Administrative assistants go by a number of other job titles. They have similar duties, but those duties vary from organization to organization. These duties involve clerical and reception tasks, and they are often more complex than those of receptionist or file clerk.
One of the most used alternative job titles for administrative assistant is secretary. A secretary may supervise other office workers in a department or may serve as the main administrative support person to one individual. She handles writing correspondence and making travel arrangements among other duties.
Administrative Support
A more general category an administrative assistant fits into is that of administrative support. Administrative support personnel perform a wide range of clerical tasks. They may have reception and filing duties like lower-level office clerks, or they may have higher-level duties, such as performing bookkeeping and arranging conference calls. They may also have a combination of all of these types of tasks.
Executive Secretary
Executive secretaries are generally considered the highest level of administrative support personnel, people who provide exclusive assistance to one or just a few top-level officials in a company. They work primarily doing information management, preparing reports for distribution and other related tasks. Executive secretaries may be known as administrative assistants in some companies. In smaller companies, administrative assistants may serve the company's president or owner as well as be the company's general office manager.
Office Manager
Office manager is a title given to the administrative support person who handles much of the organization's daily office tasks, including bookkeeping and ordering supplies. This individual may help resolve problems with vendors and customers, and is usually the go-to person in the company when dealing with clients. The public turns to office managers to help them answer billing and general product questions as well. Office managers know a little about all of the departments in the company and may serve all of them. They establish recordkeeping procedures, ensure data security, hire and terminate office personnel and supervise junior office employees as well.

From staff and wire reports
more warnings.
Umpires say baseball officials have told
them to eject pitchers who throw deliberately at hitters' heads.

charge of discipline. "We just wanted to reinforce it and make it clear they would
have our backing if they took that action."
John Hirschbeck,
head of the umpires union, said that under the new interpretation the Yankees'
Roger Clemens would have been ejected for nearly hitting Seattle's Alex Rodriguez
in the first inning of Game 4 of last year's AL Championship Series.
a pitcher throws at any part of a batter's body other than the head, the umpire
can either eject the pitcher or warn both teams that the next pitch thrown at
a hitter's body will result in an ejection.
"There would
be no choice in that situation because it was at the head," said Hirschbeck, the
crew chief in that game. "I run Clemens in the first inning of a playoff game,
there goes my career because I've been in this game long enough to know."
rule has always given the umpire, once he determines intent, the ability to either
warn or eject," said Ralph Nelson, baseball vice president in charge of umpires.
"What we're saying is that if it's up around the head, you can pretty much determine
that's intent, and that in so doing, as the rulebook spells out, you can bypass
the warning."
Hirschbeck took it differently.
is a whole new thing to me. They want to change the way the game is played," he
said. "I can appreciate that. They are my bosses. I've not been asked whether
I agree, so I won't offer my opinion."
In the view of
Yankees manager Joe Torre, baseball's new directive to umpires is a brushback
aimed at Clemens.
"I think there's a chance he's going
to be bothered by it," Torre said. "This is all overshadowing his ability to pitch
and be successful like he's been."
Clemens and other
hard throwers rely on intimidation. Baseball officials say they will back umpires
who eject pitchers they feel are throwing at batters' heads, even if they toss
them before giving a warning.
"It could take away from
Roger's ability or any other pitcher, (such as) Pedro (Martinez)," Torre said.
"Those are two guys that come to mind. To me, you're taking away a weapon
I'm not saying head-hunting I'm saying the ability to pitch inside. It's
really tough to take that pitch away."
Clemens downplayed
the potential impact.
"I'm not concerned about it at
all," he said. "I think you would be hard-pressed to find a pitcher winding up
to throw at a batter's head. As far as pitching inside and being aggressive, it
won't change any pitcher that wants to survive. You have to pitch inside."
said the distinction must be made between a purpose pitch and a beanball.

Torre said. "It's important for an umpire to have an understanding of the difference

1865 – 2015: 150 years of the Macmillan Alice
1865 – present:
Macmillan has been taking readers
to Wonderland since 1865
A word from Philip Pullman
It's sometimes said that Lewis Carroll's Alice books were the origin of all later children's literature, and I'm inclined to agree. There were books for children before 1865, but they were almost all written to make a moral point. Good children behave like this; bad children behave like that, and are punished for it, and serve them right. In Alice, for the first time, we find a realistic child taking part in a story whose intention was entirely fun. Both children and adults loved them at once, and have never stopped doing so. They are as fresh and clever and funny today as they were a hundred and fifty years ago.
This is an excerpt from Philip Pullman's foreword to The Complete Alice by Lewis Carroll.
The beginnning
A timeless children's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is over 150 years old and the story of this beguiling tale begins with its creator, Charles Ludwidge Dodgson. Charles was a natural storyteller who regularly invented new stories to entertain his friends. He knew that for the best stories to work, the child must be at the centre of the narrative so that their imagination could be led to marvellous and wonderful places.
Inspired by real events and a real child, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was dreamt up on a summer's day in Oxford. The river outing with the Liddell family on 4 July 1862, from Folly Bridge to Godstow, is now famous for the Alice story to which it led. Charles L. Dodgson traveled downriver with the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford (the college at which Charles was a lecturer in Mathematics), and his family. Along the way he told the family a story about a bored little girl called Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The family loved it and at the end of that day, the daughter, Alice Liddell, asked for the story to be written down. Charles Dodgson agreed and began writing the manuscript the next day. It eventually took him two and a half years to complete.
Charles L. Dodgson first met the publisher Alexander Macmillan on 19 October 1863. Macmillan loved Alice and agreed to publish it under Dodgson's pen name, Lewis Carroll. This was to be the beginning of a long and very successful publishing relationship between the two men, although one that was not without difficulties: Lewis Carroll was a most particular author.
At the time, the arrangements were that Lewis Carroll paid for the printing. This meant he was entitled to call the tune. He sent instructions to the printers that they should let the pages dry for long enough before binding.
In the earliest known letter between Carroll and Macmillan that has survived, dated 11 November 1864, Carroll asks that his book be covered in "bright red" rather than the usual Macmillan "green" used for the cover of The Water Babies. Macmillan sent a copy of an earlier children's poetry book, The Children's Garland edited by Coventry Patmore (1862), as it was covered in "a red cloth such as I fancy you want".
After a couple of alternative titles for Carroll's story were rejected - Alice Among the Fairies and Alice's Golden Hour - the book was published by Macmillan in 1865 as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The entire print run sold out quickly. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike. Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde. The book has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 176 languages.
How did Charles L. Dodgson become Lewis Carroll?
The pen name Lewis Carroll is closely related to Charles L. Dodgson's real name. Lewis was the anglicised form of Ludovicus, the Latin for Lutwidge (Dodgson's middle name). Carroll is an Irish surname similar to the Latin name Carolus, from which comes the name Charles. So 'Charles Lutwidge' translated into Latin as 'Carolus Ludovicus', and when translated back into English, it became 'Carroll Lewis'. Finally, this name was reversed to make 'Lewis Carroll'.
The magic of John Tenniel
It's not only Lewis Carroll's words that captured readers' imaginations; John Tenniel's illustrations brought the story to life and remain in our collective consciousness to this day.
At the time, John Tenniel was already well-known as a lead cartoonist for the political magazine Punch. Carroll had also admired his depictions of animals in an edition of Aesop's Fables so he approached him to illustrate Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Tenniel agreed.
Printing Tenniel's images required careful preparation. First, his drawings that had been done on paper had to be carved into woodblocks by engravers. The carvers chosen were the Brothers Dalziel, who were among the most skilled engravers of the Victorian age. Their woodblock engravings were then used as masters for making the electrotype copies; since metal is more robust than wood, these were made of metal for the actual printing of the books. The image below is of an early electrotype from the Macmillan archive and was used to print Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The original woodblocks are now held by the British Library.
Tenniel's artwork gave us the original image of Alice. When his eyesight began to fail, he gave approval to Macmillan for Harry G. Theaker to complete sixteen colour plates for the 1911 one volume edition of the book. Today, when most people think of Alice with her blue dress, blonde hair and Alice band, it's Tenniel's illustrations and Harry G. Theaker's colouring that they're remembering.
Over the years, other illustrators worked with Macmillan to create new imagery for the much-loved classic. Many of the electrotypes for printing the images remain in the Macmillan archive; because of this exclusive access to the original artwork, the Macmillan edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remains unrivalled in the quality of its images and in the magic of the illustrations themselves.
The Alice you see in this section is from The Little Folks' Edition of 1907.
Scroll through the timeline below to see all those who were involved in the creation of the many different editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, from when it was first conceived of in 1862, to Macmillan Children's Book's The Complete Alice, published on 4 July 2015 to coincide with Alice Day.

A very modern Alice
In 2015 we brought Alice, her curiosity and her friends to a new audience by asking the next generation of designers over at YCN creative network to interpret the story themselves and come up with a new cover? Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at the wonderful entries and the twelve winners.
What colour is that dress? A brief history
The image of Alice we are familiar with is that of her in a blue dress and white apron, but what colour dress did Lewis Carroll envisage when he wrote the story and prepared it for publication?
During the latter part of the nineteenth century, processes were being developed to make it cheaper to mass-produce colour images.
The very first coloured representations of Alice appeared not in the original books but in associated products and were printed using the chromo-lithograph process. An early example of this is a music cover for The Wonderland Quadrilles, composed for the pianoforte and published around 1872. This illustration, which was drawn by Tenniel and approved by Carroll, shows Alice in a red dress - you'll find her in the top two circles in the picture below.
Alice appeared with a red dress on the front cover of the People's Edition in 1887, however there was no colour inside this edition - the illustrations were all black and white. Red was also the colour that Carroll had wanted for the cover binding of the very first edition of Alice in 1865, rather than the usual Macmillan green.
The first colour to appear inside any of the books was that in The Nursery Alice. After Tenniel had redrawn and enlarged the illustrations into a more suitable format for nursery readers, the book was engraved and printed by Edmund Evans. Evans was the leading Victorian printer and had a reputation for improving the colour printing of children's books. In that edition, published in 1889 and approved by Carroll, we see Alice in a yellow dress, a white apron with blue trimming and blue ribbon and stockings. This colour was also used in the postage stamp case invented by Lewis Carroll, which was produced by Emberlin and Son in the same year.
Alice's initial appearance in a blue dress is in The Little Folks' Editions of both Alice and Through the Looking Glass, published by Macmillan in 1903. Alice wears a blue dress and headband, white apron with yellow trimmings and yellow striped stockings.
Red again
In The Little Folks' Edition of 1907, Alice appears in a red dress throughout the book.
Back to blue
After Carroll's death in 1898 and by the beginning of the twentieth century, Tenniel's eyesight was fading. Harry G. Theaker was commissioned to colour sixteen plates of the Tenniel illustrations for a one volume edition of Alice and Through the Looking Glass published in 1911.
The blue that he used for colouring Alice's dress, together with the white apron and blue striped stockings, established the iconic dress colour that has remained in the Macmillan editions ever since. It was later adopted by Walt Disney for their 1951 film.
Other colour versions followed. John Macfarlane recoloured the illustrations for the 1927 Macmillan Children's Edition, maintaining Alice in a blue dress but with a red trim to her apron. These illustrations have also been reissued in the Macmillan Classics Edition for the 150th anniversary.
In the 1990s, Diz Wallis was commissioned to add to the Theaker colourings to create a complete set of Alice images for both books. This colouring has been used for the Macmillan Alice logo.
So what colour did Carroll intend the dress to be?
We might say that it was the yellow dress that he approved for The Nursery Alice. However it is the classic image of her in a blue dress with a pocketed white apron, blue "Alice band" and ankle strap shoes that is remembered and will be re-enacted in costumes at events around the world.
True to the story of the Macmillan Alice, each edition sees her in the original colour she appeared in for each book: yellow in The Nursery Alice, red in The Little Folks' Edition and blue in The Complete Alice.
The real Alice
by Vanessa Tait
Vanessa is the author of The Looking Glass House. Published by Atlantic Books, it is a novel informed by family treasures and stories of the real Alice, her great-grandmother, Alice Liddell.
There are actually two Alices: the one who fell down a rabbit hole and is stuck at the age of seven and a half, and the other one, the "real" Alice, who grew up, left Lewis Carroll behind and became – eventually – my great-grandmother.
The confusion between the two is understandable, even though the fictional Alice grows still more famous every day and the real Alice lived out her life in relative obscurity. Lewis Carroll told the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to the real Alice on 4 July, more than 150 years ago, on a boat trip, and it's easy to see the character of the little girl shine through: she is by turns imperious, inquisitive, rude and endearing.
The Alice that lives on in my family is akin to that. My mother remembers sitting on her knee as her beloved only grandchild and being fed sugar (Alice's other two sons were killed in WWII). Her letters to her husband are full of affection: "My Dearest, I think you would have laughed to see your wife skirmishing about this afternoon like a little one," she writes, before describing games of stag and blind man's buff.
And then there is the imperious Alice who was turned by the years into something harder: she forbade Caryl, my grandfather, a career as a concert pianist, for example. And she stopped another son from announcing his engagement by kicking him under the luncheon table – because his fiancée had the temerity to be American!
Caryl cannily saved everything of Alice's: her brown taffeta dress, her opera glasses, all the photographs Lewis Carroll took of her as a girl. When I was a child I used to go upstairs and pull on her gloves, flick through her cheque stubs. It transported me – and it is a testament to the power of the book that the next phrase has grown hackneyed – down the rabbit hole. I would become Alice for a little while, transported to the foreign country of the past. And I still feel a connection: I look like her – the real Alice that is – and she has also inspired so much in my creative life.
"A cat may look at a king": the Cheshire Cat
I have always had a soft spot for tricksters, outsiders, and those who survive outside the normal rules. They can be dangerous friends, of course, with their motley of helpfulness and mischief, but they see things that others do not.
Perhaps it is no surprise that when my youthful imagination tumbled headfirst into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I was particularly enchanted by the Cheshire Cat.
The Cat is not exactly a comforting presence. He has "very long claws and a great number of teeth", and possibly the will to use them. But he is good-natured in his fashion, if treated with courtesy, and a guide in a world of strangeness.
The Cheshire Cat is a law unto himself, even by the anarchic standards of Wonderland. I always admired the way that he goes where he pleases, disappears at will, fears nothing and meets all disapproval with a grin. He is aware of the madness of the world and his share in it, but it does not bother him.
Even the domineering, execution-obsessed Queen of Hearts is helpless in the face of the Cat. How do you decapitate a floating head?
"A cat may look at a king." The Cheshire Cat tells us that we can peer at the powerful, make up their minds about them, criticise their faults and mock their follies. And sometimes the kings, queens and rulers of the world are more frightened of a mocking grin than anything else...

Tweedledum and Tweedledee by Philip Ardagh
Alice's meeting with Tweedledum and Tweedledee has passed into British folklore, so much so that today people assume that they're Carroll's creation. In fact, they existed as characters in a much earlier – but generally forgotten – nursery song but, with the help of John Tenniel's extraordinary illustrations, have become synonymous with Alice. Carroll describes them as little men "looking so exactly like a couple of great [big] schoolboys." Tenniel drew them as round as a pair of Christmas Puddings.
This is an excerpt from Philip Ardagh's foreword to Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
the White Rabbit,
by Chris Riddell
Before I knew a thing about him, John Tenniel was a hero of mine, or rather, I should say, his white rabbit was. As a child I copied Tenniel's illustrations from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland obsessively, particularly his drawing of the White Rabbit in waistcoat and frock coat, umbrella tucked under one arm and a pocket watch in paw, a look of suppressed panic in his eye. I loved analysing the shading, intricate lines of cross-hatching, the folds of the sleeve, the tilt of the head, that wide-eyed rabbit stare. Tenniel was one of the reasons I became an illustrator.
Later, I began to notice old Punch cartoons with that familiar cross-hatch style, and a particular look to the figures. The British lion, Britannia, a forlorn Bismarck getting off a ship – they could all have stepped out of the pages of Wonderland. Then I saw in the corner an elegant monogram: "JT".
Born in 1820, Tenniel began his career as a painter – one of his murals, Saint Cecilia, adorns the House of Lords. But in 1850 he joined Punch as the magazine's principal political cartoonist, a post he held for 50 years. It was this work that caught Charles Dodgson's eye and led him to approach Tenniel to illustrate his book Alice's Adventures Under Ground. Published subsequently by Macmillan as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with 34 exquisitely engraved line drawings, the book became a classic that eventually eclipsed Tenniel's work as a cartoonist.
Chris Riddell is an accomplished artist and the political cartoonist for the Observer. He is also the author and illustrator of the Goth Girl and Ottoline series for children. Several of his books have won awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Costa Children's Book Award. In 2015, he was appointed as the ninth Children's Laureate.
Alice Day, when Alice was dreamed up
Alice Day in Oxford, 4 July, all day
To commemorate the famous boat ride that inspired the book, the city of Oxford hosts all manner of Alice in Wonderland events, including tea parties, croquet, storytelling and workshops.
Throw your own Mad Hatter's Tea Party!
What better way to celebrate all things Alice than throwing your own Mad Hatter's Tea Party. This helpful guide contains tips on decorations, food and activities… everything you need to throw your own Alice-themed party.
Make your own bunting using this template. Just print it and cut the triangles out carefully and then stick them to some string. You can make the bunting as long as you like. Make sure an adult helps you with the cutting out.
Make a Mad table cloth. Buy a plain tablecloth and decorate it by using stamps, paints or sticking on pictures of characters.
Scatter playing cards or shapes like hearts and clubs on the table.
Print and cut out the White Rabbit's pocket watch and use this as a placemat – you can also get your guests to colour it in. If you want more colouring, this Mad Hatter could do with a splash.
Food & Drink
Attach Drink Me and Eat Me labels using ribbon or string to bottles, teacups, bowls, plates and anything else that holds food or drink.
Remember, nothing matches on the Mad Hatter's table so use an assortment if different sized cups, plates, bowls, even teapots – anything goes.
Decorate the cocktail sticks for your sausages or cheese and pineapple with Alice designs. All you need to do is print out pictures of Alice and her tea party companions, or clubs and hearts, and glue them to the ends of the sticks.
Bake cookies or mini cupcakes and write Eat Me on them in icing. You can also bake cookies in the shape of the letters Eat Me or teacups, rabbits, or shapes from playing cards.
If you are feeling adventurous you could even bake a cake in the shape of a mushroom or a teapot.
Activities & Games
Find the White Rabbit
Gather a lot of teacups and put them upside down on a table. Hide the White Rabbit (or any other suitable Alice character) underneath one of them.
Guests take turns and lift one cup per turn – you can shuffle the cups after each turn if you'd like. The winner is the one who finds the White Rabbit.
Humpty Dumpty
Get your guests to paint some hard-boiled eggs to look like Humpty Dumpty, the best one wins a prize.
Queen of Hearts Says
Everyone has to follow the orders of the Queen of Hearts or it's 'Off With Their Heads'. Play this game like Simon Says; if you don't do what the queen says then you are out. The last one standing is the winner.
Good parties need good costumes. You and your guests could draw and cut out some Alice masks.
Now you have everything you could possibly need to throw your own Mad Hatter's Tea Party – Macmillan hope you enjoy your trip to Wonderland!

Physical Appearence
She has a regular doll-like body as is expected of all the Rozen Maidens. Her appearence is most likely based off of the real seventh Rozen Maiden. She has a rose-layered eyepatch on her left eye. Her other eye is yellow in color. She wears an ornately ruffled dress with a small, pale colored rose on it.
Her personality is very hard to predict. She at first had no emotions but when she lost her eyepatch in one episode of the anime it is revealed that it might have been the eyepatch that was holding her emotions back since she starts to cry.
World behind the Mirror
Her world is just like Suigintou's except it is a bit less vulgar and also it seems to be snowing all the time.
She can control crystals which can be used as method of self-defense since they can only come upward from the ground.

I still smell a rally to the upside.
You should be koolblue! You are definitely a great trader/scalper. High Five.
pit session 50% retrace area around 08.5
Kool am I right to say 12:19 could be another high?
Not really Karen, Charter Joe and Bruce M. are better but i do make money, consistantly, and thats the name of the game i guess!
sorry 3:19 ET
kool, i see that short at 1216-17 as 50% retracement from 13:45 to 14:20 and 1m indicators oversold . i wonder if that is why you did it
Margie, absoulutly! Your getiing the hang of it.. OF course you need to watch yourtehnicals when you get near there.
STB,no to be honest i wasnt aware of that. Near the peak, my 1 min %r was above 92 ,stoch up there also. Dont forget the neg. divergencies at 1224 area on the 15 min. chart i mentioned. So, iwas looking for a more significant decline than what we had seen so far , i decided to sell 2.5 above the 5 min avg which was around 1214.25 this is because vol. was dropping off (1min. chart as we climbed we stalled at the avg for a min or so and because of the above resons i just didnt think it had enough power to go avg plus 5 . so i used the next minor division of avg plus 2.5(1216.75) put my order in one tick lower for a sure fill. ishould point out it went to 1217.50 if memory serves so it certainly wasnt perfect
Margie 5 min tech. over half way up to over bought ... this could be a good scalp in your time frame.
Margie , i may join u ...%r is around 80(want 92 or better, stoch. around 60-70 so clearly were getting there!6-9 min.
Half out at 93 +19 on those...SL on rest at 1210, next target is 1174.

Promoters of Enrique Iglesias' Sri Lankan concert should be "whipped with toxic stingray tails" as punishment for women throwing their bras on stage, the country's president has warned.
Maithripala Sirisena condemned the singer's "Sex and Love" show after he heard women rushed on stage to kiss and hug the Spanish star and throw underwear at him during the December 20 concert.
The Sri Lankan leader was appalled by what happened at the "indecent" Colombo show, and went as far to suggest the promoters should be beaten in a medieval-style punishment.
"This is most uncivilised behaviour that goes against our culture," Mr Sirisena told a public meeting, according to the BBC.
"I don't advocate that these uncivilised women who removed their brassieres should be beaten with toxic stingray tails, but those who organised such an event should be.
"These indecent concerts should never receive authorisation again in Sri Lanka."
In one video posted to YouTube, Iglesias is seen catching a bra thrown to him from the audience before inviting a woman on-stage to dance with him.
According to the BBC report, whipping with stingray tails was a punishment reserved for hardened criminals in medieval Sri Lanka, and is still today used as an expression for extreme punishment.
Mr Sirisena, who came to power in January, has also floated the idea reintroducing the death penalty in Sri Lanka following a series of high profile rapes.
The price of tickets to the show, which ranged between $US35 and $US350, also angered the president. In 2012, the average monthly income in Sri Lanka was $US83, according to a government report.
Iglesias is yet to publicly comment on Mr Sirisena's remarks, as have the event's organisers.
The "Sex and Love" tour made headlines in June after the singer sliced his fingers on a drone capturing footage of the show. Iglesias had his hand bandaged before finishing the show.

On Monday, July 4, Tom McDonald wrote an editorial in the Las Vegas Optic entitled "The Better Side of the U.S.A." He wrote it from that angle. There is a downside to the U.S.A., the "Declaration of Independence" and the Constitution. Both documents were written by ruthless, racist, sexist, property-owning, slave-owning, colonizing, annihilating, white men.
What's the opposite of smart growth? Dumb development. And Las Vegas got yet more of it (recently). Workers chopped down several mature piñon trees on a peripheral New Mexico Highlands University parking lot.
Congratulations to the San Miguel Detention Center for having earned accreditation of its health services by meeting all the standards for detainees' health care. What a tribute to the efforts of the administrator and the staff in providing these services and this level of concern!
I am proud of being part of a community that recognizes its responsibility to all its members, regardless of their circumstances, and responds to the needs of our fellow human beings.
Carol Winkel
Las Vegas
Whatever happened to fairness? Isn't looking out for your friends and neighbors a traditional American value? Why don't we ask the wealthy individuals and big corporations to pay more tax so that essential services to the poor and vulnerable are not cut?
On behalf of the Mariachi Cardenal Infantil Group, we would like to express our thanks to the community for their support. The group attended the Mariachi Spectacular conference in Albuquerque last week and had the opportunity to showcase their talents against groups from around the United States and Mexico.
This letter is in response to conversation in the community, as well as the article in the Optic describing the vandalism in our local cemetery. There have been many who are attempting to make a connection between Reies Lopez Tijerina and his "followers" to the vandalism.
Stopped at the Plaza Park to see what all the gathering of people and dignitaries was all about. Found out the mayor was proclaiming the day Reies Lopez Tijerina Day and was giving him the keys to the city. What?
I remember the '60s and the '70s. All the protests in the South led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I admired his fight for civil rights. I remember too Mr. Cesar Chavez fighting for the farmworkers' rights. I greatly admired their courage to accomplish their goals by means of nonviolence.
In the last six years my water bill has gone up $15. I use less than 2,000 gallons, the minimum amount of water, and I don't use city natural gas. Contrary to popular belief we live in a rather poor community, with working poor, disabled and seniors on limited and/or fixed incomes, and to impose trash bills combined with land taxes, I think is prejudicial. Please find other ways to collect on unpaid trash bills!
Traffic lights are not only expensive to install, they are a significant source of accidents to motorists and pedestrians. A modern signal can cost taxpayers between $80,000 and $100,000 to install. Plus the cost of the electrical power to operate a signalized intersection 24 hours a day, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation, is now averaging about $1,400 per year.
It has come to my attention that administration and the School Board at the Mora Independent Schools is talking about closing the swimming pool and making it into a bus garage. In my opinion, this is the worst mistake anyone can make, and the community should protest.
The swimming pool is the only form of recreation that is available for the children in the community. It's because of the children that the Mora Independent Schools gets funding.

Front Free Endpaper 10 Years Old Today
Normally I don't make a big deal about the birthday of this blog, in fact, on a number of years recently I have forgotten even to mention it. However, as it was ten years ago today that I first sat down to pen a few lines on this blog I thought it would be appropriate just to pause and say thank you.
I remember the first year and bit of this blog as being like whispering in a hurricane, there was this distinct feeling that I was saying nothing very much and no one was listening. There were never any comments on blog posts and I was writing what was effectively just a personal diary. It was only a couple of years in that I began to realise that most of the 'action' of this blog took place outside its long white pages. And if I was going to give anyone a single piece of advice about starting a blog it would be to remember that: for a long time it feel pointless and then, suddenly, you will count up all the people you have met as a result of it, all the things you have learnt, all the projects which it has been the catalyst for and realise what has been going on all this time. Nowadays I regularly meet people in the real life world of bookdealing and introduce myself and hear 'oh, I read your blog' which is both, of course, wonderfully stroking of the ego but also is a great reminder of just how many people can be reached by what one types on a page.
There are numbers of course. A few months ago this blog passed a million page views in its lifetime. As a visitor you are one of about 200 people who will come this way today. Most of the people who read this blog come from Germany(!), just pipping readers from The US, the UK and then Greece, France, Israel, Russia and the Ukraine! The top search request to Google that results in people being here, after my name, is predictable and rest assured those people go away disappointed. A number that doesn't come from Google's stats is that I think at least 20 books, probably more, wouldn't have been published if it wasn't for people making first contact with me through this blog.
Anyway, at this time, I would just like to say thank you to all of you who come and read these sometimes interesting, sometimes inane, sometimes simply an "excuse-for-the-pretty" posts. Thank you whether you are in touch with me, or are simply a regular reader I know nothing about. Writing the blog has been an enormously enriching part of life for me and that's largely down to the people, not the screen.
Thank you...
Here's to the next 10 years!

As with other organs, the eye's growth is regulated by homeostatic control mechanisms. Unlike other organs, the eye relies on vision as a principal input to guide growth.

Norton Rose swoop" class="inline_image inline_image_left" src="/pictures/web/images/8943_5_clydes.gif" />
Clyde & Co aims to grow its global aviation finance team by 40 per cent within two years and has kick-started the process with the appointment of Norton Rose of counsel Leigh Borrello in Singapore.
Borrello, who starts today (3 September) as a partner, will head an on-the-ground team of two associates, a trainee and a paralegal in the new Singapore practice.
The team will also be joined by London partner Siva Subramanium, who will spend half of his time in Singapore and the other half in London.
Clydes partner Gavin Hill, who heads the aviation finance group, said the firm's expansion will be client-driven, as was the case in Singapore.
"Our clients' focus on Hong Kong has dwindled, with many seeing Singapore as the hub of South East Asia, which is what led us to open the largest UK aviation finance practice there," said Hill.
Hill explained that the aviation finance team is hoping to grow its 25-lawyer practice to 35 in the next couple of years.
"The obvious choices would be Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York, although it all comes down to whether the clients want this or not," said Hill. "Currently we have local counsel in these areas who can do the work on the ground, but not so much on the transactional side.
"If our clients want us to plug the gaps and we can find the right person with the right expertise, these would be the appropriate areas for growth."
The news comes just weeks after Clydes announced it was plotting a hiring frenzy in the Middle East, with a plan to hire at least 40 lawyers in the region during the next financial year (The Lawyer, 16 July).


text: Most economists expect hiring to improve this month from March's low level. Some think net job gains rose to about 150,000. But a higher net gain may be due more to dwindling layoffs than to increased hiring.A drop in layoffs can make those with jobs feel more confident about keeping them, even when unemployment is high. Layoffs fell in January to their lowest level in the 12 years that the government has tracked the data. When people feel secure in their jobs, they are more likely to spend money and add to economic growth. More than 5 million Americans received unemployment aid in the week ending April 6, the latest data available. That is about 80,000 fewer than the previous week. Some recipients may no longer receive benefits because they have found jobs. But many have used up all the benefits available to them. The economy is expected to have grown at a much quicker pace in the January-March quarter. Most economists forecast that growth accelerated to an annual rate of more than 3 percent in the first quarter, up from just a 0.4 percent rate in the fourth quarter. Many analysts now think growth is slowing in the April-June quarter, in part because of across-the-board government spending cuts that began taking effect March 1. Those cuts may have made businesses nervous about adding jobs. But the decline in applications also indicates that, so far at least, the across the government spending cuts haven't triggered more layoffs. Many economists say the cuts will likely force government contractors to cut jobs.

Everbright E610 used in an exclusive residential project
Everbright E610 Clear was used on an entrance canopy in a residential development in Cottesloe, Perth, WA. Everbright E610 free spanned 4 m incorporating Locking System LS2.2. Locking system LS2.2 simply means there is 2 aluminium locking bars required out of every 6 chambers.
These panels were extruded, and supplied in complete 7 m and 2 m lengths. The panels simply clip together making the installation process very rapid, as our product only requires to be joined every 600 mm on site. Installation time for this project was one day and two tradesmen were available on site, keeping disruption down to a minimum. The total area was around 20 sqm.
The design brief for this development was for a modern looking translucent system that would provide as much natural light as possible and would minimize structural requirements, thus providing a pleasant and comfortable environment to be usable space all year round. This simple supporting structure made the construction process very simple and gave our client the desired effect.

U.K. Retail Sales Rise Unlikely to Last
U.K. retailers sold more than expected in September, but the surprisingly strong official data is more than likely a flash in the pan.
Britons continue to be squeezed by elevated inflation, low wage growth, and rising unemployment.
Consumer confidence is weak: the Institute for Fiscal Studies—a respected economic research organisation—said Wednesday that household spending won't rebound to pre-recession levels until 2013 at the earliest.
It's no surprise that earlier this month the governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, said the U.K. is in the grip of what could be the most serious financial crisis ever.
Against that backdrop, many economists were surprised when the Office for National Statistics said the volume of U.K. retail sales was 0.6% higher in September than in August, and also 0.6% higher than in September last year.

Had things gone differently after the 2007 draft, the game in Oakland Sunday
might be a duel between the first two quarterbacks taken - JaMarcus Russell by
the Raiders and Brady Quinn by the Browns.
As it is, the chances of that happening are very remote since Russell did not sign until the second week of the season. Plus, the Browns are bringing Quinn along slowly. When he plays depends on how well Derek Anderson continues to play. If Anderson continues to play as he did against the Bengals, it might be a long time before Quinn plays.
"One play away doesn't just imply an injury," coach Romeo Crennel said. "It could be an injury or a guy not performing. I don't know how it's going to occur or if it's going to occur. But he's really one play away."
Crennel and General Manager Phil Savage do not seem to be in harmony on this issue. Savage said the most important thing the Browns must do this season is develop Quinn in the right way. He said not playing Quinn before he is ready is part of the 'big picture,' meaning the next series, the next quarter or even the current game is not as important as preparing Quinn for the future; Savage says once the change is made, there is no going back to Anderson.
Anderson's problem is he is prone to turnovers. He threw 57 interceptions at Oregon State, which is the biggest reason the Ravens did not draft him until the sixth round in 2005. He was waived as a rookie and claimed by Savage, who liked Anderson for his strong arm.
Anderson threw eight picks with the Browns last year and one in the 34-7 loss to the Steelers in the opener. He threw one against the Bengals and it led to a Cincinnati field goal, but he did more than enough right to offset that mistake in a 51-45 Browns victory.
Anderson, who did not do enough to beat out Charlie Frye, became the starter Sept. 11 when Frye was traded to Seattle. He started slowly against the Bengals but finished with 20 completions in 33 attempts for 328 yards. He spread the wealth with two touchdown passes to Braylon Edwards, two to Joe Jurevicius and one to Kellen Winslow. He had six career touchdown passes before Sunday.
Anderson will need the kind of protection he got from his line against the Bengals when the Browns get to Oakland. He was sacked once and Frye five times by the Steelers. The Bengals did not touch him. Jamal Lewis benefited from holes blown by Eric Steinbach and Joe Thomas, among others, to rush for 216 yards.
Anderson is hoping the magic continues. The Browns won in Oakland in 2005 and 2006. Ironically, Frye was the quarterback for both those games. Frye won six games in his career and two of them were in Oakland.
Anderson said the key is staying patient and taking what the opponent gives him. He wants to continue spreading the ball around.
"When you get guys going, somebody is going to be one-on-one," Anderson said. "When Jamal's rolling like that, it opens up play-action downfield. Those linebackers get sucked up and our tight ends get down the field."
--P Dave Zastudil was back in the lineup after missing the opener because of an oblique muscle pull. He and Paul Ernster both punted in pregame warm-ups. The decision to go with Zastudil wasn't made until he said he made it through the session all right. Zastudil punted only twice.
--K Phil Dawson moved into fourth place on the Browns' all-time scoring list with three field goals and six PATs for 685 career points. He trails Lou Groza, Don Cockroft and Jim Brown.
--WR Joe Jurevicius caught two touchdown passes against the Bengals. It was the sixth time in his career Jurevicius caught two touchdown passes.
--S Brodney Pool suffered a mild concussion in a collision with Bengals wide receiver Glenn Holt and did not return.
--RB Jamal Lewis finished with 216 yards on 27 carries. It was his ninth 100-yard game against the Bengals and the 31st of his career.

The service is very polite but slow. we requested a side plate of bread and butter for the little lady but instead the sandwiches from 1 of the afternoon teas was replaced with the bread and butter......strange interpretation of our request but anyhow! Also 7.50 for a glass of wine seemed a little steap. Still a really nice reasonably priced afternoon tea in a stunning setting. We would totally recommend.

Kroll, which set a Friday deadline for offers for the 45-store chain, said it initially received a total of 72 expressions of interest.
It added that all the Allders outlets would continue to trade as normal while the bids were assessed.
No details were given on whether the firm will stay as one - Kroll's preferred option - or be broken up.
Possible bidders
Allders went into administration on 26 January after continuing to rack up losses despite a management shake-up two years ago.
Parent company property group Minerva put the chain up for sale last month but failed to secure a buyer.
While Allders continues to trade as normal at present, some 130 of its 5,700 staff have lost their jobs.
Kroll has previously said it is hopeful it can sell the business as a going concern.
This would enable creditors to be paid more quickly and potentially safeguard jobs.
But retail analyst Nick Bubb, from stockbroker Evolution Securities, said he believed it was more likely the group would be split up and sold off to separate firms.
"It will be worth more broken up than as a going concern," he said.
Potential bidders linked with Allders have included Debenhams, discount clothing chain Primark and private equity groups Alchemy and Sun Capital.
Minerva made a loss of £22.6m on its 60% share of Allders in the six months to the end of June 2004.
'Customer loyalty'
"It is very pleasing to have received such a high level of interest and that this interest has been translated into offers," said joint administrator Alastair Beveridge.
"In general, trading during the [past] week has continued to be better than during the same period last year, showing that customer support has been maintained during the administrative process.
"This has been largely as a result of the support and efforts of the employees of both Allders and the [in-store] concession holders."

Speed was a contributing factor in the fiery motor vehicle crash on U.S. 221 North bypass near Tate Street Thursday night that killed one person and sent another to the hospital.
First Sgt. Chris McClelland of the N.C. Highway Patrol told The McDowell News Friday that troopers arrived at the scene on the bypass around 9:50 p.m.
According to McClelland, Alejandro Orozco, 21, of Marion, was travelling between 100 and 110 mph when he lost control of his '93 Honda Civic, crossed the median into oncoming traffic and hit Hannah Shea, 20, of Marion, head on.
Orzoco's vehicle overturned and caught fire.
Orzoco was pronounced dead at the scene.
Shea was transported to The McDowell Hospital. Officials there said Friday morning she had been released.
The bypass was closed in both directions and traffic was rerouted to West Henderson Street Thursday night. All lanes are now open.
Trooper T.C. Hamby of the N.C. Highway Patrol is in charge of the ongoing investigation.
McDowell Resuce Squad, McDowell EMS, Marion Fire Department, N.C. Highway Patrol, and first-responders assisted at the crash.

text: Curious Timing July 18, 2007, 2:35 PM EDT Hot on the heels of yesterday's release of the declassified NIE on Al Qaeda, the U.S. military in Baghdad announced today that it has captured a top leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq:The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group's foreign-based leadership wields considerable influence over the Iraqi chapter.First off, the capture took place two weeks ago but was not announced until today. Hmmm, have we seen that before? And the detainee just happened to confess to a greater level of coordination between AQ in Iraq and Osama bin Laden's global AQ, right in line with the official White House line that AQ in Iraq and AQ are one and the same. The White House is already highlighting the capture in its daily email to reporters. Go figure.

NEW YORK – Last July, when United States federal judge Thomas Griesa ruled that Argentina had to repay in full the so-called vulture funds that had bought its sovereign debt at rock-bottom prices, the country was forced into default, or "Griesafault." The decision reverberated far and wide, affecting bonds issued in a variety of jurisdictions, suggesting that US courts held sway over contracts executed in other countries.
Ever since, lawyers and economists have tried to untangle the befuddling implications of Griesa's decision. Does the authority of US courts really extend beyond America's borders?
Now, a court in the United Kingdom has finally brought some clarity to the issue, ruling that Argentina's interest payments on bonds issued under UK law are covered by UK law, not US judicial rulings. The decision – a welcome break from a series of decisions by American judges who do not seem to understand the complexities of global financial markets – conveys some important messages.
First and foremost, the fact that the Argentine debt negotiations were preempted by an American court – which was then contradicted by a British court – is a stark reminder that market-based solutions to sovereign-debt crises have a high potential for chaos. Before the Griesafault, it was often mistakenly assumed that solutions to sovereign-debt repayment problems could be achieved through decentralized negotiations, without a strong legal framework. Even afterwards, the financial community and the International Monetary Fund hoped to establish some order in sovereign-bond markets simply by tweaking debt contracts, particularly the terms of so-called collective-action clauses (which bind all creditors to a restructuring proposal approved by a supermajority).

text: Mobile money technology helps Oxfam distribute aid in Guatemala03 Dec 2013 03:23 PM Oxfam distributes financial aid within 48 hours to the poorest families in Guatemala by using Tigo Money's network of mobile money agents throughout the countryMillicom today (3 December 2013) announced that international aid organisation Oxfam and Tigo in Guatemala have signed an agreement to continue to distribute aid using mobile money to people in the areas of the country that are the most affected by malnutrition. Oxfam has chosen Millicom's Tigo Money operation to use its secure system and the network of authorised agents to deliver funds to aid such communities. Oxfam funds are used to cover basic needs of food and shelter for the most impoverished families.The agreement extends the cooperation that started in December 2012 when Oxfam distributed funds via Tigo money to families who lost their homes due to the earthquake in San Marcos.Tigo's general manager, Luis Fernando Valladares Guillen, said: "At Tigo Money we really appreciate that an organisation such as Oxfam has chosen us as a channel to reach poor families in a fast, safe, and accessible manner thanks to our large network of authorised agents throughout the country. We are certain that through our experience, technology, services, and great enthusiasm to help our fellow Guatemalans we will meet and surpass expectations."From the beginning of this alliance through October 2013, Oxfam sent more than 2.25 million Guatemalan quetzals (282,000 USD) through Tigo Money, aiding 1,700 families with funds for food aid in the Territorial Region of Chiquimula, one of the worst affected by drought and child malnutrition in Guatemala.Iván Aguilar, Oxfam's programme co-ordinator in Guatemala, commented: "It is always important to explore new technologies and new services that can allow Oxfam's humanitarian work to have effect. Tigo money offers us the possibility to get our service to communities that are most vulnerable – the communities where we work."Through this new system the beneficiaries of Oxfam aid can obtain financial aid in an immediate and safe manner. Additionally, recipients in remote areas gain access to a formal mechanism of money transfer without having to rely on proximity to a traditional bank. Tigo and Oxfam are now planning a System of Emergency Reaction which will allow them to organise the delivery of aid within 48 hours to people most affected by the natural disasters that frequently devastate the country. Tigo and Oxfam are also finalising details to start an aid project for poor communities in the region of Baja Verapaz.Hans-Holger Albrecht, the president and chief executive of international telecommunications and media company Millicom, the firm behind the Tigo brand, said: "I am delighted that we have been able to support Oxfam's vital humanitarian work in Guatemala. In an age where technology is transforming all our lives, it is so important that it serves people who stand to benefit most." Millicom, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Luxembourg, is a digital lifestyle company in emerging markets. It has operations in a total of 15 countries offering mobile phone, internet, payTV, ecommerce and financial services to over 45 million customers in countries in Africa and Latin America including Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Paraguay.
