India's economic downturn over the past couple of years has resulted in negative growth for general aviation there, which has "hit rock bottom," according to Rohit Kapur, president of the country's Business Aviation Operators Association (BAOA). But, on a more optimistic note, the Indian bizav community hopes that this coming May's general election will result in more decisive political leadership that could yield long-awaited changes to a regulatory environment that many agree has held back growth in their own industry and the wider Indian economy.
"General aviation is directly related to the health of the economy and once orders start coming in [for Indian companies] I am confident regulations will fall into place," Kapur told AIN. "If business is sluggish it is difficult to convince the board that an aircraft is an urgent buy."
The past two years have seen approximately 30 Indian-owned helicopters sold and some 15 jets leaving the national register. While most aircraft sold were smaller types owned by charter companies, larger operators are also increasingly cutting their fleet sizes. These include the following companies: Larsen & Toubro, Essar Group, Jindal Steel & Power, Reliance Infrastructure andGrasim Industries. Reliance, for example, sold its Beechcraft King Air and a Hawker, as well as a Bell helicopter that it had operated until recently. Last year, Essar shut down its in-house engineering department of eight to 10 people. Others are looking at similar exits from business aviation, according to the BAOA.
"Downsizing is detrimental to growth of the industry. People are losing jobs," said Kapur. "We need consolidation to bring in efficiencies. This has not as yet started in India though the BAOA is making a push for it by holding discussions with the regulator–the Directorate General of Civil Aviation [DGCA]–to recognize aircraft management companies that offer an integrated asset management approach to owners."
Regulatory Impediments to Growth
For now, the DGCA still has a complicated mesh of regulations that make life difficult for business aircraft users. The BAOA has suggested that private companies or holders of air operator certificates be allowed to take over the management of aircraft "that can generate revenues when an aircraft is not being used by the owner." An ICAO-led team endorsed this recommendation in a draft general aviation policy submitted to the Indian government in April 2012, but Indian officials have yet to implement any coherent regulations for the sector.
Recently, Kapur suggested the authorities mandate that owners of fewer than three aircraft use management companies. Such a requirement, he said, would help raise safety standards and improve cost-effectiveness. "The DGCA has said it has problems handling some 164 NSOPs [nonscheduled operator permit holders]," he stated. "This will reduce the number to around 35 and create fewer administrative hassles. Also, the DGCA has to address ICAO requirements for safety and quality, thereby intensifying the burden on owners. Even those with one aircraft have to hire at least five people [to operate it]," he said. With standards of training not up to the mark and a lack of availability of people to run operations' departments, "the important step is to consolidate," said Kapur.
A major regulatory issue facing the industry is a DGCA requirement that mandates installation of a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder (extended by a year to December 31 this year) on twin-engine aircraft weighing less than 5,700 kg (12,566 pounds). The BAOA has cautioned that the high cost of installation and certification may result in the disposal of many more aircraft.
"Time is ticking," Kapur told AIN. "We had asked the DGCA to do an economic analysis. That hasn't been done. We're slowly creeping toward confrontation again. This is affecting sales of aircraft into India, which have slowed as sellers are unable to install this equipment on aircraft manufactured before 2007."
India's differential rate of customs duty–18.5 percent for aircraft intended for private use and 2.5 percent for charter companies–also needs to be rationalized, according to the BAOA. "Duty imbalance is killing the industry. The government should impose a nominal duty for both categories," said Kapur.
Indian-owned subsidiary companies regularly flying aircraft in and out of the country face customs difficulties. The BAOA maintains that customs rules in general have far too many loopholes in India and leave a lot to interpretation, all of which acts as a further disincentive to aircraft ownership.
Infrastructure Challenges
In addition to regulatory hurdles, the Indian industry faces shortcomings in terms of airport infrastructure, most notably a lack of parking areas for business aircraft. "Mumbai is a huge mess. Approximately 70 percent of owners have moved out to neighboring airports," explained Kapur. "This defeats the idea of owning a business aircraft. We are hearing rumblings of people saying they may as well charter aircraft to save time," he added.
Some in the industry have suggested that the government revisit the operation, management and development agreement signed with its private joint-venture airport partners. The BAOA has complained that this agreement was structured in a way that effectively discriminates against access for business aviation. "The government has put us on a path of confrontation" with airports, which "view [GA operations] as intruders," said Kapur.
Following discussions with the government, Kapur is hoping authorities will give consideration to the establishment of new FBOs and heliports. In particular, he wants a more favorable environment for operators engaged in services such as aerial photography, emergency medical flights and power-line support. As things stand, operators from overseas are getting this work, employing foreign pilots, simply because it can take a domestic operator six months to obtain clearance to conduct a three-month contract.
Kapur acknowledged that the industry has made some progress in rationalizing the Indian government's approach to regulating it. For example, operators can now get landing permits for foreign-registered aircraft in three business days, compared with the seven days that it previously took. Overflight permits can now be issued in one day rather than three. The government has also authorized Indian consulates overseas to grant business visas to visiting crew.

Dear Friends of the W.C.V.T.C.
The opening event of the school year 2011 at the William Cornelius Vocational Training Centre was a wonderful time; to see all the new students coming with their hearts full of joy, with expectations for the new journey ready to begin. For them as beginners is quite an experience, because the Education Project of the Centre has been focused to develop a new citizen, a worker, a university student, a believer based in the word of God, a better son or daughter. Their first impression at the entrance is to see the building of the Centre; a place dedicated to education, seeking the strategies of new learning based in the model of competence.
This year two more careers are offered: Graphic Design and Office Computation, these have been added to the W.C.V.T.C. and as a result, fifty new students have become part of the family of the William Cornelius Vocational Training Centre. To us the students are not a number or a statistic, to us they are precious jewelry in the hands of God; we will remember our commitment with the Lord to fulfill the vision of the Centre which is, "
To see effective Christian leaders raised up from our students for the good of Guatemala and God´s kingdom
" The future generation of young men & women who come to study with the goal of becoming successful in life, are also in your hands; when you help or donate for education it's truly an investment in the lives of the youth.
For them as young adults the reality to confront is a number on the national statistics for secondary education of Guatemala; where only 20% reach education at this level as a society, we are leaving behind 80% from the classroom . Being a young adult in Guatemala is a challenge between finding an opportunity and access to an education programme. The numbers are very significant 30 are coming from the scholarship system of Child Care Plus, others have heard about The Vocational Training Centre and the education project which has been considered by the Ministry of Education of Guatemala, as an example to follow.
The challenge for the faculty is to make the students feel the need to pursue success in life; because "
education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and inequality and lays a foundation for sustained economic growth
" Education is an indicator of measurement for a world development and the investment in this area is crucial for the continuation of the society itself.
Last year the W.C.V.T.C. graduated 23 students in two specializations; Dental Hygiene and Computer Technology, both these careers are three year courses. The institution worked last year in conjunction with Businesses and Dental Clinics as well as other professionals to seek a place where the students could train with their expertise, this effort is important to continue; touching base with the Industry & Business world. There is a need to look, to find or approach others, because there is an entire generation of Guatemalan young men and women that need us; there is a number that Guatemala needs to reduce and the W.C.V.T.C. is working hard to alleviate this reality, by believing, having faith and praying. If Joshua stopped the time for the victory of His people, our prayer is "Lord change our time; to reach others for Your Kingdom and for Your Glory" (Joshua 10:12-14).

Helston's incoming mayor has spoken of the "community" feel of the town and the opportunities that exist for those who wish to get involved.
In his first address upon taking up the post, Mike Thomas said: "People love Helston because of the sense of community it offers. We offer a unique opportunity for anybody who wishes to fully participate in this amazing little town."
He went on to praise the different groups that did so much for the town, including the Helston Business Improvement Partnership, Age Concern, the churches and South Kerrier Alliance to name a few.
Mr Thomas takes over the position from Jonathan Radford-Gaby, who has served for the last two terms of office.
He was proposed as mayor by Mr Radford-Gaby himself, who said: "As deputy mayor and deputy mayoress, Councillor and Mrs Thomas have served willingly with dignity and with the respect that the position rightly commands.
"I can think of nobody better qualified to succeed me."
He added that Mr Thomas had led the play and young people committee, and latterly the planning committee also, with "diligence and dignity."
"His gentle guidance and leadership style has been an example to us all," said Mr Radford-Gaby.
Mr Thomas, who declined to vote for himself, received votes from all councillors aside from Councillor Ronnie Williams who declined to vote.
He described his election as "quite overwhelming," before going on to welcome the assembled guests in both Cornish and English.
Mr Thomas thanked "above all" his wife Briege, who will be mayoress, and their children for their support.
He paid tribute to Mr Radford-Gaby and his wife Wendy for their "very hard work" over the last two years, saying: "Their due diligence has served our time exceedingly well. Jonathan took to the role as if born to it; his sense of propriety, humour and fair play will be inspirational to me as I go forward as mayor.
"My vision for this town is to proceed with increased vigour the work done by our previous mayor. As a town council I feel that we are best placed to be the voice of the people of Helston and to represent their voices to the authorities and agencies."
He announced that his chaplain for the forthcoming year would be Canon Rev David Miller from St Michael's Church and confirmed the two charities he would be supporting through fundraising: the Helston Community Hospital League of Friends and a new fund aimed at supporting outstanding and deserving young people of the town, to help them achieve their dreams.
Mr Thomas, a teacher at Helston Community College, has worked in the town since 1983 and been a full time resident since 1992.
His mayor-making ceremony was attended by schoolchildren from the town and also friends from Cardiff who had travelled down for the occasion.
Councillor Mark Upton (pictured below) was subsequently elected deputy mayor for the forthcoming civic year.

Frisky Rant: Dispatches From A Die-Hard Duke Fan
If you see me today, you'll notice that I look a tad bit beaten down. This is partly because I am sick. But it is also because last night's NCAA championship game was, in a word, stressful. For two hours, the Duke University Blue Devils battled it out with the Butler Bulldogs. Duke was the #1 seed, the team overdetermined to win it all. Butler, however, was hot off a 25-game winning streak and amped after pulling off some stunning upsets in the tournament. The fact that their campus was less than five miles from the arena where the championship game was held only seemed to light their fire even more. While Duke kept eeking out small leads throughout the game, they were clearly thrown off their game and the momentum clearly seemed to be on Butler's side. Until the last moment, as Butler's final shot ricocheted off the rim and Duke won by a mere two points, the game was a true nail biter. Seriously, yesterday afternoon, my nails were long. Now they are gross nubs.
See, I am a huge, colossal, royal-blue loving, devil horn-wearing Duke fan. I know this is a hugely unpopular thing to admit in public. But I assure you that it isn't my fault. I grew up in Durham, North Carolina, the daughter of a Duke English professor. I went to my first basketball game at Cameron Indoor Stadium circa age 8, when my dad's friend who had season tickets was out of town and passed his seats to us. I was instantly hooked. For the next few years, anytime my dad scored tickets—always two—I'd find creative ways to convince my sister that she didn't want to go anyway. It usually worked. I painted my face blue to match the rest of the Cameron Crazies.
I started playing basketball and went to Mike Krzyzewski's basketball camp for two summers in a row. On days of Duke/UNC games (UNC is located just 10 minutes away, and this is one of the fiercest rivalries in college basketball), my entire school could be divided into two camps—those wearing light blue and those wearing royal blue. I went so far as to paste Duke decals on my cheek.
At this point in time, Duke was not the reviled team it is today. Back then, the Blue Devils were regarded as a top-notch basketball team that recruited players who actually semi-cared about their studies and graduated rather than going pro the first chance they got. While the team had made it to the Final Four a remarkable number of times, they'd never won a National Championship. Until I was 11, in 1991. The next year, I cried as Christian Laettner managed to fire off a perfect shot at the buzzer, offing Kansas and sending Duke to the Final Four. They brought the championship home for the second year in a row.
And that is, I believe, when the Duke hate started. And things only got worse as the years went by and Duke racked up another championship in 2001. In 2005, the Duke loathing seemed to reach a fever pitch. That year during the NCAA tournament, I watched in horror as ESPN aired a segment of Duke star J.J. Redick (one of the most hated players in the country because he was (a) a pretty boy and (b) really good) reading his poetry. It was bad. And let's just say that the segment managed to make him even more detestable among non-Duke fans.
Last night, the Duke disdain was on full display. It felt like the whole country was rooting for Butler, even if they'd never so much as heard of the Indianapolis school. Nearly every sportscaster and sports writer in the country framed the game as a battle between David and Goliath, casting Butler—a small school with no National Championships rings to its name—as the determined David and Duke as the big, bad, overly confident Goliath. Every friend and family member I texted with throughout the night said that they were in a location—be it a bar or a friend's house—where everyone was rooting for the Bulldogs. By coincidence, the championship game took place pretty much in Butler's backyard, meaning that a huge number of fans were in the arena. But I'd say the breakdown in Lucas Oil Stadium was 90 percent for Butler, 10 percent for Duke—anyone without an allegiance to either team was rooting against the Blue Devils. The crowd's roar in Butler's favor was disconcerting. Sure it is human nature to want the underdog to win—I do the same all the time. But when your favorite team happens to be the overdog, it's a little, uh, grating.
Don't get me wrong. I am absolutely thrilled that Duke won the National Championship last night—their fourth. I jumped up and down, and called my family instantly—everyone was going nuts. I will of course buy and proudly wear to the gym a championship t-shirt. But I do have to admit that the popular opinion of the game has taken away a little of the thrill of victory. And that kind of sucks.
I only hate to see how bad the Duke repulsion gets next year when they make it all the way to the championship again. Sorry—I had to.

In July, BEG Research Scientist Associate Tiffany Caudle led a group of high school students from Southwest Texas on the GeoFORCE Young Geoscientist field course in Austin and Port Aransas. On the field trip, students visited locations in Austin including Mt. Bonnell, McKinney Falls State Park, Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Park, and Barton Springs Pool. During the Port Aransas portion of the trip, students studied many environments on a barrier island (Mustang Island), including the beach, dunes, bay margin, wetlands, and washover features. The students also explored the coastal marine environment aboard the Marine Science Institute's Research Vessel Katy, a 57-foot trawler, by sampling marine life through a plankton tow, a benthic mud grab, and trawl. Said Caudle, who began working with GeoFORCE in 2006, "For me, the coolest part of the GeoFORCE program - aside from teaching geology to an awesome group of students—is watching the friendships grow between the students."
Two million boxes filling three giant warehouses across Texas – arguably, the largest collection of archival rock material in the world. That describes the Bureau's library of well core, cuttings and other rock samples now housed and maintained in its Houston, Austin and Midland core research centers. Geoscientists, engineers, researchers, educators, students, and the general public travel from around the world to unlock the stories held in these irreplaceable rocks, answering questions and generating new ideas about precious subterranean commodities, like oil, water, and natural gas. But how did the collection become so massive? Largely through donations of rock material over the years from companies large and small. Although the expensive process of coring a well is not as common these days, there is still no better way to determine rock characteristics first-hand. When a company has learned all that it feels that it can from the rocks it has retrieved from thousands of feet below its leases, there is no better option for their disposition than to donate them to the Bureau. Calls and e-mails are fielded continually from geologists and other industry representatives hopeful of turning over their cache of core, cuttings and other rock samples to an organization with facilities and people better positioned to care for them. One advantage to donating the rocks is the continued ability to revisit them, answering any new questions that may arise. Bureau staff are careful curators of these vital rock samples, preserving them just as if they were great books from an ancient library. Donating is also good for the bottom line: Companies avoid costly storage and disposal fees. Most companies donating rock material also make tax-deductible financial contributions to the Bureau's core research endowment, the proceeds from which help to pay for operations to care for the core, cuttings and other rocks over time. Among the major donors to this endowment are Chevron, BP, ConocoPhillips, Marathon, Shell, and Occidental Petroleum. Ultimately, the Bureau's mammoth archive of rock material is the foundation for the vast majority of its cutting-edge energy and environmental research. For more information about donating rock material to Bureau core research centers, contact Mark Blount.
On July 18, 2014, Katherine Romanak presented "Monitoring and Environmental Protection at Geologic Carbon Storage Sites" for the U.S. Congressional Briefing Series "Energy from the Earth." The series was designed by a consortium of professional geoscience societies working together to inform energy legislation by making technical information available to U.S. policymakers. The briefing on CCS was Part 6 of the series and entitled "Geologic Carbon Storage: Feasibility, Technology, and Challenges" and was presented once in the morning at a location within the House of Representatives and again in the afternoon at a location within the Senate. Topics included geological requirements for carbon dioxide storage, potential for storage in the United States, facility design and technology, strategies to minimize risk including groundwater impacts and the potential for induced seismicity, and monitoring needs for storage verification and public assurance. Other speakers were Peter Warwick (USGS) and Josh White (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), with Brenda Pierce (USGS) moderating. The presentations were well-attended by members from the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and various subcommittees relating to Energy and Environment.

Quotable: Lindsay Lohan Talks Cocaine
"I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. Now I'm in a place where I don't need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to. … I went to rehab three times. The first time I checked myself in because I had taken Ambien. It's a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate. I'd run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed. When I woke up I was so scared, I called my therapist and said, 'Can I just go somewhere for a month?'"

A CURRENT AFFAIR has hit back at Malaysian media for describing the news program as "gutter journalism" after it aired a controversial segment surrounding the co-pilot of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
In a response to news.com.au, Executive Producer Grant Williams slammed claims the story was "unethical" and based on "hearsay".
Melbourne tourist Jonti Roos and her friend Jaan Maree in the cockpit where he smoked, took photos and entertained the pair during a previous international flight.The segment, which aired earlier this week, suggested co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid engaged in lewd behaviour with
Ms Roos, who is South African, is currently travelling around Australia.
"Throughout the entire flight they were talking to us and they were actually smoking throughout the flight which I don't think they're allowed to do," Ms Roos said.
Since then, Channel Nine's news program has been bombarded with complaints from Malaysia's government-controlled media, suggesting the story was "gutter journalism and one-sided".
In an article in the Malaysia Digest, Media Prima chairman Datuk Johan Jaaffar described the article as "gutter journalism, one-sided and based on hear-say".
According to Jaaffar the segment should have not gone to air, arguing "the principle of journalism should be the same anywhere in the world".
Meanwhile, the former managing editor of the New Straits Times, Nuraina Samad, said the program "made me cringe".
"It is bad journalism and in bad taste."
But Mr Williams claims A Current Affair's report was "very plainly not hearsay" since it carried pictures of the event itself and a first person account of what actually happened.
"The young woman also made it clear she was not suggesting there was anything unsafe about the co-pilot's behaviour," he said.
"Countless theories have been reported by media organisations worldwide as to the possible circumstances relating to the ill-fated MH370.
"Our story simply demonstrated that one of the flight crew had a history of allowing civilians into the cockpit during flight, a practice which is prohibited.
"We considered that a legitimate factor worthy of mention as this mystery unfolds."
In a statement by Malaysia Airlines released on Tuesday, the carrier said it was "shocked by these allegations" and were "not able to confirm the validity of the pictures and videos of the alleged incident".
"As you are aware, we are in the midst of a crisis, and we do not want our attention to be diverted," it read.
Meanwhile, a Chinese satellite has found evidence of a "suspected crash site" for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in what is considered to be the first solid lead in the search for the jet.

Before anyone starts to cry foul (or, more appropriately for our blog, maybe fowl?), this is not so much of a review as it is an honest effort to keep you, our dear readers, up-to-date on our more interesting dining experiences.
Andy and I are complete and utter sushi nuts. We love the good stuff. We love the baroque stuff. We love the semi-good stuff from the cooler case at Sendiks. We even like my sad-excuse for homemade sushi that I force on my relatives every year at Christmas... but that's another show.
About the only thing we don't like about sushi is how quickly our bills begin to rack up at the finer institutions around town. Which is why, when I first went to Kyoto (the sushi bar, not the city in Japan) about two years ago, it was an absolute revelation: all-you-can-eat sushi on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, and the quality... was really pretty good!
But, ripe fruit soon spoils, right? Well, sometimes. But in the case of Kyoto, I'm happy to report, after a number of Eating Milwaukee outings over the past couple of months, we have nothing but raves about the place.
Sure, more authentic sushi can be found elsewhere. Sure, some of the combinations are kinda weird (teriyaki chicken maki, er, what?). Sure, the service can be kind of slow sometimes, and my inkling is that it keeps the lightweights from ordering so much sushi. But, for those of us die-hards who have been conditioning for such a dare, Kyoto still delivers the one-two punch of quantity and quality that beats my monthly sushi craving into submission.
Let's go to the highlight reel, shall we?
Some variety of maki topped with mango sauce. The sweet/tart mango plays a nice jazz-chord with the salty crunch of the tempura, so I'll let this one go with a, "Eh. I liked it."
The "Sunshine Roll." I'm going to write the exact description from Kyoto's take-out menu, so pardon the tense-shifts, missing pronouns and adverbs, and bizarre syntax. I think it's kind of charming.
Grilled salmon, avocado, and cream cheese inside. Fresh salmon, crunchy, and spicy sauce on top.
The salmon inside was cooked. I guess I wasn't jumping out of my boxers for grilled salmon maki, but it was fun. In a grilled-salmon kind of way.
Shrimp tempura roll. Enough said:
Spicy tuna roll. This is one where I actually was sort of underwhelmed, only because the texture of the tuna vaguely resembles that of strawberry preserves. I think the chefs' chop is so fine that when they mix it with the chili sauce, the tuna loses any sense of integrity it once had, and simply becomes spicy mush. Next!
Philly Maki. I'm ashamed to say, I absolutely loved this one. Cold-smoked raw salmon, avocado, and cream cheese. Absolutely to die for.
And this is the part of the show where it becomes obvious that Kyoto is not aiming for authenticity: the eel nigiri isn't so much broiled as it is deep fried. Whatever. The end bits of the eel are crispy, the filet as a whole is perfectly done, and it's piping hot when it comes to your plate. Traditional? Absolutely not. Authentic? Ehhh, questionable. Delicious? Hold on to your hat, because this is a fantastic twist on the classic...
Miso soup! We've missed you! No, we actually haven't, but you came with dinner, and like a friend-of-a -friend you're not fond of but tolerate to keep from offending, we ate the soup, anyway.
Oh, my deep-fried oyster maki. Still my favorite, after all these years. There's something so holy about a crunchy, soft, creamy oyster in vinegared rice, with avocado and sweet eel sauce.
The legendary snow white roll. So good, we ordered a minimum of two of them. On two different occasions. Here's the menu text:
Shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese inside. Spicy crabmeat and tobiko on top.
I can't offer a reason why this one is so delicious, but it must have something to do with the perfect alignment of flavor and texture. Still fancier than true maki, but a treat nonetheless.
This is either the Magic Maki or some fourth-grader's science fair project. I'm going with the Magic Maki:
Shrimp tempura, crabmeat, eel, cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado
Oh! One of my absolute favorites! Spartan, but nearly perfect in its simplicity. I give you, the spicy shrimp roll (spicy minced shrimp with asparagus)
Our nigiri sushi lineup: Yellowtail, Red Snapper, Tako, Eel, and Tobiko.
Add this under the "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" column: tobiko sushi. Delicious, but one is enough for a single visit.
Four Seaweed salad, three soy burger dinner, two tofu dog platter and one pasta with meatless balls!
It tastes the same. If you close your eyes.
I have to admit, this picture, now that I'm looking at it in my browser window, gives the seaweed a decidedly more yellow tint that it actually was: a bright, vibrant emerald green. The flavor echoed that brightness: crisp, fresh, a little spicy from red pepper flake, and nutty from sesame oil. You can order as many seaweed salads with your meal as you want (remember, it's AYCE!), so give it a try! And you don't even have to put up with snotty waiters who don't like alternative-lifestyle bohemians!
My arch-nemesis, the Spider Roll! Will I ever get past the idea of eating an entire crab, soft-shell and all, and just learn to enjoy the damn sushi already? Tune in next week, same fat time, same fat channel!
It is interesting to note that Kyoto has remodeled since our visit in 2009, resulting in a much, much more chic and open feel. The lighting fixtures scream Downtown, but the acoustic tile ceiling still sheepishly mutters, "strip mall in Greenfield, ho hum." No worries. The sushi was still a massive value, and for the amazing total of $55 for two people (and that also included two sodas), we consumed about $125 (market) worth of sushi. Which will always tip the scales in these days of fighting my cat for his own food and stealing ketchup packets from McDonalds to make spaghetti because I can't afford Chef Boyardee.
In short, Kyoto is still flippin' sweet.

Christie's to auction portrait of Malala by Yeo
A portrait of a Pakistani teenager shot by the Taliban for championing education for girls will be auctioned next month.
The oil painting by Jonathan Yeo shows Malala Yousafzai doing her homework.
It is being donated by the artist to benefit the Malala Fund, which campaigns for girls' education.
Christie's New York is offering the portrait on May 14. It's expected to bring $60,000 to $80,000.
It was painted months after the then-15-year-old Malala was shot as she traveled to school in 2012.
President Barack Obama called Malala the "bravest girl in the world."
She now lives in England.
Yeo is a portrait painter. His works are in the Royal Collection and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among others.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Reasons iOS 6 Users Shouldn't Upgrade to iOS 7
Millions of users have taken the plunge to upgrade their devices to the new iOS 7.0. However, many of them are still comfortable with the older iOS 5 or iOS 6; and not willing to perform an upgrade themselves. Not everyone is keen to jump on the iOS 7.0 bandwagon and users may need to know a bit more about Apple's new software version before making the change. Here are ten reasons why they shouldn't perform an upgrade, at least for now:
- iOS 6.0 still works fine: Apple habitually places pressures on users to get them to think that the newest iOS version is mandatory and time is of the essence. The older iOS 6.0 may not be equipped with enhanced Siri, Control Center or redesigned interface; but it is still a stable platform with much of the kinks worked out. It is still adequate for users who what to stay productive and get the job done. Those who don't want to mess with a new platform and relearn the interface may need to stay with the iOS 6.0
- iOS 7.0 may affect productivity: Corporate users tend to loathe changes and that's more likely to happen when a new iOS version rears it ugly head. IT decision makers need to go through a complex process before deploying a new company-wide operating system. They need to work for an inordinate amount of time to see whether the new platform will improve or hurt productivity. Windows Vista caused turmoil in business world, but when Windows 7 hit the stores, corporate users were happy to upgrade their archaic Windows XP platforms. The same may hold true with the iOS 7.0. Apple's new mobile platform is a significant enhancement that doesn't look like its predecessor. Some simple tasks such as closing open apps require a different gesture. It may also take some time before iOS 6.0 users know how to get more out of the new notification center. Finally, the iOS 7.0 brings corporate users a significant productivity challenge and companies will be well advised to make careful analysis before requiring employees to get their hands on the new OS.
- Developers still need to catch up: So far, not many developers have delivers apps optimized for the new iOS 7.0. But this doesn't necessarily mean that our favorite games and multimedia players won't work. Realizing this, users may need to before downloading iOS 7.0. To get full benefit for the new operating system version, users should wait that most apps are already updated to gain the best possible experience.
- The "wait for updates" rule still applies: There's an old rule in the computing world that users shouldn't deploy a new OS version until the developers has rolled out the software updates. A major software version, like the iOS 7.0, typically brings a bit of oddities and issues that must be ironed out. Some users have reported lower performance level after they performed an update and some new lockscreen glitches have also been discovered. It's better to stay with the iOS 6.0 than updating to a potentially buggy platform.
- You use a jailbroken device: Many iPhone users jailbroke their devices and currently enjoy the ability to install third party apps. If this is the case, they should hold off on upgrading to the new platform. Those broadminded people behind the iOS jailbreaking community are surely working feverishly to provide root access on iOS 7.0 devices. But until they can deliver a reliable solution, it's better to wait for awhile. Also, those who wish to continue using Cydia or any kind of mods, should also watch and see.
- Your iPhone is old: Unfortunately, the iOS 7.0 is only available for newer iPhone models, starting from the iPhone 4. So, users with iPhone 3GS or earlier need to settle with iOS 6.0 or older. Don't fret, many apps still fully support the iOS 6, even after developers update them to better support the iOS 7.0. Like any device manufacturer, Apple also pushes forward with its iOS devices and stops supporting older models to focus on providing better service on newer technology. It won't make sense for the company to spend money on products that barely or don't bring any income.
- Not everyone loves the design: For many long-time iOS users, it looks like Apple takes a finely polished UI and replaces it with something as simplistic as kindergarten kids' paper cut-outs. Unlike iOS and Android, Microsoft introduces an innovative tile-based interface. Probably as a response, Apple chooses to emulate some features of the Windows RT. It might be better for Apple to stick with the general design of iOS 6.0 and adds support for dynamic widgets instead. Instead, Apple simplifies the icon design and even stole some ideas from the jailbreak community.
- You have poor Internet access: It is necessary to consider that the iOS 7.0 is about 1GB to download and there's no way to download it from mobile data service. People with poor non-mobile Internet access may find themselves in a little predicament. In this case, users may need to wait for awhile until they hit a high-speed, public Wi-Fi hotspot.
- You are uncomfortable with changes: The iOS 7.0 probably offers the most dramatic changes compared to other major iOS versions. This can be a bit disconcerting for some users, especially for those who already know all the nooks and crannies of the iOS 6.0. Not everyone is motivated enough to learn about those "exciting" hidden, new features.
- You are expecting too much: Some users believe that by installing the new iOS 7.0, they will be welcomed with a completely new world that addresses all their issues and answers all their dreams. In essence, some new features of iOS 7.0 are already available on Android for years. While consumers can use AirDrop for easier file transfer, there's no standardized technology like the NFC support. There's also no support for multiple users or software modifications that people really like to do in Android.
Simply put, Apple's new iOS 7.0 is a significantly different platform with new improvements. But, people with basic requirements and specific technical limitations may need to consider whether they should perform an upgrade.

PENDLE is set to become the first borough in Lancashire to install free WiFi in its town centres.
Council bosses said the move would further secure the future of its high streets and would benefit shopkeepers, shoppers and on-the-move workers.
WiFi will be introduced in Barnoldswick, and then Colne, as two pilot areas, before hopefully being rolled out to other towns such as Nelson, Barrowford and Earby.
Coun Paul White, portfolio holder for growth and town centres, said: "This will be fantastic for supporting our high streets.
"We won't just be building something that gives people free internet access across our towns, but it will also give businesses the chance to bring in the customers too through its landing page.
"When somebody logs on they will go to a landing page which will display things like offers of the week for different shops.
"It will help people shopping in town search for things they are after and is also good for people working on-the-move, which a lot of people do these days.
"It was something council leader Joe Cooney was very keen on."
Earlier this week Kendal announced plans to become the first town in the north, and only the fourth in England, to offer free town centre WiFi. Pendle Council's executive committee has set aside £100,000 to look into the scheme.
It will require installation of WiFi antennas in certain areas to provide the signal.
Coun White said: "In an ideal world we would have it up-and-running for Christmas.
"We have chosen Barnoldswick and Colne to pilot it because they are our best performing town centres, and because Barnoldswick town centre is in a square formation, and Colne is linear."
Coun Joe Cooney said: "This was something Lyle Davy, one of our new councillors asked us to look at, and we looked and thought what a great idea."

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Thanks for the quick reply. My explanation wasn't very clear; it doesn't agitate during any cycle. And it seems sort of hit or miss whether or not it sill spin at the end of the rinse cycle. It does seem to always spin at the end of the wash cycle. But I don't think that changes your diagnosis and now I have to decide if it's worth it to spend $150 on a 10+ year old washer. Are you fairly confident this is the problem (I.e. are there any other less likely problems that could cause these symptoms), and is swapping out the timer module something a guy with only a moderate amount of experience tinkering with appliances can tackle?
On a related question (If I'm not allowed followup questions I understand), when I first discovered the problem I was presented with a washer completely full of water. Further experimenting led me to the fact that it works sometimes. My question is this: Is there some form of "magic" that will force the washer to drain or would I have been forced to resort to siphoning off the water

Now Viewing:
Stages and traditional drum risers can, if incorrectly constructed, vibrate sympathetically (resonate) with drums and/or the PA system. This resonance in turn feeds back into the drums and is then picked up by the microphones. The Auralex HoverDeck HD-88Concert is specifically engineered to reduce coloration from floor resonance by de-coupling the drum kit from its support structure, resulting in a tighter, more pure sound for both studio and FOH.
A rugged MDF laminate core and web-like ISO-Puck modular risers minimize these structure-borne sound transmission and sympathetic vibrations between drums and hardware, getting rid of muddy rumble or the fact that concrete floors can suck the tone out of the kick drum and floor tom. The HoverDeck HD-88Concert, configured for larger drum kits and touring applications, utilizes a set of low-profile isolating boards that assemble quickly via strategically placed hook and loop fasteners.
Two rugged road cases are included.

Start and Step Timing Control
If you run locked-out timing on your street/strip car and the engine cranks slowly due to advanced timing or high compression, the new MSD Start and Step Retard Control is what you need!

In Stock
This digitally controlled accessory allows you to select a 5°, 10°, 15° or 20° of retard while the engine is cranking. By pulling the timing back during cranking the pressure being applied to the starter, flywheel and the rotating assembly of the engine is lessened so the engine will start easier. Once the engine starts or when the key is released the timing returns to the set mechanical amount. The Start and Step also features a single stage of retard making it ideal for nitrous engines. This retard can easily be activated when the nitrous is turned on, or add a switch for a high speed retard. You can simply dial in 1°-15° with the rotary dial for quick adjustments. The Start and Step will easily connect to magnetic pickups and has a points input as well, plus it can work on 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines.
- Compatible with 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines
- Accepts points, amplifiers and mag pickup trigger signals

Management information systems in social safety net programs : a look at accountability and control mechanisms
This paper is intended to provide task managers and World Bank Group clients working on Social Safety Net (SSN) programs with practical and systematic ways to use information management practices to mitigate risks by strengthening control and accountability mechanisms. It lays out practices and options to consider in the design and implementation of the Management Information System (MIS), and how to evaluate and mitigate operational risks originating from running a MIS. The findings of the paper are based on the review of several Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs in the Latin American Region and various World Bank publications on CCTs. The paper presents a framework for the implementation of MIS and cross-cutting information management systems that is based on industry standards and information management practices. This framework can be applied both to programs that make use of information and communications technology (ICT) and programs that are paper based. It includes examples of MIS practices that can strengthen control and accountability mechanisms of SSN programs, and presents a roadmap for the design and implementation of an MIS in these programs. The application of the framework is illustrated through case studies from three fictitious countries. The paper concludes with some considerations and recommendations for task managers and government officials in charge of implementing CCTs and other safety nets program, and with a checklist for the implementation and monitoring of MIS.

Washington • An increase in shopping last month during the partial government shutdown suggests that the U.S. economy may be more resilient than some have feared.
Retail sales increased 0.4 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, after being flat the previous month. That jump shows that many consumers remain willing to spend as the all-important holiday shopping season nears.
At the same time, other data released Wednesday point to an economy that's still struggling to reach full health.

PHIL Hughes is poised to make his first appearance for Worcestershire when Middlesex visit New Road for a Clydesdale Bank 40 clash tomorrow (1.45pm).
The Australian opening batsman jetted into England on Thursday, trained for the first time with Steve Rhodes' squad yesterday and has been included in the 13-man squad to face Middlesex.
County director of cricket Rhodes believes the fact Hughes is eager to prove a point to the Australian Test selectors after he was dropped from the national team last year will be of great benefit to Worcestershire.
Rhodes said: "Phil arrived on Thursday morning, trained with us for the first time yesterday and is keen to get started as soon as possible. I feel Worcestershire are in a good position by having signed Phil as he has a massive point to prove and it is always nice to be able to pick guys like that. He is desperate to do well and will try and score as many runs as possible for us.
"Zaheer Khan was at a real crossroads in his career when he joined us and he looked destined for the scrapheap, but he worked very hard, bowled lots of overs, and turned his career around to get back into the Indian team."
Middlesex are third in the CB40 Group 'A' table after two wins from three matches and Rhodes is expecting a tough challenge.
However, Worcestershire are only two points behind having bounced back from a heavy opening defeat to the Netherlands at Kidderminster with victory over Essex at Chelmsford.
He said: "I believe Middlesex to not only be a very stong four-day team, but also in one-day cricket.
"That said, we have to tick all of our own boxes regarding our own game-plan — like we did in the win over Essex — and let them worry about us."
Alan Richardson, who had a cortisone injection in his ankle this week, and Richard Jones are out of Rhodes' one-day plans at the moment, while James Cameron, who also had an injection, is rested.
Rhodes said: "James had an injection in his knee and will not be playing against Middlesex, but should be fine for next week's LV= County Championship Division One game with Somerset.
"Daryl Mitchell also had an injection in his elbow, but he is fine to play tomorrow."

Lobster Grilled Cheese
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by Mrs.Jack
This unique recipe, created by chef Billy Grant, was named one of the top sandwiches in America by Esquire magazine. Billy suggests serving it with onion rings, local corn, and a green salad. This also makes a great appetizer, just cut into 1" squares and secure w/ a party-pick. If you need to substitute the cheese, I would consider fontina or anything you like that isn't too sharp. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 slices of country white bread, thickly sliced
- 4 ounces chunked fresh lobster meat
- 2 slices havarti cheese (I like the dill-havarti)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, to butter both sides of the bread
Directions See How It's Made
- Butter both sides of each bread slice and place cheese-lobster-cheese on bread and make a sandwich.
- Toast the sandwich (on the buttered side) until golden brown on both sides.
- Place in a 400°F oven for a few minutes until cheese melts.
- Allow to cool a minute, then enjoy!
- *All the meat from a 1 1/4-pound lobster—ask your local fish market to steam the lobster and remove the meat for you! If fresh lobster is not available, you can substitute high-quality frozen lobster.

Until recently, Washington had a hard time convincing other countries that Iran was developing nuclear weapons in violation of its commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. But earlier this year, America's case was strengthened by the discovery that Tehran had secretly developed the capacity to enrich naturally found uranium into nuclear bomb fuel. As far as outsiders can tell, Iran's nuclear program is not nearly as advanced as North Korea's. But a concerted international effort is urgently needed to keep it from progressing further.
The Bush administration's response has so far been sensible. It is encouraging the International Atomic Energy Agency to press Iran for more details and more intrusive inspections. And it has intensified its efforts to persuade Russia to stop selling nuclear reactors and technology to Iran. Tehran's secret enrichment activities belie Russian assurances that this nuclear deal will not increase proliferation risks.
In February, a tip led the atomic energy agency to the nearly finished enrichment plant. Iran, a major oil producer, implausibly claims that the site is part of a civilian nuclear energy program. It also says no uranium has yet been enriched there. There is no way the I.A.E.A. can verify these claims unless Iran accepts inspection arrangements it has long resisted. As things stand now, international inspectors can look only where Iran invites them. The new procedures would let them go wherever they reasonably suspect nuclear weapons activity might be taking place. Until Tehran joins the more than 65 countries that have signed up for these procedures, no other nation should accept its protestations of innocence.
Even intrusive inspections cannot keep a determined nation from playing games of hide-and-seek with the atomic energy agency. Inspections must be backed up by strict policies limiting the export of nuclear material and technologies. Russia, in particular, needs to pull back from its unwise nuclear cooperation deal with Iran. The civilian reactor being built with Russian help at Bushehr could go into operation later this year.
Washington reasonably fears that plutonium produced by this reactor could be diverted to a secret weapons program, even though Moscow expects the spent fuel to be returned to Russia. It also worries, rightly, about the nuclear weapons skills Iranian scientists may pick up from their Russian counterparts. If Moscow is unwilling to cancel the deal outright, it should at least freeze it until Iran accepts strengthened I.A.E.A. inspections.Continue reading the main story

|Official Title:
|Pharmacokinetics and Placental Transfer of Ondansetron and Cefazolin: A Preliminary Analysis
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) results for Cefazolin and Ondansetron in maternal blood specimens [ Time Frame: 10 hours ]Plasma concentrations will be reported in mg/L. Plasma concentration will then be analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (nonmem) software to determine volume of distribution in L and clearance in L/minute.
- Identification of placental transfer of studied meds (Cefazolin and Ondansetron) [ Time Frame: 1 hr ]
By measuring the PK of the studied drugs in the umbilical cord sample we hope to gain information regarding placental transfer.
Plasma concentrations will be reported in mg/L. Plasma concentration will then be analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (nonmem) software to determine volume of distribution in L and clearance in L/minute.

|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Ondansetron/Cefazolin treatment
Pregnant women undergoing uncomplicated cesarean section deliveries who have consented to participate, and will receive Ondansetron and Cefazolin in the course of their clinical care will have PK blood samples drawn.
Procedure: Phlebotomy
Blood samples will be drawn from the mother, umbilical vein and artery post delivery, and neonate with other clinical labs.
Detailed Description:
There is very little data on drug metabolism during pregnancy, and how it may differ from the non-pregnant woman. There is even less data on placental transfer of drug to the neonate when medications are given prior to delivery. This study proposes to look at the pharmacokinetics of two drugs (Cefazolin and ondansetron) given routinely to pregnant women who are planning to deliver via cesarean section. The investigators will evaluate the metabolism of both drugs by the pregnant woman, the placental transfer over time, and the subsequent metabolism of the transferred drug in the neonate.
The investigators hope to learn 1) the pk profile of both drugs in pregnancy, and how it differs from the non-pregnant woman, 2) the placental transfer of both drugs, and 3) the profile of neonatal metabolism of the drug that crosses the placental barrier.

West Allegheny School District scraps landfill tax over legal questions
West Allegheny School District no longer intends to adopt a $3-a-ton tax on the use of landfills because of concerns about whether it would be legal.
The school district ran a legal ad in the Tribune-Review in June announcing its intent to authorize a tax "on the transaction of depositing waste at and usage of landfills" within the district.
Edward Faux, vice president of the school board, said district solicitor Bill Andrews explained the board did not have the legal authority to tax landfills.
West Allegheny originally decided to tax landfill usage when it learned Elizabeth Forward School District had a similar tax, he said.
"We thought we should pass a similar resolution if (Elizabeth Forward) thought they knew something we didn't," Faux said.
The Elizabeth Forward school board voted 5-3 to adopt the resolution on April 23. In May, the board chose to balance the district's 2014-15 budget without it.
Since then, some have voiced concerns about the legality of the resolution.
Waste Management has asked the board to repeal its resolution, which would require the Kelly Run Landfill to pay an increased tax to the board, said spokeswoman Erika Deyarmin.
"We are trying to come to an agreement about it," she said. Deyarmin declined to comment further about Waste Management's discussion with the school board.
Patricia McGrail, solicitor for the district, said officials hope to discuss the resolution with the Kelly Run Landfill to determine the amount of business it transacts.
Pennsylvania's Act 101 of 1988 regulates solid waste management and recycling statewide, said Mark Pedersen, president of the Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association, an organization representing landfill operators.
The act preempts the Pennsylvania Local Tax Enabling Act, which Pedersen said Elizabeth Forward reportedly used as authority for the tax increase.
"Thus, the action taken by them was not a legal action, and I believe they are looking into this situation," he said.
A similar sentiment is echoed in a state Department of Community and Economic Development taxation manual.
"(Act 101) preempts and supersedes any tax on landfills or resource recovery facilities above the rate in effect on Dec. 31, 1987," the manual says. "No new landfill privilege taxes may be enacted."
Some members of the association are in contact with the district about the tax. Pedersen declined to provide their names.

That's A Lot Of Look: Katy Perry Is So '90s It Hurts
This is the ensemble Katy Perry wore to "Good Morning America" this morning, to promote her impending album, Prism (I know it's called Prism because there are literally 5,000 spray-painted advertisements for it on every street corner in Manhattan). She wore a dress featuring the Ubiquitous '90s Daisy Print — you know, the one worn by Blossom and Kimmy Gibler, and practically every other '90s sitcom teenager. To be honest, it's giving me a little bit of '90s PTSD. I remember owning a floppy "Blossom"-esque hat with that print, which I paired with a babydoll dress and my faux Docs (hey, real Dr. Martens are expensive). But even if I could get past the daisies, I cannot co-sign on the knee-high black socks thing. That was never cool. [Photo: INFDaily.com]
