My Story
It all began on October 2nd 2006; on that day I packed up my golf clubs and my calculator and moved to Ireland to start my global secondment with KPMG Dublin. Yes, it was scary moving to a country where I had no friends and no family for support but that was part of my reason for choosing Dublin. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, get great work experience, meet new people and of course, travel.
The Emerald Isle
Name: Candice Zaleski
Position: Manager, Audit
Home Office: Calgary, Alberta
Current International placement: Dublin, Ireland
The Job
During those first few months when everything around me was new, it was comforting to know that I still knew how to do my job, as an audit senior. What I discovered was auditing is auditing, regardless of the country it is performed in. The KPMG Dublin office is split into three departments: FS (Financial Services), CIM (Consumer & Industrial Markets) and CHEC (Construction, Healthcare, Electronics and Communications). I was placed in and continue to work in the CHEC department. Each department is then split into smaller sub groups each managed by one partner. This was great for me, someone new coming in because I've really gotten to know the people I work with and the managers and partners above me. As one of the two largest accounting firms in the country and located in the country's capital, KPMG Dublin has a wide variety of clients. This variety has kept me on my toes and given me the chance to work as both a senior and a manager on audits in the software, property development, communications, music, pharmaceutical and the food processing industries. Clients have also ranged in sizes from mom and pop shops to multi-national firms traded on the US, London and Chinese stock exchanges. During my last two and a half years I've also gained IFRS experience, which I will be able to use back in Canada. The People
Now the best part of the job has to be the people. I lucked out, not only have I worked on a variety of clients of all sizes and got some IFRS experience along the way but my sub-group is fantastic. There are only a few secondees in the department and everyone made a huge effort to get to know me when I arrived. I remember back in the fall of 2006 when I went on my first 'weekend away' with my subgroup to a small town in Ireland. This bonding weekend comprised of wall climbing, dinner, drinks and the dreaded 'party piece'. As a newcomer into the group I was required to sing at a restaurant in front of the sub-group (and other diners) a song of my choice. I couldn't believe it when none of them had ever heard 'The Hockey Song' by Stompin Tom Connors. The Sports
Although my singing was terrible that night, I was given the opportunity to redeem myself on the KPMG Ireland volleyball team. On an annual basis, the KPMG firms across Europe come together to compete in a weekend volleyball and soccer tournament. In 2008, the tournament was held in Luxembourg, and while I can't claim to have seen a lot of the country, the weekend was one I won't forget. Volleyball during the day and partying to all hours during the night. Four days later and not only did I need a vacation but had made some great friends along the way. Life outside of KPMG
Life outside of KPMG usually starts at about half five on a Friday evening when we all head over to the pub. As you're likely aware, there is a bit of a 'pub' culture in Ireland. The Irish have this great sense of wit which I think has developed over the years as they've learned to entertain themselves in the pub while it poured rain outside. Especially in the small rural towns outside of Dublin, it's not uncommon to go into the pub for one and find yourself caught up and brought into conversations with others around you and leaving three or four hours later. Outside of the pub, rugby, Gaelic football, and hurling take centre stage. I remember my first rugby experience. I was in a pub (of course) with a group of friends watching Ireland play France in the 6 Nations Rugby tournaments. Not only was the pub standing room only but at times during the match the pub would break out singing 'Ireland's Call' or 'The Fields of Athenry'. That day stands out in my mind as one of the first days when I realized that I really loved Ireland. If you ever have the chance to attend a Gaelic football or hurling match in Ireland's 80,000 seat stadium, known as Croke Park, take it. In my first year, I decided to really get into these two sports and picked a Gaelic football team (Dublin) and a hurling team (Waterford) to support. Lucky for me a friend of mine from work was able to get tickets through his club and invited me along to a few matches. Over the past two and half years I've seen some unbelievable games and will always remember the first time I was part of a 'wave' with 79,999 other fans. In addition to watching sports, I also joined a volleyball team and more recently, my friends and I started a tag rugby team. In contrast to the tag rugby team, where I'm the only 'foreigner', the volleyball team has been a great way to meet people from different countries including Slovakia, Spain, France, the Czech Republic, and Poland. The travelling
Although not a 'hub' like London, Dublin is a great base for travelling. In the past two and half years, I've visited the home of my great, great grandfather before emigrating from Sweden to Canada, the pyramids in Egypt, the Coliseum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and many more. Every couple of months, my friends from other KPMG Canada offices also on global secondement in Europe and I will meet up. It's always a comforting thought knowing that although they're not in the same city or country as me, they're still close. This past October, several of us went to Oktoberfest in Munich for the weekend, where the guys pulled on their lederhosen and us girls fitted ourselves in our dirndls. We fit right in with the locals and before long were clinking our litre size mugs of beer along with the music. My story continues…
So here I am, over two and a half years into my global mobility secondment and still enjoying it. It would be a lie to say that over the past couple of years, my life has been great at all times. It was especially hard during those first few months after moving over when I missed my family and felt that I was losing my friends back home because I wasn't around anymore. Those feelings of loneliness were intensified even more during those first few months because although I had friends in Ireland they were not yet 'great' friends like I had back home. During that time, I remember thinking 'What was I thinking.., leaving Canada and moving to a new country ?!?!?!'. Well I can honestly say that I would have made a huge mistake and missed out on a lifetime of memories, and don't forget the great work experience, if I had decided to move back to Canada. The best advice I can offer anyone considering a global mobility secondment is to:

Producer Mukesh Bhatt is delighted with the government's decision to exempt the film industry from service tax. Filmmaker Goldie Behl termed it positive news.
The film industry was planning a nationwide shutdown to protest against central government's decision to levy service tax. The strike was called by the Film Federation of India (FFI). However, after Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's decision to exempt it, the industry has no plans to go on strike.
"There is no strike happening and I am happy and thankful with this decision. The film industry should not be burdened with the service tax," Bhatt, vice president of Film Producers' Guild, told IANS.
"Exempting the film industry from the service tax is the best gift given by the finance minister. Had it been included, the entire industry would have been wiped out," he added.
However, it was called off till the budget session after the industry officials met Mukherjee.
"I am glad that the goverment has exempted the film indusrty from service tax. It is positve news for the industry. Had it been imposed, the burden on producers would have increased a lot. I hope in future more and more initiatives are taken to lessen the burden on the industry, specilly on the producers," Behl told IANS.
Sanjeev Lamba, CEO, Reliance Entertainment, also termed the tax exemption a huge positive for the industry.
"With no service tax now on transfer of copyright and entertainment becoming a part of the negative list, this is a huge positive for the industry," Lamba said.
"There will however be a negative impact due to the general increase in service tax, excise and custom duties.The determination of bringing GST from August 12, sounds quite optimistic. It will bring radical and positive changes in the taxation," he added. – IANS

The ideal blood pressure is around 120/80. If high blood pressure is not lowered and stays high for too long, this heightened pressure can lead to other problems like stroke and heart attack.
HYPERTENSION or high blood pressure is a common condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is so high that it may eventually cause health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
As a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension is a problem that affects millions of people worldwide.
Hypertension can be categorised into primary and secondary hypertension.
Primary hypertension develops from a disease of the arteries, such as endothelial dysfunction, a condition in which the endothelium (inner lining) of blood vessels does not function normally.
On the other hand, the risk of secondary hypertension is increased by other health problems, such as genetic issues in different parts of the body and kidney disease.
While the causes of hypertension are multifactorial, of late, lifestyle factors such as unhealthy dietary habits and the lack of physical exercise, are the main factors for the increase in hypertension cases.
If blood pressure is not lowered and stays high for too long, this heightened pressure can lead to other problems like stroke and heart attack.
Understanding nitric oxide
Before 1986, nitric oxide (NO) was known to exist in the air and was thought to be an air pollutant similar to nitrogen dioxide. Given the deadly effects of nitrogen dioxide, no one suspected that NO could exist in the body.
However, my team and I went against all of those principles and decided to look for NO in the body through pharmacology testing in our laboratory because we believed that NO had the potential to be a powerful protective agent against cardiovascular disease.
The results were astounding as we discovered that the endothelial cells in the arteries produce NO through amino acids known as arginine.
NO is a chemical found in the body and is produced throughout a person's life. While NO is predominantly produced by the arteries and veins, it can also be formed in other organs.
NO has several specific functions, including lowering blood pressure, promoting erectile function and serving as a neurotransmitter to transmit signals from the nerves to the brain to do a variety of things, such as preserving memory to delay the development of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
In cardiovascular disease, NO works to lower blood pressure, keeping it at normal levels by relaxing vascular smooth muscle and improving blood flow.
Hence, when there is a deficiency of NO in the body, a person is more likely to develop hypertension.
By discovering what NO is and how it reduces blood pressure, many studies were conducted to demonstrate that hypertension can be prevented if normal NO production is maintained.
The studies also concluded that patients who are obese, have type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular-related issues produce less NO compared to their healthier counterparts.
Consequently, the risk of hypertension in these patient groups is higher.
Although lifestyle changes can go a long way towards controlling high blood pressure, healthcare professionals may recommend medication to lower blood pressure, in addition to diet and exercise routines.
Among the varied medications available for hypertension, the main aim of treatment is unequivocally the same – to lower blood pressure effectively without causing serious side effects to patients.
Ultimately, the type of medication prescribed depends on the patient's severity of high blood pressure and whether they also have other medical problems.
Beta blockers are a common class of medications for hypertension. This class of medication works by inhibiting or blocking two of the more commonly known sub-types of beta receptors, the beta-1 and beta-2 receptors.
Consequently, there is reduction in the workload of the heart and vasodilatation or opening of the blood vessels. As a result, the heart beats at a slower pace and with less force.
Beta-1 receptors are mainly found in the heart, and blockage of these receptors leads to a decrease in heart rate and force of the heart contraction.
Meanwhile, beta-2 receptors are mainly found in the airways, and blocking them keeps the airways constricted.
For this reason, selective beta blockers that block beta-1 receptors alone are regarded as being more effective than non-selective beta blockers that block both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors.
Additionally, the non-selective or traditional beta blockers are not well tolerated by many people, particularly elderly patients, as it decreases the cardiac output of these patients.
Traditional beta blockers are also limited in its use among diabetics and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients as it may cause insulin resistance and constriction of airways, respectively.
Owing to its selectivity for beta-1 receptors, modern beta blockers produce fewer side effects and offer a safer option for high blood pressure patients with co-morbidities.
Many cardiologists and hypertension experts have recognised nebivolol as one of the most selective modern beta blockers available for patients.
Nebivolol has a dual mode of action as it works as a selective beta-1 blocker, as well as a vasodilator to stimulate NO production.
The combination of beta-1-adrenoceptor antagonism and NO produces a synergetic effect in lowering blood pressure without producing a decrease in cardiac output.
Due to its unique properties and good side effects profile, nebivolol has been shown to be safe for use in both elderly patients and young patients who are active in sports.
As a selective beta blocker that stimulates NO, nebivolol is also compatible when used in high blood pressure patients who have diabetes and/or COPD, as it has been shown not to worsen glucose tolerance or airway constriction.
Furthermore, patients with high sympathetic activity, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease may also benefit from using nebivolol.
Studies have also revealed nebivolol to be the only beta blocker that is effective in preventing heart failure in elderly people who are above 70 years of age.
However, patients must adhere to the recommended dosage as prescribed by their healthcare professionals to prevent complications.
While hypertension cannot be completely cured, healthy eating, regular exercise routines and weight management can contribute to the improvement of a patient's condition.
In situations where lifestyle changes are insufficient, more patients can now take control of their condition and maintain a good quality of life with the advent of modern beta blockers that stimulate NO and have protective properties in cardiovascular disease.

We've traveled by domestic air carrier with our tandem in a hard wood case with no problem. We recently returned from a European tour with the same bike and box. Due to some fortuitous picks of airline and the complexity of airline baggage charges, it only cost us $75 extra for the roundtrip. Our bike was not damaged in any way.
Be that as it may, I started this thread as a warning to prospective European tourists. While waiting for a plane change in the Frankfurt airport, I watched the baggage handlers unload the bikes - there were several on this flight. This is how they did it: They positioned the baggage cart about 8' away from the end of the cargo belt. Then two handlers picked up each bike and threw them onto the cart, one atop the other, regardless of packaging. Not neatly, either, more of a pile.
During my tour I spoke to a German tourist whose bike was "destroyed" by Lufthansa baggage handlers. He has not been able to recover damages. His bike was in a plastic bag, as advised by a Lufthansa employee. When we arrived back in the US, we found that our bike had been traveling with the bikes of a couple who had put them in cardboard boxes. Their boxes were destroyed, torn and punched full of holes. She was not about to open the boxes at the airport, preferring to do her crying in private, so we don't know the fate of the bikes in the boxes.
Our box also collected a crack in the lid on the way back. They had thrown the bike so hard that it slid across the inside of the case and the captain's seat tube almost punched through the plywood box. One end of the rear hub was punched through the plywood, I can't imagine how. However, the bike was well-packed in the case and was not damaged. They also ripped the wheels off both our suitcases, one on the way over, one on the way back. I can't imagine how you can rip the wheels off a suitcase.
So if you go foreign, my strong advice is to have your bike in a rigid case, not cloth, not padded, not framed and padded, and not cardboard. Only a rigid case will survive this handling. And take cheap suitcases.
I was told that the baggage handlers are not employees of Lufthansa or any other airline, but rather low-bidder contract employees of the Frankfurt airport. I have no idea if this is also a problem at other European airports. I have not heard of this scale of a problem at any US airports.

Let's Bab
I think I have an issue with Korean cuisine. For some reason, it does not rate highly on my list of favourite things to eat.
This could be attributed to either Melbourne not really having any decent Korean restaurants or simply me and Korean food being as compatible as Collingwood FC and people with class. The first time I had Korean food was back in 1999 (or 2000). It was my cousin Jess' birthday and she decided to shout the family and her friends dinner at Seoul House on Russell St. I remember being excited to be cooking our own meat on a BBQ placed on our table, a foreign concept to me back then. Excitement, however, turned to disappointment when all I could taste for the rest of the night was god-awful sweetness thanks to whatever they put in the marinade. It was like they had poured an entire 2 litre bottle of coke in the mix or something.
Because of that experience, my stance towards Korean food has been somewhat negative. While I have not actively sought out Korean restaurants as a dinner destinations, I would nevertheless follow a mate there should they wish to have Korean. No matter where I went, the food at every single place never did anything for me. And every time I walked out of a Korean place, I would often smell like 1) smoke, 2) pickled cabbage, 3) garlic or 4) all of the above. So when my mum insisted on having lunch at this Korean restaurant in Chadstone yesterday, I was a bit apprehensive. Adam and I had really wanted to try that dumplings place in Glen Waverley that Dave recommended. But mum was persistent, "No, this place is GREAT!" she assured us. In the end, tightarseness prevailed (she was paying) and so off we went down Warrigal Road to a place called Let's Bab.
It really is a weird name for a restaurant. Kinda like David Bowie eating a bowl of rice or bibimbab in Seoul ("bab" either refers to the Korean word for rice or "bibimbab", a Korean dish). The place was rather full when we arrived but luckily, a table for four me, mum, Kenneth and Adam was available for me, mum, Kenneth and Adam. Looking at the menu, I found that half the items were Japanese which meant that there were also takoyaki and udons amongst bulgogis. The prices were also quite reasonable, bento boxes were $8 and mains averaged $9. It took me some time to choose my meal but in the end, I decided to play it safe by going for the Japanese seafood ramen (though the menu claimed that it was "authentic Korean" – ??!).
We shared a plate of korokke (deep fried potato croquettes, $6). The menu advertised 4 pieces but we ended up with 3 whole pieces, cut up to make 6 individual pieces. A sukiyaki-tasting dipping sauce accompanied the croquettes which weren't anything special.
My seafood ramen ($8.50). Now, where shall I begin? Firstly, the noodles were nothing more than maggi noodles. Secondly, all the "seafood" that was in my soup was one large prawn, two or three smaller shrimps, one small pippi and one piece of seafood extender. The rest of the contents was made up of sliced cabbage and carrots. Finally, the soup. It was way too spicy for me which masked any attempts (or lack of) at flavour. Even Adam, who loves spicy things, found it way too spicy. I struggled to finish the whole thing because it was that horrible. Ugh. And I didn't eat the kim chi that was provided either.
My mum's "special" dish of creamy garlic prawns with kim chi fried rice ($15). This item was featured on the specials board and for some reason, mum didn't see the word "creamy" in it. So when this flouro-toxic waste pile appeared in front of her, she was rather shocked. I managed to have a nibble at the sauce which tasted a lot like a bad batch of carbonara. It was the weirdest thing I've ever had at an Asian restaurant. Ew. I didn't bother with the kim chi fried rice because I just knew that I wasn't going to like it. My mum also left this dish unfinished.
The other two wisely chose rice dishes which were set out the same as the bento boxes (rice+whatever meat you decide to have, fried tofu with okonomiyaki sauce and mayo, kim chi, salad) but a bit more expensive. Kenneth's bulgogi was $11 while Adam's unagi on rice was $9.50. I took photos of both their dishes but sadly, they turned out pretty bad so I've decided to omit those photos here. I didn't mange to have a taste of Kenneth's beef (but it illicited no complaints from the big man) whereas a bite of Adam's unagi immediately caused a gag reflex as it was way too sweet. Nevertheless, I did eat his tofu (pictured on the bottom right hand corner in the above photo) which, at least, filled me up until we got to Box Hill. And it didn't suck either.
What about YOU?
Where do you go for Korean food in Melbourne?

HAHA I had my birthday at… Daeum Gae Jung or something like that… Korean BBQ joint near the corner of Swanston and Lt Bourke. It has fobby girls dressed up in the traditional Moon dress.. I've always enjoyed their food there.. alternatively there's Oriental Spoon on La Trobe st… bitchy service.. large servings.. but I don't go there to be treated like a prince.. then again I think Koreans tend to be judged as brutes through western standardsReply
I don't really eat Korean food. Or like it. Usually it's a Bibimbap rice dish hahaha.Although I must admit I go to all them Mama places on Whitehorse Rd and the other place next to the Karaoke place near the Korean Haircut place and the Korean Grocery store on that street behind my Office building.Heh. My friends are so into Korean. I seriously don't know why. Movies I can understand. Food, hrmmmm…Reply
Oriental Spoon is not bad but I like Korean Garden (I think it is called) in Clayton – in my opinion the best Korean I've had (Centre Road off Clayton Road). The other one would be Korean Kimchi house on little latrobe street almost around the same position as Oriental spoon but a street away.Reply
i guess we are opposites Lib, i love korean food, from the first moment my korean teacher back in highschool started to tell us about the different types of korean food. or maybe it was cause of our school trip to korea that kinda instilled in me the love of the food. unfortunately, im pretty bad with names, so i wont be much help. the places i actually like going to, are not well known. once i remember the names ill give you a shout out. hehehe.Reply
Mmm…I second Oriental Spoon. =]Pretty cheap during lunch and some of their spicy dishes are extremely spicy.Reply
oriental spoon <3 those maggi noodles look so disappointing!Reply
Yep, Korean Garden/Kangnaroo in Clayton as Kelly said. Except I'm not sure if you're willing to make the trip down to Clayton like you did with Nam Giao… roughly same travel time!!!Reply
I have told you previously about oriental spoon, there is a korean place opposite shoya next to the german place that i used to goto, white tomato on bourke near funky curry, there is another good korean joint near QVM la porchetta on victoria parade and also i dont mind the faux korean stuff at teahouse on whitehorse road in box hill after tafe(last year when i had an income, i dont eat lunch anymore due to financial reasons)Reply
I was so enthusiastic to write about where i eat that i forgot to say that korean is almost my favourite food in the entire world. I thought i might as well ad it. Thank Yang Tzu-Han for introducing me to korean lol hahaha.Reply
i havent been to oriental spoonReply
but the place i was talking about is called yami yami…
i went there recently, the food is still nice, but they cut back their seafood serving size which is a disappointment
@gns_moments – @fipar20 – @chaoness – @I_Luv_Cocacola – Okay, I will endeavour to try Oriental Spoon very very soon. Thanks guys!@icesabre – @KeLlY_Siew – Is this Korean Garden place within walking distance from Clayton train station? If I'm feeling hungry after class, I might actually go there! Ahh, there's one GOOD thing about going to uni in Clayton!Reply
@SNSAZN – Yes it is!!!!Reply
@SNSAZN – just be prepared for the bitchy service! its part of the genuine cultural experience.. lolReply
@I_Luv_Cocacola – Yang Tzu Hang is a thug!Reply
omg… that does not look like korean food… :-SReply
I go to KANG NA ROO in Clayton; the bibimbap is awesome there; and so is their soups and BOSSAM yummoooOo!!! And I also go to SEVEN in Carnegie (but thats no way near as good as Kangnaroo IMO)
MMMm… I generally stick to KANG NA ROO; oh and this other korean restaurant in Clayton, near the cheesecake shop, but have no idea what its called- I think its the Korean Garden mentioned above, the hotpots there are awesome. But KANG NA ROO hands down.
I love korean food!
I went to Kangnaroo the other day with 3 others ppl, they kicked us out just because of the reason "you dont order enough dishes"
Simple, don't be tight when you go there. Order some dumplings and kimchi pancake to start and then one dish per person + rice each.
Don't try to fill up on the sides they provide for free.
The food is great and they want you to experience that.
I was going to reply to this entry, but missed it!I agree with Kelly. Try out Oriental spoon. It's great. My friend who's a picky eater, loves it. I love the food there too. Authentic as well!The most recent place I went to was: Hwaro BBQ. It's pretty expensive, and I ended up smelling like smoke, but I had a change of t-shirt. I think I blogged about it recently.I dunno, I'm a fan of Korean food, never had any bad experience, but hate the prices coz it's so expensive!Reply
Kangnaroo is the best Korean I have ever eaten. The lady who runs the show is top-notch (I think she is over in Korea at the moment so don't judge when she is not there). Really appreciative of return customers and a lovely person too.Reply
Order anything and you won't be dissapointed.
Always a pleasant surprise when you receive the bill for a big group. Cost per person is very reasonable.
For couples it can seem a little dear at times, but it depends what you order.
We had a dinner party in Kang Na Roo, Clayton. The old lady (we believe she is the owner) was rude with bad attitudes. We had already taken her advice to order some dishes double. However, we wanted one serve for one dish. Shewas not happy and forced us to double up our orders. We told her we just wanted one serve and ordered one more dish to make her happy. She agreed with us. She repeated the order quickly in Korean. We had no clue what she had said. Later, two serves of the dish arrived. We talked among ourselves and wondered why two serves had been arrived. By the way, we knew we would accept the dishes. The old lady reacted and scolded us. We had no idea why she behaved badly. When the BBQ arrived, we realised all the other customers got the services, but we had to cook a large plate of meats ourselves. Some of us did want the service. We did not ask for the service, therefore, we were not scolded. At the end, the bill arrived but the handwritten Korean words did not help us check the bill. We paid the bill with generous tips and left.Reply

U.S. Trademarks Searchable on Web
Gilmer, Susan, Editor & Publisher
Gilmer is a freelance writer and editor based in Indianapolis.
Patent and Trademark Office brings trademark searches into the information age to aid researchers
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has launched a free online search of registered U.S. trademarks dating back to the late 1800s.
The service is part of a larger initiative to make trademark and patent information more accessible, says Jane Myers. director of the Office for Patent and Trademark Information.
Trademark text went online in August. Images followed in November, along with text of patent information. Patent images are expected to be completed in March 1999, as the project proceeds on schedule. Myers says. When finished, the 21 million document pages will be the largest reservoir of patent and trademark data available -- all free on the Internet.
Before, trademarks could only be searched at government libraries or by paid services.
Nevertheless, the Trademark Database has limitations. The fact that a mark is not present in the database does not necessarily mean it is not being used as a trademark. Plans call for updating the data on a two-month cycle, but the database doesn't include applications filed during the last few months before the program went online.
Perhaps more important, because federal registration is not required to establish trademark rights, two major categories of rights that should be included in comprehensive searches are not in the database.
Common law rights to a trademark arise from actual use of a mark. Generally, the first to either use a mark in commerce or file an intent-to-use application with the Patent and Trademark Office has the ultimate right to use and registration. Common law searches involve checking Yellow Pages. industrial directories and similar resources.
Also excluded from the database are international trademarks, a complicated and increasingly important category.
Though researching international marks may not be necessary for some small local businesses, it is critical for companies interested in doing business globally.
There is no worldwide consensus on intellectual property laws, and national trademark offices employ widely different registration processes and offer different levels of protection, says Monika Carter Laws, a spokeswoman with the International Trademark Association, which monitors trademark activities in 145 countries.
Efforts to harmonize national trademark laws and promote international cooperation are under way, however.
For example, the Madrid Agreement, administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, permits an owner to register trademarks in a number of countries by filing one application, and is generally regarded as successful and relatively inexpensive.
Some features of the Madrid Agreement, however, have been unacceptable to countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. The Protocol to the Madrid Agreement, concluded in 1989, addresses these issues, but the United States was not among the 35 countries to ratify the protocol.
Because of the new trademark database's limitations and the complexity of intellectual property laws, Myers strongly recommends an intellectual property lawyer for trademark matters. …

Kieren McGeeney will leave the door open for Seanie Johnston even if his transfer saga does not reach a conclusion before the start of the championship.
Kieren McGeeney will leave the door open for Seanie Johnston even if his transfer saga does not reach a conclusion before the start of the championship.
Johnston is seeking a transfer to Kildare are losing his place in the Cavan panel, although Val Andrews departure has cleared the way for him to return for the Breffni County.
His attempts to join St Kevin's in Kildare have been thwarted by the Central Competitions Control Committee who have not been convinced by Johnston's claims that he resides in the county, but the new CCCC, who are due to come into operation next week, could clear the transfer.
While it could be May before the situation is resolved, McGeeney has made it clear he will have no problem including him in his squad despite his lack of games.
"You can't. One fella might have great form for his club during the summer," McGeeney explained in The Sun.
"The Seanie Johnston thing is frustrating because the same rules don't apply on one person.
"Whatever your beliefs or opinion given what has happened, the one thing I will say about Seanie is that he is honest.
"He has that kind of integrity. It is frustrating. I understand there are rules there and other things people feel that they are trying to protect.
"It is frustrating for the young fella, he only wants to play football."

Project Status: 14 January 2008 2030UTC
Long Wait Ahead
Weather Status: Wave approaching coast of NW US will brush the ARB with little chance of producing weather.Beyond this, the area looks to be ruled by dry conditions until 20-22 Jan timeframe when the arctic cold outbreak that was mentioned yesterday still shows a possibility of wringing out some moisture. Today the models are pretty stingy on bringing significant snow to the region. Along with this, the off shore ridge appears to adopt a strong positive tilt that directs any Pacific moisture rivers well up into AK and associated troughs move up the ridge and then down into central Canada keeping them well away from the ARB.
Summary: No IOP for the next 5 days.
Observation Summary: An RH sensor at Huysink appears to be bad and will probably be absent for the duration of the exercise. Bodega Bay's temperature and humidity sensor are out of action, but will be replaced with the next maintenance visit. Otherwise all sites appear to be up and running.
Decision Summary: No operations for the next 5 days.
Product Summary: Moisture products from Huysink and temperature and moisture products from Bodega Bay have been removed from the web page; for the latter, only temporarily. All HMT model products are operative. Workstations are likely to ship tomorrow to MRY and RNO.

.- Bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Monterrey in Mexico have expressed their concern and rejection of the legalization of abortion in Mexico City, which will be decided on April 24 and whose promoters are threatening to extend it to the entire country.
In a statement the bishops said they supported those who oppose the measure with "concrete actions" and they expressed their rejection of "the sophisms that seek to justify abortion, arguing that this is a matter of public health, the wellbeing of women and their right to choose regarding their own bodies, as well as arguing that it will diminish clandestine abortions."
In affirming the right to life of every human being, the bishops noted that "there is a solid scientific basis" that proves that at a conception a new and unique human life is created. "Abortion is never valid in any case, as a new human life is taken," they stated.
They went to affirm "the duty of the Church, civil authorities and all of society to confront the causes that lead to the decision to abort and to give medical, psychological, spiritual and material assistance to women in crisis pregnancies, women who are victims of abuse, desperation or poverty."
The bishops reiterated their own commitment to create and establish centers of assistance for "women who have been raped or have suffered discrimination."
"Let us bless our mothers who have given us life and let us be thankful they have shared this beautiful gift with us," the bishops said, "and we invite all women to not succumb to the decision to put an innocent child to death, no matter what adversities they have to face. We are in solidarity with you, women, who are courageously and firmly a sign of love for life in our society."

As part of your first-year experience in the Discovery Core (DC) sequence, you will create an ePortfolio that tells a story about your first-year journey at UW Bothell. Think of your portfolio as a "workspace" and a "record" of academic learning, relevant on- and off-campus experiences, and developing skills. Specifically, you will reflect on how the "artifacts" of your first-year work (essays, reports, projects, presentations, performances, art work, etc.) helped you achieve the First Year Learning Goals. Below are resources explaining essential steps in the DC Portfolio creation, sharing and submission processes.
[Return to Top of Page]
This will be the first page your audience sees when they open your portfolio. Use this space to welcome the viewer and introduce them to the contents. You might think of the homepage as a roadmap to your portfolio, highlighting important milestones along the route. Students can also arrange this as a table of contents, indicating what is in each chapter of your portfolio.
Please note: although your portfolios may primarily be viewed by the UW community (students, staff, and faculty), you are always writing for a "public" audience, so think about what viewers may value and find worthwhile in your portfolio.
Create an "About Me" section to briefly introduce yourself. Write a biography in 100-200 words that includes pertinent information for a college-level reader (e.g. where you are from, your interests, and your personal, academic and professional goals)
Your DCI instructor will ask you to familiarize yourself with our campus resources http://www.uwb.edu/premajor/first-year-discovery and then post a short reflective statement in your ePortfolio. The nature of this assignment is up to each DC instructor, but some ideas may include one or more of the following:
Carefully review information about the Student Success Resources at UWB (new page? See link above). Then write a short statement (about 500 words) on why you came to college and what you hope to do while here. In order to strengthen this statement and provide concrete steps that you will take by the end of the first year, please identify some of the Student Success Resources you just reviewed that might help you advance your academic, personal and professional goals. Also be sure your statement indicates that you have learned something detailed and concrete about these resources. For example, if you struggle with math or need help writing a paper, you might seek help from the Quantitative Skills Center or Writing and Communication Center. Or perhaps you want to study abroad at some point (get connected to our Global Initiatives office now!) or get involved with community service (check out the Community Based Learning & Research section!) Whatever you choose to focus on, your statement should reflect the fact that you have carefully read through the web pages in the Student Success Resources section, learned something specific and concrete about the different services, and put some thought into which ones will help you advance your personal and academic goals while in college. Final note: keep in mind that the point of this activity is to help you identify some of the accomplishments and activities you'd like to display in your ePortfolio by the end of this year, and help plan your strategy accordingly. You should be consistent in following up on this plan and regularly posting artifacts and updates on your accomplishments in during the year.
Take one or more assignment to the Writing & Communication Center, Quantitative Skills Center or to a Campus Librarian; at the quarter's end, post a reflection on what you learned from your interactions with the WACC, QSC or Campus Library. Students should also attach artifacts and feedback from those collaborations.
At the end of the quarter, write a short reflective statement on how your learning and experience in the DCI helped you develop certain skills and capacities identified in the First Year Learning Goals, or in the Course Objectives for your particular DC section. This statement should reference specific artifacts, learning experiences, assignments and/or campus collaborations. Please attach (or provide links to) all relevant artifacts with your post.
[Return to Top of Page]
Your DCII instructor will also ask students to complete and post a reflective assignment in your ePortfolio that is related to participation in the Pathways to Academic Engagement Fair. The nature of this assignment is up to each DC instructor, but some ideas may include one or more of the following:
Idea 1
Before attending the Pathways to Engagement fair, familiarize yourself with the campus partners you will encounter there. After participating in this event, write a short reflection (300-500 words) or complete an activity discussing interests and plans for your engagement with particular opportunities (Service Learning, Study Abroad, Internships, Undergraduate Research, campus organizations and clubs, etc.) Please note that you will be re-visiting these statements in the DCIII to reflect on your ongoing progress with that particular engagement.
Since the DCII also focuses on research (use of evidence, analysis of artifacts, etc.), prior to attending the Pathways to Engagement event students might identify which major and/or campus activity they are MOST interested in and want to be involved with, and which they are LEAST interested in engaging. During the event itself, students can collect at least one piece of "evidence" to support both positions (a fact they learned, a conversation they had, a flyer they picked up, etc.) Following the event students can reflect on ways this new evidence either supports or challenges their original positions.
Review the Career Action Guide and enter notes to identify any steps from this guide that you have already taken, and any opportunities encountered at the Pathways to Engagement fair that might further advance those goals. If you have not yet taken any steps specified on this guide, sketch out a plan to complete as many as possible during winter and spring quarter.
DCIII students focus on Reflection and interpretation of artifacts demonstrating their first-year learning experiences and campus engagement, while also projecting toward the second year of college and beyond. During spring quarter students will workshop, revise, and finalize portfolios and prepare for a public Portfolio Showcase presentation.
This section of your ePortfolio focuses on what you've accomplished in your first year at UW Bothell. On this page, you will reflect on curricular and extracurricular experiences you've had in your first year by writing a 1000-1500 word, evidence-based narrative that responds to one or more of the prompts below. You should provide specific and persuasive evidence to support the narrative about yourself and your first year experiences. The evidence you use to support your narrative should be drawn from the "artifacts" or "texts" from your courses (papers, peer reviews, presentations, lab reports, graphs or spreadsheets, artwork, webpages, etc.) Your essay will clearly describe, analyze, and connect your artifacts to your narrative, so be sure to attach or link to those artifacts within your essay. Also remember to be specific and both "show" your evidence and "tell" about your evidence to present a more convincing narrative.
When you discuss your artifacts, please briefly identify and describe your First Year courses, assignments, and activities (you can use artifacts from any class you have taken during your first year).
The guidelines for this reflective essay are up to individual DCIII instructors, but prompts may include one or more of the following:

Traveller reviews
"We went in september and arrived in the early hours of the morning, the staff were very helpfull and showed us to our room. It wasnt at all what we expected, it was HUGE. There was me my fiance and our 2 year old son, we had plenty of room and the views were amazing.
The pools were very clean and all the surrounding areas, the bar was always well stocked and always manned by really friendly staff. The food can be a bit hit and miss but i suppose it all depends on what you like??
Kos town is lovey with plenty of bars and shops but if you want something to eat a little closer go to the bottom of the hill and turn right, there is a taverna and the owner is a riot!!! hemade us feel like we were part of the family and the food is second to none.
Cant wait to go back, trying to book again for Aristo but cant seem to find any website or travel company to book with??????"

"lovely views of pool and sea. spacious rooms. clean towels every day to come back to and floors cleaned. a few theme nights including B B Q and greek dancing although me and my daughters ventured out most nights. Down at the bottom of the hill from reception is a beautiful restaurant called Nikos Kontessa. Try the greek dishes and if have the lamb and pasta oven baked casserole tell them its Caroles favourite. There is a mini market a few hundred metres down the hill but to your left where things are cheapest than in the Kos town. A bus to Kos town is the no 1 or no 5 and 1.80 euro each there. buy a ticket at the station where get off for 1.50 euro ready for coming back and jump on the bus anywhere in the town no 1 or no 5 and ask for aristos stop 14. We eat at different tavernas each night. cheaper than restaurants. We took a trip to bodrum but booked in Kos ourselves for 15 euro each rather than 47 with the rep ! Beautiful holiday and going back next year. Only downfall no phone in hotel. phonebooth near mini market but have get phone cards from Kos."

"Had a fantastic two weeks at the Aristo,arrived to find we had a lovely spacious 1 bed apart,no air con but the staff supplied us with a large fan.Balcony overlooked pool area and had great views of Turkey.staff very friendly nothing too much trouble,could be a bit noisy some nights but my lot sleep through anything.A taxi into Kos Town only costs about 8 euros but there is a bus service you can pick up at the bottom of the road.The best restaurant we found was at the bottom of the hill Nikos and Kontessa the food was lovely especially their kleftico,we ate there most nights,the owner and his staff made you so welcome with their greek dancing and jokes you didn't want to go anywhere else.Overall excellent holiday fantastic weather,have booked to go back this year."

"Arrived with an open mind after reading previous reviews. The room was a hovel and not particularly clean. Must be pot luck if you get a decent room. You expect basic in Greece but this was dire. The shower was hanging off the wall and the base was heavily stained - thought at first someone had had an upset tum and not made it to the loo in time! We didn't always get clean towels, when we mentioned this to staff some said you should get them every day,some said every other. The beds sank in the middle so I boosted mine with the dubious looking blankets from the wardrobe. Couldn't complain to rep as she only came at 10:00am when we were out and about,but other holidaymakers said they had complained but she wasn't interested,not sure what they get paid for as never seem to be particularly helpful.On a good note the pool was nice and we were lucky enough to have a balcony with a sea/Turkey view,majority overlook the pool. So glad there was a regular bus into Kos town (which is lovely) Overall these apts are in desperate need of an overhaul and general maintenance.If you are unlucky enough to stay there my advice is spend as little time as possible in there. Luckily we had a fantastic holiday which was only marred by the quality of the accommodation."

"we stayed at this hotel 21st july be careful with the given room choice as they will try and pawn the studios of on you but in all fairness they sorted it out and moved us, make sure you ask for a fan for your room as there is no air con and this made it very unbarable esp in the high temp months but beware to sleep with the balcony doors open as we were all eat alive in the morning my mosquito.also our and a few others experienced bad ear infections which usually only means one thing ( the swimming pool) in which we only noticed this to be cleaned once a week, we have all been on antibiotics since returning from our holiday but you can also get them from the local chemist in kos town.
the hotel staff were really helpfull drinks quite expensive but quite good value on the pool bar food esp the special pizza. also the bus rides are def an experience especially at busy times they make sure they pick every one up,but def go back to kos but def not back to this hotel."

"Hi everyone. i have just come back from a 2 week stay at the aristo aparthotel we had a great time . the apartments are well kept, most rooms have a sea view, very clean, the studios are a bit small but if you have been self catering in a studio on the greek islands you should be used to that they do have family rooms infact although there was only the 2 of us they put us in a family room which was very spacious large kitchen, double sized balcony which has 2 sliding doors. After reading some of the reviews on this hotel i was a bit aprehensive. Well surprised when we arrived. the staff are very friendly from the cleaners to the pool bar staff which is open 24 hrs per day but hardly any noise . we are in our 50s and 60s and we found it very relaxing. there is a terrific bus service into kos town every 10 mins up till 12,oclock midnight. don't book any boat trips with the rep (we went with olympic) we paid 20euro for a whole days sea trip round 3 greek islands + lunch in kalymnos , the rep was asking at least 35 euro. the roads are very safe in fact we was even at our age considering getting bikes out because they have cycle tracks running along the side of most roads around kos town. if you want to go to the beach try tingaki beach lovley, you get a bus outside the apartments to kos town then walk a couple of min to the bus station in the town and get a bus to tingaki lovley white sand and sunbeds to die for . Lots of lovley resturants in kos as well as a couple just outside the hotel and the food is brilliant.
me and my husband have been to many of the greek islands in the last 20 years and this holiday rates very high on our favorites list. for the price you pay it is well worth the money. we will be going back again for certain.
hope this review is helpfull to you if you are thinking of going there next year.
have a great trip chrissie"

"We left Gatwick on time on a Monarch Airbus A300. The flight was on time and I must say they are the most uncomfortable planes I have ever travelled thankfully the flight was only 4 hours.
We arrived at the hotel around 5am and there was total darkness... no one showed us to the room and it taken over 20 minutes to find the room. We slept a few hours to the welcome meeting and I must say I was disappointed with the Rep (ABI) She was only interested in selling, not caring much about us or if we enjoyed... she never came near us all the holiday to see if we were ok.
Dont buy excursions from any of the Rep´s they are half the price in town. We went to Turkey for 15 euro independantly and the rep was charging 43 euro for the same per person.
On the 3rd day, we reported our mobile phone stolen from the room.. We always locked the room and we didnt take the phone from the room, so it was the cleaner who stolen the phone.. no action was taken and no news was given to us. they didnt care.. they only wanted money too for food and drinks and didnt show the usual friendliness you expect from the Greek people.
The hotel can be reached by bus costing 1.40 euro, every 15 mins up to 12.30 in the morning. The beach is a 30 mins walk and the beach has no sand only rocks... very disappointing.
The best part of the holiday was arriving in London.. after been stuck in a small monarch seat for 3 hours 45 mins."

"The Olympic Holiday rep was a young man who certainly liked to talk to the young women.
We may have well have had a tape recording for all the real use and advice he gave. He was apparently going to be around every day - never saw him after the first day.
There is no a/c so you must ask for the loan of a fan.
The pool is a lot smaller than the photo suggets.
The little electric cooker would not cook a real meal and the fridge heated up the room to oven levels.
The hotel is family run and can get very noisy at night.
The sloping drive from the main road to the hotel is a killer in the heat.
The bar and hotel staff were ok.
The electrics appeared a little dodgey.
The nearby beech is rocky pebbles.
Recommend bike hire as you can get everywhere along the northern coast by bike on bike routes.
Recommend Safari car hire."

"We stayed here the last week in july 2008. We arrived at night so didn't see alot till we woke up int the late morning, but when we woke the views were spectacular the views towards Turkey were beautiful. The rooms were clean but basic is putting it mildly, no micro wave, no toaster, no kettle, no safe, what we got was a pan and a 2 ring electric camping cooker.
The food and drinks that were available at the bar were very expensive and very poor quality the menu consisted of burgers and chips and toasties and the soft drinks came from large 2 litre bottles so were usually flat when purchased, my 14 year old daughter was upset after recieving a rude ticking off from a member of the hotel staff for having a plastic bottle of coke which we had bought from the local shop with her at the pool "as it is the hotel policy that you do not consume drinks by the pool that you have not bought from the bar" shes 14 for god sake and it's a self catering holiday.
However just down the drive to the main road on the right is a taverna call Nicoss Contessa and this place was absolutely brilliant the staff were so welcoming and polite and the food was the best we had eaten all the time we were in kos, better than the places we ate in kos town.
Just down the road towards kos town is a bar called Apollo, this was also nice with good quality beers and cocktails reasonabliy priced. Give zorbas taverna a miss it's cheap but terrible, terrible to the point you will leave your food."

"Well i was a little concerned after reading the reviews on here, so i wanted to make up my own mind and not be influanced too much.
Jo, our rep had this annoying habit of always, always saying "Ok guys" whether she was talking to 1 or 100 of you. She didn't seem to know that much asout Kos at all and her main worry was hoping you put all positives on your questionaire so not to get sent back to britain next year to rep.
The apartment was a good size (5 sharing) and the cleaner was very prompt and good at her job of keeping the place clean and tidy. That i can not fault.
Ellie seemed nice enough but she could be rude if you upset her. Luckily we did not.
The days went from one extreme to the other. You either had the music blaring all day or it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They had a limited volume of music choice and if i never hear Dancing Queen (Abba) again it will be too soon.
The food was very over priced 3.50 euro for just chips. 1 night we tried the cheese omlette. It was omlette with 1 square plastic cheese put on top. Not good.
The buses from the the bottom of the hill into Kos town or to Thermes were a god send. 1.30 euro for adults and 75 cents for the kids if got on the bus. However if you get them from the bus stop in Kos town it was only 90 and 60cents.
After reading the reviews i was excited about going to Nicos and Kontessa and it was ok. The food was nice and the people friendly but it did not blow us away.
We would take a stroll towards the town and found a nice taverna called Zorbas and although the menu was not huge the prices were far more reasonable than those of the hotel bar. 38 eu for 5 main courses and 2 rounds of drinks each.
THe beach at Psalidi is not all that. Stoney an dwhat looks to be like shredded paper on the beach is sea weed which is extremely dence not far from the shore. I would say your best bet is to visit Paradise beach as it truely is paradise.
If you wish to do day trips i really would advice not to go through Olympic as it is a rip off.
42eu for adults to go to Turkey and we got it for 20 at Tigaki tours which is a 10 min walk from hotel and i know someone who got it for 15 at Kos harbour.
It definatly is worth the trip as it is lovely there, especially if you want to get a bargain.
All in all our stay was good and a holiday is what you make it. All the kids had a great time making new friends too.
It was the 2nd time to Kos so we feel we have done it all now.
Can't wait to decide were to go next year"

"We booked our holiday through First Choice Holidays, and had never been to Aristo before, so took a chance. When we arrived, it was better than we expected, based on the fact that it was a pretty cheap holiday (you get what you pay for expectation!) The rooms were very clean, lovely crisp white fresh bed linen awaited us, which was much needed after a 4 hour delay, and travelling through the night with 2 kids! The balcony was massive, and had a lovely view of the whole resort, especially the pool area. We ordered up some bar food at lunchtime, and the menu was decent, with realistic prices.
The pool area was very quiet, unusual for mid august, but we were thankful for that, so you can keep an eye on the kids without having to look through the masses. Ellen, who is the lovely lady who keeps the bar area during the daylight hours, is helpful, friendly, always polite, and when my husband came down with a painful ear due to scuba diving, she gave me the most helpful advice and always asked how he was.
In my mind, this place is well worthy of a few more stars. There was plenty for my two boys (age 9 and 10) to do, which included table tennis, snooker, play area, tennis courts, and they put a film on for the kids at 9 every evening. We visited a nearby hotel for some other activities, and it was packed, quite honestly, my worst nightmare.
As far as cleanliness goes, the cleaner was always busying herself, we had clean linen and towels every day except sunday, and the loo rolls were always replenished. There was a friendly gardener, who kept the resort immaculate. The restuarant at the bottom of the hill (Nikos & Kontessa) is well worth a visit. Kos is a lovely unspoilt island, and this is reflected in the way Aristo Apartments is run. I would definately return for a 2 week holiday. Many thanks to Ellen who made us feel very welcome, she runs that place like a well oiled machine. She has rules, but they are there for the benefit of the guests, so as long as you don't break them, she will always be there to make your stay postively perfect!"

It feels like it was only yesterday that we started hearing about The Decemberists. It amazes me to think that the band has released six official studio albums earning a spot amongst indie rocks biggest success stories. Cougar writer Emily added them to her list describing 'The King Is Dead' as "A folky album with well-crafted song after well-crafted song; it is the quiet and beautiful dark horse in my collection this year".
Jazmin mused that " Something that makes The Decemberists one of my favourite bands is their ability to make each of their albums so very different but yet distinctively Decemberists-esque. The folk undertones of 'The King is Dead' are absolutely no exception.
Perhaps their best album since 'Your Majesty', 'The King is Dead' is the perfect mix of beautifully crafted acoustic melodies such as 'June Hymn' and singalong anthems such as 'This Is Why We Fight'. If the best bands are those that keep evolving, The Decemberists' 2011 outing is a case study in why they're already a step ahead of the rest".

The British Medical Association
We're testing our new website – tell us what you think.
23 October 2012
The BMA has said health boards could improve their HR and recruitment procedures after it was shown that more than 200 doctor posts remained vacant.
The June figure of 209 vacancies is just five fewer than the 214 revealed in January.
The figures were shared in a letter from Welsh health and social services minister Lesley Griffiths to Welsh Liberal Democrats leader Kirsty Williams.
Questioning first minister Carwyn Jones in the Welsh Assembly last week, Ms Williams said it would take the Welsh government 20 years to fill the empty roles at the current rate.
Mr Jones stated the figures represented a net gain, as doctors would still be leaving their posts and moving elsewhere, and that a campaign launched in February this year to recruit more doctors to Wales needed time to work.
BMA Welsh council chair Phil Banfield said: 'The BMA has highlighted that the problem is not helped by stringent vacancy controls and delays in appointment procedures that are reported to still occur in many health boards in Wales.
'The junior doctor vacancies are of great concern to the BMA, and we are working with health boards, the deanery and the Welsh government to make Wales a more attractive place in which to live and work.
'Wales has some terrific training, which is not always appreciated outside of our borders. Wales is a great place to live – even if it is a little wet at the moment.
'The feeling is that health boards could improve their HR and recruitment procedures to make them more responsive and sensitive to this crisis.'

A majority of Palm Beach County school board members likes the idea of bringing the $2.7 billion school district under the eye of a proposed county ethics watchdog — but not if county commissioners have the final say on filling the position.
After watching five local elected officials go to prison on federal corruption charges since 2006, county commissioners this summer endorsed the concept of an independent inspector general's office with subpoena power to monitor public officials and government contracts.
But who would hire and fire and approve the budget of the inspector general remains an open question.
A coalition of business and civic groups has proposed that the inspector be chosen by an independent ethics panel whose members would be appointed by a variety of public agencies.
County administrators have proposed that the inspector general be chosen by an independent selection committee with county commissioners voting on whether to approve the selection. The inspector general could be removed for cause if five of seven commissioners agree under the administration proposal.
County commissioners want to add the inspector general to the county charter if voters approve in November 2010. The school board isn't covered by the county charter, but commissioners hope school board members agree to be monitored by the inspector general.
At least four school board members — Frank Barbieri, Paulette Burdick, Bill Graham and Sandra Richmond — said in interviews this week that they support the inspector general idea. But all four oppose giving county commissioners the ultimate say on hiring and firing the inspector.
"I don't want one organization driving the whole thing," Graham said.
"I would not want, as a school board member, to have a final vote on who's going to oversee the school board. I can't imagine the county commissioners wanting that," said Richmond.
The Palm Beach County administration's proposal is modeled after the 12-year-old inspector general's office in Miami-Dade County. Miami-Dade Inspector General Chris Mazzella was selected by an outside committee and approved by county commissioners. The commission approves his office's budget and can remove him if 9 of 13 commissioners agree.
While Mazzella's office was originally created to monitor county government, the Miami-Dade school board later asked to be included as well. School board members don't have a say in hiring or firing the inspector general in Miami-Dade, but they can vote to terminate their relationship with the office.
Palm Beach County Commission Chairman Jeff Koons and Commissioners Burt Aaronson and Karen Marcus are generally supportive of the Miami-Dade model proposed by county administrators. Commissioners Shelley Vana, Priscilla Taylor and Jess Santamaria have voiced reservations about giving the commission the ultimate vote to hire the inspector general.
Commissioner Steven Abrams said he's waiting to see if the county and the business-civic coalition can reach an agreement.
Commissioners are expected to vote before the end of the year on an ordinance creating an inspector general for the county government. They envision using the November 2010 referendum to create a broader inspector general law covering the school district, municipal governments and other public entities.
The school board, county commission and the Palm Beach County League of Cities are slated to discuss the inspector general and other topics when they hold a joint meeting Oct. 28.

Judge Alex Kozinski: Books and Tapes for Summer
At 35, Alex Kozinski became the youngest judge on the 9th Circuit bench when President Reagan appointed him to that court. Last September, Kozinski was on a panel of judges that decided to proceed with California's recall election.
In the third installment of our summer reading series he talks about the books he's reading — and the audio books he takes on a two-hour roundtrip commute. Here's a list of what's on his shelves and in his stereo system:
Skeletons on the Zahara by Dean King
The true story of shipwrecked merchant ship crew struggling to survive in the Sahara reminds him of Daniel Defoe's classic Robinson Crusoe. He's on the third of nine tapes.
An Old Man's Love by Anthony Trollope
The story of William Whittlestaff, the guardian of an old friend's penniless daughter, and Whittlestaff's unrequited love for the young woman. Trollope completed the novel seven months before he died. Kozinski enjoys print and audio editions of books by Trollope, an overlooked contemporary of Charles Dickens. He also recently finished Trollope's autobiography.
Fiction Anthologies: Playboy Stories and The Bedside Playboy
The collections feature works by such acclaimed writers as John Irving and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Kozinski read many of these stories in his teens and 20s when they were first published in Playboy. One of his favorites is a thriller called Duel by Richard Matheson, which Steven Spielberg adapted for film.
