THE JAPANESE government is poised to reject proposals that foreign firms should be allowed to practise domestic law – dashing the hopes of US and UK firms based in Tokyo.
The committee set up by the government two years ago to examine the issue is due to make its final report at the end of this month.
But it is an open secret that it will recommend that the current ban on foreign firms employing local lawyers should remain in force.
The news has disappointed foreign lawyers who have been battling for a relaxation of the rules for almost two decades and who originally had high hopes of a favourable result.
Jonathan Inman, a partner at the Tokyo office of Linklaters & Paines who gave evidence to the committee on behalf of UK lawyers, said: "Because the government had agreed to look at the employment issue we were fairly confident that the committee would do something to allow bengoshi [members of the Japanese Bar] to be employed by foreign law firms."
But he said there had been several hints that the committee, whose members were mainly local lawyers, was preparing to take a hard line.
Andrew Grenville, partner at Clifford Chance's Tokyo office, added: "As it continued its deliberations, we heard rumours and began to feel less optimistic."
Foreign lawyers are also concerned that the focus of the review was too narrow. The committee was briefed to look only at the employment issue
Inman said: "The really big issue is whether or not partnership between bengoshi and foreign lawyers is allowed. Employment is not a satisfactory solution because nobody would want to be employed if they were not going to be able to become a partner."
Unsuccessful attempts – including a plea from the then Law Society president Tony Girling on a visit to Tokyo earlier this year – were made to persuade the committee to consider the partnership issue
Jonathan Goldsmith, international director at the Law Society, said the society would continue to put pressure on the Japanese to change the rules.
Other possible courses of action include making a direct approach to the Japanese prime minister or taking the matter further in trade negotiations.

Native Hawaiian Act: E Pluribus Unum No Longer?The National Center's Ryan Balis attended a Heritage Foundation event on the Hawaii sovereignty issue, and has sent along a summary for those who may be interested:
The Heritage Foundation held a luncheon Friday afternoon to discuss Senate bill S.147, the "Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act." The timing of the luncheon is critical because the Senate is expected to have floor debate on the contentious bill soon after the Memorial Day recess and may vote in early June.For those interested in more information: David Almasi and I wrote a paper on this last year, which can be accessed online here.
S.147, which is sponsored by Democratic Hawaii Senator Daniel Akaka, could be one of the most explosive issues of this Congress. Among its provisions: It would create a separate "Native Hawaiian governing entity," comprised of those of direct lineal decent of indigenous Hawaiians -- essentially establishing de facto sovereignty based on race.
As the Center for Security Policy's Frank Gaffney and others have observed, the estimated 400,000 Native Hawaiians (160,000 of whom live outside Hawaii) could opt to set up "a new Hawaiian monarchy and perhaps lead to the islands' secession from the Union."
On hand to discuss the Native Hawaiian bill were: Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN); Ramesh Ponnuru, senior editor at the National Review; and moderator Todd Gaziano director of the Heritage Foundation's Center for Legal and Judicial Studies.
Some highlights from the luncheon follow.
Sen. Alexander focused his presentation on the potential of S.147 to divide the country along race lines instead of uniting it: "The question this bill poses is very fundamental to the existence of our nation. It creates a new government based on race. Our Constitution guarantees just the opposite: equal opportunity without regard to race."
He added: America's "greatest accomplishment has been to turn all that diversity into one nation -- not based on race, not based on ancestry -- but primarily based upon a few founding principles which are found in our founding documents, our common language and our history as a country. That's it."
Instead of establishing a race-based nation within the United States, Alexander emphasized it is necessary to reinforce a sense of national identity. "Americans have always been proud of where they came from but prouder to be an American," he said. "Particularly in this globalizing world...we need to honor the ways that help this land of immigrants keep its national identity."
Ramesh Ponnuru added a word on how the idea of Native Hawaiian sovereignty is not analogous to recognized Native American tribal sovereignty in America. He explained, "Congress has recognized the sovereignty of those tribes rather than creating that sovereignty out of thin air." In other cases, the federal government has recognized tribal sovereignty "after demonstrating that they [the tribes] had formed a separate and distinct community that had exercised sovereignty for a long time."
However, the Native Hawaiian case fails on both the cultural and sovereignty counts, argued Ponnuru.
On the first test of a distinct community, "[Native Hawaiians] are not geographically separate. Native Hawaiians who live in Hawaii live in the same neighborhoods, go to the same stores, the same churches, the same schools as non-Native Hawaiians," said Ponnuru.
Similarly dubious, Ponnuru argued, is a sovereignty legacy in Hawaii. "There wasn't a purely race-based government in Hawaii even before 1893," which marked the end of the reign of Queen Lydia Liliuokalani, the island's last monarch. "The government included officials of many races. When Hawaii became a state, the sovereignty of the Native... race was certainly not recognized. The rhetoric of that time, the 1950s, was the rhetoric of the melting pot, not the rhetoric of racial separatism."

Medical Procedures You Don't Need
A friend of mine went to see his doctor. My friend was in good health but his doctor told him it might be a good idea to get a routine electrocardiogram (EKG-a test that measures the electrical signals in the heart) and a routine stress test (a test that by stressing the heart may disclose damage). The stress test showed that he might have some blockage in his heart and he was advised to undergo surgery. After the surgery, his kidneys failed, he had an acute gall bladder attack, he required over 20 blood transfusions and he still isn't back to his state of health before seeing the doctor. It was a medical procedure he didn't need. Sure, every now and then one of these unnecessary tests will turn up something important, but for every one like that, there are thousands that show nothing.
The American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation asked a number of the organizations that represent doctors in different specialties to recommend tests that were being performed on large numbers of people but that, except in certain circumstances, were unnecessary. This is what they came up with:
Routine EKGs and Stress Tests
People who are at low risk for heart disease are 10 times more likely to have a false positive result than a real problem, resulting in millions of unnecessary surgeries or other treatments, which can threaten life. If you have a risk factor such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and others the test may make sense, but if you are well without risk factors, don't let them do it to you.
Bone Scans for Women under 65 and Men Under 70
If you are a woman under 65 or a man under 70, a bone scan for osteoporosis is not needed unless you are a smoker, have used steroids, have low body weight, or have had a fracture. You may end up taking medication you don't need, worrying needlessly about your bones and taking medications with serious side effects.
Antibiotics for Mild or Moderate Sinus Infections
Most sinus infections (over 90%) are caused by a virus and do not respond to antibiotics. You may be allergic to the antibiotic or develop a resistance to that antibiotic when you need it later. If your infection lasts more than 7 days or becomes bacterial, you may need an antibiotic.
Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Painkillers (NSAIDS) like Advil or Motrin for People with Heart Failure, High Blood Pressure or Chronic Kidney Disease
In these types of patients the NSAIDS, used for arthritis or headache, may raise the blood pressure, worsen the heart failure or increase the kidney failure. They can also cause bleeding in the stomach. People with these conditions have twice as many deaths from heart attacks and strokes when given those drugs.
CT Scans or MRIs for Uncomplicated Headaches
Not only is the test wasteful because it rarely shows anything important, but the radiation exposure is harmful. Doctors may be concerned about malpractice should something turn up later. It almost never does. If you have symptoms like blurred vision, trouble speaking or weakness on one side of your body, it may be helpful.
Allergy Testing
A blood test called immunoglobulin for food allergies does not work. If positive, it simply means that your immune system is working. Also doing a large battery of blood and skin tests for seasonal allergies is not necessary. Taking a careful history of the allergies from the patient will narrow the tests to just a few.
X-ray, CT scan or MRI for Low Back Pain
Most patients with low back pain get better regardless of the treatment. The patient does not need the exposure to radiation and the expensive back surgery that doesn't cure the problem. If the doctor suspects that you have a serious condition, then these tests are indicated.

Doubts about the future strength of the iron ore price and its effect on
The steelmaker boosted its iron ore export target to between 8 million and 9 million tonnes this financial year but analysts have warned China's growth might not accelerate enough to bolster flailing ore prices until next calendar year.
ANZ strategist Nicholas Trevethan said fears about Europe's ongoing debt woes meant Chinese businesses were not confident enough to restock large volumes of raw materials as is typical in the fourth quarter.
"Chinese metals consumers are very cautious when it comes to export orders, especially from Europe," Mr Trevethan said. "They buy only what they need to fulfil those orders on an almost daily basis. We're not expecting to see a pick-up in Chinese activity until late in the first quarter or into the second quarter of 2013."
Arrium shares on Friday surpassed the 75¢ offer price tabled by the consortium known as Steelmakers Australia, which includes Korean giant Posco and Singapore-listed commodities trader Noble Group, indicating investors believe there will be a higher offer. The stock's rise to 80¢ implies an enterprise value of more than $3 billion. Before the offer was revealed, Arrium had a $770 million market capitalisation.
The decision to bring forward iron ore output could boost Arrium's near-term net present value, given iron ore prices are likely to trend lower over the coming years.
The federal government has lifted a ban on access to the sensitive Woomera Prohibited Area, clearing a hurdle for Steelmakers Australia's bid for Arrium. Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board is in charge of reviewing any application to purchase assets in the region, where Arrium operates the Peculiar Knob iron ore mine.

text: Hey folks :) I've been lurking about for a bit and finally had a question to post. So, I am using two systems with pbs_server --ha and a shared NFS mount for /var/spool/torque/server_priv. In my testing, I bring down the primary server by pulling the power plug. Unfortunately, the secondary server does not pick up and become the primary pbs_server. Is this because /var/spool/torque/server_priv/server.lock is not removed when the primary server has a critical failure? So, I tried removing the server.lock file, but the secondary pbs_server --ha instance never picks up and becomes primary. What is the trigger to activate a passive pbs_server --ha? Any advice is appreciated. Regards, -- Victor Gregorio Penguin Computing

The Hitman games have been headed in a logical direction over the past few years. A simple stealth-em-up formula that has been, for the most part, working. Then a game like Hitman GO comes out and changes the playing field entirely. It was a risky swing, but Hitman GO knocks it out of the park, and makes it look easy.
Hitman GO takes the fast-paced stealth-and-shoot world of the series and scales it down to a board game. Predetermined paths are laid out on the board and enemies are replaced by pieces. Your goal is to navigate through the dangerous puzzles of guards that each have different methods for hunting down Agent 47. Each enemy is marked clearly by distinctive figurines.
Hitman GO features several stages, each containing 15 levels. Each stage is very aesthetically different than the last which lends visual variety to the game, something so many mobile games lack. You'll go through a sunny resort, a nighttime ball, and even a reimagining of the opera level from Hitman: Blood Money.
Along with a change of setting, new stages add new mechanics, such as disguises, new guards, and more tricks for Agent 47 to employ. Just when you think you've perfected your technique, Hitman GO throws something unexpected into the mix to challenge players.
The game's simple set of rules lends itself to complex gameplay that unfolds before the player completely organically from start to finish. You won't find a single forced tutorial in Square Enix Montreal's meticulously planned hit of a game.
The only thing lacking in Hitman GO is more. I was able to beat the game in a few extended sittings and go back and complete almost every bonus objective in a few more. The game promises new levels in the future, but so far no date or price point has been set.

In A. Lentin, ed., Death of the Old Regime. Milton Keynes: Open University Press, 2003. (Teaching text.)
These are two chapters, one on Hume and the second on Rousseau and Sade, within the Open University course A207 From Enlightenment to Romanticism. They contextualize and draw out the argumentative structure of four philosophical essays on religion written between 1755 and 1794.
Two essays by Hume – 'Of Immortality of the Soul' and 'Of Suicide', both suppressed in his time – criticize the natural religion popular in the Enlightenment. Rousseau's 'Profession of Faith of a Savoyard Priest' signalled a shift away from Enlightenment norms of reason towards a more personalized response to religion, a response grounded in sentiment. Sade's short dialogue, 'The Priest and the Dying Man', is a one-sided smorgasbord of anti-religious arguments from an old atheist asked on his death bed to confess his sins.
The essays themselves have been edited and collected in Carmen Lavin and Ian Donnachie, eds., From Enlightenment to Romanticism: Anthology, Vol 1. Manchester University Press, 2003.

Data Sheet
Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel
Deployed in the wiring closet, the Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel provides Fast Ethernet enhancements needed for multiservice networking while preserving customer investments in existing Catalyst® switch equipment.
The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel extends the features and functionality of the award-winning Catalyst family of switches.
Inline Power
The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel enables inline power for Cisco multiservice enabled Catalyst switches. This product supports a new feature called inline power. Inline power is 48-volt DC power provided over standard Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable up to 100 meters. Instead of requiring wall power, terminal devices such as IP telephones can utilize power provided from the Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel. This capability gives the network administrator centralized power control, which translates into greater network availability. By deploying Catalyst gear with uninterruptable-power-supply (UPS) systems in secured wiring closets, network administrators can ensure that building power outages will not affect network telephony connections.
The inline power feature will work over a customer's existing Category 5 UTP installations. The Catalyst inline power implementation passes the required domestic and international safety regulations and compliance measures. These modules are fully compliant with the 802.3 standard when no inline power is supplied. The 802.3 standard does not include specifications for providing power over the Ethernet. This omission will be amended by the 802.3af task force currently under way in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Cisco is committed to standards-based operation and will support the IEEE in its efforts to add Ethernet power specifications to the 802.3 Ethernet standard.
Phone Discovery
The Cisco phone discovery feature eases the network management burden by automating the inline power feature. With phone discovery, the Catalyst Inline Powered Patch Panel automatically detects the presence of an IP phone and supplies inline power. This means that network administrators can maintain centralized control without the need to manually enable each port to supply inline power. The phone discovery mechanism is intelligent enough to differentiate between an IP phone and a network interface card (NIC), and will not supply inline power to a NIC or other device not designed to use inline power. Network administrators can depend upon automatic and centralized control of inline power that is safe to deploy and maintain.
Flexible Form Factor
Each Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel supports up to 48 users. Multiple Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panels can be deployed in a wiring closet to support more users. All the interfaces are accessible from the front, ideal placement for network administrators who manage wiring-closet connections. To support 48 users, the Inline Power Patch Panel provides 96 RJ-45 ports, 48 ports to connect with Catalyst switch ports, and 48 ports to connect with the end stations or terminal devices. Figure 1 shows an example of the Inline Power Patch Panel used without a traditional RJ-45 patch panel.
Figure 1: Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel used without a traditional RJ-45 path panel.
The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel can also work in conjunction with the existing patch-panel configuration (see Figure 2). Ethernet terminals use pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 for data transmission, and the Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel does not access or insert power into these wire pairs. The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel acts as a normal patch panel for Ethernet connections that do not require inline power, ensuring reliable performance by keeping unneeded circuitry out of these normal patch-panel connections. The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel provides power only on the unused Fast Ethernet pins 4, 5, 7, and 8. Network administrators can count on reliable power distribution that will not interfere with network operations that do not require inline power.
Plug and Play
Fast installation requires no special tools or training. No configuration is necessary for the Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel. The phone discovery mechanism is on by default, and it automatically detects phones and supplies inline power. The rugged, self-contained design ensures reliable everyday performance. Its compact size, only two rack units (RUs) high, allows easy rack mounting and preserves valuable space in the wiring closet.

About Me
I have been a wardrobe and hand prop stylist for five years. I do it because I adore the process of putting a look together while bringing a photographers vision to life. I also enjoy the creative process of creating props, and pulling wardrobe around a theme. I am creative, yet, very organized. I organize everything down to the smallest thing I can, so inevitably when the chaos starts I can be as prepared as possible.
I style models, kids and the occasional celebrity. I am not on MM very much, I find if I spend time on here, my kids won't get fed, I'll be so far gone into the amazing talented work on here!
Before "officially" styling, I could be found hanging out in the wardrobe department of a TV show I worked on, Star Trek Voyager. I would watch as they took my favorite Blue metallic leather and transformed it into some sort of fabulous Borg Costume. I don't generally work for "TF" shoots, unless you are mad talented and there is a killer team in place. Thanks so much for taking a look at my page, all the best to you.

"Am I dyslexic?" is a question that's often asked by someone who may have failed a screening test, or perhaps an adult looking back over his or her childhood and wondering just why it was so difficult to learn.
I created http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/ to provide the best general information on dyslexia online. In order to support the website I am starting an online tutoring business for highly motivated dyslexic high school and college students, using an innovative new approach based on the latest research in neural science, which was presented at the International Dyslexia Association, New York City Branch, in 2006.
In order to get a better idea about the capability of the online tutoring service I am offering, please visit the fallowing website:

Please take a minute to view the video.
Please give me your feedback regarding the video and if you know any motivated dyslexic high school or college student's that could use my special assistance, please visit me at the fallowing website:
Information on how we can help.
Filling out the form on the right side of the webpage, below my picture entitles a student to a free one-hour diagnostic session.
One of the most prominent symptoms for the condition is the inability to read, or difficulty learning to read. However, it's important to remember that each person displays the symptoms of this brain-based learning disability in a different way, so your symptoms may be very different from others.
Who is going to tell someone that they're dyslexic? The first signs of the condition occur, in most people, in grade school, generally in the lower grades, as a student learns to read and write. A classroom teacher is often the first person to mention the potential of a learning disability to parents.
Parents, too, can spot signs of the condition when they notice that their otherwise bright child is struggling with reading at a significant level.
Once there's some idea that there could be a problem, seeking out a family doctor is the first step. This health professional can then conduct screenings to learn more about the child's potential for having dyslexia or another form of learning disability.
Being dyslexic is not something that's obvious in most situations. However, people often are able to spot the symptoms for the condition in every day behavior and learning patterns. From there, a health care provider can further determine if the condition is, in fact, present, and can conduct more tests.
These are some of the most common symptoms of the condition:
It is possible for an adult to notice these small differences in day-to-day life, but generally it's the adult who's able to put all of these pieces together and make the connection to dyslexia. Am I dyslexic? The only way to really know is through further testing.

Iron ore developer
WPG will spend some $170 million to bring the project into production, and construction is expected to take about 10 months.
WPG's executive chairman
"We are expecting first sales to commence late in the current financial year," he said.
The project's iron ore will be shipped to steel mills in North Asia where it will be blended with lower-grade iron ore.
The project is 770 kilometres north-west of Adelaide and 90 kilometres south-east of Coober Pedy, a much greater distance from Asian customers than mines in Australia's iron ore heartland,the Pilbara in Western Australia.
Shipments of iron ore from the Pilbara to customers in North Asia typically cost about $8 a tonne.
In comparison, shipments from Peculiar Knob are likely to cost about $12 a tonne.
But Mr Duffin said the project's relative isolation was "irrelevant" given the quality of the export product.
"New mines in the Pilbara are identifying iron grades of as little as 55 per cent at new deposits," he said. "We can attract a premium for this quality of product."
The project will produce 3.3 million tonnes of high-grade iron ore fines for at least six years based on known resources and reserves.
Mr Duffin said the Peculiar Knob project will draw in more than $1 billion worth of surplus revenues over the six-year life of the mine, based on current prices for iron ore fines.
Iron ore fines with 62 per cent iron content are currently fetching about $US170 a tonne on the spot market.
But the size of annual exports could swell if a new iron ore mine is approved by the commonwealth government.
WPG Resources plans to develop its Buzzard iron ore project in the Woomera Prohibited Area after the commonwealth announced that mining and military activities can co-exist there.
The Buzzard project could extend the project's life to more than 10 years.
Pre-stripping works at the Peculiar Knob mine will cost about $30 million.
The remaining capital expenditure, about $140 million, will be evenly spent between development at the mine site and at Port Pirie, on the shores of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia.

Japanese monks take Buddha to the pub
Fashion statement: Monks and nuns hold a fashion parade in Tokyo to promote Buddhism and, they hope, spread Buddha's message to a sceptical audience.
Photo: AP
DRESSED in dark cotton robes, a bracelet of prayer beads hanging from his wrist, Gugan Taguchi certainly looks the part. But as he kneels to chant a sutra before an altar in the corner of the room, the people around him continue to chat and his rhythmic prayers can only just be heard above a Blue Note jazz track.
Minutes later, Taguchi is back in his seat, glass in hand. A bottle of rum sits on the bar in front of him, next to a half-filled ashtray as his tobacco smoke mingles with the aroma of incense.
Some of his peers may disapprove of his methods, but amid a dramatic decline in interest in Buddhism among young Japanese, Taguchi is prepared to go almost anywhere to reach out to the sceptics, including to the Bozu (monks) bar in Tokyo.
"I can understand why younger people aren't attracted to Buddhism," says Taguchi, 46, a former office worker from Hokkaido, who turned to the priesthood after his sight became impaired in his late 20s.
"Most priests are getting on, and I'm not sure young people want their advice. I'm happy to come here and listen to people talk about anything they like. It's up to them if they decide whether to heed my advice."
In the days ahead, millions of Japanese will visit Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples to mark the arrival of the Year of the Rat. For many, this will be the only contact they have with their spiritual roots for the entire year.
More than 1200 years after its arrival in Japan from mainland Asia, Buddhism is in crisis. About three-quarters of Japan's 127 million people describe themselves as Buddhists, but New Year apart, many see the inside of a temple only when a local head priest is asked to arrange a traditional (and expensive) funeral for a dead relative.
As a result, public donations are drying up and many of the country's 75,000 temples are in financial trouble. Applications to Buddhist universities have fallen so dramatically that several schools have dropped the religious association from their titles.
Bozu's owner, Yoshinobu Fujioka, a Buddhist priest who can also mix a decent cocktail for those in search of a quicker path to nirvana, says that Japan's mainstream sects must shed their conservative image to broaden their appeal.
"There was a time when people would go to their local temple for advice on all sorts of problems, not just spiritual matters," said Fujioka, 31, who belongs to the Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land) sect. "This bar is just the same, a place where people can come and talk freely about their problems."
Being served sake by a priest is just one of the novel ways in which sceptical Japanese are being encouraged to get in touch with their spiritual roots.
Baijozan Komyoji temple in Tokyo has opened an outdoor cafe in front of its main hall, and in Kyoto, Zendoji temple operates a beauty salon.
At Club Chippie, a jazz lounge in Tokyo, the saxophone makes way for Sanskrit once a month as three shaven-headed monks wearing robes chant sutras and encourage bemused customers to join in.
Recently, dozens of Buddhist monks and nuns took to the catwalk in colourful silk robes as part of a public relations exercise at Tsukiji Honganji temple in Tokyo.
The event, called Tokyo Bouz Collection, opened with a Buddhist prayer said to a hip-hop beat and ended in a blur of confetti shaped like lotus petals.
"Many priests share the sense of crisis and the need to do something to reach out to people," said Kosuke Kikkawa, 37, a priest who helped organise the event.
"We won't change Buddha's teachings, but perhaps we need to present things differently so that they touch the feelings of people today."
Taguchi believes that the pressures of modern life mean Buddhism's message is as relevant as it ever was.
"These days there is constant pressure to appear happy, and to keep fulfilling your desires to stay that way," he said. "You could easily get the impression that people don't need advice from priests, but that's not the case.
"Everyone experiences times when they're not at their best, when things don't go according to plan."

The return of key players in the second half of the season has given Richmond confidence and a belief it was possible to make the finals, half-back Ricky Petterd said on Tuesday morning.
The Tigers have won six on the trot - against St Kilda, Brisbane, Port Adelaide, West Coast, Greater Western Sydney and Essendon - with their win against the Bombers on Friday perhaps the pick of them. It was the first time they have strung together such a streak since 1995.
Speaking at the club's Punt Road training base ahead of this weekend's mini-final against Adelaide in Adelaide, Petterd said morale was high.
"It's pretty exciting to win six games any time of the year," he said. "It's pretty good to have that sort of morale around the club.
Petterd admitted to feeling huge pressure when the team was down earlier in the season.
"We knew we had some good footy in us, we just had to get some players back," he said.
Petterd nominated talismanic ruckman Ivan Maric - only recently returned after an injury layoff - as the most important player to come back into the team and said he had been a huge part of the Tigers' revival.
"Early in the year, we lost a few important players and having them back gives us confidence," he said, also highlighting the return of Brett Deledio and Alex Rance.
"The Tigers were always under the spotlight... More so than anyone else," he said, but added that he believed the team was playing better football than last year, despite being in a worse position on the ladder.
"It would be massive to plays finals footy, but we can't look beyond this weekend against Adelaide," he said. "The boys are looking forward to playing at Adelaide Oval."
Petterd said tagger Daniel Jackson was back training and might be a chance to be named in the side this week.
Richmond plays St Kilda at the MCG and Sydney at the SCG in the final two rounds of the home and away season.

Adam Hamilton has me considering contentment. Last Friday, I wrote about a chapter in his book Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity (Abingdon, 2009/12). In "Cultivating Contentment" (ch. 3), Hamilton calls us to develop a sense of contentment in our lives, being satisfied with what we have rather than always striving for more stuff. [Read More…]

The International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD), sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago in July 2008, attracted more than 5,400 researchers, physicians, and advocates seeking a better understanding of the complex neurodegenerative disorder. Through some 2,000 plenary, symposium, oral, and poster presentations, ICAD offered a forum to explore and advance the science behind Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. NIA, the world's leading funder of AD research, supported much of the work reported at the conference, in areas ranging from drug and non-pharmacological intervention trials and neuroimaging to genetics, basic cellular and molecular research, and social and behavioral issues. Private-sector efforts were presented as well, with several studies built on a foundation laid out by federally supported work.
"ICAD presentations included an array of new drugs in the pipeline that look promising, as well as drugs that have been used for other diseases and disorders. It also included reports on advances in biomarkers and new approaches to the clinical treatment of Alzheimer's," says Dr. Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad, director of NIA's Division of Neuroscience. "But the meeting also highlighted the challenges facing researchers, from fully understanding Alzheimer's basic pathology to designing and conducting clinical trials when physical changes in the brain take place decades before symptoms appear."
Drug investigators continue to target beta-amyloid protein (a protein found in clumps or plaques in the brains of people with AD) in their search for therapies to slow or stop the progression of AD.
The following industry-sponsored trials were reported at ICAD:
New potential drug treatments are aiming at diverse targets, such as tau protein aggregates, which form tangles in the brains of people with AD; the healthy functioning of mitochondria; and the loss of synapses (areas where electrical impulses pass from one neuron to another) in AD patients.
Some researchers are focused on methods to identify biomarkers (physical characteristics that indicate the presence of a disease or condition)-from simple blood tests to imaging techniques-that may improve diagnosis of AD in its earliest stages and improve treatment.
Physical inactivity and mental inactivity are associated with cognitive decline. Now researchers are using imaging and other methods to demonstrate that lifestyle changes and exercise can improve the quality of life for AD patients.

Community Planning
Zoning Map Amendments
What is a Zoning Map Amendment?
What do I do first?
Who may file?
What do I need to do to file an application?
Are there any fees and what do they cover?
What is the process after an application is filed?
Planning Commission
City Council
What happens if my project is denied?
When does the approved Zoning Map Amendment become effective?
A Zoning Map Amendment is a procedure to amend the official zoning map of the City by changing the boundaries of any zoning district. A zoning boundary cannot be changed if it conflicts with the objectives and policies of the General Plan, the blueprint for development in the City. Information regarding the General Plan is available in the Planning and Development Department, Community Planning Section at 175 North Garfield Avenue or by calling (626) 744-4206.
Zones, or zoning districts, provide the mechanism through which Zoning Map Amendments can occur. They are established by the City through adoption of the Zoning Ordinance to protect the public from harmful, inappropriate or conflicting uses. Zones are designed to implement the General Plan by ensuring those who live and work in the city that the stability and character of the community will be preserved.
The General Plan provides for objectives and policies to ensure that these goals will be met. In addition to regulating use of property, the Zoning Ordinance also provides standards for building size and setbacks, height of structures, density of population and lot area.
Consult the staff in the Community Planning Section if you are interested in applying for a Planned Development District. A planner will help you find out the zoning and General Plan designations of the project site. You will be provided information on the City's land use regulations and objectives and policies of the General Plan. The Planner will also help you understand the City's review and approval procedure, and assist you with the application process. The planner will discuss the importance of meeting with the neighborhood that will be affected by your proposal.
A meeting to discuss your project with the surrounding neighborhood is required before you submit a formal application. You are encouraged to seek comments from the residents and work with them to resolve any conflicts on the design of your project, traffic, noise, use of the site or any impacts specifically related to your project. The City's Neighborhood Connections office and the Community Planning Section can provide you with further assistance to help you conduct and effective meeting.
Unless otherwise waived, all applicants are requested to go through a Pre-Development Plan Review (PPR). The primary purpose of this step is to familiarize you with City regulations and concerns of City departments. Zoning Map Amendments which are not accompanied by a specific development project may not be required to go through CPR and may be directly submitted to the Community Planning Section for processing. Contact the Current Planning staff at 175 North Garfield Avenue for further information about Pre-Development Plan Review.
Any one of the following may file a Zoning Map Amendment:
The property owner.
The authorized agent in writing.
The Planning Commission.
The City Council.
You can obtain application forms from the Community Planning Section at 175 North Garfield Avenue, or by mail by calling (626) 744-4206. The complete application submittal consists of the following:
General Information Application and Supplemental Application
Notification Materials
Environmental Assessment Form.
A map showing location, street address and the assessor's parcel number of the property that is the subject of the amendment, and surrounding properties within 300 feet of the project site.
Minutes of the Pre-Development Plan Review meeting, or proof of waiver.
There is a flat fee to cover the cost of processing your application as well as additional fees for environmental review. Depending on whether or not your project needs a more extensive environmental review, there may be additional fees. The fees are reviewed yearly and may be adjusted by the City Council. Consult a planner in the Community Planning Section for further details on specific application deposits and fees.
After we have received your application for a Zoning Map Amendment, the Community Planning staff will determine if the application is complete. Staff will complete the review of the application within 30 days after you have filed the application. If your application is deemed incomplete, staff will send a letter to you detailing a list of items necessary to complete the application. Once your application is deemed complete, you will be notified, and the Community Planning staff will prepare the environmental review.
In addition to your discussing the project with the neighborhood, the Community Planning Section will hold a neighborhood meeting on your project after you file a formal application. This is to ensure that issues important to the neighborhood have been identified and addressed. If any unresolved new issues arise that need to be mediated between you and the neighborhood, the Community Planning Section will hold additional meetings.
Depending on the nature of your development project, additional reviews may be necessary. If you are proposing a specific development project to accompany your Zoning Map Amendment request, it may be required to go through Design Review and/or Historic Preservation Review. See a planner in Design & Historic Preservation at 175 North Garfield Avenue.
Following the neighborhood meetings, a staff report is prepared on your proposed Zoning Map Amendment, including a review of the required environmental documentation; an analysis of the planning issues including a discussion of the consistency of the project with objectives and policies of the General Plan; the neighborhood meetings; and a recommendation based on the staff analysis and public input.
Once the report is completed, the Community Planning staff will notice a public hearing before the Planning Commission. At the Planning Commission hearing, the staff will make a brief presentation and then you will be given an opportunity to comment on the project. An opportunity will then be given to citizens to speak in favor or opposition and/or simply comment on the project. Following this segment of the public hearing, you will be offered a final opportunity to speak to the Planning Commission.
At the conclusion of the hearing the Planning Commission can either recommend approval of the proposed project, continue the project until further information is presented, modify the project or deny the project. In addition, the Planning Commission can modify the staff recommendation on the proposed project. If the project is approved, staff will schedule it for a noticed public hearing before the City Council following the Planning Commission hearing.
The City Council meeting will also be noticed. At the hearing, public testimony will again be received in the same manner it was received before the Planning Commission. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council will make the final decision on your project. The City Council can either approve the project with or without modifications, continue the project until further information is presented, refer the project back to the Planning Commission for further review, or deny the project.
If your project is denied by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission is the final decision making body unless the project is "called up" for review by the City Council (PMC 17.104). If your project is denied, no new application for the same or substantially the same Zoning Map Amendment can be accepted within one year of the date of denial (PMC 17.100.090).
Zoning Map Amendments are adopted by Ordinance. The City Attorney will prepare the Ordinance after the City Council takes action on the proposed project. Then, the City Clerk will place the ordinance on the City Council agenda for first and second reading. After the second reading, the Ordinance is published in a newspaper of general circulation and becomes effective 30 days following publication.

A Zimbabwean opposition party has criticized President Robert Mugabe for accepting an allegedly illegal $1 million campaign donation pledged by Libyan leader Muammar Kadhafi.
Kadhafi, who was in Zimbabwe two weeks ago, pledged well over $900 000 in campaign funds for the election next year, in addition to an extra $360 million to end Zimbabwe's current fuel crisis.
The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) secretary for legal affairs, David Coltart, was quoted by Allafrica news agency as saying that if Mughabe's ruling party, Zanu PF, accepted Kadhafi's donation, it would be breaking the law.
The controversial Political Parties (Finance) Act passed earlier this year at the instigation of Zanu PF legislators prohibits foreign funding for political parties, said the news service.
"No political party or candidate shall accept any foreign donation, whether directly from the donor or indirectly through a third person. Furthrmore, "... any donation accepted by a member of a political party shall be deemed to have been accepted by the political party unless the member willfully fails to disclose such donation to the political party," the act stipulates.
"This is yet another example of Zanu PF's hypocrisy. They pass a law, which we said was directed at undermining the MDC. They had never worried about foreign funding before and their intention all along was to undermine the MDC. They are now breaking their own law," said Coltart.
But Zanu PF's secretary for legal affairs, Patrick Chinamasa, denied there had been any donation, contrary to news widely reported in the national and international media when the pledge was made.
"I am not aware of any such pledge. It would be illegal because of the act. Where did you hear of the donation?" said Chinamasa, who is also the minister of justice, legal and parliamentary affairs.
The party's deputy secretary for finance, Solomon Tawengwa, also said he was not aware of the donation by Kadhafi.
"I am not involved in it, I really don't know about that money," he told the agency.
The two countries have agreed on a deal expected to end the energy crisis in the Sub-Saharan country, under which Libya will supply Zimbabwe with oil in return for Zimbabwean products – Albawaba.com

Cultural Cringe, in cultural studies and social anthropology, is an internalized inferiority complex which causes people in a country to dismiss their own culture as inferior to the cultures of other countries. It is closely related, although not identical, to the concept of colonial mentality, and is often linked with the display of anti-intellectual attitudes towards thinkers, scientists and artists who originate from a colonial or post-colonial nation. It can also be manifested in individuals in the form of 'Cultural alienation'. In many cases, "cultural cringe", or an equivalent term, is an accusation made by a fellow-national, who decries the inferiority complex and asserts the merits of the national culture.
The term Cultural Cringe was coined after the Second World War by the Melbourne critic and social commentator A. A. Phillips, and defined in an influential and highly controversial 1950 essay of the same name.[1] It explored ingrained feelings of inferiority that local intellectuals struggled against, and which were most clearly pronounced in the Australian theatre, music, art and letters. The implications of these insights potentially applied to all former colonial nations, and the essay is now recognised as a cornerstone in the development of Post colonial theory in Australia.
In essence, Phillips pointed out that the public widely assumed that anything produced by local dramatists, actors, musicians, artists and writers was necessarily deficient when compared against the works of the British and European counterparts. In the words of the poet Chris Wallace-Crabbe (quoted by Peter Conrad[2]), Australia was being made to rhyme with failure. The only ways local arts professionals could build themselves up in public esteem was either to follow overseas fashions, or, more often, to spend a period of time working in Britain.
In some professions this ingrained attitude heavily affected employment opportunities. British- or European-born applicants would be given preferential treatment when applying for jobs, with only those Australians who had worked in London being treated as worthy of appointment or promotion. In this way the Cultural Cringe caused, during the early to mid 20th century, the exodus to Britain of so many young talented Australians across a broad range of fields, from the Arts to even the Sciences.[3][4] They had to spend time working there to advance in their own fields back home. The Cultural Cringe also was responsible for many former Britons holding senior positions in Australia's public sector.
Much of this could be readily applied to many former colonial nations. Dealing specifically with Australia, Phillips pointed out that sport has been the only field in which ordinary people accepted that their nation was able to perform and excell internationally. Indeed, while they prided themselves on the qualities of locally produced athletes and sportsmen, whom they invariably considered first rate, Australians behaved as if in more intellectual pursuits the nation generated only second-rate talent. The Cultural Cringe might therefore be seen as contributing to a strong strand of anti-intellectualism that has underpinned public life in Australia.[5]
Cultural alienationEdit
The Cultural Cringe is tightly connected with 'Cultural alienation', that is, the process of devaluing or abandoning one's own culture or cultural background. A person who is culturally alienated places little value on their own or host culture, and instead hungers for that of a - sometimes imposed - colonising nation.[6] [7] The post-colonial theorists Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin link alienation with a sense of dislocation or displacement some peoples (especially those from immigrant cultures) will feel when they look to a distant nation for their values.[6] [8] Culturally alienated societies often exhibit a weak sense of cultural self-identity and place little worth on themselves. The most common manifestation of this alienation among peoples from post-colonial nations at present is an appetite for all things American, from television and music, to clothing, slang, even names. Culturally alienated individuals will also exhibit little knowledge or interest in the history of their host society, placing no real value on such matters.[6]
The issue of Cultural alienation has lead the Australian sociologists Brian Head and James Walter to interpret the Cultural Cringe as the belief that one's own country occupies a "subordinate cultural place on the periphery", and that "intellectual standards are set and innovations occur elsewhere".[9] As a consequence, a person who holds this belief is inclined to devalue their own country's cultural, academic and artistic life, and to venerate the "superior" culture of another (colonising) country.
A more sophisticated approach to the issues raised by the Cultural Cringe, as felt by artistic practitioners in former colonies around the world, was developed and advanced by the Australian art historian Terry Smith in his essay 'The Provincialism Problem'[10].
In AustraliaEdit
Some commentators claim the Cultural Cringe particularly affects local television programming in Australia[11], which is heavily influenced by imported shows, mainly of American origin. The Federal government has legislated to keep a quota of Australian content (Australian Content Standard and Television Program Standard 23).
The term Cultural Cringe is most commonly used in Australia, where it is believed by some to be a fact of Australian cultural life.[12] In Another Look at the Cultural Cringe[9], the Australian academic Leonard John Hume examined the idea of cultural cringe as an oversimplification of the complexities of Australian history and culture. His controversial essay argues that "The cultural cringe ... did not exist, but it was needed, and so it was invented." This need is demonstrated by its frequent use to deflect criticism of almost anything, on the grounds that the critic is suffering from the cringe.
Many prominent Australians, such as Germaine Greer and Barry Humphries despite their obvious love for the country, have confessed to living overseas due to the effects of cultural cringe.[13] When Cultural cringe is applied to prominent Australian personalities, it is often mistaken as another Australian cultural phenomenon known as Tall poppy syndrome.[14][15]
Some argue that a form of cultural cringe resulted in anti-heritage attitudes resulting in the demolition of many world class pre-war buildings in Melbourne and Sydney, despite Australian cities having some of the world's best examples of Victorian architecture.[16] Modernism was promoted to many Australians as casting off imperial Europe to rebuild a new independent identity and the existing pre-war architecture, which were a feature of Australian cities, was somewhat insignificant.[17] This resulted in many calls to demolish the Royal Exhibition Building, labelled the derogatory term White Elephant. Ironically, it was not until Queen Elizabeth II granted the building Royal status that Australians began to recognise its value. The building became the first in Australia to be given World Heritage status[18]. The reverse can also be said, that local architects are shunned for introduced styles.[19]
It has also been claimed that cultural cringe has led to federal government information technology contracts going to large foreign multinationals rather than domestic IT companies.[20]
Significantly, elements in the Australian media have in recent decades twisted the meaning of the Cultural Cringe, trying to apply it to feelings of embarrassment about the supposed gaucheness of Australian culture and society. It will often be referred to in this way within media discussions of Australian suburban ideals and the Australian Dream.
In IrelandEdit
Ireland's historical relationship with Britain has produced tensions between the (forced or voluntary) adoption of many British cultural practices during the long period of English and British polical hegemony, and the desire of Irish nationalism to assert Irishness as being distinct from any British identity. One symptom is the epithet "West Brit" applied by one Irish person to another who is felt to adopt excessively the mannerisms of the British (specifically, the English).[21] Many of the distinctive features of Hiberno-English are discouraged as nonstandard. Conversely, those who continually assert the execellence of Irish culture may be derided by others as blinded to its faults by chauvinism.
Ireland's emigrant communties may also have developed different relationships with Irish culture from those living within Ireland. The Irish tourist industry often emphasises aspects of Irish culture which some within Ireland consider stereotypical and either obsolete or fabricated; such as Irish dancing, leprechauns, Aran sweaters, Irish pubs, or thatched cottages. Visiting emigrants, typically Irish Americans, who take pride in such symbols may be labelled "plastic Paddies" by those within Ireland, and seen as not truly Irish, but rather engaged in cultural appropriation.
In CanadaEdit
Many cultural commentators in Canada[22] have also suggested that a similar process operates in that country as well. The specific phrase "cultural cringe" is not widely used to label the phenomenon in Canada, although it has been used in isolated instances; more typically, Canadian cultural commentators speak of a "Canadian inferiority complex" [23], or label specific instances of the phenomenon with satirical terms such as beaver hour.
Prior to the 1970s, Canadian radio stations gave almost no airtime to Canadian music, and apart from CBC Television, Canadian television stations spent very little money on Canadian-produced programming. The CRTC adopted Canadian content regulations to resolve this, although even today such regulation is still criticized by some Canadians as representing inappropriate government interference in the right of Canadians to choose "superior" American entertainment.
Similarly, English Canadian film has an extremely difficult time garnering an audience in Canada.
In addition, it has also been claimed that some segments of Quebec society experience cultural cringe in relation both to the rest of Canada and to France. Some have proposed that Quebec sovereignty is a necessary step toward resolving this. (See section in Colonial mentality.)
In other countriesEdit
Other examples include the claimed cringes of New Zealand [24], Scotland (see Scottish cringe) [25] and the Jewish people (see Self-hating Jew).
South African novelist Deon Meyer explores this theme as it applies to Afrikaners in South Africa in his novel "[1]" Dead Before Daybreak. A case might also be made for applying the concept to Germany, especially to German society north of Bavaria.
Greece can also be said to suffer from cultural cringe, as there are some Greeks who believe that anything related to Greece (or the Mediterranean countries as a whole) is inferior to the culture of Western Europe or North America.

Ho Chi Minh City
We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City from the Mekong Delta and the first thing that struck us was the quantity of mopeds and scooters on the road! It was incredible to see so many bikes and I really wouldn't want to drive with them weaving all over the place, even on the wrong side of the road.
On our first full day in the city we had a look around the place, stopping at several museums / places of interest, including the City Museum which chartered the city's rise over the past century. This gave us an insight into the fascinating history of Vietnam and showed our ignorance of what had happened here. From the museum we went to the riverside which was a little disappointing and not great views / promenade to walk along. In the afternoon we saw the impressive Notre Dame cathedral and Independence Palace where the end of the Vietnam War was signified with a tank ploughing through the gates.
To round of our day we visited the War Remnants museum to better understand the effect of the war on the Vietnamese people. It was very sad to see the devastating effects of how people had been affected by "agent orange" which the US splattered over the country. It also made me wonder if I'll be able to visit Iraq and Afghanistan in 40 years as a welcome tourist?
On our second day we took the bus out to see the Cu Chi tunnels, the underground tunnels used by the Vietnamese in times of war. There are 250kms of tunnels, all dug by hand and it was amazing to see how normal life was able to be conducted 5-25m underground with kitchens, movie rooms, schools, medical rooms etc etc. We went to the Ben Duoc tunnels which are apparently favoured by the Vietnamese tourists as they are less crowded and not recreated to accommodate the Western waistline! We were joined by a Japanese tour group which worked in our favour as the women were dressed like they were in a fashion show in 5 inch heels and the men scared they would get stuck so Alice and I were able to follow the guides straight into the tunnels while the Japanese mostly waited above ground. The tunnels were about 80cm high so being on all fours was more comfortable than trying to walk upright!
The tour took about an hour which was a little disappointing and there was a lack of visitor centre / museum to put everything into context. On the way back to HCMC on the bus, a friendly old man spoke to me. He quickly offered Alice and I to stay at his house and for him to cook us dinner. After politely refusing he came and sat beside me and started asking what information I had about the US bombing Thailand and what other information I had I could share with him. He stressed we were the people and we must stick together. I felt a little uncomfortable, and was professing I was NOT American, while Alice sat on the seat opposite napping, completely unaware of what this guy was saying.
Our last day in the city was a lazy one; we started with breakfast at a bakery (one good thing the French left in Vietnam were baking skills!). We took a bus to the Cho Lon, the Chinese influenced area of the city. There was a massive bustling market which seemed to cater a lot more for wholesale rather than retail customers. By this point we are a bit market-ed out, so we didn't spend long there before trying to find some pagodas in the area which we had no joy with finding. In the afternoon, we went to the Jade Emperor pagoda on the other side of the city, built by the Chinese about a century ago. The huge fish and turtle ponds amused us - we think people must buy small animals from the stalls outside and leave them at the pagoda for good luck - although several of the gold fish were now dead! In early evening we took the bus to the airport for our flight to Da Nang.

Handheld Mechanical Manual Paper Shredder
Paper shredders are useful for their security purposes and there are many around. However the bulk of them are mostly electrical, meaning that they are also usually big in size to house the electrical components. What if you only need a small paper shredder that you can use anywhere you want without the need for electrical power?
Here's a manual paper shredder that is not only small enough to carry around in a bag, it also does not need any electrical power for it to work. All it needs is for its handle to be cranked for it to work. This cylindrical mechanical shredder comes in a no-frills look and is designed to simply do it's job.
The portable handheld manual shredder is able to handle the shredding of small pieces of paper like notes and checks or receipts. However obviously due to its compact size it will not be suitable for larger pieces of paper.
A useful handheld shredder that is practical and portable for carrying around.
The Muji handheld manual paper shredder retails for $10.50 from MoMA Store.

1997-98 Men's Ice Hockey Outllok
Spurred on by an eight-game win streak in the midseason, Amherst men's hockey finished their 1996-97 campaign with a 14-10-1 record in the ECAC Championship. The Jeffs enter the 1997-98 season picked seventh with one first place vote in the ECAC Coaches poll. Preparing for another highly competitive season in the ECAC-East, the Jeffs boast seventeen returning players and their most exciting class of rookies in recent memory.
"The potential is there for us to be very, very good," noted Head Coach Jack Arena '83. "We're probably as talented as we've ever been, and hopefully that will translate into success. But, even at our most talented, I don't see us necessarily moving up in the standings."
Leading the offense will be last season's top three scorers, juniors Charlie Blyth (17g, 22a) and Rob MacDonald (17g, 18a), and senior Tri-Captain Mike Noone (15g, 20a), who joined the century club as a junior with his 100th career point against North Adams. The trio combined for almost half the team's 110 goals and over one-third of the Jeffs' 283 total points. Bolstering the attack will be seniors Dan Moos (12g, 8a), Paul Gozzo (3g, 12a), Tim Kelly (5g, 6a) and Chris Gargiulo (2g, 4a), junior Matt Rogers (4g, 14a), and sophomores Tim Quinn (5g, 3a), Joe Graceffa (1g) and John Maguire (1a). Gregg DiNardo, Chris Orszulak and Robbie Hill enter as rookies ready to make an impact up front.
Tri-Captain Doug Erickson (3g, 16a) anchors a core of blue-liners, including senior Tom Carideo, junior Matt Drawz and sophomores Andy Jones (2g, 10a) and Buster Nelson (7g, 7a). Three first-years will help backstop this already solid defense in Darce Swaggart, Ben Kennedy and Stephen Tornabene. Rookie goalie Nick Rieser will challenge seniors Greg Morneau (.900 save pct.) and Chris Addesa (.899 save pct.) for time in the net. After transferring from Wisconsin in 1997, Addesa posted an unblemished 5-0-1 record, including a phenomenal 44-save performance in a 4-4 overtime tie with three-time national champion Middlebury.
The Jeffs will look for their third straight ECAC Tournament bid in a new home as Orr Rink has been completely renovated. Visiting teams will enjoy expanded locker room facilities, overlooked by offices on a new mezzanine level. The ice size has been expanded at the corners toward its 200x88 dimensions. "It was a nice building before," observed Arena, "and they've kept the feel of the rink as it was before and kept its charm."

Re: Save path bug
Yes, if you rename any part in the path of an open notebook it will cause Mathematica to lose track of the location of the file. This is not how other Mac applications work but it has been the behavior in Mathematica for as long as I can remember.
Mathematica has some other file path issues. If any part of the path of a pdf file includes a non-english character then Mathematica refuses to Import the pdf (at least that's the behavior with Greek letters, I haven't tried other languages).
