Emaar investment in Morocco reaches AED 25.3 billion for six world class real estate developments
Emaar Properties, the world's number one property developer, has further strengthened its position in the Moroccan market with the company's investments reaching AED 25.3 billion covering six real estate projects across the country.
The company signed a new AED 19.8 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today with King Mohammed VI, King of Morocco. Emaar was represented by its Chairman Mr. Mohamed Ali Alabbar. The MoU opens the door for Emaar to develop communities comprising residential, commercial, retail, leisure and entertainment facilities.
The momentous MoU includes three unique developments stretching from the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic coast and includes world class golf and ski communities, Riviera living and luxury spas and resorts. Construction work will start on all three projects this year.
A shared vision for the prosperity of their nations and inspirational leadership cements the long standing partnership between King Mohammed VI and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of
UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Both leaders have been instrumental in shaping their nations and driving forward their economic growth.
Due to the vision and leadership of King Mohammed VI, Morocco has in recent years made great headway in opening the economy to foreign investment and trade as well as making financial reforms which will encourage the continued growth of the Moroccan economy.
Emaar's Chairman Mr Mohamed Ali Alabbar said: "The signing of this MoU is the culmination of our commitment to provide communities that will complement Morocco's unique environment, architecture and cultural character. We look forward to working with the Moroccan government in creating these exciting developments."
"Morocco will play an important role in the international expansion of Emaar. With a total of six projects planned, Morocco is one of Emaar's most significant commitments outside of the United Arab Emirates and we will soon be opening our office headquarters in Marrakech as well as offices in Rabat and Tangiers to cement this commitment," he added.
Alabbar said any planned future projects will complement Morocco's maturing as a tourist destination and residential investment location. "Morocco is a natural fit with the types of world class communities we offer. It has distinctive natural beauty, from rocky coast to snow-capped mountains, and a climate conducive to year round outdoor living and leisure. As a destination and a place to live it is increasingly sought after.
The three distinct developments covered in the MoU are:
Oukaimeden: Located in the Atlas Mountains, Oukaimeden, the valley of four winds, is set to become the ultimate four season mountain destination for recreation, entertainment, relaxation and residence as well as being the Middle East and Africa's only golf and ski resort.
In keeping with Berber design and architecture of the great Atlas Mountains, Oukaimeden village will combine commercial, office, retail, entertainment and dining amenities with a full range of residential options to choose from. With 2,000 hotel rooms, more than 300 retail units and 25,000 sq. metres of business and conference facilities planned, Oukaimeden will be a year round hive of activity.
Saphira: Situated on the City's western side, Saphira (Rabat Corniche) will become the leisure and tourism hub of Rabat City, one of the country's most famous historic and cultural centres. With a striking Atlantic coastal position, Mediterranean and Moorish architecture and an ancient commercial heart, Saphira will provide high quality residential communities, as well as a vast array hotel and leisure facilities.
Stretching along 11km of coastline, covering 330 hectares and comprising nine distinctive districts, Saphira will include a road network of tree-lined boulevards, an electric tram system, cycle-paths, parks and green spaces. At Saphira's core will be the pedestrian, "Le Grand Souk", which will connect the old medina with the new Medina Maris district – a world class marina development with vibrant Riviera lifestyle and a host of leisure and retail opportunities.
Tinja: Nestled between seafront and natural indigenous forest, Tinja is a haven of peace and tranquility just 20 minutes from Tangiers. Offering a mix of high quality residential and commercial zones arranged around a vibrant marina, Tinja is a world class development located on the impressive Atlantic Ocean coastline.
With more than 670 residential units and over 600 hotel rooms as well as leisure clubs and facilities, Tinja offers Riviera living at its best - eye catching coastal views combined with world class facilities. Located close to the main coastal route and the Ibn Battuta airport, Tinja provides the perfect gateway from which to explore Tangiers and Morocco as a whole.
"Our Moroccan projects draw together all the most successful elements of Emaar's many signature lifestyle communities. Using our experience of creating world class golf communities, luxury leisure and hotel resorts as well as internationally renowned marinas and amenities rich communities, we will work with the Moroccan government to build innovative real estate – like our unique golf and ski resort - that adds value both to Morocco and its people," added Alabbar.
This latest signing signals Emaar's fourth move into Morocco, following its announcement of the US$327 million Amelkis II - the luxury residential golfing development in Marrakech, the announcement of Amelkis III – further development of the residential golfing community and its launch of the US$1.2 billion Bahia Bay project, a large scale residential golfing community along the picturesque Moroccan coast – all with joint venture partner ONA Group.

Ok I'm extremely new to wii hacks. I've never done anything other than play games in it. What I'm trying to do is figure out if I can use it as a network media player on my home network, load games and play them from a external hard drive, and if it is possible to have the wii play DVDs?
If any of these are possible please let me know which and what I need to look for to do it.
What I mean as a network media player is I want to rip all my DVDs to a HDD on my network and I want my son to be able to watch them on his tv in his room from the network in his wii. This is so I dint have to buy an actual network media player.

I have once heard of something called ''SMB Share'', but I don't know anything about that. I don't believe it's for sharing movies over a local network.
As far as USB loading and watching movies on your Wii goes: Introduce Yourself
How? In the thread?Originally Posted by nightstah
I'm on my iPhone app and it won't let me type in the block for the intro forum. Any help with that other than logging in on a PC?
Perhaps the latter might be a better idea for now.
See how the box is grayed out. It won't let me type in it. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated in the mean time.

No need to get ugly. If my questions were answered instead of changing the subject this post would have never got off topic in the first place. I didn't post a new thread to learn to post from my iPhone I asked other questions. Obviously you don't know the answer so please don't waste the space in my thread with nonsense.

Appendix:Emerald walkthrough/Section 6
Fallarbor Town
There isn't a Gym here, but there are certainly a few things worth checking out before continuing on to Route 114. In the Pokémon Center, you will meet a woman named Lanette who handles the PC's Pokémon Storage System for the Hoenn region. Speak to her while she stands in front of the PC and she'll ask you to visit her at her house on Route 114, which is west of here. You can also find the Move Relearner in this town. In exchange for a Heart Scale, he can help your Pokémon relearn a move from their level-up moveset that they may have forgotten. Lastly, the third Battle Tent is here!
Battle Tent
Again, you will use three of your own Pokémon in three battles. No one can switch Pokémon. The Pokémon each have three turns to attack and try to KO their opponent. If, at the end of three turns, no Pokémon have fainted, then the judge will determine the which of the three possible scores your Pokémon will receive:
- Circle (win: 2 points)
- Triangle (tie: 1 point)
- X (lose: 0 points)
This is based on three categories:
- Mind (amount of offensive moves)
- Skill (accuracy)
- Body (remaining HP)
The Pokémon with the lowest total points after three turns faints, another Pokémon substitutes, and the process starts again. (The Skill category is not affected if a move misses as a result of a damage blocking attack such as Detect and Protect.) Win three battles in a row and you will receive a Hyper Potion.
When you're finished in town, head west towards Route 114 and Meteor Falls.
Route 114
|Available Pokémon
On the western outskirts of Fallarbor Town lies another greenish house. Head inside and you'll find it to be the Fossil Maniac's house. The Maniac's little brother will give you TM28 (Dig). Go inside the hole in the wall and all the way to the back of the cave for advice on where to find Fossils. Just west of here is an old man and a Poochyena. Talk to him to get TM05 (Roar). Take on the Trainer near the lake, then move south and battle a string of trainers. Go east from Charlotte to pick up an Energy Powder, then cross the bridge to the south to find more trainers.
Once you're across the bridge, go behind the yellow house with the red roof and collect the Berries from the eastern ledge. Then leap down and enter the house. This is Lanette's home. Talk to her to receive a Lotad Doll. If you hadn't met her in the Pokémon Center in Fallarbor, "Someone's PC" will be called "Lanette's PC" from now on. Hanging around near Lanette's house is a man who will give you a random Berry. Return here to get a new Berry each day. Collect all five!
When you're done, head south down the path and take on more trainers. Afterwards, climb the stairs to the rocky foothills. To the north of the stairs, you'll see a rock. Rock Smash it to collect the Protein beyond. Move around the rocky paths to find more trainers. The entrance to Meteor Falls is on the other side of a ledge at the southernmost point of the Route..
Meteor Falls
|Available Pokémon
When you enter Meteor Falls, walk to the left and down the stairs to see Team Magma threatening Professor Cozmo. Team Aqua will arrive as well, but Team Magma will escape with the Meteorite. It's up to you to follow them to Mt. Chimney and recover the Meteorite! (You can't do any more exploring here until you receive HM03 (Surf) later on.)
There are two options for getting to Mt. Chimney:
- Backtrack through Fallarbor Town and Routes 113, 112, and 111, or
- Continue through Meteor Falls and loop around through Rustboro, Verdanturf, and Mauville.
Either way, the cable car that was previously blocked off by Team Magma on Route 112 will now be accessible to take you to the summit. During your ride on the cable car, you just might see someone hiking!

120. Are they taking their bad practice with
(Mr Crisp) Hopefully they are taking their good practice
with them. Where people move from one to another, and that was
my point about if there has been an estate strategy developed
before, we have not lost it necessarily.
121. So if there has been a bad strategy before,
we have not lost that necessarily either.
(Mr Crisp) That is perfectly fair but the point that
I made in answer to the Chairman's very first question is that
there are incentives to get your strategy right. One is the performance
management, the second one is that you will not get investment
unless you have got an adequate estate strategy and that is a
strong incentive.
122. I shall bear that in mind when I read the
Report. Does price determine what we get rid of rather than operational
(Mr Crisp) What we get rid of?
123. Not in the retained sector, I know that
is quite simple, I know how to deal with that. I am more interested
in this residual part, the smaller part albeit. Does price bear
an implication on where you decide which part to get rid of?
(Mr Crisp) There is a process the estate strategy
goes through to look at what assets you have got and whether you
are making full use of them in the first place, clinically, and
secondly whether the money that is tied up in them, including
the maintenance cost on keeping them redundant, you can invest
that money better. Now in that sense the value of the property
does play a part because it is part of what you are calculating
124. So you may get rid of a very good operational
unit which is in a prime site to reinvest that money into a less
prime site?
(Mr Crisp) No, my first point was that you first of
all look at what you need operationally. Therefore, if you have
got a good and well functioning hospital, clinic, whatever it
is, of the right size that is being used in that clinic well that
is what you stay with, that is what the estate strategy starts
with. What do you need to deliver your services? That is the first
point, that is the starting point, and that overrules everything
else. Having established that there may be some property surplus
after that the way in which you deal with that may depend on what
it is, how much it is costing you to keep it and how much if you
have a very expensive asset that is tied up there that is doing
nothing for you, that is not operationally useful, whether you
can use that money better. It is at the second level. The first
point that people are looking at is can we deliver today's service
with the facilities we have got now. This is not about selling
the hospital in an expensive area and moving to a cheaper area.
125. If I was to tell you of a hypothetical
case where two hospital units within a town were shut down and
a new one was built on a greenfield site and the old hospital
buildings were in such an appallingly difficult state to maintain
that the developer who bought them refurbished them and said that
the structure, the building, was so good that they did not have
to bother maintaining it, it was built by the Victorians, but
the reason it was sold was to maximise the income of development
land, both sites being used for housing, and the investment taking
place in green belt land, would you be surprised at that outcome?
(Mr Crisp) I would be surprised unless you had missed
out an important part of that argument which is that the two hospitals
were not providing the service that was needed by the local population.
That is the starting point. Are these hospitals providing the
service for the local population? That is the starting point.
If after that you end up deciding you need a new replacement hospital
then you make the decisions about disposal. It is that way round.
You do not get rid of the hospitals because they are on an expensive
126. Yes. I think it was suggested that the
cost of refurbishing the existing hospital to bring it up to the
modern standard was far less than building a new hospital but
the sale of the land would have been of benefit at that time because
the price of buying the agricultural land was so cheap that they
might be able to make a profit.
(Mr Crisp) This is all very, very hypothetical. I
hear lots of anecdotes about the NHS all the time and my experience
is they are worth investigating and looking at properly. If a
developer is telling you this story, I wonder why the developer
is telling you this story? If I was presented with a case like
that I would like to see the facts because what you are describing
to me is extremely unlikely. We start off by looking to see whether
or not the Service is providing the services needed and only subsequently
then look at what is surplus.
127. Unfortunately as a business, as the health
service, you look at your bottom line and do not take into consideration
the cost imposed on the public by having to travel to a hospital
in a green belt area.
(Mr Crisp) I do not think that is true either. Though
this is not what the subject is about, planning services, it is
very important in planning services that we take account of all
those issues as well as the clinical ones.
128. I think Mr Davies asked a question about
salami slicing and you said it would not be in the rules but if
I had an estate and I knew I could sell off a million pounds without
seeking permission and the surplus was five or six million, I
would have no difficulty going to my board and my accountants
and explaining that we now seem to have a little money back here
and I can salami slice the estate up just under a million pounds
per year for the next five years and I would be within the rules.
Since I have to reinvest the money on the estate itself, improving
the provisions of the members of the public locally, the incentive
will be there to do it, so what is to stop them?
(Mr Crisp) The mechanism again, as I said, is that
we have a framework and set of rules and we have methods for checking
up whether or not people are following those rules, including
quite simply the local auditors. We can actually ask for an investigation,
we can look at it. What you have described implies that the only
other alternative to that would be to make decisions centrally
about relatively small disposals of land. We have very carefully
worked out a strategy which has gone through the Treasury Public
Services Productivity Panel whereby we put in place a very clear
set of frameworks and rules and these are managed locally in the
appropriate fashion and we have checks through audit.
129. I have got no difficulty with people selling
surplus land, surplus assets, I do not want to see a million pounds,
five million pounds is no problem at all as long as the money
is reinvested and gives an incentive for people to maximise the
facilities for the benefit of the people and the public. I have
got no difficulty doing that at all.
(Mr Crisp) Good.
130. When you answered the question about corruption
and the district valuer giving you totals for figures, did I hear
you say that the district valuer goes back and checks on the site
at any future time to ensure that the site sold did not acquire
a new value very shortly into its future under new ownership which
meant that the NHS could have and should have assumed a higher
price for that asset?
(Mr Wearmouth) What we have when we carry out property
transactions is we normally have advisors which could be the district
valuer or could be local property planning or legal advisers.
The transaction takes place. If it is felt there is potential
for further development at a later date we introduce claw back
into the transaction. 50 per cent of the transactions you will
see have had claw back introduced into them which actually ensures
that at a later date if further development is actually achieved
on that site and the value would have been more than we would
have originally got, we receive a percentage of the extra over
and above what we received for the original transaction.
131. Excellent. When you have a sale, do you
have a list of preferred purchasers? Do you work with people in
areas or is it just open competition?
(Mr Wearmouth) There are a number of competition routes
to follow but normally if it is for housing development it would
be a tender process and it would be open to the market-place.
There would not be any preferred purchasers. The only preferred
purchasers we have are other government departments, other NHS
trusts or people who have a right under the Housing Act.
132. So there is no preference or giving first
refusal to the county council or the local authority.
(Mr Wearmouth) As priority purchasers they would have
the right to purchase at the price of the district valuer's valuation.
133. Which would be a bargain, would it not!
(Mr Wearmouth) The district valuers value it at the
value we should have sold it. The issue we have got to remember
is it is being transferred between one public sector organisation
and another public sector organisation. If we moved it into the
private sector it is subject to the market to ensure that we get
best value.
134. But my recollection of the district valuer
was that they always set a value on the project that should be
expected to be met in the market-place. In fact, I can never ever
remember an occasion when the value was lower than the value the
district auditor set. Would you say that is your experience as
(Mr Wearmouth) The true test of value of any property
is subjecting it to the market-place.
135. But an open market-place, a market-place
where the purchaser gets full information and where bids can be
accepted in an open manner?
(Mr Wearmouth) That is right.
136. So it takes preferred purchasers?
(Mr Wearmouth) The only preferred purchasers are the
local authorities and other government departments. The rules
that we follow are that the district valuer's valuation will be
the valuation we use to transfer between one government department
and another.
Mr Jenkins: Thank you, Chairman.
Chairman: Thank you, Mr Jenkins. Nick Gibb?
137. Do you think that capital charges are sufficient
to give incentives for efficient use of capital assets?
(Mr Crisp) I am not sure they are absolutely sufficient.
They certainly do give an incentive and they do make people look
at how they are using capital assets as well. In many cases I
think they do change behaviour.
138. How are they devised? What is the basis
for them?
(Mr Wearmouth) There are two elements of capital charges.
One is a depreciation element on the value of the asset and the
second one is return on investment of that particular asset, so
there are two elements.
139. The return on asset is what percentage?
(Mr Wearmouth) Six per cent.

TEHRAN: Iran's oil ministry took a step toward establishing an oil trading market denominated in euros, rather than the US dollar, by granting a license for the bourse, state-run television reported yesterday.
Just who would trade on the market wasn't immediately apparent.
Iranian television did not mention trading firms or governments willing to market or purchase products on the bourse, nor did it say when it would open for business.
"Iran has registered an oil bourse on the island of Kish in which oil would be sold in euros. The market will be the fifth oil market after New York, London, Singapore and Tokyo," the broadcast said.
Oil trading on those markets is conducted in dollars.
Iranian legislators earlier this year urged the government to set up the market to reduce the US' influence over the Islamic republic's economy. They also criticised Oil Minister Sayed Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh, saying he had delayed setting up the bourse.
If the market succeeds, observers say euro-denominated oil sales could eventually convince central bankers to convert some US dollar reserves into euros, offering potential for a decline in the dollar's value.
First floated in 2004 when president Mohammad Khatami was in power, the idea of a euros-traded oil bourse gained new life after the stridently nationalist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected president last summer.
As the fourth largest oil producing country in the world, Iran has a measure of influence over international oil markets.

In my short time browsing this site I have already learned so much -- many thanks to you all for sharing your experience with those of us who are learning! My wife bought me my first smoker (a Smoke Hollow electric) this year for my birthday and I have been having a lot of fun with it. I cooked professionally for many years and it killed the fun in it for me, so I am really happy to be enjoying it again! My smoker works great now that I am getting the hang of how it runs and have had some pretty decent results in smoking ribs, pork butt, and some chickens. Still building up my confidence to try a brisket, but hope to tackle one soon!

Seasons Greetings! My first holiday/Christmas/Hanukah/Festivus present selection is a book about my favorite childhood rag, Mad Magazine. It's a beauty.
Inside MAD, An Ill-Conceived Collection of the Magazine's High-Quality Stupidity from the "Usual Gang of Idiots" and Their Celebrity Fans
For more than six decades, MAD Magazine's irreverent humor has warped the minds of countless readers. Now MAD's legendary writers, artists, and celebrity fans pull back the curtain, or lift up the venetian blinds, or some window treatment analogy like that, to share and comment on their favorite MAD spoofs of all time.
MAD – an imprint of the much more successful DC Entertainment – invited its own editors, writers and artists to share their all-time favorite MAD articles. Contributors include: Sergio Aragonés, Tom Bunk, Tim Carvell, Paul Coker, Jack Davis, Dick DeBartolo, Desmond Devlin, Mort Drucker, Mark Fredrickson, Drew Friedman, Frank Jacobs, Al Jaffee, Peter Kuper, Tom Richmond and many more. (Not to be confused with noted writer Manny Moor.)
Inside MAD offers a rare look into the twisted minds of the writers and artists who have produced the magazine for the past 61 years. The editors would like to say it's illuminating and insightful, but unfortunately they can't – they've read it.

Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. This protein is highly similar to the gene products of S. cerevisiae cdc28 and S. pombe cdc2. It is a catalytic subunit of the protein kinase complex that is important for cell cycle G1 phase progression. The activity of this kinase is restricted to the G1-S phase, which is controlled by the regulatory subunits D-type cyclins and CDK inhibitor p16(INK4a). This kinase was shown to be responsible for the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma gene product (Rb). Mutations in this gene as well as in its related proteins including D-type cyclins, p16(INK4a) and Rb were all found to be associated with tumorigenesis of a variety of cancers. Multiple polyadenylation sites of this gene have been reported.

I am a volunteer, donor and client served of this great organization. It wasn't on our radar until our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2011. For over 5 years, I've witnessed the great programs and results of research funded by JDRF. Type 1 is an incredibly relentless and demanding disease, the number of needle sticks and infusion sites and sensor sticks these kids endure is hard to imagine. The kids impacted have so much potential to live full, healthy lives, and technological advancements will not only makes their lives easier, it will ultimately help reduce healthcare spending. By supporting JDRF you are are impacting approximately 200,000 kids and over a million adults in the US. Thank you!
Several years ago I made a modest donation to JDRF, and I continue to be inundated by junk mail from the organization--and several other non-profits with whom JDRF must have shared my contact information--despite repeated attempts to block these communications. The postage alone of these letters has exceeded the value of my donation, making my contribution essentially worthless, or worse given the great waste. Though the mission and outcomes of the agency may be admirable, the way they conduct business is shameful, in my opinion.
Our son was diagnosed with type one diabetes almost 5 years ago at age 8. I became involved with JDRF shortly thereafter. It is an organization devoted to funding research to prevent, treat and cure this disease. Since our son was diagnosed we have personally seen advances in his care as a result of JDRF funded research (insulin pump, constant glucose monitor). Further the direction of current research honestly has me hopeful for real life changing management for our son if not for his college years then certainly for his early adulthood. After living with this disease and being the primary manager of it for him. I really do not wish him to assume this burden for the rest of his life. The research JDRF is doing will have a positive impact in his lifetime. I'll settle for less than a cure (happily) if it means easier management and easing his burden. Finally, JDRF s a fiscal responsible charity with a volunteer CEO. I feel comfortable giving to this cause (80+% of each dollar goes to research) because it is about funding the research.
Back in 2004 when my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there were five clinical trials and few were actual human clinical trials. Today, there are more than 30 clinical trials and we have seen improved treatments for some complications and for daily type 1 diabetes management. JDRF was a main funder of this research and a driving force behind federal funding of diabetes research.
I am a Mother of a child with type 1 diabetes. I am the sister of a brother with type 1 diabetes. More than anything I want a cure for this disease. Being a research librarian, I have studied the many diabetes organizations and I find after 20+ years of volunteering with JDRF, that they are the best hope for forwarding prevention, better treatments and a cure for my loved ones and thousands of others. JDRF understands the best approach to get us to a cure. What other organization can say that 85 cents on every dollar raised goes to research? I am proud to be a JDRF Mom, but I look forward to the day I can say I am just a Mom with a child who no longer has diabetes. I believe that day will come sooner because there is an organization called JDRF!
Review from Guidestar
JDRF is very close to a cure and as the mom of a 9 year old, I am very appreciative. It is healing to me to volunteer for them and to know that 85 cents on every dollar goes directly to research for a cure. You won't find a better organization to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. The others are NOT research driven, but JDRF is.... And that's what parents of juvenile diabetes want - a cure so our children will not have to worry about an uncertain future and to suffer through their daily rituals of testing 8-10 times a day and either shots or an insulin pump a permanent part of their life. Thank you JDRF! I will be by your side until there is a cure and no more need for your organization! ;)
JDRF has worked hard over 40 yrs and has developed genetic engineered human insulin, glucagon for severe hypoglycemia,A1C testing, artificial pancreas, continuous glucose monitoring, insulin producing islet cell and pancreatic transplants, insulin pumps, how arteriosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy occurs in diabetics , anti auto-immune drugs, coutless inroads to name a very few but continues to need money for costly durg trials to get a drug or cure to all those suffers and their families
Review from CharityNavigator
Great organization, always a great time when volunteering.

Let me assure the author of this reply, and anyone else who might have doubts, that I keep very accurate, detailed records regarding the charities I donate to and as I stated, not only did I obtain a CONFESSION of the policy breech FROM THE ORGANIZATION DIRECTLY, I was informed by more than one of the unwelcome solicitors that they had received my name and address from the JDRF. (Moreover, this confirmation was provided to me WITHOUT any mention of the JDRF on my part. When I gave them my name, they were able to identify the source. I gave no leading information or any indication of where I thought the information had come from.)
I would not have posted this comment unless I was CERTAIN of the accuracy of the information I was relaying. I still have the notes of the conversations regarding this breech of privacy and I stand by my observations. My donations toward finding a cure for juvenile diabetes will be directed elsewhere.
Review from CharityNavigator
Im president of my school's Spanish Club and our club adviser's little boy unfortunately suffers from Type 1 diabetes, it is just heartbreaking to have to see him take test bloods at least 6 times a day and even be discriminated in his soccer team just for being a diabetic. Last year we were able to raise $2000 for the Walk that took place in Sacramento, the event was emotional and overall just super fun. (Oh we got free t shirts :]) All money went for research and we know JDRF is close to finding a cure!

you can test for int's easily but char's and string's are a different story. you must not forget that a char can be anything that can be inputted via the keyboard....including numbers, symbols and characters.
if you are more specific with what you are after I might be able to help you...but as I said, I need to know exactly what it is you want to do.
ohh...just another thing that just clicked to me....you can do a something like this which will only continue until a valid char input has been made.
hope this helps...Code:char ch; do { cout << "pls select from the following " << endl; cout << " a) add another word " << endl; cout << " b) find word" << endl; cout << " c) exit " << endl; cin >> ch; switch (ch) { case 'a' : addData(); //go to a fnt break; case 'b' : findData (); break; } } while (ch != 'c');

After growing up playing the guitar, Jayme Stone fell in love with the banjo as a teen and has since gained fame for his trailblazing blending of the instrument's traditional sound with a host of different genres and styles.
"I really enjoy bringing together musicians from different circles...I love the detail and colour of chamber music, all the different colours of an orchestra. I love improvising and so I love playing with jazz musicians — a lot of the music I write leans toward jazz," the Juno Award-winning musician, composer and producer told CBC News.
"And always, these gritty, warm, folky sounds show up because I'm a banjo player. All of those things co-exist for me — I love them all — so I try to allow them all be present in the music I make. And I also love music from all parts of the world."
In the attached video, the Toronto musician talks to Deana Sumanac about the appeal of music and instruments with tradition behind them, dazzling Steve Martin and feeling immune to the "mountain music" stereotypes associated with the banjo.
Stone released his latest album, The Other Side of the Air, this week and continues with tour dates across Ontario, in Quebec and in the U.S. through May.

The economic data expected from Germany, UK and the euro-zone might create a slight volatility in the bullion prices. So, for the day make only intraday trades on bullion, recommends Karvy.
Karvy's report on bullion
Testimony from the US Fed chairman nominee Janet Yellen stated that, unless the US economy recovered, there would not be any tapering of its stimulus programme. This made US equities end on a positive note and so, we are seeing all the Asian markets trading in the green, barring China due its local influence. The emerging nation's currencies are also appreciating against the US dollar. The comment by Janet Yellen has also impacted the bullion sector.
Gold bullion, which was trading below $1270 at the futures market yesterday, is now seen trading higher by $15 at $1285. Likewise, silver too has advanced by 1.65 percent and is hovering near $20.78. We believe that the market should continue to follow the expectations raised by the comment unless there any fresh trigger pops up.
Therefore, gold and possibly silver might continue to gain. However, since there was already a gain of over 1 percent, we believe that bullion may remain subdued or gain marginally during the day. The economic data expected from Germany, UK and the euro-zone might also create a slight volatility in the prices. So, for the day, we recommend making only intraday trades on bullion.

Fiscal Decentralization And Fiscal Autonomy In The Eu Member States
In the process of fiscal decentralization sub-central governments have gained access to different fiscal resources, but the autonomy in setting the taxes is a key issue when analyzing the degree of decentralization. In this paper we calculated an index of tax autonomy for the EU Member States based on the OECD methodology of classification of sub-central taxes according to the degree of control over these taxes. We have shown that the design of intergovernmental fiscal relations is significantly different among the Member States, and taking into consideration the discretion over sub-national taxes provides a valuable insight on the fiscal decentralization design.

Baroness Emmuska Orczy, whose best-known work was The Scarlet Pimpernel, became famous for her "armchair detective" stories, in which crimes are solved through deduction.
The Dublin Mystery concerns a murdered lawyer who, not coincidentally, presided over the will of a wealthy and recently deceased Irish businessman. The businessman's will appears to have been forged, casting suspicions on his free-spending son.
Walter Covell adopts a gruff British-accented voice in his portrayal of the unnamed armchair detective in his performance of this delightfully unpredictable murder mystery.
© and (P)1981 Jimcin Recordings
"Falls Flat"
I bought this based on the wonderful Percival Blackley books by Orczy. Here she takes aim at a genre mastered by Poe, Doyle and Collins, but this piece never comes to life and can not stand on its own as a single audio production.

You can't keep a good ghoul down.
Twenty-three years since he last scared (okay, maybe not so much scared as freaked out) the living on the big screen, professional undead badass Beetlejuice is poised for a comeback in — get this — not a remake, but rather a straight-up sequel. Yup, you heard that right. Not one of those remakes or reboots or prequels that are all the rage nowadays, but an honest to goodness sequel to the 1988 movie starring Michael Keaton as the titular ghoul. The original was directed by Tim Burton.
Warner Bros. is the studio behind the sequel news, having handed over the project to burgeoning media moguls David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith (he of the "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" fame) to develop a sequel to the Burton movie for them. The sequel will be the duo's first project for the studio as part of their newly minted "first look" deal.
The original, which Burton shot with Keaton before they hopped over to Gotham City on "Batman" (the caped crusader came out a year later), was a hit and even spawn a cartoon show. It co-starred Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as a married couple who dies in an accident, then "contracts" Beetlejuice to haunt their home's new residents out of their house. The film also starred a young Winona Ryder as a Goth teenager who takes a liking to her new home's former undead owners and vice versa.
Here's a trailer for the original in case you never saw it, or don't remember:


text: The hotel has a great location. Close enough to the city centre (about 5 minutes walking), but away from the extreme crowds, noise and most importantly high hotel prices. It was 35 Euro per night at high season. The rooms were small, yet the views from the balcony windows make up for it.

The Washington Post, February 17, 2012
The Kaiser Family Foundation is out Wednesday morning with a new look at what parts of the country stand to be affected the most by the health reform law's insurance expansion. What you see above is every American zip code charted by the percent of its population that earns less than 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Line ($43,560 for an individual). That's an important number: Anyone earning below it will either qualify for subsidized health insurance, and anyone earning less than 133 percent of the poverty line becomes eligible for Medicaid.

Police take on Olympics security
A Scottish police force is taking over responsibility for Olympic security from G4S amid the continuing debacle over staff shortages.
The chief constable of Strathclyde Police said he will take primary responsibility for security within Glasgow venues.
Under the previous agreement, G4S would have been responsible for day-to-day security, but on Friday Chief Constable Stephen House said he will assume leadership.
A statement on the force's website said: "Following recent developments surrounding security arrangements for the Olympic 2012 events in Glasgow, Chief Constable Stephen House has decided that Strathclyde Police will assume primary responsibility for security at Olympic venues.
"Strathclyde Police continues to work closely with Locog (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games) and is absolutely committed to delivering a safe and secure games for competitors, spectators and everyone living in the force area.
"Extra officers will be deployed to these operations. However, this will have no impact on the level of service in our communities.
"At this time we do not anticipate that there will be any need for military involvement."
The force said discussions are under way to make sure that any additional costs are reimbursed.
Labour MP for Glasgow East Margaret Curran said: "Given G4S's significant failures, this is a sensible decision. The priority must be the safety of athletes and audiences, but it is critical that this does not impact on Strathclyde Police's ability to deal with other emergencies and ongoing operations.
"The costs should be recouped from the Home Office or, preferably, G4S itself. It's essential that no more contracts are awarded to G4S until a full review of this fiasco is carried out."

During the week of Aug. 29, representatives from American Appraisal Associates will visit all buildings and offices to inventory and tag University equipment. A University Security Officer or other designated University personnel will accompany them.
To facilitate this project, please do the following:
1. Identify any personal property that you may have in your office so it is not counted as University property.
2. Bring all small equipment (laptop computers, digital cameras etc.) that are University property to your office so that it can be properly accounted for.
3. Identify all property that was purchased by federal funds.
Should you have questions, please call the Purchasing Department at (340) 693-1483. The Purchasing Office thanks you in advance for your cooperation.

University Community Urged to Begin Planning for 2012 Agriculture & Food Fair
UVI's Cooperative Extension Service (CES) has announced that it is time for the University community to begin planning for the 2012 Agriculture & Food Fair of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Agrifest 2012 will be held Feb. 18-20, on the Grounds of the Rudolph Shulterbrandt Agricultural Complex in Estate Lower Love on St. Croix. The theme for the fair will be "Youth in Agriculture - Growing our Future."
Next year the University will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary and the 40th Anniversary of UVI's status as a Land-Grant Institution. "That means we are pulling out all the stops," said CES Public Information Specialist Clarice Clarke. "Our exhibit, of course, will be better than last year as we look forward to various units within the University to showcase their services to our community."
For 2012, all UVI exhibits must be integrated and interactive, and reflect the fair theme. No backdrops will be provided or allowed for displays. Units are encouraged to get their creative juices flowing and make sure their exhibits are hands-on and will engage fairgoers. Tabletop displays are acceptable.
The UVI exhibit area must reflect the creativity and professionalism of the institution, so all tables will be draped with uniform table covers. Units can either use the CES covers or purchase their own; however, covers must be of the same color scheme. Call Clarice C. Clarke at (340) 692-4060 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com for information on how to purchase matching table covers. A UVI Agrifest request form is available from this direct link.
The deadline for submission of your intent to participate is Friday, October 28, 2011.

text: I will be having dinner at Little Owl next week--meeting someone on the late side (10), and we'll be coming from different parts of town and because of scheduling will probably both arrive in the neighborhood around 9. Looking for a place to have a pre-dinner drink (probably just wine, so a good wine selection by the glass is key) and possibly some small appetizers. Somewhere with a not-too-extreme noise level would be nice. In the past I would have tried Grange Hall. I'm drawing a blank on West Village spots like this. Any suggestions?

So I'm working along on a crufty on Rails 2.3.8 project and my validations come up as:
{{attribute}} {{error}}
A quick WTF check reveals it's late so I must be missing something obvious. No problem, I'll make a new project and see which gem has broken this.
*5 minutes pass*
Brand new project, one model, one field, one error... same thing is happening. I'm not running a fever so this has to be something else. After some frustrating debugging I wipe my gems and reinstall ruby and gems. I figured I just have way too many versions of too many gems and something is fighting with something else. Surprise, surprise the problem is gone. Next day I'm getting project by project up and installed (a nice sanity check anyway to make sure all the gems are accounted for in the appropriate places) and suddenly the same thing happens. Rage.
So now we play the blame game. Some quick debugging into I18n shows that the interpolations aren't being done. Maybe it's an I18n thing? I wipe I18n and voila! Problem disappears. Turns out that the nice folks at I18n decided to change the interpolation syntax and the nice folks in Rails land decided to adjust.... problem is, this breaks old Rails projects instantly. For future reference make sure you're using a different I18n for old stuff.

Despite the U.S. war with Iraq, it will be business as usual for the National Lacrosse League.
The NLL announced yesterday, in keeping with the rest of North America\'s pro sports leagues, the conflict in the Middle East will not interrupt its regular season or playoffs.
\"The leaders of the United States and Canada have encouraged their citizens to continue leading normal lives during these times of war,\" said NLL commissioner Jim Jennings. \"We\'re going to continue to play and entertain our great fans.\"
The Calgary Roughnecks (7-4) play two games this weekend on the road. They take to the floor against the 7-5 Philadelphia Wings tomorrow night before hopping a bus immediately after to Long Island for a Sunday matinee against the 1-12 New York Saints.
The team is expecting to see increased security during its travels, said team president Brad Banister, but he added he\'s not worried about the team\'s safety despite the perceived increase in risk of a terrorist attack.
\"I don\'t think being at war will increase the risk,\" said Banister.
\"I\'m not worried in that aspect.\"
Roughnecks forward and Calgary native Jason Wulder spent seven seasons playing for the Saints before being traded to the Roughnecks prior to last season.
Like Banister, Wulder said the war hasn\'t made him extra nervous about travelling to the New York-area.
\"I\'m not the type of person to think about that type of stuff,\" said Wulder.
\"Besides, you can look at it two ways. With all the added security, it might be the safest time to fly right now.\"
Wulder\'s wife Tracey, a native New Yorker he met while playing with the Saints, experienced that extra security first-hand yesterday.
She travelled down to New York a day before her husband and was held up on the tarmac at Chicago\'s O\'Hare Airport for more than two hours after being told traffic into some East Coast airports was suspended for a short time.
Still, Wulder said the added security should be seen as anything but an inconvenience.
\"I\'m all for it,\" he said. \"I\'m happy they\'re doing all that because you never know who wants some attention during times like this.\"
Also yesterday, Comcast-Spectator, which owns the First Union Centre where the Wings play, announced there would be increased security measures for tomorrow\'s game, including security wanding, metal detectors and pat downs from staff members.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Transmission or clutch on 1997 Honda Civic
Had clutch replaced 30 days ago and driving home hard to get car to go in gear. Stuck in neutral, rocked to get in 1st gear to get home and now it will not do anything. When in neutral it acts like it is in a gear. When I go get it in a gear the car will not move.
I know this may sound stupid , but was it a shop that did the work and is there any chance of warranty? With it shut off what does the clutch pedal feel like ? Again , with it off , does the shifter feel like it moves through the proper positions for each gear? When you get the car in gear and it doesn't move , is there any strange grinding noise? an axle shaft may not be in completely.
Oh, yes, a shop did the clutch and there is a 90 day warranty. I am thinking that when they replaced the clutch something wasn't done right because I know they had to drop the axles and transmission to install the clutch and when we got the car home the next day checked the fluid in the transmission there was no fluid and ever since the clutch was replaced it has been giving problems shifting into gear. With the car shut off the clutch pedal felt loose but we didn't try to move from gear to gear with it off. no grinding noise when in gear. Goes into gear fine with motor running but then you can't get it out of that gear without rocking the car back and forth. When the car is in 1st gear and you try to go forward you can feel the car trying to move but it doesn't go anywhere. The shop just called and said there is no neutral and gears were locked up and they were going to have to tear it apart to see what was going on with it. This is my grandson's car and I don't know a lot but I am really leery of trusting these guys are this point. Only reason I have it there is because of the warranty on the clutch which I have a feeling they will find a reason not to honor that. If this has to do with the clutch problems. then I think they should. However, if it is just one of those things, then they should have no liability and it should be on me to foot the bill. I don't want to get hosed over in the meantime. Had a retired mechanic tell me the synchros were stuck between the gears. I just don't know.
Sounds like you should escape that shop before they tear the trans apart.
Well, that was my thoughts exactly. He called this evening and said that he believes one of the forks is bent and has sheared the pin but to be definite he would have to take the transmission apart. I asked him how much that was going to cost and he said he wasn't going to charge anything for opening it up and he would tell me what he finds and we could discuss the costs at that time. I asked him what if I didn't want him to repair what was wrong after he opened the transmission. He said then he would put it back togther and I could have someone come get the car. He went on to tell me that he was going to give me credit for what I had paid for the clutch replacement and that when he opened the transmission he would inspect it to see what damage was done and look for any other problems that may cause problems in the future and he would inspect the clutch as well and if the clutch was damaged as a result of this problem then he would honor the 90 day warranty. I still have the feeling moreso than before that when they replaced the clutch whoever did the job did not full the transmission back up with fluid and this has caused the problems otherwise why would he be willing to do this? I told him not to do anything until I came to his shop in the morning and we put what he was telling me in writing. I'm not the smartest person when it comes to these things and I am a woman but I am not the dumbest either. He also knows that I work in the legal field because when he had the car to replace the clutch I had given him a business card with my contact info on it. What are your thoughts on this? Should I trust him or should I not? Thank you for discussing this with me.
Have you dealt with this shop before and did they treat you fair? I'm kind of stuck as far as giving any more opinions on whether or not to let him do the repairs , but from how you've described it , and without being there to hear his tone of voice or see his facial expressions (you know how much that counts from your business),I 'm inclined to see what he does to try to make it right. If it was just honest human error than let it be that and hope for the best. Good luck and let us know how it works out please.
Well, I went there this morning and sat down with him face to face and he came up with an agreement that he would open the transmission and see what damage was done and check the clutch as well give me an estimate on the costs and give me credit for the clutch job he did 30 days ago and take care of any problems with the clutch now. If I choose not to let him do the work, then I am free to have the car taken elewhere and owe him nothing. So, I guess I am going to see what he will do. I had not used him prior to the clutch job but since he has put two oxygen sensors on the car and the price on both was reasonable. I did ask around town and he has a pretty good reputation. It's a really small town. I will let you know what happens. thanks again.
You're welcome and good luck. It does sound like he's concerned about his reputation more than money , THAT'S a good thing both for you and for his business.
