Bournemouth International Growth Programme
Bournemouth International Growth (BIG) programme is a major economic growth plan focused on employment and development around Bournemouth Airport.
Almost £40 million secured by Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership as part of the Dorset Growth Deal is funding a series of transport and infrastructure investments.
Governance of the BIG Programme is detailed here.
What is the BIG programme going to do?
Over the next four years the BIG programme will:
- Transform accessibility to and around Bournemouth Airport through extensive transport improvements
- Release up to 60 hectares of prime, flexible employment land for high-quality new business premises at Aviation Business Park
- Provide the single largest employment opportunity in the south east Dorset conurbation with the potential to create up to 10,000 new highly skilled jobs over the next decade
- Generate up to £500 million of GVA into the area
- Deliver around 350 new homes of which up to 50 per cent are affordable
- Deliver increased broadband capacity to Bournemouth Airport and Aviation Business Park
- Develop a new approach to improve skills and employee development, better tailoring it to the needs of key business sectors (aerospace, aviation, advanced manufacturing, digital media, marine, defence and financial services)
Why is it needed?
Bournemouth Airport is a significant economic asset to Dorset. Alongside the redevelopment of Aviation Business Park, an exciting economic growth opportunity exists for the region. Please download a copy of the BIG Programme Brochure here.
However, existing key link roads and transport networks are congested, inadequate and are acting as a barrier to growth. They are in vital need of reconstruction. In addition, poor infrastructure and lack of housing are hindering growth and need to be transformed if Bournemouth Airport and Aviation Business Park are able to reach their full economic potential.
Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership successfully secured almost £40 million to fund the BIG programme to enhance access to employment sites around Bournemouth Airport, allow more jobs to be created, support better housing and enable the improvement and sustainability of the local economy.
Who is funding the BIG programme and how much is it costing?
£45,200,000 has been allocated to fund the BIG programme. This is part of the £79 million funding secured by Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership through the Government's Local Growth Deals. Round 1 of the deal saw Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership awarded £66.4m (July 2014). This was bolstered by an additional £12.6 million awarded in January 2015.
The BIG programme forms part of Dorset LEP's Strategic Economic Vision to drive economic growth, improve housing, transport and infrastructure, and create more highly skilled jobs.
When did the BIG programme start?
The BIG programme is already tackling the issue of congested and inadequate road networks around the airport. In May 2016, the major renewal of A338 Bournemouth Spur Road, the key link road to Bournemouth Airport finished on time and budget, kick-started effective delivery of the programme. Following the successful completion of the A338, the Bournemouth International Growth Programme is examining the next stage of transport and infrastructure projects to transform access to and around Bournemouth Airport, Aviation Business Park and Wessex Fields. A number of projects are currently under consideration to see which will deliver best value and keep driver disruption and impact on business to a minimum.
What is the timeframe for the BIG programme?
The transport and infrastructure investments are due to be completed by 2019.
Who is involved in the BIG Programme?
BIG Programme is governed by the BIG Programme Steering Group, membership includes Dorset LEP Board members and officers, Cllrs and officers from the Local Authority Delivery partners Bournemouth Borough Council, Christchurch and East Dorset and Dorset County Council and Manchester Airport Group (MAG) who owns Bournemouth Aviation Park.

I've been a huge Betty Crocker fan my whole life. The Betty Crocker Cookbook was the the one cookbook in my home growing up and I loved to look through it and learn about all the delicious possibilities. As I grew older I started collecting vintage Betty Crocker cookbooks and I still refer back to them and their clear and accessible recipes for the home cook.
So, I was very interested to see the new 11th edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook: 1500 Recipes for the Way You Cook Today, with all the classic recipes mixed with new ones. This new Betty Crocker Cookbook edition has many extras that are a big help in perfecting your cooking and baking techniques. I loved the "Learn to Make" additions, which give detailed explanations for popular recipes and compare in photos more or less successful versions of a recipe, while teaching how to achieve the perfect result. Now I know why my chocolate chip cookies are always flat -- the butter was too soft and the cookie sheet too hot. Many of the recipes have been updated from the originals and are now labeled as Lower Calorie, Fast, New Twist, etc., for convenience.
I was excited to see current recipes like No-Knead Artisan Bread, which has several variations. An interesting new chapter was "Do It Yourself" where they give information on eating local, canning, making your own spice mixes and more. I'm definitely making some Chai Mix (an Indian tea with milk and spices), to have on hand. I was glad to see sections on Slow Cooker Suppers and 20 Minutes or Less meals included in Betty Crocker Cookbook. There is also lots of variety from the old stand-bys, like the eleven types of deviled eggs or eight sweet and savory spreads for bread offer.
One aspect of the Betty Crocker Cookbook that stood out to me was the frequent addition of recipes from cultures all around the world. I really appreciated having easy access to many of our family's ethnic favorites, while giving us the opportunity to try out new ones, like Cajun Chicken or Moroccan Chickpeas. There is even a full section on Vegetarian Cooking with beautiful photos and excellent information and recipes to assist in incorporating vegetarianism into your lifestyle (even if just occasionally).
Betty Crocker sure is keeping up with the times! And it's not just a cookbook, but it's more like an excellent course on gaining greater cooking skills.
This recipe book has AMAZING recipes, as I am sure everyone all ready knows. It is pretty much every girls first cookbook. I tried to buy this cookbook on Amazon.com and it mentioned that it was a ring bound edition. On Walmart site, it stated that the cookbook was in hardcover. This is false. It is ringbound as well. Ringbound recipes do not hold up well. The pages are flimsy and they always get mangled after only a few months use. I returned it, and will keep my eye out for another Betty Crocker Big Cookbook in the Hardcover format. It is usually more expensive, but a hardcover book will last much longer and is worth the money.
Growing up in the 60/70s I would always be in the kitchen with my mom helping her cook/bake. She would always pull out Betty to refer. Now today 2013 my mom(78) still has her original hardcover betty crocker book circa 1953. rubberbanded and duct taped together which my sistes are fighting over. As the youngest, I decied to get my own copy. This one is now the only cookbook in my kitchen. All the tried and true recipes are there and some new favorites from the breakfast/brunch section. I like all the pictures of the different veggies/cuts of meat etc. It is wonderful and I would have paid more than the $18 plus for this book. A must have for every cook new and old
I love Betty Crocker Cookbook! My original cookbook was lost in a move and I was lost without this book. Walmart provided quick delivery service so I didn't have too go long without the cookbook. I picked it up in the store and was treated extremely well. The cashier was very helpful and friendly.
Thank you Walmart.
My mother bought me my Betty Crocker Cookbook when I got married 31 years ago and use it all the time. Great cookbook. I'm buying one for my daughters now.
I've been using a Betty Crocker cookbook for all my married life. I bought my first Betty Crocker Picture Cook book in 1956 for my Hope Chest. When 1975 rolled around, my original book was falling apart at the spine, so I bought a new hard-bound book - which is still in excellent condition. I like that it lays flat to any chosen page!
This is a wonderful book for a beginner cook, as well as for a seasoned cook.
If I could change anything, I would I have bought a hard-bound book, like the 1975 edition for my granddaughter, as it is stronger and easier to open.
Well I can't say I was not warned by another reviewer. The cookbook does come in a binder format rather than a hardcover as the description calls for, but when you wait till the last minute to go Xmas shopping, beggars can't be choosy. The rating I gave it was based solely based on the product's poor description. There are advantages to both styles. I just like to know what I truly am getting before it arrives.
I had my Mother's old Betty Crocker cookbook. It must have been at least 75 years old, and really worn out. This new addition is really excellent. There is so much more detailed cooking information included as well. If you cook a lot, like I do, this well really help you, and you will not have to refer to other cookbooks.
Bought this for my Granddaughter who is in culinary school, thought she might like this an have fun with the recipes.
I bought this as a wedding gift, so I really didn't get to try any of the recipes or look at it, but it looked wonderful from the outside!
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. I have one that is 35 years old and it is a great cookbook with illustrations and instructions for everything.
The best cookbook ever
I bought two, one for each son who now live outside the home. I have had my Betty Crocker Cookbook from when I got married in 1975 and wouldn't part with it but after seeing their's, I have decided to purchase one for myself as well. It is more modern and up to date with new recipe's in each catagory. The price is great and I know it will last me the rest of my lifetime.
This cookbook has many great selections. It has difficult for me to read the fine print and
many of the pages stuck together where they were bound in the book. The pages were thin
and many would tear when carefully tried to separate them.
I really have not had a chance to use this cook book yet but just from glancing through it I would say it has all that I need or want in a cook book. I used the have one just like it and it got lost in the move to another state...
We are looking forward to effective use of it and it's exciting, easy to use recipes. Our last edition of this same book lasted 57 years and got so dog-eared, it was in need of this wonderful upgrade.
I learned to cook with the Orginal copy of Betty Crocker. Therefore - I am starting my granddaughter out with a copy and also my grandson got a copy. If you can read you always succeed.
Once I found out where I was supposed to pick up my on line order, everything was great. good customer service.
Great vauel for the price and wonderful recipes and great pictures all kinds of information...I love it.

Friends, Romans,Countrymen, lend me your ear. Well both ears actually as we take a look, and a listen to the Silverstone EB01 USB digital to analog converter.
So let's see what's under the hood.
So did you notice how easy it would be to change the color of the indicator LEDs? Unplug the blue and plug in whatever color you want. It also has a small footprint so it can be tucked into tight spots.
If you are really into music then this may be the solution for you. It sells on New Egg for around $90.00 USD but compared to the cost of a 200 disc CD player it's a less expensive way to achieve high quality sound and the ability, by using a large capacity hard drive, to access way more than 200 CDs. Like I said before the sound quality was excellent. If you don't really care about sound quality then you probably wouldn't spend the money. It would make an excellent addition to a HTPC set up as well.
For what it does and the quality of construction I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. I read some reviews that seemed confused as to this products purpose. It was obvious to me and one other audiophile form the first moment we heard music through it. I also read about volume issues. At first I couldn't get sufficient volume out of it un till it was pointed out that I should adjust the volume in Windows. Once done I could have shredded my speakers.

"Catching Fire" has found its Enobaria. Lionsgate announced that Meta Golding will play the former tribute from District 2.
TV fans will recognize Golding from her recurring roles on shows like "CSI," "Criminal Minds" and "House."
Golding's "Hunger Games" character Enobaria is known for the brutal way in which she won the 62nd Hunger Games — she ripped open another tribute's throat with her teeth and then later had her teeth altered to look like fangs.
Sounds like a role Golding can really sink her teeth into (ba-dum ching).

Village Economies by J. Edward Taylor
Book DescriptionMost of the world's population and the vast majority of the world's poor live and work in villages. Their activities are usually centred in households, but interactions among households shape the impacts of policy, market and environmental changes on rural production, incomes, employment and migration. This book presents a generation of villagewide economic modelling designed to capture these interactions when assessing the impacts of policy, market and environmental changes on rural economies in less developed countries. The authors present a general framework for modelling village economies based on computable general-equilibrium techniques, estimate models for villages and a village-town in five different countries, and use these models to conduct a series of comparative experiments. The findings offer explanations for some paradoxical outcomes of exogenous shocks as their influence winds its way through rural economies, and they underline the importance of adopting a local economy-wide perspective when designing development policies.

New Super Mario Bros. 2
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a typical Mario platformer game. Mario engages in a bit of mild violence -- hopping on enemies to flatten them, shooting fireballs -- but it's directed toward cartoonish, mindless, decidedly non-human enemies. Like other recent Mario games, this one supports co-operative play and makes for a fine social gaming experience (note: both players need a 3DS and a game cartridge). This game supports the 3DS StreetPass wireless communication feature, but personal information is not exchanged. Parents need to remember that Nintendo is warning parents not to allow kids age six and under to view the graphics in 3D because that viewing "may cause vision damage." The Nintendo 3DS offers parents the ability to lock out the use of 3D graphics in the system's Parental Controls.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 is all about the money. Players will collect tens of thousands of the series' iconic coins as they work their way through Mario's latest side-scrolling platforming adventure. It bears most of the hallmarks of previous outings, including a princess kidnapped for reasons unknown, dozens of short levels ending with a jump to the top of a flag pole, and loads of hidden items, including 1-up mushrooms and green vines into the clouds. But its Midas touch is what makes this game stands apart from its precursors. Metallic cash can be found spurting from pipes, floating in air bubbles, springing from a brick helmet as Mario moves at high speeds. This cascade of coinage multiplies Mario's lives at an almost disconcerting rate. Skilled players can expect to finish the game with hundreds of extra lives. Co-op sees pairs of players -- each with their own 3DS and game card -- chasing after this golden bonanza together, and StreetPass mode lets players compare their best hauls over three random levels with other kids.
Is it any good?
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is, as the world has come to expect from games starring everyone's favorite plumber, a wonderfully entertaining play. The controls are satisfyingly tight and the thrill of finding hidden areas and power-ups remains as compelling as ever. What's more, the new objective of collecting and adding to a running tally of tens of thousands of coins scratches an itch that Nintendo has been nurturing among its fans since they smashed the first coin brick in the original Super Mario Bros. more than a quarter century ago.
But it doesn't really move the franchise forward. Aside from the constant gold rush, this game feels very much like past Mario adventures. What's more, there is evidence of a bit of sloppy level design, apparent in some hazards that are unfairly hidden from view until it's too late. These problems come up only a handful of times throughout the game, but are all the more notable because we've so rarely seen such issues in past Mario games. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is among the very best and most easily recommendable games available for the 3DS, but it falls short of matching the excellence of its modern predecessors.

Families can talk about playing games with friends and family. What are some of the advantages associated with shared interactive experiences? Can you think of any detriments? Do you prefer to play alone or with friends?
What do you think about Mario having to rescue Princess Peach? Is that stereotyping gender roles?

Thank you to those who turned out for my first Town Hall meeting this week. It was great to see so many familiar faces and many more new ones. I am honored to be the dean of our school with so many talented contributors – I know we have the ability to collectively overcome any challenge. You may be asked to serve on special committees to work on solutions as we grow this culture of excellence – but even if you are not, please be assured your feedback and input is always valued.
One issue that I have been working on this week is clinical billing. The UT and McKesson (the company contracted to do our clinical billing) leadership met to discuss the challenges of clinical billing with UT Physicians. I will reiterate what I said in the Town Hall meeting – we cannot hold our faculty liable for what they did not train for – billing and collections. It is the administration's responsibility to address this type of issue, and we are taking this quite seriously for the performance of the practice plan. An ad hoc team of Medical School, led by Andrew Casas, and McKesson employees has been created to identify departments most in need of billing help. These qualified individuals will not leave a department until the issue is resolved – then they will move on to the next department.
I also had a meeting with the chairs of the basic science departments this week, and the issue of teaching relative value units (RVUs) was again discussed. A committee is working on a solution on how these RVUs will be compensated, but regardless of the solution, we cannot let the RVU system disrupt our teaching program. Instead, we must find a way to strengthen our educational programs as we fairly distribute RVUs among our departments and faculty.
At the Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital this week, I found a great group of people committed to outstanding teaching programs and high standards of patient care. What a great team we have there!
And at our other primary teaching hospital, Craig Cordola, the CEO of Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, has achieved the highest rankings in the country in terms of important core measures such as mortality and length of stay. Our Children's Hospital is consistently among the top 15 children's hospitals in the country as a result of the partnership with our faculty.
You know the saying, "it takes money to make money." Well, we will be investing in the Medical School's Office of Development, restructuring it so that it can be most effective when it comes to future fund-raising initiatives for the Medical School. I will keep you posted on its structure.
Speaking of money, now is the time to prepare to give to the State Employee Charitable Campaign, which kicked off yesterday for the Medical School in the Leather Lounge. Our goal is a 25 percent participation rate, with a total of $90,000. Please join me in giving to the SECC, and we will let the community know that the Medical School cares.
It finally is feeling like fall in Houston – enjoy it!

Fuel on the Fire
When it comes to disaster preparedness, sometimes you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. Just ask the folks in storm-wary south ...
When it comes to disaster preparedness, sometimes you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. Just ask the folks in storm-wary south Florida, where people dutifully heeded the CNN/MSNBC/Fox hype around Tropical Sneeze Ernesto by stocking up on gasoline for their cars and backup generators.
As my friend who lives in Palm Beach County put it to me in an email on Monday:
If I don't get gas tomorrow, I won't be able to drive much longer. People are freaking out everywhere here like armageddon or something. No gas now, it's ridiculous! People are freakin' nuts, I tell ya!
Now that Ernesto has come and gone, it's the local fire departments that are freaking out. That's because they're concerned about all those red cans of gasoline in peoples' garages. Imagine the kaboom if a house fire breaks out. Authorities are now suggesting that people use up their fuel stocks--at least until the next storm comes around.

When it come to trends in axles and suspensions, it's all about efficiency. Fleets are constantly looking for ways to become more operationally efficient, whether it's fuel economy, increased payload, lower maintenance costs, longer equipment life, or driver productivity.

- Post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1 values ≥ 30% and < 80% of predicted value. FEV1 was measured at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) 10 to 15 minutes after inhalation of albuterol/salbutamol. Predicted normal used for calculation purposes were based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III predicted values (Hankinson et al, 1999)
- Able to perform acceptable and repeatable pulmonary function testing for FEV1 according to ATS/ERS criteria (Miller et al, 2005) at Screening Visit (Visit 1) and throughout their participation in the trial
- Negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test at Visit 1 and must have been using hormonal contraceptives or a barrier method plus a spermicidal agent; otherwise at least 1-year postmenopausal or surgically sterile, defined as having a hysterectomy or tubal ligation (applied to female patients only)
- Judged by the Principal Investigator to be in otherwise good stable health based on medical history, physical examination, ECGs, and routine laboratory data evaluations
- Patients previously randomized in an aclidinium monotherapy trial were permitted as long as it had been at least 6 months since the completion of their previous trial participation

Exclusion Criteria:
- Hospitalization for an acute COPD exacerbation within 3 months before Visit 1
- Any respiratory tract infection (including the upper respiratory tract) or COPD exacerbation in the 6 weeks before Visit 1. Patients who developed a respiratory tract infection or COPD exacerbation during the washout or run-in period were discontinued from the study before randomization
- Any clinically significant respiratory conditions other than COPD, including active tuberculosis, history of interstitial lung disease, pulmonary thromboembolic disease, history of α1-antitrypsin deficiency, pulmonary resection, lung volume surgery, or any other thoracic surgery during the past 12 months, history of bronchiectasis secondary to respiratory diseases other than COPD (eg, cystic fibrosis, Kartagener syndrome), post organ transplantation, or expected to require thoracotomy or other lung surgery during the study
- Clinical history suggesting that the patient had asthma as opposed to COPD (Study Physician was to be contacted to discuss eligibility, if necessary)
- Chronic use of oxygen therapy ≥ 15 hours/day
- Body mass index(BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2
- Patients who intended to start a pulmonary rehabilitation program during the trial were excluded, as well as those who finished or started it within 3 months prior to Screening Visit
- Clinically significant cardiovascular conditions including: myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months; newly diagnosed arrhythmia within the previous 3 months; unstable angina; unstable arrhythmia that had required changes in pharmacological therapy or other intervention within the previous 6 months; the presence of an automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; history of thoracic surgery within the past year before screening; hospitalization within the previous 12 months for heart failure of New York Heart Association functional class III (marked limitation of physical activity and only comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea), or class IV (unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort) (Criteria Committee of the New York Heart Association criteria, 1994)
- Any uncontrolled infection that may have placed the patient at risk resulting from human immunodeficiency virus, active hepatitis and/or patients with diagnosed active tuberculosis
- QTcB > 470 msec in the resting ECGs performed at Screening (Visit 1), as indicated in the centralized ECG vendor generated report. Patients who were on a stable dose of medication that may prolong the QTc, but had a documented, stable, and normal QTc, could have been considered
- QTcB > 470 msec in the resting ECGs performed before randomization at Visit 2, as indicated in the paper tracing generated by the Sponsor-provided ECG equipment
- Clinically relevant abnormalities in the results of the clinical laboratory tests, in ECG parameters other than QTc, or in the physical examination or vital signs at Visit 1 except for those related to COPD
- History of drug or alcohol abuse within the previous 5 years
- Any other serious or uncontrolled physical or mental condition/disease that, as judged by the Investigator, could have placed the patient at higher risk derived from his/her participation in the study, could have confounded the results of the study, or would be likely to have prevented the patient from complying with the requirements of the study or completing the study. If there was a history of such disease, but the condition had been stable for more than 1 year and was judged by the Investigator not to interfere with the patient's participation in the study, the patient may have been included, with the documented approval of the Study Physician
- History of hypersensitivity reaction to inhaled anticholinergics, beta-2 agonists, sympathomimetic amines, or inhaled medication or any component thereof (including report of paradoxical bronchospasm) or a history of acute urinary retention, symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder neck obstruction, or narrow-angle glaucoma.

- Previous participation in a clinical trial with aclidinium bromide in an FDC therapy
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Current diagnosis of cancer (present in the patient) other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer. Patients who had a history of cancer must have been cleared before Visit 1 (Screening) on a case-by-case basis
- Patients who did not maintain regular day/night, waking/sleeping cycles (eg, night shift workers)
- Patients who intended to use any concomitant medication not permitted by this protocol or who had not undergone the required washout period for a particular prohibited medication (Appendix III of the protocol, which can be found in Appendix 16.1.1 of this report)
- Patients who were unlikely to be compliant with study requirements (eg, take their medication, complete their electronic diaries, attend clinic at the required times)
- Patients who were employees or relatives of employees of the investigative study center, FRI, Almirall, SA, or Pharmaceutical Product Development (PPD, Inc.)
- Patients who had any other conditions that, in the Investigator's opinion, might have indicated the patient to be unsuitable for the study or supported excluding the patient from the study

More Than 57,000 Alaskans Support a Ballot Measure to Once Again Halt the Same-Day Airborne Shooting of Wolves and Bears
Oct 24, 2006, 01:00 ET from Alaskans for Wildlife
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Alaskans for Wildlife (AFW), a statewide group of sportsmen, scientists and recreationists submitted more than 57,000 signatures of Alaskans from across the state to place a measure on the ballot in 2008 to ban same-day airborne shooting of wolves and bears. The number is far in excess of the 31,451 required and represents nearly 20 percent of the number of voters that participated in the last general election. "With the help of our signature gatherers across the state, including many volunteers, we were able to gather in excess of 57,000 signatures and easily surpassed the minimum requirement of 31,451," stated Joel Bennett, president of Alaskans for Wildlife (AFW). "We are confident that our efforts will pay off. This ballot initiative will allow Alaskans to once again stop private hunters from using aircraft to shoot wolves across large areas of the state in the absence of a biological emergency or sound scientific data." In addition to far surpassing the minimum number of signatures needed AFW met the second requirement of securing a sufficient number of signatures from at least 30 of 40 state house districts. AFW's own count tallies more than the minimum number of signatures from at least 34 districts. By meeting the signature requirements AFW has succeeded in placing the issue of same-day airborne shooting on a statewide ballot for a third time. The proposed ballot measure is essentially the same as the 1996 and 2000 ballot measures, each of which was approved by Alaskan voters but overturned by the legislature. As with the two previous ballot measures, this one will also not affect legal ground-based hunting of wolves and bears statewide by sport hunters, trappers and subsistence users. It also includes a provision allowing the use of aircraft by Department of Fish and Game personnel to control predators in cases of biological emergencies. "From our personal experiences over the last few months, voters across the state made it clear that they want another chance to ban the same-day airborne shooting of wolves and bears, and we're committed to making sure their voices are heard yet again," declared Bennett. "From Anchorage to Juneau to the bush, the message we heard was the same: 'Stop same-day airborne wolf shooting.' That's exactly what our measured ballot initiative will do." "We also wish to thank our colleague organizations, Alaska Wildlife Alliance and Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund for their continued support of our efforts," stated measure co-sponsor Nick Jans. These two groups provided advice and logistical support, allowing us to focus on the task at hand -- collecting enough signatures to qualify for inclusion on the 2008 ballot." "Remember, these are Alaskans signing this petition. As in the past two initiatives, we received substantial support, not just in urban areas, but in the bush as well, including many Native communities where subsistence is a way of life. The people of Alaska have said it twice before and we're saying it again: Stop the same-day airborne shooting of wolves and bears. We don't support it, we don't believe in it, and we don't want it," said Nick Jans. For more information visit http://www.alaskansforwildlife.org

Judicial Decision Making in Child Sexual Abuse CasesBy: Margaret M. Wright (author)Paperback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionIn the 1980s, Canada witnessed a public outcry over child sexual abuse cases. Elected officials sought a remedy through legal reforms. Amendments were made to the Criminal Code of Canada and sexual assault was redefined. The word "rape" was replaced with a continuum of categories intended to reflect the full range of sexually intrusive behaviours. Margaret Wright examines how the courts have dealt with child sexual abuse cases since then. She demonstrates that although the laws may have changed, their interpretation still depends on the social construction of children and on judges' own understanding of what constitutes child sexual abuse.

My son was in a legal quandry as the result of several petty offenses that collectively added up to serious charges. Steve negotiated a very favorable plea deal that kept him out of state prison. He also communicated with me regularly to keep me advised of the status of the case (with son's permission of course) as I live a long way from Florida. He did everything that he said he would do in a timely manner. I would recommend Steve unequivocally and without any hesitation whatsoever.

Esq. S Sessa was able to untangle prolonged complicated legal issues within a short period of time. He is very personable yet his knowledge of his profession is most impressive. I am most grateful that he was able to represent me. The outcome was complete and positive.
Posted by John
During our trial case duration (almost 1 year), Steven always kept me informed, he never gave me false expectations, he prepared every detail of our defense paperwork. I told him when we met that this was my first time going through this type of cases and that I was going to put my trust on him.
"Best decision I have made in a long time"

I recently fired my last lawyer and hired Steven as my new appointed council. I had a friend that recommended him when I was in need of a good attorney at the last minute. Not only is Steven Attentive, he will fight for your rights. I will be using him in the future again, and I will also recommend him to any of my friends that needs legal advice.

On a Saturday afternoon my wife and I were with our 5 year old daughter in our home. She's a tiny kid, just about 35 pounds, and a very kind, selfless soul. I was sitting on the master bed, my wife was laying on top of the covers, and our daughter was playing on the floor. As she often does, she started jumping on my back (horsey ride!) as soon as I sat down. I told her a few times that to stop; i was busy speaking with her mm, and it wasn't time for this. Finally I relented, got on all fours, and gave her a ride around the carpeted room. Then I picked her up, and tossed her onto the bedspead with her mom.
This was my signal to her that playtime was over. She ignored it. I then held her down on the bed. This was not punishment, it was play. We were all three laughing. But clearly it hurt her feelings. She pouted for about 5 seconds, then it was over.
The next day, my daughter said to her teacher that I had hurt her. She didn't complain about any specific area that hurt, even when asked where, but they are mandated to call DCF and I understand the law.
DCF showed up the next day at the school as my wife was picking her up. They took my daughter into a room and wouldn't let my wife speak with her. We immediately called Steven Sessa, because he is the best attorney we know in this area. DCF refused to take more than 30 of his calls. They interrogated my daughter without representation, then interrogated my wife. I told them to get lost, because they refused to allow me to bring a lawyer to an interview with them.
DCF made it clear they were there to "get me for something"-that is the words they used. They yelled at me in front of my home in an exclusive community that I was "being investigated for sexual abuse" RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HORRIFIED NEIGHBORS!!!
DCF then told me that if I didn't vacate my own home and refuse to see my daughter, they would seize her. By this time, they had interviewed her, and anyone with a brain could tell that it was a frivolous case and we are not child abusers, and there had been no child abuse, just a child who didn't like being told to stop clowning around for a moment.
Stevn stopped work on all his cases (or so it appeared to me) and called DCF and me all day, every day until this was resolved. In the end, DCF had no choice but to relent, and get out of our lives. What is amazing is that even after they knew their was no case, they wanted to make one anyway, and the result would have been to destroy my family.
I am not sure if Mr Sessa would have been so passionate if I had been obviously guilty. I can tell you this, though; This guy cares about clients. He's the first lawyer I have ever met that I felt good about the VALUE of the retainer. He's not the most expensive, nor the least...but frankly, who cares? This lawyer gets involved, and gets the results you NEED, when everything is on the line.
I could be without parental rights right now for nothing more than disciplining my daughter (who hears "no" all too few times). Instead, i spent this weekend with her at a waterpark. And our lives are moving forward.

On March 31st 2014, I got arrested and was charge with Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon and Firing a a firearm within a moving vehicle. At that time my family and I were in dire need of a good but affordable attorney; and Steven Sessa was whom my family and I chose to represent our legal matters. Steve tells you exactly how it is and what you should and need to know. No sugarcoating. Once hired, he proceeded to work on the case as soon ASAP and always trying his best get the case to drop. He truly cares about his clients. The first deal the state offered me was a 3 years prison or we could go to trial, but if we lose face 20 years in prision, we rejected the plea. After many motions, depositions of the witness, victim, and the arresting officer to prove to the state that they can't prove their charges the state still refused to drop the case and didn't want to corporate with us with a lesser deal or a case dismissal. Steve kept working as hard as he could do resolve the case which would be in our favor. Many motions were filed just so that the state would be able to prove the charges and they couldn't. Steve would always show up to court with me and ready to fight and represent for me. A year and a few months after rejecting many plea deals in order to solve the case, Steve was able to get the state to only charge me with "Discharging a firearm in public" which is a 1st degree misdemeanor. The reason he couldn't get the whole case to drop was due to my confession to the police officers I made during my arrest which I confessed that I did discharge the weapon but there was never any act of aggravated assault occurred nor any crimes being committed, but the state believed otherwise. Also, Steve was willing to work with me and my family in regards to payment and not once stopped working on the case because he didn't get paid. Even when we owed him, he continued to defend my case. Steve really knows his stuff and very knowledgeable in what he does. Finally, I was charge with a misdemeanor and not felonies. I didn't have to do any probation, prison, jail time or pay a fine. I just had to pay standard court cost. So, On April 24th of 2015 I walked out the court house and everything was over with. As a result, my family and I shall forever thank Steve and his team for helping me get through this without any jail, prison or probation. I certainly will never forget what he has done for me and i my family. I would recommend Steve to anyone or family members and friends of mine.

Mr. Sessa recently represented me in a case that could have ruined my career and life. His knowledge of the legal system and communication with all parties involved, especially with the court system is to be commended! He was honest with me through out this tremendously stressful situation! he understood my anxiety and found ways to "handle" me on those most stressful days! I would highly recommend Mr. Sessa to anyone seeking professional, sound legal advice. He was able to resolve my situation successfully. Thank you Mr. Sessa, you are a blessing to all. C.S

I first met Steven Sessa after being released on bond for an arrest on charges called "Domestic battery with Strangulation" In short, I was accused of putting my hands around my wife's throat during an argument. She was not actually strangled, or even hurt, but that's irrelevant. This is a much more serious charge than "Domestic Violence" which can be as little as touching someone's arm or hand.
Without going into the specifics of what happened, I'll tell you that I was horrified about the whole matter. My daughter was just 1 year old at the time, and I was told right away that I wouldn't be able to see her for a long time. This didn't seem fair, because she was not present when this occurred. There was talk of jail time for the offense. The court then offered 2 years of probation (I had no criminal record) along with an order that I would only be able to see my daughter in the presence of whoever the court deemed appropriate, be drug tested, etc.
My wife and I wanted to seek counseling, and work this out as a family. She and I knew the truth about what had occurred. We knew we had a problem. But we agreed that the state prosecutor and the court system did not seem to have our interests, and most importantly the best interests of our child, at heart.
Steven got extremely involved. We had long conversations in his offices that I know I was never billed for on time basis. He cared. He actually listened to me. He understood how I felt as an accused felon, as a father. I refused to take the plea agreements offered by the prosecutor. He advised me on what was possible, and did everything he could to keep me out of jail, and worked toward the ending that would reunite my family.
In time, the entire case was dismissed. Now, my daughter is five years old, and my wife and I are happy. nobody uses violence in our family. We do argue. After all, it's been almost 30 years! But we handle it as a family.
When I look into my daughters beautiful eyes, I give thanks for all the blessings that have made our lives together possible. Steven knows I'm a devoted father; we keep in touch. And it is my hope that after reading this you understand that Mr Sessa is a guy you want on your side.

In early 2012, my wife was driving Eastbound on Donald Ross Rd in Palm Beach Gardens and was involved in a serious car accident. The police report said that she had run a red light in my SUV, and struck a sedan with two people inside. Both were injured, and the passenger was seriously injured, though later recovered. Witnesses at the scene initially said that my wife had a green light, then upon speaking with police, said they were not sure. My wife maintains to this day that the light was green for her.
There were no mitigating factors in the accident. No alcohol, distractions such as cell phone use, and it was a perfectly bright sunny day. And my wife was driving below the speed limit. The driver and passenger in the other car (that my wife said actually did run the red light) were 90 and 88 years old, respectively. This was a tragic accident, regardless of who was to blame. However, the police investigators wanted to charge my wife with a serious crime, because of the age of the people in the sedan. The police were abrasive to her and to I. And they impounded our vehicle, telling us they would keep it for up to a year and a half, citing that "elderly people can often die of complications from an accident more than a year later", and they would want to keep the vehicle as evidence in order to charge her with Vehicular Homicide at a later date. And the police demanded that they interview my wife immediately and without representation.
We couldn't believe what we were hearing. This seemed like she was being treated like a deliberate and calculating criminal, not someone accused of causing a car accident without any contributing factors whatsoever.
I called Steven Sessa the next day. The officer who impounded the vehicle (and told me he was keeping it for up to a year and a half) and was extremely rude to us at first actually called me just hours later and apologized, then instructed me to pick up the car at my convenience. If he hadn't, we would not have been able to make an insurance claim, and would not have been able to get another car (it was a total loss), and indeed would have ended up with ruined credit as well.
The case was finished in court. My wife was never charged with a serious crime, only traffic infractions. Steven turned the focus of the case from a serious felony charge that could have resulted in my wife going to prison, into a traffic case. We paid a fine.
Fact is, we were way more concerned with the other drivers health to care about a fine. Our feeling was that it mattered less who ran the light, given nobody was deliberately negligent, and more that everyone survived.
The security of knowing that you have a lawyer that will correct a wrong done to you, immediately, is irreplaceable. This incident showed us that anyone can become an accused criminal. And thank God that we knew someone like Steven to set things right.

Is there an optimal structure for decentralized provision of roads?
The authors empirically investigate how decentralization affects the efficiency of road provision from the viewpoint of the local goods provider and the road user. The theoretical model: a double cost hidden level effort. They include both user and provider concerns in determining the optimal decentralization level. They find that 100 percent maintenance decentralization produces the most efficiency gains, as quality roads are provided at lower unit costs. There is little justification for central government to be involved in road maintenance. Uniform standards combined with decentralized maintenance remove the incentive to reduce costs and erode most local maintenance efficiency gains. Maintenance is a local activity and should reflect user preferences. Central governments should regulate safety and other network externalities by having a stake in road administration financing, planning, policy setting, safety regulation and other network externalities. Central governments should finance no more than 10 percent of administrative costs. Construction depends on the country. Ensure that contracting procedures are efficient before suggesting decentralization. It is easier for local governments to incorporate user preferences in spending decisions. Similarly, determining where to make investments, deciding how to procure works, and monitoring the quality of construction and maintenance is often done more efficiently locally. The results point to the benefits of decentralized provisions of roads, but many countries contract out maintenance and provision. In that case, it may not matter whether local competitive bidding is carried out by a central or local agency.

Microsoft Planning New Cloud Development Platform
The software maker is also thinking about a product like Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud.LOS ANGELES-Microsoft executives are spending a lot of time thinking about cloud computing these days, including planning a Windows Server .Net cloud development platform on which people will be able to build and deploy applications, according to CEO Steve Ballmer. The software maker is also thinking about a product like Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud, or EC2, a Web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud and that is designed to make Web-scale computing easier for developers, Bob Muglia, Microsoft's senior vice president for server and tools, told eWEEK in a separate interview Feb. 27 at the launch event here for Windows Server 2008.
The cloud platform will form part of the company's Windows Live and nascent software plus services push, which is being spearheaded by Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie.
