwelling in the case laws at the outset;
1) In A.B.C. Laminart Pvt. Ltd. and another vs. A.P. Agencies, Salem (supra), ratio laid down is reproduced hereinafter:-
" Where there may be two or more competent Courts which can entertain a suit consequent upon a part of the cause of action having arisen therewithin, if the parties to the contract agreed to vest jurisdiction in one such court to try the dispute which might arise as between themselves the agreement would be valid. If such a contract is clear, unambiguous and explicit and not vague it is not hit by Sec.23 and 28 of the Contract Act. This cannot be understood as parties contracting against the Statute. Mercantile Law and practice permit such an agreement."
" Where the clause under which it was claimed that there was ouster of jurisdiction of Courts only stated that any dispute arising out of sale would be subject to jurisdiction of Court within whose jurisdiction order was placed but there were no exclusive words like 'exclusive', 'alone', 'only' and the like, other jurisdictions having connecting factors were not clearly, unambiguously and explicitly excluded. "
"18. In Hakam Singh v. M/s. Gammon (India) Ltd., (1971) 3 SCR 314: (AIR 1971 SC 740) the appellant agreed to do certain construction work for the respondent who had its principal place of business at Bombay on the terms of conditions of a written tender. Clause 12 of the tender provided for arbitration in case of dispute. Clause 13 provided that notwithstanding the place where the work under the contract was to be executed the contract shall be deemed to have been entered into by the parties at Bombay, and the Court in Bombay alone shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate upon. On dispute arising between the parties the appellant submitted a petition to the Court at Varanasi for an order under Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 that the agreement be filed and an order of reference be made to an arbitrator or arbitrators appointed by the Court. The respondent contended that in view of the Clause 13 of the arbitration agreement only the Courts at Bombay had jurisdiction. The Trial Court also held that the entire cause of action had arisen at Varanasi and the parties could not by agreement confer jurisdiction on the Courts possess. The High Court in revision held that the Courts at Bombay had jurisdiction under the general law and hence could entertain the petition and that in view of Clause 13 of the arbitration agreement the petition could not be entertained at Varanasi and directed the petition to be returned for presentation to the proper Court. On appeal therefrom one of the questions that fell for consideration of this Court was whether the Courts at Bombay alone had jurisdiction over the dispute. It was held that the Code of Civil Procedure in its entirety applied to proceedings under the Arbitration Act by virtue of Section 41 of that Act. The jurisdiction of the Court under the Arbitration Act to entertain a proceeding for filing an award was accordingly governed by the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. By the terms of Section 20(a) of the Code of Civil Procedure read with explanation II thereto the respondent company which had its principal place of business at Bombay was liable to be sued at Bombay. It was held that it was not open to the parties to agreement to confer by their agreement jurisdiction on a Court which it did not possess under the Code. But where two Courts or more have under the Code of Civil Procedure jurisdiction to try suit or proceeding an agreement between the parties that the dispute between them shall be tried in one of such Courts was not contrary to public policy and such an agreement did not contravene Section 28 of the Contract Act. Though this case arose out of an arbitration agreement there is no reason why the same rule should not apply to other agreements in so far as jurisdiction is concerned. Without referring to this decision a Division Bench of the Madras High Court in Nanak Chand v. T.T. Electric Supply Co., AIR 1975 Mad 103 observed that competency of a Court to try an action goes to the root of the matter and when such competency is not found, it has no jurisdiction at all to try the case. But objection based on jurisdiction is a matter which parties could waive and it is in this sense if such jurisdiction is exercised by Courts it does not go to the core of it so as to make the resultant judgment a nullity. Thus it is now a settled principle that where there may be two or more competent Courts which can entertain a suit consequent upon a part of the cause of action having arisen therewithin, if the parties to the contract agreed to vest jurisdiction in one such court to try the dispute which might arise as between themselves the agreement would be valid. If such a contract is clear, unambiguous and explicit and not vague it is not hit by Ss. 23 and 28 of the Contract Act. This cannot be understood as parties contracting against the Statute. Mercantile Law and practice permit such agreements.
22. Coming to Clause 11 we already found that this clause was included in the general terms and conditions of sale and the order of confirmation No.68/59 dated 2-10-1974 with the general terms and conditions was sent from Udyognagar, Mohmadabad, Gujarat to the respondent's address at 12 Suramangalam Road Salem,Tamil Nadu. The statement made in the Special Leave Petition that Udyognagar, Mohamadabad, Gujarat of Kaira has not been controverted. We have already seen that making of the contract was a part of the cause of action and a suit on a contract therefore could be filed at the place where it was made. Thus Kaira court would even otherwise have had jurisdiction. The bobbins of metallic yarn were delivered at the address of the respondent at Salem which, therefore, would provide the connecting factor for Court at Salem to have jurisdiction. If out of the two jurisdictions one was excluded by Clause 11 it would not absolutely oust the jurisdiction of the Court and, therefore, would not be void against public policy and would not violate Sections 23 and 28 of the Contract Act. The question then is whether it can be construed to have excluded the jurisdiction of the Court at Salem. In the clause ' any dispute arising out of this sales shall be subject to Kaira jurisdiction' ex facie we do not find exclusive words like 'exclusive.'alone', 'only' and the like. Can the maxim ' expressio unius est exclusio alterius' be applied under the facts and circumstances of the case? The order of confirmation is of no assistance. The other general terms and conditions are also not indicative of exclusion of other jurisdictions. Under the facts and circumstances of the case we hold that while connecting factor with Kaira jurisdiction was ensured by fixing the situs of the contract within Kaira, other jurisdictions having connecting factors were not clearly, unambiguously and explicitly excluded. That being the position it could not be said that the jurisdiction of the court at Salem which Court otherwise had jurisdiction under law through connecting factor of delivery of goods thereat was expressly excluded. We accordingly find no error or infirmity in the impugned judgment of the High Court."
2) In the case of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. vs. M/s. Pragat Gas Service and anr.(supra), it is held as under:-
According to the Supreme Court in the decision in AIR 1989 SC 1239 when a clause in a contract is clear, unambiguous or specific and the words like 'alone', 'only', 'exclusive', etc. are used, it would bind the parties unless the absence of ad idem is shown. Even in absence of such words, looking to the surrounding circumstances, the Court may hold the agreement to be binding to the parties"
"11. Mr.
Shelat, however, submitted that in all those cases, the proceedings were initiated either by a third party or by the person who felt aggrieved by such agreement and was of the opinion that gross injustice was meted out to him and the contention was taken by the other side that the Court had no jurisdiction to entertain the suit in view of the agreement of the parties. In the light of the facts and circumstances, in those cases, this Court held that notwithstanding an agreement, the Court may grant relief in favour of the plaintiff. According to Mr. Shelat, in the instant case, it does not lie in the mouth of the appellant Corporation to ignore Clause 36 and to invoke jurisdiction of Baroda Court. He submitted that the defendants were doing business at Baroda. It was the plaintiff- Corporation whose Head Office is at Bombay entered into an agreement with the defendants and they were compelled to sign such agreement, if they were interested in dealership/ distributorship. He further submitted that the clause was specific and unambiguous and explicitly clear. In such cases, the Courts have taken a view that if the agreement is not hit by the provisions of Section 28 of the Contract Act, only that Court would decide the matter which has been agreed to by the parties to the contract. A number of decisions have been cited before me. However, I intend to refer only two decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Globe Transport Corporation v. Triveni Engg. Works, reported in 1984 GLH 63 (SC) and A. B.C. Laminart Pvt. Ltd. v. A.P. Agencies, Salem reported in AIR 1989 SC 1239. Again, it is pertinent to note that in both the cases, the matters reached to the Supreme Court only at preliminary stage. In the former case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that if the parties by agreement opted for jurisdiction of a particular Court excluding other Courts and if that Court had jurisdiction, such an agreement would be legal and valid and must be given effect to. in the latter case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had made the position much more clear. Referring to a number of cases, the Supreme Court observed in para 21 as under:
From the foregoing decisions it can be reasonably deduced that where such an ouster clause occurs, it is pertinent to see whether there is ouster of jurisdiction of other Courts. When the clause is clear, unambiguous and specific accepted notions of contract would bind the parties and unless the absence of ad idem can be shown, the other Courts should avoid exercising jurisdiction.
As regards construction of the quarter clause when words like "alone", "only", "exclusive" and the like have been used there may be no difficulty. Even without such words in appropriate cases the maxim expressio unius est exclusio alterius -
expression of one is the exclusion of another may be applied. What is an appropriate case shall depend on the facts of the case. In such a case mention of one thing may imply exclusion of another. When certain jurisdiction is specified in a contract an intention to exclude all other from its operation may in such cases be inferred. It has, therefore, to be properly construed." (Emphasis supplied.) Looking to the above observations and particularly the italicised portion, it becomes clear that according to the Supreme Court, when a clause in a contract is clear, unambiguous or specific and the words like 'alone', 'only', 'exclusive', etc. are used, it would bind the parties unless the absence of ad idem is shown. Even in absence of such words, looking to the surrounding circumstances, the Court may hold the agreement to be binding to the parties. In that case, the agreement entered into between the parties contained a clause ' any dispute arising out of this sale shall be subject to Kaira Jurisdiction'. The Supreme Court observed that though ex facie, there was no exclusionary words like 'exclusive', 'alone', 'only' and the like, the intention of the parties was to confer jurisdiction to Kaira Court alone. In these circumstances, jurisdiction of Salem Court was excluded"
3) In the case of Cholamandalam Investments & Finance Co. Pvt. Ltd. vs. Radhika Synthetics (supra), it is held as under:-
"6. It is settled law that where two Courts have jurisdiction to adjudicate upon any dispute, the parties by a contract can submit on the jurisdiction of one and exclude the jurisdiction of the other. In that view, it appears that the parties are bound to submit to the jurisdiction of the High Court of Madras."
4) In the case of M/s. Angile Insulations vs. M/s. Davy Ashmore India Ltd (supra), it was held as under:-
this Court laid that where there may be two or more competent courts which can entertain a suit consequent upon a part of the cause of action having arisen therwith, if the parties to the contract agreed to vest jurisdiction in one such court to try the dispute which might arise as between themselves, the agreement would be valid. If such a contract is clear, unambiguous and explicit and not vague, it is not hit by Ss.23 and 28 of the Contract Act. This cannot be under stood as parties contracting against the statute. Mercantile law and practice permit such agreements."
5) In the case of Balaji Coke Industry Private Limited vs. MAA Bhagwati Coke Gujarat Private Limited (supra), the case of A. B.C. Laminart Pvt. Ltd. v. A.P. Agencies, Salem (Supra) is reiterated.
5. Thus the ratio laid down in all the aforementioned judgments, it is explicitly made clear that the parties cannot create or confer the jurisdiction if there is none but can certainly confine the same, provided there is a clear, unambiguous and specific ouster clause in the agreement entered into by and between the parties. And, unless the absence of ad idem can be shown, other Courts can be precluded from exercising the jurisdiction.
6. The short question in the said premise therefore before this Court in this revision is as to whether the issue of jurisdiction is so clear that there would arise a need to interfere with the order in Special Civil Suit below Exh.9.
7. The Special Civil Suit preferred by the present respondent arises out of the agreement of wholesalership, which allegedly has been terminated by the petitioner illegally and unilaterally. The tenor of plaint if is looked at, all the averments made therein are emerging from the said alleged breach of contract. The respondent (original plaintiff ) has insisted in the reply filed in the Special Suit as to how Court at Bharuch also has jurisdiction and the only defence that has been taken is of unilateral covenant or the standard form of contract where his signature is obtained allegedly under the influence of obtaining wholesalership. Undoubtedly, the Court at Bharuch may also have jurisdiction, considering other facts pleaded in the plaint on the jurisdiction of the Court, in the instant case, clause 10 of the said agreement, reproduced hereinabove, clinches the issue which restricts the jurisdiction as the parties have agreed to ouster the jurisdiction of all other Courts than that of Courts in Bombay, suffixing the same with the word" only" and has ruled in A. B.C. Laminart Pvt. Ltd. v. A.P. Agencies, Salem (supra). With this exclusive word jurisdiction of other Courts appears to be clearly, unambiguously and explicitly excluded and, therefore, this is a fit case for interfering in the revision setting aside the order of trial Court below Exh.9.
8. Consequently, the plaint should be returned to the respondent (original plaintiff) for presenting it before the appropriate Court within a stipulated period as provided under the law. Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. Rule is made absolute to the above extent.
Sonia Gokani, J. ) Learned advocate Mr. Kunal Shah, at this stage, has requested the Court that the point of limitation may not come in the way of original plaintiff to which the other side has ensured not to raise any objection and even otherwise as the Special Civil Suit was stayed by virtue of the order of the High Court, the original plaintiff is entitled to the legal remedy as provided under the law and, therefore, there may not require any other specific order on that aspect.

Topic 1. Pharmacogenetics of Irinotecan: Scientific and Clinical Impact of UGT Polymorphism
Camptosar (Irinotecan hydrochloride injection)
received accelerated approval on
The most clinically significant adverse events for patients receiving irinotecan-based therapy were diarrhea, neutropenia, nausea, vomiting and alopecia. Irinotecan can induce both early and late forms of diarrhea and requires dose adjustment based on severity of diarrhea. Sepsis related death following severe neutropenia is reported in irinotecan treated patients. Dose adjustment based on neutrophil count is recommend in the label.
Pharmacokinetic studies of irinotecan have shown large inter-individual variability of SN-38 exposure (AUC). SN-38 is an active metabolite of irinotecan and is responsible for the pharmacological and toxic effect of irinotecan. SN-38 is glucuronidated by Uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl transferase enzymes (UGT), predominantly by UGT1A1 isoenzyme. UGT1A1 is a polymorphic enzyme. The TA repeats (5, 6, 7, or 8) in the TATA box of the UGT1A1 promoter region is inversely correlated with gene transcription efficiency and overall enzyme activity. The presence of seven repeats (TA7) compared to the normal genotype of six (TA6) repeats results in the variant allele UGT1A1*28. This allele is associated with reduced gene expression and reduced glucuronidation in human liver microsomes. Approximately 10% of the North American population carry the two deficient alleles (homozygous). In the European population1, the allele frequencies for TA6 and TA7 are 0.613 and 0.387.
A prospective study2 of 66 patients receiving 350 mg/m2 every 3 weeks showed homozygous TA7 genotype patients had a relative risk of 9.3 (95% CI, 2.4 to 36.4) for grade 4 neutropenia. Fifty percent (3 out of 6) of the homozygous TA7 patients had grade 4 neutropenia compared to 12.5% heterozygous TA6/7 patients (3 out of 24). No patients with the normal TA6 genotype (0 out of 29) had any grade 4 neutropenia. SN-38 exposure directly correlated with the UGT1A1 genotype (mean"S.D: 542 " 195, 458 " 380, and 336 " 168 ng*h/mL for TA7 homozygous, TA6/7 heterozygous, and normal genotype). UGT1A1*28 genotype is associated with 1.8 to 3.9-fold lower SN-38 glucuronidation compared to patients with normal genotype. Pretreatment total bilirubin levels which is also glucuronidated by UGT1A1 was significantly higher in patients with grade 4 neutropenia compared to those without grade 4 neutropenia. The prevalence of grade 3 diarrhea was only 5% (N=3) and none of the patients with diarrhea was TA6 genotype. In another study3 patients receiving combination regimen of irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil, 5 out of 7 patients (71%) with homozygous TA7 genotype had grade 3 or 4 neutropenia compared to 10% patients (3 out of 31) with normal alleles. The study did not assess the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan. The occurrence of grade 4 diarrhea was not significantly different in TA7, TA6/7, and TA6/6 patients. Irinotecan courses had to be postponed in 70% (5 of 7) TA7 patients compared to 32% (10 of 31) TA6/6 patients.
Marcuello4 et al. reported 40% (4 of 10) colorectal cancer patients with TA7 genotype receiving irinotecan based therapy had grade 3 or 4 neutropenia compared to 15% patients with normal alleles (6 or 40). This study also reported 70% (7 of 10) TA7 patients suffered grade 3 or 4 diarrhea compared to 17% (7 of 40) patients with normal alleles. Doses of irinotecan administered in TA7 patients were 1398 mg/m2 compared to TA6 patients receiving 1725 mg/m2 dose.
In a Phase 2 study5, weekly regimen of irinotecan/docetaxel in previously treated non-small cell lung cancer patients (N= 51) did not show any correlation between UGT1A1 genotype and toxicity. The incidences of grade 3 and 4 hematologic toxicity and diarrhea were 10% and 25%, respectively.
A small prospective pilot study6 of 20 patients and a retrospective analysis7 of 118 patients also indicated a higher risk for neutropenia for TA7 homozygous genotype patients.
Agency appreciates the Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee's advice on the scientific and clinical
perspectives of the information regarding the association between irinotecan
toxicity and UGT1A1*28.

|Re: Verifying that a call goes to a PSAP Was Re: [Ecrit] Signed LoST mappings

Matt Looking at this example topology Alice--INVITE-->Proxy1-->Proxy2-->ESRP/ESInet-->EmSvcsProxy-->PSAP Alice<--Proxy1<--Proxy2<--ESRP/ESInet<--EmSvcsProxy<--200OK--PSAPQ#1 - Where is this 200 OK important in your context (for verifying intended destination)?
Q#2 - Why is this important at this point in the topology?Q#3 - What do you expect the SIP element to do with any indication you are creating here?
Little new can be between Alice and the ESRP, as we're attempting to create a solution with the LEAST amount of changes to SIP --> because the more changes there are, the more complicated the solution is, the less likely it will be implemented right --> which is the goal, right?
The ESRP should be a B2BUA or SBC, so changes behind it towards the PSAP call taker's UA need to highlighted as only being in that part of the topology.
We cannot expect COTS SIP products to do too much, yet I don't believe COTS SIP equipment will be used at the ESRP or between it and the PSAP.

From the original newspaper report:
Tonya Ann Fowler called 911 after seeing herself on the cover of Bad & Busted, according to police reports, and said she was unhappy with the photograph.
This was Fowler's second call to Barrow County [Georgia] 911. Her first was a request for someone to house her personal affects as she was being evicted from her current living quarters.
As a result of the 911 call about her mug shot, Fowler was afforded the opportunity to pose for a fresh booking photo since she was charged with unlawful use of 911 and disorderly conduct.

Sao Paulo (AFP) Jan 17, 2013
Former military officers are countering accounts of abuses during Brazil's 1964-1985 dictatorship with a new, briskly selling book that takes aim at President Dilma Rousseff, a former guerrilla who underwent torture.
"Orvil: Attempted Power Grabs" is going into a second printing after a 3,000 copy first run that initially sold in only four book stores and military clubs and circles in 14 cities, the daily Estado de Sao Paulo reported Thursday.
Written by former army intelligence officers, the 943-page tome is intended as a rejoinder to Rousseff's creation of a seven-member Truth Commission.
Rousseff, who was jailed for nearly three years by the military in the 1970's and tortured as a member of a banned leftist group, swore in the panel last May.
Tasked with probing rights abuses perpetrated from 1946 to 1988, the commission is notably investigating the disappearance of leftist opponents of the dictatorship.
The perpetrators are protected by an amnesty law upheld by the Supreme Court in 2010.
In the book's foreword, retired General Geraldo Luiz Nery da Silva gives vent to the military's anger over the probe.
"The revenge-seeking leftists rulers, not satisfied with the serious monetary restrictions imposed on the armed forces and with the discriminatory treatment inflicted on the military in all its aspects, mainly financial, had the nerve to create, with congressional backing, what they called the 'Truth Commission.'"
The book is authored by retired lieutenant-colonel Jose Conegundes do Nascimento. Some 30 other officers also contributed by refused to be identified.
"Orvil" -- the title is the Portuguese word for book spelled backwards -- describes the 1964 military coup that toppled then leftist president Joao Goulart.
It also details the activities of armed groups that fought the military regime from 1966 to 1975, and mentions the 64-year-old Rousseff three times.
"Learn about the subversive and terrorist groups and their leaders. Learn about the truth told by members of the intelligence community. Discover the truth which those in power do not want Brazil to know," the authors wrote.
The Brazilian government officially recognizes 400 dead and missing during the military dictatorship, compared with 30,000 in Argentina and more than 3,200 in Chile.
Unlike other South American countries ruled by right-wing dictatorships that committed political abuses and killings from the 1960s to the 1980s -- Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile -- Brazil has never put the perpetrators on trial.
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights in November 2010 dismissed Brazil's amnesty law as legally invalid, saying it was incompatible with the American Convention on Human Rights.

Dater X: Are We Really Talking About Sex Before Our First Date?
This past week, I got a bunch of messages on OKCupid. Some of the guys I'd never consider because I tend to avoid men who tell me they prefer to "stay home on most Friday nights and read poetry with a good glass of single malt." Others seemed too old for me… and that's not even including the scotch sippers. Out of the eight messages I received, there were two contenders that seemed datable.
Both were seemingly nice guys — attractive with ambition and wit. Hot Doctor is just finishing up med school and has a smile that would charm the knickers off grandma. The other guy, whom I've dubbed Sensitive Frat Bro, is a sweet entrepreneur who could just as easily be wearing a toga and chugging a beer on a Phi Kappa Tau recruitment poster. Eligible bachelors on free dating websites (and in life) are pretty hard to come by, so I decided to message them back. After talking to both of my suitors (one on Gchat and the other on OKCupid instant messenger) for several days in a row about things like family, hobbies, and careers, they both brought up the topic of sex.
As I'm sure you can tell about me, I'm a pretty open person when it comes to my sex life. I don't usually have a problem discussing my likes and dislikes or my past experiences. I've come across a bunch of guys online who've messaged me and, off the bat, said things like "We should fuck!" or "Are you into threesomes?" I ignore those guys, natch. But these two guys, who both seem to have their shit together enough, took me by surprise when they ventured into no man's land before we'd even met in person.
At the end of one of our hour-long chats, Hot Doctor asked me what my "sexual personality" was like, explaining that he only asked because he wants to make sure the person he ends up with is on the same page as him when it comes to "the physical stuff," as well as the emotional stuff. He went on:
"I am looking for someone who is fun and outgoing, who is able to keep up with a Scorpio. My ex was very shy, insecure and reserved, even in private, and since I love doing certain things in a relationship and want the girl to enjoy them, I like a girl who is open and able to do the same sexually and romantically. Do you think you'd be able to handle that?"
I responded by telling him that I was slightly taken back by his question, but that I also have a personality similar to his. I kept things light and told him that I've never had complaints in the past, and that I'm open and adventurous if I'm comfortable enough with the person.
He replied:
"Good to hear. I think a woman needs to have somewhat of a wild side (nothing like that 50 Shades of Grey book though lol). My sex drive is high and I can't get enough of it when I'm with someone I care about. I'm also a giver. A big, big giver. I love giving to the girl I'm with and I want my partner to have the same sexual appetite."
Initially, that weirded me out. I'm not too shy to talk about oral sex, but that kind of conversation is usually embargoed 'til things are more serious. And unlike a lot of the creepers who reach out to me, Hot Doctor seemed to think of it as a valid discussion point— a genuine variable that could affect a partnership. It didn't feel like he was being disrespectful. I could have done without knowing he's The Cunnilingus King of the dating world before even knowing his last name. But then again, if I had a low libido, I would know right off the bat that we wouldn't be sexually compatible, and things likely wouldn't work out between us. But I happen to have a high sex drive, so his questioning may have actually served a purpose for both of us. Also, who turns down oral sex? Not this gal.
And then there's tall, dark and handsome Sensitive Frat Bro. Much like Hot Doctor, I was talking to Sensitive Frat Bro for a couple of days when he asked me if I'm "sexual by nature" (not to be confused with hip-hop trio, Naughty By Nature). I told him yes, I was, and he proceeded to ask me how often I would ideally want to have sex in a relationship.
"Thirty-five times a week," I replied. I was just kidding. I quite enjoy my ability to walk. For real, I told him that, I have trouble keeping my hands off the other person when I'm really into him. I'd be happy with sex five times a week, depending on the week. I could want it more, I could want it less.
So I answered both of them — honestly enough. But I still worry that guys who ask me about sex before we've even gone on a first date are only interested in sleeping with me. I can't help but automatically assume they're not looking for something serious. If I choose engage in sex talk before we've met, will they think I'm easy? I don't want my dates to get the wrong impression of me just because I'm answering them honestly. Not to mention, knowing all of the ins and outs of the other person's sexual habits before you've met might spoil the "getting to know you" process. When I'm having a first drink with someone, I want him to be paying attention to what I have to say, not staring off, thinking about how he wants to take me home and tie me to my headboard. I want to be appreciated and liked for my personality, not for my bedroom habits. On the other hand, I can't help but respect that these men are being upfront. I know that these guys, like every other single person out there, are simply trying to find their perfect match. And let's face it, sexual compatibility plays a big part in long term relationships.
As much as I want to be courted in a traditional fashion— dates, dinners and holding off on the sex talk until it's actually time for sex— there's nothing traditional about online dating. Each profile is there to offer you a take it or leave it option. Because sex is such a personal topic to discuss before actually meeting face-to-face, do I write off the men who ask me about it or should I just take their questions with a grain of salt, as I would if they were asking me about my favorite football team?
The Giants. Always the Giants.

Isuzu i290 Pickup Questions
Get answers to questions about your Isuzu i290 Pickup at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
Front seal leak in my 2.9 liter engine Lucas Oil within 2 days. Vehicle only has 82800 miles
it happens when the diesel is low
Engine is stalling and regaining power continually, feels like it is running out of fuel. Would assume the fuel filter needs to be replaced.
Getting mixed advice on how to transmission fluid changes. My I-290 has 50K miles and book says to change at that time. Local 10 min.oil change place in town will flush but does not have the Dexron 6 that manual calls for but has mercon and will add additives to make it compatable to dex6? He will hook machine to transmission lines but will not drop pan (could this cause a problem?)Local transmission shop in town says donot do the flush only drop the pan change filter and put new fluid in . Which way should I go?
Wednesday it came on while I was coming home. came back on Thursday drove the 12 miles to the store it went off when I got back in the truck went to work it came back on and will not go off. Had a DIAGNOSTIC run on it today it did not show anything
It cranks without firing, get frustrated and wait a few minutes and it starts. What is the issue?
Went out to start my truck this morning and it would not crank. Hooked it up to the battery charger and after less than 10 minutes the charger read "fully charged." When I turn the key, my radio and all other features work, however, it won't crank...just a click. The OBD and Passlock sensor lights are illuminated when the key is turned. The only other time I have had an issue with this truck is when getting gas and they didn't close my gas cap.
I just had the engine replaced two days ago. And am having the same problem as with the old engine. Took truck into dealer back in Oct. of 2010. Reduce power light came on and was only able to drive about 15 miles/hr. While driving or idle the engine would just kill. When I took it into the dealer, all they did was change the cam actuator. 5 months later the engine killed.
Had a new engine put in and just picked up the truck on Saturday April 28. Yesterday while driving the check engine light started blinking and the pwr reduced to 15 miles again and then then truck stalled. Today the dealer called and said that they are getting at least 15 different codes but they all seem to point to the camshaft cranks.
Is there a known defect in this type of vehicle? What or is there any solutions. I just shelled out $4,000 for an engine and am experiencing the same issue as with the old one. I need some serious advise, PLEASE.
starter good. ign switch good. will not crank. Relay does click when turn key to start. no power to starter solenoid.
Why is the truck hestitating at 20,000 miles? The dash lights up saying,, reduced power and wont go over 40 miles an hour..
I get 20-21 mpg on average with varying loads all throughout the non-winter months. Winter & cold temps lower this to 16-17. This is consistant. Why is there such a drop-off in fuel economy? I've been told it should be around 10% due to fuel additives, etc.
I also have intermittant extended start-up cranking at various times with some loud muffler vibration at times too. The CT dealership I purchased from does not handle warrantee work any longer and never were very helpful so I'm looking for a local factory authorized service center if anyone cares to recommend one.
Isuzu corporation is out o business. I was told by a recording this spring that the authorized servicer would be a hyundai company. They do not honor the warranty. Who can provide assistance with getting proper service and pricing for repairs?
where is the evap solenoid located on the Isuzu I-290?

Illinoisians have waited a long time for the concealed carry law that's now in place, and it's a good time to take a look at how it's being implemented and how it compares to laws elsewhere. On March 30-31, 2014, The State Journal-Register and other GateHouse Illinois newspapers will examine these issues. Click below for the articles.
> Concealed carry permit process 'moving right along'
By the time the first concealed carry licenses hit Illinois mailboxes this month, state police had fielded tens of thousands of applications from residents. By March 6, some 48,951 applicants had completed the online forms requesting a permit. The application process opened Jan. 5.
> Lawmakers impatient to change concealed carry law
Illinois' concealed carry law is less than nine months old — the first permits mailed out barely a month ago — yet lawmakers in the General Assembly are hard at work trying to make changes.
> Training programs target safety, skill and the law
The state's new concealed carry law has prompted a flood of applicants seeking to enroll in the 16-hour state-mandated courses and the paperwork necessary to apply. In places such as the Deer Creek American Legion Post 1276, that demand meant booked weekends for the banquet hall — and the new firing range built out back.
> Snapshot: Firearms trainer Terry Lucas
Someone looking to train for an Illinois Concealed Carry license can choose from 2,817 certified trainers in the state and beyond as of mid-March. Here's a look at one of them.
> How Illinois' concealed carry law compares to other states
While Illinois' concealed carry law is considered the strictest of its kind in the country, a regional breakdown illustrates the patchwork of provisions among concealed carry laws in Illinois and neighboring states.
> Police departments alter procedures for concealed carry law
For decades, police officers have been taught to immediately view suspects with guns as potential criminals. Now, that's all starting to change.
> Concealed carry? Not at Illinois colleges and universities
Colleges and universities remain designated gun-free zones under Illinois' new concealed carry gun law. Other than putting signs on campus building doors that remind visitors that guns aren't welcome there is virtually no change in how universities operate when it comes to weapons.
> Review board digs into concealed carry permit objections
The Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board has worked through about one-fifth the objections law enforcement officials so far have made to permit applications since the Illinois State Police began accepting applications in January.
> A look at the top handguns Illinoisans will be carrying
With thousands of Illinois residents applying for licenses to carry concealed firearms, you might be wondering what the guy in the next car is packing in his waistband.

More cash for schools
Budget 2004
WESTFIELDS Sports High School's continuing facelift received a $1.67 million boost in last week's budget.
The money will go towards two current projects, together valued at more than $8.7 million.
Work expected to be completed this year includes a new two story administration building, five new classrooms and refurbishment of three existing buildings.
Further refurbishment work, a new car park, service road and landscaping will be completed in 2006.
Principal Philip Tucker said the old buildings were showing their age. The improvements would enable the school to keep pace with the increasing demand for places - which has exceeded 1100 applications for 200 places in each of the past six years.

A refurbished industrial arts centre would offer students an enjoyable way to gain skills that would enhance their adult lives,
he said.
"They'll have up-to-date facilities to pursue technically-based courses which have great application in the real world with both pers-
onal and professional advantages.
It is very important to expand opportunities for our students.
Areas of the school resemble a building site but Mr Tucker could see the end result in his minds eye.
"It's a bit of a mess at the moment," he said.

Your Itinerary
Day 1: The evening before Day 1, travel from your home to Clarkston, Washington (across the Snake River from Lewiston, Idaho) and meet Team Leader and our River Jester at the Quality Inn at 7:00 pm Pacific Time for a one hour orientation meeting to answer any last-minute questions and give you your waterproof bags to pack. Depart at 7:30 am in our bus for a two-hour ride to the rafting trip launch point near Whitebird, Idaho. Along the way we stop for a brief visit at the Nez Perce National Historical Park for our first introduction to the people who lived along the Salmon River for thousands of years. Once at the river our staff prepares you with a thorough safety orientation while your personal gear is loaded onto our rafts. We launch on the river and enjoy rafting a few miles before stopping for a delicious riverside lunch. Altogether we travel between 6 and 12 miles the first day. Around 4:00 pm we arrive at camp. After you carry your personal gear to the tent of your choice, enjoy free time for swimming, hiking, fishing, reading or just relaxing. "River Jester®" will have fun activities planned for the younger set. Hors d'oeuvres are served around 6:00 along with the kids' dinner. The adult dinner is served around 7:30 and kids are welcome to join this too. After dinner a campfire is lit and an evening of laughter and sharing begins. Included: (L), (D).
Day 2: We wake you around 7:00 am with the smell of fresh-brewed coffee. Breakfast is served around 7:30 and while we clean up the kitchen you pack up your personal gear. The rafts are loaded and we depart from camp about 9:30 for an adventure-packed day of family white water rafting with rapids, great Western scenery and fun. Of historic interest, we stop and visit an Indian rock art site, left by the original inhabitants of this rugged land. Then we enter "Green Canyon" and the exciting rapids of Wright Way Drop and Demon's Drop. Soon after we lunch on a big beach, perfect for swimming and beach games. The afternoon has a few more rapids, the chance of seeing soaring eagles and peaceful time drifting along. Camp is set on a huge white sand beach. After dinner and the evening campfire, watch for a glorious star-studded sky. Included: (B), (L), (D).
Day 3: Today your rafting holiday takes you through "Cougar Canyon" and "Snowhole Canyon" for full day of whitewater rafting fun. Big, splashy rapids such as Lorna's Lulu, Bunghole, the Gobbler, Bodacious Bounce, Snowhole and China make for great stories and beaming smiles. Learn about the Chinese miners who lived and worked in these canyons in the latter half of the 1800's and visit one of their camps and rock houses. It's usually hot (85-95 degrees), so the warm 68-70 degree water invites frequent swims. Our guides have a bagful of games and fun for kids and adults alike and at camp we may set up a volleyball net, horseshoes or take a hike up a mountain. Included: (B), (L), (D).
Day 4: More fun rapids and incredible scenery. We may see some playful river otter swimming and frolicking. At Cottonwood Creek the more adventuresome may jump in and swim through a rapid! Those fishing will continue to find bass and trout and birdwatchers are likely to spot golden eagles and falcons. After lunch we enter "Blue Canyon" and a long series of cascading rapids including the Devil's Slide, Sluice Box, Checkerboard and Eye of the Needle. We end the day near the confluence with the Snake River. Included: (B), (L), (D).
Day 5: Once we enter the Snake we're floating on double the volume of water compared to just the Salmon alone. There are some big waves and big rides and also some long stretches of flat water. We join the rafts together and using a small, quiet outboard, motor through some of today's river miles. Another fine lunch on a sandy beach and a big smile for the group photo. Around 3:00 pm we reach our take-out just below the confluence with the Grande Ronde River and carry personal gear to the waiting bus. Then it's a quick 45-minute ride back to the warehouse and motel. Enjoy a hot shower and change of cloths and then meet your guides for hosted dinner at a local restaurant around 7:00 pm. Included: (B), (L), (D).

Top 8 Tips for Becoming a Successful Quality Assurance Manager
June 28th, 2009
If you want to become a successful Quality Manager, the key is to develop a good QA procedure. You have to clearly define the goal, requirements, review, processes and metrics. It is necessary for you to set up a good QA procedure in order to survive in this competitive market. Most of the good companies who prosper have a solid QA procedure and the implementation starts since the beginning of the project. In this article, I mention a few crucial points in order to become a good QA manager.
- Processes: The degree of Quality Level an organization achieves depends upon different quality processes of the company. The processes can be Project Management, SDLC, Quality Assurance Process, Configuration Management, Resource Management etc. You should have a solid grasp of these processes. The input and output for all processes should be studied to figure out why a process goes wrong.
- Resources: You have to make sure that you have proper resources to execute the quality side of the project. That may include technical expertise, investment in software and hardware, investment in training and staff development, etc
- Management: Senior managers make the organization's policy and set it up. As a quality manager, this is your responsibility to convince your top management so that sound quality policy is in place across the organization.
- Performance management: You can measure the quality of the company's products, and how effective its processes are, at any time.You should collect and analyse such data in a periodic way. The program has to have well-defined goals, rather than acquiring lot of data.
- You need to coordinate between projects for QA, Integration Testing, User Acceptance, Performance, Test Data and Test Environment management. You also need to manage technical tests and automation testing.
- Total Quality Management: One important aspect of TQM is continual improvement. You should never be satisfied the method used, you have to explore further improvement of method for continual improvement. You have to find out source of problems and delays and then improving them is the key for good quality.
- Quality Certification: You can persuade the top management to go for ISO or CMM certification. Companies who have received or are going to receive certification emphasized on their processes and how to maximize quality and efficiency. Once the certification is ready, the processes are established and guidelines are in place for anyone to follow easily, making training, transitions, and trouble-shooting easier.
- Record keeping is an essential concept of Quality Management. But systems can be designed to ease the burden. Records can also turn out to be useful, even for people - such as many engineers. For example, a software release procedure might require engineers to fill in a form with details of the software being issued. They may find it useful to get important clues from the past releases.
