Labor talks to return Wednesday
This time, NHL owners and players are staying apart for just one day.
Negotiations aimed at ended the league's lockout are expected to resume on Wednesday, following a brief break in talks. Before Monday night's 90-minute session, it had been eight days since the sides got together.
Whether the players' association will bring a new complete proposal, as requested by the NHL on Monday, to the next round of talks remained uncertain. But the union huddled for internal conversations after negotiations ended, and continued talking on Tuesday - pushing further bargaining back a day.
''It looks like tomorrow,'' NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email Tuesday. ''No other details at this point.''
The lockout entered its 66th day on Tuesday and has already wiped out 327 games. More cancellations could be coming soon without a new deal.
While neither side offered much insight following Monday night's talks, there didn't seem to be any of the anger that reportedly existed when the previous negotiations ended a week earlier. Both sides looked forward to when they would reconvene to try to reach the elusive deal that would end the lockout that has already shortened the season and threatens scrap it completely.
''We talked about various things,'' union executive director Donald Fehr said Monday. ''No new proposals were made, they were not expected to be made. We had hoped to engage them in a discussion about the player-contracting issues that are so important to the players. At least (Monday) they were unwilling to do that.''
The prevailing question is when will one side say something the other really wants to hear. These negotiations have been going for a while, yet there hasn't been any kind of breakthrough to pave the way to a new collective bargaining agreement.
Both sides know the lockout has inflicted a lot of damage on the sport that produced record revenues of over $3 billion last season. Every day of lost time is hurting everyone, and at some point owners and players will have to decide how much of the losses each side will have to absorb.
''I think every week is important in the process,'' Daly said Monday. ''I don't attach a particular significance to this week over last week or next week. I want to play tomorrow.''
The league contends it is waiting for the players to present a full proposal on all the major issues - including core economics and player contracting, which deals with the entry-level system, arbitration and free agency. After the request was made, the players' association asked for a break and the meeting adjourned soon after.
''We've never heard a full proposal from them,'' Daly said. ''They have given us a variation of the same proposal on economics a couple of times and there was no change in that position. They are still suggesting that they are moving in our direction on economics, but until we know exactly what their position is on economics now, we think it's all tied together and would like to hear it all together.''
Union representatives, along with 18 players who were in attendance, returned to the players' association office to have discussions among themselves. It is unclear if talks will continue through the Thanksgiving holiday if progress is made on Wednesday.
The players tried to put the focus on player-contract issues on Monday night before returning to specific revenue and economic areas, but the NHL wasn't interested in that because the league considers everything to be intertwined.
Neither side wants to agree to anything, or make concessions in one single area, without knowing how those will affect other parts of the CBA that still need to be negotiated.
''Our position all along has been on the player contracting issues that they become considerably more important to players as the cap becomes limited,'' Fehr said.
After turning down a suggestion from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to take a two-week break from negotiations, the union requested another meeting with the league. That produced Monday's get-together.
''We could've taken a couple of weeks off, I suppose,'' Fehr said. ''It's hard for me to see how you make an agreement if you aren't talking, so you talk. Sometimes it doesn't lead anywhere, and perhaps very often it doesn't lead anywhere, but if you aren't talking it's 100 percent sure it doesn't lead anywhere.
''They were willing to have the meeting if we said we wanted to meet. That is about as far as I can go.''
Daly said the NHL is always willing to listen if the players have something meaningful to say.
''We're never going to shut down the process,'' he said. ''If they think there is a reason to meet and we can make progress, we're happy to meet. That's what we told them and that's what led to today's meeting.''
It was the first bargaining session since Nov. 11, when a busy week of negotiating wrapped up without results. All games through Nov. 30 and the New Year's Day Winter Classic have been called off. More games - including the All-Star game in Columbus, Ohio - could soon be axed, too.
One area in which the NHL hasn't budged is in the area of guaranteed money to players. The league wants a percentage split of actual hockey-related revenue instead of a promised dollar amount to players based on projections of how the game will grow.
''If their proposal continues to be a guaranteed amount of player-share dollars, we have told them that that is not a proposal that is acceptable to us or would ever to be acceptable to our owners right now,'' Daly said. ''If that continues to be where we are, we are a long way apart.''

Arthur Frommer reacquires his guidebook brand from Google
April 4, 2013 | 2:57 pm
By Dan Eldridge
According to an Associated Press report that was filed less than three hours ago today, the travel publishing pioneer Arthur Frommer "said Wednesday that he has reacquired rights to his travel guidebook brand from Google, and that he intends to resume publishing Frommer guidebooks."
Back on the 22nd of March, we reported on the news that Google had decided to cease publishing all print editions of the Frommer's travel guidebooks, which it had acquired just seven months earlier from Wiley, the previous owner of the brand.
Now, it appears as if Arthur Frommer himself—a true trailblazer in the travel guidebook industry—has somehow managed to reacquire the rights to the brand he founded in 1957, and then subsequently sold to Simon & Schuster in 1977.
From the AP article:
Google [has] refused comment … but Arthur Frommer confirmed in a phone call from his home Wednesday night that he had reacquired rights to the brand. "It's a very happy time for me," Frommer, 83, told The Associated Press. "We will be publishing the Frommer travel guides in ebook and print formats and will also be operating the travel site Frommers.com."

Numerical calculation of interparticle forces arising in association with holographic assembly
JOSA A, Vol. 23, Issue 6, pp. 1419-1431 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (980 KB)
Recent advances in dynamic holography have resulted in spatial light modulators capable of producing an almost limitless variety of field distributions from a single incident beam. Holographic assembly is a technique that exploits this capability to generate and control multiple foci that can be used to trap and manipulate nanoparticles. Although the forces associated with conventional optical tweezers are well understood, the effects arising from the more complicated interactions associated with holographic assembly are not. We present a general and flexible method, based on T matrix theory, for investigating these effects and use it to calculate the forces between particles in a variety of optical environments.

There are days when I wonder if somehow or in some way I failed to recognize my bigotry in modern America. Actually, the expression "pluralism" was coined in a New Republic magazine in 1916 in an effort to recognize America in this era. At that point in time, 25% of Americans were either immigrants or children of immigrants, today the figure is about 8%. The issue of creating a society in which people of varying religions, colors and ethnic heritages has long been at the center of how to recognize differences while creating a sense of unity. I laugh when Americans today worry about Hispanic children in schools who come from parents who do not speak English. In my immigrant neighborhood, the merchants like my pop who had a butcher store spoke Yiddish, not English to their customers. Multiply by a factor of ten if you seek to compare the issue of multiculturalism in 1914 with that of today.
So, what happened to we children of immigrants? We joined the army and helped win World War II. We joined the Army and fought in Korea. We got jobs, we invented things, we help create new industries like television and we wound up living in neighborhoods with those who in our childhood were the enemy. Fight to ensure equality for all, but every so often take a deep breath and recognize that times have changed, are changing and will continue to change. The United States of America, for all its failures to aid those at the bottom and those seeking equality HAS made a few strides. Again, what has changed is simply not enough.

... some water and travel sweets and then browsed the shops. A purchase was made in Mango, a cheap t-shirt just because I do not have enough to wear! We sat and waited for our boarding gate instructions appeared the at 9:05am we were off to gate 33 and after a short wait we were on the aeroplane. We took very close notice of the directions given by the Norwegian air hostess who gave out how to use the several pieces of equipment that ...

I started playing chess a few weeks ago and I got Fritz 13. I am wondering if when you put it in "Handicap and Fun" mode, if the "playing strength" is equivalent to Elo ratings? According to this pdf http://www.chesscafe.com/text/lopez08.pdf it says the "playing strength" is an approximite Elo, but I am wondering if that is still accurate.
Emphasis on approximate. There is no program that simulates human play, so really the ratings aren't accurate. When you handicap the program it still orders all the legal moves from best to worst, the only difference is it will choose bad or less than great moves at random points in the game.
For example it may find a really good tactical move one moment then throw away some material the next move.
I was wondering because I have only been playing a few weeks and I the last several times I have beat it and it was set at 1800. The last game I took its queen in 14 moves, without losing any of my own pieces. I thought 1800 was a high Elo so I assumed that the playing strength must not be accurate, since I only started playing a few weeks ago.
Edit: now I also beat it at 2225 with the careless preset. I'm guessing the playing strength isn't accurate for the handicap mode. Does anyone else play Fritz handicap mode, and can you estimate a rough conversion to real Elo scores?
Indeed, the higher you set the elo, the stronger Fritz plays on Handicap and Fun, but at 1800 or 2000 (or higher) it makes silly tactical or positional errors which a human player at that level would not make. Play it that way and practice taking advantage of those mistakes or learn where you went wrong by playing back over the game with Fritz set on Infinite Analysis and be surprised at your own oversights.

It is very dangerous to catch a plane that has a prop. Also the radian is known to throw props and it could get you in the eye, etc. This is not a good idea. |
Sep 09, 2009, 05:33 PM | |
Great idea, Steve. Since I have two Radians you have got me to thinking that perhaps one of them should be converted into a Radian "U-2" strato soarer. Please keep us posted as to your progress...and a lot of photos.
This Radian could turn into being the foundation plane for numerous mods...like the MPX EasyStar. FS PS -- did you notice the photos of my "wing locks"? That could possibly be a perfect solution to holding the wings together in the fuselage. I also have a couple of photos posted on the EJS thread...post #28. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...1076640&page=2 Good luck FS |
Sep 09, 2009, 08:11 PM | |
I checked....the replacement wings are in stock at Horizon right now for less than $35. I predict they shortly will be out of stock once the followers of this thread get a look at Steve's work. I have a Cularis that I was going to start working on next week. Now, with this great looking mod taking shape, I am asking myself, "WHY".
Sep 09, 2009, 09:05 PM | |
Holy Dwarfer!
That 120" wing is a Dwarfer! It makes the Radian fuselage looks like a DLG's fuselage.
I'd do a couple of hand tosses and see what the turning characteristics are like. I hope there is enough fuselage length/tail surface to keep her tracking. The wings turned out nice! KC |
Sep 09, 2009, 11:08 PM | |
Steve, Steve, Steve, what have we done to you.
You started out with Sophisticated Lady and a Vista, got a taste of the Falcon 880 and the Ava. You have a Thermal Queen kit on the way and now this radical mod! Was it seeing the Aquila XL? Jack's Pike with the extended tips? Next thing we know you will have finally started on the Yankee Soar!!!!!! Looks VERY GOOD, can't wait to hear how it goes, well I hope because I would sure like to see it at the sod farm. I am going to guess that it will need a larger rudder but it seemed to have plenty of elevator. Maybe tape some cardboard to the rudder, about a 1" piece should work if you find it does not want to turn well. It will be an overcast not of monokote like Jim and I have but a "Foam Overcast!!!" See you Saturday or Sunday Joe |
Sep 10, 2009, 08:18 AM | ||
I doubt it is stock. If it's not, what prop, batteries and motor are you using? Any other mods to be able to do this? Awesome!!!! Frank |
Sep 10, 2009, 09:56 AM | |
seriosly, the plane is stock haha,
also, it hovers better on the 1300mah battery, cause its lighter than the 2200mah umm, the prop is the stock prop, the battery 2200mah 25c zippy flightmax, and original motor... all you have to do is put as much throw as possible on your radio, making sure you dont have the elevator/rudder hitting the other servo with the control horn inside the fuse, and it really is as simple as that i find a mix on the rudder stick, helps to bring the true hover feeling.... you just have to let her torque roll PS: Richard314 , as you can see, the propeler is always above my face, thus making it impossible if the prop broke, to go into my face... also, i have reinforced the prop with fiberglass tape anyhow... works well anyway, i will make a proper video eventually, unfortunately just recently, the stupid motor cracked for no reason, just when i got a new fuse, all i can think of is i tightened the screws too much, but sh*t happens as they say... so when the new motor arrives, i will make video someone else try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fox Mode Naruto
Awsome champ picks this week
Senior Member
The idea for Free Champion Rotation week is to make the new players try out all the champs. Instead of just handing all the champs out for everyone (which =Huge $$$ loss on Riot), it allows Riot to earn Big $$$$. Because most of the champs people want are 6300 IP and players can only buy runes with IP. Therefore, Riot is ultimately marketing people to buy RP to unlock champions. Riot is a company, they need all the $ they need.
Riot, this week's free champion rotation rocks! Amunu <3 BlitzCrank <3 Warwick <3 and Vayne <3 Udyr. Riven. Xerath. Miss Fort. Evelyn. and Leona. are prob the best ones.
why cant you have champions that havent been free in the past 2 weeks or such? there are a lot of heros that i want to try like; jayce, karma, alkali, oriana, etc. I dont want to pay for them because im not sure if they're right for me... in conclusion make different champions free.
Nostra Santer
Please RIOT please i want Draven for free next week!
I'm torn whenever my favorite champions, which is half of this rotation, are free for the week. On one hand, I facepalm when I see others miss out on the basics of those champions. On the other hand, I absolutely love destroying those same people and laugh while they struggle trying to trade with me.

Talk about stiffening up the car. Day/night difference in ride and handling. The strut tower bar and tunnel brace helped, but the 3-point sub-frame connectors really stopped all the "wiggling" associated with my Camaro convertible. Instead of the car flexing over ripples in the road, the suspension is soaking up the bumps. Car ride firm, but not punishing. Highly recommended.
Current Mods:

I really like these lift bars . wasn't hard at all to put in by myseft didn't take very long either 1 hour or so. If you are looking for some good lift bars at a good price , these are what you are looking for . They work really GOOD !!

I used these on my 1991 Notchback. I also used the torque box reinforcements and battle boxes. These fit so incredibly well, the subframes hug the contours of the vehicle. Incredibly beautiful for what they are, well that and my installation, see on my site, the completed install:

i am a sailor in the Royal Australian Navy and this incident which occurred in the Persian Gulf in the year 1988 involving the US Navy has interested me a lot. Here's the story: (a lot to read i know)
The story
It was during the Iran-Iraq war, US naval vessels were helping to escort ships through the Persian Gulf. Iranian gunboats had been harassing and attacking oil tankers and other ships going to and from Kuwait, Iraq's main ally (ironically). In order to keep the oil moving, the US had its ships escorting them under the US flag. That morning, the Navy frigate Montgomery was escorting through the Strait of Hormuzabout 32 miles (51.5 km) at the entrance, which opens into the Gulf of Oman.
Around 6:50 AM (local time), it reported about thirteen Iranian gunboats were going after one of the tankers and that (about twenty minutes later) explosions were heard near one of the tankers. The commander of the Joint Task Force-Middle East ordered the Vincennes north of its position to investigate (yet still south of the situation). The ship was also to stay out of any "action"the purpose was to have the ship's helicopter to do reconnaissance.
The helicopter approached, finding the gunboats harassing a German vessel. The commander of the Vincennes, Captain Will Rogers III, put his men on alert. Around 8:40, it was found that the ship had moved farther north (by about 40 miles/64.3 km) than it was supposed to and it was ordered to go south to its original position. Further, the Omani Coast Guard was also radioing the ship, stating that it was "not in accordance with innocent passage. Please leave Omani water". They gave warnings to the Iranians as well. A navy cameraman happened to be shooting videotape on the ship that day and caught the looks of dismissiveness on the faces of the officers as they ignored the Omani request.
Rogers did move the Vincennes but left the helicopter in the area to follow the gunboats, which began taking on antiaircraft fire. Rather than returning to the ship, the helicopter began "evasive action." When that message was received, Rogers had the ship rush north to the site. He felt that under the US rules of engagement, he was allowed to defend his helicopter (technically he was, but it was another piece of what became a fatal puzzle). At about 9:40, the ship crossed into Iranian territorial waters and engaged the gunboats.
Meanwhile, at Bandar Abbas airport, the Iran Air flight 655 was readying to take off for a routine flight to Dubai. The airport had a dual use, serving both civilian and military flights. Because of this (and the mounting "situation"), the unsuspecting airbus with 290 passengers was immediately listed as being "assumed hostile." The Aegis computer started tracking it. Its (scheduled) flight would cross over the Vincennes. (Interestingly, the USS Sides tracked it as a civilian plane, being the first to suggest that was what had been shot down.)
The Vincennes sent out IFF ("Identifyfriend or foe") messages, getting no reply (see below). They also sent out seven "warning" messages, four on military bands, three on civilian (the USS Sides sent five of its own). Still no reply. Being a nonmilitary flight coming from an airport that had both civilian and military flights, would make it unlikely it would respond to a message on a military band and it was not uncommon for American queries to be ignored by civilian flights (reportedly, the navy would send warnings to just about any flight, regardless of their position or direction). Also, there was a lot of air control talk filling the various bandwidths. Further, the civilian tower at Bandar Abbas had not been monitoring the military onethey were not aware of the battle going on only 55 miles (88.5 km) away. Of course, one has to question why the plane would respond to "Iranian F-14, this is USN warship heading 199, 20 miles. Request you change course immediately".
At 9:51, an IFF "reply" was received. A military one. At that time it was upgraded to "hostile." It is likely that the reply came from one of the military planes at the airportor elsewhere, given a range of 200 miles/321.8 km (apparently, the range on the IFF had not been reset as it should have been). One of the things in the minds of the crew of the Vincennes was the incident with the USS Stark, when an Iraqi Mirage accidentally shot the ship, killing thirty-seven crew members (after having been "warned" by the Stark).
When the plane (now thought to be an F-14) got within 20 miles (32.1 km) of the ship (about 10:00), two missiles were fired, destroying the plane and its passengers (it landed about 6 miles/9.6 km from the ship). One man on the ship, reportedly noted that the wreckage was too big to have been a small fighter. On the Montgomery, crewmen witnessed the wing (engine still attached) land in the sea. It was no F-14 (which probably couldn't have done significant damage to the ship as the planes sold to Iran by the US were built for attacking other fighters, not ground targets).
The following day, the Pentagon held a news conference on the incident. After originally having flatly denied Iran's version of the event, saying that it had shot down an F-14 fighter and not a civilian aircraft, the State Department (after a review of the evidence) admitted the downing of Iran Air 655. It was claimed that the plane had "strayed too close to two U.S. Navy warships that were engaged in a battle with Iranian gunboats" and, according to the spokesman, that the "proper defensive action" was taken (in part) because the "suspect aircraft was outside the prescribed commercial air corridor" (Washington Post).
That it "strayed" from its normal, scheduled flight path is factually incorrect. And so was the claim that it was heading right for the ship and "descending" (emphasis, mine) toward itit was ascending. Another "error" was the contention that it took place in international waters (it did not, a fact only later admitted by the government). Incorrect maps were used when Congress was briefed on the incident.
Crowe asserted that "we were extremely careful to keep Congress informed" and that "we notified Congress accurately and speedily of all our engagementswhether the news was good or bad." He admitted that "mistakes" were made that morning "and in the time that followed," but that "making mistakes is a long step from a deliberate 'cover-up.'" As for being in Iranian territorial waters (as noted, one of those "mistakes" presented to the publicCrowe claiming it was admitted to in the classified report to Congress), "a warship acting in self defense has the right under international law to enter the aggressor waters and defend itself." That the ship, under the rules of engagement, was "clearly permitted entering Iran's waters if his ship was under imminent threat or engaged." That the Vincennes was not under "imminent threat" (at least from the plane) or supposed to be actively engaging itself, seems forgotten.
Because they were relying on electronic monitoring (there was no visual confirmation of anything until it was hit), there was no way to distinguish the plane from a "hostile." On the other hand, planes from the carrier the USS Forrestal had been launched around 9:38, in case they would be needed (upon hearing the news of the helicopter taking fire). They were not to engage but could have been used to get a confirmation on the "hostile." As with the Sides, the men on the Forestall believed it to be a commercial flight and the planes were held back.
Rogers' misinterpretations/direct disobeying of orders (and requests from Oman) as well as his insistence on leaving the helicopter in the area were part of the equation. As was the helicopter remaining near the gunboats following its being fired upon. Once the helicopter could be extricated, a better choice of action would have been to disengage.
Commercial flights in the Gulf were not routinely monitored by the naval forces in the area (a fundamental error given the circumstances; it was corrected in the wake of the tragedy). Someone somehow missed the flight listing for 655 in the navy's schedule of commercial airline flights. At some point in the control room, someone reportedly "shouted out 'Possible COMAIR'": a commercial air line. Questions of whether there had been adequate training for the men also came up during the investigation. Information was available or relatively easily obtained. Safeguards should have been in place.
That replies from the pilot of the Iranian airplane could have defused the situation is also clear. But his actions were not alone in when eventually happened (nor was he wielding deadly force). The State Department placed a vast majority of the blame on the pilot (at least initially) as would be expected. On the Nightline program, Crowe spoke of the "Iranian role in the Airbus tragedy," charging that "there was no coordination between Iranian surface raiders and civil air authorities. The tower at Bandar Abbas airport did not monitor emergency frequencies and therefore failed to alert the pilots of the Airbus."
The US had compensated non-Iranian victims about 2.9 million dollars (not acknowledging any responsibility) but nothing to Iranian family members. In 1996, a 131.8 million dollar settlement was reached that included the ignored families (61.8 million). Seventy million was to be put into bank accounts and used to "pay off private U.S. claims against Iran and Iran's expenses for the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal, which is handling the claims." The US stated it was for claims "involving banking matters, not the airliner," while Iran said that 30 million was for the plane (collegian.ksu.edu).
First i would like to talk about some of the roles in the operations room (ops room).
Air Picture Supervisor (APS)- The APS marks all the Air contacts on his combat system (RADAR display) and gives them a sign (Assumed friend, friend, assumed hostile, hostile etc.) and reports this to the PWO.
Principle Warfare Officer (PWO)- This guy supervises the APS (and pretty much all of the warfare related occurences in the ops room) and in the case of Vincennes the PWO should have checked and double checked the hostile contact and made sure that it was hostile.
What should usually happen is when a contact is tagged as hostile, it should be checked by the PWO and double checked by the AWO etc.
Now IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) is something that is emitted from a contact (in this case an aircraft) and tells the ops room if it is either a civilian or military contact. The APS should have received the IFF as being civilian but as stated in the story above, the airport was used by both military and civilian. So what most likely happened is that the APS picked up IFF from the wrong contact and did not double check it which was a huge mistake that the PWO should have rectified.
So now Vincennes had what they thought to be an F-14 coming towards them in retaliation to the fire fight between the helo and Iranian gunboats.
The captain of Vincennes therefore gave the order to fire on the suspected F-14 which i think was purely idiotic. When a ship locks onto a target that it is about to blow up with missiles the RADAR illuminates the target which in an F-14 would start bleeping alarms in the cockpit warning the pilot to get the hell out of the way. but the aircraft did not change course because it was not an F-14. they say they shot it down at 20 miles away which is way way way to close for any experienced fighter pilot to be. if the aircraft was indeed hostile and wanted to harm the Vincennes then it would have let go a few missiles a lot further away then at the range it was and then altered its course. But the aircraft kept on its course.
The Vincennes sent out radio transmissions on military frequencies and emergency frequencies etc to the aircraft but because this aircraft was a civilian airbus and not a military aircraft it did not receive the military transmissions. and so the Vincennes made a decision which cost the lives of 290 people 66 of which were children.
The Vincennes was in Iran territorial waters when they shot down this civilian flight and i put it down to the captain of the Vincennes to being to gun happy and entering Iran's territorial waters just to provoke the Iranian gunboats more.
the crew and the captain of the Vincennes received awards for their work that day in the gulf, and the American Government has still til this day, not made any apology or even admitted that they were in the wrong.
there are a few conspiracies about this day that are going around about the American Government Purposely Provoking the Iranians in their own waters to start conflict so that they could aid Iraq in their war against Iran etc.
Besides these conspiracies it could be put down to a lot of human error that just had a domino effect which ended in the loss of 290 civilian lives.
i want to know what everyone thinks about this and i'm not use to writing forum posts this in depth so please tell me if i have missed out anything you would want to know or if i have made any errors. and any questions ill be happy to answer or find out for you.

United States Attorney NewsFormer Human Rights Commission employee enters plea deal in child pornographyLarry Brinkin, who used to work for the Human Rights Commission of San Francisco, entered into a plea deal agreement on his child pornography charges. The plea deal saw a second charge of child pornography distribution dropped against the 67-year-old Brinkin. Under the plea deal, Brinkin will spend six months behind bars and another six months of house arrest. Afterwhich, he will undergo probation for four years. Brinkin, who is a staunch supporter of the LGBT advocacy, will also be entered in the list of sexual offender and is ordered to go through therapy. Randall Knox, an attorney in San Francisco, said that Brinkin has been deeply sorry for what he has done and has fully understood the damage that child pornography can inflict on victims. Ex-cab driver agrees to plea deal in murder chargesA plea deal agreement has Broderick Kenyo Smith admitting to manslaughter instead of capital murder in the death of Arlando Maurice Pritchett in 2012. The plea agreement will have Smith serving just a year in jail for a split sentence of 10 years. His jail stay will be followed with probation for three years. Should Smith violate his probation, he could be made to serve the rest of his 10-year sentence. According to the police, Pritchett had an argument with a cab driver prior to his shooting while Smith admitted that he had been driving a cab during the time of the incident. Birmingham defense attorney Charles Salvagio said Smith had shot Pritchett because the latter had robbed him. No bail for man who knocked down a 79YO black manThe bail application of Conrad Barret, who is charged with a hate crime, was denied, something that Barret's lawyer said they have been expecting. Houston criminal attorney George Parnham said that according to the judge, his 27-year-old client might avoid a criminal conviction. He also poses as a danger to the public. Barret was charged after he attacked an old, black man; filmed the act and showed it to someone, who turned out to be an arson investigator. Barrett is looking at more than a 10-year prison term and a fine of more than $200,000 should he get convicted. Famous dealer of wine convicted for fraudThe jury returned a guilty verdict against Rudy Kurniawan, a star wine collector, for faking vintage wines, which he apparently just manufactured from his home. Kurniawan was convicted for fraud and is looking at a massive 40-year sentence. Kurniawan was once known as among the top five collectors of wine in the world. Prosecutors accused Kurniawan of earning millions from selling and auctioning fake vintage wines. Found in the home that Kurniawan shared with his mother were unlabeled bottles and labels of Burgundy and Bordeaux wines. Suspicions against Kurniawan started during an auction in 2008 wherein he offered to sell Domaine Ponsot wines. But it wasn't until a 2012 wine auction in London that Kurniawan was arrested. Los Angeles criminal lawyer Jerome Mooney, defending for Kurniawan, said his client was not trying to defraud people. Instead, all he wanted was to belong. 16-year-old charged with hate crime, will be tried as an adultRichard Thomas may only be 16 years old but he will be facing the charges filed against him as an adult. Thomas is facing several charges including "hate crime" after he set another teenager, Luke "Sasha" Fleischman, 18, on fire. Both were riding on a bus when the incident happened with Fleischman wearing a skirt. Fleischman's parents said their son does not identify himself either as a male or female. According to police, Thomas had told them he set Fleischman on fire because he is homophobic. San Francisco defense attorney Michael Cardoza said his client, Thomas, if convicted would be facing a longer sentence because of the hate crime charge. |

Project Focus Areas
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Agribusiness Project (UAP) is an initiative of the USAID in collaboration with the Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF), a Section 42 Company registered under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. The project aims at enhanced competiveness of agricultural value chains in Pakistan with a focus on horticulture and livestock including dairy, meat and fisheries. Since Pakistan's economy is agrarian in nature, at primary, secondary and tertiary levels of production, the overriding objective of USAID's Agribusiness Project is to support and create improved conditions for broad-based economic growth in Pakistan and to create employment opportunities for poverty alleviation.
Project Update
In the first year of this five year project, UAP is focusing on providing technical assistance in order to ensure agribusiness capacity building and towards developing a partnership window through cost-sharing grants for innovative farmers. Currently UAP has issued expressions of interest (EOIs) for its various categories of grants and is conducting Global G.A.P. and other standardized certifications for farmers and growers. Various environmental assessment scoping (EAS) exercises are also being conducted for mitigation measures to be adopted in the grants proposals.

Very Durable Trash Receptical BMY004 from Constitution State Very nice trash can. I ordered a push top but instead received a swing top - Nothing major but a push top is what was pictured, not a wing top. The trash can was a lot smaller than I imagined but the dimensions were right. If you need something a bit larger or anticipate a lot of trash go with a higher size. The stainless steel finish is beautiful. This is the most gorgeous looking trash can I have ever used and it will last forever. The stainless steel top lid attracts fingerprints smudges so you may have to wipe it down more than usual |

If you have supported NORD with a donation at any time during its 31+ year history, we thank you. The wonderful work that NORD has accomplished since 1983 on behalf of rare disease patients and their families wouldn't have been possible without the support of many caring individuals.
NORD works very hard to be a careful steward of donated funds, keeping operating costs low so that 95 cents of every dollar goes directly to programs and services for patients.
We know that you receive many solicitations for contributions at this time of year, but we believe that NORD has earned a place at the top of your list through its history of dedicated leadership and service.
And we are excited to tell you about two unique opportunities to drive progress for patients in 2015: promoting state-based advocacy through NORD's Rare Action Network™ (RAN) and advancing research with an innovative new platform NORD has developed for patient registries and natural history studies. read more >
Alena Galan is a happy 16-year old girl full of life and wise beyond her years. She can light up a room with her quick-witted charm and energetic personality. She loves to sing, dance, play guitar and violin, and like most teenagers, enjoys spending time with friends. Alena has a deep-rooted appreciation of life and cherishes every moment – all with good reason.
On January 24, 2002 Dr. Robert Marion, director of Children's Evaluation & Research Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine diagnosed Alena with mucopolysaccharidoses VI (MPS VI) or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder. Individuals with MPS VI do not produce the enzyme that carries all the impurities out of their body. This causes thickening of the bones, breathing difficulties, and ceases normal human growth and development. Symptoms gradually worsen over time, and individuals with MPS VI usually do not survive past 25-years old.
The news devastated Marcia Galan, who adopted three-year old Alena from a Russian orphanage just seven weeks earlier. At the time, Alena – who remarkably resembled Marcia – seemed to be healthy and happy. They immediately bonded as mother and daughter. Shortly after bringing Alena home to the U.S., a pediatrician who specializes in Russian adoptees observed several abnormalities, including a heart murmur, which led to further evaluations and the MPS VI diagnosis. read more >
Before members of Congress pack up and go home for the holidays in December, there's one important thing they need to do: Complete the reauthorization of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act.
At the start of this Congressional year, reauthorization of this very successful legislation appeared to be a slam-dunk. The value of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act has been well documented.
Both the House and Senate passed reauthorization bills with little fanfare. But now the legislation has become stalled in the Senate, and it is not at all certain that the impasse will be resolved before the end of this Congressional season.
To leave this critically important matter in limbo would be a disservice to all Americans … and, in particular, to the rare disease community.
The Monaco family's story illustrates why newborn screening is important. In 2001, son Stephen went to bed one evening a lively and precocious toddler. By morning, he was in medical crisis, his life forever compromised by a "silent" disease that no one knew he had.
Stephen's sister, Caroline, leads a normal, active life today as a result of newborn screening that made possible proactive measures to protect her. In addition to the tragic loss of Stephen's ability to fulfill his early promise, this story also has an economic component. Stephen will need a lifetime of sophisticated medical care, whereas a major part of Caroline's treatment is simply a modified diet.
On behalf of all the Stephens and Carolines in this world, NORD is inviting everyone to join us in letting Congress know that newborn screening is important to us. We have sent a letter to Congress signed by more than 70 organizations and rare disease medical experts.
In addition, our policy team has drafted an email that you can easily personalize and send to your Congressional representatives today. Please consider joining us in this important effort.
Send an email to your members of Congress.

Vanessa Devore's father, Octavio Armenta was never diagnosed, and neither was her grandfather. Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, she represents a legacy of fighters against an unknown disease, as the pioneer in her family who received the first diagnosis.
Eleven years ago, Vanessa moved to Chicago, Illinois. While pregnant with twins, she began to experience some unusual symptoms. "I started to feel weird," Vanessa recalls. Her severe fatigue, indigestion, and hot and cold flashes couldn't merely be attributed to her pregnancy. "Sometimes, I had to keep three blankets on the bed to wrap myself in, in case I had to get up in the middle of the night." Many doctors took note of her symptoms, and diagnosed her with either anxiety or depression, prescribing the appropriate medications. "I knew that's not what was going on," says Vanessa. "It was frustrating, having so many doctors dismissing my symptoms as something that simple."
Vanessa's search for answers came to an end when she visited the Division of Endocrinology at Northwestern. A genetic test confirmed that she suffers from multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1). It's a hereditary disorder, characterized by one of 1,300 possible mutations of the MEN-1 gene, which is involved in the production of the protein menin. Menin is responsible for controlling the speed and regularity of cell division, so the absence or malformation of menin can cause tumor growth, often benign, and in the endocrine glands. These tumors can cause hormone irregularities, which can lead to a wide range of symptoms, which can sometimes be regulated. However, MEN-1 has no cure, and is considered a rare disorder, affecting about only 1 in 30,000. read more >
On February 20th, 2013, Eliza and John Rista of Huntersville, North Carolina were blessed with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and a healthy, full-term baby boy weighing 8 pounds and 6 ounces. "Around midnight on the day of my son's birth, my husband and I were alone in our room taking turns holding our baby and marveling at how he could be so incredibly perfect, beautiful, and special," Eliza reflects.
They were blissfully unaware that in a few hours, their baby would be fighting for his life in the neonatal intensive care unit. He was given oxygen, then a ventilator and nitric oxide, and finally extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) before all options were exhausted. "After twelve of the most terrifying and beautiful days of our lives, Johnny was gently handed to us, wrapped in a blue blanket knitted by his grandmother, and we lovingly held him in our arms as he went to heaven peacefully."
What could have compromised the life of a healthy baby boy so suddenly and unexpectedly? A microscopic lung disease, called alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD). This rare genetic disorder is characterized by a malformation of the air-blood diffusion barrier in the newborn lung, and is often associated with a misalignment of pulmonary veins. This abnormal barrier causes developmental problems in the infant's pulmonary vasculature and heart, leading to a lack of oxygen (hypoxemia).
This is most commonly a result of one of two general types of genetic abnormalities, the first being a mutation on the FOXF1 gene on chromosome 16, and the second being a deletion in the areas of chromosome 16 that regulate the expression of the FOXF1 gene. ACD is extremely difficult to diagnose, as it's only confirmed through biopsy or autopsy, and perhaps in part because of that, there have been less than 400 recognized cases since 1948. Almost every case leads to an infant fatality. read more >
