Flats with no windows have gone on sale for up to £465,000 in a new development a stone's throw from Brixton Tube station.
A former office block in Acre Lane gained permission to be converted into eight self-contained flats. Developers Build Consultants began work in September 2014.
Under new regulations, landlords who own office space are able to convert it to housing without planning permission from the council.
Set across the first and second floors, the block of flats contains two one bedroom apartments and six two bedroom properties.
But some of the homes do not feature any windows – instead being fitted with "light wells".
The light wells, vertical shafts roofed with glass, allow in natural light, but there are no windows on any of the interior walls.
Estates agents Beresford Residential describes the apartments as a "sanctuary of calm only minutes from trendy Brixton and the super fast Victoria Line".
The listings read: "The spaces will be warm, welcoming and perfect places to unwind, fitted with bespoke kitchens and bathrooms with a stunning open plan modern feel.
"There can be no equivalent in SW2."
The property comes with all the usual mod-cons in the kitchen, but "carpets in bedrooms and appliances are subject to prospective buyer's requirements and offer price".
The listing for the apartments, which feature CGI images, also come with a warning that the final layout and specification of the homes is "subject to change" and potential buyers should not rely on the images before making a financial commitment.
No reference to the light wells and lack of windows are made on the listings and some of the single unit floor plans also show no windows are present.
Councillor Jack Hopkins, from Lambeth Council, said: "There is no way this development would pass our quality standards, but the government's permitted development regime has taken away our powers with office to residential conversions.
"This is exactly the type of development we warned would happen under the new rules which bypass elected local government.
"With conversions like this, all we can check is transport, flood risk and risk of land contamination, whilst developers are able to do whatever they can to squeeze in extra units even if they are not up to standard.
"We all want more homes built, but not at any cost and not if they don't provide a decent home."
The Standard has made several attempts to contact Build Consultants.

Today, I'm heading to Brooklyn to meet a twitter buddy for lunch at a place called the Bedouin Tent. This is a Middle Eastern restaurant that serves things like lambajin and harira, and a delish dessert called basbousa. And apparently, the place is renowned for its pita, which is cooked on the premises.
First of all, I love Middle Eastern food. Secondly, I can have a taste-tantalizing meal while taking notes for my next book. Genies, as you know, originate in the Middle East and I often send my characters there to engage, vanquish, pursue, or just join the jinn in a meal.
I'm hoping the restaurant serves a dish called kubbat maraq. I had to use my imagination when I included the dish in this passage:
Bethany picked up a golf-ball-sized morsel, yellow with turmeric, and bit into it. Savory heat from pepper and cumin spread through her mouth, stimulating her salivary glands. A flavor of lime tickled the sides of her tongue. Fried, ground lamb at the center, heavy with the aroma of onion and parsley, melted beneath the thick grains of rice. Bethany devoured the ball in two bites.
Eager to see how close I am in the description...
Anybody ever try Middle Eastern food? How'd you like it?

Insider trading on Capitol Hill: Debate over restrictions heats up
(NEW YORK) MintPress — What was supposed to be a rare feel-good bill in Congress has instead sparked vitriolic debate in both chambers and once again pitted the interests of Wall Street against those of main street.
Earlier this month, the Senate passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which would bar lawmakers from trading stocks based on economic or political information they receive at congressional briefings. It would also require members of Congress to publicly detail each transaction they make within 30 days; they currently have a year to disclose trades. Exactly one week later, the House passed the STOCK Act as well.
But there was one not so small difference between the two versions. The House cut a provision requiring people who collect and trade so-called political intelligence — information from the government that can move markets and stock prices — to register just like lobbyists if they want to talk with officials in Congress so that the public knows who they are and what they're doing. Instead, the House bill requires just a study of the industry's activities within 12 months.
Bi-partisan backlash
Most Democratic legislators, and even some Republicans, slammed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va) for the watered down bill.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who proposed the amendment targeting the political intelligence industry, said in a statement "It's astonishing and extremely disappointing that the House would fulfill Wall Street's wishes by killing this provision." He continued, "If Congress delays action, the political intelligence industry will stay in the shadows, just the way Wall Street likes it."
Cantor on the defensive
Cantor (R-Va.) argued that work on the legislation, which was conducted in secret before being introduced on the House floor, actually strengthened the measure. Directing the political intelligence issue, he said, "I think that is a provision that raises an awful lot of questions. I think there's a lot of discussion and debate about who and what would qualify and fall under the suggested language that came from the Senate."
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), who originally introduced the STOCK Act in the House in March, 2006, disagreed. "The thing we greatly feared has come upon us," she said. "It has been weakened, totally, as far as I'm concerned." Slaughter and other House Democrats say they backed the bill in order to move it forward to a conference with the Senate to discuss the differences.
House and Senate leaders must now appoint a conference committee if any version of the STOCK Act is to be passed and presented to President Obama.
Extreme measures
Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) insists that no matter what the STOCK Act looks like in the end, it has too many loopholes to be anything other than a symbolic gesture. Duffy, a former District Attorney who now serves on the Committee on Financial Services, has instead. introduced a bill known as the RESTRICT (Restoring Ethical Standards, Transparency, and Responsibility in Congressional Trading) Act.
In an opinion-editorial in the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, Duffy wrote, "It's time Congress led with the transparency and accountability worthy of our office. In an age of dysfunctional government and growing public cynicism, the RESTRICT Act is one of those rare bills that can help restore confidence in government and unite commonsense Americans on both sides of the aisle."
Supporters of The RESTRICT Act say its strength lies in its simplicity: The bill would require all members of Congress to either place their assets in a blind trust or submit to a three-day public disclosure requirement for any and all investments.
One of its biggest fans: conservative writer Peter Schweizer, research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, author of Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich Off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of Us to Prison, and, as of late, foreign policy adviser to former Governor of Alaska and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
"Transparency is the key here," he says of the RESTRICT Act. "That is how we hold them accountable." Schweizer even goes one step further. "And let's not limit our efforts to Congress. What about the executive branch and the White House?"
The Tea Party meets Occupy Wall Street? Perhaps more so than the Conservative Political Action Conference, which met in Washington, D.C. last week and featured a discussion entitled "The Tea Party vs. Occupy Wall Street," would have us think.

PROMOTER Eddie Hearn wants Bury boxer Scott Quigg to unify the super bantamweight division in his hometown this summer after another destructive defence of his world title in Manchester on Saturday night.
Quigg floored South African Tshifhiwa Munyai twice with devasting left and right handers before a second-round stoppage at the Phones 4u Arena - his second in six months at the venue.
And Hearn says it sends a statement out that the WBA belt holder is ready for the big fights.
Speaking after the fight Hearn said he wants that next defence at Bury's JD Stadium.
He said: "I am planning an outdoor show in Bury towards the end of the summer - that's what I would like to do at the football stadium.
"Scott is ready for the big fights - we need Kiko Martinez, Leo Santa Cruz or Carl Frampton.
"The pressure is on me to deliver. I don't think it's been done at Bury before and I want a proper fight to get people excited."
Munyai was a late replacement opponent for Quigg after Venezuelan Nehomar Cermeno but Quigg made light work against a man who had only lost twice previously in 27 fights.
His first devastating blow came inside the last 20 seconds of the first round when a stunning left hook sent Munyai to the canvas but the bell saved him more punishment.
But midway through the second round a quickfire left-right combination sent Munyai down again and even though he withstood an eight-count, the fight was stopped one minute and 56 seconds into the round.
It was another glory night for Quigg who is unbeaten in 30 professional bouts with 28 victories.
And the 25-year-old admits it would be a dream to fight back in Bury.
He said: "You saw a statement from me. I showed the punching power I have and it was great to do it again in Manchester.
"It would be great to go and fight again in Bury.
"I know it's the JD Stadium now and not Gigg Lane but maybe we can change it to 'Quigg Lane' for a night.
"I'm sure it would be a sell-out because I know the massive support I get from the people of Bury."

I had juvederm injected below my bottom lip, on each side, in order to fill out some rolling acne scars.
Last week I had one vial of juvederm injected into these areas by an RN, and I'm not very satisfied with the result. The product seemed to pool into areas I didn't need it, and didn't do a great job of filling out my scars.
I'm not sure if this result is due to the way it was injected, or the movement of the product itself.I'm wondering if there is another filler that is more precise. Or maybe I should seek a more skillfull practitioner.

Total cop out, but for the sake of not missing the day, here's why today's top 5 is lame.
5: I'm writing it on an iPad in the dark with my two year old and 5 month old sleeping in play pens on the floor next to me, so I can't effectively research an interesting topic.
4: I usually keep a couple of articles in the queue for times when I'm too busy to write, but the queue was depleted due to working past midnight a couple times this week.

NZK Productions reaches a win-win solution with Steve Carbone after he points out a loophole in their agreement initially intended to keep him from giving spoilers about the upcoming episodes.
It's "The Bachelor" producers against Steve Carbone again, but they have settled it out of court like before. NZK Productions sued the Reality blogger, once again, for breaching the settlement agreement they signed in the previous legal feud that placed him as a defendant for allegedly luring contestants, who have confidentiality pledges, into giving him scoops from the show.
In their 2012 agreement, Carbone was banned from contacting any cast, crew or employees of "The Bachelor" directly or indirectly for five years to come. However, it failed to explicitly mention that he is not allowed to be contacted by the cast, crew or employees.
In addition to presenting the loophole in the settlement, the blogger who constantly leaks information on upcoming episodes of the dating series including who's eliminated and who gets the final rose argues that NZK improperly uses the court system to interfere his First Amendment rights.
Both parties previously settled their fight, which was raised by the company around the 16th season, behind the close door and they have done the same in this new case. The two cases didn't take long enough to reveal who gave Carbone the inside information.
Terms of the latest settlement have not been revealed.

This summer western Newfoundland is expected to have typical highs and lows, but nothing extreme, the Weather Network says.
Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist with the network, said an average summer is being forecasted for this part of the country in terms of both temperature and precipitation. The normal daytime highs in western Newfoundland for June, July and August are around the 20C mark, she said.
"We expect the whole summer to average out to around that," Vettese said."We will of course have our ups and downs throughout the summer, but we expect things to average out to normal. It looks like a fairly normal, pleasant summer ahead."
She also said about 280-300 millimetres of rain is the norm for those three months in western Newfoundland.
The meteorologist said the network is monitoring a developing El Nino in the Pacific Ocean. She said that could indirectly impact the east coast of Canada with less tropical storm/cyclone-type activity in the Atlantic.
Vettese said it appears the next couple of weeks will see colder temperatures until it begins to even out again around mid-June.

Pakistan orders rape-claim inquiry
Page Tools
The Pakistan Cricket Board has ordered an internal inquiry into a Melbourne woman's rape allegations against a player during the current tour of Australia.
The Centre Against Sexual Assault (CASA) yesterday confirmed that the woman had confidentially reported the alleged attack. Victorian police said they knew of the allegations but could not investigate until the victim made an official report.
However, cricket operations manager Zakir Khan told The Age from Lahore that the board was determined to hold its own inquiry and had asked team manager Haroon Rasheed for a full report before a PCB official was sent to Australia to investigate further.
"The fact is nobody knows what is the real story," said Mr Zakir, who was alerted to the allegations by Cricket Australia's manager of cricket operations, Michael Brown, early yesterday.
"We are a bit baffled," Mr Zakir said. "Our chairman has spoken with the manager and we have ordered an internal inquiry into this whole matter. We are asking for a report from the manager and then we will see what else we can do.
"I cannot say anything more until we get to the bottom of what has happened. It has taken nearly three weeks for this woman or girl or whoever she is to come up with this. There is no police report and nothing else.
"We don't know what is the legal procedure, so we will definitely be consulting people, lawyers also, on how to tackle this situation if it is true. It's distressing for everyone."
But CASA said the woman approached the crisis centre at the time, alleging the attack happened in a player's room at the Grand Hyatt, where the team was staying for the Boxing Day Test. But she is yet to make an official complaint to police.
Maggie Innes, from the centre, said the decision to report the crime was up to the victim.
"We respect the woman's wishes at all times, inform them of their options and leave the decision as to what action, if any, they take to them," she said.
"If they want us to do something on their behalf then we will, but we would not provide any confidential details."
The Pakistan players were told of the allegations before a training session at the SCG yesterday.
"We haven't received any official complaint whatsoever," Mr Rasheed said. "We are just talking to our players to explain to them what is in the press. We are handling it within our four walls.
"There will be no further comment. We will have to wait a couple of days to see if a complaint will be lodged."

Advocacy for Librarians
Instructor: Alison Lewis
Dates: Not currently scheduled
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175
Now more than ever, all librarians need to actively work as advocates for our libraries and for our profession. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises, we will explore the theory and practice of library advocacy. Participants will learn how to define advocacy and articulate the ways it differs from related concepts such as marketing or outreach. We will look at the role of our core beliefs as the starting point for advocacy, understand the need for "internal advocacy" within our own organizations, and become familiar with the best practices for advocacy on the institutional, local, state, and national levels. Those who complete the workshop will come away with draft versions of several advocacy tools and a personalized "Advocacy Action Plan" for moving forward.
Alison M. Lewis has over twenty years of experience as a professional librarian in specialized, research, and academic settings. She was formerly a faculty member at Drexel University's College of Computing and Informatics, where she taught advanced reference courses in the humanities and social sciences, the special collections course, and the practicum. Currently she serves as Executive Director of Beta Phi Mu, the international library and information studies honor society. She is also the Chief Acquisitions Editor for Library Juice Press and managing partner for Parlew Associates. She has M.L.S. and M.A. degrees from Florida State University, and a Ph.D. in English from Temple University. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and four or five cats.
Course Structure
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment.
Payment Info

The Therapeutic Use Of MDMA
MDMA is a relatively new drug, that we know little about. Though we have done much research on rats to see the effects on the brain less is known about the psychological effects, and therapeutic benefits of MDMA for humans. The lack of research leads to many conflicting views on the drugs harmful and beneficial effects. MDMA was not popular until quite recently and when it did become popular it was made illegal. Much of what is known about MDMA's psychological effects is information from users, and therefore must be examined carefully. When MDMA was first synthesized accidentally in the beginning of the 20th century, scientists saw no possible therapeutic uses for the drug. It was not until the 1970's that those in the psychedelic therapy community noticed the substances potential use. Though the field of psychedelic therapy was already established MDMA had never been used in such a manner.
And From the German Lab In 1913 MDMA evolved into one of the most popular recreational drugs ever.
There are many researchers on both sides of the debate regarding MDMA's usefulness in psychotherapy. Some researchers have remarked on the ability of the drug to help PTSD and terminal cancer sufferers. There are many things to consider before MDMA could ever be widely used by therapists, but the FDA has approved testing for the benefits of MDMA in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Due to the intense effects of MDMA certain steps must be taken to ensure effective therapy.
Though there is not enough evidence to make many conclusions about MDMA's potential therapeutic use its does appear to have many beneficial therapeutic effects, but do they outweigh the dangers? MDMA has been shown to have some effect in treating pain, and the power to increase and decrease anxiety in rats, depending upon the size of the dose. MDMA has such satisfying effects that many desire to continue to stay under the influence when they begin to "come down". When they are not under the influence of MDMA users tend to have higher levels of anxiety and depression then non-drug using controls. It is believed that heavy use of MDMA causes severe depression by depleting serotonin, but are there continuing psychological benefits? This question is being argued in websites and academic journals across the country. To truly understand this drug you should start with the basics, the effects on your body, mind and work your way through the website. If you are looking for the complex stuff

"He Said/She Said" Reporting Legitimizes Breitbart's Deceptive Smear Campaign
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Through he said/she said journalism, the media gives Andrew Breitbart's debunked videos legitimacy they don't deserve. Exhibit A: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that "a pair of heavily edited videos" shows two professors "appearing to condone the use of violence in labor negotiations." At the end of the article, they note:
Officials at UMKC say they have been reviewing the video but thus far have expressed support for their professor.
They have criticized the Internet videos, saying their editing put the instructors' comments out of context.
Well, were they? The Post-Dispatch does not have to take the school officials' word for it -- they can see for themselves. With a little bit of research, they can show their readers that, yes, Big Government was taking Professor Don Giljum out of context when they edited out the portions of his comments that show him rejecting violence (in bold):
I tend to agree with you, because I think if you look at labor's history over the years, you'll find that, you know, we've had a very violent history with violent protests and reaction to suppression. OK? But as time has changed, the tactics have changed, or the need for those have changed. OK?
Now, you know, that's not to say that in certain instances, strategically played out and for certain purposes, that industrial sabotage doesn't have its place. I think it certainly does. But as far as -- You know, and I can't really honestly say that I've never wished, or have never been in a position where I have haven't wished real harm on somebody or inflicted any pain and suffering on some people--
STUDENT: We're all human.
GILJUM: --who didn't ask for it, but, you know, it certainly has its place. It certainly makes you feel a hell of a lot better sometimes, but beyond that I'm not sure as a tactic today, the type of violence or reaction to the violence we had back then would be called for here, and I think it would do more harm than good.

How to Steam Vegetables
To make the healthiest vegetables at home, trust a simple, foolproof method that uses just heat and water. The Taste of Home Test Kitchen shares simple steps for steaming any kind of vegetable, from broccoli to Brussels sprouts.
By Elizabeth Harris, Contributing Editor and Dana Meredith, Associate Editor
Vegetables and steam cooking go way back—at least 7,000 years in China, and 10,000 years in North America. Eastern methods used bamboo containers for steaming, while Native Americans of the southwest used clay. Bring the time-tested method to your kitchen for fresh, healthy sides like steamed squash that are easy, too.
Expert Tips from the Taste of Home Test Kitchen
- Shop! Steamers are available in stovetop and electric versions.
- Keep those nutrients: Steaming vegetables preserves more vital nutrients than boiling does. Plus, no fat or oil is necessary.
- Clean 'em up: Always wash vegetables before steaming.
- Cut vegetables into equally sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the steamer basket; steam in batches if necessary.
- If you're steaming a large number of vegetables, place the steamer basket in a Dutch oven instead of a large saucepan to cook more vegetables at once.
- Add enough water to last the entire time needed for steaming; adding more water later will drop the temperature. Check to make sure the pan isn't boiling dry, but avoid removing the lid too frequently—this will also drop the temp.
- Inject flavor: Add some herbs, onions or other aromatic ingredients to the water.
- Reduce heat to maintain a low boil or simmer to avoid overcooking the vegetables.
- Careful! Steam's really hot and can cause burns. Always open the steamer lid away from your face and hands.
How to Steam Vegetables
What you'll need:
- Your choice of vegetables
- Steamer basket
- Large saucepan or Dutch oven with lid
1. Chop your vegetables so that they are the same size.
2. Place your vegetables in the steamer basket. Place basket in a saucepan over 1 in. of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil. Cover and steam for recommended time or until crisp-tender.
3. Always open your steamer lid away from you to avoid burns.
4. Vegetables are done when they are vibrant in color and you can easily pierce the thickest part of the vegetable with a paring knife. Drain, then place vegetables in a serving bowl. Cover with dressing, butter, or your choice of topping.
How Long to Steam Common Vegetables
Beans, green or wax
Broccoli florets
Broccoli spears
Brussels sprouts
Carrots, slices
Carrots, whole baby
Cauliflower florets
Squash, summer
Squash, winter
Sweet potatoes, cubes

Pleurisy is swelling (inflammation) of the thin layers of
tissue (pleura) covering the lungs and the chest wall. In young, healthy
people, a viral infection of the lower respiratory system or pneumonia may
cause the inflammation and pleurisy.
Other causes of pleurisy
include air leaking into the pleural cavity from a hole in a
lung (pneumothorax), injury to the chest (such as a broken rib),
tuberculosis or other infections, or a tumor in the pleura. Pleurisy caused by
a virus usually lasts a few days to 2 weeks.
Common symptoms of
pleurisy include:
Over-the-counter pain relievers, including acetaminophen
(such as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (such as Motrin and Advil), may help relieve
the pain caused by pleurisy and may reduce fever. Treatment of pleurisy depends
on the cause.

Paris Hilton still getting work
So apparently Paris Hilton has landed another movie role, this time co-starring with Pee-Wee Herman himself, Paul Reubens. From The Scoop:
Paris Hilton either has the best agent ever, or she's better in auditions than she is in films themselves, because the woman keeps getting parts. Next up, a new film from Todd Solondz, who brought you "Happiness" (it was the opposite of happy, if you haven't seen it). And, if you've heard what I'm about to say already, stay with me because it bears repeating. Hilton will be co-starring with Paul Reubens. Yes. Pee-Wee Herman. Almost makes you wish she'd keep doing commercials for John McCain…
Yeah, sure, I could probably make a joke about Paris Hilton still getting movie roles despite her last film being the 15th worst movie ever made. But instead, here are some photos of her pumping gas. Yay, I did it, I'm the best!

Big project ventures: facilitating a collaborative planning and implementation process
Briggs, Maxwell (2010) Big project ventures: facilitating a collaborative planning and implementation process. Lambert Academic Publishing AG & Co., Germany.
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
This book is based on a study of a complex project proposal by governments and corporations for a futuristic city, the Multifunction Polis (MFP). It encompasses issues and challenges symptomatic of growth initiatives in the global competitive environment. Academic rigor is applied using corporate strategy and business principles to undertake a detailed analysis of the project proposal & feasibility study and to subsequently construct practical guidelines on how to effectively manage the interpretation & implementation of a large-scale collaborative venture. It specifically addresses a venture which involves fragmented groups representing a diversity of interests but which aspire to related goals and, to this end, there is a need for cooperation & synergy across the planning process.This is an easy to read book of general interest and well suited to practitioners and academics alike. Its relevance is far-reaching, extending to venture situations defined by location, industry, community or social interest, the context, scale and scope of the project, and the role of organization management, project management, market and industry development and public policy. flap text of book

ANICETO G. SALUDO, JR., G.R. No. 121404
Panganiban, C.J. (Chairperson),
- versus - Ynares-Santiago,
Callejo, Sr., and
Chico-Nazario, JJ.
FERNANDO V. GOROSPE, JR., in his
capacity as Presiding Judge, Regional Trial
Court of Makati, Branch 61, and Promulgated:
Respondents. May 3, 2006
x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- x
This Petition[1] seeks to annul and set aside the August 8, 1995 Resolution[2] of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 36670, which dismissed the Petition[3] for certiorari to annul and set aside the November 10, 1994[4] and February 20, 1995 Orders[5] issued by the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 61, in Civil Case No. 88-2181. The said Orders denied petitioner Aniceto G. Saludo, Jr.s Motion to Suspend Proceedings in Civil Case No. 88-2181[6] as well as his Motion for Reconsideration.[7]
Petitioner prayed for the suspension of proceedings in the said civil case on the ground that to proceed with the trial would make public the administrative case entitled Bellosillo v. The Board of Governors of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and Aniceto G. Saludo, Jr.[8] for Gross Professional Misconduct/Malpractice filed by herein private respondent Sally V. Bellosillo against him and thereby violate the confidentiality rule as stated in Section 18, Rule 139-B of the Rules of Court.[9]
On September 4, 1995, we issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)[10] to enjoin the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 61, from proceeding with the pre-trial and trial of Civil Case No. 88-2181, effective immediately and during the entire period that the case is pending or until further orders.
It appears, however, that on March 31, 2006, the Court rendered judgment on the administrative case disposing as follows:
WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED and the assailed Resolution of the IBP Board of Governors, dated March 30, 1996, dismissing the complaint against respondent [Aniceto G. Saludo. Jr.] in Adm. Case No. 3297 is AFFIRMED.
We held therein that private respondent Bellosillo has not established a prima facie case to hold petitioner administratively liable as her dealings with the latter, such as the alleged cash borrowings and unwarranted solicitations, were ordinary business transactions arising from their personal dealings, and not from an attorney-client relationship. They represent purely personal interests and not professional misconduct.
In view of the foregoing, the present petition has been rendered moot as petitioners prayer has become inconsequential with the dismissal of the administrative complaint filed against him. Thus, the trial of Civil Case No. 88-2181 must now proceed immediately.
Section 18, Rule 139-B of the Rules of Court states that proceedings against attorneys shall be private and confidential. However, the final order of the Supreme Court shall be published like its decisions in other cases. The purpose of the rule is not only to enable this Court to make its investigations free from any extraneous influence or interference, but also to protect the personal and professional reputation of attorneys and judges from the baseless charges of disgruntled, vindictive, and irresponsible clients and litigants; it is also to deter the press from publishing administrative cases or portions thereto without authority. We have ruled that malicious and unauthorized publication or verbatim reproduction of administrative complaints against lawyers in newspapers by editors and/or reporters may be actionable.[12] Such premature publication constitutes a contempt of court, punishable by either a fine or imprisonment or both at the discretion of the Court. The lawyer as an aggrieved party may recover damages in a civil suit filed for the purpose;[13] or may choose to waive the confidentiality of proceedings in the disbarment case against him/her.[14]
Enabling the court to keep administrative investigations free of extraneous influence or interference essentially calls for independence and impartiality of the investigating court, commissioners, or officers. It does not, however, exclude the possibility of simultaneously commencing a judicial case against a lawyer who is being administratively investigated.
The settled rule is that criminal and civil cases are different from administrative matters, such that the disposition in the first two will not inevitably govern the third and vice versa.[15] In Berbano v. Barcelona,[16] it was held that:
Disciplinary proceedings against lawyers are sui generis. Neither purely civil nor purely criminal, they do not involve a trial of an action or a suit, but are rather investigations by the Court into the conduct of one of its officers. Not being intended to inflict punishment, [they are] in no sense a criminal prosecution. Accordingly, there is neither a plaintiff nor a prosecutor therein. [They] may be initiated by the Court motu propio. Public interest is [their] primary objective, and the real question for determination is whether or not the attorney is still a fit person to be allowed the privileges as such. Hence, in the exercise of its disciplinary powers, the Court merely calls upon a member of the Bar to account for his actuations as an officer of the Court with the end in view of preserving the purity of the legal profession and the proper and honest administration of justice by purging the profession of members who by their misconduct have prove[n] themselves no longer worthy to be entrusted with the duties and responsibilities pertaining to the office of an attorney.
We also emphasized in Gatchalian Promotions Talents Pool, Inc. v. Naldoza[17] that:
[A] finding of guilt in the criminal case will not necessarily result in a finding of liability in the administrative case. Conversely, respondents acquittal does not necessarily exculpate him administratively. In the same vein, the trial courts finding of civil liability against the respondent will not inexorably lead to a similar finding in the administrative action before this Court. Neither will a favorable disposition in the civil action absolve the administrative liability of the lawyer. x x x.
Thus, the proceedings in Civil Case No. 88-2181 could continue notwithstanding the pendency of the administrative case. In fact, we have actually ruled on administrative cases with pending judicial proceedings related thereto.[18] The fact that the charges and some pieces of evidence to be used in both cases are similar does not necessarily amount to prejudice or deprivation of due process to any of the parties in either case.
Petitioner also contended that the non-suspension of Civil Case No. 88-2181 while the administrative case is being heard would unduly expose him to the public eye and ear, and consequently cause irreparable injury to his personal and professional integrity.
Petitioners contention lacks basis. As correctly pointed out by the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 36670, petitioner can ably protect himself by timely objections to any action of the other parties in Civil Case No. 88-2181, which refers to the administrative case against him. Besides, to forestall the civil case from proceeding due to the pendency of the administrative case would be unfair to the party instituting the civil case and would also unduly delay the administration of justice.
Indeed, the success of a lawyer in his profession depends almost entirely on his reputation. Anything which will harm his good name is to be deplored[19] as a lawyers reputation is a plant of tender growth, and its bloom, once lost, is not easily restored.[20] The eventual dismissal however of the administrative case, as in this case, should more than redeem and maintain petitioners good name.
Finally, the Court of Appeals correctly held that:
Under Section 1, Rule 21 of the Revised Rules of Court, [now Section 8, Rule 30 of the Rules of Court[21]], an action may be suspended only on the ground of a possibility of a compromise. The rule of confidentiality under Section 18 of Rule 139-B cannot be a ground for suspending the proceedings in a civil case, unless it is patent, which is not the case here, that the civil case was filed purposely to circumvent the said rule. As a matter of fact, the complaint in this case was not initiated by the private respondent but by a person whom she claims to be an agent of the petitioner. The confidentiality of administrative proceeding is not intended to place lawyers in a privileged position with regard to civil or criminal actions against them.[22]
WHEREFORE, the instant petition is DISMISSED for being moot and academic. The Temporary Restraining Order issued on September 4, 1995 is ordered LIFTED. The Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 61 is ORDERED to proceed hearing Civil Case No. 88-2181.

PROPOSED cuts to ambulance cover will put the safety of residents at risk, according to a Bolton MP.
Julie Hilling has backed a campaign by trade union Unison to stop the changes, which would see Bolton lose one of four ambulances that attend emergency calls between midnight and 8am.
The shake-up comes as the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has been told to find £13.8 million of savings, and could also mean Bury and Wigan each lose an ambulance.
Ms Hilling collected signatures for a petition against the move this week, ahead of a meeting with Bolton NHS Foundation Trust about the changes.
She said: "Speaking to residents there are a number of concerns about the NHS under the current Government with many local people believing the service has deteriorated over the past four years.
"The Government has put NWAS in a really difficult situation.
"Cuts made to the NHS and our ambulance services could put the safely of residents here in Bolton West at risk.
"Any decision to remove our 24-hour emergency cover is a disaster and it is happening under David Cameron's watch.
"Ambulances save lives and this restructuring will lead to more and more residents waiting longer for emergency care.
"I will continue to work with members of Unison and employees of the NHS to protect our most vital public service."
If implemented, Bolton will have three ambulances and four rapid response vehicles overnight.
So far the Unison petition has collected 2,650 signatures. To sign, go to http://tinyurl.com/p6fezt7

Welcome to the original website of the Australia and New Zealand Emergency Department Airway Registry.
PLEASE NOTE; we have partnered with the Emergency Care Institute of NSW, part of the Agency for Clinical Innovation, in order to be able to deliver the project on the scale that we had intended.
The logistics of ethics approvals, site setup and data management are huge and we thank the ECI for all their help.
Successful airway management is one of the cornerstones of care for critically ill or injured patients in the Emergency Department (ED). The risks of intubation are known to be higher in this environment compared to the operating theatre, yet there is little published data on airway management in an Australian ED.
We should strive to make our first attempt at intubation our best and only attempt in order to minimise the chance of our patients' suffering complications.
Improvement in the process is clearly in our patients' best interests.
Regular audit should take place of airway management problems or events in the ED.

We have created a multi centre database to evaluate what is current practice and to assess future developments in techniques and technology.

The Baggies chief made five changes to his starting XI for Saturday's 1-1 draw at struggling Wigan with only two of those enforced due to injury and suspension problems.
And, with the games coming thick and fast between now and the end of the season, Hodgson wants to ensure that all of his players get a taste of first-team action now that Premier League football is almost guaranteed at the Hawthorns for next season.
The Baggies have 36 points with nine games left and are 14 points clear of the relegation zone with a stronger goal difference than the teams below them.
Hodgson told the club's website: "We're looking upwards and I'm looking to use the whole of the squad.
"People can expect a few changes in the coming nine games rather than me just playing the same 11 each week because, as we saw, people like Scharner, who came in for Andrews, and people like Long, who came in for Fortune, are available.
"We have Jerome Thomas fit again, we have Billy Jones back in for the injured Steven Reid and we had Nicky Shorey back.
"We have this level of player and I can't keep them as eternal substitutes expecting them to play from time to time.
"I will use them all during the course of the season.
"We have two senior goalkeepers and about 19 fit outfield players so we will need everyone in the final nine games."

Me and thrift stores have this weird connection: I think up some treasure in my head that I want to get my hands on, and miraculously during one of my quick "drive-bys" at the thrift store after work, there "IT" is, as if someone donated it just for me.
That's what happened with this $30 solid, thrifted table that I hacked and stenciled for my latest DIY project. (Yes, just $30!!)
Before I show you how I transformed this awesome piece of furniture for my recent pretty little laundry room makeover, let me introduce myself. 🙂
I'm Serena from Thrift Diving, a blog that inspires you to decorate, improve, and maintain your home on a DIY budget (read: WE.LOVE.THRIFT STORES!). Although I'm a mom to three young boys and work a full-time "day job," every day I try to squeeze whatever little time I have left into my passions: my blog and its readers, power tools, and making over thrift store furniture.
I'm stoked to be here today!
Okay, so back to this lovely piece of furniture I scored and how I transformed it…
So…last month I put a call out to all my readers to join me for my 30-Day June Room Challenge, where we would each commit to making over just ONE room in our house in 30 days, and we'd be each other's cheerleaders for the month. Me–I chose my laundry room. This is what it looked like just over 30 days ago. Shocking, huh?
At the end of the challenge, it looked like this!!
That table was critical to my laundry room makeover because I needed two things 1) more folding space, and 2) the ability to store dirty laundry baskets underneath of it and out of plain sight. I crossed my fingers and hoped that the vision could make the table look amazing. Thankfully, it turned out almost perfect! ;). Now I'm going to show you how I did it. (Subscribe to my YouTube channel, where I'll soon be posting the video tutorial of this project, and more!).
How to Hack and Stencil a Thrifted Table
It's not difficult to hack a thrifted table to suit your decor needs, but here is what you'll need to do to achieve the look:
STEP 1: Don't Choose Just Any Table
To hack a thrift store table into two halves, you don't need to pull out a circular saw. All you need to do is look for tables that have a leaf in the center. When you remove the leaf, you're left with brackets on the underside that are easy to remove with a simple drill!
STEP 2: Trial and Error!
Might be a good idea to test the separated table pieces to make sure it will fit in your space. Here I lugged it into the laundry room to make sure I could pull this off!
STEP 3: To Sand or Not To Sand?
Generally if you're working with Annie Sloan decorative chalk paint (as I was in this case), you won't need to sand. However, it had tons of deep scratches and icky-sticky stuff that only sanding could take off!
STEP 4: Stencils Everywhere!
Paint the body and the top. I love having a different color on the legs (Annie Sloan Pure White on the body, and Paris Grey on the top). Next, lay a stencil down. I'm using a floral damask one from Royal Design Studio.
STEP 5: Get Some "L" Brackets
To hold the table up against the wall, use L brackets to attach to the underside of the table. Then mount to the wall. You can use the studs in the wall, or just drill holes and use those nifty little anchor thingys :).
STEP 6: Enjoy Your New Table!
For not a lot of money, you now have an awesome, long table! It's really like getting two tables in one. I love how mine looks in my new laundry room! Finally Mommy has a beautiful place to wash clothes!
Join My "August Upgrade" Room Challenge!
My laundry room was transformed as part of my Room Challenge series over on Thrift Diving! You're just in time to join Round 2!

About the Creator
After receiving my BFA in fine art photography, I embarked on intermittent travel and mountaineering expeditions through Africa, Europe, Mexico and the United States. In 1997 I met my husband and soon after we set out on a life changing adventure together. We sailed from San Diego, CA to the South Pacific and then north to Hawaii. The first leg of our two year trip was 3200 nautical miles at sea with no sight of land for 27 days. The passage was lonely, exhausting and hallucinatory yet it aroused my passion for the sea. No communication with the outside world forced me to acquire a deep sense of faith and secured my penchant for freedom. I began to understand what life was about, how fragile yet how capable we are. Then on the passage from Nuku Hiva to Oahu, I read House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende and came to the realization that my next accomplishment was to become a mother. I still live in a California surf town and work as a commercial and fine art photographer.

Bayside Chatter: Jan. 3
Steve Gow for the Lake County News-Chronicle
The North Shore Storm opened their play in the North Shore holiday hockey tournament by laying an egg in a 5-0 loss to the Red Lake Falls Eagles. They had a couple of breaks against them in the first period and couldn't buy a break of their own and as a result were down 2-0 when the period concluded. They came out flat in the period two and were blown off the ice as they were outshot 24-7 and outscored 3-0. They played a great third period, but it was too little and too late. Simply put, this game featured way too much me and not enough team. Zach Landmark scored twice for the Eagles to give him 19 goals so far this season.
Against the Bagley Flyers, the Storm scored 9 times in the second period to break a 4-0 game wide open. Schramm had a hat trick to go with 2 goals from Corey Johnson, Quaid Cavallin and Ville Vuori. Luke Small added 4 assists. Duresky picked up the win with 3 saves and Will Peterson had 3 saves in his first varsity action. ourteen different Storm players scored at least one point. The Storm put 75 shots on goal.
The Storm hosted winless Ely yesterday and host Greenway at Two Harbors on Tuesday. The Greenway game was listed on some schedules for tomorrow.
The girls had two games over the holiday season. They lost 5-1 to the Chisago Lakes Wildcats and 7-1 to the Duluth Northern Stars. Both opponents used their depth to gradually wear down the Mariners who put up a good fight in each contest. Carrie Palmer with assists from Everly Bauck and April Velcheff scored the Mariner goal against the Wildcats. Rheanna Duncan scored twice for the Wildcats. Sara Carman had 47 saves to tie the Mariner single game mark for saves in a game. Bauck scored the Mariner goal versus Duluth. Calie Hoff finished with a hat trick for the Northern Stars. Carman finished up with 37 stops.
The girls travel to Baudette to play the winless Lake of the Woods Bears in a pair of games. Both teams have high hopes of getting their first win of the season. Tuesday, the girls are at Proctor to play the Proctor/Hermantown Mirage and Thursday they host the Moose Lake Rebels.
Robbinsdale Cooper defeated Mora 7-5 to win the championship game of the North Shore tournament. Legacy Christian beat Red Lake Falls 3-2 for third and Moose Lake beat Ely 6-4 for 7th.
The Luverne boys and the Thief River Falls girls are the only undefeated hockey teams entering 2014.

Amanda Tapping's (Samantha Carter) recent eBay charity auctions raked in almost $20,000 (U.S.)!
Proceeds for the winning bids will go to support the North Star Montessori Elementary School in Vancouver, BC.
The 20-minute Skype chat with Amanda (link) went for $3,750. An autographed arm sling worn by Tapping in SG-1 (link) sold for $850.
Last but not least, the guided behind the scenes set visit and lunch with Tapping during the filming of Sanctuary in Vancouver (link) brought in $15,000.
That puts the total at $19,600. Both the Skype chat and set tour appear to have been won by the same bidder.

Jerry, Elaine and George stop for a quick Chinese dinner before a showing of Plan 9 From Outer Space on the big screen. However, while waiting a really long time to get a table, Jerry sees a woman whose name he can't recall; George needs to use a phone he can't have and Elaine needs food, more than those seated ahead of them.

This is just the kind of amusingly off-center comedy now missing from NBC's lineup, one of those rare, delightful meshings of concept, cast and execution, with producer Tom Cherones providing inspired direction. Nothing is forced. [31 May 1990, p.F9]Los Angeles Times Full Review
The weakest aspect of Seinfeld is a wacky next-door neighbor played by Michael Richards. Richards is doing little more than an impersonation of Christopher Lloyd's Jim on Taxi, and he ought to cut it out.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Funny. The characters, even the hip comic star, become likable very quickly. Despite yourself, you'll be laughing before the first commercial. [31 May 1990, p.C11]Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
It works. It's different. It's fun, offbeat and charming. [31 May 1990, p.5]Houston Chronicle Full Review
One weak link is fellow stand-up comic Michael Richards as Seinfeld's wacky neighbor. He isn't wacky or neighborly enough; it just doesn't work. But he's in the minority where "Seinfeld" is concerned. You may not convulsively guffaw, but you're bound to convincingly smile. Here's one that worked out just right.Washington Post Full Review
Seinfeld's gentle humor is easy to take. Unlike other current comedians, such as Andrew Dice Clay or Sam Kinison, Seinfeld isn't angry: He's more awed by the wonder of it all. [13 May 1990, p.13]Newsday Full Review
The writing - so thankfully different from the hammering rhythm of most sitcoms - comes from Seinfeld and Larry David ("Saturday Night Live"). [31 May 1990, p.C5]Seattle Post-Intelligencer Full Review
There are some who might be jarred by the format, seamless as it is. And still others might be compelled to argue that with this format one gets neither a sitcom nor a comedy show, but insufficient portions of each...But there is an intriguing honesty to this method, and, in its fashion, it shows how life's tiny travail can work its way into comedy club laughs. [31 May 1990, p.C4]Chicago Tribune Full Review
Lacking much in the way of attitude, the show seems obsolete and irrelevant. What it boils down to is that Seinfeld, likable as he may be, is a mayonnaise clown in a world that requires a little horseradish. [31 May 1990, p.3D]USA Today Full Review

Due to a problem with manufacturers, there is currently an international shortage of the typhoid vaccine.
The shortage may last as long as a year and is affecting many clinics and health centres in the UK, including the NHS.
The 1st Contact Travel Clinic advises, however, that because of their excellent and long-standing relationship with suppliers, they have received stock of 350 of these vaccines.
Anyone needing the vaccine, and in particular travellers planning to go to Africa or India, should hurry to ensure they receive their vaccine before stock runs out.
The Clinic is located at Castlewood House, 77-91 New Oxford Street, London, and offers a wide range of vaccinations, as well as free travel health advice, vaccine certificates, health sheets and a variety of travel accessories.
To book your appointment and ensure you are not affected by the vaccine shortages, call 0808 141 5506 (UK Free call) or +44 20 7759 7505. Or, for more information, visit 1stContact-travelclinic.com.

Jailing them instead of bribing them. Iowa has drastically altered its approach to the film industry in the last few years. Where it once lured them with lavish film credits, meaning free cars and cash, it now merely provides lodging. From WHOtv.com:
The Iowa Court of Appeals has affirmed the sentencing of a Minnesota filmmaker who pleaded guilty to fraudulent practices.
Wendy Weiner Runge was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in connection with Iowa's film tax credit scandal. She was the owner and operator of a film company that applied for tax credits from the Iowa Film Office in 2008.
Ms. Runge said the sentencing judge improperly considered her combative blog posts as evidence of lack of remorse. The appeals court held otherwise:
Similarly, here, the court properly considered Runge's statements criticizing the court's process and disparaging the prosecutors and the judge personally in considering her lack of remorse.
You don't need to go to law school to figure out that if you plead guilty to something, it's unwise to publicly rip the judge before sentencing.
Iowa spent over $30 million on the film industry via transferable film credits — another way of saying "subsidies." A state auditor report said that 80% of the credits were improperly granted. It might have been cheaper to just imprison the filmmakers in the first place.
Link: Appeals court opinion.
From films to fertilizer. The Iowa corporate welfare machine now is focused on a less glamorous industry. On the heels of a huge tax credit grant to build a new fertilizer plant in Eastern Iowa, Iowa announced yesterday an award of up to $70 million of tax credits for a new Sioux City fertilizer plant for a different fertilizer company.
Between the two plants, the state has awarded up to around $180 million in tax credits. This compares to budgeted net receipts for Iowa's corporate income tax of under $400 million.
The state claims the project will bring 2,000 construction jobs and 100 full-time jobs at the plant. If they max out their tax credits, that works out to about $33,300 per job, or $700,000 per "permanent" job. Heck of a deal. Meanwhile every other business has to cope with a horrendously complex state tax system with high rates to support these big credit grants.
The politicians love these press conferences when they can brag about bribing new jobs to the state. Too bad they don't have to call press conferences every time the state's dysfunctional tax system costs a job. But they wouldn't have time for a press conference every day.
