Brooke Shields Movies
Despite her efforts to be taken seriously as an actress,
Brooke Shields
has been unable to escape her youth, during which time she found herself in the precarious position of simultaneously being idolized as a late-'70s icon of adolescent wholesome virginal innocence and being constantly photographed in manners verging on the mildly pornographic. Shields' early career was managed and pushed by her mother,
Teri Shields
, a small-time actress who placed her daughter in front of the camera before she was even one. As the Ivory Snow baby, Shields was once hailed as the "most beautiful baby in America." After spending many years hawking products, she was in such demand that her mother started marketing her under the logo "
Brooke Shields
& Co." Shields made her feature film debut in
Alice Sweet Alice
(1976), but did not become a bona fide star until French director
Louis Malle
cast her as a 12-year-old New Orleans prostitute who becomes the romantic obsession of a much older painter in
Pretty Baby
(1978). The film was released amidst great controversy because of the scenes in which Shields (or a body double representing her) appeared nude. But while she did participate in some adult scenes, those moments were handled with taste and discretion by Malle and his cinematographer, Sven Nyquist, and the general consensus was that Shields was not exploited in the film. Thus far, her acting in
Pretty Baby
remains Shields' best. Through her teens, Shields was among the world's top fashion models and her countenance was everywhere. Controversy again stirred when she did some provocative ads for Calvin Kline in which she was seen wearing a too tight pair of jeans and cooed, "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins." This was in contrast to her other ads in which she advised young girls to abstain from sex and a different campaign against smoking. At the peak of her fame, Shields appeared three times on the cover of Life magazine and once on the cover of Time. Her film career picked up around this time with appearances in such venues as
King of the Gypsies
(1978) and
Wanda Nevada
(1979), but her best-known film is the so-bad-it's-good The Blue Lagoon (1980) in which she and teenage hunk
Christopher Atkins
find themselves shipwrecked for years on a desert island. Ostensibly, the film is a tender tale about innocence and true love, but it's primarily a titillating romp filled with plenty of flesh shots of Shields and Atkins' taut, tanned, and partially clad bodies. In 1981, Shields tried her hand with a more serious role in
Franco Zeffirelli
's tepid teen romance Endless Love, but did not succeed. Shields decided it was time for college and so enrolled in Princeton, where but for the occasional appearance on a
Bob Hope
television special, made-for-TV movie, or other special event, she immersed herself in college life. While there, she majored in French Literature and also became interested in the theater, gaining experience in two regional productions of Love Letters. Shields graduated from Princeton with honors. Upon her graduation, Shields returned to acting full time and appeared in films that can most kindly be described as mediocre. In 1996, Shields was given her own situation comedy on NBC network's Suddenly Susan, where she played a single career girl struggling to reassemble her life following her breakup with her wealthy fiancé. Though never among the most natural and relaxed of actresses, Shields gradually grew into her role and proved to be a competent, charismatic comedy actress, turning in guest appearances on popular television shows such as That 70s Show, Nip/Tuck, Two and a Half Men, and Hannah Montana after Suddenly Susan went off the air in 2000. Meanwhile, on Broadway, Shields could bee seen in revivals of Grease, Cabaret, and Chicago before taking over the role of Morticia Addams in the Broadway musical version of The Addams Family. In 1997 Shields married tennis great Andre Agassi, but the union only lasted two years and in 2001 she was wed to television producer Chris Henchy. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Add The Greening of Whitney Brown to top of Queue
A privileged urban teen struggles to learn an important life lesson after her family falls on hard times and move to her grandparents' farm in order to get back on their feet. Whitney Brown (Sammi Hanratti) was raised in the lap of luxury; her parents (Aidan Quinn and Brooke Shields) gave her everything a child could ever want. But when the economic climate takes a turn for the worst, the well-to-do family must find a new place to live. Initially dejected by the slow pace of rural life, Whitney starts to perk up after befriending a majestic Gypsy Vanner horse named Odd Job Bob on a ranch owned by cantankerous Dusty (Kris Kristofferson) -- whose connection to her family is stronger than she suspects. It isn't long before the change of scenery, the quality family time, and the idyllic days spent with her new equine friend allow Whitney the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for nature and to understand the importance of occasionally stepping back to put your life in perspective. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A fast-food worker who struggles through endless shifts to support herself and her father, she is completely stunned when she lands a catering job at a popular ski resort.

But in time, the nimble skateboarder discovers the joys of snowboarding and decides to take a shot at a major competition staged to celebrate the end of the winter season. While trying to fit in and mastering the art of snowboarding, however, Kim starts to fall for her boss' son Jonny (Ed Westwick), a handsome young skier who seems to have taken a liking to her, yet still seems strangely elusive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A desk-jockey detective and his tough-talking partner get their moment to shine in this buddy police comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and directed by Adam McKay (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby). New York City detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell) is more comfortable pushing pencils than busting bad guys. A meticulous forensic accountant, his numbers are never off. Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg) is Gamble's reluctant partner. Try as Detective Hoitz might to get back on the streets, an embarrassing encounter with Derek Jeter has left a sizable black mark on his permanent record. Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are the complete opposites of Gamble and Hoitz: unwaveringly confident, they always get their man, and they do it with style to spare. When the time comes for Gamble and Hoitz to prove their mettle and save the day, their incompetence becomes the stuff of legend. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Encouraged to explore the sinister side of humanity by a prominent art gallery proprietor (Brooke Shields) who is set to display his upcoming debut, Leon goes against the wishes of his girlfriend, Maya (Leslie Bibb), and begins stalking notorious serial killer Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) -- whose sadistic murder spree has been making headlines all across the country.

The Outsider
Filmmaker Nicholas Jarecki offers a celluloid portrait of a cinematic mastermind at work in this documentary shot over an eight month period and following director James Toback through each phase of production of his 2004 thriller When Will I be Loved. From pre-production to final cut, Jarecki follows the existential-minded director through the entire process of making a movie as Toback opens up to the camera to discuss a variety of deeply personal matters and explore just how they have manifested themselves in such films as Love and Money, The Big Bang, and Black and White. Candid interviews with such well-known Toback collaborators as Woody Allen, Robert Towne, Harvey Keitel, Roger Ebert, Brett Ratner, show just how much impact the well-respected filmmaker has had in Hollywood despite his stubborn refusal to fit into the commercialized mold so frequently associated with the showbiz mecca. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Unbeknownst to Charlene, he claims a spouse and two kids in the old country! Suddenly, first wife, Maria (Cucinotta), pops up in the Big Apple, with their sons in tow, letting her Italian temper erupt when she hears of wife number two -- and the schemer Vincenzo finds himself caught in the middle of a small marital war. Chevy Chase makes a guest appearance as Paul Parmesan, a Ron Popeil-like TV shopping magnate who only adds to everyone's confusion and misery by cooking up a delicious scheme against the two women. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Based on a series of children's books by David Kirk, this cartoon special features the voice of Brooke Shields as Miss Spider, a sensible young arachnid who, within a few minutes after the opening credits, has become Mrs. Spider. Happily wed to the nerdish but loveable Holley (voiced by Rick Moranis), Miss Spider hopes to experience the joys of a genuine family, something denied her when she was adopted as an infant. Alas, things get off to a shaky start when the spiders' wedding party is spoiled by a huge, rampaging chicken. Not long afterward, however, Miss Spider's son Squirt demonstrates that even huge, rampaging chickens can have maternal feelings when he tries to unite an egg with its "mama." Employing 3-D animation, vivid characterizations and eminently delightful colors and background art, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids was produced by Canada's Nelvana studios on behalf of the Nickelodeon cable service, where it first aired on March 31, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adapted by Lynda LaPlante from her own 1983 British miniseries of the same name, the ABC four-parter Widows was set in motion by a bungled art heist, in which three thieves (and a possible fourth) were betrayed and killed. Rather than grieve over their fallen husbands, the three widows of the thieves -- Dolly (Mercedes Ruehl), Linda (Rosie Perez), and Shirley (Brooke Shields) -- join forces to complete the original "caper," and to track down their spouses' murderers. The ladies are joined by exotic dancer Bella (N'Bushe Wright), whose missing-in-action boyfriend may have been slaughtered along with the other three crooks. The American version of Widows debuted August 6, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The inner workings of the New York hip-hop scene, and the fascination of white observers with rap music and hip-hop culture, set the stage for this drama written and directed by James Toback. Rich Bower (Power) is a mover and shaker in the world of rap music (he's involved with a number of other licit and illicit business ventures as well), and his apartment is a favored meeting place for musicians, hangers-on, and hipsters who want to seem cool, including a clique of white kids who want to be on the inside of whey they consider the coolest scene of the day. Sam (Brooke Shields), a filmmaker, is making a documentary about Rich and his circle, with the help of her husband Terry (Robert Downey Jr.), a closeted homosexual who doesn't feel at home in this milieu. Dean (Allan Houston) is a talented college basketball player and Rich's friend since childhood who is offered a deal by a bookmaker, Mark (Ben Stiller) to throw a few games for a price. Dean takes the money against his better judgment, and he soon realizes how much of a mistake he made when Mark turns out to be a cop hoping to dig up dirt on Rich. Rich in turn discovers that Dean might be forced to tell what he knows to stay out of jail, and he decides that Dean has to be killed; however, rather than murder his friend himself, Rich asks one of the white kids who hangs out with him, who seems especially eager to prove himself, to do it for him. The kid, however, is actually the son of the District Attorney. Also contributing to Black and White's supporting cast are controversial boxing legend Mike Tyson, musician Bijou Phillips, Wu Tang Clan rapper Raekwon, model Claudia Schiffer, and Donald Trump's former spouse Marla Maples. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Research Paper Topics
Choosing the right topic for your research paper is half the battle. Sometimes, even great writers cannot compose interesting texts about boring topics. High school and college students have to choose topics that will be interesting for evaluators, professors or whoever else it may concern. The topic of your research paper should surprise your readers. Just imagine a professor who starts reading your research paper and thinks, "Hey, that's some interesting topic this student has chosen." It's only natural for that professor to have a positive attitude toward the research paper, even if it contains some minor mistakes.

What types of stormwater infiltration systems are regulated and by whom?
Owners or operators of any facility within the City of Redmond's
Wellhead Protection Zones 1 and 2
are required by the City of Redmond's 2003 Wellhead Protection Ordinance to evaluate and upgrade their stormwater infiltration systems to ensure protection of the drinking water resource. Stormwater systems that infiltrate stormwater into drywells, perforated pipes or trenches, bottomless vaults or infiltration ponds (
Typical Stormwater Infiltration Systems
) are regulated by this ordinance.
The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also require registration, assessment and modification of many of these same infiltration systems. The City is coordinating with Ecology so that owners who meet Redmond's requirements will also be in compliance with the Ecology's rules on infiltration.
Stormwater infiltration systems outside of Wellhead Protection Zones 1 and 2 are regulated by Ecology and not the City. Ecology refers to perforated pipes or drywells used to infiltrate stormwater below the ground surface as Underground Injection Control Wells, or UICs. Ecology regulates all UIC wells in the state This link will take you directly to the
Department of Ecology website where you can register your UIC-type stormwater infiltration system
. Ecology also requires an assessment of these stormwater infiltration systems.
Owners of the known stormwater infiltration systems located within wellhead protection zones 1 and 2 have registered their systems with the City of Redmond and Ecology.
Back to top
Owners are now required to complete an assessment of their stormwater systems to ensure protection of the groundwater resource by February 3, 2011. City and state codes require that the assessment be complete by February 3, 2011, but encourages completion of the assessment well in advance of this date.
The assessment criteria along with a schedule for completing assessments and modifications to existing stormwater infiltration systems was adopted by the City Council as
Ordinance 2521
on February 2, 2010.
Resolution 1321
was also adopted to provide incentives to owners to complete their assessments and modifications before the deadline which will provide for earlier implementation of groundwater protection measures.
Assessments, for systems located in Wellhead Protection Zone 1 and 2, submitted to the City by February 2, 2011 will be eligible for up to $4,000.00 in 50% matching funds. Please read the instructions for complete details on the incentive program (Resolution 1321) and elimination of permit fees for required modifications.
The City of Redmond Existing Stormwater Infiltration Assessment Criteria was developed to help owners and the City assess the specific risks presented by individual facility uses to the groundwater. Owners/Operators will provide information by answering 12 questions in four categories to evaluate risk:
Assessment Form
Instructions for Completing the Assessment
Land Use - information on specific actions, materials, and products being used within areas that drain to the infiltration system.
Location - proximity to public or private drinking water wells.
Infiltration system description - size and treatment capacity of the system and depth to groundwater.
Risk Reduction - list pollution prevention measures already in place at the facility.
Points are assigned for items in each category, and at the end of the form the points are tallied. Sites with scores less than seven (7) are identified as low risk sites. Low risk sites must implement
Best Management Practices
(BMPs) applicable to their site as currently required by the Wellhead Protection code.
Sites with scores higher than seven (7) are identified as potential significant groundwater hazard sites. Those sites must implement
required BMPs
as well as site specific BMPs that are applicable to their operations as well as modifications to their systems. The Assessment is written in such a way that it can be used as a guide for determining which types of modifications that can be applied to a site to reduce its risk score.
Back to top
Assessment Review and Modifications
The goal of the assessment process is to determine the risks to groundwater at a facility and determine what modifications can be made to operations, physical structures or to the stormwater system itself is to reduce each site's risk level to less than eight (8) points. Implementing permanent measures to protect groundwater quality will be required at all facilities.
City staff will review the Assessment for completeness and accuracy; all questions must be answered on the assessment for the City to accept it and issue a Voucher letter. The Voucher letter is important because it documents that a facility has complied with the City and State requirement to complete an assessment of the stormwater system. It is also important to the facility owner because it documents the date the City has accepted the Assessment and the owner's eligibility for the
Groundwater Protection Incentives
Flow Chart
graphically describes the process and approximate schedule for completing the assessment, review, work authorization, design, permitting and incentive process.
Schedule and Process for Review and Modification:
Implement appropriate BMPs to protect groundwater immediately.
Submit assessment before February 3, 2011 for a $4,000 voucher and reduced permit fees.
Submissions after February 3, 2011 will be in violation of State and City codes and may be subject to penalties and will not be eligible for a voucher.
The City will schedule assessment reviews within 60 days of receipt of the assessment form.
A facility specific modification schedule will be developed during the review; emphasis will be placed on the highest risk systems.
After the City has reviewed the assessment, they will issue an Authorized Work letter and schedule detailing the work that must be done to reduce the risk to groundwater at the facility.
The modifications approved by the City will also satisfy Ecology's requirements for infiltration systems.
The owner will design the system modifications, seek the appropriate permits from the City Permit Center and begin work upon issuance of the permits.
Each facility will produce a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan or equivalent plan for approval by the City within 60 days of completion of BMPs and or modifications.
Facilities requiring modifications are to be modified or replaced within 2.5 years of assessment approval or as scheduled by the City of Redmond to coordinate with stormwater infrastructure modifications. Waivers from this timeframe may be developed on a site-by-site basis in consultation with the City.
All modifications are to be completed no later than February 3, 2016.

What is stormwater infiltration?
When precipitation falls to the ground it generally does one of three things: it evaporates, it percolates, or it becomes stormwater. Evaporated water forms clouds. Percolation is when precipitation soaks into the soil filling the spaces between grains of sand and gravel saturating the ground.
is the portion of precipitation that does not naturally evaporate or percolate into the soil. This stormwater can flow over land, in channels or pipes into a surface water channel, or to a facility designed to place the stormwater into the ground. Stormwater that is filtered into the ground is called stormwater infiltration.
Back to top
How does infiltration affect Redmond's groundwater?
Precipitation and stormwater infiltration sustain the groundwater aquifer that Redmond uses to supply 40% of its drinking water. Percolation in natural, undisturbed areas provides clean water to the groundwater aquifer. Stormwater collected from man-made areas such as clean roof run-off can also beneficially recharge the aquifer.
Stormwater from roads, parking lots, and industrial areas however, may pick up oils, metals, and other contaminants not beneficial to the aquifer. The shallow groundwater aquifer in the valley areas of Redmond is only a few feet below the surface and is highly susceptible to contamination, so infiltration of contaminated stormwater is a potential problem.
Back to top
Ordinance Update
The City of Redmond's Natural Resources staff collaborated with businesses and the Chamber of Commerce through a series of meetings in 2009 to create a risk assessment tool that can be uniformly applied, and owner completed, to evaluate the risk to groundwater from existing stormwater infiltration systems. The assessment has been endorsed by Ecology as meeting their assessment requirements and is supported by the businesses that participated in its development.
What do I need to do NOW to help protect the groundwater?
You can ensure that activities at your facility are not creating a stormwater or groundwater hazard by ensuring chemicals are handled and stored safely, spills are avoided, and that chemical use is minimized where possible to help protect our drinking water resource.
All facilities are required to implement the
Required Operational and Structural BMPs
to protect groundwater from stormwater contamination. These BMPs include, but are not limited to, basic practices like:
forming a spill prevention team
good housekeeping
preventative maintenance
spill cleanup
regular inspections, and
record keeping
These measures are required by the City of Redmond Wellhead Protection Code.
Click here for the complete version of
Section IV of the Stormwater Manual
that describes BMPs for specific business types such as:
fueling facilities
materials handling
vehicle maintenance
outside manufacturing activities
landscape maintenance
dust and sediment control
storage of equipment and materials
storage in tanks
spill response
many other best management practices
The complete
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Volume IV
can help to provide information on design, operation and maintenance of all stormwater systems. City of Redmond code requires that "any facility, activity, or residence in the City in which hazardous materials or other deleterious substances are present shall be operated in a manner that prevents their release to the environment" and ensures that they do not "pose a significant groundwater hazard."
Please use your chemicals and equipment carefully. If you would like to request a technical assistance visit from a City staff member or
King County's Local Hazardous Waste Management Program
to help you find different ways to reduce the risk of pollution you may contact us at

Barack Obama's Senate campaign office in Springfield is a steamy, dimly lit room with a desk, a phone, a fan and a box of tissues. A storefront in the state capital, with a broken sign outside and a monthly rent of less than $600, it reminds visitors just how recently and how suddenly he has been thrust into national view.
Mr. Obama, who will deliver the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, is, after all, just a state legislator from the country's vast middle, and not even from a battleground state in the presidential fight. He is only 42. But after a primary victory in Illinois of startling dimensions, and with his Republican opponent having suddenly dropped out, Mr. Obama stands a good chance to win a seat from the Republicans, and to become the United States Senate's only African-American member.
And that -- along with what Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, calls ''a harmonic convergence'' of Mr. Obama's broad appeal, the Democratic Party's campaign-year needs, and the fortune of timing -- has brought Mr. Obama to what he describes, with puzzling calm, as the biggest political moment of his life.

Found via Tweep Nullafide, who critiques the Bible from a feminist point of view, is this cynical breakdown of certain verses.
It explains how and why women have suffered through ages of ages -- and says something about so-called ''honour crimes'' which, by the way, happen in most religions.
Some excerpts:
"She was barren."
In the Bible it's always the woman that are "barren", never the men. And when God "opens their womb," the resulting babies are always little boys. 25:21-26
Dinah's brothers, to justify the massacre of a town for the rape of their sister, say: "Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?" To the author of Genesis, rape is a crime against the honor of men rather than against a woman. 34:31
Rachel dies in childbirth; but at least she had another son. And in the Bible, a woman is expected to die happily as long as she has a son. 35:17-18
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, ... nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's." In the Bible, women are the property of men; they are his possessions -- like an ox or an ass. 20:17
God explains how to go about selling your daughter -- and what to do if she fails to please her new master. 21:7
When "Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord" he was told to count "every male from a month old and upward." Women and girls didn't count as persons. 3:15-16
There's more. Go forth and readeth the whole thing.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Food Assistance ProgramsThere are many programs to help people with their food needs, such as emergency food help, Expedited SNAP (formerly called Food Stamps) and Minnesota Food Assistance. To return to the top, just use the right scroll bar. How can we help you?Get food nowIf you need food right now, Minnesota Hunger Partners and the Minnesota Food Helpline (1-888-711-1151), a program of Hunger Solutions Minnesota, can help you find a food shelf, food bank or meal. Also check MinnesotaHelp.info for a listing of emergency food resources around the state. Find information on the Office of Economic Opportunitys Web page. You may also apply for Expedited SNAP which makes benefits available quickly to households unable to meet their food needs. If you are eligible, benefits will be issued within 24 hours of your interview. Contact your county (PDF) for more information. Expedited SNAP is available to the following types of households: You may receive expedited service in Minnesota if you meet the above requirements, even if you received SNAP in another state during the month of application. Many families are concerned about the rising costs of food. This pamphlet from the USDA (PDF) contains tips on how to stretch food dollars through budgeting, food selection and low-cost recipes. Apply for SNAPWhat is the SNAP program?SNAP is a county-run federal program that helps Minnesotans with low incomes get the food they need for sound nutrition and well-balanced meals. The program issues electronic SNAP benefits that can help stretch your household food budget. This flier provides more information about the SNAP program (PDF). What is the Minnesota Food Assistance Program?The Minnesota Food Assistance Program (MFAP) was created by the Minnesota Legislature in response to federal law changes which made certain noncitizens ineligible for federally funded SNAP. MFAP uses state funds to replace the benefits lost when federal SNAP eligibility ends. MFAP is only available to noncitizens 50 years of age or older. Apply for MFAP as you would for SNAP at your county offices. Click here for more information about MFAP. How do I get started?This Screening Tool asks a few questions to help you determine if you may be eligible for SNAP. It is available in Hmong, Russian, Somali and Spanish at your county agency. Am I eligible?SNAP eligibility depends on your households income. Households with an income at or below 165 percent of the federal poverty guideline that have also received the Domestic Violence Information Brochure (PDF), will not have an asset limit. The brochure is available on this website or at your county office. Just tell your county worker that you have received the brochure. County human services agencies accept client applications, determine eligibility, and determine benefit levels in accordance with state and federal regulations. SNAP is available in all 87 Minnesota counties. What is the next step?To apply for SNAP, contact your county human services agency (PDF). You can find your county governments web site on the states Minnesota.gov website. You may also call the SNAP Hotline at (651) 431-4050 in the Twin Cities metro area or 1-800-657-3698 outside the metro area. For TTY service, call the Minnesota Relay at 711 or 1-800-627-3529. Next, go to Apply MN or print out and complete the Combined Application Form (CAF) (PDF) and have an interview. The CAF is the application counties require you to complete to apply for SNAP and cash assistance. When your benefits begin depends on the date the county receives the first page of the CAF. You can get a CAF from your local county office or from the Minnesota Department of Human Services Web site. If you are not able to go to your county office for an interview, you may request a phone interview. What about cost-of-living adjustments?Many participants in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) may have seen slight increases in benefits as of October 1, 2013, when new levels for calculating standard income and expense deductions went into effect. The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture made five cost-of-living adjustments to reflect changes in economic conditions. These increases affect SNAP eligibility and benefit determinations: Minimum and maximum allotments do not change, so some SNAP cases may not have seen any increases in benefits. SNAP recipients do not receive a written notice about these automatic adjustments. Where do I get help?Because Minnesotas SNAP program is county-administered, it is best to begin by contacting the county office where you live. These links may be helpful: Or you can call: Solve Common ProblemsProblems with your benefitsProblems with your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cardFormal complaintsIn accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, DHS is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, political beliefs or disability. To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call 1(800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TTY).

Abstract: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the accounting development process and international financial reporting standards (IFRS) in small island economies (SIEs), with particular reference to Mauritius. SIEs are different from large economies in terms of economic and political dependence, colonial influences and international pressures, as well as vulnerability to natural shocks. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses Briston's Accounting Evolutionary Theory (BAET) and the Transcendental Stage of Accounting Development (TSAD) proposed by Boolaky and adopts a descripto-explanatory research tradition to explain accounting development and IFRS in Mauritius. Data on key development economic policies between 1960 and 2008 are collected and analysed using secondary sources, whereas data related to colonisation and basis of legal system are archived from the National Library. Findings – Mauritius has experienced little difficulty compared to other countries in the African region such as Madagascar, Mozambique, Angola, Swaziland etc. in its accounting development process because it is used to the Anglo-Saxon accounting system, has adopted the phase-by-phase development process, has an adequate supply of professionally qualified accountants and made IFRS compliance mandatory in 2001 through the revised Companies Act, 2001 and through the revision of other related legislations. As regards IFRS, Mauritius has a legal, political, business and economic environment conducive to sustain IFRS. Research limitations/implications – This paper applies BAET to examine accounting development from basic book-keeping to IFRS adoption in Mauritius. It also explains that there is a transcendental stage of accounting development which BAET has not taken into consideration. Originality/value – There is no previous study which has used BAET and TSAD to examine accounting development and IFRS in small island jurisdictions. Previous studies have mostly focused on large economies. This paper also provides a basis for future research in similar jurisdictions. |

CASTROVILLE, Calif.--Monterey County Sheriffs' deputies tried to pull over a silver Toyota RAV 4 around 11:30 last night for running a red light at the intersection of Merritt Street and Salinas Street in Castroville. The vehicle was found to be stolen.
The driver failed to stop and led deputies on a high-speed chase through Castroville and into Salinas, at times reaching speeds of more than 120 miles an hour.
The driver then got onto Highway 101 going south. Deputies put up spike strips and were able to stop the car. The chase lasted 30 minutes and spanned more than 50 miles.
The driver is a juvenile and was found to be in possession of a loaded firearm as well as being a known gang member.
He was booked into the Monterey County Juvenile Hall on numerous weapons violations, felony evading, and gang-related charges.

Hi I'm a teenager from east London an I've always wanted to surf when I grow up and I'm almost old enough to rebel against my past ways and hit the surf for real but there's a few factors stopping me.
My mum and dad aren't surfers. I live in London where the closest thing to surfing is a wave machine at the local pool. I've heard that you should always surf with a mate but my best mate can't swim and I don't see how I'm going to persuade any others to move to the coast with me. I'm great on a belly board as I've been doing this since I was 8 and haven't gone a month with out a session. if I want to be a regular surfer what board do I start on ( I'm not getting a fomie because i will only use it a few times. I can't get a custom board from the surf shop because I don't live within 100 miles of one. My grandad owns a 1970s short board and a longboard both of witch I'm due to in heritage but I'm 16 and he's still got a good 10 years on him. last point ( I promise). what uk area do I move to bearing in mind woolacoombe ( devon) is my favourite surf spot.???
Thankyou if anyone does awnser any questions.

Q: Where is Records located and what are your hours?
A: We are located at the LVMPD Headquarters Complex, 400 S. Martin Luther King Blvd., Building C. We are open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday including most holidays (we are closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day) and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Q: How much does it cost to get copies of reports or arrest records?
A: We charge $9.00 for a copy of a crime report and $9.00 for an arrest record, also known as a background check.
Q: Can I get a copy of someone else's arrest records?
A: Only the subject of the arrest record may get copies of their record, unless they authorize someone else specifically to obtain the records. Authorization must be written and notarized and the person authorized must have picture identification.
Q: Can I find out if I'm wanted?
A: The best way to find this information is to contact the courts directly. Because we cannot verify identity over the telephone, we can't release the information if you call. If you come to Records in person, we are required to notify an officer, and you may be arrested.
Q: How can I find out more about my case?
A: The detective handling your case is the best source of information. Call the Financial and Property Crimes Bureau or the Crimes Against Persons Bureau and let them know you would like to speak to the Detective handling your case. If you have the event number, let them know you have the number because it's easier to look up your case with the number.
Q: Where else can I file a report other than Records?
A: You can file a report at any of the area commands (except Downtown, Bolden, Southeast and South Central Area Commands) Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays. Area commands take their last report of the day at 4 p.m. Gun registrations will be taken until 5 p.m. Depending on the type of report you need to file, you may also be able to make the report over the phone. When you call our non-emergency number (311), you can tell the call taker you would like to file the report over the phone and they can assist you.

Kiefer Thomas | SW Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2007 | |
Was extremely surprised at how short this ridge actually was. Nice summit but a little disappointing. Was expecting, I don't know, more of a challenge? Good day out though. Yankee Boy Basin is stunning! Scrambled with Shanahan96, JamieNellis and Aaron Ihinger. | ||

WOW- what FUN sustained class 3 climbing! A beautiful day for my 42nd 14er summit:-) We loop hiked and came down the standard route... Only negative: I was shocked at the number of people going down the gully without helmets on (it seemed that the parking lot of people kicked down a rock every 2 minutes)! | ||

Great follow-up to the SP Gathering in the San Juans. I enjoyed a second day with kilimanjaro1, vanny37, chicagotransplant and kane. I can see why Aaron says this is his favorite CO 14er. Beautiful mountain and fun climb, especially the snow and scramble at the top. | ||

vanny37 | Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
Climbed with chicagotransplant and Kane. Great ridge route. The main gully to the ridge had some soft snow that required a few harder moves than most likely would be required with the gully dry. Top portion of the climb is stellar. Descended standard route. | ||

chicagotransplant | SW Ridge ascent, standard route descent Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
SP Gathering "epilogue" peak. Kane, Vanny37 and I headed up the ridge while kilimanjaro1 and jeffrawn headed up the Lavender Col route. Still some snow and ice in gullies used to gain the ridge crest. 3rd class mud, wet rock, loose rock and a few 4th class moves will also be required until it fully melts out. The ridge crest itself is great though! Also still snow on the upper gully on the standard route (which we descended). | ||

kilimanjaro1 | Lavender Col and Snow Couloir Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
Did this one the day after the SP gathering. Beautiful weather and a nice fun climb. The upper couloir was still full of snow but was soft enough that we could easily kick step up the couloir. Best summit view I have ever seen. Just incredible! A great weekend in the San Juans. | ||

Beautiful day for a hike, even though the snow clouds moved in on us about 2/3 up. We enjoyed the hike anyway. Peak was socked in when we got there, so didn't get to see the view, but hope to go back just for that. Sun was out and shining bright again, about 2/3 down. It's amazing how that works. :o) | ||

Nothin' like a little bluegrass fest in telluride and then some fun in the mountains. we did some scrambling up the ridge with mostly rock, and some snow, from blue lakes. It took longer to walk down the standard route, that way is thin slippery scree, and I think that the steeper way we came up would be better for the descent as well. great view of surrounding mountains from the top. | ||
