Union Hospital got HK$300m from developer for flat site
Union Hospital boss says land sale to developer took place when it was facing financial trouble
Related topics
Union Hospital received up to HK$300 million for giving part of its site to Henderson Land to develop a luxury property project, the hospital chief admitted yesterday.
Chief hospital manager and medical director Anthony Lee Kai-yiu said the land transaction took place because the private hospital in Sha Tin was facing financial difficulty as a result of poor demand in the 1990s, when the government spent heavily to strengthen the public hospital system.
"At the time, the operation was difficult. We [also] studied transforming the hospital into an elderly home or for other purposes," Lee said in a Commercial Radio programme. He said the hospital was given between HK$200 million and HK$300 million for the transaction, and the money was to develop the hospital. "Private hospitals are investments," he added, stressing that the hospital was not built on free land.
But critics questioned how the 1.92-hectare site - which was first acquired for health use by the hospital operator for HK$60 million in 1982 - could be turned into luxury flats. The Director of Audit had on Wednesday issued a report criticising the government for not monitoring whether operations of private hospitals were in line with the conditions stipulated in their land grants.
Although the land was acquired in the early 1980s, Union Hospital started operating only in 1994, providing about 410 beds. But the hospital operator has repeatedly made applications to the authorities to embark on property development on the site since 1986.
That year, it wanted to turn the whole site into flats. It was only 15 years later in 2001 that the authorities finally approved about half the land on the site to be made available for property development.
Lee said yesterday he was unfamiliar with the background to the repeated attempts to change the land use prior to 1996, when he took over as hospital chief.
Legislator Kwok Ka-ki urged the Independent Commission Against Corruption to investigate whether there was any improper transfer of benefits. He said the ICAC should look into why both the Town Planning Board and Executive Council approved the plans for land use change although there were suggestions of hospital shortage in the district at the time.
"We need to look at whether any malpractice or [transfer of] interests were involved, especially in the face of recent cases of former officials being criticised of not being clean," said Kwok.
Media reports quoted a Henderson Land executive as saying earlier this year that the property developer churned out a revenue of about HK$3 billion through the sale of the property built on the site. The property, named Hill Paramount, was packaged as a luxury development at "Sha Tin's Mid Levels". The audit report said some HK$610 million in land premiums was paid for the land use change.
In a separate case, the report said a hospital gave HK$303 million and HK$180 million in fees and donations respectively to its grantee and relevant companies between 2009 and 2010.
Central Kowloon's St Teresa's Hospital, which according to the Department of Health was the hospital mentioned, declined comment yesterday. The auditors accused the Department of Health of failing to make sure such profit transfer by the non-profit-making hospital was in compliance with conditions of the hospital's grant.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
the costume is made out of 4-way stretch shattered glass hologram spandex. i used cheap slip-ons as the base for the shoes. all the accents are craft foam glued onto really thick interfacing, primed, and painted!
THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE and also my first major wig-styling venture. i sewed two wigs together to get the contrasting colors, and carved foam cones into rounded shapes and covered them with wefts. i used a large ponytail clip for her large braid in the back and used some hair from that to make the smaller braids. i definitely want to make a new jolyne costume in the future so i can make a new wig since i definitely learned what did and didnt work for me.
- Personal Thoughts:
i had the hardest time trying to figure out what color scheme to do but when i found this fabric, i rolled with it! jolyne is such a badass n sentimental character i definitely wanna make more versions of her ; o ;

text: Hey Everyone Firstly I'm new here so go easy on me, I'm an Audi newbie I brought my first Audi today! An Audi A3 1.8T Sport 2003 And I LOVE it! But I need some advice with the radio and centre unit and was hoping someone could at least point me in the right direction... This is the set up I have... Firstly I noticed that for some reason the radio backlight dims when i turn the ignition on and i cant see what it says on the screen, is this normal? have I just got it on a wrong setting or is this a problem? Secondly whilst looking into this I was wondering if it where possible to shift it around about so i could get a double din audio system in like this one... I know it wont simply "swap" over, it might be a completely stupid and impossible idea but I was wondering if someone could either point me in the right direction or snap me out of it. Was thinking about improving the climate control too as there's a fair bit of use on some of the buttons, either just replacing it with a better one or upgrading it if that's possible too. like I said I've NO idea if this is even possible, i might just be living in a dream world but was hoping that someone could shed some light. Thanks

I've spent several years researching the internets and buying and trying different gear to see what works for me. I've wasted a shitload of money along the way and hopefully I can save you from wasting yours. Maybe it would be more productive if I listed all the bullshit gear I've purchased in the past? Nah. That would take too much effort. The shorter list is posting the items that do work.
This is just a very brief description of "where I'm at" with my SHTF plans. The thoughts on this site are just my own and in breivity.

School is closed on Tuesday, Feb. 19, but the Lewisboro Library is open and hosting fun activities for kids and teens. At 1 p.m. that day, children in grades one through five are invited to make their own "Personalized Board Books." These books are great to make for younger siblings who are just learning to recognize words. We'll provide the books, page labels and markers; participants should bring copies of personal photos to paste in the book — mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, aunt, cousins, uncle, pet, house, car — plus a picture of the sibling to whom the book will be given. Space is limited and registration is required.
At 4 that day, teens in middle and high school may make their own literary craft at our "Blackout Poetry" program. Called Creative Destruction, this emerging poetry form is shaping another person's words into your own. Take any written material (like pages from a discarded book), then use a dark marker to black out words that are unnecessary to create your own unique poem. Registration is required.

05:Eelke Kleijn - The Night (Jimmy Hill Remix) [Proton Music]
(click on any track title for an extended preview)
The new single on Proton Music is the first from Eelke Kleijn on the label. Eelke, who needs no introduction, helms Outside The Box Music and is one of the few producers deemed worthy enough to release a full artist album on GU Music. He has firmly put down roots in the progressive house scene where he's become a leader in a short amount of time, thanks to his great taste in music as a DJ and excellent production & song writing skills in the studio.
"The Night" includes the well-known Eelke Kleijn atmospheric synth stabs, funky grooves, and a lovely bassline that makes this track a great opener for a single which has 4 different remixers on board.
The first might sound familiar to you and Proton Radio's listeners; it's Add2Basket who also runs his own progressive house label under the same name. A cool themed riff and great background sine melodies are the highlights of this remix, which also is a little more minimal percussion wise.
KiloWatts from the US, who also works with the Thoughtless and Harmonious Discord labels, quickly sets the mood in his remix with amazing synth work, and the overall atmosphere is maintained by various melodies and heavy beats.
Spanish Pablo Bolivar delivers a thrilling "Atom Remake" with a good deal of various melody layers that unite beautifully; this is something deep house fans will appreciate.
Finally, Jimmy Hill, who does a lot of production work with Steve Lawler, provides a dirty remix with more rough elements; both synth and beat wise.
"The Night" is released exclusively on Beatport May 6th.

A thread in July/August 2009 on comp.lang.ada (see Google groups thread) discussed the issue of using anonomous access types in Ada.
I've written a small example, based on OpenToken. It is implemented in two styles; one using anonymous access types (access_style), the other not (object_style). The object style uses Ada.Containers Cursors to get reference semantics when needed.
The source is available here: access_vs_object-2009-08-18.tar.gz, access_vs_object-2009-08-18.zip. I've tested it with GNAT 6.2.1 on Windows and GNAT 4.4 on Debian.
The problem domain of this example is grammars; the goal of the application is to allow the user to build a data structure that represents a grammar, so the application can then use that structure to parse input strings.
Typical grammars have recursion in them. This requires pointers of some form in the data structure. The access_style package tree in this example uses explicit access types as the pointers, and access parameters in the relevant grammar constructing functions. The object_style package tree uses Ada.Containers Cursors as the pointers.
The object style contains a significant kludge; there is a global (but private, in Object_Style.Pointers spec) List object that holds all the tokens needed for the grammar. That was the only way I could see to get a Cursor for each. AI05-0069-1 defines holder containers that should eliminate this kludge in Ada 201z.
In addition, in Object_Style.Sequence "&" body, we must examine the tag of the arguments, rather than using dispatching to achieve the same result. This doesn't happen in the access style, because we can define two "&" functions with different type profiles; one takes a token object, the other an access to class-wide.
Finally, some type information is lost with this style. Compare object_style-run.adb to access_style-run.adb; there are more precise types in the access style version. In the full OpenToken application, this becomes even more significant.
There are two main objections to the access style:
The first objection can be mitigated by realizing that there is never any need to deallocate any of the grammar structures. This could be made explicit with a new pragma No_Deallocations.
The second objection can be eliminated by adding preconditions, as defined by ai05-0145-1 and ai05-0024-1:
pragma Inherited_Precondition ("/", Left in Access_Style.Token_Access_Type);
A reasonably smart compiler can then report the accessibility errors at compile time rather than runtime.
With the facilities of Ada 201z, I believe using explicit access types and access parameters is the best fit to the problem domain. Using container Cursors as the pointers is awkward, loses type information, and doesn't gain enough to be worth it.

Enter the Dragon

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
It's an undisputed fact that John Hughes ruled the 80's. It was hard to pick just one of his movies, but seriously, who can resist Ferris Bueller?
Fight Club
The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club it, so we're just gonna shut up.
The Graduate
What's more amazing? The brilliant performance of a young Dustin Hoffman? The captivating story of a young college graduate with no direction in life who's suddenly seduced by an older woman? The phenomenal soundtrack scored primarily by Simon and Garfunkel?
Madonna never sounded so cool, that's for sure. What else can we say about Gummo? It's just one of those movies you need to see for yourself to understand.
Star Wars
The original trilogy, of course. It's rare for a series to hold up for an entire trilogy, but somehow, Star Wars maintains. And despite being made 30 years ago, those are still some of the best special effects we've ever seen.
Reservoir Dogs
Before there was Grindhouse or Kill Bill, before there was even Pulp Fiction, there was Reservoir Dogs. Writer/director Quentin Tarantino flexes his dialog muscles as the majority of the film takes place inside an abandoned warehouse.
Animal House
This may as well be about JACK FM during our college years.

New Zealand quake sends 30 million tons of ice loose from glacier
The 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck New Zealand on Tuesday, killing at least 75 people in Christchurch, also shook loose 30 million tons of ice from the nation's longest glacier, sending boulders of ice into a nearby lake.
Tour boat operators in the area said parts of the Tasman Glacier calved into the Tasman Lake immediately after the quake, breaking into smaller icebergs and causing 3.5 meter-high (11-foot) waves.
"It was approximately 30 million tons of ice, it's just a massive, massive, massive scale," said Denis Callesen, the General Manager of Tourism at Aoraki Mount Cook Alpine Village.
He added the ice fall or 'calving' was expected, given the large amount of recent rain, the changing of the dynamics of the lake and the La Nina weather phenomenon, a factor in higher levels of rainfall.
"We have known for some weeks that an event was coming, what is just a complete curve ball, left field, is that it was the earthquake that set it off and caused the calving," Callesen told Reuters.

History was made last Sunday at the Owings Mills Jewish Community Center when two martial arts students tested and achieved their black belts in karate.
After more than a decade of study, practice and hard work, Nadav Korman, 18, and Andy Sokal, 23, completed the final stage of their testing Sunday morning with friends and family looking on.
"It was the greatest experience," said Korman.
"It was really awesome and unique," added Sokal.
Both men began their journey to the black belt level around age 10. For Korman, it was a way to learn how to defend himself against school bullies and get active. For Sokal, it was a way to learn life skills that could help him cope with his autism.
Korman's parents signed him up at the age of 8 after trying unsuccessfully to get him involved in other sports and to combat lower school bullying, which got so bad that he suffered a broken back after being shoved down some stairs. Through it all, karate offered Korman an outlet and a group of friends he could rely on.
Sokal began lessons at 10 years old. He took a liking to the sport from the start, he said, and the opportunity to teach it, which both have done for years, has only grown his love of karate.
"I'm really proud of it," he said of being able to teach young students.
Their teacher, Jennifer Lake, head instructor at the Comprehensive Survival Arts (CSA) Martial Arts and Wellness School at the JCC, couldn't think of a time when she had been more proud of any of her students.
"It was really emotional for me," she said of watching the pair complete the final part of their test last weekend. "It was the culmination of years of hard work."
That work involved getting to the karate studio at about 6:45 every morning to work out until students arrived for lessons, which they taught. After classes were over for the day, the pair would put in another half hour of practice before heading home. They also incorporated running, tai chi, kickboxing and other training into their own workouts to improve their strength and stamina.
For Lake and CSA, it was the first time in six years that the program gave out a black belt. For the younger kids in the classes, Korman and Sokal are an inspiration, she said. But while the final test showed off both men's mastery of the physical skills involved in karate, they said the accompanying mental and emotional benefits of years of karate were, in some ways, even more gratifying than the ability to precisely execute each move.
At the end of this month, Korman will leave Baltimore for yeshiva in Beit Shmesh, where he knows no one. As part of his schooling, he must give back to the community in some way, so he plans to teach karate to underprivileged children. Though he'll have to start over in a new place, the ability to spend a portion of his time in a familiar setting doing what he loves makes him more confident.
For Sokal, the nest stage involves swapping his sweats for business attire, as he begins to search for a job in the computer science industry. He completed his bachelor's degree at Towson University in the spring and said karate has given him the confidence to approach the workforce head-on. Because of karate, he said, he no longer fears public speaking, and he has the self-assuredness he needs to approach job interviews with confidence.
"[Having a black belt] is a good thing to put on a resume; it shows that you have discipline and you can work hard whenever they ask you to," he said, adding that a few stripes on the new black belt might also look nice.

Michael Jordan's Birthday Wishes Flood Twitter
Michael Jordan celebrates his 49th birthday Friday and has received numerous messages from celebrities and star athletes via Twitter.
NBA star LeBron James posted on his Twitter account Friday wishing the legendary athlete the best.
"Happy B-day to the person I idolized and wanna be just like as a kid playing the game of basketball Michael Jordan," wrote the Miami Heat player.
Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant wrote, "Happy Birthday to the All-Time Greatest Basketball Player to ever live Michael Jordan!"
"Happy Birthday to the guy who inspired us to fly... Michael Jordan," posted Atlantic Hawks player Tracy McGrady.
Rapper Bun B TrillOG also posted on Twitter: "I'd like to wish Michael Jordan a very happy birthday! I'm so proud to be affiliated with @Jumpman23 #salute."
The Twitter account for Jordan's old team, the Chicago Bulls, paid homage to the 49-year-old.
"13 seasons with the #Bulls, 6 @NBA world championships, 5 NBA MVP awards. Happy Birthday Michael Jordan," wrote the Bulls account, attaching a picture of Jordan standing on a bull painted onto the court.
Singer Darius Rucker took to Twitter with his wishes for the athlete, writing, "Happy Birthday Michael Jordan. The Best Ever. No argument."
Hundreds of NBA and Michael Jordan fans added their best wishes for the athlete on the social media site as well.
Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered essential in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 80s and 90s.
He led the Chicago Bulls to six championships over the span of eight seasons; the two championships the team missed took place while the athlete was playing minor league baseball.
A superior basketball player, Jordan finished his career with 32,292 points, making him third all-time best. He also had 2,514 steals, which is the second best of all time.
In addition to earning the MVP award five times, Jordan was a 14-time All Star, a 6-time Finals MVP, a 10-time 1st team all-NBA, and won Player of the Month honors 16 times. He led the league in points per game ten times.
Today, Jordan works with Nike on numerous clothing and shoe lines, and he is the majority wonder and head of operations for the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.
He became engaged to his long-time girlfriend model Yvette Prieto on Christmas Eve 2011. The couple was spotted earlier this week attending a Bobcats' game together.

Hundreds March Against Racism at University of Alabama
By Jay Reeves
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Several hundred people marched at the University of Alabama to oppose racial segregation among the school's Greek-letter social organizations.
The marchers headed from the university library to the administration building, where the president's office is located. The group was gathered on the steps of the administration building, standing behind a large banner that said "Last stand in the schoolhouse door."
Faculty Senate President Steve Miller had announced the demonstration at a Faculty Senate meeting, where professors spoke out against long-standing racial segregation in fraternities and sororities.
School President Judy Bonner issued a video statement acknowledging the system is segregated by race. She is requiring that sororities belonging to a campus association composed of white sororities begin using a new recruitment process aimed at diversifying the groups.
The allegations that some groups had denied entry to black students were first detailed by the student newspaper, The Crimson White.
"While we will not tell any group who they must pledge, the University of Alabama will not tolerate discrimination of any kind," said Bonner, who became the university's first female president less than a year ago.
The crowd included both students who were members of Greek organizations and those who were not.

Islamabad and Beijing signed a document on Tuesday for bilateral military cooperation after talks between senior Chinese and Pakistani officials.
A high-powered Chinese delegation, led by Deputy Chief of General Staff General Ma Xiaotian, held discussions at Joint Staff Headquarters, Rawalpindi, to kickstart the 9th round of Pak-China Defence and Security talks, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Details of the document were not made public. One military official merely said that it reflected the increasing ongoing cooperation between the two countries. This cooperation, the official added, included high level exchanges, training programmes and intelligence sharing.
During talks with Joint Chief of Staff Chairman General Khalid Shameem Wynne, the Chinese general appreciated the "role played by the people and armed forces of Pakistan, especially the efforts in fighting terrorism." He said the cooperation in different fields between the two Armed Forces will continue with a renewed resolve and commitment towards each other.
The six-member Chinese delegation also called on Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and held in depth discussions on matters of bilateral interest, an official statement said.
The prime minister said, "We are proud of our excellent relations with the People's Republic of China, with whom we have a strategic partnership".
Our cooperation with China on regional and international fora is exemplary, he added. Ashraf said Pakistan attaches great importance to its relationship with China which is time tested and beneficial to both countries.
"We are grateful to our Chinese friends for their assistance in undertaking development projects in Pakistan," he added. He told the visiting Chinese delegation that the political situation in Pakistan had stabilised as the country approaches elections.
"Parliamentary democracy is taking roots in the country," he said.
Congratulating Prime Minister Ashraf on his successful visit to China, General Ma said, "Friendship between China and Pakistan is of strategic significance." He expressed confidence that with the passage of time these relations would deepen further.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I love my Delonghi Icona four slice toaster and it has pride of place on my kitchen work surface. It's an Italian design and really caught my eye when I went looking for a new toaster. I didn't anticipate spending almost £50 ona toaster but as soon as I saw this model I just knew I had to have it. I ordered it online and it was delivered within 48 hours.
I was originally attracted by the red one but finally settled for the aubergine / plum colour as I thought the colours suited the colour scheme in my kitchen better and was slightly more muted. The toaster itself is large enough, but I thought the bright red colour might make it stand out just a little too much.
It looks more complicated to use than it actually is and once you get the hang of the controls it's really very simple to use and I didn't realise how useful and versatile this toaster really is. It's fantastic for toasting anything from thick to thin slices of bread, to bagels, crumpets, teacake and even thick bread buns.
The toasting slots are extra wide and this prevents the bread from sticking inside when the toast is ready and it's popped. I love the fact that I can manually adjust the sizes of the slots to fit the size of the breads I'm toasting and there are two handles on bother sides of the toaster itself so I can easily raise or lower the bread in the slots.
The settings are defrost, bagel, reheat and cancel and when one of them is in use, there is a little indicator light which comes on so I can see at a glance which one is switched on. I also love the fact that I can toast my bread as lightly or as darkly as I want by using the little 0-5 indicator lights. Number five makes darker toast and obviously no 0 makes the lightest toast possible.
I love that it's got a really effective defrost function so now I don't have to wait for my bread to defrost when I'm trying to make toast straight from the freezer. The crumb tray is nice and large and really simple and easy to remove to get rid of the crumbs and then it just slides back in again easily.
The design is modern and yet traditional all at once and I'd imagine it would suit many styles of kitchen. It's a good looking as well as brilliant toaster and I love it.
Highly recommend.
The DeLonghi CTOV4003AZ 4-Slice toaster cleverly combines futuristic and vintage design elements to make a truly iconic toaster / Control is fully variable so you can crisp your toast as you like it and you can operate 2 slots independently of the others / It also adjusts automatically to the thickness of your bread and offers a frozen setting, perfect for when you discover that emergency loaf at the back of the freezer! A 1.8kw rapid toasting function ensures you won't be waiting around and an extra lift position allows you easier access to smaller pieces of bread/bagels / Neon indicators keep you informed of the current settings / A clever reheat facility lets you warm up any excess toast you may have prepared / 2 crumb trays make cleaning a breeze and the whole thing won't move around at inopportune moments thanks to non-slip feet / This product is exclusive to John Lewis / Short name: DeLonghi CTOV4003AZ

As most, if not all of you might remember, Bloomberg reported that the DROID by Motorola sold roughly 100,000 DROID handset units during its first weekend of been launched. Now, we get word that this Motorola smartphone is leading the Android handsets (Droid, myTouch 3G, G1 and HTC Hero) in volume downloads.
This is not a surprising statement, most of us knew from the get-go that the DROID by Motorola was heading to be a success. Data from Flurry Media, a mobile analytics company based in San Francisco, said the following:
* Droid application downloads increased by 93 percent over previous Fridays in December.
* Droid accounted for 48 percent of download volume across the leading Android handsets (Droid, myTouch 3G, G1 and HTC Hero).
As you can see on the graph above; the DROID shows 49 %, and Flurry said 48 %, probably a small error, but still, it is a huge difference when compare to the other Android handsets on that graph. The graph below shows you the download growth on Christmas day, again; no surprise, the DROID by Motorola had the biggest numbers. Are you happy you got the Motorola DROID?

I first encountered the absorbing, beautifully written work of Oklahoma native Rilla Askew in her 2007 novel, Harpsong, for this paper. I've since read her three earlier books and have eagerly anticipated a new one. Whatever topic she tackles, I have faith that Askew will gently yet forcefully knead it into something unforgettable.
Kind of Kin does not disappoint. In fact, it is so good, so cogent and poignant and dead-on perceptive, I would very much like to make it required reading for anyone who harbors strong opinions on immigration policy, on either side of the metaphorical border fence.
She sets Kind of Kin in 2008, among a tight-knit Southeast Oklahoma clan that's cash-poor but rich in extended-family ties. Askew's portrayals of family spats, nitpicking, loyalty and love bring the book much of its laugh-out-loud humor, even amid unsettling and daunting circumstances.
The novel opens with a line that should become an instant classic: "Your grandpa is a felon," Aunt Sweet said. "A felon and a Christian. He says he's a felon because he's a Christian. Now, what kind of baloney is that?"
The speaker, Georgia "Sweet" Brown Kirkendall, is talking about her father, Bob Brown, who's in jail for the crime of allowing 14 illegal Mexican immigrants to take temporary shelter in his barn.
Askew structures the novel, in part, around a 2007 Oklahoma law that made it a felony for U.S. citizens to knowingly provide shelter, transportation or employment to illegal immigrants, and also a follow-up bill to make English the state's official language.
The author focuses the legislative part of the story around a fiercely ambitious female state representative whose main concern is how she looks on camera: She rearranges legislative business and press conferences because her hair stylist has lightened her hair "way too platinum," and getting that fixed takes priority.
Grandpa Bob, having joined forces with a Pentecostal pastor named Jesus (which in itself annoys some of the area's citizens, including Sweet), has not only gone to jail, he intends to stay there, refusing bail or even legal counsel, to make his point about the unfairness of the law. Adding to Bob's burden of conscience is that an in-law, Juanito, has been arrested and deported.
Askew gets right to the intimate heart of the immigration debate via Sweet's interaction with Juanito's daughter Concepción. Sweet adores the child, but wants to call her Connie because, she says, "Concepción was just too, well, Mexican. Not to mention Catholic."
The narrative heats up with the disappearance of Sweet's 10-year-old nephew and the revelation of the family member who turned Bob in.
As the title suggests, everyone here is "kind of kin" — sisters who are more like mother and daughter, a cousin who takes on the role of bullying brother, side-by-side farmers whose families know every teensy detail of one another's lives.
Askew leaves no doubt where she comes down on the immigration issue. But she does it with such grace, deftly juggling multiple narrators and viewpoints, that readers can't help but see that the moral crossroads where the book stands has far more side alleys than you might imagine — and the one you ultimately choose just might not be the track you'd have marked on the map when first setting off on the journey.

Olivia Mote '09 Addresses Indiana Scholarship Banquet
April 8, 2010
April 8, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — "The reason I'm here tonight is largely due to the Lilly Scholarship," said 2009 DePauw University graduate Olivia Mote, who delivered the keynote speech at a scholarship dinner last night for high school students in Indiana's Randolph County. The event honored students who were awarded Lilly Endowment and Pierre Goodrich Community scholarship.
The Winchester News-Gazette reports, "2005 Lilly Scholarship recipient Olivia Mote graduated second in her class at Union City Community High School. She graduated cum laude in 2009 from DePauw University with a double major in religious studies and political science. She is currently pursuing a masters degree in Islamic studies and comparative religions at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio," writes Bill Richmond. "She said the financial freedom that comes with the Lilly Scholarship allowed her to travel the world."
"It provided me with an opportunity to explore professional paths and step back and take a look at where I might fit in," Mote told students at the banquet. "The financial freedom allowed me to focus on my education. I owe a lot to the Lilly Scholarship program, as well as to my parents."
The newspaper adds, "Mote told scholarship hopefuls that regardless of the outcome of the evening's award announcements, they have all exhibited competence, resourcefulness and creativity that will serve them well in their future endeavors."

I am looking for suggestions on an excercise book to improve my id of chord progressions and playing through the chords rather than through the scales. A book that was suggested to me was "The Vandoren Etude and Exercise Book for Saxophone ".
I have been playing since 8th grade and I am now 37. To my detriment I took off my 2nd year of college and picked up 6 years later. I primarily play gospel and jazz.

EU warns US over sanctions against Iran and Libya
The European Union warned the United States Tuesday, July 31, it could become the target of WTO action after the US Congress extended a law punishing firms that do business in the oil and gas industries in Iran and Libya.
EU Commissioner for External Relations Chris Patten said that any action taken against European businesses under the so-called Helms-Burton law would trigger a complaint to the World Trade Organization.
"In April 1997 the European Council decided that the EU would request the re-establishment of a WTO panel against the US should any action be taken against EU companies or individuals under the Helms-Burton Act or ILSA," he said. "That decision still stands."
Patten was responding to the US Congressional decision on July 27 to extend the 1996 Iran and Libya Sanctions Act (ILSA) for another five years. Patten reminded Washington that at the joint EU-US Gothenborg summit in June, the European Union and the United States affirmed their commitment to pursue shared aims.
"In particular, they agreed to work together to promote international security, peace and stability, and to pursue the fight against international terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
"The EU is concerned that this important joint effort could be damaged by continuing US attempts to promote the goal through unilateral extraterritorial laws."
The current sanctions regime, which expires in August, allows the US government to penalize foreign businesses with more than $20 million invested annually in either Iran's or Libya's energy sector. The level had been fixed at $40 million for Tripoli.
The Bush administration — most notably Secretary of State Colin Powell — urged the sanctions be extended only for a two-year period, but they were unsuccessful as lawmakers thought it would send the wrong message to Tehran and Tripoli. ― (AFP, Brussels)

I have previously posted a thread on here about my issues in trying to get USB Loader/Wii flow/ Configurable USB Loader to work on my Wii. The other day, in the process of trying to get my Wii to read games off a USB stick I accidentally discovered that I could play them off an SD card.
I was in the Configurable USB menu and was trying to mount my USB device. It wasn't working, so out of frustration I changed the option from USB device to SD/SDHC card and the thing worked. For some reason I had a game loaded onto the SD card (It was New Super Mario Bros Wii so it was small enough to fit comfortably on my 1GB Sandisk SD Card). Maybe everyone else knew this aready but it was news to me!
Theoretically, would I be able to buy a 32GB or bigger Sd card or micro SD card with SD adaptor, rip games to that devie and let the SD carf take the place of the HDD? I appreciate the capacity of an SD card would be less than that of a HDD, but I was thinking that I could have an SD card specifically for games that my kids like to play and have another one for me.
Could this approach bring any risks? Is it true that Wiis don't ike SDHC cards?

β-Actin (13E5) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total β-actin protein. This antibody may cross-react with the γ-actin (cytoplasmic isoform). It does not cross-react with α-skeletal, α-cardiac, α-vascular smooth, or γ-enteric smooth muscle isoforms.Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Bovine, Pig Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Hamster, Chicken, Dog, Horse
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human β-actin protein.
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry and immunofluorescent analysis in human and monkey cells, respectively. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated β-Actin (13E5) Rabbit mAb #4970.
Actin, a ubiquitous eukaryotic protein, is the major component of the cytoskeleton. At least six isoforms are known in mammals. Nonmuscle β- and γ-actin, also known as cytoplasmic actin, are predominantly expressed in nonmuscle cells, controlling cell structure and motility (1). α-cardiac and α-skeletal actin are expressed in striated cardiac and skeletal muscles, respectively; two smooth muscle actins, α- and γ-actin, are found primarily in vascular smooth muscle and enteric smooth muscle, respectively. These actin isoforms regulate the contractile potential of muscle cells (1). Actin exists mainly as a fibrous polymer, F-actin. In response to cytoskeletal reorganizing signals during processes such as cytokinesis, endocytosis, or stress, cofilin promotes fragmentation and depolymerization of F-actin, resulting in an increase in the monomeric globular form, G-actin (2). The ARP2/3 complex stabilizes F-actin fragments and promotes formation of new actin filaments (2). Research studies have shown that actin is hyperphosphorylated in primary breast tumors (3). Cleavage of actin under apoptotic conditions has been observed in vitro and in cardiac and skeletal muscle, as shown in research studies (4-6). Actin cleavage by caspase-3 may accelerate ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent muscle proteolysis (6).

The centre has been open since 2008 and provides maths and English programmes for students of all ages and abilities. Many of the students at the centre attend schools within the area and live in the local community.
Conveniently located in the Westlands, just a two minute drive from Newcastle-under-Lyme, the Newcastle-upon-Lyme Study Centre is situated at St Peter's Church Hall, the entrance to which is via Pilkington Avenue. The centre provides both a classroom and a room for parents to wait while their children attend the class. Parking facilities are available at the centre.
At present, students at the centre range from three to 14 years of age. Some students study the maths programmes and others the English programme, but a growing number of students have opted to study both subjects. There is a number of assistants at the centre that support the Instructor in helping student's development.
The unique Kumon Maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child by developing confident, independent learners through individualised, advanced study.
Unlike the process of a traditional tuition provider, Kumon encourages students to take their learning into their own hands. The role of the Kumon Instructor is to provide guidance, support and encouragement, allowing the student to develop their own independent learning strategies.

New Delhi: Indian national team goalkeeper, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu made history as he started for Norwegian side Stabaek FC in an Europa League qualifier against Welsh side Connah's Quay Nomads F.C. in an away match in Rhyl. He became the first Indian to play in Europa League.
Sandhu, who signed for Stabaek FC in 2014, in May became the first Indian footballer to play in a top-tier European League, when he featured in Stabaek FC vs IK Start match of the Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League). Stabaek FC won the match 5-0. Sandhu played for 30 minutes before being replaced, as he picked up a finger injury, by Ivorian goalkeeper Sayouba Mande, . The match finally ended 0-0.
Sandhu has been the number one goalkeeper in the Indian team since Stephen Constantine took over in 2015, with the English coach preferring him over veteran Subrata Paul. He has so far played second fiddle to Mande, who is the first choice Stabaek FC goalkeeper. But he has started to make his presence of late.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has reacted to Friday's stalling of the Daylight Saving Bill with "anger" after it was "effectively killed by just a few politicians," according to the group.
The Daylight Saving Bill proposes shifting the UK clocks forward by one hour across the year, meaning longer evenings. Currently we use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) from October to March, and GMT plus one hour for the remainder of the year, called British Summer Time (BST).
Switching to GMT plus one hour from October to March and GMT plus two hours during summer, would see us adopt a system called 'Single/Double Summer Time' (SDST).
The extra daylight in the evening that SDST 'creates' would, says RoSPA, reduce the number of road deaths by 80 per year, and the number of serious accidents by over 200. Those figures are based on a Department for Transport study undertaken in 2009.
Furthermore, reports by the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee during the same year found that the number of cyclists killed or injured would also reduce dramatically if SDST was implemented.
Friday's Parliament session saw the bill talked out of time, however, with a group of ten opposing MPs indulging in time-wasting (albeit legitimate) tactics to ensure it didn't make progress.
If the bill had progressed, it's likely a nationwide trial of SDST would have gone ahead, probably lasting three months.
Opposition is largely based on the fact that under SDST some areas of Scotland wouldn't see daylight until 10am during the three darkest months annually; a similar trial in the '70s made this clear, so to speak.
Responding to the setback, RoSPA's chief executive Tom Mullarkey said: "We are bitterly disappointed that years of campaigning have been unwound so casually in this cynical, and undemocratic, way.
"It is outrageous that a proposal with so much support, and that has the potential to save lives, create jobs and cut carbon emissions, has effectively been wrecked by just two or three politicians.
"They should be ashamed that their contrived interventions have scuppered this opportunity to ease the suffering of many families in this country, the people whose lives they were elected to protect. As such, we call on the Government to either give the Bill more time, or for the Business Minister Ed Davey to conduct a proper review of the evidence for change himself."
RoSPA calls the UK's current time zone "daylight robbery" (geddit), and conducted a survey in October 2011 to gauge the popularity of switching to SDST. After asking "would you like to see an extra hour of evening daylight all year round, across the UK?", more than nine in ten respondents said "yes".

Boca Raton, FL - The Florida Atlantic University baseball team wraps up its three-game season series with nationally ranked University of Miami on Tuesday, April 24, at 6 p.m. in Coral Gables. The Owls will be looking for their first win over the Hurricanes this season.
FAU stands 25-14 on the season and remains in first place in the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) following a 6-2 win over Arkansas State University on April 22. The team has a 13-3 league record.
Miami was ranked 24th in this week's Collegiate Baseball national poll, and have a 26-14 record after being swept by No. 2-ranked Florida State University in a three-game series on April 20-22.
The Hurricanes defeated FAU 10-5 on February 29 in Coral Gables and picked up an 8-5 victory on March 21 in Boca Raton. The Owls won the season series over Miami last year.
Individually, senior infielder Mike Albaladejoleads Florida Atlantic with a .364 batting average, 33 runs and 10 doubles. He is riding a five-game hitting streak and ranks second in the SBC with 55 hits.
Junior first baseman Mark Nelson had a two-run single that started a decisive five-run sixth-inning rally in the victory over Arkansas State. He has driven in 36 runs this season and has a .300 batting average. Nelson is tied with junior outfielder Corey Kellerwith six home runs.
Junior third baseman Kyle Newton is second on the team with a .314 batting average and five home runs. Junior catcher Mike Spanohas a six-game hitting streak and is hitting at a .303 clip.
On the mound, sophomore Kevin Alexander gets the starting assignment for the Owls, returning to the mound for the first time since a victory at Middle Tennessee State University on March 24. The right hander stands 4-0 on the season with a 2.01 earned run average. Also available for pitching chores could be freshman left hander Austin Gomber, who didn't pitch in the last weekend's rain-shortened series with Arkansas State. Gomber has a 3-1 record and 3.15 ERA.
Junior reliever R.J. Alvarez picked up his fourth victory of the season by pitching two scoreless innings on April 22. The right hander was named to the midseason watch list for the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's "Stopper of the Year" Award. Alvarez is 4-0 with a 0.61 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. Senior Ahmed Garciais another valuable bullpen option with a 2-0 record, 1.73 ERA and two saves in 20 appearances.n
Meanwhile, Miami is led by catcher Peter O'Brien, with a .354 batting average, 10 home runs, 38 runs batted in, 11 doubles and 31 runs. He has collected three hits, with one home run, in six at-bats against FAU already this spring. Third baseman Brad Fieger has been another thorn for the Owls, collecting six hits in 10 plate appearances. He is hitting .296 with 19 RBIs for the season. Outfielder Dale Carey is batting .289 at the plate this season.

PRESS RELEASE ~ For immediate release - full distribution ~ YouSearched.Com is proud to unveil the world's first search engine designed to be FULLY ACCESSIBLE for people with disabilities. Search is the second most used application on the Internet after Email but people with disabilities have not been able to fully utilize the capabilities of search engines. YouSearched.Com changes that. "The team at YouSearched.Com believe individuals using the Internet who are disabled, who are blind, who have difficulties distinguishing colours, have low vision, suffer tremors, or varying degrees of paralysis, and others living with disabilities, are as important as any other user", says YouSearched.Com founder Khalid Karrar. " Without meaning to, all other search engines present roadblocks for people with disabilities."

Calendar Event
Reproducibility of Science: P-values and Multiplicity
Dr. James Berger, Department of Statistical Science, Duke University.
Published scientific findings seem to be increasingly failing efforts at replication. This is undoubtedly due to many sources, including
specifics of individual scientific cultures and overall scientific biases such as publication bias. While these will be briefly discussed,
the talk will focus on the all-too-common misuse of p-values and failure to properly account for multiplicities as two likely major
contributors to the lack of reproducibility. The Bayesian approaches to both testing and multiplicity will be highlighted as possible
general solutions to the problem.
To request accommodations such as seating, interpreting, etc. for this event please contact Conference and Event Services at email@example.com or 802-656-5665 in advance of the event.
For more information, contact Meghan Kelly, Department of Mathematics and Statistics at (802) 656-2940 or email@example.com.

Fans will vote with feet if skills get the boot – Gooch
DYING on its feet? Kerry's Colm Cooper stops short of suggesting Gaelic football is in terminal decline, but argues that the patient is ill.
Tactical approaches based around minimising risk and a move away from natural footballers in favour of athletes are some of the reasons why the Dr Crokes sharpshooter believes that the product is waning.
"As a supporter, I go to matches to see that little bit of brilliance, that little bit of class," Cooper said.
"I love to see the competitive, the fair shoulder, the hitting, that stuff as well, but I think if you take the class and the brilliance and the elegance of players out, it will be a lesser game because of it. At the moment, that's happening more and more. That's worrying, to be honest."
Now 30, Cooper played in his first All-Ireland final in 2002 when he lined out against Armagh, weighing just 10stone.
There are, he says, more questions than answers about how to improve the game as a spectacle, but believes people are voting with their feet and not turning up to games in the numbers they once did.
"If it continues to go the way it is, you'll see attendances dropping. You need to safeguard the skills of the game and the skilful players in the game," he said.
"My worry is, an 18 or 19 year-old now, who is 5ft 10ins, carrying no weight – he might be the most skilful guy in the county and the best player in the county championship, but will he be picked by the county team? I'd have my doubts.
"It's going that way, yeah. Not in all counties, but it seems to be a worrying trend that the more athletic guy is more likely to make it than the more skilful guy and, to me, that's not right."
Now weighing in at 12 stone, Cooper is better able to cope with the rigours of inter-county football. But, after admitting frustration at having to operate in the congested area around the full-forward line, he looks rejuvenated at centre-forward, a role he often plays for his club.
He'll most likely fill that position when Cork and Kerry clash in Sunday week's Munster SFC final and Cooper believes Kerry can still win All-Irelands playing a more orthodox game.
"That's Kerry and Cork's way and the way it has traditionally been done. I don't see it changing any time soon. It has served us pretty well down through the years, I don't think there will be a radical change. It's just the way we were brought up playing football."
Kerry's team for the showdown with Cork will have a slightly less familiar look to it. Cooper's clubmates Fionn Fitzgerald and Johnny Buckley have established themselves in Eamon Fitzmaurice's starting 15 following the Kingdom's facile Munster SFC wins over Tipperary and Waterford.
They built on the steady improvement since the early rounds of the league. After those February defeats to Mayo and Dublin, the new wave were held up as unworthy successors to the side that has collected five All-Irelands since the turn of the millennium. And Cooper agrees that the upcoming Munster final has a renewed significance as the newcomers look to prove a point against their fiercest rivals.
"They got plenty of stick. We have guys in our squad that don't have a Munster medal. People talk about the Kerry squad being very successful with Munster, league and All-Ireland medals, but a lot of guys don't have that. So, playing in Killarney with your own crowd, they'll be very eager to get a victory – and it's the same with the older guys. Sure, it's a Munster final.
"I love playing Cork and once the rivalry is still there between the sides, the fixture will never diminish."

Well, the next round of chefs competed this week on Top Chef Masters. It was interesting to see another set of professionals, but I'm still not sure how I feel about the host, Kelly Choi. What do you think of her? To discuss that and much more,
- So, after a couple of episodes, has Choi grown on you?
- Is the Frenchman, Ludo, hot or what?
- Do the masters not understand the time constraints?
- Why is there always that one chef who forgets something major?
- When Ludo was talking about cooking the pig's ears didn't he sound like Stefan?! "If you want to be the master, you need to know about food. I know how to cook the pig ear. I know cook the tripe, the tongue, the heart."
- Does Wilo's accent remind you of Ingrid Hoffmann from the Food Network?
- Ears, heart, stomach, tongue: which one are you most inclined to eat?
- Do you know how to use a pressure cooker?
- How do you feel about the judges? Gail? James? Jay?
- Could Bayless go all the way?

Build progress report
(Photo - Then and now. The completed hall, with a glimpse of its condition in 2014)
WORK ON THE MAIN HALL is now complete. The stripped wood roof trusses and oiled, natural wood finish of the main doors are complemented by an attractive oak plank floor, beneath which efficient underfloor heating gives the room a cosy warmth.
The large glass windows and surrounding white walls flood the hall with bright light. In one corner a short staircase with glass sides gives access to the main office and then on to the "green room".
The annexe still awaits final fitting out and the steel-framed foyer still awaits its glass but one can already appreciate the wonderful building that will be TGS. Completion is expected in late January with final handover from the builder in mid-February.
