Gordhan Says ANC Doesn't Need Populist Budget to Win Vote
Rene Vollgraaff and Mike CohenSouth African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said the ruling African National Congress is assured of about 60 percent support in next year's election and he doesn't need to take populist measures in his budget to win votes for the party.
"We don't have to engage in that kind of conduct in order to attract votes," he said in an interview in Cape Town yesterday. "Over the years we have had programs in the place which appealed to different constituencies."
Gordhan presented his mid-term budget in Parliament yesterday that pledged to cut perks for government ministers, provincial premiers and mayors, including on transport, housing and entertainment. The comments were met with cheers by lawmakers and welcomed by labor unions and opposition parties, who have criticized government leaders for excessive spending.
The ANC has won every election since the first multiracial one in 1994 with more than 60 percent of the vote. The ANC is facing challenges next year from a raft of new parties, including a breakaway faction led by former youth leader Julius Malema.
The mid-term budget is a "pre-election one," because it aims to curb wasteful spending and makes no mention of higher taxes, AJ Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen, a tax partner at Grant Thornton in Johannesburg, said in an e-mailed statement. "This is a very politically targeted budget with initiatives announced that will resonate with the larger voting public."
The rand gained 0.3 percent to 9.7622 against the dollar as of 9:07 a.m. in Johannesburg, trimming its decline this year to 13 percent.
Welfare Grants
Gordhan, 64, was elected in December to the ANC's national executive council, the top decision-making body of the ruling party.
The ANC appeals to a range of voters because of its spending on welfare grants for the poor, affirmative action policies that have helped fuel a growing black middle class and favorable taxes for businesses, Gordhan said.
"For the large number of people in the lower income ranks and the poverty ranks, we've had the social grants that have made a huge difference in their lives and people appreciate the fact that it is supporting them," he said. "The investments we made in education, housing, health, are all part of that 57% of social wage that we commit to South Africans as part of both making people comfortable now, but overcoming the legacies as well."
Wage Subsidy
Gordhan said he will introduce a bill in Parliament to subsidize wages for new entrants to the labor market, a program that's been opposed by the ANC's labor ally, the Congress of South African Trade Unions. The federation called the proposed law an "attack on the security of employment of workers" in an e-mailed statement on Oct. 16.
"Within the government and the ANC broadly we have a set of policies which is consistent with what the ANC is, which is a broad church," Gordhan said. "At this point in time we will do what we have to do to make sure that the economy grows and we run a good, tight fiscal ship."
National and provincial elections in South Africa are set to take place by July next year. Gordhan said it's too early to say whether he will remain in his post after the vote.

AMOBARBITAL (Amytal®) is a barbiturate that slows down activity of the brain and nervous system. Amobarbital has both sedative and hypnotic properties which means it will help you to relax and sleep. Amobarbital can help produce relaxation and drowsiness before surgery. Amobarbital also can help reduce or control seizures (convulsions). It is not for the long-term control or prevention of seizures. Federal law prohibits the transfer of amobarbital to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Do not share your medicine with anyone else. Generic amobarbital injections are available.
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
an alcohol or drug abuse problem
breathing difficulties or lung disease
attempted suicide
heart disease
liver disease
low blood pressure
mental depression or mental problems
an unusual or allergic reaction to amobarbital, other barbiturates, medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
Amobarbital is for injection into a muscle or into a vein. It is given by a health-care professional in a hospital or clinic setting.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
Elderly patients over age 65 years may have a stronger reaction to this medicine and need smaller doses.
This does not apply.
female hormones, including contraceptive or birth control pills
medicines for anxiety or sleeping problems
medicines for hay fever and other allergies
medicines for high blood pressure
medicines for mental depression
medicines for pain
medicines that help the heart to beat regularly
seizure (convulsion) or epilepsy medicine
steroid medicines such as prednisone or cortisone
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
Your condition will be monitored closely if you are receiving amobarbital for an immediate need. If you do receive amobarbital regularly, visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress.
After receiving amobarbital you may get a residual hangover effect that leaves you drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how amobarbital affects you. To reduce dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit or stand up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. Alcohol can increase possible unpleasant effects. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Amobarbital can stop birth control pills (oral contraceptives) working properly. Use another method of birth control while you are using amobarbital.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are receiving amobarbital.
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
bone tenderness
confusion, agitation, changes in mood, or mental ability
eye problems, very small or enlarged centers to the eyes
lightheadedness, fainting spells
fever, sore throat
redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of the skin, including inside the mouth
shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
skin rash, itching, hives
slow heartbeat
swelling of the face or lips
unusual bleeding or bruising; pinpoint red spots on the skin
unusual tiredness or weakness
weight loss
yellowing of skin or eyes
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
clumsiness, unsteadiness, or a "hangover" effect
difficulty sleeping or nightmares
drowsiness, dizziness
irritability, nervousness
nausea or vomiting
pain, redness or irritation at the injection site
Keep out of the reach of children.

After "The Vampire Diaries" Season 5 finale on Thursday (May 15), fans were left with questions.
Like, a lot of questions. A lot of big questions, about the fate of some very important characters — living, dead, or somewhere in between life and death. Thankfully, executive producer Julie Plec provided some answers (and some non-answers) to make the long summer wait a little easier until we get new episodes of "The Vampire Diaries" in the fall.
Damon and Bonnie's fate
Plec tells EW that while the Other Side is definitely gone for good, Damon and Bonnie's fates are a little less clear at the moment. "I think the ending of the episode is meant to be left up deliberately for speculation of what exactly did happen to them. I can say for certain the Other Side is gone for good, and I can say for certain that when The Other Side disappeared for good that they had already been dealt with — whether it's through finding peace or other means. Outside of that [laughs], I think I'll let the speculation blow around a little while longer."
As for whether or not fans will still see Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham on the show, Plec had this to day: "We will definitely see Ian Somerhalder and Kat Graham on the show. I mean, there's a million different ways that you can do that. But as far as in what context — how, why, and where? — that's part of the mystery."
Just because Lexi is truly gone for good now, that doesn't mean we won't see her on the show again. It just won't be in present time. "Lexi is great in our flashbacks and part of Stefan's life, all the way from 1864 on, so we might see Arielle [Kebbel] again as Lexi in the past," Plec says.
Who found peace vs. who got sucked into oblivion
Plec tells TVLine that there is a difference between those that got sucked away on the Other Side, and those that found peace in that white light. "We don't like to say things like 'heaven' and 'hell' on our show, but anybody can define what they saw the way they want to define it," Plec says. "I can say that Lexi, in my heart, found peace, and I believe the same is true for Grams. I definitely know that Silas and Markos and everybody else is definitely gone for good. As for Damon and Bonnie, the question is: What happened to them? What did they find?"
Tyler's supernatural status
When Tyler came back from the Other Side, he realized he was no longer a hybrid. So what is he? "What got stripped away from him when he got thrown over the border were the elements that made him both vampire and triggered-werewolf. So he is back to being a boy with a werewolf gene," Plec says. "And so it puts him in a really interesting predicament next year because it's almost like a do-over in a good way, but also a scary way. Now with that comes that testosterone, needing to work out his aggressions, and find way to not lose his s***, so to speak, so that he doesn't re-trigger the curse [laughs]. I think after having gone through everything he went through, re-triggering the werewolf curse would be possibly a fate worse than death at this point."
But Plec reveals some good news for Tyler to THR. "I'm excited about Tyler's storyline this year," Plec says. "It's time for him to find somebody new to love, because one thing that can help us with the darkest parts inside ourselves is the light of love, so I'm looking forward to exploring that with him."
As for the rest of the newly-returned supernatural souls …
But Tyler's case is the exception, since he died as a boy with a werewolf gene after the spell stripped him of magic. The rest of them — Stefan, Elena, Enzo, etc. — are still vampires. And that means Alaric is still an Original vampire, though less evil than when he died.
"He's still a super Original, and I think if anybody doesn't want to be that, it's Alaric," Plec says. "We never really got to see him deal with having become a vampire, because Esther had gotten in his head and screwed with his brain so badly that he just kind of became the villain with no conscience. So now this is our favorite sexy teacher back in our lives and having to hide the fact that [laughs] A) he's this weird, weird breed of vampire and B) he's not particularly sure if he likes it. So it'll be a good story for him."
Plus, Alaric might be getting a love interest next season, complicating his vampire status even more. "I think as we watched Alaric struggle with living the hidden life of a vampire, wouldn't it be nice if a woman entered his life who he had interest in, that he had to hide that from?" Plec says. "You get a little fun Stefan-and-Elena stuff in Season 1 with Alaric, who is trying to get his life together."
Enzo: Good or evil?
And as for Enzo, Plec reveals he's not done causing trouble on the show. "Oh, Enzo's not making any friends," Plec says. "The beauty of Enzo is that we find him delightful, but he doesn't need any friends. He definitely is a thorn in a couple people's side, and will continue to be so in that delicious, devilish way that he has."

We are pleased to announce some great progress toward post production of SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES since our last report in May. The funds received through Global Giving have helped to pay for several pending licenses, audio processing, plus entry into a couple festivals. Fund raising will continue through the Global Giving platform as we work to bring this important educational documentary film project coast to coast.
General news:
In June over 5,000 equestrian fans learned about SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES at the "No Place Like Hope - Hoe Down", where we delivered an inspirational presentation focused on the need to protect America's horses. Guests were also able to meet and greet members of the Saving America's Horses team at our educational booth. We also presented special sneak peeks of the film at the Malibu Equestrian Art Show and to Pasadena's horseracing fans in June.
Just last month, Madeleine Pickens joined the cast of speakers in SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES A NATION BETRAYED. As the founder of Mustang Monument in Nevada, Madeleine brings a fresh look at the prospect of preserving wild horses on America's open rangelands.
In July, we released a brand new PSA, "Justice for America's Horses" to help raise awareness about the reality of horse slaughter. The SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES url is provided at the end of the PSA so that viewers can learn more about this important project. The spot is currently viewable through our website and on Youtube; http://www.savingamericashorses.org/justiceforamericashorses.html Sponsorship is currently sought to enable a wider distribution of this PSA.
Also in July, WFLF's SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES was named a Top 5 Regional Finalist for Animal Advocacy in the Annual CLASSY Awards. Recognized for Awakening the Moral Fabric Of Humanity, "WFLF's award winning film project stood out as one of the best of the best!" - The StayClassy Team.
WILD FOR LIFE FOUNDATION also recently received the GuideStar Exchange Seal; a leading symbol of transparency and accountability provided by GuideStar USA, Inc., the premier source of nonprofit information. The Seal demonstrates to WFLF's vast support-base our deep commitment to nonprofit transparency and accountability.
About this project:
SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES has won multiple international awards through the festival circuit where it is currently being showcased, however to bring this film to public release, funds must be raised to pay for post production expenses. The fund raising goal for this project is currently set at $35,000, which will pay for many expenses like transcription, color correction, digital processing, final audio mix, digital cinema distribution master, subtitles, film rating, legal, shipping, printing and general fees.
We are honored for the opportunity to raise awareness for SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES through the GlobalGiving fund raising platform.
Thank you for your continued kind and generous support for this important project.
With gratitude,
Katia Louise

Manhattan Borough President Wants to Turn Stalled Construction Sites into Sustainable Public Spaces
by Will Giron, 09/28/11
Did you know that there are currently more than 600 stalled construction sites in New York City? And according to the Department of Buildings, due to a slumping commercial real estate industry, many of these lots won't be worked on anytime soon. But Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is looking to turn these abandoned lots into farmers' markets, cafes, and arts spaces, effectively turning these ugly eye sores into lively public spaces.
"New York should be encouraging such projects and follow the lead of cities like Seattle, which have passed laws that streamline approvals for temporary uses," said Stringer in a Gothamist report. "Imagine a city where stalled construction sites are not simply inactive, dead vacant lots, but one where they boost the health and vitality of a neighborhood. That's the kind of sidewalk renaissance we need in New York City."
According to Stringer's 'Arrested Development' report, 37 percent of stalled sites had problems with litter, 60 percent had fencing that was in disrepair or vandalized, and half of the sites had sidewalk obstructions. Stringer has created a website identifying stalled construction sites and is asking local residents to send in photos of stalled sites near them. Stringer is also pushing for legislation that would allow property owners and local government to create temporary public spaces on private property.
Transforming stalled construction sites into mixed used spaces is not a new concept. The Riverpark Restaurant has created a farm on a stalled site, and Lentspace on Varick and Canal Street has also been transformed into an exhibition space for artists. This summer, a lot on 30th Street near the High Line functioned as an outdoor café, skating rink, and outdoor space for pop-up installations.
It is quite surprising to see the abundance of markers when you first look at Stringer's map of stalled construction sites in Manhattan. A majority of the sites are centered around Downtown, and one can only imagine how this map would look if stalled construction sites from all five boroughs were added. That being said, efforts should be made across the city to transform many of these vacant lots in order to help revitalize the city.

It was a disturbing picture for the Lincoln Interfaith Council. It's former director, Norman Leach, walking into court accused of sexually assaulting a young boy. The new interim director Bill Caldwell says, its time for the community to heal. "There are people who are disappointed and there are people who are angry. I think it's important that we address the victims some how and facilitate their healing."
Board President, Rev. Jay Vetter says it is important for the Interfaith Council to keep its vision clear. "We are a group that offers services which foster faith and justice."
Caldwell says the Council expects to have a new director within six to eight months. He's says he's open to the possibility of becoming the new director if the opportunity presented itself.

(b) Modification of an order that awards visitation privileges may be reconsidered on a motion for modification if the court first makes a preliminary finding that the following factors are present:
(1) Visitation was based, in whole or in part, on a schedule or guidelines;
(2) The party petitioning for modification has consistently exercised or attempted to exercise the ordered visitation;
(3) The visitation provisions of the order sought to be modified have been in effect for less than five years; and
(4) The facts as alleged in the motion, if taken as true, would result in a parenting plan that is substantially different from the result reached by application of the visitation schedule or guidelines that the prior order was based on.
(c) If the court makes a preliminary finding that the factors described in subsection (b) of this section are present, the case shall proceed under the provisions of this article to establish a parenting plan: Provided, That in no case shall the parent petitioning for modification of a prior order of visitation be allocated more than fifty percent of the custodial responsibility.

SUFFRAGISTS' CONVENTION Will Be Occasion of Much Activity by Women. Social Events For Visitors Are to Be Made Important Feature of the Gathering. As the time for the annual meeting of the Tennessee Equal Suffrage convention draws near, interest in the event increases. It is thought, by all in touch with the suffrage movement in this state that the 1914 convention, to be held in this City October 28, 29 and 30, will be the most successful ever conducted in Tennessee, and a large attendance from all sections of the state is expected. The Nashville delegation will be the largest. It will consist of about twenty women, who will come to this city in a special Pullman. Mrs. Guilford Dud- ley, president of the. Nashville league and a social leader at the Tennessee cap- ital, will lead the delegation. Maria Thompson Daviess, the well-known author, will also be in the party from Nashville. A large delegation is also expected from Chattanooga, several will come from Jackson, and a number from Mor- ristown and other East Tennessee cities. The Hotel Imperial is to be convention headquarters, and the day sessions will be held in the convention room at that hotel. The evening sessions will be in Market hall. It was first announced that the sessions of the convention would he held In the Lyceum building, but it has been decided that the assembly room of the Woman's building is too small. The morning sessions will be devoted to business, and although the public will be admitted, these sessions will not be of general interest. The afternoon sessions will be interesting, but the night sessions have been planned with the idea of making the suffrage movement of more interest to the general public. At these evening sessions addresses will be made by national speakers and prominent suffrage speakers of Tennessee. Gentlemen are especially invited to attend the evening sessions. All sessions of the convention will be presided over by Mrs. L. Crozier-French, of Knoxville, president of the Tennessee association. Besides the prominent Tennessee suf- fragists who will be in attendance, sev- eral national workers will be present. The national board sends representatives to each state convention, and several women with national reputations as speakers will be heard here. Chief among these are Miss Alice Paul, of Washington, D. C, president of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage; Mrs. Medill McCormick, of Chicago, chairman of the congressional committee of the National Woman's Suffrage association, and Mrs. Ernest Seaton-Thompson, wife of the author-naturalist, who is chairman of the program committee of the National Suffrage as- sociation. Besides the sessions of the convention, a number of social events have been planned. On the evening of Wednesday, October 28. following the opening session, a reception will be held in the parlors of the Imperial. On the afternoon of Thursday, October 29, Ossoli circle will entertain at the Lyceum building for the delegates to the convention. "This affair is to be given in special compliment to Mrs. French, who is the founder of Ossoli and is president of the Tennessee Suffrage association. Each afternoon of the convention some social courtesy will be tendered the visitors, and the convention will be the occasion of unusual club and social activity in Knoxville. The first session of the convention will be held on the evening of Wednesday, October 28, at eight o'clock, when ad- dresses of welcome, with responses, will be made. An address will then follow by Mrs. Mediil McCormick, of Chicago. Thursday afternoon, addresses will be made by Miss Alice Paul and Miss Maria Thompson Daviess. Following are the officers of the state aissociation: President—Mrs. L. Crozier-French. Vice President—Mrs. James M. Mc- Cormack. Memphis. Vice President Middle Tennessee Miss Maria T. Daviess. Jackson. Vice President West Tennessee—Mrs. G. H. Robertson, Nashville. Vice President East Tennessee — (Withdrawn). Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Perkins Baxter, Nashville. Recording Secretary—Miss Sue White, Jackson. Treasurer—Miss C. J. Wester. Chattanooga.

Prince Paul (Paul Huston) is a legend in the world of hip hop who was originally part of the early 80s rap outfit Stetsasonic and later went on to create the iconic sounds of early De La Soul albums, the Gravediggaz project (with RZA), Handsome Boy Modeling School (with Dan the Automator), as well as a series of solo albums. As a collaborative guru for music production, Paul has worked with great musicians from almost every genre including Alec Empire, Linkin Park, Faith No More's Mike Patton, Living Colour's Vernon Reid, and Parliament keyboardist Bernie Worrell (to name just a few). Prince Paul's calling card on almost all his productions is an intelligent (yet sometimes silly) sense of humor that sits right behind the boom-bap beats that have made his music so popular.
Paul's most recent collaborator is none other than his son, DJ Pforreal, a young performer who has obviously inherited his father's sense of humor as well as a knack for beat creation and lyrical delivery. Their initial project together, Negroes on Ice, is a comedy / music album that blends music and storytelling into a "hilarious, head-nodding listening experience." In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Prince Paul explains that much of the album comes from stories that his son would tell him when he was a child. "He would come up with these outrageous things that I knew (weren't) true, but I couldn't get mad at him because they were just so dumb. And I knew he was lying, but he would just go on and on about it to where it would start to become entertaining." When asked about the format of combining music and comedy together, Paul explained further. "If you've ever watched Adult Swim, it's very bizarre and antic and makes you scratch your head, like, 'What is this silly thing?' But this is actually put into a story."

MIAMI -- Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose wants to make one thing clear as he gets set to play against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night in his first regular-season game in more than a year and a half.
"I think I'm way better as a player," Rose said before Tuesday's shootaround. "My IQ has gotten higher and just the way that I play I think I'm a more efficient player. And my teammates allow me to play the way I normally play, so that's a blessing."
Rose was dominant during the preseason and demonstrated a long-range shooting touch he didn't have consistently before the injury. He also says he has gained five inches on his vertical leap since having reconstructive surgery on his left knee in May 2012.
He is not showing much nervousness as he gets set to face off against the reigning NBA champions.
"Just having fun," Rose said. "It's a regular game to me. Going out here, doing something. I've been missing this game for a whole year, so [I'm] coming out here enjoying myself and playing this game that I love playing."
Like Rose, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is trying to take things in stride.
"It's just the next step," Thibodeau said before the game. "I thought he prepared himself well for training camp. He handled the preseason games well. And now we begin the journey."
Rose also doesn't want to make any predictions regarding another MVP award. Rose famously asked before the start of the 2010-11 season, "Why can't I be MVP of the league?" This time around he is focused on a bigger prize.
"I'm just trying to play the game," he said. "Of course, I would want to come out here and be the best player, but my goal is to just come out here and try to win a championship."
As for the Heat, Rose took LeBron James' comments in stride regarding the rivalry between the Bulls and Heat. James said Monday, "We don't like them, they don't like us. It's not unheard of. We all know how it is."
"It's just competing," Rose said. "Of course, they've got something that we want, so for us we can't hold back, we got to keep going. For them, they have great players on their team where they're trying to three-peat. They won two already so it's a little bit of a rivalry there.
"I think the competitiveness in all of us -- it leads to this. Where you feel like you hate one another but you're just trying to get the same things."
Rose was appreciative of the fact James and Heat teammate Dwyane Wade said recently they were happy to have him back in the league, but the 25-year-old is just trying to focus on trying to make his team better.
"It feels good when them type of players say good stuff about you," Rose said. "But I can't get caught up into that. I'm just worrying about what's going on with the Chicago Bulls."

Emanuel Ax Plays Bach and Schoenberg with the New York Philharmonic and Alan Gilbert…and Mozart's "Linz" Symphony
I was so delighted by Emanuel Ax's performance of Schoenberg's Piano Concerto with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra under Ken-David Masur that I didn't want to miss an opportunity to hear him play it again. They created a crystalline texture with their alert interactions, with all the incisiveness of the best chamber music playing. Not exactly what one associates with the New York Philharmonic, as excellent an orchestra as they have been, since Kurt Masur's t years, but, in my experience, Alan Gilbert is strong with twentieth century Music, and it seemed like a promising combination to say the least…and it did work, although in a way quite different from the Tanglewood performance.
Not Maverick Enough? San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas performing at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, in the "American Mavericks" Festival
Michael Tilson Thomas's "American Mavericks" concerts came to New York, centered on four programs at Carnegie Hall with the superb San Francisco Symphony, surrounded by a whirl of fringe events throughout the city. This was a bold and appropriate way to show not only the versatility and virtuosity of the orchestra but also the evolution of orchestral culture in the United States: the works were played as modern classics, with the ideal combination of polish and bite that they call for. The audience has clearly evolved along with the orchestras: Carnegie Hall was close to full with a healthy mixture of grey and not-so-grey heads intently focused on the music. So accomplished and appealing were the performances that even the Feldman work, probably the most novel work on the program, held audience attention effortlessly through its 26-plus minute duration.
Mozart and Yellow Warblers: Recent Performances of the Piano Concertos on Disc (Part I of a Series)
While spending almost twenty years closely listening to Bach's more than two hundred cantatas bewildered some of my friends would decry my project and say, "They all sound alike – how can you tell them apart?" These people, sophisticated music lovers who simply did not care for the Bach vocal repertory, refused to admit they glossed over these works in a superficial way. To my ears, of course, each and every cantata had uniqueness that clearly articulated it from the rest of the pack. Yes, there were many structural similarities, and Bach's musical language is the unifying tongue, but, to say Bach's cantatas all sounded alike seemed heretical, born of inferior taste and auditory skills. Years later, when I started watching birds, I came upon the family of yellow warblers, illustrated in Roger Tory Peterson's definitive field guide. Boggled by the subtle markings which distinguish these birds, it seemed that page after page pictured the same damned bird, and I recalled my friends' remarks about Bach's vocal works.
Emanuel Ax plays Schubert, Mostly Late, at Tully Scope
The first evening of Tully Scope devoted to the classical music of the past was no less adventurous than the first two concerts, which revolved around the work of Morton Feldman, who was one of the great musical adventurers of his generation. Emanuel Ax, a fastidious piano virtuoso who combines impeccable taste and restraint with a deep respect for the classics, is fairly new to late Schubert, as I understand. The late piano sonatas in particular, works of grand scope, rich harmony, and deep feeling, offer little in the way of purely pianistic attractions to show off Mr. Ax's fluent technique. I almost feared that his mastery of the keyboard might even get in the way of Schubert's music. These moving performances, on the contrary, went beyond mere elegance and delved deeply into the heart of Schubert's writing. Emanuel Ax did indeed approach the music as a pianist, but, as always for him, the music came first, and that led him in new directions, which he navigated in a way entirely his own.

Meeting Description: | The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Inaugural European Conference on Language Learning, to be held from July 18-21, 2013, at the Brighton Thistle Hotel, Brighton, England. http://www.ecll.iafor.org email@example.com Conference theme: 'Shifting Paradigms: Informed Responses' Over the past years, education has seen many shifts in the areas of teaching methodology, assessment, and use of technology; to mention a few. Learner-centered classrooms, collaboration, and transformative education focus on process in addition to content. These are just a few of the changes that have occurred. Education reform is everywhere as teachers and administrators attempt to create schools and classes for the 21st century. To do our jobs properly, we need to be aware of these changes. And as language educators we need to show how language learning and teaching can help achieve the goals of the future. We invite language educators, administrators, policy makers, and others to join us at ECLL 2013 as we share what we are doing in our classrooms and at our schools to respond to the shifts happening around us. |

The answer, at long last, is yes. We've been to see the naked people.
Marina Abramović's retrospective at MoMA, The Artist Is Present, features video footage of past performances and live re-creations with, you guessed it, people sans drawers. Above, a woman sneaks through a doorway flanked by two nudes. In the related footage, taken when Abramović and her then-partner Ulay originally performed the piece, attendees barreled through, with no regard for what they brushed against. While we were there, people moved far more squeamishly, in contrast to recent articles reporting that some MoMA visitors had been taking liberties with the artists.
Elsewhere two artists sat back to back, their long hair woven into a single braid. A video played nearby, of Ulay and Abramović walking toward one another from opposite ends of the Great Wall of China; when they met, they shook hands and broke up. In another room, a naked woman sat high on a wall, resting on a bicycle seat, her arms outstretched. She made eye contact with one of us. We, in turn, looked back. Her eyes were brown.

Agree with your take on Shultz. But with regard to Django, I don't think at the beginning of the story he had any use for any white man. Schultz broke through that barrior. I honestly thought that Django had something close to love for Schults in the end. So, I do think Django had some growth.
I don't think the dog scene was any kind of turning point for Schultz; he had just never seen anything as brutal and horrific as that before, and was no longer able to hide his revulsion.
With Django's feelings towards white men. I ask, can you blame him? From what little we got of his past, white men had been nothing but cruel to him. So we do see some of Django's perplexed reactions almost from when he first meets Schultz that the dentist is something else all together than the white men that Django has dealt with. I wouldn't consider it breaking through a barrier, as if the onus was on Django and not the white men who had enslaved and brutalized him. Also, Schultz wasn't above using Django's slave status for his own ends, despite his abolitionist leanings. So even there, there was some exploitation from another white man. But Schultz's other treatment of Django, as an equal and partner, did elicit an emotional response in return, or that's the way I saw it when he touched Schultz's corpse in the barn before grabbing Broomhilda's freedom papers. Once again, I'm not sure how much that registered as a change in Django. His main objective was to get his wife back. Schultz was going to help him do that, so Schultz was useful to him. Schultz needed help in the bounty hunting business, so he needed Django. It was a mutually beneficial relationship, relatively speaking. But Schultz never changed from his abolitionist stance and Django never changed from wanting his wife back. If there were any changes, there were not major ones, but of degree. Perhaps Schultz, pre-Django had been willing to live with the evils of slavery, but after meeting Django and Broomhilda, was more willing to confront it head on. His abolitionist feelings increased, but does that constitute a character arc? Same with Django, he did have some feeling-of friendship, companionship-for Schultz. Even though white men had been cruel to him, I can't say it was beyond his capacity to not have some kind of fraternal feeling for any white man pre-Schultz. But meeting this white man that he could trust, that laid his life down on the line after buying Broomhilda's freedom (though his actions imperiled that freedom), certainly had an affect on him, but does that equate to a character arc?
Well, I didn't say Django's feelings about Shuultz at the end represented a "character arc". I said that it represented "some growth" (in the Django character), and it did. Django probably didn't think he had the capacity to actually love and respect a white man, but in the end found out that he did because of his relationship with Schultz.
^ I don't think that capacity or lack thereof was ever really evident in the film. He did come to respect and trust Schultz but there wasn't much explored that said that that would be impossible for Django to do before hand. We can assume that Django would have major trust issues with white males, and wisely so, but I can't say that that is supported by what we saw in the film.
No, we didn't her Django state that he he (now) loved a white man but that scene where he kissed his hand and touched Schultz' body, I think, said it all. Django was a slave, a field slave, the lowliest of the low. His presumed contempt and mistrust for white people, men in particular, needs no explanation or much illustration. Schultz helps Django free himself from slavery and hone the skils that would help Django stay free himself and save his wife's life. Schultz, who hates the evil that is slavery and therefore slaveowners, proves it by killing one knowing full well he will likely die for what he has done. He essentially died for his ideals. I don't think there is much reason to wonder about how Django feels about white men at the beginning of the movie and no reason to qestion or doubt his feelings about at least one white man at the end of the movie. Understand, I'm not saying Django's view of white people/men changed by the end of the movie, but he finds out in the end that he does have the capacity to care for a white man. That, to me, represents "some" growth at least.
So, I just watched the movie, and while I loved the first ~2 hours, I really have a problem with the ending. Am I missing some deeper metaphorical message or what or was it supposed to be a fairy tale or something? It felt really kind of out of touch with the rest of the movie, almost like a dream sequence. Imo the movie should have either ended with Schultz shaking Candie's hand and walking out of there with Django and Broomhilda or with all three of them dead right there after Schultz shoots Candie. It made absolutely no sense for Django to be "punished" the way he was, without even any supervision by some of Candyland's overseers. An "uppity" black guy who causes the death of a very prominent white man and numerous other white guys in Mississippi in 1858 just being sold to some mining company like that is absurd. And yes, there was this speech by Stephen, but that made no sense either; castrating Django would've just been the start of his punishment. Very strange. I'm just not sure wether the ending was shit or I'm just missing some nuance Tarantino was going for there.
Without the ending, it isn't Django Unchained, it's Dr. King Schultz: Dentist Bounty Hunter and his Valet Django. Up until the end sequence, the movie is about a German hero who buys a black slave, frees the other slaves, shows his slave bounty hunting, uses his slave, frees his slave, teaches him some German mythology, teaches him how to shoot, speak, read, and dress, and then formulates a plan to free his former slaves wife. With the end sequence Django is once again enslaved, but is now able to make his own opportunity to escape, take the opportunity he made, free not only himself but the other slaves, formulate his own plan of attack and implement it by killing the trackers once they are isolated and then lying in wait to kill the plantation staff, the plantation mistress, and the head house slave, and free his wife. Without the end sequence, Django never becomes himself.
True. But then they should have killed Schultz sooner, maybe immediately after Candie discovering his deception and let Django do the rest. Or at least have Django escape in some way that's less hard to believe.
I had a feeling the blood was real and that DiCaprio just went with it. What tipped me off was that they didn't show how he'd injured his hand. Great movie, overall. Dragged a bit in the middle, but apart from that I enjoyed it quite a lot. Loved how Samuel L. Jackson channeled Tuco there at the end. You just can't beat the ending of The Good the Bad an the Ugly.
I was thinking about that scene a little and maybe it's overplayed to show that Django sees these guys in a different light than at the beginning of the picture. Now that he's been free he sees these guys for the clowns they are. (Maybe? Just a thought anyway...)
I finally saw "Django Unchained" last week and thought it was brilliant. I will say that I adore the original script more, and thus looking forward to the comic (issue one was pretty awesome) but this was terrific. There were some magnificent performances in this film, particularly from Foxx, Waltz, DiCaprio (Leo didn't get a nom, I was sure he would finally win his Oscar), and Sam Jackson. Kerry Washington was great as Broomhilda. The soundtrack is probably my favourite since "Kill Bill". I will be buying the Blu-Ray for sure and am looking forward to what QT does after this...maybe "Killer Crows" if he doesn't change his mind to finish off his "Revenge Trilogy".
I take issue with your description of a field slave being the lowest of the low. Even within the context of the film, Django mentions black slavers as being the lowest of the low. That being said, I think it does matter how Django would feel about white men at the beginning of the film, as opposed to how he might feel about white men at the end, or Schultz at least, if you contend that that represented growth for his character. We did see Django and Schultz become friends over the course of the film. But there was nothing in the film that showed us that Django didn't have that capacity beforehand to establish friendships with whites. Granted, I doubted that occurred but I can't say that it didn't. Django was distrustful of whites and vengeful against those that had done him, Broomhilda, or Schultz harm, but outside of that we didn't get much about his thoughts about white males.
You would think that Django would've been ripped apart after the shoot out at Candyland, but I think that Stephen's speech was very important. To me, I saw Stephen as a manipulator, of both Candies. It's a very subversive idea, or thought on my part perhaps, but I saw Stephen in many ways running the plantation. Despite his slave status, Stephen took a lot of liberties that you-at least-I wouldn't have expected a slave, even a house slave, to do. He hid behind some clownish, servile behavior and his old age, but right off the bat he was challenging Candie, he was bossing the overseers, he's the one that tipped Candie off to the plan (and remember how he was casually sitting in a parlor chair, drinking a brandy), and he's the one that planted the idea in Candie's sister's mind to sell Django off. So even though I have mixed feelings about Django not taking out Candie instead of Schultz, his final confrontation with Stephen made sense to me because he was sort of the mastermind behind Candyland, IMO. Stephen had taken the lemons he was given due to birth and status and subverted them to gain a position of power and influence at Candyland. Of course, "rising" through the ranks in a slave system made him just as monstrous as Candie and other white slave owners. Nor did it really shield him from all the realities of being a slave. It is notable that Stephen telling Candie what's really going on was done behind closed doors, in keeping with the racial customs and reinforcing the idea of white supremacy. And if Candie wanted to shut Stephen down at any time, he could, so Stephen trod carefully. I agree with those who felt that ending was the right way to go. I could've seen the film ending with Django's capture and the audience could all imagine the horrors that would occur next with Django and Broomhilda. But it wouldn't have been as satisfying or cathartic if we didn't see Django get his full revenge or accomplish his goal of freeing Broomhilda. I also agree with the idea that the ending helped Django come fully into his own. We got to see him doing things solo for once, setting up and executing a plan without Schultz, and I think that's one of the things that helped establish Django as a man/hero in his own right, without someone holding his hand or guiding him.
The real truth of Django's feelings for Schultz comes in that scene, not from Django's actions, but from his choice of words; "Auf wiedersehen". Very poignant after we'd just heard Schultz explain it's literal meaning ("Til we meet again") to Candie.
Damn.. that's all i can say about Django Unchained. A short while ago today i saw it and i honestly can't remember when nearly 3 hours flew by so fast (even with the 15 minute intermission which i haven't experienced in a long time at the movies), not even with the Lord of the Rings movies where i was gripped by the story and visuals but still was aware of the time it took to tell the story. Django is so chock full of Tarantino style.. it's glorious and brilliant and may be the best movie he made in his life and most of his movies are grouped so tight near the top spot that it's hard to choose. This one had it all.. funny, gore, action, gripping dialogue, drama and outstanding actors led by a man who knew exactly what he wanted. I nearly blacked out twice during the movie from laughing so hard.. first one was the Ku Klux Klan scene and then the big shootout near the end which was so over the top it was just amazing and hilarious. Music choices are genius as always with Tarantino movies and Waltz definitely deserved his Golden Globe for his performance here. Unfortunately i saw it in the german synchronized version so i can't wait for the Blu Ray to see/hear it in the english original. Another masterpiece by Tarantino who cements his top spot as the "cool movies" director (and i fell nearly out of the chair when his cameo character was killed.. you know what i mean ).
Not yet sure if it gets top spot but it was great. How did the whole "we are speaking German as a plot point" work when everyone is speaking German all the time? I was lucky enough to watch it inthe original version.

It's been too long
Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while
And we're too busy doing things
We haven't noticed what's missing
Where's the fun we used to have?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Silly jokes and fairy tales
Where did we leave them?
Lost in the backyard
Your lasso my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were
In the backyard
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard
Simple days of hand in hand
And drawing our names in the sand
Somehow life just complicates
Our buried treasure it just waits
Lost in the backyard
You can still meet me in the garden
You and I and hide behind the rosebed
You and I
You and I
Lost in the backyard again

Crucial Fact
- His favourite word was provinces.
Last in Parliament May 2004, as Liberal MP for Vaudreuil—Soulanges (Québec)
Lost his last election, in 2004, with 39% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Committees of the House April 28th, 2004
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Finance, concerning Bill C-30, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 23, 2004, as agreed on Tuesday, April 27, 2004, and to report it with amendments.
The Budget March 24th, 2004
Mr. Speaker, the 2004 budget lays the foundation for a better future for all Canadians. This budget has two clear objectives. It demonstrates unequivocally the principles of financial responsibility and integrity, and begins to give tangible shape to the goals presented in the Speech from the Throne.
Investing in health care, our communities, learning, the well-being and development of our children now and in the future, that is how the government puts people at the heart of all it does.
We will not throw fiscal caution to the wind, nor will we engage in a pre-election spending spree. This is a solid budget that allows Canada to begin another decade of achievement with confidence.
Public Service Modernization Act June 3rd, 2003
Mr. Speaker, I would like to be recorded as voting in favour of this bill.
Transportation Amendment Act March 25th, 2003
Mr. Speaker, I believe my vote was not recorded for the last motion. I would like to have my vote recorded for the motion before us this evening.
(The House divided on the motion, which was agreed to on the following division:)
Industrial Materials February 5th, 2003
Mr. Speaker, on January 21, the Government of Canada announced a $11.3 million investment in Valotech for the establishment of the Crossroads for Industrial Materials Innovation (CIMI) on the NRC's Industrial Materials Institute site in Boucherville.
The Government of Canada is partnering with Valotech, a not-for-profit organization, whose mission is to contribute to Montérégie's economic growth in order to create a technological cluster providing space and services to new industrial materials enterprises.
This is yet another example of our government's dynamic research and innovation strategy in all regions of Canada.
Petitions May 29th, 2002
Mr. Speaker, I wish to present a petition signed by several people from Quebec. They are petitioning the Parliament of Canada to repeal subsection 13(5) of the Canada Post Corporation Act, because they allege that this provision deprives rural route mail couriers of the right to collective bargaining. I therefore wish to present this petition on behalf of these people.
Committees of the House May 2nd, 2002
Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present the 15th report of the Standing Committee on Finance. This report is in connection with its order of reference of April 19, 2002, in relation to Bill S-40, an act to amend the Payment Clearing and Settlement Act.
The committee has considered Bill S-40 and I am pleased to report it without amendments.
Technological Innovation May 1st, 2002
Mr. Speaker, today I wish to tell the House about the incredible support provided by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation toward the creation of a unique Canadian research and development laboratory in Varennes, Quebec.
Thanks to this funding of over $5.8 million, Canada now has a state-of-the-art nanotechnology research infrastructure. The scientific and technological spinoffs from this initiative will have a significant impact in the telecommunications, biomedical, aerospace and intelligent transport sectors.
This is something tangible that the Government of Canada has done to develop a unique Canadian network of excellence with a number of universities and research centres. For the people of the riding of Verchères--Les-Patriotes, it is one more example of the contribution the federal government is making to the development of excellence in the regions and of our commitment to put Canada right up there with world leaders in technological innovation.
Trade December 12th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, this morning, the Minister for International Trade took part in the inauguration of the Canada-Italy Business Council here, in Ottawa.
Could the minister inform this House of the benefits of this fine initiative?
Aboriginal Affairs November 21st, 2001
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Solicitor General of Canada.
During the past weekend shots were fired at the Kanesatake Mohawk police station and yesterday Grand Chief Gabriel asked the federal and provincial governments for support.
What assurances could the Solicitor General of Canada give Grand Chief Gabriel that peace and public order will be maintained in Kanesatake at all times?

But before 2009, there wasn't any tennis this week. The week after the US Open was always a week off, until Nadal joined other top players in petitioning the ITF to move the Davis Cup round to this weekend. No takesies backsies.

Bridge Decor, Artful Wellness and Colorful Reality
Well, the later part of October has been busy in the valley and beyond for exhibitions, fundraisers, bridge decoration, Bridge Eyes, a new Upper Valley Art Facebookpage and more… as the month's not over yet.
Last weekend was the art show at the Performing Arts Center put on by Two Rivers Gallery with artwork picked to compliment the Russian musical theme of the evening which featured the music of Elgar, Borodin and Tchaikovsky. As Two Rivers Gallery President Jan Theriault put it "Art and music pair well together." The artworks represented various media, oil, acrylic & watercolor paintings, wood sculpture, pottery, fused glass were all there and are available at Two Rivers Gallery. Jan added that, "The Gallery & the Orchestra will partner at each musical event this year." Their next exhibit theme will be "A European Christmas" on December 15th. That gives me time to search through my European Photos.
This week, I was able to get over to the foot bridge to the Apple Capitol Loop Trail to get photos of the annual October Breast Cancer Awareness bras display which I photographed to promote the cause and while I was there I got to video some Boing fuselages passing underneath on rail car flatbeds... now that was a treat.
Saturday of this weekend the folks over at Recovery Innovations had their second art show and fundraiser featuring the art of group members who participate in art classes at RI there and a number of local artists interested in promoting mental health and wellness. I was pretty pleased that my "Bridge Eye" and my two other pieces sold… all for a good cause.
It was great to see the work of both the professional artist and the students and how pleasant and inviting the atmosphere is now at RI. Thanks to Karen Dean for efforts to spread the word and help promote this event. Kudos are deserved by Cody Stitt the Director for the imagination and willingness to break out of the box and thereby further promote hope, empowerment, wellness while connecting the peers in the group with the community.
Also, this weekend was the Member Gathering out at the Confluence Gallery, so after spending some time at RI Martha Flores and me headed on up to Twisp. There we met Nicole Ringgold, the Executive Director,who showed us around and happily explained how the gallery works and explained what membership entails. We always love heading to the upper Methow Valley just so we can stop in at the Confluence Gallery… and, yesterday was no exception.
The current show is titled "Altered Realities" and features the collage and mixed media art of Tanya Gonzales Ortega, Jeffrey Winslow, and the wonderful hanging sculptures of Rhys Court. We would have loved to have stayed for the meeting which would be followed by live music entertainment by singer songwriters Benjie Howard and Maketa Wilborn of the New Wilderness project, but it's a long drive home and we had a pretty full day… oh well next time perhaps.
Well, enough for now and have a very artful day.

Ok. But in this case, it's just one line of inline css.
It may be just one line but if you let bad habits creep in once, twice, then the next thing you know you have a web project littered with inline styles because you couldn't bother to externalize the different aspects of your site properly.
What he said, plus it's easier to organize your CSS if it's actually in one place instead of having styles all over the place which makes it harder to maintain and more error prone. By the way internal styles are not the same as inline (as in style attribute) styles, but that's a sidenote :)

Latest update March 30th, 2017 12:59 AM
…as management, charter company clash over fuel purchases
By Leonard Gildarie
A senior official of Air Services Limited (ASL) reportedly used a fuel tanker to rip open the gates of Ogle Airport on Thursday evening, as a clash between management and the operators of a local aircraft company over fuel purchases took on serious proportions.
Government has since announced that it will be meeting with both the management of ASL and Ogle Airport Inc. (OAI) to diffuse a potentially volatile situation.
Both parties had differing accounts of what occurred, with ASL making no mention of the gate incident in a statement it issued. The gates were unable to close, with one mangled section lying on the ground.
The police, Customs-Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) and Guyana Energy Authority were said to have become involved in the matter.
There have been tensions between ASL and the airport management for sometime now; after the latter stopped what it said was illegal construction by the charter company.
According to the airport in a release yesterday afternoon, on Tuesday night, around 22:00hrs, security intercepted and stopped a fuel supply tanker found to be bringing aviation fuel onto the airport for delivery to ASL.
Both GEA and CANU were informed and took possession of the fuel tanker and confirmed that the tanker was carrying aviation fuel. The airport maintained that the fuel was not authorized for use at that facility.
It was explained that according to the airport's operations manual, approved by the Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority (DGCAA), "only those companies approved by OAI and the DGCAA as fuel-handling agents at Ogle Regional Municipal Airport may engage in the handling, receiving, storing and dispensing of fuel".
This approval had only been given to Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services Limited (CAMSL) and Rubis West Indies, in accordance with internationally established regulations and standards, OAI said in the release.
CAMSL owns and operates a fuel farm at Ogle Airport as a contracted fuel handling and dispensing agent for Rubis West Indies, ensuring that all the requisite filtration and safety and quality control measures are in place.
OAI said that on Thursday it wrote ASL reminding them of the fuel purchasing regulation "and informing ASL that ASL is not an approved fuel handling agent and is in violation of the airport's regulations by bringing aviation fuel onto the Airport and that ASL will not be permitted to bring any more aviation fuel onto the airport."
The airport said that "in defiance" of the notice, a fuel tanker and Canter truck sought permission to enter the airport at around 18:30 hrs.
"The drivers of the vehicles identified the fact that they were transporting aviation fuel for delivery to the ASL Hangar. The Airport's Chief of Security ascertained from the drivers that they were not authorized by OAI's management for delivery of aviation fuel to the Airport. The trucks were denied entry to the airport."
The airport said that about 18:45hrs, a senior ASL official (name provided), arrived at the airport's gate.
It was stated that the official, "boarded the fuel tanker and drove it into the padlocked airport gate, forcing entry into the airport, followed by the Canter truck. One of the airport's security guards standing at the gate was forced to take evasive action to avoid being run over."
The airport said that its security immediately reported the incident to the Sparendaam Police Station and investigators subsequently arrived to probe the incident.
It did not end there, the airport claimed.
"After the departure of the police, (the ASL official) later returned to the airport gate where he was exceedingly abusive and used threatening language to the airport's security on duty."
Yesterday, ASL issued its own statement but made no mention of the gate incident.
It explained that it is currently buying aviation fuel from CAMSL at Ogle which is costing $200 more per gallon than if purchased from Rubis out of Timehri.
"We approached CAMSL several times to discuss the possibility of a concessionary rate as we are their largest customer but this was unsuccessful. We met with Mr. Hudson Innis, the GM (General Manager) of Rubis Barbados as CAMSL is their agent at Ogle and also asked him to discuss with CAMSL the possibility of offering ASL a reduced price but this was not possible."
ASL claimed that it subsequently discussed with Innis the possibility of sending ASL tankers to uplift fuel from RUBIS Timehri as each trip would save GY$450,000.
"…but were told this was not possible also. We then decided to import fully certified ISO containers of both avjet and avgas that meets all safety requirements from the US on a trial basis."
This was done, the company explained, fulfilling all the regulatory requirements, with the first batch of fuel arriving in Guyana over the last weekend.
"The first two transfers of fuel by our tankers from Georgetown to Ogle went well but on the third trip our tanker and our staff were allowed entry into the aerodrome and then accosted in a high drama interception by the OAI and CANU security and taken to the Sparendaam police station but were later released as there was no grounds for them being held."
On Thursday, ASL said that its driver was not allowed through the gates and was told that OAI management had issued this instruction.
The statement did not mention the gate-breaking incident but claimed that ASL was refused the sale of fuel by CAMS yesterday.
This fact was disputed by OAI's spokesperson, Kit Nascimento, yesterday who said that the airport has evidence that ASL fueled planes there yesterday.
In its claim of CAMSL refusing to sell fuel, ASL said it is a legitimate operator at Ogle for the past 50 years and is also a major shareholder.
"We consume the largest amount of aviation fuel at Ogle and are CAMSL's largest customer."
ASL said it was only last month that CAMSL offered to increase their credit facilities.
"We spoke to Mr. Hudson Innis in Barbados this (yesterday) morning and briefed him of the situation, and the fact that his agent CAMSL is refusing to sell the largest aircraft operator fuel as of today, and he promised to look into the matter and get back to us. However, we were just told by Mr. Innis that Mr. Michael Correia is in a meeting and Mr. Innis has been unable to make contact with him."
According to the charter company, Innis "made it clear that RUBIS will not support any action by CAMS to discriminate against ASL once ASL is a legitimate operator at Ogle." ASL also said it has apprised the Ministry of Transport and the Government of Guyana of "this distressing matter as the transportation sector would suffer as a result of us having to shut down our operations."
Yesterday, also, Minister of Transport Robeson Benn acknowledged that he is aware of the incident and said that there are meetings to resolve the issues.

Dreaming Of Julia (yellow silks) wins the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont
PICTURE: Jessie Holmes/EquiSport PhotosCogito fourth as David completes Rosie double
Report: USA, Saturday
Belmont Park: Jamaica Hcap (Grade 1) 1m1f, turf, 3yo
FRANKIE DETTORI had a fruitless trip to New York when the Brian Meehan-trained Cogito could finish only a tame fourth in the Jamaica Handicap, in which America's top female rider Rosie Napravnik completed a memorable Grade 1 double on longshot King David.
Napravnik had earlier won the Champagne Stakes on the unbeaten Shanghai Bobby, while trainer Mike Maker also landed a Grade 1 double on the night following the success of Joha in the Dixiana Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland.
Cogito missed the break and then raced six lengths off a slow pace towards the rear of the field. He was hard driven turning for home and could then only stay on without ever threatening the principals in the $400,000 event.
King David was sent off a 28-1 shot, which was hardly surprising as he was claimed just three weeks ago for $35,000.
He caught fellow longshot King Kreesa inside the final furlong before scoring by a half-length in a race where Summer Front must be regarded an unlucky loser after his jockey Ramon Dominguez tried for an ambitious run up the rail.
The favourite Dullahan was never a factor as he switched to turf after his Pacific Classic victory.
King David, who broke his maiden only on May 25, has now won six of his seven starts this term.
Also on Saturday
Belmont Park: Frizette Stakes (Grade 1) 1m, dirt, 2yo fillies
After winning her previous two races by a combined total of 26 lengths, Dreaming Of Julia (Todd Pletcher/John Velazquez) duly completed the hat-trick at odds of 1-10 - by a hard-fought head in what amounted to a match race all the way around with My Happy Face. The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies beckons for the winner, who scored in a time of 1m37.10s.
Dettori's intended mount Roveing Patrol was scratched after getting lodged in the starting gate.
Shanghai Bobby wins the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont
PICTURE: Jessie Holmes/EquiSport PhotosBelmont Park: Champagne Stakes (Grade 1) 1m, dirt 2yo
Todd Pletcher's dominance of the east coast two-year-old division continued as Rosie Napravnik partnered 8-5 favourite Shanghai Bobby to an impressive five-length victory over a strong-looking field.
He has now completed a four-timer after stopping the clock in 1m35.55s - significantly faster than Dreaming Of Julia in the Frizette.
After trying to make all, west-coast visitor Goldencents claimed second from Godolphin's Fortify.
The Jeremy Noseda-trained Chief Havoc was last of six, fading in the straight after travelling well on the far turn.
