The study, which was published in the Journal of Human Resources and funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), used data collected by the Department of Education during the 1998–1999 school year, three years after Congress established the current dietary requirements for school lunches. Breakfasts and lunches should contain no more than 30 percent calories from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat, and both must contain an age-appropriate number of calories, while supplying certain percentages of vital nutrients, such as calcium and protein. The data on 13,531 students included their weights in both kindergarten and the spring of third grade, and whether they ate school breakfasts, school lunches, or both.
Just over 11 percent of the children were overweight in kindergarten, and 17 percent were overweight by the time they'd reached third grade. While participation in both the breakfast and lunch programs didn't lead to any significant increase in weight, participation in the national school lunch program only was associated with a significant increase in the probability that a child would be obese by the third grade. Participation in the school breakfast program, though, actually led to a decrease in risk.
"Breakfasts seem to be doing well, but lunch, not so much," says the study's lead author, Daniel Millimet, PhD, professor of economics at Southern Methodist University. He adds that kids who participated in breakfast programs tended to be heavier to begin with, and studies have found that eating breakfast helps control calorie intake later in the day. So school breakfasts could be particularly helpful with the obesity problem. "Once you control for the fact that kids who were participating in breakfast programs were heavier to begin with, the [breakfast] program is actually helping to bring their weight down," he says.
Lunches, on the other hand, seemed to be bad all around. In part, that has to do with the fact that schools are not complying with federal guidelines, he says. "There are a couple of times where the USDA has audited schools to see if they are complying with the guidelines, and the evidence points to the fact that they aren't," he says. His study cites evidence from dietitians with the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, which oversees the national school lunch program and school breakfast programs, who found that anywhere from 10 to 35 percent of schools did not supply students with low-fat lunches. (In most cases, the breakfasts did comply.) Another part of the problem Millimet suggests has to do with a la carte items, such as ice cream sandwiches and sodas, which are exempted from federal nutrition guidelines because kids pay for them out-of-pocket. These aren't the oft-criticized candies and sodas from vending machines but extra items in the cafeteria that are simply another source of revenue for schools.
"Schools operate under a lot of constraints, and they are trying to do the best they can with what they're given," he says. "I'm sure all schools would like to have fresh vegetables that are local and organic, but that's not affordable." And unfortunately, Congress isn't helping out much. The existing legislation that provides schools with money for school breakfast and lunch programs is set to expire at the end of September, and despite First Lady Michelle Obama's highly publicized attempts to improve school lunches and get children to eat healthier, the Senate recently passed a new version of the bill that gives schools a paltry 6-cents-per-meal increase. The good news is that the bill would make unhealthy a la carte and vending machine items obsolete and would make nutritional guidelines more stringent. All this is "mildly encouraging," says Millimet. But he notes that tougher guidelines won't solve the problem if schools couldn't even comply with the existing ones.
If you want to keep your kids at a healthy weight, here are a few tips:
• Feed them breakfast. Millimet's study does show that breakfast, whether provided by schools or not, goes a long way in combating the childhood-obesity problem. And it doesn't take much time as you might think to prepare healthy breakfasts your kids will love.
• Pack their lunch. The best way to stay on top of what your kids eat for lunch is to pack it for them. If you're under time pressure, try one of these tips from our Nickel Pincher for getting your kids in on the packing action. Invest in ecofriendly lunch containers that will keep their food safe and fresh.
• Monitor the lunch (on)line. Millimet says that at his daughters' elementary school, parents can load up prepaid cards that their children use in the lunch line, and later can check a website to see what their kids purchased. Programs like this may not be widespread, he says, but finding out if your child's school has one helps you stay on top of what they're buying. If nothing else, have lunch with your child at school and see firsthand what their choices are.
• Make it a family affair. One way to counteract any bad food lessons your kids are getting at school is to involve them in the meals they eat at home. Bring them food shopping and talk to them about choosing nutritious food. Start a vegetable garden, so they can experience where food really comes from and how good fresh vegetables taste. Give them healthy snacks that they can help prepare themselves. Plan healthy cooking parties for them and their friends. And schedule family dinners, away from the television, so nutritious meals are an enjoyable experience.
• Get involved. Every little change helps, even if it's as simple as getting your child's school to sell organic apples, rather than canned applesauce. For tips on effecting positive changes in the cafeteria, visit Renegade Lunch Lady Ann Cooper's Lunch Lessons website.

I really need help !! im trying to aim for HL biology this year and its my last year in school. Does any one have any helpful tips or ideas that I can use so study becomes less confusing because reading straight from the book is torture !! and what should I be focusing on to do well in my biology tests. Help please :)
Thanks :)
Study it one topic at a time and keep testing yourself. this might be worth a read also https://www.studyclix.ie/Blog/Show/How-to-study-for-your-junior-or-leaving-cert-exams
Some people are visual learners that like doing spider diagrams etc, to help study, or theres people who prefer to say things out loud. Find which you prefer and stick to it !
More info here - http://www.learningrx.com/types-of-learning-styles-faq.htm
Also bear in mind the layout of the paper - up to now every single year has had questions on ecology, photosynthesis/respiration and genetics..so make sure you focus on these chapters and know them really well...
I'm an A1 student in Biology, I usually read over the chapters, highlighting what I find important, write out notes from what is highlighted and and as you go along, write down questions to do with the notes, once you're done studying that chapter, go and see how many questions you can answer. It's a good guide to what you still need to go over and what you already know.

Learning and teaching
Learning and Teaching:
First year students studying the three-year LLB typically have 12 hours of contact time per week. Each module normally has a two-hour lecture supplemented by a one hour weekly or fortnightly tutorial. We offer small group tutorials so it is easy for you to meet the teaching staff to discuss ideas and get support. We also have Graduate Student Advisors, these are current postgraduate students who offer support and advice either individually or to groups of undergraduates on a range of topics including academic and non-academic matters.
Independent Study:
For every hour spent in classes you will be expected to complete a further 2-3 hours of independent study (which amounts to around 28 hours spent in your personal time). Your individual study time will be spent preparing for, or following up on, formal study sessions; reading; producing written work; completing projects; and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability.
Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning needs and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life.
The LLB is mainly assessed by examination, though some of the option modules have elements of coursework. In the final year of all the law programmes, there is the option to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic in place of a taught module.
Law Library Service:
School of Law students have access to state of the art library resources and e-learning facilities.

Name: Joe McDonald
Studying: LLB Law
"When I applied, the Department of Law at Queen Mary was one of the best in London for the quality of teaching and research – since then it has only increased in quality. I also loved the idea of studying and living in London, and as the only campus-based university in the centre Queen Mary was the perfect choice.
"The campus has numerous places for socialising, whether you want a coffee, snack, meal or a pint. Even better, if you step outside campus you are venturing into one of the coolest parts of London with Hackney, Shoreditch and Brick Lane – for a curry and a cocktail – all nearby. And with the new Westfield shopping centre at Stratford even your retail therapy needs are met.
"I am on the committee for the Bar Society, which has been a great experience and allowed me to see the high-flying world of barristers in London first hand. I am also captain of the 1st XV Rugby team who have been really successful.
"One of my most memorable experiences here was going to dinner at one of the Inns of Court where we were seated with many senior barristers and judges. There were lots of very interesting traditions as part of the meal."
Adam BrownLLB
Why did you choose to study at Queen Mary?
"Queen Mary was always the obvious choice for me. Not only is the School of Law well regarded by employers but its location in London is ideal for finding potential internships.
"As a School of Law Bursary winner, I was without the constant financial worry I had initially expected and consequently, I was able to fully commit to my studies. For example, I competed in the George Hinde Moot Competition which enabled me to showcase my advocacy skills to a practicing judge at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Experiences like this are invaluable.
How did you find your academic experience at QMUL?
"Attending lectures led by academics at the forefront of their respective areas of expertise is not to be underestimated. Law demands individual hard work but it is reassuring to know that the teaching staff will be on hand to help answer questions one may have, whether that be via email or through their weekly office hours. The contact time Queen Mary professors offer to students is undoubtedly one of the School's strengths and enhances your learning experience."

Reddit is proving to be a popular hangout for wandering wedding photographers. Just a week after one redditor chanced to capture a couple's proposal, the same thing has happened again.
This time, the proposal took place in San Antonio, Tex., and the happy couple found their accidental engagement photographer on r/pics, just a few months after the fact.
In March, Penn State senior Kathryn Kotlarz flew from Happy Valley to San Antonio to visit her boyfriend, Kyle Townsend, a U.S. Navy man who was about to deploy to his command station in Jacksonville, NC. It was her spring break, and the timing had lined up perfectly. Townsend organized a trip to the Alamo on her first night.
"He was very eager for me to get dressed," Kotlarz told the Daily Dot. "He was also acting strange."
Unbeknownst to her, Townsend had a ring in his sock that was burning a hole through his ankle. A devout lover of history, he planned to propose to Kotlarz at the foot of the Alamo, and he'd hatched the perfect plan to set the scene: he'd asked a fellow tourist to take a picture of the two.
"Next thing I know, Kyle is on his knee taking a ring box out of his sock," Kotlarz said. "I was so shocked I took a step back, but once it hit me, I went and hugged him. The rest is a blur. Apparently he was so nervous that he forgot to say everything he had planned anyway."
The photographer snapped a few pictures of the scene, but he wasn't the only one. Nestled in at another angle was 56-year-old Austinite Ron Peregrim, who'd traveled to San Antonio for the day with his wife and camera.
"We had already spent most of the day on the Riverwalk, and we stopped at the Alamo around sunset," Peregrim told the Daily Dot. "I was taking some pictures of the surrounding skyscrapers with the setting sun on them, and was putting my camera away for the day when I saw the young man in dress blues getting down on one knee in front of his girl.
"By the time I got my camera ready, he had already proposed, but I got a shot of the hug afterwards with the ring in the box behind her back."
Peregrim passed up on offering the photos to the couple so that they could enjoy the moment, but, inspired by Bush's proposal photo success story last week, he decided to post the photos to Reddit in hopes of reconnecting.
"Do you know these two?" he posted to r/pics yesterday morning. "I want to send them a copy. He asked her to marry him in front of the Alamo in Texas."
It didn't take long for redditor girlinreallife to speak up and say that she knew the couple. She sent Kotlarz an email asking about it, and by 9:30 p.m. Central Time last night, the photos had arrived in Kotlarz's inbox.
"These new pictures however are from a different angle, and I like them a lot, maybe even more than the ones that were originally taken," Kotlarz said. "Although Kyle has yet to see the pictures since he's out in the desert with no Internet, I did tell him about this situation when he called last night and he's very excited about it too!"
Another week, another proposal photo sent that's found its proper home. Reddit, you're starting to get pretty good at this.

Project Description
I am responsible for launching an international product into the Australian market and I'm looking for a sales presentation that will dazzle prospective agency clients. I need someone who can work with me to storyboard, mock up and deliver a dynamic and energetic presentation that conveys how big this can be in Australia. As a launch it is confidential, so discretion will be key. I will be selecting based on previous work and recommendations so please provide examples of both.
In addition to the presentation itself, I also need 5 versions of digital creative mocked up to integrate into at least five versions of the presentation. I will also need a template of the presentation so we can adapt locally as required.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-538) Implement a nio's 'direct buffer' based wrapper over zlib to improve performance of java.util.zip.{De|In}flater as a 'custom codec'
|Wed, 27 Sep 2006 20:16:51 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-538?page=comments#action_12438210 ] Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-538: ------------------------------------- A lot of Hadoop developers might not have the right development environment to build the native libraries. For example, I use Ubuntu, and had previously manually installed gcc, make and a few other things in order to get libhdfs to compile, but to get this to compile I had to install zlib1g-dev. I have not yet tried to build this under cygwin, and don't even know what packages are required there. Do you think it would be possible to commit pre-built versions of libhadoop.so for common platforms? Minimally we could include 32-bit builds for cygwin and linux. This will complicate the process of changing these, but the alternative is to complicate the release process, since we currently don't require non-developers to have much more than a JRE. And/or we can fallback (with a warning) to using either Sun's implementation or jzlib when an appropriate libhadoop.so is not available. Then we could still decide to ship with a pre-built version (e.g., linux only, which would be easy, since releases are all built on linux) but things would still work fine out-of-the-box on other platforms and can be optimized by those who wish to install the required developer tools. A corallary to these approaches is that the generated libhadoop file name should probably include the OS and architecture names.

The Fundamentals
Suntech (NYSE:STP) defaulted on a $541 million convertible note payment due the 15th March 2013. That breached terms of the company's other outstanding loans. As a result, the creditors of Suntech's biggest subsidiary, Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd. ("Wuxi Suntech"), filed a petition of insolvency and restructuring against that particular subsidiary March 20th 2013.
You are probably wondering why the bondholders haven't filed a petition for bankruptcy of Suntech. That's because Suntech signed a forbearance agreement with more than 60% of the convertible note holders on March 11. The company stated the following in the press release announcing the forbearance agreement:
Under the forbearance agreement, in the event the Company does not make payments due under the Notes on March 15, 2013, the signing bondholders agree not to exercise their rights under the Notes and the related indenture until May 15, 2013, subject to certain market-standard early termination events.
That means that the convertible note holders can force Suntech Power Holdings into bankruptcy once the agreement ends on May 15, 2013.
On March 21st 2013 the court accepted the petition for insolvency and restructuring of Wuxi Suntech. The company wrote the following in the press release regarding the court acceptance:
The primary goal is to restructure Wuxi Suntech's debt obligations, while continuing production and operations.
That means that the creditors of Wuxi Suntech aren't interested in liquidation, but a restructuring. A restructuring usually results in creditors getting transformed into equity holders, while the old equity holders get nothing.
An interesting question is how big a proportion of Suntech Power Holdings Wuxi Suntech is. Suntech Power Holdings answered that in its November 2012 bondholder presentation. The following slide is copied from the presentation:
Note what is written under note 2:
The above chart is not a full corporate structure chart of the group. It shows all consolidated entities within the group that had outstanding bank debt and guarantees of bank debt as of August 31, 2012, (ii) their respective parent companies, and (NASDAQ:III) GSF. The above chart does not reflect intra-group payables.
The company highlighted in the bottom of the slide that "$1.4 billion of bank debt at PRC subsidiaries holding vast majority of operating assets". Wuxi Suntech is holding $1,23 billion of debt and is guaranteeing $223 million of bank loans at several subsidiaries and a Joint Venture. One can derive from that Wuxi Suntech holds the vast majority of Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. operating assets.
As Wuxi Suntech is under restructuring, and Suntech Power Holdings is probably is going to lose its equity stake in the company, one has to value the remaining subsidiaries of Suntech Power Holdings in order to determine the intrinsic value of the company.
The following is another slide copied from the November 2012 bondholder presentation:
As you can see in the chart above, Wuxi Suntech held most of the company's cash as of August 31, 2012. I have derived from my calculations that the company has negative equity. You can download the calculation, which is within this research note here.
What is left are:
- Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. , which had $42.6 million in cash as of August 31, 2012. A default notice on $541 million convertibles notes, $50 million convertible loans, $66.2 million guarantees of bank loans and financial leases at subsidiaries, €493 million loan guarantee to GSF and Downstream guarantee of domestic bank debt
- Suntech Power (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., which is based on the British Virgin Islands. The subsidiary had $0.4 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2012
- Suntech (NASDAQ:CHINA) Investment Co., Ltd., which is based in PRC. The subsidiary had $0.7 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2012
- Power Solar Systems Pty., Ltd. (Australia) has no cash and has been under liquidation since the company filed its latest 20-F filling. The following is a screenshot from page 56 from the fillings:
- Suntech Power (Cyprus) Co., Ltd. (Cyprus) has no cash, but a "direct or indirect controlling interest" in:
- "Various US Subsidiaries" which had a total of $6.3 million in cash as of August 31,2012
- "Various PRC and European Subsidiaries" which had a total of $19.5 million in cash as of August 31,2012
- Suntech Power Investment PTE., Ltd. (Singapore) has no cash, but a "direct or indirect controlling interest" in:
- Various PRC subsidiaries, which had a total of $54,9 million in cash, $158.1 million in short-term bank loans and $13 million in long-term bank loans as of August 31,2012
- Various Asian and Australian subsidiaries, which had a total of $4.5 million in cash as of August 31,2012
- Suntech Power Japan construction (Japan), which had a total of $18.5 million in cash as of August 31,2012
The companies that will be left after Wuxi Suntech will be restructured are primarily holding companies and sales companies (entities that Suntech uses to make its sales through in different jurisdictions). The remaining subsidiaries can only move their cash up to Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd after they have paid their liabilities to its creditors. The default on the $541 million convertible notes also triggered cross-defaults on the companies other outstanding loans. The company stated the following in the press release announcing the default:
Such event of default has also triggered cross-defaults under Suntech's other outstanding debt, including its loans from International Finance Corporation and Chinese domestic lenders.
As the default triggered cross-default on Wuxi Suntech's debt, one could expect that the companies PRC based subsidiaries, with loans from Chinese domestic lenders, will be forced into bankruptcy. The company's remaining PRC based subsidiaries had a total of $171 million of short-term bank debt as of August 31, 2012 and only $54.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2012.
When the forbearance agreement ends on May 15th 2013, the more than 60% of bondholders who entered into the agreement can initiate legal proceedings that will force Suntech Power Holdings into bankruptcy if the company doesn't pay them. I don't think that it's realistic to assume that the company will pay back its bondholders due to the company's financial condition. If its bondholders force the company into bankruptcy the stock will get delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and the current shareholders will lose ownership of the company's assets.
The market is valuing the company at a $110.51 million valuation as of May 12, 2013. The trade is obvious.

The division of the "Hillary for President" campaign known as the New York Times issued a lengthy white paper on Sunday, entitled "A Deadly Mix In Benghazi." This article, the paper explained, was based on "months of investigation by The New York Times, centered on extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack there . . . "
In other words, the article is centered on interviews with extremists and terrorists, whose words are taken as gospel. That they may have changed their stories, or be putting forth stories for their own benefit rather than because the new stories are true, is a subtlety beyond the Times.
The paper's second conclusion is that "contrary to claims by some members of Congress, [the attack] was fueled in large part by anger at an American-made video denigrating Islam." This would be very convenient for National Security Adviser Susan Rice and for Hillary Clinton, were it true. But even the Times' own story suggests that it is not. For one thing, the Times report says, "The attack does not appear to have been meticulously planned, but neither was it spontaneous or without warning signs." Moreover, the Times states that "surveillance of the American compound appears to have been underway at least 12 hours before the assault started." In fact the Times story begins with Mohamed al-Gharabi, the leader of the Libyan militia called the Rafallah al-Sehati Brigade, saying that he told American diplomats on September 9 that "since Benghazi isn't safe, it is better for you to leave now." "I specifically told the Americans myself that we hoped that they would leave Benghazi as soon as possible," he said, also suggesting that trouble was brewing for September 11, 2012, before the video (and the rioting it caused in Cairo) came into the picture.
This tracks with what the No. 2 guy in the U.S. embassy, Gregory Hicks, testified under oath to Congress: "The video was not instigative of anything that was going on in Libya. We saw no demonstrations related to the video anywhere in Libya." He told ABC that "the video was a non-event in Libya."
We'll never know whom the Times thought it important to interview and whom it believed, but we do know that it had no access to the intelligence that members of Congress saw. And we are being told by members of Congress that the embassy staff had it right in saying the video was unimportant, and that there were some al-Qaeda links. So the much-ballyhooed Times story, based on months of reporting, seems to come down to this: Do you believe the intelligence our agencies collected and the reporting of our diplomats on the scene at the time, or do you believe what the New York Times was told by Libyans, many of them Islamic extremists and some of them terrorists, more than a year later? The answer to that question probably depends on what position you hold in the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The IRB has announced the match official appointments for a record programme of November Tests.
The IRB has announced the match official appointments for a record programme of November Tests.
With the IRB committed to delivering an expanded competition schedule for tier two Unions in the June and November windows, the programme gives important opportunities for the next generation of international match officials to perform in the Test arena, while also maintaining the policy of appointing the top referees to the highest-level matches.
In total, 28 referees have been appointed to the November internationals. They are: Claudio Antonio (Argentina), Chris Assmus (Canada), Wayne Barnes (England), Stuart Berry (South Africa), George Clancy (Ireland), Ian Davies (Wales), JP Doyle (England), Mike Fraser (New Zealand), Jérôme Garces (France), Greg Garner (England), Pascal Gauzere (France), Leighton Hodges (Wales), Glen Jackson (New Zealand), Craig Joubert (South Africa), John Lacey (Ireland), Lourens van der Merwe (South Africa), Marius Mitrea (Italy), Joaquin Montes (Uruguay), Nigel Owens (Wales), Francisco Pastrana (Argentina), Luke Pearce (England), Jaco Peyper (South Africa), Dudley Phillips (Ireland), Romain Poite (France), Chris Pollock (New Zealand), Alain Rolland (Ireland), Juan Sylvestre (Argentina) and Steve Walsh (Australia).
The appointments have been announced following a thorough review of performances during the June international window and the recently concluded Rugby Championship by the IRB Match Official Selection Committee, which is committed to promoting consistency in officiating.
Chairman of the selection committee and IRB Council member for Scotland John Jeffrey said: "As always, we have made these selections based on performance and form.
"Every match is scrutinised by a performance reviewer and, importantly, by the referee himself. Selections are made by taking a close look at a number of key performances."
"An expanded November programme offers the selectors the opportunity to deliver more appointments for the high performance match official group.
"In considering the appointments, the committee took the view that the selection criteria should be based on a strategy of selecting the current high-level performers underpinned by a growth philosophy towards having the best match official team available for selection for RWC 2015."

With thanks to the IRB
