Lift off for air traffic control
The UK Government has confirmed that it plans to sell off part of the National Air Traffic Control Service (NATS).
The plan, originally announced in June, involves private investors, including NATS employees, taking a 51% stake in the service, with the government retaining a 49% "'golden share".
The government said there would be a period of consultation on the plans which would last until the end of January 1999.
Newspaper reports last month suggested that National Grid planned to offer ú500m for the stake.
However, more recently there has been speculation that the sale was to be shelved because of delays in opening a new air traffic control centre at Swanwick in the south of England.
Unions critical
The plan has been heavily criticised by pilots' and controllers' unions which have warned that it could jeopardise safety.
Opponents of the sale say that errors such as last week's "near miss" over Essex will become more likely once profits have to be made from the service.
To allay public fears, the government launched an inquiry into the safety of UK air traffic control systems, looking at software problems that have delayed the opening of the centre at Swanwick in Hampshire and the pressure controllers are under at the existing centre at West Drayton in Middlesex.

10 players to watch at the 2015 world junior
Pictures from the Canada-Russia and U.S.-Slovakia games held in Ufa, Russia on Dec. 31, 2012.
There are a lot of benefits to having the opportunity to travel to a place like this for an event like the World Junior Championship.
Top Canadian juniors who fizzled
No matter the year, there are individuals who stand out at the world junior hockey championship. While some players will surprise and others will disappoint, we figure there will be some that, for various reasons, will be ones to watch. Here's a glance at some of the players who have the potential to make headlines in Ufa, Russia, starting on Boxing Day.
The World Junior Hockey Championship is a place for many junior players to springboard their NHL careers or raise their pre-draft ranking in the eyes of scouts. Despite it's high profile, the event's top performers don't always turn out to be top players in the NHL.
Team Canada's 2013 roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship has officially been named. Here they are.
It's not often you see tears in hockey, but at the IIHF World Junior Hockey Tournament, emotions were clearly running high.
Sweden comes from behind to win 4-3 in overtime against Russia in World Junior Hockey Championship action at the Scotiabank Saddledome in downtown Calgary.
Slovakia wins 6-4 in World Junior Hockey Championship action against Switzerland at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on December 31, 2011.

In 1991, STRI was instrumental in establishing the Mpala Research Centre, a site for multidisciplinary research and training in Africa , in collaboration with Princeton University , the Kenya Wildlife Service, the National Museums of Kenya , and the Mpala Wildlife Foundation. Located on the Laikipia Plateau in north central Kenya , the Centre provides an ideal setting for research in a variety of disciplines, offering 49,107 acres of savannah and dry woodland, an extensive wildlife community typical of East Africa , and ample housing and laboratory space for 35 researchers and students.
The Mpala Research Centre is perfect for studies ranging from ecology and botany to animal behavior and human-wildlife interactions. Research at Mpala can be conducted by any applicant with an explicitly proposed, approved, and funded project.
Visit www.mpala.org
Mpala Wildlife Foundation
The Mpala Wildlife Foundation operates and manages a modern biodiversity and conservation research centre, a wildlife conservancy, a working cattle ranch, and a variety of community health and outreach programs in Laikipia, Kenya. Laikipia is well known for having the most diverse and second largest wildlife assemblage in Kenya. Mpala covers 48,000 acres of classic African savanna/woodland, accented by spectacular rocky outcroppings and stunning vistas. The boundaries are unfenced, defined only by the catchments of the Ewaso Ny'iro and Ewaso Narok rivers, allowing unfettered access to wildlife. Mpala has a full complement of large predators, with more endangered mammals than any protected area in Kenya, including African wild dogs, and Grevy's zebras. Annually, Mpala experiences the protracted migration of over 6,000 elephants. The bird list currently tops 370 species, and Mpala hosts a diverse assortment of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.
Because Mpala engages in livestock husbandry and strives for sustainable livestock and wildlife management – the Mpala Research Centre has acquired a reputation for providing unparalleled opportunities for research on the conservation and management of wildlife and natural resources in unprotected landscapes. The centre hosts numerous independent researchers and student groups from more than 11 countries annually who explore topics as diverse as the influence of termites on soil nutrients to the effects of cattle on wildlife and plant populations, the ecological requirements of lions, wild dogs, and zebra, and the thorny issues of human-wildlife conflict.

dang... Apples are you listening... you needs to lower the prices for iCloud storages.
As a photographer on the go, I need a lot of storage for pictures. ONE 24MP RAW image can run up to 12mb. For ONE shot. But it's easy to beat the system:
I have a 32 gb SD card, 24gb storage on my tablet, 20gb storage on Nikon Image Space, 40GB from Box, 15 from Google, and 12 from Dropbox. Add it up, it comes to about 130gb. Totally free. It's not even a pain to use it like this, because A) I could never use it all up and B) each service makes it super easy to upload.
I wouldn't mind using Google Drive if I could use symlinks with it like I can with Dropbox or if it worked like SugarSync does.
all I want to know is whether they put a limit on file sizes like Box does. Dropbox, doesn't, but I haven't tried too upload any large files on my Google Drive account.

Updated systemtap packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as the security errata RHSA-2009:0373
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
SystemTap is an instrumentation infrastructure for systems running version 2.6 of the Linux kernel. SystemTap scripts can collect system operations data, greatly simplifying information gathering. Collected data can then assist in performance measuring, functional testing, and performance and function problem diagnosis.
A race condition was discovered in SystemTap that could allow users in the stapusr group to elevate privileges to that of members of the stapdev group (and hence root), bypassing directory confinement restrictions and allowing them to insert arbitrary SystemTap kernel modules. (CVE-2009-0784)
Note: This issue was only exploitable if another SystemTap kernel module was placed in the "systemtap/" module directory for the currently running kernel.
Red Hat would like to thank Erik Sjölund for reporting this issue.
SystemTap users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
systemtap packages that fix various bugs, enhance user-space probing, improve support for debuginfo-less operations and apply several other enhancements are now available.
SystemTap provides an instrumentation infrastructure for systems running the Linux 2.6 kernel. It allows users to write scripts that probe and trace system events for monitoring and profiling purposes. SystemTap's framework allows users to investigate and monitor a wide variety of wide variety of kernel functions, system calls, and other events that occur in both kernel-space and user-space.
With this update, SystemTap is now re-based on upstream version 0.9.7. This applies several enhancements and bug fixes, namely:
- On-file flight recording is now supported. This allows
stapto run in the background and record huge trace log information on the disk, rather than just to memory. (BZ#438737)
- Kernel tracepoints are now supported for probing predefined kernel events without any debuginfo information. Tracepoints incur less overhead than kprobes, and context parameters are available with full type information. For a list of available, supported tracepoints, run the command
stap -L 'kernel.trace("*")'. (BZ#475456 and BZ#498040)
- A SystemTap initscript is now included with this release, and is provided by the package
systemtap-initscript. This initscript allows users to run SystemTap scripts as system services (in flight recorder mode) and control those scripts individually. For more information, refer to
/usr/share/doc/systemtap-initscript-. (BZ#474906 and BZ#481705)
- This update resolves a ref-count problem that prevented uprobes from properly disposing the uprobe_process struct on exec while there are outstanding uretprobe instances. In addition, a bug that caused utrace to incorrectly report events-in-progress to a recently-created engine is now fixed as well. These fixes address several uretprobe bugs that could cause the system to hang in previous releases. (BZ#478711)
- SystemTap log rotation is now supported. With this, a running SystemTap script can switch to a different log file during on-file flight recording without stopping. Users can specify a time or log file size that triggers a log rotation, helping ensure that a SystemTap script never stops recording information. (BZ#481704)
stapprep.shis a script documented in the SystemTap Beginner's Guide, used to determine and download (when able) the kernel information packages needed to run SystemTap. This script is now included by default in the systemtap package as the command
stap-prep. (BZ#485498)
- When
stappassed a kill signal to its children, it was possible for that signal to be sent to all other processes in the same process group. This could include processes other than its children. This was because SystemTap used
system()to manipulate process groups. With this update, SystemTap now uses
stap_system()instead of
system(); this allows
stapto save the process ID of all its children, ensuring that
staponly sends signals to its children. (BZ#494462)
- Probes that used
insnprobe points failed. While the upstream version of SystemTap fully supports the use of
insnprobe points, the kernel and utrace versions used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 did not define the required macros
arch_has_block_step(). With this release, SystemTap defines these macros during compile time whenever
insnprobe points are used. (BZ#498018)
- The
systemtap-testsuitepackage contained test cases (
buildko/two.stp, and
buildok/thirty.stp) that were incorrectly configured as "executable". Any test runs involving these cases failed unexpectedly. This release fixes the permissions for all test cases provided by the
systemtap-testsuitepackage. (BZ#499657)
- The
context.stptapset now contains a definition for the
task_pt_regs()macro, which is required to compile some types of SystemTap scripts on the PowerPC platform. (BZ#499688)
- Compiling any program that used static dynamic trace markers for the
DTRACE_PROBEmacros on the PowerPC platform resulted in an error. This was caused by an incorrect
if/elsestatement in the
sdt.hheadr file, did not define PowePC as required; as such, the
sdt.hheader file supplied an incorrect macro definition for
STAP_NOP. With this update,
sdt.hnow provides the correct macro definition for
STAP_NOPon the PowerPC platform. (BZ#501795)
- A bug in the implementation of kernel return probe trampolines made it possible for some stack tracebacks to go undetected. Whenever this occurred, the stack unwinder would not be executed, resulting in a garbled stack. With this release, the code for detecting the kernel return probe trampoline is now fixed, ensuring that all stack tracebacks are dealt with accordingly. In addition, this release also uses the kernel DWARF unwinder automatically in the event of stack tracebacks. (BZ#503225)
- A bug in
runtime/task_finder.cmade it possible for some processes to hold a semaphore while performing a memory map callback. Whenever this occurred, some tasks would become deadlocked if they were probed by user-space probes. This update fixes the bug, ensuring that memory map callbacks are safe and do not cause deadlocks. (BZ#504007)
SystemTap is no longer a technology preview, and now has production support. Red Hat recommendeds that users run scripts on development machines before deployment in production environments. Since SystemTap is an optional diagnostic tool, users can easily stop using it in the event of a problem. Options such as
-g for Guru mode, and
-D* allow users to disable several security checks. Scripts using these options may not be supported.
Red Hat plans to fix problems in SystemTap, or the Linux kernel, as they arise in connection with new scripts. In some cases, a fix may include extending the blacklist for known areas of the Linux kernel that are unsafe to probe. All scripts that use probes targeting blacklisted areas will need to be revised.
SystemTap users are advised to upgrade to this version.

Urinary Incontinence
More than 13 million people in the United States suffer from urinary incontinence. About half of those affected by this disorder are so embarrassed that they never discuss the problem with a health care professional. This is unfortunate because, in eight out of ten cases, the problem can be relieved.
Urinary incontinence in women is often the result of childbirth, hormonal changes during menopause and the anatomy of the urinary tract. The leading cause in men is an enlarged prostate and/or prostate surgery. In the elderly, incontinence occurs because of changes in the nervous system.
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Stress incontinence - occurs when physical movement or activity causes urine leakage due to pelvic floor weakness. Examples of this may be when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or lift an object.
Urge incontinence - occurs when your bladder is overactive, contracting more frequently and urgently. These inappropriate contractions can stem from reversible causes like a bladder infection, bladder irritability after surgery or poor dietary or behavior habits.
Functional Incontinence – occurs when you are unable to reach the toilet on time due to physical or cognitive problems, or various medications.
Mixed Incontinence - a combination of stress and urge incontinence
Overflow Incontinence - occurs if your bladder is always so full that it continually leaks urine
Causes of Urinary Incontinence:
Are You Incontinent?
The prevention and treatment recommended includes exercises to tone the pelvic and abdominal muscles, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, medications, bladder training, dietary adjustments and/or surgery.
Jupiter Medical Center's Cary Grossman Health & Wellness Center offers licensed clinical therapists who work with you to develop a treatment plan that is right for you. If you suffer from urinary incontinence we can help. Speak with your physician and request a referral to the Urinary Incontinence Program at Jupiter Medical Center.

TEL AVIV (Feb. 12)
"I am leaving for the United States and Canada convinced that the Jews in those countries will meet our present needs," Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, declared here today prior to her boarding a plane which will bring her to New York tomorrow.
Mrs. Meir said she intends to remain a month in the United States during which she will address meetings for the United Jewish Appeal and the Israel bond campaign. She will also speak in a number of cities in Canada. The primary purpose of her visit is to make the Jews of the United States and Canada aware of their responsibilities to give maximum aid for the settlement in Israel of Jews from Rumania who are now arriving in large numbers.
Meanwhile, plans were made here today to divert immigrant medical students to related fields because of the saturation of the medical profession in the country. The plans were approved at a joint meeting of Israel health and education officials and experts on the absorption of professionals, held at the Hebrew University. It was reported at the meeting that students arriving from Rumania have brought information that large numbers of Jews are enrolled in medical schools in Rumanian universities and that the numbers of such students in the present immigration to Israel undoubtedly will increase.
Concern was expressed at today's meeting of the future of students currently enrolled in medical schools in Israel and some 350 Israelis studying medicine abroad. Participants at the meeting agreed that the careers and prospects of immigrant students would be jeopardized unless they were diverted to fields with brighter outlook such as geologists, nurses, X-ray laboratory assistants and other related spheres.

To curb abusive patent litigation practices, Rao encouraged Congress to enact rules more accurately directing judges to impose fees on opportunistic parties to litigation. "Strengthening Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure also would help. It imposes an affirmative duty on plaintiffs not to file a suit aimed at harassing or imposing undue costs on a defendant — and it empowers judges to impose substantial sanctions if the rule is violated."Noting that patent litigation abuse has intensely focused on software, Rao also stressed the importance of software patents to the economy and affirmed the widely held industry belief that software is deserving of patent protection. "The software industry is now a critical sector of our economy, contributing more than $400 billion to our nation's gross domestic product, employing more than 2 million U.S. workers, and paying salaries that are roughly 200 percent of the national average," Rao said.

Questions about hosting
Anica posted a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsHi there, I bought a while before all for an self hosting package.... ip.board, gallery, content, nexus, blogs, downloads. So far all works fine whenever I never used nexus yet, but I don't have the .... hmm.. pleasure for the updates... I'm thinking about an hosting package for $20 or $30 /month sience some weeks, but I have some questions before thinking deeper about a change. I have read a lot of posts here today but found not all answers. If there an answer in a thread I have not fount, please let me know.. my questions: if I take the $20 package because I don't really need nexus at moment, but one day... I can say I want the $30? It works without having reached the other limits then, too? With the hosted version all is installed "ready to go" without an upload from me? on the german site I read some time before with nexus I need... zend?. Does I need it in the hosted version, too or is this then included? with the $30 package.... get I ssl? I don't really know many about this, but I think with a shop I need this for secure (if I need one, then only with paypal) I habe somewhere else webspace and a domain. I can upload there and link things in, thats good. Videos I upload on YouTube are hosted there and I have no Webspace to use from here, that's good, too. I read about having a domain and buing a hosted version, but I don't really understand this... can me stupid human someone tell a bit of a other way (I'm not the best writer in english, sorry!!) It is only Webspace, not my own server so I think I can't do any changes in Admin A or something like that. That's ok! What I wan't to know because I want my "own" Domain: If I buy a package for hosting, have I to activate "free domain" , write in a name, search a domain (as example invisionzone.com) so it is more a subdomain, and after buying I have to write to the support that I want a www.xyz.de - Domain? You register then one for me? Or is there another place where I can first purchase the Domain? On my self hosted version I have installed some AddOns.... Can I download the language-file and upload it onto the hosted version without using all these AddOns or is this way bad for the installation? Uninstall before where the better way? I love the way of using the marketplace like here on invisionpower. I had a look into nexus because it is already installed. But I don't really understand the way to upload my files to show them as "free". Have I upload these things then to nexus and not into downloads or didn't I always saw a setting for this (want to make it right with the first upload next time then in the hosted version)? Did I pay every month via paypal to invisionpower or can invisionpower get the money as a permanent contract? Get I any notice about paying some days before ( I read that we can pay for a year) or after wich days is my community off? At last... What I do with the things I have already bought? Can I use the licence-number from there or I have then a new one?

Earlier this week we learned Delaware has spent $4 million to enroll four people in Obamacare. That was nothing. New numbers from four different healthcare providers show Washington D.C. has spent $133,573,928 to enroll a grand total of five people in Obamacare. That's $26,714,785.60 per Obamacare enrollee.
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield: two enrollees from Oct. 1, 2013, through Oct. 30, 2013.
Kaiser Permanente: three enrollees from Oct. 1, 2013, through Oct. 31, 2013.
UnitedHealthcare: no enrollment data from the exchange as of Nov. 4, 2013.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelies said in Congressional testimony earlier this week official Obamacare enrollment numbers will be released next week and that the administration expects the numbers to be "very low." Up until now, the administration has refused to discuss exactly how many people have enrolled.

What To Expect
At Community Church you can expect:
• Messages that apply to your everyday life. God's truth is real, and it's for you – today. Watch a message or two online to get an idea of the topics we teach on, and our pastors' teaching style
• A celebration! We believe church should be more like a wedding than a funeral. We have live music, moving lights, videos…overall we are pretty upbeat
• A casual atmosphere. You will see people in jeans and others in suits. Wear whatever you are comfortable in.
• Volunteers to welcome you and answer any questions you have
• World-class kids' services. Your kids will enjoy their service while you enjoy yours. We also have weekly programs for students in middle school and high school.
Stepping into an unfamiliar church for the first time can be a little intimidating and maybe even uncomfortable for some. At Community Church you can expect to feel welcomed and accepted. We are a large, multi-generational and dynamic church, but we've gone to great lengths to help people get connected and make our church feel smaller.
Whoever you are, we believe you will walk away from one of our weekend services inspired and ready for the coming week. We whole-heartedly believe that the local church is the hope of our community and the world, and it is something that we get to be a part of every week.

With NTSB officials acknowledging that control locks are one area of focus in their investigation of the May 31 crash of a Gulfstream IV at Bedford-Hanscom Field Airport near Boston, several active GIV pilots have shared their own standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the equipment with AIN.
On June 13, Gulfstream issued a maintenance and operations letter to GIV operators reminding pilots of the importance of following airplane flight manual (AFM) procedures. "Flight crews are reminded to perform the following as set forth in the applicable AFM procedures for each model aircraft: ensure the gust lock is OFF prior to starting engines (not applicable for G650); check flight controls for freedom and correct movement prior to taxi/takeoff; [and] confirm the elevators are free during the takeoff roll," said the letter from the manufacturer, which is not responding to media questions about the accident pending the NTSB investigation.
One GIV pilot based in Asia told AIN, "Our SOPs [also] say do not start engines with the control lock on." While the engines can be cranked with the locks in place, this same pilot warned that if the engines were started that way, the safest next step would be to shut both engines down and begin again. He did not recommend attempting to disconnect the control lock once the engines are turning. When questioned about the possibility of accidentally engaging the locks, the pilot said, "Engaging the control lock is not a casual maneuver. It takes effort."

Be Different: Adventures of a Free-Range Aspergian with Practical Advice for Aspergians, Misfits, Families & Teachers (Compact Disc)
Adventures of a Free-Range Aspergian with Practical Advice for Aspergians, Misfits, Families & Teachers
Random House Audio Publishing Group, 9780307881311
Publication Date: March 22, 2011
With his usual honesty, dry wit, and unapologetic eccentricity, John Robison argues that Asperger's is about difference, not disability. In this book he offers stories from his own life and from the lives of other Aspergians to give the reader a window into the Aspergian mind. Equally important, he offers practical advice to Aspergians, their parents, and educators on how Aspergians can improve the weak communication and social skills that keep them from taking full advantage of, or even recognizing, their often remarkable gifts.

'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland' Recap: 'Bad Blood'
Alice and Jafar worked through some major daddy issues on this week's episode of 'Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.' 'Bad Blood' picked up right where the last episode left off, with Jafar kidnapping Alice's father and Alice still trying to reach Jafar's castle to save Cyrus. Little did Alice know that Cyrus had already escaped Jafar's castle, but more on that later. First, let's talk about Jafar's latest evil scheme.

Energy-Efficient Cooperative Image Transmission Over Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, the authors propose an energy efficient image transmission strategy for wireless sensor networks, which combines wavelet-based image decomposition and cooperative communication. In the proposed scheme, they use Selective Decode-and-Forward (SDF) cooperation, so that a relay node collaborates with the source by forwarding only a lower-resolution version of the original image, obtained via Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). They show that the proposed SDF-DWT strategy is more energy efficient than non-cooperative single-hop and multi-hop, also outperforming the regular SDF scheme.

X Factor star Cheryl Cole is reportedly about to meet up with her estranged husband Ashley Cole, the Chelsea footballer. Their marriage split because Ashley cheated on her. But word has it that there is a possibility he could charm her into giving him a second chance.
If he succeeds, how can Cheryl be sure Ashley won't cheat on her yet again?
One way to avoid this is to use an old voodoo conjure remedy – a Penis Jinxer spell. It renders a man unable to get aroused with anyone else but you. This would be ideal for Cheryl Cole if she takes Ashley back. It would put her mind at rest.
Apparently Ashley has been texting Cheryl, begging her for a second chance. According to Cheryl's friends, Ashley knows how to switch on the charm and could well succeed in persuading her to give the marriage another go.
Anyway, if Cheryl does take Ashley back, she needs to cast the voodoo Penis Jinxer spell so she can be sure of Ashley's fidelity. The spell involves collecting together a blue penis candle, Ju Ju oil, a voodoo doll and taking public hairs (surreptitiously) from Ashley Cole. After setting up a simple altar with a couple of candles, Cheryl would take Ashley's pubic hairs and glue them to the crotch region of the voodoo doll.
Using a new nail, she'd write Ashley's name on the blue penis candle. Then would place the base of the penis candle between the legs of the voodoo doll, so it looks as if it is the doll's erect penis.
After rubbing Ju Ju oil on the penis candle, stroking downwards, she'd repeat the following charm seven times:
"Penis candle, oh penis candle,
as I stroke you with these oils,
Keep Ashley's nature from rising
for anyone but me."
Cheryl would light the candle and let it burn down by half-an-inch each day. Once it has burned out, Ashley would be physically unable to stray again.

Parental loans are a last resort--and maybe not even that.
Given the flagging job prospects for new college grads, as well as the soaring higher-education costs, it's only natural that families are paying attention to the payoff potential of various schools and degrees. Unless money is no object, it just doesn't add up to pay $50,000 a year for college for a child who ultimately wants to pursue a low-paying career path. That helps explain the trend of high school graduates spending two years at lower-cost community colleges before transferring to four-year colleges to earn their degrees.
That more families are conducting a cost-benefit analysis of college is long overdue, and it could help to put some downward pressure on skyrocketing tuition rates. At the same time, few can dispute the value of a college degree. The economic downturn has put downward pressure on salaries, but even recent data point to college grads earning about $600,000 more over their lifetimes than those who graduated from high school only. Given that differential, it's no wonder that sending kids to school is a key priority in so many families.
But by multitasking as so many parents do--saving for college and their own retirement at the same time--they run the risk of coming up light on the retirement front with no way to make up for the shortfall, except for working longer. The old saying about this topic is dead-on: A child can get a loan to pay for his or her college education, but no one will give the parents a loan to pay for retirement if it turns out they haven't saved enough. Given increasing rates of longevity, rising health-care costs, and what many expect will be only so-so returns from the stock and bond markets in the decades ahead, can anyone ever really be sure they'll have enough money on which to retire?
Parents can undermine their retirements in favor of college in several different ways. The most benign is to steer a disproportionate share of their savings to college that they should have earmarked for their retirement accounts instead. Pulling money from 401(k)s and IRAs is an even more direct way of giving short shrift to retirement.
Yet one method of paying for school stands out as especially unhealthy: parental loans. With college costs rising and other sources of college funding, such as investment accounts and home equity, at a low ebb, it's easy to see why the loans have jumped in popularity. Many parents probably reckon that if their kids are also taking out loans, a parental loan is a way to share the burden, or to make up the difference if student loans, scholarship, and financial aid fall short. Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students, or PLUS, have generous limits, allowing parents to borrow enough to pay for any college costs not covered by the student's financial aid package. The interest rate on Parent PLUS loans, at 7.9%, also beats the rates available on many private student loans; it's also lower than the previous rate of 8.5% that was available for parent loans under the Federal Family Education Loan program.
And at first blush, taking out a loan to pay for your child's college costs might seem less taboo than raiding your own retirement account or tapping home equity. But it's next to impossible to think of a situation when a parental loan will trump other alternatives. And if a parent loan is the only option left, it's probably wise to investigate a more affordable college plan.
Here are some of the key reasons why parents should be practically allergic to taking out loans to pay for school.
Federal Student Loans Are Cheaper
Although many parents are rightfully unhappy with the idea of hobbling their children with debt, families who can demonstrate financial need and qualify for a subsidized Stafford or Perkins loan will almost always be better off going that route than opting for a Parent PLUS loan.

'Jersey Shore' Finale Recap: The End Is Nigh
As four very wise gentlemen once said, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. But it's not that hard really. You just have to wave your hand, remember where you went, and try to do a better job placing your foot next time. That's how we're moving away from the donkey turd that is Jersey Shore, the most important sociological experiment of our time. Yes, sociology is something you're supposed to learn from and now that we have processed the lives and maturing process of the North American Guidous Americanus, we should know how to avoid getting mired in this reality swamp once again (or at least until Buck Wild premieres in two weeks).
As long as we're learning from the guidos, let us look at our last glossary entry so we know just what they hell they are talking about.
Gooey Vuitton: The act of shitting in a woman's purse. It is not that often one has an opportunity to soil a pocketbook, but it is one of only two ways to break an ancient curse. The other is peeing on a woman's car.
Yes, that is correct, we are talking about the ultimate prank that Paula pulled on The Situation and the rest of our little clan of guidos. For those of you just joining us (and, if you are, then you are an idiot because this show really went downhill after Season 3, so why you're just watching the finale is about as dumb as having an AA meeting at Karma) the organizing philosophy of guido life is a complicated set of tenets known as Guy Code and Girl Code, which only allows for men to associate with men and women to associate with women, with the one exception of being those who are interested in engaging in an act of sexual congress or who have started a long-running monogamous relationship. According to these rules, Paula, The Situation's wronged ex, is not allowed to talk to him.
But there is one other way that men and women can settle their scores: pranks. These are pseudo-comical stunts that one gender pulls on the other to settle some grievance. Once a successful prank is pulled the grievance is forgotten, but another prank can be pulled for retribution. This is the sort of tit-for-tat that we saw last night when DJ Paulie D and Vinny tried to move Sammi's bed and popped it, they were getting her back for locking them out on the porch one night. Anyway, more on that later, we need to get back to Paula for the ultimate prank ever.
Paula is one of the high priestesses at the guido temple in the tanning salon and she has been communicating with The Situation by leaving him notes when he comes tanning. Then, one day, when JWOWW and Sammi come in, her coworkers give them two cakes to take to The Situation along with a birthday card. They take the cakes home, everyone eats the cake and sprays crumbs all over their decimated carpet while laughing at how Paula is obsessed with The Situation. The next time everyone goes into the tanning salon, another of Paula's fellow priestesses says, "Did you guys eat those cakes?" And Sammi and Ronnie say, "We didn't but The Situation and some others did." The priestess tells them that's too bad because some guy put his balls all over the cake. She then shows them a picture of this man's nuts in the frosting to prove it to them. Sammi and Ronnie tell the rest of the crew this news and it sends a terror through the house.
Now, while this isn't necessarily unsanitary (well, it kind of is) it is an ancient curse that has plagued the guido race for generations. The problem with Guy Code and Girl Code is that it sets up not only a competition between the genders but also one within the genders. The Situation is the alpha dog of the house, setting the schedule and tone for their activities. However, now he has been decimated by this prank, his masculine power has been sapped. Why? Because the essence of another man has been placed on his food and he has ingested it. His genitals are no longer his own, they are owned by another man. And not just another man, but a man did this at a woman's urging so this means that another woman really has the upper hand over The Situation. This is why he can't beat Jionni at football. This is why he can't get laid. This is why his largest source of income is now over. It's the ball cake.
The Situation, knowing that he has been cursed and the only way to assert his dominance is to either shit in Paula's handbag or piss on his car, he still calls her to verify that she did put balls on his cake. She pretends like she can't hear him and he is enraged. He is so enraged that he throws the Duck Phone, the guido's household god, into the wall and then steps on it, crushing it into a little pile of plastic and circuits. But no one hears the hissing, the electrical hum of its spirit being loosed from its body. The great vengeance of the Duck Phone has been unleashed and it will take down those that disparage it, those that sully its human form. It floats up above the house, over the shore, getting larger and larger as it dissipates into the air and forms itself into a cloud of anger, a dark rolling thunderhead that will one day come back to unleash its mighty fury at the desecration that has been performed on this day.
This all started because of a prank, as did the final fight between Sam and Ron that we will ever see. Ronnie is pissed that his inflatable bed was popped. Now, I'm sorry, I have spent the better part of three years dedicated to the study of guidos and I have no idea why they would want to sleep on a glorified air mattress. Maybe it's to seem like they're camping all the time? Maybe it's because no house ever feels like a home? Maybe it's because they feel the most comfortable when it seems like they're crashing on someone's floor. Who knows? Anyway, even though Vinny popped it, he blames Sam because they never would have pranked her if she never pranked them. She doesn't apologize and he doesn't talk to her for an entire day and finally she is like, "What is your problem?" and they sit out on the porch and he threatens to break up with her and it's the same old Love Ballad of Sammi and Ron-Ron all over again.
But then something happens. Something different and strange. Once the pressure has been released Ronnie goes into their room and, right there next to the bad, sagging like a 60-year-old in a bikini, he apologizes. And she apologizes. They kiss and make up and say they love each other and it's over. They're back together. No more drama. Have these two grown up? Are they finally in a mature and equal relationship? It seems like they are. It seems like they will move in together, as they plan to and all of their parents agree is a bad idea. It seems like they'll get married and have some kids and maybe use their money to open a small store and people will come in to see them and year by year, little by little, the people who visit just to see Ron and Sam from that old TV show will slow to a trickle. But they'll have their store and their nest egg and their children and their annual blow up that releases all that pent up aggression they have for each other. It seems like they'll have that forever, or at least until Ronnie cheats and Sam files for divorce and remarries some boring guy who does everything she says. It seems like one of these things will happen. It seems like they have finally discovered the meaning of "done."
In the wake of the Great Duck Phone Massacre of 2012 and Sam and Ron's final fight, there was not much else to report from this final dispatch. There was a bonfire on the beach and everyone invited their friends and family. Know who was missing? Ryder! What happened to Snooki's best friend? Is she out of the picture? I always loved her. That happened and it started off a wave of nostalgia among the roommates that carried them through their final day together. They sat on the roof and read their lines off of cue cards and hit all the talking points they were supposed to discuss, reliving the highlights, starting with the "Snooki punch," which they now refer to in the popular vernacular, talking about it not as a personal experience but a national phenomenon. The media has taken over their discussions even of their own lives.
The next morning they all gather for breakfast and then pack up their belongings for the last time. I was hoping that they would leave one at a time, as is customary, leaving a pregnant Snooki alone in the house to show the transformation that the crew has really undergone, but they did not. They all gathered in the street out front to shed a tear and pretend like there weren't throngs of people watching them film their final scene. JWOWW cries and says that her life is now perfect because of this house. She looks back at it and she is right. It isn't a house, it is a two-story lottery ticket. Yes, her life is perfect. She is rich and famous for doing nothing but impressing some casting directors and being her drunk, aggressive, wonderfully disastrous self. That is the American dream right there, that individuality can somehow be commodified and drag the poor out from their humble circumstances and catapult them to the top strata of society. That is the real promise of the reality age, that if we can just genuinely be ourselves we will be rewarded – if not accepted – for it.
They all stand there and cry and talk about how their lives have changed and there is a minute where they all just stare up at the house, looming over them, their eyes blinking in the sun as its shadow tilts imperceptibly a degree to the south. That is when Snooki feels it. A rumble in her belly. It feels maybe like gas or maybe it's baby Lorenzo. She feels him spin around and she gets light in the head and she sees something, not with her eyes but with her mind. It's as if a spirit is trying to tell her something. She looks at the house, not as it is now, but as it is in the future. She sees it standing alone on a pile of sand. There is sand everywhere and all the other houses are destroyed. Their roofs are ripped off and their walls moldy with flood waters. She sees the boardwalk ripped down by some brute force. The Shore Store is gone as is Beachcomber and Aztec. Everywhere she spent her youth is gone. The Ferris wheel they all enjoyed has toppled and the roller coaster that she screamed on so many times as she clutched her stuffed animals is sunk under the ocean, barnacles clinging to its smooth white posts.
They all sit there thinking about how much they have all changed, but everything around them has changed. The world has changed and Snooki sees that it will change some more. That this place will never be the same again. It won't even exist. It isn't that hard to say goodbye to yesterday, but greeting tomorrow will leave you a blubbering mess. It will ruin you. The future, with its tentacles of uncertainty, will strangle you right where you stand. Snooki feels something closing around her throat and she raises her manicured hand and rests it on the top of her bosom. "You guys," she says, stifling something back. She wants to tell them, she wants to tell them all what is coming, about their future, about the storm that they can't even see forming as little wisps of vapor thousands of miles away. But as she opens her mouth to tell them a loud belch comes out instead. Everyone laughs and heads for their cars. That Snooki will never change, they say. She will always be the same. She knows that isn't true, but she doesn't say anything. It must have been gas all along.

COTSWOLD District Council has already had a healthy response from communities who have applied for funding to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
Earlier this year, the Cabinet agreed to provide each councillor with a one-off allocation of £500 to fund commemorations in their wards.
Latest figures show that grants worth a combined total of about £10,000 have either already been made or are in the pipeline.
So far, members have supported activities which include free commemorative books and mugs for schoolchildren, cleaning and repair of war memorials, printing and mounting of photographs and other display information for exhibitions and memorial benches and plaques.
Councillor Lynden Stowe, Leader of the Council, said: "It's good to see so many communities across the District coming forward and asking their Ward Members for financial help to support plans for commemorations – sometimes the sums required have been relatively small, while on other occasions Members have given their whole £500 allocation to one project.
"WW1 actually began on 28 July and interest is increasing across the country as that centenary date approaches.
"It may still not be too late for some communities to obtain financial support if they are planning a commemoration.
"Some councillors have spent their allocation but others still have money available. I would recommend that people check with their Ward Councillor to see if there is any funding on offer."

Family of Red Arrows pilot 'find it difficult' to understand why opportunities to prevent tragedy were missed
In a statement, the father of Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham says his son died doing what he loved, adding that the family are struggling to accept how many opportunities were missed which could have prevented his death.
Flight Lieutenant Cunningham's father Jim Cunningham said:
"Our son Sean died aged 35 doing what he loved which was flying with the Red Arrows. From the age of 17, he had wanted nothing more than to join the Royal Air Force and serve his country, which he did with utmost pride and sense of duty.
"He served a number of tours in Iraq flying Tornados in close air support of coalition forces. Sean's death was a tragedy which we hope the evidence revealed in this Inquest, will help to avoid in the future.
"We still find it difficult to accept that so many people could have missed, between Sean's last sortie on Friday and the following Tuesday, what should have been obvious to those having a duty to ensure the safety of the seat, and we remain unconvinced as to that aspect of the Coroner's finding.
"Nevertheless, we accept that how the seat firing handle came to be in a position where it could be inadvertently activated may never be fully understood.
"We welcome the conclusions of the Coroner which confirm what we knew all along, which is that Sean was blameless and his tragic death was preventable.
"We therefore welcome the Coroner's recommendations, which we hope and pray will ensure that no family such as ours, has to endure such a pointless and avoidable death."
Manufacturer of Red Arrows' ejector seat says 'lessons have been learned'
The manufacturer of the ejector seat says it has learned lessons after the death of a Red Arrows pilot who died after being accidentally ejected from his Hawk T1.
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham was killed at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire in November 2011. He did not separate from the ejector seat and his parachute did not deploy because a shackle had jammed.
Martin-Baker says it has 'taken steps to alert all [of its] customers worldwide who use this type of seat of the risk of over tightening the shackle'.
We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Flight Lieutenant Cunningham's family and friends. Martin-Baker is a family owned company producing vital equipment for people doing a dangerous and important job. We take our responsibilities to these individuals very seriously and we are all deeply saddened by this terrible accident.
The ejection seat is qualified to save a life on a ground level ejection. On this occasion, uniquely in the entire history of Martin-Baker ejection seats using this particular feature, it failed due to a shackle bolt being too tight. This prevented the main parachute from deploying.
Lessons have been learned and we have taken steps to alert all our customers worldwide who still use this type of seat, of the risk of over tightening the shackle.
Furthermore, our designers, working closely with military experts have developed a new type of shackle bolt and firing handle housing, which both Martin-Baker and the military authorities consider will prevent the reoccurrence of the circumstances that led to this tragic accident.
Martin-Baker is proud to be able to say that, since 1946, it has led the world in the design development and manufacture of ejection seats. As of today's date, these seats have saved 7436 lives, seven in this month alone.

There is no rule to the amount of computers that are connected, but the more computers you attach to one broadband connection and the more activities you run at the same time, it's more likely that your connection is going to slow down.
Things to consider to get the best performance:
- The speed of your broadband line. This will depend upon the service you have purchased. The line speed will vary depending on number of factors such as distance from your exchange, line quality, usage on the network.
The activities you are running. Data hungry applications might take up a lot of bandwidth, example:
- VoIP (making phone calls over the internet),
- large files transfer
- video conferencing
- Peer to peer traffic
- The capacity of the router if you are using an old model.
Want to know more? See below for answers to our most common problems.
- How do I test my connection speed?
- How does distance from the exchange affect me?
- My connection is slow, what can I do?

Blair 'tightens' Zimbabwe arms sales
UK policy on arms sales to Zimbabwe has been tightened, according to Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The announcement follows widespread criticism of the government's decision to allow the export of spare parts for Hawk jets which have been used by Zimbabwe in the war in the Congo.
The "tightening" of the regulations affects the whole of central Africa, with six nations being covered.
But the original decision to sell the Hawk parts, which caused disquiet within the cabinet itself, will not be revoked.
In a parliamentary written answer, Mr Blair said: "We will not grant export licences for new military dual-use equipment where there is a clear risk that it would be used in the DRC.
"We will continue to implement rigorously our national criteria and the EU code of conduct for all applications for Standard Individual Export Licences, examining each on a case-by-case basis.
"This will include applications to provide spares for UK equipment already supplied under pre-existing contracts. In reaching decisions on such individual applications, we will take into account the wider implications of forcing UK companies to break existing obligations."
EU code already broken
Exactly what equipment will be covered by the move has not been made clear by the government.
Responding to Mr Blair's answer for the Liberal Democrats, foreign affairs spokeswoman Jenny Tonge told BBC News Online she welcomed the move.
But she added, that the decision had come "too late".
"The government granting of licences to Zimbabwe in the first place went against the EU code of conduct on arms sales which it has signed up to."

The award-winning actor and director, sources said, was summoned to elicit information about the media and communications operations of the scam-hit group headed by Sudipta Sen.
"We would be recording her statement under the provisions of money laundering laws. Sen has been associated with the group through a magazine that was published earlier," they said.
She arrived at the ED office in Salt Lake area here at 11 AM, they said.
The ED, which is probing the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), is also expected to confront Sen with some documents they seized during the investigation earlier.
The agency is also expected to question a senior minister of the West Bengal government in this regard today or tomorrow.

Growing conditions determine fiber digestibility, and the right combination of weather conditions make for an optimum silage crop, say experts at Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business. While temperatures and moisture levels over the course of the growing season will set the stage, you can actively take steps to preserve silage quality once the silage is harvested through good management, resulting in better feeding material for your livestock.
Heat, temperature and light are key factors in determining fiber digestibility. In 2010, much of the U.S. saw higher temperatures with low-to-average rainfall. This combination was optimum for neutral detergent fiber (NDF). Cool and wet conditions lower NDF digestibility.
"Many corn producers struggled with getting crops in the ground this year due to wet weather conditions," says Kevin Putnam, Pioneer dairy specialist. "No matter the conditions, good bunker management along with preserving forages on both the front- and back-end of fermentation is key to boosting the bottom line."
Quality preservation techniques
Many factors play into nutritive losses — mainly improper harvest techniques and overall bunker management (ensiling and feedout). Harvest techniques, like crop maturity, dry matter and chop length, have profound effects on packing density and fermentation.
Knowing individual field conditions and hybrid maturities helps you pick the appropriate harvest date. Experts recommend walking fields to examine crop maturity levels as harvest nears, helping determine if crops are on target for the expected harvest date. Under normal conditions, the tasseling date can serve as another way to check harvest timing.
Harvest is typically six to 10 days away when the crop is about 3 to 5 percent wetter than optimal. Outside factors such as weather and field location can affect the rate of maturity and ideal moisture levels for harvesting forage. Additional harvest timing and chopping tips can be found in the Pioneer nutritional sciences library .
From there, all factors for preserving quality depend on keeping oxygen out of the forage mass. This is done in three ways, through packing density, covering the bunk/pile and practicing proper feedout management, like defacers.
"As a general rule of thumb, experts suggest producers strive for an average packing density of 15 pounds of dry matter per cubic foot or better," Putnam says.
He recommends you get that number closer to 17 dry matter pounds if possible to improve efficiencies.
"By increasing dry matter density by another 2 pounds, producers potentially save another 1.5 percent dry matter from oxygen penetration," Putnam adds. "Dry matter loss is not fiber; it's carbohydrates like sugar, so figuring the cost of the loss requires a producer to calculate the cost of replacing that 1.5 percent with an energy source such as cornmeal."
Make sure you follow proper packing guidelines. He says layers spread 6 inches or less across the bunk is optimum. He also suggests using the rule of 800 when packing.
To do that, multiply the number of tons coming in each hour by 800. That represents the total pounds of tractor-weight for packing. "If you're bringing in 100 tons per hour, that means using 80,000 pounds of tractor for packing per hour."
After filling silos, invest in plastic to cover the forage. You can secure the cover with a weight system. Some producers use tires to secure plastic covers. Other technologies are available for weighting and covering bunkers, such as gravel bags and oxygen barrier liners.
You can use plastic to line bunkers, reducing losses along sidewalls. You also can wrap the plastic over, doubling protection on top. If you choose no cover, the top 3 feet of the forage pile essentially is the cover.
"Leaving a bunker uncovered causes silage to lose up to 45 percent of its nutritive value in the top 3 feet. This is especially important with drive-over piles," Putnam says.
For those looking to estimate shrink losses or improve dry matter recovery, Putnam suggests a straightforward calculation.
"An easy guide is with 1,000 tons of silage in a bunker and shrink reduced by 5 percent, you save 50 tons," he says. "Corn silage is worth roughly $45 per ton, depending on area. A producer can save $2,250 on 1,000 tons."
If you use Putnam's system to replace energy source losses with cornmeal, the system is slightly more complicated, he says. "Fifty tons of corn silage at 34 percent dry matter is 17 dry matter tons. If cornmeal is 86 percent dry matter, this means you need 19.76 tons of cornmeal to replace the lost dry matter. If cornmeal cost is $280 per ton, then saving 5 percent dry matter could save you $5,532.80."
Monitoring bunker management
Keep the silage face clean to protect silage quality. Removing forage from the bunker with facing equipment minimizes the amount of fractures or oxygen penetration compared to gouging with a front-end loader.
"Data shows an average bunker silo loses 15 percent of its dry matter mass during storage and feedout," he says. "Not all of that can be managed. There is always going to be some loss from fermentation. However, with good packing, a quality inoculant, appropriate bunker covering and use of a defacer, losses can be limited to 10 percent or less."
Pioneer experts use an infrared camera to show the variation of heating throughout the face of a bunker. Increased heat levels result in energy losses. Inoculation Lactobacillus buchneri is a form of management to reduce losses. Inoculants containing L. buchneri help increase bunk life and protect silage from heating and spoilage by microorganisms.
"Infrared cameras show the value of inoculants," Putnam says. "Quality inoculants maintain or retain most of the forage quality from the field to the bunker. L. buchneri inoculants extend and maintain the quality from the bunker through feedout."
Pioneer offers producers a wide range of inoculant products containing a combination of proprietary L. buchneri strains to increase aerobic stability and improve the quality of silage, Putnam says. "Some of these products include 11CFT and 11C33 for corn silage, 11AFT for alfalfa, 11G22 and 11GFT for grass or cereal silage and 11B91 for high-moisture corn, earlage or snaplage."
To accommodate these products, a variety of application technologies are available to match both the formulation and the application rate needed. Pioneer's application technology has been designed to work with all major brands of forage harvesting equipment.

By Kirsty OUP-UK
While Rebecca has been quizzing the publishing world of New York, I have been hounding people a little closer to home: the staff of OUP here in Oxford. Here is what we've been reading on this side of the Pond in 2007…
Kate Farquhar-Thomson, Head of Publicity
Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees by Richard Deakin. As an outdoors girl this journey through the woods and forests of both this country and abroad evokes a sense of being at one with nature in all its grandeur. I loved the book and could read it over and over each time discovering something new.
Phil Henderson, Senior Marketing Manager, Trade Books
Anne Tyler: A Patchwork Planet. A ray of hope in the general messiness of life – and it puts the 'fun' back into 'dysfunctional'.
Judith Luna, Commissioning Editor, Oxford World's Classics
I have been reading some of Elizabeth Gaskell's short stories this year. I've always loved Cranford, but Gaskell's short stories are a revelation; tremendously powerful vignettes of everyday life, often quite bleak and tragic, but superbly crafted and affecting – they are both intimate and grand, dealing with everything from a rejected lover to the effects of the changes in society reflected in the coming of the railways, the penny post, the spread of education in the course of the nineteenth century. Cousin Phillis is a wonderful love story, and My Lady Ludlow a study of a bygone age and values, some admirable, some less so, and full of a palpable nostalgia and quiet humour.
I also read Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera for the first time: it is every bit as good as everyone says!
Sarah Brett, Commissioning Assistant, Higher Education
My favourite book this year was Making Money by Terry Pratchett. Following on from the hilarious Going Postal it covers Moist von Lipwig's attempts to get the Ankh Morpork Royal Mint running efficiently again. The story is highly entertaining and contains Mr Pratchett's usual brilliant wit: the section with the golem, the pug dog, and the 'adult' toy had me in stitches. After hearing the recent sad news of Terry's diagnosis with Alzheimer's I cherish this book all the more and am only glad that he has had such a productive and successful career.
Bethan Taylor, Assistant Marketing Manager, Reference Books
When thinking about the books I've read this year, the one stands out was Diaries 1969 – 1979: The Python Years by Michael Palin. These diaries chart Palin's personal and professional life over the decade; from the birth of his children, his work writing and acting in the Monty Python tv series and films, to his personal projects such as Three Men in a Boat and his frequent trips to the US to, amongst other things, present Saturday Night Live with the likes of Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd. Palin's diaries are written with warmth and humour and were lovely to read. It's a thick paperback but I was still sad to get to the end of 1979, and I hope his subsequent diaries will follow.
A word of warning though, Eric Idle and John Cleese did keep appearing in my dreams…
Coleen Hatrick, Publicity Manager, Trade and Academic Books
The unfinished book that has completely stolen my heart is The Collected Letters of Ted Hughes. An extraordinary display of immense talent and humanity. Everyone should just dip in and read a sample, you will be trapped for much longer than you might expect!
And finally me… Kirsty McHugh, Press Officer and UK Blogger
Old Men in Love by Alasdair Gray is my book of 2007. I have been a card-carrying Gray-o-phile for a long time, but his newest book has cemented my adoration all the more. This is a bizarre, Arabian Nights-type book purporting to be the posthumous papers of Glasgow school teacher John Tunnock. There are stories within stories and time jumps back and forth, from the Greece of Socrates to Renaissance Italy, Victorian England, and modern-day Glasgow in the throes of anti-Iraq War protests. The book itself is stunning too – Gray was an artist before he was an author, and he illustrates all his own books. A personal highlight was a line drawing of the Hillhead district of Glasgow, where I lived for some years. His drawing was so detailed that I could pinpoint my old bedroom window. It's a gorgeous, wonderful book.

Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement
Additional background information
The CIFTA entered into force on January 1, 1997, eliminating tariffs on all industrial products manufactured in Canada and Israel as well as a limited number of agricultural and fisheries products. Between 1999 and 2003, additional agricultural and agri-food tariff reductions on goods previously excluded from the Agreement were successfully negotiated. This included preferences for a number of Canada's top agricultural and agri-food exports to Israel. The CIFTA is a goods-only agreement.
On October 10, 2010, the Honourable Peter Van Loan, former Minister of International Trade, and his Israeli counterpart Binyamin Ben Eliezer, Israel's then Minister of Industry, Trade and Labour, announced that Canada and Israel were to undertake steps toward modernizing the existing Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement (CIFTA). The Ministers agreed that officials would start exploratory talks in order to work on moving beyond the original, first-generation trade agreement that is currently in place by significantly expanding its application. (See News Release: Harper Government Announces Exploratory Talks to Expand the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement)
Canada-Israel bilateral goods trade has more than doubled since CIFTA came into force, from $507.3 million in 1996 to $1.4 billion in 2012. Canada's consideration of whether and to what extent to expand the coverage of the CIFTA will take into account, inter alia, potential stakeholder interests through a public consultation process.
On January 21, 2014, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel, announced the launch of negotiations to expand and modernize the CIFTA Agreement (See News Release: PM Launches Negotiations to Expand Free Trade with Israel).
Canada will seek to modernize existing chapters in the Agreement in the areas of market access for goods, rules of origin, institutional provisions and dispute settlement. Canada will also seek to negotiate new chapters in the areas of trade facilitation, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, intellectual property, e-commerce, labour and environment.
An expanded and modernized CIFTA would benefit Canadian companies by:
- Reducing or eliminating tariffs on agricultural and fish/seafood products;
- reducing technical barriers for trade;
- enhancing cooperation;
- increasing transparency in regulatory matters;
- reducing transaction costs; and,
- further enhancing Canada's visibility in the Israeli market.
In October 2011, the Government of Canada sought Canadian views on an expanded and modernized CIFTA via a Canada Gazette Notice. Our Government continues to welcome comments and questions from interested stakeholders. More information can be found on the consultations page of the Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development website.

AVMF opens coffers for Southern California veterinarians
Schaumburg, Ill. - 10/26/07 - The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) is offering $2,000 grants for veterinarians who've lost their practices or are aiding animals displaced by the San Diego County wildfires .
Dozens of veterinarians evacuated and at least two practitioners are among the 1,500 area residents who lost their homes to the flames at press time, according to Pauline White, administrator of the San Diego County Veterinary Medical Association . It was not immediately known whether any practices had succumbed to fire, which authorities confirm has burned approximately half a milion acres.
Veterinarians directly affected by the fires or offering services to animal victims can apply for financial relief by contacting AVMF Grants Coordinator Monique Buonincontro at (800) 248-2862, ext. 6691 or [email protected]
The grants program, created in 2005 following devastation caused by Gulf Coast hurricanes, reimburses affected veterinarians for medical expenses, equipment, modest boarding, some travel, loss of property and other expenses. AVMA membership is not required of recipients.
