The World Medical Association's 48th General Assembly, meeting this week in Somerset West, Western Cape Province, South Africa, installed its new president, DR BERNARD MANDELL, chairman of the Federal Council of the Medical Association of South Africa.
It elected Dr Azrul Azwar, president of the Indonesia medical Association, as its president-elect. He will take office at the next meeting of the WMA Assembly in Hamburg, Germany, next year.
The Assembly adopted the following policies:
a new Declaration on Family Violence that calls on national medical associations to intensify their efforts to combat the universal problem of family violence which is described as a major public health problem. The document addresses the need for doctors to be adequately trained about the issue and for patients to be given more information on the subject by doctors;
a new Statement on Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs declaring that the global increase in resistance, including the emergence of bacterial strains resistant to all available antibacterial agents, had created a public health problem of potentially crisis proportions. The Statement calls for the enhancement of the World Health Organisation's global network of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and for research on the development of innovative antimicrobial agents. It is also proposed that antimicrobial agents should be available only through prescription by licensed qualified health care and veterinary professionals;
a Statement on Family Planning and the Right of a Woman to Contraception recommending national medical associations actively to promote the benefits of family planning education;
a statement on Professional responsibility for Standards of Medical Care;
a Statement on Weapons and their Relation to Life and Health (see separate statement).
Further papers were debated and these will now be circulated to national medical associations for their comments. These papers relate to:
- responsibilities of patients;
- rights of the unborn;
- licensing of physicians fleeing prosecution for serious criminal offences; rights of the sick child; investment in health.
Dr Radovan Karadzik
The meeting approved a motion denouncing Dr Radovan Karadzik as a physician bringing the medical profession into disrepute ?for not surrendering himself to the International Criminal Tribunal for War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia and demands that he does this forthwith?.
New Members
Two new medical associations were admitted to the WMA - the Haitian Medical Association and the Ugandan Medical Association.
- Note to editors: The World Medical Association is an independent
- confederation of professional national medical associations from more than 60 countries.

Box Office Report: 'Avengers' Towers With $103.2 Million, 'Dark Shadows' Lacks Bite
"Avengers" crosses the $1 billion mark worldwide in only 19 days and is the first film in history to hit $100 million in its second weekend at the domestic box office; "Dark Shadows" opens to a soft $28.8 million.
Breaking another record, The Avengers grossed a stunning $103.2 million during the weekend in North America, becoming the first movie to cross the $100 million mark in its sophomore outing and falling a slim 50 percent.
Worldwide, Avengers expects to jump the $1 billion mark on Sunday after only 19 days, matching the speed record set by Avatar and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, as well as becoming the 11th top grossing title of all time.
With Avengers doing such massive numbers, the news wasn't so good for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collaboration Dark Shadows, which debuted to a muted $28.8 million domestically, putting pressure on the Warner Bros. film to have strong legs.
PHOTOS: 28 of Summer's Most Anticipated Movies: 'Avengers,' 'Dark Knight,' 'Prometheus'
Prerelease tracking had suggested that Burton's campy adaptation of the classic vampire soap opera would earn $35 million to $40 million. The movie, which cost $100 million to produce, only received a B- CinemaScore and skewed noticeably older, with 73 percent of the audience over the age of 25. Females made up 57 percent of the audience.
Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman said the studio certainly wanted Dark Shadows to do more but added the film will benefit from being female-centric as Battleship and Men in Black 3 open on May 18 and May 25, respectively.
"We're hoping that the next few weeks set the pace for where the movie is going," Fellman said.
Avengers also beat Dark Shadows overseas, grossing $95.4 million in its third weekend for a foreign cume of $628.9 million. Domestically, Avengers' cume through Sunday was $373.2 million, becoming the fastest film to reach $300 million.
STORY: Box Office Preview: 'Avengers' Passing $800 Million Worldwide, Could Hit $1 Billion by Sunday
Dark Shadows opened to a $36.7 million internationally from 42 markets, a fair number but coming in on the lower end of expectations. It came in No. 1 ahead of Avengers in several European markets, including France (where Depp lives), where it grossed $4.6 million. It scored its biggest number in Russia, grossing $5.3 million.
The performance of the Joss Whedon-directed Avengers superhero pic is a substantial victory for Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney, propelling Disney's film division to No. 1 in domestic market share as of Sunday.
Avengers is such a powerhouse that IMAX and other big-screen venues split shows between that film and Dark Shadows (IMAX originally intended to swap out Avengers and play only Dark Shadows). Between the two titles, IMAX locaitons grossed $10.3 million worldwide over the weekend.
Avengers' global box office already has surpassed the global box-office totals of setup films Captain America: The First Avenger ($364 million), Thor ($449 million), Iron Man ($585 million) and Iron Man 2 ($624 million).
Internationally, Avengers already has eclipsed the three Spider-Man pics and The Dark Knight to become the most successful superhero title of all time.
Another headline at the domestic box office was Lionsgate and Pantelion's Hispanic-themed Girl in Progress, which came in No. 10, grossing $1.4 million. The film stars Eva Mendes.
At the specialty box office, Fox Searchlight's The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel grossed $2.7 million from 178 theaters in its second weekend to crack the top 10 chart and land at No. 8. The pic's per screen average was an impressive $14,888. Overseas, the film has now earned a stellar $75.7 million
Fox Searchlight's Sheila DeLoach said the adult pic succeeded in serving as counter programming, as well as enjoying a boost from Mother's Day. In two weeks -- Memorial Day -- the John Madden-directed film will be playing in over 800 theaters.
Conversely, the Weinstein Co.'s Mother's Day rerelease of Oscar winner The Artist in 751 theaters across the country fell flat. The pic grossed $161,000 for a screen average of $214.

It knows that any General Middle East War is apt to involve weapons of mass destruction very early on and will totally get out of hand. They have a MAD (mutually assured destruction) Counter-Force with Israel and NATO utilizing their massive Advanced Biological Warfare capabilities, but as the MAD name implies, it would be insane to 'go there'. Killing most Israelis and Saudis and maybe a third of North America's and Europe's civilian populations would do no good to Iran, as its people would be totally wiped out. They are acting as adults, the trouble is Bibi 666 Netanyahu and the globalists are NOT. The WANT WAR regardless of the human costs. Now is a good time for prayer folks. Stirling
Iran said it had delayed promised long-range missile tests in the Gulf on Saturday and signaled it was ready for fresh talks with the West on its disputed nuclear program.
Iran's state media initially reported early on Saturday that long-range missiles had been launched during naval exercises, a move likely to irk the West, which is concerned over threats by Tehran to close off a vital oil shipping route in the Gulf.
But Deputy Navy Commander Mahmoud Mousavi later went on the English language Press TV channel to deny the missiles had in fact been fired: "The exercise of launching missiles will be carried out in the coming days."
Iranian missile spin closes Strait of Hormuz for five hours ~ link ~ The Iranians are sending a clear message to the Saudis and allied Arab and non-Arab forces in the area that their military bases, oil facilities, and even cities are in grave danger of Iranian missile attacks if Iran is attacked or if sanctions are increased. Stirling
For five hours therefore, world shipping obeyed Tehran's warning and gave the narrow waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil passes, a wide berth. They stayed out of range of a test which, debkafile's military sources report, aimed to demonstrate for the first time that Shahab-3 ballistic missiles which have a range of 1,600 kilometers and other missiles, such as the Nasr1cruise marine missile, are capable of reaching Hormuz from central Iran.
Mossad Chief: Iranian nuclear weapon would not be existential threat ~ link ~ Amazing, now even the current Mossad chief agrees with most former Mossad chiefs (and most former IDF chiefs and other top intelligence chiefs) that maybe Israel really does not want to go to war with a large nation like Iran that can DESTROY ISRAEL! But even more amazing is the fact that this will NOT stop Netanyahu and Lieberman/etc. from their path to war, nor the globalist controlled Obama Administration and certain other key NATO powers. Some people have seen the hard time that I give Israel for its policies as some type of hate for the Jewish people....Wrong....I do not hate them....I object to many of the policies of the Israeli state on both moral and strategic grounds. In this, I am at least partially joined by a majority of the 'retired' senior intelligence and military leaders of Israel. A General Middle East War is suicide for Israel, for Saudi Arabia, for Turkey, and for all of the Middle East, and will almost certainly bring about the Third World War with 21st Century weapons...and that means Armageddon! Stirling
Speaking at a meeting of top Israeli ambassadors in Jerusalem, Mossad chief Tamir Pardo rejected the notion that Iran, even if they were nuclear armed, constituted an "existential threat," saying the term is being used "too freely."
"If you said a nuclear bomb in Iranian hands was an 'existential' threat, that would mean that we would have to close up shop. That's not the situation," Pardo insisted. The claim that such a situation would be an existential threat has been a common talking point among hawks in both Israel and the US.
Pardo is the latest in a growing line of Israeli intelligence officials who have been making comments unfavorable to the Netanyahu government's pro-war stance. His predecessor, Meir Dagan, had cautioned openly against attacking Iran, warning it would lead to a "regional war." The comments spawned angry condemnations from political leaders.

US sets stage for war against Iran ~ link ~ Same lies, different target nation, but the results will be FAR FAR WORSE THIS TIME! Stirling
The recent allegations made by the United States against Iran have set the stage for a war against the Islamic Republic, an American analyst says.
"With the typical backdrop of alarmist propaganda in place, the stage is now set for a new war, this time with Iran," Robert Parry said in an article on Global Research.
"There is now a cascading of allegations regarding Iran, as there was with Iraq, with the momentum rushing toward war," he added.
The analyst noted that "tougher and tougher Western sanctions against Iran have pushed the various sides closer to war… as happened with Iraq -- when harsher economic sanctions merged with a US troop build-up."
Warning of "devastating consequences" of a "prospective war with Iran," Parry also said Washington's allegation that Iran is on pace to build a nuclear bomb resembles accusations that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
Illuminati Global Banking Cartel funded both Hitler and Churchill ~ link ~ And Stalin and Lenin and Napoleon, etc., etc. The global banksters are the monsters who profit from and arrange the deaths of hundreds of millions via war and repression, and have done so many times over the past two hundred plus years. They serve the fallen Lucifer and are determined to bring about WWIII and during 2012. Stirling
The 'West' tries out old tricks in Russia ~ link ~ They have only managed to really piss off the Russian Bear! Stirling
Long before the State Duma elections of Dec 4, the ultra-rightist and liberal mass media, collaborating with anti-Russian elements in the West, forecast that the ruling United Russia party would suffer a serious defeat.
They organized all sorts of sociological surveys to support this thoroughly planned campaign and to push their "predictions" on the "crisis" facing Russian leaders and "sharply declining rating" of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev. The anti-Putin campaign became really vociferous when the United Russia congress officially and unanimously approved Putin as its nominee for the presidential election in March 2012.
Hugo Chavez hits at US cancer plots against many South American leaders ~ link ~ I have been told that such technologies exists. Is this happening? Who knows. Stirling
He has called George W Bush the devil and described Barack Obama as a clown.
But Hugo Chávez's customary jabs at his neighbours to the north took an unusual turn this week, when the Venezuelan president suggested that Washington might be behind a wave of cancer among Latin American heads of state.
The Number One Catastrophic Event that Americans Worry About: Economic Collapse ~ link ~ I would say that they should also place WWIII and police state fascism right up there at number one also. Stirling
Can you guess what the number one catastrophic event that Americans worry about is? There are certainly many to choose from. Many Americans are deathly afraid of a major terrorist attack. Others live in constant fear of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes. Still others are incredibly concerned that a massive pandemic will break out at any time or that World War III will erupt in the Middle East. Yes, there are certainly a lot of potential catastrophic events that one can worry about in the times in which we live, but the number one catastrophic event that Americans worry about is actually "economic collapse". At least that is what a recent survey conducted by Leiflin Inc. for the EcoHealth Alliance found. But this goes along with what so many other polls have found over the past few years. Over and over again, opinion polls have found that the number one issue that American voters are concerned about is the economy. The truth is that average Americans are deeply, deeply concerned about unemployment, debt, the housing crash and the steady decline in the standard of living. It has been years since the U.S. economy has operated at a "normal" level, and many Americans are afraid that things could soon get a whole lot worse.
In the new survey mentioned above, those contacted were asked to select the top three potential catastrophes that worry them the most.
The following results come directly from the survey....
30 Statistics that show that the Middle Class is dying right in front of our eyes as we enter 2012 ~ link ~ This is one that you should read in full at the link! Stirling
Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most vibrant middle class that the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, that is rapidly changing. The statistics that you are about to read prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the U.S. middle class is dying right in front of our eyes as we enter 2012. The decline of the middle class is not something that has happened all of a sudden. Rather, there has been a relentless grinding down of the middle class over the last several decades. Millions of our jobs have been shipped overseas, the rate of inflation has far outpaced the rate that our wages have grown, and overwhelming debt has choked the financial life out of millions of American families. Every single day, more Americans fall out of the middle class and into poverty. In fact, more Americans fell into poverty last year than has ever been recorded before. The number of middle class jobs and middle class neighborhoods continues to decline at a staggering pace. As I have written about previously, America as a whole is getting poorer as a nation, and as this happens wealth is becoming increasingly concentrated at the very top of the income scale. This is not how capitalism is supposed to work, and it is not good for America.
Today I went over to Safeway and I was absolutely appalled at the prices. I honestly don't know how most families make it these days. I ended up paying over 140 dollars for about two-thirds of a cart of food. That was after I "saved" 67 dollars on sale items.
When the cost of the basic things that we need - housing, food, gas, electricity - go up faster than our incomes do, that means that we are getting poorer.
Sadly, if you look at the long-term numbers, some very clear negative trends emerge....

Strauss-Kahn expected back in France 'within days'
Latest update : 2011-08-31
Dominique Strauss-Kahn (pictured), the former director of the IMF who has been freed after the dismissal of a criminal case against him in the US, is expected back in France "within days", Socialist Party leader Martine Aubry said Tuesday.
REUTERS - Dominique Strauss-Kahn is expected to return to France within days, Socialist Party leader Martine Aubry said on Tuesday, after the end of a criminal case against the former IMF chief left him free to leave the United States.
"He is coming back in the next few days," Aubry, also a Socialist candidate in France's upcoming presidential election, told Canal+ television when asked about Strauss-Kahn's plan.
Strauss-Kahn, who was greeted by applause at the IMF's Washington D.C. headquarters on Tuesday, is free to return home after the chief prosecutor of Manhattan dropped charges of attempted rape against him, ending months of house arrest.
Many in France are against a return to politics for the former IMF director, who was arrested in May in New York over accusations that he tried to rape a Guinean maid in a luxury hotel room.
While some political allies in France applauded Strauss-Kahn's liberation, others have raised questions about his ability to restart a political career and retain an influence in French public life.
In an interview with Canal+ television, Former Socialist Prime Minister Michel Rocard said that Strauss-Kahn suffered from a "mental illness" and had trouble controlling his impulses.
Rocard's blunt appraisal of Strauss-Kahn sparked a rapid riposte on Tuesday from two veteran Socialists.
"Mr. Rocard has some difficulty himself controlling his urges these days," Jack Lang, a former minister, said on LCI TV.
"I wasn't aware that Mr. Rocard was a medical expert of international stature," Laurent Fabius -- who like Rocard was a prime minister under France's last Socialist president, Francois Mitterrand -- quipped on i<Tele.

20th Annual Lowcountry Soup Challenge moves to Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa
Serious Low Country Soup Challenge contenders, like Chef Ken Ballard, owner of Hilton Head Island's Kenny B's French Quarter Café, are among the many competing chefs and event goers appreciative of the combined efforts of the nearly 90 Volunteers in Medicine volunteers who help bring the Soup Challenge to the community.
Ballard's gumbos, a perennial favorite for years, consistently snag top honors — first place in 2010, second place in 2011. His Gumbo Ya-Ya placed third in the 2009 competition. Look for Ballard, as well as 20 to 30 other top area chefs, at the 20th Annual Volunteers in Medicine Soup Challenge on Sunday, Jan. 22, from noon to 3 p.m., at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa.

4, Aberdare Gardens, LONDON, N.W.6., 17th September, 1937. Mr. Dupre, Garage Dupre, 21, Boulevard Clemenceau, 21. PERPIGNAN, France. Dear Mr. Dupre, Re Damaged Ambulance. I took the liberty of writing to you, as soon as I returned to Great Britain, asking you, as we missed seeing you at Perpignan on our return journey, to let me have the estimate for the repair of the chassis of the damaged ambulance and your opinion as to whether anything can be done with it. I have not yet heard from you, and I will be much obliged if you will be so kind as to let me know at the earliest possible moment exactly your opinion. I hope something can be done with the chassis, but I feel sure that if its repair is going to run to a considerable amount that the Spanish Medical Aid Committee in London would rather cut their losses by selling the chassis for what it is worth as it is, rather than run up another account or more expenditure. Please let me hear from you early as I feel sure that my Committee would like to have this matter settled. With many thanks for your consideration, Yours truly,

A microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer is now available from Agilent Technologies. The 4100 MP-AES uses a nitrogen-based plasma which runs on air and, therefore, does not require flammable or expensive gases. With no external cylinder connections required and no need for on-going gas supplies, the spectrometer is suitable for any elemental analysis laboratory—especially remote sites and mobile laboratories. By eliminating the need to plumb multiple gases into the laboratory or manually transport and handle gas cylinders, laboratory safety is improved. Easy to use application-specific software applets automatically load a pre-set method, enabling users to start analysis without the need for method development or alignment. Minimal training is required and, since flammable gases are no longer required, the system allows for safe, unattended multi-element overnight operation.

J.D. Salinger's short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," employs the traditional device of a surprise ending. Seymour Glass returns to his Miami hotel room, glances at his wife asleep on her bed, takes from his luggage a heavy-caliber German automatic, sits down on his bed, looks again at Muriel, and fires a bullet through his head. Not even Richard Cory's suicide has provoked more critical commentary. Why does Seymour shoot himself?
The number of reasons proposed for this denouement attests to the effectiveness of the surprise. Is Seymour no longer able to cope with the everyday world represented by Muriel and her mother? Is this act a gesture of despair brought on by sexual frustration? Does Seymour want revenge on Muriel and hope by his suicide to win her lost attention? Or does he kill himself because of an inability to reach ideal spiritual perfection...

The Dodgers on Sunday announced the signing of right-handed relief pitcher Kevin Gregg to a minor league contract, two days before pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Camelback Ranch.
Gregg, who turns 35 in June, was 3-2 with a 4.95 ERA in 40 games with the Orioles in 2012, with 37 strikeouts and 24 walks in 43⅔ innings. He didn't save a single game in 2012, but he saved 143 games from 2007-2011 with the Marlins, Cubs, Blue Jays, and Orioles, never fewer than 22 saves in a season during that span.
In his 10-year career, Gregg is 28-38 with a 4.13 ERA in 509 games, with 585 strikeouts and 287 walks in 638⅔ innings. Gregg's strikeout rate of 18.5% of batters faced was his worst since 2005, and his walk rate of 12.0% was high (the major league rate for relievers in 2012 was 9.0%) but in line with his 11.8% career mark.
The bespectacled pitcher was released by the Orioles last Sept. 14.

El Toro's Spezzaferri leads at crunch time
High school water polo.
LAKE FOREST – El Toro water polo player Valerie Spezzaferri earned a new nickname for her clutch shooting Saturday at the Villa Park Classic.
The senior was dubbed "Big Shot Val" by El Toro co-coach Brett McCleave after netting winning goals in the semifinals and finals.
Spezzaferri scored from 6 meters with 4:44 left to lift No. 6 El Toro past visiting No. 5 Los Alamitos, 8-7, in the finals of the loaded, 32-team tournament.
Spezzaferri also scored on a nearly full-court shot at the buzzer in the semifinals to net the Chargers (5-1) a 9-8 victory against Division 2 rival Santiago of Corona. She scored from about her own 5 meter line, a few yards from the sideline, after her steal.
"Today (was) a good day," Spezzaferri said. "That (winning goal against Santiago) was the best feeling ever. I'm really happy my team is behind me to get all the other goals and play good defense."
Los Alamitos (6-1) reached the finals despite playing without high-scoring senior Stephanie Mutafyan, who is with Team USA at the FINA world youth championships in Perth, Australia.
But the top-seeded Griffins could have used "Big Shot Val" for the final seconds of regulation. A promising, cross-cage lob by Corinna Toledo from 8 meters bounced off a side-post and floated in front of the El Toro goal before keeper Emily Browning grabbed the ball to preserve the victory.
"I thought we've grown a lot this tournament ... especially on the offensive end," Los Alamitos coach Dave Carlson said.
Third-seeded El Toro showed an improved resolve throughout the tournament. The Chargers led Los Alamitos by three goals twice in the second period but the Griffins appeared to have the momentum when they took their first lead, 7-6, late in the third. Los Alamitos' Sarah Siepker netted a power-play strike with 1:50 left in the third.
But El Toro responded with a counterattack strike by sophomore Ashley Riley with 35 seconds left in the period for a 7-7 tie.
In the fourth, Browning made five of her 11 saves to support Spezzaferri and help the Chargers emerge with another dramatic victory.
"It really shows which team wants it more toward the end," Spezzaferri said of the dramatic endings. "You really have to want it to win, and that's what we showed today. We definitely try to stay positive with each other no matter what."
Spezzaferri was open for the game-winner against Los Alamitos thanks to the extra coverage Allison Skaggs drew at center. Delaney Riley scored three goals to pace El Toro.
Siepker, Becca Corb and Ella Weber each scored twice for Los Alamitos.
In other tournaments:
At the El Nino Cup: La Jolla captured the tournament title.
At the Los Altos tournament: Sunny Hills defeated Walnut, 9-5, in the finals to improve to 11-0.

MOSCOW, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Two Russian cosmonauts took an Olympic torch on a spacewalk Saturday for the first time in history as part of the Sochi 2014 torch relay.
The torch, unlit for safety reasons, was taken out from the capsule of the International Space Station (ISS) at around 1450 GMT on Saturday by Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy, according to live coverage of the event by Russian state television.
Ryazanskiy, who was first to step out of the ISS, adjusted two video cameras on a hatch and took photos of his colleague Kotov, when he went out of the Pirs docking module with the Olympic torch in hand.
Later, Kotov handed the torch to Ryazanskiy and they took turns posing with it for dramatic shots with the station, the blackness of outer space and the blue-and-white orb of Earth as backdrops.
"All is done according to schedule," the Mission Control Center reported later after they connected with the cosmonauts.
The torch will stay at the orbital station for another two days. It is due to be brought back to Earth by Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, U.S. astronaut Karen Nyberg and Italian Luca Parmitano, of the European Space Agency, who will depart the ISS on board the Soyuz TMA-09M spacecraft on Monday.
According to Russian officials, the "space" torch will be used to lit the main Olympic flame during the opening of the Sochi Winter Olympics on Feb. 7.
Although Olympic torches have been taken into space twice previously, in 1996 and 2000, the Sochi torch is now the first to be taken out for a spacewalk.
The 22nd Winter Olympic Games, the first time to be held in Russia, are slated for Feb. 7-23 in the North Caucasus city of Sochi.
Russian rocket sends astronauts, Olympic torch to ISS
MOSCOW, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- A Russian rocket carrying a three-man crew and the Olympic torch for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, mission control said.
The Soyuz-FG rocket and Soyuz-TMA capsule, decorated with the symbols of the Sochi Games and the Olympic rings, blasted off on time at 8:14 a.m. (0414 GMT) from Baikonur cosmodrome in the Kazakh steppe. Full story

The Christian Anishinabec Fellowship (CAF) had its beginning in the early 1960s in the Northern Light Gospel Mission Conference. Several missionaries under Northern Light Gospel Mission organized a gathering of Native Christian men. At that time a "conference" was not the purpose for gathering, but fellowship and teaching was. This gathering became an annual event and subsequently the Native men helped to plan this meeting. By 1987 they were totally responsible for the meeting and were involved in planning outreach programs and other ministries as a part of their church. The Native pastors and their executive committee seek to minister to and nurture their members, guiding them in the way of the Lord. Through this kind of involvement they have come to feel a greater responsibility for each other and a greater sense of spiritual kinship, and they perceive better how they all fit together as a body in Christ.
In 1990, seven of the Native congregations of the Northern Light Gospel Mission Conference formed the Native Mennonite Conference, a body which related to, but did not participate in, the Mennonite General Assembly (MC). The Native Mennonite Conference changed its name in 1996 to the Christian Anishinabec Fellowship to better reflect its membership. Although its members are Mennonites, the CAF is not formally affiliated with the Mennonite Church (MC). In 2002 five congregations remained part of the Fellowship; in 2009 there were eight congregations with a total of 103 members: Bearskin Lake, Deer Lake, Fort Severn, Grassy Narrows, North Spirit Lake, Pikangikum, Poplar Hill and Sandy Lake.

Helmuth Rilling (Conductor, Organ)
Born: May 29, 1933 - Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The German conductor, Helmuth Rilling, comes from a musical family. He received his earliest musical training at the Protestant theological seminaries Schöntal an der Jagst and Urach in Württemberg. He then studied organ with Karl Gerock, composition with Johann Nepomuk David and choral direction with Hans Grischkat at the Stuttgart College of Music from 1952 to 1955. He completed his studies under Fernando Germani in Rome and at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena. In 1954, while still a student, Helmuth Rilling founded his first choir, the 40-member Gächinger Kantorei, with which he gained an international reputation. From 1957 he was organist and choirmaster at the Stuttgart Gedächtniskirche. From 1963 to 1966 he built up the Spandau Choir while teaching choral direction and organ at the Spandau sacred music school. In 1969 he took over as conductor of the Frankfurt Choir from Kurt Thomas, remaining there until 1981. From 1966 he was lecturer in choral direction at the Frankfurt Music College where he was appointed as professor in 1969 (until 1986). Since 1965 he has also been conductor of the Stuttgart Bach Collegium which frequently performs with the Gächinger Kantorei. Guest tours with both ensembles have taken him around the world. From 1972, Helmuth Rilling has worked on a recording of all of J.S. Bach's cantatas. In 1981 he founded the Stuttgart Bach Academy which he also conducts himself. Other Bach Academies have been set up along similar lines in Japan (1983), Argentina, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia and Hungary. In 1988 he conducted the first performance of the Messa per Rossini written by 13 Italian composers (the most prominent being Verdi) and the first performance of which was supposed to have been given on the first anniversary of the composer's death. In 1990 he was appointed as the President of the New Bach Society.

The PG's editorial support for freedom of speech on the 35-foot limit of abortion centers is one of the most misguided and unforgivable pieces I have ever read ("Better Buffer: The Justices Balance Abortion Rights and Free Speech," July 2). Abortions are legal; the anti-abortion people kill those they want to — shooting them through windows of the clinics they work in and at church. Terroristic threats are no joke.
The Supreme Court as it stands needs extra scrutiny of its decisions; the justices have lost their minds. You need to write of this, not defend it. Some anti-abortion people will say lies and attack women verbally and press against their bodies if no one is there to protect them until the door closes behind them. The photographs they show are most certainly illegally smuggled out of medical facilities with no permission of the woman having the abortion or of the facility. Written permission is needed.
Free speech is being used as a scapegoat to circumvent laws that are unpopular with only a small percentage of the citizenry. Please be more sincere in covering this court's behavior and decisions.

IntercontinentalExchange Bids for CBOT
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) makes a bid for CBOT Holdings (BOT) in which IntercontinentalExchange would issue 1.42 ICE shares for each CBOT share, valued at $187.34 per CBOT share based on yesterday's closing price of ICE shares.
Bear Stearns (BSC) posted $3.82 vs. $3.54 first quarter earnings per share (EPS) on a 14% revenue rise. The company notes residential mortgage-related revenues decreased from the prior year, reflecting weakness in the U.S. residential mortgage-back securities market.
Jupitermedia (JUPM) posted 2 cents vs. 13 cents fourth quarter EPS from continuing operations as higher operating expense offset a 4.8% revenue rise.
IndyMac Bancorp (NDE) says its exposure to subprime mortgages is small and its credit performance statistics are reflective of prime/Alt-A mortgage lending. The company says it is inappropriately categorized by many media sources as a subprime lender.
The Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack (PBY) posted 15 cents fourth quarter EPS from continuing operations vs. a 42 cents loss on a 6.5% revenue rise.
Winnebago Industries (WGO) posted 24 cents vs. 23 cents second quarter EPS despite a 3.6% revenue drop. Winnebago notes the second quarter is negatively impacted by lower volume, which is more than offset by increased financial income and a lower effective tax rate.

Here's some news about Sajid Nadiadwala's next based on 26/11 attacks
In October 2013, Katrina Kaif and Saif Ali Khan were shooting in Beirut, Lebanon for their upcoming film Phantom. Now we hear that Saif and Kat have begun with the Mumbai schedule. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala confirmed the news, said, "The shooting for the Mumbai schedule has begun and we can see the movie progressing as envisioned. Both the actors, Saif and Katrina, have worked hard for their roles. Phantom is an intense action-thriller and is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat."
While shooting in Beirut, Saif and Kat were given extra security as the country is politically unstable. We hear that in Phantom, we will get to see Saif speaking lines in Kurdish, which he has learnt for the film. We just hope that the filmmakers don't forget subtitles.
Phantom is an action-thriller about post 26/11 attacks in Mumbai and global terrorism in which Saif and Kat will be playing the roles of secret agents. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film is scheduled for a 2014 release.

Night exposures / Noise reduction
The DSC-F717 now extends its automatic noise reduction for all shutter speeds slower (longer) than 1/25 sec. For long shutter speeds (such as 1 second or longer) the camera appears to implement a dark frame subtraction noise reduction, this works by taking an equally long 'dark frame' after the main exposure and using that to subtract 'hot pixel' noise from the image.
The DSC-F717 allows for timed exposures of up to 30 seconds with impressive results. There is no visible noise nor 'black pits' where the camera has removed hot pixels. Overall very impressive. I did do a couple of Night Shot tests of this scene but it is far too dark (even at ISO 800) to capture anything useful. Night Shot is really only useful where the Night Shot lamps can illuminate the subject.

Barrel and Pincushion Distortion
The F707's otherwise excellent lens did exhibit slight barrel distortion at full wide angle (38 mm equiv.), this isn't that surprising. At full telephoto (190 mm equiv.) pincushion distortion was measured as approximately 0.9% which is about what I'd expect of a 5 x lens and is actually a little better than the F505V.
1.1% Barrel Distortion at wide angle | 0.9% Pincushion Distortion at telephoto |
Purple Fringing (Chromatic Aberrations)
Like all long zoom lenses the F717 does exhibit some slight purple fringing (chromatic aberrations) but to be frank these are limited to shots taken at wide open apertures or long zoom. You'll need a strong bright object against a darker background too. In our experience the DSC-F717 didn't often exhibit easily noticeable chromatic aberrations.

Overall Image Quality / Specific Issues
The DSC-F717 repeatedly produced sharp, detailed images with great dynamic range and good automatic white balance (under natural light). Colours are definitely less saturated and more accurate than we saw on the DSC-F707 and for this Sony should get an extra Kudos. Colours are now accurate and still well saturated providing images which look good straight out of the camera with very little post-processing required. The F717's has a very good lens, this was clear when we reviewed the F707 and we're glad to see Sony has stuck with this great lens.
Unlike most digital cameras we review I had no specific image quality issues with the DSC-F717. Certainly we observed overly saturated reds on our pre-production DSC-F717 but I'm glad to report that these appear to have been addressed in the final production camera.

Comparing Multidimensional Poverty with Qualitative Indicators of Well-Being
This paper examines multidimensional stochastic dominance when one of the indicators of well-being, such as household size or place of residence, is qualitative. It also uses a test for strict dominance based on the empirical likelihood ratio. Empirical applications are based on the DHS (Demography and Health Surveys) for several countries in Western Africa. The results show the existence of multidimensional dominance relationships between most of these countries.

The revulsion that attended the revelation of Jimmy Savile's six-decade career of sexual predation is, in some quarters at least, giving way to weariness, even scepticism. As Operation Yewtree proceeds – and the list of long-standing media favourites accused of "historic" offences grows ever longer – the horror over Savile is turning to talk of witch-hunts and "things being different then".
Such complaints are as invidious as they are absurd. Not only is there no reason – legal or moral – for such crimes to "expire", particularly given the trauma that often results. Rape, sexual assault and child abuse were just as illegal in the 1960s as they are today. The times might indeed have been more "permissive" – for which read misogynist. But while that may explain why such behaviour went unchecked, it can neither excuse nor render it less criminal.
With Stuart Hall's admission of 14 counts of indecent assault against minors dating back 40 years, the notion that our new, post-Savile sensitivities are leading us to penalise what was, at the time, normal behaviour can, at least, be laid to rest. These were not the actions of a powerful figure in an earlier, more robust age. They were, as the prosecutor put it, the actions of an "opportunistic predator". Indeed, even the routine use of the word "historic" to describe the crimes now coming to light is to be queried. As the correspondence between one of Hall's victims and The Independent columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown makes heartbreakingly clear: these offences may be buried in the past for those who committed them, but they are rarely, if ever, left behind by their victims.
For too long, victims of sexual crimes have been shamed or intimidated into silence. A slight tilt in the cultural balance does not constitute a witch-hunt. Even if a rape was many years ago, it is still a rape.

Anyone familiar with Linux is probably familiar with virtual desktops. If you're not, download VirtuaWin and take a look. This utility takes your Windows desktop, clones it up to nineteen times, then lets you switch between them. The idea is to keep a set of related programs or documents on each desktop to help organize things for people who leave lots of applications and documents open.
VirtuaWin sits in the system tray where you access most functions, including the ability to define and switch between virtual desktops by right-clicking the little square VirtuaWin icon. You may also switch between desktops using hot keys, defined by default as Ctrl + Alt plus an arrow key. The left mouse button is used to move directly to, or bring to the current desktop currently open applications and documents.
You may have up to 20 desktops, but practically speaking most users will only create a few. Learning how to use VirtuWin isn't as easy as it could be--the developers don't seem to have spent a lot of time putting themselves in a new user's shoes. For instance, open the setup dialog, select the Hotkeys tab and a hotkey entry will read something like NAV: A + C + Left. An experienced user will know that the A and C must mean Alt and Ctrl, as well as W meaning the Windows key--a key lacking from many, many keyboards. However, a new user might sit there pressing the alpha keys wondering what they were doing wrong. There are also rules for Windows, which will be of interest only to techies with programming experience.
Steep learning curve aside, VirtuaWin works great and--for some--will work organizational wonders. If you're interested in virtual desktops, give it a whirl.

PRINT 13 Preview: Casting a Wider 'PRINT' Net
GRAPH EXPO 2012 Show.
Frank Defino Sr. is the founder and CEO of Tukaiz in Franklin Park, IL.
William (Bill) Fitzgerald is partner and CEO of Universal Wilde in Westwood, MA.
Robert Lothenbach is the founder and president of Imagine! Print Solutions in Minneapolis.
David Pilcher is the owner and president of Freeport Press in Freeport, OH.
This year's PRINT 13 trade show extravaganza emphasizes the trend toward the Great Diversification Movement being felt in the industry. Like a dynamic college football team, today's printer is expected to use a spread offense that provides a multitude of looks that can help your team outperform the opposition.
To take it a bit further, time of possession is critical. You don't want to turn jobs over to the opposition because a certain piece of equipment or capability is not in your playbook.
The quadrennial PRINT show comes at a most interesting time. The printing industry is enduring some violent changes from a technology standpoint. With the decade-long trend toward shorter runs continuing; digital printing, especially inkjet, stepping up its game; and electronic alternatives continuing to harvest market share, diversification is on the lips of many shop owners as they prepare their trek to Chicago for the Fall Classic, which takes place Sept. 8-12 at McCormick Place.
This show continues to take a page from today's printers by offering a program that is high on diversity and light on heavy iron. Gone are the days where an exhibit next to an offset press manufacturer's booth meant bringing a bottle of aspirin; the loud clatter of the 40˝ sheetfed beasts will not be piercing the air.
Nor will you be in danger of getting lost in a vendor's booth. Also gone is the time when a booth was the size of a junior college campus. In fact, the show is confined to a smaller footprint these days, notes Ralph Nappi, president of the Graphic Arts Show Co. (GASC), which runs PRINT and its sister exhibition, Graph Expo.
"The days of taking huge booths, just to appear big, are long gone," he says. "That's not just in the United States. At China Print, it was obvious that booths of noteworthy size were not to be found."

the thing about pau is, not only is he a top-5 strong forward, he's also one of the better backup centers in the league. if i remember correctly, one of the nerd blogs even determined last week or so that the lakers performed better with him at center than they did with howard, or with the combination of him and howard. not sure i'm buying that, but ... regardless, if the lakers traded pau, the backup center would be robert sacre.
As good as Hill has been, I don't think he fits in D'Antoni's system when either Pau or Howard are on the floor with him. Especially Howard. I think he should just be limited to foul trouble and garbage time minutes with Jamison getting all the minutes at 4 when Pau or Howard are off the floor.
Side note: Why is Meeks not starting over Morris? I understand that Meeks isn't a point guard, but it's not like Morris gives them anything. Put Meeks on the floor with your starting unit and let him spread the floor.
What's the downside to this? They already can't guard opposing point guards so they won't lose anything defensively. And you can still play Meeks with the 2nd unit for some offensive fire power by taking him out at the 6 minute mark for either Morris or Duhon's corpse.

Sony Ericsson Unveils PS3-compatible Phone
Aino can also synchronize with media files on your PC using Sony Ericsson's Media Go multimedia manager. As for the phone itself, Aino features an 8.1-megapixel camera with geotagging capability; 3G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity; a physical keypad; and a three-inch touchscreen.
Sony Ericsson, the world's fifth largest handset maker, has lost some of its market share as competition in the mid-market handset segment has increased. The company believes wireless operators are hungry for phones that can drive data usage without requiring huge subsidies. Given that interest in the company's years-old Sony-branded Cybershot camera phones and Walkman music phones has faded, Sony Ericsson now must find new models to renew interest in its brand. The Aino is one of three new phones the company hopes will help it make a comeback.
In February, Sony Ericsson announced the Satio (previously known as the Idou) at the Mobile World Congress show. The Satio has a 12-megapixel camera, a 3.5-inch widescreen touchscreen display, and runs on Symbian S60 5th edition. Satio users will also be able to play 3D and high-definition games on the handset as well as watch various types of media files.
Another new Sony Ericsson phone called the Yari contains accelerometers that can be used for motion controls with games similar to Nintendo's Wii controllers. The Yari has a 5-megapixel camera, assisted-GPS, instant messaging, and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support.
Expect the new phones to be available in select markets later this year, likely in the fourth quarter. No U.S. launch dates have been given, however, Jon Mulder, head of North American product marketing, did say "currently we do anticipate that these models will be unlocked in various channels in the U.S. We have yet to announce operator partnerships."
Sony Ericsson also plans to launch a virtual software applications store. The company plans to announce additional details concerning the store at next week's JavaOne Conference.

Black Diamond's Metcalf Named UVU's 2013 Business Ethics Award Honoree
March 12, 2013
For Immediate Release
University Marketing & Communications: Mike Rigert (801) 863-6807
Written by: Leah Aston (801) 863-5455
Peter Metcalf, lead founder and CEO of Black Diamond Inc., has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the Kirk Englehardt Business Ethics Award, an honor given by the Utah Valley University Center for the Study of Ethics and its advisory boards. Metcalf is the ninth recipient of this prestigious annual award.
Metcalf will be presented the award Tuesday, March 26, at 11:30 a.m. in the Sorensen Student Center's Ragan Theater by Ian Wilson, UVU vice president for academic affairs, and later, by President Matthew S. Holland. Metcalf will then speak on "Mission and Style: The 'Sustainable Why' Behind the 'What' in Business." Prior to the talk the community is invited to a free reception to personally introduce and honor Metcalf to members of the faculty, student body and public. The reception and talk are free and open to the public.
The Englehardt Excellence in Business Ethics Award is presented annually by the UVU president and Board of the Center for the Study of Ethics to an individual who displays exemplary ethics in their life, both professionally and personally.
"Peter Metcalf is one of the foremost leaders in outdoor recreation business strategy in the world today," said David Keller, director of UVU's Center for the Study of Ethics. "Metcalf understands that a company doesn't stand alone but belongs to a larger environmental community. He has tirelessly been a champion for this community."
Black Diamond (NASDAQ: BDE) is a leading global provider of outdoor recreation equipment and active lifestyle products. Black Diamond Inc. is the parent company of Gregory Packs, POC (Sweden), Pieps, (Austria) and Black Diamond Equipment, the company Metcalf co-founded in 1989 in Ventura, Calif., and moved to the Mill Creek area of Salt Lake City in 1991. The Engelhardt Excellence in Business Ethics award is one of many major awards he has received. Metcalf has also been named Small Business Person of the Year from Utah and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Metcalf, a former board member of the Outdoor Industry Association, was very influential in bringing the Outdoor Retailer trade show to Salt Lake over a dozen years ago (which brings $24 million in revenue to Utah annually).
The day-to-day production and sustainability practices at Black Diamond are only a small part of Metcalf's work. He has been profiled in articles for Inc. Magazine, Outside, Mountain and High Country News and authored numerous articles for national business, trade and environmental press. Metcalf has a long history of political advocacy for both the outdoor industry and the public lands of Utah, and has often united outdoor companies against policies that threaten public lands and outdoor recreation.
As the ninth recipient of the award, Metcalf joins past awardees Patricia Werhane, endowed chair at DePaul University; BYU-Idaho president Kim Clark; international corporate business developer Joel Peterson; Close to My Heart president and CEO Jeanette Lynton; Orin Woodbury, former president and CEO of Woodbury Corporation; David Ulrich, author, professor and CEO of RBL Group; Timothy P. Stratford, assistant U.S. Trade Representative for China Affairs, Office of the United States Trade Representative, Executive Office of the President; and Omar Kader, founder and CEO of PaL-Tech Inc., a government contracting firm that focuses on Training and Technical Assistance.
"Exemplary ethics demonstrate a sustained commitment to understanding the necessity of integrity and humanity in business pursuits. This individual demonstrates strengthening business ethics through fiscal responsibility, leadership, civic activity and personal example," Keller said. "We believe that Peter Metcalf goes beyond the necessary traits of Excellence in Business Ethics as a recipient of this award."
The award is named for local businessman Kirk R. Englehardt who died of cancer in 2003. An astute businessman, he was president of Businessman Planning and Investment Research Inc. for 24 years, specializing in securities and retirement investing. He also served during that time as a lobbyist and spokesman for the investment industry and testified before the U.S. Congress. Throughout his life he was known for his integrity, wisdom, intellect and commitment to honesty. His family helps the Center for the Study of Ethics sponsor this annual lecture in an effort to promote and strengthen awareness in business ethics.

Brane worlds may provide insight into the cosmological constant problem because a large vacuum energy on the brane can curve the extra dimensions rather than the local 4D spacetime. Moreover, such models with supersymmetric large extra dimensions reveal a tantalizing numerology, in which the size of the two extra dimensions can lead not only to the electroweak hierarchy but also to the observed dark energy scale. I will review this proposal, its promises and problems, and then describe some of the novel physics that can arise in 6D brane worlds. The dynamical stability of models in 6D supergravity constrains the matter content of the theory, but surprisingly this can be relaxed with negative tension branes. Meanwhile, the Kaluza-Klein mass gap can remain finite even in the infinite volume limit.

Kaley Cuoco looks like she was prepared for a chilly airplane when she arrived at LAX! 'The Big Bang Theory' star caught a flight. It looks like summer vacation has begun for Kaley. I wonder what she has planned for the hiatus?
TV actors are said to work long, grueling hours. They probably really need the summer break just to rejuvenate themselves. Kaley has a movie, 'Authors Anonymous,' listed in post-production on IMDb, but otherwise it looks like her calendar is open. Hopefully she's headed for a beach somewhere!

The Proportional Rule for Multi-Issue Bankruptcy Problems
We investigate how to extend bankruptcy rules to the more general setting in which agents' claims may refer to di erent issues. We consider two natural procedures and show that, among all bankruptcy rules, the proportional rule is the only one whose extensions according to the two procedures yield the same outcomes.

Ed Balls has urged schools in England to save energy by turning the heating down and lights off to save up to £750m to safeguard teaching jobs. If he has spoken to his cabinet counterpart Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, two objectives could have resolved.
The subtle reasoning to get schools to save £750m is the educational budgets are being reduced by £750m. If you achieve the first objective you maintain the status quo. If you fail your budget is reduced. Ouch either way!
There are schemes overseas which provide schools with more positive help. In Australia the government provides an AUS$ 50,000 grant towards installing a solar energy system in schools. This has five objectives:
- Educational benefits in understanding renewable energy in science and maths with the system performance seen on a large digital display.
- Cost reduction in energy used offset by the solar panels.
- Opportunity to sell the excess energy generated back to the national grid during summer holidays.
- Science and maths experiments in adjusting the angle of incidence of the sun and monitoring output and power curves.
- Lastly, and critically the most significant. It introduces children to the concept of renewal energy. They are great at promoting green energy to parents, and of course will inherit the mess we have created so far. Learning in disguise, it's what education is all about
What a missed educational opportunity by the Schools secretary. Joined up education that could have given a great incentive to schools and inevitably funded by the power and solar industry.
