SAN DIEGO, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ChemBridge Research Laboratories, Inc. (CRL) today announced extension of a previously unannounced multi-year agreement with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Inc. (St. Jude) which will apply CRL's discovery medicinal chemistry platform to targets related to certain St. Jude cancer therapy research projects. Under the terms of the agreement, CRL and St. Jude researchers will work on hit to lead and lead development against targets that are related to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), such as the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R). ALK was discovered in the laboratory of Stephan W. Morris, M.D., who will lead the scientific team at St. Jude. CRL had previously provided Kinase Targeted Libraries to St. Jude that were specifically designed to interact with the binding-site recognition features of this target family. This library was screened in the Morris laboratory and a number of hits were discovered that showed selective inhibition of ALK when compared to a small panel of kinases, including the highly homologous insulin receptor kinase.
"Our interactions with CRL and its scientists have already been quite fruitful, and we now look forward to extending our work with them as we seek to further optimize and develop selective kinase inhibitors. I would highly recommend CRL to other academically-based investigators as an outstanding partner for their drug discovery projects," said Steve Morris MD, Full Member St. Jude and co-chair of the Joint Research Management Committee (JRMC).
"We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Dr. Stephan Morris and colleagues. This collaboration complements our well established strengths in discovery libraries and medicinal chemistry as well as our growing internal capabilities in assay development, molecular biology and protein expression," stated Thomas R. Webb Ph.D., Vice President of Research and Development at ChemBridge and CRL and co-chair JRMC. "We are impressed by the excellent progress made by the talented scientists from this discovery team in this unique research niche and we are looking forward to continued contributions in the discovery of novel selective kinase inhibitor leads for cancer therapy, This collaboration has been fruitful due to the mutually productive interactions, the rapid turn-around of biological data from St. Jude and our hit-follow-up and lead optimization chemistry efforts," said Rongshi Li Director of High Throughput Medicinal Chemistry at CRL and a member of the St. Jude/CRL JRMC.
ChemBridge Research Laboratories, Inc. (CRL), http://www.chembridgeresearch.com/, is a privately held chemistry-based small molecule drug discovery company. It was founded in 2000 as a spin-off of ChemBridge Corporation. CRL is located in San Diego, in custom built, state-of-the-art research facilities, with 58 employees including 48 scientists (31 Ph.D.) and is led by a research management team with substantial experience in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. CRL is focused on collaborative medicinal chemistry support,
hit-to-lead and lead optimization programs, and has a track record of consistently exceeding the goals on all of its research collaborations including major multi-year alliances with Pfizer, Inc. and Merck & Co. CRL's internal drug discovery efforts leverage the company's comprehensive medicinal chemistry platform and its core expertise in kinase and GPCR areas. CRL's internal projects include one obesity and two oncology programs.
ChemBridge Corporation, http://www.chembridge.com/, is a privately-held leading global discovery chemistry CRO.

Editor's note: Data collected and analyzed by Realtor.com through March 2012. Includes single-family homes, condos, townhomes and co-ops.
U.S. housing market trends tracked by Realtor.com show a trifecta of promise: a shrinking number of homes on the market, fresher inventory, and an increase in median list price.
In 146 metros tracked by Realtor.com, the number of for-sale listings was down 21 percent in March compared to a year ago. All but two markets — Philadelphia and Hartford, Conn. — saw listing inventory decline, and 78 markets registered declines of 20 percent or more.
Nationwide, the median number of days a home had been on the market was down nearly 20 percent, to 89 days, and median list price was up 5.6 percent, to $189,900.
Back in March 2011, Realtor.com statistics also showed for-sale listing inventory down about 9 percent from a year ago. But inventory age was up 26 percent at the time.
|Data Point
|Percent Change, March 2012 vs. March 2011
|Number of Listings
|Median Age of Inventory
|Median List Price
Some of the metros in states hit hardest by foreclosures — California, Arizona and Florida — saw the highest drop in for-sale listings over the last year.
The Oakland, Calif., metro area tops the list with a 52 percent year-over-year drop in housing inventory. Not too far away, geographically speaking, the Bakersfield, Calif., metro stands at No. 2 with a 50 percent drop in inventory for the year. Phoenix, Fresno, Calif., and Miami round out the top five, respectively.
The other metros in the top 10, in order, are:
- Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
- Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash.
- Atlanta
- Orlando, Fla.
- Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.
As a sign of a shift in the housing market, none of this March's year-over-year top 10 metros for for-sale listings drops were in last year's top 10, when Shreveport-Bossier City, La., topped the list with a 47 percent drop, followed by Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, Mich., and Fort Myers-Cape Coral, Fla., respectively.

"Ensuring that crime victims and survivors receive restitution is a top priority of my Administration," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "I am pleased that CDCR has closed the necessary loopholes and streamlined the process for restitution requests. More money is now going where it belongs – to victims and survivors."
"Today's announcement that 50 cents of every dollar earned by an inmate, or sent to an inmate by family and others, is collected on behalf of victims and survivors of the perpetrator's crimes, underscores that the rights of victims and survivors to collect on restitution, judgments and other direction orders from the court are stronger than ever here at CDCR," Secretary Tilton said. "I thank the assistance of victim's rights advocates who have worked tirelessly to help make this happen."
In addition, the program for collection of restitution from offenders on parole has been strengthened. Overall, this program has resulted in a 21 percent increase in restitution collection in 2007 from 2006, with more than $22 million in restitution orders, fines and fees collected last year.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proclaimed April 14 – 18, 2008 as "Crime Victims' Rights Week" in California. Statewide, several dozen adult and juvenile facilities and parole regions/offices have planned victim's week observations and activities, including a march on the Capitol this Wednesday, April 16, at 10 a.m.
CDCR has a long history of supporting the rights of victims and survivors of crime. When the Department reorganized on July 1, 2005, the Department's victim right's advocate was elevated to an Assistant Secretary level position and reports directly to the Secretary. A number of reforms and changes were made since the CDCR reorganization, including:
- Maximizing restitution collection from inmates under State and Federal laws
- Automatically activating all direct orders of restitution from the courts to CDCR
- Initiating restitution collection immediately when the offender is received by CDCR
- Extending that restitution obligation more effectively as the inmate transitions to parole.
"Despite significant progress in providing rights and services to crime victims over the past two decades, large segments of the population are still underserved," said Fisher. "It is the administration's hope that the increased collection of victim restitution funds will allow us to provide more services for crime victims, including those with disabilities and mental illness, and victims who are immigrants, teenagers, elderly, or live in rural areas. Every victim deserves respect, resources, restoration, and justice, every time."
The CDCR Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services (OVSRS) provide advocacy services as well as supports rehabilitative opportunities for offenders. Specifically, the OVSRS maintains a comprehensive victim services program and supports justice practices to ensure offender rehabilitation and accountability to victims, the community, and to themselves.
"Crime Victims' Rights Week offers us all the opportunity to recommit ourselves to ensuring that every victim is afforded his or her legal rights in our criminal justice system," said Sandi Menefee, Assistant Secretary for the OVSRS. "We must continue to increase our collective efforts to protect, restore, and expand crime victims' rights and services so that they apply to every victim."

General News of Thursday, 6 December 2012
Source: MFWA
With less than 48 hours to the polls, the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) reminds the media and journalists about their crucial role in contributing to free, fair and peaceful elections. The media have an invaluable duty to perform in the electoral process, and whether and how they discharge their mandate will go a long way in shaping the media's place in the country's democratic and development process.
The MFWA thus, urges all media houses and journalists to abide by the ethics of the profession and eschew partisanship, hate speech, rumour mongering and all other forms of unprofessional conduct that may contribute to raising tensions and jeopardising the peace of the country.
Specifically, the MFWA urges the media to take a cue from happenings in Kenya and other places where unprofessional media conduct contributed to elections-related violence. Journalists are also reminded about the trial of a Kenyan radio show host, Joshua Arap Sang, currently facing trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague for his role in the 2007 Kenyan electoral crisis.
The Foundation believes the basic tenets of the profession- truth, accuracy and objectivity- should guide journalist in the coverage of the elections. These tenets should be applied in the spirit of optimum consideration of peace, national cohesion and unity.
The media is also encouraged to make education of the voter on the electoral processes a major priority.
The Executive Director of the MFWA, Prof. Kwame Karikari, while commending the media for the hardwork in the coverage of the electoral activities so far, said the election day and days after present the real test of professionalism for the media.
"The media must be guided by ethical standards and be mindful of the cultural sensitivities of our people in their coverage and reportage on the elections," he added.
This, he believes, will reward the efforts of press freedom fighters and entrench Ghana's democratic credentials on the continent.
Issued by MFWA in Accra on December 5, 2012
The MFWA is a regional independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Accra. It was founded in 1997 to defend and promote the rights and freedom of the media and all forms of expression.

A LoDo rooftop spot has found a second home in Uptown.
Tap Fourteen has signed a lease on a new location at 400 E. 19th Ave., according to a report from real estate brokerage NAI Shames Makovsky. The bar, owned by the same group behind Hayter's & Co., will take up 3,500 square feet at the One City Block apartment complex.
NAI Shames Makovsky's Bruce Boxer brokered the lease, on the first floor of One City Block at the corner of 19th Avenue and Logan Street. It will join restaurants D Bar and Ocean to Plate to round out One City Block's dining lineup.
The original Tap Fourteen is a rooftop bar above Hayter's, which opened in spring 2015. That location advertises 70 Colorado beers on tap, as well as a lunch, dinner and weekend brunch menu.

I need help......I need a really good plastic surgeon here in Houston TX... I have been told that some plastic surgeon schools do this for a low $$$$....Please help....please...thank you
I Really Would Like to Have a Mommy Makeover...
Doctor Answers 13
School plastic surgery
There are great eductaional programs in the greater houston area that are much cheaper if you go to the schools. It is obviously not a board certified plastic surgeon doing your surgery and for the most part, as an educational case you'll be a learning experience for a young surgeon. Your expectations must be realistic in those settings.

Cost for mommy makeover
It is best to consult with several reputable surgeons and then decide on the surgeon whose results, experience and credentials appear best to you.
If you shop purely by price, you are likely to be disappointed.
Budget doctors will often cut corners, shave time off in surgery, perform surgery in unsafe facilities, not have the proper insurances and policies in place, are understaffed, are poorly trained, etc etc etc. It costs a reputable doctor money to do things right. That is why they do not have the lowest fees.
If you buy a lemon for a car, you can always get rid of it somehow. It's only money you lose.
However if you have subpar surgery and are left with disfigured breasts and abdomen, you may regret your decision.

Mommy Makeover Surgery Pricing
Thank you for your question.
You may be able to find some teaching hospitals with residents that would like to perform the "mommy makeover" procedure and your cost may be lower when performing it at these locations.
Best Wishes!

Mommy makeover costs
If you can't afford the surgery, I suggest that you save up to have it done. But, if you want to go to a teaching program where a resident in training will perform the surgery under the supervision of an attending, then you should look around at local programs in your area.

Mommy Makeover Costs
You are correct that the plastic surgery training programs offer discounted rates on plastic surgery procedures. You may also be a candidate for healthcare financing, where your mommy makeover can be financed similar to a car or home over a course of 5 years. Patient's may also consider staging their mommy makeover by completing the tummy tuck first, followed by the breast surgery at a 2nd stage. I wish you a safe and happy result!!

Lower cost options for mommy makeover
IF you are seeking a lower cost alternative, you may want to schedule an appointment with the plastic surgery residency training program where the surgery can be performed at substantially lower prices.

Costs for Mommy Makeovers
Although cost is an important consideration, it should NOT be the number one concern when choosing your plastic surgeon. Unlike other "purchases" which you can return, surgery is an important decision. Safety and quality of your experience and outcome and the comfort level you have with your surgeon and team should be the most important factors to consider. Now I understand everyone has budgets. Either plan ahead or perhaps break down your mommy makeover into smaller procedures. Perhaps only do the tummy and then come back for the breast work. Its OK to come back and fight another day. Best of luck.

Obesity is associated with a relatively high prevalence of psychopathological conditions, which may have a significant negative impact on the quality of life. Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention in the morbidly obese to achieve marked weight loss and improve physical comorbidities, yet its impact on psychological health has yet to be determined. A review of the literature identified a trend suggesting improvements in psychological health after bariatric surgery. Majority of mental health gain is likely attributed to weight loss and resultant gains in body image, self-esteem, and self-concept; however, other important factors contributing to postoperative mental health include a patient's sense of taking control of his/her life and support from health care staff. Preoperative psychological health also plays an important role. In addition, the literature suggests similar benefit in the obese pediatric population. However, not all patients report psychological benefits after bariatric surgery. Some patients continue to struggle with weight loss, maintenance and regain, and resulting body image dissatisfaction. Severe preoperative psychopathology and patient expectation that life will dramatically change after surgery can also negatively impact psychological health after surgery. The health care team must address these issues in the perioperative period to maximize mental health gains after surgery.

Johannesburg – Merrick Bremner completed his weather-interrupted second round on Saturday, firing a 70 and finishing 10 under at the halfway stage of the South African Open at Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate in Gauteng.
Leader by three shots, Sweden's Henrik Stenson had an early tee off on Friday and was not affected by the inclement weather which halted play in the afternoon.
"I think we were quite fortunate that we got called off yesterday. The wind was blowing really hard," said Bremner after the completion of his second round.
"It was a good thing that we went off and got some rest and then got to come out and finish these four holes. And now we get a nice long rest before going out this afternoon."
Swede Magnus Carlson was a further shot behind Bremner, on nine under, after completing his round on Friday.
Charl Schwartzel shot a second successive 68 and ended on eight under par, along with Lloyd Saltman of Scotland.
"It was an early start this morning. I was disappointed yesterday, because I got it going nicely and then that weather came in," said Schwartzel.
"As the weather changed I made bogey and they called it off. I went to sleep last night with not a very nice feeling.
"I was quite determined to come out this morning and see if I could get it to at least eight-under, which I did. I'm very pleased with that and I put myself right back in it there."
The cut came at one under par, notably with defending champion Henni Otto just making it on the number.
The third round began at 10.30am, with players going off two tees. – Sapa

Local dealers(Sony, Panasonic.) are currently offering 5 year warranties on said packages, could somebody please offer me some advice on which they consider to be the better, or is it to close to call.
Many thanks.

ST. PETERSBURG — The city is making its biggest ventures into electronic surveillance at the city marina and port with a plan next year to install 28 cameras.
The City Council approved a $174,786 contract Monday with SiteSecure Inc., a Sanford company that provides surveillance cameras to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
It's part of Mayor Bill Foster's goal to reduce costs by relying on technology, such as video surveillance. Six remote-controlled video cameras have been installed in three city parks in recent weeks as well.
"We're using technology to extend our eyes and ears," Foster said.
The city has a roving security team that keeps an eye on the boats that dock at the port and marina. With 662 boat slips, the marina is the largest operated by a municipality in Florida.
The cameras will focus on the many entry points. George Manemann, the marina supervisor, said a security guard will watch the monitors at all times, but the video stream will also be digitally recorded.
Manemann said the marina doesn't have any security issues right now. Asked how the cameras will help, he said it's an enhancement.
"We won't have a security issue at all with the cameras," Manemann said.
But it does allow for savings when it comes to labor costs.
Security guards will continue to rove the port and the marina, but two part-time positions at the marina were cut in anticipation of the cameras.
"In 18 months, the costs of the cameras are paid back because of the labor savings," said Chris Ballestra, the director of the city's downtown enterprise facilities, which includes the port and marina. "We're able to cover more area full time, and we'll have a broader overview of the port and the marina."
The cameras will be installed next year and should provide an instant savings, said Craig Bowman, a division manager of SiteSecure.
"You can't replace the human eye and how it interprets what it sees," Bowman said. "But the cameras allow one person to cover much more ground."

Imagine living life with every sound muffled so you never clearly hear the words "I love you." Imagine living life with such a pure heart that you're vulnerable to everything and everyone. Imagine living life at everyone else's mercy so that you never get to make your own decisions. Imagine living life with an IQ so low that strangers have meetings to determine how to teach you. Imagine a body so sensitive that you are susceptible to even the rarest illnesses. Imagine being Brandon.
Imagine that your smile lights up your mother's heart so that she can never be sad around you. Imagine that your laughter is so intoxicating that is fills a room. Imagine that despite your challenges you are the coolest kid in the building. Imagine that your dance moves were so smooth that you summon the spirit of MJ and put Bieber to shame. Imagine that you sing like a star and people stand at attention as you bellow out notes. Imagine that you throw a ball with such accuracy that Shaq could use pointers. Imagine being Brandon.
Imagine that God had to choose someone worthy enough to nurture your spirit so that your smile would never fade. Imagine that God had to choose someone who'd never make you feel different so that you would shine among the best. Imagine that God had to choose someone who'd love you and appreciate you, flaws and all, and see beyond your inabilities. Imagine if every time you told someone your child had Down syndrome they'd apologize like they'd done something wrong. Imagine if you had to defend your child's outbursts or lack of standard communication because he speaks a language that only you understand. Imagine if you had to ward off peculiar stares from children and adults because your child looks different & their ignorance doesn't afford them the willingness to just say "hello." Imagine being Brandon's mother.
Imagine if you had to cringe and turn your head or walk away every time someone you considered a friend used the word "retarded" because it hits so close to home. Imagine if you had to smile in the faces of people who make shrewd comments about people with Down syndrome as if they're daring you to be offended. Imagine if you had to look into your child's eyes every day and know that one extra chromosome separates him from the rest & that same chromosome holds him back from reaching the full potential that you know he undoubtedly possesses, but imagine knowing that your child is innocent and will be shielded from the wickedness of the world. Imagine that your child will never take to heart the piercing stares and cutting words of nay-sayers because he only sees the good in everyone. Imagine if you were lucky enough to know that God trusts you to watch over and protect one of his most fragile and special creations. Imagine being me, Brandiss… Brandon's super proud mother.

Transfers of Wednesday, 20 February 2013
Source: --
Asante Kotoko are on the verge of selling striker Kofi Nti-Boakye to an unnamed European club, reports gaining grounds in the local media suggests.
News of the sale of the 25-year-old has infuriated the club supporters especially the ones situated around the club's base in Kumasi.
Officials of Kotoko are said to have approached second tier club Deportivo for a replacement for the ex Liberty Professionals player.
Club supporters are however unhappy with the intention to sell Nti-Boakye especially with their ambition of winning all three competitions they are currently involved in.
Kotoko have made an impressive start to the CAF Champions League while well in touching distance of current Premier League leaders Medeama SC.
They are also expected to make significant strides in the MTN FA Cup competition.
The team has already lost their best player Daniel Adjei and right-back Yaw Frimpong to TP Mazembe.
They have also center back Rashid Sumaila (at Kotoko on loan from Ebusua Dwarfs) to South African side Mamelodi Sundowns.
And the fans believe a further sale of their best players will weaken their team for the games ahead.
Some countries in Europe are set to open their transfer window despite the general closure of the secondary window in mainstream Europe.
This news comes just off the heels of an agreement to send defender Gideon Baah on loan to an unnamed Finish club.

SHUAA Capital Q3 revenues hit US$14 million
SHUAA Capital, the leading financial services institution in the GCC, today reported results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2010. During the quarter, which was impacted by the extremely quiet business periods of summer, Ramadan and Eid-Al-Fitr holidays, SHUAA generated revenues of AED51.8 m (3Q 2009: AED66 m) and a small profit of AED0.2 m (3Q 2009 loss: AED269.3 m).
For the nine months period, SHUAA reported revenues of AED145.7 m (9M 2009: AED221.2 m) and a loss of AED36.9 m (9M 2009 loss: AED375.5 m). SHUAA has continued to make headway in strengthening its balance sheet during the quarter, further reducing its liabilities by AED206.1 m. Net assets stood at AED1.68 bn as of 30 September, 2010.
Mr. Majid Al Ghurair, Chairman of SHUAA Capital said:
"Recording a profit, albeit small, is an important achievement in an extremely challenging environment characterized by the lowest market activity since 2004. This is particularly pleasing when compared to 3rd Quarter results of regional and international investment banks. Since the arrival of the firm's new Chief Executive Officer one year ago, SHUAA has successfully restructured its balance sheet, re-focused its strategy on its fee generating businesses, and improved its earnings capabilities. Furthermore, SHUAA's business model has proven to be robust and efficient, even in the most difficult of economic environments."
Mr. Sameer Al Ansari, Chief Executive Officer of SHUAA Capital commented:
"SHUAA's third quarter result is clear proof that the company's turnaround is on track. Our balance sheet is strong, de-risked, and underleveraged. Our excellent liquidity position will allow us to reinvest and focus on the growth of our core businesses, most of which have recorded profits this quarter. We are particularly pleased by the strong performance of our investment funds and the progress made on a number of significant investment banking mandates. SHUAA's financial strength coupled with our leading market position in our specialist areas along with an exceptional new leadership team, positions us perfectly to benefit from the improved investor sentiment and market activity. Today, we are more optimistic about the future than at any other point during the past year."
SHUAA's business units reported solid results during the third quarter despite extremely low trading activity. Asset Management and Investment Banking moved back into profitability. Private Equity and Finance remained profitable. Unsurprisingly, Brokerage results were impacted by reduced client activity.
SHUAA has continued to develop its business in Saudi Arabia, with the Kingdom identified as a key part of SHUAA's growth plans. Market activity and investor appetite picked up in Saudi Arabia in the third quarter and SHUAA was able to capitalize on this. Private Equity assets under management are up, brokerage activity has increased and the team is working on a number of investment banking mandates. SHUAA is now well positioned to build and further solidify its presence in the region's largest economy.
Segmental Information
Asset Management
SHUAA Asset Management's two flagship funds, the Arab Gateway Fund and the Emirates Gateway Fund have both significantly outperformed their respective benchmarks by 4.0% and 3.8%, respectively. Both funds have sustained consistent improved performance, with total returns of 11.2% and 13.2% year-to-date. The Saudi Gateway fund also outperformed its benchmark by 1.3% while the fund performance is up 5.68% year to date.
The division recorded revenues of AED6.9 m (3Q 2009: AED26.1 m) and a profit of AED3.7 m, compared to AED23.5 m in the same period last year. Net Inflows into our funds are yet to reflect the outperformance of our funds.
Brokerage, which is an operationally-geared business, suffered due to the dramatic drop in trading activity across the Dubai Financial Market and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange during the quarter. Consequently, SHUAA Securities saw revenues fall to AED5.8 m (3Q 2009: AED14.7 m), and recorded a loss of AED3.7 m (Q3 2009: profit AED4.5 m). Regional markets saw a significant pick-up in trading activity in September which has continued into October. SHUAA is well positioned to attract institutional fund flows as international investors return to local markets and expects to increase market share in Saudi Arabia as its stronger sales presence starts gaining traction.
The brokerage market has also been undergoing significant consolidation in recent months and it is expected that the number of registered brokers on the DFM and ADX will fall to 70 from over 90 by the end of the year. SHUAA's reputation, scale and full service approach, including its respected award-winning research team, provides the firm with an opportunity to increase market share as the investor flight to quality continues.
Private Equity
SHUAA Partners generated revenues of AED7.4 m (3Q 2009 loss: AED7.7 m) and profit of AED3.2 m (3Q 2009 loss: AED12.3 m) during the latest quarter
SHUAA Partners Fund I, L.P completed a significant exit with the sale of its stake in Rotana Hotel Management Corporation. The investment was made in 2006 through a private placement. The sale generated a strong return and substantial dividends over the four year holding period.
Investment Banking
Investment Banking reported revenues of AED6.9 m (3Q 2009: AED2.4 m) and recorded a profit of AED2.9 m for the third quarter of 2010, which is an improvement over the profit of AED0.4 m recorded during the third quarter of 2009.
The third quarter proved to be challenging, with clients continuing to delay transactions during the summer months. Despite weak market conditions, Investment Banking has increased the number of mandates in its pipeline, is currently pitching for several others, and has started to see some positive momentum. The team is finalising two M&A transactions, working on two private placements and has been appointed joint book runner for the forthcoming IPO of Axiom Telecom. The expansion of the Capital Markets business is progressing well with Syndicate and Trading Desk becoming much more active.
Gulf Finance continued to perform well during the third quarter, reporting a profit of AED6.5 m (Q3 2009: AED6.5 m). Revenues during the quarter were AED14.9 m (3Q 2009: AED20.8 m), reflecting lower average assets year on year as a consequence of de-risking and diversifying the lending portfolio into new sectors. Reflecting the declining asset book size, the NPL rate has marginally increased to 3.18% at the end of the third quarter as compared to 3.0% at the end of the second quarter.
Over the past 2 years the business has been exiting the construction related vehicle finance market and repositioning itself as a transactional SME focused asset-backed lender. Today, exposure to the construction sector represents less than 10% of the overall lending portfolio. Good transaction flow is being seen within our new SME target market, with particular success in the Healthcare, Manufacturing and Oil & Gas sectors. Geographic exposure is continuing to diversify with momentum being gained in Abu Dhabi which now represents nearly a third of all new business.
During the quarter, Gulf Finance had its credit rating of BB with a stable outlook re-affirmed by Capital Intelligence, for the 3rd consecutive year, showing that credit quality has been maintained during the downturn.
During the third quarter of 2010, the Corporate entity reported revenues of AED9.9 m (3Q 2009: AED9.7 m) and a loss of AED12.4 m (3Q 2009 loss: AED291.8 m). The Division saw a gain of AED6.2 m on investments (3Q 2009 loss: AED255.7 m). General and administrative expenses fell to AED22.5 m (3Q 2009: AED34 m). Interest expenses also fell to AED5.8 m (3Q 2009: AED10.2 m).

Extra services associated with a wedding order? Im currently working on making a final cake contract as we speak and need a little help with the service charges. I just read another thread about it (didnt want to post my question there), and was concerned about my pricing.
My fees are:
-$25 Tasting (No tasting, consultations are free)
- $50 Non-refundable deposit that doubles as the stand/equipment rental. Refundable only if you rent and return the equipment in good shape on time. (Not sure if im doing this right. Printed out four other cake companies contracts for comparison. All of them doubled up the deposit with the rental fee)
- $45 Delivery and Setup fee within the city. $.50 cent per mile to and from outside of the city. For me the delivery of a wedding cake is standard. I dont trust customers to deliver and assemble thier own cake. Had too many bad experiences being blamed even if it is in the policy. Makes me look bad. Dont want to deal with it. If I spent several hours with a cake you are not going to mess it up. Will consider lowering the price though for cakes with minimal setup.
- $25 cake cutting fee - If I have to stay and cut it
For my area- $3 BC Servings and $4 Fondant servings. What I charge.
What and how should I go charging these fees?
The only problem I see is your cake cutting fee. If you "stay and cut it", that means you are delivering and setting up the cake about an hour prior to the start of the reception. THen you have to hang around until they finally get around to cutting and serving the cake ... after dinner, after the toasts, after the first dance, blah blah blah.
YOu're going to sit around for anywhere from 3 to 6 hours and only get paid $25????
It's a $25 to $50 PER HOUR rate with a MINIMUM of four hours for your time.
It also covers lost opportunity time. THe lost opportunity you had to make a birthday cake that could have brought in another $100 or $200. The lost opportunity to take your kids to the movies or to Putt Putt Golf. Even just the simple lost opportunity to crash on your couch and watch a good Lifetime movie about a wife murdering her no-good husband! There's value in all of that.
Yes, they ARE going to pay you to sit in the kitchen and read a book. They are paying for your TOTAL time, not just the time you are holding a knife in your hand. If someone works at McDonalds', they are getting paid for their entire time there ... NOT just the time they are handing a customer a bag of fries.
I think that your cake cutting fee is a little low. The reason is that you usually set up a cake before the reception. so then you have to stay around and wait until it's time to cut it or if you leave and come back, what about your gas and your time. I think that I heard that from someone one this site.
I'm thinking the same thing about the cake cutting fee. Around here the caterer will usually cut the cake, so you don't have to do that. If you do, you need to charge per hour (and not minimum wage, either.)
Yes....yes I could be watching a Lifetime movie. lol. I think im going to charge the $25 per hour with the minimum of four hours.
Do you think its fair that I wont let a customer pick up thier wedding order and that they have to pay for it? Im willing to charge less for orders that have little to no setup.
How does the deposit and stand rental work? Im I doing it right?
Do you think its fair that I wont let a customer pick up thier wedding order and that they have to pay for it? Im willing to charge less for orders that have little to no setup.
A relative of mine was in a bakery and heard them tell a wedding cake customer, 'We really prefer that you let us deliver it. If you carry the cake out that door, trip on the sidewalk and drop the whole thing, all we will do is stand here and laugh."
So if they do the delivery, you need to have a "we are not liable" form for them to sign so they KNOW there is no fixing, no replacement, no nothing.
I saw one bakery who had a clause that they WOULD come out to try to fix a cake that was picked up by the customer. But it was $100 an hour, 2 hour minimum, paid by credit card BEFORE they left their shop.
Yes, to me it should be standard practice to deliver and set up a cake. Most people don't know what they are doing and I wouldn't trust too many people to take something that I have slaved hours over to mess it up. To me set up is set up no matter how les sof time it take, they are paying you for your expertise.
My non-refundable deposit holds the date.
I charge a seperate fee for equipment.
I think your non-refundable fee is a little low. If a bride cancels a month before the wedding and you can't find another bride - you're out lots of money. All you will have is $50. Just my thoughts.
I also have a separate charge for deposit (to hold the date) and equipment rental charge. My equipment rental charge covers the amount it would take me to replace whatever they're renting should they break it.
I have it where they make a down payment on thier order when they sign the contract. Cancellation Policy: 90 Days before the event will receive 100% refund. 30-89 Days will receive 50% refund. 30 Days or less will recieve no refund. Determining if I should make the final payment due 14 days or at the 30 day mark beofre the event.
When you charge for the rental do you charge the actual value of the equipment? That way you already have thier money if something happens to the item. Or is it a percentage? Wasn't sure about that when looking at other contracts. Seems easier to make them pay upfront rather than charging them later.
From a consumer standpoint because I am no professional, if you aren't going to offer pick up then I'd much rather hear as a customer "price of cake is X amt which includes delivery". Because really you aren't giving them an option you just include it in the price. Perhaps you could say "The 50.00 non refundable deposit pays for the delivery fee".

Yes, that's the way I did it when I had my shop. We (usually) don't want customer pickikng up tiered cakes so fix your price w/as few extras as possible.
I charge 25% of the total order which is non-refundable to reserve the date. If they cancel, any money they've paid is also non-refundable. The equipment rental is separate. I don't charge for delivery in about a 15 mile radius. I charge a $50 cutting fee (most of the caterers around here charge $75). I may rethink that cutting fee if I have to sit around and kill time at too many weddings unless they give me access to the bar!
I used to refund all but $50 if they cancelled, but then I figured if they cancel two weeks before the wedding I can't rebook that date, so I'm out the price of a cake and I'm left holding 50 stinking bucks for it.

Bjugstad Announces Return For Junior Year
CHN Staff Report
MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota junior Nick Bjugstad is a rarity in the modern age of college hockey — a high-end player who decided he's returning to school despite the lure of pro hockey.
Bjugstad, who will be entering his junior season, like Justin Schultz last year, announced his decision today.
"This is the right spot for me," Bjugstad said. "I am going to be close to finishing my education and hopefully can accomplish the goal that I have had ever since I was little, which is winning a national championship. We are going to have a good team this year and hopefully get another chance at the national championship and make a run there. I feel I can develop here and become more of a leader on the team as well. Hopefully, I will have a good season."
The 6-foot-5, 211-pound center from Blaine, Minn., was named All-WCHA First Team and Second-Team All-American after recording 42 points in 40 games as a sophomore. He led Minnesota with 25 goals (tied for fifth in the nation) and also added 17 assists as he finished third on the team in points. His 25 goals were the most scored by a Gopher since Ryan Potulny had 38 in 2005-06.
Bjugstad, who will turn 20 next Tuesday, was plus-21 on the season and tied for second on the team in power-play goals (8). He also led the team in shooting percentage (17.2 percent) and faceoffs (of players who have taken more than 50 faceoffs) with a 57.9 percent success rate.
"We are obviously excited Nick is returning," said coach Don Lucia. "I think Nick felt that he had a little bit more room to grow as a person and as a player. The great thing is that at the end of his junior year is that he will be very close to graduating college. He can be a leader on our team and he feels he can continue to get better in our program. He made great strides his first two years and we are confident he is going to make great strides during his junior year."
Bjugstad was a first-round selection of the Florida Panthers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

OHRID, Macedonia -- The Macedonian government and top ethnic Albanian leaders resumed talks Saturday on a peaceful end to a conflict that has driven thousands of people from their homes and threatened to engulf the country in civil war.
Under tight security, U.S. and European Union mediators and the feuding parties gathered at a presidential retreat on Lake Ohrid in southwestern Macedonia, a venue chosen in an attempt to avoid potentially hostile crowds in the capital, Skopje.
It was the first face-to-face meeting of key leaders since high-level talks collapsed more than a week ago. But the talks, which were to continue today, were inconclusive.
"It's been a long day," an exhausted U.S. envoy James Pardew said late Saturday night. Asked if the two sides had drawn closer, he said simply: "No."
Western envoys hoped the two sides would build on lower-level discussions that took place over the past few days, and said they were focusing on a main sticking point -- a proposal to make Albanian an official language.
"We'll try to get a solution, probably tomorrow, but it's very difficult," said EU envoy Francois Leotard.
Under a new compromise, Albanian would become official only in areas where minority ethnic Albanians account for more than 20 percent of the population. The phrasing apparently was reworked in an attempt to make it more acceptable for majority Macedonians.
The language dispute cuts to the heart of the deep cultural differences between ethnic Albanians, who account for about a third of the Balkan country's 2 million people, and Macedonians of Slavic origin. Ethnic Albanian rebels launched an insurgency in February, saying they were fighting for greater rights and recognition for their people.
The Macedonian government alleges the rebels are linked to militants in neighboring Kosovo and has accused them of trying to carve out territory from Macedonia.
President Boris Trajkovski's office issued a brief statement Saturday evening that said the efforts were "aimed at achieving a political settlement as soon as possible."
The talks began with Pardew and his Leotard on one side of the table and the Macedonian and ethnic Albanian delegations on the other.
The Macedonians were represented by Trajkovski, Prime Minister Ljubco Georgievski and Branko Crvenkovski, the leader of the opposition Social Democratic Alliance. The ethnic Albanian representatives were Imer Imeri of the ethnic Albanian Party for Democratic Prosperity and Arben Xhaferi of the Democratic Party of Albanians.
A Western diplomat close to the talks said Trajkovski had suggested Ohrid as "the best possible location to talk in a constructive atmosphere and in relative privacy" rather than in Skopje, where the atmosphere remained charged.
Army helicopter gunships made sweeping passes over the area as Macedonian police deployed all over the sprawling retreat grounds and police boats patrolled the lake.
Underscoring the tensions in the capital, about 4,000 angry Macedonians gathered outside parliament Saturday evening to protest alleged ethnic Albanian rebel attacks on Macedonian homes in the village of Tearce, about 30 miles north of Tetovo.
The protesters included about 300 residents of Tearce who said they returned to the village Saturday to find their homes burned down. Earlier Saturday, about 50 villagers blocked a bridge over the Vardar river and accused the militants of setting at least 20 homes afire.
"Terrorists are burning the village," said a protester who gave his name only as Nebajsa T. "There's no one to help us. There's no army or police there."
Several hundred refugees returned Saturday under international escort to their homes in three other villages near Tetovo, Macedonia's second-largest city, Defense Ministry spokesman Marjan Gjurovski said.
At least 8,000 Macedonians fled the area earlier in the week after the rebels battled security forces near downtown Tetovo, where ethnic Albanians form a local majority.

JOHANNESBURG (Aug. 9)
Representatives of South African Jewry have advised the British ambassador here of the Jewish community's concern over the planned opening in London of an office of the Palestine Liberation Organization. A joint delegation of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and the South African Zionist Federation handed Sir Arthur Snelling a memorandum charging that "the activities of such an office will only serve to promote and incite further wanton acts of murder, terrorism and hijacking against innocent men, women and children of all nationalities and religious persuasions, not only in Israel but in many other countries, and on aircraft."
Sir Arthur, according to the delegation, repeated his government's position that it is not illegal to establish an office in Britain "to promote the cause of the Palestinian people in the United Kingdom." The bureau, he reiterated, would not have official or quasi-official status or immunity, any illegal activities would be halted, and personnel deemed to be engaging in or planning such activities would be deported or denied admission to the country.
The British envoy pointed out that the PLO maintains offices in the United States, Yugoslavia, and China; that it is opening one in the Soviet Union; that it has legal representatives in the Arab League offices in Britain and Chile, and that it sends representatives to Arab summit meetings and the United Nations General Assembly. (The New York PLO office was wrecked by a bomb on Oct. 7, 1970.)
According to Sir Arthur, there is a long tradition in Britain that political organizations at odds with governments with which Britain has friendly relations are allowed to operate in Britain as long as they do so within the law. This policy was applied, for example, in the cases of Biafra and Bangladesh, he said. The Jewish delegation was led by I.A. Maisels, general chairman of the Zionist Federation. He was accompanied by H.S. Liebgott and J. Daleski, chairman and president of the Zionist Federation, and D.K. Mann and M. Porter, chairman and president of the Board of Deputies.

I was finally working my way through some old tape and came on one from early Sept. last year that had episodes that began just after Rachel's expulsion, so scenes of her in the jury house fighting with Ragan, rehash scenes of her fighting with other women, fighting with Brendan, replays of her horrible laugh...ugh ugh ugh... if she is back I don't know if I can take it. I'm with many in that I"d love to see Dick take her down...especially if the above plan of the couple members having to compete with each other is true and Brendan gets cut. And I am not a fan of DIck and his behavior towards women generally... Wonder if Brendan ever went into his PhD program or if she sucked him into her Vegas Vegas Vegas scene.
Does anyone know if Brittany married her fiance? The episodes included the guys telling her about the Bro-gade and her crushed diary room response.
I hope a Brigade like plan isn't in play this season--it would make things very boring, and yet it WAS a very good plan. The one good thing about the returnees is that it would probably squash a plan like that.
PWS - I agree with you, I'm not sure I can handle Rachel. Last season I tried to avoid any feeds she was on because her voice just grated on my nerves... I just don't know.....
Britney and her fiance split up soon after the show, I think she's living in NY now
"Just a little faith and both your feet leave the ground"
I guess a few people who have "sources" have confirmed that the duo's are J&J, Brenchel, and D&D. Who knows if these sources are true, or what. But its been looking like it was them from the get go. Looking forward to seeing for myself on Thursday!
When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the World will know Peace
I'm not sure I can handle an entire summer of Brenchel. The rest of them, sure but Brenchel? All the "my man" crap is going to make me turn off the tv!
Yup, with donuts!!
I honestly hope the 8 new HGs gang up and evict as many of the used HGs as possible, right away. AG would hate this, but I would laugh my behind off.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abraham Lincoln
What is an "MFWalkoff?"
I'm inclined to think she'll be shooting for a Donato/Jordeff F4. Which I would enjoy immensely, but I do have my doubts seeing as Dick and Jordan have already won.
UGH! I hate these returning HG's! They should have some of the really old-timers, like Chicken George or thet red-haired girl or the "I hate my husband" lady! That I could get behind.
For once I wish the twist of the season was that there was no twist!
Phil: Claire likes to say "You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution." But I happen to believe you can be both. Modern Family
Chicken George has already been on twice. And he really was not all that during all stars. Don't wanna go that route again.
Although I'm not happy about the returning houseguests, I am at least satisfied with the majority of the people who are coming back...(excluding Brenchel)...that is if the rumors are correct about who it is. We will at least get the cuteness factor and the humor from J&J and then the drama from the Donatos. We will have someone to hate with Brendon & Rachel. And new people to love & hate! It might be kinda fun! Getting excited now!

Since the publication in English of Yukio Mishima's 1954 romance novel, "The Sound of Waves," there has been a fondness for visualizing Japan's Inland Sea, with its islands of olives, oranges, sunburned fisherfolk and noonday siestas, as somehow Mediterranean in flavor, its water passages carrying the traveler on an Ionian journey. Nancy Phelan, in her 1969 travelogue "Pillow of Grass," was similarly moved, the writer finding "figs, persimmons, mandarins and pomegranates ripening around tiered olive groves, redolent of Greece, with its fine filtering dust and glaring sun." Donald Richie's book "The Inland Sea" contains a little of this longing for an antique land, a place whereupon "somewhere near the sea . . . I will find them: the people the Japanese ought to be, the people they once were."
Over 30 years since its first publication, this new edition of Richie's neglected classic is both contemporary and archival. Tinged with a prescience of imminent loss, elegiac but unsentimental, "The Inland Sea" is both somber poetic meditation and acidulous literary entertainment. The places Richie visits are not so much destinations as departure points, the setting for a combination of composed detail and richly discursive passages on the mingled blessings of culture.
Richie's themes, as elsewhere in his writing, are the primacy of the intellect, the centrality of sex, and the hidden patterns and compositions of life discernible to those with the requisite artistic clairvoyance. Like the late writer Alan Booth, Richie is adept at drawing people out, coaxing his subjects into revealing more than they might have intended. "As always in Japan," he writes, "a little scratching under the asphalt highway or the concrete high-rise apartment house brings history bubbling to the surface."
This journey without companions is by turns both intensely introspective and uninhibited in its descriptions of the people Richie encounters. He adheres to the sound Cartesian principle that "what we perceive clearly and distinctly is true." Whether in the presence of silent fishermen, exuberant children or the mawkish prostitute he spends the night with in the grubby port town of Onomichi, or when befriending a tattooed delinquent banished by his family to the island of Inokuchi to serve as a Buddhist acolyte, Richie's portraits are consistently incisive.
"The Inland Sea" is perhaps one of the few travel books of its time that attempts to make sense of the sexual encounter as part of the travel experience. While a commercially motivated attempt has been made within the last decade to publish racy first-person accounts of this kind, many well-established travel writers have preferred to suppress or marginalize their sexual experiences, or to fabricate tantalizingly close, but ultimately unconsummated, encounters. Richie, traveling through the islands in the late '60s, was more honest, declaring that "part of my quest is devoted to seducing the natives — a travel adjunct observed by traveling foreigner and traveling native alike." On the import of sleeping with your subjects, the writer confides that "there are few better ways of learning the language, of taking the temperature of the land, of measuring the inner state of its inhabitants."
However much a manuscript is burnished for publishing, events resequenced or excised altogether, travel writing invariably preserves its highly associative character, content determined by serendipity, chance encounters, a continually engaged mind. This fits rather well with Richie's book, which is after all, not merely cultural geography, but also an informal study of the people of these islands whose way of life and thinking bears some resemblance to the process of travel itself: "the Japanese person we're talking with" Richie observes, "is ruminating in a circular fashion, where one thing suggests another and another." And then again, "Anything the Japanese mind creates is associative." This is a book that will teach outsiders a great deal about this country, and the Japanese, if they care to read it, a great deal about themselves.
Richie has given us a book that should, if it has not already, take its place in the permanent literature of the East.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 21, 2011 (HealthDay News) — Jack Whelan first knew something was wrong when it got harder and harder to walk from the train station in Boston to the financial district where he worked.
He knew something was terribly wrong when he started getting nose bleeds.
A consultation with an oncologist confirmed Whelan's fears: He had advanced Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, a rare form of blood cancer that affects only about 1,500 people in the United States each year.
Forty years ago, Whelan would have had five years to live — at the outside — and who knows what his quality of life would have looked like.
But today, five years after his diagnosis and almost 40 years to the day that President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act declaring "war" on cancer, Whelan, 63, is power-walking, raking leaves, shoveling snow and back at work as a marketing executive.
Whelan is just one of the millions of Americans who have benefited from continued advances in cancer research. He has participated in four different clinical trials and is currently taking an experimental drug called LBH589 which, Whelan said, makes him "feel like Popeye the sailor after having spinach."
Just this month, scientists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, where Whelan is being treated, discovered a single gene mutation present in 90 percent of patients who have this rare type of cancer, raising the hope that an even more targeted treatment will soon be able to attack the disease.
Since Dec. 23, 1971, and the passage in Congress of the National Cancer Act, research has made tremendous progress against what is still one of the world's foremost killers, experts say.
"Back at that time point, cancer essentially was a death sentence," said Dr. Raymond N. DuBois Jr., provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
That's no longer the case, however, thanks to advances in early detection, improved therapies and a better understanding of the genetics driving different forms of cancer, he said.
"Forty years ago, fewer than one-third of patients with a diagnosis of cancer lived five years. Almost no children with a diagnosis of the most common form of childhood cancer, acute leukemia, lived [that long]," said Dana-Farber president Dr. Edward Benz Jr. "In 2011, nearly 90 percent of children diagnosed with acute leukemia will be cured and nearly two-thirds of all people diagnosed with cancer will live at least five years."
Since 1991 alone, there's been more than an 18 percent reduction in deaths from cancer, added Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.

Notre Dame to ACC: 'Fighting Irish' a yawn in D.C.
In the week since Notre Dame and the Atlantic Coast Conference announced their asterisk-included union, the reaction has been a daily dose of, well, reaction – giddy reaction, mind you -- in most every ACC town on the map.
Sure, the Fighting Irish aren't "all in" for football as they are for all other sports, but a mandated five-game minimum against ACC members is something, and to have Notre Dame come to your campus every few years is no yawner.
And then there's us.
The D.C. area.
We don't get it. We don't get it because we see Notre Dame all the time, regardless of this ACC deal thing. As Big East members, the Irish were regular Georgetown hoops foes. Up the road in Annapolis, Notre Dame is just another annual football opponent, like Army.
We don't get it because the Nationals have the best record in Major League Baseball, because RG III is happening, because Alex Ovechkin isn't happening and because the Wizards, um, never mind.
Here's a telling example. On the one hand, John Feinstein, writing in the Washington Post earlier this week, more or less dismissed the significance of the union and credited Notre Dame for more or less playing the ACC.
He wrote: "Even though Notre Dame will play only five conference teams a season — which, for the record, is one more than it will play this season if you count incoming member Pittsburgh as an ACC team — one might think the ACC had just gone from a mediocre football conference to a top-drawer football conference. Guess what? The ACC just went from being a mediocre football conference to being a mediocre football conference — with a tad more glamour attached."
On the other hand, consider the opinion of noted columnist Mark Bradley, writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the hometown paper for ACC member Georgia Tech.
He wrote: "In yet another display of clever thinking, ACC commissioner John Swofford pursued the school that every conference would kill to get, but they approached Notre Dame at an angle. You can join our league and stay a football independent, he said, but you'll play five regular-season games against our membership and — big key — you'll be eligible for bowl selection as one of ours. . . There's no conference that wouldn't benefit from adding the biggest of brand names. John Swofford's conference is the one that did. On the day he spoke of "a changing landscape," he effected the biggest change."
And then there's this, from longtime Virginia sports columnist David Teel, writing in the Daily Press.
"Last September, Swofford called the ACC's additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse "monumental." He used the same word Wednesday. He was right then. He is more right now."
So, outside the Beltway, this is a big deal.
Inside the Beltway? Not so much.
Bottom line?
This is a big deal, and it's a good one for the ACC.

Saddened India tones down New Year revelry
NEW DELHI, India - The Indian armed forces on Monday, December 31, cancelled their New Year celebrations while many hotels and bars scaled back parties as the country prepared for 2013 still shocked by a deadly gang-rape.
"The Indian army, air force and navy have decided to cancel all the parties planned to welcome the new year. They want to dedicate the last day of the year to the gang-rape victim," a senior defense ministry official told AFP.
The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the decision was "voluntary" and no official order had come from the ministry.
In the capital, where the horrific crime took place on December 16, leading private members' club Gymkhana, where top officials and ministers are often seen, cancelled its party as did the Press Club in the capital.
The five-star Ashoka hotel in New Delhi also closed its popular nightclub, while other bar owners were quoted in the media as saying they were scaling back festivities.
"This New Year is not going to be the same for me and many of my friends," said Ashish Gupta, a 34-year-old chartered accountant who joined protests against the crime on Sunday.
"Our heart goes out to the family of the woman who fought for her life so bravely. The least we can do is show our respect and send out the message that we share their grief," he told AFP.
The unidentified woman, a 23-year-old medical student, was repeatedly raped on a moving bus in New Delhi on December 16 and violated with an iron bar before being thrown from the moving vehicle.
She died of her horrific injuries in a Singapore hospital on Saturday. - Rappler.com

For most flight department managers, the thought of navigating the maze of FAA rules to fly required navigation performance (RNP) approach procedures is enough to stop them dead in their tracks. That's the reason Honeywell has launched Go Direct Services, a turnkey consulting offering designed to help business jet operators take advantage of new RNP SAAAR (special aircraft and aircrew authorization required) procedures the FAA is adding at scores of airports around the U.S.
The benefit of an RNP SAAAR approach is that it can carve out a highly precise, curved path through the sky that usually results in lower landing minimums–sometimes much lower. But getting approval is a costly and complex endeavor requiring submittal of monthly operational reports to the FAA, pilot simulator training and operations manual revisions. Considering that fewer than 100 RNP SAAAR approaches have been published so far, most operators probably won't go to the trouble of gaining approval until their home airport has an RNP approach. But as more RNP procedures are created, operators who forego such approvals will be at a disadvantage compared with those who are SAAAR compliant.
The FAA plans to publish 60 new RNP SAAAR procedures per year for the next two years. Some airports scheduled to receive an RNP approach in the next 12 months include Teterboro, N.J.; Aspen and Eagle, Colo.; Monterey, Calif.; and Scottsdale, Ariz. If your airport or an airport you use often offers an RNP SAAAR approach, the approval can mean the difference between landing or having to execute the missed approach and consider other options.
Take, for example, the available approaches to Runway 31 at Sun Valley, Idaho. The normal decision altitude for the GPS approach is 1,790 feet versus 974 feet for the RNP SAAAR procedure. Even more dramatic is the case of Bishop, Calif., where a gently snaking RNP SAAAR flight path allows properly trained crews flying properly equipped airplanes to descend to 323 feet versus being saddled with a 2,227-foot minimum descent altitude using the previous approach, an LDA DME procedure that avoids high terrain on both sides at Eastern Sierra Regional Airport.
The major advantage RNP procedures have over other types of approach is their tighter lateral boundaries, which allow the creation of curved pathways through mountain valleys or by using so-called radius-to-fix (RF) turns to avoid terrain or obstacles.
The RNP SAAAR approach to Atlanta DeKalb-Peachtree Airport is a good example of the benefits RNP can provide. The approach to Runway 2R incorporates a continuous descending turn that is designed to avoid the tall towers that block the straight-in approach to the field. Due to the east-west flows at nearby Hartsfield-Jackson International, a straight-in ILS or WAAS LPV approach to this runway would be hard to implement, even if the obstacles southwest of the airport were removed.
While WAAS LPV approaches are excellent alternatives to traditional ILS procedures, they have performance limitations that prevent them from incorporating curved paths. The FAA's RNP program is aimed more at FMS-equipped operators who can fly curved RF legs. Honeywell's corporate flight department at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey became one of the first in the country to obtain approval for RNP SAAAR operations, gaining certification for its own Gulfstream G450 and G550. Since then Honeywell has been named an RNP SAAAR designated consultant, giving the company the authority to assist other operators and providing the opportunity to create the Go Direct branded service package.
The service offering is split into three categories, the first dealing with aircraft equipage, the second with the operational approval documentation that must be submitted to the FAA and the third with database validation and ongoing RNP SAAAR recordkeeping. Installing RNP-compliant avionics and uploading the latest FMS software adds to the cost of RNP compliance, as does the database validation and monthly record-keeping program. Additional simulator training is required as well, and all of the large training providers are offering RNP-specific courses. Although the process takes around three months to complete and requires additional pilot training, many operators can upgrade to RNP simply by loading new FMS software, according to Honeywell.
"RNP takes advantage of a lot of technology that has evolved over the last 30 years, such as inertial reference systems, GPS and FMS, but it sets a new performance standard here and now," said Chad Cundiff, vice president of crew interface products for Honeywell. "We want to help get more operators flying in the RNP environment because the capability is so amazing."
NBAA has provided the FAA with a list of RNP SAAAR procedures that would benefit business aircraft operators. Several of those approaches are in the process of being created now. Honeywell and Jeppesen worked with the FAA to create an RNP SAAAR approach to Morristown's Runway 5, primarily as an exercise aimed at showing what is involved in developing such procedures at an airport used predominantly by business aircraft operators. Honeywell never gained final approval for the approach, partly because the three major New York-area airports are undergoing a major traffic-flow redesign that may or may not fit with the RNP procedure as designed. After the New York airspace redesign is implemented, Honeywell likely will amend the Morristown RNP procedure as needed to gain approval for it, Cundiff said.
Most newer business jets equipped with Honeywell flight management systems can be upgraded for RNP through a software upload to version 6.1 (for NZ-series FMS equipment) or 7.1 (for Primus Epic-equipped aircraft), both of which will be available next year. Older airplanes might require a new FMS and perhaps other equipment such as an inertial sensor and upgraded GPS receiver. A WAAS GPS receiver is not specifically required, but having one eliminates the need to do a pre-departure RAIM (receiver autonomous integrity monitoring) check. For an FMS to meet the requirements of RNP, it needs to be able to fly a curved path. Also, when the pilot presses the go-around button, the FMS should be able to remain in the nav mode. This latter capability is being addressed through software updates, Cundiff said.
Five Gulfstream operators so far have involved Honeywell in the RNP SAAAR approval process. An operator who is interested in gaining operational approval for RNP can call Honeywell and set up a meeting to determine all that's required to meet the FAA's requirements. Honeywell representatives assist the operator with the RNP application as part of a "turnkey" service package included in a $90,000 upfront cost. For an additional cost Honeywell will also handle the database validation and monthly monitoring tasks that for an airline are normally handled by in-house personnel, as well as needed updates to the flight operations manual.
