Say Hello to the New Getty Villa Malibu
At long last, the new, fabulously improved Getty Villa Malibu opens on Saturday. After extensive renovations—this was the original home of the Getty Museum—the Villa will reopen as an educational center and museum dedicated to ancient Greek and Roman art and culture. How to score tix? The process for free admission is the same as the stupendous Getty Center that we know and love (I admit it: I've lured friends and family to the top of that hill just to walk the grounds and gape at the architecture, gardens and view. Forget the art, this is the best vista in all of LA!) Advance, timed tickets are required for each individual and can be obtained online or by calling (310) 440-7300. Parking is 7 dollars a car. (Take note: the Villa is closed on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays.)

Issues surrounding the classification of accounting information
The act of classifying information created by accounting practices is ubiquitous in the accounting process; from recording to reporting, it has almost become second nature. The classification has to correspond to the requirements and demands of the changing environment in which it is practised. Evidence suggests that the current classification of items in financial statements is not keeping pace with the needs of users and the new financial constructs generated by the industry. This study addresses the issue of classification in two ways: by means of a critical analysis of classification theory and practices and by means of a questionnaire that was developed and sent to compilers and users of financial statements. A new classification framework for accounting information in the balance sheet and income statement is proposed.

Unlike Andy Reid, who began his news conference with a long list of injuries, Giants coach Tom Coughlin was keeping things close to the vest, as he usually does.
Asked specifically about the health of running back Brandon Jacobs and defensive tackle Fred Robbins, Coughlin said: "They seem to be doing okay. I am not going to say what their status will be on Wednesday. We will take full advantage of today and tomorrow to get ourselves closer to that. But hopefully we can work even if it is in a limited basis. But we will see."
The Giants ended the regular season with losses in three of their last four. The Eagles have now won five of six after Sunday's victory over Minnesota. So, who has the momentum?
"Any time you lose you are upset and anytime you win you feel pretty good about it," Coughlin said. "But it never stops your ability to try to improve, to make corrections, to get your team individually and as a group playing better. And that is the thing that we have been focusing on. So that is what is most important to me. The regular season is over, whatever the numbers might be. We have been cast into a situation where we had the bye. You heard me say that I thought the bye was good for our team. I don't know that I would necessarily say that every year. In this case, I thought it was. And so therefore we worked, we studied, and had an opportunity to have a weekend without a game and now we are back to work."
The Giants clinched a playoff berth on the day they lost to the Eagles when the Cowboys lost later that afternoon. The perception is the Eagles had much more to play for when the teams met in December and the Giants were not at their best. Coughlin was having none of that, either.
"I don't know about that. I wouldn't say that. I think we missed opportunities. We missed three fourth-downs that would have made, I think, a difference in the game; a fourth-and-four, and fourth-and-three, and a fourth-and-one. We had some opportunities we really didn't take advantage of much. It was almost like a reversal of the first game over in Philadelphia where the scores weren't – it wasn't necessarily a high scoring game but time of possession was quite imbalanced. When we were over there it was in our favor. When Philadelphia was here it was in their favor. We had some outstanding rushing stats over there. They had some over here. So it was a game that was, as usual, a very, very physical game – as it always is. We didn't take advantage of the opportunities that we had."
Obviously, plenty more on Giants-Eagles coming in tomorrow's Daily News.

By Horace Blake
The post-civil rights movement of past decades has taken a new focus on several hot topics such as equal pay for women, health information privacy and confidentiality, Americans with disabilities, gender equality and defining marriage and family. Many "baby boomers" reaching retirement age has also inspired an onslaught of age discrimination activities under the disguise of restructuring. This is of importance as many private sector employers are contractors of the federal, state and municipal governments that utilize public funds for the implementation of contracts, thus subjecting these organizations to additional scrutiny by the law.
It must be clear to distinguish civil rights as being what a nation's inhabitants enjoy based on the law, meaning this has a legal and philosophical framework. These laws are guaranteed by the Constitution such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the voice of the press, due process of the law and equal protection under the law. In terms of human rights, the premise is based on a framework that protects civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. In examining civil and human rights, that is guided by moral factors, more emphasis has to be placed on the word of the law in order to ensure an adequate framework that serves as support, enforcement, evaluation and dissemination to be effective in our civil society.
History and Timeline of Civil Rights in the United States
There are several milestones to reflect on historical civil rights. In 1948, President Truman signed into law Executive Order 9981, which stated, "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin. This was followed in 1954 through The Supreme Court ruling in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The high court unanimously agreed that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This ruling was the impetus that paved the way for larger scale reviews of other practices and actions that were discriminatory. During the 1960s, the South experienced upheaval in terms of voting rights issues, transportation, employment, hospitality accommodations, housing and educational opportunities for mostly African-Americans. This gave rise to a multi-racial group of civil rights advocates and most important Dr. Marin Luther King, who became the face of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and the 1960s. This turbulent period had some very dark days that overshadowed other important societal development in a robust economy.
As President Johnson took over the office of the presidency, he signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which encompassed the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. A year later in 1965, President Johnson issued Executive Order 11246 which enforced affirmative action for the first time. It required government contractors to "take affirmative action" toward prospective minority employees in all aspects of hiring and employment. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination of all kinds based on race, color, religion or national origin as well as providing for the federal government with the powers to enforce desegregation.
This was not a cure all as it became necessary to revisit the civil rights issue again. After many delays and threats of vetoes, President Bush signed the Civil Rights Act of 1991 which strengthened existing civil rights laws and provided for damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination. Here the discussion arose why there was the need to revisit this law yet again. The answer became evident that almost two decades after the Presidents' signing, the Civil Rights Act of 2008 was introduced with proposed provisions to include ensuring that federal funds are not used to subsidize discrimination, holding employers accountable for age discrimination and improving accountability for other violations of civil rights and workers' rights.
Human Rights Framework
Human rights are guided by principles of accountability, transparency, participation, indivisibility, universality and non-discrimination. These principles are focused on the notion that everyone should be afforded this right without exception. Citizens should also have the right to participate in how decisions are made regarding protection of their rights. Responsibilities are placed on government to have very clear mechanisms in place to enforce or resolve issues related to abuse of human rights.
Recently there came about several public cases related to human rights abuses here in the U.S. These cases were based on human trafficking, which is challenging to the American values such as wages paid and other accommodating factors that decides how work is accomplished and compensated for. An Asian diplomat, after initially promising her immigrant housekeeper a good living wage, employed the housekeeper for much less than the minimum wages allowed in this country. Agents raided several locations in the city of Houston and found human trafficking violations as individuals were kept in forced labor with promises of opportunities that were never intended to be realized. This also brought to light that Texas is one of the top areas for human trafficking due to its expansive border and coastline. As stated by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, there must be a concerted effort to ensure that trafficked persons are given access to effective and appropriate legal remedies. Also where applicable intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations should consider taking measures adopted for the purpose of preventing and combatting trafficking that would not have any adverse impact on the rights, dignity and health of persons including those who have been trafficked.
The civil rights law surrounding age discrimination and improving accountability for other violations of civil rights and workers' rights has been suggested to be up for review by the Congress.

FOREX FORECAST CURRENCY INVESTORS. ANALYSIS Buz On Cannabis, Forex Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency ,Geared toward Social Traders and Social Investing Earning
Oculus Touch Release Date Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is leading the virtual reality (VR) industry through "Oculus," which is preparing to launch its latest product, the Oculus "Touch" VR motion controllers.
The social network giant bought the virtual reality technology company for $2.0 billion in 2014 as part of its strategy to ensure its long-term growth. Many believe that Oculus could help boost Facebook stock since virtual reality is the latest trend in the technology industry.
Oculus Touch Release Date
Some people in the technology industry are speculating that the Oculus Touch VR motion controllers would be available in the market during the holiday shopping season, probably in November or December.
The speculations were based on the fact that Facebook's Oculus team are scheduled to provide more details about the hardware during the Oculus "Connect 3" event on October 5–7 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in California.
The release date and price for the Oculus Touch is still uncertain, but one thing is sure: the motion controllers support more than 30 virtual reality games. The company has already promised that 20 games are "brand new" and specifically created for the hardware, and that hundreds more are in development. (Source: "Over 30 Full Games Launching with Oculus Touch this Year," Oculus VR, June 13, 2016.)
The company has released a fun and exciting preview of some of the Oculus Touch games. Just watching the preview, I could tell that the controllers offer precise hand tracking.
The ergonomics of the Oculus Touch make it a winner because it fits perfectly in the hands of the players. The buttons and joysticks of the controllers are placed where the fingers can control them easily and naturally. I am convinced that the controller offers a new level of virtual reality experience that is truly appealing, engaging, and immersive. Many gamers are already excited and patiently waiting for its arrival.

The strike will take place between 1pm and 3pm with other walkouts planned for 19th and 28 January
The Staff at London's most prestigious museum the National Gallery walk out for two hours today in a protest over job cuts. The gallery said it will try to keep the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition open but could not guarantee it. A gallery spokesman stated; "The National Gallery will endeavour to keep as many gallery rooms open as possible, prioritising the 'Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan' exhibition to fulfil its obligation to people who already have tickets for that day."
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) decided to call the action over cuts to the arts which has seen staff cuts of guards and other museum workers in some rooms cut by half. "The National Gallery will endeavour to keep as many gallery rooms open as possible, prioritising the 'Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan' exhibition to fulfil its obligation to people who already have tickets for that day," a gallery spokesman said.
Before the Christmas holiday, over 200 members of gallery staff, including curators, presented gallery director Nicholas Penny with a petition demonstrating their opposition to new measures which mean each gallery assistant now oversees two rooms rather than one. Whilst gallery officials maintain that this initiative is part of a long-term strategy rather than a response to government pressure, those in opposition claim that the change of policy is detrimental to the gallery as it will leave valuable artworks open to vandalism or theft. Security in general seems to be a growing concern at the National Gallery, as this month saw a theft take place, albeit a bizarre one; a man managed to leave the gallery in possession of four toilet seats. Negotiations, mediated by the Public and and Commercial Services Union, have been held between officials and gallery staff but apparently to no avail, as almost 180 members of staff voted for strike action in an initial ballot.
The strike will now take place between 1pm and 3pm 1300 GMT and 1500 GMT with other walkouts planned for 19th and 28 January. Union officials have stated that 15-percent cuts in government funding, introduced as part of an austerity measure designed to reduce the overall budget deficit, has led to a reduction of assistant posts where there is no longer one assistant on duty per room.
The PCS General Secretary Mark Serwotka said: "As well as hosting high-profile exhibitions like Da Vinci, the gallery is home to some incredibly valuable works of art, not just in monetary terms but in their contribution to culture and our society.
The Spokesman added; "Instead of investing in the arts, and the people who look after them, the government has imposed massive spending cuts on our museums and galleries to pay for an economic crisis caused by bankers."

Construction industry given boost as 230,000 new building jobs created
A BUILDING boom will see 230,000 jobs created in the UK in the next five years.
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) predicted an average annual growth of 2.5% by 2021.
New nuclear power stations and rail projects will drive growth in the sector and help to create some 232,000 jobs.
It will provide employment to hundreds of thousands of out-of-work labourers.
"This positive forecast should inspire more people"Steve Radley, policy director at the CITB
Fresh nuclear plants will be built at Hinkley Point, Somerset, and Wylfa, north Wales.
The massive Crossrail and HS2 rail projects will also lead to new jobs in the next few years.
Steve Radley, policy director at the CITB, said apprenticeships would be vital.
He said: "This positive forecast should inspire more people to start apprenticeships and more firms to take them on."
Other workers in demand will be carpenters and electricians.
The CITB has called for more apprentices to pick up tools and join the construction industry.
Chancellor George Osborne last year announced a scheme to fund 3million apprentices for British companies.

Should Housing Developers be Required to Build Affordable Housing?
Sometimes called "Fair Share Allocation", Inclusionary Zoning is a regulation that requires a certain percentage of all residential dwelling units be priced at a level that is affordable to persons in certain low income ranges, and stay in that price range for years into the future. Such a program was considered and rejected for the Greensboro Comprehensive Plan.
Such programs are rare due to their controversial nature. Inclusionary Zoning is a local government foray into price controls in a private sector market where there is no monopoly or anti-trust issue, and where government regulation can be shown to be substantially responsible for the costs it seeks to "cut" with pricing controls. What's more, it exacerbates the cost problems for all other housing price levels, as the price of regular units rise in order to subsidize the "affordable" units. And buyers of the "affordable" units are not allowed to enjoy full appreciation and equity building – one of the main reasons to own a home in the first place.
A typical ordinance might require 20% of dwelling units to be priced and sold to families making 60% of the city's median household income (for a family of 4, this would be about a $95,000 sale price in our area), and to abide by those rules for all resales for some period of time, such as 15 years. Some programs require that the subsidized units look much like the more expensive units in the development, and be interspersed with the other units, not set off in a cluster of their own. Incredibly, the government has thereby:
priced units, thereby raising those prices and reducing the supply of entry- level housing,
thereby widening the gap between rich and poor, as those who don't
qualify for subsidies find fewer and fewer units they can afford
allowed to accumulate, and
The workforce of our cities: the teachers, nurses, secretaries, factory workers, firemen and police who do not qualify for subsidized housing, will be less and less able to find housing in the price ranges they can afford. Discussion of Affordable Housing has for too long ignored the needs of this segment of the population. We absolutely MUST start paying attention to the needs of a healthy Workforce Housing supply. It is essential to successful Economic Development strategies.
Do not lose sight of the reason America, NC, and Triad governments have made strong commitments to homeownership in everything from the FHA loan program to mortgage interest deductibility to the local dedicated funding source for programs – The accumulation of equity that comes with homeownership is the foundation of individual financial independence, and thereby reduces the demands on, and costs of, government social services. Inclusionary Zoning runs counter to this tenet. Inclusionary Zoning defeats all the purposes of all other programs designed to promote housing affordability.

3 campaign for 2 seats on Kenneth City council
By ANNE LINDBERG
© St. Petersburg Times, published March 7, 2001
KENNETH CITY -- A newcomer is squaring off against two incumbents for the two Town Council seats available in Tuesday's election.
Teresa Zemaitis, a familiar face at council meetings, is making her first run for public office against Al Carrier, who wants a second term, and Russ Dumont, who wants to serve his first full term.
Zemaitis' many goals include free access to the county library system, improving parks, and finding a way to help residents afford to participate in other cities' recreational programs.
Her decision to run for the council came after its members voted last month to renew the town's garbage contract with Waste Management Inc. More than 400 residents signed a petition asking that the contract be put out for bids, but the council ignored those pleas.
That decision frustrated her, she said, because the council members maintain they want to do what the people want, but refused to listen to the residents when asked.
"I have been very disappointed the past year when they would not listen to the residents," Zemaitis said. "I think the Waste Management issue is what pushed me over."
First on her agenda, if she's elected, is a plan that would make it easier and less expensive for town residents to use the county library system. Because Kenneth City is not a member of the consortium, residents are charged $100 for a library card. The town reimburses $75 of that, but the resident is still required to have the $100 when applying for the card.
Zemaitis said she has talked with officials from the library system and has been told that it's possible to change the system so a Kenneth City resident gets the card and the town is billed for it. That way, the town would pay the full amount and the resident would not have to wait to be reimbursed.
"At this point, all that would be needed is council approval and it would only cost them an additional $25 per person," Zemaitis said.
The town's parks also need attention, she said. The park next to Town Hall needs to be planted with low-maintenance greenery to give people a place to sit in the shade and relax. As for the park next to Community Hall, that needs to be refurbished, she said.
Strengthening enforcement of the town's truck ordinance is also important to her. Zemaitis said she has heard complaints that trucks are traveling up 46th Avenue, despite the "no trucks" sign. She vowed to meet with police Chief Jim Ernst to discuss improving enforcement along that street.
Zemaitis said she is also concerned about the high costs of recreation. Because Kenneth City offers no after-school programs or activities for handicapped children or other organized recreation, residents must go to other cities, such as St. Petersburg or Pinellas Park, so their children can participate. But there are often fees for non-residents.
"It would be nice if we could help defer the costs somehow, or make some kind of arrangements to help them out," Zemaitis said.
Zemaitis also wants to work on annexing property into Kenneth City. Annexations would help increase the tax base, she said. And it should be easy to encourage some people on the town's borders to come in because many are worried about being swallowed by Pinellas Park.
But primarily, she said, her goal is to work peacefully with the rest of the council to work out any problems that arise.
Dumont has served on the council since last spring when he was appointed, over Zemaitis and other candidates, to complete the term of Chuck Webber. Webber left the council after he took a job helping Pinellas Park annex property.
Dumont wants to serve his first full term on the council to maintain the status quo.
"Things are going good and I want to keep it going that way. Nice and smooth," Dumont said."There really isn't a lot of controversy now."
Dumont said the town's tax base is increasing as the Willow Lakes condominiums near completion. Helping that happen has been one of his goals since becoming a council member.
Another goal is annexation, though it must be done in an orderly manner. Dumont said the town probably could use a part-time professional with annexation experience to help.
Carrier wants to serve a second term on the council to complete what he has started in this term.
"I just feel as though I can do this town a great deal of good, and I've done it a great deal of good since I've been here," Carrier said.
Right now, he is concentrating on Kenneth City's drainage system. The cleaning and photographing of all the town's drainage pipes should be complete next week. The next step, he said, is to make a list of all the problems and prioritize them. After that is done, the repairs can be made as money permits.
"You only have so much money, you can't spend more than you have," Carrier said. "Although some of them are in bad condition, you can wait a year or two."
Carrier took credit for some accomplishments while on the council. One of those was improving the park next to Town Hall. Another is improving the image of the Kenneth City Department of Public Works.
At one time, he said, residents criticized the department, wondering what its employees did all day. Now, he said, residents have a better idea of what work is being done.
"I'm on top of what they're doing. I make sure people understand what they're doing," Carrier said. "These people are doing their job. They're doing it very diligently."
The job
The Kenneth City Town Council is a nonpartisan body of four members and the mayor who oversee the town government. Each member has charge of a government department. They meet as a group at least twice a month, once in a regular meeting and once in a workshop. Council members earn $300 a month. Kenneth City has a population of about 4,400.
The candidates
Zemaitis is a native of Queens, N.Y., who moved to Kenneth City a little more than four years ago. Since coming to Kenneth City, she has covered town government for the Sentinel, a community newspaper that no longer publishes; served on the Activities Committee, which helped establish the Kenneth City Library; and served on the Capital Improvements Committee. She is a teaching partner at Westgate Elementary, teaching reading. She is married and has a daughter.
ASSETS: Home, car.
LIABILITIES: Mortgage.
SOURCE OF INCOME: Westgate Elementary.
BACKGROUND: He is a retired production supervisor for Honeywell in Clearwater. He was appointed to the council last year to serve Chuck Webber's unfinished term. Dumont has served as head of the Make Kenneth City Safer Committee, which campaigned last spring to abolish the Police Department in favor of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. He is married and has three daughters, one son and two grandchildren.
ASSETS: Home, car and stock investments.
LIABILITIES: None.
SOURCE OF INCOME: Social Security, pension, investments, council salary.
Carrier has served on the Kenneth City Town Council since 1999.

Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers - 10/10/14 NBA Preseason Pick, Odds, Prediction
Indiana Pacers vs. Orlando Magic
NBA Basketball: Friday, October 10, 2014 at 07:00 pm (Bankers Life Fieldhouse)
The Line: See the Latest Odds
The Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers will play Friday night preseason ball at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Orlando Magic won their first preseason game of the year with a 108-101 overtime win over the Miami Heat. The Magic shot a solid 45.5 percent from the field and 35 percent from three, all while turning the ball over 16 times in five periods. Nikola Vucevic led the Magic with 16 points and Dewayne Dedmon grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench. Prized rookie Aaron Gordon played 29 minutes, shooting 2-6 from the field and grabbing eight rebounds while showcasing his elite athleticism throughout the game. While Orlando fans may not have had much hope for Devyn Marble, he did knock down three of his four three-ball attempts, scoring 13 points in as many minutes. Overall, the Orlando Magic played one of the more complete preseason games we've seen so far.
USA TODAY Sports
The Indiana Pacers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-90 in their first preseason games. While the Pacers made only 25 percent of their threes, they did knock down 48.2 percent from the field. George Hill led Indiana with 17 points, while Shayne Whittington and Lavoy Allen were the other two players who scored in double digits. With no Lance Stephenson or Paul George, the Indiana Pacers are desperate to find guys who can put the ball in the hoop, which is why nearly their entire roster is getting a look throughout these games. Roy Hibbert grabbed five rebounds and had eight points in 16 minutes, as he looked a lot more comfortable than he did in the second half of last season. The Pacers need all hands on deck if they're even going to make playoffs this year.

Gale, as your facilitator, begins the hypnotic guided imagery with a gentle, progressive full body relaxation into hypnosis so you directly communicate with your subconscious. It is certain that we all have experienced disappointments and failures of one sort or another. Consciously, we may put them out of our mind and move on. However, subconsciously speaking, these events often initiate negative emotions and negative thoughts about failing that in turn automatically create (outside your awareness) low self-esteem subconscious programs. Low self-esteem beliefs that may have been downloaded are: "I am not good enough; I am not smart enough; I am not talented enough; I am not successful; I cannot succeed; I am a failure; it hurts too much to fail, so I won't risk failure; I won't try, so I will be safe". Such mindsets are capable of sabotaging your success.
This audio helps you target/delete your faulty mindsets/ beliefs, or whatever is interfering with your success. Then, as you listen, you are proactively downloading into your computer-like subconscious mind positive reprogramming hypnosis suggestions that reinforce your new, natural way of being totally at ease, feeling very positive as you give your top performance consistently. Some more benefits include being able to:
Release/neutralize/delete your negative emotions that self-sabotage
Build strong self-confidence, trust, and belief in yourself, easily ensuring success
Program positive perspectives to motivate, empower you and help you learn from past mistakes
Forgive others and you, too, in order to release subconscious guilt, especially guilt about past performances

Suzuki has no plans to pull out of a joint venture with General Motors despite putting its production at the Canadian plant on indefinite hold this year, a senior executive says.
"The market has been terrible," said Gene Brown, American Suzuki's vice president of marketing and public relations.
"But that doesn't mean we're going to withdraw from the venture."
Brown said he wasn't in a position to discuss when Suzuki might resume production at Canadian Automotive Manufacturing, the company's only assembly plant in North America.
GM recently pulled out of a joint venture in the US state of California with Suzuki's Japanese rival Toyota, as the largest US automaker restructured under bankruptcy.
Toyota, the world's largest carmaker, is now considering closing the California assembly plant.
The Canadian plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, builds GM's Chevrolet Equinox, a sport utility vehicle which features prominently in the automaker's future plans as it edges out of the shadow of bankruptcy.
Suzuki was building its XL7, also a sport utility vehicle, at the plant before suspending its production - along with two sedans - after auto sales collapsed last fall.
The vehicles made up a substantial portion of the Japanese automaker's North American lineup, but its sales have dropped by nearly 40 per cent this year after making steady gains in the middle of the decade.

In the spirit of Horace Miner, this thought-provoking yet accessible collection of articles (primarily written by American anthropologists on American mainstream culture) casts mainstream USA in the role of the "Other".
It address traditional ethnographic categories covered by anthropologists—myth and ritual, economy and power, language and ideology-with theoretically meaty articles, geared toward an undergraduate audience.
The authors, whether or not their subject matter is ephemeral, arrive at enduring conclusions so that the anthology has staying power; even though there are those who would state that the U.S. is too diverse to have any one culture. (It acknowledges diversity; while stressing how something that can reasonably be called "U.S. culture" emerges from and shapes the cultures of our component populations.)
In addition, the collection is headed by a classic short piece, modeled after Horace Miner's "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema."

The Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA), passed by the Legislature in 2007, put in place a licensing agreement with TransCanada that envisioned construction of a large-diameter gas pipeline from the North Slope to Canada or Valdez, or perhaps both, depending on what markets potential gas shippers might be focusing on.
AGIA includes a provision that the state reimburse TransCanada for up to $500 million that it spends on pre-construction work and to prepare an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, due in 2012.
Much of the political debate at the time was over Exxon's role in the project, primarily because Exxon is the major natural gas producer on the North Slope. Concerns were raised over whether it was fair that the state pay Exxon to do what it would do anyway - produce and sell natural gas into a pipeline.
Exxon has never signed on to the license agreement between TransCanada and the state, but within days after the agreement was finalized TransCanada officials made it clear that Exxon was a vital partner in the project.
According to testimony before the Alaska Legislature earlier this month, as of the end of June, the state will either have paid or will owe TransCanada about $125 million. Gov. Sean Parnell has asked for another $160 million for fiscal year 2012, which begins July 1.
TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard said that TransCanada, as the AGIA licensee, seeks the reimbursement and then receives it from the state. The company then "shares the reimbursement with Exxon Mobil," he said.
Howard said TransCanada won't reveal how much state money it has passed on to Exxon, citing confidentiality agreements.

I have not been paid as an affiliate for the past 9 months from this affiliate program
Aptimus - an Apollo Group, Inc. Company
4025 Riverpoint Pkwy
Phoenix, AZ 85040
We were an affiliate of theirs for about 4 years and they paid right along each month until 9 months ago when they stopped paying and I was told I had to submit an invoice to be paid, so I did. For the past 5 months I have submitted 6 different invoices and they never sent payment they just kept saying to submit another invoice. This is just giving us the run around and they don't have any plans of paying.
Since this has happened before where a company decides not to pay after years of paying on a regular basis, what can us affiliates do and where can we file a report to try to get paid?
July 10th, 2008, 10:15 AM #2
Have you spoken with Thomas McCarty (415) 896-2123 ?
If not, may I suggest that you do, making sure to note that you have posted here on ABW and that we are all awaiting news of payment. If he fails to complete please circle back and we'll point you in the right directions.
I always believe it's best to solve the issue of non-payment with the company directly, you'll be amazed at how responsive companies are once the right people know that there is an issue outstanding .Continued Success,

Hey SueSue,
There isn't much you can do to "force" a payment but many times it's easier to pay a pesky affiliate than let them linger on creating a nuisance. The question is, "how much do they owe you and is it worth your time collecting?"
Probably NOT what you wanted to hear but from someone who's been in the situation from both ends, I know what I'm talking about! I am guessing it isn't too much they owe you given because it doesn't seem you have a direct relationship with the affiliate manager, correct?
If you do, contact them first! Although he / she may not have the final say in your getting paid, they can share vital information with you. Remember, for the most part, affiliate managers are / were affiliates themselves and don't like being forced to screw affiliates...

I have had 11 email communications with
Ron Allen, Controller
Aptimus, Inc.
In Feb. he told me to postal mail the invoice which I did.
Since I got no payment, I emailed him and asked what should I do now?
He told me to email the invoices to him and I did all he asked of how he wanted the invoices and sent them to him as he asked. I have emailed invoices over and over again, about every 2 weeks, with no payment ever being made to me.
In May he asked me to put a due date on the invoice so I put May 31st, plenty of time to pay since the invoice was mailed to him the first week in May. Then since no payment came I sent another invoice in June and asked for a payment due date of June 30th, well no payment again.
They are just giving the run around, no one should have to invoice the same bills to them over and over again to be paid. They used to pay without needing an invoice and now they just ignore the invoices.
I do not know who Thomas McCarty (415) 896-2123 is, can you tell me who this is?

Based on what you've presented, there's no question that you should have been paid long ago but as we all know, there's always three sides to every story. Without Ron or Thomas' participation, we'll need to presume you're getting stiffed.
The invoicing, seems to me, a ploy to hold you off for a while. While there could be many logical reasons for requesting and invoice, your not getting paid after submission tells us you're getting the run-around.
I do not know who Thomas McCarty is aside from him being the senior VP of affiliate management. I've been around the block and seen quite a bit. Trying to get your money is taxing on your time and nerves. Moreover, it'll get nasty. More precisely, you'll need to do nasty little things because unfortunately, scammers tend to respond to getting hit hard and fast and repeatedly.
I do not recommend this unless they owe you money you cannot afford to lose. Could this be an expensive lesson?
July 10th, 2008, 12:20 PM #7
Definitely call. But if you send another invoice, be sure to add a note that past due amounts will be charged a 1% per month interest fee. This is a very reasonable fee and is common on invoices. A late payment fee is often noted on all invoices - and also often ignored. Check any invoice you have from a doctor's office.
Affiliate payments are never penalized like that for being late, but he did ask you for an invoice...Brad Waller | VP, Business and Affiliate Development

Did you finally resolve this problem and if yes, how did you resolve it
I think it is important for us affiliate marketers to know about this. There are a few threads in the forums about none payment of affiliate commissions due

This essay
has a total of
words and 4 pages.
Period 1
Radishes Respond to music
Phillip Chiu, Period 1
The question I will be addressing is "Does music affect radish growth?" This seemed like a good idea to research and experiment on because I wanted to know if a plant could really "hear" or if vibrations through the air, which is sound, really affects the growth of the plant. I will be testing this using different types of music including rock, jazz, and classical music.
The radish (raphanus sativus), a root crops which is very easy to grow. Radishes are cold hardy but cannot withstand heat. In the South, they grow in the fall through spring, and in the North, they grow well in the spring or fall. Some interesting types of radishes I came upon in reading my information were the "Round Black Spanish" and the "Sakurajima Mammoth" radishes. The Round Black Spanish radishes are black, as their name says, and the Sakurajima Mammoth can grow to be up to 70 pounds! (Doty, 1973)
In my research, I found no information regarding plant growth and music. I also did not find any information around the subjects of plants hearing, or vibrations that help plants grow. Therefore I cannot do any more than guess blankly for my hypothesis of this project. My hypothesis is \'I do not think music will affect plant growth because plants cannot hear.\'
Literature cited
Doty, Walter L, Copyright 1990, All About Vegetables, San Ramon, California, The Monsanto Company, 144 pages
And for alphabetizing purposes only Zifferman, Zeke, Copyright 1998, Zealot Radishes, Fremont California, The Zifferman Company, 999pages
Phase 3: Results and Observations
Results and Observations:
There were many observations recorded on this experiment. (I have not yet finished the experiment, but I will take the results from the book The Sounds of Music and Plants for this phase of the project.) For this experiment I used 2 types of music. I used hard rock and classical. I used CD\'s and played them on a CD player on repeat. This eliminated all the possibilities of interstation noise, such as static found on the radio, affecting the experiment. The real results are as follows:
Day 1 (after germination) - classical and rock music plants are barely peeking above soil.
Day 2 - No change
Day 3 - The plants in the classical music group are growing at the same rate as the rock plants.
Day 4 - The classical group is a minute bit taller than the rock group.
Day 5 - no change
Day 6 - no change
Day 7 - The classical group is more significantly taller than the rock group.
I can not make up that many results. It would be pointless. What you see here is a mix of what I think and what the book says. For the quantitative part of the results, I will make a table, but will not fill in any information. For the sake of time, for I know that you will not take time to read fake results.

Orange juice preferences terrific, yet not when it's from concentrate. In this write-up, I will certainly supply you with lots of techniques as well as pointers so that you could make your very own tasty juices making use of fresh fruit that comes right from a regional grocery shop or your yard.
It's an excellent suggestion to include veggies to your juices to obtain even more nutrients from it. You obtain rid of the pulp from your juice, you could utilize a coffee filer and also pressure the pulp out. If you do not occur to such as pulp, you might desire to make use of a coffee filter or cheese towel to stress your juice.
Juice could really be an entire dish unto itself. When you've made juice a pair of times, you'll be able to figure out just how much you require to make one mug of juice.
You could finish up not utilizing them, if you neglect regarding them. Make certain to have a high turn over of fruit and vegetables so that you utilize the best components that you can.

Constructing the entire house again may be very costly and unaffordable. If you really wish to recreate your house, but are short of money then you can go for renovation of your house. Renovation is the process of recreating the selected areas of your house without destroying the original pillars of the house in a cheaper way. Renovating your house can change the entire look of your house and make it look more beautiful. Here are some significant tips to remember while renovating home.
Important Tips to Remember while Renovating Home
You must remember some of the best tips before renovating your house:
This is one of the major factors to be considered before renovating your house. You need to set the proper budget for the renovation phase you will be going through. You must have the adequate amount of money before starting the renovation process. Renovation is much better than the entire construction of house.
Reuse what you have
Reusing what you have will allow you to save a good amount of money and you can set low budget accordingly. It is necessary to re-use what you have because:
- It will reduce your expenditure
- It will control any extra expenses from your budget
Determine your needs and goals
You should be sure about what you want your rooms or house to look like so that you can brief up the labors working to renovate your house about the actual design that you need. This will helps them to:
- Save their efforts
- Design the space according to your needs
Research work
It is very important to have the perfect knowledge about the best person for this job. You can go online or ask your neighbors or relatives to get the best man for this job to be completed successfully on time with perfection.
Find the right man to do your job
You will require contracting the right person to get your house renovated properly. It is very important to choose the best person for this job because:
- The renovation work requires pure expertise
- A good contractor will do a better job
- A good contractor can suggest you about the trendy modern designs for your space
You will require some patience
Renovation is not a one day work. Things will go with the time. You need not to pressurize the labors. They will do their work accordingly and perfectly. If you are not patient and force them to complete work early, then the work may not be done properly.
Check everyday
You should keep a check on the work that is done every day by the labors so that everything is done perfectly and in an order.
Space planning
You must plan the space to be given to the rooms and other assets in your house. The work must proceed with the space planning so that you need to adjust yourself according to the condition later on. Space planning is better because:
- It gives you an idea about what you are doing
- You can design the house according to the space available
The hose must be renovated keeping the future designs in mind so that there is no need to reconstruct or renovate the house, even after 15-20 years. The modern designs and trends should be followed to renovate the house.
This is another important aspect to organize your rooms and other space with perfect selection of furniture. The furniture should match the design of the house that includes wall paint, curtains and other assets of the house.

Unanswered: Generalization...need help in sql query
I have problem in doing the select command:
i have the following table:-
1) investigator
2) professor
3) student
4) deptassign
5) assignment
business rule:-
investigator is a supertype for professor and student.
professor and student table are subtype for investigator.
professor has many to many relation to department, so there is composite table called deptassign between the professor and department.
student majors from one department, so there is one to many relation (department to student).
primary keys:
investigator: inv_id
professor: prof_id
student: stu_id
* stu_id = prof_id = inv_id
department: dept_id
deptassign:dept_id and prof_id
data in the following table:
investigator: s1, s2, p1, p2 *i used char data type for my pk.
student: s1, s2
professor: p1, p2
dept id: 1, 2
deptassign: p1 1, p1 2, p2 2
Let say i want to list the ids of professor and student and their respective departments.
select a.inv_id, e.dept_id
from investigator a, student b , professor c, deptassign d, department e
where a.inv_id = b.stu_id and a.inv_id = b.stu_id and b.stu_id = e.dept_id and a.inv_id = a.prof_id and a.prof_id = d.prof_id and d.dept_id = e.dept_id;
It will gives empty set...
I think this is because there are overlapped of data ( the one that i bold in the sql query) and it causes the data to cancel out.
Please advise.
Thank you very much.

Ted Nugent Apologizes for Calling Obama 'Subhuman Mongrel'
Although he won't apologize to the president himself.
Last month, Ted Nugent caused a storm of controversy when he described US president Barack Obama as a "subhuman mongrel" in an interview with Guns.com.
"I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame, enough Americans to be ever vigilant, but not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up."
Now, as NME notes, the guitarist has issued an apology of sorts in a radio interview with Ben Ferguson. While Nugent notes that he doesn't necessarily apologize to the president, he apologizes on "behalf of much better men than myself" and wishes he used "more understandable language."
Nugent is no stranger to making controversial statements. Back in 2011, he told Piers Morgan that he was "repulsed" by the idea of sex between two men, considering it "against nature."

Item description for Soultracker (Soul Tracker V1) by Bill Myers...Overview
David Kauffman is desperate to find out about the hours before his daughter's death. When he discovers a virtual reality program--one that allows the living to experience what lies beyond the grave--he risks his life to discover the truth.
Publishers Description
What if you could visit heaven and hell, traveling when and wherever you wish . . . without ever dying? What if your teenage daughter, the joy of your life, had died a tragic death and you discovered a way to visit her? What if there were people and beings, on both sides of the grave, who want to stop your return? These are the questions facing novelist David Kauffman. As a single parent he is devastated when his young daughter meets an untimely death. Desperate to contact her, he meets Gita Patekar, a beautiful and committed Christian with a scarred and shame-ridden past. She works for Life After Life ---an organization dedicated to tracking and recording the experiences of the soul once it leaves the body. Despite Gita s warnings that God is opposed to contacting the dead, David uses the organization s computer to try to find his daughter. In the process they discover Gita s organization has some very deep and dark secrets. A suspense-filled game of cat and mouse begins---both on earth and beyond the grave---as the couple work together, fall in love, and struggle to expose the truth . . . until they come face to face with the ultimate Love and Truth."
From Publishers Weekly
The prolific Myers steadily plugs along, offering competent novels such as this one, which provides glimpses of heaven while exploring the darker side of the supernatural. David Kauffman is a man consumed by grief. His lovely teenage daughter, Emily, has recently committed suicide, or so it seems, until Kauffman finds himself looking into her remarkable violet-blue eyes-in the face of another person. His obsession to discover what really happened to Emily will literally take him to hell and back. David finds an unlikely ally in Dr. Gita Patekar, a thanatologist from Nepal (she studies death and dying). She's employed by the Life After Life program, which claims to be running a series of studies designed to scientifically track the soul after death. Yet something malevolent lurks beneath the surface since, paradoxically, the search for longevity leads to a loss of respect for human life. As David learns that his obsessive love can obliterate his need for personal faith, Gita discovers her need to learn to love, defying her hyperdependence on logic. Myers likes to flirt with disturbing violence (animal lovers will cringe when a bunny is brutalized), but he stops just short of offending his conservative Christian readers. He also includes dialogue supporting the claims of Jesus Christ, which this same audience will appreciate. As usual, Myers fans will not be disappointed. (Sept.)
