Driveway Safety
The death or risk of serious injury to a child caused by a collision with a vehicle at home has understandably captured the attention of the broader Australian community in recent years. A series of tragic incidents involving small children prompted road safety and injury prevention specialists to examine the issues surrounding this problem and to consider potential solutions.
Driveway safety was a focus of the 2012 National Road Safety Forum. The forum considered the role of vehicle safety technologies, driver education and awareness campaigns, parental awareness and closer supervision, and housing design measures, and concluded that all of these approaches are important. This page provides further information about a number of these activities.
Driveway Safety Brochure
The brochure "Driveway Safety: Are your kids at risk?" provides advice about keeping children safe around vehicles at home. Copies are available on request and the brochure is available for download in a number of non-English languages.
Driveway Safety Design Guidelines
The Department worked with a number of industry experts to develop a proposed framework of design principles and measures, which could form the basis of a best practice, voluntary design guide to help home owners, builders and designers make choices that reduce the risks to children.
On 25 June 2013 the Department released a discussion paper setting out the proposed design principles and measures, seeking the views of all interested parties, with submissions received until 20 August 2013.
- Discussion paper PDF: 369 KB
Submissions were received from 52 organisations and individuals, including state government agencies, local councils, community-based organisations, private business and the general public. The following report summarises the feedback received.

Child Pedestrian Safety Research
The Bureau of Infrastructure Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) report Child pedestrian safety: 'driveway deaths' and 'low-speed vehicle run-overs', Australia, 2001–10, is available from the BITRE website.
Reversing Camera Research
The Department has also been pursuing research into the effectiveness of reversing cameras in reducing casualties, both in driveways and on public roads. The report 'Camera effectiveness and backover collisions with pedestrians: a feasibility study' identifies international data sources in relation to back-over collisions with pedestrians and outlines how the effectiveness of reversing cameras could best be measured using the available international data sources. As this is a preliminary scoping study only, the report does not provide an actual estimate of reversing camera effectiveness.
A detailed second stage study has been jointly initiated by the Australian and NSW Governments.

NRMA Insurance publishes a Reversing Visibility Index, which measures how well a driver can see out the back of a car.

Airport Food That's Actually Good
The holiday season means family, and family means airports and airports mean overpriced, depressingly mediocre food options. Airport dining can be pretty bleak. Or at least, it was much bleaker years ago. Thankfully, airport food options have improved quite a bit over the last decade with new chef-designed concepts and local brands popping up.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO), for example, offers Acme bread, Cowgirl Creamery, and more Bay Area favorites; these local products now make up 85 percent of SFO's food offerings. Over at O'Hare airport, the Mexican sandwiches from Rick Bayless's concept Tortas Frontera are not just good by airport standards, they're good by sandwich standards, period. We wish every airport could make us a chorizo and egg breakfast torta before an early morning flight.
Since many of us will be boarding flights in the coming days and weeks, we wanted to share some decent airport bites we've had recently. How about you? Do you have a favorite airport snack? Or do you play it safe and pack your own PB&J?

Domesticated animals' juvenile appearance tied to embryonic cells
Mild defects in early development could explain physical similarities across species
Ruth Ellison/Flickr (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
A group of traits common among domesticated animals may arise when a wandering group of multitasking embryonic cells lose their way, a new theory of domestication proposes.
The wandering cells are neural crest cells, which appear early in development in vertebrate embryos. The cells migrate around the embryo and contribute to the development of many tissues, including cartilage and bone in the face, smooth muscle, pigment cells, parts of the nervous system and the adrenal glands, which control the fight-or-flight response. Mild defects in the cells' migration or function lead to "domestication syndrome," three scientists propose in the July Genetics. The syndrome is a cluster of traits often seen in tame mammals including white-spotted coats, floppy ears and juvenile-like faces.
In selecting compliant companions instead of more aggressive members of the same species, humans may have

One of our favorite ways to eat green beans is with salsa. The tomatoes, onions, chiles, spices, and vinegar perk up the beans in the most wonderful way.
This bean salad recipe is sort of a riff on the salsa theme, taking it up a notch with pickled jalapeños, cilantro, cotija cheese, and avocados. It would make a perfect picnic salad for a Mexican themed potluck. If you love Mexican food, I'm willing to bet you'll love this salad as much as we do.
Mexican Green Bean Salad RecipePrint
Make sure to use the freshest green beans you can find. Good green beans should feel firm and should snap in half, not bend, when you try to bend them.
- 1 lb fresh green beans, strings removed, ends snapped off, cut in half into about 1 1/2 inch length pieces
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp lime juice or white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican oregano if you can get it)
- 3/4 cup packed, chopped cilantro
- 1/3 cup canned, pickled jalapeño chili peppers, sliced
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (salty Mexican cheese that resembles feta)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced or cut into inch long pieces
- 1 medium tomato, cut into 8 wedges, or a cup of halved cherry tomatoes
1 Simmer the green beans: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and simmer until just crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beans and run cold water over them to cool them quickly. Drain completely.
2 Marinate in dressing ingredients: Place beans in a large bowl. Gently mix in the the lime juice or vinegar, olive oil, 1/4 cup onion, sliced pickled jalapeños, sea salt, oregano and cilantro. Let sit for half an hour.
3 Mix in red onion and cheese: When ready to serve, gently mix in the chopped red onion and cotija cheese. Serve the avocado slices and tomato wedges on the side or mixed into the salad.

Geoengineering, the large-scale manipulation of a specific process central to controlling Earth's climate for the purpose of obtaining a specific benefit. Global climate is controlled by the amount of solar radiation received by Earth and also by the fate of this energy within the Earth system—that is, how much is absorbed by Earth's surface and how much is reflected or reradiated back into space. The reflectance of solar radiation is controlled by several mechanisms, including Earth's surface albedo and cloud coverage and the presence in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). If geoengineering proposals are to influence global climate in any meaningful way, they must intentionally alter the relative influence of one of these controlling mechanisms.
Geoengineering proposals were first developed in the middle of the 20th century. Relying on technologies developed during World War II, such proposals were designed to alter weather systems in order to obtain more favourable climate conditions on a regional scale. One of the best-known techniques is cloud seeding, a process that attempts to bring rain to parched farmland by dispersing particles of silver iodide or solid carbon dioxide into rain-bearing clouds. Cloud seeding has also been used in attempts to weaken tropical storms. In addition, the U.S. military suggested that nuclear weapons might be used as tools to alter regional climates and make certain areas of the world more favourable for human habitation. This proposal, however, was not tested.
Cloud seeding works on a regional scale, seeking to influence weather systems for the benefit of agriculture. Present-day geoengineering proposals have focused on the global scale, particularly as evidence has mounted of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations and thus the prospect of global warming. Two fundamentally different approaches to the problem of global climate change have arisen. The first approach proposes the use of technologies that would increase the reflectance of incoming solar radiation, thus reducing the heating effect of sunlight upon Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. However, altering Earth's heat budget by reflecting more sunlight back into space might offset rising temperatures but would do nothing to counter the rising concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere. The second geoengineering approach focuses on this problem, proposing to remove CO2 from the air and store it in areas where it cannot interact with Earth's atmosphere. This approach is more appealing than the first because it has the potential to counteract both rising temperatures and rising carbon dioxide levels. In addition, reducing CO2 in the air could address the problem of ocean acidification. Vast amounts of atmospheric CO2 are taken up by the oceans and mixed with seawater to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). As the amount of carbonic acid rises in the ocean, it lowers the pH of seawater. Such ocean acidification could result in damage to coral reefs and other calcareous organisms such as sea urchins. Reducing the concentration of CO2 would slow and perhaps eventually halt the production of carbonic acid, which in turn would reduce ocean acidification.
To some scientists, global-scale geoengineering proposals border on science fiction. Geoengineering is also controversial because it aims to modify global climate—a phenomenon that is not yet fully understood and cannot be altered without risk. In the popular press there have been reports that view geoengineering as the final option to thwart climate change if all other measures to reduce CO2 emissions fail in the coming decades. Several studies advocate that rigorous testing should precede the implementation of any geoengineering proposal so that unintended consequences would be avoided. Each proposal described below would differ from the others in its potential efficiency, complexity, cost, safety considerations, and unknown effects on the planet, and all of them should be thoroughly evaluated before being implemented. Despite this, no proposed scheme has been purposefully tested, even as a small-scale pilot study, and hence the efficiency, cost, safety, or timescale of any scheme has never been evaluated.

Geoengineering schemes that could increase the reflectance of incoming solar radiation include the injection of sulfur particles into the stratosphere, the whitening of marine clouds, and the delivery of millions of tiny orbital mirrors or sunshades into space. It is important to note that a great deal of debate surrounds each of these schemes, and the feasibility of each one is difficult to ascertain. Clearly, their deployment at global scales would be difficult and expensive, and small-scale trials would reveal little about their potential effectiveness.
Stratospheric sulfur injection
The formation of an aerosol layer of sulfur in the stratosphere would increase the scattering of incoming solar radiation. As more radiation is scattered in the stratosphere by aerosols, less would be absorbed by the troposphere, the lower level of the atmosphere where weather primarily occurs. Proponents believe that sulfur injection essentially would mimic the atmospheric effects that follow volcanic eruptions. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, often cited as the inspiration of this proposal, deposited massive amounts of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. This aerosol layer was reported to have lowered average temperatures around the world by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) over the following few years. To produce an artificial aerosol layer, sulfur particles would be shot into the stratosphere by cannons or dispersed from balloons or other aircraft.
Cloud whitening
The process of cloud whitening relies upon towering spraying devices placed on land and mounted on oceangoing vessels. Such devices would expel a mist of pressurized seawater droplets and dissolved salts to altitudes up to 300 metres (1,000 feet). As the water droplets evaporate, proponents believe, bright salt crystals would remain to reflect incoming solar radiation. Later these crystals would act as condensation nuclei and form new water droplets, which in turn would increase overall marine cloud coverage, reflecting even more incoming solar radiation into space.
Orbital mirrors and sunshades
This proposal involves the placement of several million small reflective objects beyond Earth's atmosphere. It is thought that concentrated clusters of these objects could partially redirect or block incoming solar radiation. The objects would be launched from rockets and positioned at a stable Lagrangian point between the Sun and Earth. (Lagrangian points are locations in space at which a small body, under the gravitational influence of two large ones, will remain approximately at rest relative to them.) The premise is that as inbound solar radiation declines, there would be less energy available to heat Earth's lower atmosphere. Thus, average global air temperatures would fall.
Carbon-removal proposals
The carbon-removal approach would extract CO2 from other gases in the atmosphere by changing it into other forms of carbon (such as carbonate) through photosynthesis or artificial "scrubbing." This separated carbon then would be either sequestered in biomass at the surface or transported away for storage in the ocean or underground. Several carbon-removal geoengineering schemes have been considered. These include carbon burial, ocean fertilization, biochar production, and scrubbing towers or "artificial trees."
Carbon burial
Carbon burial, more commonly known as "carbon capture and storage," involves the pumping of pressurized CO2 into suitable geological structures (that is, with gas-tight upper layers to cap the buried carbon) deep underground or in the deep ocean (see carbon sequestration). The premise is that CO2 generated from the combustion of fossil fuels could be separated from other industrial emissions before these emissions were released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide could then be pumped through pipes into geological formations and stored for extended periods of time. The process of carbon burial requires the identification of many suitable sites followed by stringent leak-testing of individual sites. So far, injections of compressed CO2 have been used to aid in the extraction of natural gas, such as in the Sleipner Vest field in the North Sea, and the United States Department of Energy has funded the construction of several carbon-storage sites. The carbon-burial process could also make use of carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere using scrubbers (see below Scrubbers and artificial trees).
Ocean fertilization
Ocean fertilization would increase the uptake of CO2 from the air by phytoplankton, microscopic plants that reside at or near the surface of the ocean. The premise is that the phytoplankton, after blooming, would die and sink to the ocean floor, taking with them the CO2 that they had photosynthesized into new tissues. Although some of the material that sank would be returned to the surface through the process of upwelling, it is thought that a small but significant proportion of the carbon would remain on the ocean floor and become stored as sedimentary rock.
Ocean fertilization, which some scientists refer to as bio-geoengineering, would involve dissolving iron or nitrates into the surface waters of specific ocean regions to promote the growth of phytoplankton where primary productivity is low. For the scheme to be effective, it is thought that a sustained effort would be required from a fleet of vessels covering most of the ocean. Many authorities maintain that this scheme would take decades to unfold.
Biochar production
The production of biochar, a type of charcoal made from animal wastes and plant residues (such as wood chips, leaves, and husks), can sequester carbon by circumventing the normal decomposition process or acting as a fertilizer to enhance the sequestration rate of growing biomass. Normally, as organic material decomposes, the microbes breaking it down use oxygen and release CO2. If, however, the material were "cooked" in the absence of oxygen, it would decompose rapidly through pyrolysis. Little or no CO2 would be released, and the bulk of the organic material would harden into a kind of porous charcoal, essentially sequestering the carbon as a solid. Biochar mixed with soils might serve as a fertilizer, thus further increasing the carbon sequestration potential of plants growing in the soil. Some environmentalists see biochar as a breakthrough in carbon-sequestration technology, but its ability to reduce CO2 concentrations at global scales is a matter of some debate. In addition, some scientists see problems in ramping up the biochar production process to global scales, since farmers would have to decide between making charcoal for fertilizer or burning plant residue in cooking fires.
Scrubbers and artificial trees
Another form of carbon capture would involve the use of scrubbing towers and so-called artificial trees. In the scrubbing tower method, air would be funneled into a large, confined space within the towers by wind-driven turbines. As the air is taken in, it would be sprayed with one of several chemical compounds, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide. These chemicals would react with the CO2 in the air to form carbonate precipitates and water, and these by-products could then be piped to safe storage locations. In contrast, artificial trees essentially would be a series of sticky, resin-covered filters that would convert captured CO2 to a carbonate called soda ash. Periodically, the soda ash would be washed off the filters and collected for storage.
So far, several prototypes of each method have been built. Most scientists argue that an enormous number of scrubbing towers and artificial trees would be needed to counteract rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at global scales.

I know I said recently that I would limit my comments on the ongoing fight between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Chinese counterparts over access to audit materials, but an Op/Ed in yesterday's Financial Times forced my hand (or mouth, as it were).
I'll just do the lazy man's cut-paste-comment method instead of trying to summarize the thesis of Ann Lee, the author. Suffice it to say that Lee believes now is not the time for the U.S. to be picking this fight and that the downside of doing so might be significant. I find her arguments to be less than persuasive.
Let's have a look.
[T]he SEC move will strain a bilateral relationship with China that is already on the rocks.
[ . . . ]
Corporate America would not thank its government for risking access to China's growing middle-class market.
Fair enough. One could bring this up with just about any bilateral issue. The U.S.-China relationship is important and America should think twice before ratcheting up tensions. That being said, this cannot be a blanket reason for inaction on all fronts. Moreover, there is a need for additional oversight of U.S.-listed Chinese companies, many of which have been caught cooking the books. Surely the SEC, whose primary job is, or at least used to be, to protect investors (particularly non-institutional investors), can justify the need to act here.
If this dispute ends up with numerous Chinese companies de-listing, would Beijing retaliate against American foreign investors? I doubt it. China is big on reciprocity, but on a proportional basis. There is no reason to believe that China would somehow institute broad ranging market access restrictions against U.S. foreign direct investment. Perhaps something narrowly targeted (whatever that might be), but "corporate America" need not worry about this dispute too much.
By creating a situation where Chinese companies will be forced to delist, the SEC risks depriving US citizens of lucrative opportunities to invest in fast-growing companies. The US economy may also suffer in the long term if it earns a reputation for legal hostility to Chinese companies.
Lee, who used to work for a hedge fund, seems very concerned with investment opportunities. That's fine, but she doesn't seem too worried about consumer protection. That's why we have securities law in the first place, and even hedge funds benefit from greater transparency. Yes, it's possible that this fight might result in some Chinese companies de-listing, but does Lee really prefer that the SEC look the other way and simply trust that these companies and their auditors will cease tolerating fraud?
As to a U.S. reputation of hostility towards Chinese companies, I think that horse left the barn years ago (Huawei? ZTE? CNOOC?) and this dispute will neither be the genesis of such a reputation nor the end of its existence. Besides, in contrast to the treatment of companies like Huawei and ZTE, many of these U.S.-listed Chinese companies have already been found guilty of wrongdoing. Surely some of this "hostility" is warranted?
Obviously the US must honour its laws and treat everyone equally under them. However, two problems arise. First, laws themselves can be flawed. Some US laws have the effect of reducing competition so that large companies, which may have helped influence their passage, can maintain dominant positions on their turf. The Sarbanes-Oxley act, for example, imposed such onerous requirements that many young companies chose not to access public markets.
OK, my first reaction to this is to admit that yes, it is possible that the rules at issue here are flawed. Unfortunately, Ms. Lee never provides any details on what those flaws are or how the law might be rewritten to ameliorate the situation.
Additionally, Ms. Lee is once again showing off her investor mindset here by complaining about Sarbanes-Oxley. Look, I'm no fan of that law either, and I've had more than one Chinese company here tell me of how it shelved its U.S. IPO plans after factoring in the time and expense of legal compliance.
Yes, Sarbanes-Oxley may have resulted in fewer Chinese companies listing in the U.S. Ms. Lee sees this as lost investment opportunities. But it's also possible that some of these companies never belonged on a U.S. exchange to begin with and that Sarbanes-Oxley scared off some bad actors, a victory for consumer protection.
Second, regulators often have their own agendas. For instance, regulators may be tempted to punish small companies so that they can achieve quick recognition for being tough, while leaving larger companies alone. It is curious that the SEC is choosing to go after Chinese companies when the regulator so conspicuously failed to prosecute the Wall Street firms, or their auditors, responsible for the financial crisis. Again, the ones who lose out are the entrepreneurs, investors and society at large, while the privileged few benefit.
Uh, wow. Some real cognitive dissonance here. This whole dispute is about transparency and consumer protection. This benefits smaller investors more than the big boys, who should have sufficient resources to fully vet some of these dodgy Chinese companies. Ms. Lee is absolutely right that the SEC has been asleep on the job when it comes to prosecuting the folks responsible for the Great Recession, but how is that at all related to this dispute? Moreover, if some Chinese companies are forced to de-list as a result of this fight, how does this enrich the "privileged few" and deprive "society at large"? I'm genuinely puzzled by that statement.
Rather than pick fights with everyone, US regulators should learn to see the wood from the trees. As the world gets smaller, we must all make a greater effort to get along with each other. Understanding and respecting each other's laws would be a good place to start.
It is inevitable that at times the legal principles of two countries will clash. But in these cases a diplomatic solution ought to be the first course of action, rather than naming and shaming.
Blah blah blah. Why can't we all just get along and sing kumbaya around the campfire? Please.
The U.S. government is not picking fights with everyone, but it is trying to fix an outstanding problem that has already led to significant investor losses, not to mention across-the-board valuation problems for many U.S.-listed Chinese companies that have done nothing wrong (i.e., guilt by association).
And what's this about respecting one another's laws? These companies are coming into the U.S. to avail themselves of the American capital market. Shouldn't they have to follow U.S. law? I've represented U.S. companies in China for well over a decade, and believe me, they all have to follow China law when they come here. What's the difference? Moreover, note that when Ms. Lee says that nations should respect one another's laws, in this instance she is really suggesting that the U.S. should defer to China's laws, but she has not explained why.
Yes, there is a conflicting China law here, involving the disclosure of information that may be deemed state secrets. I personally think this state secrets argument is a pretext, but either way, if a compromise cannot be reached, we're dealing with U.S. listings, and U.S. legal concerns should prevail. Remember that the U.S. law at issue here is not discriminatory; it applies regardless of nationality.
Finally, Ms. Lee talks about a "diplomatic solution" as the first course of action. She must have been busy or something, because the authorities in both countries have been discussing this issue and looking for a solution for a year already. So far, diplomacy hasn't worked, but it definitely has been tried.
Try as I might, I'm not persuaded by any argument that places all the blame on the SEC and calls for some sort of unilateral disarmament. That might be acceptable to certain large, savvy investors, but not for everyone else.

Looking to get pregnant or repair blocked tubes? Take the first step. Get personalized attention and evaluations for free.
As a surgeon my reputation & integrity are extremely important to me. I've been providing new choices & new beginnings for over 14 yrs. Permanent is not forever at my practice.
Warm and inviting our state of the art surgical facility offers safe, affordable & personalized tubal reversal surgery. Dreams of starting a family become a reality here.
A Personal Choice, formerly Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, is exclusively dedicated to female and male sterilization reversal.
We pioneered affordable, outpatient tubal ligation reversal surgery and are responsible for more tubal reversal surgeries and more tubal reversal babies born than any other doctor or facility worldwide. We have meticulously tracked the pregnancy success of our patients and can proudly say we provide accurate and unbiased statistics about the success of our surgeries based upon our own results. No other facility will provide success statistics based upon results as extensive as ours.
We were the first doctors in the world to report within peer reviewed medical literature successful pregnancy after outpatient reversal of Essure sterilization. Since those initial case reports we have developed extensive expertise in Essure removal surgery. We offer outpatient Essure reversal and provide women who have undergone Essure sterilization an alternative to in-vitro fertilization. As a result of our extensive experience in removing Essure coils, we offer our patients having Essure symptoms a coil removal procedure with a low risk of coil fracture and provide these women with an alternative to hysterectomy.
We provide male patients with single, mini-incision vasectomy reversal using the same microsurgical techniques for female sterilization reversal. We do this in a facility dedicated to reversing vasectomy with an attentive staff dedicating to caring for patients who wish to reverse previous decisions.
We have further demonstrated our commitment to women's health by offering men Gentle Touch Vasectomy. This form of vasectomy is the most minimally invasive form of vasectomy and requires neither a needle nor a scalpel. We are the only providers in the Carolinas and Virginia who offer men no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy with the option of having their vasectomy done during a single visit.
Formerly we were Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center but we have changed our name and our location. We are now located in Raleigh, North Carolina and perform surgery in a new surgical facility exclusively dedicated to providing personal choices to both men and women.
Our patients now have easier access to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, stay in one of two exclusive hotels located in the trendy North Hills Mall of mid-town Raleigh, and are within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

They never give you false hope, but give you the complete story. I am so happy that we chose Dr. Monteith and his staff to make our dreams a reality. Can't wait to start trying to have a baby. I would and have recommended Dr. Monteith to ANYONE wanting a tubal ligation or vasectomy reversal. Thank you all so much for giving us this chance! "
"We had our surgery on 3/18/15 and on 02/02/16 our 7 pound 11 oz baby girl was born! I'm 34 years old and had tubal ligation done via clamps 8 years prior so this surgery really does work! 8 years later I had the reversal and 9 years later we were blessed with our little girl! So many doctors tried to talk us out of it-wanted us to do IVF to get our money-however praise God we went with this because it does WORK! Dr M is amazing and his staff! The area is beautiful where his office is, and if you do this procedure it will be the best money you ever spend! "
"I received my reversal last week and I just want to thank the staff for being so friendly. They made me feel comfortable from the first day I called, two years ago, to the moment I left the office, after my post op exam. The staff even made my fiance feel comfortable. Dr. Monteith informed us of all possible risks and answered all of our questions. I will always recommend A Personal Choice to all that inquire."
"We had our surgery on 3/6/2012 and got pregnant two weeks later!!!! Our son was born 12/1/2012 at 38 weeks weighing 7lbs 9oz. Our daughter came exactly 3 years later and was just born on 1/3/2016 at 37 weeks weighing 7lbs 1oz! Best decision I ever made and our experiance there from start to finish was amazing!!!"
"The perfect little angel that I'm holding in my arms right now is the best testament to what Dr. Monteith and his staff do for people. We could not be happier with our decision to use Dr. Monteith. His staff are just amazing. Our entire experience was just a dream! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!"

Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen Fund for IAML Congress Travel
Description of Fund
Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen
The Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen Fund for IAML Congress Travel, established by the Cohen family in Liesbeth's honor, is intended to help support travel to attend the annual congress of the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives, and Documentation Centres. The grant(s), a cash award, is usually offered annually. It is open to all individual members of IAML, with priority given to those attending their first or second congress and who either: (i) began their career as a music librarian within the previous three years; (ii) completed their professional degree in the year before or of the congress; or (iii) are giving a paper, extensive report, or a poster presentation at the congress. All things being equal some preference will be given to those likely to make an ongoing contribution to IAML.
Applicants for the award should receive little or no support from their home institution, library, or any other funding organization. A successful applicant may not receive a second award from this Fund.
Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen
LIESBETH HOEDEMAEKER-COHEN served for many years as a music reference librarian at the Amsterdam Public Library and later at the Haags Gemeentemuseum (The Hague) where she also undertook cataloguing and conservation work for the Dutch national library system. Her service to IAML included serving both as a member and as Vice President of its Sectie Muziekbibliotheken (then the national branch of IAML in the Netherlands), as Secretary and Vice-Chair of IAML's Research Libraries Branch, and assisting with the organization of the 1987 annual IAML congress (Amsterdam). In 1994 she was elected to the Board of De Koninklijke Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschiedenis, and the following year she coordinated a major exhibit of the manuscripts of Mahler's ten symphonies and orchestral songs at the Haags Gemeentemuseum for the International Mahler Festival (Amsterdam, 1995). Since 2005 she worked as editor of Dutch and English-language publications at the RIPM International Center (Baltimore).
Her contribution to RIPM was extensive. She produced annotated indexes for two nineteenth-century Dutch titles— including an eight-volume publication treating Caecilia: Algemeen Muzikaal Tijdschrift van Nederland (1844-1880)— and four nineteenth- and seven twentieth-century English-language music periodicals, including The Chesterian, The Penguin Music Magazine, Music, Music Survey, Music-Journal and The Julliard Review. She also quietly and with endless encouragement and support suffered the burden of living with the director of RIPM, while he struggled, at times, to keep the ship afloat in stormy seas.
Awards Committee
The Awards Committee is composed of six members: the President of IAML, one permanent committee member selected by the Director of RIPM, and four members selected by the IAML Board. Except for the permanent member, committee members serve for a term of three years and may not be reappointed for additional terms.
There are five voting members:
- one from Europe
- one from North America
- one in alternating three-year periods from Asia and Australia/New Zealand
- one selected without reference to geographical location
- the permanent member.
There is one generally non-voting ex officio member
- the IAML President, who will serve as chair of the committee.
Number of Annual Awards and Amount
The Awards Committee will determine the amount and number of awards based on available funds.
The Call for Applications is open (deadline: 31 January 2019).
Stanisław Hrabia (Jagiellonian University, Krakow), IAML President, Chair

It's always good to be able to talk the talk if you really want to get to know the lovely people of Lebanon. Here are a few pointers for people planning a trip here which may help you to bluff your way into longer more meaningful conversations.
Ps and Qs
First off a few niceties. To catch a waiter's attention use 'pleaze', but if you need to interrupt someone or ask a favour use 'sorrry'. Roll the 'r' again when expressing thanks – 'merci' – or enthusiastic thanks 'merci kteer'. 'No' is 'La2', the 2 signifying a glottal stop, or in layman's terms, that funny half-sound that replaces the 't' when most English say 'football'. A more expressive way to say 'no', is to lift your chin and clack your tongue in a loud tut.
Getting around
Taxis can be confusing as they often offer two types of service. If you want a door-to-door ride it's actually called a 'taxi' and will cost you 10,000 LL within town (pink face tax included; 8,000 if you really talk the talk). But if you want to be squeezed in with up to five other passengers and dropped off somewhere near your destination for a mere 'elfayn' (or 2,000) you should specify you want 'servees', which means 'don't try and con me even if I look foreign'. On a busy night or for a longer trip, the driver may counter with 'serveesayn', which is double the fee, and acceptable depending on demand.
Lebanese is beautifully simple in many ways. When you're waiting on the curb and a honking Mercedes, older than you are, pulls up to offer a 'servees' ride, no need for elaborate requests. Just ask 'Hamra?' or 'Adlieh?' or wherever you want to go. If it's on his way, or he can reconcile it with his other passengers, he'll pause just long enough for you to scramble in. If he roars off leaving you in a cloud of exhaust, well, that's a 'no'. He may or may not bother to tut, but you get the point.
'Fo2' doesn't just mean the preposition 'up' it also means the place 'up', whatever it may be, so 'up the hill', 'up in the mountain', 'our higher altitude home as opposed to our coastal residence' or simply 'upstairs'. The opposite (for all options) is 'taHt'. When out and about you may be offered something you do not wish to accept (eg coffee, shoe polishing and so on), you can politely decline with 'mara taani', literally 'second time', that is 'another time' and also covering the possibility of 'not now and probably not ever'.
Working 'barra', or 'outside' does not mean farmwork or roofing, it means working abroad. Bear in mind there are more Lebanese 'outside' than there are still living in the country so this is an ever present concept. It can also be a matter of status, as diplomas obtained 'outside', or products which have been imported have a perceived edge over their local equivalents.
Being a good guest
Dinner conversation is also useful, as eating is a delightful, frequent and lengthy pastime in Lebanon. 'SaHtein' means 'bon appetit' or literally 'two healths'. You should reply 'Aa-elbak' (or 'Aa-elbik to a girl) to wish good health back on their heart for thinking of your belly, but if you forget how, 'merci' will do. You will necessarily want to compliment the hostess and tell her that 'kill shi tayyeb', everything is delicious, because it always will be. You may wish to use 'selim dayetik' to bless her hands for their hard work.
By the time the starter is done, you may be asked various questions which translate literally as 'Have you put on weight?' 'When will you start trying for a baby?' and 'Do you digest beans well?' Don't be scared. The meaning is, well, literal, but if you wish to take some liberty with the responses feel free. It does make first encounters more fun.

When I talk to all the light truck manufacturers -- GM, Ford, Dodge, and Toyota mainly -- I keep hearing the same, singular comment about light truck owners: they want more power (horsepower and torque) and don't really care too much about fuel economy.
This is simplfiying things a great deal, but there it is -- engines, especially light-duty diesels, are cranking out more HP and torque, while fuel economy either stays flat or drops. My question to the reader out there is: does this analysis really hold water? If you have to choose between power and fuel economy, does power really win every time? And what does 'power' really mean to you anyway? Does it translate into more trailer towing capacity, more offroad capability, what?
Love to hear your thoughts on that.

A Chinese government spokeswoman is acknowledging that officials representing Moammar Gadhafi met with Chinese arms dealers during a trip to Beijing in July.
But she said Monday the Chinese government did not know about the meetings and no deals were made.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Beijing now knows about the meetings in July between Gadhafi representatives and Chinese businesses.
Jiang says the meetings took place without the knowledge of what she described as the relevant Chinese government departments. She adds that Chinese companies did not sign any trade contracts to provide any military exports to Libya.
A Canadian newspaper first reported on the meetings Sunday. The Globe and Mail published Arabic-language documents found inside Libya that appear to show Chinese companies offered to sell $200 million worth of arms. Such weapons sales would have violated United Nations sanctions on Libya.
The Chinese spokeswoman stressed that China has adopted what she described as a "cautiously responsible" attitude toward military exports to Libya, in accordance with the arms embargo imposed by the U.N. Security Council.
Jiang says China maintains strict management over all military exports. She says authorities responsible for military exports take this matter very seriously, but she did not indicate whether there would be any investigation of the meetings.
When asked if the latest developments would negatively affect China's relations with the National Transitional Council that now controls most of Libya, Jiang repeated that Beijing values "the important status and role" of the NTC and wants to stay in close contact with it. At the same time, she said, China supports a leading role for the United Nations in Libya's post-war reconstruction process.
China is the only one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council that has not officially recognized the NTC as Libya's new leaders. China has invested billions of dollars in Libya's oil sector but it is not clear whether the NTC will honor all of the contracts signed by the Gadhafi government.
Earlier this year, China and Russia abstained, but did not block, a U.N. Security Council vote for a resolution authorizing NATO-led air strikes to protect Libyan civilians. But China later called for a ceasefire, saying the NATO action exceeded its U.N. mandate. voa

In the latest edition of our bimonthly series, industry consultant Casey Conrad calls on her expertise to put together a successful ad for the Yelloe Pages.
The Yellow Pages. It's the first place where your prospect's fingers "do the walking" when they are interested in buying a health club membership.
A Yellow Pages ad is a big investment; the ad stays the same for an entire year and is in the book with dozens of other competitors. The question, therefore, is, "What is it that is going to make your ad stand out to prospects so they are drawn to call you before your competitors?" Let's analyze what a Yellow Pages ad is supposed to do and look at four simple steps you can follow to generate more calls.
The first thing to note when designing an ad is that the Yellow Pages is not supposed to be the place for an ad that creates desire; it is a place for ads that give directions. People looking at the Yellow Pages already have the desire to buy-they just haven't decided from where. Therefore, the ad must draw callers to you.
Unfortunately, most Yellow Pages ads do a poor job at drawing a prospect because they fail to differentiate themselves. Most ads have the company name and logo in big, bold letters at the top, the phone number in large numbers at the bottom and the basic features of the club bullet-pointed in between. Because there is no differentiation, the prospect will often call the larger ads or simply make calls according to alphabetical listing.
The first step to creating a successful Yellow Pages ad is the same as any direct mail piece: have a strong headline. And remember the headline does not mean your club logo or name! Most people using the Yellow Pages are trying to find a company to buy from, not just looking up a phone number. Therefore, a company name is meaningless to them unless you are a well-known chain or franchise.
The headline must scream out to customers what you can do for them. It must get the attention of the reader and give them a reason to stop at your ad. For instance, "Five problems with fitness programs and how ABC Health Club solves them" is a great headline because it sets up a discussion with the readers regarding issues they are concerned about and will tell the readers how your club will take care of them. Another example would be "Choosing a health club can be confusing. After using ABC Health Club for a FREE week, you won't be confused anymore." This headline also sets up an educational discussion with the readers and, even better, tells them that club will solve their problems while letting them try out the facility for free.
The second step to creating a great Yellow Pages ad is the body copy. The body copy must sell the readers on the benefits to them, not just give a bullet list of standard features that everyone else offers. Of course, the body copy should flow from the headline, answering whatever claim you made. Most importantly, the body copy must use the words "You" and "Your" vs. "We" and "Our," which is what you find in most Yellow Pages ads.
The third step-which is simple, yet almost never done-is putting an offer into your Yellow Pages ad. This means you spell out for the reader how to act (e.g., call for a free visit, stop by for a free tour, respond for a free report, etc.). As basic as this sounds, just look in the Yellow Pages now and see how no one does this. Imagine how many more calls you will get when you prompt the reader to respond!
The fourth step to creating a successful Yellow Pages ad is enhancing the graphical layout. First of all, don't let the Yellow Pages representative convince you that "white space" makes your ad look cleaner. You are paying precious dollars for every inch; you need to use that space to educate the reader on why they should call you! Second, avoid large logos or pictures for the same reason. This does not mean you shouldn't use them, just don't make them unnecessarily large. Finally, don't get wooed with the option of color because there is no telling what the advertiser next to you will use. You are better off taking that additional money and going with a larger ad that can give the reader more information in the body copy.
Finally, here are a couple of additional tips to follow when designing your ad. One, not only get a proof of your ad before it goes to press (which is usually done) but save your proof to ensure that what you send in is what gets printed. Although this may sound like paranoia, it often happens that a club's old ad gets reprinted by mistake. You want to make sure you have recourse in case of any problems.
Second, don't let the Yellow Pages representative sway you from following these steps just because they don't follow "traditional" advertising layouts. These representatives are not business owners nor do they have a background in marketing and advertising. They are just employees who are telling thousands of other businesspeople the same things. Following their advice will not differentiate your club, just get it to blend in with the masses.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand -- Australian teenager Jake Higginbottom became the first amateur to win the BMW New Zealand Open since Harry Berwick in 1956, closing with a 5-under 67 for a one-stroke victory Sunday.
The 19-year-old Higginbottom also become the second amateur winner in the last three PGA Tour of AustralAsia events. Fellow Australian teen Oliver Goss won the Western Australia Open on Oct. 28 at Royal Perth, beating Brady Watt -- also an amateur -- on the fifth hole of a playoff.
Higginbottom finished at 7-under 281 at the Clearwater Resort. Australia's Jason Norris and Peter Wilson tied for second. Norris shot a 66, and Wilson had a 68.
After making four birdies in a five-hole stretch to take the lead, Higginbottom bogeyed the par-3 16th to fall in a tie with Wilson and Norris. The amateur birdied the par-4 17th to reclaim the lead and closed with a two-putt par on the difficult par-4 18th.

Jewel Brown Collection MSS.0337
Biographical Note
Jewel Brown is the true to life, born-and-bred Houston jazz artist. She was born in Houston's Third Ward on August 30, 1937. She attended Black Elementary School and then Jack Yates High School. At an early age she began singing in the choir at Rosehill Baptist Church and first perfomed at the age of nine at the Masonic Temple in the Fourth Ward. Her first professional singing job was at the age of 12 at the Manhattan Club in Galveston.
She continued singing professionally while in school; however, her singing was secondary in importance to her studies. Even before she graduated, her vocals were in demand. During her senior year, she was invited to accompany Lionel Hampton's group to tour Europe. Upon graduation it was understood in Ms. Brown's immediate family that she would pursue a singing career full time; she had decided against college, because she felt it would be a burden on her parents. Until that time, she sang locally with her brother's group, performing at clubs with her mother accompanying. When she did begin singing with (all male) groups on tour, however, her career was almost stifled by the concerns of an extended family member that the entertainment business was unsavory. Ms. Brown's mother relented against the cynicism and encouraged her daughter toward her chosen goals.
Ms. Brown is best known as a vocalist with Louis Armstrong's All Star Band. Whether or not Ms. Brown would audition for this position was precarious at the time, because the former singer for the band had died recently and it wasn't known how well received Ms. Brown would be under the circumstances. The audition did turn out to be a success, and Ms. Brown was soon welcomed into the All Stars. During her career, Ms. Brown toured internationally with Armstrong's band and also performed with Carrol Garner, Earl Grant, Arnett Cobb, as well as many others. She also performed on her own and took responsibility for managing herself. Among the many venues in which she was hired included the Ebony and Angelo's in Houston, the Tidelands in San Antonio, and the Sovereign Club in Dallas. In 1971, Ms. Brown retired from singing for 15 years to care for her ailing parents.
When not singing, Ms. Brown has owned and operated the Sir Brown's Hair Palace on Dowling St. in Houston with her brother Alphonse. She has also worked as a successful insurance agent and owns a child care facility. In 1988, Ms. Brown was celebrated as Jazz Artist of the Year at the annual Houston Jazz Festival.

Forum Post: Vermont law illuminates claims statistics
Posted 6 years ago on April 22, 2013, 12:56 p.m. EST by GirlFriday
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Of all the claims submitted to it last year by health care providers and policyholders, Blue Cross denied 7.6 percent. Cigna denied 21 percent. MVP was in the middle at 15.5 percent.
Most of the claims denied by all three companies were categorized as "administrative," meaning they were denied because a provider presumably used an incorrect procedure code or made some other clerical error when submitting their claims for payment. It defies reason to think that the doctors and hospitals in Vermont submitted inaccurate claims to Cigna at almost three times the rate they did to Blue Cross.
