It is the year 285 B.C. Sparta is in terminal decline. It would continue to be so until its annexation by the Achaean League and the Roman Republic. But what if:
1.) The Achaean League was created a lot earlier.
2.)A young man was born in Rome in, raised in Sparta, took the throne, and led Sparta to its former glory. This TL is a mixture of a little drama and lots of war.
Sparta- 285 B.C.
King Archidamus IV, king of Sparta, lost to Macedon in 295 B.C. Since then, he has had nightmares of his dead soldiers screaming in the fields of Hades. But his nightmare on March 8, 285 B.C. shook him the most. His dream was that his dead soldiers building a mechanical porcupine being smashed by a turtle. His soldiers then built another one, but this time made of scales and quills that enveloped its whole body. It then eventually defeated the turtle. The King then interpreted his dream as a threat that, like the porcupine, Sparta must modernize, or be smashed by the turtle, which he perceived as a great power. His modernization barely even started when on April 6, 285 B.C. he was murdered by nobles and Eudamidas II ascended to the throne. He was very opposed to modernization and Sparta became an even more conservative state under him and Sparta started to hate him, having given a taste of reform by Archidamus.
Alexander Laconius the Mercenary
Alexander, 19 years old, wasn't always The Travelling Mercenary. He was born in the Northern part of the Roman Republic on August 20, 276 B.C. His father, Tryatus, had been an accomplished phalanx commander in the service of Pyrrhus. He escaped from prison and traveled to Northern Italy. He then met Alex' mother, Augusta, a seamstress. But then one day, a group of Etcrusans raided and killed Alexander's parents. From then on, he followed his father's words and journeyed to Sparta, although he was only nind years of age. He became a trader, robber, slave, cook, and farmboy before finally getting to Aetolia and serving as a mercenary under the local governor, Darmus. Alexander proved to be a very adept and talented commander. Commanding 2500 loyal mercenaries and regulars, he defended Aetolia against Macedon. He was like Alexander the Great, a comrade and brother to his troops, promoting a sense of espirit de corps to his men. He also made some improvements in his practically personal army, including making their shields large and diamond- shaped and tilted at an angle. They were also issued two javelins, a shorter spear, shorter than even hoplite spears, and had a small sword for stabbing and slashing, and a knife. The armor was made with overlapping scales. They operated like Roman legions and could perform a testudo with spears. However, in a war against Achaean League, Alexander was outflanked and with only 2400 men left, specifically 1000 adamantoi heavy infantry, 500 oktagonoi light infantry, 450 cavalry, 300 Cretan archers, and 150 Rhodian Slingers. He fought a determined fighting withdrawal to the coast and was evacuated with 42 ships, 20 of them transports. He harassed the coast of Achaea, living like pirate for 25 days until his fleet was damaged and he was forced to land in Sparta. When he landed in Sparta on June 28, 255 B.C., he was immediately brought before Eudamidas. He was able to receive a commission as a regular officer, based on Crete.
Alexander of Sparta
He stood there, unmoving, surveying the battlefield on his horse, with 4000 loyal Spartan men on his back, the core of it was his 2,500- man personal army. They were still young, at most around 20 years of age, same as he. His opponent, this time a Seleucid, Narchus of Syria, Antiochus' nephew. With him was an army of 6600 men arrayed in phalanx formation with cavalry on the wings. Alexander's army was arrayed in a new fashion. The first row was filed with Spartans arrayed in diamond turtle formation. At the back was his mercenaries, now Spartan citizens, arrayed in diamond turtle formation too. They were split in two at the back flanks of the Spartans. The cavalry was at the flanks. He himself was at the head of his army. His front line charged but stopped just before it reached the sarissas and turned to turtle formation. Half of the second line reinforced the first while the other one marched to behind the right flank cavalry. As the left flank charged, the infantry in the center became impatient and tired as missiles were pelted at them. They then charged without orders and ran into a wall of shields bristling with small spears. As the left flank Seleucid cavalry charged, The right flank Spartan cavalry opened up and the Seleucid cavalry crashed into wall of shields, bristling with spears. The right cavalry then charged to the back of the Seleucid infantry in the centre, relieving the hard-pressed native Spartans and sent the Seleucids running to the shores, they were harassed at every turn and deprived of supplies as the high-quality mercenary cavalry of the left flank mauled the Seleucids, plundered their camp, and captured enemy soldiers, which, after a deal, joined their army. The enemy ships were captured and only a few Seleucids went back to Syria. This happened for six more times which bolstered and enriched the army. He even reformed the infantry by training them to get hoplite spears and doing what is now an OTL Swiss Pikeman tactic. Phalanx on all sides with the addition of the diamond shields. As of October 20, 255 B.C., his army included:
- 2500 man Oktadamantoi Guard Corps, the infantry commanded by Alexander himself.
- 1000 man Hippekoi Guard Corps, the cavalry of Alexander.
- 1000 man Missile Guard Corps of Alexander
- 1000 Horse Archers Guard Corps of Alexander
- 500 Superheavy Guard, a special unit of Cavalry and Infantry with Medieval knight-like armor.
- 1500 man Argyraspides Spartan Infantry Corps. The only unit armed with sarissas and Celtic Shields.
- 500 man Ippikoi Spartan Corps. The Spartan Cavalry.
- 500 Cataphract Cavalry
- 800 Thessalian Cavalry
- 500 Cretan Archers
- 1500 Ptolemaic Phalangites, Alexander the Great-style.
- 1500 Seleucid Phalangites, less armor and longer spears
- 1000 picked Seleucid-Ptolemaic infantry in Diamond formation.
- 500 Rhodian Slingers
- 2000 Peltasts
- 1500 Roman deserters, part mercenaries, part stragglers. They are still armed as a Legion.
- 1200 Spartan Rebel Skirmishers
- 2000 African infantry
- 500 African light cavalry
- 40 elephants, both male and female
- 500 Gallic Axemen
- 500 Thracian light infantry
- 130 ships
Invasion of Anatolia
"What!?" Alexander asked, confused.
"The king ordered it." Heruben, a master tactician, adept politician and Alexanders' long time adviser and friend, answered.
"By the gods, he must be out of his mind. I will talk to him at once."
"Don't let your confusion cloud your judgment."
"He wants me to invade Asia in two and a half months time! Where am I supposed to get the supplies, weapons and most of all, ships?"
A messenger came in and told Alexander:
"The King wants to meet you."
Alexander sailed back to Sparta and was escorted to the palace two days later. Heruben accompanied him as they went to the king, Eudamidas. They were led to a table with maps and armies in it. Eudamidas told him,
"You see. Cyprus, Rhodes and most of the Egyptian holdings in Asia have fallen to Antiochus. I need you to capture at least the western part of Asia to give us a suitable buffer zone."
"How shall I do this, my king? I do not have the resources to fight a war outside of Sparta." Alexander asked, feeling a pain in his head because of the magnitude of his job.
"I shall give you the full weight of the Spartan navy and industrial power. I have also, for a considerable sum, re-hired Xanthippus, fresh from his victory at Tunis alongside the Carthaginians against Rome. He has brought with him supplies and a mercenary army. He shall join you in invading Asia. Ande he has given you a gift of 1200 Galatian infantry and 400 Cappadocian cavalry from Asia Minor." Eudamidas replied, gesturing to a man leaning against the wall.
'He must be good.' Alexander thought as the man walked in, looking at him with a face that showed hardened military experience. They shook hands then the king dismissed them. While walking, Xanthippus told Alexander,
"I have heard about your achievements. It would be an honor to fight alongside you."
"I have heard of your accomplishments in Africa. It would also be an honor working with you."

I'm thinking about growing my hair out. I'm either going to grow it medium long (like the first 2 pics) or extra long (like the second 2 pics), but as of right now i can't decide. I think medium long is the way to go if i wanna just leave it alone. But if i grow it extra long i can do things like ponytails, braids, and buns. But keep in mind that I'm going to grow a thick stubble along with my hair to keep myself from looking too feminine.
So i tried to find guys with hair types similar to my own. Also bear in mind that i am blonde, unlike these guys, so whatever you choose it has to look good on a blonde guy too :P
So do you ladies like any of these? If so, which length do you like better? (Vote in poll or comment)
PS: try not to let the looks of these guys bias your opinion. Try to focus on the hairstyle only, ok?
- Medium longVote A
- Extra longVote B
- NeitherVote C
Guys can not vote on this poll
Most Helpful Girl
I post pictures of the 3rd guy on here all the time! His hair is very similar to my boyfriend's (about the same length, same colour, same kind of waviness) and I think that it's lovely. It doesn't suit all guys, but I think it's great. I would recommend just going for medium long at first and if you think you look good with it, grow it out :)00|00|0
Yep, that was my original plan. I just wanted to hear what others think of the hairstyles.

text: Washington (ANI): Actress Jennifer Lopez has further fuelled pregnancy rumours that shes expecting twins by picking up matching pink and blue Tuni&G onesies during a shopping spree. The singer made the purchases at the Tuni&G onesies, and the items now have Hollywood watchers speculating if she really is expecting twins. However, the person who has remained mum on the topic is the singer herself, reports People. JLo, who is four months into her pregnancy, announced that she was expecting during a performance in Miami at the beginning of November. A few weeks later she was reported to have suffered a health scare, rumours that she has since denied. The baby or babies will see JLo becoming a mum for the first time but hubby Marc Anthony has enough of experience changing diapers. He already has two sons by former wife Dayannara Torres, and a daughter with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.

Over the last few years, Samsung has been launching its Galaxy Note range at IFA. The trend remains the same and the South Korean company will be launching its Galaxy Gear smartwatch in addition to the Galaxy Note 3. We're all geared up to see if the event will roll out any additional surprises.
Interested in watching the live stream as well? Excellent. You can watch it right here and be a part of the action. Below is the live stream link.
The Samsung Unpacked 2013 Episode 2 is being held ahead of the IFA conference in Berlin. It will kick off at Berlin, Germany on 4 September around 19:00 PM CEST/13:00 PM EDT/10:30 PM IST. If you're in New York, then you can catch the whole event on the big screen at Times Square.
Apart from the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear, we're also expecting Samsung to launch a few tablets.
It has now become a common practice for major technology companies to announce products ahead of IFA so as to jump ahead of the competition. Sony is holding a rival event on the same day a few hours earlier. In this event, we expect to see three products launched : Sony Xperia Z1 "Honami", Sony Xperia Z1 Mini "Itsuki" and even the Sony Lens camera.
On the other hand, Samsung is hinting at some serious innovation from its upcoming products after having rolled out a teaser video showing typical big-headed aliens working in its labs. It uses the tagline - "Secret of Samsung Technology caught on tape".

Manchester Design Symposium 2012
Design Initiative
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM (GMT)
Event Details
The Manchester Design Symposium brings the world of design to the city in a series of presentations from leading thinkers and practitioners.
This year's event will explore the complex relationship between design and the economy, bringing to question whether the UK's place at the top table of world design is under threat as emerging economies invest more in their 'knowledge economy' - and whether design and innovation has the potential to power the UK out of a recession.
Renowned graphic designer and writer, Adrian Shaughnessy is leading the six-speaker line up at this year's Manchester Design Symposium on March 21st 2012.
Famed for his best-selling book, How to Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing your Soul, Shaughnessy cofounded publishing company Unit Editions and has written numerous books on design. He also spent 15 years as creative director of design studio Intro which he also cofounded.
Shaughnessy will be joined by Morag Myerscough founder of Studio Myerscough and renowned for her work in the integration of graphics within architectural settings. Myerscough has produced many award-winning schemes including wayfinding and environmental graphics for Westminster Academy and the Kentish Town Health Centre, which won a RIBA award and was shortlisted for the World Architecture Festival and the Stirling Prize.
Dave Kirkwood will talk about the 3hundredand65 project, the first graphic novel to be crowd authored on Twitter. It has attracted over 230 volunteer writers and celebrity Tweeters, including Stephen Fry, and support from professional poets, writers, artists, bands, musicians, Professors, Olympians, and DJs across the UK.
Jason Smith founder of Fontsmith is also joining the line up. Fontsmith was established in 1999 and is responsible for the design and development of numerous high quality typefaces for the likes of Channel 4, the Post Office and UEFA.
Founder and director of publishing platform It's Nice That and agency INT Works, Will Hudson and designer Vera-Maria Glahn, cofounder of digital art and design studio Field, complete the speaker line up. Malcolm Garrett, renowned for his graphic design work for artists including Simple Minds and Duran Duran, will join all the speakers for the event's panel discussion.
The event will be chaired by Professor David Crow, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for internal communications and Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU).
The Symposium, led by the Design Initiative, was established in response to calls from the city to see and hear inspiring designers bringing challenging ideas into focus. Its purpose is to ensure that Manchester remains at the forefront of design debate and creativity.
As well as attracting world-class speakers from Britain and Europe, the event is open to design professionals, students and business people from a wide area including graphic and web design, typography, publishing, fashion, illustration and branding.

Sample Wishlist
Happy, Confident, Bold, Effortless
(Because this is a sample from an actual client, the items may no longer be available for purchase.)
Thanks to a very productive shopping excursion, my goal for this extended wish list (2 months worth of wish lists combined into one especially for you!) will focus on filling in the gaps in your wardrobe after our trip. Enjoy! Also, if you decide to purchase any items, please begin by clicking on this page as it may result in a commission for Poplin. Thank you!
Let the bold, bright colors shine! Orange is an option, too. Yes! You can wear these with your tank tops and a basic shoe. Then, rock a bold necklace like the green one you just purchased. Alternatively, try your yellow wedge heels, these pants and a plain white v-neck t-shirt and a denim jacket. For styling you want 2-3 pops of color balanced with neutrals. A yellow shirt and a neutral shoe. Or a neutral shirt and a bold handbag. These pants can also show off a fun belt which highlights your waist and is flattering for your figure. These are also available in black and navy as I know you are interested in a dark pair of pants. If you'd like something a little baggier, go with the boyfriend cords.
Highlight your waist, control your curves, go! This dress is so lovely for you because it is a canvas for all your bold accessories without being a neutral. I know it's a print. Don't be afraid. Pair it with orange, yellow, red or green shoes and another colored handbag. Or, wear a neutral shoe with a bright colored belt and/or scarf. In the fall and winter, pair it with your knee high brown boots and add a sweater over top. A cardigan, crew neck or V-neck work. Alternatively, you can wear your grey ankle boots and add a colorful cardigan or belt. Dress it up or down depending on your activity.
FYI- These also come in yellow:) We discussed wedges quite a bit and I think we both had open toed wedges in mind. However, once I started to ruminate on this one, I decided that a closed toe wedge would be easier for you to style all year long. You'll certainly see more open toed wedges as the sun comes out. This blue/purple is one of your power colors and can easily be paired with all the other colors we've been selecting for you. Try it with your new jeans and a bold handbag. Green is great! These would also be stunning with your new black vegan leather pants and a basic tee. Take if from Obama channeling Cesar Chavez- Yes you can!
And here they are, your summer peep toe wedges. This denim stripe is the supreme neutral shoe. Pair it with bright dresses, goes with any bold handbag. Easy. How about the red pants and a blue or yellow shirt? Yup. These are your solution. When you have multiple colors in your ensemble, these are a nice way to calm things down without being boring and predictable. After all, the flag can't be wrong. Red, white and blue. Indeed.
Belts! Belts! And more belts! The key to maximizing your hourglass figure is to highlight your waist. Colored belts are a great way to do this. They are also a nice way to bring another color to your outfit and a level of tailored sophistication to your look. Shop the fast fashion stores to maximize your dollar. H&M, Forever 21, Target will all give you lots of exciting belt options. This color is flattering for you and this width will easily fit through belt loops on pants, belts and jackets.
It's jersey. And, it comes in a raspberry color that is also spectacular on you. The waist is defined by the elastic, so you can easily rock it without a belt or if you are feeling especially motivated, add one on. An animal print would be fun or use one of your bold colored belts. Add a pair of knee high boots in the winter and a cozy sweater over top. Transition to spring with colored wedge heels or your grey ankle boots. Because you run warm, I think you'll get a great deal of use out of the sleeveless dresses and this one is long enough for you to sit on the floor with the kids. The fabric ensures you'll feel like you are in your pajamas, but look like you are stepping out on the town.

Why Britain Has to Be Really Nice to Norway and Russia
This article by Anna Shiryaevskaya and Kelly Gilblom for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:
This section continues in the Subscriber's Area.
Already buffeted by political chaos at home and abroad, the U.K. gas market must now operate without its biggest stabilizing force: the giant Rough gas storage facility under the North Sea.
The planned permanent shutdown of the Centrica Plc site, able to meet 10 percent of peak demand in winter, means Britain is becoming even more reliant on imports of liquefied natural gas or pipeline fuel from Russia and Norway. That sets up the possibility that traders would have to outbid Japan, the world's biggest LNG buyer, and others to keep millions of homes warm.
Political uncertainty is making the supply game even riskier, with rules for international gas pipelines clouded in mystery as the U.K. negotiates an exit from the European Union.
And the diplomatic crisis this month involving Qatar, the nation's largest LNG supplier, caused gas prices in Britain to jump the most since January as two tankers were diverted.
"It takes two weeks for a cargo of LNG to arrive from Qatar, which is not a politically stable place right now," Graham Freedman, principal analyst for European gas and power at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. in London, said by phone."That does raise the political implications quite a lot, along with Brexit. So it's a perfect storm in terms of security of supply for the U.K."
Last winter as much as 94 percent of the country's gas came from sources other than storage. More than half of that was imports, mainly through pipelines from Norway. Statoil ASA, Norway's state-owned producer, has repeatedly said it doesn't plan to significantly boost exports, but can divert more fuel to Britain if needed.

Role of the beta subunit of casein kinase-2 on the stability and specificity of the recombinant reconstituted holoenzyme
- Authors:
- Abstract:
- Recombinant human alpha subunit from casein kinase-2 (CK-2) was subjected, either alone or in combination with recombinant human beta subunit, to high temperature, tryptic digestion and urea treatment. In all three cases, it was shown that the presence of the beta subunit could drastically reduce the loss of kinase activity, strongly suggesting a protective function for the beta subunit. Assaying different peptides for specificity toward the recombinant alpha subunit and the recombinant reconstituted enzyme, showed that the presence of the beta subunit could modify the specificity of the catalytic alpha subunit. Therefore, a dual function for the beta subunit is proposed which confers both specificity and stability to the catalytic alpha subunit within the CK-2 holoenzyme complex. The peptide DLEPDEELEDNPNQSDL, reproducing the highly acidic amino acid 55-71 segment of the human beta subunit, counteracts the stimulatory effect of the beta subunit on the alpha subunit activity and partially substitutes the beta subunit in conferring thermal stability to the alpha subunit. No such effect is induced by the peptide MSSSEEVSW, reproducing the N-terminal segment of the beta subunit including the autophosphorylation site. It is suggested that the acidic domain of the beta subunit, encompassing residues 55-71, plays a role in the interactions between the beta and alpha subunits.

Company will develop five prime sites; other six sold to third party.
SCOTLAND -- Somerfield plc acquired 11 forecourt convenience stores in Scotland for £2.6 million from the receiver of Osprey Forecourts Ltd.
Somerfield will retain and develop five prime sites, which are currently closed, in Abercraig, Newport-on-Tay; Hawthorn Street, Glasgow; New Scone, Perth; Carnoustie and Northern Lights, Aberdeen. The six remaining sites have been sold as part of the deal for development by a third party.
David Cheyne, head of Somerfield`s convenience business unit, said, "These forecourts are in great locations. We now aim to make the investment they deserve and apply our strengths in convenience retailing and store management to provide a valuable service to local customers. We are determined to build on the successful acquisition of Aberness and to strengthen our offer in Scotland."
In other European c-store news, the UK's Cooperative Group has bought 64 convenience stores in the southwest of England from Conveco in a deal thought to be worth around £25m ($43.9 million U.S.).

Moeke Yarns are unlike any other. Ioana and her brother started their yarn company as a way to honor their grandmother and in turn, preserve a Romanian tradition and support local sheep farmers. The yarn is undyed, washed only with water, and spun by a traditional spinning machine. Stela, named after the makers' mother, is the result of mixing two Romanian sheep breeds, from the fleece of both adults and lambs. The result is a beautiful, rustic light grey yarn. Because the wool is washed only with water, Stela retains the wool's natural lanolin and is suitable for durable garments that keep you dry - slippers, socks, or gloves are just a few ideas. Recommended needle size is US 6-8 (4 - 5mm).

Waiting for trains: Adelaide commuters live in hope
The news that global financial unrest will see some infrastructure projects delayed or shelved in South Australia is unlikely to please commuters who use Adelaide's ageing rail system.
While it is not yet clear if there will be any impact on plans to modernise and electrify the rail fleet, it is clear to commuters in both Adelaide's north and the south that the status quo is inadequate.
Opposition MP Duncan McFetridge says the trains need upgrading urgently.
"We've got the oldest diesel fleet in Australia. We've got trains that you can't see out the windows and then when you do get on the train you've had seats taken out so you have to stand," he said.
Commuter Peter Amey lives at Freeling and catches the Gawler train to the city each day.
He says it runs late almost every morning.
"Probably five minutes late but more likely to be like eight to 10 minutes late and that's nearly every journey," he said.
In 2005, Transadelaide predicted that the Gawler line would reach its maximum capacity this year, with the other Adelaide lines not far behind.
Mr McFetridge says the Government should have done more to avert problems.
"The Government was given information years ago about the predictions for congestion and when we'd be at capacity," he said.
"We've reached capacity, we're over capacity.
"The Government's answer is to pull the seats out but you've still got thousands of commuters having to squash into trains every day. It's just not good enough."
Standing room only
As a rail traveller, Mr Amey sees the problems daily.
"Last night I caught a train which wasn't peak hour and it was only two carriages and it was all the way to Gawler central and when we left it was 50 people standing in the carriage, just in our carriage, so there was probably 50 people in the other carriage as well and it was standing room only basically to Smithfield."
Mr Amey says safety is also a problem.
"I've had a rock thrown at a window that I was sitting next to and the window shattered and I got covered in glass dust," he said.
"I think generally because the customer service assistants aren't allowed to move through the train any more, I think that's led to a lot of anti-social behaviour and there's a lot of swearing and drinking of alcohol and things like that go on that didn't occur before."
In the south, Aldinga resident and Onkaparinga councillor Yvonne Wenham is also well aware of the transport problems.
"I'd been listening to comments from people in the community and people saying 'You don't know what it's like to live like this' so I thought 'Hmm, I'll put it to the test, see what it's like'," she said.
"And around that same time the State Government came out with some statements saying that the southern areas were adequately serviced with public transport so I thought 'Hmm that's a bit at odds with what the community's saying."
Ms Wenham and her family left their car in the garage and caught public transport for two weeks.
She says life for those reliant on Adelaide public transport is a lot harder than she imagined.
"I was challenged in ways that I didn't think I'd be challenged and challenged in a way that challenged me as a person, challenged our family and our dynamics," she said.
"Our ability to connect with other people, socialise and interact. We became socially isolated. We couldn't connect with family and friends. Our kids couldn't play sport, our whole lifestyle was completely altered."
Oaklands problems
Earlier this year, the Oaklands interchange opened in Adelaide's southern suburbs.
Independent MP Kris Hanna says it has been plagued with problems.
"I've had a number of phone calls to the office, especially during the winters here, but people are increasingly frustrated so I'm still bumping into people all the time who are saying 'Why haven't we got timetables yet? Why isn't there anything that announces when the next train is at Oaklands station, because it's a major station, it's a new station, people expect more than that," he said.
Mr Hanna says the station's toilets and ticket office seldom open, there is too little car parking, there are no bike racks, no timetables and there is little protection from the wind.
"I've raised these issues in parliament so the minister is very well aware of them," he said.
"Frankly I don't know how he can go on claiming that they've got a great railway station when it has all these things wrong with it."
Waiting for access
Others wish they had access to the Adelaide rail network, problems or not.
The Seaford District Residents' Association has gathered more than 7,000 signatures on a petition calling for the Noarlunga line to be extended to Seaford by 2013 and to Aldinga by 2018.
Ron Jenkins, from the Association, says it needs to happen.
"The response at this stage is they will not extend, duplicate the [Southern] Expressway until Main South Road and Commercial Road are just about bumper to bumper on a full-time basis," he said.
"That is no good these days with the environment [concerns]. We want to get so many cars off the road and the railway line would be one way of doing that and getting people to and from work."
The SA Government plans to upgrade and electrify the Noarlunga line by 2014.
It has also committed about $34 million to buying land for a rail corridor to Aldinga, but has issued no timeframe on when a line would be built.
Mr Jenkins says the south is growing rapidly and the Federal Government's promise of bigger first home buyers' grants are likely to boost the south's population even further.
"We're getting 1,000 houses a year built down here. If we look at the average of 2.4 [people] per house, it's around about 25,000 people moving into the area every year," he said.
"Commercial Road and South Road are starting to get fairly clogged with traffic."
Treasurer Kevin Foley has foreshadowed the need to put some infrastructure projects on hold, but the Opposition insists that public transport must remain a funding priority.
"The Aussie dollar's dropping so rolling stock will become more expensive unless we actually build it here which I think is possible," Mr McFetridge said.
"We can build submarines and air warfare destroyers, why can't we build trams and trains?"
But the global financial uncertainty might have an upside for South Australia.
With the Federal Government reaching into its surplus in a bid to stimulate the economy, those wanting rail extensions and improvements could yet get what they want.

Far right make gains in European elections
Far right parties made gains across Europe in the elections for the European Parliament as voters expressed their anger against the EU.
In France, Marine Le Pen's Front National topped the poll with 25 per cent of the vote.
Ms Le Pen described the result as support for "France for the French",
In Greece, the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party took around 10 per cent of the vote, securing third place overall, and look likely to elect at least two of the country's 21 MEP's.
The anti-immigrant Danish People's Party won nearly 27 per cent of the vote, doubling its number of MEPs from two to four.
In Austria the far-right Freedom party looked set to take around 20 per cent of the vote. In Hungary, the neo-fascist Jobbik movement took around 15 per cent.
In Britain Ukip was on course to win 28 per cent of the national poll, with Labour gaining around 26 per cent, and the Tories 24 per cent. In a disastrous result, the Liberal Democrats polled under seven per cent, losing all but one of its 11 MEPs, placing the party fifth behind the Greens.
Turnout was just over 34 per cent.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage said voters had "delivered about the most extraordinary result that has been seen in British politics for 100 years".
It was a bad night for British National Party leader Nick Griffin who was ousted as an MEP for the north-west of England.
The BNP polled only 1.87 per cent of the vote in the region.
Scuffles broke out as Mr Griffin arrived at Manchester Town Hall for the count, with protesters directing chants of "Nazi scum" at him.
Mr Griffin said BNP supporters had been attracted to Ukip by its anti-immigration policies, but that they would be "disappointed when they find out what Ukip really stands for and that a huge vote is going to come back to us".

America's Veterans & The American Workforce:
A resource guide to recruiting, engaging and onboarding our returning heroes
Recruiting & Retaining People with Disabilities
Why the Federal Government Can't Recruit and Retain Hispanic-Americans
Six Degrees: How many applicants at your present employer do you estimate are hired from your corporate website as compared to how many are hired through referrals?
John: As the industry average is estimated at about 34% on employee referrals I would say our firm is not too far off that mark with search, our corporate website, or talent brew landing pages as having been the most effective in attracting top talent to TMP Government in the last 24 months both here domestically and for offices around the globe.
Six Degrees: What is the source of the "Most Hires" collected from at your present employer? (In terms of Quantity #)
John: The most hires over a six week period collected I believe was an intelligence agency that contracted with us to hold a career fair. Driving the effort was due in part the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC ) – which meant the agency needed to get butts in seats fast. There was certainly a top down approach to a surge hiring so with a few weeks of media and about two floors at a local hotel over a 5 day period a diversity career fair was to be held. Utilizing an event registration micro-site that we built out for the customer in four weeks that enabled pre-screening of candidates for employment suitability we held an invitation-only career fair. The agency had hired about 796 full time employees the entire preceding year and in those five days this client had made 694 offers of employment contingent on candidates passing a security clearance. These were very specialized disciplines but ultimately it was a team effort and having program managers and agency leadership involved made all the difference.
Six Degrees: What is the source of your "LOWEST COST OF HIRES" – (least amount of invested resources for the easiest hires, regardless of quality) at your present employer?
John: Without question Search Engine Marketing has proven to be the most cost effective in my experience for clients that we serve, but employee referrals are equally important and so robust ERP's are the call of the day. Postings on facebook pages I think are a great way to leverage your existing ERP.
Six Degrees: What talent niche groups do you target and are these particular talent areas specialized under your review?
John: My focus into diversity outreach and college recruitment spans across a number of sectors such as technology, government, financial, engineering, and defense. As it relates to so many in the field that reside inside the beltway from a recruitment perspective; the market is a totally different animal than from my days on the west coast in Santa Barbara. The pace is faster, candidates more educated, higher salaries abound and shortages of talent in mission critical fields are way of life. There tends to be less emphasis on entry level hiring in and around the DC corridor but more work for seasonal and project based assignments. It is as if everyone here is always looking for that next gig, and no real sense of loyalty to an agency as many government workers can bounce between agencies to get higher paying jobs at higher pay schedules. As for many private sector workers are employed based on the viability of multi-year contracts that too means that prime federal contractor may hire and fire hundreds at a time. Dependent upon whether the company holds or loses any given government agency contract plays a big part in the psyche. Therefore even in the Intelligence community, we see mobility not so much within the ranks of a corporation but between the private to public sector or back to public-sector from the private sector.
Six Degrees: What types of training in sourcing/recruitment are available to you and have you taken advantage of?
John: Early on I was fortunate to have taken AIRS Training as a Certified Diversity Recruiter but frankly for the sector I am in which is Federal government the rules and regulations require training or at least some understanding about what are called Merit Systems Principles. In fact OPM the HR arm of the government is looking into ways to attract private sector HR and Recruiters to step into much needed HR field within the Federal sector. I hope more of your readers would consider coming over to the government space and once you get the basic understanding of the various GS and SES levels of government as well as the multitude of job codes and occupational categories, things like position classification which can be mind-numbing could lead to a rewarding career. The best training that I still utilize today was through the National Association of Hispanic Federal Executives. A group of Federal executives that took me under their wing taught me not only much about leadership development but allot about the basics around hiring flexibilities and internships as a means to employment within the government, in fact the rules of engagement in the public sector have provided a foundation of principles that I have found useful in navigating this specialized field today.
Six Degrees: What recruitment software tools do you use in your day to day recruitment activities & do they translate effectively within all of the different countries where you recruit?
John: As opposed to recruitment software tools I used a decade ago as opposed to many of today's web based tools I find much of my time is spent in Wanted Analytics, Google Adwords, Webtrends, and Talent Brew which is a proprietary TMP talent management suite of tools. Most of my time is spent in the areas of diagnostics and analytical based tools to measure things like frequency and sentiment on social media sites. Social networking via LinkedIn.com as well as a few other new brand measurement tools are emerging and I find these particularly interesting from the standpoint of creating employer brands and strategies to engage passive and active candidates into the online application process.
Six Degrees: What tools (technology or old school file folder, for example) did you first encounter early in your recruitment career?
John: One of the coolest tools I used was InfoGist which allowed me to set up multiple searches overnight, rank sort and store candidate resumes and conduct targeted email blasts to potential candidates. Given a strong sales background didn't hurt either as recruitment is a contact sport. The ability to build relationships easily, and network were by and far my strong suits.
Six Degrees: How did your expectations of being within the Talent Acquisition space compare to reality?
John: My expectations of being a recruiter were not as different as the reality I had expected given my first introduction came from attending and manning the booth so to speak at about a dozen career fairs a year. Starting out working career fairs gave me a great foundation for getting over the awkward moments that typify the beginning of the interview process. In that today's recruiter needs to be part doctor, part lawyer and now part techie, I think we get so mired in the technology that it literally is minimizing the time spent with potential candidates albeit on the phone or in person.
Six Degrees: Worst mistake, biggest goof, lousiest practice you thought would fly but didn't — and how that was a learning experience?
John: That would probably be the day I got the nations' second largest weekly newspaper and a global financial insurance company flamed. By the grace of god, and using a few unused resume licenses from Monster and Career Builder – we used meta-search software to send a few hundred thousand emails at once and crashed both companies servers. It theory the idea was to reach passive candidates in bulk for a commission only insurance sales representative position. Sure initial results were exceptional for a while; but at the end of the day, the biggest lesson learned was that nobody likes spam. So if you send big emails, for the love of god please keep them to under 200 per transmission.
Six Degrees: How do you personally expect to facilitate change within our industry, and/or at your place of work? If you started that process, outline the problem, your solutions, and the vision.
John: In order to facilitate change as with any social movement I have felt it begins with the little things that ultimately serve as a catalyst to give momentum to others and create a tide or wave. I find personal satisfaction in knowing that by publishing a couple whitepapers with my colleague before the issues broke related to Hispanic under-representation and lack of hiring People with Disabilities that we were able to address some tough problems on unpopular issues and get publicity for it. You can download these from my LinkedIn profile by the way. But leading up, and becoming an agent of change is something that I imagine comes with discipline, Discipline in minding to the details of the day, and bringing to each day a positive outlook of the possibilities. So it is in that going through the day to day process of attending to the details and then going the extra mile to go to all the diversity events (and about ten to fifteen years ago being the only white guy in the room). To attending council and community meetings around the topics you are passionate about to chipping in on committees; and volunteering for all those corporate community projects.
To drive change there must be conflict and often times emerging to resolution of a problem means having the discipline to compromise and collaborate while motivating others to do their best. I accept that I am not a very influential person ( now evident by my lowly Klout score of just 22) but I have been recognized with a few awards in the past, and try to lead by example amongst my peers as more of my clients get awards and promotions than fired I would say that is good thing.
Six Degrees: "Best practice" you are most proud of developing (now or in the past) in your recruiting career?
John: Bringing together dedicated people and emerging technologies to the application of major projects like using meta-search software to source, structured processes to ideate, and ability to create content and tools for websites such as HireDiversity.com, WorkplaceDiversity.com and USAJobsRecruit.gov. The ladder was being part of a great team that put together in six months a government-wide knowledge management community of practice portal built to educate and promote collaboration within the recruiter and human resources cadre for the Federal government that launched this year. On one occasion while at Hispanic Business Magazine I had a custom publishing project to create an outreach directory. So being invited to the old executive building at the Whitehouse by the Office of the Vice President liaison for Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans to review prior to publication my print and online directory around the issues of employment, supplier diversity, and community development inspired me to continue down the road to help Federal agencies build the workforce of the future.
Six Degrees: What are some of the frustrating aspects/obstacles to your day to day as a staffing professional and in general?
John: Getting clients, stakeholders, and sometimes even internal colleagues to think differently or try new things. Occasionally working with people that run the other way when it is time take on additional responsibilities to get the job done- thus it is a good thing that there will always be some attrition.
Six Degrees: What are the most common themes of strategic and/or tactical mishaps involving past or present HR/Staffing org?
John: It is not my intention to generalize here but the most common themes revolve around one thread. I have seen campaigns fail and succeed around one major pitfall that can have adverse impact. This occurs when there exists an adversarial role that sometimes transpires between HR, EEO and Public Affairs. It can be over budget battles, career ambitions, and just plain dysfunctional teams. It is the lack of alignment and understanding between the goals of leadership and overcoming operational obstacles when those in key organizational roles lack the spirit of collaboration and engagement. (Albeit the same can be said when there is a disconnect between an Ad Agency & Client)
When it comes to strategic talent acquisition, HR and EEO being on the same page and commitment of resources to a common goal has been made the biggest mishaps I have seen come when sourcing and engaging diverse candidates fails to be authentic and outbound communications fail to connect the candidate with a clear and resonant message. This often stems from a lack of understanding within a culture or lack of cultural sensitivity in how we go about developing creative and messages geared towards attracting talent. Compound that with a process that is broken or not nimble enough to adapt to surge hiring and bottlenecks will occur. Personalities can often take these mishaps personally. Those professionals that see growing internal talent as an imperative can be often overlooked, and hiring to train and develop diverse talent needs to be called out in the narrative of the employer brand as well. Driving applicant flow is easy, retaining talent now that is a little trickier. So moving to address the full candidate lifecycle when it comes to diversity outreach is a key component to success in the space with today's leading employers. Those that don't get it end up paying allot more down the road when they fail to invest in their people. In fact findings from EEOC show that the incidents of discrimination in the government increased from 2.98 percent to 3.3 percent, and government agencies paid out $46.9 million to complainants in fiscal 2010, up 12 percent from $41.7 million in the previous year. As more government agencies are investing in their people we can only hope this will translate in the out years of less taxpayer dollars being wasted on suits. For more on the topic a great read is The People Factor by Scott Gould & Linda Blimes.
Six Degrees: Considering all of the frustrations you have experienced in your career as a recruiter, — what inspires you as you continue in your career?
John: What I found most frustrating in my career as a recruiter Is the mentality of so many diversity job boards out there that like to say "we can do everything but hire them for you." Its that attitude out there that it's all about the sale when in reality what the client ultimately gets is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Among the most frustrating things to me early in my career was working to build viable databases of candidates across a broad and diversity spectrum for diversity job boards and to discover so few employers use the resources with no affect. To actually go to recruitment events and collect resumes of candidates that had some solid skill sets, the experience, and frankly looked great on paper- only to find out that employers passed on interviewing them as they were "not a fit" is a hard thing to accept. So often having sold access to these databases and then going back a year later to find that several Corporate clients and even a couple of government ones never even logged in to source the resumes was another. It was as if commercial and government clients would sign up for our services because they did not want to be conspicuously absent.
Many of those candidates that were diverse, or disabled or a veteran would write me and I would follow up best I could. One can only empathize with candidates that suffer from a sense of frustration and futility. You can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink syndrome is caused by apathy and a workforce of recruiters that are perhaps not engaged or just punching a time card and taking the path of least resistance.
What truly inspires me as the son of an immigrant is to know that mentors, friends, and managers that took the time to help and educate me along the way were the key.
So today when the conversation comes around to diversity, I often speak about Mentoring. Good mentors and coaches inspire me and I am lucky to be working with so many talented people and have a fantastic leadership team that has helped me achieve and exceed my goals. In large part it is because those that choose to pay it forward, and those that came before me in the field of diversity and recruitment have paved a trail. I would like to think that everyone deserves a level playing field – and by extension if I can pave the way for the next generation through my efforts – maybe one day racial and ethnic lines and bias can be blurred. What inspires me to continue in this career is to be able to say that "I have good citizen, and have done my part to make the world a better place."
Six Degrees: What one thing do you find most ideal given the opportunity to develop/ implementing/ invent professionally that has yet to be done within our industry?
John: One thing I would like to accomplish is building a public-private partnerships for job creation through building affinity groups for government agencies to recruit diverse talent to address under-representation. That would seem easy enough if any agency would put their money where there mouth is but so few actually do. In fact there is a need to attract diverse talent as well as veterans, and people with disabilities. At present Hispanics and People with Disabilities are the most under-represented groups in government and the needle needs to be moved forward exponentially to get in parity with the civilian labor force.
A shortage of talent in the healthcare and acquisition fields has created a unique opportunity to provide real value for employers that truly want to address these critical shortages in the Federal workforce. In fact with 40% of the Federal workforce set to retire there really hasn't been a better time to enact and drive change. Over the past decade change in the areas of diversity and specifically diversity at the Senior Executive Service level within government have been lackluster to say the least. But under the leadership of the Obama Administration and early appointments of Director John Berry and Christine Griffin at the Office of Personnel Management there has been some movement and within the last year has given me real hope that a renewed effort is underway.
Six Degrees: Anything you want to plug?
John: One of the coolest things I have seen as of late in terms of "what is working" is TalentBrew which is a talent management suite of tools from TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications which is enabling us to achieve great results for a myriad of Fortune 500 clients as well as a few bold government agencies that believe innovation and harnessing the power of search, social and mobile are the way to go.
What talent brew does is enable us to dominate both organic search and paid search engine marketing results. Combined with robust sourcing strategies and dynamic creative our clients are pleased to get their jobs out of the ATS and away from a post and pray mentality with the mainstream job boards and liberate requisitions across the web.
When combined with our Metrics Gateway and CRM tools these have proven to generate not only cost efficiency but exceptional results and pushed our clients job postings to go viral and attract both passive and active job candidates via social and mobile media outlets. Ultimately helping our clients capture and build talent ecosystems across domains in virtually every sector. Every month we have contests and share success stories with "What's Your Brew" on our all calls and it is exciting to see how data is being used to full effect for our clients by teams of talented strategists worldwide.
Six Degrees: How Are You Going To Change The Recruitment Industry?
John: The question isn't so much how I can change the recruitment industry as much as it is how can I bring the recruitment industry to hiring reform within the Federal government. One of the major factors that lead me to accept my current position was the ability to make a difference. At the time amidst the Bush Administration I had a nice offer from Gannett after being laid off due to the sale of the job boards I helped to create at American City Business Journals to OnTargetJobs.com. Ultimately the decision was between TMP and Gannet and albeit Gannett was more money, a managerial role, with relocation-the choice was a simple one because I valued greatly the ability to proactively help people to find a career, answer a calling or just simply found satisfaction in knowing I helped someone find gainful employment. To me that was something tangible, and having come from an Advertising sales background- I didn't want to sell ads that would push sales of soap, cheese whiz, or the latest car on the market. I felt empowered that through my efforts the end result was that people would be able to get back to work. In so far that TMP Worldwide at the time Monster was tasking me to help government agencies recruit talent; I felt that it would be possible to do more damage from within, and to hopefully make a difference and get the democrats back in and with some luck enact real change within the Federal workforce. So today, after five years I am proud of the fact with the support and very smart people that make up our team at TMP Government we as change agents have played a significant role in creating a knowledge management community of practice portal called USAJobsRecruit.gov for the Office of Personnel Management which is dedicated to enabling Hiring Managers, Staffing Professionals and Program Managers in the Federal sector the ability to share best practices and access resources – that will ultimately lead to change, and hopefully change the way recruitment works in the government sector. So that one day Federal agencies which serve us the citizens of this country and the world, will be able to attract the best and brightest talent. Our latest effort, VA for Vets is helping VA to create a next generation portal/ job board dedicated to recruitment, retention and re-integration of Veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. At the end of the day I am optimistic about the prospects of changing the recruitment landscape for government. To borrow a line from a recent Robert Rodriguez film Sucker Punch, "if you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything".

DESTREHAN — Destrehan, the No. 2-ranked team in Class 5A, had to fight and claw its way to a 28-14 victory over rival East St. John on Friday night to seal a perfect 10-0 season — its fourth in school history — and claim sole possession of the District 7-5A championship. Destrehan will host a bidistrict round playoff game next week.
East St. John (5-5, 4-3) will be on the road.
Destrehan clinched this one by overcoming an ineffective first half with a nearly flawless second half. Will Matthews and Kirk Merritt each scored a pair of touchdowns and combined for 226 yards rushing — but more than half of that came in the second half. The passing game finished with 136 yards — but 83 of those yards came on one touchdown pass from Kohen Granier to Merritt — also in the second half. Then the defense kicked in, with Kendell Anderson nabbing a pair of second-half interceptions.
JESUIT 34, ST. AUGUSTINE 20: Jesuit, ranked No. 6 in Class 5A, earned a District 9-5A win over St. Augustine at Tad Gormley Stadium.
The Blue Jays (8-2, 4-1) can get a three-way share of the Catholic League title if Brother Martin beats Rummel on Saturday afternoon.
TEURLINGS CATHOLIC 65, NORTHSIDE 35: For a while, it looked like Teurlings' dream of a perfect District 5-4A record was in trouble.
Trailing by 11 points, the Rebels (8-1, 6-0) — ranked No. 2 in Class 4A — scored three quick touchdowns in the second quarter, including one with 12 seconds remaining in the half to take a 31-21 lead into halftime.
From there, the Rebels exploded for 48 unanswered points.
Teurlings quarterback Cole Kelley, who was coming off his worst performance of the year last week against Westgate, got back on track going 21-of-31 for 312 yards and six touchdowns.
LANDRY-WALKER 40, LAKE AREA 20: On Landry-Walker's second play from scrimmage, Javon Conner swept left on an 84-yard touchdown run that set the tone for a homecoming victory in the regular-season finale.
Landry-Walker (8-2), the No. 6 team in Class 4A, finished in a three-way tie for first place in District 9-4A after Karr topped Warren Easton 34-33 on Friday night.
Conner's touchdown was the first of four in the first quarter by Landry-Walker on its way to a 34-0 lead first-half lead against overmatched Lake Area (4-5). The Fighting Leopards, who are a football independent, do not compete for district honors.
FRANKLINTON 46, RIVERDALE 14: Franklinton clinched the outright District 8-4A championship Friday, building a giant first-half lead and cruising past Riverdale.
The Demons (9-1, 5-0), ranked No. 5 in Class 4A, got three first-half touchdown passes from Michael Wilson — two to DeAndre Allen and one to Josh Magee — en route to a 39-0 lead.
ASSUMPTION 42, MORGAN CITY 35: In Morgan City, Jimmie Wise scored three touchdowns to lead Assumption (3-7, 2-2) to the District 7-4A win.
Wise scored on runs of 3, 54 and 50 yards and Melvin Young scored on a 80-yard kickoff return to lead the Mustang offensive assault. Wise finished with 149 yards on eight carries.
Hector Tolento threw 11 and 4-yard scoring passes to Jaylen Jones and Kevon Marsh ran a kickoff back 66 yards and scored on a 7-yard run for Morgan City (2-8, 0-4).
CATHOLIC-NI 42, DELCAMBRE 0: This year's team at Catholic-New Iberia chalked itself into the school record books Friday night, becoming the first Panthers team since 1969 to finish a regular season undefeated. The victory also gave the Catholic-NI (10-0, 5-0), the No. 2 team in Class 2A, its second straight District 5-2A title.
Great performances from senior quarterback Jason Pellerin and the Catholic defensive unit propelled the Panthers to the victory.
Pellerin, an Ole Miss commitment, collected 107 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
WEST ST. JOHN 42, WHITE CASTLE 6: Bradley Borne ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams rolled to a 42-6 victory over White Castle on Friday night, wrapping up an undefeated run through District 8-1A play.
West St. John (8-2, 5-0), the No. 5-ranked team in Class 1A, also got 93 yards and two touchdowns from Lamore Boudoin, who also caught two passes for 29 yards.
The Bulldogs (7-3, 3-2) took an early 6-0 lead but never scored again, managing just 103 yards from scrimmage. With the win, West St. John nabbed its fourth straight district title. The Rams figure to have a bye in the first round of the 1A playoffs.

My husband Ted had a series of mini-strokes. He can carry on a conversation some times. But other times I've noticed that Ted gets "stuck" on a subject and tends to repeat the same thing over and over again. He could ask when dinner is 25 times or more. It's so frustrating. I don't know what to do to get through to him. If I get angry, it just seems to make him upset too. Can you offer me any advice?
My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease two years ago. Recently I've noticed that Mom gets very agitated in the early part of the evening. She seems nervous, paces the floor anxiously, and has become both more confused and more combative. I am having a hard time coping with these new behaviors. Is there anything I can do?
Your mother has been diagnosed with dementia and it is clear that she can no longer live alone. You feel that an assisted living facility is the best care option, but your brother disagrees. Every conversation you have with him seems to lead to confrontation and hurt feelings….
How has your relationship with your partner changed as a result of disease? Physicians seem reluctant to address this question with caregivers dealing with a long-term chronic illness.
One of today's all-too silent health crises is caregiver depression. A conservative estimate reports that 20% of family caregivers suffer from depression, twice the rate of the general population. Of clients of California's Caregiver Resource Centers, nearly 60% show clinical signs of depression. And former caregivers may not escape the tentacles of this condition after caregiving ends. A recent study found that 41% of former caregivers of a spouse with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia experienced mild to severe depression up to three years after their spouse had died.
"The care you give to yourself is the care you give to your loved one,
Lisa's mother, Ruth, has been living alone since her father died five years ago. Ruth has been active at church and eats lunch at the local senior center a couple of times a week. Lisa does the food shopping, takes Ruth to doctors' appointments, and has her over to her house for dinner, usually once a week.
When you're a caregiver, finding time to take care of your own physical needs is difficult enough, but taking care of the physical needs of someone else is even more challenging. Assisting someone else to dress, bathe, sit, or stand when they are upset, agitated, or combative—often the case when caring for someone with a brain disorder such as Alzheimer's disease—requires special strategies. The following five techniques can make taking care of a loved one's physical needs easier.
Alguna vez le ha ocurrido que salió de la oficina del médico sin respuestas a sus preguntas, o con el sentimiento de que el médico no le escuchó? Hoy en día los médicos tienen muchos pacientes y poco tiempo, y si el paciente no demanda que su médico se tome el tiempo necesario para responder a todas sus preguntas, muchas veces no lo hará. Idealmente una visita al médico debería involucrar comunicación entre el paciente y el médico, y un reparto de información educativa sobre la salud.

Okay some of us have been thinking "Why is the world so screwed up?? What is up with this generation? How come so many bad things are happening?" Well just imagine you have the power to stop anything you'd like in the world.
Here's some of the things would I would stop:
1. Crime. The robberies, shootings, and murders would be kicked to the curb definitely.
2. Kids dressing like prostitutes and trying to be more mature when they're really not.
3. Animal abuse
4. Racism
5. Drugs
6. Pregnency before your married unless you have the money and is responsible enough to be a mother
7. Bullying
8. Bad parenting
9. Poor people starving to death
10. Suicide
What would you change?? How do I know if you don't comment? :D

Shari'a and Democracy in Arab Constitutions
Two of the most influential reformers from "within" Islam, Tariq Ramadan and Abdullahi An-Na'im are discussing what shari'a is and should be: a set of principles and morals for believers, never a body of law to be enforced by the State? Both wish democracy, equality amongst citizens, human rights. But they also disagree: Tariq Ramadan believes shari'a should be named in the Arab constitutions as Muslims draw principles of justice for change from within their own tradition and religion. For An- Na'im, on the contrary, the religious needs to be kept far from the political: only a secular state can guarantee the realization of the Islamic objective of justice in Muslim societies.

Baytex Energy Corp. says that certain of its indirect subsidiaries have received a letter (the "Proposal Letter") from the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") advising that, subject to submissions by Baytex, the CRA is proposing to reassess those subsidiaries to deny non-capital loss deductions relevant to the calculation of income taxes for the years 2011 through 2013.
In 2010, Baytex acquired several private entities with accumulated non-capital losses of $591 million. The proposed reassessments seek to disallow the deduction of these non-capital losses under the general anti-avoidance rule of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
If the non-capital losses that have been claimed to-date were ultimately disallowed, it is expected to result in an estimated liability for the previous taxation years of approximately $57 million and a reduction of approximately $262 million of non-capital losses which could otherwise be available to reduce income taxes in subsequent taxation years.
