Dear Governor Brownback,
This afternoon I saw a link on the Hays Post Facebook page featuring a picture of Craig Manteuffel, the Hays High School Band director. In the caption of the picture was an alarming statistic: "A study of budget cuts for the arts in Kansas finds more than 600 music positions in grades K-12 have been eliminated in Kansas the past five years." Mr. Manteuffel called this statistic a "travesty." I agree but find that to be a polite understatement. As a native Kansan, my life has been shaped by many outstanding, wonderful, and extremely dedicated music teachers – from Coronado Elementary (Ms. Anderson and Mrs. Westerman) to Salina South Middle School (Mr. Roegge) to Salina South High School (Mr. Fillmore) and Fort Hays State University (Dr. Jordan and Mr. Dawson).
I am currently working towards my doctorate in trumpet performance at the University of North Texas. My music education in Kansas thoroughly prepared me for doctoral studies at the nation's largest music program. Not only am I a member of the top auditioned orchestra, the UNT Symphony Orchestra, I am also in the top auditioned wind ensemble, the UNT Wind Symphony. This is no small feat considering there are over 100 trumpeters on campus. After my degree is completed, I would love to return to Kansas with my wife to raise a family and establish my. If this trend continues there will be no reason for us to do so.
Without these Kansas music educators, my passion for making and (more importantly) sharing music would still be unrealized. It sickens and outrages me that young Kansans are being deprived of the opportunity to make, share, and experience music. Playing my trumpet has given me a voice, a medium of expression, and a sense of value that is simply unparalleled. How can we deny this to our youngest citizens who are yearning to express themselves? I understand there are many many factors at work here and I do not want to point fingers, lay blame or call names. As a future music teacher, I simply want to ask: What can I do to help?

Missile weapons just straight up suck, because you need way too many proficiency points just so it actually shoots where I aim.
So, what's the fastest way to kill an army without cheating?
overlorddwolf 6 years ago#2
It all depends on your playing style. Missile weapons are great (or annoying, depending on your opinion) en masse because accuracy tends to be optional when it comes to a rain of arrows, bolts, or whatever projectiles you and your men use.
At least it can't get any worse. Ooooh but it can, for I am the ultimate soldier of chaos, d00d!!!!
OK, I tried it out.
Projectiles suck. I suppose that's why they call it mount&blade. Implying the best unit is mounted with a blade. (swadian knights)
They are so damn weak, if the opponent has shields, it's over. The shields last forever until they get into melee range to rape them up in ass.
I suppose they might do well in defending a castle, but that's it.
EvilBookworm 6 years ago#4
flank them. set up 2 groups, or have your infantry in front. if they have to deal with two sides, they'll often go after one, letting the other have their flanks.
Death is a journey. The funeral is the last stop. The coffin is the train, the reaper the conductor. Me, I'm the guy who sells you a ticket at half price...
Lemming_Of_Evil 6 years ago#5
When going against shields with a bow, the only type I find annoying are the larger board shields, as otherwise I'll just kneecap the enemy if I can't get around them for a proper flanking shot.
My first played through, I played with a lance / one-handed axe & shield combo, but now am trying with a war-bow and shortened two-handed scythe. Although I miss the couching damage of the lance, once I got good at hitting a target at different angles from a speeding horse with a bow, it became one of my favorite weapons.
Trying for head-shots can be quite fun as well.

I have 2 level 30 characters, one is sword/shield and bow/arrow, and the other is morningstar/shield, 2h sword, and spear.
I used to think the same thing about bow weapons. It seemed like it was a lot of work with not a lot of payoff, but my opinion has changed drastically the higher up I got it. Yes, you will have to deal with the slow leveling of the weapon (not to mention that you only have around 30 shots per battle), but they are great weapons for taking out fleeing soldiers. This character is highly skilled in riding and horse archery, and you also need to take into account that the more power draw you have, the more damage your bow will do (this also applies to thrown weapons, but not crossbows), and for each successive point after the requirement of the bow adds bonus damage, up to 4 skill levels (so 4 in power draw and a 4 requirement bow, will do an extra 72% damage with 8 power draw).
Horse archery takes some definite skill to get down, and you'll rarely want to use a ranged weapon on foot (you probably won't get much chance to follow through with more than a few shots), but they are dangerous weapons in the right hands and head shots can straight up single-shot practically every class. It's also cool as hell if you fire an arrow across the map and hit someone from far away - seeing those skill shot modifiers skyrocket is pretty satisfying. You'll also want to grab a good horse that has high maneuverability (speed is important, but not as important IMO). This is key for being a succesful horse archer, as to be able to switch directions quickly to line up shots is something you'll have to get down and be fairly good at.
For the other character, I use a Morningstar, and this weapon is awesome because it has a chance to ignore shields completely and connect - and that's a great thing to have. 2h swords I don't use very often, but on foot, they can wipe the floor with the enemy (they swing slower on horseback). I'm not much of a fan of Spears and Polearms, and the spear I have can't couch, but it's good for catching fleeing enemies with that extra range, and a regular spear strikes fairly quickly.
All and all, I think every weapon has a use, and some more than others. Ranged weapons are devastating when properly trained and a little practice, and while thrown weapons have few rounds, you can swap it in and out of throwing or melee status, so it's a good weapon that covers both spectrums.
OK, so the lances aren't what they used to be in the original M&B. I remember being able to couch like crazy. Now there's this huuuuuuuuge cooldown. Which is kinda ridiculous. Now most of the time I have to keep poking at them.
So I picked up a nice 1hand sword and shield. Just let them come up to me and started slashing away as fast as I could. And damn did I get a lot of kills :D
I don't like the idea of having very limited ammo for your bow. Just takes forever, not worth it. Too much of an investment and sacrifice with very little benefit.
If you run out of arrows or thrown weapons in a non-siege battle you can always go back to your baggage (the box by your flag where you start), open up your inventory, and re-equip you arrows or thrown weapons. Just click on them like you were going to swap them out and put them back in your inventory. This will reset the missile count.

The cast of Word for Word's Food Stories (l to r): Rudy Guerrero, Molly Benson, Soren Oliver, Patricia Silver, Delia MacDougall, Gendell Hernandez.
San Francisco-based theatre company Word for Word is performing two food-themed plays beginning Saturday. Satirist T.C. Boyle takes a humorous stab at the world of food critics in Sorry Fugu, and Alice McDermott's Enough chronicles a woman's life through her enjoyment of food. Here Word for Word cofounder JoAnne Winter talks about the dual creative passions of food and theatre, and how the company uses food to connect with its neighbors.
Food Stories combines two very different perspectives on food, Sorry Fugu and Enough. How do you think they complement each other?
Well, they're both about passion and about people who enjoy their appetites for life versus those who don't. They are different in style--Sorry Fugu is frenetic and fun, and T.C. Boyle stuffs the story with exciting, detailed language, while Alice McDermott creates a spare, elegant, and evocative tone poem, a poignant tale of a life well lived.
So it's a really enjoyable combination, I think--you get the sweet and the savory. Also, Fugu is about a very specific time in American culinary history: the mid- to late-1980s, when the food scene we enjoy now was just bursting forth. Enough takes us on a kind of history tour too, from the 1930s into the future--also very American.
Tell us a bit about the Word for Word cookbook you've produced. Did everyone in the company submit recipes, or are they from local chefs?
The cookbook is recipes and the "Food Stories" that go with them, from our Charter Group--the core company members of Word for Word. We've each selected a dish that has a significant memory attached to it. This is a reflection of how we put this show together: Talking about sharing food often results in some kind of "story" or memory. Most of the important moments of our lives have food associated with them in some way, and we wanted to celebrate that.
How does Word for Word partner with local food producers? Read on...!
Is it true that you'll be serving local food before and after performances?
Yes. For a while now we've been having local food vendors sell something hot and savory in the lobby before the show and at intermission. It's great: People can come to the theater, have a tasty bite, enjoy a glass of wine, and relax a little before seeing the show.
Do you see performance artists and food producers as community partners? How do you foster those links?
Absolutely we are partners. Word for Word is part of Z Space, which is a developmental center for new theatre, and we moved into our own theatre about two years ago. We have all been scheming and dreaming about how to connect what we do with our neighbors. We want to offer a complete experience to our patrons, so that from the moment they walk in the door, everything they encounter is beautiful, entertaining, and delicious! So connecting with the food producers in our area is a perfect way to do that.
And I think of food producers as artists as well. They use the same kind of creative energy we do!

Podiatrists help Americans of all ages walk easier. After they complete their graduate school training, annual salaries depend on factors such as licenses and hands-on training experience. If podiatrists work in certain regions of the country and in certain industries, they can also increase their annual pay.
Starting Podiatrist Salaries
Across the United States, podiatrists who gain employment right out of school earned approximately $61,217 a year, according to Health Careers in Michigan. This national average starting salary was paid to podiatrists who worked at federal Veterans Affairs hospitals. Other beginning podiatrists can start earning about $79,100 a year as soon as they graduate. Additionally, podiatrists who open private practices can set their own hourly rates and earn higher wages. However, they generally must pay for their own health, life and retirement insurance policies.
Compared to Other Professions
The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) reports that as of 2008, podiatrists earned some of the highest annual salaries for physicians. For example, podiatrists earned approximately $176,000 a year, while family physicians and general osteopathic physicians earned $160,000 and $156,000 a year respectively. Pharmacists earned $107,000 a year, and physical therapists took home about $55,000 a year. Dentists earned more than podiatrists in 2008; they earned approximately $200,000 a year. However, recently graduated podiatrists had lower amounts of student loan debt than some other physicians; graduating podiatrists had $110,000 in college debt while family physicians and general osteopathic physicians had $140,000 in student loan debt. Pharmacists and physical therapists had $100,000 and $55,000 in debt when they graduated with their degrees. Dentists had debt of $130,000.
Job Outlook
As of 2008, nearly 12,200 podiatrists were working in the United States, according to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. From 2008 through 2018, podiatrists jobs are expected to grow by 9 percent, equal to projections for the job market as a whole. Job prospects for newly graduated podiatrists are expected to remain good as well. New medicines, technologies and older podiatrists retiring should create opportunities for new graduates.
Supporting Podiatrists
Professional organizations like the American Association of Colleges and of Podiatric Medicine and the American Podiatric Medical Association provide networking, career advancement and educational support to newly graduated podiatrists. Experienced podiatrists can also receive support through the organizations. Some states also have local podiatric associations that new graduates can join.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- When it comes to career devotion, is three years the new five? Many experts say "job hopping" -- spending less than a year or two in a position -- isn't quite the resume killer it used to be.
During the Great Recession, many companies were forced to lay off loyal employees who'd devoted 20 or 30 years of their lives to their jobs. Today's workforce saw that happen and realized they have to look out for themselves first. As a result, there's less of an expectation of loyalty all around, says Mary Hobson, executive vice president at recruiting firm EFL Associates.
"We have seen a change in the expectation of the traditional company/employee relationship," Hobson says. "For several years, we had people taking any job they could get, and that reduced the expectation of a longer-term relationship."
Because for several years people were snagging any job that could pay the bills, many began looking for a new, better job more applicable to their skill set almost from the minute they were hired, says Julie Hochheiser Ilkovich, career expert and co-founder of Masthead Media.
"They knew the first day on the job, 'This is not the job for me,' and they started looking," Ilkovich says.
People realized, "No company is going to watch out for me -- I have to watch out for myself," and now, as soon as people are unhappy, they start looking -- they start taking control of their career, she says,
"People have more of an entrepreneurial spirit when it comes to finding a job. They are trying to be successful the best way they can," she says.
Right now, we are at a temporary "new normal" for what employees' resumes may look like, says Chad Oakley, president and COO of Charles Aris, a global executive search firm.
"If you do have shorter stints on your resume, it's more understandable now than it was," Oakley says. "It's accepted today because of the economic turmoil, but in any kind of normalized economy, it's not something recruiters are going to like to see."
Even so, the "rules" for how long one must stay at a job to "prove stability," are evolving, Hobson says. In today's market, three years in a job is considered as stable as five years was pre-Great Recession.

Regarding the Sept. 26 front-page article "50 Taiwanese boats intrude near Senkakus": I do support Japan in this conflict, but this is a major problem as long as China shows such lust for control. A brilliant way to stop this would be a 100-year-long agreement with Taiwan. It would be a needle in the eye of China and would most probably stop China for the moment:
(1) Sign off on a fishing accord for boats flying Taiwanese flags.
(2) Involve Taiwan in the search for oil and natural gas in the area and build up a strong Japanese base on the biggest islet of the Senkakus as fast as possible.
If the government of Taiwan could embrace this agreement, then maybe it would acknowledge Japan's sovereignty over the islands.

Common misspellings of the word plumber are:
How do you spell plumber?. It is not
[Middle English plummer, from Old French plomier, from Latin plumbÄrius, lead worker, from Latin plumbum, lead.]
WORD HISTORY A plumber works with water pipes, once made from lead, with lead solder for the joints. The Romans used lead pipes, and the word plumber comes from the Latin word for lead, plumbum. There is no Latin, or even Indo-European, etymology for plumbum but it bears a distant similarity to the Greek word for lead, the standard form of which, molubdos, gives us the name of another element in the Periodic Table, molybdenum. Two non-standard forms, molibos and especially bolimos, are even more similar to the Latin.

Bouken Shounen (Manga) add (All reviews)
Story: The story is different every chapter. Each segment deals with a different character and each character deals with a different memory from their childhood that still haunts them well into adulthood. The stories are unique and pleasant in their own ways and mange to subtle convey a message. Whether it is the message of forgiveness, or the allure of second chances. The stories were brilliant in their own right and managed to convey the sense of nostalgia and childhood wonderment while still being able to look at these themes from an adult's perspective.
Art: The art for this title was cartoonish at best which became a little annoying at times. The art worked well with the theme of the piece (childhood and the way it affects our lives as adults) but this style managed to place a "friendly face" on the theme, almost like seeing a close friend after a long time a part. The art is nice, but it takes some getting used to and even after that it still can be a distraction.
Character: The strongest aspect of the story. Each of the characters change within their own story. Each of characters are so different in so many aspects, there's a phantom their, and a business man who can't move on, and a group of friends united by a secret tragedy. Still, the theme for each story remains the same, letting go of what has already come to pass. What is amazing is how each of these characters take different roads to reach the same conclusions.
Enjoyment: Loved the stories and characters, the art left a little to be desired but it is easily overlooked.
Childhood is a strange thing. Within the world of childhood we learn that what ever we wish is possible, but as we grow older we forget this. Adventure Boys flirts with the ideals of childhood while still encouraging its readers to move forward, it reminds us all of the days in the summer heat or the times we went to the swimming pool with friends. It forces us to remember, relieve, and to finally move on. read more

Story: Hallucination From the Womb breaks its story down into smaller vignettes. Stories of people and their everyday lives with small changes. The stories are all different in their own ways, dealing with the feelings of love and life in a way that is so real its haunting. What is amazing about each of the stories is the way they are presented. There is no grand battle to save the planet, there is no evil lurking beneath the shadows, it is just people looking for something more than just themselves.
Character: This is where the story truly shines. Each of the characters are given there own unique way of speaking, moving and interacting that is fits them. Their goals are sometimes explained, while other times they are hinted at, forcing the reader to guess at their motives, just like in reality. What is great about the work is that many of the characters are perfectly ruined (just like the city they inhabit) but still manage to carry on with life. In a strange way, its inspiring.
Art: This is where the title falters. Each of the characters (though original in their own right) are each drawn the same way. It was difficult to try and decipher one character from another, and sometimes it was near impossible. The designs of the decaying city were wonderful, clear, crisp and average in a way that spoke with a haunted realness.
Overall: I loved the manga. What it lacked in art it made up for in quality and its ability to capture life at its darkest but still being able to make seem real. Though, this title is not for younger readers, not just for its themes, but also for the depictions of naked girls (Especially in later chapters). Hallucinations From The Womb is a wonderful title that is sure to leave a lingering impression. read more

UN Assembly to Hold Special Emergency Session Wednesday on Middle East
The General Assembly of the United Nations will hold a special emergency session Wednesday on the crisis in the Middle East, spokeswoman Susan Markham said Tuesday.
The session -- which is expected to condemn Israel for excessive use of force against Palestinians -- was called after the UN Security Council turned down a request by Palestinian officials for a meeting on Thursday.
At the time, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Richard Holbrooke, told reporters he would use the US power of veto to defeat any council resolution critical of Israel.
The previous Saturday, October 7, the United States had abstained when the rest of the council voted 14-0 for Resolution 1322, which condemned Israel's "excessive use of force".
Holbrooke said the resolution was "biased and one-sided and unhelpful to the situation."
He later told reporters that "the Security Council has effectively ended, at least temporarily, its potential usefulness in this crisis."
Under a resolution adopted on November 3, 1950, the General Assembly can meet in special emergency session if the Security Council "fails to exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security."
No member state has a veto in the General Assembly.
But, unlike council resolutions, decisions of the General Assembly are not binding upon member states.
Markham, spokeswoman for Assembly President Harri Holkeri of Finland, said the special emergency session was scheduled to begin at 1400 GMT.
The Assembly has held 10 such sessions, most of them on the Middle East.
The 10th was adjourned, but not closed, three times in 1997, 1998 and last year. Wednesday's meeting will be a resumption of that session.
On February 9 last year, the General Assembly adopted by 115 votes to two a resolution calling for a special UN conference in July to examine "persistent violations" by Israel of a Geneva convention.
The United States and Israel voted against, while five states abstained: Australia, Bahamas, Cameroon, Romania and Swaziland.
The conference never took place -- UNITED NATIONS (AFP)

About what happens when I try to install Linux.I do boot from the DVD,with Ubuntu it starts well but when the files are being checked for installation,reaches some point and fails to proceed.
Right now am using Windows XP and when I try to open the DVD to run the setups, just gives me an error message that a certain file can not be read.
I have tried different versions of Ubuntu which have worked for my friends(on DELL and TOSHIBA machines).I don'tthink I have been using the OS that is not genuine.
Just the same to suse.
With Kubuntu,installation was fine but nothing was displayed when I selected it(Kubuntu).Was trying to run a dual boot.
To GrapefruiTgirl,yah its true am from Africa.
Hello there!
Based on the small amount of information that I found about your laptop on the internet, I would think that Linux can be installed on that machine.
It has an Intel Processor, making it an x86 type of architecture. Most if not all Linux distributions have a release for this type of platform. I could not find out a whole lot more about the machine, but there are other LQ members from Africa (where it seems that this model of machine is most common-- please correct me if this laptop is from elsewhere) who may actually have experience with the same type of machine.
You must provide us with more information. What happens when you try to install Linux? By what method are you installing? Are you downloading a Linux and burning a CD or DVD and installing from that?
How does the install fail? Can you give us any error messages, or tell us step by step what procedure you are following to install, so we can try to figure out where the problem lies?
Thank you, and welcome to LQ :)

The "Deny Duplicate Data" feature in the Admin → Security and Privacy → Security and Session Preferences has me puzzled with regards to its usefulness (especially given that it's a defulat setting). In the docs this feature is defined as follows:
The "Deny Duplicate Data" feature prevents a comment from being accepted if an identical one already exists in your database. A malicious person can't submit the same information more than once.
This works exactly as advertised, with one big flaw: it affects all users–-not just the malicious ones. If user 1 and user 2 submit an identical comment (e.g. "+1"), user 2 will get the following error when "Deny Duplicate Data" is enabled (assuming user 2 submitted it after user 1):
Unable to receive your comment at this time.
My Question is, how is this useful / practical in any scenario? More pointedly, what about a typical scenario with non-logged in users posting to a blog? According to both the docs and my understanding of the following function, "Deny Duplicate Data" only checks the comment field and does so against every other comment posted prior to the submission. Here's the function in the Comment module at line 2268:
/** ----------------------------------------
/** Do we allow duplicate data?
/** ----------------------------------------*/
if ($this->EE->config->item('deny_duplicate_data') == 'y')
if ($this->EE->session->userdata['group_id'] != 1)
$this->EE->db->where('comment', $_POST['comment']);
$result = $this->EE->db->count_all_results('comments');
if ($result > 0)
return $this->EE->output->show_user_error('submission', $this->EE->lang->line('cmt_duplicate_comment_warning'));
I'm not sure how (conceptually speaking), but I'm certain this function can be put to better use for catching malicious duplicate comments. Perhaps it could incorporate date (comment_date), IP address (ip_address) and the entry (entry_id). What do you think? Is this feature request worthy?

Tucker is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix who loves everyone he meets, including children, and does well with other respectful dogs. He would also be happy to be his new owner's one and only, too. Tucker is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and looking for a loving home. For more information, visit www.cchumane.org and like them at Facebook.com/Contra Costa Humane Society.
Booth is a sweet, friendly 4-to 5-year-old purebred Siberian husky. At one point, Booth was taken to a vet with the request he be euthanized because he had too many foxtails which had been embedded for too long. A kind and compassionate vet asked his former owners for 24 hours to see if she could save him and reached out to NorSled.
Twenty-four foxtails were removed from Booth, and he is now doing well and his fur is growing back. Someone who can see beyond the bald spots will be very fortunate to gain him as a friend. Booth is a little picky about his canine companions. Visit www.norsled.org.

Thunder Concentrating on What it Can Control
While a win tonight would secure the Thunder a berth in the NBA Finals, that is not where the team's concentration lies. The Thunder knows it is facing a Spurs team that is one of the best in the NBA and is an extremely potent group that won't back down. At Chesapeake Energy Arena tonight, the Thunder will have to be zoned in solely on what it can control to be successful.
"(We're) focused, I think we're in a good place," Brooks said. "We had a great shootaround. We had a good meeting yesterday. Guys are excited about the opportunity tonight. We know what is at stake. We know that San Antonio is going to come in here and play a great game. … We have a great opportunity just to go out and play our game. We've done a good job the last few games and we have to continue that."
Earlier in the series, center Kendrick Perkins used the phrase, "losing yourself in the team" as a way to describe how the Thunder needed to play in order to win. James Harden used the term "family" to explain the bond the players and the coaching staff have with one another, allowing it to get through tough times and stay settled during good ones.
"Everything has to be about the team," Durant said. "Everything has to be with the group. That's something we've done throughout this whole Playoffs and this whole year. It's always been about the team and guys have sacrificed a lot."
"We're just headed out there with a mindset that every possession is important," Durant continued. "That's the type of approach that we need to take. We'll just leave everything out on the floor and see what happens."
The feeling that the Thunder must play hard and focus on every possession for 48 minutes is not a new one, but rather something that has been growing and developing within the Thunder since the team arrived in Oklahoma City. With a roster that has seen some small, but not drastic, changes, the Thunder's continuity has helped breed a sense of responsibility to one another and to the group to control the one thing that a team can dictate on the court -- effort.
"Play hard and play for your teammates," Brooks said. "If you do those two things, we can live with the results."
Whether the ball bounces the right way or into the basket is one thing, and it's something typically outside a player's control each night. However, the dedication to proper execution, the commitment to team defensive values and concepts and the energy and effort with which the team plays is all within the hands of the players on this Thunder squad.
"That's our main focus, concentrating on every possession, how hard we're playing every possession," Durant said. "He (Brooks) always says that the easiest thing to do in basketball is play hard, and the hardest thing to do is play well. If we go out there and play hard, we'll give ourselves a chance."

Donor figures look disapointing as Madrid conference for Iraq approaches
The hope for billion-dollar contributions to the Iraq reconstruction effort is fading rapidly as industrialized nations release preliminary payment figures ahead of the Madrid Donor Conference set for later this month.
Iraq needs some $36 billion for reconstruction for the years 2004 to 2007, according to the findings of by the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) and the World Bank Group with assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The Donor Conference in Madrid on October 23-24, 2003, will seek funding from the donor community to address priority reconstruction and rehabilitation needs, focusing on both urgent and medium-term needs for supporting sustainable development.
The EU has suggested putting up $250 million, Canada has made an offer of $200 million and Japan is expected to offer something in the range of one billion dollars. In the case of the United States, the Bush administration has requested from Congress a $20 billion budget for Iraqi assistance for 2004, reported NY Times.
The assessment estimates the overall stock of reconstruction needs in fourteen priority sectors. In addition, the occupying Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has separately estimated that there are some $20 billion needed in critical sectors not covered by the World Bank/UN assessment, including security and oil.
While the figures in the assessment reflect the best estimates of the likely needs for the immediate and medium-term, the actual disbursement – that is, the expenditure – of funds is much harder to predict, because it depends on the security situation, the capacity of Iraqi institutions to plan and implement projects, and the state of infrastructure and energy services.
Experience by the World Bank in other post-conflict countries shows that constraints to reconstruction are often not due to a lack of funds, but rather to difficulties in developing and implementing time-bound investment programs according to established international procedures. Given the massive size and scope of the reconstruction needs in Iraq, it can be expected that initial disbursement rates will be low while local capacity is built, but will increase rapidly over time as institutions are developed and experience is gained.
In addition, the assessment notes that not all of the identified needs may require external financing. Already in 2004, about one billion dollars of these needs are covered by ongoing contracts under the UN oil-for-food program.
Beyond 2004, it is expected that more of the investments could be covered by Iraqi government oil and tax revenues or private sector financing, diminishing the need for external donor support. This is based on the assumption that, in a stable environment, oil productivity and output will increase with the investment that takes place, general economic recovery will result in increasing direct and indirect tax revenues, and an improved investment climate will result in significant financing from both domestic and international private investors.
Finally, the assessment notes that it is currently not possible to predict offsetting expenditures on principal and interest payments on Iraq's very sizeable external debt. — (menareport.com)

Annex Theatre Presents Noah Duffy in CAUGHT ONE-HANDED, 8/12 - 8/27
Annex Theatre presents Caught One-Handed, the shockingly-true and uncomfortably-hilarious story of growing up in a fundamentalist community with more than a few things going awry.
What do the Old Testament, handbells, and jockstraps all have in common? Noah - a confused kid with sticky fingers. When Noah's parents put him in conversion therapy at eleven years old to "straighten him out," it's all he can do to maintain his sanity while his hormones and the Will of God duke it out. His dad Bob, a youth leader and trustee of Noah's Christian School, apparently has his best interests at heart - until Noah finds out exactly how much interest Bob has been showing in his adolescent friends.
Caught One-Handed gleefully skips through the Kingdom of God, illuminating dark and vicious secrets in the house of the Lord. Lest you think that it's all fire and brimstone, this live-action memoir features enough masterful comedy and splashy dance breaks to keep even non-believers on their toes.
While this solo show tickles plenty of funny bones, it also serves as a catalyst for discussing sexuality, abuse, and denial, as well as the deep wounds and repressed memories that people carry with them from childhood. There will be a talk-back following each performance. Caught One-Handed was developed under the direction of Keira McDonald, and excerpts were featured as part of Spin the Bottle at Annex, CockTales at WET, and SPF Shorts.
Noah Duffy started as a New York-based performer before a national tour led him to Seattle in 2011. Here, he works as a physical actor and dancer (ACT, Village Theatre, Balagan Theatre), company member of the international Seagull Project, and strip-teasin' clown with his interarts gang The Libertinis.
Annex Theatre is a democratic collective of theatre artists dedicated to creating bold new work in an environment of improbability, resourcefulness, and risk. Annex Theatre produces new plays by living playwrights, radical reinterpretations of classic scripts, and ensemble-generated non-linear spectacles. Now in its Capitol Hill venue, Annex originally opened its doors in 1987 in a former dance studio on 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle. Since then the theater has produced hundreds of world and Northwest premieres.
Caught One-Handed performs August 12th-27th on Tuesdays and Wednesday at 8pm. Tickets are $5-$10, and a short talk-back will follow each performance. For tickets and more info, visit www.annextheatre.org.

Scots lend gravitas to East 17's Christmas 1994 ballad, "Stay Another Day"
The members of CHVRCHES have already shown off a talent for unexpected covers, with their version of the Game of Thrones theme song and singer Lauren Mayberry's rendition of Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" (done with her previous band, Blue Sky Archives). Now the Glaswegian trio have recorded another surprise tribute. In a recent set filmed for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, the synth-savvy romantics delivered a rendition of "Stay Another Day," a sappy 1994 single by British boy band East 17. Press the play button above to see CHVRCHES make over East 17's over-the-top love ballad with low-end electronics, tasteful vocals, and Santa hats.

L'Atelier competition is a platform for emerging artists
The South African National Association for the Visual Arts (Sanava) is co-hosting the 32nd Barclays L'Atelier competition in 2017.
The competition aims to empower young, up and coming contemporary visual artists.
"This is a project that would not have been possible without our partners and the artists who have entered. "Compared to previous years, these timelines give artists more time to complete the high-quality submissions the adjudicators are looking for," said Absa art and museum curator, Paul Bayliss.
Last year's winner, Stephen Rosin says; "The lesson [learnt from my experience] is not to give up and not to allow for despondency and disappointment of not coming anywhere".
"As artists, we tend to think if you're not number one you're nothing – it's quite stupid. And I've seen artists who thought they'd won, so everything is going to fall at their feet and it doesn't. It didn't work like that for me."
The competition aims to nurture young talent between the ages of 21 and 35 and serves as a platform for emerging artists to make their mark on the African art scene.
The competition has been instrumental in launching many significant careers in the visual arts arena and will once again feature a string of highly coveted art residency prizes for the top two winners and top three merit award recipients, in addition to a significantly increased cash prize of R300 000.
In 2016, the competition opened to artists in 10 African countries and maintains this footprint in 2017.

"Brood" also means "be in a huff; be silent or sullen"--this definition could fit because hot weather can make one less happy and talkative; this is suggested in the description: "the nights are clear, but suffused with sloth and sullen expectation." "Brooding" also means "sitting on eggs to hatch them by the warmth of the body"--this could be suggested by the descriptions of the heat ripening bananas and bursting jackfruits.
May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month.

Calls of the wild
Durk Stark learned from an early age the way that being in the woods or beside a body of water in the wild can connect a person to the outdoors.
He grew up hunting waterfowl and whitetails in the Alexandria area. It was during these hunts that he developed an appreciation for the rich tradition of hunting in America.
Now from his home in Pepin, Wis., Stark captures the allure of that hunting heritage by making wing-bone turkey calls.
These calls were a favorite of turkey hunters almost 40 years ago. But as wild turkey numbers continued to grow, the growing number of hunters created a demand for new and easy to use calls. Now the box, slate and diaphragm have become the calls of choice for most hunters in search of America's largest game bird.
Ever the purist, though, Stark was not about to conform to modern technology.
"It's a different sound that's in the woods that you can't buy in the store," he said of the wing-bone call. "It's a much sweeter sound. It's also that sense of tradition and being connected to that."
That tradition extends back as far as 6500 BC. In 1940, on an archaic site in Benton County, Tenn., a number of Native American artifacts were unearthed prior to the construction of a dam that formed Kentucky Lake.
Among the discoveries were wing-bone yelpers made from the bones of wild turkeys. Microscopic analysis show they were crafted together in much the same way that call makers do today.
Over his years of hunting, Stark has found that using handcrafted materials has helped him remain connected to this heritage.
He started by making his own cedar arrows and restoring bamboo fly rods. It was not until he moved to Wisconsin in 1992, though, that he was introduced to turkey hunting.
"Growing up in Alexandria, there weren't any turkeys around at that time," Stark said. "Being a new parent, you often are not able to get in the woods as often as you like to. I needed to find things to do in the winter time."
His interest in wing-bone calls was spurred after reading an article on them in Turkey and Turkey Hunting magazine.
After a Thanksgiving meal, Stark collected the wing bones of the turkey, making his first call in 1992.
"I just started doing it for my own personal interest," he said.
But what started as a hobby has grown into a successful business. Stark works full-time as a special education teacher and also home-schools his daughter with his wife.
Through all of this, he finds time to make between 110 and 250 calls a year through his business, Custom Wingbones by Durk.
He, along with many other call makers, is dedicated to preserving a tradition once established by the Native Americans. This is not limited to call making, though. He applies these same principles to the woods, hunting only with a bow.
"The only way I hunt anything is with bow, whether it's turkey, deer, carp or coyote," Stark said. "I love to hunt. If I loved to kill, I'd use a gun. A bow puts me closer in contact with the animal. I have to be a better woodsman and have a cleaner shot."
His art reflects this approach to the sport. Around 90 percent of the calls he makes today are collectors' items, many of which have earned him a number of accolades.
Stark took second place at the Grand National Custom Call Making Contest in the decorative wing bone category this past spring. The calls for the event were later auctioned off for almost $2,000.
In 2006, he took second place at the Minnesota National Wild Turkey Federation convention in the wing-bone category and honorable mention at the Midwest Nationals that same year.
Along with the awards, he was recently commissioned to make a special edition call for Pheasants Forever's 25th anniversary.
"I never would have imagined that my artwork and call making would have ever went down this path," he said. "I am very grateful for other call makers who have given me feedback and guidance as well as a very patient wife and daughter who have also had many interesting things happen in their lives because of my call making business."
Much of his work can be seen at Wild Wings Galleries in Lake City, and those looking to commemorate a special hunt with one of his calls can contact Stark at email@example.com.
"I continue to be very grateful and appreciative of anyone who purchases one of my calls for hunting or the many others who appreciate the artwork and want them for collector pieces," he said.
Calls range from $90 to $200 for a set of calls in a black walnut display box, with each one helping to preserve a tradition too often forgotten.
The Alexandria Echo Press and Red Wing Republican Eagle are Forum Communications Co. newspapers.

I am sure you will agree that in order to have a happy family both you and your spouse should have a happy marriage. On the other hand, if the marriage is simply not working then you will need to take necessary actions to make sure that you try to save your marriage before it is too late. This is where marriage counseling comes in. This is basically a kind of counseling where you and your spouse will have to attend together to talk about the problems that you are having and the counselor will try to talk about the things that made you fall in love with your spouse. There are times when the husband and wife may have to visit the therapist individually. The counselor will try his or her best to mend your marriage.
You must realize that conflict in marriage is not a problem that only you are facing. People from all over the world face this kind of problem and the good news is that it is possible for you to save your marriage before it falls apart. Through marriage counseling, it will be possible for you to see the mistakes that both you and your spouse have made and then you can take necessary actions to change yourself so that you can have a good marital life with your husband or wife. Likewise, your spouse will also make the effort to make the marriage work when he or she attends marriage counseling with you. If you and your spouse have any behavioral problems or emotional disorders, then the counselor will help you correct these problems.

Rudd's bold advance into Burma
Kevin Rudd is nothing if not relentless as his current campaign to replace Julia Gillard reminds us.
Nor is his tendency to get ahead of himself as evidenced by his insistence to colleagues at the beginning of 2005 that he, rather than Kim Beazley, had the support of Labor's New South Wales right to replace the vanquished Mark Latham as opposition leader.
When the truth was revealed, Rudd folded his tents, but kept them ready to set up camp when Beazley's stumbles got too much for Labor's backbench at the end of 2006.
The man who would be prime minister again is rightly proud of his early and outsized role in the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya last year.
It was the step which got the ball rolling in the quest to build international support for foreign intervention to support popular opposition to Moamar Gaddafi, despite opposition in Washington and doubts in Europe.
Mr Rudd is just as pleased with his foresight in visiting the long time pariah state of Burma as early as last June.
That was months before other democracies had accepted that the nascent liberalisation endorsed by Burma's leaders was sufficient to deserve similar reward.
Since then US secretary of state Hillary Clinton and British foreign secretary William Hague are among those to have made the trek to Naypyidaw, Burma's bush capital.
The question is whether Rudd's decision to be an early adopter on Burma will prove prescient, as was the case with Libya, or will he turn out to have been taken for a ride by the Burmese military.
Certainly, the authorities have released opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi from decades of house arrest, released some political prisoners, relaxed media restrictions, legalised trade unionism and taken initial steps towards economic reform.
The Foreign Minister took advice from Ms Suu Kyi before his visit.
She is now apparently confident enough about progress to nominate to run for parliament in forthcoming by-elections and authoritative sources are suggesting she could then join the government.
That would be a remarkable development, given that Ms Suu Kyi was persona non grata for so long in the decades after the military refused to allow her National League for Democracy to take power after winning the last near-to-fair election in Burma back in 1990.
Nevertheless, doubts persist about the motives, actions and intentions of the Burmese generals.
For instance, Mr Rudd is not alone in noting that the Burmese military are still waging war against the ethnic Kachin minority along the border with China.
"We call on the Burmese government to continue efforts to resolve ethnic conflicts peacefully, including in Kachin state, where fighting regrettably continues," he wrote last month.
It is a matter of concern to the United Nations Human Rights Rapporteur for Burma, Tomas Ojea Quintana.
"The situation in Kachin state is critical... I've received reports of human rights abuses, not only from government groups, but also from non-state groups," he told the ABC's Newsline program.
"I don't see that the government is ready to face these problems."
Mr Quintana has just completed his latest visit to Burma, leaving with an appeal about the conduct of April's poll.
In a departure statement, he said the elections must be "truly free, fair, inclusive and transparent".
He noted that the authorities had yet to agree to allow foreign observers to monitor voting and has suggested this is of key importance in determining the credibility of the elections and the seriousness of the reform effort.
Global Mail correspondent Aubrey Belford has just visited Kachin.
"Amid the trenches, the landmines and the tense hum of latent violence [in Kachin] it's hard to feel optimistic about Myanmar's future," he writes.
Belford quotes ANU Burma analyst Nicholas Farrelly, as saying:
"The contradiction the Kachin state throws up, I think, should give us reason to consider whether what we're seeing in the politics of central Burma is all that it might appear to be."
The fact that Burmese president Thein Sein - and former general - has twice demanded the military cease fire in Kachin and been ignored suggests there may be limits both to his authority and the impulse to liberalise.
The truth appears to be that matters Burmese are delicately poised indeed.
Ms Suu Kyi has the ability to determine whether western nations continue to relax sanctions or reimpose them.
That is not to be sneezed at when Burma's generals seem to have decided, whatever else, that economic isolation is well passed its use by date.
On the other hand, the generals still hold hundreds of political prisoners and can still use them as bargaining chips now that the west is looking to the potential benefits of re-engagement with a nation rich in under-exploited strategic mineral wealth.
In the case of Libya, Rudd was on the right side of history.
It's to be hoped the same can be said of his bold advance into Burma.

Rudd has proved to be one of Australia's best foreign ministers.
20 Feb 2012 3:38:32pm
Compared to?
Don't confuse running around the world picking up stamps in his passport with action or achievement!

The article makes it sound like the actions in Libya was the right thing.
The no fly zone was expanded 'a bit', which isnt automatically a bad thing. Wasnt there the case where nato bombed a birthday party of one of Gaddafi's relatives - not that nato targets individuals. And having a no-fly policy meant mean that troops had to be on the group to help direct attacks - but they were mostly special forces.
but the critical issue is that law and order is 'a bit' loose in Libya at the moment with the milita still running around and torturing / killing whoever they dont like. And there isnt a lot of effect in stopping them.
but at least the current goverment is able to sell their oil to the west.
To be fair, at least he tried to make a difference in Libya. the aim of stopping the government from killing its own people was a noble gesture. but it seems like the plan stops at toppling the current goverment, and not what happens to the country afterwards.

It is possible Rudd might have had an original thought but he does have a track record of front running issues - he heard things were going to be proposed in 2007 and he announced them before Howard et al could and claimed the issue as his own. My guess is that that is what happened in Libya.

This is a great piece, stressing the need for caution when dealing with juntas who have just recently found the faith.
The question is why the sudden turn from years of repressive rule in Burma has President Thein Sein seen the light and opened the country to democratic reform?
Burma is the last south Asian country to have pretty much untapped resources.
Clearly military see that the future of Burma is through the development of natural resources and the building of infrastructure to facilitate the opening up of the highlands and other rural areas to development and the foreign revenues which naturally come with it.
Some years back when the CNOOC, the Chinese oil company made a failed bid for SOCAL, the American oil company which has vast leases in South east Asia, I recall seeing a map of SOCAL's oil leases which cover large swathes of the back country in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and by extension it must include Burma.
What it looked like when both Mr. Rudd and US SecStat Hilary Clinton turned up within weeks of each other to praise democracy and glad-hand Aung Sang Suu Yii, it looked a lot like pigs coming to have first dibs at the trough.
Not that there's anything wrong with doing that but it looked mightily disingenuous and Ms. Suu Yii is nobody's fool. We tend to fall in love with Ms. Suu Yii because of decades being under house arrest and the winning the Nobel Peace Prize because she was a prisoner in such a repressive state.
What would have been a better course was to offer to oversee the democratic process so that free and fair elections were held and that the military that make up the general assembly are replaced by representative political parties. Rather than trying to obtain guarantees at having first dibs on the bidding for mineral and oil leases.
It would have been better to ensure Ms. Suu Yii is an elected leader with a country to govern and to get that which is to be offered up from her than the junta. Not only fair but right.
At the moment the state of Burma is that what President Sein gives with his benevolence can also be withdrawn with a snap of the fingers and Mr. Rudd for all his savoir faire can end up looking quite the fool. For someone as vain as our Foreign minister, he needs to be on a better footing when he travels into areas where he knows very little.
20 Feb 2012 4:15:17pm
The problem is that merely isolating the Burmese government until they are "acceptable" won't work and they will regress to they way they were. The trick is finding the balance between legitimising the Burmese government whilst remaining aware that they are still the same at heart. Or in other words, some progress is better than no progress.
If democratic reforms stall then Rudd's visit will have done no harm - I'm sure he didn't waltz into the country with rose-coloured glasses on, thinking that everything has become hunky-dory overnight.
20 Feb 2012 4:26:24pm
At least the more visits she gets the more the govt will do the right thing ie the international spot light.

Kachin rebel groups first took up arms against the democratic government of Burma in 1960, after the then prime minister U Nu -- ostensibly to win votes -- proclaimed Buddhism as the state religion.
Following the military takeover in 1962, strongman General Ne Win returned Burma to a secular state.
The handful of rebels are yet to seize their state capital, Myitkyina. Plus, they are no match for the battle-hardened Kachin troops in the Burma army, which is a national force.
With or without democracy, insurgency by some ethnic groups will continue to dog the country. Such is the terrain.

OK, so the Foreign Minister went to Burma last year.
What has been the impact on Australia's foreign policy of that visit, and of all the hard work that Mr Rudd has no doubt devoted to this issue? What do you mean, nobody asked him?
His whole claim to be PM is based on his foreign policy expertise, and that he's not the dilettante of yesteryear who would not follow through on any one issue. C'mon Jim, get some Asia-Pacific Focus and see is his follow-through has improved.

Kevin Rudd is proving a dynamic Foreign Minister - whatever the alleged leadership tensions at home. Given this - it is disgusting that Labor backbenchers are permitted to describe him, out of the blue, as a "psychopath", just as he is embarking on a round of international meetings.
Do the morons in Caucus not understand that all of this garbage is being reported back to their respective Governments by embassies and consulates here?
Gillard might have deposed a first term PM as a personal power grab (and in retrospect, what else was it) - but she shouldn't go on to trash Australia's Foreign relations and economic interests just to satisfy her personal vindictiveness against her predecessor.
21 Feb 2012 8:30:02am
It is difficult to judge Rudd's achievements as Foreign Minister but he seems to be popular with colleagues and is avoiding embarrassing gaffes. His track record as PM was not impressive and the ALP deposed him and voted for Gillard. Rudd fell on his sword, rather than stand for re-election. It is time to take this nasty personal furphy off the agenda, most of this acrimony has been fuelled and nurtured by the press.

Rudd really has had a fantastic run of achievements as foreign minister at a time when there has been a hell of a lot of change and upheaval in foreign affairs.
We really have been fortunate to have some one so capable in the job at this difficult time.
With the number of incredibly sensitive issues hes dealt with you really would have expected that he should have had at least one major stuff up by now, or at least even a small one.
As is pretty obvious to everyone Rudd has been running around almost completely autonomously in command of Australian foreign policy while paying lip service to communications to the Prime Ministers Office.
Im guessing that the Prime Ministers Office has been providing lots of rope and independence to Rudd principally because out of respect of his ability, and secondly in the hope that he would have some sort of stuff up that would give them leverage over him.
To Gillards supporters terror Rudd quite unreasonably just seems to kick goal after goal after goal.
Without them.
The really worrying thing for Gillards supporters is if Rudd can achieve so well when he operates independently, perhaps Gillards supporters political judgement and lack of support was the real reason for the unravelling of some of Rudds policies and loss of support when he was PM.
I dont think that is a lesson Gillards supporters wish to contemplate.
It sort of makes them feel inadequate.
Gillard has had considerable achievements too, but unfortunately a number of times her best achievements seem to be forced upon her against her intentions and so she has not received much benefit from them in terms of her approval rating. While she certainly does seem a very capable negotiator her methodology and principles are inconsistent and incomprehensible (to me at least).
And then there is the broken promises thing.
Promises and intentions still mean a lot to a lot of people.
I think Rudd should stay as Foreign Minister. Hes doing great, he has the autonomy and he doesnt have put up with much crap from minor jealousies.
Except unless hes asked and the circumstances suit him offcourse.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand your grief and the need to do something to help.
When someone you love and cared about dies by suicide, it is very common to feel guilt. The people left behind feel like they could have changed the situation or done something to make the person better. But when someone is determined to kill themselves, usually there is little that can be done. Even therapists lose people to suicide, and we are supposed to be the ones to prevent that from happening. But it does happen even when you try all you can to stop it.
It is very common when someone decides to kill themselves that their mood lifts and they seem almost happy. It seems to everyone around them that they are doing better and there is no need to worry anymore. It is because the person feels settled with their decision that they stop feeling depressed. And that is a very hard thing to detect, even for professionals.
When your friend sent you the text, there was no way to know what she was going to do. Even if you knew your friend felt depressed, it is not always possible to understand someone else's plans or understand what they intend to do. Even if you decided to talk to her, her phone call may have been a way for her to say goodbye, without you knowing. You talking with her would not have made any difference.
It is very common to feel the need to do something to help. By all means, go over to see your friend's family. Take the bread over. They will appreciate it. Tell them you are sorry and let them talk if they want. There is little more you can do beyond letting them know you are there for them.
You will experience a time of mourning. That is normal. Educate yourself on the stages of mourning and be sure if you feel you cannot work through your feelings, you seek help. Talk to a therapist or your pastor, if you attend church. Faith can help you heal and find comfort.
Here are some resources to help you get started:
Grieving the Death of a Friend by Harold Ivan Smith
Grieving a Suicide: A Loved One's Search for Comfort, Answers & Hope by Albert Y. Hsu
Silent Grief: Living in the Wake of Suicide by Christopher Lukas and Henry M. Seiden
You can find these books on Amazon.com or your local library may have them for you.
I hope this has helped you,Kate

India's Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA) is urging the nation's government to abandon plans for new restrictions on flights by foreign-owned aircraft. The campaign comes as the country's tax authorities are probing 15 Indian companies that they believe have registered corporate aircraft offshore with the intention of avoiding customs duty and taxes.
BAOA is advocating the adoption of clear guidelines on access to Indian airspace and airports for foreign-owned business aircraft. Under current rules, operators face a frustrating maze of bureaucracy resulting in delays and restrictions that negate the case for this mode of transportation.
"Arduous regulatory directives are restrictive for growth. There is no plan or policy, no FBOs or heliports and limited parking and hangar space for general aviation in India," BAOA president Rohit Kapur told AIN. "The myth that business aircraft are toys of the rich for fun and frolic needs to be shattered. Business leaders fly these aircraft to save time, adding to productivity and GDP."
The 39-member association is concerned that if the Indian government presses ahead with planned new restrictions, Indian aircraft might face retaliatory action overseas. There is concern that operating business aircraft into and within India has become so impractical as to discourage inward investment.
"Pain points [in India] start with getting clearances in a timely manner," said Lex den Herder, vice president for government and industry affairs at Universal Weather & Aviation. In his view, India should consider a blanket or multiple operation system to reduce requirements for landing and overflight approvals, improve processing of formalities for customs and immigration and introduce a favorable climate for purchase and operation of business aircraft taxation and regulation.
The cumbersome and time-consuming procedures for buying, importing and operating business aircraft only make the situation worse. It takes three months to get security clearance for qualified pilots and a week or more to get clearance for foreign aircraft to land. In addition, there are arbitrary customs duties, high duties on spares, sales tax on aircraft transactions and high ground handling charges.
"Landing clearance [requests] submitted on a Friday will typically not be approved until 10 or 11 days later," added den Herder. "Clearance Processing severely limits planning and schedule changes in this ever-changing business climate." By comparison, according to Universal, clearances for China and India's neighbor Bangladesh now take only 3 days, while four days are required for Dubai and one day for Saudi Arabia.
A classic example of India's bureaucracy was provided by a flight into India made by executives with U.S. aerospace group Honeywell. Their aircraft had a hydraulic problem in Mumbai and they were unable to complete their planned business trip because it would have taken a week to get clearance to solve the issue. Mechanics flown in from the U.S. to oversee repairs were unable to obtain an airport pass to access the aircraft.
"The overall sense I get is that bureaucracy is clogging things up. From what I gather in the industry, the leadership of many OEMs say it is actually easier to ship something from outside India to India than within," a General Electric customer was quoted as saying in a presentation by Universal at the recently held India-U.S. Aviation Summit in New Delhi. "It just takes too long to get parts and support to the spot where they are needed."
"We try to plan to arrive overhead the airport with excess fuel because you can get one hour holding due to traffic saturation," said a foreign pilot at the same meeting.
"We travel globally all the time and do not experience these types of delays and limitations anywhere else," said den Herder.
Despite setbacks and a climate that is not entirely friendly to foreign investment, business aviation activity in India is growing, driven by a rising class of millionaires. BAOA predicts the Indian business aircraft fleet will grow three-fold over the next eight years, from the current 621 aircraft to almost 1,800 in 2020.
"Passenger growth in commercial aviation is estimated to rise at a compound annual growth rate of 17 percent. India needs to put into place the requisite safety mechanisms, airspace control and monitoring mechanisms, and landing clearance processes at a time when its airspace is already quite crowded. Now is the time to adopt best practices for India," said an aircraft owner under condition of anonymity.

MOST people in Wales are satisfied with schools and just over half said their council services were of a high standard.
These were just some of the findings of the the National Survey for Wales which was published today.
The National Survey for Wales began in January 2012 and involves face-to-face interviews across Wales with more than 14,000 people aged 16 and over.
The survey reveals people's views on the transport, health, and education systems.
The 2013-2014 overall rating for health was 6.2, education 6.3 and transport 5.9, where zero is 'extremely bad' and ten is 'extremely good'.
Health satisfaction fell from 6.4 to 6.2 in the last year with 38 percent of people finding it difficult to make a convenient appointment to see a GP in the last 12 months – a figure which has risen by rise of 33 per cent since 2012.
Despite this 92 percent were satisfied with the care they received from their GP at their last visit.
People were also asked how well they thought the government was doing its job on the scale from 0 (dissatisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied) with the average rating remaining on par with previous year at 5.8.
Meanwhile In education, 92 per cent of parents were satisfied with the primary school their child attended and 85 per cent were satisfied with the secondary school their child attended. Satisfaction for transport was also high with 79 per cent of people feeling safe on public transport after dark.
While for council services overall 57 per cent of people said that their local authority provided high quality services showing a nearly even split.
Welcoming publication of the National Survey Jane Hutt said:
"The National Survey for Wales is an important resource for us as we develop and assess our policies to improve our public services. We want to make sure that people across Wales are satisfied with the public services that are being delivered.
"The results being published today are very encouraging and show people in Wales have a high level of satisfaction with the key public services they access.
"I'm sure local authorities and Local Health Boards will also find these results useful as they plan the services they'll be delivering over the coming year."
The National Survey for Wales, 2013-14 results can be found on the Welsh government website: www.wales.gov.uk/nationalsurvey

Oh, that hair. Remember that hair? And remember that moment when you, and what felt like every other living woman between the ages of eight and 89 decided to go to their hairdressers, clutching a picture of Jennifer Aniston and demand The Rachel?
While we're sure some lucky few actually managed to pull this look off, sadly our naturally curly locks didn't like it, and instead of a cute choppy bob it ended up not unlike to Krusty the Clown's unruly mop (incidentally, never get a fringe when your hair is wavy either).
That aside, 90s TV was the best place for hairstyle inspiration, whether it was backcombing, crimping or just au naturel (Joey Potter, we're looking at you). Take a look below and if you're not desperate to style your barnet like Tiffani Amber Thiessen's circa Saved By The Bell, we suggest you have a word with yourself.
