Subregional Trading Arrangements among APEC Economies: Managing Diversity in the Asia Pacific
Since 1999, there has been a sharp rise of interest in new subregional trading arrangements (SRTAs) involving APEC economies. Many, if not most, of the emerging new economic partnerships are expected to be based on a preferential free trade area (FTA). These arrangements are likely to divert attention from the wider objectives of the APEC process and its commitment to open regionalism, and strain its cohesion. It cannot be taken for granted that the liberalisation agreed within subregional FTAs will be smoothly extended to others. As well as liberalising border barriers to trade and investment, new SRTAs are expected to deal with the many other significant impediments to international commerce. Even with the best of intentions, it will not be easy to address these relatively new issues without creating new discrimination and diversion of economic activity. If these relatively new issues are addressed in association with a preferential FTA, these arrangements could be discriminatory by default. The practical challenge is to avoid preferential treatment from becoming either entrenched or permanent. This paper sets out a range of policy issues that will be created by any proliferation of SRTAs, especially if they are constructed around FTAs. To manage these issues, it is essential that future SRTAs meet standards that are substantially higher, and less ambiguous, than minimum WTO requirements. A set of guiding principles, which build on already-agreed APEC principles, are presented for consideration, with emphasis on transparency, avoiding new obstacles to trade or investment and creating objective, nondiscriminatory opportunities for accession.

Unavailability of domestic gas and high import gas prices have adversely impacted gas distribution and transmission companies. Volumes at Gujarat Gas Co. Ltd, which supplies gas to industrial and domestic consumers, contracted 8.5% on a sequential basis to 270 million metric standard cubic metre (mmscm) in the December quarter.
Sugata Sircar, managing director of Gujarat Gas, said in a statement: "Volumes in certain industrial segments have been impacted by rising cost of gas and resultant increase in gas prices." With the company not able to fully pass on the rise in costs, realizations per standard cubic metre (SCM) of gas stagnated Rs.28.
Raw material costs as a percentage of sales inched up from 78.4% in July-September to 79.8% in December quarter. As weak demand forced the company to absorb some rise in input costs, operating profits on a sequential scale fell 20% to Rs.108 crore. While profits fell by almost 30%, the stock has been under-performing the broader market for some time now.
Compared with a flat mid-cap index on BSE, Gujarat Gas stock lost more than a quarter of its value in the past one year. Apart from regulatory issues, investors are concerned about stagnant volumes and the potential impact of the ownership change. Volumes may remain subdued till softening international prices translate into cheaper gas prices for domestic consumers.
Another issue weighing on investor sentiment is the change in ownership. Last year, Gujarat State Petroleum Corp. (GSPC) agreed to acquire BG Group Plc's 65% stake in Gujarat Gas for Rs.2,464 crore. With GSPC being a state-owned company, analysts fear the company may have limited freedom in regularly passing on the rise in input costs to the consumers.
Chirag Dhaifule, research analyst at LKP Securities Ltd, says, "Now that the government company is acquiring majority stake, Gujarat Gas may find it difficult in future to pass on higher gas costs, thus affecting its margins." Meanwhile, Business Standard newspaper on 17 February reported that GSPC is looking to merge its city gas distribution firm with Gujarat Gas.
With both the firms in the city gas distribution business, the merged entity can derive synergies in the gas procurement and distribution network. While benefits would trickle down in the long-run, GSPC is reportedly looking to transfer the loans it took to acquire Gujarat Gas to the listed entity. That would sharply increase debts on the Gujarat Gas books. Till now Gujarat Gas has been spending negligible amounts on interest costs. A spike in interest costs could weigh on the company's profits.

SmartCloud Notes Hybrid environment - Cannot see on-premises servers in name pickers
Technote (troubleshooting)
Users who administer their environment (both on-premises and in SmartCloud Notes) find that they cannot see their on-premises servers in the Select Name dialog boxes, and all that they see are users' mail databases and mail-in databases listed. This can be an issue if the administrators, for example, need to move on-premises users from one server to another.
This issue has been documented in SPR RJAS93RMZR, and it has been determined that this is working as designed. On-premises servers are not served up by the SmartCloud Notes Directory.
Resolving the problem
Workaround: The Administrator can add the name of an on-premises server to their "Domino Directory Server" field in their Location Document, and they should be able to see the on-premises names.nsf entries (NOT the SmartCloud Notes names.nsf).

I completely relate to her desire to do this because I too have noticed as I age that I seem to need much less food. Not a happy place for a foodie like me, but still it's reality. I commented on the blog that I, too, should try an experiment like that because I know for a fact that when I'm counting calories, if I have calories "left" there are times when I would eat something more, even though I am not hungry. That is just dumb and also goes to show how much more is involved in eating than just plain old stomach growling hunger. At least for me.
I went back to the foot doctor on Tuesday and his decision is to send me for an MRI. I will be going next Tuesday and then we'll go from there. His reasoning is that if the issue with my foot was simple, the shot I had on the 13th would have taken care of it. At this point, these are all the things that could be possibly wrong with my foot:
- The worst ever case of Plantar Fasciitis. If this turns out to be so, he will set me up for a series of injections.
- Calcaneal Fat Pad Injury. It's very important not to have steroid shots if this is the injury as they thin the fat pad. This would be treated by heel taping, icing, rest, and probably professional custom orthotics.
- Plantar Fasciitis Rupture. This would be treated by putting me in a boot cast for 4-6 weeks.
- Nerve entrapment. There are a couple of nerves in the heel that can become entrapped. The treatment for this is surgery.
- Cancaneal stress fracture. This would probably treated by a boot cast and crutches to start. It would also mean a complete halt to all weight bearing activity for 8-17 weeks.
As you can see, it's pretty important at this point for him to figure out exactly what is going on vs. just going by symptoms so the proper treatment can (finally) be applied. He said any or all of these issues would definitely show up in the MRI.
You know I immediately went home and spent the evening Googling all of these things. Probably shouldn't have as Dr. Google tends to present the worst case scenarios. Worst case scenarios make me fearful. Fear and pain are not a good combination. At least for me.
"I'm not a skinny girl. I push it. I'm at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I'm happy at all times."
"Everybody has a weakness (and) mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in
France, you're in a good place and you're in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse."
~ Actress Salma Hayek talking about her weight ~
I want happiness and wouldn't mind being on the edge of chubby, especially if my curves were in the same place as Salma's. Only two things I disagree with here: I don't think you have to be living exclusively in
to have this issue and I
don't think you have to weigh yourself every day. Maybe you don't even
need a scale, but you do need some sort of measure that is an alarm: be it
clothing, the scale, or even health issues. France
Putting it in reverse is easier to say than to actually do. At least for me.

"leftovers" Spaghetti Sauce
Recipe by blancpage
I love eating ground beef in my spaghetti sauce. Here's another recipe I made up, this time with leftovers I had in the fridge and also what I had on hand in the pantry. We were on a tight budget at the time, so I just threw a bunch of stuff together and it came out quite good and my husband enjoyed it too Again, my measurements are all estimated, I apologize.
Top Review by 2Bleu
Don't we all love dressing up plain old jar sauce? Sommer, you've got a great knack for doing so and this one is no exception. Made as directed using half the amount of stewed tomatoes (that's all we had), 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp sugar, and draining the ground beef through a mesh strainer. We also added about a Tbsp of Italian seasoning and a splash of olive oil. Delicious!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (24 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (26 ounce) jar Prego spaghetti sauce, your choice of flavor (tomato, green pepper and onion flavor is the kind i had on hand. Also try tomato, onion, and garlic)
- 1 -3 clove garlic, chopped fine
- 1 lb browned ground beef
- 1⁄2 small white onion, chopped
- 1 -3 teaspoon granulated sugar
Directions See How It's Made
- I had previously browned and drained the ground beef and had it in the fridge, If you don't have this leftover, brown ground beef first in a nonstick skillet, drain off fat really well.
- I use a pile of paper towels to soak up the fat.
- Place ground beef in a large pot.
- Stir in all other ingredients except the sugar.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Turn heat down to low and simmer uncovered or covered for about 30 minutes or so to let the flavors mix, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the sauce now and then and add more onions or garlic to taste.
- Add a little sugar to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes during the simmering.
- Serve over hot spaghetti noodles.
- The sauce should be fairly thick, not runny, so as you add in the ingredients, use more or less of the Prego as needed.
- If too thick, add a little water, more Prego, or more stewed tomatoes with juice.
- When I made mine, it was the consistency of chili.
- This makes a pretty decent batch, can feed 2-4 depending on how much everyone eats in a serving.

This year i have started the technique called SOLARIZATION for my Container Garden, it is simple technique and it works well to kill fungi, bacteria, nematodes, insect , pests along with weed seed and seedlings :
1. Cover the soil or containers with plastic sheet.
2. No gap or breach is allowed. No air should eneter so as to maintain temperature inside.
3. Should be done in hot summers. i monitored the temperture it crossed 60 Celsius in few minutes under hot sun.
4. Effective upto 6 inch deep soil.
5. i used to keep max. 6 inch soil in the containers while using this technique.
6. This technique is good for "re-using" the old soil in containers.
7. Can be equally effective on Gaden soil as well.
8. There is info availabe on youtube and internet regarding "SOLARIZATION".
I will share the results as things proceed.

Durban - A former police officer who shot dead a man in a drunken brawl 11 years ago has had his conviction for murder converted to one of culpable homicide and a 12-year-prison sentence reduced to a suspended sentence, which has already expired.
"He is very relieved," attorney Zoliso Mbele said of his client, Sixtus Mkhize, who was effectively let off the hook by the Supreme Court of Appeal yesterday.
"When he was convicted of murder and sentenced to jail (in 2009) he was automatically dismissed from the police force even though an internal disciplinary hearing had found that he should not be dismissed. He has been unemployed since then and we now want to go back to the police to see if he can be reinstated."
The appeal touched on similar issues to those in the Oscar Pistorius trial, dealing with private defence, where a person acts lawfully in defending himself in proportion to the threat faced, and putative private defence where culpability becomes the issue when the accused unlawfully kills because of an erroneous belief that his life or property is in danger.
Mkhize, who was a warrant officer stationed at Donnybrook at the time of the incident in May 2003, had been drinking at the Off Saddle Action Bar in Ixopo when a group, consisting of Denzil Tatchell, Dennis Peter and their wives, came in at about 1am.
They had been at a wedding in Ixopo and were on their way home to Durban and stopped for a drink.
According to evidence before the trial court in Ixopo, Tatchell and his party refused to leave when the barman wanted to lock up, and they started a fight with the security guard.
When the policeman intervened, Tatchell and Peter turned on him, punching and kicking him until he fell to the floor.
He retreated to the pool table area but was pursued by the two men, one of whom said: "Let us kill this bastard." It was then that he shot at them, killing Tatchell.
The trial court found that Mkhize had shot Tatchell out of revenge, taking into account that there was a gunshot wound in his back, inferring that Tatchell was fleeing.
On first appeal, two judges in Pietermaritzburg found no fault with this and rejected argument that, at worst, he could be found guilt of culpable homicide.
But on Tuesday Supreme Court of Appeal Acting Judge Constance Mocumie, with four judges concurring, said Mkhize was confronted with aggressors who had already assaulted a security guard and he believed he was in danger.
She said the trial court had committed several misdirections, including the evidence of the barman and an expert defence witness which pointed to the fact that Tatchell had been shot at close range as he had turned his back to flee.
The judge found, however, that Mkhize had used excessive force, beyond the legitimate bounds of private defence, by shooting three times when one shot would have had the desired effect to ward off the attack.
Regarding sentence, the judge said 11 years on, there was no point in a sentence of correctional supervision because the "rehabilitative element of punishment is no longer relevant".
Instead, she imposed a five-year suspended sentence, backdating it to January 2009.

Apple stores have a distinct design and layout that most people can recognize on sight. When the company leaves one location for another one, the abandoned store is devoid of Apple products and Apple signage, but it still has the same Apple look and feel. So what happens to these retail locations in their post-Apple era?
ifoAppleStore takes a look at the now empty Palo Alto and Third Street Promenade stores, which Apple left behind in late 2012. The Palo Alto store is still vacant with only an Apple banner on the window directing customers to the new store down the street. The retail location is owned by an investment group that is trying to rent the space at a rate of US$489,000 per year. For that price, new tenants will get 6,800 square feet of retail space and potential access to the 18,859 vehicles that pass in front of the store.
Investors that own the Third Street Promenade store have been a bit more successful at transferring the site to a new renter. The location sits behind a barricade that serves to partially hide a Champs Sports logo. Details on the incoming tenant are not known, but a rental brochure says the investors were asking for $1.13 million a year for the walkway-lined location.
You can read more about these locations, their rentals and floor plans at ifoAppleStore.

Panasonic Corporation re-iterated its focus on India as a driver for global growth by announcing two strategic management promotions. Daizo Ito, previously President of Panasonic India, has been elevated to the role of Managing Executive Officer, Panasonic Corporation and Chairman of the Panasonic India and Regional Head of ISAMEA region.
Taking the charge from Ito, Manish Sharma, who has been appointed at the position of Executive Officer of Panasonic Corporation and President and CEO of Panasonic India and South Asia, from his most recent role as Managing Director, India. He is the first Indian and the youngest ever to become an executive officer of the corporation and this re-affirms the focus on India as a growth hub for the corporation. The elevations, effective immediately, are part of the company's global organizational shift in preparation for new business initiatives and future growth.
Sharma as the President and CEO of Panasonic India and South Asia, will preside over operations of Panasonic in India including group and sister companies and the group support operations. The group companies include Panasonic Appliances, Panasonic AVC India, Panasonic Energy India, Panasonic Carbon India, Anchor Electricals, Firepro Systems Pvt. Ltd. He will be responsible for driving profitable growth along with strategy planning and sustainable business development across businesses.
Ito has played a key role in establishing the Panasonic brand in the Indian market, and in elevating India as a key strategic market for Panasonic globally. As the Regional Head of ISAMEA region, Ito will work with the leaders of each of these markets and plan the strategic growth of Panasonic across the region. Sharma will continue to report to Ito.
Commenting on the new appointments, Kazuhiro Tsuga, President, Panasonic Corporation, said "India is at the heart of the Pansaonic global growth strategy and both Ito and Sharma have been pivotal in driving growth for Panasonic India. I am confident they will continue to propel our business forward. I would like to congratulate them both on their new roles and wish them continued success"
Ito joined Panasonic Corporation (then Matsushita Electric Industrial Company) in the year 1977 and has been with the company for the last four decades. Led by his philosophy to drive the company's growth by Indians and for Indians the company has achieved several milestones in its journey in India.
Sharma joined Panasonic in 2008 and has been instrumental in spearheading the growth and transformation of Panasonic India from a consumer-electronics company to a technology solutions company. In his previous roles, he led a multi-channel branding, sales and marketing strategy to create a stronger consumer connect and drive increased market share and credibility. He is also credited with transforming Panasonic's smartphone business in India. He is the first Indian and the youngest to be appointed to the post of Executive Officer in the 98 year history of Panasonic Corporation.

Even at the office, the traditional Christmas party has just about nothing to do with the holiday itself. While it's lovely if some kindhearted Fezziwigs in the upper echelons throw one, Battalia Winston notes that 42% are doing so just to boost morale. A lucky 38% are patting themselves on the back for a good year. Only 16% cited "tradition" or "celebrating the holidays" as their primary purpose.
It's tough to embrace either of those first two reasons when you're among the 6% of companies planning to consolidate next year. With half of the companies not throwing holiday parties saying it's just not in the budget this year, maintaining tradition would likely come at the cost of bonuses or, worse, someone's job. With that in mind, perhaps just keeping staffers employed is the best tradition a company can uphold.
But what about the simple pleasures of hearth and home? Sure, fewer people are buying Christmas albums, but that doesn't mean they're not paying for Christmas music. Streaming activity was up 24% in the first half of this year and services including Pandora (P), Rdio, Spotify and iTunes Radio take pride in their extensive playlist and their wide array of holiday offerings. They and Sirius XM's (SIRI) seven holiday channels reap the windfall of a holiday listener base tired of hearing Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas, Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree and Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You played 18,000 to 20,000 times on stations across the U.S. between Dec. 1-25 alone -- according to Nielsen Soundscan.
Don't shed any tears for It's A Wonderful Life or beloved stop-motion animation Christmas specials, either. Those Rankin-Bass productions and their dear friend Charlie Brown are all pushing half a century old and performing admirably next to new specials featuring computer animated DreamWorks and Disney (DIS) Pixar characters. Also, they live on quite happily in the on-demand queues of Apple, Amazon (AMZN), Wal-Mart's (WMT) Vudu and elsewhere and may see a day when they join National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Love Actually in the warm embrace of Netflix (NFLX), Hulu, Amazon and Redbox (OUTR) streaming services. Holiday tradition shouldn't require a time slot.
Speaking of which, Jimmy Stewart and company just aren't benefiting from the multiple holiday airings they got in the late '70s and early '80s when the movie's images of Bedford Falls, the run on the bank and Clarence's trip through memory lane fell briefly into the public domain. If It's A Wonderful Life wasn't held to just two airings by NBC each year, there's a chance it wouldn't have been supplanted by the nation's newest favorite on-screen holiday tradition: Time Warner (TWX) and Turner Broadcasting's 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story.

Addison disease is a disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones.
The adrenal glands are small hormone-releasing organs located on top of each kidney. They are made up of an outer portion, called the cortex, and an inner portion, called the medulla.
The cortex produces 3 hormones:
- Glucocorticoid hormones (such as cortisol) maintain sugar (glucose) control, decrease (suppress) immune response, and help the body respond to stress.
- Mineralocorticoid hormones (such as aldosterone) regulate sodium and potassium balance.
- Sex hormones, androgens (male) and estrogens (female), affect sexual development and sex drive.
Addison disease results from damage to the adrenal cortex. The damage causes the cortex to produce hormone levels that are too low.
This damage may be caused by the following:
- The immune system mistakenly attacking the adrenal glands (autoimmune disease)
- Infections such as tuberculosis, HIV, or fungal infections
- Hemorrhage into the adrenal glands
- Tumors
Risk factors for the autoimmune type of Addison disease include other autoimmune diseases:
- Swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that often results in reduced thyroid function (chronic thyroiditis)
- Thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone (overactive thyroid)
- Itchy rash with bumps and blisters (dermatitis herpetiformis)
- Autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland (Graves disease)
- Parathyroid glands in the neck do not produce enough parathyroid hormone (hypoparathyroidism)
- Pituitary gland does not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones (hypopituitarism)
- Autoimmune disorder that affects the nerves and the muscles they control (myasthenia gravis)
- Body does not have enough healthy red blood cells (pernicious anemia)
- Testicles cannot produce sperm or male hormones (testicular failure)
- Type I diabetes
- Loss of brown color (pigment) from areas of the skin (vitiligo)
Certain rare genetic defects may also cause adrenal insufficiency.
Symptoms of Addison disease include:
- Chronic diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- Darkening of the skin in some places
- Dehydration
- Dizziness when standing up
- Paleness
- Extreme weakness, fatigue, and slow, sluggish movement
- Mouth lesions on the inside of a cheek (buccal mucosa)
- Salt craving
- Weight loss with reduced appetite
Exams and Tests
Laboratory tests may show:
- Increased potassium
- Low blood pressure, especially with a change in body position
- Low cortisol level
- Low serum sodium
- Low blood pH
- Normal sex hormone levels
- High eosinophil count in the blood
Additional laboratory tests may be ordered.
Other tests may include:
Treatment with replacement corticosteroids will control the symptoms of this disease. These medicines usually need to be taken for life.
Never skip doses of your medicine for this condition because life-threatening reactions may occur.
Your health care provider may increase your dosage for a short time because of:
- Infection
- Injury
- Stress
- Surgery
During an extreme form of adrenal insufficiency, called adrenal crisis, you must inject hydrocortisone right away. Treatment for low blood pressure is usually needed as well.
Some people with Addison disease are taught to give themselves an emergency injection of hydrocortisone during stressful situations. Always carry medical ID (card, bracelet, or necklace) that says you have adrenal insufficiency. The ID should also say the type of medicine and dosage you need in case of an emergency.
Outlook (Prognosis)
With hormone therapy, many people with Addison disease are able to lead a nearly normal life.
Possible Complications
Complications can occur if you take too little or too much adrenal hormone.
Complications also may result from the following related illnesses:
- Diabetes
- Chronic thyroiditis
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Ovarian hypofunction or testicular failure
- Pernicious anemia
- Overactive thyroid
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your provider if:
- You are unable to keep your medicine down due to vomiting.
- You have stress such as infection, injury, trauma, or dehydration. You may need to have your medicine adjusted.
- Your weight increases over time.
- Your ankles begin to swell.
- You develop new symptoms.
- On treatment, you develop signs of a disorder called Cushing syndrome
If you have symptoms of adrenal crisis, give yourself an emergency injection of your prescribed medicine. If it is not available, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Symptoms of adrenal crisis include:
- Abdominal pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Low blood pressure
- Reduced level of consciousness

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I made an Alford Plea to DV in WA State. When court was deciding on visitation it was stated I was convicted of the original charge of rape which did not occur and was dropped due to the plea agreement. It is printed in the final visitation order I will not have visitation due to this so-called "conviction". That is not accurate and I am not sure what to do to get it changed. Can you please advise how to get this changed so it properly and correctly conforms to what actually took place during my sentencing? I did NOT plead "guilty" to this and as I stated it was dropped and I made an Alford Plea to the lesser charges. I am about to be released and need to reunite with my child.
The Alford plea is still a guilty plea, it just doesn't necessarily admit any wrongdoing, but rather it's an understanding that there is enough evidence that if you went to trial, the jury would likely find you guilty, and you don't want to risk it.
If the charges were dropped from rape to some lower DV related charge in exchange for your Alford plea, then you're guilty only of whatever you actually plead to. If the court ordering visitation is misinformed, you need to contact the court and ask for another hearing to set the record straight. At the hearing, bring this misinformation to the judge's attention and bring whatever supporting documents you have.Ask a similar question
Thank you for your answer. I agree with what you have stated and will definitely begin with my attempt to have it changed by going to court and by using my original sentencing documents and whatever else my attorney has in his possession to show the courts ruling regarding sentencing and my plea. Although, once I have accomplished this I may apparently have a bigger battle on my hands after reading the RCW information stated below your comment in a comment by Thuong-Tri Nguyen. Is there a specific document I should prepare prior to the hearing as I can no longer afford an attorneys' assistance?
U.S. Supreme Court North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970) North Carolina v. Alford No. 14 Argued November 17, 1969 Reargued October 14, 1970 Decided November 23, 1970 400 U.S. 25 Syllabus Appellee was indicted for the capital crime of first-degree murder. At that time, North Carolina law provided for the penalty of life imprisonment when a plea of guilty was accepted to a first-degree murder charge; for the death penalty following a jury verdict of guilty, unless the jury recommended life imprisonment; and for a penalty of from two to 30 years' imprisonment for second-degree murder. Appellee's attorney, in the face of strong evidence of guilt, recommended a guilty plea, but left the decision to appellee. The prosecutor agreed to accept a plea of guilty to second-degree murder. The trial court heard damaging evidence from certain witnesses before accepting a plea. Appellee pleaded guilty, although disclaiming guilt, because of the threat of the death penalty, and was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment. The Court of Appeals, on an appeal from a denial of a writ of habeas corpus, found that appellee's guilty plea was involuntary because it was motivated principally by fear of the death penalty. Held: The trial judge did not commit constitutional error in accepting appellee's guilty plea. Pp. 400 U. S. 31-39. (a) A guilty plea that represents a voluntary and intelligent choice among the alternatives available to a defendant, especially one represented by competent counsel, is not compelled within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment because it was entered to avoid the possibility of the death penalty. Brady v. United States, 397 U. S. 742. P. 400 U. S. 31. (b) Hudson v. United States, 272 U. S. 451, which held that a federal court may impose a prison sentence after accepting a plea of nolo contendere, implicitly recognized that there is no constitutional bar to imposing a prison sentence upon an accused who is unwilling to admit guilt but who is willing to waive trial and accept the sentence. Pp. 400 U. S. 35-36. (c) An accused may voluntarily, knowingly, and understandingly consent to the imposition of a prison sentence even though he is unwilling to admit participation in the crime, or even if his Page 400 U. S. 26 guilty plea contains a protestation of innocence, when, as here, he intelligently conclude that his interests require a guilty plea and the record strongly evidences guilt. Pp. 400 U. S. 37-38. (d) The Fourteenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights do not prohibit the States from accepting pleas to lesser included offenses. P. 400 U. S. 39. 405 F.2d 340, vacated and remanded. WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and HARLAN, STEWART, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. BLACK, J., filed a statement concurring in the judgment, post, p. 400 U. S. 39. BRENNAN, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which DOUGLAS and MARSHALL, JJ., joined, post, p. 400 U. S. 39.
A so-called Alford Plea is a plea of guilty to the offense. The court enters a judgment of conviction "per Alford v. NC".
You were convicted of what you were convicted of. If the rape charge was dismissed or reduced you were not convicted of it. Was it "read in?"
An Alford plea means that you did not agree that you committed the crime for which you were convicted, but did agree to be convicted of that crime, usually to take advantage of a plea agreement.

I'm not sure what "read in" refers to...
If you are charged with multiple offenses and plead guilty to one, others can be "read in." That means they are counted as if you did them but the total sentence exposure is not increased. You can never be charged with those offenses again.
The charge was dismissed and was not "read in", thank goodness. Also, the attorney stated the original charge would never come of issue with the court in the future, with no chance of their recharging me with the original offense I mean, due to the plea provisions. You have all been very helpful on this website and it is a great service to those in need of it. Thank you again.
Last but not least, I certainly hope I received good information and they CANNOT come back on me later with the original charge which was dropped. That would be awful. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
A person does not have to be convicted of any crime in order for the court to restrict that person's time with a child. RCW 26.09.191 (Restrictions in temporary or permanent parenting plans) provides most of the basis a court can find to restrict a person's parenting time.
The statutes are at http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=26.09 .
Apparently, you are in jail/prison for a charge involving DV. The original charge involved allegations of sex crimes.
The facts likely are sufficient under "(3) A parent's involvement or conduct may have an adverse effect on the child's best interests, and the court may preclude or limit any provisions of the parenting plan, if any of the following factors exist: ... (g) Such other factors or conduct as the court expressly finds adverse to the best interests of the child."
You should review the specific facts with your attorney to find out your legal options.Ask a similar question
Thank you for your comment. I plan to read the RCW you provided. I need to prepare for a hearing to correct the error and once this has been accomplished, I plan to move forward seeking visitation, and obviously with no representation. My child was protected by myself AND family during the lengthy process of being charged thru my incarceration. I have always had custody of my child who resided with me until I departed. During my incarceration, I have maintained a close relationship with my child thru letters, cards, gifts and daily phone calls. Aside from physically seeing her for a short time, I am entirely involved in her life. She is a very well adjusted child and doing quite well. I am hopeful for a positive outcome in my endeavor seeking visitation once I resolve the documentation issue. I remain hopeful.
Yes. An Alford plea requires you to acknowledge that, though while you do not feel you are guilty, you are pleading guilty to avoid the hazards of trial and to take advantage of plea bargain offer.. Thus, there is very little practical difference between a guilty plea and an Alford plea.

Thank you for your comment. I do understand, however; the charges were reduced for a DV plea bargain, thus I truly believe the "conviction" mentioned in the visitation plan should be removed from the docs (or at least amended to reflect accuracy), since it in no way reflects what actually took place. The sentencing docs are accurate, the only docs which reflect inaccuracy are those which pertain to the visitation/custody. I have a job ahead of me. Thank you for your clarification which reinforces my original belief.
An "Alford" plea even to a lessor charge is a "best interst" plea but still a guilty plea. contact a criminal defense lawyer in your area.

My heart beats for you
there was a creakiness in Sakura's voice as she spoke to Sasuke that morning. Showing a sign that the previous night had not been so kind to her.
She had been up all night, just thinking, wondering. And before she knew it, the clock struck six a.m.. Time to get up.
And this was it, what Sakura had stayed up a whole lonely night for...Today, she would ask Sasuke one. more. time.
" Yes, Sakura?"
The pink-haired kunoichi stopped. She hadnt realized that she had already called out to her Sasuke-kun.
"Do you...Do you, like me?"
Sasuke remained aloof.
Sakura persisted.
" Do you think I'm pretty?"
Again, cold indifference.
" Would you cry if I died? Or do you even care...?"
Sasuke's icy disdain and unkind replies were becoming unbearable for the cherry blossom girl.
"No! No what! No, you wouldn't cry! Or no, YOU DON'T CARE!"
Sakura started Running as fast as she could away from Sasuke, tears streaming from her eyes. But before she could successfully pass Sasuke, She felt a strong grip on her arm.
A small, pitiful tear crawled its way down Sakura's cheek, and she looked up from the bulky hand clutching onto her arm.
Sasuke. He had the same indifferent look on his face, but with just a glint of care in his eyes, a glint. Sasuke rarely showed his emotions so this wasnt any different for the pink-haired ninja, but it hurt her so to see that look in his eyes, that seemed almost to her like pity. But Sasuke never showed pity before, maybe..well, this emotion...maybe it was something different...
" Sakura, I don't like you...because I love you..." His grip lightened.
" I dont think you're pretty because I know you're beautiful."
Two hearts were beating faster than sound.
"If you had died, crying wouldn't have even crossed my mind..I would be holding you in my arms, still trying to breathe...---
Because...I couldn't cry..I couldn't even stand living; not without you."
By the end of this, Sakura's control over her crying was long gone. But they were happy tears, along with a happy smile. And Sasuke had never let go of Sakura's arm, making it much easier for him to pull her closer..
Now there was almost no room inbetween the two Chunin.
No one had ever invaded Sasuke's personal bubble this much before, let alone been forced into it. Being "Forced" and " invaded" were used lightely...
Two lips met, and fate seemed to smile.
" Sasuke, why...did you have to torture me for so long? If this is a joke I---"
Sasuke brought Sakura up for another kiss.
"I've kept my feelings from you... I've kept them secret because---
I didnt know if I wanted you.. just so that I could have someone there, or to have someone to comfort me...
Or, if I wanted you for you. And I'm glad. I finally figured it out..that my heart beats for you, and only you.."
WOOT! Another one done! Thanx for reading! I dont remember where I got this idea but it reminded me a lot of sasuke and sakura! So hope you liked it! And thanx Shou-kun for your great reviews on my last two stories! YAY! I have a #1 fan! tee-hee!

* To buy back up to 175 mln stg of shares
* To divest majority of merchandising division
* Plans bolt-on acquisitions
* Shares rise as much as 8 pct (Adds CEO and analysts' comments, updates share movement)
By Karen Rebelo
March 7 (Reuters) - British engineer IMI Plc said it would buy back up to 175 million pounds ($263 million) of its shares and sell most of its merchandising business, sending its shares up as much as 8 percent.
IMI, which reported a 1 percent rise in full-year adjusted pretax profit, said it was also planning to spend significantly more on acquisitions in the years ahead.
"One of the most attractive end-market segments for us is the energy market - oil and gas upstream, refining and also things like LNG," Chief Executive Martin Lamb told Reuters.
The company also raised its final dividend to 20.7 pence per share from 19 a year earlier.
IMI, which specialises in fluid control systems such as valves and beverage dispensers, said it planned to sell most of its merchandising business, which makes marketing displays. The business contributed about 8 percent of revenue in 2012.
"We've got into a good stage now where I think it is going to be worth a good sum to another buyer," Lamb said, adding that the sale would help IMI focus on its core manufacturing business.
Adjusted pretax profit rose to 366.3 million pounds in 2012, up slightly from 363.4 million pounds a year earlier. Revenue increased 3 percent to 2.19 billion pounds.
Investec Securities analyst Michael Blogg said IMI's results were largely as expected, reflecting a challenging second half. Investors were focused on the share buyback and the announcement of the long-awaited sale of its display business, Blogg said.
IMI said it expected market conditions to remain subdued in the first half of 2013 but to improve gradually as the year progressed.
Numis Securities analyst Scott Cagehin said he expected margins to improve as IMI's fluid power business, which makes fluid-control components for trucks, was better placed to manage a tough business environment.
Shares of the FTSE 100 company were up 5.3 percent at 1329.36 pence at 0955 GMT on the London Stock Exchange on Thursday. They toucehd a life-high of 1370 pence earlier. ($1 = 0.6643 British pounds) (Reporting by Karen Rebelo in Bangalore; Editing by Joyjeet Das and Ted Kerr)

Killeen Daily Herald
Soldiers looking for a payday loan have a nonprofit option that may be better for their pocketbooks.
The nonprofit PenFed Foundation offers a low-interest alternative that aims to protect military personnel from predatory lending, get soldiers back on their feet and teach them to be more money savvy.
A 2006 report out of the Department of Defense shows that in that year, about 5 percent of active-duty members used payday loans. The report states that the average amount borrowed was around $360, and the average fees brought the loans to almost $750.
The PenFed Foundation created the Asset Recovery Kit, better known as the ARK loan, in 2003 as an alternative to payday loans. Like payday loans, they are small, short-term cash loans, but instead of charging around $19 for every $100, PenFed only charges $1 for every $100 borrowed. And unlike traditional payday loans, the fees never roll over.
Kate Kohler, chief operating officer of the PenFed Foundation, and a former Army captain who spent about four years at Fort Hood, said that many times the strength of the military is also what makes them a primary target to lenders.
"They're dependable, trustworthy and lenders know there are repercussions for them at work. You can be punished within your unit if you don't pay," Kohler said. "Lenders also know that two times a month, the military gets paid. And the lender knows when, how and even how much."
In addition, PenFed asks the borrower to attend free financial counseling that teaches budgeting and credit.
"Many people don't understand that credit is tied to the rate you pay for a home, your credit cards and the interest rate of your debt. If you don't know the consequences of your actions, you can't influence change," Kohler said. "Everybody wants to give soldiers money, but education helps them in the long term."
The number of ARK loans taken out show that more soldiers are learning about this option. Last year at Fort Hood, PenFed gave out 565 ARK loans, up from 449 in 2009. Loans are available at the PenFed branch on Tank Destroyer Boulevard at Fort Hood.
If she could offer any advice to military members, Kohler said she would tell them to be disciplined with their money.
"It's difficult sometimes, but the great advantage that soldiers have is that they have jobs that aren't jobs, they are careers. You can take great pride in your role as a soldier. Instead of pride in things, like a fancy truck, they can look to pride in personal achievements."

I have extremly bad anxiety issues and i need help handeling it. Im 17 and a senior in high school. I always seem to walk out of school because my anxiety always happens there. I need to start going again and being normal because i hate being like this and i would like to graduate. My mom gets so frusterated with it and i know im hurting her which i hate doing. My stomach always starts hurting i get really dizzy and my heart races which all make me want to cry....so i leave. The school knows about whats going on but it still doesnt help me. My parents want to take me to a doctor but im terrified of doctors so i freeze up infront of them and frankly act like an ass.

i have really bad anxiety issues and i dont know what to do.
Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
You really should listen to your parents on this one and see a doctor. There are a number of treatments for anxiety and you do not need to feel like this. Treatment can help you feel better and reduce your symptoms of anxiety and help you manage symptoms on a daily basis.
You are not the only one that feels this way. You can read more about this: School Phobia and Obstacles to Treatment: Avoiding the Doctor.
Sometimes, knowing you are not alone helps you. You can also have your mom contact the doctor's office and discuss your fears before you get there. The doctor will be prepared for you. Some doctor's offices will try to help and not keep you waiting so you don't become more nervous.
Please try to talk to your parents and let them know you do want to get help. School is so important, you want to make sure you graduate.
Let me know how you are doing.
Go to the physician! So...you "act like an ass"..so what? You are not alone in your hesitation to seek care from a physician. You also are not alone in your issues regarding anxiety. YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE!
Your quality of life can be so much improved. It takes much courage to address problems and get them resolved. If you feel like an "Ass"...so what...feel it and DO IT ANYWAY! I can promise you, the physician will not see you in that way. You are feeling that way because you are looking through the 'screen' of an anxiety disorder. Please, take the first step and seek help. I am a nurse. I also suffer from an anxiety/depressive disorder. It took years for me to gather the courage to address MY own issues. I have...it is so easy to be on the 'other side' of health care (nurse)..so-o-o difficult to be the patient. Please, make the appointment-write down all your symptoms-and take them to your physician. You have to address this even if you "feel" like an ass. You are not! You have health issues that need to be addressed. Do you think people with diabetes are idiots for seeking assistance for their condition? Well then, neither are you. NOBODY ever wants to go to the physician. We all have a need to at some point in our lives.

On Tuesday night, the Bruins came back from a 3-0 deficit against the New York Rangers with three consecutive goals in the third period. But that brought up the question: where has this been all season. The Bruins have the talent to score goals and score them quickly but they haven't.
It's been this way since Claude Julien and his defense first system took over. But this year there was hope that the Bruins would actually start to score. That hasn't been the case. They've scored more than three goals in just two games and are averaging 2.73 goals a game, 13th in the NHL.
"We've had a lot more chances to score. We just have to bear down more and those chances," Johnny Boychuk said. 'We could probably have 10, 15 more goals if we'd done that and the goal differential would be a lot different."
The Bruins are currently just a +7 in goal differential.
While the Bruins expect everyone to contribute offensively, they were expecting more from Tyler Seguin. But those expectations haven't panned out. Seguin has just two goals and six points, not the numbers that many fans were expecting from him after he had 40 points in 29 games in Switzerland during the lockout.
"With a little bit of luck, or some would say a little more determination around the net, he'd have half a dozen goals right now," Andy Brickley said.
There has been times when it has looked like Seguin could finally be turning corner but every time it never lasts for more than a game. The Bruins need Seguin to figure out why he isn't scoring soon. He has the skills and talent to be a top scorer in the NHL and the Bruins need him to show that.
"I know eventually a couple will go in and I'll go on a roll," Seguin said. "I just need to stay with it and bear down."
But Seguin isn't the only one who hasn't been able to score. The third line has struggle to start the season. Chris Kelly, Rich Peverley, and Chris Bourque have scored just two goals combined.
"There's still some guys that aren't at the peak of their game yet," Julien said.
Julien might as well have been looking straight at the third line when he said that. They were a mess to start the season, but they have shown signs of life in recent games. The puck just needs to start going into the back of the net for these three. Whether it's finding a new left wing and replacing Bourque or just extra practice, this Bruins need some scoring to come this three.
Along with getting certain players on track, the Bruins need to start converting on the power play, or the "powerless" play as it has been called. Only the Rangers and Colorado Avalanche have a worse power play percentage than the Bruins 9.3 percent.
"They have the ability, talent and options to have a good power play," Brickley said. "We can talk all the X's and O's you want … but it really comes down to one thing, and that's work ethic and the desire … and the will to want to score goals. And I truly believe that that's the only element missing right now from this team."
There have been moments where the power play has looked good but just hasn't converted. If they can convert a couple times soon, the confidence will come back and the power play will begin to click. That goes for the whole team. Get the confidence up in the goal scorers and the goals will come. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

"We just got to get our minds in the right places and the pucks will start to come in," Peter Chiarelli said.

Albuquerque Has A New Mascot … And It's Totally Meth
Not that we blame them. "Breaking Bad" has totally transformed Albuquerque from that random city that's spelled weird to the meth capital of the world. What else were the great capitalists of New Mexico supposed to do besides squeeze every last penny from their infamous, regionalized crystal? In honor of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman's "Blue Sky" meth (99.1 percent pure, thankyouverymuch), the good businessmen of the Southwestern city have been selling donuts, bath salts, and candy all in the name of the fictional, highly addictive, and massively illegal drug.
One tasty treat they serve that's laced with fake, druggy-goodness is the Blue Sky donut, frosted and coated in blue candy sugar, and sold at gourmet shop Rebel Donuts. Additionally, The Candy Lady is giving us all a chance to have a "taste" with another sweet — the actual candy-prop they use on set which the maker describes as just "rock candy with blue dye." To finish the BB confectionery trifecta, a Albuquerquean folk artist makes PEZ dispensers in the form of its characters — because who wouldn't want to eat their sugary rectangles out of a meth king's neck? (I'm looking at you Gus Fring).
However, if you're still on your summer diet, or you're not in the mood to ingest methamphetamine replicas, Great Face and Body provides some lovely blue crystal bath salts to drizzle in your tub when your boss wants to murder you, or you have to deflect the DEA. The same company even holds classes for your first "cook" (making candy, obvs) where you "graduate" with a mug shot.
Oh, but this bustling city is not done yet. In case you ever go temporarily insane and decide to go to Albuquerque on vacation, there's the BaD trolley tour, where, in like, a nice little trolley ride you see where Heisenberg blew up Tuco's headquarters, and the laundry mat secretly holding Gus's giant meth lab.
Watch out Disney, I'm pretty sure a fucking meth theme park is coming next. As a huge "Breaking Bad" fan myself, I understand these are all justifiable, if not necessary, business ventures for a city lacking in recognition and simple phonetics. After all, a city known for its fictitious drug world is better than a city that's not known at all. [People]

Scott Maltz, Board Vice-President - North Peninsula Jewish Campus

Steve Toler, Assistant City Manager – City of Foster City
(650) 740-7007 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Foster City, CA – The City of Foster City and the North Peninsula Jewish Campus (NPJC) negotiators have reached a tentative agreement on a set of business terms for the proposed sale by the City to NPJC of the approximately 11-acre site on which the NPJC facilities have been operating since 2004. The NPJC presently operates under a 55-year lease on the property that is owned by the City. At its meeting on April 16, 2012, the City Council will consider the approval of the Business Term Sheet that sets forth the terms under which the property would be sold to the NPJC. The NPJC Board has approved the Term Sheet subject to City Council approval on April 16.
"This deal is a positive move for both the City and the NPJC," commented City Manager Jim Hardy. "The City is able to realize a fair price for the value of the property and the NPJC will have more
flexibility to work with donors to support the development of the site."
Some key development terms in the document include a $20 million sale price with a $1 million down payment and a $19 million promissory note at 3.25% interest for 25 years. The loan is secured
by a first position deed of trust held by the City. While the NPJC pays off the promissory note to the City, NPJC's obligations under the current lease agreement will no longer apply, including obligations for future construction, and the NPJC will be allowed to modify or eliminate discounts for Foster City residents. The parking area currently used by the NPJC which is located on the adjacent and currently vacant 15-acres owned by the City will be replaced with an alternative permanent parking site, targeted for the end of 2012.
The NPJC will continue to operate and offer its world-class facilities, including the Peninsula Jewish Community Center and the Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School, to the community and its members.
The preliminary schedule calls for the Planning Commission to consider a change in the Land Use Designation to accommodate the change in ownership in May with Council action to approve the sale
in late May or June 2012. Escrow would close within 90 days of the approval of the sale.
"The NPJC has been a strong community partner in Foster City for the past 8 years. This agreement will assist us in maintaining that partnership for many years to come," said NPJC Board Chair Scott
The staff report that includes the proposed Business Term Sheet and additional background information is available on the City's website www.fostercity.org.
For more information about the Business Term Sheet, contact Steve Toler, Assistant City Manager, Foster City, at (650) 740-7007 or firstname.lastname@example.com; or Scott Maltz, Board Vice-President North Peninsula Jewish Campus, 415-254-3553 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Oil on canvas painting of the familiar and oft-painted flower market at the Madeleine in Paris, 25 1/2" by 19 1/2" (31 1/4" by 25 1/2" in attractive above-average distressed look framing), signed at lower left by mid century Parisian artist H. PIERREL. I don't see a listing but have not searched extensively, though I think I have seen other works by this hand in the past. The painting is of a nice size and should please any Francophile. The condition is good overall, with some paint flaking in the dark flower shed, as shown, and a bit of craquelure going on at top left in the sky.
