This paper reports findings from an 18-month qualitative study that followed the experiences of nine teacher residents, their site professors, site coordinators, clinical teachers and principals in three professional learning schools. The study examined the tensions that emerged as teacher preparation theory intersected with the context-bound realities of daily life in schools and the political constraints that diminish possibilities for inclusive education. The paper addresses implications for teacher preparation programmes by reporting how teacher residents negotiated their understanding of and commitment for inclusive education through three themes: (a) critical reflection as an emergent practice, (b) whose learning, and (c) the trouble with behaviour. Interpreting these themes has implications for programmatic designs in teacher preparation.

So this is Kirsebær's second appearance this advent and in the same place, her favorite place, in her crate snuggled in her blankies. I may have to include Odin and Freyja soon, so they do not feel slighted. Ok, they are dogs, and as long as they get cookies, belly rubs, and the occasional walk, they are pretty much good. On the whole, they do not have to worry about things like justice.
We, however, don't have that luxury. As Christians, as the ones who watch and wait for the advent once again of our Savior and Lord, we have work to do in those places God calls us to serve as Jesus did. Often that entails bringing justice to places and relationships that have known injustice.
When I posted this picture on social media, I included the following. "They say justice is blind." I understand where the idea comes from and its merit, but I also think justice to be justice must see.
It must see the big picture.
It must see the people involved.
It must see where injustice is taking place.
Finally, it must see ways to live itself into existence.
I am not going to try and delve the depths of justice and injustice in a 500-word reflection on a word and photo but I have a few thoughts based on our reading for today.
In our verses from Psalm 146 I see the very relational aspect of justice being lived out amongst the poor, and the privileged. The wicked are called to account, and the righteous are loved. What separates these two groups. Well, I think it is how we treat the "other": the oppressed, the hungry, those who are prisoners or are blind or bowed down.
It's quite the group, it can be overwhelming in fact, and truth be told, there is bound to be someone in there you are not very fond of, but the good news for all of us is that God is! In this world where we act and react out of fear it is God who is just, it is God the Psalm reminds us who helps us, it is God who executes justice. God's justice is not blind, but it sees, more than we can and it is in that justice I put my hope.

On what seemed like a regular Friday evening, Home Town was teeming with a few hundred excitable shoppers. A furnishings store in Vikhroli, a Mumbai suburb, it offers everything from iron nails that sell for a few rupees to shower enclosures and Jacuzzis that cost over a lakh. The reason they were there was that each of them had succumbed to the oldest four letter word in history–S.A.L.E (well, the second oldest actually!).
Sofas could be had at 40% off their regular prices while Panasonic 42-inch flat-screen televisions were on sale at Rs. 38,000 apiece. And on Independence Day when the sale ended, revenues at the store touched Rs. 2.1 crore–the most money any store earned on a single day across the Future group's network.
Sure, it's the kind of number that gives credence to the boom in India's consumption story and perhaps signals home furnishings may well be the next big thing. But it also signals the second coming of Kishore Biyani–India's original new kid on the block and the architect of India's largest retail network.
The funny thing is, when Biyani first invested in the 200,000 square feet property in early 2008, it wasn't meant to be a home furnishings store. Like everybody else, he was caught up in the euphoria of sunrise businesses like retail and was trying to grab every little piece of real estate he could lay his hands on. The original plan was, politely put, vague. Something like open two separate stores from among the many formats his group operated.
Then Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008 and the world changed.
The crisis that followed blew a hole in Future group's portfolio. Sales plunged; bankers who until then had queued up at his offices started to call in their loans; mutual funds that had invested in his companies buckled under redemption pressures and decided to get out; sources of foreign capital dried; his market capitalization plunged two-thirds in a matter of six months; and Biyani who had invested way ahead of the cash flows from his network found himself trapped.
At Home Town, sales had plunged 30%. In any case, the format was still to demonstrate it could deliver profits. In a chat with Forbes India at his quirky office in Mumbai Central, Biyani admits he's given to whimsical decisions. Nothing else, he said, could explain why he asked his team to convert the entire property into India's biggest home furnishing store. They looked aghast, but complied.
Damned right he was. This year, the store is on track to bring in revenues in the region of Rs. 200 crore. Biyani claims Home Town has an order book of Rs. 1,000 crore because real estate developers have cottoned on to the idea of selling furnished homes. And new home buyers are looking for a one-stop shop. "The success of that one store energized the entire organization," says Biyani.
The fact is Biyani isn't crawling out of the slowdown. He's tearing out of it. By the end of this financial year, the group's turnover is expected to cross Rs. 8,000 crore, up 27% from Rs. 6,342 crore the previous year. (This includes some double- counting because parts of the group buy and sell things to each other).
What makes these numbers remarkable is that even before the downturn struck, Biyani was being written off. In 2006, the Reliance juggernaut had announced its intention to get into retail with Rs. 25,000 crore to back its plans. The A.V. Birla group stepped up its plans as well to launch a chain of supermarkets and hypermarkets. Clearly, competition from deeper pockets was a big threat.
"Then, they said we didn't have the capital to play this game. When the slowdown struck, they said we'd go under," says Damodar Mall, Biyani's trusted lieutenant, who now heads integrated food strategy for the Future group.
By all indications, Reliance Retail is still coming to grips with the nuances of the retail business. A.V. Birla, too, is trying to fix its retail model. Even as rivals regroup, Biyani is pushing full steam. While the slowdown exposed chinks in his armor, he kept his head down and fixed his problems with debt, focused on cash flows and drove for greater efficiencies. "Most senior people were focused on driving costs down," he says. "They'd even switch off their air conditioners."
Clearly, the gut-wrenching experiences have taught him a few lessons. The question is has he changed forever as an entrepreneur? Is it possible that when the dark clouds dissipate completely, the group will lapse back into its old, reckless ways? The answers perhaps lie in the way Biyani is bracing himself for the future.
The Perfect Storm
Actually, Biyani's troubles began well before the financial meltdown starting towards the end of 2008. The listed entity, Pantaloons Retail had an overleveraged balance sheet with a debt to equity ratio of 3:1. Its rapid expansion had required short-term borrowings. Under Biyani's messianic zeal, the group opened too many fronts–book retailing, electronics, sports, salons, apparel.
The Lehman bankruptcy put an end to easy credit and the business began to feel the pinch. With developers in bad shape, future expansion was put on a hold. "There were a couple of days when running scared, I could have taken any decision," admits Biyani.
This was indeed a decisive moment for the man who started life on the fringes of the Indian retail industry in the mid Nineties. Till 2001, no one quite took notice of the inarticulate, fidgety man. The media shunned him, bankers couldn't figure him out–and peers didn't take him seriously. They simply couldn't understand why Biyani kept harping on the need to think local, and fretting about borrowing retailing concepts from the West.
All that changed once Biyani discovered Big Bazaar, a quintessential desi format. In one year alone, the three stores of Big Bazaar did Rs. 200 crore of business. Money remained an issue though till Biyani decided to do the conventional stuff that most bankers looked for: Hire top notch talent, woo bankers and learn to communicate with media. Thereafter, there was no stopping him. Riding on the back of the Big Bazaar success, Biyani hit centre stage. Suddenly, media couldn't have enough of him. He was on magazine covers, television shows on entrepreneurship; he was the star speaker at any retail forum and even went on to author a book.
In those heady days, it was easy to lose one's head. Today, Biyani admits as much. "I think markets were behaving differently. Everybody was telling you that you're smart. Every day, you looked in the mirror and you thought you were smart," says Biyani.
After the downturn, he landed with a thud. In any case, 2009 was proving to be a tough year for Indian retailers. Slowing growth and job losses had resulted in lower footfalls. While the food and fashion businesses held up, customers baulked at buying items with higher sticker prices, many of which bring in better margins for retailers. The brisk expansion of the previous two years left retailers gasping for capital that had almost overnight become hard to find.
Most prudent retailers like Shopper's Stop would look for outside funding only for the initial expansion; subsequent store openings are funded by internal cash flows. But Biyani chose to expand faster than his cash flows allowed, based primarily on borrowed money. The two years from 2006 were heady times for the industry. It seemed as if he was more focused on valuations and growth and less on the cash flows and operating efficiency.
Now, faced with a severe crisis, the Biyani household began to do a fair bit of soul-searching. The man in the hot seat chose to act decisively. He used this chance to consolidate his balance sheet and get rid of loss making businesses. As many as 200 mid-level managers were asked to leave, a decision that Biyani says he now regrets. Anything to do with retail has been brought under the Pantaloon Retail umbrella with businesses like Future Brands and Future Realty hived off. At Future Capital Holdings, he's recently brought in V. Vaidyanathan from the ICICI group to run the show and restart the operations which had floundered soon after launch.
Along the way, he also rolled over debt. Most of the debt will now mature in three to five years. B. Anand, group CFO, says he'll have to pay a little more in interest outgo for that, but at least he won't have to worry about it during the next three-year growth phase.
For now, Biyani will concentrate his efforts on four large formats–Pantaloons, Central, Big Bazaar and Food Bazaar. That's down from the over 22 formats he had just two years ago. Food, fashion, home and general merchandise are his main growth drivers. He's also pulled out of joint ventures he'd signed on for, like the one with the French lingerie retailer Etam.
The Value of Delegation
But the biggest decision was to step back from daily operations. While he's still passionate about visiting his stores, the overall responsibility for the retail business has moved to cousin Rakesh Biyani. Insiders at the company say the two are as different as chalk and cheese. While Kishore Biyani relies on his intuition, Rakesh Biyani is a methodical, numbers-driven guy with the patience to drill down and see a task through.
An upshot of this has been the company getting its supply chain in order. During the boom, it focused on opening new stores and expanding business in existing ones. This frenetic pace of expansion led to the supply chain creaking under pressure. Fill rates (industry parlance for optimum availability of merchandise on shelves) at stores hovered at less than 70%. For global retailers like Wal-Mart in the U.S., fill rates are closer to 90%. (Future now operates at 80%).
"Life had already become a problem due to hyper growth and lack of consolidation," says Rakesh Biyani, who went about setting the house in order. He estimates that the growth took away the group's attention from improving logistics for about a year. For the fashion business, the company had 18 warehouses across the country. The delivery was poor and tracking orders within the system, which came in one of 60 different box sizes, was a logistical nightmare. Differing taxation rules across states meant that each warehouse had to place a different purchase order, leading to accounting complications.
Rakesh and his team, in their effort to streamline operations, reduced the number of stock holding points to five and delivery hubs to four. Vendors would ship goods to one of the delivery hubs from where they would be routed through the system according to differing demand in different regions. Warehouses were upgraded at a cost of Rs. 150 crore at a time when cash was hard to come by. The order processing system for each store was streamlined using handheld devices, RFID (radio frequency identification) technology and warehouse management systems for tracking goods within the system. With the distribution system toned up, Rakesh Biyani is confident he's laid the foundation for a scale-up operation.
The Food Bet
For a long time, Biyani wasn't entirely ready for a line of business that accounts for 55% of the Indian retail pie: Food–more specifically, fresh fruits and vegetables. Biyani was concerned about margins. If the foods business had dominated his overall portfolio, the blended margins would have been severely dented. And yet, as Biyani figured later through a detailed study done by McKinsey & Co, the group wouldn't be seen as a significant player in retail unless it had a large-enough footprint in the business because fresh fruits and vegetables brought traffic to his stores.
Until then, fresh fruits and vegetables were outsourced to another retailer, like ITC Choupal Fresh. If it needed to be a dominant player, the Future group had to chart its own destiny.
All along, for the fresh foods business, Biyani followed one assumption: He looked upon himself as a retailer. He ruled out any investments in building a cold chain and trying to erect a farm-to-fork supply chain that many others like Reliance had begun. He believed it didn't pay to invest on elaborate infrastructure. He also didn't believe the hypothesis that 40% of fresh foods in India are wasted. "If that's the case, the wastage ought to be visible somewhere," quips Biyani.
When Reliance started implementing its plans, Biyani chose to watch from the sidelines. As things turned out, the Reliance Fresh expansion met with a series of setbacks. The cost of setting up the cold chain and warehousing infrastructure was simply too high. And it would have a huge impact on the final retail prices. Reliance has now shut down several stores that have proven to be unviable. Much the same thing is true of A.V. Birla's More.
As for Biyani, he is now looking to build a low-cost distribution and sourcing operation for fresh food. That entails building linkages with a set of farmers in areas like Nashik and encouraging them to follow good practices. So to reduce wastage and retain freshness, farmers are given information on when to harvest. For instance, if the store does higher volumes over the weekend, farmers are asked to time their harvest accordingly.
Instead of buying from third party consolidators, Biyani is now buying directly from farmers. That ensures he gets to keep higher margins–and get fresh produce into his stores. But there's a cost involved with setting up consolidator units across the country. "We've got to figure out how to offer something special that allows you to charge a small premium," says Damodar Mall.
Now, this is where the Future group's sophisticated understanding of Indian consumers kicks in. Last year, it conducted a detailed set of home visits across the country to build a better understanding of food habits. The size of refrigerators at Indian homes has increased over the years, says Mall. Which means, most households are now willing to stock up on perishables like fruits, vegetables, milk and bread for as long as a week. A closer inspection of the refrigerator also revealed that it often contains left-over food and plenty of work-in-progress items like chopped vegetables, chutneys and pastes.
Armed with these insights, Food Bazaar has taken over the fruit and vegetable sections of its stores that had been franchised to third parties. It is working with farmers in Kashmir and Himachal to buy apples directly from them, which will then be polished and pasted with stickers that indicate where it originates from. Adding this sticker allows Food Bazaar to charge Rs. 5 more per kilogram, says Vivek Dhume, director for foods. Next on the agenda are citrus fruits. Display areas have been spruced up. "We plan to celebrate fruits within our stores," says Mall.
The other big plank of the strategy is to localize the offering as much as possible so that it is tailored for each community. Mall and his team have done a detailed study of eight major communities in the country to understand their customs. And this is the crux of how it hopes to compete with global chains like Wal-Mart and Tesco.
Food still has wide regional variations. For instance, a Bengali living in Delhi still prefers to consume Govindbhog rice. But until five years ago, she wouldn't pay a premium on it if it was available at the local store. Instead, she would travel to the Bengali-dominated Chittaranjan Park area where it could be had cheaper. But things change and now time is at a premium. Mall reckons that a new market is waiting to be tapped. Under the Ekta brand, Food Bazaar plans to sell over 70 such ethnic foods, often at twice the margin.
Last month, in Kalyaninagar store in Pune, Govindbhog rice outsold even the local varieties, a surprisingly quick validation of the company's efforts. Still, Ekta is only a small part of the private label (or private brand as the company refers to it) strategy of the group.
The fashion side has well established brands like John Miller, Rangmanch and Urban Yoga and Biyani is keen to recreate this on the food side as well where margins for in house brands can be two and a half times higher than brands the company has little control over. Research by Interbrand shows 80% of buying decisions in the case of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are made in the store. So if one gets the private label business model right, the upside can be huge.
Enter Tasty Treat, Clean Mate, Care Mate, Premium Harvest and Sach, all of which have grown above expectations contributing 20-25% to the top line. Tasty Treat soups illustrate the company's understanding of the consumer and how it has managed to market its brand in a market where multinationals dominate.
Store research showed customers were shy to admit they consumed soup in mugs, and not bowls. When the figures were tallied, 82% said they drank soup in mugs. The marketing response was swift and precise. A mug was given away with every two packs of soup bought and sales skyrocketed. It's now the second largest soup brand sold in Food Bazaar. "Our biggest advantage is that we do our research ourselves in our stores due to our direct interaction and engagement with customers and don't rely on an outside agency," says Devendra Chawla, business head of food and FMCG, private labels.
Sach toothpaste is another success story. Again the team relied only on customers visiting stores to craft their strategy. They asked consumers which youth icon they identified with. Sachin Tendulkar was the overwhelming favorite. Housewives said he was humble and rarely seen on page 3. He's someone they would like their children to emulate. Tendulkar was roped in and Sach is now the second largest toothpaste in Biyani's stores. For the time being though, Biyani says he has no ambition of being an FMCG player and will stick to selling these products in his stores.
The next big thrust is to set up a food park near Bangalore, where the Karnataka government has given it cheap land. Pantaloon Retail has invited manufacturers of soup, noodles, and a range of Indian food items to set up shop there. It will buy these products for its own store brands.
The Future
The focus on fewer formats has helped ensure there is greater attention to growing big brands in the group, particularly Big Bazaar, which now generates more than Rs. 5,000 crore in turnover.
Although they can't quite understand the logic behind crowded aisles and the seemingly chaotic nature of the chain, even foreign retailers grudgingly reckon Biyani may have discovered a truly pan- Indian model. Ashni, Biyani's daughter, who trained at a design school in New York, is now leading a project to figure how Big Bazaar stores ought to look like in 2015. Quick change could alienate customers while slow change will lead them to competition, says Ashni. "In the times to come we will continuously be in touch with India's idea of modernity. Our entire design or features of stores is going to grapple with that main concern," she promises.
A new Food Bazaar store at Malleswaram in Bangalore will be her model for a destination store. Here, papads will be made live and fresh nimbu paani served. In future, Food Bazaars could also see live counters that grind chutneys and cooking pastes for customers, similar to salad counters in Western supermarkets.
Vibha Paul Rishi, who headed marketing for Pepsico in India a decade ago, is now the new chief marketing officer for the group. Her task is to track evolving customer tastes. "To grow, we have to come up with an overarching customer strategy, not one that tracks just SEC A and B," says Rishi. Her aim is to start collecting data on customer preferences and bring in organized systems to track them using loyalty programs. The group will be investing in analytics to track all the data and use it for target marketing campaigns.
So while Big Bazaar stays focused on serving its customers and gradually upgrading as the customer base matures, Biyani has his eyes peeled on the opportunity on a more premium offering a few notches higher than Big Bazaar. For the past year, Biyani has been busy trying to frame a joint venture with Carrefour for a chain of midmarket stores. The talks continue.
As consumption demand kicks in, the Future group has one big advantage: it has mapped out all the major catchments across most tier-one, tier-two and now tier-three towns. "It is easy for us to expand into these locations because we know what to stock and how to roll out quickly in these markets," says Mall.
On his part, Biyani says he is careful not to get carried away by his own breakneck pace of growth. "This time the pace will be a lot more gradual," he says. But the data he offers as support isn't exactly measured. "By the end of 2012, our group will be Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 20,000 crore in revenues, with close to Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,000 crore in cash flows. Since my capital deployment is only Rs. 600- 700 crore, there will be some cash for mergers and acquisitions as well," says the flamboyant Biyani.

Sheriff's detectives are investigating a robbery at an Upper Keys convenience store.
Detective Jacques Rozek has been assigned as lead investigator in the case. He says he has identified the man who robbed the Circle K store at the 92.7 mm of the highway in Tavernier early Monday. The clerk told deputies and detectives he was working inside the store at about 4:15 a.m. when a man wearing a sweater, blue jeans, tennis shoes and a mask entered the store. He demanded money from the register. As the victim walked toward the front counter, the suspect pushed him, telling him to hurry and indicating he had a weapon hidden under his sweater. The victim went to the register and began to take money out; at that point, the suspect jumped up onto the counter and also began grabbing money from the register.
The suspect left the store and the victim notified the Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's detectives are currently working to obtain a warrant for the suspect's arrest in the case.

A little bit of news since yesterday and I will focus on them but more broadly the sector seemed to struggle yesterday. It had been outperforming so a day of.
Long weekend and a significant lack of news. I do not think there was an expectation of big news but sometimes these long weekends can surprise with a flurry of.
Some news to talk about today in a couple stocks and one idea I want to float that has been ruminating in my mind. The sector continues to do well.
We have some additional news yesterday but nothing that is necessarily positive for the sector. It certainly rallied in the afternoon and I suspect there is enough juice left for.
Some decent news this morning for the sector but not quite a robust reaction. Perhaps the sector needs to pause after its recent run or perhaps it will rally later.
A relatively slow start to the week, so I will start off with perhaps the most (maybe only) meaningful fundamental news and then highlight another stock that is very likely.
So I think we need to be prepared for some more backlash and bad press given the decision by Marathon to think it is business as usual. So far the.
Certainly some news for the sector and not great news but it seems to be having limited impact on the broader sector. In other words, people seem to be seeing.
The sector (and I guess you could argue the market in general) has been pretty dull the past couple of days. During the past year these periods of no news.
I was correct in my prediction that I would need to take care of a sick child (and still need to do so today but have some more time). It.
We had some earnings but the real potential mover of the sector is the meeting this morning with Trump. The headlines are still early but it looks like a net.
Volatility is the name of the game with the daily flow of disruptive executive orders coming out of Washington but despite this the VIX has been going down and the.
We obviously got some news and price action but most of it is explainable and somewhat predictable. I will highlight some of the news and focus on the BMY report.
Tomorrow is our big earning day (will not be able to write tomorrow so look for an update on the news Friday) but today we at least had a positive.
Still a slow start to the week especially for an earnings week. I will highlight a couple biotech points and one non-biotech. In terms of the non-biotech, I am becoming.
There is not a lot of new news out this week but this is a week where earnings start, which could pick up the pace a little in terms of.
We are getting some more offerings as is expected post JPM but they seem slower than usual. In any case, we have more large cap pharma news that is pretty.
We have some news to talk about that seems to be a net neutral but in terms of individual stocks are likely meaningful. I also do not want to beat.
The sector appears to have shrugged off (relatively speaking as to what could have happened) the recent Trump noise on the industry and likely for good reason. It is only.
JPM is over and I am back. It is a lot to digest, so I will do some broad highlights today and then get more into details on Monday. To.
I am getting ready to head out to JPM but I wanted to have a quick JPM note this morning. In general, the news has been a little slow as.
News continues to come in (both expected and unexpected) and the sector remains strong into JPM. Usually there is a tailwind JPM week that can last a little but eventually.
News is starting to pick up as we approach JPM. This should continue through the weekend. There has not really been anything dramatic today as these early birds tend to.
The year continues at two for two with another trial failure but so far the market is shrugging it off. It is not surprising as expectations build for JPM. Usually.
Welcome to 2017 and we are not off to a great fundamental start with a phase III failure, capital raises and price increases. In other words, more of the same..
I hope that everyone is having a good holiday season. News has slowed to a crawl and I will start making the 2017 previews unless there is some breaking news..
The news flow continues with deals and talk of deals. I want to end this week (will be at home for the holidays Thursday and Friday) with a follow up.
Well, this has been a strangely interesting day for the week before Christmas. I thought the bulk of news was done but I clearly spoke too soon. There is some.
We are winding down and gearing up. The year is winding down so the news flow seems to be drying up but we are starting to gear up with 2017.
I am back from jury duty and will try and catch up on the events of this week but will continue that next week before the holiday break. The trading.
So the sector seems to be moving beyond the Trump Tantrum if only slowly. It sort of helps that we have something else to obsess and argue about with Alzheimer's.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
It is for a murder case, and according to his investigator and attorney, the only evidence against him is the person that accused him of the crime.
Here are some more details; one person was accused of murder and went on the run. He was then arrested in another state and brought back to California. When he arrived, he accused the person I know of doing the crime. According to his investigator and attorney, the only evidence against him is the person that was on the run. What happens now in the pre-preliminary hearing and a preliminary hearing?
And by the way, the person that accused him has a criminal background with weapon charges.
A preliminary hearing is an evidentiary hearing in which the prosecution must provide to a court enough evidence to establish probable cause that a crime occurred and that the defendant is the perpetrator. The hearing is not entended to establish guilt and it's rest cannot be brought up by the prosecution during the guilt phase (jury trial).
At the PX, the court will either hold the defendant to answer for the crime, reduce the matter from a felony to a misdemeanor or dismiss the case outright - although the last option is very rare. In fact, even if the matter is dismissed, the DA would still be able to refile criminal charges on the matter. Good luck.
This is a conversation that you should be having with this person's attorney. My colleague indicated procedurally what will happen at a PH-with regards to the specifics the attorney is the best person to have this conversation with.
Sounds like the case you are referring to might be venued in San Bernardino County. I don't know which case you are talking about, however, San Bernardino County generally calls the cases Pre-Prelim and Prelim. In a pre-preliminary hearing, the purpose is to make sure that the witnesses in the case (such as the police officer, other witnesses etc) are available to testify, are under appropriate subpoena and that the parties are ready to proceed. It is more an interest in confirming with the court whether the parties are both "ready" to proceed to preliminary hearing. Oftentimes, officers may be unavailable, in training, sick, out of town, etc., so the pre-preliminary hearing confirms all of that. As far as the PH is concerned, that is a probable cause hearing to determine if there is enough "reasonable suspicion or probable cause" to believe a crime has been committed. There is no right to a jury in the PH. A judge will evaluate the facts and determine if the charges warrant being "held to answer" so that it can proceed towards jury trial.
A preliminary hearing is a hearing designed so a defendants time, energy, and expenses are not wasted on charges that are not likely to go to trial. A pre hearing is likely a setting.
Preliminary Hearings may be conducted pursuant to Prop 115. If so, the rules of evidence allow hearsay evidence at these hearings
Criminal defense Criminal charges Crime classifications Felony crime Misdemeanor crime Criminal charges for murder Probable cause and criminal defense Reasonable suspicion and criminal defense Defenses for criminal charges Criminal arrest Evidence in criminal cases Hearsay in criminal cases Warrants and criminal charges Violent crime Subpoena

Working with the UN Human Rights Council and Special Procedures Phil Lynch Director Human Rights Law Resource Centre Ltd
Overview of the UN Human Rights Council Established in March 2006 by UN General Assembly to replace UN Human Rights Commission Comprises 47 member states, elected by GA 'Gross violators' can be removed by 2/3 majority of GA Aims to promote, coordinate, monitor and mainstream human rights internationally and within the UN system Primary modalities: Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Special Procedures
Universal Periodic Review Periodic review of states' 'fulfilment of human rights obligations and commitments', based on: an 'interactive dialogue' 'objective and reliable information' from the state concerned the OHCHR other 'relevant stakeholders', including NGOs, NHRIs Australia due in 2011 For further information, see:
What is a 'Special Procedure'? Independent expert/s entrusted with mandate to examine, monitor, research, report and advise on human rights issues Generally appointed by and report to: UN Human Rights Council; or UN Secretary General Also called 'Special Rapporteurs', 'Independent Experts', 'Special Representatives' and 'Working Groups'
Mandates of Special Procedures Country Mandates (9) Thematic Mandates (29) 8 on civil and political rights (torture, summary executions, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, independence of judges and lawyers, racism, counter-terrorism, human rights defenders) 8 on economic, social and cultural rights (food, health, education, housing, toxic wastes, poverty, economic reform and debt) 9 focusing on specific groups (migrants, internally displaced persons, women, children, minorities, indigenous, migrants, trafficking, slavery) 4 working groups (arbitrary detention, enforced and involuntary disappearances, mercenaries and African descent)
Functions of Special Procedures Five key responsibilities: 1. Urgent appeals 2. Country visits 3. Follow-up 4. Normative work 5. Annual reports
Urgent Appeals Upon receiving credible information of human rights violation within scope of mandate, SP may send 'Urgent Appeal' to relevant Government May relate to individual or systemic violation May relate to past or prospective violation In general, urgent appeals: request investigation, action and remedy by govt; are confidential between SP and govt; are reported to UN HRC, GA or Sec-Gen as appropriate; and are included in Annual Report.
Submitting an Urgent Appeal May be made by victim/s, lawyers and NGOs Send request for action to SP via UN OHCHR Request should contain: Details of author (this is maintained confidential in subsequent communication); Details of alleged victim/s; Date, place and detailed description of violation; Details of alleged perpetrator; Details of any steps taken to investigate or remedy violation; and Clear linkage between human rights issue and mandate of SP Model request forms available m m
Urgent Appeals v. Treaty Body Communications Advantages: Timely and expeditious Can be used preventatively No need to 'exhaust domestic remedies' Complaint may be brought against any country on any issue within mandate (regardless of treaty ratification) Complaint need not be made by victim (although credibility of information is important) Disadvantages: No relevant thematic mandate Confidential between SP and govt Author may not be informed of outcome Govt may simply ignore urgent appeal or refuse request for country visit Generally make observations, not 'legal' recommendations
Case Study: Conditions of Detention of 'Terror' Suspects Overview of conditions of detention Confinement in cells Access to lawyers Shackling and restraints Visitations Religious observance and diet Physical and mental health Period of detention Used in conjunction with domestic mechanisms Evidence in domestic bail and stay proceedings Political awareness and accountability
Case Study: Conditions of Detention of 'Terror' Suspects (2) Joint complaint to: WG on Arbitrary Detention re proportionality of detention Adopted 'Opinion' expressing 4 significant concerns Severity of conditions Scanning of legal correspondence Lack of consideration of individual circumstances Constraints on judicial discretion regarding bail SR on Freedom of Religion re restrictions on religious observance Reported in Annual Report SR on Independence of Lawyers re facilities and resources to prepare defence Reported in Annual Report
Country Visits SPs may request permission to visit a country where concerned about particular violations or implementation failures Australia has not issued a 'standing invitation' Meet with and obtain information from governments, NGOs and community Aim to engage in positive dialogue and make observations and recommendations Reports submitted to UN HRC and GA and Sec-Gen
Using Country Visits Utility of country visits: Create momentum and opportunity for change Visibility on a thematic area Opportunity to voice concerns in international fora Report can be a tool to advocate for change Obtaining a country visit: Make requests to SPs in thematic areas of interest to your work Motivate requests in terms of desirability and timeliness of mission
Using Country Visits (2) Preparation Advise on WHERE to go, WHO to meet and WHAT to address Suggest recommendations that would be useful for you and your communities Follow up Disseminate the report Monitor and report on implementation (lack of)
Case Study: Homelessness and SRAH Visit to Australia Context – 100,00 homeless, economic prosperity, threatened funding cuts Urgent action letter submitted March 2005 Letter of allegation and request for country visit SAAP funding cuts withdrawn SRAH invited to visit Country visit August 2006 – Role of NGOs Jointly contributed to itinerary and facilitation of meetings Informed interim report issued in August 2006 Provided detailed NGO information in November 2006 SRAH reported to UN HRC in June 2007 and NGOs made oral submissions Used to engage media and in policy and advocacy work
Follow Up Many SPs hold dialogues with governments to follow-up on actions, recommendations or observations arising from urgent appeals and country visits SPs may also be used by civil society to 'follow up' on implementation of treaty body recommendations
Normative Work Many SPs attempt to develop norms and standards and further develop jurisprudence in thematic area Excellent source of information about source and substantive content of relevant rights relevant in Vic under s 32(2) of Charter
Annual Reports All SPs report annually to UN HRC and some also report to GA and Sec-Gen Reports contain: details of urgent appeals and government responses reports on country visits observations on normative content of right Some SPs also prepare thematic reports UN SRAH Report on Women and Adequate Housing

StockBrokers.com continues to closely monitor the publicly-traded online brokers quarterly earnings reports. The online brokers had a difficult time in 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013. Did the second quarter bring any better results from the online brokers? We'll take a look at some fast facts from each company's quarterly results, and then explore what it might mean for the industry overall. Here's a look at second quarter earnings results from TD Ameritrade (AMTD), E*TRADE (ETFC), Charles Schwab (SCHW), and Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
First of all, we'll take a look at how each online broker did in the second quarter of 2013 compared to how they did in the same quarter a year ago. TD Ameritrade earned 33 cents this past quarter, which was a nickel higher than the amount they earned a year ago. E*TRADE reported earnings of 21 cents per share versus a profit of 14 cents last year. Charles Schwab reported earnings of 19 cents per share, which came up a penny short of last year's profit of 20 cents per share. Interactive Brokers reported a bottom line profit of 21 cents per share, which was four cents above their profit from the same quarter in 2012.
TD Ameritrade 2013 2nd Quarter Earnings Fast Facts:
TD Ameritrade reported revenue of $725 million in the quarter, which marked the highest revenue number this company has ever reported.
Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) were 399,000 during the quarter. This was 12 percent higher than a year ago.
Ameritrade announced it will hire 50 to 100 salespeople for its branches in the third quarter.
10 percent of daily trades completed through TD Ameritrade were generated on mobile devices in the second quarter.
TD Ameritrade had been hurt by slower trading volume in previous quarters, but the second quarter of 2013 was the most active quarter for TD Ameritrade users in the past two years. Earnings in the second quarter exceeded analysts estimates by two cents on the bottom line and by nearly $20 million on the top line. Shares of TD Ameritrade are currently trading right at their 52 week high on the heels of this positive earnings news from the company.
E*TRADE 2013 2nd Quarter Earnings Fast Facts:
E*TRADE reported a profit of 21 cents per share before one-time charges, but with those charges the company actually lost 19 cents per share.
DARTs were 150,000 during the quarter, which was eight percent higher than the same quarter a year ago.
Brokerage account attrition matched a record low for the company at 8.4 percent in the second quarter.
E*TRADE announced it will exit the struggling market making business. This exit is the reason for the one-time charges in the second quarter results.
E*TRADE reported second quarter revenue of $440 million. Analysts were expecting revenue of only $422 million. E*TRADE ended the second quarter with total customer assets of $220 billion. Provisions for loan losses fell to $46 million as the company continues to clean up its balance sheet. Shares of ETFC jumped more than 8 percent the day after these results were reported. The stock is now at its highest level in nearly two years.
Charles Schwab 2013 2nd Quarter Earnings Fast Facts:
Schwab actually missed analysts estimates by a penny on the bottom line in the second quarter.
Expenses rose nine percent from a year ago, and that was the primary reason for the earnings miss.
Charles Schwab reported a pre-tax profit margin of 30.8% in the second quarter, down from 33.7% in the same quarter last year.
Net new accounts totaled 47,000 in the second quarter, which is 18% higher than a year ago.
Higher expenses held back Schwab in this quarter. The comparison to last year for Schwab is actually not an apples to apples comparison. During the second quarter of 2012, Schwab reported a one-time gain that boosted earnings. Excluding that gain, Schwab's net income was up 11% from a year ago, so the company is continuing to increase its bottom line. Schwab executives said during the earnings call that the company will continue to increase spending on advertisements aimed at selling the brokers "advice" products.
Interactive Brokers 2013 2nd Quarter Earnings Fast Facts:
Interactive Brokers missed analysts estimates on the top line. The company reported revenues of $283.9 million compared to estimates of $295 million.
Net revenue at the electronic brokerage unit of this company grew an impressive 24 percent from a year ago.
The market making business continues to be a major drag on earnings. Net Revenue plunged 26.2% for this segment.
DARTs were 463,000 during the quarter, which was 16% higher than the same quarter a year ago.
It continues to be a tale of two completely different companies at Interactive Brokers right now. The market making business is pulling down earnings on a quarterly basis. Low volatility continues to plague this business. On the other side, the electronic brokerage segment is experiencing a lot of growth. Pre-tax profit margin in the electronic brokerage segment was 58 percent in the second quarter, compared to just 53 percent last year. Total customer equity grew 31 percent in the past year to a current level of $37.4 billion.
The second quarter of 2013 certainly marked the best quarter for online brokerages in quite some time. TD Ameritrade and E*TRADE blew away analysts expectations in the quarter. It seems like brokers who are more closely tied to trading activity got more of a boost than those who weren't. The rise in DARTs during the second quarter has to be encouraging for the industry as a whole, but the summer months are typically much slower so it will be interesting to see how these numbers look for the third quarter.
Shares of all four of these online brokers are essentially at their 52 week highs right now. While Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab didn't jump initially as the other two did, their shares have started climbing again recently with the uptick in the overall market.
Stay tuned as StockBrokers.com will have a look at third quarter earnings in the online brokerage industry in three months.

While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Your Mercedes-Benz dealership isn't the only place to locate the best replacement parts for your C36 AMG. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Axle Shaft to repair your vehicle. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace.
Plain and simple, your vehicle needs its axle shafts to move forward and backward. Your transmission sends the engine's torque to a differential, and the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG axle shafts transmit that power to the wheels. Your Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG will have solid axle shafts in the rear, as it does not have an independent suspension. Wherever the wheels on each side of a differential can move independently of one another, you will see CV axles and not solid axle shafts.
When your Mercedes-Benz needs a top quality replacement Axle Shaft, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG Axle Shaft parts for 1997, 1996 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Health care reform's requirements and insurance payers' demands are transforming the way that health care is delivered and providers are paid. We are moving from payment on a fee-for-service basis focused on volume to payment for patient outcomes based on quality and cost. To reduce costs and improve the health of populations, the new health care environment calls for a focus on wellness rather than treating illness. Health care delivery systems must be clinically integrated to be successful in this new environment and to provide the best possible care.
One definition of clinical integration is "a structured collaboration among physicians and hospitals to develop an active and ongoing program designed to improve the quality and efficiency of heath care" (Advocate Health Care). A clinically integrated organization is designed to remove barriers to the coordination of patient care. Clinical integration is a relatively new concept that is being employed more regularly across the country.
As a community of physicians, Integrated Care Partners defines performance objectives, quality standards and evidence-based medicine protocols; forges partnerships with health plans, employers and providers; and establishes requirements for participation – all with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality, coordinated patient care and improving the overall health of populations.
Integrated Care Partners is not an employed practice model, a program run by hospitals, physician employment or a practice-management service. It includes private-practice physicians as well as physicians employed by or associated with Hartford HealthCare. There is no enrollment fee.
Physicians who are committed to engaging in an active program of clinical integration are invited to join Integrated Care Partners. The invitation extends to Hartford HealthCare-associated physicians, employed and in private practice, as well as community-based physicians who are not part of a Hartford HealthCare member organization.
To improve the health and healing of the people and communities we serve.
To be nationally respected for excellence in patient care and most trusted for personalized coordinated care.
Our goals are to:

The long-running, often nasty, sometime vexatious legal battle between SAC Capital Advisors and Canadian pharmaceutical company Biovail is finally at an end.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which merged with Biovail in June, agreed to pay US$10 million to SAC to settle a countersuit filed by the hedge fund in February. Biovail's own lawsuit against SAC—which the Stamford, Conn.-based firm called "vexatious"—was dismissed last year.
Another lawsuit against SAC, filed by Biovail shareholders, met the same fate.
Valeant's announcement of the settlement, which came alongside its quarterly loss announcement, also included the closest thing to an apology that SAC is likely to get.
"The initiation of litigation against SAC and others in 2006 by Biovail's management at the time was regrettable," CEO J. Michael Pearson said. "We would like to put this incident behind us."
Valeant also settled a lawsuit filed by Gradient Analytics, a research firm and one of SAC's co-defendants in the Biovail litigation. SAC and Gradient were accused of conspiring to drive the company's stock price down.
The US$10 million will cover a "portion" of SAC's legal expenses in the case. Still, the hedge fund said it was "pleased with this outcome."
"SAC continues to believe that Biovail's lawsuit and the media campaign that accompanied it were designed to distract critics from the company's own conduct," the firm said.

Oppermann represents a synergy of Anglo-Swedish design: an aesthetic inspired by Swedish minimalism and the individuality of London style. Where excellent craftsmanship and sturdy constructions meet crisp lines and geometric shapes. By drawing our influences from modernist architecture and design, we are able to strip away the clutter. All that's needed, is all that's left.
to find the best manufacturers and materials and boy, have we tracked down some treasures! By taking the time to find the most skilled people, we can offer you a truly unique product. One that will stand the test of time. We believe that every material and component has a tale to tell and we'd like to share them with you.
Just outside of Naples, Italy, each Oppermann product is handmade by a small team of masters in their craft. We cherish the slow. We care about the handmade process and so do our craftsmen. The outstanding quality and durability of our product ensures that it will live a long life with you. Make sure you create experiences that count and continue the adventure...
Each and every Oppermann piece is made from vegetable tanned leather, but only 5% of all leather worldwide is made in this way. As opposed to the chemical chrome-tanned leathers dominating the market, vegetable tanning is an ancient craft that tans the leather in wooden drums, using natural ingredients such as bark and plant extracts. It's an expensive and time-consuming method, but the result is a leather unsurpassed in its beauty, touch and durability. And as it's completely natural, it's the most environmentally friendly method there is. This time-honoured method provides distinctly unique leathers that retain natural flaws and markings, ensuring that every bag conserves its character and ages in the most graceful way.

Paul Rodriguez
Paul Rodriguez (born January 19, 1955 in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico) is a Mexican American comedian. Raised in East Los Angeles, Rodriguez served in the military where he was stationed in Iceland and Duluth, Minnesota among other places. He considered becoming a lawyer, but instead went into comedy. His first shot at national fame, the ABC sitcom a.k.a. Pablo, proved to be a flop and was cancelled after seven episodes. Many of his comedy specials involve serious issues for the Latino community, and Rodriguez is known for his charity work. He is number 74 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Standup Comics of all time. Rodriguez is a part-owner of the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, California, the site of comedian/actor Michael Richards' highly-publicized on-stage rant against two African American men who were heckling him. Of Richards' repeated use of a controversial ethnic slur, Rodriguez said, "Once the word comes out of your mouth and you don't happen to be African American, then you have a whole lot of explaining".
