Internet again! Though I'm exhausted, slightly sick, and glad to be back in my bed at CNSP, the last two weeks were incredible. The first week, I stayed with a host family in a Tamang village called Mane Gang. The host families in the village had accommodated CNSP students before, so they knew what to expect, but we had no idea.
We arrived at the village after hiking straight uphill for what seemed like hours. My host mother came out of her house to meet me, and I quickly learned hugging is not an appropriate greeting, especially when you're caked in sweat. She just laughed at my awkward outstretched arms and instead gently touched her hand to my forehead. Then she showed me the room I would share with her. It was usually my host brother's room, but for that week he would sleep upstairs with the dad while I slept over with the mom.
I wasn't sure how tight the foreign student/host family relationship was supposed to be, but my 'aamaa' gave me little option. She sat me down on the bed and said "Ma, aamaa. Tapaai, chhori," meaning "Me, mother. You, daughter." Then, she took one look at my grimy up-do, undid my bun, and combed out my hair. At first I was a little uncomfortable spending time with her. It was hard because my Nepali was limited, and she spoke even less English. But as the week progressed my Nepali improved dramatically, and I came to seriously appreciate how awesome my aamaa is.
Women in Nepal don't always have the greatest amount of freedom to speak their minds or make their own decisions. Even in Mane Gang, a place where the women seemed to be quite happy and productive, marriage used to be arranged through kidnapping. I talked to one older woman who had been out cutting grass when six men dragged her off to live with her future husband. She was only twenty at the time (my age… scary) and said she felt frightened, helpless, and didn't know what to do. Times are changing now, but women are often still subordinate to their husbands and in-laws.
My aamaa is a rare and inspiring exception. That woman is not subordinate to anyone. She liked to wake me up by yelling, "Chhori, uThne!" which means, "Daughter, get up!" We'd have tea and then she'd put me to work – washing dishes, husking corn, or cutting grass. She isn't afraid of yelling at her husband either and getting him to do work, something I haven't seen in other Nepali households. She must be used to standing up to her husband because she was one of the founding members of the women's group in Mane Gang even though he didn't support her. Now, she is a prominent woman in the village and holds her ground in impromptu debates with the men who stop by her house.
At the end of the week, I couldn't believe I was moving out. She came with us for a couple hours on the bus so we could drop her off at her eye appointment (she was almost blind, though she would never let you know it). The ride was long, and buses in Nepal are a scary business because the roads are unpaved, one-way, and tend to be on the edge of cliffs. During one particularly treacherous stretch I turned to her and said, "Malaai Dar laagyo," "I'm scared." She laughed at me and called me a little baby, which was her favorite way of making fun of me. But then she put her arm around me and held me for the rest of the stretch along the cliff. We said goodbye, and I told her I'd remember her, but I don't think she realized just how much of an impression she made on me. She is one awesome aamaa and any future CNSP student would be lucky to stay with her.

There are areas of different air pressure all over the earths surface. Generally, because of the cold air, the air tends to sink at the poles, causing a high pressure, while at the equator the air is warmer, and rises, causing a low pressure. Different air masses are therefore formed. These air masses move in certain directions. Polar air masses originate from the poles, and tropical air masses originate from the equator.
There are two main kinds of weather systems:
1) Depressions
2) Tropical Cyclones
1) Mid-latitude Cyclones or Depressions
When warm tropical air from the equator moves towards the poles and cold polar air moves towards the equator, the two air masses meet along a line known as a polar front. The two air masses will then move together in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere and an anti-clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the above picture, (Northern Hemisphere), the warm tropical air is moving north from the equator, and is at the bottom of the picture, while the cold, polar air is on the top. The arrows indicate the movement of the air masses around a low pressure cell. The solid line with triangles indicates the leading edge of the cold air, and is known as the cold front. The solid line with semi-circles is the leading edge of the warm air and is known as the warm front. The cold air moves faster than the warm air therefore, the cold air mass will eventually overtake the warm air mass - the section labelled warm air will get narrower.
Because the cold air mass is heavier, when it overtakes the warm air it forces the warm air upwards along the cold front and rain can form (above left). Similarly, at the warm front (above right) the warm air rises over the cold air mass. Eventually, when the warm air is occluded by the cold air, the warm air will be above the cold air.
A depression moves from west to east, and can occur in families of 2 to 5. A depression covers a large area (a few thousand km) and can last for up to 5 days. As the depression moves over an area, weather conditions associated with the warm front will be experienced first and this is an indication of the approaching cold front. When the warm front approaches the wind direction changes, dew point temperature rises, humidity increases, there is extensive cloud cover and the atmospheric pressure drops. The cold front has similar surface characteristics - the wind changes direction and blows more strongly, forming a line squall, temperature decreases, humidity decreases, precipitation can occur and the atmospheric pressure decreases.

2) Tropical Cyclone or Anticyclone
The common names for Tropical Cyclones are hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, or willy-willies. There are several conditions that need to be met before a cyclone can form. It must form over a sea, because it needs the moisture, and the temperature of the sea must be higher than 27 C. They must form 5 North of South of the equator, because the Coriolis Force is necessary. They occur mainly in late summer. They are slow moving, and move from east to west away from the equator. They only affect a small area (300 - 500 km). The isobars are close together, which show a sharp change in atmospheric pressure, resulting in hurricane force winds. In the centre of the cyclone is a calm eye. Air moves upwards, around the eye, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. They develop on the eastern sides of continents and are accompanied by heavy rain, thunder and lightning, which can cause devastation because of high winds and flooding. They are named alphabetically during the season.
The main cause of a cyclone is the extreme drop in atmospheric pressure, because of the heat of the ocean. As soon as the system moves over land it starts to dissipate, or break up, because it has been removed from its source, namely the sea.
The above picture is a cross-section of a cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere. The amount of rainfall and wind speed, increase towards the eye, while atmospheric pressure decreases. As soon as the eye is reached there is a sudden change in conditions - no rain and no wind But once the eye has passed, there is another sudden change is conditions, as the rain and wind increase to what they were before the eye passed over. The amount of rain and wind speed now slowly decrease as the system moves over and the atmospheric pressure slowly increases.

EDMONTON - In December 2011, Stephen Harper's Conservative government brought into force a serious law with a ridiculous name: The Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act.
Up until then, the maximum sentence for first-degree murder was life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. Even if someone committed several crimes, they served those sentences concurrently, not consecutively.
The parole board wasn't obligated to give someone parole after 25 years, or ever, of course. Still, it meant Canadian courts had no power to punish someone more severely for committing several murders.
The new law gives sentencing judges discretion to apply sentences consecutively. In theory, someone convicted of three first-degree murders might serve his or her sentences in sequence, leaving them ineligible for parole for 75 years. At the same time, the government eliminated the "faint hope" clause, which let inmates apply for early parole in exceptional circumstances.
Which brings us to Travis Baumgartner.
In June of 2012, Baumgartner, just 21, a trainee armed guard with G4S Security, turned his gun on four colleagues, killing three, Michelle Shegelski, Edgardo Rejano, and Brian Ilesic, and leaving a fourth, Matthew Schuman, with serious brain injuries.
In court Monday, Baumgartner pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Schuman, to two counts of second-degree murder for killing Shegelski and Ilesic, and to one count of first-degree murder for killing Rejano, who was shot last outside HUB Mall, after Baumgartner reloaded his gun.
Two years ago, the heaviest sentence he could have received was life in prison, with no chance of parole for 25 years. Instead, Baumgartner will be the first person in Canada sentenced under the new law.
In a joint submission, which took months to craft, Crown prosecutor Steven Bilodeau and defence lawyer Peter Royal recommended Baumgartner serve his sentences for shooting Schuman, Shegelski and Ilesic concurrently, but that for shooting Rejano it should be consecutively.
If the judge accepts the deal, Baumgartner would be ineligible for parole for 40 years from the day of his arrest. The earliest he could apply to the parole board for possible release would be 2052, just after his 61st birthday.
It would be an unprecedented sentence and, as Bilodeau pointed out in court, the heaviest sentence imposed in Canada since 1962, when Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin were hanged at Toronto's Don Jail.
For some, though, even 40 years wouldn't be long enough. Some have already questioned why the Crown isn't seeking the full 75-year maximum.
Certainly, it's not easy to have much sympathy for Travis Baumgartner, a callous, selfish killer who betrayed his four colleagues out of greed and spite, who acted out his own action movie or video game, heedless of human consequences.
He seems the perfect poster child for Harper's new law. But the very immaturity of his crime is telling. Baumgartner is so young. He had no previous record. In court he looked like a sullen man-child, sulking in the naughty chair.
In 40 years he could be a changed person. To take away all hope of release wouldn't just condemn him to death behind bars, it would also give him no reason or motivation to refrain from violence while in prison. A prison system full of such hopeless, desperate men could be frightening indeed.
There are also more practical considerations. Baumgartner might well have fought this case in court and fought the new sentencing rules on constitutional grounds. That could have taken years, dragging out the agony for the four families he ripped apart. This plea deal spares the Crown and the survivors from that.
It's a bleak compromise, which demonstrates the revulsion Edmontonians felt at Baumgartner's vicious crime while still giving a young man a chance to pay his social debt.
The joint sentencing recommendation, though, isn't binding. Associate Chief Justice Rooke, who is hearing the case, is one of the most hard-nosed judges on the Alberta bench, but one of the most punctilious.
This judgment, the first of its kind in Canada, will be closely watched and widely cited. As he makes legal history, he'll want his reasoning to be air-tight.
Rooke is scheduled to pass sentence Wednesday morning. His ruling won't just decide Travis Baumgartner's fate. It will be a test of a new philosophy of Canadian law.
Yet whatever he decides, no court, no law, no punishment, can ever truly deliver justice for Brian Ilesic, Edgardo Rejano, Michelle Shegelski, Matthew Schuman, and their families. What Baumgartner stole from them can never be returned.

(3) GOVERNMENTS CAN EXERCISE JURISDICTION, BUT OVER THEIR NATIONALS ----------------------------------------------------------------- (1) FRENCH COURT HOLDS YAHOO ACCOUNTABLE FOR U.S. AUCTION CONTENT In a setback for free expression on the Internet, a French court has ruled that U.S.-based Yahoo, Inc. is to be held liable under French law for allowing French citizens to access auction sites for World War II Nazi memorabilia. The court ruling on Monday subjects Yahoo to fines in excess of 100,000 francs (US$12,853) per day unless it installs a keyword-based blocking system that prevents French citizens from seeing the offending Yahoo sites. A review of news reports about the ruling is available at: http://thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,20331,00.html The ruling appears to impose blocking requirements that many view as impractical to implement on a wide scale and highly imperfect at identifying Internet users by country. It also sets a dangerous precedent for countries seeking to impose restrictions on speech outside their borders. ----------------------------------------------------------------- (2) FORCING INTERNET SPEAKERS TO COMPLY WITH 200 NATIONAL LAWS? This French court ruling has potentially disastrous implications for free expression around the world. Today, millions of individuals, small businesses, and non-profit groups are now Internet publishers. Holding them liable for the constantly changing and potentially restrictive laws of every country and municipality in the world will have a chilling affect on speech and commerce online. The French law in question prohibits the exhibition or sale of objects that incite racial hatred. Some of the World War II and Nazi materials in question likely constitute protected speech under the U.S. First Amendment. The French court ruling, should it stand, could open the door for other countries to hold companies and web site owners outside of their borders liable under restrictive rules about illegal content. The impact could be particularly dangerous for political speech by human rights, pro-democracy, social, and religious organizations publishing constitutionally-protected materials in the U.S. that might be illegal in foreign countries. ----------------------------------------------------------------- (3) GOVERNMENTS CAN EXERCISE JURISDICTION, BUT OVER THEIR NATIONALS The Internet raises important new challenges to the concepts of jurisdiction. But surely the solution is not to allow a government to exercise control over a content provider anywhere in the world. Governments are not without recourse. The French government of course retains its ability to prosecute those within its borders who view or buy materials that violate French laws. Individuals or companies within France are in a far better position to understand local legal standards. Yahoo's French affiliate (Yahoo.fr) complies with French law. While CDT remains concerned about overly restrictive regulation of expression online, a country's exercise of its jurisdiction within its own borders appears to be a more reasonable starting point for dealing with varying national cultural norms about Internet content. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Detailed information about online civil liberties issues may be found at http://www.cdt.org/.

Congress hopes for 'convergence of views' with Trinamool
Kolkata: The Congress Friday gave the go-ahead to the West Bengal Congress minister who wished to quit the Mamata Banerjee ministry after calling the chief minister a "dictator." The Congress has allowed Manoj Chakraborty to resign, state Congress president Pradip Bhattacharjee quoted Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmed as saying. "I have communicated the message to Manoj," said Bhattacharjee. Asked if the Congress would have a replacement for Chakraborty in the ministry, Bhattacharjee said: "We have not taken any decision so far." Chakraborty said he was happy. "I am thankful to the Congress high command. I am very happy. From now on, I will work as a Congress worker to strengthen my party," he said. Chakraborty, a minister of state, shot off his resignation to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, general secretary Rahul Gandhi and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee after Banerjee clipped his wings by taking away two departments in a reshuffle. Chakraborty then called Mamata a dictator and questioned her performance. The Congress leadership had earlier 'sympathised' with Chakraborty, saying he was deeply "hurt and pained" by the sudden reshuffle. A Congress leader said the green signal to Chakraborty's plea was a message to the Trinamool Congress that the Congress was not at its mercy and it did not endorse Banerjee's ignoring of the alliance partner.

Welcome back, GREEK! The second season finally kicked off last night, and the action picked up right after Spring Break (apparently, this school year is being played out in real time) with Greek Week activities, including a Greek Olympiad. But the real games were being played with the fallout of what happened in Myrtle Beach at the end of last season.
"It's like Die Hard in a building." —Wendy
More than just an awkward, slow-moving pastiche of the Bruce Willis action classic, this week's episode of THE MIDDLEMAN — in which an alien virus infected Ida with nanobots and turned her evil so she trapped Middleman and Wendy in the MiddleHQ — was packed with shout-outs to the companions of DOCTOR WHO — the "classic" version, as seen from 1963-'89:
MAD MEN continued to explore what appears to be this season's theme: the roles of women, and their influence on men.
This was a week of small victories for GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT — the best bits were small character moments scattered throughout an episode that was, itself, a bit dull. The predictability of the setups and lack of energy in the direction made the hour plod along.
THE MIDDLEMAN kicked off with the unsettling disclosure that Lacey had a sex dream about Pip. In her own words, PMGO (Puke My Guts Out)! But that was only the beginning of events in "The Vampiric Puppet Lamentation."
Okay, my favorite bit in this week's GH: NIGHT SHIFT came when Epiphany was on a date with Lando — er, Toussaint (Billy Dee Williams) — and she used a line from the movie Lady Sings the Blues — which starred Billy Dee Williams! How meta can you get?
Wow, THE MIDDLEMAN sure skirted the line of good taste early with that first-scene visit to the Batter of the Bulge Pancake House — those "panzercakes" and "lufftewaffles" gave me pause. But then it was on to good ol' videogame violence for Wendy and new squeeze Tyler. It's good to know Middleman rules allow for the Code 86 exception to constant surveillance, but the paperwork must be pretty embarrassing to fill out.
"It's been good, though, hasn't it? All of us, all of it; everything we did?" —The Doctor
The season finale of DOCTOR WHO contained the biggest deus ex machina — wait...make that deus ex TARDIS in the series' entire 30-year history. A second Doctor? I have to ... er, hand it to executive producer Russell T. Davies for having the cajones to pull something like that out of his bag of tricks — even if said bag was carefully packed over the past three seasons (from the Doctor losing his hand in "The Christmas Invasion" to a machine growing a new person from the Doctor's cells in "The Doctor's Daughter").
My favorite bit in last night's second episode of GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT (no family relation to this column) came when newbie Claire blanched at Kyle's suggestion that they rent an apartment down by the docks — she called the area "totally mob-adjacent" and way too dangerous. Brava, Dr. Simpson (Carrie Southworth)! At least somebody in Port Charles is smart enough to duck when the lead starts flying! And thanks to the writers for underlining NS' intention to concentrate on the hospital instead of the gangsters. Let's hope no GSWs are brought in to the ER.
This week's episode of DOCTOR WHO was nothing less than a fanboy's dream that very nearly put me into a coma, thanks to the return of so many companions and so many references to past episodes. This episode was so dense that even I had to watch it twice and freeze-frame to get it all.

iPhone App Gives Parents a Pediatrician in Their Pocket
Tweet Share on Facebook July 8, 2010 CommentParents who dread trying to call their pediatrician on nights and weekends have a new friend: the KidsDoc iPhone app.
Say your child has a stomach ache. Click on "abdominal pain" and KidsDoc asks: "Is this your child's symptom?" Drill down to "pain or discomfort located between the bottom of the rib cage and the groin crease" and you will encounter a list of symptoms based on severity. Selecting: "Not moving or too weak to stand," prompts a message to immediately call 911, whereas selecting "mild pain that comes and goes," instructs you to call your doctor within 24 hours.
Car Seats Aren't Safe When Used in the Home
Tweet Share on Facebook July 7, 2010 Comment (8)Car seats keep children safe—except when those seats aren't in the car. Parents who park babies in car seats inside the home put their children at risk of falls and head injuries, according to new research from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. That's news to me; parents get lots of information on how using car seats properly protects children in motor vehicle crashes, but this is the first report I've seen on what happens when we yank the baby bucket out of the back seat and walk into the house. It's not a pretty picture.
According to the researchers, who examined injury reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 43,562 babies were treated in emergency departments for car seat accidents that occurred outside of motor vehicles from 2003 to 2007—which translates to about 8,700 babies a year. Most of the children were 8 months or younger, and most suffered a head or neck injury as a result of falling from the car seat. The results were published in the August issue of Pediatrics.
Do Video Games Cause ADHD? 3 Ways to Keep Your Kids Safe
Tweet Share on Facebook July 6, 2010 Comment (10)Grade schoolers and young adults who play lots of video games are more likely to have ADHD or other attention problems, according to new research in Pediatrics. Does that mean it's time to yank the game controller? Maybe, maybe not. Here's why.
There's plenty of data showing that TV time doesn't help young children, and may be distracting them from what they really should be doing--which is playing and interacting with people. A few studies show that preschoolers who watch lots of TV are more likely to have ADHD, but cause and effect hasn't been proven. (It could be, for example, that kids who have short attention spans are more drawn to TV than others.) Although some studies have explored the link between violent TV shows and aggressive behavior, there's been very little research on video games and ADHD, surprising because every teenage boy I know seems to be glued to games like "Grand Theft Auto" and "Halo." -
Why Parents Who Smoke Put Their Kids at Risk
Tweet Share on Facebook June 30, 2010 Comment (5)Everyone knows that cigarette smoking is bad for your health. And it's bad for your children's health, too, increasing the risk that your offspring will suffer from obesity and mental health problems. Children of mothers who smoked while pregnant are more likely to have behavioral problems by age 4, according to researchers at the University of Bristol in England. And pregnant women aren't the only ones who should worry about the ill effects of smoking on children. Kids whose fathers smoked while they were in the womb were more likely to later become obese, according to researchers in Hong Kong. Both sets of scientists looked at data on thousands of children, and both papers were published in the July issue of Pediatrics.
Scientists have long known that pregnant women who smoke increase the risk that their children will be born prematurely, have low birth weight, decreased lung function, and developmental delays. Moms who smoke after a child is born also increase the odds that their child will have pneumonia, asthma, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS. But this new information suggests that children face a higher risk of obesity, which itself is a key risk factor for diabetes and heart disease, from secondhand smoke as well as maternal smoking.
2 Ways to Lower Your Child's Cholesterol Without Statins
Tweet Share on Facebook June 29, 2010 Comment (3)Parents should think twice before starting children on statin drugs to lower cholesterol, according to a new report on children and statins from Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs. That's because the powerful drugs have not been extensively tested in children, and they can have serious side effects, especially muscle pain. Instead, parents should consider the two best ways to lower cholesterol without drugs: more exercise, and a healthy diet.
With about 20 percent of children now considered obese and at risk of high cholesterol, many more parents will be facing the question of whether they should put children on statins, an idea that would have seemed odd just a few years ago. In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics said that statins could be used for children ages 8 and above, and that 2-year-olds should be given cholesterol tests if they appear to be at risk of obesity. In 2009, doctors wrote children 2.3 million prescriptions for statins. But John Santa, an internist who directs Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center, says parents should ask themselves two questions if their child has been diagnosed with high cholesterol before turning to statins:
Should Kids Take Big Risks? Teenage Sailor's Rescue Raises Big Questions
Tweet Share on Facebook June 15, 2010 Comment (5)The good news that 16-year-old Abby Sunderland was rescued at sea in the midst of her attempt to sail around the world alone gave parents good reason to heave a sigh of relief, and also ask themselves if they would let their own teenager take on such a dangerous task.
Bloggers have been flaming Sunderland's parents for letting the teenager set out on a voyage that would be challenging even for a seasoned sailor. "If people are looking at age, they're looking at the wrong thing here," dad Laurence Sunderland told reporters Friday as a rescue ship headed to the girl's disabled boat in the Indian Ocean. "Age is not a criteria. Abby is a fine sailor," he added. "I've never advocated this for 16-year-olds. I've advocated this for experienced sailors."
2 Simple Ways to Get Kids to Watch Less TV
Tweet Share on Facebook June 14, 2010 Comment (4)About one third of children watch more than the daily two hours of TV recommended by pediatricians, but parents often wince at the battles they face in prying children away from the tube. Here's help.
Children and teenagers who say their parents had rules about how much time they could spend watching TV or playing video games were much more likely to stay within the recommended limits for screen time, according to a new study in Pediatrics. The study, conducted by researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several universities, asked 7,415 children and teens ages 9 to 15 about their TV and computer habits. They found evidence that two simple tactics work: setting family rules for screen time and getting kids moving, whether through organized sports or free-time play.
To Help Cure Autism, Share Your DNA
Tweet Share on Facebook June 9, 2010 Comment (11)The news that children with autism have rare genetic variants unique to them is big, fancy science. It comes from the largest study ever on the genetics of autism, involving the DNA of 996 children with autism and their families, and more than 120 scientists in 11 countries. Not only did children with autism have rare genetic variations, the researchers found, they didn't share those variations with their parents, meaning that the variations were not inherited. But if you're the parent of a child with autism, news like this that doesn't include a cure, better treatments, or even a clear-cut cause doesn't sound so exciting.
Not so, says Stanley Nelson, a geneticist at the University of California-Los Angeles, who sent me an E-mail this morning so vehement that I just had to call him up and get the scoop. Clearly, finding more autism genes could make it easier to identify the causes of autism and discover potential treatments. So I was at first surprised by what Nelson said. "This work is grossly inadequate, even though it reflects about 15 to 20 years of sample collection, tens of millions [of dollars] in molecular testing, and analytical effort," he wrote, adding that this biggest-ever study, published online in Nature, explains the genetic basis of only about 3 percent of diagnosed cases of autism.
Risky Teen Behaviors: The 5 Biggies Parents Should Know About
Tweet Share on Facebook June 8, 2010 Comment (7)When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked teenagers if they had ever used a prescription drug that wasn't prescribed to them, 23 percent said "Yes." That was the big news in the CDC's new Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which anonymously polled 16,000 high school students in 2009 about whether they had been drinking, smoking, using illegal drugs, or indulging in other risky behaviors.
Twenty-three percent may sound like a lot, but it's not a big surprise to researchers. Teenage abuse of ADHD drugs, like Adderal, has risen 76 percent in the past eight years, according to a study published last year in Pediatrics. And opioid drugs like OxyContin, which are widely prescribed to adults for pain relief, are the third-most-popular drugs of abuse for teenagers. Both ADHD medications and OxyContin are easy to find in medicine cabinets and teenagers figure most parents will never notice if one or two pills go missing.
7 Skills Your Child Really Needs for a Happy, Productive Life
Tweet Share on Facebook May 28, 2010 Comment (8)What skills do children need to grow up to be healthy, happy, productive adults? That's a big question for parents, who are bombarded with conflicting advice from schools, books, and experts. Ellen Galinsky has wrestled with that question herself, while raising her own two children, and also as president of the Families and Work Institute in New York, where she researches the conflicts between work life and families. Her new book, Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs, includes hundreds of simple ways that parents can use games and activities to promote the development of life skills in children.
[Read 10 Reasons Play Can Make You Healthy, Happy, and More Productive]
I asked Ellen what practical lessons she learned in researching the book, things that parents can use to help their children daily. Here's an edited version of our conversation:

ORCID – Distinguishing you from others with similar names
A new service called ORCID has just been launched, with the lofty goal of trying to help distinguish researchers with the same name from each other.
As a person with a fairly common name this would be fantastic, as it is often frustrating trying to wade thru PubMed trying to find my papers by author name alone.
Most of the big players in Science Publishing are already on board, so it looks like this could be a winning centralised source of info in the not to distant future.

Journal Impact Factors: SJR vs ISI Web of Knowledge
In the past the gold standard was the ISI Web of Knowledge, but now there is a new kid in town, the SJR journal & Country Rank, powered by Scopus. So which one is better? After taking a look through some of the more common journals for cell biology, I'm leaning towards the SJR, it seems to fit a bit more with my gut feeling of how good a journal is, although that is a highly unscientific measure. So I will let the graphs speak for themselves and let you decide which is better.
My Researcher ID
Noticed this new ResearcherID profile on the ISI Web of Knowledge website.
As far as I can tell its free to sign up and use, and is a great way to update, track, and promote your progress as a researcher.
It plugs in with the new Endnote Web feature

Given all the market oscillations this year, we figured it'd be good to check in on how some of the prominent hedge funds are faring out there. According to Credit Suisse's indices, the average hedge fund was up 3.5% for September and is up 5.5% for 2010. Without further ado, taken from individual fund investor updates and HSBC's latest hedge fund performance report:
John Burbank's Passport Capital: The San Francisco firm was up 4.9% last month and is now up 7.8% for the year. Passport's flagship fund has $1.7 billion under management while the firm's AUM [assets under management] comes in at $3.4 billion in total. Burbank recently spoke at the Ira Sohn West Conference and you can see notes from his talk here.
John Paulson's hedge fund Paulson & Co: Paulson's Recovery fund was up 8.47% for the month (up 7.5% YTD). Paulson's gold fund gained 5.67% last month (up 22.54% ytd). Paulson's Advantage and Advantage Plus funds gained 12.41% and 7.72% for the month respectively. For the year, those funds are -0.17% and -0.42% respectively. In a recent talk, Paulson said to sell bonds and buy stocks.
David Tepper's Appaloosa Management: Appaloosa's Palomino fund was up 2.84% for September and sits up 15.13% for the year. In a recent (rare) interview, Tepper said he likes equities here.
Paul Tudor Jones' Tudor Investment Corp: Tudor's flagship Global BVI fund was up 0.55% for September and is up 2.6% for 2010.
David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital: Up 2.2% in September and now up 4.2% thus far in 2010. Einhorn recently added to his stake in CareFusion (CFN).
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square: His flagship fund was up 3.4% net last month, bringing it up 6.5% for the year. Ackman, of course, just started a brand new activist position in JC Penney (JCP).
Ricky Sandler's Eminence Capital: Up 0.20% for September, down 7.78% thus far in 2010.
Dan Loeb's Third Point: Third Point's offshore fund was up 3.9% in September and is now up 19.1% thus far in 2010. Third Point's Partners fund is up 22.2%, its Ultra fund is up 19.9%, and its Qualified fund is up 18.1%. Loeb recently disclosed new positions in gold bullion and Potash (POT).
Och-Ziff Capital Management: Och-Ziff's flagship fund was up 1.27% last month and is now up 4.18% ytd.
Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners: This activist hedge fund was up 7.5% for September.
Barry Rosenstein's JANA Partners: Another activist fund, JANA, was up 4.5% for the month and is now up 4% for 2010. In a recent presentation, Rosenstein said he thought the current environment was ripe for activist investments.
Steven Heinz & Paul Ruddock's Lansdowne Partners: The U.K. hedge fund was up 0.65% in September but down 3.87% for the year. The hedge fund recently acquired a position in Central Asia Metals (London: CAML).
Richard Perry's Perry Partners: -0.04% for last month but up 11.17% for 2010. You can view Perry Partners' Q2 letter to investors here.
Joshua Fink's Enso Capital Management: The hedge fund managed by Blackrock CEO Laurence Fink's son was up a whopping 14.5% last month. The fund is up around 25% this year largely due to gains from big positions in commodity stocks. The fund now manages around $200 million.
Overall, long/short funds were up around 5.4% for September and up 5.3% year-to-date. Merger arbitrage funds in general were up 1.96% last month and now 7.64% for the year. Lastly, event-driven hedge funds are up 8.89% for 2010 after a positive 4.65% in September. Interestingly enough, global macro funds have lagged other strategies, up 0.45% last month and only up 2.26% year-to-date.

You're a high school science teacher and your class is learning about dinosaurs. You can't exactly run to the local dino bone barn and buy some bargain bones for them to see first-hand. But what if you had access to a 3D printer
3D Systems' Cubify division has made another notable retail move, this time sealing a deal with Harrods of London to display the Cube personal 3D printer at their flagship store in Knightsbridge.
On the same exact day that Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed got a notice from the State Department about ripping his 3D printing handgun schematics from the web, the U.S. Government launched a $200 million initiative , $30 million of which went to Defense Department's "additive manufacturing" pilot program. Additive manufacturing is another way of saying 3D printing; and i t's unlikely the DoD is going to be printing off a bunch of tables and chairs.
Cody Wilson, the mind behind the "Liberator," the world's first 3D-printed handgun , said he didn't know what would happen once he upload the blueprints for the gun online Now he does The Department of State, through its Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, forced Wilson to take down the online blueprints for the "Liberator" and all the other 3D-printed weapon parts that he has made available online.
During our visit to New York City this week we heard directly from Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed on the latest progress they've had developing 3D models of functioning firearms.

LOL!! She is terribly happy and always on. That's such a doofy action shot of her!! I'm going to work this weekend on getting some new pictures and a video for her petfinder listing.
edit to add: We did some acupuncture and hydro-therapy early on, without results. The general concensus from all the vets I've talked to is that if she's going to regrow the nerve, it'll happen within the first 6 months and only time will tell. There's not much we can do to help it along other than keep her active and healthy. No problems there, she never stops moving. Hopefully that nerve wakes up soon and she can eventually walk on it again. It will be abnormal for that to happen though… but I'm still holding out hope.

SANTO DOMINGO.- The Armed Forces Ministry today Thursday announced it coordinates with the United Nations the deployment of Dominican troops which will collaborate with the UN peacekeeper in Haiti (Minustah), despite concerns on the measure's potential peril from sectors on both sides of the border.
In that regard the FFAA revealed that a delegation of the UN Military Affairs Team yesterday visited its Command Center in border town Jimaní to coordinate with the Senior Command the Dominican unit's location, whose focus are humanitarian tasks to help the quake victims.
On January 23 Armed Forces minister Pedro Rafael Peña said a part of the Dominican troops was ready for deployment in Haiti, two days after Port-au-Prince accepted Santo Domingo's offer of 150 soldiers on Haitian soil to protect the humanitarian corridor established between the two capitals.
At that time the entity's spokesman said Haiti president René Préval approved the deployment of Dominican soldiers in his country, to help distribute the aid to the victims.
Martin Nesirky also noted that the 150 Dominican troops will work with the Peruvian contingent of Minustah, stationed along the Haiti side of the 370 kilometer-long border.
Hopefully there will be no "incidents" or "accidents" involving dominican soldiers in haiti that will complicate the flow of aid and give the afro-lambones bullets to fire.
Que dios los cuide por esos caminos oscuros y los proteja de las pandillas de delincuentes que andan acabando con to en haiti por la falta de ley y orden.
I bet you that the anti-Dominican lobbies are salivating, for this splendid opportunity to smear our country, with a real or fabricated criminal incident.
With have much to lose and NOTHING to gain by this very dumb move, just to save face of (on his way out) Mr. Preval previous faux pas, where he stuck his foot in his mouth by saying: "Le arme Dominicain présence en Haïti n'est pas possible en ce moment".
As somewhat of a "conspiracy theorist" and my general distrust of most governments, I wonder if this is just the first step of some sort of a greater plan. Think about it.
This is likely to be a recipe for disaster.
Sending DR soldiers into Haiti is a wrong move, i know that the haitian holocaust has change the dynamics of the relationship between DR and Haiti but sending DR troops into haitian territory now, is too soon.
Es como si tu te juntaras con una ex novia tuya que no has visto en 10 años, tu no te deves tirar de cabeza el primer dia que te encontraste con ella, uno deve de preguntar donde has estado? y que has hecho ultimamente?, con quien has andado?. uno no deve de meter mano asi de repente, es peligroso. you guys get my drift?
I think it will be a good thing for the soldiers man, they will come back home with some dough in their pockets. I don't remember the DSA rate but it might be something close to 5000 grand monthly plus pre-deployment and repatriation lump sum. It will also open more doors for other DR soldiers to participate in some future UN peace keeping missions.
It would be a shame if DR soldiers allowed another group of degenerate US doctors to disarm and demean DR soldiers in another Facebook scandal.
The REAL ENEMY continues to insult our people and destroy our nation:
PLD choose Felix Bautista for senator
The PLD has announced its decision to nominate the director of the Public Works Supervisory Office of the Presidency, Felix Bautista for the post of senator in San Juan de la Maguana. The PLD announced that surveys show that Bautista has 60% of the support in the southwestern province.
Bautista has been linked to high-profile corruption scandals over the last few years, first for his role in the Sun Land public funds scandal and more recently when it emerged that his department had provided contract work for Mary Pelaez, now under arrest on charges of money laundering for fugitive drug trafficker Jose David Figueroa Agosto. Former district prosecutor Guillermo Moreno has called for Bautista to be investigated in the case. Senators have congressional immunity and can only be tried by the Supreme Court of Justice.
Must have been great , because you are still posting mierdas.
Meaning of Utopia :sort of perfected society but unreachable.
Keep it up belialbrugal !
Implementing the Constitution
The Dominican Republic has a new 277-article Constitution, but it could be months or even years before all the articles can be actually implemented. The implementation of several new measures depends on the approval of new laws or changes to the present laws. These include dispositions that create the Economic and Social Council, the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Electoral Court and the referendum, and that religious denominations other than the Catholic can legally celebrate marriages.
See http://www.hoy.com.do Download the 2010 Constitution (PDF ~ 520k)
I understand your concern with the corrupts politicians runing for office in D.R. Im concern too, but is bussiness as usual, nothing is going to change until somebody rule our country with an IRON FIST, trust me that's what we need another Trujillo without the mass killing, but moderate.
El Dominicano es como el mojon, que no coje cabeza, and the fact that we enjoy freedom and right is like leaving a 7 year old kid in a candy store by himself, you know what I mean?
My candidate is Guillermo Moreno; currently the ONLY MAN with integrity and the necessary testicular fortitude to lead our nation out of the FAILED STATE LIE-onel Fernandez and the PLD have driven it to!
We finally agree on something!
I would love to see Senator Brito and Senator Guerro resign from the PLD and join Dr. Moreno!
The uplifting this would give to the countries moral would be remarkable and it would encourage more decent folks in the country step forward.
A modern day TRINTY if you will.
Former prosecutor general Virgilio Bello Rosa says that "the government is at a complete loss" when it comes to the investigations into the case of fugitive drug baron Jose David Figueroa Agosto. As reported in Listin Diario, he said it was strange that the state prosecutors did not hear about Omar Ramon Antigua Polanco's murder for 2 days after the event. Polanco is believed to have served as operations chief for Figueroa Agosto. "Let's hope that this changes, because if it does not change then we are heading for disaster. Corrective measures have to be put into place in this society, but we will have to wait," he said.
As reported in Listin Diario, Bello Rosa believes that judging by the way things are going in this case, there will be impunity. "This is not about blaming any one sector. It is a problem that needs to be fixed for the sake of all Dominicans," he said. He commented that when he was prosecutor general, he led the investigations, not the Police.
Police confiscated homicide SUV
The Police have confiscated a gray 2000 model Mitsubishi Challenger, official registration plate G059585, used by the murderers of Omar Antigua Polanco on Saturday, 30 January. The victim is described as the operations chief for fugitive drug baron Jose Figueroa Agosto. Listin Diario reports that the SUV had been stolen from engineer Elvin Sadel Estevez Lopez in Los Prados on 9 January. When confiscated by the Police it was using the official license plate OC09224. The vehicle was registered in the name of Enido Antonio Lopez Diaz. The newspaper says the authorities are trying to establish to which government institution the plate was assigned, and its authenticity.
Antigua Polanco lived at Residencial Ducado, Los Rios in Arroyo Hondo III. He was shot to death in the parking lot of the Carrefour hypermarket on the Duarte Highway.
Why don't these guys just use the METRO!
My opinion is that the Boricua is probably out of the country, and if he is still in the country they don't want to catch him. That's just my take in this case.
Consider what a media circus the hundreds of sensationalist reporters in Haiti will have with this headline:
"UN soldier from DR shoots unarmed Haitian in cold blood"
When a UN member of the Minustah does this it goes unannounced and without much flare, but heaven forbid if one of our soldiers shoots or even hurts a Haitian trying to impose order. We will never hear the end of it for millenniums, until the DR will have to give up Jimani to appease the cries for blood. To me from a military or civilian point of view is a very risky move, and the Dominican military serving there, will be severely handicapped by the previous bad blood between our two nations. Precisely the fact because those bilateral relations are improving, and we should not risk damaging the fragile DR-Haiti relationship until it matures furthe
"Belial what about the 500 Havana cabbies {Doctors} who have defected from Venezuela so far ....they will be leaving Haiti in droves soon for Miami ," GC gloats.
This " 500" doesn't come from the bourgeois media. The "500" is the estimate of some "members of the Cuban [exile] group in Miami." So, the "500" comes from a group of the biggest liars in the world. Journalists in the bourgeois media say these Cuban American reactionaries in Miami cannot even document 100 defections.
Representatives of the bourgeois media discover emigration is not the same thing as defection. Pro-imperialist swine however insist that anybody who emigrates thereby defects. Over 20,000 USAs emigrated to Haiti as their permanent place of residence as of the Jan. 12 earthquake. Another 28,000 were in Haiti as tourists. Only pro-imperialist slime says 20,000 US citizens "defected" to Haiti. Thousands of USAs live permanently in Cuba, but they haven't "defected" to Cuba.
Generoso,have you been to Jimani? ,we lost it a long time ago...Dajabon is going quick,the border is creeping towards Santiago !
The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling!
Some LIGHT has been shed on the case, pardon the pun!
Placa del auto empleado para matar a lugarteniente de Figueroa Agosto es de Edesur
I you think the comments on LIE-onel Fernandez are rough on DT read the comments at the end of the article I have linked!
The people are beginning to wake up!
Thousands of USAs live in the DR but they have not "defected" to the DR.
Thousands of DRs live in the USA, but they haven't "defected" to the USA.
Emigration is only sometime the same thing as defection, the latter an ideological and political act. But emigration is usually not the same thing as defection, because there are reasons other ideology that prompts people to change their place of residence ... such as higher wages and salaries, the dispersion of familty members, the lure of another countries cultural characteristics, educational desires, etc.
Only pro-imperialist swine and pro-imperialist slime identify emigration and defection.
Now even most of the Mexicans who live in the USA have defected.
Your most civil correspondent,
Will the real owner of the license plate please report to the National Palace!
IF people weren't dying this would be a great JOKE!

Can't you think of me when you're not voiding yourself?
I don't like people to think of me when they void themselves.
"The average person that lives in the DR from the USA goes back and forth at will. The average person that immigrates to the USA from Cuba wishes he could. That is the difference. person leaving the ," jonbonz, explains the his difference between emigration and defection.
The average person who emigrates to the USA from Cuba is either a Cuban American or a Cuban exile. And, under changes in US law during the Obama regime, they now go back and forth between USA and Cuba. But before Obama, they could go back and forth only once every three years because the bourgeois regime under Bush could put them in a US prison for up to 20 years and fine them up to $250,000 or both. The Cubans during Bush regime and under Obama welcome the going back and forth of the average person in the USA and in Cuba.
So, only Cuban exiles and Cuban American are average persons in the USA.
Thousands of Cubans now, under Obama, go back and forth from Cuba to the USA. About a month ago, the Obama regime decided to discourage these Cubans going back and forth by humiliating them by searching them and their luggage, as if they were terrorists.
The Cuban government publicly protested this US impediment to going back and forth by average Cuban citizens from Cuba to the USA.
In other words, the Cubans don't stop people, whether US or Cuban citizens, from going back and forth.
yeah, when the chicken grows a tooth and pigs could fly. who evere wrote about unification is really crazy. most black americans,( many who are mulattos and pure blacks), can't even get along with each other, and idiots like you expect two group of people with diffrent culture and language, sharing a small island, to get along in unification??..

Dominican Republic is very humanitarian, however, we should NOT allowT this to happen. THe sad part is that HAITIANS continue to cross the border and dare the border agents to stop them. HAITIANS agenda is to cross ILLEGALLY to DR and when they do they have an elaborate support system of NGO's, Haitians, and other people who protect them as illegals.
Given the complex history of both country's the MASSIVE ILLEGAL HAITIAN migration of the last 4 years or so will be exacerbated with the EARTHQUAKE. WE NEED TO DEFEND OUR BORDERS B/C HAITI IS A THREAT TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. HAITIANS need to respect the laws of the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Because the US is the world's sole bloody superpower, which have had a hand in all the miseries afflicting the countries of the third worlders that it's currently receiving (via it's multinational companies a la United Fruit), while the DR is a third world country with enough problems of its own already and which can't give itself the luxury of providing for the social outcasts of another country, specially when it has the duty of providing for the needs of its very own poor first and foremost.
The US military budget alone could serve to rebuild Haiti ten times and there would still be enough money to spare, provided they take care of the management of those funds and don't let even one single penny on the sight of the haitian politicians, whose corruption make our very own ones look like glorified boy-scouts, if that is even possible.
Feel that cold air. Hell has just frozen over. I just agreed with you 1000% percent

Corruption is th e biggest problem in Haiti. Strip those (of their wealth) that intentionally keep the people in Haiti perpetual poverty. Distribution of wealth is the key to stability in any country.

Banistan states!
Desperately trying to make a friend!
All seven of the US doctors attended and finished Cuba's international medical school near Havana. In Haiti, they will practice in Cuban-administered hospitals. Their main concern is their lack of knowledge of Creole, the language of the Haitians. The Cubans will assign Haitian medical students who have interrupted their medical studies in Cuba to serve as interpreters for the seven US doctors. They say other US doctors who graduated in their med school class will soon join them in Haiti.
Long live the US worker!
" "French, Brazilian and other officials had earlier complained about the airport's refusal to allow their supply planes to land. A World Food Program official told The New York Times that the Americans' priorities were out of sync, allowing too many U.S. military flights and too few aid deliveries."
"Alain Joyandet, French cooperation minister, said he had protested to Washington about the U.S. military's management of the airport, where he said a French medical aid flight had been turned away." (Telegraph)
18-20 million people makes biggest market in caribbean. Change is coming. Haiti just needs the investments and people that want to look out for the country and not their pockets. These differences are not real just perceived.
I was taught thesame thing but Dominican people are misinformed. They are not racist just antihaitian. Remember people are people. My gfriend is DR and the stereotype is false. (you know what I mean.

Branching Out - November 2012
Welcome Bucks First FCU!
Welcome Bucks First FCU to the shared branching network. Bucks First went live on the network in October as an issuer only.
For your convenience, attached is the updated PaCUSC Contact Listing.
Pennsylvania PaCUSC Contact Listing
Delaware PaCUSC Contact Listing
Several changes have been made to the attached PaCUSC Contact Listing, so please make sure you provide to your staff. We also noted in the CU Name column if a credit union's contact preference for resolving or questioning a member transaction is via phone call or e-mail.
Attention CO-OP Shared Branching Acquirers: The Importance of the ISO/BIN File
Shared branching acquirers are required to update their ISO/BIN file on a weekly basis. The ISO/BIN File contains the unique BIN, routing and transit number, name, address, phone numbers and other pertinent information of all participating financial institutions in the shared branching network. The routing and transit number data in this file is also used for endorsement information on the back of checks deposited by credit union members.
It is important for CO-OP Shared Branching to be able to maintain an accurate, current ISO/BIN file so we can effectively serve our credit union members through the network. Having an outdated ISO File can cause a credit union to turn away members. This can be especially frustrating for newer credit unions that will then need to convince their members to give shared branching another try. Outlets failing to update their ISO files may be fined for each occurrence of members being turned away, so please be sure to keep your files up to date to avoid these fines.
In updating the shared branching acquirer ISO/BIN file, your credit union is assisting other participating shared branching credit unions and their members. This will enable them to receive the most accurate and up-to-date shared branching services either when a member visits an outlet, or through a credit union's marketing plan. CO-OP and PaCUSC would like to thank you in advance for assisting with this very important routine update. For further information or questions, please contact Sandy Shenk.
Member Service at Shared Branching Locations
We have heard concerns from several credit unions over the aggravation of servicing shared branching members. Credit unions have expressed concerns that these members are very demanding, especially when it comes to transactions they may not be able to perform at a shared branching location. We want to make sure shared branching is a pleasant and enjoyable experience for all parties involved.
We would like to ask credit unions to remind their members shared branching is a benefit of membership. Make sure they understand there are certain transactions shared branching members can not perform, or could be limited in performing, at shared branching locations. Remember not all locations do certain transactions, such as check withdrawals, as well as the limited sale of certain ancillary items.
Acquirers need to keep in mind shared branching members should be receiving the same level of service their own credit union membership receives daily. Tellers should not be treating them any differently because they are not a member of their credit union. You want to make sure you are servicing these members like you want your members serviced at other shared branching locations.
We want to make sure every member has a pleasant experience with shared branching since it is a reflection on all parties involved. If your credit union has any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Sandy Shenk.
CO-OP Shared Branching Data Center Upgrade
During the month of September, CO-OP Shared Branching performed a series of upgrades to the Duluth, Georgia data center that houses the Next Generation Network (NGN). These upgrades were performed to enhance NGN's ability to meet business continuity requirements, and included reconfigurations of the HVAC, electrical and server infrastructure. The new structure will create the ability to have quicker redundancies to better serve credit unions participating in CO-OP Shared Branching, and to prepare for future growth.
As a part of the overall initiative, CO-OP Shared Branching successfully transitioned over to the disaster recovery data center in Southfield, Michigan. NGN was able to perform successfully from Sunday, September 9th until Wednesday, September 26th. The success of this transition substantiates the ability of NGN to fully operate in the event of a disaster to the main data center.
Please contact Sandy Shenk with any questions.

Traffic problems in Aylesbury are no worse than many other towns and building a bypass would not improve the situation, transport chiefs have claimed.
Transport for Bucks officials said only 10 to 15% of vehicles in Aylesbury are passing through, with the remainder driving around within the town.
Project manager Ian McGowan said if people used an alternative means of transport once a week it would make an 'enormous' difference to congestion levels.
Meanwhile, network resilience manager Anne James said increased traffic in the town over the last couple of weeks is down to an annual cycle and not new school bus charges.
Controversial new charges mean pupils who do not attend their nearest eligible school have to pay a £76 fee for a bus service. It has been suggested this has led to more parents driving their children to school, but Ms James said: "We are not seeing anything abnormal this year over previous years."
She said September is the worst month, with many young children starting at a new school.
She said: "Because it's their first term parents are taking more care and driving them to school. As you move through the year parents get more confident, children travel on their own and it drops off. And then it shoots back up again. It's just an annual thing that we are always going to get."
Mr McGowan and Ms James said even with a blank cheque their priorities would be to encourage people to leave their cars at home and improve public transport, not build more roads or a bypass.
Mr McGowan added: "Is widening the M25 a good idea? It will just fill up. The same thing would happen with a bypass, more people would drive.
"If everybody did something different once a week that's a 20% difference. Think of the difference that 20% can make."
Ms James dismissed the idea of a park and ride system, saying there would not be the uptake, while Mr McGowan allayed fears planned housing developments would not provide sufficient infrastructure, saying: "All new developments have to have appropriate travel plans."
Ms James said the county council's Urban Traffic Management and Control system, which recognises when queues are long and operates traffic lights appropriately, had been 'quite effective' in easing congestion issues around Aylesbury, and Mr McGowan said there is information on the council's website to help people plan their journey.

Clinton Tells Turkey to Repair Relationship with Israel
By Jspace Staff on 11/1/2011 at 2:49 PM
Categories: Israel, United States, Middle East
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Turkey to use its newfound economic power to promote democracy in the region and repair its relationship with its neighbors, including Israel. Yesterday, Clinton addressed the American-Turkish Council in Washington.
Clinton welcomed Turkey's "growing role in the region and on the world stage" and voiced American support for Turkey joining the European Union. But, "To succeed, the Arab political awakening must also be an economic awakening," Clinton added.
"Turkey's ability to realize its full potential depends upon its resolve to strengthen democracy at home and promote peace in the neighborhood."
Turkey needs to pursue "ongoing constitutional reform" and greater "human rights for all Turkish citizens, including the right to speak and worship freely." Another way for Ankara to prove its intentions would be to repair relations with Israel. "We continue to urge both countries to look for opportunities to get this important relationship back on track," Clinton said.
The council consists of a group of business leaders dedicated to promoting US-Turkish cooperation in commerce, defense, technology and culture. To boost new democracy's access to US, European and Turkish markets, Clinton asked Turkey to "open the door for those countries who adopt high standards of reform and trade liberalization to construct a free, open and integrated trade and investment area."
