LAST DAYS OF BRIGHAM. THE PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION. THE STORY OF THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF U. S. REVENUE ASSESSOR TAGGART—ELDER TAYLOR'S REPLY TO MR. COLFAX—THE ELECTION—ROWDYISM OF THE BRIG-HAMITES—WOMAN SUFFRAGE—THE NEW MOVEMENT—WHAT NEXT ? SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 16.—The story of the attempted assassination of U. S. Assessor Taggart in this city, which has been published widely, rests on a "slimpsy" foundation. He told the circumstance to me as follows: As he was going into the Post-Office one night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, two men came running by, a little way apart. The first struck at him as he passed; he couldn't tell whether with a knife or a slung-shot. The blow was not a heavy one, and was warded off, seeing which the second man turned and ran across the street and away. Mr. Taggart had had some words with a Mormon recently discharged from his employ, and thought this was, perhaps, begun by him or some of his friends for a thrashing, and given up as a bad job. These bloody "saints" have enough to answer for with-out charging crimes against them falsely. ELDER TAYLOR VS. MR. COLFAX. "Elder" John Taylor appears in the Mormon press re-cently with a flippant review of an article written by Mr. Colfax on the Mormons, and published first in The Inde-pendent. Mr. Taylor begs the question through six solid columns of The Deseret News with an air of triumph that completely overwhelms him. It remains, after all he says or can say, either in the | nature of a defense, a denial of the charges In the indictment of his people, or a counter indictment of ours, that the Mormons are not a religious sect so much as they are a band of land pirates, by their creed and practice the common and mortal enemies of the human race. "The earth is the Lord's and He has given it to his Saints," said Joseph, "Ye, are his Saints." The perpetual Convention of Bishops, called "The Utah Legislature," has perpetrated the biggest joke of the age by giving woman in Utah the elective franchise. Two years ago, some of the idlers around Brigham put up in the regular way one of his nephews, a mere boy, for City Judge. Brigham was at Provo, and his lieuten-ants, Wells and Cannon, finding general dissatisfaction with the nomination, allowed Bishop Woolley to be run in his place. The Bishop was elected, but Brigham made so much fuss about it that he dared not qualify, and so the old incumbent hold over. The crime was, first, presuming to do anything without consulting him ; and, second, scratching the "regular" ticket. This, I believe, is the only instance in the history of Utah where there has been a sign of opposition to the Church or Brigham ticket. Indeed, there never was anything so farcical as a Mormon election, Church or State. THE WOMAN VOTE. Now, these inheritors of the promise to Abraham—that his seed should possess the gates of their enemies "—have admitted their women, whom they first broke of their rank in creation and made breeding cattle, to par-ticipation in this farce! Stuck their heads in the sand, and imagined their entire bodies covered! The truth is, there seemed a fair chance of the Opposition to Brigham electing the Delegate to Congress and the Territorial Leg-islature next August, unless something desperate was done. Giving their concubines the suffrage arms them with four-fold means for the perpetuation of their power. The less they say about their high motives in this, the less ridicule they will subject themselves to. OPPOSITION. But an effort was made, pending the late city election, to break into this serried phalanx of dumb, devoted stu-pidity. On the evening of the 10th about; 100 Gentiles and Godbeites held a preliminary meeting in the Masonic Hall, at which an Opposition ticket, headed by Henry W. Laurence for Mayor, and bearing the name of Bishop Woolley as candidate for Probate Judge, was agreed upon, and an Executive Committee, composed of resi-dents of from five to twenty years' standing, appointed to manage the affair. The meeting adjourned to the next evening and a more public place to get a larger attend-ance. Meanwhile posters had been put out for mass meeting, headed, "Come one, come all," which were injudiciously, as it proved, made to do duty for the adjourned meeting. The Brighamites saw their chance, by reason of this un-guarded invitation, and determined to take possession of the meeting, which they did half an hour early—a mob numbering hundreds, many of them armed, led by bish-ops, teachers, and some of the highest dignitaries of the city, church, and Territory. When they forced the doors and rushed in from front and rear at once, tearing up and breaking the benches, yelling like Indians, jeering and threatening, Mr. Kelsey stated that "it was an ad-journed meeting, of which he was regularly Chairman, but that, as they had overpowered him, he submitted." They hustled one of their number into the chair, nom-inated by acclamation the whole regular Church ticket, and then adjourned sine die, having shown the world that they take to small-beer politics like ducks to water. The Bishop then left, and Kelsey tried to get the mob to empty the house, saying there would be no more busi-ness done there that night. Some one replied, "We daren't trust you," at which the little band of Gentiles and Godbeites, numbering a dozen or so, stepped down from the stand and walked through the crowd and out at the front, happily without a collision. Drifting about, they finally gathered at Col. Kahn's store, when the mob again appeared at the door. Then they got the OddFellows to adjourn a session they were holding in their Hall, intending to use that. But concluding finally that there would be bloodshed if they persisted in the attempt to hold a meeting, they desisted, and scattered to their places of rest. Next morn-ing Brigham's chief clerk appeared at The Tribune office, to tell Mr. Kelsey that any bill for damages (to seats, &c.) would be paid if presented to Bishop Little, thus acknowledging the little game to have been the work of the Church. The Tribune came out the same day; the editors and the committee, told the story of the night before, presented the ticket agreed upon in preliminary caucus, and urged the necessity of voting, at whatever personal risk. They were well satis-fied at having compelled "the immaculate and infallible Zion, dressed in her beautiful garments," to acknowledge them, as an opposition, and at her own voluntary and extra-ordinary signalizing of her entry into the dusty arena of Ward politics, by a resort to the lowest strategy known to them. The more prominent actors in this mistaken business, on the part of the Church, were grouped about the streets, with the most self-satisfied air on their faces ever seen. This time it was a very one-sided affair. It isn't much of a trick for five hundred bravos to browbeat twenty honest men; but before long the two sides, since there are two sides, may be more equally matched, when this little game will return to plague the inventors. Those laugh best who laugh last. It is one of the most singular phases of this most singular phenomenon that, its victims so hug the chains that fetter them. Nothing could be more sad, not to say shameful, than the specta-cle of 3,000 women meeting together as they did in this city a few days ago, to advocate their own degrada-tion. It would be inexplicable on any other ground than the fact that polygamy de facto is all that stands between them and disgrace. Abolish that, so that it will not exist in fact more than in law, and all these women are prosti-tutes, in plain English. But one would think they would rather bear the shame themselves than condemn their children and children's children to it. During the morning the Gentiles thought of applying to the Governor of the Territory for protec-tion at the polls, the spirit manifested by the Church having excited fears of personal violence should they presume to vote. But upon reflecting that the Governor ad no power to call out anybody for that purpose but, Brigham's militia, it was concluded to apply to the Mayor of the city for such protection, and also for the privilege of challenging and assisting in clerking. He replied to the Committee, but gave them no satisfaction. On Sunday evening the Bishops duly instructed the faithful at the ward meetings, in many cases "stuffing" them with the most outrageous lies about our people and Govern-ment. "Brigham expected every Mormon to do his duty" on the eventful morrow. HOW THE VOTING WAS DONE. The fact that there is hut one polling place in the city made it and vicinity very crowded. For the first time in the history of the town canvassers with tickets in hand assailed the innocent voter, clamorously forcing upon his attention the names and virtues of their favorite candi-dates. Only five or six of the sisters voted. One of these, inadvertently mentioning that she wished to vote for Laurence for Mayor, was forbidden to deposit her ballot. Some of the Gentiles objected to having their ballots numbered, when they were returned to them. There was considerable stir round the polls, no rowdyism, and little fun. The atmosphere of the place is not suggestive of fun. There was one "saintly" canvasser who kept crying, "Vote the free and independent ticket, Daniel H. Wells for Mayor." He no doubt thought there were bigger fools present than himself, which there weren't. There was a great crowd, and as often as the police would allow, a batch would be jammed through the doorway into the hall. These would vote, there being two sets of judges and clerks, and pass out another way, when another charge would be pressed through the door. Men living a hundred miles from the city voted. Boys at-tempted to, but desisted on being challenged. No one knows how many foreigners voted, nor how many who suppose themselves to have been naturalized by the Probate Courts, nor how much repeating and proxy voting was done. A Godbeite named Brooks says that, the clerks often, by slight-of-hand, substituted Orthodox for Heterodox tickets. After the polls were closed the judges sent a note to Secretary Mann, inviting him to he present at the counting of the ballots. He did not appear, and so no one knows whether the announcement of the result in the theater that evening was correct or not. It was in round numbers: Orthodox, 2,000; Heterodox, 300. Some of the best-informed and oldest residents of the city say there are no more than 1,200 legal voters ill it. There are 200 who have openly joined the Godbeites, all voters, and there are certainly as many Gentile voters, to say nothing of 100 or 200 Josephites. Thus is the railroad gradually solving the "Mormon problem." First, we have a public print in Salt Lake City daring to discuss all measures affecting the public interest. Next, men cut off from the Church and still permitted, because the eyes, if not the clutch of the world is upon the head Danite, to live. They think and speak their own minds and not that of another. They acknowl-edge that they have been groping in dense and life-long darkness, building on a false foundation, going backward instead of forward. They organize a church on ad-vanced principles; they preach loyalty to the Govern-ment, they in effect abandon polygamy. I know what I say. That is coming. At present it is too strong meat for these babes. They have stumbled out of Brighamism into Universal-ism, to which they have super-added Spiritualism—both as disreputable, nearly, as stealing—and they think they have received "the grandest revelation ever vouchsafed to man." With all this, they are infinitely preferable to the besotted Brighamites. Next, we have men presum-ing to run a munioipal ticket in the Holy City of Brig-ham in opposition to his most high and mighty behests. The "Vice-Regent of God" has been forced down from his lofty throne and compelled to recognize these men, and, what is more, treat them with what passes in popu-lar politics for civility. He dare not kill them. And it is not yet a year since the continent was banded by the iron rail. WHAT WILL BRIGHAM DO ? What next ? Brigham and Smith and Wells, the reigning triumvirate, are going down below the Rio Colorado soon on an exploring expedition. Some say it is his final exodus from the country—that he has been quietly preparing for it a year or so, deeding houses and property to such of his concubines as he is going to abandon—that he will doom certain apostles and Gentiles to the knife before he goes, the sentence not to be exe-cuted, however, till he gets a good way off, so that the blood can in nowise attach to his skim ; that he will in-stall Cannon here as Chief Devil, set up. "The King-dom of God" anew in some sweet dell of Arizona, gath-ering such of the faithful as will unto It, destroying of course what they can't carry away, appoint his son Brigham to succeed him as President, his sons John and Joseph to be young Brig's Councilors, and then give up the ghost, submitting, only to death, the self-willed little autocrat! Some of the leading schismatics are badly scared at this prospect. The other day Prof. Tullidge was ar-rested. ostensibly for being too deep in his cups, really in the hope of getting important papers from his person. You should have seen him—a little, dried-up, weazen-faced old man, with small, black, deep-set eyes burning as a reptile's, walking the streets on his toes, looking up at the windows, backward and over his shoulders. "What's the matter with you ?" said a friend. "O, my throat isn't worth a cent." A preacher of Daniteism for a score of years, he knew its dark secrets, and trembled for the breath he drew. Kelsey's mother is one of Brig-hams wives, and the old man is particularly furious that his adopted son should have the presumption to think tor himself. Kelsey and Harrison are lifcely to have their throats cut with considerable "saintly " rancor—Godbe and Lawrence in the utmost tenderness of brotherly love. Their best safeguard at present is that some of the Danites have joined them, and they know how to strike back. But I imagine that Brigham is not yet ready to leave this country. He has always an honorable retreat, one involving no humiliation. Lot the Government conclude that Mormon polygamy must cease at any cost, and so signify to Brigham in an unmistakable manner, taking care to have it understood that it is the deliverer and not the oppressor of the Mormon people. Bring some prominent delinquent to trial, and convict him. The case will be appealed, and meanwhile polygamy ceases, for Brigham can say to his people. "This is now a matter between the Government of the United States and the government of the universe. Before any one of you defy the authority and power of the earthly ruler, be very sure within yourself that the heavenly ruler has com-manded you so to do." How many would be likely to find such indwelling testimony as would cause them to stand out against the law? It should be remembered that there are but few of the saints living who were driven, as they style it, from Missouri and Illinois. The most of the present members of the church have been brought directly here from Europe, and their condition has been infinitely improved by the change. They have no reason to hate the Government whatever, and are kept up to the Mormon standard of hostility only by the outrageous lies of their leaders. Not one in three of them is a polygamist. BRIGHAM'S FORMER EXPERIENCE. Brigham has been tried in this wise before. Years ago Gen. Connor introduced a provost guard into the city, upon which thousands of Mormon militia assembled with their shot-guns and corn knives, resolved to conquer or die. After a few days it became apparent that a collis-ion would occur unless they were disbanded and re-turned home, and Connor sent word that if there should be a drop of Gentile blood shed through the agency of the said militia, ho would give them 30 minutes to move their women and children out of the town, which he would then batter about their ears. Immediately the re-cruits, which looked as though they might have come from Sleepy Hollow, departed in every direction for their homes, and it having come to Brigham through a spy that it was in Connor's mind to arrest him, he went to the Chief-Justice and gave bonds to appear any time he should be wanted. Brigham is more of a fox than a lion. He is not going to Arizona for good, although, in case things should go too hard against him, he would doubt-less rather know the nature and character of that country than not. It is quite as likely, too, I think, that he should flee thither from his own people as from the Government. He has expended half a million dollars' worth of tithing a year for many years, "dividing nothing with nobody, and accounting for nothing to nobody." There is little else to show for it of a public character than the Tabernacle Square and what is in it. The rest Brigham has used purchasing and improving property, having, building, &c., &c. All this is hold by Brigham Young, so far as anybody in or out of the church knows, and when he dies will natural-ly fall to his children. Brigham differs from Joseph Smith in being avaricious. Joseph was everything for his church; Brigham is everything for himself. His leading passions are love of power and avarice. The theater was built with tithing, and lots of other buildings the prophet lives in and rents. The people, from whom the tenth of their gross earnings have been exacted, upon pain of excommunication, these many years, might take a notion to call him to account for it. There is no telling where rebellion will stop when once it is fairly in-augurated. It is pretty fairly inaugurated here, and very many of the more intelligent, and influential mem-bers of the church, as I believe, are only awaiting a favor-able opportunity to join it.

Would Mavericks Consider Rudy Gay Trade?
Posted By Derek Page On January 15, 2013 @ 12:00 pm In All,NBA | No Comments
Just over a month away from the 2013 NBA Trade Deadline, trade winds are already stirring as one of the most controversial owners in sports has come out virtually guaranteeing his team makes a move. Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban has come out and publicly stated that his team is going to be extremely active over the next month exploring trade options.
"There's a 100 percent chance that we're going to look to do something," Cuban told Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News recently.
Cuban wasn't finished there.
Just a day later, Cuban reinforced that he's committed to making changes to the Mavericks, who currently sit at 12th in the Western Conference with a disappointing 16-23 record.
"We're letting everybody know the Bank of Cuban's open," Cuban told Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News. "And if it's the right deal, we don't mind taking back money. But we're not going to do a trade just to do a trade. It's got to be worthwhile.
"Every day, I'm going through rosters, trying to come up with ideas for [Mavericks' General Manager] Donnie [Nelson],"
Despite Dallas putting together a nice little three-game winning streak over the past week, it's clear that the Mavericks owner hasn't been a fan of what he's seen from his team so far this season
Even Mavericks' head coach Rick Carlisle has iterated recently that he believes this season is going to continue to be an uphill climb with the team currently in place.
"It's going to be work for us," Carlisle said before Monday's 113-98 blowout win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. "I'm not under any false presumptions that we've got it figured out and that's not how this year's going to be. Every game's going to be challenging."
Looking at the Mavericks' roster, it may be easier said than done trying to put together enticing trade offers to propose to other teams around the NBA. As the "Bank of Cuban" statement alluded to, Dallas has plenty of expiring contracts to allow another team to make a salary dump that includes a talent the Mavs are interested in. While that's a solid starting point, the Mavericks don't exactly possess the young talent to go along with expiring contracts that perspective teams generally covet.
One name that's been thrown around quite a bit, not just with Dallas, but across the NBA has been Memphis Grizzlies' small forward Rudy Gay. Despite featuring the fourth best record in the brutally talented Western Conference at 24-12, the Grizzlies have seemingly been dangling their budding young superstar most of the season.
For the Mavericks, a team looking for that second superstar to place next to former NBA Most Valuable Player Dirk Nowitzki now and hope he becomes the face of the franchise later. If Memphis were to find a group of players they covet on the Mavs that came close to his roughly $16.4 salary this season, the 26-year old Gay is seemingly an excellent fit.
Still, it's difficult to see Memphis disposing of Gay in what would amount to nothing more than a salary dump. With a team that's right in the thick of contention in the West, it's mind boggling that the Grizzlies are even discussing a deal behind the scenes for one of the most talented players on the roster.
Even if it isn't Gay that ends up coming to Dallas, there's little doubt that Cuban and the Mavericks front office are itching to make a deal by the February 21 deadline. Cuban has noted that Dirk Nowitzki is off the table, and it's not likely that O.J. Mayo will be apart of any deal either considering his contract status for next season, but virtually every other player on the Mavs' roster could be available.
That being said, let's take a look at the most valuable assets Dallas has to offer moving forward:
Expiring Contracts
Looking at this Mavericks roster, it's clear that this was not only expected to, but designed to be a one-and-done team in 2013. Cuban has been clear about his desire to possess financial flexibility heading into the summer of 2013 and he's done just that in Dallas. When the 2012-13 NBA season concludes, there will be just five players with guaranteed contracts on this Mavericks team heading into the offseason.
There's a total of roughly over $20 million in either expiring or potentially expiring contracts (including potential turned-down Qualifying Offers for Darren Collison and Rodrigue Beaubois) that Dallas can offer to a potential trade partner. Cost-cutting teams willing to unload some talent in exchange for cap relief will likely be giving these Mavs a call come February.
Darren Collison
If bargain-bin talent is more on the agenda of a prospective trade partner, Dallas also has a few guys that still have the talent to make a difference in today's NBA. With Collison, the 25-year old starting point guard (as of today) for the Mavericks has been largely hit or miss this season but the combination of his low salary and potential expiring contract could be enticing to other teams.
Especially considering the way he's come on as of late (15.4 points on 53 percent shooting, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals per over his last five), Collison could be an attractive option for a team looking to put their faith in a young point guard who's shown flashes of brilliance in the NBA. Even if Collison doesn't end up fitting their needs, a potential team could decline to make his Qualifying Offer after the season – thus making Collison a free agent and erasing his $2.3 mill off the books.
Chris Kaman
No spring chicken at 30-years old, Kaman still has value as a serviceable 7-footer that teams can plug into the starting lineup and expect double-digit scoring and decent rebounding. With averages of 13 points (50.5 percent shooting) and 6.4 rebounds per game this season, Kaman has been the Mavs best option at center this season.
Let's also not forget, as with most of these Mavs, that Kaman is only on the books for this season and would be an $8 million expiring contract this summer for a team in need of cap relief.
Shawn Marion
Though costly at roughly $17 million owed to him over the next two seasons – as he will likely choose not to exercise his early termination option this summer – Marion could be the most talented of this bunch. Even as one of the elder statesman in Dallas at 34-years of age, Marion still resonates as one of the top defenders in the game.
Guarding nearly every position on the floor from point guards to power forwards, Marion has averaged over 10 points per game this season and leads Dallas in rebounding at 8.1 per contest. Even though he's not likely to leave over $9 million on the table next season, Marion could be just what the doctor ordered for a playoff-contending squad looking for a defensive stopper – particularly a defensive-minded team like the Grizzlies.
Probably the most surprising aspect about the players in this group is that all three of them have a higher Player Efficiency Rating (PER) than the more flashy star in Gay. Actually, with a PER of just 15 this season, Gay has only the fifth-best number on the Grizzlies and what would be just the 11th-best on the Mavericks.
However, Gay would be the second-leading scorer for Dallas at 17.8 points per and a change of scenery could be just what he needs to get back on track after dealing with trade rumors every year in Memphis. Time will only tell if the Mavericks have what it takes to land a player like Gay but, as of right now, it's clear that Cuban and the Mavericks are going to try to do whatever it takes to turn this season around.

If Jamie Day looks familiar, you either pay close attention to 1-800-Ask-Gary commercials or frequent Florida Studio Theatre.
Day, 33, is the lone, female cast member in FST's "Laughing Matters 2009," a musical parody that pokes fun at Sarasota politics, personalities and culture. She performed in the company's first run of the show in 2007, and this year she hams it up again in a new set of contemporary spoofs.
From ripping Sarah Palin in rimless glasses and brunette wig, to mocking downtown Sarasota's roundabout turmoil, "'Laughing Matters'," says Day, "is like vaudeville meets sketch comedy meets 'Saturday Night Live' for Sarasota."
A Southgate resident, Day is also one of several television spokespeople for 1-800-Ask-Gary's lawyer and medical-referral services, a gig she landed after learning that the woman with whom she shared a StairMaster at the gym was the wife of Ask Gary owner Gary Kompothecras.
An Evansville, Ind., native, Day came to Sarasota in 2005 to work on an FST play called "The Last Schwartz." After seven years in New York City and one hectic year in Los Angeles, the 5-foot-9 actress was exhausted and ready for a change of pace.
She began coaching acting classes and in 2007 founded Acting with Integrity, a program that offers after-school- and summer-camp drama lessons through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sarasota County and the Sarasota Partnership for Children's Mental Health.
She now commutes once a week to Nova Southeastern University, in Fort Lauderdale, where she is studying to get her master's degree in drama therapy and marriage-and-family therapy.
"Now that I've taken acting to a different level, my passion for it has returned a hundred-fold," she says.
"Laughing Matters 2009" continues through June 6, at FST's Goldstein Cabaret. To purchase tickets, call 366-9000 or visit www.floridastudiotheatre.org. For more on Acting with Integrity, call 646-221-8558 or visit www.actingwithintegrity.com.
"I played Ado Annie a bajillion times, and 'Overture' still gives me goose bumps."
"I would love to play Sally Bowles, even though I'm always told I'm too tall, or too voluptuous, or too corn-bred for the role."
'Les Misérables'
"I was in high school the first time I saw 'Les Mis.' I still cry every time I hear the score."
'The 1940s Radio Hour'
"It's not an original musical, but it's one of the most fun times I've ever had on stage. It's set during World War II and centered around a holiday show for the troops."
'Crazy for You'
"I'm crazy about anything Gershwin. I just love music from the 1930s and 1940s. Berlin. Howard Arlen. They were such wonderful wordsmiths."

ECOSOC Ministerial Review concludes with adoption of the Declaration |
Saturday, 11 July 2009 | |
By: Dinisha Fernando The Ministerial Declaration titled "Implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to global public health" was adopted at the end of the High-level Segment of the ECOSOC on 9th of July 2009. Sri Lanka was referred to twice in the preamble, with appreciative comments regarding its initiative to host a Regional Preparatory Ministerial Meeting and its Voluntary National Presentation. Earlier in the morning, Dr. H.A.P. Kahandaliyanage, Secretary to the Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition, participated and spoke at the High-level segment general debate about the concerns of developing countries as the world copes with a multitude of problems. Today was the last day of the ECOSOC High-Level Segment and thus, the Ministerial Review. The Secretary declared: "In today's globalized world, external circumstances significantly impact on national progress. Against this background, we are concerned that the multiple crises facing the world could even reverse the progress made by developing countries in achieving the MDGs. As a result of the global financial crisis, resources available to the health sector from within national budgets and from international partners are likely to shrink. Simultaneously, other global challenges such as the world food crisis, food insecurity and rising food prices are likely to adversely affect public health, and to aggravate under-nutrition and malnutrition. Similarly, the adverse long-term impacts of climate change are likely to affect human health in multiple ways." Dr. Kahandaliyanage referred to Sri Lanka's own experience in dealing with these challenges and assured its commitment to the Internationally Agreed Development Goals (IADGs) and Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) despite these difficulties: "Development as it is understood today and as embodied in the IADG's and MDG's, encompasses goals related to human well-being, including freedom and empowerment of people, distribution patterns and environmental sustainability. Despite added challenges, such a broader dimension of development is aligned with Sri Lanka's pluralistic democratic traditions and its commitment to a people-centered development. Sri Lanka is committed to the realization of the IADGs and MDGs that we have collectively undertaken." Also discussed were the rewards reaped from this commitment, for while in many other countries, "improvements in people's health conditions followed economic growth; Sri Lanka, however, used its revenues to improve people's health conditions even before attaining such progress. It is said that globally millions are found unable to seek and obtain needed health care because of inability to meet costs. Sri Lanka, however, has developed over the years a very healthcare-friendly system for its people." The Secretary discussed how Sri Lanka's high literacy rate, educational standard, and values in gender equality have contributed to its success in the health sector, listing many healthcare triumphs regarding the infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, immunization program, and life expectancy among other examples and announced that these "health indicators are considered rather exceptional for a developing country with a GNP per capita of US$ 1970." Yet having attained massive success with the healthcare sector does not give cause for Sri Lanka and other similarly successful countries to rest on their laurels. As Dr. Kahanadliyanage warned, "Given the centrality of health to all aspects of human welfare, we need to be mindful of future challenges related to health, both at national and global levels, so that reaching MDG targets is facilitated." Sri Lanka and the rest of the world still has work to do, with the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, care for the elderly, regional disparities in healthcare, and under-nutrition due to poverty. Although Sri Lanka's Health Master Plan seeks to ameliorate these problems, Dr. Kahandaliyanage advises the global community to "explore collectively ways and means of ensuring that health systems are protected to the greatest degree possible from the impact of the world financial crisis." Representatives from Libya, Russian Federation, France, Egypt, Cuba, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Norway, are among those who contributed to the General Debate. Also, many leading NGOs including Oxfam International and Global Alliance for Women's Health spoke. Permanent Mission of Sri Lanka to the United Nations Geneva 10th July 2009 |

What Columbus County and state authorities did to close a troublesome nightclub may not have been unique, but it was smart. It brought a long train of troubles to an abrupt end. Others, take note.
Ball's Club, a perennial trouble spot, found itself in the headlines again after a Sept. 10 shooting (not its first) in which three people were wounded. A month later, it was out of business.
That's not the usual time frame.
The county didn't seize the property - an effective but costly and time-consuming process.
It didn't try to fine the operation into good behavior. That sometimes works, but other managers are able to shrug off fines as a business expense, and, in the case of absentee landlords, as someone else's problem.
What county and state did was use their influence to leverage an agreement with the club's owner. The owner keeps the property but agrees never to do the things that make it possible to maintain a public nuisance there. Here's the list:
No club.
No bar.
No dance hall.
No poolroom.
No arcade or game room.
No adult establishment.
No business that operates between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
No possession of alcohol on the premises. By anyone.
Consent agreements come with an enforcement mechanism, of course. If the owner violates it, or lets anyone else do so, that's contempt of court and could get the owner as much as six months in jail. That isn't what you'd call Draconian, but it's a respectable attention-getter.
This approach won't work in every situation. A good lawyer could reel off a list of no-go scenarios after only a moment's thought. But this was one of the more familiar kinds of nuisance, with lives endangered and even cut short. Its activities made it both a blight and a menace. People who never visited the place were afraid of it. The county didn't want the property. It didn't want endless litigation or the associated costs. So it made nice and played "Let's Make a Deal."
The result? A court order that will, according to District Attorney Jon David, "allow citizens in the community to live without fear."
The agencies involved, said Sheriff Chris Batten, "have written the last chapter at a place that has a violent history."
Reaching a bit farther abroad, John Ledford of the state Alcohol Law Enforcement Division called the nuisance abatement initiative "a tool that local communities can use to stop nuisances at places like these for good."

My son is having surgery in a few weeks. The nurses have given us pamphlets and educational materials to learn more about it, in preparation for something called "informed consent." What does this mean? - Ned
Informed consent is a legal term. It means that you are fully aware of the facts of a certain situation (in this case, a surgical procedure) before agreeing to it. In order to obtain informed consent, your doctor will discuss certain things with you:
During the discussion, you will have a chance to ask questions. Asking questions is your right and responsibility — remember, there's no such thing as a silly question. You'll be asked to sign a written consent form before the surgery is performed. If you can't be there to sign the form, you'll be contacted by phone to give your consent.
In rare emergencies, a parent may not be available to give consent for a treatment or procedure for a young child — for example, in the case of an unconscious patient who comes into the emergency room. In these cases, doctors will operate using the principle of "presumed"or "implied"consent, using their professional judgment to do what is best for the child.

Just wondered if anyone could help.
I recently bought a Mondeo 2006 TDCI 130 Titanium, it is absolutely mint and I love it despite having done 100,000. Since I have had it it has had a problem starting while the engine is hot. First thing in the morning no problem, straight after work no worries but if I stop off anywhere on the way home or have to pop in to a shop then it struggles to start again. Up until now it has just been a matter of keep trying until it starts which although a pain only usually takes 2-3 goes so not the end of the world.
Anyway the other day I had to stop of at 2 places in town and each time it was harder to start, I still made it home though. The next morning though it would not start at all. It sounded like a flat battery and the ignition turn over was very laboured I tried jumping it but no joy. I left it for a day and tried to start it again and this time the battery was definately dead and when I tried to jump it again I noticed that the glow plug light was on and the check engine light too.
The garage where i bought it have taken it back to check the problem (not main dealer) and I got a call to say that it was the fly wheel?? can this be correct? as looking on various other sites and forums it sounds like it could be the Fuel Filter or that my PCM needs updating and injectors realigning?
I have called a maindealer in the past to ask about updating the pcm and was told that it could blow my injectors.
Anyway Sorry to waffle on but I am not very good with engines and just want it fixed as I love driving this car when it works!
Thank you

Posted 14 August 2012 - 10:48 AM
ford did release a TSB (TSB no. 34/2006) about updateing the PCM with the latest software to cure a hot start problem and this may be the problem, a pcm updatr should not effect the injectors,it could also be the flywheel breaking down putting iron filings onto the crank sensor so remove the sensor and check if its clean.

What clock speed is your fx-4100? I've had mine at 4.8 for over a year now, but I may try for more seeing this. Just scary since I'm already north of 1.6 volts(!), but it defaults at 1.45. I'm running a 7850 and get P6657 in 3d11.
lol I know! But it came with almost that out of the box. I maxed at 61C folding. I've had it at 5ghz before, but that was just for fun
some guy on another forum said fx's don't like too much voltage?! I couldn't get mine stable pass 4.8 for over an hour, but for benches........ well whatever you can boot on it will bench and bench hard!! I did all this on air, so water should help loads. and I was running 1.6v for benching purposes and about 1.4v @ 4.5 24/7 I think I did some damage now because it wont get stable like before, hence I got the 8350. yours sounds like a good chip and if its been 4.8 I reckon you could get higher if everything is good, ie temps and mobo vrms. sometimes I wish I had it back on the 990fx to try harder, but when I was doing it I literally killed it sometimes.... even 3dmark was falling apart in places lol
Yeah, maybe I'll see if I can coax it down in voltage, but I can't increase the NB much without it crashing and I'd rather overvolt the CPU than the board (I kinda want to keep it). All the other voltages are stock. My case is covered in fans (6) and is perforated so heating was never an issue. I have been able to boot at a much lower voltage before, but it was never stable in Prime95 until I hit 1.6~. I'm trying to milk some life out of it so I can wait for Steamroller.
when I was doing the benching I would have the window open whens its freezing out, but my chip seemed so fragile with any changes. sometimes I could run prime for 30mins, crash and then run it straight after and it would be fine and solid for hours. but 4.8ghz stable is pretty good, voltage is high but it needs when over a certain frequency. it depends on the motherboard with other voltages, but my CPUNB voltage would be at 1.3+ , I sometimes hit a multi limit so used cpunb to gain a little extra which requires volts. and the cpu northbridge is in the chip so you shouldn't hurt mobo from it, and upping cpunb voltage may help bring cpu voltage down. what made me try higher clocks is beating the top spots in 3dmark11 and I done firestrike/cloudgate for a laugh. feel free to add screenshots of benches on this page, im hoping it'll help other 4*** users out.
Was able to get it to 4.5ghz stable @ 1.56-1.58v (it fluctuates), although I realized I was at 1.66-1.68v. I believe it's the fluctuation that makes it more unstable, but we'll see. I also found 5.0ghz was stable at the save voltage as before 5.0gz gets me 1 min 14 secs on Multi-Core Pi, about 6 seconds less than at 4.8. Still not very high scores, but better!
Yeah, you guys are pushing way too much voltage for not using any kind of extreme cooling. Degradation happens.
Well I am using a closed-circuit water system, but I agree. Stock is just too slow and the rest of my system doesn't OC well so I can't ramp up the clock speed much. Everything is done in the multiplier. And stock is north of 1.4v so, really it's just a 15% volt increase even at 1.6. People do way more than that to GPUs usually.
can it be done?! ive been contemplating taking the top spot for single cards on my fx4100. (3dmark11) the top spot is 4100/7970 = 8326 points my best is 4100/7950 = 8058 points however the guy with the 7970 had lower cpu clocks, but better scores so im thinking some instability lost me points or ram, fsb wasn't high enough to tie all the overclocking together. heres a link to the comparison. http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/5701215/3dm11/6373074 thoughts please?
those top scores are usually done with extreme cooling. and they are point of no return runs. at the end the chip becomes totally useless.
I got top spot with my 4100/7950 on air. but I do understand the better hardware (8350. 7970s etc) are with the bigger boys and extreme cooling used then. I jus want to know peoples opinions on the clock differences and if they think I can top single cards with the 4100.
combined scores low again?! so a while back I downgraded to a 8350. overclocked and ran some benches (in ma new mod ) I get an issue where my combined scores are about half what they should be, which leaves me about 1k points short - firestrike. heres some links for comparison. I found similar gfx and physics http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/469409/fs/389811 this is compared to my fx4100 lol http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/469409/fs/345004 ive tried HT NB, different RAM, timings etc etc and nothing helps..... if you compare and evaluate these scores closely you'll see my problem. individual scores/clocks are great but they don't add up together! please help, some kid has the top spot for my config and I need to beat him!
^^^ LOL ya nutter firestrike compared to 3dmark11. i was sat there thinking..... and thinking! but my firestrike problem still exists
degradation is a **** Hey guys, what sort of degradation rates can one expect on a 5 month old card? cards been benched pretty hard. and been folding for a bit. well when new i could hit 11.5k and there abouts 3dmark11 graphics score same drivers, several months on im finding it hard to even break the 11k barrier with same/more clocks. so is a 1,000 worth of points expected loss? thanks

Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development is the peer-reviewed Journal of the Human Development and Capabilities Association. It was launched in January 2000 to provide new perspectives on challenges of human development, capability expansion, poverty eradication, human well being, markets, growth, social justice and human rights. The human development approach recognizes that development is about more than just economic growth. It is also about improving the well being of people, and expanding the choices and opportunities they have. Development policies cut across economic, social and political issues.
The Journal publishes original work in economics, philosophy, social sciences and other disciplines that expand concepts, measurement tools and policy alternatives. It provides a forum for an open exchange of ideas among a broad spectrum of policy makers and academics, addressing issues at global, national and local levels. Human development is becoming a 'school of thought' for alternative economic approaches, and the Journal will act as a conduit for members and critics of this school.
