Chris Carlson, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Tre Madden has been on both sides of the ball in his short career at Southern California. While he enjoyed his year as a linebacker for the Trojans, he loves his new role as their star tailback.
Even though taking hits isn't as easy as delivering them.
"I think (having) 11 guys coming after you is a little harder," Madden said with a grin. "Running back is a little more difficult."
USC (2-1) is grateful Madden isn't afraid of a challenge. In fact, the school long known as Tailback U. hasn't had a ball carrier who got off to such an impressive start since Marcus Allen was running away with the Heisman Trophy in 1981.
"It's hard to start much better than he has through three games," USC coach Lane Kiffin said.
After losing last season to major knee surgery and emerging from a tough competition this summer to become the Trojans' starter, Madden already has 362 yards rushing, averaging 5.5 yards per carry.
Allen was the last USC tailback to start a season with three straight 100-yard games before Madden did it this year, and he doesn't appear to be slowing down heading into Saturday's meeting with Utah State. Although Allen was with the Kansas City Chiefs by the time Madden was born, he knows his USC history.
"It's a great tradition we have here at running back, and just to be mentioned with the great guys we have like Marcus Allen, it's awesome to be mentioned like that," Madden said. "He averaged like 200 (yards) a game his first five, so I'm nowhere close to that, but that's amazing just to be mentioned with him."
Even with projected starter Silas Redd and fellow veteran D.J. Morgan sitting out with injuries, USC is overflowing with backfield talent again this fall. Madden is starting in front of sophomore Javorious Allen and freshmen Justin Davis and Ty Isaac, all heavily recruited ball carriers.
Not bad for a multi-positional Orange County high school product who spent his freshman season at USC as a linebacker and special teams player.
Also not bad for a guy who sat out all of last season after blowing out his knee in spring practice, just a few days after making the switch to offense and immediately showing promise. He fell to the ground without contact in April 2012, tearing a ligament in his left knee.
"We really thought when he went down before last year that that was a big deal," Kiffin said. "It wasn't a big deal nationally, because people didn't really know about him, but from what we had seen in practice already, he had shown to be an every-down running back and a really unique back. He's done a great job coming back from it."
Madden's defensive background gives him insight for his current position: He already loves to hit, and he knows where linebackers are likely to end up on most running plays. His high school quarterback experience also helps in reading the reactions of cornerbacks and safeties.
"I definitely see myself as a running back now," he said. "I'm getting comfortable with the position and just feeding off every other running back we have."
While the 17-year-old Davis has shown promising signs with 172 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 6.6 yards per carry, Madden has been Kiffin's workhorse. He carried the ball 32 times against Washington State earlier this month, but was happy when that number was halved to 16 in last week's win over Boston College.
Madden is eager, but not greedy.
He said he'll do "whatever the game calls for, but sharing carries — we have great running backs and getting fresh legs on all the carries is definitely more beneficial to this team."
Madden's emergence might not have happened without the extended injury absence of Redd, who hasn't played yet for the Trojans this year after tearing the meniscus in his left knee during spring ball.
The Penn State transfer led USC with 905 yards rushing and nine touchdowns last season, but Kiffin has been deliberately vague about Redd's injury, which required a recent visit to Dr. James Andrews. Redd has said he hopes to return each week, only to watch from the sidelines.
Morgan, a two-game starter in 2011, also hasn't practiced this season with his own knee injury.
In the meantime, Madden excels as a determined runner between the tackles, delivering a physical punch to opposing defenses. He cites the Houston Texans' Arian Foster as his favorite running back, identifying with the All-Pro's determined, one-cut running style.
Despite his outstanding start, Madden knows he could lose playing time when Redd returns, or when the coaches want to see more of Davis' smooth running style. Madden doesn't mind the challenge at all.
"It's a lot of talent here, and that's what we come to USC for, to compete," Madden said. "That's what we expect."

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Where Are We Headed? The ultimate compliance goal is to help ensure that everyone associated with an advisory firm acts ethically at all times. Advisors and RIAs should do the right thing, even when regulators are not looking over their shoulders.
- Nothing but the Best Execution Along with the many other fiduciary obligations owed by RIAs, firms owe a duty to seek best execution of clients transactions. If they fail to do, RIAs violate Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act.
The North American Securities Administrators Association is warning investors to consider the risks associated with virtual currencies, particularly that the value of such currencies is volatile.
In an investor alert, "What's in Your e-Wallet?," NASAA explains that virtual currency is an electronic medium of exchange that can be bought or sold through virtual currency exchanges and used to purchase goods or services where accepted.
These currencies are gaining in both popularity and controversy and are stored in an electronic wallet, also known as an e-wallet, which is a digital system that allows payments online via a computer or mobile device. So-called cryptocurrencies are designed to make transactions difficult to trace.
"Unlike traditional currency, these alternatives typically are not backed by tangible assets, are not issued by a governmental authority and are subject to little or no regulation," said Andrea Seidt, NASAA president and Ohio Securities Commissioner, in a statement.
"The value of virtual currencies is highly volatile and the concept behind the currency is difficult to understand even for sophisticated financial experts," Seidt said. "Investors should be aware that investments that incorporate virtual currency present very real risks."
The alert explains that a growing numbers of merchants, businesses and other organizations currently accept bitcoin, one example of cryptocurrency, in lieu of traditional currency. However, recently, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, Mt. Gox, shut down after claiming to be the victim of hackers and losing more than $350 million of virtual currency.
"Despite the controversy, virtual currency may find its way into your e-wallet," NASAA warns.
Before investing in any offering involving virtual currency, investors should consider that:
Virtual currency is subject to minimal regulation and susceptible to cyberattacks. There may be no recourse should the virtual currency disappear.
Virtual currency accounts are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), which insures bank deposits up to $250,000.
Investments tied to virtual currency may be unsuitable for most investors due to their volatility.
Investors in virtual currency will be highly reliant upon unregulated companies that may lack appropriate internal controls and may be more susceptible to fraud and theft than regulated financial institutions.
Investors will have to rely upon the strength of their own computer security systems, as well as security systems provided by third parties, to protect their e-wallets from theft.

Take Yourself on a Date
Take Yourself on a Date
By Corine Gatti
Like most of my titles, this one was just as intentional. With juggling work, relationships and taking care of a family, you can lose yourself in the mix. When a friend canceled our lunch plans, I decided to suck it up and plan a date with myself instead of chilling in my jogging pants, hanging out with my Yellow Labrador, Noah. So a pair of jeans, few spritzes of perfume and a pair of sweet pumps later, I took myself out for serious me time. Here are five ways I learned to rejuvenate with the hopes that you too, will rediscover yourself.

Scythian warriors show genetic blending between Europeans and Asians
2012-11-27 0:00
Evidence of the potential genetic blending between Europeans and Asians has been discovered by a team of researchers led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) within the remains of Scythian warriors living over 2,000 years ago in the Altai region of Mongolia.
Tracing the lineage routes
The Scythians were already documented as the first large Eurasian culture, but were believed to be the product of migration from Europe. The researchers now suggest that the genetic blending is actually a result of the expansion of Scythian culture over the mountains.
Studies on ancient mitochondrial DNA of this region suggest that the Altai Mountains played the role of a geographical barrier between West and East Eurasian lineages until the beginning of the Iron Age.
After the 7th century BC, coinciding with Scythian expansion across the Eurasian steppes, a gradual influx of East Eurasian sequences in Western steppes is detected. However, the underlying events behind the genetic admixture in Altai during the Iron Age are still unresolved: 1) whether it was a result of migratory events (eastward firstly, westward secondly), or 2) whether it was a result of a local demographic expansion in a contact zone between European and East Asian people.
The Altai is a mountain range in Central Asia occupying territories of Russia and Kazakhstan to the west, and of Mongolia and China to the east. Historically, the Central Asian steppes have been a corridor for Asian and European populations, resulting in the regions large diversity in population today. In ancient times however the Altai Mountains, located in the middle of the steppes, represented an important barrier for the coexistence and mixture of the populations living on each side. And so they lived isolated during millennia: Europeans on the western side and Asians on the eastern side.
A. Geographical location of Pazyryk culture sites in the Altai regions of South Siberia, Kazakhstan and Western Mongolia. B. Pazyryk burial from Baga Turgen Gol site, Bayan-Ölgiy province, Western Mongolia
Extracted DNA tells the story
Research conducted by the UAB, the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont and the Institute of Evolutionary Biology has shed new light on when and how this Eurasian genetic blending took place.
The team extracted and analysed mitochondrial DNA (inherited from the mother, it allows us to trace our ancestors) from the bones and teeth of 19 Pazyryk skeletons dating to the Bronze Age (7th to 10th century BCE) and from the Iron Age (2nd to 7th century BCE) from the Mongolian Altai Mountains.
The remains were extracted from the tombs discovered seven years ago, in which the skeletons of Scythian warriors were discovered and represented the first scientific evidence of this culture in East Asia.
A perfect mix
The results obtained demonstrate that the population from the Iron Age, corresponding to the time when the Scythian culture resided in the Altai Mountains, had a perfect 50/50 mix of European and Asian mitochondrial DNA lineages or sequences, while previous populations showed no signs of this lineage mixture: the DNA analysed in the tombs located in Russia and Kazakhstan belong to European lineages, whereas DNA from the eastern part, in Mongolia, contained Asian lineages.
Spatial frequency distribution maps of East Eurasian lineages
A- Pre-Iron Age period; B- Iron Age period. Frequency values and detailed information for populations 18 are shown in table 3. 1- Mongolia (Altai), 2- Gorny Altai, 3- West Kazakhstan, 4- Central Kazakhstan, 5- South Kazakhstan, 6- East Kazakhstan, 7- SW Siberia, 8- Mongolia (Egyin Gol)
The results provide exceptionally valuable information about how and when the population diversity found today in Central Asian steppes appeared. They point to the possibility that this occurred in Altai over 2,000 years ago between the local population on both sides of the mountain range, coinciding with the expansion of the Scythian culture, which came from the west, explains Assumpció Malgosa, professor of Biological Anthropology at UAB and coordinator of the research.
Studies conducted until now on ancient DNA samples from the Altai region already indicated that the Scythians were the first large population to be a mixture between Europeans and Asians. However, the only populations to be studied were those on the western part of the Eurasian steppes, suggesting that this mixture was due to population migrations from Europe to the east.

Plazamedia's eCenter, based in Munich, provides various archiving and tapeless production services to customers, using Media Archive from Blue Order. Customers with large volumes of tape require Plazamedia to provide mass ingest services, which are able to handle hundreds of cassettes and deliver encoding, cataloging and quality control in an efficient workflow. Working in conjunction with Media Archive, Neptune provides the automated control of VTRs, Sony cart machines and video servers.
Neptune's installation at the eCenter will be the second collaboration between Pebble Beach Systems and Blue Order, the first being at YLE in Finland. Neptune offers third-party systems a wide range of flexible open protocols to enable the exchange of information for device control, metadata exchange, job lists and status reporting. The eCenter project will see Neptune and Media Archive use these protocols to deliver the end-to-end integrated workflow required by Plazamedia.

How you construct your mutual fund investment depends largely on personal preference. Here are some general guidelines that will help you figure out what will suit you best.
The first thing you need to do is define your objectives. What are you saving for, and how long do you have to reach that goal? For example, the mutual funds you select for retirement savings are different than, say, if you are saving for a house.
Next, you need to understand your "comfort zone" between risk and return. If you want the best return on your investment, you'll have to take more risk. For example, if you are a nervous Nellie and are saving to buy a house in three years, you are not going to look at stock market-based mutual funds. They are simply not in line with your time horizon or risk tolerance.
OK, let's say you've defined what you are saving for and know your tolerance for risk. Now it is time to start building. If you're investing for growth, start with what's known as a "large cap fund." A large cap fund is a collection of companies with a market capitalization value of more than $8 billion. This will be the core of your portfolio.
Next, pick some funds that add a little excitement to your mix. Remember, when building your portfolio, diversification is the key.
It doesn't matter if you have three funds or 10; make sure they are comprised of a variety of companies. Choosing a variety of funds will increase the likelihood that at least one of your funds is doing well at a given time.
So what kind of funds offer a little more excitement and possibly better returns? Look at funds that are comprised of smaller companies, developed international markets and possibly emerging markets. Emerging markets are up-and-coming economies around the world. They have the greatest promise for growth but are also the riskiest.
Remember, balance is key. When looking at a fund, ask yourself, "Does this fund fill a gap in my portfolio? Does it give me access to an area in the marketplace where I am not currently invested?" Now you are talking Wall Street!
A word about Uncle Sam: Be aware that unless you are investing in a 401(k), IRA or annuity, you'll be paying taxes on any money you make from the funds. A strategy here is to invest in funds that generate strong after-tax results.
Insider Tip
Once you have chosen your funds, set up an automatic monthly withdrawal from your bank account. This approach is called dollar-cost averaging. By contributing monthly into a certain fund, more shares are purchased when the prices are down and less when the price goes up. Over time, you will pay an overall lower cost for your shares.
So weigh the risk and the return. Mutual funds can be very lucrative and fun investments if you do your homework upfront.
These funds -- which hold a basket of investments -- trade like stocks, but are they right for everyone?

Budd Schulberg, Oscar-Winning Screenwriter, Passes Away At 95
Budd Schulberg, who shined a light on the Hollywood underbelly with his novel "What Makes Sammy Run?" and later made his mark with his Oscar-winning screenplay for "On the Waterfront," died Wednesday at age 95.
His wife, Betsy Schulberg, said he died of natural causes at his home in Westhampton Beach, on Long Island. He was taken to a nearby medical center, where doctors unsuccessfully tried to revive him.
"He was very loved and cherished," she said.
"On the Waterfront," directed by Elia Kazan and filmed in Hoboken, N.J., was released in 1954 to great critical and audience acclaim and won eight Academy Awards.
Schulberg also wrote the book for the 1964 Broadway musical version of 'Sammy Run?'
In 2003, Schulberg was voted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame as an "observer," a category established the previous year for journalists and historians. In his later years, he worked on a memoir, drawing upon correspondence with Robert Kennedy, F. Scott Fitzgerald and others. He was a supporter of Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign and was among the last to speak with the Democratic candidate before he was assassinated in Los Angeles according to news reports.
Schulberg remained active in his 90s, collaborating in 2008 on a stage version of "On the Waterfront" presented at the famous Fringe arts festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
He is survived by his wife Betsy and five children.

Superman Symbols Ice Cube Tray
Imagine how impressed visitors (Kryptonian or otherwise) when they see that you've decided to step up your ice-making game! The Superman Ice Cube Tray is a red, flexible rubber tray that (when filled with water and frozen...it's not magic!) creates 12 ice cubes in the shape of Superman's iconic 'S' Symbol. How do you choose which guests get the Super-cubes and which ones get boring old cube-cubes? You don't, silly! You're the host, so YOU get the Superman symbol ice cubes!! Unless you were feeling generous and made a whole bunch of 'em before the party. See? You really are a Super-host!!
Not dishwasher safe!
More Details:
- - Rating: 5.0 out of 5 based on 4 reviews.

It's not made of the normal plastic but of a soft rubber. The ice cubes are easily removed and look great. Highly recommend!
These are great and very easy to pop out the only problem is they go fast because everyone wants a Superman Ice Cube in their cup at our house!
I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! He is a huge Superman fan and the cubes come out with the little "S" on them. It's really fun. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
Great product... Very durable

Historical Traveler Reviews ATAHOTEL Villa Pamphili Rome
Very good hotel in a quiet place!
I stayed at Villa Pamphili from 24th to 27th June 2005. I exactly knew how the hotel is located so I can't complain about it. The hotel offers very convenient and prompt shuttle service to Cipro Metro stop which is around 15min walk from St. Peter's square. The fastest trip from hotel took only 6 minutes. Also shuttle service to Fiumicino airport worked well. Also you can easily reach the hotel by tram nr 8 from Largo Argentina, just ride to the final stop. Buses 31 and 247 stop 800m from the hotel. Most hotels in this price category are in the Termini area which is also quite far away from the most interesting parts of the city. I was very happy to relax outside the city center - it was almost as peaceful as my holiday home in Tuscany.
The hotel itself offers almost 5 star facilities. I could easily mention several 5 star hotels that are below Villa Pamphili's level. The pool could be the largest hotel pool in Rome. My room was spacious with all needed features, (ie.bathrobe, new towels in the evening) a 6-7sq m furnished balcony (fifth floor) with a fantastic park/pool view, excellent breakfast in Italian standards (even in German standards). The reception staff was very professional and helpful, all were fluent in English as well. Like everywhere in Italy, you get the best possible service when you start conversation with some Italian words. I want express my special thanks to "Bagninis" in the pool. They kept the area clean and looked after that everyone followed the rules. Please note that there is no bar in the pool, it was more for swimming itself than entertainment.
The hotel is part of a Italian chain, Atahotels, which provides very good website unlike most independent hotels in Italy. Weekend rate incl breakfast and taxes was 131€ for two. It's a lot more than in Germany or Scandinavia but great value in Rome.
Many Tripadvisor members have reported about overcharged taxi rides.
I could not see any problems if you remember to take a white licenced taxi with a meter on. A ride from Trastevere restaurant area to Villa Pamphili costs around 15€. Only if you travel outside the G.R.A. ring road the rate per km will be higher.
Try to get a pool facing room from the fifth floor, excellent value! I will definitely return to Villa Pamphili.
Nice, but too far from major attractions
This is a very nice hotel with great facilities. The breakfasts are very good compared to other hotels offerings. The rooms are exceptionally nice. The only drawback is that it is too far away from the major Rome attractions. A cab ride from the hotel to the Treve Fountain cost us (4 people) 35 euros and 25 euros to return. Staff was very professional. It is a resort type atmosphere.
The Villa in the Pines
Rome is a busy, crowded, congested city, in addition to all its art and artifacts. The Hotel Villa Pamphili is an oasis of calm and beauty situated within the city limits. It has all the features of a first-class hotel, with large, comfortable, well-furnished guest rooms, friendly, competent staff, and beautiful grounds and gardens. The restaurant would rate 4 stars in any American city, yet the cost of meals is surprisingly reasonable. The buffet on Saturday night was nothing short of bounteous. I would stay here again without hesitation.
Room with a View
Our Globus tour group was booked for the first 2 nights in early May 2004. My husband and I went in a night early. We had seen on their web-site that they had an airport pickup shuttle. Our travel agent emailed the hotel and they responded with the pick-up and drop off schedule - both morning and afternoon pickups - there is a spot designated with a hotel sign out the DaVinci concourse C, across about 4 lanes of local pick up traffic, up a few steps and down to the right. The driver in a marked, blue 14 seat van was a few minutes early and left right on time. The desk clerk was attentive and helpful and had our reservations all in order.
The hotel is about 5 storys (higher is better views), each room with a balcony, and very modern. The views from the rooms are beautiful looking towards the Park or the hills around Rome. The hotel is on a the west side of Pamphili Park on the west side of Rome. It is on a narrow, hilly one way, one lane side street (only parts have sidewalks along the monestary) that cuts through the Pamphili Park. You will not hear city noises at night. The side street ends at the Via Aurelia, a major thoroughfare. If you are looking for food other than at the hotel, head to Via Aurelia, take a right around the gas stations and down hill and you will find restaurants that open around 8 PM. This is a good hike of maybe a mile or more and not one you'd want to do in traffic rush hour or high heat. However, the city buses had a stop at that intersection on Via Aurelia, in case you feel adventurous.
The hotel lobby is nicely done, the restaurant is downstairs. Elevators work well. The rooms and bath are beautiful - lots of wood paneling, comfortable beds with excellent linens, a refrigerator, color tvs with cable, nice bath products and hair dryer. The AC worked well. The buffet breakfast is excellent - varieties of cold cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, ham, scrambled eggs, various breads, juices. We looked at the ala carte dinner menu and there was a variety of fish and pasta dishes starting around 9 euros.
The shuttle van schedule is posted in the lobby and will also take you to a drop off/pickup point a short walk from the Vatican Museum entry (up hill and to the left from the drop off). We were on the 8:30 shuttle and it was nearly full, so be in the lobby early to ensure a seat. After tromping around Rome for the day, you might not be inclined to walk all the way back for the free shuttle. A cab ride from the large cab stand at Piazza Argentina to the hotel will cost about 9 euros, plus tip.
The only drawbacks at all are the distance from the historic area and places to eat other than the hotel.
Beautiful Views, Would be Good for End of Trip
I was prepared not to like this hotel because I already knew it was outside of town. (Our tour group stayed there the last night before people left for early morning return flights.)
However, it was in a lovely, park-like area with views from the large terraces where we enjoyed having a drink and relaxing. This is not a place to base yourself for a Rome stay (although we did ride the free shuttle to the Vatican-area drop off, about a 20 minute ride). BUT: this could be a nice end of the trip place to stay if you are returning to Rome for a return flight. The hotel has an airport shuttle, and I don't think it's very far from the airport. I enjoyed the resort-like feel before starting up again with the craziness of air travel.
Beautiful hotel....in no mans land
What a beautiful hotel we couldnt fault it it was gorgeous. The food in the restaurant was above average and not too expensive. The amfora bar is superb we spent many nights chatting away to Gianni the bar tender who was so firendly we could chat for hours!Hotel has ample parking, a lane swimming pool (not good if you wanna jump in from all angles), sports facilities and plenty of lounging areas. The front staff on our check in spoke well English and were pleasant however looking at some of the other reviews I can understand them - alot of the front staff dont speak very well English but hey it is Italy. Now for the bad bit. This hotel is located a few miles south of the Vatican City ie miles away from the city centre. The shuttle is handy but it only takes you to the Vatican museums so you will have to get the metro from st pedro to termini to get anywhere - don't worry it's cheap. But if your planning some nights out in the city centre don't book this hotel unless your prepared to spend a fortune on taxis as they do rip you off. I wouldnt stay here again as the location is just too far out and it limits you to what you can do after hours.
The hotel is very nice. We spent 4 days in February and appreciated delicious meals and breakfast in the restaurant. Good connection to downtown with a shuttle bus which runs very often. The staff has always been warm and helpful.
They are rude
Went for a tour of Italy in fall of 2000. The first encounter with Italians was at the Hotel and like the other person commented, the front office staff were very rude, more like what you'd expect in Paris than in Italy. The scenery from the hotel was beautiful, but you could not walk anywhere without the risk of being hit by speeding cars.
Rude Staff, Way out of the Way
This is a beautiful hotel in a lovely location. My husband and I enjoyed our room with a balcony. The trouble? The front desk staff were tremendously rude and unhelpful not only to us but to an older widow travelling by herself. We asked how we might get to downtown and the staffperson didn't bother telling us about the shuttle or even responding in a hospitable way. Other staff behaved similarly. The hotel is miles from ANYTHING (and we are big walkers). The only service we received at the hotel that was any good was that from the gentlemen working at the restaurant. The place truly is beautiful, but I won't recommend it. Who needs rude treatment?
Nice but in no man, land
While in Rome, the Hotel Phamphillia was recommened to us. The hotel was very modern, etc but was so far away from anything. You can not even walk outside the door to do or get somewhere. They have a shuttle a few times a day. The shuttle is a very small one and there are alot of people waiting to get on. So, you wait an hour for the next one.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 6/17/13
ST. FRANCIS, Wis. -- The Milwaukee Bucks have officially added Nick Van Exel and Bob Bender to head coach Larry Drew's staff as assistant coaches, general manager John Hammond announced Monday. Bender will join the Bucks after spending the last nine seasons as an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks, the last three under Drew. Van Exel has been Atlanta's player development instructor since 2010. "Bob and Nick were both important pieces of my staff in Atlanta, and I'm excited that they are joining me on the bench in Milwaukee," Drew said in a statement. "Bob's merits as a coach have been proven through his past experience, and Nick's successful career in the NBA gives him a strong platform to mentor and coach our players. "They will be dedicated to the task of teaching and building up our young men in order for the Bucks to put a hard-working, committed team on the court." Bender began his coaching career as an assistant coach under Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, where he concluded his c...

If I wanted to read a love story ... I would read Harlequin Romances !! Too predictable with regards to the "love story" and it distracted from the murder mystery. YUCK

This section limits the deceased's freedom of testate by placing the death benefits and the control of the board of trustees who are tasked to distribute such benefits equitably among the dependants and nominees of the deceased. Section 37C of the Act was enacted to protect dependency by ensuring that the dependants of the deceased are not left in destitute. In order to achieve this, three duties are placed on the board of trustees namely, to identify the dependants and nominees of the deceased member; to effect an equitable distribution of the benefit among the beneficiaries; and to determine an appropriate mode of payment. This section sees to all the interest of the dependants without discriminating consequently there are three classes of dependants that are created under section 37C namely; legal dependants, non-legal dependants, and future dependants. Description: Thesis (LLM. (Labour Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Mineralisation and bioavailability of phosphorus from poultry manure and sewage sludge-based phospho-composts for maize production Chauke, Rhandu http://hdl.handle.net/10386/1171 2015-03-06T09:40:43Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Mineralisation and bioavailability of phosphorus from poultry manure and sewage sludge-based phospho-composts for maize production Authors: Chauke, Rhandu Abstract: Phospho-composts of different mix ratios (5:5, 7:3, 8:2 and 9:1) were produced through thermophilic co-composting of poultry manure (PM) and sewage sludge (SS) with ground phosphate rock (GPR). Composted PM and SS without GPR addition were included as control. Cured phospho-composts were chemically characterised and used for both laboratory incubation and greenhouse studies, respectively for phosphorus (P) mineralisation and bioavailability, over a period of 42 days. Results revealed that Bray-P1 concentration measured in compost amended soils at 14, 21 and 42 DAI differed significantly (P<0.05) and ranged between 5.47 and 11.14 mg kg-1 and between 5.28 and 11.78 mg kg-1 in poultry manure and sewage sludge-based phospho-composts, respectively. The maximum amount of cumulative P mineralised of 16.06 and 9.98 mg kg -1, respectively in PM and SS-based phospho-composts were obtained from the 8:2 mix ratio. The content of the acid detergent fibre of the different phospho-composts showed positive and significant correlation with cellulose, lignin and total organic carbon (TOC). Similarly, cellulose as well as C:P ratio showed significant correlation with both lignin and TOC. The polynomial relationship between cumulative P mineralised and the various GRP and manure mix ratios revealed significant and positive R2- values of 0.731 and 0.613 for PM and SS-based phospho-composts, respectively. The maximum amount of maize tissue P uptake of 0.12 and 0.11 mg pot-1 in PM and SS-based phospho-compost respectively were also obtained from the 8:2 mix ratio while the least amount of 0.04 mg P pot-1 was obtained from GPR and unamended pots. Maize tissue P uptake following the phospho-compost application was significantly affected by the differences in soil type. Tissue P uptake was 0.06 and 0.11 mg P/pot, respectively in low potential and high potential soils with a significantly higher value. The use of the different phospho-composts showed great potential for amelioration of P-deficiency problems in crops while thermophilic cocomposting improved the solubility and bioavailability of P from non-reactive GPR. Keywords: Ground phosphate rock; poultry manure; sewage sludge; phosphocomposts; phosphorus mineralisation; soil fertility management. Description: Thesis (MSc. Agriculture (Soil Science)) -- University of Limpopo, 2014 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z The impact of performance management on Moletele Communal Property Association's performance at Maruleng Local Municipality of the Limpopo Province Masoga, Morongwa Virginia http://hdl.handle.net/10386/1170 2015-03-06T09:34:40Z 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The impact of performance management on Moletele Communal Property Association's performance at Maruleng Local Municipality of the Limpopo Province Authors: Masoga, Morongwa Virginia Abstract: Recent changes in the allocation of land through the results of land redistribution have compelled members of communities to form committees, that is, Communal Property Associations (CPAs) that would be responsible for managing the claimed land. The Maruleng Local Municipality was not excluded from this process. Five of the CPAs have been formed under the above mentioned municipality to manage claimed land. The research investigated the impact of performance management on the Moletele CPA's performance at Maruleng Local Municipality of the Limpopo Province. The management of Moletele CPA was not without challenges, problems such as lack of resources, adequate training programmes, lack of clear policy and objectives were also found in the study. This research also seeks to investigate why Moletele CPA is performing better than the other CPAs in the municipality. In order to understand the total context of the challenges faced by Moletele CPA, an empirical research and interviews were conducted to collect data from the members of Moletele CPA. The findings of the study suggest that a lack of resources and relevant training programmes are contributing negatively towards the performance of the Moletele CPA in particular, and other CPAs in general. To conclude, the study revealed that performance management is not determined by one factor, but other challenges such as clarity of policies and cooperation amongst stakeholders also contribute towards the success of the Moletele CPA ;hence the recommendations made in chapter five.

How NOT to use a gift card
Thinking about giving a fancy new gadget as a gift? Or maybe there's something on your wish list? If so, you might be tempted by an ad for high-tech at a low price. But if a merchant other than Amazon.com asks you to pay using an Amazon gift card, it's probably a scam. In fact, Amazon's gift card terms don't allow you to use Amazon gift cards to make payments anywhere besides amazon.com and a few specific sites.
