It's March. Time to work on tax returns -- and the annual U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study from J.D. Power.
J.D. Power says the surveys should start arriving at dealerships this week. They're aimed at dealer principals, but in practice, general managers and F&I managers usually fill them out, J.D. Power says.
The survey's five major parts are: application and approval process; finance provider offering, that is, rates, terms, advance and flexibility of buying policy; sales representative relationships; floorplan; and for leases, the vehicle return process and related issues.
Last year's survey had 3,064 responses. That's more than enough for statistically significant results. But there could have been way more, considering how important F&I is to dealerships and that J.D. Power sends a survey to every franchised dealership.
According to annual dealership census data compiled by Automotive News, on Jan. 1, 2013, there were 17,760 U.S. light-vehicle dealerships.
Potentially, that's a lot of opinions.

Southeast High School students will kick off their campaign to raise $70,000 for Tierra Park's new skating facility at 2 p.m. Sunday, October 14 at 27th Street and Tierra Drive. The students earlier presented Mayor Don Wesely and Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson with a check for $5,000, and students will present another $5,000 check at Sunday's event.
Money has already been raised for the first facility for skateboarders and in-line skaters at Peter Pan Park at 32nd and 'W' streets, and the Southeast students will also help to build it this fall. They will build the Tierra Park facility next spring. Each facility will include a concrete base with modular equipment.
Southeast also has a partnership with Saratoga Elementary, and students from that school will also be involved in the skate park projects.
Southeast High was also involved in planning, fund-raising and construction of the new accessible playground in Antelope Park.
Donations for the skate park can be sent to the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Foundation,
2740 'A' Street, Box 204, Lincoln, NE 68502 and to the Lincoln Rollerpark Association,
c/o The Nebraska Community Foundation, 1200 "N' Street, Suite 610, Lincoln, NE 68509.
Donors should include a note that the donation is for the skate park. All donations
are tax deductible.

Life outside the dorm
April 11th, 2013 | Ian Richardson
I've always been the kind of guy who could sit behind the closed door in my room and spend all day reading a book or writing a paper. Kind of like a real-life Bilbo Baggins: cool with a relatively low level of adventure and social interaction.
But this semester, I did something that shook me out of my little hole in the Shire.
I joined the newspaper staff.
In previous semesters I'd contributed a few movie reviews and a couple other articles to The Lance, but after changing my minor to Journalism last year, I figured it would be good to get my feet a little wetter. So, I applied for the position I thought best fit my English expertise: copy editor.
After doing the fact-checking and proofreading for a couple issues, I began taking on some article assignments as well. And life has been a whirlwind ever since. But it's been a good whirlwind.
Unlike my English writing, which can be done from the quiet of the library or the solace of my room, my introduction to journalism has required me to go outside the walls and talk to people. Lots of people. Some of whom I'd never met before.
And with each interview, I have felt myself grow stronger socially, more sure of myself. The sweaty-palmed, quavering-voiced reporter has begun to give way to a person who knows what questions to ask and how to keep control of the conversation. I've had the opportunity to speak with all kinds of people, from fellow students to gospel music legend Bill Gaither – my interview with the latter being three minutes of my life I will never forget.
The Lance has also helped me make a whole group of friends whom I probably never would have gotten to know otherwise. And trust me – spending upwards of ten hours together every Wednesday night really helps you get to know each other.
In the end, joining student media has been a great choice for me. It's challenged me to break a little bit more out of my shell and become involved with some fantastic individuals – not to mention it has given me some great writing samples and resume material.
While you will make friends in your classes and in your residence halls, I encourage you to get involved in something during your time at Evangel. Whether you're a journalist on student media, a tutor in the Humanities Department or something else, there's sure to be something right down your alley. If you're like me, it will not only give you fantastic experience, but it will also help you get out of your dorm and form relationships as well.
Want more? See some of the ways you can get involved at Evangel by checking out the Clubs and Organizations page.

Reflections on Translation Author: Susan Bassnett

- Price: €20.00
Add to basket (GBP) Add to basket (USD) Add to basket (EUR)
This collection of essays brings together a decade of writings on translation by leading international translation studies expert, Susan Bassnett. The essays cover a range of topics and will be useful to anyone with an interest in how different cultures communicate. Bassnett draws upon her personal experience to explore issues such as why the same things cannot be expressed in all languages, why translators in war zones risk their lives for their work, whether humour can travel across cultures, why translated menus are often so bad and whether poetry does indeed get lost in translation.
Theoretically savvy and intellectually stimulating, this collection of essays, written in highly readable prose by Susan Bassnett over a period of thirty years, offers something for everyone. Professor Bassnett writes about culture, history, religion and translation, and especially about the complex, multilayered relations amongst them, in a thoughtful, deeply humane manner.- Martha P. Y. Cheung, Hong Kong Baptist University
Susan Bassnett has done as much as anyone to help establish Translation as a rewarding subject of academic study. Now, in the thirty-nine wide-ranging chapters of this new book, she offers meditations on the subject that are as acute as they are lucid, and as lively as they are wise.- Harish Trivedi, University of Delhi
In this highly readable, stimulating and challenging collection of essays Susan Bassnett shows the incisive intelligence, humane engagement and breadth of knowledge that have been a constant in her writings over the years. The book is a must read for anyone who cares about the present and future of translation on our planet.- Michael Cronin, Centre for Translation and Textual Studies, Dublin City University
This collection offers a fascinating and timely insight into the subject of one woman who is 'engaged in translation'…At times scholarly, at times resolutely practical, this book represents the unique ability of the translatior 'to shift perspective, to look simultaneously from within and from without, to question oneself and one's own culture as much as one questions the other'.- Caroline Williamson in the ITI Bulletin, November-December 2011
Written for a general reader with an interest in language, the essays also nourish the scholarly mind. Those familiar with translation will be stimulated by the fresh approaches to well-known questions from a personable guide. To identify the subjects and themes of the essays is to capture only part of their richness. The wealth of reflection lies in the examples that emerge, effortlessly it would seem, from Bassnett's experience and learning. It is her ability to engage with the casual and the serendipitous, to draw together moments across time and continents, that create a marvellous unity of tone, and drive home many important points about the exchange of cultures and languages.
- Target, Vol. 27:1 (2015) - Sherry Simon, Concordia University, Canada
Susan Bassnett is a leading international expert in translation studies, and author of best-selling books in the field that have been translated into some 20 languages. A bilingual who has practical experience of translation and interpreting. Bassnettâ??s accessible, jargon-free writing has made her work popular with students around the world. The forthright essays collected in this volume reflect ten years of writing regularly for professional translators and general readers.

Cesar Azpilicueta happy after Spain debut and Chelsea win
Cesar Azpilicueta says it has been a week to remember after making his Spain debut and helping Chelsea to success.
Last Updated: 11/02/13 10:09am
The defender earned his first cap for his country as they beat Uruguay 3-1 in a midweek friendly, impressing for the reigning World and European champions as he played the full 90 minutes.
Azpilicueta then went on to notch two assists in Chelsea's 4-1 win over the Latics at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, setting up goals for Eden Hazard and Marko Marin.
He told The Sun: "When you win it is always a good week.
"But it is also true I played with the national team. And it was my dream to play for Spain so it is a very good week."
Azpilicueta admits Chelsea's weekend success came at a good time following a worrying four-match winless streak.
The Blues remain third in the Premier League despite in-form Tottenham keeping pressure on them from below.
"The last few games have been disappointing. We play for Chelsea and we know we must win every game," he said.
"We have this pressure every game - Tottenham had won before we played and we wanted to keep our position - and we did. We won and with our supporters here.
"It is the first time I have been involved in so many goals. It is a good thing - to improve your game and create goals for the team."
The right-back insists playing UEFA Champions League football every year is a must for Chelsea and is confident they can finish in the European places.
"The main thing is the mentality is still there to keep going. We know we have to stay in the top four for the stability of the club," he added.
"We have to play in the Champions League every season. We know it is going to be difficult but we have the quality to do it."

Actually, now that I write this, it sounds a little nuts - is anyone else relating to this? It is not that crazy... right? I guess Starbucks' success answers that question.
To further my point, I said to Mike just yesterday, "I think the Nespresso is my favorite gift of all time." (This is not a sponsored post.)
Maybe I am nuts.
Or maybe it is because I've been adding Vanilla Bean Sugar to the milk pre-frothing in my Aeroncinno and it whips it up so frothy, it is almost like hot vanilla bean whipped cream?
The best part of this "recipe" is that it is not really a recipe at all. It takes seconds to make.
I put it in these Kraft "Coffee" Bags to give as gifts. Literally the easiest gift to make.
It is ready to be added to coffee or used for baking. As I said, I add a good tablespoon or two to my pre-frothed milk for my lattes.
Or for Vanilla Bean Scones...
You can see how frothy the milk is and laced with the tiny vanilla beans from the Vanilla Bean Paste.
Supplies Needed :
Kraft Coffee Bags (set of 20), $10-12
Vanilla Bean Paste, $12

Art Meadow has designed a green-roofed Museum of Industry for the site of the former Norristown County Prison in Pennsylvania. For 150 years the County Prison has remained an impermeable object in the suburban fabric in Norristown, PA, but the proposed Norristown Museum of Industry powerfully reimagines how this site can be transformed into an underground educational center, illuminated by rooftop light wells and featuring an elevated green park for the local community. Art Meadow's design was an entry in the Stewardson Memorial Competition, and was described by the jurors as "subtle and moving."

At present the former Norristown County Prison site is home to a municipal storage facility and a sloped parking lot. The thoughtful adaptive reuse project would create an underground museum for peaceful contemplation and a rooftop park for community use. Art Meadow founder Matthew Hoffman described that
"[h]istorically, the monolithic wall which surrounds the prison separated the prisoners from society and vice-versa. To the prisoners, life beyond the walls was represented through sound, memories, and inference. To the inhabitants of Norristown, the walls of the prison signify the same thing and are experienced in similar ways. Taking this separation as a given, the design aims to maintain this division between program (previously a prison, now an Industrial Museum) and park (freedom) by burying the building beneath the park."
While the conceptual (and literal) divisions of the structure are creatively reinterpreted, the design would also reuse the original materials of the prison. Art Meadow proposes that the walls which once surrounded the prison would be recycled into a concrete plinth to separate the park from the museum. Where rooftop light wells help to provide dramatic natural daylighting for the underground museum, thermal mass from the green rood would regulate the temperature of the museum itself.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. stock market fell, but ended well off the day's lows, as a decision by one of Portugal's biggest banks to delay a debt payment reminded investors of the fragility of Europe's banking system.
Investor worries centered on Espirito Santo Financila Group SA, although those worries seemed to abate over the course of the trading session. Also read: 5 things to know about Banco Espirito Santo and Europe.
Meanwhile, U.S. economic data continued to show an improving economy. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in the first week of July fell to a seven-year low.
The S&P 500 SPX, +1.09% closed down 8.12 points, or 0.4%, to 1,964.71. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.74% dropped as much as 180 points at session lows, but ended the day down 70.35 points, or 0.4%, at 16,915.20. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.61% lost 22.83 points, or 0.5%, to 4,396.20.
Read the recap of MarketWatch's live blog of today's stock-market action
Steven Wieting, global chief investment strategist at Citi Private Bank, played down the concerns about Portugal for U.S. stocks. He said investors are just using downbeat economic and banking news from Europe and Asia as an excuse to sell.
"The reality is that we had a 6% rally in just six weeks, and markets were looking for an excuse to correct. Nothing has changed fundamentally, neither in the U.S., nor in Europe," Wieting said. "Rising markets tend to ignore single data points, but in falling markets, fear gets amplified that someone else will sell."

Unexpected drops in industrial production in May in both Italy and France also weighed on sentiment.
The Nikkei 225 index NIK, +1.82% fell 0.6%, but other Asian markets were flat or slightly higher. Chinese exports for June rose 7.2% in June from a year earlier, far below the 10% rise expected from economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.
Gold futures US:GCQ4 jumped sharply to their highest settlement in nearly four months.
Oil prices rebounded on Thursday, with the U.S. benchmark putting an end to a losing streak that spanned nine sessions, while the dollar DXY, -0.14% stayed higher.
United Continental rallies; Potbelly plunges on earnings
United Continental Holdings Inc. UAL, +0.18% shares leapt 7.1% after the company's revenue per available seat mile, a closely watched sales metric in the airline industry, increased by 3.5% in the second quarter from a year earlier.
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. US:TRW jumped 7.9% after the auto-parts maker confirmed it has received a nonbinding buyout offer and said it is evaluating the bid as well as other options.

Student or Learner
Memories of Kate were hunting them day after day. Everyday the hall gets busy, yet mourned. There were no broken cups or stained tables; no piled queues, giggles or chuckles. Eventually they began to accept and fall into their routines.
However Neo's worry was piling as days rolled on. On the day of Kate's dismissal when he enquired about the farewell, James said that the masters have told them to hold on for some time. Ten days passed, and they did not spoke a word about it. And now he could not find James for about a day. He even wanted to visit James' place, but was timid. He staggered in the hall like a haunting bee, and when he was tired he sank at a corner desperately.

Event draws record numbers
This year's Snap Fitness Jingle Bell 5K Fun Run/Walk event was so successful, more than $1,500 was raised that will benefit the Ionia County Commission on Aging's cancer fund.
Snap Fitness employee Joe Cantwell said he was extremely pleased with the total and with the more than 125 people who signed up and participated to travel around the city and through the downtown area.
"I was really happy ... and the feedback I got from the local running club was great," said Cantwell, who dressed up as Santa Claus for the event.
He said he is grateful for the event being easy to organize, which came from community individuals and business' assistance.
He said he believes participation numbers were high because the run/walk took place on a Saturday, when more people are available. The route also is expected to stay the same next year, Cantwell added.
Community Awareness Week and original Jingle Bell Fun Run organizer Diane Grummet said it feels "awesome" to add $1,500 to the now $12,000 total.
"It was just such a fun day and people came out to support a good cause," said Grummet. "It just blows me away."
Cantwell said he wants to double the total money raised and the number of participants for next year's event.
Other 5K runs are expected to take place next year, including one in May that will benefit the Ionia Community Theatre.

God isn't dead
If one of us haven't killed him, then He's alive.
I claim that each one of us has this constant struggle between serving our self material interests and rising above them, between good and evil, between having principles and being purely utilitarian, between being moral and immoral.
Does it matter if we're Muslim or not, or if we're religious or not even? I say it doesn't. A religion like Islam just makes it clearly communicated, what's wrong and what's right, and we get to choose and we get to know the consequences, and we should thank God for letting us know. Nevertheless, we know it already, but now its just communicated for the blind of us.
How do we know it? Simple, that's how we've been created. Man is created with a balance of good and evil, and he makes the choice, and he is accounted for that choice. You have been created in the best form, yet you can become of a lowest form, and that's how God has created us [al-teen:4-5].
Knowing enough atheists makes you realize that there is such a thing as a moral atheist, and knowing enough religious people makes you realize that there is such a thing as an immoral believer. Maybe the believer is trying to compensate for his immoral behavior, and maybe the atheist is trying to compensate for his lack of belief? Well, I would say no, not necessarily. But we're all affected by religion and by God, and even atheists have been influenced by some form of religion that is radiating from their surroundings, family, literature, film, architecture as Begovic notes, and that the nonreligious didn't grow up in ignorance of religion, but rather in opposition to it.
So we're all affected by religion really, some of us choose to believe in it and in God yet still be immoral in most of their acts. Those, have killed God, but it doesn't mean that He's dead still. And some of us choose to reject religion and God, yet they are still the creation of God, created in the best form with as much good in them as much as evil, and their lack of visible belief does not negate God's existance, and their beings is proof of His very existance.
An atheist friend of mine who has grown in a Christian family and whom I consider very moral, once told me that he knows he will be missing something and will eventually need to "believe" as he grows older in the later stages of his life. I wonder if that is a common case, and I wonder why?
For those who suggest that man's conscious, not God, is what drives moral behavior, isn't that conscious a creation of God? of the form man was created in. And thus, as Begovic asks, isn't belief in man instead of God a lower form of religion? That conscious part of us is what God has blown into man from His spirit [saad:72], which drives our morality, whether we recognize it or not.

Mobile Learning | Feature
Southern Illinois University's Mobile Dawg Tablet Initiative combines a tablet rollout with apps, digital content and services designed to directly impact student success.
Last fall, when Southern Illinois University, Carbondale distributed 3,000 tablet computers to students, faculty and staff, administrators had more in mind than a publicity stunt.
"We're going to great lengths to make sure the tablets aren't just a gimmick," explained David Crain, CIO at the university. "We've developed a fairly comprehensive and growing suite of mobile applications to integrate the tablet into the student's everyday life."
SIU is one of the first public research institutions to launch a campuswide digital initiative. Named after the school mascot (the Saluki, an Egyptian hunting dog), the Mobile Dawg project combines a tablet rollout with apps, e-books, multimedia content and student services designed to directly impact student success.
For the initiative's launch, recounted Crain, "We distributed over 3,000 Dell Latitude 10 tablets." A total of 2,700 tablets went to incoming freshmen; the remaining 300 were distributed to faculty and staff. "We're working hard to improve the university in two basic areas: recruitment and student success," Crain added. He noted that student success leads to higher retention and graduation rates.
According to Crain, SIU is ahead of the curve in preloading the tablets with course materials and other software, including a fairly comprehensive — and growing — suite of mobile applications. To integrate the tablet into the students' everyday life, each device is configured with Skype, Office 365 and Mobile Dawg (SIU's custom app), as well as electronic textbooks and labs (from Pearson, Cengage Learning and McGraw-Hill). "We're training both the students and the faculty in the use of the tablets and all of the applications used on the tablets," said Crain.
To train faculty, Crain and his team created the role of "Technology Mentor." Select faculty members from various departments across campus become technology champions and, hopefully, continue to increase faculty adoption. "We've seen a huge uptake in the number of faculty choosing electronic course materials," Crain said.
Before and After Mobile Dawg
When Crain came to SIU about two years ago, there was virtually no WiFi on campus. Only about 30 of the 130 campus buildings were on wireless — and even that was out-of-date. There were 35 different e-mail systems and no directory systems. Since then, there has been a total wireless install across campus, with an outdoor wireless network coming this summer. "We went from being way behind to being way ahead," said Crain, noting that SIU has greatly increased its Internet bandwidth to support the additional devices, and has added network redundancy and additional servers to its infrastructure.
Other challenges centered around SIU's student population. "One of our problems was that, as an access university, we have a lot of students who come from lower economic backgrounds," continued Crain. "We also have a large percent of students who are first-generation college students: 45 percent to 47 percent, depending on the year." Typically, a significant percentage of students could not afford to purchase course materials until late in the semester (if at all), which hurt their success rate, as well as SIU's retention and graduation rates.
As part of the Mobile Dawg initiative, SIU adopted electronic course materials for freshmen-level foundation courses, paid for by a course fee. "This not only saves hundreds of dollars for the student," explained Crain, "but the course fees are included in their financial aid, so they don't have to pay for the materials out of pocket." This academic year, the course fees saved $272 per student for the four foundation courses, which include English, speech, math and University College 101. "Now," he said, "on Day 1, students have electronic access, on their tablets, to their course materials for our foundation courses."
Cost has been one of the most challenging factors in building this program. "We had some reserves available," said Crain, but for now the institution is trying to be as cost-sensitive as possible. "We make it more affordable by adding small amounts to each fee. It's a combination of technology surcharge and course fee. The tablet costs the student as little as $100 to $125 per year, prorated over a four-year period."
Crain and his team chose the Windows 8 tablets based on such factors as total cost of ownership (including the price of the unit and its expected lifespan) and integration with the university's existing management infrastructure. The other deciding factor was the ability to run all of the applications needed, including Flash-based electronic course materials and Microsoft Office as the productivity suite. (For more on SIU's choice of tablet OS, see "Can Windows 8 Play With the Big Boys?")
Preliminary user feedback, however, revealed that most electronic course materials were not designed for the Latitude 10 touch interface. The university switched to Dell Venue Pro 11 tablets this spring (distributed to 150-200 new students). The Pro 11 has an optional soft-cover keyboard, and the system is twice as fast as the Latitude 10. Next fall, SIU plans to distribute the Venue Pro 11 tablet to all incoming freshmen. The following fall, both freshmen and transfer students will receive the device.
Now 48 classes, in addition to the foundation courses, are committed to using electronic course materials for the next academic year.
Mobile Dawg has justified itself many times over, according to Crain: Last fall's freshman class increased in size by 13 percent from the previous year — SIU's largest freshman class in 20 years. And fall-to-spring retention of the freshman class is up 3.6 percent. "That's a huge one-year jump," said Crain — although he recognizes that Mobile Dawg is one of many efforts to improve SIU's student success rate.
An Impact on Learning
Crain advised that any tablet program must be well thought out and comprehensive in order to impact student success.
"We've studied other programs that provide technology to students but don't incorporate that technology into a student's campus life," he said. "This type of project inevitably fails." If a school is going to launch a similar program, Crain cautioned, "Make sure it has a positive impact on student learning, and thus on the whole university.
"Our goal is to become the first research university to provide tablet technology and electronic course materials to all of our undergraduate students," concluded Crain, who intends to stay well ahead of the curve.

Hi guys,I've one MD in my livingroom. Near this room, there are two other rooms, where I'm planning to locate some stereo speaker. I know, that I can get a squezzebox to have audio in these two rooms, but I wonder, if I could add a second and maybe a third soundcard to the MD in the living room.Is it possible to have a MD with two or more soundcards and if it is, how would I assign an EA to it? If it isn't possible, what would be the best method to add an audio zone to a room, without the need to add a full MD?Thanks in advance,eNoodle

Well I finally got around to picking up my RA24, traded a friend my e46 BMW for it.
I'm normally an Audi guy but I've always had a soft spot for toyotas (drove a '94 tercel briefly and owned an '86 tercel 4wd for a little while). When my friend showed me this car I decided I'd really like to have one... He then bought an RA28 and we decided I'd buy this one.
For now I'm just going to focus on getting it cleaned up as much as I'm able. Someone up the line took most of it apart for body work, but it looks like they just sanded and rattle canned parts of it. I got front and rear chrome bumpers with it, I believe they're just early US bumpers though.
So far I've just been chipping away at it when I'm slow at work, replaced the fuel pump and filter and got the thing running. Then did a little work refurbishing the grille and mounting the rear bumper
Tonight I took the hood off and tried to bend my hood hinges back up as much as I could, they're sturdier than I expected. Mocked up the front bumper as well...
The amount of rust remediation and rubber replacement that needs to be done is definitely a bit intimidating, but I think this car is definitely salvageable. Definitely going to need to find someone willing to sawzall some bits out of a donor for me.
Another plus is it came with a fiberglass chin spoiler and trunk lid spoiler, I'll probably start on that after the rest of the car is back together.
My only dilemma now is do I spend the time and money trying to refurbish the beat brown interior or just but some reclining bucket seats in with some new carpet and remove everything else except the dash?

Since I started bento-ing I have been trying to find good stores for bento-stuff in the Netherlands... which is not easy. While there are a lot of small eastern supermarkets in Nijmegen, they are usually more focussed on Indonesian and Chinese products.
But... a while ago I went to a very very big Asian supermarket, it's calles Amazing Oriental and they have quite a few stores across the country. The first time I went to Delft, I think this is the biggest, and yesterday I went to Arnhem, which is smaller, but they've got a lot of useful products.
Unfortunately they haven't got any bento boxes, I'm still looking for a store in the Netherlands (or maybe closeby in Germany) that does sell them (anyone know of a store?).
I have bought some plastic moulds for onigiri though, and two different sorts of furikake and even yokan (which I love!). Of course I bought a lot of other things as well, I simply couldn't control myself, but I think thos things are harder to get hold of in other stores.
So, maybe I helped some fellow Dutch bento-ers here, I do hope so.
But I'm still looking for better/other stores... preferably those who sell boxes or bigger onigiri-moulds...
Haven't been able to find decent bento boxes anywhere, so I'll just keep shopping on ebay and jlist...

May 13, 2013 - Ottawa, Ontario - Canada will continue to be a leader in the fight against three of the
world's most devastating diseases: tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS, announced the Honourable Julian Fantino, Minister of
International Cooperation, following a meeting with Mark Dybul, the new Executive Director for
the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
"Canada plays a leadership role on the world stage in the fight against deadly diseases such as malaria, and this will continue," said Minister Fantino. "By supporting
the Global Fund, we are helping to save the lives of mothers, newborns, and young children who are particularly vulnerable to tuberculosis,
malaria and HIV/AIDS."
To further demonstrate Canada's commitment, Minister Fantino today announced additional funding to the Global
Fund's Affordable Medicines Facilities
for malaria (AMFm). The goal of the AMFm is to save lives by making the most effective malaria medicine,
artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), readily available to patients. Through an innovative
approach involving manufacturers and private-sector buyers, the AMFm works to reduce the price and
increase the availability of ACTs in private-sector outlets, a key source of medicine in many
developing countries. With the support from Canada and other international donors, an
estimated 43,000 lives are expected to be saved through this initiative in
2013, through the provision of approximately 120 million treatments of the most effective malaria medicine.
"Canada has been a great supporter of the Global Fund since its inception in 2002," said Dr. Mark Dybul, Executive Director
of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. "The Global Fund and CIDA also work in close collaboration in many African
countries and have achieved remarkable results in the fight against the three diseases. Working together, we can defeat these pandemics."
Canada has supported the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria since its inception. The Global Fund was
created to dramatically increase resources to fight these diseases. The organization invests in large-scale prevention, treatment,
and care programs, and supports national health systems and health workers in the world's poorest regions. The Global Fund has
increased access to life-saving drugs for those most in need and has saved an estimated 8.7 million lives to date, including
some 100,000 lives per month in recent years.
In the fight against tuberculosis (TB), Canada has been a significant supporter of the Global Fund and in turn, the Global
Fund is the leading international donor, providing an estimated 82 percent of all international funding for TB. Results for TB to date
Economic Action Plan 2013 reaffirms
Canada's commitment to expanding prevention, care and treatment for those most vulnerable to TB, malaria and HIV/AIDS. The new Department
of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development will maintain the mandate of poverty alleviation through such initiatives as supporting the
health of those most in need, and help achieve greater efficiency, accountability, and focus to continue to improve the lives of
people in need around the world.

Minister Fantino announced today that Canada is providing an additional $20 million in support to the Affordable Medicines Facilities for malaria (AMFm) initiative, managed by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, bringing Canada's total support to this initiative to $40 million since 2012.
The goal of the AMFm is to save lives by making the most effective malaria medicine, artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), readily available to patients. Through an innovative approach involving manufacturers and private sector buyers, the AMFm works to reduce the price and increase the availability of ACTs in private sector outlets, a key source of medicine in many developing countries.
As part of the AMFm, recipient countries carry out activities that promote safe and proper use of ACTs. These activities include training, supervision, and marketing and information campaigns. They also include special efforts to reach more vulnerable populations to ensure that they are more aware of the effectiveness of ACTs. The program is currently operating in eight countries: Cambodia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Support to this initiative is well aligned with CIDA's Strategy to Secure the Future of Children and Youth, as well as Canada's commitment to the Muskoka Initiative, given that children under the age of five and pregnant women have the highest vulnerability to malaria. The AMFm is in line with the Harper Government's engagement with the private sector as a key development partner, as it recognizes the significant role of the private sector in the distribution of malaria medicine.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria , aims to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world's most devastating diseases and to direct those resources to areas of greatest need. With support from its partners, including the Harper Government, the Global Fund has supported HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria programs in 151 countries.
In the area of HIV/AIDS, programs supported by the fund are currently providing antiretroviral therapy to 4.2 million people to treat HIV. In the fight against malaria, recipients of Global Fund grants have distributed 310 million insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria and have treated 260 million cases of malaria.
