January 21, 2003LOS ANGELES — At the invitation of The Anderson School at UCLA's High Tech Business Association, Ronald W. Dollens, president and chief executive officer, Guidant Technologies, was invited to speak to Anderson's MBA students. Guidant (NYSE: GDT) is the world leader in the design and development of cardiovascular medical products that helps patients lead healthy, active lives.
Dollens spoke to the MBA students about careers in technology and the elements of management principles and leadership skills that have contributed to the success of Guidant. He described three important elements that define a successful company:
- Effective product development process
- Presence in the marketplace
- Managing the company's cost structure
"The key to our success is we're going to be able to attract the intellectual capital that is going to lead the company, five, ten years from now," said Dollens. As a model for hiring successful employees, Dollens described a "genetic code," which he feels are the characteristics of an ideal employee and are often difficult to find in one person. The "genetic code" includes absolute honesty and integrity, a results-oriented focus, a competitive nature, a team player mentality and flexibility.
These types of characteristics embody Guidant's employee workforce and have led Guidant to a 21 percent return on sales (gross margin), over the past year. Additionally, more than 60 percent of the products Guidant sells are less than 12 months old, which presents a difficult challenge for any manufacturing company. Between 13-14 percent of revenues are invested in research and development, which is one of the highest percentages in any industry.
Dollens also gave the students a unique aspect of his leadership style with a breakdown of his time management as CEO of Guidant. The company's number one strategic issue is influencing the health policy of the United States. Dollens spends approximately 20-30 percent of his personal time in Washington, D.C., where he works closely with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. He spends another 40 percent dealing with shareholder issues, and the remainder of his time is spent on operational and business development issues.
After his talk, approximately 20 Anderson School MBA students were invited to participate in a special dinner to speak candidly with Dollens in a more informal environment. Bob Foster, adjunct associate professor of decisions, operations and technology management at Anderson, joined the students.
"This was a unique experience for the students to personally interact with one of the leaders of the medical instrumentation industry," said Foster. "Guidant's rapid growth and strong profitability speaks volumes about the corporate culture that exists at Guidant. Our students were truly impressed with his personal leadership style and ability to clearly articulate Guidant's mission and direction."
The High-Tech Business Association is one of Anderson's largest student organizations whose purpose is to provide students with a forum for opportunities for research, internships and career employment opportunities in high-tech areas such as multimedia, information services and telecommunications. Students develop relationships with top industry leaders in the high tech field through speaker events, conferences and a "brown bag" series.
Prior to his position at Guidant, Dollens served as president of Eli Lilly and Company's Medical Devices and Diagnostics Division. In 1988, he became president and CEO of Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (ACS), a MDD company headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Recently named one of FORTUNE'S 100 best companies to work for (the fourth time in five years), Guidant has employed several Anderson School graduates and is a major recruiter for the Anderson School.

The term due diligence always seems to appear whether you are researching a purchase of a home, car or business. Consumers are expected to have done enough research to ensure that they are making a wise buying decision. Those who don't do their research often end up finding out about another term, buyer beware.
Doing your due diligence buys peace of mind. So when it comes to your professional advancement or business expansion, are you taking the time to do your research, examining the finding and then making well-informed decisions? If you've done your due diligence in the fitness industry, you will know that every year for the past decade, we have learned more about the effect aging has on our bodies and minds. The increasing number of Baby Boomers have also created an abundance of business opportunities. Whether it's facility design, product creation, marketing strategy or programmatic changes, the older population is affecting every segment of the fitness industry.
So, what does the latest research show us about the needs and abilities of older people? What more have we learned about what motivates this group, and what turns them off? And, most importantly, what opportunities are created from this information?
Research released earlier this year from the National Marketing Institute's Boomer/Healthy Aging Database offers a closer look into the psyche of the Baby Boomer.
Eighty-two percent of Baby Boomers say they want to maintain a healthy lifestyle to have enough energy as they age. What can we in the fitness industry do with that information? Offer programs marketed as energy builders at your club. Then, tie in a promotion with manufacturers of energy drinks. By doing your due diligence, you can overcome the problem and provide a solution that differentiates you from your competitors.
Let's look at another research finding. Eighty-eight percent to 90 percent of Baby Boomers say they are dissatisfied with their fitness regime. Here's what you can do: find out from your members what they would like to see offered at your club. For example, 52 percent of Baby Boomers wish to become healthier to prevent disease, so offer disease prevention programming (heart health and strong bone programming are just two examples). The normal toning program you offer every summer for the beach just won't cut it here.
Fitness professionals can also tap into an American Association of Retired Persons study that shows that 64 percent of Baby Boomers feel younger than their real age, but only 19 percent say this is due to exercise. Research also shows that about 79 percent want to become healthier so they can remain active longer.
Researcher Dr. William Evans said the single greatest deficit in many older people is their inability to lift 10 pounds. Ponder this vital point for a minute. Now, ask yourself the question, does my equipment address this issue? Does it offer a low starting resistance or does it create a barrier, turning off your market before you can turn them on?
Research findings are only numbers. It's what you do with the research (aka your market intelligence) that can spell the difference between success and failure with any market. These few examples I've explained demonstrate the power of turning research into action. By becoming a student of the older adult market, you not only make your organization unique, but you also add to your bottom line. Just remember, always do your due diligence before making decisions.

The Texas Supreme Court turned back another challenge to the state business tax, saying the companies that brought the lawsuit didn't meet legal requirements for filing such a case.
A challenge under the tax code only can be brought if a company has paid taxes under protest or asked the state for a refund, according to the opinion by Justice Nathan L. Hecht.
Hecht wrote that the companies that sued, including Nestlé USA Inc., argued that the requirement for district court lawsuits didn't apply in their direct challenge filed in with the state's highest civil court.
"We disagree," Hecht wrote. The court dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction.
The state's business tax, revamped in 2006 by lawmakers and Gov. Rick Perry as part of a school finance overhaul, has consistently underperformed and has been criticized by some as unfair.
The Supreme Court late last year ruled against another challenge to the tax, which contended the levy amounts to a personal income tax for limited partnerships. Such a tax is banned by the state constitution absent a statewide vote.

Item versioning makes it possible for multiple versions of an item to exist simultaneously in the Oracle database. This feature is useful for tracking document changes from one version to the next and allows for reverting to a previous version if necessary.
This section discusses using version control with items. It includes the following subsections:
Section 14.12.1, "Changing Version Control Settings for an Item"
Section 14.12.2, "Changing the Active Current Version of an Item"
Oracle Portal provides item version control settings for page groups and for individual pages. Additionally, item versioning is relevant to translations. For more information, see Section 5.5.2, "Setting the Item Versioning Level for a Page Group", Section 7.1, "Enabling Item Versioning for Page Groups, Pages, and Templates", and Section 19.3.2, "Translations and Item Versioning".
Note:With custom item types, you can manually specify the numbering scheme to use for versioning with the Version Number attribute. If you plan to specify a default value for the Version Number attribute, do not use a constant value, such as
2. Because an item cannot have, for example, two version 2s on the same page, providing a static default value for the Version Number field results in an error. Instead, consider creating a default function that returns a unique value and calling the function with a procedure. For more information on adding a procedure call to an item type, see Section 126.96.36.199.3, "Adding a Procedure Call to an Item Type".
When version control is enabled for items on a page, you can change the version control settings for most items. Exceptions to this include items with a status of either pending or draft. Such items do not have version control settings.
To change version control settings for an item:
Log in to Oracle Portal.
Go to the page that contains the items for which to set a versioning level.
For information on locating a page through the Page Groups portlet, see Section 8.1, "Locating Pages in Oracle Portal".
Click the Edit link at the top of the page.
This opens the page in Edit mode.
Click the Edit Item icon beside the relevant item (Figure 14-35).
In the Item Version Control radio group, select the item version control option to apply to this item.
Add Item As New version, but not as Current Version
Add Item As New and Current Version
Overwrite Current Version
For the first two options, Oracle Portal maintains a record of the item's previous versions.
Add Item As New version, but not as Current Version
Add Item As New and Current Version
For both of these options, Oracle Portal maintains a record of the item's previous versions.
Click OK.
Note:The item version control options change when you are working in a language other than the default language view (a translated view) of the page group or page, Simple or Audit versioning is enabled, and the default-language view has a more-recent version of the item. For more information, see Section 19.3.3, "Copying Translatable Attributes".
Once you have multiple versions of an item, you may want to change which version of the item is displayed to users.
To change the current version of an item:
Log in to Oracle Portal.
Go to the page where the item for which to set versioning is located.
For information on locating a page through the Page Groups portlet, see Section 8.1, "Locating Pages in Oracle Portal".
Click the Edit link at the top of the page.
This opens the page in Edit mode.
Click the Actions icon next to the relevant item (Figure 14-36).
Click the Versions link.
Select the version to use as the current active version, and click OK.
The selected version of the item now displays to users. All other versions are maintained in the database and are available for selection as the current version.
Using custom item types, you can establish your own version numbering scheme for versions of items that you add to your portal. Every time users update an item, they can manually enter the next version according to your company's version numbering scheme, then save the item as a new version.
If users do not provide a value for the Version Number attribute when they save the item as a new version, Oracle Portal automatically assigns a new value, using the algorithm
ceil() + 1. (Ceil stands for ceiling, which is the next available whole number following a fraction.)
For example, if the last version was 3, then 4 is automatically assigned as the next version. However, if the last version was 3.1, then 5 is automatically assigned as the next version. This is because the ceiling for the number 3.1 is 4, and 4 + 1 = 5.
Keep in mind that you must use numerals and no other type of character. Additionally, you can use only one decimal point. You can establish a version series, such as 1, 2, 3 or 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, but not 1.1.1 or 1a.
To use your own version numbering scheme:
Create a custom item type.
For information on how to create a custom item type, see Chapter 5, "Preparing to Add Content".
Add the Version Number attribute to the item type.
Be sure to expose the Version Number attribute in the Add and Edit wizards.
Configure the page group to allow the new item type.
For information on how to make an item type available to a page group, see Section 22.214.171.124, "Making an Item Type Available to a Page Group".
Turn on item versioning for the page.
For information on enabling item versioning for a page, see Chapter 7, "Defining and Displaying Page Information".
Add an item of the new custom type to the page.
The Add Item wizard includes the Version Number attribute that you added to the custom item type on which this item is based.
For information on adding an item to a page, see Section 14.2, "Adding Items to a Page".
Provide a numeric value for the Version Number attribute.
This value must be an arabic numeral (that is, 1, 2, 3, and so on) and can include one decimal point.
Finish adding your item.
When users update the item, the Version Number attribute is exposed in the Edit Item wizard. Users can enter the appropriate incremental value according to your established numbering scheme and save the item as a new version.
If you are using item versioning and you always want to show the current version of an image—whether the image is the item itself or an attribute associated with the item—use the image's durable URL instead of the internal file name. The durable URL always picks up the latest version of the image. So, instead of entering the image's internal name, for example,
1645.GIF, enter:
This is the relative URL format of a durable URL. With values, it looks like the following:
Always use relative URLs to maintain the integrity of the reference should the host or domain name change, or should the content be exported to another site.
You can obtain the item's durable URL by displaying the Property Sheet attribute in the region hosting the item. Once the Property Sheet attribute is displayed in the region, click the Property Sheet icon (Figure 14-37) next to the item, and copy the portion of the durable URL you will be using. The durable URL is listed next to the heading Item Link. For more information about displaying region attributes, see Section 10.2.9, "Changing the Attributes Displayed in a Region".
The property sheet you view when you click the Property Sheet icon is different from the one you view when you right click the image and select Properties from the resulting pop-up menu. To get the image's durable URL, always click the Property Sheet icon.

Reprogramming heats up
Integration-free technologies with high reprogramming efficiency are key to the use of induced pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives in cell therapy and drug discovery applications. Sendai virus (SeV) has been used to reprogram somatic cells with high efficiency however, while recombinant SeV vectors only replicate in the cytoplasm of infected cells, continued cytoplasmic replication after reprogramming could prevent the use of SeV in therapeutic applications. Ban et al. present the use of temperature sensitive SeV vectors to generate viral and reprogramming factor free iPSCs from human fibroblasts and CD34+ cord blood cells at high efficiency. More

China's central bank moved earlier this week to drain liquidity from the market for the first time in eight months, leading to speculation over whether the world's second largest economy has embarked on a tightening cycle.
"The very fact that the PBOC (People's Bank of China) conducted the draining operation is a hawkish signal. Clearly, the central bank is trying to send a message that it will not tolerate too easy liquidity conditions," Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist and strategist, at Credit Agricole CIB said.
The PBOC let a net $145.89 billion drain from the interbank market this week and returned to using longer-term forward repos to drain funds, instead of reverse repos which inject funds, for the first time since June. This spooked investors and led to a 3 percent fall in China's benchmark index on Thursday, with the Shanghai Composite opening lower on Friday as well.

China Shares Slump 3% on Tightening Fears
Kowalczyk said in a note that he expects the central bank will try to tighten liquidity to curb inflation and
home prices
this year. He also expects two hikes to the main interest rates in the second half of the year.
Louis Kuijs, China economist, RBS, also said that there was a possibility of monetary tightening in the second half of the year, even though he expects monetary policy to remain on hold in the coming months.
"If we start to see the [economic] recovery really taking off, then later in the year, we can expect some tightening measures," Kuijs said.
Following a year tainted by uncertainty, China entered 2013 on positive note supported by a slew of upbeat data like annual economic growth rebounding to 7.8 percent in the fourth-quarter – snapping seven straight quarters of weaker expansion. Signs the economy has turned the corner after a raft of pro-growth policies kicked in late last year, has led economists to predict that China will grow more than 8 percent this year.
In late December, however, the PBOC warned that China would stick to a "prudent" monetary policy in 2013 to keep inflation stable after cutting interest rates and the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for banks twice each last year. The consumer price index (CPI) rose to a seven-month high of 2.5 percent in December from a year earlier.

China Inflation Accelerates – Time to Remove the Punch Bowl?
But despite the recent move by the PBOC, Shuang Ding, senior China economist, Citi Investment Research, doesn't see a major shift in China's policy stance, but rather a "normalization" of the monetary policy.
"I think going forward it seems that the capital inflow may have resumed that is why the central bank purchased a lot of foreign exchange in December and possibly in January," Ding said. "If the capital flows continue, the central bank may not need to cut the reserve requirement ratio and they may even have to withdraw the liquidity they attracted from the foreign exchange market by, for example, the repo rate."
Kuijs of RBS, meanwhile, said there's more chance that the central bank will crack down on China's shadow banking system than significantly tighten its core monetary policy stance.
"Policymakers have expressed concerns in recent months about the shadow banking systems and I would not be surprised if those concerns lead them to look closer and perhaps start to work on containing again the financial activity that takes place in that shadow banking system," Kuijs said.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [RM] May 17, 2004 Renovated Matagorda Island Lighthouse Shines Again PORT O'CONNOR, Texas -- A Matagorda Island beacon that guided ships along Texas' mid-coast before the U.S. Civil War is again lighting the way for modern mariners thanks to the recent completion of a $1.23 million overhaul of the state's oldest operational lighthouse. Federal, state and county officials will gather at 11 a.m., Friday, June 11 at the base of the Matagorda Island Lighthouse to dedicate the renovated cast iron structure that had become compromised during more than a century of being subjected to the harsh Gulf Coast elements. It took a little more than a year to complete the repair project that included rebuilding and shoring up the base, repainting the entire lighthouse and replacing the light room at the top. In addition, sidewalks and a restroom were added at the site that is within the boundaries of Matagorda Island State Park. The 92-foot tall, charcoal-colored lighthouse is actually the second such structure to be built on the eastern tip of the barrier island overlooking Pass Cavallo that leads from the gulf into Matagorda Bay. The original lighthouse, known as the Matagorda Light Station, was erected in 1852, but suffered extensive damage in the early 1860s when Confederate troops removed its Fresnel lens and tried to destroy the tower when they abandoned Fort Esperanza. What remained of the old structure was dismantled and a new lighthouse erected in 1873 using the same iron plates two miles inland away from the eroding shoreline. "The renovation of the lighthouse wouldn't have been possible without a federal grant secured through the Texas Department of Transportation and private donations raised by the Matagorda Island Foundation," said John Stuart, manager of Matagorda Island State Park. "The United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Calhoun County also helped make this unique public-private partnership work." Park visitors will not be able to climb the stairs inside the lighthouse for liability reasons, Stuart said, but they will be allowed to peer inside through a ground floor door. A private ferry under contract to the state shuttles park visitors between the mainland and Matagorda Island. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will work with the county and foundation to educate visitors about the rich history of the island, as well as its unique natural resources. Calhoun County will handle lighthouse maintenance. In 1999, TPWD installed a new rotating, flashing light -- a solar-powered marine lantern -- that can be seen up to 10 miles away. The lighthouse, which the U.S. Coast Guard had deactivated in 1995, was relit at the stroke of midnight of the new millennium, but had been out of commission the past two months while repairs to the top of the lighthouse were completed. Matagorda Island State Park and Wildlife Management Area occupies 43,893 acres on the northern two-thirds of the 38-mile-long island. USFWS manages 11,500 acres on the southwestern tip of the island. There is no bridge connecting the island to the mainland-the only way to get to the state park is by boat. Overnight facilities on the island are minimal but accommodating, consisting of a primitive beach campground for tent campers and two sets of converted former military barracks for group camping. The state park headquarters is located in Port O'Connor at the intersection of 16th Street and Intracoastal Canal. For more information about Matagorda Island State Park, call (361) 983-2215. -30-

Accounting Trends — Data Processing by Electronics
Presented at the Georgia Accounting Conference,
Athens, Georgia — November, 1955
You have seen during the last year or two a tremendous acceleration
in the trend toward extensive mechanization of accounting and record-
keeping activities. Developments in this area have led some of the more poetically-minded to talk of an office revolution having a significance
equaling that of the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Even the most prosaic analysis indicates that startling advances are in being. It is well for us, as accountants, to keep abreast of developments and their effect on our work. This we are doing. The journals of the accounting
societies, such as the Accounting Review, The Journal of Accountancy,
The Controller, The Internal Auditor, and the N. A. C. A. Bulletins, are carrying an increasing number of excellent articles dealing with electronics, integrated data processing, and the like. The Controllership Foundation has recently published a 175-page descriptive reference guide to literature in the field of electronics as it relates to the office. The inclusion of this topic in the agenda of this Conference is further evidence that we are aware of our obligations and opportunities.
What are these obligations and opportunities? First, of course, we have the obligation to take full advantage of equipment which will make accounting and record keeping more efficient - to slow or reverse the trend toward higher costs resulting from the needs of business and government for more and better information and for earlier availability of information. The adoption of radical types of new equipment, and the accompanying changes in procedures, create a demand for careful consideration
of their internal control aspects. To the internal auditor and the public accountant comes the problem of applying auditing principles in developing new techniques for the verification of financial statements. In recognition of this last, Mr. Arthur Foye, as president of the American
Institute of Accountants, last year appointed a committee to study and advise on the effects of electronic data-processing equipment on auditing procedures.

If you are a resident of Bhuj or if you plan on visiting the city then you might want to consider carrying a credit card instead of hard currency. Carrying cash can be a worrisome business since there would be always that gnawing doubt at the back of your mind regarding whether you have the money necessary to pay the expenses of the transaction or not. There is also the risk of losing all of your money and being stranded in a situation that would involve a lot of complication and it could be even dangerous to even find yourself in such a scenario.
Fortunately, credit cards avert such unfortunate inconveniences by bypassing the very need to carry around hard currency. Basically, credit cards are plastic cards that contain a microchip that is digitally connected to your bank account. Whenever you make a transaction the bank is notified of it and they credit your account with the amount with which you have made the purchase. This is essentially a loan that the bank gives to you and you need to pay back the loaned amount (along with interest) within a particular period of time.
ICICI Bank in the case of credit cards is a veritable pioneer. While credit cards have had existed in India, their eventual popularity among the growing middle class of the country, especially after the deregulation and liberalization of the Indian economy in 1990-91, was the result of ICICI progressively advertising credit cards and raising the awareness of customers regarding their benefits and utilities. Therefore, the large trust and prestige that credit cards enjoy rests largely upon the work of ICICI. If you possess a credit card that has been issued by ICICI Bank, you can consider yourself to very lucky.
If we take a closer look at the ICICI Bank credit cards that pertain to the need of Travel, we would note that they have put their rich experiences to good use. There are three sub-categories of cards that can be construed to be Travel credit cards, namely, the Jet Airways ICICI Bank Credit card, the HPCL Fuel Credit Card and the Unifare Metro Credit Card. The first is a co-brand credit card as a result of a deal with Jet Airways, which gives some cool benefits and amazing Travel on flight bookings made with Jet Airways. The second, as the name suggests, is more of a fuel credit card rather than a Travel credit card in the strict sense, but aids in curbing down on Travel expenses by drastically reducing costs spent on fuel by its institution of a fuel surcharge waiver program. The third card can said to be the most unique among the three and it is a testament to the conceptual and technological innovation brought forth by ICICI Bank; this card contains a chip that not only is usable for performing transactions but can also be used as a smartcard while commuting by metro. Thus, the Unifare card can function as two cards combined into one.
Now that you know the various Travel credit cards being offered by ICICI and now that you have finalized your Travel plans, we earnestly hope that you can make the most out of it. With ICICI Bank credit cards in your possession, you can now go to any place you want and enjoy the experiences of the places you visit and be in a position to make merry without any kind of stress or worry disturbing your mirth.

How to make paneer, Homemade paneer!
How to make Paneer at home?
Fresh Paneer that you can use to cook mouth watering dishes like Palak Paneer ,or the reason this post was made about a year back. Mattar Paneer, or Paneer with green peas.
I started that post with the lines "The secret of making paneer unvieled!!!" And BTW, the layout for my new blog is almost ready.. Just a little tweaks here and there and we will be in our new distination soon. All fresh posts in there.. No importing of posts.. I just can't have the thought of deleting this blog. Some dishes I will cook again and repost even, for new readers who are too lazy to browze the archives..
The picture above is of the paneer, prepared myself. Turned out quite easy. Otherwise it wouldn't have been posted on Bachelor Cooking!
I had prepared it with inspiration from Atabela..
This is quite simple, simple enough for green horn cooks.
And it was indeed tastier than the Dairy manufactured Paneers that we buy.
Boil Milk in a vessel.
* I boiled 1 litre of milk for the purpose.. and The ball above is just about the size of a Cricket Ball, so if you want a bigger Ball, get two litres. I eat alone so It was enough for me.
Boil Milk in low heat ( Low heat so that the milk don't spill, no use crying over spilt milk right?) Boil until about 1/4 or a quarter of the milk has evaporated has evaporated.
When 3 quaters of the milk remain, squeeze some lime juice.
OK put pre-squeezed lime juice. For 1 litre of milk, it took s table spoons of freshly squeezed juice to get all the milk solidify or coagulate. (For more milk use more lime).
The milk will now start to coagulate. That is what we wanted. When you see that the solid and watyre has separated, remove the vessel from heat.
Now lay a muslin cloth like the seen in the picture above over the mouth of another vessel, and pour the milk over it so that only the solid if caught in the cloth.
gather up the sides of the cloth and hold it like a sack or purse.
When you have gathered the sides on the top, hold tight and turn the solid below, so that the cloth tightens over the solid milk or paneer.
(**Now, hot water will squirt from the mesh in the cloth and it will be really hot, so do the tightening under a running water tap.)
Hand the sack for sometime, and then Open..
If you want to cook it, you make cut them into cubes as below.
Deep fry the paneer cubes slowly and slightly till the color below. It makes for much better mattar paneer, paneer Masala or any paneer dish.
Fry just till this brown.. Is it golden brown?

In hard times, Chris Paul has Melo's back (but can he get him to the Clippers?)
NEW ORLEANS - Over the weekend here, Knicks star Carmelo Anthony laid to rest any notion of the team trading him before Thursday's deadline, but by no means did he commit himself to staying with the Knicks once he hits free agency this summer.
The Knicks have been a major disappointment this year, just 20-32 and currently out of the playoff picture, even in the woebegone East. That left Anthony shrouded by gloom coming into All-Star weekend.
MORE: Images from All-Star Weekend | Durant gives himself nickname of "The Servant"
"It was going to be hard for me to try and enjoy this weekend, but I did," Anthony said. "I found a way. The guys that are part of the weekend did a great job of just getting me through it and keeping me positive, and just the whole vibe of the weekend was something that I was looking forward to, being around the guys the whole weekend, just kind of decompressing from my regular season. And now it's back to the grind."
Clippers star Chris Paul, a longtime friend of Anthony's, said Anthony's sour mood was noticeable. "It's tough because Melo is a guy I work out with in the summers," Paul said. "We're all very, very competitive, but when you see one of your brothers or your friends struggling like that, you always check on him to make sure he is OK. Melo is going to keep competing. I never want him to beat the Clippers, but I want him to do well."
There has long been speculation that Paul and Anthony want to play together, creating a superteam that could rival that of the LeBron James-Dwyane Wade-Chris Bosh trio in Miami. That has led to a rumor that Anthony could try to force his way to the Clippers via a sign-and-trade, a possibility that remains a longshot because the Knicks would have to acquiesce.
But, remember, it was at the All-Star game in 2010 that James, Bosh and Wade first discussed banding together in Miami when all three hit free agency a few months later. Paul's close relationship with Anthony will always keep rumors of them joining forces afloat.
In the end, the most likely scenario remains that Anthony will go through the free-agent recruiting process, then simply re-sign with New York. "Of course, I would be OK with that," Paul said, brushing off the notion of Anthony going to the Clippers. "I would support him no matter what he chooses to do."
While there is no question that Anthony's future is looming over the entire Knicks season, Paul said Anthony's focus is firmly in the present.
"I think for him, right now, he is not even concerned about the summer," Paul said. "He is concerned about right now. Melo was at dinner, and I could see it on his face-he was still upset about the game they lost Wednesday night. It is the ups and downs of a season, but Melo is a big boy, he will be all right."

A woman has been charged with assault by police investigating the disappearance of a Rotorua woman.
Police probing the disappearance of Michelle Hoffman-Tamm were also examining an area of interest between Rotorua and Murupara this evening.
Ms Hoffman-Tamm, 51, was last seen on her red mountainbike on November 7 when she left the Philip Street home she shared with her partner to visit friends.
Police said "significant developments'' in the investigation this morning led police to a rural location close to State Highway 38 between Rotorua and Murupara about 5pm.
The area, and a house in Rotorua, would undergo a forensic examination.
Ms Hoffman-Tamm's bike was found today at a third location in a Rotorua suburb.
A 44-year-old woman would appear at Rotorua District Court tomorrow morning and further charges were likely, police said.
Police wanted to hear from anyone who was in the area of Holland Street between 6pm on November 7 and November 11 and in Victoria Street between November 11 and November 12.
They were particularly interested in the movements of a two-tone light-coloured Subaru Legacy stationwagon between the 7th and the 12th, travelling around Rotorua or between Rotorua, Whakatane and Murupara.
Ms Hoffman-Tamm's family were being kept informed.
Yesterday, which marked two weeks since her disappearance, her sister Jan Donlan made an emotional plea for her "generous" and "good-hearted" sister to come home.
She said the disappearance was completely out of character.
"She's gone off to have a good time sometimes but never anything like this. We've always known where she was," Ms Donlan said.
Ms Donlan said the family, including her sister's two adult children and three grandchildren, were extremely worried.
Police would not comment yesterday whether Ms Hoffman-Tamm had her mobile phone with her when she disappeared but confirmed it had not been used since November 7. He said she was not believed to have had access to any money since that time either.

Indigenous psychologies: research and experience in cultural context
Sage Publications, 1993 - Psychology - 296 pages
Fourteen different cultures from five continents are represented in this volume, which asks Western psychologists to rethink the premises of their discipline and conceptualize a new universal psychology. With examples from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America, contributors emphasize that psychology has traditionally meant Western psychology. However, psychology practised in other parts of the world raises alternative views of human behaviour.
Contributors argue that indigenous psychology requires each culture to be understood within its own frame of reference and examined in terms of its own social and ecological context. They present aspects of their own indigenous psychology, demonstrating the diversity a

Nats have yet to hit stride, but Williams confident
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals should be significantly better than their overall early-season performance has indicated. Perhaps they could even be as good as they were in the ninth inning Wednesday night.
On the verge of being swept in a three-game series at home by the Angels, down 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Nats staged a remarkable revival and emerged with a 5-4 victory.View Full Game Coverage
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals should be significantly better than their overall early-season performance has indicated. Perhaps they could even be as good as they were in the ninth inning Wednesday night.
On the verge of being swept in a three-game series at home by the Angels, down 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Nats staged a remarkable revival and emerged with a 5-4 victory.View Full Game Coverage
It was a tribute to perseverance, will, skill, whatever you want. And it was a salvage job at the same time. A loss here would have left the Nationals at .500 and 4-9 over their last 13 games. With a loss, their primary perception of this series could have been essentially playing the polite fall guys in the Albert Pujols movie: "How I Hit My 499th and Then 500th Home Runs."
Instead, they have this stirring comeback to remember. The Washington ninth featured a home run by catcher Jose Lobaton, a tying two-run double on a 3-0 pitch by right fielder Jayson Werth, and a game-winning single by first baseman Adam LaRoche.
Just like that, the Nats went from deeply minus to extremely plus.
"Last night, we were sitting here talking about how bad we are, and tonight, it's a different story," Werth said with a smile. "It's a crazy game."
Come-from-behind victories early in the season, as Werth said, offer something to build on for a team's confidence over the long haul.
"It doesn't look good being down in the ninth with their closer [Ernesto Frieri] in there," Nationals manager Matt Williams said, adding in regard to his players: "But if they've shown anything, it's that they fight."
That's the plus side, and it's substantial. But there have been areas of concern for what must be regarded as an exceptionally talented team. Most troubling for the Nationals was the fact that over their first 21 games, they led the Majors in errors with 23. Shortstop Ian Desmond, who is typically much better than this defensively, led the way with eight errors.
Williams, the new manager, is doing exactly what he should be doing, which is publicly keeping the faith. The Nats held an early infield practice Wednesday, initiated by the players, at which three infield regulars were present; Desmond, third baseman Anthony Rendon and second baseman Danny Espinosa.
This encouraged Williams.
"They came out on their own free will today, which is good," the manager said. "That shows me something. They care about it.
"So they're working hard at it. There's only one way to get out of something you're in. If you're in a slump, you hit. If we're not playing clean, then we work at it. That's just the way baseball is, that's what you have to do."
The unsightly number of errors, Williams assured one and all, was an aberration.
"I do believe that this is not the norm," Williams said. "And I think we'll see that. I don't believe that's our norm. We'll just continue to work."
Here is the question that lingers with the 2014 Nats: Which team is this? There have been injuries, certainly, and no one would argue the notion that the club will be better when, for instance, Ryan Zimmerman is playing regularly again and Doug Fister is in the starting rotation.
But overall, this is not a vastly different team than the 2012 Nationals, who led the Majors in regular-season victories with 98. It is also not dramatically different from the 2013 Nationals, who won 86 games and underachieved.
The 2014 Nats are 12-10. They have not arrived at catastrophe's corner. But there is general agreement that their overall level of play should be higher.
"I don't think we've played well yet," Williams said. "That's what I see. There's been spots of good. There's been spots of great. We've seen big comebacks, things like that. But over the course of a number of games, I don't think we've put it together, yet. I do believe that we will. But as of right now, that hasn't happened. We continue to work hard to get to that point.
"It's difficult when you're not playing as well as you want to play. Everybody's human. Everybody's got emotions. Does it bother [Desmond] when he makes an error? Of course. It would bother me, it would bother you. And the fact that those types of things have led to big innings makes it even worse.
"So I'm concerned about the guys and how they feel. My job is to make sure that they know that I'm OK with them. They're working hard. They're doing what they're supposed to do. And we'll get to that point where we're playing really well."
The Nationals got to that point Wednesday night, at the very moment when hope was fading and being swept at home looked like a near-certainty. The next move up the ladder would be to "put it together," as Williams says, get to a better level, and stay there over time, preferably most of the 2014 season.

Hillary Clinton has a very powerful friend in her corner: Olivia Pope. Political worlds – fake and real – collided when the Democratic presidential candidate stopped by the set of "Scandal" Monday in California, delighting stars Kerry Washington, Darby Stanchfield, Scott Foley and Tony Goldwyn. Clinton happened to stop by on a day when Foley was behind the camera.
"So, this happened while I was directing tonight. No big deal.#imwithher," Foley shared on Instagram along with the below selfie.
Goldwyn, who plays President Fitzgerald Grant on the series, praised the former secretary of state. "Thanks @HillaryClinton for visiting our alternate universe tonight! You are the ultimate #Gladiator !!! #ImWithHer," he tweeted.
Washington sharedtwo photos, including one with this caption: "A good friend came by set today. Proud to say... #imwithher"
"Scandal" is taking a page from real life by having Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young), the former first lady and current senator, run for president. Olivia Pope is helping with her campaign. Yes, the same Olivia Pope who had an ongoing affair with Mellie's husband. You know, TV politics. Young didn't share anything on Clinton's visit – yet.
"Wow! Look who stopped by the set of #Scandal tonight," Stanchfield tweeted.
Request for comment from ABC about Clinton's visit was not immediately returned.
The "Scandal" set is just the latest Hollywood pit stop Clinton has made on her campaign. She recently filmed a cameo on Comedy Central's "Broad City" with stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson.
"Scandal" airs Thursdays, 9 p.m. on ABC.

For many travellers, it's all about the journey. The act of getting from one place to the next is where the fun is. Looking out at passing towns on a train or meandering on a boat through glistening waters gives you time to ponder and reflect on where you have been and where you are going. But gone are the days when boarding a plane gets our adventurous juices flowing, the time has come to explore more unconventional forms of travel.
Here we share with you two of the monumental journeys you can take with us here at Inkaterra that will give you the chance to see some of the remote, picturesque landscapes for which our country is famed.
A train journey from Inkaterra La Casona to Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo
It's been said that the train journeys in Peru are some of the most spectacular in South America. Boarding the train in Cusco, you'll travel along a mountainous backdrop to Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu. Passengers are treated to jaw-dropping scenery as well as some rather unusual on-board entertainment. There's even the chance to get some shopping done – watch out for the stewardess modelling some alpaca clothing for sale!
A boat ride along the Madre de dios River to Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica and Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción
Jumping aboard a long boat at Puerto Maldonado jetty, you'll set sail along this wide tributary of the Amazon River to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción and Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica.
The Madre de Dios River flows through Southern Peru's rainforest region, the country's biodiversity capital. With plenty of caymen, birds and turtles to spot, it's a fun way to start any trip in the Amazon jungle.

I totally forgot to post this party, so it is a little late. This party had a lot of details, but since we met up at the park, a lot of the details were missed or not photographed. We played lots of games, including one where we threw darts at balloons in the shape of an apple for the pinata, but I guess I didn't get a picture of it! It was a party fit for a little Rapunzel. If you ask Ellie what she wants to be when she grows up she will tell you "A mom. and then Rapunzel."
Hope you had a great time, Sweet Princess!

The Investment Committee adopted the following key findings from the OECD report on "The interaction between investment and services chapters in selected Regional Trade Agreements". For further information, download the full text.
Key findings
This report analyses the interactions between the investment and services chapters of 20* Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs), in terms of the implications for levels of investment protection and liberalisation.
RTAs can generally be classified into two broad categories of NAFTA-inspired and GATS-inspired agreements. Investment disciplines in the former are lodged in the investment chapter and there is limited interaction with the services chapter. In GATS-inspired agreements, investment disciplines are divided between the services and the investment chapters and as a consequence interactions between them are more prevalent and are governed in either the investment or in the services chapter.
The level of investment protection is determined by the scope and coverage of the investment protection provisions and not by the type of interaction between the two chapters. In both types of RTAs, investment in services industries may benefit from the protections provided by the investment chapter (such as on expropriation, transfers, compensation for losses or investor-to-state dispute settlement). As investment provisions vary from one RTA to another, some countries have decided to maintain a former BIT alongside the more recently negotiated RTA.
Concerning the level of investment liberalisation, NAFTA-inspired agreements tend to have an advantage in terms of the number of sectors covered by non-discrimination disciplines and the degree of transparency and predictability through a "one-shot" liberalisation encompassing all sectors and a "ratchet" mechanism that locks in future reforms. GATS-inspired agreements are often favoured by countries that want to preserve a certain flexibility and progressiveness in their liberalisation, while they reform and establish new regulatory frameworks. But the differences between the two approaches should not be overstated.
Provisions on future liberalisation and transparency can add transparency and predictability in the context of GATS-inspired agreements, while flexibility also exists in NAFTA-inspired agreements through reservations on existing and future non-conforming measures.
An ambitious level of investment liberalisation in a GATS-inspired agreement is possible by taking commitments in additional sectors or by increasing the transparency of schedules. Progressive liberalisation of investment can in principle also be pursued in NAFTA-inspired RTAs. Even more recently, some GATS-inspired agreements provide insights into the possibilities offered by a combination of positive and negative listing.
Several factors influence the choice of a GATS- or NAFTA-inspired approach: existing liberalisation of the negotiating partners' regimes; their administrative capacity; past approaches; and the pace at which they wish to liberalise. Choosing between positive or negative listing (or a hybrid approach) is a matter for negotiation between partners.
Not all agreements include a most-favoured-nation clause (MFN). When they do, GATS-inspired agreements tend to prevent the MFN rule from applying to third parties through a regional economic integration organisation (REIO) exception clause. Nonetheless, new investment liberalisation in third party agreements may be extended to parties of earlier RTAs, following a review of commitments. A difference in NAFTA-inspired agreements tends to be that the MFN rule can apply as regards future agreements that might contain better treatment for investors. However some countries have listed reservations in specific sectors limiting the extension of any possible better treatment. In the light of this, one can question the effectiveness of the MFN rule with respect to investment liberalisation in creating a level playing field between investors from various Parties.
|* The list includes one North/North agreement (AUSFTA), 13 North/South agreements (NAFTA, US CAFTA-DR, US-Morocco, Japan-Singapore, Japan-Mexico, Japan-Malaysia, TAFTA, EC-Chile, EC Jordan, EFTA-Korea (EFTA-Singapore, TPSEP and ANZSCEP) and six South/South agreements (Chile-Korea, India-Singapore, ASEAN agreements, COMESA and Andean Community Decisions).

Goserelin Before Radiation
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am on Goserelin (Zoladex) for 3 months and one renewal before radiation. Please advise what is the optimal time of Goserelin before radiation?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear S,
Thank you for your interest and question.
The question you raised is very common, and the answer remains controversial. For years, oncologists have been using androgen-ablation therapy (like Goserelin) for prostate cancer. The long-term use of androgen-ablation therapy has proven effective on short-term local control, disease free survival, and overall survival in selected patients with prostate cancer. A number of trials using different timings, dosings, and durations of hormone use have been conducted. The follow-up of those trials remains too short to draw any definitive conclusions.
The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (Journal of Clinical Oncology, 15:1013-1021, 1997) reported a randomized phase III trial (Protocol 8531) of adjuvant Goserelin in definitively irradiated patients with organ confined prostate cancer. Patients were randomized either to radiotherapy and adjuvant Goserelin (arm I) or to radiotherapy alone followed by observation and application of Goserelin at the time of relapse (arm II). This study demonstrated significant improvement in local control and freedom from disease progression with adjuvant androgen suppression using Goserelin (Arm I). However, the median follow-up time was only 4.5 years. A Canadian trial reported by Dr. Laverdiere (International Journal of radiation Oncology, biology, and Physics, 37:247-252, 1997) randomized patients between external beam radiation therapy alone (group 1), 3 months of hormone prior to radiation (group 2), and a third group receiving hormone 3 months before, during, and 6 months after radiation. The preliminary results suggest that patients treated with radiation therapy alone (Group I) had a significantly higher rate of positive biopsies at 12 and 24 months after the end of radiation therapy. No comparison was made between group 2 and 3.
Longer follow-up and more trials will be needed to determine the true role of androgen-ablation therapy as a complement to local prostate therapy. You should talk to your doctor regarding hormonal therapy.

World Book Night has completely cleared me out of books!
World Book Night was fantastic event (read mine and N's write-ups of it on the LeedsBookClub blog) and really successful, in that we shared a lot of books with a lot of people, but the Suitcase is looking pretty diminished as a result!
A lot of people often say that they have loads of books just lying around, and that they wish they'd known about The TSL to donate!
Well NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!!!!
I will take any books that you think people should read. Any genre, any period, fiction, non fiction, graphic novels, whatever.
I will also COME TO YOU. If you are somewhere I can get to on a bus, I shall bring the sad, empty suitcase and fill it. You can be safe knowing that your books are going to people who will read for pleasure, or even those who've never read for pleasure before. Who knows, your books could change someones life.
Obviously I'd much rather you donate your books to charity shops, and if I weren't so skint I'd just go round Headingley and fill up the suitcase from purchases, but I am, and have two book swaps booked this month, so I have to go hunting for donations. I promise that once I have a bit more money I will make a donation to charity so that no one misses out by your donating the books to the TSL.
If you have any books at all you can donate, please leave a comment or get in touch on twitter @bookelfleeds or email me bookelfleeds at gmail dot com. Thank you so so so so much!!!
Your Suitcase Needs You!

Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles are an easy holiday candy to make, and they last a while, so you can make them ahead. You can use any type of flavoring in the chocolate. Vanilla is used here, but peppermint or hazelnut would also work well. You can also infuse the cream with flavors such as Earl Grey tea, lavender, or rose. Just steep the hot cream with your flavor, and then strain it before pouring it over the chocolate.

Shields continues road success in Cleveland
CLEVELAND -- On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again. That's James Shields for you.
Since joining the Royals, Shields has become quite the happy traveling troubadour with a dozen victories away from Kansas City. His latest win came over the Indians, 8-2, with Mike Moustakas pounding a three-run homer and Eric Hosmer going 4-for-5 on a chilly Tuesday night at Progressive Field.View Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again. That's James Shields for you.
Since joining the Royals, Shields has become quite the happy traveling troubadour with a dozen victories away from Kansas City. His latest win came over the Indians, 8-2, with Mike Moustakas pounding a three-run homer and Eric Hosmer going 4-for-5 on a chilly Tuesday night at Progressive Field.View Full Game Coverage
Shields went six innings in his 22nd road start since being acquired by the Royals before last season. In addition to a 12-4 record, he has a 2.07 ERA on the road. By contrast, at Kauffman Stadium he's 3-7 in 17 starts with a 4.18 ERA.
This was his fourth road start this season.
"I've been feeling comfortable on the road," Shields said. "What have I got -- five games under my belt now and four of 'em on the road? And I think I had five out of six games on the road in Spring Training, too, so I'm getting used to pitching on the road."
As a bonus, Shields' nine strikeouts gave him 21 in his last two starts, most in back-to-back outings by a Royals pitcher since Zack Greinke struck out 23 on Aug. 19 and 25, 2009, his American League Cy Young Award year. Shields had six of his strikeouts in his last two innings.
All that despite Shields' admission that he didn't have his best stuff going and Indians manager Terry Francona had his hitters making him work hard.
"I was telling the guys that was vintage Francona over there. He makes all the pitchers work," Shields said. "Those guys did a great job. Every time I face these guys, they give me a battle. They work the count, they go deep in the count."
Shields had a workload of 106 pitches in his six innings.
"They did make him work," said manager Ned Yost, "and he started to labor a little bit right at the end of the sixth, his pitch count got up but nine punchouts and combine that with what he did his last start, that's pretty impressive work."
After Shields left, Danny Duffy worked two innings, giving him 8 1/3 shutout innings since joining the bullpen, and Aaron Crow added a scoreless ninth.
Moustakas' three-run blast ignited a four-run fourth for the Royals. He connected against right-hander Danny Salazar, who had just thrown three hitless innings.
"He's a great pitcher, he's got a lot of good stuff and his pitches are electric," Moustakas said. "We were able to get to him that inning, and when you put up a couple of runs with Shields on the mound, it's a tough task for any team to battle back."
Hosmer and Billy Butler launched the inning with back-to-back singles and waited while Alex Gordon fouled out and Salvador Perez fanned. On Salazar's 1-1 pitch, Moustakas sent a 405-foot shot soaring into the right-field stands.
It was just the seventh home run for the Royals this season, but the third for Moustakas.
In hindsight, Salazar thought perhaps he was tipping his pitches and perhaps Moustakas knew a changeup was coming.
"He maybe didn't know, but maybe he was ready for that pitch," Salazar said. "That was a mistake [by] me of throwing it. I should've thrown a fastball outside or something. Not back-to-back changeups."
Alcides Escobar followed with a single, then stole second and went to third as catcher Yan Gomes' peg sailed into center field. Jarrod Dyson dropped a bunt along the first-base line and was safe easily as Escobar scored for a 4-1 lead. After that it was just a matter of tacking on insurance runs.
Salazar's evening ended with back-to-back doubles by Hosmer and Butler off the wall in the fifth. The Butler belt, to dead center field, came within inches and a touch of Michael Bourn's glove from being his first home run.
"I thought me and Hoz both did it. I'll get one eventually," Butler said.
The Royals finished with 13 hits, matching their season high for a game, indicating that perhaps the offense is coming around after a slow start.
"You knew it would sooner or later, the offense is just too good. We've got too much faith in these guys as an offensive unit," Yost said. "The first three innings, Salazar was nails. His split was tough. Moose finally got a split that was hanging a little bit up, and just drove it into the seats."
Hosmer had two of his four hits off Salazar.
"We know any time that Shields is on the mound, we know we've got to do what we can to produce any kind of runs because we know it's not going to take many runs when he's on the mound," Hosmer said. "So after that big swing from Moose, it just kind of loosened everybody up to play with a lead and play comfortable."
For his part, Shields feels that the Royals are getting all phases of their game in sync.
"I think the hitters are starting to get it going here," Shields said. "And our defense is playing phenomenal right now and I think that kind of gets overlooked quite a bit. It's nice to play well in all facets of the game."
He modestly didn't mention that the pitchers are doing all right, too, with the second-best ERA in the AL.

Cleveland options Barnes to Clippers; two Akron pitchers report
The Cleveland Indians optioned relief pitcher Scott Barnes to the Clippers today after a one-game appearance in yesterday's doubleheader in Kansas City.
Columbus also placed pitcher Giovanni Soto on the 7-day disabled list and added right-handed pitchers Kyle Landis and Toru Murata from the double-A Akron roster.
Murata has started four games for the Aeros this season and is 1-2 with a 3.63 earned run average. Landis is 1-1 with a 6.94 ERA in nine relief appearances.

State Sen. Toi Hutchinson of Olympia Fields gained the endorsement today of Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle for the Democratic nomination in the special primary to decide a replacement for former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., aides to both officials said.
Preckwinkle's pick was somewhat of a surprise given her former chief administrative officer, Robin Kelly of Matteson, stepped down from the post to also seek the Democratic nomination.
In all, 17 Democrats are on the ballot for the Feb. 26 special primary election, as well as five Republicans. The Democratic primary is viewed as all but picking the winner in the April 9 general election because the South Side and south suburban district is so heavily Democratic.
Hutchinson replaced former state Sen. Debbie Halvorson of Crete in the General Assembly after Halvorson was elected to one term in the U.S. House. In 2010, Halvorson lost a bid for re-election against Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Manteno. Halvorson also lost a March primary bid against Jackson but is again seeking the nomination.
