By Sajjad Shaukat
13th of December, 2001, the day when a group of militants had attacked Indian parliament by penetrating the tight security, resulting into deaths of four gunmen along with six police officers after an exchange of gun battle, has come at a time when India has been repeating the same blame game against Pakistan in relation to Mumbai terror events which occurred on November 26 last year.
On December 14, 2001, Indian ruling National Democratic Alliance had accused Pakistan-based militant groups, Lashkar-i-Tayiba and Jaish-i-Mohammed for the assault on Indian parliament. In that regard, the then Home Minister LK Advani had disclosed indirectely referring to Pakistan, "We have received some clues that a neighbouring country, and some terrorist organisations active there are behind it."
Just like the former leadership, Indian present rulers have continuously been acting upon a blame game against Pakistan regarding the November 26 Mumbai carnage. In this regard, prior to his recent visit to the US, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh already exposed his cunning diplomacy by showing his illogical approach during his interview to the Washington Post and Newsweek. He remarked that India "wants to resolve all outstanding issues with Pakistan", while accusing the latter of "sponsoring terrorism…planning another Mumbai-type attack in India." During his trip, Singh left no stone unturned in convincing Washington raising alleged concerns that Pakistan was supporting militancy in both Afghanistan and India.
In the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks, Singh and the then Foreign Minister Pranab Mukerjee had pointed fingers at Pakistan. Like Indian media, Mukerjee while alleging our country, urged Islamabad to stop supporting the militants.
The militant group, Lashkar-i-Tayiba which was banned by Islamabad in 2002 and which has often been accused by the Indian leadership having support of Pakistan's ISI was held responsible for Mumbai catastrophe, but on November 28, 2008, a spokesman of Lashkar-i-Tayiba, Abdullah Ghaznavi while strongly condemning the attacks clarified, "We have nothing to do with Bombay attacks," and "we do not believe in killing innocent civilians. It appears to be an act of Hindu militants who will then unleash a reign of terror against Muslims under the garb of these attacks."
It is notable that Lashkar-i-Tayiba had also denied any hand in the parliament attack of 2001.
In the immediate aftermath of the parliament incident, Indian print and electronic media including many politicians had called for strict action against Pakistan, suspecting in arming and training the militants. One can note Indian same old blame game which still continues against Islamabad in respect of Mumbai catastrophe.
Interestingly, similarity in the two different events could be noted not only from Indian same nefarious designs against Pakistan but also from a number of other developments. In this context, India had demanded Islamabad to hand over some most wanted persons to New Delhi. Surprisingly, she had presented the same list of the suspected men to Islamabad, which it had sent in 2002. Afterwards, New Delhi submitted a new list in this connection. On December 2, last year, Pakistan urged India to provide credible evidence about persons living in Pakistan, allegedly involved in the Mumbai terror attacks, but India failed though Pakistan arrested some suspected men, but still there is no concrete proof against them. Even in the past, when Pakistan demanded solid evidence for the official involvement of Pakistan's any intelligence agency in the terrorist incident of Indian parliament, New Delhi could not produce anything, which had exposed the hollowness of its anti-Pakistan propaganda.
Like the present leadership, while responding to Indian blind accusations, the then Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S., Maleeha Lodhi had explained on June 5, 2002 that her country's soil was not allowed to be used for carrying out terrorist activities against other countries.
Nevertheless, despite the denials of any involvement of our country in the Mumbai tragedy and Pakistan's full assurance in cooperation in the investigation as stated by the President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, a continued wave of similar allegations by India against Islamabad which it had conducted through a deliberate game in 2001-2002 has exposed her real designs behind the Mumbai devastation.
The fact of the matter is that in 2001, India wanted to avail the Bush's anti-terrorism enterprise by manipulating the parliament incident, so that Pakistan could be pressurized in order to get good bargaining leverage over Paki-India disputes, especially the thorny issue of Kashmir. India had cancelled fights between both the countries, besides suspending trade.
On December 20, 2002, India deployed its troops across the occupied Kashmir and the international border, what was called Indian largest military mobilization since the 1971. In response to the Indian nefarious designs, Pakistani forces were put on high alert. Pakistan's former military spokesman Major-General Rashid Qureshi had revealed that the "Parliament attack was a drama staged by Indian intelligence agencies to defame the freedom struggle in the occupied Kashmir," warning that India would pay "heavily if it engages in any misadventure".
Again, under the pretext of Mumbai mayhem, India concentrated its troops on the Pak-Indian border. On December 6, 2008, Prime Minister Gilani after chairing a meeting with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, Army Chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervaz Kayani and ISI Chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha made it clear that the government would "defend every inch of the country's soil and those who cast an evil eye on Pakistan would face an appropriate response."
It is of particular attention that three suspected Kashmiris, Mohammed Afzal, Shaukat Hussain and a professor were arrested and sentenced to death in 2002 for aiding in the attack on Indian parliament. In July, 2004, Indian Supreme Court delayed the execution of the suspected. Nevertheless, uptil now, no evidence has been brought against them and that is why, there cases remain pending.
Meanwhile, Indian police had arrested two persons of Indian origin; accused of illegally buying mobile phone cards, used by militants in the Mumbai attacks. Before it, India had accused that the arrested gunman, Ajmal Amir confessed his links with Lashkar-i-Tayiba and told that he is from Faridkot, situated in Pakistan. In good faith, Islamabad fully cooperated with New Delhi in the investigation. While, early reports disclosed that an organization, calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the Mumbai terror incident.
However, as regards Indian blame game against Pakistan, Newsweek indicated on December 4, 2008, "India has been extremely reluctant to come to terms with the fact that at least some of its terror problem is now homegrown Indian Muslims face substantial discrimination in many facets of everyday life. Their second-class treatment has led some Muslims to lose faith in India's democratic institutions and to violently turn against the state."
Last year, relations between Pakistan and India had reached the breaking point as the latter was pursuing coercive diplomacy, setting aside the peace process which started in 2004 and perhaps was ignoring the fact that the former is also a nuclear power. Some political analysts indicate in case of Indian prospective 'surgical strikes' that New Delhi can hit some selective targets in Pakistan. But it is not possible because Islamabad could also target Indian suspected places from where Indian intelligence agency, RAW with the support of Israeli Mossad has been sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. Any irresponsible act by India will culminate into an all-out war, even to a nuclear conflict between the two rivals who have already fought three wars on the issue of Kashmir.
Taking cognizance of Indian war-mongering style, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Quereshi had warned that any deterioration of situation would force the country to divert troops to the Indian border and away from a US-led war against terrorism on the Afghan frontier. While taking serious notice of the situation, some western countries like UK, Australia and the US had asked India to exercise restraint. On December 6, 2009, a White House official Scott Stanzel had refused to favour Indian calls for punitive actions against Pakistan, insisting that the best way was to resolve the crisis through diplomatic channel.
Nonetheless, in the aftermath of the Mumbai tragedy, war-mongering posture coupled with a blame game did not pay India and she faced a diplomatic defeat like 2002 when after one year, New Delhi had to withdraw her troops from the Pak-Indian borders.

Gonorrhea Rapid Home Test Kit (urine sample)
screening home tests for (neisseria gonorrhoeae)
Bio Quick One-Step Gonorrhea Test Kit
Bio Quick Gonorrhea urine/swab test is a rapid immunology- chromatographic test for the visual detection of Gonorrhea trachoma antigen in either endocervical swab or urine specimens. This test adopts double sandwich method. When add exactly four drops of specimen to the sample well the specimen is absorbed into the device by capillary action, mixes with the antibody-dye conjugate, and flows across the pre-coated membrane.
Test results are read visually in 20 minutes and without use of any instruments.
What will the test tell me?
A positive test indicates an active infection that requires treatment with a course of antibiotics.
A negative test means only that there is no evidence of disease at the time of the test. It is important for those who are at increased risk of infection to have screening tests performed on a regular basis to check for possible exposure, especially since re-infection is common, particularly among teenagers.
If you are infected, your sexual partner(s) should also be tested and treated as well.
How Is Gonorrhea Treated?
Gonorrhea is treated by taking antibiotics. It is important to take all the medicine that is prescribed for you. It is also important that your sex partner(s) get treatment at the same time, otherwise, you will continue to re-infect each other. It is also recommended that you have another Bio Quick test completed between 3 to 6 weeks after the completion of your antibiotics in order to be sure that the infection is gone.
A person who have Chlamydia or Gonorrhea are 5 times more likely to get HIV!
Not all people infected with gonorrhea have symptoms, so knowing when to seek treatment can be tricky. When symptoms do occur, they are often within two to 10 days after exposure, but they can take up to 30 days to develop.
We work with the top USA and European manufacturers to bring high quality STD screening kits to your doorstep in a discreet package. Tests can be self-administered in as little as 5 minutes.

The Irvine Valley men's soccer coach Martin McGrogan knew his team had some offensive firepower this season.
The Lasers sure showed it over a six-minute span in the second half.
IVC scored all three of its goals during that time in a 3-1 win over Cypress in an Orange Empire Conference game at IVC.
The win improved Irvine Valley's record to 4-4-3 overall and 2-1-1 in conference, while Cypress slipped to 5-4-2 overall and 2-2-0 in conference.
Freshman forward Eder Olivas continued to shine for IVC.
Olivas, who had both goals in Irvine Valley's tie at Santa Ana on Tuesday, ended up with a goal and two assists in the win on Friday.
Olivas had the best chance of the first half, hitting the crossbar with a free kick in the 33rd minute.
But the match went into halftime scoreless with each team only taking three shots.
Cypress opened the scoring with a nice goal 13 minutes into the second half. Arturo Olivo found the back of the net on a header off a well-placed free kick into the box by Bryan Aguirre.
But IVC answered back in the 68th minute.
Olivas hit a free kick from nearly 40 yards out on the left side that bounced in the goal box and found its way past Cypress Eric Rodriguez far post.
That was just the start of the scoring for IVC, which didn't waste any time to take the lead for good.
Just two minutes later, Olivas sent another free kick into the box. Juan Sebastian Oliveras was in the right spot and finished to give Irvine Valley a 2-1 lead.
Then in the 72nd minute, Olivas was at it again. His free kick was on target. Rodriguez was able to deflect it, but Irvine Valley freshman forward Joseph DiCarlo was there for the rebound. He headed it in to put Irvine Valley ahead, 3-1.
Irvine Valley continued to pressure behind Oliveras and sophomore forward Toby Waterman, but the Lasers couldn't find another goal.
The goal was Olivas' sixth of the season and third in the last two matches. Oliveras scored his third goal and third in the last three contests. DiCarlo netted his second goal of the season.
Irvine Valley freshman goalie Braden Peters had to make just two saves in the match.
IVC plays again on Tuesday at home against Golden West at 3 p.m.

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland's shop in Rosemount, Aberdeen, has been gifted 50 beautiful prom dresses from Blush Bridal in Fraserburgh.
The Broch shop is currently expanding its bridesmaid department and no longer had retail space for the prom-style dresses.
They felt that CHSS was a charity close to their hearts and so donated them to the Aberdeen shop on Rosemount Viaduct.
Yvette Jeffrey, retail manager at the store, said: "The dresses are all beautifully detailed and come in a range of styles and colours so there is sure to be a style to match everyone's taste.
"We have a few of them on display, but please pop in to the store and ask our friendly staff and volunteers to show you the rest of the stock. I'd like to extend my thanks to the team at Blush Bridal for such a generous donation."

Well, this is emotional.
79 years ago, Margaret Thome Bakema had to leave high school when her mum fell ill with cancer. She gave up on education, and dedicated herself to caring for her mother and looking after her siblings.
She went on to work in a preschool for 17 years.
Now, at age 97, Margaret has been awarded an honourary degree from her old school, Grand Rapids Catholic Central High, who say she embodies all the core values they strive to teach their students.
Principal Greg Deja told MLive: 'Her life has been one of sacrifice and service. It has been so encouraging and inspiring for our community because her choices represent all the core values that we teach our students.'
As Margaret received her diploma, she began to cry, thanking the school from the 'bottom of [her] heart'.
'I had to quit school to take over the family,' she said. 'It was hard, you have no idea how hard that was.
'I loved high school and I had lots of friends.'
Margaret's daughter Gerri said her mother always regretted not graduating, and was incredibly excited to receive such an honour.
Gerri said: 'She is the type of person that whatever life hands her, she just deals with it very graciously.
'She does what has to be done and she doesn't complain about it or make a big deal about it, she just does it.'

History of the Community Liaison Program
In 1997, the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University partnered to examine issues of town-gown relations in Fort Collins and formed the University-City Liaison Committee. This group of University and City leaders continues to meet quarterly to discuss issues of importance to both institutions.
The University and City worked on a pilot program in 1999 to identify neighborhood concerns and look for ways of creating dialogue between students and neighbors. Although the effect of this program was limited, it set the stage for many of the programs that were to follow. In addition, City Council passed a Public Nuisance Ordinance in 2001 to strengthen the consequences of violating certain existing ordinances.
The University and City jointly funded the Community Liaison (CL) position to take the lead on implementing programs to enhance relations between students and long-term residents in 2001. The CL operates as an employee of both the City of Fort Collins Neighborhood Services Office and Off-Campus Life at Colorado State University. The CL divides her time between the two offices and has a program budget that is shared 50-50 by the two offices.
When the CL position was first implemented, a significant amount of time was spent identifying the areas of concern in areas where non-student residents and students live in close proximity. Common concerns for long-standing community members included: noise, parking, number of occupants in a single-family dwelling, and neighborhood appearance. Student concerns included: lack of affordable housing off campus, feeling like "second-class community members," and housing standards.
Since the community liaison position was established, a number of foundational programs have been implemented to address these concerns. Programs are geared at educating students about local ordinances and standards, highlighting best practices of students and their neighbors, strengthening enforcement and prevention, disposing of unwanted furniture in a positive way, and creating off-campus volunteer opportunities for CSU students.

By Zachary Clemence, Malaria Learning Series Intern at PATH
The global scale-up of vector control and improved case management has helped bring malaria cases and deaths to record lows since 2000. Endemic countries and donors are now working toward a world without malaria. Since 2010, PATH, through the Malaria Control and Elimination Partnership in Africa (MACEPA), has been investigating ways to accelerate this process by using drugs to clear parasites from their human hosts. If these approaches, known as population-wide drug-based strategies, are effective, feasible, and affordable, they may reduce malaria transmission in the short term to a level where it could be eliminated through strong surveillance that allows for tracking and treating each case.
This week, PATH released a brief on findings from this research as the first installment of their new Malaria Learning Series. The Learning Series is a suite of reports on current topics in malaria science that will provide practitioners, policymakers, and donors with the most recent evidence for decision-making. Topics will include emerging tools and strategies, health system and surveillance innovations, and planning for elimination.
The first report in the series, Population-Wide Drug-Based Strategies for Malaria Elimination, showcases and compares research being conducted by PATH and its partners in three African countries across a range of transmission intensities. The data-driven approach to malaria elimination and lessons learned documented in the report go beyond standard program evaluation. Instead of evaluating individual malaria programs and slowly ticking off those that don't work, PATH is building evidence on elimination theory by combining different population-wide drug-based strategies with standard vector control measures; working toward advancing guidance and tools for malaria elimination.
One of the population-wide drug-based strategies highlighted in the report is mass drug administration (MDA), a public health tool used since the 1930s with varying success against malaria, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted parasites, and other diseases. MDA involves treating everyone in a targeted geographic area (excluding those who may have contraindications to receiving the drug), whether they have the disease or not. Not everyone with malaria appears ill, so mass treatment ensures that those with infections that are asymptomatic or not able to be detected by usual diagnostic tests are treated, killing enough parasites to reduce transmission substantially. The approach had mixed success when used in earlier eras of the malaria fight, but may achieve more durable results when used in a time-limited and strategic way with other interventions to fight malaria.
The report discusses findings from a study in Zambia, and found that MDA was operationally feasible across large areas, leveraging existing community health worker networks and surveillance systems to achieve high coverage. Other strategies discussed in the report, such as mass test and treat—where the whole population is tested with a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and with only positive individuals treated—resulted in only a modest impact on malaria case incidence, likely because of the imperfect sensitivity of the diagnostic used for screening.
Over the past three years, PATH, in partnership with the national malaria control programs in Zambia, Ethiopia, and Senegal, has conducted research to study the potential for these strategies to accelerate elimination. By working across three countries, PATH hopes to better understand the potential role of population-wide drug-based strategies as an elimination accelerator when combined with the right suite of supporting interventions. This research could contribute to future guidance for countries aspiring to eliminate malaria, bringing them a step closer to a healthier future.

Donnell Whittenburg (Ultimate) and Marvin Kimble (Swiss Turners) retained their first-day leads to win their respective age groups of the junior men's Visa Championships. Whittenburg won the 16-18 division with 172.40, Kimble the 14-15 division with 169.80.
• The junior men's sessions have it all. Gymnasts of varying heights, maturation and quality. Some are a bit raw still, while others already have some polish. The challenge, of course, is to find a way to hit six-for-six, because that is the best way to push your name up the all-around rankings.
• 39 gymnasts are competing, split into two age groups: 14-5 and 16-18. Top seven in each age group make junior national team.
• 1984 Olympic gold medalist Tim Daggett is doing double duty here. This afternoon he was commentating live for NBC, and now he's coaching Jonathan Deaton. Deaton opened with a clean tucked double-double on floor. He stuck his double twist dismount, which drew applause from Daggett.
• First-day leader (16-18) Donnell Whittenburg opened his meet with a massive p-bar routine (honma-swing hand; Dimitrenko; front 1.25, 14.30). He hit a very log high bar routine. A few knee bends on jams, but overall a strong set. On floor he mounted with a piked Arabian double, half-out, that was in the rafters. He dismounted with a tucked Arabian double front. On the downside, he had to push off into his wide-arm handstand press. He mounted rings with a back uprise to Maltese, press to planche, lower to Maltese. All were perfectly level. He dismounted with a layout full-out that just hung in the air. He sealed the win on vault with a high double front.
• Akash Modi started on high bar and is an exciting gymnast to watch. He was on the Pacific Rim team earlier this year, along with juniors Marvin Kimble and Sean Melton. Both Melton (14.60 on FX) and Kimble, 13.40 on HB), the first-day 14-15 leader, began tonight well. Modi ripped through an excellent pommel horse set with good single-pommel work. The U.S. will not be weak on that event in years to come. He also dismounted p-bars with a tucked full-out.
• Sean Melton vaulted a high double front but bounced forward to his hands.
• Marvin Kimble can tumble. He mounted with punch double front pike to stag leap. His third pass was an Arabian double tuck, sort of down the side. He stuck a high double layout dismount, drawing the loud applause. He fought hard to stay on pommels, but his routine was hard, opening with a scissor-handstand and later a full kehre.
• Alex Diab, who is short and strong, did a cross like it was nothing. Very impressive set. He looks like a smaller version of the great Jason Gatson. On vault he did a handspring-rudi, which was impressive considering how high the table must seem to him. On floor he did a very cool roll from a split to a wide-arm handstand press.
• Yul Moldauer just did an excellent triple-double off high bar. His tumbling was strong, as was his pommel horse, where he's probably learned a few things from Sasha Artemev. They are from the same gym, 5280. He had trouble on rings with his swing to handstands, but he was a rock in his iron cross.
• Chandler Eggleston warmed-up a beautiful Yurchenko-2.5 twist. He almost stuck it in the meet. Gorgeous.
• David Jessen is competing here, and his mother, the great Czech Hana Ricna, is on the floor with him.

Continually pushing back the boundaries of his comfort zone, Luca Bacchetti has always encouraged us to expect changes of direction and scene. Following last year's acclaimed OVO EP he now releases AMAZON, his new single, once more full of surprises. Taking its cue from a memorable gig at the Lost Beach in Montanita, Equador it stands as an iconic symbol and, in this case, a tribute to the South American Continent. An incredible musical voyage spanning mystical, electronic and dreamlike dimensions which, like so much of his output, are inspired by and rooted in nature.
3 different covers for the digital version.The vinyl version is accompanied by a poem penned by the Brazilian poet Marcia Theophilo.

I love banana pudding. I love the kind made with whipping cream that never sees any heat, and I love the kind topped with a pile of meringue and then baked until golden brown.
This is a recipe for that second kind. The kind with meringue and baked into a delicious soft pudding. But honestly I would be happy with either. Banana pudding is a great comfort food.
I was supposed to have a small test this week which have ended up with me having at lest one stitch in my mouth. Anytime I am looking at any oral testing or surgery I start thinking about delicious, soft, comfort food. My mother sent me this recipe, I believe she found it in the People magazine. My test got moved to two weeks from now but by then my banana pudding craving was raging so I made it anyway. And who knows… I might make it again in two weeks!

Ed Levine, the founder of the James Beard-nominated food blog Serious Eats, is on an eating tour of Texas this week. Yesterday, I picked him up at the airport and rushed him to the Shipley's on Ella for a hot glazed doughnut. Our second stop was Pierson and Company in Acres Home for some East Texas-style Q.
Ed was so impressed with the falling-apart tender ribs and the mashed potato salad with pickle relish that he tried to kiss Clarence Pierson. The Houston eating continues today.

Stealth Deregulation: The Untold Story
page: 3 of 3
Consider this: it is usually much easier to calculate the costs of regulations than it is to quantify the resulting benefits for society. For example, one can easily find out how many millions it would cost a utility to install a scrubber on a coal burning utility plant; but how much is it worth in dollars to save a life, or to reduce disease, or to have cleaner air? There are no markets for such things, and so they are difficult to "monetize." This means that many benefits will always seem less important than the costs of the proposed regulations. The Bush administration admitted as much in 2004 when it deleted 55 pages describing benefits of a program to save an endangered species, leaving only the sections describing the costs to industry. An official explained that it was "too difficult to monetize the value of a species" – and the agency then used the amended report to justify cutting back the amount of protected habitat.6
Consider also what happened when the EPA proposed new regulations to limit runoff from construction and development sites, the largest source of pollution in coastal waters and estuaries in the U.S. During construction and development, massive amounts of sediments are carried into our water systems, and these activities also greatly increase storm water runoff that contains pollutants like pesticides, oil, grease, and fertilizers. But officials in the Bush White House gutted the proposal because the EPA was not able to put a dollar figure on the benefits the new regulations would produce for natural ecosystems and human health.7
Stealth Tactics Designed to Undermine Accountability
For conservatives, one of the main advantages of these kinds of deregulation tactics was that they took place deep in the bowels of the federal bureaucracy and so these decisions often flew underneath the public radar. Republicans were well aware that most Americans actually wanted more regulation, not less, in many areas like the environment and health care. For example, 60% want the government to spend more money on environmental protection. And only 7% of Americans want less regulation of pharmaceutical and drug companies, while 57% want more. And when conservatives tried to roll back these kinds of regulations in Congress during the 1990s, the public quickly found out and reacted very negatively. So to avoid this kind of public backlash, conservatives turned to "stealth tactics." Once they had control of the presidency, they largely abandoned attacking consumer, environmental and workplace regulations in Congress where everyone could see what was going on, and instead turned to undermining these regulations in the dark halls of the federal bureaucracies. The idea seemed to be this: what people don't know about, they are unlikely to get upset about.
What Can Be Done
While few Americans knew about all of these deregulation efforts, we are all now painfully aware of many of their disastrous consequences. People do tend to notice when tens of millions of gallons of crude oil spread over the Gulf of Mexico, when their food makes them sick, or when their retirement funds are cut in half. Clearly many of us are now outraged by the results of runaway deregulation, but what can we do about it?
First, the public must reject the conservative philosophy that fueled the deregulation fervor in the first place: the belief that the best market is an unregulated one. By now it should be abundantly clear that unregulated markets are prone to any number of problems and that there are legitimate reasons for government to step in to regulate them for the public interest. (For a description of the numerous failures inherent in a free market economy, see the article "Capitalism Requires Government.") It should also be evident that we cannot always trust businesses to do the right thing since they have to put corporate profits before the public interest.
Second, we must elect leaders who appreciate the importance of regulation as a way of protecting the public interest. Fortunately, President Obama understands this point and has pledged to use the administrative powers of government to actively protect consumers, workers, and the environment. He has appointed regulators who not only have expertise in the areas of their responsibility, but who also have pledged to vigorously enforce the rules and regulations of their agencies. The President has also promised that science and research will once again play a respected role in the formation of regulatory policies. Reports on his first two years in office found that many agencies have been much more diligent in their enforcement of regulations. For instance, Occupation Safety and Health Administration inspectors increased the number of citations for health and safety violations, and the agency shifted its attention toward high-risk sectors and repeat violators.
We must also insist that Congress step up to bat on these issues – something it has not always done, even when Democrats have been in control. It needs to ensure that agencies have the funds necessary to do their jobs effectively. In 2009, for instance, Congress passed a bill increasing the funding for the Consumer Product and Safety Commission, which should now allow this agency to increase a staff that had been reduced to almost half of what it was in the early 1980s. Increased budgets for other key agencies are also needed. Further, Congress needs to increase its oversight of these agencies and not wait until some disaster has struck before it calls hearings about a malfunctioning agency.
All of this recent activity to begin to revitalize our regulatory system is a good sign. But this should not be taken to mean that conservatives have given up on their efforts to promote deregulation. In 2010, for example, the Republican leadership called for a complete moratorium on new regulations – at a time when polls showed that a majority of Americans wanted increased regulation of the energy industry, health care companies, and the financial industry. Conservatives will try to return to their anti-regulatory agenda whenever they can – especially if the Republicans are able to gain control of the presidency and the administrative branch once again. And they made their intentions clear after taking over the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections. Who did the Republicans name to chair the House committee in charge of regulation of the financial sector? Rep. Ron Paul, who once observed: "I don't think we need regulators."

Stress/Depression and the Holidays
Although the holidays are supposed to be a time full of joy, good cheer and optimistic hopes for a new year, many people experience seasonal "blues." What's important to know is that there are steps you can take to help beat the blues this holiday season.
The "holiday blues" can be caused by many factors: increased stress and fatigue, unrealistic expectations, over-commercialization and the inability to be with one's family. The increased demands of shopping, parties, family reunions and house guests also contribute to these feelings of tension. Even people who do not become depressed can develop other stress reactions during the holidays, such as headaches, excessive drinking, overeating and difficulty sleeping.
Although many people become depressed during the holiday season, even more respond to the excessive stress and anxiety once the holidays have passed. This post-holiday letdown can be the result of emotional disappointments experienced during the preceding months, as well as the physical reactions caused by excess fatigue and stress.
There are several ways to identify potential sources of holiday depression that can help you head off the blues:
*Keep expectations for the holiday season manageable by not trying to make the holiday "the best ever."
*Set realistic goals for yourself.
*Pace yourself.
*Organize your time. Make a list and prioritize the most important activities.
*Be realistic about what you can and cannot do.
*Remember that the holiday season does not automatically banish reasons for feeling sad or lonely. There is room for these feelings to be present, even if you choose not to express them.
*Let go of the past. Don't be disappointed if your holidays are not like they used to be. Life brings changes. Each holiday season is different and can be enjoyed in its own way. Don't set yourself up for sadness by thinking everything has to be just like the "good old days." Look toward the future.
*Do something for someone else. It is an old remedy, but it can help. Try volunteering some time to help others.
*Enjoy holiday activities that are free, such as driving around to look at holiday decorations. Go window shopping without buying anything.
*Don't drink too much. Excessive drinking will only make you more depressed.
*Don't be afraid to try something new. Celebrate the holidays in a way you have not done before.
*Spend time with people who are supportive and who care about you.
*Reach out to make new friends if you are alone during special times.
*Contact someone with whom you have lost touch.
*Find time for yourself. Don't spend all of your time providing activities for your family and friends.

Delta Air Lines announced it will begin daily nonstop service between Los Angeles (LAX) and Beijing's Capital International Airport (PEK). The announcement comes a week after American Airlines announced it will begin service between Hong Kong and L.A.

Read our article in the Cayman Financial Review Magazine, eversion
Government's procurement practices have received a lot of attention in the press recently, but one aspect that has not yet been discussed is the way the tendering process interrelates with the Freedom of Information Law.
The interaction of procurement and FOI raises a number of issues and questions that are, so far, not very well understood in the business community. This article explores some of the ways in which FOI impacts on the procurement process, and addresses some of the concerns bidders may have.
The Freedom of Information Law (2007) has established the general right to access records and information held by public authorities in the Cayman Islands. The Law came into effect in January 2009 and applies to central government, as well the statutory authorities and government companies.
Whether a record is "held" depends on a number of things, but it will cover both records that were created by a public authority and records received from outside of government.
Whether access must be provided is decided on a case by case basis by each public authority's information manager, who may apply a number of exceptions and exemptions to withhold disclosure.
If an applicant is not satisfied with the response he is entitled to an internal review of the decision, and if still not satisfied, he may appeal to the information commissioner for mediation and a formal hearing. In the final instance, the commissioner has the power to issue a binding order in the matter.
In general terms, therefore, bids submitted to government for consideration in response to an invitation to tender are covered by the provisions of the FOI Law, even though they may not have to be disclosed because one or more exemptions apply.
1. How is government communicating the application of the FOI Law to tendering documents to its private sector partners and suppliers?
Procurement is governed by the provisions of the Public Management and Finance Law (2010 revision) and the Financial Regulations (2010 revision). In practical terms, the procedures applicable to procurement worth more than $250,000 are defined by the Open Tender Process Guidelines (OTP) of the Central Tenders Committee (CTC).
The OTP guidelines provide very specific procedures for the handling of tender documents in each consecutive stage of a bid, from bid receipt, opening, evaluation, recommendation and award to contract negotiation and management. They highlight the need for careful procedures and strict confidentiality during the bidding process, and focus on maintaining the secrecy and integrity of the bid information, and the impartiality of the evaluation and awarding process, while these processes are ongoing. But what happens after the bid is closed?
The OTC guidelines indicate that the laws of the Cayman Islands apply to tenders, but they do not specifically mention the FOI Law, except in stating that:
"The release of information to bidders and the general public is being reviewed as part of the Freedom of Information implementation project. Until the guidelines and policy have been developed, all bid information other than the successful bidder's name and bid amount shall remain confidential1."
This statement is in urgent need of updating in order to inform bidders that the FOI Law applies to all the information they provide, and that their bid may, under certain circumstances, be disclosed under the Law. The Information Commissioner's Office is working with the Central Tenders Committee to update the guidelines.
2. How is sensitive commercial information protected under the FOI Law?
An FOI exemption may apply to a whole record, or to part of a record, and public authorities have a legal obligation to release as much of the responsive record as they can, while redacting any exempt matter. Not all information that is included in a bid is by nature sensitive or commercial. For instance, tenders may include general information on the bidding company, or information that is already publicly available elsewhere.
There are a number of exemptions that may apply to a bid, but only two are briefly discussed here, namely the (often overlapping) exemptions dealing with confidential and commercial information. See Figure 1.
The exemption on confidential information protects records, the disclosure of which would "constitute an actionable breach of confidence". However, just because a page is marked as "confidential" does not make it so; neither does the inclusion of a confidentiality statement in the bid guarantee that the exemption applies.
For a record to be exempt it must meet the common law test of confidence, ie it must contain information of a confidential nature that is communicated in confidential circumstances, and its disclosure would cause harm to the bidder. Even where these criteria are met, the record may still be disclosed in the public interest, for instance where there is a credible suspicion of wrongdoing.
The second exemption protects information of a commercial nature such as trade secrets and information with a commercial value, and generally any information that concerns the commercial interest of an individual or organisation. However, it is not enough for the information simply to be commercial in nature, it is also necessary to demonstrate what harm would result from disclosing the information.
3. What, if anything, can a private company do to protect its information, and what are its legal rights under the FOI Law?
Public authorities are under no legal obligation to consult with, or inform anyone when they receive a request for third party commercial information. This approach is notably different from the rules on disclosure of third party personal information under the FOI Law.
However, in practical terms many public authorities will seek the input of a private sector bidder, partner or supplier when they are deciding how to respond to an FOI request for commercial information. If so, the third party only acts in an advisory capacity, with the final decision remaining firmly in the hands of the public authority.
When a third party is asked to advise a public authority, it should provide as much relevant insight as possible, possibly after seeking legal advice, including:
- whether (and why) the information should be considered confidential, and for how long;
- whether the information contains any trade secrets or information with commercial value;
- whether (and why) such value would be diminished if the information was disclosed;
- which part of the record would not be subject to access restrictions.
4. How does the public interest come into play?
Even where information is clearly confidential and/or commercial in nature, it could still be released in the public interest, either under the common law of breach of confidence or the FOI Law's own public interest test.
The test may be determined in all three consecutive stages of the FOI request: the initial decision by the information manager, the internal review by the chief officer and the appeal heard by the information commissioner.
The public interest test seeks to weigh all arguments for and against disclosure. The strong societal interest in maintaining confidentiality and ensuring that commercial interests are properly protected, must be balanced against countervailing factors such as those identified in the FOI regulations, including the promotion of greater understanding of government's decisions, accountability for public expenditure and deterrence of wrongdoing or maladministration.
In conclusion, private companies that enter a bid in a public sector tendering process should be aware that the information they provide to government is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Law. However, this should not deter the private sector from participating in the process as there are also a number of strong defences that can effectively be employed, where applicable.

Dogs are natural companions, often referred to as "man's best friend," as they are loyal, loving, and at your side as often as you allow them to be. Simply petting a dog can lower your blood pressure, releasing endorphins for both you and the dog. Almost any dog, when trained properly, can make a good therapy dog. However, certain breeds may be perfectly tailored to your situation. With regard to temperament, size, exercise needs, and coat, some breeds are naturally better suited for your particular lifestyle. Choosing a breed that already compliments your needs can help speed up the training process toward obtaining the therapy dog you need.
For Children
Hospitalized children may get the best love from a Saint Bernard. These gentle giants love the companionship of children and are quite snuggly, weighing in at around 110 to 200 pounds when fully grown. They love protecting, and are obedient, patient breeds. A Saint Bernard will not snap at a child who tugs on its fur. In the 17th century, Saint Bernards were used as rescue dogs for those who had been trapped by avalanches in the Alpine Pass between Switzerland and Italy. That keen sense of smell and a desire to protect has not faded with time, and is a quality that you can trust around small children who may need a watchful eye.
For Homebodies
A Pomeranian is the perfect breed for an elderly person who stays home often or anyone who works from home. They will provide companionship all day long and need relatively little exercise beyond the confines of your house or apartment. In fact, they thrive on human companionship. So long as you remain by their side, they will grant you endless love and loyalty. This toy-sized breed has a thick, fluffy coat and a round, teddy-bearish face. They are affectionate and eager; however, they do need to be kept in their place and know that they are not the pack leader. Marie Antoinette and Mozart both owned Pomeranians.
For Insomniacs
Greyhounds have a quiet temperament that make them the perfect sleeping companion for those who have a restless time getting to sleep. They generally do not bark, are sensitive to harsh tones, and bond deeply with their human counterparts. Indoors, the Greyhound may even be considered lazy. The breed is tall and slender, known for its history of being used as a racing dog. Outdoors, the Greyhound will run after anything it deems as prey, and they can reach tremendous speeds — more than 40 miles per hour. However, this doesn't negate the fact that, when it's time for bed, the Greyhound will curl up for some serious, snore-free snoozing. They will look so comfortable that you'll be lulled into an equally satisfying slumber.
For Arthritics
For a person with limited mobility, including those with rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, a Bullmastiff is an excellent choice of dog breed. As one of the largest dog breeds, the Bullmastiff doesn't need very much exercise — in fact, too much can be taxing on its giant heart. They are very gentle, despite their gruff appearance, and incredibly loyal to their owners. The Bullmastiff was originally bred as a guard dog, but was trained to pin down intruders without harming them. They are bulky and large, with black muzzles.
For Heart Disease
If you're suffering from high cholesterol, heart disease, or diabetes, you may benefit from a therapy dog with a love for long strolls in the park. The Airedale Terrier is the perfect choice for this scenario. They will motivate you to get the low-impact exercise you need, and you will never roam alone. A kind breed, the Airedale will be warm toward its owners and friends alike, but isn't afraid to stand up for itself. Without time for play, the Airedale will become bored and anxious. Thus, when you're being too lazy for him, he will let you know it's time to go get some exercise with his persistence. The Airedale has a curly caramel-colored and black coat and lively eyes.
For the Blind
Labrador Retrievers make excellent seeing-eye dogs, as they are both incredibly intelligent and non-aggressive. The lab also has a strong desire to please his master, a trait not common to all dogs. They are easy to train and retain new skills easily. They generally like all people, even strangers, as well as other animals. They have a soft mouth, meaning they will not bite down when retrieving duck and other game while hunting. This even, warm-hearted temperament makes them perfect guide dogs because they will take all people and situations in stride without spooking easily. The Labrador may be black, blonde, or brown with short, straight fur and a boxy build.
For the Allergy-Prone
The Standard Poodle is the best breed for those that commonly suffer from allergies, as it's curly coat is considered to be hypoallergenic. They shed little to no hair. The Poodle's demeanor is noble, almost aristocratic, and good-natured. They need standard exercise of a daily walk and may become anxious without it, but otherwise just delight in being in the company of their human counterparts. They can be haughty if they feel their owner is meek and must come to know you as an authoritative source, but will shut down if disciplined too strongly. Although they are often referred to as a "French Poodle," the Poodle more likely originated in Germany from the word "pudel," meaning "one who plays in water." The famous haircut sported by the Poodle provides insulation from the cold on the puffy joints, while the sleeker parts of the fur allow for ease in swimming.

The problem with glass slippers, I'd imagine, is that they are see through… I mean if all of a sudden a fairy godmother rocked up and magicked me into a beautiful ball gown and a pair of glass slippers, I'd be worried. My feet have been stuck in boots all winter, if Prince Charming saw the current state of my feet, he'd run a mile away from me, not fall in love!
I'd have to tell that Fairy Godmother to come back the next day once I'd had chance to lavish a little tlc on my tootsies.
These products would make it no big hassle though.
Palmers Foot Magic (RRP £3.99)* is a one stop product ideal for tackling dry and hard skin on the feet. Containing Vitamin E, Mango Butter, Peppermint Oil and Cocoa Butter, this product is gorgeous.
Rather than being a cream, this is like a rich balm. The texture is beautiful, but it is greasy.
It melts on contact with the skin and smells lovely. A perfect product to use overnight, and I'd recommend popping cotton socks on top, a) to protect your bed, and b) to keep the product in place and on your skin and working all night long. If you have a huge amount of dry, calloused skin on your feet I would recommend trying to remove some of it first, with a pumice stone, or scrub, whatever your chosen method, you'll find if you can remove most of the hard skin, this will penetrate much better and leave you with soft skin. A gorgeous product and very effective.
No decent Cinderella would dream of stepping out in glass slippers without perfectly polished toes and Morgan Taylor's new Cinderella collection really fits the bill.
Sparing you my toes, I give you:
Best Ball Gown Ever*
Morgan Taylor have absolutely nailed this Cinderella colour. I mean look, the following image is taken from the Cinderella book I had as a child.
A beautiful periwinkle blue with flashes of silver and gold. Its something of a miracle that with this frosty finish there's no streaking at all! The colour is beautiful.
And then there's Party at the Palace*
Party at the Palace is a soft turquoise shade with gold shimmer and its beautiful!
I've never tried Morgan Taylor polish before and I can tell you hand on heart I'm smitten. I've been having problems with polish staying on my nails for years… this lasts so well with no chipping for days. It also seems to dry incredibly quickly! With these particular shades, I needed t do three coats and I've not used a top coat, they have a lovely shine. They are available from http://www.sallyexpress.com/ and sell at £10.99 each. Beautiful quality though, truly, as you would expect from a professional brand.
So those are a couple of products I'd recommend for getting your feet spring ready, or y'know, if you're invited to a ball at the castle!
*products received free of charge for review purposes
Loving the Cinderella nail lacquers on you!
Thank you so much for saying so! They are gorgeous colours!
Can't wait to get ready for spring
Ohhh I'll have to keep my eyes out for the palmers foot stuff my feet definitely need it

It was a move that many thought would come sooner, but finally today it happened. The Eagles and QB Dennis Dixon have come to terms on a two-year deal.
The move reunites Chip Kelly with Dixon, a QB who under Kelly in Oregon threw for 20 TD's in his senior season when Kelly was the Oregon OC.
Dixon that senior season not only threw for 20 scores, but ran for nine more and threw four interceptions.
Dixon has attempted just 59 passes in four games over five NFL seasons with the Steelers and Ravens, but he already has two Super Bowl rings — with Pittsburgh in 2008 and Baltimore in 2012.
The Eagles do already have two QB's on the roster that could make it tough from keeping Dixon doing anything more than holding a clipboard in 2013 – Michael Vick and Nick Foles.
