The United States today awarded a $US4.8 million contract to manage the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr, recently seized and tenuously-held by invading US and British troops.
The US Agency for International Development said the contract, the second to be awarded after Washington sought contracts from a select group of US firms was awarded to the Seattle, Washington-based Stevedoring Services of America (SSA).
"SSA will be responsible for the effective operation of the port, allowing food and other humanitarian and reconstruction materials and supplies to be delivered smoothly and efficiently," USAID said in a statement.
"(It) will provide an initial port assessment, develop improvement plans to overcome port-imposed constraints, and supply technical expertise to ensure an adequate flow of through shipment," the agency said.
The company will be responsible for port pilots who will guide ships to the piers, manage the access of trucking companies to the port as well as police the facility, USAID said.
The deal is the second of eight civilian contracts for the postwar reconstruction of Iraq tendered by USAID on January 31 that are reportedly valued at more than 900 million dollars.
The process has been criticised by some because of its secrecy and the small number of firms involved. No foreign companies were invited to tender.
The SSA deal is the second to have been struck. A $US 7.1 million personnel contract was awarded to Washington-based International Resources Group on February 21.
According to international aid groups, Umm Qasr, which feel to coalition forces last week, is key to providing much-needed humanitarian assistance to war-ravaged regions of Iraq.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said earlier today that 1.2 million residents of Iraq's second-largest city of Basra are on a brink of a humanitarian crisis due to a water shortage and fighting.
A senior official at the aid agency said its staff in Basra, which is at the centre of heavy fighting between Iraqi and US-led coalition forces, were still struggling to gain access to the city's main water pumping station.
Fresh water supplies were cut off on Friday, with local ICRC staff rigging up an emergency salt water supply from the Shatt Al Arab waterway for about 40 per cent of the population.

Sometimes things don't go as planned – and those moments often make for the best stories. Tripping columns offer readers a chance to share their wild adventures from the road.
We must have taken a wrong turn in the casino.
Maybe we were still high on Love, Cirque du Soleil's celebration of the Beatles. Maybe we were just following the wrong crowd (we wouldn't be the first to be led astray in Las Vegas), but whatever the reason, we ended up leaving the Mirage at a different spot from where the cab had dropped us off.
There were no doormen. No line of cabs waiting to whisk us down the Strip to our Vegas hotel. So we just started walking. After all, our hotel was just a few doors down, it was a beautiful night and my heels were comfortable – I had danced the night away in these very same shoes.
Besides, I was all dressed up and a stroll down the strip would be like walking down a catwalk. Vegas, baby!
I flipped my hair, turned right and we joined some of the 20-million people who rubberneck down Las Vegas Boulevard every year.
Next door in the manicured gardens of Caesar's Palace, we wonder what the Roman general would make of the Eiffel Tower across the street. At least 10 minutes later we are still hailing Caesar. It's a 13-hectare site and my model strut is becoming less sure, more sore. But I try to stay light on my (open) toes, buoyed by the energy, the crowds and the lights – the sheer spectacle of the strip.
Eventually, we're in front of the next hotel, the Bellagio. The catwalk is forgotten and I'm lurching forward, zombie-like, but at least we don't have to weave through the crowds. Hundreds of people are pressed up against the stone railing watching the Bellagio fountains perform a water ballet to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
I sing along to tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and I very much wish for a newspaper taxi to appear on the shore. Alas, that's not how it works here. Hailing cabs is illegal in Vegas, the only thing that is. But what's really criminal is thinking these shoes were comfortable.
Two hotels left. Suddenly the people waiting to take elevators up to the overpass walkways aren't as silly as I thought they were earlier in the day – when I was wearing flip-flops.
I consider taking my shoes off. Just for a second. I pause longer than I should outside Chanel and consider dropping a mortgage payment on comfortable-looking boots. Step by agonizing step we are – finally – at our hotel.
But there is no entrance off the Strip. We either have to walk all the way around the corner, which at this point is akin to climbing Everest, or hop a rather large glass railing to get to the hotel driveway a metre below the street.
Wait! There's an elevator that descends that metre. Oh blessed elevator! Then a short stagger and I'm sitting on the red-velvet bench in the hotel elevator, no longer puzzled by why a hotel puts benches in elevators.
Next time, I'm sticking to the flip-flops.

West Newton Council approves seismic testing for natural gas — without trucks
An oil and gas services company received permission on Monday to install recorders in West Newton to collect seismic data from underground explosions to determine whether the land underneath the 1.1-square-mile borough contains pockets of natural gas.
West Newton Council gave McDonald Land Services LLC of Washington, Okla., the approval to place the battery-powered seismic recorders in the borough, as long as the company does not use vibrating trucks to test for the natural gas. The approval is contingent on the borough signing a contract with McDonald Land Services.
"As long as it keeps the seismic truck out, I can't see anything wrong with it," Council President George Molovich said.
Randall T. Bridges, project manager for McDonald Land Services, which has been contracted by ION GX Technology of Houston, said the testing in West Newton is part of the company's overall plan to conduct the seismic testing in a 115-square-mile area, from the Greensburg area to the Youghiogheny River. He said they will begin in the Greensburg-Youngwood area and move south toward the river during the next 30 to 45 days.
The plan is to place 3-pound explosive charges 30 feet underground. A person might feel a "bump" one-quarter mile from the explosion, Bridges said.
It is unlikely that the explosive charges would be detonated within West Newton, because the explosions cannot occur within 300 feet of a building, structure or water well.
The seismic recording devices would be placed in a grassy area, just off the street or sidewalk, Bridges said. A small hole would be drilled in the ground to hold the seismometer. The company typically places 180 recording devices within a square mile, Bridges said. A line of seismic recorders would be placed 300 feet apart and 600 feet from the next line of recorders, Bridges said.
In other matters, the borough hired five part-time police officers, who will begin working in late spring or early summer, Chief Gary Indof said.
Timothy Farkas of West Newton was the first to be hired, and granted seniority over the other officers hired moments later.
Jennifer Kominsky was the second to be hired, followed by Andrew Jacobs, Phillip Musa and Zachary Gustafson.
Indof said the order in which the officers were hired by council was based on how well they did in the job interviews.
The hourly rates paid to the officers varies, depending on how many hours they work, Indof said.
Before hiring the officers, council accepted the resignation of Bryan Bobnar as a part-time police officer, effective April 14. Bobnar notified council he had been hired by California University of Pennsylvania's police department.

A Milaca man has been charged with stealing the van of his ex-girlfriend despite denying that he had anything to do with the theft.
James M. Anderson, 45, 210 Second St. SE, Milaca, has been charged in Mille Lacs County District Court with motor vehicle theft and receiving stolen property in connection with the incident. Both charges are felonies.
According to a criminal complaint, Anderson is accused of stealing the van around March 28 and breaking out all of its windows. A deputy drove by Anderson's residence after receiving the complaint and observed two vans on the property — one with its windows broken out.
The owner of the van told investigators that she dropped the van off at a radiator repair shop near Princeton on March 18. While inside the shop, discussing repairs necessary for the vehicle, an alarm went off in the shop. The two looked outside and allegedly observed Anderson smashing out the windows and headlights of the van. He also punched holes in the hood of the van with a rod, the complaint alleges.
Anderson left the scene. The van owner then made arrangements with the repair shop owner to return later with a trailer and remove the van from the premise. When she returned, the shop owner said someone came and picked up the van. The van owner alleged that person was Anderson.
The repair shop owner said the person who took the van cleaned up all the broken glass before leaving his property, the complaint states.
Upon seeing a similar van at the Second Street address, the county deputy obtained a search warrant to seize the van from Anderson's property. The license plates had been removed from the vehicle, the complaint states, and were located inside Anderson's residence. There were several other items missing from the van as well, the complaint alleges.
In a formal, Mirandized statement, Anderson denied taking or damaging the van.
If convicted, Anderson faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University junior Clark Richeson was named the Peach Belt Conference's "Goalkeeper of the Week" for the week ending Oct. 11.
Patriot officials also announced that because of wet field conditions and the threat of more precipitation on Wednesday, the Oct. 14 home match against PBC foe UNC Pembroke has been changed to Thursday (Oct. 15) at 5 p.m. in Pembroke, N.C.
Richeson helped lead Francis Marion to a 1-0-1 mark in two matches last week. This is his second weekly award of 2009 and the fifth time in three seasons he has been honored.
The Mansfield, Texas, native made four saves in 76 minutes of action during a 4-0 home win over Newberry College and then registered a season-high 12 saves in Sunday's 0-0 overtime tie at Clayton State University. That save total was one shy of his career high set in 2007 also against Clayton State. He has not allowed a score in his last 207:18, and now has four shutouts this season and 10 in his career.
Richeson leads the conference in goals against average (0.80), save percentage (.872), and saves per match (5.67).
The FMU defense has allowed a conference-low 10 scores in 2009 and sports a PBC-best 0.79 goals against average.
Following Thursday's match at UNCP, the Patriots will host North Georgia College & State University on Saturday at 2 p.m. for Senior Day.
Richeson was an All-District and All-Region goalkeeper at Summit High School.

Q: I've tried to ID my teddy bear, but no luck. I have been told he's a Steiff bear, but I have not found a button on him. How can I have my bear appraised and identified?
A: The bear seen in an image sent is light-haired with fluffy fur and pad feet. We can't see the arm ends, but they may be padded as well. We have no info on size. A bow at the neck is a replacement.
To clue readers, Margarete Steiff was a German dressmaker whose first bear in 1884 stood on all fours. He, along with other Steiff animals, sold at local fairs.
Toy lore has it that in 1903, Steiff exhibited the first jointed bear — her development — at a toy fair. When President "Teddy" Roosevelt could not ID the breed, the bears were dubbed "Teddy's Bears." The term became generic: Steiff was and is one maker.
Early Steiff bears are most valuable. Most pre-WW I bears have black button eyes. Glass eyes came later. Up to 1940, early teddy bears, Steiff included, are less cute and more natural looking, with long, curved arms and legs. Front paws are spoonlike.
The button our reader refers to is a Steiff mark, typically punched into an ear. The first Steiff buttons in 1904 had an elephant. Later versions had variants of the company name.
Parents, thinking the buttons were dangerous and a choking hazard, often removed them. The lack of a button doesn't eliminate the possibility that this is a Steiff bear.
Because the image is not sharp, we can't make out the fabric on the pad feet. It could be felt. One pad is written on. We also can't distinguish composition of the eyes and nose. This nose could be plastic or leather.
When evaluating or IDing a bear, a bewildering number of fine points matter. For example, because of the way this bear is placed in the image, we can't tell if it has an open or closed mouth. We can see that a line from the nose to chin is black, but we can't make out if it's stitched or rigid.
To our eye, the bear is post-1950s, and might be from the Steiff line called Zotty bears. Their features include open mouths with felt inside, short arms and a patch of peach-color mohair on the chest. Again, details are hard to make out.
If this bear is Zotty, know that several months ago a 10½-inch version with no tag sold on eBay for $30. In 2011, a 13¾-inch Zotty with button brought $119.
A bear specialist can make a definitive call for the reader. Is it important to do so? If intent is to sell, it pays to take it to a bear hospital or seller for evaluation, or get a formal appraisal from a credentialed appraiser listed below.
If the bear is a loved object and identification is for simple curiosity, personal research, online and at a library, may do the job.
FYI: To find a professional appraiser in your area, key: appraisersassoc.org (Appraisers Association; isa-appraisers.org (International Society of Appraisers); or appraisers.org (American Society of Appraisers).
Q: I have a painting by Lev Felixovich Lagorio dated 1879 that I want to sell. Please advise.
A: First, let's tell readers that the artist was Russian (1827-1905), produced oil on canvas and watercolor works, and specialized in seascapes.
In 2009, an oil on canvas showing Cossacks crossing a river sold in England at auction for $248,272. It is signed in Cyrillic, as is the one seen in an image. A seascape with a mill by moonlight attributed to the same year failed to sell.
I recommend that this reader shop his art to major auction houses throughout the U.S.
A caveat: The artist has been reproduced. An auction specialist can tell you if it is authentic.

I don't know how to structure this so I do apologise if none of this makes any sense. Ok, well I am a 23yr old male, never had a gf, never done anything sexual, never been kissed.
I have come to a point in my life where I am just considering giving up looking for a girlfriend as I seem worthless and unlovable to women. I am 6ft, slim with a quiet personality - i'm not and never will be one of the lads, nor will I ever be someone who is considered 'fit'. I have joined two dating sites (with pics), messaged about 40 women who I believe to be around my level and these messages have been detailed and respectful, with questions included to try to get them to reply back to me. They have also included things that are relevant to the interests of these women.
NOTHING has come of these dating sites; I get ignored initially or people reply saying that they are not looking for a relationship despite them saying on their profile that they're looking for a relationship. I have such a s*it personality that trying to chat up women in bars, clubs or at work is a no no.
The women that I have met have been through gumtree and these are women who are looking for friendship which is perfectly fine, they aren't my type anyway.
Now, there is one girl that did message back from the dating site. She is a student in my home city and she is moving back here when term starts in September. She says she would be keen on meeting up but again she only wants friendship - so she says. However she is role playing, and speaking on the phone to someone else she had met on an online dating site and I get the impression that she really likes him and wants things to further develop despite him living hundreds of miles away.
This girl supposedly has a lack of confidence, she says she is a virgin but has apparently done other stuff with her ex. I can't help but feel that she finds me ugly. WHY OH WHY can't I find somebody? What is so wrong about me that women dislike me?
I don't want to sound petulant but it hurts me when I look at other couples walking hand in hand around town, couples who people may consider 'ugly', or seeing people with personalities similar to mine having no trouble in getting a girlfriend; it's easy as buying a pint of milk from the shop for other people. Why not me? I can talk to women fine, and I don't buy into all this 'friendzone' malarky - you either like someone or you don't.
Should I give up and just go with a prostitute to lose my virginity? Is that all I am worth? Maybe I should try and be a gangster or a criminal to get kudos with women. I just don't know anymore

Why don't you try meet up with the girls who just want to be 'freinds' to start off with? Trust me they are only saying that just in case they don't actually like you when they meet you in real. If all goes well than the 'freind' can very quickly turn into GIRLfreind. Just gota play your cards right.
Using prostitute/high class escort services isn't such a bad idea either. Maybe that will get you the confidence that you need??

Digipak Templates
Digipaks are a combination of cardboard and a plastic tray secured inside. One of the most popular format in digipaks is called a "4-panel digipak" which opens like a book and has two outer panels and two inner panels. One of those inner panels is the tray and disc.
The other most popular is a "6-panel digipak".
Advantages to Digipaks
They just look cool. They also are cheaper to mail and by all account suffer significantly less damage than a plastic jewel case when received. They are printed on recycled paper and are printed using soy-based inks.
Disadvantages to Digipaks
Since most people order in 1000, I'll address these for when printing 1000 or less.
They cost more. You sort of "lose" a panel where the tray goes and its a bit tricky to flow the text to show up underneath it especially with all the raised pieces like the center hub and outer round areas. And don't forget there are glue dots which can cover up some words and NO you can not request a special dot location. And your budget can get blown when you want a pocket and a booklet in your digipak.
Digipak Templates –
We are printing digipaks in digital color as well as traditional offset. Additionally, we can provide them in quantities as few as 100 or as many as you need. Depending on your needs, we have different templates for the same format so make sure we know how many you are planning to do – it helps us get you exactly what you need.
To ensure you have the latest digipak templates that work for your needs – if you would provide your details here – we'll have our prepress department retrieve the correct template for you. This does save you time and therefore money from you choosing the incorrect template – designing your entire package only to find out when you're ready to print that you have to modify your artwork to get the pricing you want. This way you get exactly the digipak template you want and need from the beginning.

Eagles strive for idea balance
At one point in their season opener against Cleveland, the Eagles had thrown the ball 56 times and had run it 23. It wasn't the balance offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg expected. They achieved far better balance against Baltimore with a 41-32 run-pass split in a 26-17 victory.
Clearly, if the Eagles can get off to a fast start against the Steelers, LeSean McCoy will handle the ball almost exclusively.
So it was last weekend when the Eagles again ran more than they threw — 36 carries, including 23 by McCoy for 123 yards, compared to 30 passes — en route to a 22-20 win over the New York Giants.
"Definitely, we do throw the ball a lot, and I feel like we do call enough runs to stay balanced enough," McCoy said. "I think with this offense a screen can be just as good as a run, by throwing the ball to the backs, giving them one-on-one opportunities but also by throwing the ball deep. We just do a great job of mixing it up. I think Marty does a good job of running it enough and throwing it enough."

It is taken concurrently as part of the secondary methods block with EDU 351 and EDU 368. Some assignments for these classes will overlap or complement each other.
Read the Conceptual Framework as embedded in this course.
Read here how course activities and assignments are integrated with the Minnesota Standards of Effective Practice.
"My response to [my parents] appreciation of the written word was to read a grand total of one book from cover to cover during my entire four years of high school, opting rather to invent titles for book reports, as well as stories to go with them, and choosing the names of the authors from the pages of the Boise telephone directory."
-Chris Crutcher, author of several books for young adults
"In my twenty years of working with at-risk adolescents I have yet to meet one who said to me, 'Mrs. Mueller, I like not being able to read. I like being unsuccessful in school.'"
-from Lifers: Learning from at-risk adolescent readers by Pamela N. Mueller
Course Overview
The first quote from Chris Crutcher shows a creative teenager who is adept at avoiding dislikable reading and writing tasks in school. As teachers, we hope our students will read the texts we assign. But what if they dont? What if they cant, as Jimmy Baca couldn't until he was an adult, or as Pamela Mueller found out in her work with teenagers? The assumption is that by grade 6, students know how to read. If only that were the case. As teachers of English, math, science, health, music, physical education, social studies or art, we are our students reading and writing teachers. Consequently, all of us share the responsibility of teaching our students to read and write well.
One of the assumptions I make in designing this course is that our experience with our own literacy development shapes our attitudes to our students literacy skills. If we ourselves dont like to read or write - or dont feel were very good at it - what message do we send to our students? Throughout this semester we will explore the following essential questions about literacy that teachers ask:
What does it mean to be literate?
How do I help students become readers?
How do I help students become writers?
What is the connection between literacy and learning in a subject area?
How do I learn to be a teacher of reading and writing in my content area?
Course Schedule
This is a .25 course taught as part of the secondary methods block along with EDU 351: Secondary Methods and Materials, and EDU 368: Practicum. The integration of these courses will enable you to include literacy strategies in the unit and lesson plans you will develop in Methods.
Course Goals
Honesty Policy
Gustavus now has an Honor Code. Please review it. In addition, you are expected to comply with the Standards of Professional Conduct required of all licensed Minnesota teachers. Ethical behavior is imperative for teachers. Plagiarism on any assignment for this class will be reported to the Dean of Students office and will result in an F for this course. If you are unclear about what plagiarism is, or about how to document your sources, please visit this helpful website on how to avoid it.
Attendance Policy
If you must miss class, you are responsible on your own for talking with a classmate to learn that days information. Please note that absence from class violates our Standards of Professional Conduct, and that if you miss more than two classes I reserve the right to lower your course grade by a full letter. If you have a medical condition which necessitates frequent absences, please speak with me immediately.
Late Work Policy
All assignments are expected in class on the day they are due.
and Evaluation
1) Mid-term grades for this course will be S or U; the middle of the semester is too early to assign a letter grade to your work for this class. If you have any questions about your progress in the course, please talk to me at any time.
Student Accountability
You are expected to:
(Click on the link below for complete assignment.)
|Complete all required readings and assignments by the due dates listed in the schedule. You are responsible for the content of course readings even if they are not specifically discussed in class.
|Take notes during class to increase your understanding and as reference for future use. While taking notes may seem obvious, I have found that many students do not take class notes during a discussion based class. You won't remember evrything you learn in class unless you write down what is discussed.
|Complete a number of writing assignments and a web resource analysis.
2, 3,4,6, 9
|Do a Reading Apprenticeship session with a partner.
2, 3,6
|Write a Belief and Practice Position Paper
|Develop lesson plan(s) with embedded reading strategies.
This task will be done while you are working on your unit/lesson plans in Secondary Methods.

Nissan Frontier Models and Frontier History
Minor changes to the trim levels were the only updates in store for 2006. But in 2007, Nissan added a new Crew Cab Long Bed trim that measured six feet. V6 models saw reduced emissions and a seatbelt reminder for passengers was made standard. 2008 was the year of package additions being added to the Frontier, namely technology upgrades for buyers. A brand new fascia in the front alongside new headlights and a gauge cluster were key features of the 2009 Frontier.
Enhanced safety was the theme of 2010, with standard stability control system, front side impact airbags and side curtain airbags. The Frontier would pass all the way through 2012 mostly unchanged. In 2013, the engine was updated to improve fuel economy and create a smoother-shifting drive. Optional climate control and backup camera as well as new GPS debuted during this year, too.

|Interaction of vibrational fundamental and combination states of ethylene in 3 $\mu$m region
|Sartakov, Boris G.; Oomens, Jos; Reuss, J.
|Issue Date:
|Ohio State University
|Formalism of symmetry groups has been developed and applied to expand the vibrational-rotational Hamiltonian and operator of dipole moment of ethylene into a power series of annihilation and creation operators as well as angular momentum operatores. This approach allows to characterize every term of the series by its specific order in which the operators appear. The first analysis of the 3 $\mu$m spectra reveals the strong coupling between $\nu_{9}$, $\nu_{11}$, $\nu_{2} + \nu_{12}$ and $2 - \nu_{10} + \nu_{12}$ yielding shifts of about $0.01 cm^{-1}$ for some low J and K lines of $C_{2}H_{4}$. We find that significant shifts are due to perturbations of $\nu_{9}$ rotational-vibrational levels via $3^{rd}$ order b-type Coriolis interaction with the $\nu_{3} + \nu_{8} + \nu_{12}$ rotational levels A prominent borrowing of transition dipole moment is predicted for some otherwise dark rovibrational lines of the $\nu_{3}+\nu_{8}+\nu_{12}$ band. These satellite lines have been found and assigned in low temperature spectra of ethylene recorded by the F-center laser spectrometer in a jet and afterwords in room temperature spectra recorded earlier by the difference-frequency laser spectrometer [1] and recently by the FTIR spectrometer in the Giessen group. The fitting of interaction parameters with the mentioned perturbations leads to a standerd deviation of 2 $10^{3}$ $cm^{-1}$, for low $J$ lines of ethylene. The leading coupling parameters in the pentade $\nu_{9}$ $\nu_{11}$, $\nu_{2} + \nu_{12}$; $2- \nu_{10} + \nu_{12}$ and $\nu_{3} + \nu_{8} + \nu_{12}$ are shown in the table The last parameter approximately describes, too the perturbations between $\nu_{9}$+$\nu_{10}$ and $\nu_{3}$+$\nu_{8}$+2-$\nu_{10}$, observed in the hot bands spectra [1] A.S.

YUCAIPA >> Smart & Final Extra! will be coming to the Chapman Heights development area, adjacent to City Hall and the new police station.
The 27,000-square-foot store at the northwest corner of 6th Street and Yucaipa Boulevard was given final approval by the City Council on Monday.
"If Smart & Final thinks they can be successful there I believe they can and frankly I'm thrilled this store is coming. It will be a great addition to our retail in our city," said Mayor Pro Tem Tom Masner.
Smart & Final Extra! stores are larger than traditional Smart & Final warehouse stores, allowing for more than 5,000 additional items in family sizes, according to Smart & Final's website.
The store will carry fresh produce, fresh meat, frozen foods, dairy, deli, general grocery items as well as baby food, diapers, health and beauty care.
Councilman Dick Riddell and Mayor Denise Hoyt requested the project be reviewed by the full council following the Planning Commission's approval in December.
"It is in an important area of our community. It is adjacent to significant civic buildings and I think that it is worthy of the input of the entire council, just to make sure that the community gets a project that is appropriate for this particular location," Hoyt said Monday.
The Planning Commission in December gave input on the building's architectural design, but did not approve designs.
The developer updated the exterior architectural design to include elements of Craftsman-style architecture similar to that of City Hall and the police station, with exterior support columns with stone veneer, exposed roof rafters, a beige/tan color trim, trellises on each side of the building as well as an outdoor covered patio.
The store's interior design is a combination of traditional Smart & Final stores and higher-end grocery stores, such as Sprouts and Vons.
The updated designs will be submitted for review at a later date.
"I think it's a vast improvement and I think it really accentuates and even enhances the police station rather than detract from it," Riddell said.

Interesting again. I ran the tool merely because I had no other recourse to remedy this.

This has been tested and fails, so it does appear to be a corruption issue on the stable media. Based on your first comment, I'm re-running tests to verify that the ISCSI volumes are fully online and ready to accept IO before mounting the file system. Thank you very much. - John Quigley

I write in response to the Constitution Committee's
Report of 2nd July 2009 in which the Committee sets out its views
on a number of provisions within the Policing and Crime Bill.
The Government is grateful for the views of the Committee and
we have considered them carefully over the summer recess.
We have identified five substantive recommendations
and conclusions in the Constitution Committee report on the Policing
and Crime Bill. We have set out below our response to each of
the issues raised.
Preventative injunctions
1. We reiterate our general concern about the
trend of addressing problems associated with criminal activity
and other anti-social behaviour through preventative injunctions.
(Paragraph 3)
The Government understands that the Committee is
concerned about a new preventative injunction. The Government
is very clear that these civil injunctions are not being introduced
as an alternative to prosecuting gang- related violence, when
such prosecutions are available. However, the granting of injunctions
in Birmingham prior to the Court of Appeal decision in Birmingham
City Council v Shafi and Ellis showed in some cases an acceptance
by local authorities and courts that there was a need for immediate
injunctive relief in cases which involved gang-related violence.
The injunctions provided a flexible, preventive tool which was
able to provide immediate relief from a particular problem without
criminalising young people. It was particularly important to the
community in Birmingham that these injunctions were flexible and
could be granted for a short period of time (there being no minimum
term) and that any breach did not result in a criminal record.
Some mothers of gang members even gave evidence in support of
an injunction as this did not involve the criminal justice system
in any way. Evidence from the use of these injunctions in Birmingham
showed that incidents of serious gang-related crime fell (Col
Where prosecution is possible, the use of criminal
law to deal with gang- related violence will always be the preferred
option. These injunctions will be aimed at those against whom,
for a variety of reasons, criminal proceedings have not been brought.
It may be that there is some evidence of criminal behaviour, but
that either the investigation is still on-going or that the CPS
has not yet decided whether to charge an individual or that a
decision not to charge has been taken. In all these circumstances,
although the criminal justice system is the preferred option,
the Government recognises that injunctions can offer the immediate
relief required as well as the opportunity to offer an escape
route from further violent behaviour. We know that some gangs
are sophisticated in their criminal behaviour, they are practised
in destroying all evidence that could implicate them, and that
they systematically intimidate witnesses. The civil justice system
complements the criminal justice system as it can be an effective
driver for change or prevention rather than delivering punishment;
the responsibility for which lies within the criminal justice
system. For all of these reasons we believe that an injunction
provides a first step to reducing gang behaviour while evidence
of criminality is sought.
Gang-related violence injunctions
2. We accept that preventative orders cover a
wide range of different situations, some of which have more serious
consequences than others. There may be some preventative orders
in respect of which the civil standard or a sliding-scale of the
standard of proof is appropriate. Gang- related violence injunctions
are, however, in the category of preventative orders with the
most serious consequences. We are therefore concerned that the
bill states expressly that the standard of proof is the civil
standard rather than the criminal standard. In our view minimum
considerations of due process should require the criminal standard
of proof ("beyond reasonable doubt") to be applied in
applications for gang-related violence injunctions. (Paragraph
As stated in our above response where prosecution
is possible, the use of criminal law to deal with gang-related
violence will always be the preferred option. These injunctions
will be aimed at those against whom, for a variety of reasons,
criminal proceedings have not been brought.
The proposed injunction is a civil order and whilst
the Government acknowledges the serious nature of gang-related
violence we feel that the only appropriate burden of proof to
be applied is the civil balance of probabilities. We feel that
this is appropriate because the injunction will be granted in
the civil courts and any breach of which will be dealt with as
a civil contempt of court. The Government is satisfied that civil
court procedure adequately safeguards individuals' ECHR Article
6 rights.
Civil courts are well versed in using injunctions
to deal with allegations involving criminal or quasi-criminal
behaviour for example, housing disputes and domestic violence.
An allegation of criminal activity taking place is not enough
to put this injunction into the arena of the criminal justice
system. The Government is aware of the need to ensure that there
are adequate safeguards, especially bearing in mind the nature
of the requirements and prohibitions and the duration of the injunctions.
It is for these reasons that, in addition to the right to appeal,
express provision has been made allowing applications to discharge
or vary the injunction to be made by either party as well as enabling
the courts to set review hearings.
The Government has carefully considered both the
case of McCann and the subsequent House of Lords case of
Re B in which it was clarified that there is only one civil
standard of proof. Since it is not a criminal offence to breach
an injunction, the Government is content that the situation is
distinguished from that of ASBOs. These injunctions are not the
tool to be used for anti-social behaviour and therefore the Government
is satisfied that any overlap with ASBOs is minimal.
As previously highlighted, should there be proof
to the criminal standard of criminal activities, the Government
would expect criminal proceedings to be considered. However, given
these are civil injunctions granted in civil courts, breach of
which is a civil contempt of court, the Government is content
that the balance of probabilities is the appropriate burden of
Retention and destruction of samples
3. Clause 96 of the bill seeks to amend the Police
and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 by inserting new powers for the
Secretary of State, by regulations, to "make provision as
to the retention, use and destruction of material". It is
in our view wholly unacceptable that the important matter of retention
of samples is to be dealt with by delegated legislation. The Government's
proposals as to how they intend to implement the Marper
judgment raise important and controversial questions, which the
House will want to debate fully. Clause 96, if agreed to, will
not allow that debate to happen. The principles governing samples
should be set out on the face of primary legislation to enable
Parliament to scrutinise them and, if needs be, to seek to amend
them. Unamendable delegated legislation will not provide a sufficient
opportunity for parliamentary oversight and control over the legal
framework for the Government's policy. (Paragraph 15)
We call on the Government to think again and bring
forward proposals in a separate bill to regulate the National
DNA Database. (Paragraph 16)
The Government has always acknowledged that this
important topic arouses strongly held views and that there was
a case for saying that the detail of the retention periods should
be set out in primary legislation. However, against that we had
to weigh the importance of responding to the European Court of
Human Rights judgment in S and Marper v United Kingdom within
a reasonable time frame. We judged that the approach taken in
the Policing and Crime Bill provided a sensible opportunity for
us to demonstrate we were committed to implementing the judgment,
to consult swiftly but thoroughly on the detail of the policy,
and for us to give Parliament an opportunity to approve this through
the affirmative resolution procedure.
We have however considered the Committee's views
on Clauses 96-98 over the summer, alongside the views expressed
by the JCHR, the DPRRC, members in both Houses and importantly,
the responses received to the Home Office Consultation Document
'Keeping the right people on the DNA database', published on 7
May 2009. While we remain committed to implementing the judgment
of the European Court of Human Rights at the earliest opportunity,
we accept the concerns raised by the Committee and other stakeholders
around the approach of making the necessary changes to the law
through an enabling power.
Given the strength of feeling on this issue and the
importance that we move forward with consensus on this issue we
therefore accept the view that this issue would be more appropriately
dealt with in primary legislation and have decided to invite Parliament
to remove clauses 96-98 from the Bill when it comes to consider
them in Committee in the Lords. We will then look to bring forward
appropriate measures which will place the detail of retention
periods on the face of primary legislation, allowing full debate
and scrutiny on the issue in both Houses, as soon as Parliamentary
time allows.
Clause 99: border controls
4. In the light of Lord West's explanation, we
are content that the proposal does not infringe constitutional
principle. That said, we remind the House that the new powers
are part of a package of changes that seek to integrate customs
and immigration functions of government. We have expressed some
concerns about features of this process in an earlier report (Part
1 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill, 5th Report
of 2008-09, HL 41). It will be important to monitor these developments
to ensure that they do not impinge, whether inadvertently or otherwise,
on constitutional principles. (Paragraph 18)
The Government is pleased that the Committee is content
that the proposal does not infringe constitutional principle.
The measure is key to delivering improved border security as recommended
in the O'Donnell report on the UK's border arrangements. That
said, we acknowledge the concern expressed and will work closely
with the Crown Dependencies to ensure the arrangements do not
impinge on constitutional principles.
5. It is a matter of concern that there does not
appear to be in place a robust system for ensuring that the Crown
Dependencies, which are British Islands, are properly consulted
by departments of the United Kingdom Government in respect of
policy proposals that may have an impact on the rights of British
citizens living in those islands or the constitutional relationship
with the islands. The Ministry of Justice has overarching responsibility
for the Government's relations with the Crown Dependencies. We
recommend that the Ministry of Justice carries out a review of
the processes across Government for ensuring that the views of
the Crown Dependencies are sought during policymaking and legislative
drafting on proposals that may affect them. (Paragraph 26)
The Ministry of Justice is currently in the process
of developing and updating protocols for how consultation with
Crown Dependencies should be carried out. These will be circulated
to other government departments for departments to refer to when
consulting with the Crown Dependencies, through the appropriate
channels within the Ministry of Justice, on the extension of UK
regulations; UK primary legislation and international instruments
to the Crown Dependencies. The dissemination of these protocols
forms part of the ongoing work the Ministry of Justice is undertaking
to raise awareness across Government of the necessity of consulting
with the Crown Dependencies on any proposed policywhether
it be UK legislation or international conventions or treaties
and complement the Cabinet Office Guide to Making Legislation
which states that if a department wishes its Bill to extend to
the Crown Dependencies it will need to seek the consent of the
Insular Authorities via the Ministry of Justice.

We rented the Orchid room for a week. It was quiet, spacious, self contained, fully featured and we enjoyed our stay greatly. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hinterland setting was green and cool and away from the hustle bustle and heat of the coast. A neighbors dog and the ubiquitous chickens were a pain at times, but otherwise very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our first trip to Kauai to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Booking the stay was easy on the inn's website which was informative and accurate. The posted pictures only hinted at how good the place actually is. I chose this place as Frommers gave it a great rating for quality and value. The drive from Lihue airport takes 15 to 20 minutes and is a truly beautiful scenic route up a mountain and past a spectacular waterfall. Check in was simple (no waiting in line) and feels like entering your new domicile for the first time. Our first 5 nights were in the Plumeria suite and the final 2 were in the Green Rose. Both suites were spectacular! Decorations were reflective of Hawaii & the Beatles. Both bedrooms are large including the beds which were very comfortable. Apple computer are in the rooms with free internet service. Both kitchens are full service with gas range (awesome) and a great fridges. This really helps control your food budget by allowing you to cook or eat your leftovers (BBQ also available). In Plumeria bathroom is huge with a jetted tub and hilarious grass skirts on the double sink bases. Living area is very cozy with a large LCD TV that gives tons of channels. There is a massive and up to date DVD library in the hosts' house that you are welcome to explore. Jeff and Tricia are friendly, gracious hosts that were alot of fun to converse with. Mike gives an amazing tour of his Beatles museum which is a guests' only privilege. Everyone who listens to any Rock music should experience this tour. Location is very central for the island and close to shopping and restaurants. Contrary to the unhappy experience of a recent reviewer in the Plumeria suite, we loved the Plumeria Suite. We have experienced many B+B's or similar lodgings as well as many hotels ($100-$250/night range) and can sincerely say that KCI and its owners have reset the bar for us. We definitely want to return to this charming inn and hosts.

I made the reservation with Mike, one of the owners, and explained that I wanted the 2 bedroom Plumeria suite because I am a light sleeper and need my own room for sleeping. Mike told me that was no problem and went on to say that many couples request the same thing. You can imagine my surprise when we arrive at the inn after 18 hours of travel to find that our suite was one bedroom. I promptly called Mike, who after putting me on hold for several minutes, came back on the line and said "How many people do you have with you?." Two I told him, feeling frustrated because I had already told him on several occasions that it would be just me and my husband to be. I asked Mike why we were not in the suite that we reserved and he told me, "We don't have you down for the two bedroom. It is being painted right now. We normally put 2 people in the one bedroom but I can make up the day bed for you." He further added that the second bedroom would be available the following day for an additional 10 dollars a night. I realized then that the person we were dealing with was unprofessional with no real interest to remedy his mistake. Mike insinuated that there was no error on his part because the two bedroom suite normally gets rented by larger parties. The thing is, I had several conversations with Mike about needing the 2 bedroom suite. He obviously didn't document our request and review it before our arrival, because he knew absolutely nothing about us when we arrived. But, much more than my initial disappointment about the room not being right, was my frustration that Mike was unable to give a genuine apology. Instead of any sort of apology, we were brushed off with the words "I talk to so many brides every day - I can't remember every request". He basically told us that we never made the reservation that we were certain we did. This was just ONE occasion where we felt like Mike treated us with disregard and apathy.

Wow! This was a difficult customer to interact with. As is our policy & routine, we confirm all lodging and wedding/lodging packages booked at the Kauai Country Inn in detail by email. This couple's wedding & lodging package was confirmed for the 1 bedroom Plumeria Suite, and their confirmation email listed this in great detail along with the other specifics of their planned wedding on Kauai. The groom called us 3 times prior to their arrival reminding us that his bride needed a loud fan in their bedroom because she was a very light sleeper, not once was the need for the 2 bedroom suite mentioned, and I guess it was unfortunate that this second bedroom was being painted at the time of their arrival, otherwise we would have gladly made this additional room available to them. Like the bride mentions in her review there were some additional issues, and we were left with the feeling that this couple didn't read any of their email confirmations and correspondence, and the bride liked to claim that things were promised to her over the phone, which is convenient because there is no paper trail to be followed for accuracy. Her claim that our company does not document requests is outright false, as we have a paper trail of emails documenting exactly what was confirmed and promised and delivered to her and her husband, not that it made her any happier. In fact we have provided above and beyond what was promised to this couple supplying them at no additional cost with over 1,000 beautiful photographs of their wedding when we had only promised them 300. Our staff, at the Kauai Country Inn and at Kauai Island Weddings, went above & beyond to joyfully accommodate these guests, as we do with all of customers. You can see this from the many excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and hundreds of positive comments on our own website. However, we have learned over the years, that even though we try our hardest, we can not please everyone...

My wife and I stayed at Kauai Country Inn in our first visit to Kauai. We had come accross the inn through a recommendation in Frommer's. We were pleasantly surprised how nice our stay was. We rented the Plumeria Suite, which we and the staff consider it the best suite. It is spacious, beautifully decorated, has a jacuzzi and balcony and includes lot of "toys" for the guests including an Apple computer to use with free internet and a special digital photo device, multiple movies and books to watch and read, and games to play such as chess, checkers, monopoly and on and on it goes. The staff is so nice and efficient and helpful. The simple continental breakfast of pastries, oatmeal and coffee is just right for the perfect home setting of the Kauai Country Inn. And what a Beetles "museum" they have to to walk down memory lane as Mike gives you a tour of a lifetime and tells you facts of the Beetles many never knew. Best of all, the price of the stay is outstanding considering all you get and free parking and free fruit to pick from the grounds. The location is a quiet country setting perfect to hear the sounds of mutliple birds that is centrally located for easy access to each end of Kauai. As we moved to another island and are now staying in a high end resort, we miss our accommodations we had at Kauai Country Inn.

My fiance and I needed a place to stay for our wedding/honeymoon trip. We stayed in the Plumeria Suite and the Orchid Suite. Mike and Martina (Inn owners) were so helpful in our reservation process. They even made it possible to come a day early, which was a last minute add on to our reservation. We both liked the decor and it is clean. My parents stayed in Yellow Ginger room at the same time and loved it as well. The only room we did not see was the Green Rose room, but when 3 of the 4 are great, I have no doubt the 4th is the same. They were eco-friendly, but it didn't feel extreme. It was a fantastic balance. There is laundry, which was so nice to have in a crunch. We really liked having the computer (was new and in great working condition) and internet access. We used it extensively for our tourist outings. The big refrigerator was really nice to have as well. The also had several guide books located in the suites (yes, you get a bedroom, living room, private bath, and kitchen or kitchenette), which helped us out as well. It is centrally located on the island. The tropical rainforest was a nice escape from the traditional beach hotel- and so peaceful. It provided a much better experience of Kauai as a whole. The check in process was fantastic with the keys waiting for you in an envelope. You don't have to worry about paperwork or anything else when you arrive- just begin your vacation! We thought Mike and Martina were so friendly, helpful and genuinely cared about their business. It doesn't seem like they run the Inn for profits, but rather so visitors to the island have a great experience. They are so easy-going and good natured. It was great to just sit and talk with them. We hope to stay at Kauai Country Inn in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Kauai Country Inn. It was a real "home away from home". We stayed in both the cottage and the Plumeria Suite and loved them both. Our ten year old son was really enjoying the cottage and didn't want to leave when it was time to move into the Plumeria suite. One look at the suite and he said "Whoa, I was so wrong!". The inn is comfortable, very clean, and has everything you need. It was great to just get take out after a day at the beach and come "home" and relax. We can't wait to go back. We also really enjoyed our private viewing of the Beatles museum. We highly recommend this place as a base to view the island of Kauai - which truly is a paradise.

We came here, August 10, 2008. Nothing is as we expected. First, the hosts NEVER came to greet us. A note was left on the front door for us with a key and instructions to let ourselves in. The foyer was UNBEARABLLY HOT!!! No fan or air moving. The suite was quite spacious BUT hot, hot, hot. The room had not been opened up for us in anticipation of our arrival, and I went around turning on all of the ceiling fans myself, and opening the louvered glass windows (which were small). The ceiling fans are small, and ineffective at moving the air; 2 portable floor fans helped. I went to take a shower after a day at the beach and found one small dim bathroom light and the tub/shower had mold and mildew around the tub. The soap was a bar of Lever Soap :-( Asif this wasn't enough, there were geckos crawling everywhere!! This is no vacation!! The decor is not as nice as portrayed on their website. The furniture is old and wornout; and there are beenie babies, pictures of the Beatles, and fake, dusty flowers everywhere! This is a nightmare!! D and G Cleveland, Ohio

Our check in procedure at the Kauai Country Inn is simple: we always leave out instructions for guests to check themselves in any time after 3 PM. Most of our guests love this because they don't have to rush to meet us at a specific check-in time, and in addition there are no long lines nor are there any papers to fill in – it's quick and simple. Plus we have guests arrive any time between lunch time and midnight, and if you're arriving late, chances are all you want to do is get some rest. We apologize about the windows not having been opened which is something we normally do, this must have been an oversight by the housekeeper. The Lever Soap :-) , hey what can we say other than that we don't have any of the options available to mainland B&Bs in regards to pretty soaps and toiletries because shipping them 2,700 miles across the Pacific costs a small fortune. Most of the B&Bs on the islands make due with regular items readily available at our local supermarkets. The Kauai Country Inn has had several renovations and upgrades since 2008, and has just won 3 Awards this year alone (2013); the most distinguished being, having been voted the best Bed & Breakfast on Kauai, and the 4th best in the whole State of Hawaii. We realize everyone has different expectations and we're sorry the reviewers didn't appreciate our décor, but the photos on our website very accurately showcase the property.

NURSING DIAGNOSIS: Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction
related to:
trauma to the nerves or blood vessels during surgery;
blood accumulation and inflammation in the surgical area;
dislocation of the bone graft and/or internal fixation devices (if a fusion was performed);
excessive external pressure on the nerves or blood vessels associated with improper fit or application of stabilization device (e.g. cervical collar, back brace, corset).
Desired Outcome
The client will have usual or improved peripheral neurovascular function as evidenced by:
palpable peripheral pulses
capillary refill time less than 3 seconds
extremities warm and usual color
ability to flex and extend feet, toes, hands, and fingers
usual or improved reflexes, muscle tone, and sensation in extremities
no new or increased pain in extremities.
Nursing Actions and
Selected Purposes/Rationales
Assess for and report signs and symptoms of peripheral neurovascular dysfunction (check upper extremities after surgery on the cervical area and lower extremities after surgery on the lumbar area):
diminished or absent peripheral pulses
capillary refill time greater than 3 seconds
pallor, cyanosis, or coolness of extremities
inability to flex or extend feet, toes, hands, or fingers
diminished or absent reflexes in extremities
development of or increase in muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling in extremities
development of or increase in pain in extremities.
Implement measures
to reduce the risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction:
perform actions to reduce strain on the surgical area (see Postoperative Diagnosis 2, action b.1)
in order to prevent bleeding and subsequent hematoma formation in the surgical area and to reduce the risk for dislocation of the bone graft and/or internal fixation devices
if fusion was performed
maintain wound suction and patency of wound drain
to reduce the accumulation of blood in the surgical area and subsequently prevent increased pressure on nerves and blood vessels
apply stabilization device properly; notify orthotist if it appears to create excessive pressure on any area
administer corticosteroids (e.g. dexamethasone) if ordered
to reduce inflammation in the surgical area.
If signs and symptoms of peripheral neurovascular dysfunction occur:
assess for and correct improper body alignment and external cause of excessive pressure (e.g. tight or improperly applied stabilization device)
notify physician if signs and symptoms persist or worsen
prepare client for surgical intervention (e.g. evacuation of hematoma, repositioning of dislocated bone graft and/or internal fixation devices) if planned.

Acerca del libro
"365 days ago I started on a journey. I had just left behind a business that I had help start up and felt shattered. I had committed everything to it, moved cities, left my life behind; only to have it fall apart due to differences in opinions. I felt betrayed by it. I felt lost.
At that trying point in my life, I had a crazy idea that I wanted to write. The only problem was that I didn't know what to write about, so I began to devise an idea, it would become a commitment, a personal challenge; to write every day for an entire year...."

Paula Radcliffe has withdrawn from the London Marathon on 13 April because of a toe problem.
The 34-year-old Briton, who was aiming to win her fourth title, picked up the injury to her right foot when altitude training at her base in New Mexico.
"I am desperately disappointed that I have to pull out of this year's race," said Radcliffe.
"I love running in London and this race would have been the perfect test for me before the Olympic Games."
The current women's marathon world record-holder won the London event in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
Radcliffe described the injury as "minor" but wanted to be in the best shape for London.
"In marathon training there are no shortcuts and there is simply not enough time to be in the shape I want to be in to run well in London," she added.
"Now I must concentrate on being as well prepared as possible for Beijing."
BBC Radio 5 Live's athletics correspondent Mike Costello said Radcliffe had been serious about competing at this year's London showpiece.
"It was a surprise to some she even considered running in the marathon in this Olympic year - but she felt it would play an important part in her build up to Beijing," he stated.
"She also missed London in 2004 when her preparations before the Athens Games included track races over 5000m and 10,000m."
Race director David Bedford said he understood Radcliffe's reasons for pulling out.
"Of course, it is a major blow to lose Paula from this year's race but we realise that her priority in 2008 is to be in peak condition for the Olympic Games and we wish her all the best for a speedy return to full fitness," he said.
"Even without Paula we will still have a very strong international women's field on 13 April and I am sure the race will be as exciting as ever."
What are these?
