A FATHER-of-six who has flouted restraining orders to keep away from his ex-partner 23 times, has been locked up for six weeks.
Burnley magistrates heard how Howard Crabtree, 45, had run out of the back of the woman's property after police turned up.
Crabtree had just been released from a four-week jail term after being in breach of a suspended prison sentence over the order.
Crabtree, of Moorland Road, Burnley, admitted failing to comply with a restraining order and is now back behind bars.
Charlotte Crane, prosecuting, said under the 12-month order, which runs until September next year, the defendant was banned from contacting his former partner and from attending her home.
On November 27, police received a phone call to say Crabtree was at his ex's property in Herbert Street.
Officers attended. She was not present, but police were led into the house by a female friend. The defendant was then seen to run out of the house and was arrested.
Miss Crane said it was the 23rd time Crabtree had breached a restraining or non-molestation order since 2007 and he had been sent to prison in October. She added: "He has no intention at all of adhering to any orders imposed by the court."
Mark Williams, defending, said there had been no direct contact with the former partner, as she was not at the premises at the time.
The defendant came out of custody about a week ago and had been trying to put things back together since that time.
He had gone to the house to try and find out what had happened to his children. Crabtree, who had a history of alcoholism, had, since his release, been to Inspire,was trying to secure accommodation and was due to go on a course.
Mr Williams said: "It seems that he has used his time in custody very well and came out with all the right intentions."

Well, here in the Philippines, people are getting to hit summer vacations! And we are known for some beaches.
I scanned some of my photos and found these.
This photo above was taken in Surigao del Sur. Britannia Islands. Island hopping and scuba diving. They call this island a vanishing island. As high tide, only part of the island is seen.
This island has caves and corals. One of the islands of Britannia.
This photo is taken in Samal, Davao del Sur. An island just a few minutes away from Davao City. There are a lot beaches here. A variety of choices.
Happy Summer!

We all have our own personal stories of procrastination. Most probably took place in a college dorm room, where we chose a midnight movie or a trip out with friends over prepping for a paper due the next day. While we may accept a degree of procrastination as normal in adulthood, it's nevertheless important for parents to be on the lookout for this kind of behavior in their children. Procrastination, if left to its own devices, can grow with your child into an overwhelming problem.
Parents who notice their child is avoiding homework or chores should first check to see what underlying cause, if any, is behind the procrastination. Children can become anxious over tasks they don't feel equipped to handle, get overwhelmed by the physical demands of a task, or simply be distracted by something else close by. Once you find a cause, you can begin to work with your child to remedy the situation and nip the procrastination.
I recently shared some of my thoughts on this topic in Charlotte Parent, and wanted to continue the conversation as fall approaches, likely bringing with it new responsibilities, chores, assignments, and other new challenges for your child.
There are a few things parents can do early on – between the ages of 3 and 5 – to help instill a sense of responsibility in their child and prevent the tendency to procrastinate from ever developing. Learning responsibility will also better prepare your child to concentrate on and persist through challenging tasks – one of the six emotional skills children need as they enter school.
Here are three actions that will help your young child become more accountable.
1. Assign a task that is simple and doable. Straightforward routine assignments are a fundamental stepping stone to teaching your child responsibility. Tasks you might assign include making the bed each morning; taking his/her plate to the sink after meals; or putting away toys after play time.
2. Be consistent. If you ask a child to make his/her bed each day, then be sure to have a bed-check right after breakfast. If you're sporadic with checking, your child will be sporadic with chores.
3. Reward your child when they complete tasks on time. Rewarding the routine also enforces the routine. This can be as simple as adding a gold star sticker to a chore chart.
When older children procrastinate, the parents' role becomes more complex. Tasks become more comprehensive, and there are often challenging decisions to be made. If your child has left a huge project until the night before, do you help him/her with the project to avoid a poor grade, or allow the child to receive the poor grade as a consequence? To avoid having to make this decision, parents should step in when a child is assigned his/her first large school project. This is the time to start teaching your child time management – one of the most wonderful gifts you can give him/her.
Consider these three strategies for tackling procrastination with your older child.
1. Take out the calendar. Time management begins and ends with the calendar. Just giving a student a deadline for a major assignment is not effective. Rather, parents should work with their child to reiterate the due date and ask him/her to mark the date on the family calendar. Then, star the three days prior to the deadline, and offer a reward if the project is done by one of those dates (give your child and yourself a big pat on the back if you accomplish this!).
2. Break the project down into smaller tasks. Ask your child to explain the larger scope of the project and the final expectations. Then, show him/her how to break it into three main parts and estimate how much time they'll need to complete every individual step. Mark all those deadlines on the calendar. This practice will help your child realize the intensity of the project without feeling overwhelmed. More importantly, it will teach him/her the importance of spacing the project out over time and allotting time in the calendar long before the deadline.
3. Reinforce the project. To solidify your child's commitment and understanding of the project and all its moving parts, take your child on a shopping trip to buy the necessary supplies s/he will need. Have your child make up the shopping list. By virtue of talking through his/her plan while writing the list, s/he will further understand the scope of the project and will be better prepared to tackle it. Not to mention, s/he will be less likely to forget any supplies!
If you don't ace your first attempt at curbing procrastination, don't be discouraged. Time management is a complex skill, and it may take time for your child to master. It's critical to hold your child accountable and be consistent no matter what the outcome. If the night before deadline arises and the project isn't done, then it's time for parents to retrace their steps and think about why this is. Review all the actions you took to try to nail down where you went astray and identify areas for improvement.
And, in regards to the task at hand, it's time to let the light stay on later and let the student learn the hard way that help won't always be available when you've waited until the last minute. It's time for him/her to face the music and accept the grade earned. S/he may not appreciate it now, but by the time college rolls around, s/he will thank you for the time management training!

The electronic Medical Device Reporting (eMDR) program allows for the electronic submission of mandatory medical device reports (MDRs), which are regulated under federal law (21 CFR 803). The eMDR program changes how reports are submitted—it does not change what is considered reportable or what information those reports should contain.
The electronic MDRs are sent in a standard format, specifically the Health Level Seven (HL7) v3 Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) release 1 data model. Each type of MDR submitted (intial/30-day, 5-day, and supplements to already submitted reports) are sent using a single ICSR report.
There are two options for submitting MDRs electronically, and both options are available to all reporters.

Time and again, rumors surface about the possible update of the 2003 guidance on the scope and application of 21 CFR Part 11. The never-ending speculation attests to the enduring interest in Part 11, not to mention the continued scrutiny of the regulation.
Asked to comment on the status of the 2003 guidance, Erica Jefferson, an FDA press officer, told GxP Lifeline: "There are currently no plans to update the guidance. We are still performing inspections per the 2003 guidance."
Jefferson, FDA Office of Public Affairs' team leader for medical products and tobacco, said the agency has been conducting "focused" inspections since 2010. "For the past year and a half, the FDA has been performing some focused inspections related to Part 11 controls in an effort to determine industry compliance and understanding," she said.
Part 11 is here to stay, and the 2003 guidance remains in place. So, what does this mean for your company? Quite simply, it means understanding Part 11 is critical, now more than ever.

Smashing Pumpkins – Best Animated Album Covers
'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'
The Smashing Pumpkins definitely saw their star rise with the ambitious 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' double album back in 1995. The cover art for this classic collection featured a woman emerging from a star that was shooting through the atmosphere.
Keeping that in mind, the GIF creator for this animated album cover just let her continue her journey, speeding off to destinations unknown, stopping just long enough to say hello to the viewer before speeding away. Perhaps she's off to meet the moon people from the 'Tonight Tonight' video.

What would you wear? - reception parents Xmas party(15 Posts)
Thanks for all the help! Went and got a black mock wrap dress from coast today, called Olivia I think (20% off too!) I feel great in it and I think it's a younger cut than some others in the same style and is a good length - just on the knee so not too long & hopefully not frumpy. I couldn't find any black trousers I was happy with so options are jeans with nice top or the black wrap dress which I think will be useful for other stuff anyway.
Yes those trousers are really nice. Also if you DO want to wear your jeans what about wearing them with the French connection mini sequins jacket which is currently in the sale with a cream top underneath?
Would rather be over dressed than underdressed.
The Phase 8 green wrap dress is great and would look good with opaques, heels and a statement necklace.
Stay away from jeans for a Christmas do. IME, most women use this time of year to break away from the jeans & top combo. If you feel more inclined towards trousers then go for black skinnies and a top.
these from Zara are not so scarily skinny in the flesh and are a nice quality (they are part of Zara's Basic range). But check out Zara anyway - I always think they are a good blend of grown up chic and trends.
Nice tops for the jeans
If you are going to wear jeans I would wear a really nice top. A blouse and blazer is ok if they are interesting colours. Don't wear a white blouse and black blazer though. Maybe a red top with a bit of sparkle?
I would go with the dress and boots. Maybe this if you are pearshaped - they have it in black if you prefer.
I will see what else I can find...
Do jeans look good?
Why not those and a floppy blouse? Proper belt too.
Oh and I don't have a leather jacket or a blazer, but the suggestion is not too plain - plain is good!
Thankyou for your help so far - yes I think it's the inbetweenyness of the occasion that's the problem, and is it just me that has a huge fear of being the most-over-dressed one?
My boot cut jeans are as you describe, Ruby. I don't have a white silk shirt & don't wear much white at all, also don't have that many accessories (I know - I'm a project!) but I DO have a sparkly scarf and heels. I also like the sound of a wrap around dress so will have a look. Could I wear with smartish long leather boots perhaps?
ok, if you really want to wear bootleg jeans make sure they're a really dark indigo wash, wear with heeled boots and wear the jeans really long, almost on the floor, put with a white silk shirt and then wear smart accesories, an understated statementy necklace and/or some pretty dangly earrings. then if you have a leather jacket wear that with a scarf with a bit of sparkle/sequins. Otherwise a smartish blazer. either of which you can take off on arrival.
But you are much younger than me so maybe that is too plain.
Wear a TUNIC
This is the sort of in between occasion that I struggle with. Daily wear I can do, full on glamour I can do but never know what to wear to these type of events. Jeans with evening top heels may work but if it's full of yummy mummy types they may be dressed up more than that.
How about a wrap around dress? I have a black one from coast from last year and can be glammed up with heels/jewellery or dressed down with flats. Coast have a few more wrap dresses in this year. There's also a green one and blue one in phase eight which look nice online but haven't seen in irl.
The other thing I love is cropped trousers. I love the look of the bistro crops from boden but most places have them at the moment. I just always worry about cold feet at this time of ŷear though.
Not sure if that helps at all. Have fun.
Oh and budget is not too much of a worry within reason if its something I really like and will use.
I've got just over a week, I've probably got a couple of shopping opportunities next week for a couple of hours at a time with a toddler in tow, or online is good.
how long have you got and how much to spend? have a few ideas based on what you wrote but depends on budget and time. Can you get to shops or online only?
Dear fashionistas/style gurus - the school parents Xmas party for our class is approaching and I've got outfit dilemmas. To build a picture of the event - It's a London state primary school, not exactly very diverse, affluent area with a high proportion of yummy mummy types. The event is in the evening at a local restaurant/wine bar where we've got the whole place, I think they'll be a buffet.
I am a 5'4" pear shaped size 14 and I tend to dress quite safely but am trying to be braver and find my style! I'm early 30s but dress quite conservatively I think partly due to having been more overweight than I am now for a long time which limits options! I buy a lot of stuff from monsoon and next.
Not sure what kind of thing I should wear, what would you go for?
I have a couple of eveningy tops but not really the right bottoms for them, only quite smart jeans (bootcut - chicken drumstick-like thighs do not allow skinnies)... Would really appreciate your guidance and opinion!

Kingston HyperX Beast Overview
It is not often you see a 64GB memory kit! Right now the standard is 16GB kits and with the popularity of the Z77 chipset that means they are dual channel kits (8GBx2). This 64GB kit is a made up of eight 8GB modules. This means you will only be able to use this kit in systems where you have 8 DIMM slots available (Intel X79).
The modules themselves have a green PCB and black heatspreader. On the heatspreader you will find both the Kingston and HyperX beast logos. Of course on one of the sides you are also going to find a sticker that lists all of the important information. Again for reference we are reviewing the KHX21C11T3FK8/64X kit.
The black heatspreaders have a sort of fin design at the top and actually extend past the actual PCB on the memory. The official height of the modules are 1.827-inches (48.41mm) so make sure that you are going to have clearance for the modules before you purchase them.

CBS TV Studios is in the very early stages to develop the new version of the classic TV series.
A new version of the classic TV series "The Twilight Zone" is in the works with CBS TV Studios at the helm of the development of the modern-day revival. While there are no writers yet and no network is set yet for the new edition of the TV classic, science-fiction "X-Men" director Bryan Singer has been tagged as the show's executive producer, exciting expectant fans of the popular sci-fi series.
The original 1959-64 edition of "The Twilight Zone", created and hosted by Rod Serling, is considered as one of the best shows of all time. Succeeding editions of the show, the '80's revamp from 1985-1989 and the short-lived UPN revival from 2002, however, have struggled to keep audiences.
Given that CBS Studios produces content only for CBS, which aired the original show, it seems likely that CBS will again be the home of the Twilight Zone's new version. A revival of "The Twilight Zone" seems to be very timely as sci-fi and horror series like AMC's "The Walking Dead" and NBC's "Revolution" are delivering big ratings.
A movie version of "The Twilight Zone" with by Warner Bros. with actor Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producer has been indefinitely shelved. The film's storyline will be about a test pilot who returns to Earth after an experimental flight, only to discover that he's already 96 years into the future.

EXPRESSIVE art from young local talent has come together for a month-long showcase at Bridgwater's Arts Centre.
Year 10 and 11 students at Elmwood, Haygrove and Chilton Trinity schools, Bridgwater College Academy and Robert Blake Science College are exhibiting their creative efforts.
Amy Wiltshire, art teacher at Chilton Trinity, said: "This year we've tried to ensure that current students are in it so they have a chance to feel good about their work and celebrate.
"There's a great selection of skills, angles and aims – it's a real step up in quality."
Haygrove School art head Barry Heath said: "The work from Haygrove's year 10 and 11s spans acrylic paints and mixed media through to watercolours, sculpture and photographs.
"We have portraiture, pop culture and work from the topic 'Fantastic and Strange', which is more surrealist."
Nicola Mannion, creative head at Bridgwater College Academy, said: "The work is far more personalised this year and identities have been a big theme.
"It's great for students to see the calibre of work they're up against, and actually, whether they're doing GCSE or BTEC, they're all doing the same thing."
Kate Lang, art teacher at Elmwood, for students with complex and multiple learning needs, said: "It's one of the best exhibitions we've had. It all looks very professional.
"I know from carnival that we have a lot of talent and it shows."
The Bridgwater schools' GCSE Art Exhibition runs until Friday, February 7, 10am to 3pm, Wednesday to Friday, 7pm to 10pm on Wednesdays, and 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Police arrested a man Sunday on suspicion of the murder of a 36-year-old Lake City woman.
According to officials, police were able to locate Carlis Lindsey, 31, due to a stabbing that occurred earlier in the day.
When officers went to Lindsey's residence at 378 Northeast Double Run Road they found the house next door had the door kicked in and saw blinds moving.
After police ordered Lindsey to surrender, he came out of the house. When the house was checked out by police they found prescription bottles and pills scattered on the floor.
After arriving to the police station, Lindsey passed out and was sent to North Florida Regional Medical Center for treatment.
According to court records, Lindsey has an extensive criminal record, with prior arrests for aggravated assault on a pregnant woman, false imprisonment and drug possession. Just last year, Avinger filed an injunction against him for dating violence.
The news of Lindsey's arrest was what Sanshea Green, Avinger's cousin, had been praying for.
"We are so relieved that they caught him. I can't say how much rejoicing there is. We just wanted to see justice done," Green said.
Even though her cousin is gone, Green said she still feels Avinger's presence.
"We had a candlelight vigil for her yesterday" Green said. "With the wind blowing, you would think that the candles was out and the candles are still lit. She is here with us. She is actually here with us."
Green said now that the family has peace of mind, their focus is honoring Avinger's memory and taking care of her three children. She also made one final plea to women everywhere.
"If you're in a domestic violence relationship, please don't be scared to get out of it, because you never know what the outcome will be. This is to all young women that's out there. Get some help."
A VyStar account has been set up for Avinger's three children for those want to make donations. The account is in Avinger's name.

Joshua Holland (senior writer and editor at Alternet.org) reports, via Twitter, that the San Francisco Commune at 888 Turk St (@Gough) is still occupied by as many as two dozen occupiers. The SFPD is still keeping watch, but only a dozen cops are on the scene. Barricades have been set up inside to prevent police from entering rooms inside the building.
Occupiers of the once vacant property, owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, are determined to hold the building through the night and into the morning. Please come by and join us!
According to the SF Appeal, two people were arrested, Jesse Nesbitt, 34 (still in custody on aggravated assault, aggravated assault of a police officer and felony vandalism charges) and Adam Delia, 24 (cited and released on suspicion of being a pedestrian in the roadway and disobeying a traffic officer).
As of 10PM, the SFPD have withdrawn from the vicinity of the commune.
We are asking people to come down to the SF Commune tonight to bear witness if the SFPD decides to raid the building. Please bring your smartphones, camcorders and cameras, as well as food and cigarettes to share.
If you have any new information to report, please email email@example.com or tweet @freemansullivan on Twitter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/7/2012 (1846 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — At one point last week, Alex Chapman, the mercurial complainant in the case against Manitoba Associate Chief Justice Lori Douglas, abruptly announced that his interview with the Canadian Judicial Council investigator had been secretly taped by a former friend wearing "video glasses," bolted from the witness stand, retrieved said video and demanded it be immediately watched.
(Over the lunch break that day, lawyers in the case viewed the video, but no further mention was made of it, and it was never played.)
At an earlier turn last month, the CJC duly posted what's called a joint document brief on its website, only to discover a few days later — oops — that one of the documents bore Judge Douglas's personal address and phone number.
(Given that the complaint against Judge Douglas centres around her own husband's betrayal of her by posting intimate pictures of her on a porn site, it was another grating invasion of the last vestiges of the judge's privacy — not to mention the troubling fact that years ago, under another name, Chapman had been convicted of arson.)
In May, the senior independent counsel Guy Pratte was so distressed by a ruling of the CJC inquiry committee now probing Judge Douglas's conduct — a ruling that would have handcuffed him in his duty to fairly present all the evidence, both pro and con Judge Douglas — that he threatened to quit.
And throughout the two weeks the committee has been hearing evidence, the microphones in the hearing room at Winnipeg's Federal Court building have only barely worked and have switched on and off at will so often that now there are three different mikes facing anyone who takes the witness stand here, because no one really has a clue which, if any, may kick in.
But if it has been a star-crossed process from the get-go, if the temptation is to assume the CJC — that august body of chief justices from across the country who receive complaints about federally appointed judges — can't pull off the proverbial one-car funeral, let alone see that one of its own gets a fair shake, things got seriously worse on Thursday.
That was when Sheila Block, Judge Douglas's lawyer, asked the five-member committee headed by Alberta Chief Justice Catherine Fraser to recuse itself — it means withdraw — on the grounds it was biased against Judge Douglas — and halt the hearing.
The heart of Block's argument is that the panel had directed its own lawyer, George Macintosh, to aggressively question two witnesses whose testimony supported Judge Douglas's position that she knew nothing of what her husband Jack King was doing nine years ago.
Both witnesses — King, whose testimony ended Wednesday, and Michael Sinclair, a former law partner of King and the judge both — were in effect cross-examined twice, once by Pratte or his associate Kirsten Crain, and once by Macintosh.
Macintosh has no client here; commission counsel's role is usually to advise the panel. As Block told the panel on Thursday, "This is not about throwing Mr. Macintosh under the bus: He is you."
And, just as a judge presiding over a trial is not to "enter the fray" or jump "into the arena" of adversarial legal jousting, but rather remain impartial and dispassionate, so is the panel in the judge's role here not supposed to get down in the muck with the lawyers.
As for Macintosh's questions, Block said, they "were improper and inappropriate," revealing what appear to be the panel's "one-sided views" and "an animus and a bias" against Judge Douglas. "It raised at least an appearance of bias," she said.
Block also told Chief Justice Fraser that when she told King that Macintosh would be asking him followup questions on behalf of the panel about a few matters that needed clarification, it was "misleading."
"These were not followup questions," she snapped.
She said the inquiry was heading "on a path that could lead to a joint address in Parliament. It has extremely serious ramifications, constitutionally, for the independence of the judiciary... this process cannot continue."
If the inquiry committee were to conclude that Judge Douglas can't continue on the bench, and were its recommendation accepted by the larger CJC, the matter would then be sent to the federal justice minister.
Then the recommendation to remove would have to be approved by a majority vote of a joint session of the House of Commons and Senate.
Removing a judge from the bench, in other words, isn't easy, nor is it meant to be: Judges have what's called security of tenure precisely to preserve their independence from the political winds of change and the governments which may yield to them.
Interestingly, the panel appeared to get wind of Block's motion early Thursday.
Instead of starting as planned, the three judges and two lawyers were two hours late arriving in the hearing room, at which point Chief Justice Fraser read aloud a curious statement which appeared to be part apologia for the events of the day before and part pre-emptive action for what was to come.
The panel, she said, was "engaged in a search for the truth" and recognized the process must be fair to Judge Douglas. Though she said commission counsel wasn't usually "an active participate" in questioning, the panel had asked Macintosh to do so as a matter of efficiency. And his questions, Chief Justice Fraser said, "should not be interpreted" as any reflection of the panel's thinking.
"We have not reached any conclusion," she concluded.
Block was un-mollified, and got to her feet with her request the panel withdraw. On Friday morning, the panel announced that it would continue its inquiry.
It was in 2003 that King was first accused by Chapman, a black man with a litigious past and present, of trying to get him into bed with the judge, who was then just a lawyer. Chapman soon signed a confidentiality agreement, purported to return the sex pictures King had either emailed him or directed him to find on the website, and accepted $25,000 to go away.
Though the scandal was widely known among the local bar and the judiciary, including some of those who pushed Judge Douglas to apply for the bench, it remained contained for about seven years.
King, to this day, considers it blackmail; Chapman, while agreeing he "played along" with King, says he did so out of fear that King wouldn't finalize the divorce he was handling for him.
In 2010, however, apparently convinced Judge Douglas had interfered with the settlement of one of his lawsuits against the local police, Chapman went public — complained to the CJC about Judge Douglas, to the Law Society of Manitoba about King, and to the world at large via the CBC.

* Banks may sell up to US$25bn in capital bonds
* Bank of China, ICBC lining up AT1s for September
* Flood of bonds likely to reprice high-yield sector
By Lianting Tu
SINGAPORE, Aug 29 (IFR) - An anticipated deluge of bank capital bonds from China's biggest lenders is expected to change the makeup of Asia's G3 high-yield market, as investors sell PRC property credits in exchange for similarly yielding Additional Tier 1 securities.
Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China are preparing to sell Basel III-compliant AT1 preferred shares in the offshore markets in September.
China's three other mega banks are likely to follow in the near future. Each deal is expected to be in the neighbourhood of US$5bn or more, meaning the total size of the first batch of AT1s may easily top US$20bn-$25bn. Total AT1 issuance from China's 16 leading banks should exceed US$100bn eventually based on 1% of their risk-weighted assets, Morgan Stanley said in an August 22 report.
Private-bank investors, which own much of Asia's high-yield debt, are expected to reposition their portfolios to make room for the flood of new securities, market participants said.
That means money managers may begin to trade out of Chinese property credits, the largest component of the PRC high-yield market, to buy the new bank capital bonds, sources said.
"Some people view Chinese AT1 paper as substitution for high-yield corporate bonds and they would prefer to hold AT1s from Chinese banks over property companies," said a senior Hong Kong-based FIG banker.
Bank of China is expected to be the first PRC lender to come to market. The bank has shortlisted eight banks, including top choice Bank of China International, for an offshore AT1 of up to $US6.5bn. ICBC, expected to be second to market, has mandated seven banks for its transaction.
Agricultural Bank of China was mandating banks for a similar deal, market sources said, but there were no details yet on offerings from either China Construction Bank or Bank of Communications.
Under Basel III rules, AT1 capital is undated and loss absorbing, and can be written down or converted to equity when a bank's common equity Tier 1 ratio drops below 5.125%. AT1 holders may also face the risk of coupon or dividend deferral.
Rating agencies consider AT1s to be high-yield securities. Moody's, for example, has rated Chinese AT1 paper three notches below banks' standalone ratings to account for the subordination and coupon or dividend-skipping risks.
As the standalone ratings for BOC and ICBC are Baa2, a three-notch cut would make them Ba2, equivalent to a Double B rating from Standard & Poor's.
The rush of AT1 instruments could also lead to a repricing in the high-yield market, depending on where the bonds price.
Double B rated bonds trading at yields of 6.5%-7.0%, and mainly PB owned, could feel the pressure, Nomura said in a research report last week. These bonds include corporate perpetuals, Chinese high-yield industrials and property bonds, according to Nomura.
If the AT1s are well received, Morgan Stanley's "bull case" is they fetch yields of 6%-7%. However, the fair value yield should be closer to 7%-8%, Morgan Stanley said. Double B property bonds currently trade at 6%-7%.
"One of the key things is the pricing level for the AT1s," the FIG banker said. "If they came in tight, then they wouldn't be attractive, compared with yields on other high-yield paper."
At least one Singapore-based high-yield trader expects the AT1 supply to widen spreads on outstanding high-yield bonds.
"It's hard to quantify the effect, but 1% [widening on Asian high-yield bonds] sounds like a good number."
One comparable for the forthcoming AT1s is China Citic Bank International's US$300m perpetual non-call five AT1 sold last March, the first and only US dollar AT1 from an Asian bank. Moody's sees China Citic's bonds as Ba3, three notches below its standalone rating.
China Citic's AT1s priced to yield 562.7bp over US Treasuries, an all-in yield of 7.25%. The securities recently were quoted to yield only 6.2% in the secondary market.
Private banks are expected to be the main group of investors rotating out of existing holdings to buy the new bank capital. Market participants said the banks, which represent Asia's high-net-worth individuals, are likely to be attracted to high-yielding securities from big state-owned Chinese banks, which many clients do not expect to fail.
About 40% of Asian private bank investments are in bank paper, a Singapore-based DCM banker said. Private banks are also expected to sell senior bank bonds to buy the higher-yielding sub paper.
Still, institutional investors, including mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds, are likely to be keen AT1 buyers as well.
"Things have changed much in the last two years," the FIG banker said. "PBs will be involved, but it will be mainly institution-driven."
Indeed, institutional investors, with mandates including preferred shares, are likely to buy heavily, according to a Singapore-based fixed-income portfolio manager.
"The market will be liquid enough to absorb the AT1 paper. There is a lot of cash around. The bonds could be well supported," the portfolio manager said.
Nonetheless, Chinese banks, which easily have enough capital to meet the PRC's current bank capital requirements, are under pressure to raise capital to support their asset growth.
"All Chinese banks have significant ongoing capital needs as they grow their balance sheet at annual rates of mid-double digits," said Stephen Long, managing director, financial institutions group at Moody's.
BOC's T1 capital adequacy ratio at the end of the first half was at 9.37%, but lower than the 9.5% target systemically important banks in China are required to meet before the end of 2018. The T1 CAR for Agricultural Bank of China is even lower at 8.65%. (Reporting by Lianting Tu, editing by Abby Schultz, Timothy Sifert, Julian Baker)

If you feel uncomfortable reading his e-mails - then don't! And if this is the only kind of material he sends you, just delete his e-mails before you even open them. The Bible is blunt: "Avoid every kind of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22).
Much good has come from the Internet - but unfortunately, so has much that isn't good. I am staggered by the stories I read about the amount of pornography that is available on the Internet, as well as other things that appeal to the darker side of human nature (such as gambling or occult practices). Not only should we avoid these, but we should take steps to be sure our children don't have access to them as well. Be a good example to your children in these matters, and let them know why you're concerned about them.
You may be right; your uncle may simply enjoy embarrassing you. (You can check to see if he forwards these jokes and stories to others also.) He may even hope to get you to compromise your convictions by getting you hooked on them. In any case, you should let him know your feelings, and take steps to block them if he persists.
The deeper issue, however, is your uncle's attitude - not just toward you, but toward Christ. Pray for him, and ask God to give you an opportunity to talk with him about his need of Christ - not out of pride on your part, but out of love.

My best friend is going out with my sister and sometimes I can't cope with the triangle that exists between us. My girlfriend and I feel we have to always justify our actions and decisions to them; my friend wants things to carry on the way they were before he took up with my sister. There are frequent misunderstandings over what we say or don't say to one another and I feel helpless - it seems to me that my friend is going out with my sister to get at me and to be above criticism. What can I do to live my own life without hurting my sister?
Be open and honest
My best friend married my brother and they now have two kids. It is an unbelievably difficult triangle, but it does have enormous upsides. I decided to remain a loyal confidante to just one of them - my friend. It has been hard to endure all their relationship problems and hear her relentless criticisms of my brother, but he finds his support elsewhere. He will always be my brother and we remain close without really working at it. I also have no illusions about his character quirks and yet I love him unconditionally, so my friend and I have that in common. We are all close now and enjoy family holidays together. It sounds as if you think your best friend is up to something manipulative - doing it to "get at" you - in which case you must step away from the situation and let your sister find her own way with him.
You may feel that you are trapped in the middle but don't flatter yourself, it's actually just a relationship between two people, which doesn't involve you. Just be open and honest with him about your friendship, and about the things you find hard to deal with.
LD, Stratford-upon-Avon
Try talking it out
Try to see things from their point of view - remember that your friend isn't dating her because she is your sister but because he likes her. Your problems seem to stem from a lack of communication - talk more.
AJ, Oxford
Lay ground rules
My two best friends at university started going out with each other and I also found it very difficult. I thought they had not been honest about their feelings for each other and felt hurt and confused. They both saw me as a shoulder to cry on, and would try to get me to reveal each other's secrets, which I refused to do.
I also swallowed my pride and told them that I was scared of losing their friendship and that it was important for me to still see them separately. We ironed out our problems in the end - by being open about our concerns.
Tell your friend how you believe that his relationship with your sister has altered his friendship with you. Have a friendly chat over a drink, but lay down some ground rules - explain that you won't accept certain behaviour from him and that you and your girlfriend don't have to justify your actions to him.
A, London
Next week
I am a 34-year-old woman and I met a man at work a year ago - we have similar hobbies and viewpoints and seemed to click instantly. He is married and I had a long-term partner, so neither of us was looking for romance but we have become very close and I really like having him in my life. My partner became very jealous of him, though I was completely open about our friendship, and he gave me an ultimatum. I decided to finish with my boyfriend rather than be emotionally bullied by him, but I didn't tell my friend that this was why we broke up.
Now it seems that his wife is going down a similar route - she has stopped short of giving him an ultimatum but they argue about me constantly. He says he will not be told who he can choose as a friend - his best mate is a woman and she needs to deal with that. I offered to back off but he got upset and asked me to stick with him, saying he needs me around more than ever. Now I wonder if I should end the friendship for the sake of his marriage as he has resorted to sneaking around to see me and I worry he will get "caught" and accused of having an affair. What should I do?

Honors Majors & Minors
Admission to the Honors Program in Biology as either a major or a minor is based on academic record. Applicants to the Honors Program in Biology must have a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 in all courses taken in the Natural Sciences and Engineering Division at Swarthmore College and must obtain a grade of B or better in all lecture courses and seminars used for the Honors Program. Unpublished grades in biology for the first semester of the freshman year will be considered in the B average requirement; passing grades of CR in other courses in the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering are acceptable.
The course requirements for admission to the Honors Program in biology are the same as those required for a course major in biology.
Application - the Sophomore Plan of Study
During the second semester of their sophomore year, students must submit a Sophomore Plan of Study to the Registrar and indicate their desire to enter the Honors Program. The application should list the anticipated fields of study (see below) for Honors. Students who are accepted into the program must select a research project by the middle of the junior year. Final approval of the student's Honors program will occur during the fall semester of the senior year when a three-part Final Honors Program Form is signed by the Chairs of the participating departments. Part I of the form goes to the major department, part II to the minor department and part III to the student. The signed forms from the major and minor departments are due to the Registrar by October 1st of that semester.
The distribution requirement
Students in the Honors Major Program in Biology must take at least one course in each of the following three groups:
I. Cellular and Molecular Biology
II. Organismal Biology
III. Population Biology
Biology 001 may be counted as a Group 1 course, or Biology 002 may be counted as a Group 3 course for purposes of the distribution requirement for Honors Majors. In addition, an Honors Major who has taken both Bio 001 and Bio 002 can use them to satisfy any one of the group requirements. AP credit may not be used to satisfy the distribution requirement. Honors students do not participate in the senior comprehensive, Themes in Biology (Bio 097), for credit but they are invited to attend as these public lectures are open to all members of the campus community.
Honors Preparations for Majors
A total of three preparations is required for an Honors major in Biology:
Seminar preparations (4-6 credits total)
Two preparations are advanced seminar preparations, each consisting of a lecture course and an associated advanced seminar course graded by faculty members who teach the courses and seminars. The seminars must be taken from different faculty members and all seminars used as Honors preparations must be taken at Swarthmore College. Seminars with optional laboratories may be taken with or without the laboratory and be counted as an honors preparation. Each seminar preparation will be graded by both a written and an oral examination, both of which are set and evaluated by an External Examiner.
A fourth preparation is taken in another department (other than Biology) chosen by the student; it is considered the Honors minor preparation. This preparation is evaluated by an External Examiner in accordance with the rules of that department.
Research (thesis) preparation (1-2 credits)
One preparation of research (thesis) will consist of a substantial research project that may be completed in 2 semesters of research OR in 1 summer + 1 semester of research. The project will be taken for one or two credits and will be graded by an External Examiner. The primary mentor for the thesis need not be a Swarthmore faculty member, but each honors student is required to have a faculty mentor from the Biology Department at the College to oversee the project and assist in final preparation of the thesis. The Honors thesis has a page limit of 20 pages, not counting references, figures, figure legends or tables.
Senior Honors Study (1 credit)
This integrative/interactive program is taken in the spring semester of the Honors major's senior year. It provides a forum in which each student can finalize and present his or her thesis work in oral and written forms. Students should begin their final semester with completed research. During the first few meetings of the semester, faculty members are available for consultation regarding data analysis and presentation. At mid-semester, students present posters of their projects to the faculty and other honors students. Comments on these posters by faculty and peers enable students to revise and polish their written theses. The Senior Honors Study grade (Credit/No Credit) are assigned by the Biology faculty.
Honors Preparations for Biology Minors
The program in Biology for an Honors Minor consists of one preparation in biology of not less than 4 credits (e.g., Bio 001 or Bio 002, a lecture course, and an associated two-credit seminar).
Biology minors in the Honors Program do not need to satisfy the distribution requirements of the major; they are also not required to take chemistry or mathematics courses unless these courses are prerequisites for a specific Honors preparation. Biology Honors minors do not participate in the Senior Honors Study. As described above. of this handbook, all applicants to the Honors Program in Biology must maintain a GPA of 3.00 in all courses taken in the Divisions of Natural Sciences and Engineering at Swarthmore College and must obtain a grade of B or better in all lecture courses and seminars used for the Honors Program.
Honors Examinations
Examiners will be given a spectrum of models of written exams or written assignments that they may choose to use. The biology written exam will be closed-book, last 3 hours, and be proctored. Computers may be used to write the answers to the questions. The written exams are given during exam week early in May. Hard copies of completed written exams are mailed to the External Examiners the day after the exams are taken.
The oral exams will normally take place during one weekend in May using a one-on-one-format, although there may be special circumstances in which the use of a panel exam is desirable and will be used. Oral examinations for seminar preparations are normally 45 minutes in length. The oral exams for thesis (research) work are 60 minutes in length. Examiners for the four preparations (3 in the major and 1 in the minor) will be expected to confer after all of the exams are given and agree on a grade for each candidate's performance.
Grading of Honors Materials
The academic work of Honors students enrolled in lecture courses and seminars is graded by Swarthmore faculty. Laboratory notebooks and final laboratory reports of Honors students may be submitted ungraded to the external examiners in order that they may evaluate the candidates' laboratory work.
The Department of Biology will review the academic work of all candidates for the external examination at the end of the junior year and in November of their senior year. Progress on their thesis research is assessed at the beginning of the fall semester of the senior year. At these times, the Department may ask a candidate not to continue in the Honors Program. Withdrawal from the Honors program must occur by December 1st of the student's senior year. At that time, the student is responsible for consulting with the department about satisfying the comprehensive requirement for the major.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2014 (1283 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Talk about puppy love.
With Valentine's Day nipping at our heels, local experts say pet ownership is often the key to getting a new leash on love -- or just being dumped in the doghouse.
Winnipeg matchmaker Lianne Tregobov, owner of Camelot Introductions, said pets "absolutely, positively" can make or break a budding relationship.
"Pets are like your children; they just don't last as long," says Tregobov, who has been helping Winnipeggers find true love for the last 19 years. "The love you have for them is very deep and very intense.
"If someone wants to join your life, they have to accept the whole package. If you have pets, they are not disposable. If you don't like pets, it's not the right relationship for you.
"If you don't like someone's children, you won't carry on a relationship with them. It's the same with pets."
The matchmaker, who gushes over her beloved Yorkie named Harley, says one of the first things she does with potential clients is ask about their views on pet ownership.
Do they have pets of their own? What kind of pets? What are their names? Their ages? And is the person looking for love willing to accept a new partner with pets?
"As a matchmaker, you're not just matchmaking the heart; you have to matchmake everything around them, including their pets," says Tregobov, who also works with Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert, a volunteer group that reunites lost pooches with their people.
The dating guru confirms a large number of her clients are pet owners seeking human companionship.
"I'd say a large percentage, because people who are alone often have pets for company," she said. "For some folks, if you don't like the pet, it's not going to work. They feel, 'If you want to love me, you've got to love my pet. Plain and simple.'"
So are pets the ticket to a love connection or a speed bump on the road to romance? It depends on the would-be lovers' views on owning animals.
Tregobov points to a recent case when she matched a dog lover with a man who didn't exactly share her passion for pups.
"She knew he wasn't thrilled with her dog, but she saw him kick it when he thought she wasn't looking, so she kicked him to the curb," she says.
"He justified it by saying, 'I don't like dogs.'
"I said to him: 'Well, I don't like you now, so is it OK to kick you?'"
Sometimes it's simple biology: If you have an allergy to cats, you shouldn't hook up with someone who owns cats.
"People who have shedding pets need to pay special attention," Tregobov points out. "No one wants to meet people who are furry if they're not an animal lover... I can't stress it enough: If your pet sheds, get a lint roller!"
It's also possible to have too much of a good thing, especially when it comes to animals.
"If you have an abundance of pets, there will be a smaller number of people interested. I had a woman not wanting me to tell people she has six cats. I'm like, 'Yeah, we have to tell people you have six cats.'"
The truth is, the way people act around pets reveals a lot about their potential for a love match.
"It allows you to show your true colours," she says. "You're dealing with something that's innocent and vulnerable. Stand back and watch somebody interact with a pet and it'll tell you a whole lot about them."
The matchmaker's advice was echoed by Val Poulton, manager of intake and behaviour with the Winnipeg Humane Society. "It (owning a pet) tells you they can commit to a relationship," Poulton, the owner of two dogs, says. "Seeing how somebody treats a pet is a clue to how they would treat their partner."
Poulton, who came to Winnipeg in August after eight years with the Nebraska Humane Society, said furry friends can be the beating heart of a fiery fling.
"I have several friends who are married who met through dog sports -- agility and obedience competitions," she says, laughing. "Some dumped their old spouse to hook up with new love interests they met through their pets. I'm glad this (story) won't make it to Nebraska, because I'm telling on all my friends."
In matters of the heart, it's not enough for people to get along; their pets need to be compatible as well.
"I have encountered some situations where people have had pets, but the dogs weren't happy about living with each other, so we had to do some proper introductions and counter-conditioning to help them feel better about living together," the longtime dog trainer says.
Aileen White, the society's director of communications, says with a chuckle: "It sounds like some marriages."
Poulton also stresses that a desire to hook up is not a good reason to get a pet. "If that's your motivation, you might want to just borrow a friend's pet," she says..
Which is when White suddenly recalls that her husband, during the courting phase of their relationship, borrowed a chocolate Labrador pup in a bold bid to win her love.
Says Poulton: "That's really romantic! He's a keeper."
White agrees. "How do you not just gush with affection?"
And that's precisely the point, because on the road to romance, you have to put your best paw forward.

…brush your teeth, grab a cup of coffee, email a friend, or hack a MacBook Air. Just like last year the CanSecWest conference is currently going on, and tons of hackers cram in to see who can be the first to hack one of the laptops that are provided. The first
nerd person to forcefully gain control of one out of the three laptops not only takes home that laptop, but also receives a worthwhile $10,000 cash prize.
The three laptops that were being attacked were a VAIO VGN-TZ37CN running Ubuntu 7.10, Fujitsu U810 running Vista Ultimate SP1, and a MacBook Air running OSX 10.5.2. On the first day of the contest the rules were kind of strict, and the hackers could only go after the computers over the network. There was a strong stench of failure in the air that day.
Then yesterday they decided to let go a bit and let the hackers direct the contest organizers to a website that they created to run malicious code. Charlie Miller, the first one to hack the iPhone last year, was all over it and almost immediately gained access to the MacBook Air. It took him a whopping 2 minutes to get into the system, but no one knows exactly how he did it because he was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Many expect that the vulnerability lies in Apple's Safari browser.
In case you're wondering, contestants like Charlie had to follow these guidelines for their attack:
- You can't use the same vulnerability to claim more than one box, if it is a cross-platform issue.
- Thirty minute attack slots given to contestants at each box.
- Attacks are done via crossover cable. (attacker controls default route)
- No physical access to the machines.
- Major web browsers (IE, Safari, Konqueror, Firefox), widely used and deployed plugin frameworks (AIR, Silverlight), IM clients (MSN, Adium, Skype, Pigdin, AOL, Yahoo), Mail readers (Outlook, Mail.app, Thunderbird, kmail) are all in scope.
So congrats to Charlie. Apple… get to work! ;)

I got these as I fancied something which would give much better sound quality on a small budget, and from reading up on various internet reviews, got myself a pair of these. I must stress that sound quality is the most important aspect for me, I don't buy headphones because they look good (a reason why there are no Beats products in my collection these days).
However, these do look pretty good. The "chrome" effect is simply aluminium and in my experience did go a bit dull after a few days of use, but that's not really important. Build quality however, is important, and with a sort of clear plastic coating around the cable, these did at least feel well made. Sadly however, that was not the case. Just after the 30 day refund limit expired, the right 'bud began cutting out intermittently. Then a few days later, it stopped working altogether. I have identified the cause of this to be a loose connection at the earbud end, which could be repairable. However, the cost of equipment needed to repair it probably outweighs the cost of a replacement. Furthermore, the remote button stopped working pretty quickly, not something I expect at this price point.
Now, the sound quality. I was expecting it to be pretty decent. Again, sadly not the case. I can't remember the technical specifications from the top of my head, but it doesn't feel as though the frequency response is wide enough. It does one thing brilliantly though, and that's bass. There is so much of it, that it drowns out pretty much everything else. To try and combat this, I turned the EQ on my iPhone to Bass Reduction. It did reduce the bass a little, so the mids and treble were more audible, but then things got worse. The trebles were way too harsh, and developed what I call hissing. Not the kind where there is a background hissing, as you get with low quality headphones, but whenever an S syllable is made on the vocals, it sounds extremely harsh, almost to the point where I want to claw out my eardrums. So I tried Treble Reduction, and that brought me back to the start; too much bass. There was not a single EQ setting on my iPhone which made these headphones sound right. I appreciate that an iPhone isn't going to give true audiophile quality, but on a set of headphones with a mic, they should sound reasonable with it. And these were no poor quality, 128kbps YouTube rips, these were Lossless format songs.
Final thought is, all things considered these are fairly poor given the price point. If you can do without the mic/remote function, then a set of Bose IE2 earphones will give you much better quality sound for the same money. However, for the more budget conscious, I would recommend Sennheiser CX300, which can be had for less than half the amazon advertised price. If a mic/remote function is required, then the MM30i is essentially a CX300 with that function.
When these headphones are brand new they are simply fantastic.
The quality is untouchable in this price bracket they are well made and fell like a premium product should. The earphones also come with a nice soft case for storage although I don't think it will do much to protect them from damage.
They come with different size rubber plugs so they fit different ear sizes and I have found them to fit very snug when used with the right plug for your ear.
I have tested these on a aeroplane and then block out 90-95% of the noise which is great.
The sound quality is better than any headphone I have tested but they have a high base which some people like some don't I personally think it adds to the experience.
The problems started to arise about 4 months after purchase, one of the earphones have started to crackle and distort , it also doesn't have the same level of volume as the one that works.
This is obliviously a disapointment as I loved the sound that came from these headphones when fully working.
I would not recommend these headphones due to quality issues that arise through usage.
It is simply an amazing product nothing less than amazing. The V Moda Vibe Flashback Chrome is a revolution in itself. First and foremost it looks really cool and attractive.
But sometimes there are many attractive things but they are not always good to be used. In fact, they are really not much user friendly. However, this is not the case with V Moda Vibe Flashblack Chrome earphones. The ear buds are soft and comforting to ears. You can enjoy music while working or jogging. One of the main reasons why the ear buds are highly comforting as they have three sizes of ultra - soft silicon fittings. So, the usual problem of the earphones popping out of the ears is not a problem with V Moda Vibe Flashblack Chrome earphones.
You get the smaller fits by default in the ordered package but it is recommended to choose either the medium or large size for proper sound and comfort.
Overall it can be said that it is great for music lovers and for those who love to work while listening to music. I found it perfect for my needs. Although, the cost issue was a bit bothersome.
But I think sometimes it is good to pamper yourself by spending on something trendy, comforting and of course, "musical".

Wolcott annoints blogs
Wolcott annoints blogs
: The April Vanity Fair has a great column from the great columnist James Wolcott coming to praise blogs.
Says the head: "Don't dismiss blogs as the online rantings of B-list writers. Interlinked and meritocratic, seething with fierce debate and rivalries, they're the best thing to hit journalism since the rise of the political pamphlet." All kinds of people at the keyboards are blushing now.
The column isn't online and because I will accept some second-hand blame for that, I'll do penance by typing in just a few highlights and links to give Wolcott a little link love. As he moves along, Wolcott uses all this as a means of arguing that the left is hot and the right is not; that's the raison de column.
He begins by talking about the state of the online art only a few years ago…
…bloggers tended to be lumped in the amateur division and relegated to the draft basement. Most were considered harmless hobbyists, like ham-radio operators and model-train enthusiasts, or personal diarists doodling on the laptop, hoping someday to get laid…
Far from being a refuge for nose-picking narcissists, blogs have speedily matured into the most vivifying, talent-swapping, socializing breakthrough in popular journalism since the burst of coffeehouse periodicals and political pamphleteering in the 18th century, when The Spectator, The Tatler, and sundry other sheets liberated writing from literary patronage. If Adison and Steele, the editors of The Spectator and The Tatler, were alive and holding court at Starbucks, they'd be WiFi-ing into a joint blog….
Internet space may appear to be an expanding universe of uncharted dimensions with no fixed center or hitching post, but a brain scan of the blogosphere would reveal the same hemispheric divide between left and right that prevails in the flesh realm. Not that there isn't some friendly fraternization… But mostly liberals and conservatives congregate at their own tables in the cafeteria and shoot straw wrappers at each other, dirty looks….
