Old enough to fight and vote but not to smoke
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is proposing to raise the minimum age for buying cigarettes in the city to 21. Perhaps it is her way of saying "I am Bloomberg!" in her campaign to replace him as mayor. Currently you must be 19 to purchase a tobacco product in the Big Apple.
Quinn's hope is that by delaying legal access to tobacco, fewer young people will pick up the addictive habit. But if that approach is effective, why not enlarge our hopes and raise the legal access point to 31? Or even 61? If we can delay the first puff until the retirement years, then people will have no time to die of its effects. This seems ridiculous because it is. But how is it ridiculous? What in principle is the difference between 21 and 61?
Cigarette smoking in particular is a foul habit and a form of slow suicide. Its second hand effects assault the health of bystanders. But the rational basis underlying any minimum age for smoking or for tobacco purchases is the distinction between child and adult, between people who are considered not yet fully responsible for their actions and easily exploited and corrupted and those deemed fully capable of governing their own affairs. But when exactly do we expect adult responsibility of someone?
In some cultures, 13 is the threshold of adulthood. In the Jewish tradition, the bar mitzvah marks the point at which a young man at 13 is accepted as an adult with attendant rights and responsibilities. In America, adulthood is ambiguous. Since 1971, both the voting age and the draft age for military service have been 18. "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." In most states, one cannot enter a binding contract, marry, or make a valid will until age 18. One "lacks capacity to contract." (Some states allow marriage as young as 16 with parental consent.) The so-called "age of consent" differs state to state from 16 to 18. The smoking age, varying by state, is generally 18, in some states 19.
But the national drinking age is 21. It was established by federal statute in 1984 and imposed on the states by the threat of withholding highway funds. The goal was to decrease drunk driving accidents. We treat people in their college years, usually up to age 22, as though they were still children, and they often act accordingly. We call them "college kids" and the college functions in loco parentis. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) considers people children up to age 26, at which point they can no longer ride along on their parents' health insurance.
So on what legitimate grounds does the city draw this line? Under the city's police powers to regulate health, safety, and morals, it can ban smoking altogether. But to ban tobacco purchases for people under 21 suggests that a 20 year old is an innocent child in need of society's special protection. This could be a soldier, an upper classman philosophy major, or a married person, even a parent.
At a time when adolescence, or so-called "pre-adulthood," is viewed as extending even into one's 30s, it's time to start expecting more or our emerging adults, not less, and become more consistent in the legal signals we send them.

Whither Trade Policies in Southeast Asia? the Wider Asian and Global Context
Sally, Razeen, Sen, Rahul, Journal of Southeast Asian Economies
I. Introduction
This paper analyses trade policies in Southeast Asian countries in their wider Asian and global contexts. In essence, it not only compares and contrasts trade policies in individual Southeast Asian countries, but also analyses these policies in the context of regional and global economic integration, as well as the economic emergence of two other major Asian economies, China and India. The paper first looks at recent trends in trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) patterns in ASEAN. Then it summarizes key trade policy features in ASEAN countries, especially to get a sense of policy variety in the region and to see how policies have changed since the 1997-98 Asian economic crisis. Then follows an examination of ASEAN countries in international trade negotiations and agreements: first within ASEAN; second on cross-regional free trade agreements (FTAs); and third in the WTO, especially in the Doha Round.
The discussion is organized as follows. Section II analyses the economic performance of ASEAN-6 (1) countries in Asia and the global economy, focusing on trade and FDI flows. This is compared with basic economic performance indicators for China and India. This sets up some economic implications of China's and India's rise for ASEAN. Section III provides an overview of trade policies among the individual ASEAN-6 economies, highlighting key similarities and differences. Section IV provides an assessment of ASEAN economic integration in terms of trade and investment policies geared to regional liberalization, while section V assesses the state of bilateral trade liberalization initiatives involving ASEAN as a whole. Section VI provides an assessment of the ASEAN-6 countries in the WTO. The final section (section VII) highlights policy implications for the ASEAN-6 in pursuing trade policies on multiple tracks.
II. ASEAN-6 in the Global Economy: Trade and FDI Inflows
Although the ASEAN-6 economies were growing at an average rate of 7.3 per cent during 1996, the triggering of the economic crisis in mid-1997 with the devaluation of the Thai baht seriously affected their growth prospects, with all the ASEAN-6 economies except Vietnam registering a negative growth rate for the year 1998 (Figure 1). Although most of the ASEAN-6 economies have now recovered from the crisis, the average growth rate of in 2003 was 4.2 per cent, far lower than the pre-crisis levels.
In sharp contrast, the 1996-2003 period saw the economic emergence of China and the recent economic boom in India, wherein two of Asia's largest economies registered a growth rate of 9.1 per cent and 8.1 per cent respectively in 2003. In particular, the average growth rate of the Chinese and the Indian economy over 1999-2003 was 7.9 per cent and 5.8 per cent compared with 4.2 per cent for the ASEAN-6 economies. Table 1 provides some selected macroeconomic indicators of the ASEAN-6 economies and also of China and India in 2003, given that economic developments in the latter are likely to have an indirect impact on the former. The following observations can be made:
(i) The ASEAN-6 economies constituted about 7 per cent of the world's population; and about 4 per cent of world income measured in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms. However, on per capita basis, the income of these economies was close to a quarter of the world's average in current value terms in 2003. In contrast, China accounted for more than a fifth of the world's population and about 12.5 per cent of the world's PPP GDP, but on a per capita basis, its income level compared with the world average in current value terms was lower than that of the ASEAN-6 economies. The Indian economy constituted nearly 18 per cent of the world's population, but its PPP GDP was less than half of that of China in current value terms.
(ii) However, there are significant differences with respect to levels of economic development, domestic market size, and openness to the international markets among these ASEAN-6 economies, compared with China and India. …

Dear jjzhuang,
I read this thread with great attention, because this topic really interests me for quite a while now. I think it's a great idea to minimize the desktop zimbra to the tray in order to receive the nice notification balloons whenever a new mail arrives. This even works far more fine, than outlook.
But one thing bugs me. With windows you may switch through the open applications with this nice "task-switch" short-cut: ALT + Tab. However the moment Zimbra is in the tray, it doesn't appear in my taskswitch window anymore. Is this a problem I have, or is it a general thing?
I think this worked better with Outlook. Is there any way one can bring back the zimbra desktop into the taskswitch?
Thanks for replying, Silke.

Happy Monday!
Yesterday we hosted Oliver's 2nd Birthday party at the park
I chose Motorcycle theme because this boy LOVES them
and when he sees one he starts making revving noises, so it was only natural to go that route.
My husband has a Suzuki GSX-R and my brother has a Harley,
so I started there with the design. I searched through Pinterest and couldn't find any cute printables,
or really any thing relating to the party...everything was Harley centered
which was no fun for the Husband =(
So I started from scratch, used blue, red, and black and the color scheme and went from there.
All the props were borrowed from the Husband
(he even took the time to shine and polish up his equipment!)
The custom cake was done by Olivia of Olivia's Cakes
and the custom cookies by Angie of ARQ-Sweet Creations
We stayed up late unsuccessfully trying to dip some rice krispy treats and cake pops,
but the warm house and a failed candy melt recipe Did Not help us
Soooo plan B- mini cupcakes and sprinkle-covered rice krispy treats!
The signs and jar tags were done using a tattoo inspired font from dafont.com
We had a dress up station that included "tattoo sleeves", bandanas, and mustaches
even the adults got in on that fun
and of course the other stars at the events (besides the Birthday boy ;))

Smash Renewed By NBC For Season 2
By Kelly West 4 years ago comments
When NBC introduced Smash to us, it was fair to wonder if the musical drama would follow in the footsteps of Glee in achieving solid ratings and popularity, or if it would go the way of Viva Laughlin. While Smash isnt hitting Glees best numbers, its holding its own, especially considering Monday night at 10:00 hasnt always been an easy time slot for the network (RIP The Playboy Club). While its not all that surprising that the network is set to renew the series, its certainly good news to those of us whove been enjoying the drama unfold as the Marilyn Monroe musical comes together.
Deadline shared the news today that NBC has renewed Smash for a second season. As the site notes, Smash got off to a good part, thanks in part to the hype, and to the Super Bowl lead-in for its premiere. The series, which now airs after The Voice on Monday nights, is NBCs highest-rated drama among adults 18-49, with 7.7 million viewers.
Smash stars Anjelica Huston, Debra Messing, Megan Hilty, Jack Davenport, and Katharine McPhee, and follows the development of a Broadway musical. While part of the draw is the budding rivalry of Hilty and McPhees characters, as one is playing Marilyn and the other was up for the role, but assigned to the chorus, there are developments among the other characters that really push Smash toward being an ensemble show, and one thats brimming with talent. And the music is exceptional. Hopefully the story will hold up as the series moves forward. In the meantime, the show will go on, into a second season.
Smash isn't the only new NBC series set to move forward. Grimm also received an pickup by the network.

11/4/2013 -- Thomson Reuters -- "UK hospitals must treat FGM as child abuse - report" Advocacy Director, FGM Program Efua Dorkenoo discusses new report released by the Intercollegiate Group (Equality Now, Royal Colleges of Midwives, Nursing and Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and UNITE) and its partners on tackling FGM in the UK.
Efua Dorkenoo, FGM campaigner at rights group Equality Now, who helped draft the report, said it was "intolerable" that young girls were seeking treatment for FGM-related complications and no one was reporting these cases to police.
"That's what they would normally do with any child abuse," Dorkenoo said. "But they don't do it with FGM because they continue to think it is just a cultural issue."
She said it was too easy for clinicians to turn a blind eye, but they must now be held accountable. [read more...]

GAB Data Center Upgraded Successfully
By Cathy Gonzalez, EIS Training, Communication, and Administration Manager, CITC
An electrical shutdown of the General Academic Building (GAB) on the UNT Denton campus occurred the weekend of February 24-25, 2007. The primary reason for the electrical shutdown was the installation of a generator that will provide power to the computing data center in the GAB in the case of extended loss of city power. The GAB data center houses the largest number of computing resources that are critical to institutional administrative and academic functions.
The entire project was a huge effort by the UNT Computing and Information Technology Center (CITC) and UNT Facilities along with many other institutional groups working together to accomplish this one goal. The project took over a year of planning. Consulting groups had to bid on the project and submit detailed plans. More then 20 staff from Facilities and 60 CITC staff assisted in the planning and/or participated in the weekend project. The project was lead by Steve Vocelka, Computer Operations Manager, CITC. Tremendous support and assistance by UNT Facilities staff lead by Glen Haubold, Associate Director of Facilities Maintenance, was critical in the projects success.
Cooperative efforts between computing teams ensured an orderly shutdown and restart of critical systems housed in the GAB data center. These systems included EIS, WebCT services, and Research systems. Users of these systems were given timely notice of unavailability and contingency planning for needed services accommodated when possible, particularly for Academic departments dependent on the GAB for computing services.
The following is a recap of what was completed over the weekend of February 24-25:
The successful shutdown and powering up of the computing facilities also afforded CITC to simulate a disaster recovery process. This project has helped CITC analyze certain issues that occur during a disaster in regards to staffing, equipment locations, and how UNT accesses various components of its computing infrastructure. The findings of the analysis are being used to update CITC's Disaster Recovery procedures regarding the dependencies that were learned from this exercise.
Work still continues on completion of this critical project. Although the generator is installed (sitting on the pad), the GAB still does not have emergency generator power. A whole myriad of tests must be completed to ensure all components are working correctly. Kohler (the manufacturer) will "commission" the generator and turn it over to UNT Facilities after those tests are completed. Load testing of the generator will be conducted during this phase. The testing should be completed and emergency power available by mid March 2007.
Pictures documenting the weekend efforts - like the one below - are available at the Facilities website.

Hey Seoul Sisters
My two sisters are off to Seoul today. They visited Seoul last year to attend an International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses. Now they're back for a more relaxed vacation, five days and 5 nights. Both of them are fans of Korean music videos, accessories, soap operas and many others. My youngest sister is learning the Korean language too. I know they're gonna have a great time. Maybe Morning and I could visit Seoul next year, if budget permits.

The Tacoma News-Tribune's John McGrath talked to scouts about some of the possible 1-1s in next week's draft, and the scout who talked about Byron Buxton needs to get the drool off his chin:
A National League scout told Baseball America that Buxton is "probably the best player I've scouted." The scout wasn't referring to this year. He was referring to the best player he's scouted, period. "It's the best tool package I've seen in 10 years, and he has the potential to hit," the scout continued. "This kind of athlete doesn't play our sport. He's unique to our game. The ones we get don't have a feel for the game. This guy does."
And WSAV (Savannah) has this interview with Buxton:

There's a chasm in the NBA between the conventional and the unconventional. Beyond the analytics revolution, the pleas for efficiency and the constant fight against using championships as an implication of greatness lies an even deeper, more salient clash: a discourse on the fundamental ways that basketball should be played that, until recently, were never truly questioned.
On one end of this spectrum is a team like the Houston Rockets, one that disregarded the antiquated mid-range jumper altogether, shot more three-pointers than any team in the league and ran the floor at every opportunity. And if there's a gap between the two movements, former Denver Nuggets' head coach George Karl may have become the first victim of the abyss.
Karl's Nuggets, not all that different from the Rockets aside from their deficiency from beyond the arc, were a prototype for traditionalist hatred. They played small too often, their preferred form of garnering offense was capitalizing on live-ball turnovers and, perhaps the most tantalizing of the three, they didn't have a go-to guy in crunchtime.
Naturally, Denver finished the season with the third seed in the West, accumulating a 15-game winning streak and the best home record in the league on the way. How'd they do it? Well, the exciting, savvy and versatile lineups that Karl formulated equipped the Nuggets with the highest percentage of points in the paint and fast break points in the league per NBA.com's Stats tool, one of the best offensive attacks and right on cue, one of the best crunchtime offenses in the NBA.
Still, the dictated wisdom of the past suggested that regardless of their regular season success, the Nuggets' philosophy was burdened with cracks that would lead to an inevitable playoff loss. So when the Nuggets looked defeated against the Warriors in the first round, the walls started to cave in on the 2013 Coach of the Year. The Nuggets were deemed an experiment — one that was defined and conducted by Karl — so once they lost, the experiment was surmised as a failure and as such, so was the conductor.
Here's what really happened, though — and why the "experiment" may have been effective all along. Streaky shooting and the orchestrated heroics of Stephen Curry aside, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets by beating them at their own game. They went from scoring just 13.8 percent of their points off of turnovers in the regular season to 17.6 percent — a rate that would have had them in the top 10. David Lee went down and Golden State discovered a diamond in the rough: the beauty of playing small ball with Harrison Barnes at the power forward. Oh, and it didn't help that Danilo Gallinari — the Nuggets' second-leading scorer with a net efficiency rating of 7.2 points per 100 possessions and resident ScreenBuster (trademarked by Jordan White) — tore his ACL six games before the playoffs started.
Look at it this way. In a large sense, the NBA is slowly moving towards more dynamic crunchtime sets and away from the dreaded isolation-at-the-top-of-the-key plays. Yet no team stymied the opposing defense with more misdirection and screening in the closing minutes than the Nuggets. In the last five minutes of action with either team within five points, the Nuggets were top-3 in field goal percentage and fourth in offensive efficiency. The teams that preceded them? The Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, otherwise known as the teams that had LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant to helm their late game attacks.
The Nuggets, as we all know, didn't have one of those guys. In response, Karl tried to compose the next best thing and he managed to do it. He said, "Hey, let's stop mimicking what the other guys do. We don't have what they have but we do have something special here. Let's try and do this the best way we know how." For NBA modernists, he was a step forward for the league. In the real world though, the results still take precedence over the process and Karl was punished for being ahead of the curve.
The scapegoating of Karl was an illogical crutch but it was an inevitable aftermath in a sports world that has no mercy for the failure to live up to expectations, even when situations changes and expectations are due for reevaluation. Moreover, criticism amplifies when the object of one's contempt is working against the preserved mode of thinking. In reality, the Nuggets succeeded because Karl refused to give into the ever-present narratives lined up against his team.

Organization shows signs of distress, deciding to settle for 'divine victory' rally. Also in Arab world: Struggle over veils in Britain heats up; in Tunisia, young women wearing traditional clothing beaten. Weekly column
Roee Nahmias
Published: 10.14.06, 23:59 / Israel News
Roee Nahmias
"The failure to deliver governmental compensation for the demolished houses is pushing us to a state of hunger," owners of the ruined houses chanted during a demonstration Friday. Although the protest was directed at Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, it appears that if the situation is not improved, Hizbullah will also hear about it.
Tunisia: War over hijab
Tensions are heating up in Tunisia after the state banned women from wearing the hijab head covering. It appears that what until now only took place in France and other European areas is making its way into Tunisia, and during the holy month of Ramadan of all times.
It all began when Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali declared this week that "we must fight ethnic clothing" – the common name given to the headscarf in official media.
During a meeting with the state's Minister of Religious Affairs Boubaker El Akhzouri, the president stated that "we must separate between the foreign ethnic clothing and the original Tunisian clothing, which is the focus of identity, in order to avoid any resentment."
To his opposers he said: "Tunisia has always stuck to its loyal Islamism and stressed the value of modesty, which is views as part of its clothing tradition in cities and villages."
Ben Ali's remarks were made in support of the stance of his party's secretary-general, al-Hadi Mahni, who expressed his complete rejection of what he referred to as "the ethnic clothing which has nothing to do with the country's identity and which impairs the accomplishments and gains achieved by the Tunisian woman."
Battles over headscarf (Archive photo: Reuters)
In Tunisia, which has proudly maintained its secular identity over the years, clashes and arguments immediately broke out over the ban. Clashes took place in the north of the capital between security forces and Islamic activists. The clashes in a northern suburb of the city, near a mosque, were so severe that security forces in the area were reinforced.
Women wearing headscarfs began complaining that the security forces were trying to force them to sign a commitment to remove the hijab while entering police stations.
In another incident, legal source in Tunisia noted that security forces detained four young women wearing headscarfs and beat them. A human rights activist in Tunisia said that security officers wearing civil clothing attacked the young women and threatened to beat them if they would not remove the scarf. This incident, which was the first of its kind since the Tunisian government launched its current struggle against the headscarf, caused a lot of anger.
But it was not the only incident. The Qatar-based newspaper al-Watan reported that in one of the capital's suburbs, a high school principal expelled all the female students wearing a headscarf and asked them not to return with the "ethnic clothing." After the incident, eight of the students returned to the school and asked to enter their classroom, but were turned down.
The media in the country, however, fell into line with the regime's stance and condemned the traditional clothing. The al-Sabah newspaper, for example, explained that "the traditional clothing is a phenomenon endangering our social entity." The newspaper even compared women wearing a headscarf and bearded men to "the cavemen who woke up from their sleep after hundreds of years."
The new crisis seems especially emotionally charged after more and more women have been seen wearing headscarfs in Tunisia's city streets and universities in the past years. In light of this crisis, commentators have warned of the possibility that the "hijab battle" will constitute a political turning point, which will take Tunisia back to the circle of battles between the government and the Islamic circles after a calm period that has been going on for more than 15 years.
And in Britain: War over nikab
It is interesting to note that in light of the tensions in Tunisia, tolerant statements have been made voiced about the nikab face veil in Britain, where tensions have also flared over a similar issue.
Ruth Kelly, the British minister for women and equality, expressed her support of the Muslim woman's right to wear a face veil. According to Kelly, there is no reason why the Muslim woman should not have the freedom to decide whether to wear a face veil or not.
Kelly's remarks contradicted a statement made by her colleague, former British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who said that the nikab was an obstacle preventing a face-to-face connection between the Muslim women and others.
Straw's stance received support from a very surprising figure – Egyptian Religious Endowment Minister Mahmoud Hamdi Zaqzouq, who said that wearing the nikab was not part of the Muslim law and was only a custom.
However, the British Daily Mirror reported on Friday that a Muslim teacher was fired after insisting on wearing a face veil while teaching her young students at an elementary school in the country. According to the report, the school principal asked the teacher, Aisha Azmi, to remove the nikab in the classroom after students complained that they found it difficult to understand what was being said during her English classes because they could not see her lips.
The school told the teacher that she would be allowed to wear the nikab in the school's corridors and teachers' room, but would have to remove it in the classroom. Azmi refused, stressing that the nikab was part of her cultural identity, and the school decided to fire her.
Officials at the local education authorities said that the situation was ridiculous. How can a teacher teach small children English while her face is covered, they asked. Azmi, in response, decided to sue the school at the labor court.

You can't download non-B&N e-books directly to NOOK. You have to download them to your computer, then sideload them to your NOOK.

Re: unable to download to nookkeenreader Oct 27, 2011 2:34 PM (in response to Doug_Pardee)
thankyou so much for that, I have now successfully got the books onto ADE, I even purchased another to make sure it was working properly.
But now, even though I have dragged them into my nook, I cannot see them on the nook, do I have to have wifi connection for this to occur??
I tried dragging and dropping again, but it said file already exists, so it has gone over, it's just not showing up on the nook. I am almost there, just need to fix this little problem now!

'Idology': A Hollow Victory for Season 12's Women?
Michael Slezak, TVLine.com's resident American Idol expert, returns with Season 6 standout Melinda Doolittle for an all-new Idology.
This week, Michael and Melinda address whether this will be remembered as the season that had to cheat to get a female winner by stacking the deck in the ladies' favor. In addition, the hosts discuss the transcendent performances of Candice Glover and Kree Harrison, and question if any of the other remaining girls can spoil a Candice/Kree finale.
Check out the video below via TVLine.com:
While I agree wholeheartedly with the reality that women have often gotten short shrift on Idol ever since season 6, I feel it's pretty indisputable that this season had the weakest male lineup in the history of the show, in terms of viable potential winners. And I don't think anyone can convince me that this wasn't a purposeful choice on the part of The Powers That Be. Yes, we absolutely got the right result with this top 5. And who knows? Maybe we'd have still gotten this top 5 even if they'd put, say, Josh Holiday through to America's vote. But I do think that this will ultimately prove to be a bit of a hollow victory for the ladies, as the attempts to manufacture a female winner have been so embarrassingly transparent that it's undermining what has been an unquestionably stellar season for the women, with performers like Kree Harrison and Candice Glover bringing the goods every week.
With that said, I still don't get the Amber love, and I've given up on the idea that I ever will. Yet I get the feeling that the pimping could get her to top 3, just through sheer force of will. This has been something of an unprecedented season already, with three of the top 5 having previously auditioned for the show (Janelle and Candice are three-peats, and Amber was cut in Vegas last year). Every Idol winner was someone who won on their first try, yet that streak could come to an end this year. That, in and of itself, is kind of fascinating to me.
So what do you think? Would we have still gotten this final 5 with a stronger male lineup? Is this the season that had to cheat to get a female winner? Can anyone spoil the Kree/Candice finale? Sound off in the comments!

The services sector in Russia is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Russian economy. U.S. companies have an important advantage in entering the Russian services market, as most service sectors are undeveloped and are in dire need of foreign expertise. Russian consumers have a high regard for U.S. quality and are likely to choose a service from a provider with a Western component. An important issue that a foreign provider of services in Russia should consider is the currency control. Under the current laws, it is unclear when services provided by a foreign entity in Russia must be paid for in rubles or in foreign currency. As an imported service does not always qualify as an imported product, the settlement would depend on interpretation of the relevant law. Though some services are still being paid for in foreign currency, the Arthur Andersen Tax Alert of December 30, 1997, points out that there is "a policy shift that is well within the general direction of reducing foreign currency settlements and pushing the businesses into settling in rubles". At the same time, there is a mechanism to convert rubles into hard currency and repatriate profits. U.S. service providers are recommended to clarify the issue in advance with a law firm in order to avoid possible problems connected with ruble conversions and exchange rate fluctuations.
Advertising had no place in the planned Soviet economy but now market reforms have sparked an advertising boom in Russia and turned it into a thriving business. Advertising has evolved from being barely known and not well practiced to the point that, as more and more Western-made commodities appear in the Russian market, Western-style advertising has become more common on television and radio, and billboards. Professional advertising agencies and advertising research centers are now operating in Russia and Western manuals on advertising and marketing have become very popular. Western advertising companies dominate the Russian market and generate the demand for most of the mass media advertising.
Consulting Services
If investments in the Russian economy and trade continue to grow, consulting services, including management consulting, legal, accounting, audit, and market research services are likely to grow along with it. These services are already in high demand in major Russian cities.
Educational/Training Services
The educational system has been traditionally a strong part of Russian culture. Demand for U.S. educational and training services in Russia is increasing. Russian students are attending U.S.- and Russia-based American educational institutions at all levels--from secondary schools to universities, from undergraduate and graduate courses to short-term training courses. U.S. education is considered to be of high quality, especially for business and law schools. Various programs - U.S. government-sponsored and private - provide Russian undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scientists and industry professionals, with an opportunity for education and training in the United States. In addition, hundreds of Russians study in the United States, with scholarships and other financial aid at U.S. universities and colleges. Representatives of the emerging upper class prefer to send their children to study abroad, since they can afford to pay for it. Cooperation with Russian institutions is the best strategy for the U.S. universities and colleges to offer their educational/training services in Russia with English language courses for children and adults in great demand.
Energy Services
Opportunities for U.S. service providers in the Russian energy-related industries vary widely depending on the industry. The oil and gas sectors present better opportunities for U.S. services companies due to stable revenues from Russian oil and gas exports. Services for the power generation and mining sectors are limited due to the inability of companies in this sector to pay their bills. This is also somewhat true for oil and gas services as well.
Financial Services
Leasing Services: Leasing of equipment has become an increasingly important area of the Russian economy, due to an undeveloped credit system and the national need to a financially feasible way to upgrade obsolete equipment. As a result, leasing is rapidly growing in Russia as a means to finance exports of capital goods to Russia. A number of U.S. and other foreign leasing companies are operating successfully in Russia, where they are well positioned to provide competitive services because of the high cost of domestic credit. Leasing experts predict a rapid development in leasing arrangements in Russia's major cities over the next few years. In general, leasing in Russia is a significant financial tool and a rapidly growing industry, with prospects of up to 50 percent growth annually.
Insurance: The insurance sector has enormous growth potential. Foreign-licensed companies can be involved in reinsurance and mutual insurance for Russian companies. Foreign firms are allowed to hold 49 percent stakes in joint ventures with Russian insurers.
Food Services
Catering Services: Catering is a relatively new but rapidly growing service sector in Russia. This service is provided in major Russian cities and is not yet sensitive to intense competition based on price and quality. The wide range of end-users includes all kinds of businesses, scientific institutions, individuals holding receptions, organizing conferences, as well as personal parties and weddings. Stronger competition should encourage better quality.
Food Delivery: Another business option for restaurants, stores and specialized companies is food delivery. Although there exists strong demand for such services, only very few elite and highly expensive stores provide food delivery services in Russia. Main consumers for food delivery services from both stores and restaurants include upper and medium class. Polls taken from middle-class consumers in Moscow have shown that there is a demand for reasonably priced food delivery services, such as pizza delivery. Wealthier consumers are taking advantage of food delivery services provided by a limited number of expensive food stores.
Take-out Services in Restaurants: Demand for take-out services is growing despite the high prices compared to similar services in economically developed countries in Europe and the United States. Nonetheless, the number of restaurants, cafes, and bars in major Russian cities is increasing, along with the quality and competitiveness of these ventures. Restaurants, bars, and cafes are diverse in their cuisine and range of services. However, many restaurants still do not offer food for take-out though the demand for such service exists.
The potential impact of franchising in Russia is enormous since the market for most services is undeveloped. But, given the complicated legal, tax, and regulatory climate, the franchise approach has so far been successfully used only in fast food. Franchising has also been growing in such areas as business centers, entertainment centers, cleaning services, and dry-cleaning services.
Health Care Services
It is difficult to estimate the total size of the health care market in Russia because the statistics collected for local production are in terms of units, not in value. While total imports into Russia of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment in 1997 are estimated at $2.2 billion, the import of medical services is considerably less. The volume of medical services provided by local state facilities is decreasing while the level of services provided by private clinics and doctors is growing. In 1996, the total volume of health care services provided on a fee-for-service basis was about $1 billion. In the health care services area, the most promising subsectors include illness and disease prevention, medical education programs, health care insurance services, and the design of modern out-patient health care facilities.
Information Technology
Telecommunications Services: Russia, with its vast distances, high demand for basic local telecommunications infrastructure and low penetration rate (currently 18 lines per 100 inhabitants), has a high growth potential in both basic telephony and alternative Telecom services. Telecom service providers are expected to expand their services to the Russian regions in the coming year, noting the tough competition in the Moscow and St. Petersburg markets, and the fact that several Russian regions are recovering from the economic crisis and are able to allocate funds for the development of the telecommunications networks in their areas. An important step, such as introduction of per-minute billing, is being planned or will be introduced by several local governments in Russia. The Moscow Government is planning to introduce this potentially unpopular measure in July 1998. This is likely to reduce the volume of local communications, as consumers have been used to low flat monthly bills. The Russian Government's priority for the next five to ten years in the telecom sector is to develop strong local loop infrastructure in both urban and rural areas. The Government has declared an important initiative, the Presidential "People's Telephone" program, which is actually an advance payment scheme. The program has been carried out through mixed financing from the resources of the telecom enterprises, credit and loans, and bonds. By purchasing such a bond, an individual can move up the waiting list to have a telephone line installed in his house/apartment. Under this program, in 1997, one million new telephone numbers were installed.
Internet Providers: Internet services are on the rise in Russia. About 600,000 Russians in all 89 regions are using Internet services and this figure is doubling each year. About 100,000 individual users have IP (Internet Protocol) connections and that number is growing about four times every year. There are about 6,000 Russian Web sites and this figure has increased nine times since August 1996.
Computer Services: A survey of the Russian market indicates that in spite of the general economic decline in Russia, the Russian computer and computer services market is expanding rapidly. Moreover, increased sales of computer hardware have resulted in greater demand for after-sales service and technical support. Computer services are likely to be the most profitable in the financially lucrative sectors of the Russian economy, particularly banking and energy. Consultants on computer networking and security do particularly well in these sectors. As the computer market in Russia will continue to change rapidly, a strong marketing strategy should be developed for any computer services. As with other industry sectors, competition in the computer market is marked by price, credit, promotion and advertising.
Tourism is a rapidly developing industry in Russia. During the last few years Russia has been steadily developing its tourist infrastructure, increasing number of travelers into and from Russia. Moscow's rapid growth as a world business center has caused a boom in the hotel business. Hotels that offer top-flight rooms and service are beginning to also appear in Russia's provinces.
Transportation Services
According to the available market research and projections into future, the transport sector will go through a period of explosive growth in the next two decades.
--Road Construction: Russia has signed international agreements to integrate its road system into the European road infrastructure by developing several transport corridors on a high-priority basis. With the prospects for increased traffic on these roads, servicing facilities will be needed along the roads, including customs clearing houses, warehouses, sheds, filling stations and motels.
--Rail: The rail system in Russia is going through a period of decline, though it still represents the cheapest mode of transportation in the country. Existing reconstruction projects are underfinanced. As the regions assume more self-sufficiency and independence, they will exert more control over the regional railways but to date lack the resources needed to modernize them. Any growth in the Russian railway services on the railways in the near future will be moderate at best.
--Road Transport: The fastest growing sector of the economy (after telecommunications) is the automotive industry. The annual production of cars in Russia is expected to jump from less than a million a year in 1997 to almost 10 million in 2015. This will drastically impact the corresponding service sectors, which will need to expand to adjust to the growth in traffic. Cities are gradually waking up to the challenges and opportunities of the growing traffic. The municipal authorities have started awarding contracts for the construction and maintenance of new filling stations, service stations and car washes. The number of local companies dealing in spare parts and accessories, batteries and car care products continues to grow.
--Aerospace: At present, this sector is undergoing a period of reconstruction. The government is struggling to consolidate the industry and keep it competitive on the world market. At the same time, the fleet of commercial planes is aging rapidly and 70 percent of all aircraft will need to be replaced over the next 10-15 years.
--Airports: Russia has adopted a program of modernization of approximately 30 airports, mostly located in the largest cities of Russia. These airports in the main cities around the country will be turned into hubs with the subsequent development of infrastructure and services.

can the Cubs line and end up only a half game back?
I hate the cubs lineup
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Wells has done a very good job since getting called up. If the Cubs start to play even half way decently they should pull away.
Cubs lead 1-0
cubs down 3-1
My fault - I turned on the WGN broadcast and first thing I heard was the crack of the bat on the 3 run shot.
Fontenot just got one back, 3-2.
First team to score 10 today wins.
10 may not be enough with the wind blowing out
ramirez drives in the tying run 3-3
Go Clones!!
Gig 'em Aggies!!
Saw 'em off!!
Ron Santo just said The Hangover is the best movie he's ever seen, LOL!

Hopefully it was a pitch right down the middle and Wells was daring him to hit it as far as he could.
Oh well, it looks like Ramirez is back in full force.

Music Library Parking for Visitors
An important goal for the Music Library is to be the premier music resource for the tri-states region. We encourage use of our facilities by campus and community members. Most items in the collection may be checked out by non-affiliated patrons. However, many community users are deterred from using the Music Library facility (situated in Sallee Hall, 108) due to the difficulty of finding convenient parking. The Music Library suggests the following options to assist visitors:
- There is ample parking at the University Services Building (the old HyVee on University Drive). From there, you may take a Green Route bus to Browne Hall. These buses run every 5-7 mins from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Monday thru Friday, during term time. Please check the bus schedules at GoWest. This is a free service.
- Visitors intending to make an extended visit to the Music Library for research purposes may request a Visitor Parking Permit from the Music Library Circulation desk, valid for the day of issue. Parking Permits may also be obtained from Parking Services in Mowbray Hall.
- A few metered spaces are available in lots within walking distance of the Music Library: Lots to the west and south of Malpass Library, north of Corbin Hall, on Sherman Circle, to the north of University Union and Hanson Field. On street parking is available along West Adams Street west of Corbin-Olson. However, these spaces are seldom vacant when school is in session. (See the Parking Map)
- Visitors who do not obtain permits and park in restricted lots may be ticketed. However, a trip to Parking Services the same day will normally result in the ticket being cancelled.
Please call the Music Library for further information: 309-298-1105

Phusa Sriwilas and Kessanee Jantrakul of ECPAT International spoke to representatives from the Macy Foundation, World Ministry Foundation, Hand to Hand Foundation and the Social Development and Human Stability Ministry to offer knowledge protecting children's rights and to brainstorm ideas on how to eliminate child prostitution and abuse.
Phusa Sriwilas (left), from the Asia and Pacific office of ECPAT International, addresses a meeting of caring citizens concerned with protecting our children.
Phusa said the "children's rights contract" is a "contract between nations" that children from all countries are entitled to certain rights from birth and that member countries must act to protect those rights.
ECPAT - which stands for Eliminate Child Prostitution in Asia Tourism - now works around the world as ECPAT International to promote its four principals that there should be no discrimination against children in protecting their rights; children must be the first priority before the law; that governments must foster the development of health, mind and emotions; and children have the right to express their opinions in making a decision.

I think you will be fine...any idea what scope you are going to mount on it?

Never had an eyepiece in the telescope on our HEQ5 (same mount, different paint). But, even at long focal lengths, the camera has never shown any signs of vibration in the images. My EQ6 has the same motors, and I regularily shoot at 2000+mm focal lengths, again, no sign of vibrations there either.

On Thursday, November 17, the states three major health systems announced at a press conference their plans to move toward tobacco-free campuses in the facilities that are part of their health systems. Representatives from Avera, Regional Health, and Sioux Valley Health Systems announced their campuses will adopt a tobacco free policy effective
The announcement coincided with the American Cancer Societys 29th Annual Great American Smokeout
"This is an exciting time for our organization to partner with other health care organizations and the governor in leading this effort which will lead to better health for our patients, visitors, physicians, and employees," said Becky Nelson, President of Sioux Valley Hospital USD Medical Center. "We celebrate this day along with the American Cancer Societys 29th Annual Great American Smoke out."
At the press conference, Governor Rounds applauded the health care organizations for the initiative.
"A tobacco-free campus might seem like a natural step for a health care institution to take. However, these facilities are also large employers and they face the same issues and challenges any employer does in going tobacco-free," said Governor Rounds. "That's why I appreciate their leadership in this initiative and the wonderful example they're setting for all employers."
Rounds also announced the States executive branch offices will join the effort and become tobacco free, effective
Businesses and organizations interested in joining the tobacco free initiative can find more information at www.healthysd.gov or contact the Tobacco Control Program with the South Dakota Department of Health at 605-773-3737 or 1-800-738-2301.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia nurse accused of handing her 93-year-old terminally ill father a bottle of morphine is breaking her silence after a judge dismissed an assisted suicide charge against her.
Barbara Mancini plans to discuss her yearlong ordeal now that a Schuylkill County judge dismissed the felony charge.
Mancini will be joined Wednesday by Compassion & Choices, a group that supports aid in dying and other end-of-life decisions. The group is urging Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane not to file an appeal.
A Kane spokesman says no decision has been made.
Mancini was charged with giving a nearly full bottle of morphine to her father, Joseph Yourshaw, at for the purpose of helping him end his life. Yourshaw died at a hospital four days later after a hospice nurse called 911.

Treatments for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Treatment for general anxiety disorder (GAD) falls into two categories:
- Psychotherapy—This may include cognitive behavioral therapy , and other forms of treatment like relaxation techniques and biofeedback .
- Medication
Since psychotherapy is more effective than medication, it is usually the first treatment that is tried. Researchers have found that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in treating GAD. Medications have shown to work better than placebo. Most patients benefit from a combination of therapies. More research, though, needs to be done for the other forms of therapy.
Although medical care can help most people with GAD, treatment success varies from person to person. Some experience an improvement after only a few months of treatment, while with others it may take a year or more. Treatment can be complicated by having another condition at the same time, such as substance abuse , depression , or other anxiety disorders.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specially trained primary care providers are trained to treat GAD. If your doctor doesn't have special training, ask for the name of a doctor or counselor who does.
Treatment involves the following:MedicationsOther treatmentsAlternative and complementary therapies
Currently, surgical procedures are not a treatment option for GAD.

I'm assuming you are responding to the real ANNOUNCE, not this accidental one. The message you are responding to is hardly "extensive" ha ha, more like empty.

By any reasonable definition I would have to say no. All specifications are in the dictionary file, and there is no userland tool to override or modify them. So if the caption for column WIDGET is "Widget Code", and the user wants it to be "Widget No", we have to change the dictionary file and run a build.
My plan from the beginning, but alas this remains unimplemented, is to allow userland mods to any system-supplied data, using a system that protects the original values. The idea would be that any table holding system-supplied data (meaning data in the Dictionary file) would actually be built as two tables. The system-supplied stuff would go into table A, and userland mods would go into table B as overrides. A view would provide run-time access to entries from B where applicable and fallback to A.

Tedy Bruschi Retires - One Less Great Name in FootballWhit Honea
Tedy Bruschi (brew-ski, I know, it's awesome) is retiring from football – assuming of course the city of Boston will let him. They loves them some Bruschi, and rightfully so. Tedy Bruschi is something of a badass.
Bruschi has been a New England Patriot his entire career and was the NFL "Comeback Player of the Year" in 2005 after leaving football due to a mild stroke.
Tedy Bruschi will now spend his Sundays with his wife Heidi and their three boys, Tedy Jr., Dante and Rex.
On a personal note, Tedy Bruschi attended the University of Arizona the same time that I did and while I'm not a fan of the Patriots (screw you, Patriots), I've always been a huge fan of his.
Best of luck, Tedy.

Time is money, as your boss chuckles. But what if time ACTUALLY WAS OUR CURRENCY??? Ohhhhhh nooooo! I hope you weren't stoned when were reading that shit! Anyway, that's the conceit behind Andrew Niccol's latest, In Time, which proposes a future wherein humans live until 25, stop aging, and then must work to earn more years of life--both to live and spend on coffee and things. In this strange future world, Justin Timberlake is shockingly not the rich star of the just-released romantic-comedy Friends with Benefits; he's a working-class guy just scraping by enough to buy a coffee and live another day. But that all changes one day when the guy from USA's White Collar donates his millions of life-dollars to JT and jumps off a bridge, making Sexyback both life-rich and a prime suspect in a possible homicide. Yikes! Then Timberlake teaches us some important lessons about the problems immortality, the class war, and how to make pretty generic thriller seem like a Philip K. Dick story with the addition of a simple sci-fi gimmick. You'll have to learn those lessons yourself, though, with this trailer:
So, In Time and The Adjustment Bureau share not just dressed up dudes yanking a woman around by the hand but also the inclusion of a jerk from Mad Men?

She says the decision to include non members is in response to multiple requests from agencies and content providers not within the customer publishing space.
"Moreover, as the APA has grown in profile internationally, we have also received many requests from publishing agencies outside the UK to widen the Effectiveness Awards' (as was) entry remit. The UK is widely considered as one of the strongest markets for editorialised branded content and we have frequently been told that non-UK agencies would relish the opportunity to have their work measured and judged against our members. We responded by launching the International Customer Publishing Awards, which recognise outstanding editorialised branded content, irrespective of territory."
While unable to comment about which African countries didn't make the shortlist, she says next year's entrants must focus on the effectiveness of their editorial.
"The judges found it frustrating this year to be unable to award entries that just didn't include robust results. Even if the strategy was innovative, exciting and creative, the lion's share of the judging criteria is based on the return the editorialisation of brand generates, whether loyalty, sales, footfall or brand awareness."
Explaining how they made the cut, Sumien Brink, Woolworths TASTE editor and editorial director at New Media Publishing, says, "TASTE is an exquisite food magazine that can hold its own among the world's best food magazines in terms of content, creativity and production values. Secondly, TASTE has shown clearly how it serves the purposes of the client in terms of quality, innovation and value and drive sales of Woolworths products.
"Our research has shown that 75% of readers buy products at Woolworths as a direct result of seeing it in TASTE magazine. A typical example is our cover with the broad beans. Once that cover was on news stand, sales of broad beans doubled as a result in stores countrywide and whereas before Woolworths might have stopped stocking broad beans because of poor sales, the company has now reversed that decision entirely. TASTE has proven that it works for both the client and the reader or customer."
According to Brink, TASTE's website goes live on 1 December 2009. "It promises to be the ultimate site for foodies looking for TASTE recipes of the last 6 years but that's not all."

I would appreciate any help anyone could give me with this...
Basically I'm a student about to go into my second year and earlier in the year, my boyfriend and I agreed to move in together as I am very different to most other students and just really don't fancy living with loads of people again. He didn't have a job at the time but he was hopeful he'd get a job or get onto the teaching degree. He was told his degree was something then found out it was less than that so missed out on the teaching course. This has put us both in a very bad situation as you can imagine.
He cannot pay any rent. The only option left would be for him to claim housing benefit to pay for rent on a one bed flat and I pay the rest. I live in Birmingham and he lives currently in the south in a sea side town where there is no work, so the situation is bad. Obviously, i'm making all this effort because he is my boyfriend and I don't just want to go back on everything and make things worse. I'm starting to think I might have to just go it alone and move into a studio flat but I fear the relationship won't survive it or i'll be in trouble yet again by having him down so he can search for work.
Sorry for the very long winded explaination but this is the problem.
What would you do?

You are very different to other students how? You should look for rooms in shared houses or if you want to fork out the cash, look for studio flats or unite house/opal. If he can't pay his way you shouldn't live with him. If he gets a job and sorts things out then maybe you can in the future
Student living hasn't at all been for me. I'm not a partying kinda person, did that when I was much much younger and as I have had to grow up very quickly due to difficult family circumstances, I find that many people just don't share the same attitudes that I do.
People also haven't been nice to me this year - Due to the fact I am alt and hence just not interested in what they are. I made good friends on my course, but a lot of them live at home or had sorted accomodation out before I really got to know them. I also do suffer from depression and trust issues so this probably worsens things.

In advance of the airing of the first trailer for director Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger during this weekend's Super Bowl, Marvel Studios has released, via the L.A. Times, the first still image from the movie to feature Sebastian Stan as James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes. Bucky appeared in the very first issue of Captain America Comics way back in 1941 and was very much a "sidekick" to Cap during his wartime adventures.
But Johnston told the Times that "Bucky isn't a sidekick" in First Avenger and that he has a "darker edge" than in the comics. Johnston also revealed some minor plot details that explain the "interesting relationship" between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Bucky.
We took some liberties with the relationship between the two guys. In our story, Bucky is already in the service, he's already joined up and is being sent overseas while Steve is still struggling to get in the army. That's different than what you may have read in the comics. It adds a nuance to the relationship that pays off later. They're closer in age, too — they're virtually the same age. That's not the case at all if you go back to the old comics.
Johnston went on to say that Stan was actually considered for the role of Captain America, but that "he didn't have quite the same earnest, I-want-to-fight-for-my-country aura" as Evans. He did, however, have "a little bit of that dark side" that made him a "perfect" fit for Johnston's interpretation of Bucky.
Sebastian brought something really interesting and slightly on the dark side and really compelling to watch — when he's on camera, you're fascinated by watching him," Johnston said. "In a great cast, I thought he really stood out and brought some unexpected things to the role. Everyone brought something to the movie and a lot of them brought something great but I was most pleasantly surprised by what Chris brought and what Sebasatian brought in a much smaller role as Bucky.
Additionally, a second image of Bucky popped up on the French site LesToilesHeroiques. According to the site, the image was scanned from the French magazine Première, which explains the poor quality of the picture.
Captain America: The First Avenger was written by Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus. The cast includes Hugo Weaving, Toby Jones, Hayley Atwell, Dominic Cooper, Stanley Tucci, and Neal McDonough.

OPEN WINDOWS: Black Leather, New Poster For Nacho Vigalondo Thriller
I had the opportunity to see Nacho Vigalondo's third feature Open Windows at the European Film Market in Berlin earlier this month. And while I can't tell you any details, I can say that it was pretty incredible: intelligent, innovative, brilliantly executed, and edge-of-your-seat exciting.
Nick Chambers has won a dinner with Jill Goddard, his favourite movie star. But on the evening, he is told by Chord, a representative of the film company, that Jill has refused to attend the dinner. The next thing he knows, Nick is given access to Jill's mobile phone, seeing and hearing her most intimate moments on his computer. But that is only the beginning of what seems to be a much larger, darker plan.
I am jealous of all those attending SXSW next month who will get to enjoy it with a big crowd. In the meantime, everyone else will have to make due with this amazing new poster, which debuted at Badass Digest today.

Winding Down from Canton to the Ohio River
Average Rating - This road has been rated by 3 visitors
State: Ohio
Date Submitted: April 1, 2007
Submitted by: Otter and Debbie
Motorcycle Road Length: 70 Miles
Written Directions
- Start in Canton and proceed south on I-77 to the SR 212 exit in Bolivar. At the end of the off ramp, turn left (east) onto SR 212.
- Stay on SR 212 east until it intersects SR 151, 3 miles after going through the small town of Leesville.
- Turn right onto SR 151 (north). Follow SR 151 until it dead ends into US 250 (approx. 5 miles).
- Turn right onto US 250 (north) and follow until it intersects with SR 800 (approx. 3 miles).
- Follow SR 800 south until it intersects with SR 148 (approx. 60 miles ... just after Barnesville, Oh).
- Turn left onto SR 148 (south). Follow SR 148 to SR 7 (approx. 30 miles) and end up in Powhatan Point, OH.
Rolling Ohio countryside with streams that follow the roads and lakes in the distance. Old houses in many of the towns. Great views from the hilltops. Overall this route has it all as far as motorcycling goes. If you want to cruise and enjoy the scenery, or if "hitting the curves" is your style of riding, this is the route for you. I've ridden this route at least 25 times. I just love it!
Road Quality
Great roads with lots of curves and hills. Not a route for a novice. All with the added bonus of there not being much traffic on many of the roads.
Roadside Amenities
This route takes you through some small towns and villages, like Zoar, Ohio. Gas is no problem. There are some small "mom and pop" type restaurants and of course fast food. These will be found in or close to the small towns along the way.

General comments
I do not doubt that the proposal provides better compliance with cleaner data modeling as required by the metadata registry. My concern though arises in the attempt to categorize these notes as strictly applicable to either Item or Manifestation. Drawing on a personal practice in MARC, it has been my habit to confine notes applicable to the item to the copy of the bibliographic record in the local database. (I realize the inclusion of item specific notes in bibliographic records is not the best practice but is often the only means to make such information available due to the limitations of ILSes to search or display notes in the item record.) An exception to this practice, where I would include essentially an item-specific note in the master bibliographic record would be the case where the condition of the item in hand would affect the ability to catalog the manifestation -- for instance, damage to the title page affecting the ability to transcribe the descriptive elements of title, publisher, etc. Back in the days before the "Expert Community" easing of editing restrictions in OCLC, such records were encoded as level-K, with a note in field 500 and a $5 -- this would afford an institution with a complete copy to recognize that the record matched despite minor discrepancies and the ability to update the master record. My question then is what kind of note would "Title transcription incomplete due to a lacuna of the title page" be? It is a note regarding the title, but is specific to a single item. Rare though it would be, where would such a note fit into this rigid scheme? MYERS, CCDA liaison to the MAC, 2013/08/21
Question on p. 2: I don't have a particular opinion here & would welcome insights from any CC:DA members/liaisons.
Preference between option 1 & option 2 (p. 4-5): I prefer option 1, since I think the structure is more important than the instruction renumbering.
Comment on Myers' observation above: A note like "Title transcription incomplete due to a lacuna of the title page" is an item note. RDA cannot be hamstrung by MARC (or any other encoding schema) in relation to data modeling. Anyone using WorldCat Local as their discovery layer is already dealing with problems like this.

Stuck on the outdoors.
If you live in a state that has mild winters, or even if you experience
harsh winters but love the outdoors, try these exercise suggestions:
Downhill skiing. If
you are a skiing fanatic, buy a season pass at the closest slope and make
it a routine.
Run rabbit, run. Love
to run? Buy the necessary winter clothing (and don't forget reflective
strips for the dark morning or evening hours) and hit the great outdoors.
Running tends to be a better experience when the weather is cooler, but
make sure it isn't too cold out - you don't want to push yourself too
Frisbee or disc golf.
Frisbee/disc golf is all the rage - it is a fun activity that
burns the calories quite well. Find out if you have a group in your area
and join in order to maintain a fun workout.
Ice skating anyone? Ice
skating is another great way to burn calories, so find a local outdoor
rink and do some high energy laps.
Hockey. Bring
your ice skating to the next level - play some hockey. Get the family
together, or find a group willing to play a few days a week. You'll have a
blast and burn those calories.
Walk it out. If
you have mild winters, chances are you can still walk your normal outdoor
track. Keep up the pace and wear appropriate clothing in order to be safe.
Cycling. Again,
if you live in a mild climate, biking is still an option for you.
Depending on the season, you may want to adjust your biking routine to
make sure the sun is out so you can be seen, or wear reflective clothing
that's easy to spot.
Snow shoes work the
legs. Snow on the ground? Grab a pair of snow shoes for an
ultimate leg work out. You'll burn more calories than walking without them
and be able to enjoy the fresh winter air.
Curling. This
sport is usually played in an ice arena or outdoor rink. It's fun, different
from the same old routine and burns calories to boot.
If you live in a state that has mild winters, or even if you experience
harsh winters but love the outdoors, try these exercise suggestions:

Mr. Atul,
Thank you for liking the article. The article is on number theory, which deals with properties of integers.
As it is for real numbers you can have infinite solutions for triples and quadruples.
