Internal Control Considerations for the Consolidation of VIEs
In order to avoid these problems, TEI urges the EC to work with the Member States to formally announce a temporary relaxation of the requirements to validate the EU VAT number through VIES.
As official beverage of the unique small-cap event, Aqua Vie Hydrators(TM), available in seven all-natural flavors, will be highlighted in marketing materials and will be conveniently available to an estimated 1,500 attendees at reception functions and at the Aqua Vie booth throughout the event.
During a Q&A session, the subject matter of VIE structure was discussed:
More important, the extension of VIES will impose significant administrative burdens on taxable persons in the EU.
Management of Aqua Vie said that a history of current filings is required by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) to ensure that Bulletin Board companies have current data available to the public markets.
At long last -- and it took nearly a year to arrive at a design technique that would aptly reflect the major product characteristics and benefits -- Aqua Vie is set to make its retail debut looking as it should to stand out in the 'near water' crowd.
As a result of the transaction, Epilogue will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Aqua Vie, and the current shareholders of Epilogue will become shareholders of Aqua Vie Beverage Corporation.
May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Aqua Vie Advance Company announced today that it had retained Steven M.
This line of Aqua Vies functional beverages, was specifically designed to increase a consumers daily consumption of water, or level of personal hydration, an essential element to good nutrition.
Ma Vie en Rose is a poignant, excruciating in-breath that Waiting to Exhale only aspired to.
And in January 1988 (1) an instance of a VIE in the construction sector came to light.

Take a pretty wallpaper and/or fabric in your daughter's favorite color, whether an Indian block print, a toile or a floral and cover as many surfaces as you can in said fabric, including walls, curtains, headboard, dust ruffle, chairs, pillows and in particular a canopy, if possible. Accent with pretty white linens, a little gingham or stripes for contrast, perhaps a solid color on an upholstered piece and a few complimetary accessories and voila! the perfect girls room.

The Maharshi and the Mahatma
The following has been translated from a passage in Sri Narayan M. Desai's Gujarati book, Santa Sevata. Sri Narayan is the son of Sri Mahadev Desai who was Mahatma Gandhiji's secretary.
LET me describe right here an incident that happened during our return from the South India Hindi Prachar meeting.
Bezwada (Vijayawada) is a station on the railway route from Madras to Wardha. The talk came up before we reached Bezwada. Jamnalalji (Sri Jamnala Bajaj) had then recently been to Ramanashram. He was lavish in his praises before Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) of the holiness and peace of that Ashram's atmosphere. Whenever a saint happened to be the subject of a conversation, my father's heart would melt like butter. With devotional interest he began to inquire about Ramana Maharshi. Jamnalalji, Bapu and my father started on the subject with equal interest. In the course of the talk Bapu suggested, "Mahadev, why not visit the Ashram yourself?" On hearing this, father's heart leapt from sheer joy. Jamnalal-ji also urged him: "Yes, yes. Do it. It is really worth a visit. And now that you have come so near the place, you can go there right away. When, otherwise, are you going to have the leisure for it?"
My father asked me to pack up his kit-bag. The train had by then already reached the Krishna Bridge. Jamnalalji was telling Bapu, "The peace I felt at Ramanashram, I did not even find at your Ashram." After a short while Bapu said to father, "Don't be in a hurry to return. If you have the same experience of peace as Jamnalalji, you may stay on longer. Don't worry about the work."
Bapu uttered these words in quite a natural tone and manner. But the very thought of keeping away from Bapu for any length of time was unbearable to my father. He turned towards me and said, "Babla (a pet name), unpack the kitbag." I was stunned. Bapu too looked on in mute surprise.
"Why Mahadev, what makes you ask him to unpack?"
"I have given up the idea."
"But why?""One Swami is enough for me."
Arunachala Bhakta Bhagawata
On August 26, 1989, James Hartel, with his new video camera, videotaped Arunachala Bhakta Bhagawat in the Temple of the Nova Scotia Ashrama. This year at our 'Advent at Arunachala' programs in Nova Scotia and New York we showed a twelve minute segment from this video. Everyone enjoyed watching the vigorous 77-year-old Bhagawat tell the stories and relate the teachings we had heard many times in bygone days.
Soyi janayi jehi dehu janayee
Janata tumhahi tumhayi hoyi jayee.
Here Goswami Tulsidas says, "O Lord, only he knows You whom You grant that grace, whom You make to know You, and the devotee who knows You becomes one with You."
Chhutayi mala ki malahi ke dhoyen
Ghrta ki pava koyi bari biloyen.
"Can dirt be got rid of by cleansing with dirt? Can one produce ghee by churning water?"
Prema Bhagati jala binu Raghurayee
Abhiantara mala kabahun na jayee.
Prema. What is Prema? Prema is affection; Prema is love; Prema is dedication; Prema is devotion; Prema is simpleness. The darkness of the heart, the dirt of the heart cannot be removed, O Bhagavan, without devotion, without dedication, without guilelessness, without openness. Without these the ignorance and arrogance of the heart cannot be removed. These are simple things. No discussions or debates are needed.
Bhagavan has taught to simply go to the source — "Who am I?" From whatever group the person belongs to, there is no question of interfering with others' faith or thought. A teacher simply shows the path, guides one to the correct route. So, Sri Bhagavan says, "Go to the Heart." When we breathe, the breath comes from the Heart. Just by saying "I-I" one can experience the breath and sound coming from the Heart.
Sri Bhagavan showed me this [in a vision]. He put His hands on my head and Heart and told me in Hindi, "Dekho hridaya ke under se kahan se avaz aatee hai. Jahan se avaz aatee hai, usee par dhyan karo." Since I speak Hindi, He spoke to me in Hindi: "Watch wherefrom the sound emanates in the Heart. Meditate on the centre wherefrom the sound emanates." So that's the simple teaching for who ever wants to learn, who ever wants peace and happiness.
This is the purpose of this Arunachala Ashrama, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Center, and not to interfere. It is like the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the river flowing. If an individual wants to be warmed by the sun, feel the breeze or be cooled in these waters, he or she will have to be ready.
Jesus said, "Don't throw pearls before the swine." So only those who are eager, honest, sincere and fit – give it to them. A patient goes to a doctor, is diagnosed and then prescribed a medicine. The patient must take the medicine with faith and report to the doctor.
I always call this place "the Annapolis Valley of peace and happiness." The North Mountain behind the Ashrama is situated just like the Arunachala Mountain in South India, where Sri Bhagavan's Ashram is located at the southern foot of the mountain.
Where this temple now stands, years ago it was a school. This building was picked up and moved a mile from here. Some wealthy person wanted to use it for a utility building at a ski resort. He couldn't do it. Somehow or the other Bhagavan helped us and we carried this building back here to its original location. When the temple was being designed, I used to request from New York to include plenty of windows so the first floor doesn't look like a basement. So this was a new design in those days. Even downstairs there is so much light, and there is also much light streaming through the windows in the temple hall.
Sri Bhagavan appeared before Arunachaleswara on the morning of Tuesday, September 1, 1896, and Sri Bhagavan has been inspiring us to celebrate this occasion since 1972 here in the Nova Scotia Ashrama. Since September 1st usually occurs near Labour Day Monday, we normally observe it on the Sunday before Labour Day. On the Friday before this Sunday, Dr. Lakshminarayan will arrive and start the prayers, petitions and supplications, which will continue till Sunday morning. Sunday will be the public celebration, after which enough food or Prasad will be served to all the friends and devotees gathered that day.
As it was the custom in Sri Bhagavan's Ashrama that whosoever arrived was sent to the kitchen to eat, whatever time of day, Arunachala Ashrama continues this practice in the West. Whether the person takes the food or not, it doesn't matter. Food and friendship are offered all the time. The ancient Vedic scriptures say, "Food is God; God is in food."
Here we always emphasize practice. We call this Ashrama the triple 'A' Ashrama: Arunachala Abhyasa Ashrama. Whether the visitor is from the West or East we always tell them practice, abhyasa, is necessary. If you want to become a doctor you first have to learn your A-B-Cs. No one can become a doctor by just looking at a medical college. We use the term 'GRIND.' Everyone must go through the grind. The ego must somehow be crushed. Nothing can grow unless we plow the field. "Tasmat sarveshu kaleshu...Thus remembering ME all the time, fight on, fight on."
Work we have to do. Creation has come in and different people have different jobs and different missions. "Keep on doing, remembering ME," says Sri Krishna to Arjuna.
I always say, "Do you have five minutes, Sir? Do you have five minutes, Deviji? Do you have five minutes, Madam? Early in the morning sit down for five minutes, don't do anything. On the floor or in a chair just sit in peace and quiet. The most important thing is the practice."
Whatever we do here in the Temple – sit, recite, read – the practice is the most important thing. We always say, "Soyi janayi jehi dehu janayee...He or she only knows You on whom You grant Your grace."
"Why do I not feel it?" you may ask.
I say, "Do you have eyes? Can you see the sun? Can you breathe?" Grace is there whether you believe it or not. You believe in the wind, you believe in the river, the trees. You believe in the grass – all these. Pay a little attention: "...remembering ME all the time, fight on!"
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi in his silent, simple and direct way said, "Go to the Source." "WHO AM I?" Cutting through all ancient dogmas, philosophies and intricacies, Sri Bhagavan came and said very simply, "Go to the Source. Go on repeating 'I'- 'I' - 'I'." The breath, the sound comes from the Heart. Watch the breath. Practice is necessary, faith is necessary.
It is said, "Sraddha van labhate jnanam..." Those who have faith, have humility and yearning, they receive knowledge, they receive help. And "Sansyatma bina swasti..." Those who forever have doubts and questions, will be destroyed.
Let me close with this:
With Sri Bhagavan's infinite grace and mercy He brings some selected people and gives them the job, the mission, the work. It is for them to keep on doing.
When God came to Moses He told him: "I Am That I Am." In the Bible it is written that Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you." What did Jesus say? Go to the Heart. Peace is there. Again, "Ask and it shall be given; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened."
So it is only a question of different lands, different religions, different languages, but the Source is the same.
Protecting Sri Arunachala
The Legal Efforts
The following talk was given by Sriram Pachu on September 10 at the 104th Anniversary of Sri Ramana Maharshi's 'Advent at Arunachala' program in New York City. Sriram Pachu of Madras is on a research and teaching fellowship at New York University. He has been visiting Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai for the last two years.
CONSTRUCTION around the Holy Hill has been going on for sometime; worse still is that some has come up on the Hill itself. This has been the subject of litigation in the Madras High Court. Under India's public interest law, any citizen may draw the Court's attention to a matter of public interest and seek remedial relief.
The first case was filed in the early 1990s and was directed against the proposal of the Government to set up the office of the Collectorate between the Hill and the Giripradakshina Path. It was pointed out that such a location would mar the sanctity of the Hill and would interfere with the pilgrimage around the Hill. An interim order of injunction was made by the High Court. Subsequently, after representations were made by Sri Ramanasramam and others, the Government relocated the new Collectorate elsewhere.
Around 1995 another case was filed by the Arunachala Devotees Association, drawing the Court's attention to construction coming up on and around the Hill. No orders were passed in this case, and it was kept pending. Since the situation was worsening, T.V.Chandramouli of Tiruvannamalai filed another case in 1998. He sought directions to prohibit such construction, to remove the illegal ones which had come up, and other reliefs to preserve Tiruvannamalai as a temple and heritage town. In this case an order was passed in the latter half of 1998 by the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court prohibiting further construction on the Hill, and between the Hill and the Giripradakshina Path.
In early 1999, the Court appointed an Expert Body to study the situation and report on the measures that could be taken to preserve the town, the Hill and the Path. A former Judge of the Madras High Court, Mr. Justice Arunachalam, was named as the Chairman of the Committee. Among other members were senior Government officials from the departments of temple administration, forests, archaeology and traffic planning; also appointed was a prominent architect, Mr. P.T.Krishnan, who is also the Convenor of the Madras Chapter of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage.
The Committee received representations by affidavit and also held public hearings. A large number of representations were made by people from different parts of India and the world stressing the sanctity of the Hill and the need to preserve it by all means possible. A substantial number of representations came from local residents, especially owners of land which lay between the Path and the Hill, who strongly resisted any move to prevent them from constructing on land that they owned. There was also resistance to removal of construction which had come up on the foot of the Hill. On several other aspects which did not interfere with private ownership of land, there was consensus on the steps to be taken.
The Expert Body made its report in early 2000. It set out the historical and spiritual facts and background. It dealt with the current position and stressed the need for preventive and corrective action. It made as many as twenty-nine recommendations. These relate to prohibition against fresh construction on the Hill and between the Path and the Hill, the removal of illegal construction thereon, afforestation and environmental measures, the preservation of water bodies, facilities for pilgrims, moving the highway and heavy traffic zone away from the Path, etc. It called for protection under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites Protection Act and for declaration of the Hill, the Path, the Temple and Town as national heritage sites and ultimately as World Heritage Sites. The Expert Body's report is featured on the website: http://sriramanamaharshi.org/appeal.zip [which is no longer available]
In August 2000, the High Court heard arguments in the case. The State Government agreed not to construct on the land owned by it in the area between the Path and the Hill but was against an absolute ban on privately-owned areas. With regard to removal of illegal construction it stated that large scale removal was difficult and may lead to law-and-order problems. The Central Government stated that it had declared the Virupaksha Cave, Skandashram and the Path leading to it as national monuments (and thus to be protected against encroachment). However, with regard to the plea that the entire Path, and the land between the Path and the Hill be so protected, it stated that the excessive construction which had taken place on this area would prevent it from being declared a national monument. (This is ironic, because it was the Government's duty in the first place to prevent such construction.) The other parties, namely, the Petitioners and the local residents, also submitted arguments.
The basis of the plea for preserving the area can briefly be stated as follows:
The Constitution of India (Article 25) protects religious practices. Lakhs of devotees come every month to have darshan. Many people from other parts of India and abroad make such pilgrimage often and residents of Tiruvannamalai make frequent pradakshinas. Going around the Hill is the accepted form of worship; the sighting of the Hill from all possible points is an integral and cardinal part of such worship. In this case, the Hill itself is the deity, and therefore the case is no different as one which prevents a devotee from seeing the Lord in a temple.
Such pradakshina from time immemorial constitutes a customary right and qualifies for protection under the law.
Environmental reasons also mandate prevention of construction on and at the foot of the Hill. Tiruvannamalai is a water-starved place. The water runoff from the Hill cannot reach the tanks and lake beds on account of the construction. Tiruvannamalai has a well-connected system of water bodies which, in the past, collected the water coming down the Hill slope and recharged the ground water table.
The Hill is the object of veneration for countless numbers of people and forms the focal point of their belief, faith and practice. Thus, the right and Where private rights cannot survive along with a clearly established public right, it is the former which must yield to the latter.
The Hill and the Path qualify for protection and preservation as ancient monuments and archaeological sites. The Hill is believed, from time immemorial, to be the very embodiment of Lord Shiva. The scriptures say so, and saints and sages down the years have taught so. Furthermore, geological experts estimate that the Hill is one of the oldest rock formations in the world, substantially older than the Himalayas. Few monuments can possess the great spiritual, historical and geological importance of the Hill.
The High Court's judgment is awaited.
Advent at Arunachala
New York And Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia, Canada
ON SUNDAY, September 3rd, 2000, devotees gathered at Arunachala Ashrama in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia to celebrate the 104th anniversary of Sri Bhagavan's arrival at Arunachala, and also to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sri Arunachala Ramana Mandiram, in the heart of the Annapolis Valley.
The program began with the performance of Ganesha Puja, followed by Sri Ramana Puja conducted by Dr. Anil K.Sharma. The rendition of Sri Bhagavan's 108 Names was done by Srimati Geeta Bhatt, who was assisted by the young children at the Ashrama. During the chanting, the children laid flowers at Sri Bhagavan's feet.
Welcoming remarks were given by Dennis Hartel, who shared with all his memories of the initial days of the Mandiram, including the actual physical moving of the entire building to its current location in the year 1975.
A statue of Sri Ramana was installed in the Mandiram during this function. This is a lifelike replica of the statue of Sri Ramana present in the New Hall of Sri Ramanasramam, India. This work was the result of the dedication of James Hartel, who also gave a brief talk on the making and installation of the same.
With rapt attention, devotees listened to a videotape of Sri Arunachala Bhakta Bhagawat which had been recorded in 1989, explaining the nature and purpose of Sri Arunachala Ashrama. (see article 2 for text.) We could all feel that Bhagawat's utter devotion to Sri Bhagavan continues to inspire us, despite his having shed his mortal coil.
Bhajans were offered by devotees. Following the bhajans, Mr. B.K.Raju, whose friendship the Ashram continues to cherish, gave his recollections of the early days of the Ashram in Bridgetown in his usual simple and moving manner.
Following the puja and the chanting of "Upadesa Saram," prasad was served to all by Mrs. Raju and her band of dedicated devotees.
Bhagavan's grace was showered upon all.
New York City
On Sunday, September 10th, 2000, devotees gathered at Arunachala Ashrama in Queens, New York to celebrate Sri Bhagavan's arrival at Arunachala 104 years ago. Early in the day, devotees began arriving to assist with the preparations. The flower arrangements were once again lovingly provided by Ron Ridolfo, and general preparations were done by Abhijit & Jyoti Champanerkar and other Ashram devotees.
Sri Ganesha Puja and Sri Ramana Puja were performed by Dr. Anil K.Sharma, while the chanting of Sri Ramana's 108 Names was accompanied by the offering of flowers by Bhagavan's younger devotees.
The welcoming address was given by Dennis Hartel. This was followed by an update on the legal situation at Arunachala, given ably by Sriram Pachu (see article 3).
Again, excerpts of a video taped in 1989 depicted Sri Arunachala Bhakta Bhagawat exhorting us all to abide at the feet of Sri Bhagavan by means of Self-Inquiry. This, given in Bhagawat's simple and unassuming way, visibly moved all.
The singing of Bhagavan's works and bhajans was offered with deep devotion by all those present.
The celebration concluded with the chanting of "Purusha Suktam" and the aarti, symbolic of Bhagavan's divine light, was shared by all present.
Prasad had been prepared by the untiring ladies of the Ashram, and this was distributed to everyone.Chanting of Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and stotras, by Arthur Coucouvitis, Peter Fell, Mr. Parekh, Ramaswami family and others continued for the rest of the day. Sri Bhagavan's presence was palpable, and his grace was, and is, guiding us all.
The 121st Jayanti of
Sri Ramana Maharshi
Will be celebrated in the
New York Arunachala Ashrama
on Sunday, January 7, 2001
The program will begin at 11:00 A.M.

Be Still, It is The Wind That SingsArthur Osborne's thorough understanding of the Maharshi's teachings was not simply the result of a refined intellect. It was a heart illumined by spiritual experience. His language is robust; his knowledge of spirituality pervasive. This was most evident in his editorship of The Mountain Path magazine. When articles on spiritual topics were not forthcoming, Mr. Osborne would write them himself with remarkable clarity and insight under several pseudonyms. This comprehensive collection of articles and poems – 16 poems previously unpublished – is a tribute to the author's stature as a writer and his illustrious spiritual journey.
Sri DevikalottaraOne of the Upa-agamas highly valued by the Maharshi, so much so that he spontaneously translated it into Tamil verse during his stay in the Virupaksha Cave. It contains Lord Shiva's instruction to Parvati, outlining the direct Advaitic path to liberation. This edition contains the Maharshi's Tamil verses, original Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation.
The Veda Parayana (Now on CD)The Veda Parayana consists of Vedic Sanskrit chants carefully chosen for recitation by Sri Ramana Maharshi. During his lifetime the Veda Parayana was held twice a day, morning and evening. This practice is still continued in Sri Ramanasramam. The Maharshi obviously encouraged aspirants to attend it, as it was a time of tremendous silence when he sat immobile as though carved in rock. Sri Bhagavan said it was not necessary to know its meaning, that it was sufficient that the chanting serve as a support for meditation. These recordings were made under special arrangements in the Old Hall of Sri Ramanasramam, India.

D. How can I get peace? I do not seem to obtain it through vichara.M. Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state. Your vichara has been made only in the mind. Investigate what the mind is and it will disappear. There is no such thing as mind apart from thought. Nevertheless, because of the emergence of thought, you surmise something from which it starts and term that the mind. When you probe to see what it is, you find there is really no such thing as mind. When the mind has thus vanished, you realise eternal peace.
Visiting Arunachala Ashrama, New York
All the friends of Arunachala Ashrama in New York were happy to have Sri V.S.Subramanian (Mani), Manager of Sri Ramanasramam, his wife and son, Srimati Ramani and Ramanan, visit with us from October 10 to October 25. Mani and his wife were visiting their son Ramanan for the first time in the U.S.
Travelling to Niagara Falls, Washington D.C. and other nearby places the Subramanian family was the guest of Prof. Ram Desai in Buffalo, Krishna and Padma Sastri in Ontario, Drs. Aruna and Ramkumar in Hartford and Drs. Nitya and Venkat Ramanan in Maryland. In New York City they also visited the homes of Mohan Ramaswami, T.S.Vaidyanathan and Geeta Bhatt, who attended on them with genuine warmth and affection.
They will remain in California with their son until their December 12th departure for India.

Attorney-General and Minister Responsible for Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum during a press conference at the Elections Office in Toorak, Suva yesterday. Picture: IVAMERE ROKOVESA
THE seven-member Electoral Commission was announced yesterday by Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
Legal practitioner and former Fiji Law Society president Chen Bunn Young is the commission chairman.
The other members are academic Professor Vijay Naidu, electoral expert Father David Arms, civil society activist Alisi Daurewa, playwright Larry Thomas, businessman James Soane and accountant Jenny Seeto.
In announcing the commission, Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said each member would bring along their expertise and skills set.
He said all members had been apolitical and credible members of the public.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum also said the Electoral Commission would work with the Solicitor General's office to appoint a Supervisor of Elections.
He said there had been applications for the post and although no timeline was given, the appointment would be made soon.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum also said work on the new electoral legislation was being carried out.

"We have to fine-tune that, that's our major focus for now."

Oakland pension board to appeal ruling
Updated 11:01 pm, Tuesday, October 16, 2012
A board governing an Oakland police officers' pension plan said Tuesday it will appeal part of a judge's order that called for the board to reduce benefits and pay back $11.5 million in benefits that the court deemed were wrongfully paid out.
The appeal will focus on whether the City Council, which sued the board to force it to reduce pension benefits, was required to file a petition to the pension board before filing a lawsuit.
The board's decision marked the latest chapter in the management of a pension plan, known as the Police and Fire Retirement System, that was closed to new workers in 1976 and whose fiscal management by the city has come under increasing scrutiny as city finances have become tighter.

A majority of the seven-member board that the council sued was, in fact, appointed by the mayor and City Council. Board members did not explain their decision to file a limited appeal. But retirees, dozens of whom showed up to the meeting at City Hall, said they were frustrated.
"We're disappointed," said Bob Muszar, president of the Retired Oakland Police Officers Association, a network representing the retirees, which intervened in the case. Muszar said his group has filed an appeal of the entire court decision, adding, "We had hoped the board would do the same."
The pension plan has nearly 1,100 beneficiaries. It is unusual because it ties pension payments to current officers' pay, including shift, rank and holiday pay. Firefighters were not affected by the Aug. 10 decision of the Alameda County Superior Court.
Judge Evelio Grillo ruled Aug. 10 that the pension board failed to reduce benefits to retirees and their widows in 2008 when current police officers took pay cuts to help balance the city's budget.
Pensioners criticized the City Council, which they said had broken promises that officers had used to justify a dangerous career and plan for retirement. Council mismanagement of the pension has cost the city at least $250 million, according to the city auditor.
Former Oakland Police Lt. Burnham Matthews said he signed his contract with the city of Oakland 44 years ago and retired 21 years ago.
"All of us are past the income-earning age. Now the city wants to nickel and dime the retirees for their fiduciary irresponsibility," said Matthews, 67.
He urged the board: "Do the right thing."
The retirees take in an average of $4,900 a month, and their widows receive an average of $3,800 a month.
Under the court-ordered changes, one retired sergeant who receives a $4,957 monthly pension payment will lose $607, according to a pension board staff report. That same sergeant will have to pay back an additional $29,973 under the court order, according to the same report.
Verna Rose Kelsey, 70, said she already lives month to month, struggling to pay bills, in part, because she supports an autistic brother.
Kelsey, whose husband died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2006, said that if the cuts go through, she would have to sell the Pleasanton home she's lived in for 42 years.
"It would be devastating," said Kelsey, who stood with the assistance of a cane.

Sit back and relax, because some reading has to be done.
In the year 2081, the human race is at its peak - The population is growing at unreal rates while resources are slim. SCARP (Space Colonization and Resources Program) have engineered prototypes space vessels that could get the human race to leave the planet in search of a new organic one. Years pass. The planet seems to stand still. The prototype has finally been finished and is loaded and launched into orbit. Suddenly, onboard the ship the controls begin to malfunction as it charges into earth. Hitting one of the largest nuclear plants, North america is driven out by the radiation and danger. Only some people decide to stay, before reporting mutants. Meanwhile, The remains of the ship in space are orbiting earth and are in danger to strike somewhere else. Which leaves SCARP and all military forces to destroy it. The missiles strike and hit. All seems well until the massive amounts of metal are shot out, and quickly dash towards earth damaging all major areas and destroying most civilization. All is lost. Earth is plunged into apocalypse and the human race is getting close to becoming extinct. This is your story. How you survived. And how you will survive.
First off, character sheets.
Before I show a layout, I must tell you what the stats are for.
You are given 20 starting skillpoints which you must spend on the following:
Tech: Increases technology knowledge and allows you to build and operate higher tier things.
Construction: A lower chance of failure when building and allows you to unlock higher tiers of building.
Health: You recover from wounds quicker and are much tougher.
Stamina: How fast you can run or do similar activities and how much you can before you need to rest.
Ranged: Higher chances of massive damage and allows you to use higher tier ranged weapons better.
Melee: Higher damage with melee and reduces stamina needed to attack with them. Allows you to use higher tier melee weapons.
Cyber: Allows you to use and operate cyber weapons better. Allows you to use higher tier Cyber weapons.
Scavenging: Allows you to get more from supplies and allows you to preserve them better. Also allows you to make supplies.
Okay, enough of that. Here's how the sheet should look:
Starting Weapon: (Pistol, or Rusted Sword)
Items: (None)
Starting Town: (choose the town you start in. info below.)
No turn based here really, its how you can think to eliminate the thing and how fast you CAN.
You start out in a town. Commonly what the town will be like is posted.
Town: (name of town)
Supplies: (none at start)
Buildings: (shack at start)
Population: (whoever chooses to live there)
The map is unknown,
Player to player interaction is allowed,
And other than that...
I guess there really is nothing else.
So get out there, and start surviving!

How many pull ups should I be able to do? To answer this question, you honestly need to ask yourself, how many pull ups do I WANT to do and am I willing to put in the practice? As mere mortals, we are all limited in the number of unbroken reps we can or will ever be able to complete. But, if you are hungry to do more than just hang from the bar, your potential in this body weight exercise can be maximized with daily practice, strength-training, skill improvement, and an "eye of the tiger" attitude.
While I've never been an advocate of judging one's self against others, sometimes seeing where you stack up against others can be motivating. Read on to find out how many pull-ups girls, boys, women and men should be able to complete according to various sources. Continue reading

How do you define flow out calls?

some of the terms, specifically the "flow out calls." I thought that flow out calls was the sum of abandoned and blocked calls, but the figures say differently. On this report, the number of flow out calls is much bigger than the sum of abandoned and blocked calls. What else could this number represent?
I would suggest you get Avaya's data dictionary to address this question for certain. Generally "flow out" includes calls that do not get answered in the queue/skill that they originally queue to. So, for example, if you have a vector checking a backup skill and the call is answered in the backup, it would count as a "flow out" call.

The Federal Reserve System is as independent of politics as any of our government institutions. It hires some of the best economists trained in the top PhD finance and economics programs. Each of the fifteen district banks has its own research department, which produces and analyzes tons of data.
The Federal Reserve Board employs some two hundred and twenty five Ph.Ds. The current Chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke, is a leading specialist on monetary policy and the business cycle. His predecessor, Alan Greenspan was universally praised as a master of data analysis. If anyone could see trouble ahead, it was supposed to be Greenspan.
Reading the just-released transcript of the Fed Open Market Committee meeting on December 12, 2006 reminds me of the 9/11 Commission Report. The Fed vaguely identified some of the dots, but not one committee member raised the possibility of a housing collapse.
The Fed's "intelligence failure" serves as a lesson for those calling for government to foresee systemic risk. It is not that the Fed did not have the expertise. Although only one agency, Fed economists cover all the areas – housing, financial markets, derivatives, risk management, and international finance -- that later became part of the crisis.
On the day of the Fed meeting, housing prices had more than doubled over a decade. They had not fallen since 1991. We came to regard rising housing prices as inevitable along with taxes and death. Within a year, housing prices would fall more than ten percent. Within two years, they would fall by a quarter. The collapse of housing prices destroyed a major portion of household wealth and shattered the balance sheets of financial institutions, sending the U.S. economy into a deep recession.
The transcript of the December 12 Fed meeting is a whirr of mind-numbing statistics and detailed reports of economic conditions in each of the districts, interrupted by questions, answers, and back-and-forth discussion. These were serious people doing the serious job of setting the right monetary course.
Housing-market conditions received a lot of attention. Most districts reported that home builders had unsold inventories and some were taking unusual measures to sell houses (like offering free Kia cars), but no discussant felt particular reason for alarm as the following excerpts show:
"The adjustment process (in the housing market) is simply a matter of working inventories down…..residential investment will no longer subtract from real GDP growth after the first half of next year."
"A few small builders have declared bankruptcy, and others still may do so; but for the most part, builders feel that they are financially prepared to make it through the next one or two years of poor business. So the financial condition of homebuilders is not my chief concern."
"It's hard to tell if we're getting close to the bottom of the housing slump. Several of our builder contacts in Florida say that they expect sales to improve in the second quarter of 2007."
"None of the builders we polled reported low inventories of unsold homes. Interestingly enough, 86 percent of them said their inventories were about right; only 14 percent said inventories were high; and no one reported that they were extremely high."
Only one discussant raised the issue of growing risks in mortgage markets:

'Karisma looks better than any current heroine'
Kareena Kapoor isn't leaving any stone unturned to ensure her older sister comes back to Bollywood with a bang
Kareena Kapoor isn't leaving any stone unturned to ensure her older sister comes back to Bollywood with a bang
Her sister was the one of the reigning queens of the '90s and she followed it up with a bigger and better run at the box-office in the past decade.
But now Kareena Kapoor is going all out to ensure her older sister's comeback into films is an unforgettable one.
"Karisma is looking better than any of the current heroines. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am about her starting work again," she says, clearly not afraid to ruffle feathers with such statements.
The last five years has seen Karisma take an extended maternity leave, looking after her two kids. However, despite staying away from doing a full-fledged role for so long, she has managed to bag impressive projects.
Not only is she gearing up to play the lead in Dangerous Ishq, but she also has been reportedly roped in to do item numbers and endorse brands.
Insecurity complex?
You would think her impressive work schedule would make her li'l sister a bit insecure, but knowing how close the two are it's not surprising that Kareena is only more than happy for Karisma.
"We discuss everything... from work to clothes to our relationships. There is hardly a decision I take without consulting Lolo, and it's pretty much the same for her."
In fact, Bebo has been advising Karisma on which projects she should take on. "A lot of work has been coming her way and she was just waiting for the right time.
Now we sit together and read stuff and share opinions about the kind of work she needs to do," she adds.
Incidentally, Karisma has done a voiceover for the Kareena-Salman blockbuster Bodyguard. We won't be surprised if the two sisters start making appearances in each other's films pretty soon.

text: I started Low Ogestrel (generic form of Lo-Ovral) about 3 months ago. A few days ago I woke up and I swear overnight my breasts have "swollen" at least a cup size and are very tender. I should have been ovulating last week, so I thought maybe that was the cause of the tenderness and swelling. But that has never happened before when I ovulate. Also, I was a little nauseous last night and had a bad headache this morning when I woke up. I'm a little worried because all of these symptoms happened when I was pregnant with my son, but they also happen when I'm ovulating, except for the breast swelling. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Google has been playing around with the number of characters that it shows in the title on search results. I have recently seen that it has been showing not the standard 71, but in fact 70 characters of the title of websites when it lists pages in its search results.
This has been a problem where I have been using exactly 71 characters in titles of web pages. All of a sudden, there has been a " ..." showing at the end, and words missed out. So I have been reducing the length of titles to the 70, or even 69 to cater for Google idiosyncrasy's.
The title of this post is 71 characters. So it will be interesting to see just how many characters it shows.
Meta description lengthThe same is actually true for the meta description. For a number of years, Google has been showing 156 characters, and then adding " ..." to the end. Now I notice that it is only showing 155 characters. So as a test, I have added a meta description to this page of 156 characters. Lets see how Google treats this page in the results.
The following link will show up this page in Google results - lets see the " ..." showing
That is rather interesting! While 71 characters is obviously too many for the title, it is still showing the 156 characters of the meta description. So lets change it to 157.

I'm Alina and I am one of the creators of Escuro Bicycle Bag project on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robertodesimone/escuro-bicycle-bag-stylish-and-functional
Just after we have launched our campaign, we have received so many messages from PR agencies, crowdfunding promotion websites, some believable some not. Among these messages, I have received two that actually were more interesting, at least to my knowledge. One was from BackerCamp.com, the other from Gadget Flow. I know Gadget Flow better because I have used to check their website almost daily, The other one was something new for me.
Now, we have our design product. We are really enthusiastic about the final result, but the campaign goes pretty slow. We have launched it about a couple of days ago and we only have 3 backers. I'm pretty sure that the problem is not the product, but the fact that we don't know many people, we don't know bloggers and other influencers. Then, we have a pretty tight budget for promotion.
I'm wondering if should I invest this tight budget in BackerCamp Media Outreach Plan or in Gadget Flow Basic Plan? In my opinion, Gadget Flow Plan is more convincing also because I know their kind of target. But I would need so much someone's else opinion.
Do you also know if you can Upgrade a plan with them?
Thank you

We are appalled to learn of the unprecedented surveillance of Internet users
worldwide through PRISM and similar programmes. Blanket surveillance
capabilities such as these, especially when implemented without
citizens' scrutiny, seriously threaten the human rights to free speech and privacy and with them the foundations of our democracies.
We applaud whisteblower Edward Snowden for his actions. When a government is truly by the people and for the people, it cannot be a crime to leak information on the course and extent of actions by the government, in the name of its citizens, for the claimed purpose of protecting them. A representative government in a democracy relies on the consent of its people. However, such consent cannot exist when the citizens are not fully informed.
We note with alarm the complete lack of regard the US government is showing for the rights of European citizens and, more generally, anyone who uses US-based communication services and infrastructure. We also note the negative effect on its allies, the sovereignty of the affected countries and the competitiveness of their businesses.
Europe must respond to these
revelations with due resolve. In light of this situation, it is
important that the European Union, rather than remaining complicit with
this abuse of powers that comes at an untenable cost to society, becomes
a worldwide beacon for digital rights and privacy protection, government transparency and whistleblower protection.
We call for:
The US government has demonstrated – in the cases of Bradley Manning and others – that its treatment of whistleblowers is a cause for grave concern. The public labeling of Edward Snowden as a "traitor" by various US officials and media has created a climate in which he cannot be assured to receive a fair trial. He might be subject to persecution for his political belief in government transparency, and would certainly be in danger of facing inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment, including the threat of the death penalty.
We call on all governments of Europe to treat sympathetically any applications for political asylum or subsidiary protection status by Mr Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers and to speedily expedite any such applications.
It is unacceptable that secret surveillance capabilities and practices circumvent democratic processes and prevent the critical, rational engagement necessary in a democracy to determine due and undue courses of action.
We call on the European Parliament to form a committee of inquiry according to Article 185 of its rules of procedure. The facts to establish and publish are:
We extend this call to all national parliaments – to investigate whether national constitutions, data protection laws and espionage laws have been violated.
The General Data Protection Regulation currently under consideration must be strengthened to ensure a broad and far-reaching protection of private and business data. The lobbying efforts to the contrary must be resisted.
Specifically, European citizens' data must not knowingly be surrendered to US intelligence agencies. Article 42 from the first leaked draft proposal, which addressed extra-territorial actions by third countries such as the USA Patriot Act and the USA Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and imposed barriers for foreign judicial authorities to access European data, must be reintroduced. Metadata and pseudonymous data must also be protected.
According to the International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, US companies must inform users when granting access to their data to third parties. It appears that companies participating in the PRISM programme violated these provisions. In response, the EU must revoke the agreement to these Principles (Commission Decision 2000/520/EC) so that the affected companies are subject to European courts should they not cease these practices immediately. Safe Harbor must then be renegotiated with more effective safeguards and recourse mechanisms in place, or replaced by a new international agreement on data protection, e. g. based on the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation.
To ensure that the Internet remains an empowering and democratising force rather than continuing to be used as a tool to limit and curtail democracy and individual liberty, the EU should spearhead an international Treaty on the Freedom of the Internet. Such a treaty should strongly protect confidentiality of communications, freedom of expression and access to information (specifically as they pertain to the Internet) as well as net neutrality.
As an additional line of privacy defence, consumers must have the option of using software and services that strongly protect their privacy. Such software may offer anonymity, strong end-to-end encryption, peer-to-peer architectures, federation or the ability to self-host user data, user-auditable open source code and other privacy protection features.
We applaud the fact that the current proposal for the Horizon 2020 framework programme includes the goal to "ensure privacy and freedom in the Internet". We call on the European Union to ensure that a significantly larger percentage of the research funds is spent on advancing software and service choice in this way than is spent on projects with the opposite goal, i. e. surveillance and data-mining technology research, and that projects whose explicit aim is indiscriminate and suspicionless surveillance are rejected outright.
We propose legislative measures to strengthen the defence against similar agency overreach in Europe.
Direct taps by governmental agencies into backbone Internet communication channels, such as the ones reportedly installed by the NSA as part of the BLARNEY programme, must be explicitly outlawed. Such taps allow storing and data-mining of all Internet communications, bypassing all other controls and procedures and compromising all confidential data and everyone's privacy. Breaching the integrity of the network infrastructure in this unacceptable way undermines the confidence in the entire Internet and threatens all its benefits.
We also renew our calls for the repeal of the Data Retention Directive. The Czech and Romanian constitutional courts explicitly concluded that broad and suspicionless data retention is a fundamental breach of basic human rights. By establishing the indiscriminate collection of large amounts of data without court approval, data retention programmes enable the kind of executive overreach that continues on platforms such as PRISM, threatening the separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary which is at the basis of our democracies.

The Art of Subtext is a marvelous book on writing. It is so focused, so perfectly presented, and it also is an enduring argument for the idea of fiction being about the human condition–and, perhaps more importantly, for any beginning fiction writer, it contains a veritable cornucopia of ideas on approaches to presenting details about people and their interactions. I've always thought that a good writer must not just be a good observer of people but have a keen eye for the subtext of life and human relationships–and then be able to convey this in subtle and complex ways through the fiction.
To review this book is in a sense to rewrite it, so I'd just urge any writer, at any level of development, to seek it out. The sections on dialogue alone are worth it. (If you do order it, please do so through the link above. I've joined Amazon's associates program. However, I'll only be using that program for books I like.)
Fiction, a dramatic medium, asks writers to unlearn the habits of conflict-avoidance for the sake of revelation. People who have practiced good manners and conflict-avoidance all their lives have to remember to leave those habits of mind at the door when they enter the theater of fiction. Stories thrive on bad behavior, bad manners, confrontations, and unpalatable characters who by wish or compulsion make their desires visible by creating scenes. Imagine Dostoyevsky's contempt at the idea that his characters ought to be more pleasant, more presentable. The perennial Dostoyevsky question is, "Do you want the truth or agree-able seeming falsehoods?" Fiction is that place where human beings do not have to be better than they really are, where characters can and should confront each other, where they must create scenes, where desire will have its day, where all truth is beautiful. Fiction is the antidote to the conduct manual.

SAN FRANCISCO - Jim Furyk is alone at the top in the U.S. Open.
Furyk stayed steady at even par while Graeme McDowell had one bogey to fall a shot back through three holes Sunday, emerging from an eerie fog that swallowed The Olympic Club in a battle of former U.S. Open champions. Furyk was 1 under for the tournament.
Lee Westwood and Frederik Jacobson were three strokes back of the lead through four holes.
Furyk's drive found the left rough on No. 1, he laid up and floated his approach 4 feet short of the pin to save par. McDowell's drive stayed in the fairway - where he has been all week - and his second landed in the shaved grass short of the green, where he two-putted for par.
McDowell's tee shot on the par-3 landed short. He chipped past the hole and two putted for a bogey to a fall a shot back of Furyk, whom he shared the 54-hole lead with entering the final round.
If there's a tie at the end of the day, there will be an 18-hole playoff Monday.
Tiger Woods dropped six strokes in the treacherous first six holes, including a double bogey on the par-3 third when he chunked a shot out of the rough and two-putted. He was 5 over through eight holes - 10 shots behind the leaders - and still waiting to end his four-year major drought.
The 17-year-old Beau Hossler saved par on No. 1 with a putt out of the fringe, giving a light first pump and hearing roars the once belonged to Woods. Chants of "Let's go Hossler!" could be heard from the second green when Woods was lining up his putt, which he left short for a bogey.
But Hossler bogeyed three straight holes to fall to 3 over on the round. He was seven shots back.
History hasn't been kind to the 54-hole leaders over the last decade.
Rory McIlroy was different last year, but he was playing a different kind of U.S. Open at Congressional, which was soft from rain and yielded a record score. Throw out his 69 in the final round, and you have to go all the way back to Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000 to find a 54-hole leader who broke par.
Aaron Baddeley had a two-shot lead going into the final round at Oakmont. He three-putted from 8 feet for a triple bogey on the opening hole and shot 80. Retief Goosen was going for his third U.S. Open title in five years at Pinehurst in 2005 when he took a three-shot lead into the final round. It was gone in three holes and he shot 81.
McDowell was three shots behind going into the final round at Pebble Beach two years ago when he watched Dustin Johnson hit wedge toward the second green and take five more shots for a triple bogey. Just like that, the lead was gone, and so was Johnson. He closed with an 82
Such a closing round would not seem likely for McDowell and Furyk. Not only are they U.S. Open champions (then again, so was Goosen), they have controlled games and toughness that makes them equipped for a fight against par.
Furyk won at Olympia Fields in 2003 and McDowell took home the title two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach.
