1 Taylor Wessing Real Estate News
2 Taylor Wessing Real Estate News Commercial real estate remains an attractive investment. Today, more than ever, investors are seeking to take advantage of opportunities created by favourable exchange rates and access to foreign capital by investing in overseas assets. Our international real estate practice remains highly active and in this, our latest quarterly report, we outline the trends and developments impacting the real estate sector across our international network. Belgium Market trends: In 2014, rental levels in prime locations and vacancy rates in prime shopping centres and high streets remain stable. Brussels and Antwerp are still the leading commercial cities in Belgium; both cities registered the highest take-up volume. Investment activity in the retail market is expected to improve due to anticipated new large shopping centre projects. Retail warehousing projects are dominating the development scene. Investment activity is picking up - there are fewer transactions but they are larger in size. In addition, the activity in the office market has intensified in 2014, driven by large transactions in the public sector. Belgium has witnessed an increase in the office investment market, with prime space in central locations remaining the most popular investment. Investors are keen to invest in industrial property but are hindered by limited available prime space. Still, moderate growth is expected throughout 2014 and Developers, the public sector and consultants agree that delivering green buildings is necessary and an achievable challenge within the budget of a conventional code-compliant building, although real estate investors and banking companies are not yet convinced. Moreover, the demand for residential buildings in the cities continues to increase. Due to higher density, smaller dwellings will be needed to produce affordable new housing in the coming decade. Regulatory Update: As of July 2014, the retail permit law in Belgium shifted from a federal law to regional decrees. The three regions, Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia all have regional laws currently in force. This regional regime is complex for foreign investors and will require up-to-date advice. CEE Market trends: Austria has seen slight growth which is expected to continue, with Vienna s high standards and low vacancy rates making it one of the most sought-after markets for commercial property. The Czech Republic has seen growing interest in commercial property rentals in city centres and an increase in investment opportunities in agricultural land. In Hungary, the commercial real estate investment market has started to gain momentum, although Budapest has high numbers of vacant commercial premises and relatively low rental levels. In Poland, developers are planning and building new shopping centres throughout the country. The high demand for office space in previous years is encouraging new investment. This trend also applies in Slovakia, where developers are interested in delivering new properties that meet environmental sustainability standards. Farmland investment and residential projects at the outskirts of the cities are also being targeted. In the Ukraine, the real estate market remains attractive to foreign and national investors, particularly following the Ukraine/EU association agreement, with major hotels and business projects expected in Kiev, Donetsk, Lviv and Kharkiv. Regulatory Update: In Austria the new Income Tax on Profits of Real Estate Transactions and a new system of court fees for the Land Registry may lead to increased costs. The new Civil Code in the Czech Republic introduced a number of changes which will impact the real estate arena: we consider this to be the sector s regulatory change of the decade. In Hungary, the ban on building stores, shopping centres or new retail space exceeding 300sqm is important
3 for international investors and retail chains, as developers require Ministry consent to build new malls or supermarkets. In Poland, a recodification of the Construction Code is scheduled for October 2014, with significant progress having been made on deregulation, particularly on the issuance of construction permits. Legislation has been initiated in Slovakia regarding the acquisition of agricultural land with the aim of introducing protective measures and setting qualification and eligibility requirements for farmland owners. Finally, the Ukraine has a new system of land registration and since November 2013 sales of real estate are only allowed following the assessment of the plot s value by a newly licensed residential appraiser. At present only around 100 of the 3,500 appraisers have been relicensed. China Market trends: The Chinese domestic property market has been depressed for quite some time, except for a few popular e-commerce related, high profile tourism and pension housing projects. The stagnated housing market has triggered liberalisation of house purchase and mortgage backed loan restrictions in a number of cities as part of a general economy stimulus plan. Due to the reduced return rate in the domestic property market, we increasingly see Chinese developers and property funds looking to offshore markets. public investors. The Chinese regulatory authority is still focusing on REITs as an internationallyadopted real estate financing product. France Market trends: Investment in real estate has reached 11bn, contracting by 1bn in only a year, a downturn of 8%. The first quarter of 2014 was promising with the sale of four flagship assets in the CBD, but subsequent quarters have seen less activity, the market lacking core assets available for sale. The value-added segment did see activity encouraged by more flexible financing conditions. Regulatory Update: The French government issued a number of significant modifications to real estate law: The Law ALUR changed a number of important laws impacting coownership, the regulation of professional real estate agents and residential leases. In addition, it altered a number of planning law provisions increasing the density and prohibiting the extension of urban areas and modified the regulation of polluted areas regarding the disclosure of information, development projects and clean-up procedures. The Law Pinel modified the provisions of the French commercial code applicable to commercial lease agreements. Regulatory Update: The central and local governments have issued a new round of land supply rules. Shanghai has drastically reformed the industrial land supply rules, which could make it unattractive to foreign investors. In formulating the new city master plan, instead of maintaining or increasing the overall supply of construction land for any type of property development, Shanghai has reduced it. The central government has recently issued similar rules. The first Chinese REITs have also been launched, although they are only available to selected high end private investors rather than open to general
4 These rendered the law more tenant-friendly, which investors must take into consideration when investing into French real estate. The new law disallows the practice whereby tenants promise not to exercise their break-option(s) in return for tangible benefits from the landlord, although it provides exceptions for certain asset classes, including warehouses and offices. Another new provision holds that the uncapped rent of a renewed lease may not be subject to annual increase of more than 10% of the rent paid in the previous year. A further new change obliges landlords to detail every service, tax and fee which they intend to charge and invoice to the tenant. Where an item is not explicitly detailed in the statement, the landlord runs the risk that he will bear the costs. We are expecting an implementation order which will specifically outline the details of this change, but it may put an end to the classic triple net leases. On September 5th, 2014, the French and Luxembourg governments signed a protocol amending the France-Luxembourg Tax Treaty. The protocol makes France entitled to tax capital gains derived by Luxembourg residents from a sale of shares or other rights in any type of entity if more than 50 percent of its value derives directly or indirectly from French real estate assets. The amendment will enter into force following ratification by both countries, and therefore could be effective as early as January 1st, Investors holding French real estate assets through a Luxembourg structure should therefore consider realising their gains or restructuring the ownership of these assets prior to the protocol coming into force. They may consider using a French OPCI as an alternative investment vehicle. OPCIs are exempt from French corporation tax on real estate profits, but they are regulated investment vehicles and subject to the control and supervision of the French financial markets authority The government has indicated that a further amendment will concentrate on the taxation of OPCIs. Germany Market trends 2013: The German commercial property investment market is strong with a total turn-over in the first half of 2013 of 12.6bn. This was the highest half-yearly result since the boom year of Investments continue to concentrate on the big five cities of Berlin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, with office property the dominant use followed by retail property. Whilst demand is still focused on core and core-plus assets, there is an increase in investors willing to take risks in the German market. Regulatory Update: The Tenancy Law Amendment Act came into effect in 2013 and addresses some of the most pressing issues on both landlords and tenants in Germany. These include measures against rapidly rising rents, incentives to undertake energy efficient works and improvements to the landlord s legal position in the event of rent arrears (known as the phenomenon of tenant nomads ). Singapore Market trends: The Singapore property market has been mostly depressed in The cost of private residential properties has decreased, the third straight quarter of price decline. Similarly, rentals of private residential properties fell by 0.6% in Q2 2014, compared with a 0.7% decline in Q The cost of office space remained unchanged in Q2, following a small increase in the previous quarter. On the up side, rentals of office space rose, growing from the 2.4% increase in Q In retail, the cost of shop space declined in Q2 2014, after remaining unchanged in the previous quarter. Rentals of retail space increased in Q2 2014, compared to the decline in the previous quarter.
5 Regulatory Update: Singapore s complex housing market policies include government control on the use of land and active government participation in planning, construction, and housing finance. The last couple of years have seen drastic regulatory changes, including the January 2013 measures that seek to lower LTV limits for non-individual borrowers from 40% to 20%, of interest to any corporate investors seeking to invest in Singapore. Another key regulation announced in 2013 states that under the Total Debt Servicing ratio, the borrower s monthly debt repayment should not exceed 60% of his or her monthly gross income, a reaction to the growing household debt in Singapore. In addition, recent amendments to the Land Acquisition Act seek to update the compensation framework and improve the land acquisition process. This is pivotal to Singapore s development and the facilitation of the building of roads, rail infrastructure, schools, hospitals, industrial parks and public housing for the greater public good, Recognising the impact on property owners affected by land acquisition, with streamlining and improvements introduced, landowners now receive the full benefit of market value compensation of acquired land in Singapore. Regulatory Update: The government has introduced measures to discourage less creditworthy developers from entering the market. These include requiring developers to provide guarantees of 20% of the construction cost, and requiring them to pay 100% of the land costs up front rather than relying on off plan sales. Property transfer fees have been increased from 2% to 4%, and mortgage restrictions have been introduced. The effect of these measures has been to calm the markets, particularly for residential property, which is welcomed. UAE Market Update: The business outlook for Dubai and the UAE is generally strong. Confidence appears to have returned and regional troubles have strengthened its status as a safe haven for Middle East investment. Both the commercial and residential property markets have recovered from their record lows of a few years ago, although we are now seeing sale and rental values level out. The retail market remains strong, with a relatively small number of large malls dominating, assisted by high-end brands willing to take premium space. The industrial sector also remains relatively robust, with a governmentled initiative to shift industry to new open spaces south of Jebel Ali and around the Dubai Investment Park.
6 UK Market trends: London continues to remain the city of choice for international investors on the look-out for prime commercial, residential and mixed use assets. This trend is reflected in recent research which attributes 72% of all investment in Central London office space over the last quarter, to overseas investors. The UK Real Estate practice regularly sees investment coming into the capital from across the globe, with prime assets being purchased by Asian, Middle Eastern and North American buyers. Investment in London real estate is set to be a continuing trend. The capital s population is fast expanding and a strong commercial and residential development pipeline is needed to house the capital s workforce in the next ten years. The benefits of this investment can now also be seen in other parts of the UK, with investors looking for commercial and residential opportunities in key regional cities including Manchester and Liverpool. Another notable trend is investment in high end purpose built student accommodation. Reports in the market indicate an under-supply of luxury student accommodation, which suggests there is still room for the sector to grow, especially in London. There are several reasons as to why luxury student accommodation continues to perform strongly, one of which is the ability of London s internationally renowned universities to attract high net worth students from across the globe. As a result of this constant and relatively stable demand, real estate funds continue to demonstrate an appetite for this asset class and developers remain committed to seeking out potential development sites. This has had the knock on effect of increased competition for prime locations. Regulation: The UK has an unusual concept of rights of light which can cause significant delays on developments particularly high rise towers. The Law Commission has now closed submissions and will be making recommendations as to changes in the law shortly.

CPD - a staple part of the profession's diet
This week we have a special issue on continuing professional development - or CPD as it's better known. It's remarkable how things have moved on, even since the last issue on the topic in December.
CPD is no longer just an event or a course but an everyday process, as Gillian Robinson put it at a recent Professional Learning conference in Glasgow (page 6), so it now crops up everywhere and is evolving in fascinating ways.
Increasingly, people are doing it for themselves, from student teachers at the University of Strathclyde to the most experienced heads in Aberdeen. For professional development, as the Donaldson report on teacher education says, starts from day one of training and is continuous throughout a teacher's career.
Last month, we ran a news story on how third- and fourth-year student teachers from Strathclyde were giving struggling young readers one-to-one tuition four days a week and helping them to make huge progress. Now we have gone into the school in Glasgow to see how the students are developing their own understanding as they endeavour to come up with solutions for each child's difficulties and pass information to fellow students so that they can contribute their insights to the process (page 18).
Up north, secondary teachers in remote schools from Orkney and Shetland to the Western Isles and Perth and Kinross are also collaborating, this time across hundreds of miles, to grapple with the challenges of moderating children's work in Curriculum for Excellence. Staff in single-teacher departments need no longer feel isolated and tentative about their assessments of new courses, as they support each other and share views via webcams and Glow (page 22).
Meanwhile, in West Dunbartonshire, headteachers on the authority's Leadership for Learning programme are inspecting one another's exam results to see how they can notch up attainment (page 5), and in Aberdeen, they are mentoring each other not just in the day-to-day business of running schools but in more strategic matters (page 24).
These initiatives do not reduce the value of action-research programmes like the support groups being piloted by behaviour guru Joan Mowat in Aberdeenshire and Falkirk. Her expertise is helping heads and teachers to discover new ways to cope with situations such as low-level disruption in their schools (News Focus, pages 12-15). But once set up, they can evolve on their own.
Add to those, messages from Mike Gershon on tried-and-tested methods for group work in the classroom (page 26), teachers' ideas and resources for outdoor learning (pages 28-29) and Brian Cooklin on what makes British teachers - and Scottish ones in particular - so appealing to international employers (page 35), and this week's issue is jam-packed with professional advice of one form or another.

|This blog is an official interview of the Fanon Fact Finders. We hope you enjoy it!
Q: Hey Master Ratava, how are you doing today? I have recently read your fanon:Avatar, The Last Skybender. It seems pretty interesting. So I'm gonna ask you a few questions! You ready?
A: Hi Iceland, I'm a little lazy today xD I don't know why, but waking up late makes me feel that I've lost all day... By the way, my fanon title isn't the Last Skybender, bbut the First Skybender hehe. I've made it so it could have a similarity with ATLA. I'm ready, finally. o.ov
Q: So, before we go any further, you should tell me about yourself. Like, what are your interests? Educationally and recreationally?
A: I'm an international trading degree graduated brazilian guy; however my educational interests aren't bound to this area anymore, I like managing stuff, and economics, though everything that pumps my heart is about animation, designing, art concept... I'm about to get be to study, by myself, photoshop, and other programs to begin real animation stuff... like after effects, and maya (I don't know if I'm writing this one right). Despite everything that has to do with my graduation, I've always been interested in anime/manga, and general japanese/chinese/korean culture... I am 26 years old, about to turn 27 in October, and I am kind of a geek/nerd, apparently I am not the kind of "visually identified as a geek/nerd/otaku"... I like cosplays, but I wouldn't be myself a cosplayer. There's a lot of non-anime animation that I like to. A bunch of french ones like Code Lyoko, and Wakfu, also cartoons from the US, as Disney and Warner Bros. ones; or in partnership with the US, as ThunderCats (that I've finished watching the new series first season just yesterday; 1st July) =D
Q: Now, tell me about your interest for Avatar, The Last Airbender. How did you get interested? For how long? What are your personal thoughts on the show?
A: Back in 2009, when I was kind of starting to date someone very important to me (until today)... Actually, it was this girlfriend-to-be (which in case it didn't happen, but that's issue for another time) that downloaded and gave me ATLA episodes in english without subtitles. Which turned to be the first animation in english that I watched without the helping of subtitles. Then after the break-up, I started to write the previous form of my fanon, and got the help of an internet friend, which gave me the idea of the prologue title organization (The Blackbirds Guild). But my interest didn't last long enough after I finished watching, and after the break-up, because ATLA reminded me of her. Anyway... My personal thoughts about it, is that it was the first non-japanese animation that got into my heart without much struggle. Even Disney and Warner's I'm a little reluctant to watch sometimes.
Q: Now how about the Legends of Korra?
A: Korra's been my "weekend joy" for these last months. It's much more likable to re-watch than ATLA, however I don't know if it is because it is a new and high quality animation... I like the story, I didn't like much the ending of its first season, It left me without much to think about what's going to have on the next one. I'm not the theory kind of fan. Above all things it gave me strength to keep on writing my fanon, and my fanon's been my way of letting things that daily upset me go away, into form of text... I do some kind of catharsis...
Q: Okay, now tell me how you joined this wiki?
A: I was/am still suffering from a break-up, but during this semester, I kind of got a way better. I joined the wiki (and Avatar Wiki is my home wiki) because I was trying to occupy my time on the computer, and not being a stalker. Which I actually achieved, and now I don't even use the other networks I used to. Anyway, I joined here on the right time.
Q: And how you got interested fact finders user group?
A: Wings founded it, and I was trying to fit the wiki standards, and be more useful to people here. I was eager to occupy my time and not let my thoughts lead me to "depressive/break-up" zone. So, FFF was the most enjoyable choice.
Q: Okay, could you please explain when and how you decided you wanted to write a fanon? Who or what Inspired you?
A: I decided back in 2009, when I thought, and when Aang dies, what could be of the Airbenders, I thought about "genetics" in thw World of Avatar... And started to think about what if there was another kind of bending, and another land that was "lost". I thought of using "skybending", because it sounded much alike Skywalker (a little of Jedi inspiration here), but there are a lot of others, many of those are anime that I watched: as Saint Seiya, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Shurato. There's a list, remember me to upload it. ^_~
Q:I noticed how the main page of your fanon involves complicated templates! Did you do this yourself?
A: Yeah, I copied the navigation and the header templates from the ones Water Spout made for the BSST (then I changed their looks), the body of the fanon layout structure I did myself, actually I'm planning on changing it, but I still didn't get the chance to stop and actually dedicate the time to elaborate another design.
Q: And, who specifically assisted you in the editing process? What specific role did they play?
A: At first a friend of mine, in the real world ^_^, helped me he even got registered, then due to his studies we got a little apart. Who's been helping me a lot at editing the story are AvatarRokusGhost and MibuWolf, beta-readers; and the guys that had commented already are people that I try to get inspiration from, too. I have been receiving a lot of help by MateyY, but not about the story (this is a surprise that in a future I'll tell.)
Q: I also saw that you crafted it kind of like a script. You have an introduction much like the one in the real show. What gave you the idea to do that?
A: That was the first thing that I wrote about the fanon, at first it was a little different from the way it is now, because the "enemies" weren't called "The Sky Parliament", the original idea was about a "Sky Republic", and because of Korra I changed it. Actually the idea I took inspiration from the first ATLA episode; I even recorded it myself xD huaahuahau
Q: And, what in all gave you the idea of the plot behind your fanon?
A: About the plot, I've been doing some researching about related themes. Most of the plot are the way I thought Bryke could have done right from the beginning of the canon shows, instead of having just 4 bending styles. Not only 5, you'll see. I've been trying to mix the idea of genetics with bending and with some chinese issues... That's the base of my plot. But everything readers can see is the story lines of the characters, and they'll tell the process.
Q: So why did you state the entire process? It's very detailed.
A: About the googling way of researching xD Actually it's the truth, I've dedicated a few hours looking for information and images, and inspiration there. =] I mean, about the chinese centered issues ^_^ That I am not very well aware of, so I still may be a little wrong, depending on the sources I found, but since I've found many and it's a fanon, so I ask readers do'nt take it too seriously; after all I am just one person and those issues aren't my expertise. =]
Q: How much longer do you suppose you will continue the fanon?
A: I plan of keep on writing, I know the idea isn't short, I may be sufficient for a bunch of "books". But at the moment I'm writing the third chapter, so, I have to be patient. =x
Q: How were the reviews for the fanon? I would expect they were very high!
A: I got surprised about readers saying that my writing is addicting, xD I actually loved that. I felt flattered/honoured that my efforts had been good enough for somebody to say that to me. I just hope people enjoy reading, after all, the time spent on the wiki shall be for relaxing and having fun.
Q: Anything else you would like to add Master?
A: I liked very much the way you did your questions, and I think, as I said you'd done, that you nailed it. =]
I'll say an earlier "welcome" to the Fanon Fact Finders. I am just waiting for this interview to get published.
Q: Thanks for your time! When I get your responses I will have a blog post made and possibly ask 888th avatar to feature it in the Ba Sing Se times! Well, bye!
A: Thanks for your time too, I am looking forward to see this interview layout/design and your next interview. :D

by Jack Singer, Ph.D.
Licensed Sport/Clinical Psychologist
One of the most requested services I receive from athletes of all ages and levels of skill is help controlling their anger. This is such a common concern, that I developed an Anger Mastery hypnosis series just for this purpose.
Anger is a "normal emotion" and when controlled, can actually serve some very practical purposes, such as becoming an energizer and motivator. You can channel the strength and energy of your angry emotions into finding a practical solution to the problems that evoked the anger.
Techniques for Controlling and Mastering Your Anger
- Recognize the trigger to your anger. Is this a recurrent situation that you need to be on the lookout for?
- Think of alternative responses to that trigger. Examples are taking a series of deep breaths through your diaphragm and then giving yourself some positive self talk about how you are happy that you are controlling your reactions.
- Rehearse self-talk that you will use in the future, when you are provoked. For example, "I can control myself and don't need to react with anger. I will be very pleased when I react with calmness."
- Take charge of "should" statements. Stop thinking about what the other player or the ref should or should not have done.
- Take responsibility for your angry reactions. Instead of saying to yourself, "That guy is making me angry," change it to "I don't have to allow myself to feel angry when he does that." This gives you a feeling of control, which will lessen the probability of you reacting with anger.
- Discuss the triggers that provoke you with someone you trust, such as a teammate, roommate, girlfriend or counselor. The act of discussing it my help you ultimately to let the steam out of your system and gain control.

This report states nearly eight times as many current and former Energy Department staff members were affected by a July computer hack than was previously estimated, according to the agency's inspector general.

Carven keeps it chic at Paris Fashion Week
Carven stayed true to its chic aesthetic during Paris Fashion Week on Thursday morning (03Mar16)
Design duo Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud, who took over the reigns last year (15), unveiled a stylish, wearable Autumn/Winter 16 range complete with both graphic prints and one-tone pieces.
For those looking to make a statement during the daytime, there was a grey wrap-coat with a black belt and a black and white stripe down the collar, as well as a pastel purple padded jacket. The rainy winter days were taken into account too thanks to a shiny black rain mac with a large tie around the waist.
Relaxed eveningwear made an appearance in the form of a pale blue and white wavy-print skirt worn with a long sleeved top featuring bright blue sparkling embellishments on the front. The most feminine offering of them all though was a baby pink mini dress, with cut outs around the bottom rim and detailing to resemble a bra over the chest. Paired with a cute matching coloured clutch, this particular number had a retro Parisian vibe to it.
Earlier in the morning, Chloe toyed with textures for its Autumn/Winter 16 collection, boasting everything from leather to tulle. The French fashion house mixed things up for its latest range, with designer Clare Waight Keller sending an array of clashing pieces down the runway.
The brand's official Twitter account described the line as one for "romantic wanderers" as models floated in garments like a peach coloured gown with a ruffled layered skirt and a sheer dress with long, billowing caped sleeves as well as a train. The front featured colourful detailing resembling feathers, giving the illusion the girl could spread her wings and take flight.
In contrast were outfits such as red, beige and black striped leather trousers worn with a matching jacket, and a black long-sleeved leather jumpsuit, complete with a small Parisian-style scarf around the beck.
Cover ups featured heavily too, with coats in the form of a dark green fur number and a fluffy white design.
Shows continue on Thursday with the likes of Balmain and Rick Owens presenting.

Asylums, Mental Health Care and the Irish
Edited by: Pauline M. Prior
This book is a collection of studies on mental health services in Ireland, from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day. In addition to an analysis of overall trends in patient numbers and an exploration of the development of mental health law on the island of Ireland (North and South), there are studies on individual hospitals. These include: the famous nursing strike at Monaghan Asylum in 1919, when a red flag was raised over the building * extracts from Speedwell, a hospital newsletter, showing the social and sporting life at Holywell Hospital during the 1960s * an exploration of diseases, such as beriberi and tuberculosis at Dundrum and Richmond in the 1890s * the legal action taken by the Belfast Asylum against the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the 1860s to avoid appointing chaplains * the problems encountered by doctors in Ballinasloe Asylum as they tried to exert their authority over the Governors * the experiences of Irish emigrants who found themselves in asylums in Australia and New Zealand. The book also includes a discussion of mental health services in Ireland from 1959 to 2010, the first time such a chronology has been published.

Problems with regedit & msconfig (Win XP)
I am trying to disable a file that is giving us trouble and may be the cause of this problem. Going to Run/msconfig and the dialog box opens for 2 seconds and then closed immediately. Our Pop-up killer is off. Any suggestions?

Re: Problems with regedit & msconfig (Win XP)
Does it block the Task Manager, too? If not, you could try to kill any suspicious processes that could be closing down these windows. If so, you might have to restart Windows is a different mode...if that's still supported in XP...

Re: Problems with regedit & msconfig (Win XP)
Don't know what the program is, but you wouldn't be disabling it--you'd keep it from running on start. I think but if after a reboot msconfig is still behaving this way it might be corrupt, because like everything else in Windows, it can. You can see if this will fix it:
To extract: Open a command prompt window. Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter the following command:
EXPAND -R X:I386MSCONFIG.EX_ Z:WINDOWSPCHEALTHHELPCTRBINARIES. This will extract a new copy of the MSCONFIG.EXE from the CD.
Thanks to Kelly's XP for this fix--give it a try.

School board family bails out
Math spurs Segert to pull son out of public school.
Published Monday, January 5, 2009
Columbia Board of Education member Ines Segert, a staunch critic of the school district's reformed math strategies, is putting her money where her mouth is.
Segert has pulled her son, Julian, out of Columbia Public Schools to enroll him in private schooling this semester. Julian started classes at Columbia Independent School today, and Ines Segert expects he'll remain there next school year, as well.
Segert acknowledges that it is a blow to the school district's reputation, but she stressed that her decision is a personal one, not a message against public schools. She, her husband, Jan, and Julian made the decision because they didn't feel he was learning the math he had hoped to learn in his algebra class at West Junior High School last semester.
"Parents have to do what's best for their child, and being in this class was not what was best for Julian," Segert said. "I'm a parent; that's my first priority. As a school board member, my goal is to try to have the best educational opportunities for all students, and that's what I've been working toward. But it's important to let parents know how math is being taught."
Last year, the Segerts pulled Julian out of math class to teach him more traditional strategies at home, instead. Jan Segert is a mathematics professor at the University of Missouri. "We thought when he chose the algebra track" this year "that would solve problems," Segert said. "But we were disappointed with the strategies used in algebra. We were unhappy with the way the class is taught."
Students at the secondary level have the option of taking integrated, or reformed, math or the more traditional algebra track. But Segert fears that even the algebra courses aren't being taught in a way that would prepare students for college-level mathematics.
Segert said her fear was confirmed when she discovered a three-year grant involving the school district, the University of Missouri's College of Education and Columbia College. The $1.4 million grant, known as "Supporting Teachers - Amplifying Children's Knowledge," or STACK, was awarded by the state in 2007 and continues into next school year. Essentially, the money is being used to train 125 teachers to use reformed math strategies in all 6-12 math courses. Teachers participate in a summer academy, coaching and follow-up meetings and activities, and they're required to implement the strategies they learn into their classrooms. The grant specifically says "reformed-based strategies" must be used in classes, and that teachers should let students "struggle with important mathematics."
Basically, Segert said she doesn't want her son in an experimental group "where new strategies are being tried out."
Interim Superintendent Jim Ritter this morning defended the language of the grant, saying teachers must use strategies that work best for the children in their classrooms. Even though he has called for a return to more traditional math next year, "that doesn't mean there won't be an element of reformed math that creeps in there if that's what helps a child learn," Ritter said. "Our approach will be more traditional math that's what I have indicated to the board. But that doesn't mean if a teacher feels a child can learn best in a different way, they won't go in that direction."
Ritter said Segert told him of her decision ahead of time. "Parents have to do what they feel is best for their child or children," he said. "If this is what she feels is best for the young man to send him to Columbia Independent School I would certainly support that."
Segert stressed that she still supports public education and the district. "CPS is a very good district, but we have to be honest about what is working and what is not working for students," she said. "We have to have a real decision about where parents want to see the district go. I'm not doing this as a message; I'm doing it for my son."

Long before the first European explorers set foot on Florida soil, numerous Native American tribes hunted, honored their gods, built burial mounds, and coexisted with one another in pockets of settlements across the state. Explores the importance of archaeology in preserving the past for future generations, how archaeologists do their work, and even how young people can gain hands-on experience on a real dig. The different types of Indian mounds burial mounds, shell middens, and platform mounds and their uses are explained, as well as Indian languages and reservations. Provides detailed descriptions of 185 sites on the Native American Heritage Trail that mark important historical events, as well as a calendar of important dates that highlights the history, culture, setbacks, and successes of Florida's Native Americans.

Mary and Martha

Critic Reviews

- Publication
- By date
HBO subscribers thereby are the beneficiaries of a film with star power and staying power. It won't surprise you with its outcome--or for the most part, how it gets there. But it may well have more of an impact than anticipated.
The actresses' chemistry makes up for an earnest predictability in the storytelling.
In heart-tugging fashion, writer Richard Curtis and director Phillip Noyce frame the duo's attempts to raise awareness about this preventable disease [malaria].
While Swank and Blethyn make everything they're in more remarkable for their presence, the movie plays more like a based-on-fact Lifetime flick than an HBO work of fiction.

Like the proverbial bar bet where everyone believes they're right, pointing to Oscar and acknowledging the many missteps in reward judgment they've made is an exercise in communal commentary. For all the times AMPAS shows drive and determination, they more often than not resort to politics, pandering, and the lure of overpowering publicity. And then there are those cases were personal preference, not universal aesthetics, lead to isolated and individualized criticism. Again recognizing that the voting membership is comprised of all previous nominees, along with occasional invited inductees, the insular nature of the beast is pretty darn obvious. But as was pointed out in a previous article on the subject, some mistakes just seem egregious in nature.
This time around, we will again pick out ten more Academy atrocities, instances were consensus would argue greatly and defiantly with the standing decision made. Certainly there will be some who wince at a few of the selections, and others will wonder where their own personal pet peeve is. Given time, and continued public outcry, the Oscars may finally get their script together. Until then, they will have more than enough miscues to keep their mangled myth alive. Along with last year's list, let's mull over these baffling beauties, shall we, beginning with:
Some Oscar picks so sully their award post-victory that they deserve to give it back. In the case of Ms. Zellwegger, a mere return would not be enough. Ever since copping her prize for this piecemeal Civil War era epic, she's gone from tolerable to unwatchable. She almost singlehandedly sunk George Clooney's Leatherheads and Ed Harris' Appaloosa. With her most recent starring vehicle New in Town DOA at the box office, she's a bigger embarrassment to the category than Marisa Tomei and Mira Sorvino combined.
The love of old school musicals was still heavy in the air when Vincent Minelli unleashed this twee take on the City of Light. Using the music of George and Ira Gershwin was a masterstroke, and star Gene Kelly was as graceful and forceful as ever. But the rest of the movie was maudlin, syrupy and incessantly melodramatic. And when you compare it to the formidable pair of George Stevens' Place and Elia Kazan's Streetcar, this is a clear case of fantasy winning out over cinematic artistry.
Here it is - the one and only time Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz will be associated directly with an Oscar winning movie (no, Dreamgirls doesn't count since it wasn't even nominated). While some may argue with the downplaying of Dreamworks megahit, it's clearly doesn't maintain the same caliber of creativity as Pixar's creature feature. Today, the ogre's tale seems forced and rather dated. As with most of the masterworks from the other computer generating geniuses, the beasts look better than ever.
Another unnecessary win, another predicable career downfall. After beating out better competitors to take home Oscar gold, Hunt has gone from almost A-lister to footnote, systematically reduced from romantic co-star (What Women Want, Cast Away) to secondary sidelights in innocuous, unexceptional fare (The Curse of the Jade Scorpion). In a mad dash to save her flagging performance options, she was even reduced to going full frontal in her latest film (The Sessions). At this point, any of 1998's other actresses (including Titanic's Kate Winslet) looks like the wiser choice.
Like An American in Paris, we have another case of overdone glamour besting actual cinematic superiority. Audrey Hepburn looks fetching, but she can't sing. Rex Harrison's not much better, and he took home his own Academy Award for mumbling his way through this musical. As with most song fests, the composers literally save the day. Frederick Lowe and Alan Jay Lerner deliver the kind of soundtrack that professional crooners simply die for. And in light of the competition that year, this frilly affront should have stayed a sonic stage experience only.

Well folks, its been a crazy week online this week. Is it part of the holidays, or simply that more vulnerabilities are going 'unfixed' and the hackers are finding more? You be the judge. We definitely think that there is a 'retribution' slant to most of the major issues this week, specifically with Rockyou!
Rockyou.com Falls Victim to simple hack, Major exposure!
One of the more interesting facets of the story is RockYou's failure to appropriately protect user's login credentials. The hacker showed us an image containing the last few lines of a 32,603,388-line, seven-column dataset weighing in at 276 MB. All the data we saw was in plain text; any grade schooler could have used this information to log in to users' accounts. Link to Original Story
If you are interested, the most easterly point of North America
Long a fan of the 'virtual google traveler', I have found an interesting article using google maps to 'visit' locales. In this case, its the most easterly point of North America! Link to Story
SEO Poisoning
I came across and interesting question in LinkedIn that asked what was SEO poisoning. We recently had a customer that came to us with this nasty, nasty infection. Its ugly, and it hurts. Read all about it here.
US and Russia being cyber-SALT talks
This reminds me of the good old days of the SALT talks. Remember those? When we had nukes pointing at each other for MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) needs? Well, now we're in the Web 2.0 world, and the conversation has changed. Full Story here
All in all, a very busy week! I hope your preparations for the holidays are not too crazy for you, and wish you and yours a safe and joyous holiday (however you may celebrate it!)

TAC Receives Nelson Mandela Health and Human Rights Award at Ceremony in Johannesburg Tonight
6 October 2003
Venue: 107 Central Street Houghton
Time: 16:30
The Treatment Action Campaign was awarded the Nelson Mandela Health and Human Rights Award for 2003 earlier this year. Tonight the award will be handed to members of the TAC at a ceremony in Houghton, Johannesburg. The award is sponsored by the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation.
This is a time of great hope in the effort to alleviate the HIV epidemic. Government is in the process of finalising an operational treatment plan which has the potential, if properly implemented, to save hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of lives. In accepting the award, the TAC will outline the responsibilities of government and the private sector towards the HIV epidemic. The TAC will also explain its own responsibilities and how we will assist to ensure the treatment plan is a success.
We are honoured to receive this prestigious award. Many TAC members have died of HIV/AIDS over the last few years in the struggle for access to treatment. It is to their efforts and our memories of them that we will dedicate this award.
