The Firkin
What is a Firkin?
A firkin is a small cask (10.8 gallons) used for brewing cask-conditioned ale or what is sometimes called "real ale." A smaller version of a firkin, known as a pin, holds 5.4 gallons. Most firkins are made of steel, but there are also wooden firkins that add the flavors of the wood to the brew as they age. These cask brews are served directly from the same container in which they were fermented.
This method of brewing is the way beer was made for thousands of years.
Cask ale (or real ale) is young beer that has been placed in small metal English casks called firkins. In the sealed firkin the beer undergoes a special conditioning process whereby the yeast produces carbonation and wonderful flavor components and then settles to the bottom of the cask. After a time, excess carbonation is vented and a serving tap is hammered into a spout on the cask. The beer is served without pasteurization or additions of artificial carbon dioxide or other gasses. This is soft, fresh, living beer the way it was meant to be served!

Beer Barrel Sizes
When is a beer barrel not a beer barrel? Well, actually there are a few types of beer barrels, and only one of them is referred to as an actual barrel! Each has its own name and holds different amounts of beer, ale or wine. The names for barrels were believed to have designated way back in 1454.

Define by .
Note that
Show that L can be extended to an entire function
Are you familiar with the derivation of the analytic continuation of ? Because this series has a similar continuation.
If not, that's ok because I don't think you're asking for the functional equation itself, just that it exists.
Before I make any head way on this problem, what are your thoughts on how to approach it?
What I know is how to show that the Gamma Function is meromorphic on . Then by evaluating in a specific way, one can show that is also meromorphic on , and therefore has to be meromorphic as well.
I actually thought that can somehow be extended holomorphically to similarly to the Gamma function. But thats all I can think of.
Actually I don't remember the proof exactly, it was very strange. Also I don't know the theorem you are talking about :(. What can I do?
I still need help!
Meanwhile I asked myself why the integral converges in the first place for ?
We have , so if you know that the integral defining Gamma converges, then so does this one.Quote:
Meanwhile I asked myself why the integral converges in the first place for ?
Ok, So to prove that Zeta is holomorphic everywhere, we used where are the Bernoulli numbers.
So I think I need a similar expression for , but I don't see it.
Euler numbers.
I don't know if this will help at all though, since ...
Ok here is the proof for Zeta being meromorphic everywhere.
where are the Bernoulli numbers.
Fix , (all terms even)
Now for Re(s) > 1:
is holomorphic at t = 0, has Taylor expansion:
hence near t = 0.
Integrand of near t = 0 is . So converges if Re(n+s-1) > -1, i.e. if Re(s) > -n.
For : , a finite sum of meromorphic functions on .
is meromorphic for Re(s) > -n, n arbitrary, hence is meromorphic on .
I didn't know this proof; it is rather simple, and adaptable to many situations.
Notice that you only use the fact that there exists an expansion when , regardless of the value of (or of the convergence of the series expansion).
Since is (even analytic), there is also such an expansion when (this is Taylor-Young's theorem). And you can transpose the proof seamlessly.
It will show you that is meromorphic on , so you also have to justify it has no poles... That may require the values of the coefficients ; I'll think about it.
Sidenote: there is a justification missing in your proof, but maybe it was an implicit reference to a proof you did for Gamma. An argument is indeed necessary to justify that is analytic; it is of the form where, for all , is analytic, but this is not sufficient to conclude that the integral itself is analytic. A "domination" is needed, like for the continuity or differentiability theorems under the integral sign. But it is simple to apply here, so I guess you were told it is just like for Gamma.
Addendum: in fact, the same method proves the analyticity on .
Indeed, we get an expression like , for , where is analytic. We know that , hence the first term defines an analytic function.
Furthermore, for , (usual functional equation of used several times) hence is just a polynomial, hence it is analytic.
The only piece that is not analytic for is the term , which comes from . (This proves that 1 is the only pole for ; it is simple with residue 1).
However, for , the term is 0 because is 0 at 0. Therefore, all terms are analytic. Thus is analytic on for all n, hence on . qed.
So I want to apply the same proof, but how do I find for L? Also to show that is meromorphic, don't I need to know the ?
Now I get it, its just the existence (even for Zeta) that is needed, which follows from analyticity.

Tribunal award for barman sacked over after-hours drinking
A FORMER barman at a popular Limerick watering hole has been awarded €1,300 after the Employment Appeals Tribunal found unfair procedures had been used in sacking him.
James Deedigan, of Suil na hAbhainn, Mill Road, Corbally, rejected claims by his ex-employer that he had failed to pay for staff drinks after hours and took a case for unfair dismissal against OM Properties Ltd, trading as the Spotted Dog in Janesboro.
Mr Deedigan had been employed for almost two years when he was fired in December 2010. It was the company's case that there had been concern about shortages in stock and cash and that clear instructions had been given to staff about recording all complimentary staff drinks.
The bar manager, the tribunal was told, had at one point banned free staff drinks; informed them these had to be paid for and also told them there was to be no extensive after-hours drinking on the premises.
It was claimed Mr Deedigan had been issued with verbal warnings for being late; arriving at work smelling of alcohol and staying in the pub drinking for too long after customers had left.
It was further claimed that despite these warnings, Mr Deedigan and another member of staff had been caught on CCTV drinking long after closing time. When confronted by the bar manager on December 5, 2010, Mr Deedigan denied not having paid for the drinks, which the bar manager regarded as a breach of trust, leaving him with no alternative but to dismiss him. His colleague had been suspended for a week because, according to management, there was no evidence he hadn't paid for his drinks.
Mr Deedigan denied ever having received verbal warnings prior to being sacked. Any drinks consumed by him he had either paid for himself or had been bought for him by customers.
Referring to the CCTV footage, Mr Deedigan said he and his colleague had put €30 in the till before drinking. Anything he had to drink on the night had been paid for, he insisted.
The tribunal determined that procedures followed in dismissing Mr Deedigan had been unfair. There was no record of the purported verbal warnings and the tribunal also found inconsistency in the sanction applied to Mr Deedigan's colleague.
Mr Deedigan, who was represented by Gerard Tobin of Limerick Citizens Information centre, was awarded €1300 for unfair dismissal.

Perry close to Romney...or is he? - Fresh off an action-packed weekend of GOP straw polling, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's (R) formal announcement seeking the nomination and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty's exit from the race, the GOP field may be crystallizing. In the most recent Republican primary polling, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney continues to lead the primary field in Fox News and CNN polls, but they differ in how far back Perry stands. The Fox poll - conducted among registered voters who plan to vote in their state's primary or caucus - shows Romney with a sturdy 21 to 13 percent lead over Perry. But CNN shows a slimmer 17 to 15 percent edge, within the poll's margin of error (the CNN numbers are among all Republican adults). Texas congressman Ron Paul earns a solid 12 percent support in CNN's poll, but just 6 percent according to Fox.
What explains the difference in poll numbers? It's possible that Republican voters are still kicking the tires on the primary field, and that many have yet to take a serious look. Though Romney continues to lead almost all national polls, 71 percent of his backers in a July Post-ABC poll said they only back him "somewhat," while fewer than half as many back him "strongly" (29 percent). Roughly two thirds of all GOP registered voters express only measured support for their current choice, underscoring the fact that while the news media are honed in on the election right now (including us!), only 20 percent of all registered voters say they're following the race "very closely."
Obama approval sub-40; steep drop among independents - President Obama's approval ratings sunk to 39 percent for the first time in his presidency according to Gallup daily tracking poll completed Saturday. The numbers are not a sharp drop - Obama has hit 40 percent approval three times in the past month - but much of the falloff appears to be among political independents. Fully 46 percent of independents approved of Obama in Gallup polls from late June to early July, but that's dropped to 34 percent in the last wave of polls.
Economic gloom mounts - More adults say America is off on the wrong track the worst economic troubles are still yet to come, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll released last week. Overall, 47 percent say the worst economic problems lie in the future while almost as many say the economy has "stabilized but not yet begun to improve." Those numbers jibe closely with a Washington Post poll conducted last week in which about half the public labeled the country's financial situation "a crisis," nearly equalling public sentiment when the financial meltdown started in 2008.

Romney tries to sidestep Olympics gaffe (London)
Updated 6:34 pm, Wednesday, September 5, 2012
LONDON - Thursday was supposed to be the easy day, when Mitt Romney would audition as a world leader here by talking about his shared values with the heads of the United States' friendliest ally.
Instead, the Republican presidential candidate insulted Britain as it welcomed the world for the Olympics by casting doubt on London's readiness for the Games, which open Friday, saying that the preparations he had seen were "disconcerting" and that it is "hard to know just how well it will turn out."
The comments drew a swift rebuke from Prime Minister David Cameron and, by day's end, a public tongue-lashing by the city's mayor as the Olympic torch arrived in Hyde Park.
"I hear there's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready," Mayor Boris Johnson cried out to a crowd of at least 60,000. "He wants to know whether we're ready. Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are."
Cameron, responding to the candidate with a note of irritation, said that "of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," an apparent reference to Salt Lake City. That city held the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, which Romney organized. The prime minister and the mayor are Conservatives, making their scolding all the more embarrassing for the candidate, an otherwise sympathetic ideological ally.
It was a difficult start to Romney's first foray on the international stage as the presumptive Republican nominee, one that was supposed to present him to U.S. voters as a potential commander in chief. Beyond his Olympics remarks, Romney had a series of uncomfortable moments - some of them seemingly minor, but distractions nonetheless.
At one point, he told reporters about his previously undisclosed meeting with the head of the MI-6, Britain's secret intelligence agency.
On the first official day of his six-day overseas tour, Romney declined to answer reporters' questions about his foreign policy positions , saying he will avoid talking about any policy specifics while on foreign soil.
He ended the day in a scene that could prove damaging for a candidate sometimes labeled as out of touch. A dinner fundraiser, which raised $2 million, was co-hosted by executives at banks under investigation in London's rate-fixing scandal.
For any candidate on a foreign trip, the margin for error is small, with every misstep magnified, fairly or not - especially so for Romney, whose visit is drawing inevitable comparisons to Barack Obama's largely successful foreign tour as a candidate in 2008.
The notoriously harsh British media spewed out brutal headlines about what they almost uniformly deemed a bomb of a debut for Romney. The criticism reverberated across the Atlantic and into the United States, overshadowing a day in which Romney wanted to polish his diplomatic credentials, although his surrogates insisted that they were not worried about overseas coverage.
Olympics organizers have had to cope with a series of security blunders, including a disclosure that the private contractor hired to provide guards for the Games was 3,500 staff members short. The military scrambled to fill in the gap.
Still, the hosts did not seem to appreciate a foreign visitor reminding them about the problems. Romney voiced his doubts about the final preparations for the Olympics during an interview with NBC News's Brian Williams, taped Wednesday as he began his trip.
Cameron responded by telling reporters on Thursday: "You're going to see beyond doubt that Britain can deliver."
He added: "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world."
A headline Thursday on the website of the Guardian newspaper said, "Mitt Romney's Olympics blunder stuns No. 10 and hands gift to Obama," while the Telegraph published an opinion column with a secondary headline that read: "Mitt Romney is perhaps the only politician who could start a trip that was supposed to be a charm offensive by being utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive."
By Thursday, in back-to-back meetings with British officials, Romney was lavishing praise on London's Olympics efforts. He said that "it is impossible for absolutely no mistakes to occur" at any Olympic Games. And in an appearance with Cameron in the formal White Room at 10 Downing St., he pronounced the Games "fabulous."
"I was watching last night the torch relay coming across Great Britain and the stories about that, and the enthusiasm and passion," he said. "And I love the theme, 'Inspire a Generation.' "
Later, Romney told reporters: "My experience as an Olympic organizer is that there are always a few very small things that end up going not quite right in the first day or so. Those get ironed out and then when the Games themselves begin and the athletes take over, all the mistakes that the organizing committee - and I made a few - all of those are overwhelmed by the many things that the athletes carry out that capture the spirit of the Games."
Romney passed on several opportunities to discuss his foreign policy proposals. He told reporters that he had spoken to British leaders about the global economy and the world's hot spots - including Syria, Iran, Egypt and Afghanistan - but insisted that he would not describe his positions while traveling abroad.
Several hours later, Romney campaign aides hastily arranged a briefing for reporters with a campaign adviser who attended the meetings to provide a more substantive window into the talks.
The adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that concern about the U.S. and British economies, coupled with fear of global fallout from the European debt crisis, consumed many of the meetings.
The leaders discussed recent developments in Syria and Iran, although Romney did not say how he would handle the crises because he did not want to "make his own foreign policy" while overseas, the adviser said.
Romney's visit to Britain, where the country's leaders boast of its long-standing "special relationship" with the United States, was expected to be a relatively easy stop, diplomatically speaking, on his foreign tour. From here, he will navigate more difficult terrain in Israel and Poland.
But in London, Romney hit a few other rough patches as well. During a morning press appearance with Ed Miliband, head of the opposition Labor Party, the candidate broke with typical protocol. While Miliband called on two British journalists to ask questions, which Romney answered, Romney did not call on any U.S. journalists.
While visiting with Foreign Secretary William Hague at the stately Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Romney also met with the leader of the MI-6, the intelligence agency. The meeting was not on Romney's public schedule, but the candidate referred to it in his remarks to reporters, saying they "discussed Syria and the hope for a more peaceful future for that country."
At the evening fundraiser, held at the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel, Romney showed no signs that anything had gone awry. He mused about his heartstrings being tugged as he drove past a statue of former prime minister Winston Churchill - "with him larger than life, enormous heft of that sculpture suggesting the scale, and the grandeur and the greatness of the man" - and his interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, who he noted "did a fine job."
"It has been a marvelous day for us," Romney said.

I never win anything (seriously). But, there was one time when I was the lucky recipient of a free copy of Michael Gerber's book The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Fail. If I could rewind the clock and start my business over I would have done so — armed with this book.
The E-Myth Revisited is a must-read for any new business owner.
If you're launching a business while working you're probably worried about how you're going to get customers and clients to your door, and how you'll make enough money from your entrepreneurial venture to leave cubicle life.
Fair enough. Those are important issues to sort out.
But, the underlying premise of The E-Myth makes you zone in on the long game. These are the top lessons that I learned from the book:
Most entrepreneurs go from being a technician for their employers to 100% technician in their own businesses.
This is one huge reason why many small businesses fail. The technician is the doer. But, a successful business requires us to wear three hats: the entrepreneur (the creative visionary/innovators), the manager (the strategic planner and keeper of order) and the technician (the doer/worker).
The entrepreneur lives in the future (what can be), the technician lives in the present (what's needed now) and the manager focuses in the past (what's been consistent and has worked). Each role is necessary to our business development. Knowing this important lesson from the outset will help you become more aware of how you approach your business.
Make sure you don't get so lost in technician-land that you forget to invest in the big picture.
Make time to work on the business and not just in the business.
When you first start out you'll likely begin with business and strategy planning. But this focus gets lost once you start to actually take on clients and customers. Your inclination will be to spend most of your time serving them while your CEO work lands on the back burner.
However, the CEO work is important in order to set your business up for steady growth and to ensure that you can serve your clients' absolute, best interests. At the very beginning of my business, I went from doing all CEO work, to all client workm to then finding my way back to a happy medium. Once I found that medium and went back to taking care of my business (so I could tend to the client's business) I saw tremendous progress.
Build the business on systems and not on people.
I repeat: Build the business on systems and not on people. Even though you may not ever plan to franchise your business you need to treat it like one from the start. With a franchise, you have to create processes, workflows and systems that can duplicated by someone at the most basic skill level. Most small businesses (including myself) start out building a business based on the assumption that you will always be the doer – a key person involved in the operations of the business.
If you have an assistant or other support, you may lean on really developing their skills so they can perform well and forget to focus on documenting the system itself. But, what if you need to take a sudden leave from the business? If it can't run without you, it's a broken (and vulnerable) system. What if your assistant suddenly leaves? Can you quickly put someone else in her position?
On the flip side…
But, what if you start from the very beginning developing a business that you can run from anywhere in the world? A business that gives you wiggle room to take stress-free time off? What if you can actually build in vacation time because you know you've set up a system that will take good care of your clients? What if you can actually experience the freedom that led you to entrepreneurship in the first place?
That sounds like a damn good place to be… and it's possible.
You hold the power to mold your future. This is the beauty of entrepreneurship.
The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Fail is the one book that I wish I read before starting my entrepreneurial journey. It's a must-read for all entrepreneurs but especially for those launching while working.
If you'd like us to help you sort through the legalities of launching a business while working, let's schedule a call.

Need a Loan:Consider the Choice for the Period Small Term Loan
So there you are. You are sitting at the kitchen table with your hands in your face while you are opened at a pile of bills and financial gain. So what do you do? Do you need a loan just now or do you just require to increment your income so you can in reality pay all of your bills at the end of the month? And the response is both. Raising you outgo will solve your long term difficulty, but right now, you need a loan cash in hand, right? I have been there just like you with a mountain of bills and not sufficient cash in my restrained account to pay them all. I need a loan cash right now but I was uncertain of what my choice truly were.
Two Basic Option for a Small Term Loan
Firstly you have secured loans. This type of loan need that you put something up of value that assurance the need a loan if you don't pay it back. This security is called security interest by the borrowers. A basic example of this form of loan would be a mortgage. If you don't pay your house payment, after a while the bank will repossess it. Even if it does take them several months like it does these days. It's as easy as that.
The next form of loan is an unsecured loan. This form does not need a loan security interest, but it does have a assurance of another kind that goes along with it. And that assurance is the honor of the borrower. In the economical world, a individual that has a good reputation also has good credit. That means that this person pays his bills on time, every time and has done so for years.
So which form is correct for you?
Well that all trusts on your position. If you have something of value, like a nice gold watch, then you should be able to lend some cash against it. This is called pawning and it is a form of secured loan. People have been pawning items for thousands of years. It's easy for the world's oldest form of borrowing. The premise is simple. You give the pawn broker your watch, they loan you some money and require that you pay it back after the agreed sum of time. If you don't pay it back, they keep your gold watch! Yep, couldn't be easier.
So what if you don't have anything of value?
If you have a job, you have something that is worthy. A steady job means you have a steady paycheck and that has a more value. And in case you didn't know, you can lend against a paycheck that you haven't gotten yet. This type of lending is called payday or cash advance loans. These loans can get you in a lot of problem if you are not cautious. They usually have superior interest rates and fees and have a negative reputation in the general public. Payday lending is a type of unsecured loan.
So how do these loans work?
In the old days you wrote a post dated check to the borrower, and after two weeks, they cashed it. Today, you give the borrower admittance to your checking account directly. And after two weeks, they take the money out. If there is not sufficient cash there, then they wait until there are finances available and take it out then. Yes, that sounds scary. And this type of borrowing should be avoided by most people.

Title : Estimating the Parameters of the K Distribution in the Intensity Domain
Descriptive Note : Technical rept.
Corporate Author : ELECTRONICS RESEARCH LAB SALISBURY (AUSTRALIA)
Personal Author(s) : Redding, Nicholas J.
PDF Url : ADA368069
Report Date : JUL 1999
Pagination or Media Count : 76
Abstract : This paper reviews a number of different moment-based methods for estimating the parameters of the K distribution. The K distribution is a model for the statistics of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery that is formed from the product of two independent distributions, one representing the radar cross-section, and the other representing speckle that is a characteristic of coherent imaging. A method for synthesizing correlated K-distributed random fields is reviewed. Moments of intensity, log intensity and amplitude statistics are used to compute measures which are inverted to give estimates of the mean and order parameters of the K distribution. A method based on the normalized logarithm of intensity is shown to give the best performance, confirming the results of Oliver (1993) and Blacknell (1994). The effect of correlation upon order parameter estimation and its role in the K distribution's underlying component pertaining to the radar cross-section is briefly considered. This work will be used to development target detection algorithms to find targets of interest in SAR imagery.

Nelson Mandela once stated his case for South Africa, and now Bill Clinton will lend his voice when the USA Bid Committee delivers its final presentation in hopes of landing the 2022 World Cup.
A day before FIFA announces the winners of the 2018 and 2022 bids for the World Cup, Clinton will participate during the USA Bid Committee's presentation to the FIFA Executive Committee, which is the small group that decides the winning bids.
The bid winners will be announced on Dec. 2 in Zurich, Switzerland, home of FIFA.
"I'm pleased to stand on behalf of our nation for something as important and meaningful to the American people and citizens throughout the world as the FIFA World Cup," President Clinton said in a statement released by the USA Bid Committee today. "I am committed to this effort because I have seen firsthand the powerful unifying force of the FIFA World Cup, bringing together people of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs. The USA Bid Committee shares that commitment, and we look forward to expressing that commitment to the FIFA Executive Committee when we meet next month."
Clinton was in office in 1994 when the U.S. served as host to the World Cup for the first and only time, and now he serves as the USA Bid's honorary chairman.
"President Clinton has been, and continues to be, the perfect ambassador for the United States and our national bid to bring the FIFA World Cup to the U.S. in 2022," U.S. Soccer president and USA Bid Committee chairman Sunil Gulati said in a statement. "President Clinton's leadership on behalf of our campaign has been extraordinary, and his passion for the game and our opportunity to host the World Cup is every bit as remarkable. We are honored that he will be with us in Zurich on Dec. 1."

CTV News Calgary Latest Videos
Calgary Transit plans to halt popular southwest bus routes
CTV Calgary
Published Thursday, November 8, 2012 4:54PM MST
Last Updated Friday, November 9, 2012 10:31AM MST
With the introduction of the west leg of the LRT, two bus routes are slated to be shut down for good and residents of the impacted communities are not pleased with the decision.
Bus routes 101 and 104 with service along Bow Trail out of the west Calgary communities of Coach Hill and Strathcona will cease to exist following the December 2012 opening of the newest branch of the CTrain.
Calgary Transit will provide shuttle service to the 69 St LRT station for residents of Coach Hill and Strathcona but bus service to the downtown core along Bow Trail will be halted.
A petition is circulating in the southwest communities in the hope of stopping the route closures. The petition has over 900 signatures and organizers say nearly everyone they talk to is upset with Calgary Transit's decision.
"I was just amazed when I went door to door," says Myrtle Sproule, a resident of Coach Hill. "When I met people, over 80 per cent, probably 90 per cent, were in favour of keeping the 101 bus to go downtown."
Calgary Transit is planning to hold open houses about the route changes in early 2013.

Leaky Gut - Detoxification Tips
Newsweek focused on an article recently, called "Gut Reactions", in which they reported that tiny leaks in the lining of small intestine may play a role in diseases as diverse as asthma and arthritis (Newsweek, November 17, 1997. P. 95-99). What is happening is a new awareness of one of the oldest immune weapons we have - our own gut lining! The lining of our intestine is meant not only to absorb food, but to act as a barrier to keep out invading pathogens. Newsweek calls it, "Intestinal Fortitude", where the mucosal layer of a healthy gut filters out microorganisms and undigested proteins. When this lining gets battered, by things like aspirin, bacteria, or even the pesticides sprayed on our food, the lining loses its integrity. This is when the door is open to let in the bacteria, the viruses, the parasites - (even undigested food molecules!) which can activate the immune system (and also the autoimmune system). We refer to this loss of integrity as "the leaky gut syndrome".
In the Mar-Apr 1996 issue of the Nutri-Notes, we reported on the leaky gut syndrome and its connection to disease. Various toxins can make their way through the barrier of the intestinal lining when it is permeable. Those toxins travel to the liver where they are detoxified. The liver has phases of detoxification to deal with eliminating foreign substances (phase I and II), but when the detoxification processes of the liver are impeded, it results in manifestation of disease, depending on where the toxins exert their effect. If the liver is overloaded and cant remove the toxins, they can recirculate or deposit in the body. Either way, they will upset the apple cart of balance. The toxins can recirculate to the intestinal area where they increase the permeability of the intestinal lining even more. The relation to toxic overload on the liver and leaky gut is cyclical: A leaky gut will allow more toxins to enter the system, and, conversely, toxic overload of the liver increases leaky gut.
We are exposed to an amazing load of toxins in our everyday encounters, from environmental poisons to metabolic wastes that are not efficiently eliminated. As we are exposed to more and more toxic insults, we are losing the ability to ward off disease-causing agents. The body has no recourse but to malfunction and lose cell-to-cell communication. Zane Gard remarked that, "Although the human mechanism is known to be an accommodating species, ecological alterations are now occurring at a faster rate than our bodies are able to adapt. There is perhaps no single contributing factor, which has accelerated these environmental transformations more than that of our current widespread uses of harmful chemical substances" (Gard, Zane R et al., Explore for the Professional. 1995;6(4):39-45). This issue of the newsletter deals with positive solutions for a) protecting the immune barrier of the gut, and b) providing optimal detoxification aid for waste removal.
"The immunological mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis probably begin when antigens cross an excessively permeable intestinal mucosa" Carli P et al. Presse Med 1995;24:606-610.
The gastrointestinal lining is supposed to absorb our nutrients, and at the same time act as a barrier to toxins. Aside from the physical barrier to invading pathogens, the GI lining makes up a major part of our immune system by furnishing secretory IgA and white blood cells to attack foreign invaders. Some of the things which can disrupt that barrier, however, include:
The inflammation that is caused by food allergies can increase the permeability of the intestinal lining even further. The process of food allergens being absorbed from gastrointestinal tract and initiating an immunological reaction is described in Gastroenterology by Walker & Isselbacher (Gastroenterology 1974;67:531-50). Even in people who do not have excessive permeability, we know that the low grade absorption of undegraded protein into the blood occurs regularly in healthy adults, varying from 2% upward depending on the degree of "leakiness" of their gut (Husby S. et al. Scand J Immunol 1985;22:83-92).
When we stop to consider the damage that can be done by a leaky gut, its not surprising that many diseases are associated with leaky gut. These diseases include: Celiac disease, food allergy, asthma, eczema, dermatitis herpetiformis, psoriasis, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, pancreatic insufficiency, environmental illness, multiple chemical sensitivity, and various others. Even when the leaky gut does not directly cause the disease, the resulting leakiness exacerbates the disease. Symptoms of leaky gut can include: fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia, fever, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, skin rashes, toxic feelings, memory deficit, and shortness of breath, among others.
The leaky gut is also highly implicated in autoimmune diseases. Some people have more of a genetic tendency than others to activate normal resting T cells, which then attack cells. These cells are supposed to be foreign invaders, but sometimes T cells are activated against the bodys own tissues, as in autoimmune disease. J. Hoofar implicated the leaky gut and undigested proteins in this T cell attack when he said, "It is thought that some dietary proteins escape the enzymatic digestion in the gastrointestinal tract and could possibly launch a polyclonal activation of the resting T lymphocytes in susceptible individuals" (Hoorfar J et al., Diabetes Research. 1992;20:33-41, p. 38).
A prominent researcher in the field of diabetes, F.W. Scott linked the leaky gut to type I diabetes and proposed it as a possible trigger in development of the disease. He said that post-weaning time is a crucial time, because these proteins pass the gastrointestinal barrier and initiate the process of destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas (Scott FW et al. Diabetes Res, 1988;7:153-157). It is important to keep in mind that this is not the only trigger for diseases such as diabetes, however it looks as though it may be an important one. One of the proteins leaking through the gut barrier to initiate diabetes is suspected to be the beta casein protein in cows milk. Antibodies to the milk protein are thought to cross react with beta cell proteins in the body and destroy them (Cavallo et al. The Lancet 1996;348:926-928).
Several nutrients help to maintain and fortify the integrity of the intestinal lining, including:
Glutamine is the main fuel that the intestinal cells need for maintenance and repair. Glutamine reinforces the immune system, and there is considerable evidence that glutamine can enhance the barrier function of the gut against viral, bacterial, and food antigen invaders (Hall JC et al. Br J Surg 1996 Mar;83(3):305-312). Glutamine has been proven to reduce cell injury and infection.
|Lactobacillus bifidus is a name for friendly bacteria which offset populations of bad bacteria, boosting the immune system. Friendly bacteria especially counteract candida, which can spread long mycelial arms right through the intestinal lining and perforate it, permitting wide-open entry to microorganisms and toxins. Jerusalem artichoke is a dietary source of FOS (fructooligosaccharides), which attract beneficial bacteria to inhabit the gut.
NAG (N-acetyl glucosamine), aside from being able to heal the extracellular tissue surrounding intestinal cells, has the unique ability to decrease the binding of some lectins to the intestinal lining, which can cause inflammation. NAG is one of the few nutrients with the power to bind to the powerful wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) lectin, which can activate T cells and influence autoimmunity in susceptible people.
Vitamins C and E, lipoic acid, zinc and ginkgo biloba are all antioxidants which protect the lining from free radical damage. Additionally, vitamin C and lipoic acid bind heavy metals which can cause disease when deposited in the tissues instead of being detoxified in the liver. Vitamin E maintains the integrity of all lipid cell membranes. Ginkgo biloba also increases circulation in the smaller vessels and capillaries, which increases nutrient delivery and tissue healing. The New England Journal of Medicine notes that zinc is involved in clearance of infection, increased levels of brush-border enzymes, regeneration of epithelial tissue, and improved absorption of water and electrolytes (NEJMedicine. Sept. 28, 1995. 333(13):839-844).
Cats claw is a novel herb that has been researched lately for its, "remarkable ability to cleanse the entire intestinal tract and help those suffering from different stomach and bowel disorders", including Crohns disease, gastritis, ulcers, parasites, candidiasis, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, leaky gut, and intestinal flora imbalance (Dr. Brent Davis, DC Wellness Advocate Feb 1995;5(1):1-4).
DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) increases the integrity of the mucosal cells - it increases the life span of the intestinal cells, improves the quality of protective substances, and improves blood supply of nutrients (Glick L. Lancet ii:817, 1982). Additionally, it has a high healing rate and significantly low relapse rate for ulcers (Kassir ZA Irish Med J 78:153-56, 1985; Irish Med J 1985;78:153-156).
Slippery elm is a soothing, protective demulcent reknowned for its beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal lining. Slippery elm calms the inflamed mucous membranes of the stomach (Balch JF Presc for Nutr Healing 1990, Garden City, NY). In addition to a soothing texture that coats the stomach lining, slippery elm contains the fiber-rich ingredient mucilage which stimulates mucus secretion (especially protective against ulcers).
Lynn Toohey, PhD, recommends Total Leaky Gut as it provides a comprehensive array of nutrients to support the integrity of the intestinal lining, one of the most crucial assets to health we have. Click here for more information on Total Leaky Gut, and click here for more information on Nutri-West, Inc., the manufacturer.
|Healing the intestinal lining fortifies our first line of immune defense. We must also address the accumulation of toxins already in the body, and those which we constantly add. Environmental toxins are rising at an alarming rate. James Braly says that, "Seriously allergic and sensitive people are essentially no different from everyone else - its a difference in degree, not kind. Their suffering is a clear warning to the rest of us about the incredible invisible dangers of our surroundings" (James Braly, MD. Dr. Bralys Food Allergy and Nutrition Revolution. Keats Publ. New Canaan, Conn. 1992).
Fasting to detox can release the toxins from the fatty tissue too quickly, especially in those who are overloaded. Reducing caloric intake can facilitate the process and rest the liver without trauma. Fasting also robs the body of the necessary nutrients needed to conjugate toxins, and stresses the already abused adrenal glands and pancreas by forcing low blood sugar regulation. A good protein powder to mix with fruit juice or tomato juice is an excellent way to slowly reduce caloric intake enough to rest the system while detoxifying.
For best results, add a good detox supplementation product to the regimen to assure efficient removal of toxins without intense and dramatic overload. If detox pathways are not running efficiently, released toxins are left to recirculate and redeposit in body tissues, causing pain, inflammation and disease.
|There are seven detox pathways in the body - liver, bowel, blood, lungs, lymph, skin and kidney. All of these pathways should be addressed, and the proper nutrients should be provided to ensure a slow, efficient, healthy removal of stored toxins, both environmental and internal.
The Liver: The liver bears the brunt of detoxifying poisons. One of the reasons the cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, have a reputation for being anticarcinogenic is because they have beneficial effects on the livers detox paths. Glutathione is one of the most important detoxifying agents in the liver because it conjugates toxins, making them water soluble and drawing them out of the body. Other important conjugating agents include taurine, glycine, and methionine. As part of the detoxification process, free radicals are generated. It is imperative to have adequate antioxidant protection. Antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, quercetin, selenium, coenzyme Q 10, taurine and curcumin. Zinc, selenium and glutathione are necessary for antioxidant enzymes in the body. When glutathione is taken in the reduced, active form, it saves the body the energy it takes to reduce it to its active form.
Other liver detox nutrients: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) has specific antioxidant action in the liver, and is known to protect cells. Red beets are very cleansing and have a specific action on the liver. Chlorophyll helps liver detox, and reduces carcinogen binding to DNA (J Nat Canc Inst Jan 4 1995;871):11). Dandelion has been traditionally used to treat liver congestion and inflammation of liver and gall bladder (Hoffman D. The New Holistic Herbal), and yellow dock also helps in liver detoxification.
The Bowels: Our colon is sometimes called, "the final elimination pathway". Since it is an elimination pathway for toxins, it is important that this pathway is not obstructed. Inefficient colon elimination results in toxin storage instead of removal. There are many nutrients which can facilitate the optimal functioning of the bowels. Many plant substances are high in fiber, such as beet root, asparagus, and broccoli. Additionally, there are many phytochemicals in these plants that favorably influence detox pathways. Beets also provide a good substrate source for the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which maintain the health of the colon (Titgemeyer, E C et al. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991;53:1418-24). These SCFAs can be effective against inflammatory conditions and those conditions associated with abnormal cell proliferation (Am J Clin Nutr 1995;61:75-81). Yellow dock stimulates bile and can relieve constipation without pain (Tierra L. The Herbs of Life. The Crossing Press, Freedon, Ca. 1992 pp. 82-83). Dandelion can also relieve constipation.
Blood: Chlorophyll is the main component of the plants blood, just as hemoglobin is the main component in human blood. Chlorophyll has long been used for its blood-cleansing and medicinal properties (J Nat Prod 1992;55:1241-44). Chlorophyll has been known to correct bacteria-scavenging activity in the blood (Vestn-Dermatol-Venerol 1990;(8):67-9). Dandelion purifies the blood, mainly by straining and filtering toxins and wastes from the bloodstream (Mowry DB. Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine. Keats Publ. New Canaan, Conn. 1986). Yellow dock is so well-known for its blood-cleansing properties, it is used synonymously with the term, "blood purifier" (Tyler V. The Honest Herbal. PPP, Ny, NY 1993).
|Lungs/lymph: Mullein is important in the detox pathway of the lungs and the lymph; it tones mucus membranes, reduces inflammation, and facilitates expectoration (Hoffman D. The New Holistic Herbal. Element Publ. Rockport, Mass. 1990). One of the flavonoids contained in mullein is hesperidin, which inhibits histamine release from mast cells (histamine can cause sneezing, itching, watery eyes, etc.) and has proven to have effective anti-allergic action (Yakugaku-Zasshi, 111:193-98). Additionally, mullein possesses antibacterial properties to prevent toxic invasion (Mowry DB. Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine. Keats Publ. New Canaan, Conn. 1986).
Skin: Yellow dock is helpful in skin conditions, especially those caused by blood-borne toxins; it has a natural iron content which builds the blood (Mowry DB. Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine. Keats Publ. New Canaan, Conn. 1986). Robyn Landis advises that skin conditions that are the result of accumulated wastes can temporarily appear worse, because backed-up wastes are released into the blood; the more aggressive the liver detox, the more of a load that is unleashed (Landis, R. Herbal Defense. Warner books, NY, NY 1997). (This is why a gentle, non-fasting, nutrient-supported detox regimen is recommended!)
|Kidney: Dandelion works on four of the major detox pathways: kidney, blood, liver, and colon (Mowry DB. Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine. Keats Publ. New Canaan, Conn. 1986). It has the power to stimulate kidney function and the urea detox pathway, while preserving potassium status. "This herb is a most valuable general tonic and perhaps the best widely applicable diuretic and liver tonic" (Hoffman D. The New Holistic Herbal, Element Publ. Rockport, Mass. 1990 p. 196).

Some of the toxins which enter through a leaky gut are actually undigested food macromolecules which the immune system doesnt recognize. To reduce the antigenicity of food, hydrochloric acid (HCL) can be utilized to break down protein. HCL also prevents bacterial invasion. Additionally, pancreatic enzymes can help break down food particles so that they are not recognized as foreign objects by the immune system.
When detoxing, reducing caloric intake can rest the system without the nutrient depletion of fasting. A good protein powder mixed with juice or rice milk can help in detox by providing cell-building amino acids while providing reduced caloric nourishment.

During the holidays my son found my Diablo 2 game, and asked if he could play it, I told him, number one, had to learn his 1000 words, and then, only if it rains. Well, he completed the 1000 words he needed to pass first grade, and even pushed his reading level past the base for second grade by the time summer break came around, and he did not forget that I said he could play it. I got badgered, like any 7 year old, he asked if he could play, like every ten seconds, once he reached the goals we set for him but we were having a drought. I should also point out, we have a LAN with all the computers in one room, the one that my son games on has a separate account for just playing the game, and we have the passwords to access it, Macs are awesome for this BTW.
The flaw in the plan is that it rains every day in the summer in Central Florida, sometimes twice, so when I come home from work, he wants to play. The rules are he has to play with both my wife, and I, so we can field any questions, and turn it into a social event as well as a gaming event. With all the rain lately, I am spending more time playing Diablo 2 than blogging. I can say, as a family we are having fun.
It rained Saturday, and this time the game was all about getting Diablo, the big bad. Our son was kinda worried, being 7, and all, but we had a plan. We would set a trap with spells ready, and my son would run out and lure Diablo back to us. Okay, my mom's friend did something like this with me when I was a teen, they made me run through the marsh so as to scare up the pheasants, so my mom's boss could shoot em. Luckily for me, my mom's boss was not Dick Cheney, so I faired well with this hunting tactic, even with live ammo. Diablo 2 is computer game, and our son has a good understanding that it is just a game so we went ahead with our plan.
The funny thing about plans and battles, in the end, the group that best controls the chaos after the battle is started, will most likely win; and that is what we did. I mean, we were chaotic, and somehow we still won. What happened was, our son ran out, just like we said, maybe just a little too soon, but he found Diablo anyway, and ran right back to my wife, who was still getting ready, saying "I found him! I found him! He is chasing me!" My wife is saying, "what?" "Wait I am not ready, I need to put the town portal up." I call out "ok I will put one up." Sure enough the moment my portal is active, our son, changes course, and takes a V-line straight through. Poof. He was gone, and safe. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, I hear "What! Oh No! Ahhh! I died." from my wife. Then she says, "I will be right down." I say, "no wait don't come back.!" It was too late, my son is laughing, our friend's dog, that we have on loan for a week, is howling, and Gail is back to saying "Oh no! Oh No! I died!" She got bone caged, and died again. She and I did do just enough damage that I was able to toss one finale volcano spell on Diablo to defeat the fiend. Of course, I told them not to come back down until I had sifted through all the treasure. We had a blast, and now we are on to the Lord of Destruction part of the game, so sorry I have not posted the maps I had planned yet, but I will soon I just forgot that it rains every day in Florida in the summer, at least we are all having fun as a family. Honestly I would like to get back to playing Pathfinder maybe using the "only if it rains" rule, now that I know how cool it is down here.

Public managers are expected to be grim yet determined, as an estimated 2.6 million workers take industrial action against a background of a shock raid on public sector pay and huge job losses still to come across the public sector.
Tuesday's autumn statement by George Osborne painted an increasingly gloomy picture for public sector staff. The Guardian's Andrew Sparrow said the statement "makes it hard to believe that he – or anyone else in government – was serious when asking public sector workers to think again about going on strike".
Jonathan Baume, the general secretary of the FDA, which represents the most senior civil servants, and which in an almost unprecedented move has voted for industrial action, said the statement was another blow to hard-pressed public sector works, who are being asked "to pay a very high price for a crisis they played no part in creating".
Baume said the imposition of a 1% cap on public sector pay for two years following the pay freeze would not only exacerbate a real fall in living standards for public sector workers, but would once again unfairly penalise the civil service.
He also said that a key aspect of the government's pensions' proposal had been devalued "at a stroke" by the chancellor's announcement that the government is to bring forward by 10 years – to 2026 – the date on which the state pension age will increase to 67, because of the government's insistence on linking the pension age of public sector workers to the state pension age.
Paul Noon, the general secretary of Prospect, the second-largest civil service union, said the government was "adding insult to injury" by imposing the two-year pay cap of 1% straight after the two-year pay freeze.
The chancellor's statement also included changes to the way public sector pay is negotiated. National pay bargaining will continue, but will only cover percentage increases. From 2015, actual pay levels will vary from region to region.

Craig Kissell suggested I take the Piaggio MP3-250 for the weekend. He must sense what I am ready to ride. Or ready to accept. So far each motorcycle or scooter has been a sort of minor revelation. The only problem I see having developed is that the next time I visit Kissell Motorsports I am going to want to try the MP3-400 and 500. (Note to Craig: Please reserve one of those big MP3's for me please)
From the first time I read about the Piaggio MP3 I began collecting a series of misperceptions. Until I finally had a chance to take it for a long ride last weekend I didn't realize how completely I misunderstood this machine. I was wrong about how it worked, about why someone might choose one, and most of all about the stability of the MP3.
Stability. Looking at the extra front wheel I assumed the MP3 would have superior stability. It does. On the road the thing feels glued to the road. On rough pavement or gravel you almost don't notice any change with both wheels independently navigating what comes along. In turns the MP3 leans smoothly like a two-wheeled vehicle but has the advantage of an extra wheel and suspension system to keep things surprisingly surefooted. Riding along PA Route 45 at 60mph the MP3 didn't flinch in the air blast of passing trucks. Two-wheeled motorcycles and scooters can be buffeted about badly in situations like that but the MP3 was solid and did not seem inclined to be blown off it's chosen course. Nice. Very nice.
So where was I wrong about stability? I was wrong in my expectations of how stable the MP3 would be at slow speeds–I believed it would not easily fall over. I feel stupid admitting this but in my head the MP3 was going to be my ride of choice in old age when my legs were weak and balance fading because the MP3 would stand up by itself. After all you can lock the front wheels in the upright position and it won't fall over. To reinforce my perceptions I look to a trip by two gentleman in their 70s across America on MP3s sponsored by Piaggio. You can see the results on the Web site No Age Limit.
This idea of stability went so far in my head that I even considered the MP3 a suitable first ride for my wife rather than having her learn the more difficult process of riding on two wheels. What can I say? I was wrong. I'm an idiot. Just follow along a bit and I'll explain.
I planned to meet my friend Paul in town and ride to some exotic breakfast location as part of a ritualistic riding habit. Coming up Calder Alley on a Saturday morning means you will be faced with trucks blocking your progress as they unload their wares. The MP3 travels unimpeded past them and allows me to stop in the middle of the road for a picture. When you stop you can lock the front wheels with a touch of a button. A blinking yellow light becomes a constant yellow informing you that the wheels are now locked and the MP3 will stand up all by itself. As you slow down to stop the blinking light comes on the moment you are traveling slow enough to lock the wheels. With a bit of practice and coordination you can engage the lock without ever putting your feet down.
For an experienced rider used to balancing at slow speeds and manipulating a variety of controls it's a pretty simple process. But for a new or inexperienced rider it just gets confusing. Do it wrong and you are sitting there thinking the wheels are locked and they aren't and down you go. And even if you do have them locked don't touch the throttle. A little inadvertent twist automatically disengages the lock and if you are moving—down you go. I've read about lot's of new MP3 owners dropping their new machines. I could never understand this until I took one for a ride.
My advice–don't touch the wheel locking button at all until your are completely comfortable riding the MP3 without it. Then introduce the wheel lock.
Paul and I left and after a bit of waffling on my part in terms of route we headed south out of town with plans to travel over Pine Grove Mountain. Fog was heavy in part of the valley and one of the less traveled routes out of town was closed for construction. As I stopped at the Road Closed sign Paul swung past me on his BMW and disappeared in the fog on the other side of the sign. So I twisted the throttle on the MP3 and introduced it to life as a scofflaw. Fortunately there were no pits to fall into. Just a smoothly graded bed of gravel awaiting truckloads of asphalt. The MP3 was unfazed by the gravel.
By the time we were over the mountain and traveling along the backroads I was completely enamoured by the MP3. The 249cc engine had plenty of power for these roads. Choosing one of the bigger MP3s, the 400 or 500, would expand performance and make freeway riding simple.
Paul and I stopped for breakfast just east of Huntingdon along US Route 22 at the Side Street Cafe and Deli. It's hidden off the road and not easy to see. I caught it out of the corner of my eye as we rode by and made a point to turn around and see what fare the local eatery offered.
No surprises at breakfast other than the prices. Low. Paul wondered aloud how they could stay in business. I didn't care to have that question answered and focused on enjoying the bounty provided.
For me a big part of the enjoyment of riding is discovery. Sometimes things about myself but more often new places I've not visited before. We managed to find a narrow road running through gaps in the mountains that offered little traffic, mostly fresh pavement, and a chance to see a lot of natural scenery. The kind of things that can recharge my battery.
I suppose the search isn't the same for everyone. While I looked for new views and scenery Paul searched for a cell signal for his iPhone. Different strokes.
Looking at the picture above I'm not sure what I miss more as I write. Being out in the world or riding the MP3. Despite having a lot of ideas dispelled when it came to this Piaggio product I quickly became comfortable with this scooter and found myself imagining life with this being the only ride available. While I like a lot of things I wasn't finding myself upset at the prospect. There is a lot to like about the MP3 as a machine to support recreational rides and as a daily commuting and transportation ride. It's superior stability on the road is a big advantage in my mind as I think about gravel, manure, rain, snow and other elements working against traction on the road. And the locking front wheels I at first thought of as a safety hazard and then a novelty now seems useful in a variety of ways, not the least of which is how it affords quick dismounts for taking pictures.
The Piaggio MP3 is a completely functional machine. The instrument cluster shows a lot of information including a variety of digital displays available at a touch of a button. Add to that the generous built in storage capacity and my scooter hauling abilities suddenly seem anemic.
And it's styling and looks has started to grow on me. While it doesn't look like a motorcycle or scooter it embodies the best handling of them both. And it's definitely worth a look especially if you are looking for an all purpose machine.

In Rwanda, in the context of the new UNDAP 2013-2018 cycle, the decision making and coordination mechanisms have been defined as summarized in the organogram below. (Add picture organograme) . The Implementing UN Agencies are responsible for ensuring the implementation of the activities funded through the UN which are required to achieve the UNDAP outputs. The Implementing UN Agencies carry both programmatic and financial accountability for their activities. UN Agencies are members of the Development Results Groups (DRGs). These serve as coordination mechanisms to ensure the development, implementations, quality, coherence and consistency of the UNDAP Results as well as monitoring and reporting on programme implementation. .......
The Programme Planning and Oversight Committee (PPOC) will guide analytical work in the UNDAP implementation process. They as well will support the UNCT by providing technical recommendations to programme planning, implementation and reporting of the UNDAP. The PPOC guides the analytical work in the UNDAP implementation process. This responsibility includes planning, support to the management of the ONE UN fund, quality performance oversight, policy dialogue and participation.
The United Nations Communications Group (UNCG) ensures coherent messaging from the ONE UN. the work of the UNCG improves the quality of dialogue with the host-country government, increases advocacy and helps to highlight results achieved by the UN at the country level. Communicating as One is critical for ensuring clear and consistent strategic positioning of the UN and its vision at the country level; developing common messages and policy positions; strengthening the outreach of the UN system by pooling efforts; supporting communication about the UN comparative advantages in the country to both internal and external stakeholders; and avoiding message duplication, inconsistencies and fragmentation. It implies developing common messaging and joint communication on key issues where the UN is active in the country. The Monitoring and Evaluation Task Force .....
the Operations Management Team (OMT) working group is supporting the UNCT in ensuring that 'operating as one" will be translated by the end of 2018 in saving the $13.67 million which is the objective of the Business Operation Strategy (BOS). (hyperlink to the document). The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) together with Security Management Team (SMT) are the responsibles for ensuring achievement of results and adherence to the UNDAP.
The UN Resident Coordinator, in is role as chair of the UNCT, he is the leader and the coordinator of the UNDAP and must oversee it's implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting of the UNDAP trhought the PPOC and M&E Task Force.

The trial of a Taylorsville man facing multiple child sex abuse charges has been postponed to a date yet to be determined.
Robert Anthony Divine, 34, was on the Spencer Circuit Court docket Thursday for his final pretrial conference.
Divine faces charges of first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree sodomy and incest. With all of those charges, the victim was under 12 years old, according to court records.
Kentucky State Police and Louisville Metro Police have teamed up with local law enforcement and first responders for the "Be a Hero, Be a Designated Driver" campaign.
The war is on against childhood obesity at Spencer County Elementary School.
The school has received a second grant from the national Fuel Up to Play 60 program, sponsored by the National Dairy Council and the National Football League, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Mark Bruner, charged with the brutal beating of a woman left by the side of the road, will go to trial in connection with that incident on Sept. 30.
Bruner was to have stood trial for assault March 11, but his jury trial was postponed because some needed paperwork was not in place, said Shelby County Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Melanie Carroll, who is handling the case.
A bill that would piece Spencer County back together into one representative district passed in the state House of Representatives earlier this month, but doesn't appear to be moving any further during the current legislative session.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court unanimously approved recommendations of both the building committee and equipment committee at its meeting Monday night, giving the OK for an architectural plan of the EMS building remodel and to spend upward of $83,000 for an ambulance remount.
The Fiscal Court's building committee met March 11 to discuss bids submitted to remodel a portion of the former Extension Service building, which is on its way to becoming the new EMS headquarters.
The Taylorsville-Spencer County Board of Adjustments voted unanimously on Thursday to grant a conditional use permit that would bring an existing Spencer County business downtown.
Taylorsville Machining, currently located next to Daugherty's Body Shop on Taylorsville Road, is now expected to move to Main Cross.
Taylorsville machining is owned and operated by Bruce Deigl.
Steve Goodlett, who currently owns the Main Cross building, applied for the conditional use permit on Deigl's behalf.
Two open records decisions have been issued from the Attorney General's office thus far in 2013 regarding complaints filed in Spencer County — the most recent says Judge-Executive Bill Karrer violated the Open Records Act, and another released in January says the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District did not.
The former Spencer County Middle School teacher and coach accused of breaking into the home of his ex-girlfriend and holding her against her will entered an Alford plea to the misdemeanor charge of unlawful imprisonment in Spencer District Court on Friday.
A felony charge of first-degree burglary was dismissed against Todd Andrew Bonds, 36.
An Alford plea means the accused does not admit guilt, but recognizes enough evidence exists that a jury might find him guilty.
Students at Spencer County and Taylorsville elementary schools celebrated Read Across America week and Dr. Seuss' birthday last week with multiple events.
