I. Registration Form on Members' Interests
(a) Inclusion of Members' election expenses as interests registrable under "Financial Sponsorships" on Page 4
(LC Paper Nos. CB(3)73/98-99(01) and (02))
2. The Chairman sought members' view as to whether it was necessary to include in Rule 83(5)(d) of the Rules of Procedure the provision for the sponsorship of election expenses received by Legislative Council Members as interests registrable under "Financial Sponsorships".
3. The Chairman informed members that according to S.O. No. 64A(4)(e)(i) of the Standing Orders of the former Legislative Council, registrable interests included the financial sponsorships received by a Legislative Council Member "as a candidate for election to the Council, where to the knowledge of the Member the sponsorship exceeds 10,000 or 25% of his election expenses". Hence, Members of the former Legislative Council were required to register the sponsorship they received in this regard on the registration form. However, this S.O. was not included in the Rules of Procedure of the Provisional Legislative Council (PLC) as it was not applicable to PLC Members. The Rules of Procedure of this Council, based on those of the PLC, again did not have this provision.
4. After discussion, members agreed that, for the sake of transparency, a Legislative Council Member should be required to register the donations he received as a candidate for election to the Council. They further agreed that in order to minimize administrative inconvenience, the requirements should be the same as those of the Electoral Affairs Commission in this regard.
5. The Senior Assistant Legal Adviser (SALA) advised and members noted that under section 29 of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Ordinance (Cap. 288), all candidates at the 1998 Legislative Council elections were required to send to the returning officer a return of their election expenses and donations which should contain, inter alia, "a statement of all the donations, vouched (except in the case of donations under $500) by copies of receipts issued to every person from whom those donations may have been received". After discussion, members decided that -
(b) Meaning of "a company which a Member has control" as set out in the footnote on Page 7
(LC Paper No. CB(3)73/98-99(03))
7. The Chairman briefed members that Hon Ambrose LAU considered that the meaning of "such as through a company in which he has control" in the footnote on Page 7 of the registration form was uncertain and vague. In view of Mr LAU's comments, the Chairman invited members to discuss whether it was necessary to clarify the meaning of the phrase.
II. Any other business
Issuance of guidelines on matters of ethics in relation to the conduct of Legislative Council Members in their capacity as such
9. The Chairman informed members that the Committee on Members' Interests of both the former Legislative Council and the Provisional Legislative Council had issued advisory guidelines on matters of ethics in relation to the conduct of Members in their capacity as such. He suggested members to consider at the next meeting whether it was necessary for the Committee to issue similar guidelines.
III. Date of next meeting
10. Members decided to hold the next meeting on Thursday 24 September 1998 at 10:45 am.
11. The meeting ended at 3:05 pm.

Volvo Concept Coupe
This is the Volvo Concept Coupe. The concept was penned by the brand's new vice president of design, Thomas Ingenlath of Volkswagen fame, and its interior was laid out by Robin Page, formerly of Bentley. Considering the upbringing of the two men behind the Concept Coupe, looking to the past for inspiration might very well have led to a modern-day PV544. However, the Swedish brand had another classic gem in mind to inspire its all-new design direction that will merge "contemporary Scandinavian lifestyle and design with iconic elements from Volvo Concept Coupe 1960s era": the P1800.
Volvo may as well be describing the vintage coupe's proportions when Volvo Concept Coupe explains how the distance between the concept's dashboard and front axle has been extended and the greenhouse positioned rearward. The CC's grille mimics the shape of the old two-seater's maw and the front end's lower outboard intakes, which Volvo calls cow horns, are reminiscent of the bumpers on the earlier P1800s. Volvo tells us the concept's T-shaped LED signature will be a staple of all upcoming Volvo Concept Coupe. The designers did, however, refrain from copying the vestigial tailfins of the classic Volvo sports coupe, keeping the rear of the concept clean and horizontal. Volvo says the design is "oozing with effortless power," and we're a bit curious to learn what that actually means.
Page's interior is kept clean and simple, featuring a mixture of leather, aged wood, and a gear lever made of Swedish crystal. Thankfully, Volvo has abandoned the majority of its notoriously cluttered, knob-infested center stack design in favor of a large touch screen similar to the setup in Tesla's Model S.
Power will come from the brand's recently revealed Drive-E family of engines, specifically the Drive-E T6. This 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes use of a supercharger for low-end grunt and a turbocharger that carries power into the upper reaches of the mill's rev band. Volvo has pegged the T6's output at 302 horsepower, and then added an electric motor and plug-in hybrid components to complete a powertrain with "around 400 horsepower." While the new engines will be offered exclusively with an eight-speed automatic in American applications, the show car uses the European-specification six-speed manual transmission.

"So I got it right that you are Italian, Marco?"
"I am Napoletano!"
The start of my conversation with a proud Napoletano, a chef, a pizza lover and a co-owner of MAST' restaurant in Boston is promising. I described my love to this restaurant and its pizza before. So when I got a chance to take a look inside and see how the best pizza in Boston is made I jumped on it!
What I am always looking for in pizza is authenticity. How do you know a restaurant makes not just great but authentic pizza? You see a lot of Italians dining there. That's how I got to know about MAST' in the first place: my Italian friends recommended it.
Marco is so genuine in his desire to make the best Neapolitan-style pizza in Boston that you can feel it in his every word: the passion and the sincerity. He is so adamant about his believes and so straightforward in expressing them that I want to write some of his quotes down and frame them: "Pizza with pineapple? No way! You gotta be kidding me!"
But let's start from the beginning: what do you need to make the best Neapolitan pizza? First of all, you need a pizzaiolo – pizza chef.
There are two chefs at MAST': one who makes the main menu and one who specializes in making pizza. You can't do both. My question about where pizzaiolo is from couldn't be more obvious to Marco:
"From Naples! I would never hire a pizzaiolo from anywhere else but Naples!"
Fabio has been making pizza since the age of 16. Usually kids of 10-11 years old stop by a local pizzeria to watch the process and learn on site. The art of making pizza requires a high-skilled professional because every little detail matters. The amount of yeast in dough, for example: too little yeast will result in flat pizza; a little too much and your pizza becomes heavy. And that is the worst mistake you can make: the right pizza is never heavy. You should feel satisfied and not stuffed after eating it.
Another difficulty in pizzaiolo's work is to determine temperature inside the oven by sight since a wood-fired oven doesn't have a built in thermometer. You do so by watching the color change of the walls inside the oven.
That brings us to another must for a good pizza – wood-fired oven. The secret behind perfect pizza is to cook it fast and for that you need the temperature to be as high as 900°F. That's why wood-fired oven is required but getting one is not an easy task. First, you have to get it shipped from Naples to Boston. But what's even more complicated is how to move a 6000 lb piece of metal onto the 2nd floor of a building. A hint: it involves breaking patio tiles and removing glass doors from the wall completely. Then you built everything else in the kitchen around the oven. I truly feel respect for people who go that far in order to bring you the most authentic experience.
Now to the process (check the video in the end of the post). Fabio starts by mixing the dough and letting it rest for several hours. Next he places a mountain of dough on the counter top, lifts it a couple of times, pressing from sides and kneading it slightly.
Have you seen a piece of dough that huge? Have you seen somebody handling dough with more love and affection as if it were a woman? He pours olive oil on top and then starts cutting of stripes and forming balls of dough. Each ball is a base for future pizza. Some pizza chefs weigh the balls to ensure consistency but Fabio does it by sight. The balls are left to rest once again.
When making pizza base there's no rolling – that much I knew. The ball is gently pressed into a flat round first and then Fabio does something I can only describe as slapping the dough against his hand. The trick here is to slap air out of the middle of the dough so that the base of pizza is thin. But the border of the round should still have air pockets inside – that's what makes it high, soft and chewy.
Next come tomato sauce made of San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves. At last he pours some olive oil over pizza.
This gorgeous bottle for olive oil with traditional Pulcinella figurine on top is also from Naples. Pulcinella is a classical character from Commedia Dell'arte who is known to be an unofficial mascot of Napoli.
Once the preparations are done Fabio stretches the base slightly and drags it carefully onto the pizza peel. Pizza peel is a traditional tool to slide pizza inside and out of the oven. The dough is stretched once again to fit the round of the pizza peel…
and off it goes into the oven…
It takes only 45 seconds to bake a pizza. The temperature inside is so high that any extra time will make your pizza burn. That's why, Marco explains, pizza can never be crunchy – you would need to keep it in the oven for much longer.
It's a pizza, not a Frisbee. Pizza should be soft so that you can easily fold it. Pizza used to be a street food and was supposed to be eaten on the go. Soft pizza can be folded in half and then again in half making a triangle which you can carry around and eat on your way. That's why it is referred to as portafoglio in Italy – literally meaning a wallet that you can fold and put in your pocket.
Half way through Fabio takes the pizza out to make sure that it's cooked evenly. When he puts it back in he has to place it on the exact same spot where it was, otherwise the base will get stuck to the oven. The whole process from shaping the ball of dough to taking the pizza out of the oven takes only 1 minute and 17 seconds!
Fabio slides it on the plate and cuts into slices. Another revelation for me was that in Naples nobody will ever cut a pizza for you. For the same reason I described above – you are supposed to fold your pizza and have it whole, not eat it in slices.
I had a pizza Margherita which is a simple combination of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. In fact, one of the oldest and most famous pizzerias in Naples – Pizzeria Da Michele (the one where Julia Roberts is having slice after slice of pizza in Eat, Pray, Love) only serves pizza Marinara (tomato topping) and pizza Margherita, considering all other toppings excessive and unnecessary.
At MAST' though if you want a more sophisticated flavor you can go for Wild Mushroom pizza, Capriciosa with artichoke hearts and prosciutto or Alla Diavola with spicy Calabrese salami.
If you get a seat at the bar counter you can see Fabio making pizza for yourself. Believe me, it's a pleasure to watch a master at work. His hands are flying around so fast that by the time I manage to focus my camera the pizza is already out of the oven! And if you are wondering, like I was, Fabio does eat pizza. Every day. And it's always Margherita.
The whole process of Chef Fabio making pizza O'MAST – restaurants's special – is in the video below.

For Martin Abo, home decorating might mean a trip to the local novelty shop.
Abo gives a tour of his whimsically decorated Cherry Hill, N.J., home in a funny parody of the MTV Cribs show in a hilarious new YouTube video. Among the notable items on display in "Casa Abo" are a lamp shaped like a curvaceous female, a vintage postage stamp vending machine, a parking meter, a fire hydrant, a working traffic light, a No Vacancy sign, a door that leads to nowhere, a diner jukebox, a pizza chef figure draped in holiday lights, and what appear to be a car trunk-shaped sofa with tailfins, and a statue of a child wearing a baseball cap and blonde wig facing a bench.
Abo and his wife put a lot of effort into amassing the collection over the decades. "This became kind of an eclectic type of catch-all," he said. "It's taken us years, 252 dog years of marriage—that's 36 years from an accounting [perspective]—so we've accumulated stuff the whole time."
Abo's CPA firm, Abo and Company LLC, has offices in Mount Laurel, N.J., and Morrisville, Pa., but we don't get to see in the video how they're decorated.
An article about Abo is scheduled to run in the July/August 2013 issue of New Jersey CPA magazine. We're betting he will be making a few more stops at New Jersey's famed Englishtown flea market before that issue hits the newsstands.

I have had multiple appointments scheduled for one time and confirmed both through email and text. A day later I will get a call confirming my appointment for another time. This is very frustrating as I have to take time off of work to get to an appointment and I do not appreciate the staff wasting my time and treating me like it is an error on my part.

In 2012, talk of Super PACs and billionaire donors may have convinced average Americans that the Republican primary candidates don't need their money -- but compared to the same time period in the 2008 race, fundraising on the presidential campaign trail is down drastically this time around.
Many, including David Keating, President of the Center for Competitive Politics, believe it's due to a "weak" slate of GOP contenders. He points to the current congressional races as proof.
"If you look at the congressional elections, compared to four years ago, donations are actually up about 30 percent - and they're up about 50 percent for senate races," Keating says.
Other analysts agree, but add another component.
Nick Nyhart, President of Public Campaign, believes the flood of big money from a small group of high-dollar donors can be a turn off to everyday people.
"It sends a bad message to ordinary voters," Nyhart says, adding, "You begin to feel like politics is a playing field that only millionaires and billionaires are allowed on."
In tough economic times, Nyhart believes some Americans would rather hold on to their $50 donation than to give it to a wealthy candidate with even wealthier backers.
Though they differ on some of the factors driving the lower-dollar primary season, Keating and Nyhart do agree that once the GOP selects a nominee, donors will open their wallets.
"We're going to see the most expensive general election we've ever seen," Nyhart says.
Keating also believes once the GOP nominee goes head-to-head with President Obama, "the checkbooks will come out."

The European Fee issued a one-sided draft of a formal withdrawal agreement with the UK Wednesday, saying it hoped to speed up the tempo of negotiations.
The 118-page document contains 168 articles. Textual content highlighted in grey displays factors that the EU says it has already agreed with the U.Okay. throughout Section 1 of the talks, whereas the plain textual content displays the EU's most popular outcomes. None of it ought to come as any shock to London, the bloc's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, mentioned.
However the truth is, the highlighted textual content displays the EU's unilateral interpretation of what it believes it agreed with the U.Okay. — a actuality evidenced by U.Okay. Prime Minister Theresa Could's swift dismissal of it as unacceptable. Whereas Could was referring particularly to provisions on Eire, the truth is there may be deep disagreement on many factors. If Barnier's objective was to spark some new power on the U.Okay. facet, towards clinching a joint treaty by October, the end result was extra alongside the strains of a shot with a 50,000-volt Taser gun.
Listed below are a number of the key provisions within the EU textual content, interpreted and defined by POLITICO's Brexit crew:
Protocol on Eire/Northern Eire — Chapter III, Article 3, Web page 100
What it says: "A standard regulatory space comprising the Union and the UK in respect of Northern Eire is hereby established. The frequent regulatory space shall represent an space with out inside borders by which the free motion of products is ensured and North-South cooperation protected in accordance with this Chapter."
What it means: Relating to the foundations that govern the only market, Northern Eire will nonetheless be, successfully, in, whereas the remainder of the U.Okay. is out. This avoids the necessity for any type of border between Eire and Northern Eire and permits for seamless commerce in quite a few areas together with meals, power and numerous manufactured items. The relatively vital drawback is that, until the remainder of the UK follows swimsuit, it might break the regulatory unity of the U.Okay., which is anathema to Brexiteers and specifically the Democratic Unionist Celebration on whose votes Theresa Could relies upon in parliament. Could has already mentioned "no U.Okay. prime minister" might settle for the phrases of the protocol as an entire.
Protocol on Eire/Northern Eire — Chapter III, Article 4, Web page 100
What it says: "The territory of Northern Eire, excluding the territorial waters of the UK (the "territory of Northern Eire"), shall be thought-about to be a part of the customs territory of the Union."
What it means: Successfully the EU's customs union will prolong to Northern Eire, one other measure geared toward stopping a tough border. However use of the phrase "territory" might rile Northern Irish unionists in part of the world the place land and sovereignty are exceptionally delicate.

What it means: In addition to a wider joint committee co-chaired by the EU and the U.Okay. to supervise the withdrawal settlement, there will probably be 5 "specialised committees" together with one on Eire. Its job, if the protocol is ever really enforced, will probably be to implement it and "talk about any level of relevance … giving rise to a problem." May very well be busy.
Protocol on Eire/Northern Eire — Chapter V, Article 15, Web page 105

What it means: This complete excruciatingly detailed protocol, which is completely unacceptable to the U.Okay. authorities, can vanish into skinny air if the U.Okay. can provide you with something higher that has the specified impact of avoiding a border and permitting seamless commerce to proceed on the island of Eire because it does now. Solutions on a postcard.
Supervision and enforcement — Article 126, Web page 71
What it says: "Throughout the transition interval, the establishments, our bodies, places of work and companies of the Union shall have the powers conferred upon them by Union legislation in relation to the UK and pure and authorized individuals residing or established in the UK.

What it means: As anticipated, the European Courtroom of Justice will proceed to have full jurisdiction over the UK all through the transition interval, and can function the final word authority in relation to decoding and making use of the withdrawal settlement. Brexiteers hate the thought of a overseas court docket having a say in U.Okay. affairs past the Brexit date, however the point was conceded by Theresa May in October last year.

What it says: "If in the course of the transition interval the Union considers that the UK has not fulfilled, in the course of the transition interval, an obligation below Union legislation as present in a judgment rendered pursuant to Article 126 of this Settlement in accordance with Article 258 TFEU [Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union], or that the UK doesn't respect an order rendered pursuant to Article 126 of this Settlement in accordance with Article 279 TFEU, and the place the functioning of the interior market, of the customs union, or the monetary stability of the Union or its Member States can be jeopardised in consequence, the Union might droop sure advantages deriving for the UK from participation within the inside market."

This and subsequent clauses clarify the EU may have the higher hand in any disputes in the course of the transition interval over alleged non-compliance by the U.Okay. with EU legal guidelines, guidelines and rules. And if the U.Okay. refuses to implement a treatment of an alleged violation as ordered by the EU authorities, the EU may have a fast-track mechanism for imposing punishment — a "proportionate" suspension of sure advantages the U.Okay. receives from taking part within the EU's single market. This level first emerged in a footnote to a previous version of the legal text but it surely has been spelled out extra explicitly and watered down barely — though not a lot.
Settlement of disputes — Article 162, Web page 95 and Article 163, Web page 95

"If the Courtroom of Justice of the European Union finds … that the Union or the UK, because the case could also be, has not complied with its judgement, it might impose a lump sum or penalty cost on it."
What it means: A joint EU-U.Okay. committee will probably be established to supervise and implement the withdrawal settlement, and may have broad authority, however in the end the European Courtroom of Justice remains to be the final word decider on issues regarding the withdrawal treaty.

What it means: The important thing phrase right here is "earlier than the top of the transition interval." The U.Okay. had insisted that EU residents arriving after March 29, 2019 however earlier than the top of transition wouldn't be entitled to so-called settled standing. "I'm clear there's a distinction between these individuals who got here previous to us leaving and people who will come once they know the U.Okay. is not a member of the EU," said May in January. Amid the Brexit information blizzard Wednesday, the U.Okay. conceded the purpose.

Spousal rights — footnote, Web page 8
What it says: "This displays the Fee's view … [that] the household reunification proper supplied for within the Joint Report shall additionally cowl future companions or spouses of Union residents and United Kingdom nationals, who usually are not but companions or spouses."
What it means: The textual content makes clear for the primary time that household reunification rights, which appeared within the December joint report, additionally cowl future companions. That's one thing that MEPs had particularly pushed to make express within the textual content, however it's more likely to meet resistance within the U.Okay. as a result of it might confer to EU27 nationals with settled standing after Brexit superior rights to British nationals.
Scope of rights — Article 32, Web page 23
What it says: "In respect of United Kingdom nationals and their relations, the rights supplied for by this Half shall not embrace additional free motion to the territory of one other Member State, the proper of firm within the territory of one other Member State, or the proper to offer companies on the territory of one other Member State or to individuals established in different Member States."
What it means: The EU has not budged on its insistence that British residents given proper to stay in an EU nation don't have the identical proper to maneuver and settle in one other EU nation — an instance, typically cited by British negotiators, of the EU taking a harder line on residents' rights than they do.

Funds associated to this legal responsibility shall be made when the quantities fall due."
What it means: The U.Okay. is on the hook for a Brexit invoice far bigger than its common annual contributions to the EU finances in the course of the 21-month transition interval — an as but undetermined sum of cash and one which the U.Okay. authorities has prevented describing in any particular phrases to the British public. Even a letter to MPs by Brexit Secretary David Davis on Wednesday referred solely cryptically to the funds for these liabilities, totaling billions of euros. "The U.Okay. will meet our obligations that we signed as much as below the present EU finances plan which runs till the top of 2020," he wrote. "The U.Okay. can pay its justifiable share of liabilities, however may even obtain its justifiable share of property." What Davis burdened as an alternative was an implicit risk to not pay if there isn't a Brexit deal, noting "nothing is agreed till every little thing is agreed."
Obligation {of professional} secrecy — Article 115, Web page 65
What it says: "Provisions of Union legislation imposing an obligation {of professional} secrecy on sure people and establishments, companies, places of work and our bodies of the Union shall apply in the UK in respect of any info of the type coated by the duty {of professional} secrecy obtained both earlier than the top of the transition interval, or thereafter in reference to actions of the Union pursuant to this Settlement. The UK shall respect these obligations of people and establishments, companies, places of work and our bodies and be sure that they're complied with in its territory."
What it means: Secrecy is a key difficulty for the reason that U.Okay. has had entry to EU insider info for many years. The EU27 needs to ensure that London is not going to share these secrets and techniques with others. December's joint report (the political precursor to this doc) had extra balanced language, stressing the necessity for either side "to make sure compliance with obligations {of professional} secrecy."
Euratom associated points: Safeguards — Article 77, Web page 50
What it says: "The UK shall implement a safeguards regime making use of a system providing equal effectiveness and protection as that supplied by the Group within the territory of the UK till the top of the transition interval."

The proposals within the Fee's draft withdrawal deal observe the strains it laid out final yr — pushing accountability for the U.Okay.'s departure, together with agreeing new offers with the Worldwide Atomic Power Company and different nations, entirely over to London.
Ongoing judicial cooperation proceedings in felony issues — Article 58, Web page 35
What it says: "The competent authorities of the UK might proceed to take part within the joint investigation groups arrange earlier than the top of the transition interval in accordance with Article 13 of the Conference established by the Council in accordance with Article 34 of the Treaty on European Union, on Mutual Help in Felony Issues between the Member States … by which it was taking part earlier than the top of the transition interval."

Immunity of members of the European Parliament — Article 101, Web page 59
What it says: "[Existing rights to immunity from prosecution] shall apply in the UK in respect of opinions expressed or votes solid by members of the European Parliament, no matter their nationality, together with former members, within the efficiency of their duties earlier than the top of the transition interval."

When your Doctor Srews Up
Bad things happen. many times they are outside our control. Often patients ask me, "Why did this happen to me?". Many times the answer is quite simple. Bad luck.
Unfortunately for many patients that bad luck continues when they step into their doctor's office. Many of us have long held to the notion that all doctors are created equal and that the profession is filled with many competent and intelligent people who are all equally qualified. Not true. Unfortunately many doctors do not all practice the same level of care. There are many very competent and thought leading physicians and there are many who are not. How do know which one you have. You don't. And you almost never will until it is too late. Checking their credentials will not help. Checking their academic background or board certification will not help. Checking to see if they have ever been sued will not help. Asking your neighbors will certainly not help. Nothing will help. It is really just luck.
When a doctor screws up, bad things happen. Just ask Stephanie. Her true story blog appeared earlier on these pages. Stephanie had all the classic signs and symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. But her doctor missed it. Missing bipolar disorder can be catastrophic and I am certain that in this situation it directly lead to Stephanie becoming an addict. If it had been recognized earlier I firmly believe that Stephanie's life would have been drastically different in a very powerful way.
Don't be afraid to challenge your doctor and ask questions. The smart and confident ones will welcome the questions and answer them thoroughly. the bad ones will be insulted and will blow off your questions.
A good doctor will save your life. A bad one may destroy it.

Four in the Spotlight
Despite the late start, the December season is picking up momentum. The sabhas are filling up, the canteens are keeping up and the concerts are getting standing ovations. "There is a slight drop in attedance, but it's heartening how people are using the Margazhi concerts as a means to find relief," says Carnatic singer Sandeep Narayan. While next week sees performances by pianist Anil Srinivasan, Hindustani vocalist Pandit Venkatesh Kumar, among other greats, we speak with four performers who are being talked about.
Sandeep Narayan Brahma Gana Sabha
This US-born and raised musician, who moved to India to take up music full time, is one of the most sought-after singers today. Though he doesn't want to reveal too much about his concerts—"I like an element of surprise to be there"—he shares that he will be adding a new raga for his concert on Monday, or elaborating on a ragam. "I don't want to repeat anything because, with so many concerts happening in such a small area, you have a lot of the same people in the audience." December 28,
at 4 pm. Details: 24642767
Sikkil Gurucharan Parthasarathy Swamy Sabha
The grandson of Sikkil Kunjumani, one of the acclaimed flautist duo, the Sikkil Sisters, Gurucharan says this December season has reinforced his faith in music's ability to heal. "Chennai is bouncing back and our people have shown that music and the city are two inseparable entities," says the singer. Today's performance will see him take the stage with mridangam player Umayalpuram Sivaraman. "The beauty of our music is that it gives us so many new things to explore and no two concerts are the same. I am planning to sing a pallavi that he taught me earlier this year," he adds.Today,
at 6.30 pm. Details: parthasarathysabha.com
Ranjani-Gayatri The Music Academy
With three performances to go this year, sisters Ranjani-Gayatri are looking forward to their show today. "It's one of the most coveted slots," smiles Gayatri, adding, "With every concert we aim to take rasikas on a journey of discovery—of voice and technical virtuaosity, and of emotions. We always try to balance these three elements. For our Christmas performance, we plan to present some raga, taalam and pallavi that we haven't performed before."
Today, at 4 pm. Details: 28112231

Fight escalates to fatal shooting in Acreage
2 men involved in fight
THE ACREAGE, Fla. —
One man was killed Thursday after a fight led to gunfire in The Acreage.
Authorities said the fight erupted between two men on 56th Place North about 2:30 p.m.
Neighbors said the family involved had recently moved to the area, and they were shocked to see police activity outside their homes.
"We saw the police with the guns out. That's the only thing I saw," neighbor Alejandro Garcia said. "I don't know what happened inside."
"(It's the) first time we've heard anything like this out here. Normally, this is a quiet area," neighbor Dale Kelley said.
An investigation is underway.

Making a Web site is usually a challenging task for any newbie and even the web savvy. A content material management system (CMS) in simple phrases, is a platform of types or a mechanism which permits you to create your content and publish it on a website. And bear in mind, WordPress permits you to link your site if you touch upon another person's weblog. A site title is mainly the URL one sorts into a browser's handle bar to visit a selected website. If you intend to create your site purely for financial functions, it is not going to achieve success in the long run. Web site builders nowadays provide you with a really good selection of design templates to select from. Squarespace has partnered up with Google Apps to offer you the power to create custom email addresses.
WordPress by itself is small but more than likely you'll install multiple plugins and add several images to your website and that's when your website will change into 10 occasions greater. It's always easier to use a computer to setup a website rather than utilizing a cellphone or smartphone due to limited screen actual estate and restricted input however it can be executed. You may as well check out our website builder comparison chart right here to get a excessive stage overview of who're a number of the main platforms available at present. I am looking for a web site builder that may sell Intellectual Property like domain names.
But fact be advised, our hottest and widely learn articles aren't the ones that describe premium WordPress themes or plugins, slightly they're WordPress tutorials and posts devoted to free themes, plugins and other WordPress associated articles. To your query, I feel each CMS's and companies like Wix are an upward trend, as increasingly folks construct web sites with every passing day. For additional details about Bitnami WordPress stack setup please refer to Bitnami website as there are loads of things that needs to be lined and therefore we would need to put in writing one other 6,000 phrase article for that. Widgets are preset modules or items of code that add to a certain operate which is able to show helpful for your website in some capacity or the opposite. I've largely used as a web hosting and area registrar for myself and for my internet growth initiatives. Domains can be used only exclusively with and you can't transfer them elsewhere.
All different forms of internet hosting that you may have heard of like Virtual Non-public Hosting (requires cheap technical understand how), managed WordPress internet hosting (too costly) might not be the suitable choice on your first website. Nonetheless for those who want any help with internet hosting setup, WordPress configuration, WordPress themes and plugins please let me know and I will strive to help you from there. These builders are ideal for people who don't have the time to learn code (life is busy, right?) or don't have the finances to hire somebody to assist construct a website. Simple To Set up: Most internet hosting companies have one click on installation options for WordPress given the quantity of people who use it. Using a service, internet software or a CMS to build a website leads to simply that.
If you wish to build a business website, I might start with trying out just a few web site builders which might be appropriate for companies here. For a bloggers, wordpress is the best choice, however they need to learn a bit about wordpress first. Wix really doesn't control what currencies you should utilize as it is up to the transaction providers supplier equivalent to PayPal. Most WordPress themes have a sidebar on the correct side (in some circumstances it is on the left). I believe it will likely be difficult to discover a free website builder that can let you connect your personal domain title to the web site. Do some brainstorming to come up with a singular area identify that reflects your future website, enterprise or weblog.

Research in animals provides an insight into the development of social structures and communication systems in humans, so for me as a bachelor student in psychology, working with animals that have social structures and relationships with humans is a great opportunity to learn more about the human development. Although it is not common for psychology students from my University to do research related internships in places like the WSC, I use this internship to learn more about evolutionary psychology, which is one of my favourite fields in psychology. I am glad for the opportunity to include this internship in my bachelor degree at the Saarland University in Germany.
It is a great pleasure to work with the animals at the WSC and to become acquainted with the different characters of each animal here. I work next to contemplative and intelligent wolves like Geronimo, though there are some over-motivated animals like Amarok, where you always have to keep an eye on your test-equipment, and wolves like Kenai, which can be frightened easily.
For the time of my internship I am performing a risk taking test, where both wolves and dogs can choose between a stable food source with less preferred food (dry food) and a "food" source which provides 50% of the time a non-edible item (rock) and 50% of the time the preferred food item (meat, sausage or chicken). The goal of this study is to examine risk taking behaviour of wolves as hunters and dogs as domesticated animals in connection to food.
Other than my test, there are other things to do and to experience, like giving tours for the visitors, and helping other students with their tests. Living here means not only testing and working, but it is also a great place to live, work and speak with people from different countries and fields of interests, as well as being able to come in physical contact with wolves and sometimes even get the opportunity to pet one of them.
The experiences I've gathered in the first weeks of my internship, both in working with the animals and with the trainers, researchers and students, are great and I'm happy to still have the second half of my internship left.

"Wine & Roses"
The horizon was fast becoming a blur as darkness fell over the island. Leaning against the deck rail, she saw the first evening stars beginning to twinkle in a cloudless sky. Until some months ago, her days of wine and roses had seemed to be a distant memory, an unrepeatable event. But recently a tropical troubadour had begun to sing her heart open again. Did she have the courage to dream again, open herself to a new adventure, be her authentic self and live her best life? She remembered Red's advice from The Shawshank Redemption: "Get busy living, or get busy dying."

El Gitano Peñasco, "The Peñasco Gypsy"
And there you have it Muchachos y Muchachas. Another 'delegation', this time visiting Yuma, AZ whereby Yuma's wildly successful outreach program and (I quote) "holistic approach to forming partnerships with their Mexican counterparts" included representation from Puerto Peñasco for apparently a "free exchange of ideas".
Now I don't mean to go on a rant here, but I doubt the being 'free', and as a tax payer on both sides of the border I'm fed up with all these trips at the tax payer expense that for the most part turn out to be more along the lines of a shopping, dining and fiesta spree than anything else.
And even though sending anyone from Peñasco to Yuma amounts to 'chump change' I'd bet the farm that the costs, per-diems, etc. that 'we' forked out from our tax coffers was more than a similar trip would cost an ordinary citizen reaching into their own pocket.
So here is a suggestion for all you government types who 'in the interest and will of the people' claim these 'trips' are necessary to 'improve' your constituents' (that would include MOI) lives.
Get online and for about $60 (USD) order up yourself a web enabled video cam, hook it up to your computer and then have all the 'chats' and 'visits' (aka: "Video Conferencing") you believe necessary, including discussing that "holistic approach".
By doing it this way you can 'visit' and 'chat' with any community or business 'leaders' anywhere in the world and the money that is saved over the ensuing years can go for what the funds are intended, such as roads, schools, health, etc.
Of course unlike some U.S. government personnel I highly recommend when Video conferencing you keep all your clothes on and if you get the 'urge' to do otherwise then reach deep into your own pockets and take a break from the pressure of Government service.
Heck, maybe visit some exotic place like Yuma, AZ and then feel free to spend money like a drunken sailor (no offence to any past/present/future 'Squids' reading this), let your hair down and do your 'thing' (at your own expense)!
A Gypsy can always dream!
¡Viva Puerto Peñasco y México!

Paul F. James
Associate Professor
278 Pearson Hall (513) 529-3129
The Na,K-ATPase transports sodium ions (Na+) out of the cell and potassium ions (K+) into the cell utilizing energy released during ATP hydrolysis thereby establishing electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane. The NHEs maintain intracellular pH by transporting hydrogen ions (H+) out of the cell using the energy stored in the Na+ gradient established by the Na,K-ATPase. Sperm contain two of the four known Na,K-ATPase alpha isoforms and at least four of the 12 identified NHE isoforms, two of which (alpha4 Na,K-ATPase and NHE10) have been shown to be critical for sperm motility and fertility. The role that the other Na,K-ATPase and NHE isoforms play in sperm physiology is currently unresolved. The focus in the James laboratory is directed towards 1) defining the distinct roles that individual Na,K-ATPase alpha and NHE isoforms play in regulating different aspects of sperm physiology (motility, capacitation, the acrosome reaction, etc.), 2) determining the specific functional interactions between these isoforms in sperm that allow regulation of intracellular pH, 3) identifying the cellular mechanisms that regulate the activity of these transporters in sperm, 4) investigating the role that the Na,K-ATPase alpha4 isoform and NHE10 play in human reproduction and reproductive dysfunction, and 5) examining the role that epigenetic mechanisms play in regulating the expression of the sperm-specific Na,K, ATPase and NHE isoform genes.
In addition to his work on the physiology of membrane transport proteins found in sperm, Dr. James is also collaborating in the design and testing of novel osteogenic and chondrogenic scaffold compositions/architectures for use in bone and cartilage tissue engineering.

Join David Hobby for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting there and where to stay, part of The Traveling Photographer: Dubai.
- Flying from the US to Dubai is a long trip. We were almost 24 hours door-to-door from the East Coast of the US. From the West Coast, you'll be even longer. The thing to remember for this trip is hydration, hydration, hydration. You'll be in a dry airplane for many hours, and you're headed to a desert. Dehydration is the thing most likely to ruin your trip, so, drink early, drink often, and keep drinking. You'll be flying against the sun from night into night. Aim for five to six hours sleep early on in the flight if you can to minimize jet lag.
Customs is quick and easy, but remember you're entering an Islamic country, and they have very strict drug laws. Get the latest info on what is and isn't allowed just to be on the safe side. Even many of the over-the-counter drugs could be a big problem here. We flew in with friends, so a four-way split on a taxi made sense for us. Taxis are cheap in Dubai, and they're often the best way to get around. Dubai has great public transport too with elevator trains running the length of the city, and a comprehensive bus network. Staying in Dubai may not be expensive.
You can spend a lot, but there are budget options too. We choose a Holiday Inn that was near our photo conference we were attending, and it was a $120 a night. There are also lost of (Arabian) and B options in the city. Choose your lodging based on location as the city is pretty spread out. The metro system is state-of-the-art and cheap to use. It runs the length of the city, but there are some under served areas. It can get very crowded at rush hour, but at least the trains will be moving when your taxi may be stuck in traffic. The best strategy is usually to choose taxi or metro based on your destination and the time of day.
It all adds up to a great reason to visit the United Arab Emirates, and that's what photographer and Strobist publisher David Hobby does in this installment of his series, The Traveling Photographer. Join David as he photographs Dubai's places and people, visiting with local photographers and sharing tips for getting around, finding the best photo opportunities, and—at least as important—staying hydrated in this desert city.
