April 6, 2007
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The Hockey Humanitarian Foundation announced today that Yale senior forward Kristin Savard (Framingham, Mass.) is the recipient of the 2007 Hockey Humanitarian Award, presented by the Mellon Financial Corporation. Savard is the 12th recipient of the award, which was created to recognize college hockey players -- male or female -- who give back to their communities in the true humanitarian spirit. She was recognized tonight in a ceremony at Scottrade Center, site of the NCAA men's ice hockey Frozen Four, in conjunction with the Hobey Baker Award presentation and the Pontiac Frozen Four Skills Challenge.
Savard founded "Teaming Up", Yale's effort to raise awareness for improving maternal health in the developing world -- a project she hopes to expand to other schools and teams. Of all the health statistics monitored by the World Health Organization, maternal mortality represents the largest discrepancy between developed and developing nations. Approximately 600,000 women die each year from pregnancy-related complications, and 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries. Most of these deaths are preventable.
"After hearing such startling statistics, you can't help but wonder what more can be done - how can you make a difference?" Savard said. "As I considered how to go about raising awareness, I realized that my strongest resource at Yale was our hockey team."
Led by Savard, Yale raised money to enable the women of the Keiskamma community in South Africa to partake in the UbuMama program. UbuMama ("motherhood") is an arts-based initiative in which women produce a maternity gown depicting the challenges of motherhood. The garments are used as instruments to gain support for the cause.
Dozens of communities have expressed interest in the UbuMama program but lack the funding to implement it -- thus "Teaming Up". The Yale women's ice hockey team encouraged fans to pledge a donation for each goal the team scored (a school-record 96) as part of its "Goals for Goals" campaign to aid the women of Keiskamma.
Savard also helped organize efforts to raise funds by other teams at Yale, including the women's swimming & diving team and the women's lacrosse team. She plans to apply for grants and continue looking for ways to fund the project to continue its growth.
"Kristin Savard is an extraordinary student-athlete," said Yale head coach Hilary Witt. "I am confident that, long after she graduates this spring, she will continue to do her part to make the world a better place."
Savard first became involved with the issue of maternal health this past summer when she worked for Imagine Chicago, a non-profit organization that works with community groups to implement innovative civic projects. Working directly with Imagine Chicago's president, Bliss Browne, she attended numerous conferences, documented Imagine Chicago projects from around the world (Imagine Nepal, Imagine Cape Town, etc.) and edited a book about Imagine Chicago's approach to community involvement.
In addition to her work on Teaming Up, Savard is in her second year serving on Yale's Thomas W. Ford '42 Student-Athlete Community Outreach Committee, an organization designed to bring Yale student-athletes and the New Haven community together. Among the committee's projects are a holiday toy drive and two annual Yale Athletics Youth Days in which local children use Yale's facilities with coaching from student-athletes.
Savard and her teammates also participated in "Skate with the Players" events, giving local youths the chance to skate with Yale players. The team has also taken part in the Relay for Life, raising money for the American Cancer Society.
Savard spent two years as a tutor for first-graders at a New Haven elementary school. She also worked at Dynamic Skating hockey camps each summer throughout high school and until last year, when she was away working for Imagine Chicago.
Savard was named as one of five Hockey Humanitarian finalists in January, joining Ohio State's Jody Heywood, Wisconsin's Andrew Joudrey, RPI's Kirk MacDonald and Clarkson's Lindsay Williams. Savard was the third Bulldog to earn finalist status in the last eight years, following Deanna McDevitt in 2003 and Julianna Schantz-Dunn in 2000. Yale women's hockey has had more finalists than any other program in the country -- men's or women's -- in that span.
"What impresses me the most about Kristin is that she does all of these things in the most humble way," said Witt. "She does not brag about her community involvement or expect others to pat her on the back. She puts her time and effort into these projects because she feels it is the right thing to do and that she can make a difference."
A political science major, Savard is a three-time ECAC All-Academic selection. She has been a part of a renaissance on the ice for the Bulldogs, who won more games in her class' four seasons (54) than any other four-year period in school history. During her time here Yale set the school record for wins in a season (16, 2004-05) and made its first trip to the ECAC semifinals (2004-05).
Savard finished her career fourth all-time at Yale in assists (54), tied for fifth in points (93) and eighth in goals (39). She was an ECAC All-Star selection in 2005, competing against Team USA in an exhibition match at Ingalls Rink. She was named to the ECAC All-Rookie Team as a freshman and won Yale's Coaches' Award, given to the player who has shown the most grit and determination, as a sophomore. She earned a spot in the USA Hockey Women's Festival in the summer of 2004, playing with and against several U.S. Olympians in a round-robin tournament.
"For everything that hockey has given me, I can not give back enough," Savard said. "For the opportunity to be at Yale, for the friends I have made and the lessons I have learned, I can not give back enough. But I will do what I can."

Dr Nerida Jarkey
BA (Australian National University); PhD.
Senior Lecturer
Member of Sydney Southeast Asia Centre
A18 - Brennan MacCallum Building
The University of Sydney
|+61 2 9351 6805
Biographical details
Nerida's first degree program was a BA (Asian Studies) at the Australian National University, from which she graduated in 1983 with First Class Honours and a University Medal. She completed her PhD in Linguistics at the University of Sydney in 1991. In 1992 and 1993, she lived in Sweden, and taught linguistics and writing in the Department of English at the University of Uppsala.
Since 1994, Nerida has worked in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney. In addition to her position in Japanese Studies, she has held the roles of Director of First Year Learning and Teaching (2003 – 2007) and Director of Student Support Programs (2008 – 2011). At the University level, Nerida served as Director of Learning and Teaching for the Humanities and Social Sciences (2004 – 2006), and as chair of the University's First Year Experience Working Group (2006 – 2012).
Nerida is Editor for Language and Sociolinguistics for the journal Japanese Studies.
Research interests
With a primary interest in Asian area linguistics, Nerida's research focuses on two languages: Japanese and Hmong. She is concerned with the ways in which speakers use grammar to convey meaning, and how this might relate to cognition, culture and the expression of social identity. Nerida's research gives particular attention to multi-verb constructions, and to the theory of semantic transitivity, by which transitivity is viewed not simply as a 'black and white' issue associated with a single verb, but as a scalar property related to the entire clause.
In the field of tertiary learning, Nerida's research has focused on the first year experience. Here, her aim is not only to develop an understanding of students' experiences, but to investigate practices that can improve those experiences.
Teaching and supervision
At the undergraduate level, Nerida currently teaches grammar for Japanese 5 and 6, as well as 'Japanese Sociolinguistics'. For postgraduate students, she offers the Asian Studies unit 'Cross-Cultural Communication in Asia', which is a core unit in the Masters of Cross-Cultural Communication program.
Nerida has supervised or is currently supervising research in the areas of: semantic transitivity and aktionsart; voice, tense, modality and aspect; verb and clause linkage; illocutionary particles; personal pronouns; conversation analysis, discourse analysis, politeness, speech acts and gendered language; and language death. She is delighted to discuss honours or postgraduate research with students interested in topics in Japanese or Asian area linguistics.

Current projects
Nerida is currently working on a book on the topic of Serial Verb Constructions in White Hmong, which will be published by Brill. She is also finalising a chapter entitled 'The Housewife's Companion: Identity Construction in a Japanese women's magazine', which will contribute to an edited volume, Language and Identity Across Modes of Communication, to be published by Mouton.
Awards and honours
- Nerida received the University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor's Award for Learning and Teaching in 2002, and was a finalist in that year in the Australian Awards for University Teaching.
- The Arts Network Mentoring Program, which Nerida established and coordinated, won the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Support for the Student Experience in 2006.

Up front: October 2011
Numbers have special power, not the least their ability to measure more precisely than words. Nowhere is this truer than in business, where language is blunted into jargon, ground down to buzzwords, with figures often the only tools that keep their edge. But numbers also can have special meaning that sum up more than mere count or amount. For me, 30 is one such, signifying both endings and beginnings, as well as endings that were beginnings.
When I started as a reporter in the late '60s, old-timers still concluded their stories by typing – 30 –, origin of which was telegrapher shorthand for "end." And 30 was the age at which I set out for a fellowship in New York, followed by five years as an editor at The Miami Herald, a journey that led me to know that where I wanted to go was the place I had left. That eventually brought me home, to this magazine, and a career chronicling my native state's economic evolution.
In my first column as editor, I wrote this: "Even the most cursory examination of the state's economy shows that change is something we all must face. It is not the most comfortable of conditions: With change comes uncertainty. Change also brings with it opportunity — for those brave enough, wise enough to make the most of its challenges." Change remains the only constant, whether it's Wachovia's brand fading away after 132 years or United Technologies buying Goodrich, news that broke after we put to bed our feature on 30 influential business figures — one of them the Charlotte-based aerospace company's CEO.
The number 30 on the cover of this issue is a testament to the vision of Whitney Shaw, who started this magazine three decades ago, and to the scores of people, staff members past and present, whose talent and toil sustained it. There have been so many who have done so much that listing them and their contributions would overflow this page. Would it border on blasphemy to say their name is legion? Because each of them worked like a demon to make BNC the best it could be.
But all their effort would have been in vain if not for those whose number is even greater: hundreds of advertisers and thousands of readers who supported us through good times and bad. A business magazine is first and foremost a business, one that is in no way immune to the forces that cause some ventures to succeed and others to fail. You're the reason the 30 on the cover does not mean "end." It marks another beginning, akin to what newspapermen typed at the end of each page to note that the story they were writing was not finished:

Subregion: Marina Vallarta
Marina Vallarta began with a dream of creating a new level of life on Banderas Bay, where sailboats, yachts and fishing craft could count on a safe harbor. Today, it is a first-class, planned real estate community including both homes and condominiums, shopping mall, an American school and first-class hotels, centered around a marina and an 18-hole golf course. Marina Vallarta's real estate opportunities include marina, oceanfront and fairway homes and condominiums for sale, with oceanfront condominium towers being the newest developments.
Work on the marina itself, with 450 boat slips, began in 1986. And by 1990, the marina was in full swing, even though it was 1993 before it was completed. Today, there are high-rise condominiums along the shoreline, marina-front condos, and homes and small development condominiums along the fairways of the Marina Vallarta golf course. It's an excellent location that's close to the airport and not far from downtown Puerto Vallarta, from shopping available close by at Plaza Marina or at the shopping centers Galerías Vallarta near the port or La Isla in the Hotel Zone.

The Suzuki DR-Z400SM is a single cylinder 400cc motard. It was derived from Suzuki's DR-Z400S which is a dual purpose bike however Suzuki invested effort into their motard to make it appealing to the motard man. They didn't just take the 400S and make cosmetic changes, instead they gave the SM 17 inch rims with sticky rubber, a motard styled front mud guard, a larger front brake and adjustable inverted Showa forks at the front teamed up with the swingarm derived from the RM250 racer.
This gives Suzuki's production motard a unique feel and makes it a very appealing bike to ride. Although this is not a purebred motard racer, it still features the characteristics of racing motards as well as the road legal requirements such as lights, indicators and a horn.
Suzuki was one of the first major Japanese motorcycle companies to introduce a motard to their product line and it has opened the door for further interest in the Motard segment. It is an affordable bike that offers practicality, and efficiency. Not only is it easy to ride but it is also compact and light making it very easy to maneuver in and out of traffic. It is an absolute dream to throw around in the congested urban jungle and one often feels sorry for everyone stuck in their tin boxes while the SM blasts past.
The liquid cooled 398cc DOHC single cylinder engine is fed by a single Mikuni carburetor with a compression ratio of 11.3:1 giving it a max power output of 29.2 KW's or 40HP. This allows for rapid acceleration and a top speed of 145km/h. The power delivery in the 400SM is very well suited to town riding as there is a steady delivery of torque throughout the rev range but thanks to the taller final gear highway commuting is also made easier.
The close ratio 5 speed box is also very easy to operate and gear changes are smooth and slick. This close ratio set up allows for the rider to take advantage of maximum power output almost from pull off thanks to the short first gear. The clutch is also vey easy to use even though it is cable operated.
An amazing characteristic of the 400SM is its smoothness considering this is a large single cylinder motor. The engine idles and revs up with minimal shake which helps to sustain rider comfort and makes low down acceleration much more usable. Something that is hard to find in large capacity single cylinders. This adds to the bikes charm as an everyday commuter. Also because the bike has a carburetor instead of fuel injection and a cable clutch instead of hydraulic, production costs are kept down, making it very affordable when compared to other more sophisticated Motards. But don't think that this detracts from the experience because the difference is hardly noticed between the average rider.
The styling of the 400SM is unmistakably motard, with renthal tapered aluminum handlebars and black 17 inch wheels with a 140 section rear tyre and shortened front fenders. The shocks also have lots of travel and they are able to soak up heavily rutted and damaged road. The riding position is also very comfortable however the narrow seat starts affecting the rear end after about 30km's. The digital dash layout features an odometer, speedometer, and twin trip meters with timing clocks. However it would be nice to include a rev counter as well for the more conservative rider.
All these features give the 400SM the ability to split the traffic with ease whilst also blast through tight corners. What would usually be a dreary trip to the office turns into a mixture of adrenalin and excitement. It is very easy to flick through right and left sweeps and speed bumps and curbs are no longer obstacles. Although I feel the 400SM could do with a bit more HP, this motor has been around for a number of years now and thus aftermarket add-ons and plentiful.
All together though the 400SM is a very user friendly bike that offers excitement and everyday practicality, teamed with aggressive motard styling this bike appeals to the commuter who wants to have fun on the way to work whilst avoiding traffic and high fuel bills. It accommodates for the enthusiastic rider while also appealing to the everyday commuter, something that is hard to achieve for an affordable price.

23 Kan. App. 2d 664
No. 77,6811
WESTERN RESOURCES, INC., Petitioner/Appellant, v. THE STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF KANSAS, Respondent/Appellee.
1. K.S.A. 77-621 is construed and applied.
2. K.A.R. 82-1-224 is construed.
3. Administrative agencies must ensure litigants their day in court, including proper notice as a prerequisite to valid agency action.
Appeal from Kansas Corporation Commission. Opinion filed January 24, 1997. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Martin J. Bregman, general attorney, and J. Michael Peters, associate general counsel, of Topeka, for appellant.
Larry W. Cowger, assistant general counsel, of Kansas Corporation Commission, of Topeka, for appellee.
A. Brady Cantrell, of Topeka, for intervenor Citizens' Utility Ratepayer Board.
James P. Zakoura and Richard W. Hird, of Smithyman & Zakoura, Chartered, of Overland Park, and Fred Logan, of Logan & Logan, of Prairie Village, for intervenor Kansas Pipeline Partnership.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., ROYSE and KNUDSON, JJ.
ELLIOTT, J.: Western Resources, Inc., (WRI) and Kansas Pipeline Partnership (KPP) entered into natural gas sales and transportation contracts; both sought approval of the contracts by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC). KCC consolidated the dockets and on a prior appeal, we held the "contracts and related requests contained in KPP's consolidated KCC dockets must be deemed approved by operation of law." Kansas Pipeline Partnership v. Kansas Corporation Comm'n, 22 Kan. App. 2d 410, 423, 916 P.2d 76 (1996). On remand, the KCC dismissed the applicable applications, claiming the dockets were consolidated only for a purpose of a common record. WRI appeals, claiming the KCC refused to follow our earlier mandate.
We reverse and remand. The factual background of this case is adequately detailed in our previous published opinion; we will mention facts only as necessary in deciding this second appeal.
At some point, WRI moved to consolidate its docket 192,391-U with KPP's applications in 192,506-U and 192,507-U, claiming all of the proceedings relate to the same contracts between WRI and KPP. The motion makes no mention of joinder/consolidation for hearing only.
On April 27, 1995, KCC described the three dockets, entered an order stating all relate to the same contracts, and granted the motion to consolidate. On May 31, 1995, KCC directed the parties to address in prefiled testimony the appropriateness of the recovery of Linchpin costs as identified in docket 190,362-U. On June 16, 1995, KCC (in docket 190,362-U) stated that project development costs would be subject to review in the three consolidated cases which were "set for a full evidentiary hearing." The order further ordered that Linchpin costs be placed into the rate base subject to review in the consolidated dockets. KCC further stated:
|"Applicants state that additional Linchpin Project Development Costs incurred by Western Resources totaling approximately $6 million should be transferred to the Applicants' books and included in the Applicants' rate base. The Commission takes no action on this issue and defers this issue for consideration at the above-referenced hearing scheduled for July 10, 1995 where all issues pertaining to certain contracts between Western Resources and the Applicants will be explored."
None of the KCC orders mention consolidation for purposes of a common record only.
We filed our opinion in the prior appeal on May 17, 1996. Motions for rehearing and petitions for review were filed by several parties. While those were pending, KCC, sua sponte, dismissed the original applications of WRI and KPP. On August 2, 1996, KCC set aside its order dismissing the KPP dockets, but reaffirmed its dismissal of the WRI docket, asserting for the first time that the three dockets had been consolidated "only for hearing on a common record."
KCC granted WRI's request to consolidate the three dockets, and that order did not indicate the consolidation was for limited purposes. In Harborlite Corp. v. I.C.C., 613 F.2d 1088, 1092 (D.C. Cir. 1979), the court held that administrative agencies must ensure litigants their day in court. This includes proper notice as a prerequisite to valid agency action. Dirt, Inc. v. Mobile County Com'n, 739 F.2d 1562, 1566 (11th Cir. 1984). If KCC intended to limit consolidation of the dockets, it should have made the parties aware of that fact.
In the present case, KCC never indicated it was consolidating the three dockets for hearing only until after the KCC proceedings were completed, until after KPP's petition for judicial review was filed, and until after we issued our opinion in the prior appeal. No one cites to any place in the record--and we have found none independently--where KCC articulated its current position prior to its motion for rehearing and modification en banc filed after our prior opinion.
If KCC has the power to join dockets only for hearing on a common record, the logical time for doing so is when the consolidation order is entered. Bluntly put, changing the nature of consolidation after an appellate decision is too late.
In its motion for rehearing and modification of the prior appeal, KCC asked us to clarify that our decision did not cover WRI's request to pass through costs. We denied KCC's motion, rejecting the opportunity to modify application of our decision to the WRI docket.
KCC's application of K.A.R. 82-1-224 in the present case is erroneous and unreasonable. Accordingly, KCC's orders of June 28, August 2, and September 9, 1996, are invalid as erroneous and unreasonable applications of the law. See K.S.A. 77-621(c)(4). Our decision in the prior appeal applied to the "contracts and related requests contained in KPP's consolidated KCC dockets." 22 Kan. App. 2d at 423. The KCC orders presently under review are invalid. See K.S.A. 77-621(c)(8).
In the present appeal, Citizens' Utilities Ratepayer Board (CURB) joins KCC in arguing that K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 66-117 does not apply to WRI's application. CURB made a similar argument in the prior appeal, and we rejected it. 22 Kan. App. 2d at 416.
In the prior appeal, KCC never contended that 66-117(b) did not apply to KPP's contracts, although other parties did. We find it difficult to imagine how the statute could apply to one party's contracts but not apply to the other party to the same contracts.
KCC and CURB also argue that because 66-117(b) does not apply to WRI's applications, we never had jurisdiction over WRI in the prior appeal. Suffice it to say that in the prior appeal, we noted that while KPP did not initially seek a rate increase, WRI did. The WRI and KPP proceedings before the KCC were consolidated because they involved the same contracts. Further, the joinder of the Linchpin costs rendered the proceeding an action closely related to a rate case. In deciding the prior case was closely enough connected to an underlying rate case to require appeal directly to us, we considered the presence of the Linchpin project and WRI's request to pass through the associated costs to WRI customers. Further, the parties agreed the case was closely enough connected to an underlying rate case to give us jurisdiction in the prior appeal.
Application of the 240-day time limit to the WRI/KPP contracts was the precise issue decided in the prior appeal. The present case is not an attempt to relitigate that issue; rather, WRI is simply attempting to enforce that decision. KCC's dismissal of WRI's application after our opinion in the prior appeal was little more than an attempt to avoid our ruling in that case. In the prior appeal, we relied on WRI's rate request in assuming jurisdiction and ultimately held that the "contracts and related requests contained in KPP's consolidated KCC dockets must be deemed approved by operation of law." 22 Kan. App. 2d at 423. We see no reason to reconsider our decision that we had jurisdiction of the consolidated dockets--including WRI's application.
KCC's dismissal of WRI's application was unreasonable in light of our decision in the prior appeal; KCC violated the provisions of K.S.A. 77-621(c)(4) and (8).
We reverse the KCC order dismissing WRI's application and remand with directions to comply with this opinion and with our holdings in the prior appeal.
1REPORTER'S NOTE: Previously filed as an unpublished opinion, the Supreme Court granted a motion to publish by an order dated March 19, 1997, pursuant to Rule 7.04 (1996 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 40).

In spite of the significant delays and roadblocks the Joomla! Community has experienced over the past couple of years trying to get board minutes and financial reports published for community review, the OSM board managed to move with all due speed to change the listing of board members to reflect the new positions. And, no, we still don't have a financial report reflecting at least the end of 2011. Nor do we have board minutes for January, 2012.
So what is the "slippery slope" here? It should be obvious to those who have been keeping up on these blogs. The two most likely to shut down discussion in JPeople!, the two most likely to condone continued secrecy of OSM business and financial transactions, the two most likely to condone the restructuring proposal and shepherd it through are the two members of OSM who were just elected to President and Vice-President positions in OSM.
We just went through two years of essentially no significant contributions from OSM under the leadership of Ryan Ozimek towards the support and caring of the development team. After all, that is the purpose of OSM you know.It is to remove from the development team any distractions from the business side of the project and to enable those devs to spend productive time on the project.
I have already described my concerns about the proposed reorganization in several blogs, this is just one - It's Probably Not Really A Conspiracy But ...
So, what are your thoughts? Has OSM moved to the brink of a greased cliff with their recent elections? Are we likely to see even more secrecy? Will this be good for the Joomla! project?

Québec City Tourism has been an integrated department of the City of Québec since 2002. Prior to this, the Québec Urban Community (CUQ) had been the tourism authority since 1970. In 1983, CUQ created the Québec Urban Community Tourism and Convention Bureau. That year, it also established a board of directors with a consultative role, whose recommendations were subject to ratification by CUQ officials, to foster closer cooperation between the private and public sectors. In 1978, the minister of Tourism created Québec's regional tourism associations, one of which was established in the Québec City area. It was dismantled in 1983.
In 1986, a ministerial protocol made Québec City Tourism the recognized regional tourism association for Québec City and Area, including the regional county municipalities of Portneuf, La Jacques-Cartier, Île d'Orléans, and Côte-de-Beaupré.

Sloths, moths, algae may live in three-way benefit pact
Insects and green slime may justify slow mammal's risky descent from trees
Christian Mehlführer/Wikimedia Commons
A tree-dwelling sloth's climb down to ground level for its weekly bathroom break may not be pointless daintiness.
The trip is risky and (for a sloth) energetically expensive. Yet the effort could be the sloth's contribution to a mutually beneficial, three-way partnership. The sloth's trips seem to encourage moths that mate in the mammal's fur and algae that thrive on moth detritus, suggests Jonathan Pauli of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The payoff for the sloth, after a Rube Goldberg-like string of actions by the other partners, could be rich blooms of nutritious algae to eat off its own fur, Pauli and his colleagues propose January 22 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
"Sloths are bizarre," Pauli says with evident enthusiasm. Why three-toed sloths go to the trouble to clamber down to the forest floor to scrape out a latrine depression about

Indigo Prophecy, aka Farenheit, is one of those games that we remember fondly here at Ars, even three-and-a-half years after its release. While it might have featured a somewhat-confusing third act, the overall story was great and it took the tired genre of adventure games and spun it on its head with some interesting ideas. While many of the game's fans were hoping for a sequel, Quantic Dream's co-CEO David Cage has revealed that this isn't likely to happen.
Speaking to 1up, Cage explained that he had thought of working on a sequel for a while, but he ultimately decided that such a game just wouldn't be something that he could make worthwhile. "When we started talking to publishers," he explained, "many of them told us they loved Indigo and they were interested in publishing the sequel. So I started thinking of Indigo 2 but I quickly realized I had nothing more to say on this story and these characters. I really enjoyed the time I spent with them, but they were attached to a moment in my life, and I had moved on. I wanted to write something more personal, deeper, more adult, with no world to save and no supernatural powers."
Though it's a shame to hear that we won't be getting a sequel, Cage's explanation is simultaneously reassuring since it means gamers won't be given a lackluster game designed to simply separate us from our hard-earned cash. Quantic Dream's games have, so far, showed a dedication to storytelling, and it's nice to see that the studio is maintaining that dedication.

So this is a thing that I'm involved with. It's going to contain a few of my stories and a lot of awesome work from other authors. Obviously I suggest it for any sci-fi fans, especially those who like darker fiction, since a lot of the stories in the book take really twisted turns.
This is the first time I've taken to Kickstarter to fund a writing project and it's turned out a lot better than I was expecting. We reached our funding goal on the first day and I'm pretty confident that we'll reach at least one of our stretch goals. If we get to the second, we get to make a fantasy anthology, so that'd be cool.

Banks Peninsula bird watching
Banks Peninsula has abundant bird watching opportunities just over an hour from CHC . See sea, bush, grassland, migrant wader native & introduced species.
Banks Peninsula is an area of 1150 square kilometres of rugged, eroded, volcanic landscape surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. With two main harbours, Akaroa & Lyttleton, and a myriad of coastal bays with micro climates the opportunities to view endemic, indigenous & introduced species are many & varied. Just over an hour from Christchurch International Airport, Banks Peninsula provides a variety of bird watching opportunities for enthusiasts and casual observers with a great number of species in New Zealand being sighted in this area.
The vast expanse of shallow Lake Ellesmere on the edge of Banks Peninsula is home to a number of migrant waders as well as endemic & indigenous species of water birds. Access from the many laybys along the main Akaroa Christchurch Highway and the Motukarara Little River Rail Trail yield ample opportunities.
With an abundance of walking tracks covering a variety of habitats from bush & open grasslands on the summit to bush clad and rocky shorelines, many New Zealand native bush, grassland & sea birds can be seen from land.
However, a trip on one of the boat tours or even hiring a kayak yields an abundance of sea birds including, from time to time, several species of albatross including Royal, Bullers & Salvins; petrels, gulls, cormorants, shearwaters, penguins and more.
Take a scheduled tour or charter a pelagic to take in some of New Zealand's best birding opportunities.
Accommodation ranges from an exclusive 5 star retreat which can be fully catered to secluded camping sites and everything in between. With many local accommodation operators being keen conservationists opportunity abounds for local insights and knowledge.

Focusing on two of the 21st century's fastest growing areas - the boom in city populations and the explosion of IT and communication technology, the report looks at the prospects and perils facing girls.
While there are great opportunities, prejudice and poverty is excluding millions of girls from taking advantages of the possibilities on offer.
Urban poverty, lack of proper housing and sexual harassment can make many girls feel unsafe. Cyberspace can also be hazardous - a hunting ground for traffickers and bullies.
The report argues that girls need to be able to gain the skills to protect themselves and to recognise both the threats and the opportunities that await them on the city streets and online.

I'm working on a flowline marine ice sheet model looking at some retreat scenarios. I'm using the mismip bedrock geometry and have the ice sheet initialised so that it is stable just on the seaward side of the bedrock bump. I'm using Coulomb friction at the base, the lateral friction function, increasing the glacier width to decrease the buttressing and a separate solver for melting below the ice shelf (SubShelfMelt solver, its in the github repo but not documented on the wiki).
The problem is when the grounding line retreats and seems to get stuck just at the point where the bedrock should start to be backwards sloping. The output starts to look quite strange with many "Retreat of the Grounding LIne" type messages within a timestep, but then the GroundedSolver at the end of the timestep puts the grounding line in the same spot it was at the previous timestep. I also see a lot of "!!! Ne <=0, nodenumber 2 -1.728410418593285E-003" type messages, suggesting something strange going on at with the effective pressure around the grounding line and on the back slope.
Also, if I restart the simulation from one of these timesteps then I sometimes get a huge jump in the grounding line retreat on the very first timestep.
Has anyone come across this behaviour or have any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong here? I'll attach my sif and a snippet of the output. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

'Politically correct' behaviour change - an HIV/pregnancy threat?
The vigour of youth is a marvellous thing when harnessed to the traditional caring values of the physician, and can work wonders in society - as modelled by a young Charlotte Maxeke/Johannesburg General Hospital surgical medical officer profiled by Chris Bateman in Izindaba this month.1 The cautionary comments by the doctor's more politically and professionally seasoned colleagues (he and his colleagues are delivering 'shock therapy' lectures at Johannesburg schools where teenage pregnancies are a real problem) are valid, given the sexually conservative nature of parents across cultures. But most importantly, the junior doctors are filling a hiatus consciously left by the departments of Basic Education and Health via a decision to cease all HIV testing at schools (and thus associated pregnancy prevention). Why? Youth activists persuaded Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga that it was untenable to perform HIV testing without appropriate and sufficient psychosocial support. Her health counterpart, Dr Aaron Motsaledi, agreed, saying that the upcoming pre-national-health-insurance-integrated school health programme would address current short-falls. The result? Six months to a year of no official behaviour change intervention just as our teenagers enter a more sexually active, age-differentiated and far higher HIV-prevalence societal pool. Perhaps the gap-fillers need some considered official backing?
Foreign green pastures for South African doctors
There is an absolute shortage of >4 million skilled health workers worldwide. In developed countries this is partly because of increasing demands for healthcare, with ageing populations and fewer young people available and opting to go into the health professions. Dambisya and Mamabolo2 review the advertisements for foreign posts in the South African Medical Journal (SAMJ) over a recent period (2006 - 2010) and compare these with similar advertisements over a previous period (2000 - 2004), in order to establish trends as a measure of active recruitment campaigns for such personnel.
In developing countries a combination of factors leads to poor investment in the production and retention of health professionals, especially in rural and remote areas. 'Pull' and 'push' factors in developed and developing countries, respectively, contribute to the migration of health professionals; typically from poorer to wealthier areas (what a colleague called a 'transfusion from the anaemic to the plethoric' and what has also been called 'the great brain robbery').
There were 1 176 foreign advertisements placed in the SAMJ in the review period, reducing from 355 in 2006 to 121 in 2010 (also down from an average of 504 foreign advertisements per year in the previous period). The originating countries were primarily Australia (36.4%), Canada (24.3%), New Zealand (16.2%), the United Kingdom (UK) (9.2%) and Ireland (3.7%); others were the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Namibia and Botswana (10.1%).
The reduction in foreign advertisements can be attributed to many factors, including: geopolitical changes in Europe (healthcare workers from Eastern Europe were able to work in the European Union, including the UK); differing health systems in the top four destinations; and the utility of bilateral governmental arrangements to discourage such recruitment.
Medical internship and community service slaves
Owing to a chronic shortage of medical staff in South Africa, sleep-deprived medical interns and community service doctors work up to 200 hours of overtime per month under the state's commuted overtime policy. Nicolette Erasmus3 explores the legal and moral aspects of this exploitation in a hard-hitting paper that challenges the existing system and recommends changes.
Nurses also moonlight in circumvention of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. For trainee doctors, overtime over 80 hours is unpaid and rendered involuntarily under threat of not qualifying to practise medicine in South Africa. As forced labour, and sleep deprivation amounting to cruel and degrading treatment, it is outlawed in international law. No other professional group in the country is subjected to such levels of exploitation and discrimination by the state.
Erasmus suggests inter alia that these abuses should be challenged under the Constitution and investigated by the Human Rights Commission. Spurred by her suggestion that structural concerns, including policy and market failures, should be addressed, a few simple changes are proposed in the editorial4 that can contribute significantly to a long-term improvement in our medical services. These are: returning to the 6-year medical curriculum; restructuring the 3-year internship and community service into a 2-year programme; and increasing the number of medical officer posts. These would improve services and supervision, and lighten the financial load of graduates bearing the heavy burden of study loans.
Challenging infective endocarditis prevention
Ingrained beliefs, whatever their derivation, are hard to shift. It took many centuries for medicine to abandon the Hippocratic theory of four humours that led to logical treatment: bleed to get rid of bad humours; starve to prevent new ones from forming; or purge to get rid of the rest, from above, from below or from any other exit. Parrish and Maharaj5 challenge conventional beliefs on the prevention of infective endocarditis (IE) in developing countries.
In Europe and the USA, guideline bodies have limited their indications for IE prophylaxis, and in the UK it is not recommended at all.
Bacteraemia may occur after more than 20% of toothbrushing episodes. IE can develop despite prophylaxis. In dental sepsis it is conceivable that the underlying condition produces more cumulative bacteraemia than the extraction.
The authors explore reasons why existing practices continue despite lack of evidence that they are beneficial. When differing international guidelines make differing recommendations based on the same evidence, it becomes important to achieve local clarity. A pragmatic approach might be to emphasise both good dental hygiene and early recognition and treatment of established endocarditis, and to de-emphasise reliance on an intervention of uncertain benefit.

FRANKLIN, IND. – Manchester University's offense picked up right where it left off April 8 against Defiance College of Ohio posting 12 runs on 17 hits in its Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference series opener with Franklin College Friday, April 11.
Just two days removed from a single-game high 19 runs, MU (16-9, 10-2 HCAC) jumped on the Grizzlies pitching staff from the beginning at FC's John P. McDowell Memorial Field. The visitors plated a run in the second after junior outfielder Justin Miller (Yorktown, Ind.) and senior outfielder Ryne Lehrman (Hoagland, Ind.) drilled back-to-back doubles. Lehrman came up an inning later and hammered a two-run triple to highlight a six-run, five-hit effort that opened the lead up to 7-0.
The Black and Gold's offense didn't stop there. They added a single run in the fourth and a pair of two-run rallies in the sixth and seventh to close up their outburst.
Six Spartans wound up with multiple-hit totals. Senior designated hitter Dan Maringer (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and freshman first baseman Tailur Szarenski (Bluffton, Ind.) each ended with three hits apiece, while Lehrman added two hits and three RBIs to go along with two-hit games from sophomore catcher Elliott Ford (Rome City, Ind.), junior second baseman Logan Hug (Indianapolis, Ind.) and sophomore second baseman Sean Knepper (Bremen, Ind.).
Manchester University's offensive totals were more than enough to aid senior starter Temujin Sery (Fort Wayne, Ind.) in lifting his overall and league record to 4-0. Sery was touched for just five hits and no earned runs while striking out five over eight innings.
MU's series with Franklin resumes Saturday, April 12. The Spartans and Grizzlies begin a doubleheader at 12 p.m.
NOTES: The Black and Gold upped their win streak to nine … Manchester University increased its conference lead to a game and a half over second place Rose-Hulman.

Race 1
6-Boinga – pulled a huge upset in a Hambo Oaks
elimination in 2010 when she paid $75.80, makes her second start off the bench
in a very easy spot, 28-day layoff
3-Scent Of Oil – switched to Team Orange Crush
& qualified with confidence, let's give this one a big chance to step up
after a needed start despite a 28-day layoff
4-Photo Review – from the man who produced
millionaire Green Day, Jim Raymer has a 5yo who looked better in the second
Race 2
1-Joyeux Dream – was a very headstrong
pacesetter, yet rated the middle half in :58 and romped for Tetrick, great
acclimating mile, looks invincible from the rail
7-For Goodness Lindy – gets points for his rally
to finish second to Joyeux Dream, now has a feel for the mile track &
figures to offer some value
3-Swiss Lightning – lightly-raced 4yo took aim
& came up short chasing Joyeux Dream, expecting the improving trend to
continue from the same inside post
Race 3
3-Ladainian – came around in a big way with a
gutsy uncovered score at Yonkers in his third start off the bench, owns a mark
of 1:54.2 here & hasn't raced in 31 days
4-Paisley – has been putting in some decent
miles against much tougher at Harrah's Philly, don't like the 32-day layoff,
but the class relief is too much to ignore
9-Baby Blaze – a winner here last season
regained his speedy edge at Rosecroft, lands outside after a 28-day layoff, yet
may be the one to reel in
Race 4
2-Rock N Victory – arrives on an excellent form
spree at Rosecroft, just missed in his last two with inspiring surges &
lands inside a blank field here
3-Card Knock Life – rounded back into form to
break his maiden with a nice rally at Yonkers, that was 30 days ago, but this
is a field begging to be beaten
6-Dharma Initiative – makes his debut in a very
soft spot for Mark Harder & his qualifying lines make him competitive at
first asking
Race 5
9-Where To Hanover – grinded gamely first over
& simply drew off in a sparkling Big M debut going 3-for-3, lands in a more
challenging division, yet brimming with upside
3-No Less Than Magic – put together a strong
back half of :56.4 chasing Helios, draws an improved post & could be on the
6-Windsun Galliano – was very impressive in his
winning debut here in 1:54.4, so how much are you willing to forgive the early
miscue last week?
Race 6
4-He's A Beachboy – shows a mark of 1:51.4
taken here last year, chased a runaway back on Opening Night with pace at both
ends & draws well in a wide-open field
6-Forensic Z Tam – got shuffled some & was
just okay in his latest comeback here, 9yo has a big chance to flaunt his class
after that needed mile
10-Zen Major – was parked through a decent pace
& didn't fade much in his Conor Flynn debut, hopes to get into a lively
flow in this one
Race 7
1-Jack's Magic Jewel – 10yo mare closed from
the clouds with a :27.3 to grab a piece in her first start here from post 11,
look for her to sit a little closer from the rail
5-Elodie – that was one lively effort from post
9 in her Big M debut when she just missed at almost 50-1, any semblance of that
makes her one to beat
9-Honorary Hanover – got razor sharp winning
two of three at Harrah's Philly, but now we have a 36-day layoff + post 9
Race 8
7-Laguna Beach – was red-hot for $15 + $20,000
here last Winter & Spring, flashing hints of coming around at Harrah's
Philly, the 29-day gap is a concern
9-Dontu Get Lonely - Mike Watson sent out a
winner Saturday in Armbro Billow, the qualifier was strong enough to rate a
long look at a price
8-Celebrity Scandal – has improved hitting the
board in his last two with Lasix added, gutsy mile last out chasing a runaway
Brandon's Colt
Race 9
4-Helios – has won both starts here with
relative ease, while demonstrating versatility and a willingness to grind them
down, continues to tap into his upside
10-Wisenheimer – kudos to Jenny Melander &
Dave Miller for getting this son of Revenue S pointed in the right direction,
gets a poor draw off that brave score
7-Majestic Stone – was lurking with late trot
behind Wisenheimer with his best effort to date, further improvement expected
& count on Tetrick to get him within range
Race 10
8-Cruise Queen – give her major points for
making up for a slow start & hitting the board, Lasix has picked up her
game, Burke trainee was 8 for 18 last year
2-Lizzie's Dream – steps up to C-1 fresh from a
gutsy score, lands inside & tough to go against in her current form
4-Shayna Baby – beaten favorite wasn't quite
ready to deliver her killer kick, veteran mare loves this track & can atone

Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax
Effective July 1, 2016, unless exempted under Va. Code § 58.1-2402, Virginia levies a 4.15% Motor Vehicle Sales and Use (SUT) Tax based on the vehicle's gross sales price or $75, whichever is greater. An additional $64 fee applies to electric vehicles, excluding mopeds.
For the purposes of the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax collection, gross sales price includes the dealer processing fee. The gross sales price is the vehicle price after the manufacturers' rebates or manufacturers' incentives. Gross sales price does not include any other price reductions, such as credit for trade-ins, unpaid liens or other unpaid credits.
Collecting the SUT Tax
The Motor Vehicle Sales and Use tax is collected at the time of titling whenever a vehicle is sold and/or ownership of the motor vehicle changes.
Exemptions from the SUT Tax
If you are exempt from the motor vehicle sales and use tax as provided by statute § § 58.1-2403, you may be required to provide proof of your exemption status and complete the Purchaser's Statement of Tax Exemption (SUT3) indicating the reason for exemption. Please note that proof is used to establish eligibility for certain exemptions.
If you are titling your vehicle in Virginia for the first time and you hold a valid assignable title or registration issued in your name by another state or a branch of the United States Armed Forces, you will not have to pay the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax. However, if you purchased the vehicle within the preceding 12 months, you must provide proof that the sales and use tax was paid elsewhere in order to be exempt in Virginia.
Calculating the SUT Tax
For a transaction between private individuals, the minimum Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax is calculated based on the trade-in value given in the NADA Official Used Car Guide. You must present either an Affidavit for Procurement of Title (SUT-1A) if the vehicle is 5 years old or newer (based on the model year) or a Bill of Sale if the vehicle is more than 5 years old. (The sale price placed on a title certificate by the seller is the equivalent of a bill of sale.) A bill of sale must be signed by both the seller and the buyer to include the full vehicle description, vehicle identification number and date of sale.

DHAKA : Gunmen opened fire and tossed bombs on Sunday at a prison van carrying detained militants of a banned Islamist movement to a court house, killing a policeman and freeing three activists, police and witnesses said.
Police said two cars blocked a highway in Mymenshing district, 122 km (76 miles) north of Dhaka, and set off several bombs. One policeman died on the spot and three were injured.
The three convicts snatched from their police escort were members of the banned group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), including the group's explosives expert. Two of them had been sentenced to death.
They had been on their way to a court in Mymenshing to testify in another trial, said Abdur Razzak, superintendent of Kashimpur jail, where all three had been held. Police mounted a manhunt and were combing districts near the incident.
Six leaders of the Islamist militant group were hanged after being convicted of killing two judges in 2005. Among them was JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman, a veteran of conflicts in Afghanistan.
The group exploded nearly 500 bombs almost simultaneously on Aug. 17, 2005 across Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka, in attacks largely aimed at frightening authorities.
Its militants later carried out suicide attacks on various courthouses, killing 25 people, including judges, lawyers and policemen, and injuring hundreds.

Sick Again? Why Some Colds Won't Go Away
Some people get back-to-back colds, infected by a new virus
About a month ago Sharon Gilbert was hit with a runny nose, sore throat and a cough. The whole snotty works.
A few weeks later she thought she had recovered. Then her husband Derek got sick, and bam. "Suddenly I started getting all the symptoms [again] and it was worse," said Ms. Gilbert, a 61-year-old writer in Charleston, Ill.
