O mankind! Have fear [and awareness] of your Lord, Who created you from a single self, created its mate from it, and then disseminated many men and women from the two of them. Heed Allah, in Whose name you make demands on one another and also in respect of your families. Allah watches over you continually. ( Surat an-Nisa', 4:1)
Allah protects and watches all beings; controls, watches, witnesses, and supervises everything from the stars and solar systems to atmospheric events and to the societies and plants covering this planet, and from the human body's complex and complicated systems to the micro- and macro-universes that are invisible to the naked eye.
People may think that they are not responsible to anyone, and thus may live without a purpose. But regardless of what they are doing, Allah sees them, for nothing can be hidden from His Sight. Allah repays anything done with justice, for He has comprehensive knowledge. Many people think that Allah created the universe and then left it to its own devices. Yet this is only a delusion and an assumption.
Allah knows every invisible cell down to its minute details. While functioning in perfect harmony with the trillions of other cells in the body, one day a cell can no longer control its replication and thus causes cancer. We have no control over such developments, but Allah knows all of this and controls every phase. Just as a person cannot take a step without Allah's will, that cell cannot function without His will. Given that He is the Creator, Allah knows everything and is the sole source of all knowledge. No being can do anything without Him knowing it. One verse reads:
2009-08-19 11:42:15... Allah is watchful over all things. ( Surat al-Ahzab, 33:52)

Maryland Nurses Association Continuing Education Provider Committee
The Maryland Nurses Association (MNA) Continuing Education Provider Committee (CEPC) is the ANCC-accredited provider unit for continuing nursing education (CNE) within MNA and its Districts.
Consistent with the philosophy of MNA, CEPC recognizes healthcare for all as a fundamental right. Professional nurses play a major role in the provision of healthcare, therefore, they should systematically build upon their basic education through CNE that is vital to the provision of quality healthcare.
CNE efforts of CEPC reflect the American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards of Practice for Nursing Professional Development. CEPC believes that CNE enriches professional expertise, providing increased depth and breadth to practice, education, administration, research, and theory development in nursing. Each nurse is responsible and accountable for continuous personal development and improvement. CEPC further believes that employers, educational institutions, and MNA share in assisting the nurse to meet this responsibility and should work collaboratively to do so.
The purpose of CEPC is to advance the profession of nursing through activities dealing with CNE and enlargement of the knowledge base for nursing practice.
Each MNA District that provides CNE is represented on CEPC by a Designated Nurse Planner (DNP) who is responsible for ensuring that American Nurses Credentialing Center Accreditation (ANCC) criteria for providers are met throughout the CNE process--in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation phase of each CNE activity offered by the District. Each DNP is a registered nurse with a graduate degree and either an undergraduate or graduate degree in nursing. The DNP actively participates in the development, delivery, and documentation of the activity and completes and submits the "CEPC CNE Activity Documentation Packet" for each activity. The CEPC Chair functions as the Lead Nurse Planner (LNP) in providing administrative oversight of and orientation and training for the DNPs. The LNP is a registered nurse with a graduate degree and an undergraduate or graduate degree in nursing plus education and experience in CNE.
Committee Meetings and Resources:
CEPC members meet periodically by conference call and/or in person. The "CEPC Policy and Procedure Manual" provides guidelines for implementation of accreditation criteria during the CNE process. The standardized CEPC CNE Activity Documentation Packet completed by the DNPs is utilized in development, delivery, and documentation of each activity.
For additional information, please contact Susan Prentice at 410-944-5800 extension 10 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Revision as of 20:35, 24 August 2010
To help integrate the new features of OMP into our other applications, we'll describe in this document how we've modified OMP to make it easier in the future to backport.
Every change should be accompanied by the following information:
- Link to the original BugZilla entry
- Link to an exemplary migration example patch (within BugZilla)
- A rough estimate of the number of instances that have to be migrated across all apps
- A rough estimate of the time required to migrate one instance
- 1 Introduction of Routers (Florian)
- 2 Replacing HandlerValidators with AuthorizationPolicies (Florian)
- 3 Layout overhaul (Brent, Juan, Matt)
- 4 Listbuilders (Matt)
- 5 Form Builder Vocabulary (Tyler)
- 6 Introduction of User Groups (Juan, Florian)
- 7 Introduction of a different (non-role-based) URL scheme for the editorial workflow (Juan)
- 8 Introduction of a dashboard for users (Juan, Florian)
Introduction of Routers (Florian)
- The request class contained methods like getRequestedPage() and getRequestedOperation() which were specific to page request and not compatible with AJAX or more generally sub-component requests.
- We therefore introduced a distinction between the request containing URL and request parameters and routers that pass control to a handler operation based on the request information.
- A dispatcher is now responsible to choose an appropriate router for the request and let it route the request to a handler endpoint.
- We also want to reduce the number of static function calls which have been very frequent in connection with the Request class (advantages: enable inheritance, compatibility problems, design advantages). We now pass a request object along the execution chain, passing by the dispatcher and the router into the handler operation. All handler operations now receive the request as a second argument to their method call.
- The original BugZilla entry is http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4934
- A sample migration patches can be found here:
- There are currently 400 files which have non-migrated instances of 'Request::'.
- The migration of one file should take between 5 minutes and 15 minutes per instance, depending on the number of occurrences.
- This means that the overall migration effort should be roughly 60 hours.
Replacing HandlerValidators with AuthorizationPolicies (Florian)
- For a rationale why we replaced handler validators with authorization policies see our [Authorization Framework] design document.
- The original BugZilla entry is http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5540 which also contains a sample migration patch.
- All instances of HandlerValidators have already been replaced there are however still a large number of validate() methods that contain custom authorization code which must be converted into AuthorizationPolicies.
- There are currently about 70 instances of the validate() method.
- There are still compatibility classes for the deprecated HandlerValidator classes which must be removed.
- The migration of one method takes about 10 to 15 minutes, if a new policy must be written first (which will occur quite rarely once the first few files have been migrated) then we have to count another 15 minutes per policy. Removing the legacy handler validators takes not more than 10 minutes.
- The overall migration effort therefore should be roughly 15-20 hours.
Layout overhaul (Brent, Juan, Matt)
Changes for OMP: [1]
- Various locale keys have been added for navigation text (see the changes in the github commit)
- Added 'Select Role' and 'Select Press' block plugins
- Added omp/styles/omp.css file which contains references to all CSS files used. This file is the only CSS file needed to be referenced in omp/templates/common/header.tpl. The existing CSS files have been modified (see the changes on github)
- All javascript is being called in /templates/common/header.tpl. This means that the jQuery plugin is no longer in use. In the future we will be using Google's CDN to call jQuery and jQueryUI, and eventually other libraries.
- New container divs have been added to header.tpl, and leftSidebar/rightSidebar code has been removed. (see the changes on github for exactly what to change)
- A new breadcrumb file has been added in omp/templates/common/breadcrumbs.tpl--This should be able to be copied directly over (or eventually abstracted into pkp-lib)
- /omp/templates/common/footer.tpl was added to include closing tags for new divs added to header.tpl. When all of the application's UIs are in sync, this can be abstracted to pkp-lib.
Changes for PKP-lib: [2]
- Various CSS and Javascript libraries have been added to allow for new UI features, as well as new images
- original bug reports: tbd.
- sample migration patches: tbd.
- migration effort: tbd.
Listbuilders (Matt)
For form elements that involve simple manipulation of lists (like masthead user lists in all apps), the MVC structure of modifying this data can be compacted into a listbuilder handler located in controllers/listbuilder/. There are three source data types of listbuilders that can be used, here are some examples:
- Free-text entry (for adding new data to the system)--See /controllers/listbuilder/AuthorRolesListbuilderHandler.inc.php
- Drop-down list selection (for adding already-existing data to a new group or classification)--See /controllers/listbuilder/InternalReviewRolesListbuilderHandler.inc.php
- Autosuggest selection (Like drop-down list selection, but typically for larger data sets such as users)--See /controllers/listbuilder/MastheadMembershipListbuilderHandler.inc.php
- original bug reports: tbd.
- sample migration patches: tbd.
- migration effort: tbd.
Form Builder Vocabulary (Tyler)
- original bug reports: tbd.
- sample migration patches: tbd.
- migration effort: tbd.
Introduction of User Groups (Juan, Florian)
- change in the data model
- introduction of "acting as user group" in the session
- original bug reports:
- sample patch: tbd.
- migration effort: tbd.
Introduction of a different (non-role-based) URL scheme for the editorial workflow (Juan)
- description: Rather than using role based URLs for the editorial workflow we'll have a /workflow URL the content of which will change depending on the "acting-as" user group.
- original bug report(s): tbd
- sample patch: tbd
- migration effort: tbd
Introduction of a dashboard for users (Juan, Florian)
- description: We'll introduce a common entry point for users. Among other things this contains a submission list which will be common to all roles and change depending on the "acting-as" user group.
- original bug report(s): http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5807
- sample patch: This is a large change with an individual change set per application. Therefore a sample patch cannot be provided.
- migration effort: tbd.

Tech start-ups becoming new face of Indian IT?
It is unlikely that Gramener, Anaxee and Stelling are companies that most people would have even heard about, but these and others like them could represent the new frontiers of India's software industry.
Over more than two decades, India earned a reputation as the global leader in software outsourcing, but product companies - perceived as the mark of a true technology powerhouse - have been few and far between. With Gramener and technology product companies of its ilk coming up in large numbers across India, that anomaly is on its way to being set right.
While India is still a long way from showcasing a Microsoft or a Google, unobtrusively, technology companies have sprung up across the country to create products and solutions that meet the demands of local businesses. Quite unlike an Infosys or a Wipro, which are the creatures of global demand, product companies are coming up with innovations made in India, by Indians and for Indians.
From helping capture fingerprint and iris data for the Aadhaar card to crunching numbers so that chicken live healthier and longer, these companies are using cutting-edge technology to provide tailor-made solutions for Indian needs.
"We have reached an inflection point," said Sangeeta Gupta, senior vice-president of the National Association of Software and Services Companies ( Nasscom). The ecosystem is just about right for product innovation in the country and India is about to emerge as a leader in software products, she predicted.
Selling innovative solutions for specific problems
The company that helps enhance longevity for chickens is Gramener, founded by former executives for IBM, Deloitte and Accenture, and based in Hyderabad. It does so by analysing data provided by Suguna Foods, its client and one of the biggest in the poultry business. Gramener finds disease patterns to let Suguna know what precautions to take and even makes recommendations about how much sunlight the birds must be exposed to, the type of feed, and even the structure of the shed in which they are housed.
Suguna, whose sales top 4,200 crore, has deployed an enterprise information technology system from one of the world's largest software makers but it turned to the two-year-old Gramener to find answers to specific problems.
"Gramener's business intelligence helps us take the right decisions at right time and we also get value for money," said GB Sundararajan, the managing director of Coimbatore-based Suguna.
Zinnov, a management consultancy which closely tracks the technology sector, has estimated that since 1990, fewer than 3,400 product companies were seeded in India. But between now and 2015, up to 600 will be created every year, its director Praveen Bhadada said.
"Startups are able to crack this market by selling niche innovations to solve specific problems. The global products brought in by big firms may not be relevant to the unique needs of the domestic market," he said. Solving these specific problems is what Indore-based Anaxee Technologies is doing for the Nandan Nilekani-led unique identification project.
Anaxee was founded after getting an incubation opportunity and seed funding of 20 lakh from NirmaLabs, a technology incubator promoted by detergent maker Nirma. It recently won a contract to sell biometric systems to the Jabalpur Municipal Corporation in Madhya Pradesh for monitoring attendance of sanitation workers, a solution that has led to the discovery of many ghost employees.
Zinnov estimates that more than 5,000 large enterprises and over 10 million small and medium businesses in the country are ready to adopt technology. This will mean that product companies will have a big role to play in pushing the expansion of the $30-billion ( 1.6-lakh-crore) technology market by some 18% this year.
Even the Indian Railways, which has an annual plan outlay of over 60,100 crore, has recognised the need to embrace the innovation developed by local product firms. Noida-based Stelling Technologies has developed a technology platform - trainenquiry.com - which provides personalised, real-time information services to passengers about their journey and the location of the train on mobile phones and the Web. Started in 2011, Stelling has developed the platform in collaboration with the Centre for Railway Information Systems.
Like Stelling, Bangalore-based Vyoma Technologies found a business opportunity in tapping the millions of people who buy tickets at railway reservation counters with advertisements for their clients. Vyoma has integrated its software with the railway booking system and installed dual display infotainment systems at reservation counters for clients such as Canara Bank, ITC and the tourism departments of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
Founded by former tennis player Shriranga K Sudhakara and orthopaedic surgeon Madan Mohan Ballal, the company received angel funding from Indavest. Vyoma aims to install its systems across all railways stations in India and clock 100 crore in revenue in the next three years.
"Working with a startup is more economical, innovative and flexible compared to multinational companies," said Anwar Hussain, a railway official based in Bangalore.
Nasscom's Gupta said an important reason for the blooming of technology product companies is that professionals with experience of working with global corporations are becoming entrepreneurs and creating intellectual property. Besides, inexpensive technology, angel investors and mentor networks are supporting entrepreneurs to build products.
Even Germany's SAP, the world's largest maker of business software, believes that entrepreneurs and small- to mid-sized businesses make up the backbone of the economy. "They have the ability and power to drive innovation, create jobs and enhance economic stability," said Priyadarshi Mohapatra, vice-president for emerging business at SAP India. "They are helping to run lean and efficient operations."

It will be a privilege for you to witness and experience those special techniques as it will be of value to you.
Sharing of Experiences: Due to the various classes of people at the gym, you get to be enlightened in vast number of areas of life. Although your purpose of going to the gym is to exercise yourself but that wonít be all. Interaction between gym users can come about people sharing their experiences for others learn from. I believe this is an impactful and fulfilled thing to do.
Confidence is gained: As a result of the interaction with the people at the gym, this makes you more confident to talk to anyone, irrespective of their class and personality. In addition, your communication skills get to improve.

NHMS Notebook: Newman looking for a new rideBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 12. 2013 10:24PM
LOUDON --- Ryan Newman is looking for a new Sprint Cup ride.
Kevin Harvick and Stewart-Hass Racing made it official in a press conference at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday afternoon: Harvick is joining Tony Stewart and his race team for the 2014 season and he's bringing his Budweiser sponsorship along with him.
Harvick joins Stewart and Danica Patrick on the three-driver team, which leaves Newman as the odd driver out.
"No, we are not ready to expand to a fourth team," Stewart said. "Unfortunately, this will be the last year that we have Ryan with us. That's probably what has made this a bittersweet day. I'm bringing in another one of my friends to the organization, but also knowing that I'm losing a friend at the end of the year."
Newman said he got word of his fate in a phone call from Stewart on Wednesday and that at this point he does not know what the future holds. Word had been out for a while that Harvick was coming to the team, but it had been unclear what effect that would have on the team overall.
"I've had a good run and I'm looking forward to finishing out this year," Newman said. "I do not know what my future is. I have no idea. I have my homework to do ... There will be a change for me in 2014. I don't know what that change is."
Harvick has a pair of wins and stands fourth in the point standings heading into Sunday's Camping World RV Sales 301.
Stewart is 10th in points and has a win, Newman is 16th and 11 points out of 11th place, and Patrick, in her first full-time Cup season, is 25th.
Harvick has been driving Cup cars for Richard Childress Racing since 2001. He moved into the ride after Dale Earnhardt died in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500 that year.
- - - - -
NASCAR Nationwide series driver Parker Kligerman will be racing for the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth and David's House today in the CNBC Prime's "The Profit" 200 today.
His sponsor, North American Power, will donate $1,000 for every lap Kligerman leads in the race, up to $10,000, to the Speedway's Children's Charities with the money directed to CHaD.
Kligerman, who is in his first fulltime Nationwide season, sits eighth in the points standings going into today's race. He will be signing autographs at the North American Power booth on Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon.

JIMMY BLEWETT qualified first for today's Town Fair Tire Whelen Modified Tour 100 and Ted Christopher starts beside him. Andy Seuss of Hampstead starts sixth and Newman, who has become a regular in this race, is 20th ... The Modified race starts at 1 ... Regan Smith was fastest around the oval in the final Nationwide practice on Friday afternoon with a quick lap of 129.860 miles per hour. Sam Hornish Jr. was second and Kligerman was third.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Embattled San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi had a contentious first day back on the job on Wednesday, as the city's mayor continued to rebuke the lawman over a domestic violence conviction that nearly cost the sheriff his badge.
But a prominent supporter of Mirkarimi, who found himself fighting for his political life after a New Year's Eve quarrel with his wife turned physical, said he expects the sheriff and his opponents in local government to eventually smooth over their differences.
The city's Board of Supervisors, tasked with deciding if Mirkarimi could return to his job, voted 7-4 on Tuesday in favor of removal but the count was two votes shy of the number required by city rules to oust him.
Mayor Ed Lee had suspended Mirkarimi without pay in March and initiated the misconduct proceedings against him in a saga that rocked San Francisco's political establishment.
"The facts clearly demonstrate that Ross Mirkarimi's actions and his domestic violence-related conviction falls below the ethical conduct we expect of our elected sheriff and constitutes official misconduct," Lee said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The board's decision returns a convicted domestic batterer to lead the sheriff's office, and I am concerned about our city's nationally recognized domestic-violence programs," Lee said.
The case against Mirkarimi stemmed from a squabble with his wife, Venezuelan television actress Eliana Lopez, that the couple carried on in front of their young son, Theo, over her plans to take the boy to her home country.
In a cell phone video shot by a neighbor the next day, Lopez tearfully claimed her husband had grabbed her arm with such force that he left it black and blue. She said it was the second time he had bruised her.
Lopez later refused to testify against her husband in the ensuing domestic abuse case and sought to bar the video from being introduced as evidence.
In a deal with prosecutors, Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to a single charge of false imprisonment.
Mirkarimi said on local radio station KQED on Wednesday he expected to restart his work at the Sheriff's Department by getting a briefing from Vicki Hennessy, whom Lee had pulled out of retirement in March to replace Mirkarimi as acting sheriff.
David Waggoner, Mirkarimi's attorney, said the city had agreed to pay the sheriff back pay for the time he was suspended. Mirkarimi could not be reached for comment.
Former Mayor Art Agnos, Mirkarimi's friend and mentor, predicted the sheriff and other city officials would quickly set aside their differences. "Politicians make up very quickly," Agnos told Reuters. "Ross has always had a great relationship with domestic-violence advocates."
Suzy Loftus, a San Francisco police commissioner and former prosecutor, remained skeptical: "Let's see if (Mirkarimi) continues to minimize his conduct and portray himself as a victim or steps up and really tries to rehabilitate himself."

Gun control backers turn up heat on selected senators, including NH's Sen. Ayotte
By MELANIE MASON
Tribune Washington Bureau
Another View: Sen. Ayotte is doing the right thing on gun violence
Not-so-Happy Mother's Day card for Sen. Ayotte over gun vote
WASHINGTON - First came the letter-writing campaigns, then the protests at town hall meetings and now the television ads. The last several weeks in New Hampshire have had the feel of a heated electoral season - but the target of this siege, first-term Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, isn't on the ballot until 2016.Welcome to Round 2 in the battle over gun control.
The first round ended last month, when a proposal to expand the background check system to cover most commercial gun sales fizzled in the Senate. Ayotte opposed the measure, as did 40 other Republicans and four Democrats, dealing a blow to the gun control movement animated by the December mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.Supporters of tougher gun laws vowed not to let the issue fade, as it has in the past. The vote, President Barack Obama declared, was "just Round 1." But with the next election 18 months away and a Senate calendar already filled with immigration reform and the federal budget, the prospects for a renewed fight seemed dim.Since the April 17 vote, however, the issue has shown unforeseen staying power.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., last week promised a vote on background checks "as soon as I can." Sen. Joe Manchin III, the West Virginia Democrat who worked with Sen. Patrick J. Toomey, R-Pa., to draft a compromise, said he was seeking to win new support with "clarifications." He hopes for a vote before the August recess.Background check supporters are counting on a two-pronged strategy: an aggressive campaign by advocacy groups to unnerve senators who might change their votes and delicate legislative maneuvering to create political cover for them.Pressure to revisit the vote began to build when senators returned home for a weeklong recess in late April. Gun control groups, such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Americans for Responsible Solutions, dogged a few senators who had opposed the measure and disseminated polls showing steep drops in their approval ratings."The outside game is about convincing those who voted no that they've made the wrong choice. And that is happening. There are definitely second thoughts out there," said Jim Kessler, a gun policy expert at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way. Senators who opposed the agreement, he said, "expected the politics to work for them after the vote and so far it hasn't."Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who was heavily lobbied to support background checks, acknowledged on his Facebook page that his "no" vote probably caused his poll numbers to plunge, ranking him "somewhere just below pond scum."On Thursday, Organizing for Action, a nonprofit group backing Obama's agenda, delivered a petition for a stronger background check system, with 1.4 million signatures, to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Mayors Against Illegal Guns staged rallies in eight states over the weekend, delivering Mother's Day cards to senators urging them to side with mothers seeking to end gun violence.The mayors group, co-founded by New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, also dramatically escalated the air wars in New Hampshire, spending nearly $700,000 for two weeks of television ads battering Ayotte.The squeeze on Ayotte has roused conservatives to her defense. American Future Fund, a conservative group that does not typically weigh in on gun matters, responded Friday with television ads supporting Ayotte. The weeklong buy cost about $200,000, according to a media tracking source.The National Rifle Association, which vigorously opposed the background check measure, has rallied around Ayotte as well, first in radio and television ads and then with a $25,000 television ad buy. The group is also starting a nationwide direct mail campaign aimed at members, with additional mailers sent to non-NRA households in select states, such as New Hampshire and Arizona.Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA spokesman, dismissed the idea that the background check vote had triggered a backlash as "a manufactured issue by Bloomberg."
The relentless pressure by gun control groups could also harden opposition. In a fundraising email last week, Ayotte dug in and asked supporters for help. "I'm under attack for standing up for the U.S. Constitution by voting against flawed legislation that would have compromised our 2nd Amendment rights while doing nothing to prevent horrific tragedies such as Newtown," she wrote. "I won't back down."Flake, also facing heat from advocacy groups, vehemently insisted last week that he remained opposed to the original background check measure. Manchin has suggested he was not open to significant revisions. "It's a pretty common-sense bill. I don't know how you make it any more common sense except redefine some areas," he said.Supporters of the measure are optimistic that this back and forth is just political theater - a way for senators to lay the groundwork for changing their votes and avoiding the dreaded "flip-flopper" label."Clearly, this bill is going to have to look differently in order for members to face their constituents and explain why they changed their mind," said Sen. Christopher S. Murphy, D-Conn. "There are a lot of ways that we can modify this bill without significantly weakening it."

Kate Moss insists on regular smoking breaks when working
Supermodel Kate Moss has an important condition when she signs modelling contracts – she insists on scheduling regular cigarette breaks.
The British beauty insisted on a clause in her contract with make-up brand Rimmel when shooting a campaign for the company last week, allowing her a cigarette every 15 minutes.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Kate is actually a dream to work with compared to a lot of high profile models. But her one major stipulation is that she has extremely regular fag (cigarette) breaks."

"Ordinary consumers"? I think one needs to look at the whole thing as a package. Think back to the days of the chemical darkroom if you wanted to make your own colour prints...
Today we are getting far superior results for far less cost..
unless consumers somehow cover ALL the costs + profits right up the line from retailer to manufacturer, we wouldn't have all this wonderful stuff we are complaining about. :-)
Are they making egregiously high profits on all this?
it could well be that printing on any scale is going the way of the Dodo bird ... it means there will be an uphill battle to maintain the variety of supplies and costs we now have.

Japan's REITs a Bright Spot in the Market
TOKYO—One of Japan's largest-ever real-estate investment trusts posted a strong debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Friday, in a sign that the country's REIT market—lifted by hopes for rising property prices—could be poised for a hot 2013.
Shares of the GLP J-REIT, set up by Singapore's Global Logistic Properties Ltd., jumped as much as 7.3% on their first day of Tokyo trading, opening 3.3% above their IPO price of 60,500 yen ($720) and closing at ¥63,600. That performance outpaced the 1.8% rise in the Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index, and came despite a 1% fall in the benchmark Nikkei Stock Average.
The strong debut underscored how REITs are becoming a bright spot on Japan's generally lackluster stock market, bolstered by a slow recovery in commercial rental and property prices that were pummeled in the wake of the global financial crisis.
More recently, REITs have also been benefiting from increasingly aggressive monetary easing by the Bank of Japan, and hopes that the country could finally beat its chronic price deflation.
National elections Sunday ushered in a new government that has pledged to pressure the central bank to set an inflation target of 2%.
"An inflation target of 2% will have a big impact on real estate," said Naoki Fujiwara, a fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management Co. who specializes in J-REITs, though adding a resurgence of the J-REIT market will still take more time. Despite rising 33% this year, the J-REIT index is still at less than half of its all-time high of 2612.98 logged in 2007.
J-REITs also return more than ordinary Japanese shares, with an average dividend yield of around 5%, versus the 2.3% yield for shares listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
"Recently, we're seeing a recovery in the REIT index so it has become easier to carry out IPOs. Next year, we expect the REIT market to continue being steady," an official at Nomura Securities Co. in charge of J-REIT IPOs said. Nomura was the main underwriter for the GLP offering.
GLP officials said demand for the IPO was strong, especially with foreign investors, while pricing was set lower than average to lure retail investors. The international tranche, which made up 42.5% of the offering, had 10 times more would-be buyers than available shares, while the domestic portion was about two times oversubscribed, according to bankers.
"Supply and demand conditions are improving, office vacancy rates are falling, and the foreign interest level reflects why Tokyo is considered the hottest real estate market in the Asia-Pacific," said CLSA equity strategist Nicholas Smith.
The $1.3 billion offering by warehouse operator GLP, which is 50.6%-owned by sovereign-wealth fund Government of Singapore Investment Corp., is the biggest REIT IPO in Japan in dollar terms since the market was created in 2001. Japanese REITs have raised $3.3 billion in four IPOs this year, the highest volume since $5.9 billion raised in 13 IPOs in 2006, according to Dealogic.
GLP said it would sell 30 of its Japanese properties to J-REIT for $2.6 billion by Jan. 4, adding the proceeds from the sale would be used for investment in China, Japan and other countries. GLP listed on the Singapore Exchange in October 2010 after raising about 3.5 billion Singapore dollars (US $2.9 billion) in what was at the time the city-state's biggest IPO since 1993.
Logistics J-REITs—or REITs whose assets are comprised of warehouses—are increasingly popular, since the market is expected to expand in Japan as growth in online retail increases demand for high-quality and efficient warehouse facilities.
"One of the reasons Japan is such an attractive market is the massive shortage of modern logistics space," GLP Co-Founder Jeffrey Schwartz said at a news conference in Tokyo, adding that the increase in e-commerce calls for replacement of obsolete facilities and more efficiency in delivering products.

ATLANTIC COAST – A Florida couple had to move their wedding more than 300 miles due to the impact that Hurricane Matthew on the Atlantic Coastline.
A year of wedding planning -- completely wiped out by Mother Nature.
Ryan McCrea and Liz Serio had to scramble to relocated the wedding to North Carolina.
However, they both remain remarkably upbeat about all the changes to their special day.
Friday evening the couple exchanged vows and are now married.
Join WFMY News 2 in congratulating them and wishing a lifetime of wedded bliss and memories!
"You can't say what if. You can't say why or 'shoulda woulda coulda.' It's not going to do anything," said Liz. "It's not going to make you happier. It's not going to make the hurricane go away. It's a waste of time."
The couple has spent much of the last 12 months planning out every tiny detail of their dream wedding at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in the bride's hometown of Savannah, GA.
So, it would have been easy for them freak out when they learned Hurricane Matthew was going to crash their big day.
Instead, they're weathering the storm, moving their wedding, and making it work.
"It's not something we planned on but having said that, we are going to have an awesome story to tell our kids," said McCrea.
"It is hard to look back and see how much that we have, mostly me, have planned for," said Liz. "But when something like this happens, honestly, it's completely out of your control. It is important to have that freak out moment so you can get it out of your system and just think of everything at that one point and get it out and then just move on from there and that's what we've done."
So, they quickly decided to move the wedding to the groom's hometown, Raleigh.
They contacted family and friends who all agreed to pitch in and help in different ways.
On Wednesday, Ryan and Liz picked up the flowers and the food, which they had already paid for, and told all their guests to change their travel plans.
"We had a lot of friends say to us that they weren't coming to see the venue, and they weren't coming to see Savannah, they were coming to see us getting married," said Ryan.
They found a new venue, made arrangements for the photographer to come to Raleigh, and hired a new DJ.
They've done a year's worth of planning in just a few days!
However, the money they spent on their venue in Savannah was non-refundable.
Tony Pizzo, Director of the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum said they initially decided not to refund the couple because the contract they signed stated that the venue was not liable for any cancelations.
Pizzo says museum staff does a lot of work planning and preparing for weddings.
According to Pizzo, they've never had to deal with a hurricane forcing a couple to cancel their wedding plans.
Pizzo said he met with other executives at the museum on Wednesday morning and they decided that the weather was becoming a very serious issue that would be too tough to overcome logistically.
Ultimately, the museum agreed to refund half of the couple's money back.
"We are business people, too. We understand that people need to get compensated," said Liz. "It's just about finding a happy medium where everyone can band together and find an understanding."
Hurricane Matthew might have changed their wedding plans but it won't stop Ryan and Liz from saying their "I do's!"
"I'm just looking forward to being married to the man of my dreams," said Liz. "That's why we started planning this wedding in the first place. I'm not just saying that. That really is what it's all about, for sure."
"We are going to have a cool story to tell," said Ryan. "Everybody is coming together. We were just talking and we think it's one of those things where all of our friends are now closer because we are going through this with all of them."
Ryan and Liz's wedding will be held at the NC State University Club in Raleigh on Friday evening.
After that, the happy couple will go back home to south Florida before their 2 week honeymoon in Hawaii!

Retrovirus Conference Report
Three New Agents to the Rescue
January 1999
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Many experts fear that treatment failure will be a growing problem since current antiviral regimens can control HIV replication without completely eliminating it. The implications of such "residual" replication for the evolution of drug resistance were a major point of discussion at the 12th World AIDS Conference this summer (see Treatment Issues, July/August 1998).
At the just completed 6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, the significant amount of drug-resistant HIV in treatment-naïve patients became a major point of concern. Two U.S. studies (late-breaker abstracts LB9 and LB10) found at least mild resistance to protease inhibitors and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, appearing at a 10% to 15% rate. Resistance to nucleoside analogs had a 3% to 10% incidence, depending on the assay used. Not all of this reduced susceptibility to therapy is due to transmission of drug-resistant HIV selected by exposure to antiviral drugs in the source of the infection. The virus's natural genetic variability in the absence of drugs also is at work here.
The threat of drug failure has created a crying need for new agents not affected by resistance to the older ones. The Retrovirus Conference provided a further, and many times a first, look at a second generation of drugs that have potential roles for salvage or rescue therapy in people unable to completely suppress their HIV with the established medications. The most advanced of these is amprenavir, which should be on the market within months. Two more, ABT-378 and T-20, are entering phase II human trials and should be available within two years. These three, and probably their less advanced cousins, too, do not represent major breakthroughs. They all behave like other drugs in terms of potency and vulnerability to resistance-conferring HIV mutations. Even so, they offer advantages that will increase the currently mediocre success rates of second-line and rescue therapies.
Amprenavir (Agenerase)
Laboratory studies that attempted to generate amprenavir-resistant HIV by exposing the virus to increasing concentrations of this Glaxo Wellcome-Vertex protease inhibitor noted a unique mutational response on HIV's part. Resistance to amprenavir was based on a mutation at position (codon) 50 of the protease gene, a location left unaltered during the emergence of resistance to other protease inhibitors. In people, the picture is somewhat more complicated and less hopeful.
At the 6th Retrovirus Conference (abstract 118), Glaxo researchers presented a resistance analysis of people failing to respond to amprenavir (viral load remaining or returning to greater than 400 copies/ml). In the first place, 80% of 145 people not responding to amprenavir did not have detectable amprenavir resistance, only to other drugs in the combination. This still unexplained phenomenon has been observed with other protease inhibitors, most notably indinavir.
If their HIV did show resistance to amprenavir, volunteers who were protease inhibitor-naïve before the trials most frequently had HIV mutated at protease codon 50 or, one-third of the time, at codon 54. There were also supplemental mutations at codons 46 and 10. Mutations at codons 10, 46 and 54 commonly contribute to broad cross-resistance to protease inhibitors in multidrug-resistant HIV.
The picture was further complicated when the Glaxo investigators looked at trial volunteers who had prior experience with other protease inhibitors. When such people switch to amprenavir, preexisting mutations at codons 84 and 10 were the ones most frequently associated with baseline amprenavir resistance. The codon 84 mutation, like the one at codon 10, frequently arises during treatment with other protease inhibitors and also fosters cross-resistance to protease inhibitors as a class.
In CNA2007, which tested the combination of abacavir, amprenavir and efavirenz in a heavily pretreated cohort (see page 4-5 and 9-10 of this issue), resistance to amprenavir at the beginning of the trial was markedly less than for the other protease inhibitors. HIV resistant to the approved protease inhibitors was present in 72% (for saquinavir) to 84% (for ritonavir) of the trial participants. Only 45% of CNA2007 participants harbored HIV with significant amprenavir resistance. (See 6th Retrovirus Conference, abstract 133.)
Paris researchers obtained analogous results from phenotypic resistance testing in 108 patients at the Hôpital Bichat-Claude Bernard who had failed to suppress HIV replication after protease inhibitor-containing therapy lasting 2 to 30 months (median of 12 months). The patients had been treated with indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir and/or ritonavir, but not amprenavir. About 40% of protease inhibitor-resistant HIV isolated from patients' blood samples was also resistant to amprenavir, whereas cross-resistance to other protease inhibitors ranged from 60% to 90% (6th Retrovirus Conference, abstract 133).
Glaxo Wellcome submitted amprenavir's New Drug Application to the FDA in October. Amprenavir's application has not raised any nettlesome issues at the FDA, and approval will not require an advisory committee hearing. The drug should reach the market in early spring. In the meantime, the drug is available through an expanded access program that distributes it to people unable to construct effective treatment combinations with the antiviral drugs on the market. A subprogram is open to people who are not failing their current therapy in virologic terms but are experiencing adverse effects on fat metabolism. Fat metabolism defects include high blood lipids and redistribution of body fat deposits, the latter referred to as "protease paunch," "buffalo hump" or, more generally, "lipodystrophy." Although Glaxo concedes that the meager available data are not complete and surely not conclusive, its researchers note that there have been just four reports of fat redistribution among the 1,477 participants in amprenavir trials. (See 6th Retrovirus Conference, abstract 386.)
For more information on expanded access, doctors may call 800/248-9757. Demand has been high: The program enrolled 1,200 persons from September through January. A January 11 letter to doctors warned of a two- to three-week delay in shipping amprenavir to new enrollees. The company says that this delay has been shortened to several days, but some doctors report that their patients are still waiting three weeks.
In the test tube, ABT-378 is one of the most powerful protease inhibitors discovered so far. ABT-378 in the body achieves very high and stable blood concentrations well above the minimum necessary therapeutic levels. It is being tested as a one-pill, twice-a-day drug.
Abbott Laboratories, ABT-378's sponsor, has claimed that there is little cross-resistance between its new compound and other protease inhibitors. Indeed, the molecular structure of ABT-378 was selected specifically because it is not very sensitive to the key mutation at protease codon 82. This is the most common mutational linchpin for resistance to protease inhibitors, especially to indinavir and ritonavir. ABT-378 retained activity against three ritonavir-resistant HIV isolates from human beings when tested in the lab (see H.L. Sham et al. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Dec. 1998, pages 3218-24). This is not the whole story, though, for ABT-378's activity is hobbled by many of the same protease mutations that affect amprenavir in persons with prior protease inhibitor treatment (namely the mutations at codons 10, 46 and 84 -- see A. Carrillo et al., Journal of Virology, Sept. 1998, pages 7532-41).
Abbott is carrying out one pilot study in 101 treatment-naïve volunteers taking ABT-378 plus d4T and 3TC. By week 20 to 24, about 95% of those still on treatment had achieved viral loads below 400 copies/ml. Counting the dropouts as failures reduces this figure to about 85%. Diarrhea and loose stools, usually transient, were the sole notable side effect, appearing in about one-third of trial volunteers.
Trials for people with refractory HIV have been slow to get off the ground. A trial that recruited 70 volunteers with experience on a single other protease inhibitor is currently ongoing, nearly two years after ABT-378's resistance profile was first revealed. Trial participants switch their protease inhibitor to ABT-378 at week 0 and then switch their other drugs at week 2 to nevirapine plus the most active two nucleoside analogs that can be selected considering their personal history.
Sources at Abbott privately concede that this trial so far has had more successes than failures, although it is much too early to tally up the results in a definitive manner. At a community meeting held in conjunction with the 6th Retrovirus Conference, Eugene Sun, Abbott's head of antiviral research, took the highly unusual tack of emphasizing two examples of poor outcome -- participants in the single protease failure trial whose HIV rebounded at day 30 or day 50. Dr. Sun's presentation may have reflected the simmering controversy over accelerating research on ABT-378 as salvage therapy and instituting an expanded access program as soon as appropriate. In January, a national consensus statement signed by over 100 individuals and organizations complained that Abbott's delays in this area "have been unacceptable when people with HIV continue to be at serious risk of illness and death."
"[T]he community hereby demands that a broad expanded access program be commenced immediately, upon first evidence of antiviral activity [in a population unresponsive to established agents]," the statement continued.
Dr. Sun contends that salvage therapy research and expanded access is premature. He says, "We can't release the drug on top of other useless drugs, or it is likely to fail. The research has to proceed step by step." The company so far has a series of Phase 3 concept sheets that include a trial in single and multiple protease inhibitor-experienced patients, but a firm timetable is lacking as yet. The company does not envision an expanded access program until early next year, and that assumes the trials turn out well. An FDA New Drug Application for ABT-378 cannot be expected for another 18 months at the earliest.
One clear partner for combining with ABT-378 is Trimeris Corporation's T-20. T-20 is the most advanced of a whole new drug family. It combines with part of the viral envelope to stop HIV particles from fusing with new cells and infecting them (see Treatment Issues, April 1998). Because its mechanism is unique, T-20's activity is undisturbed by alterations in HIV that make it immune to other drugs. Trimeris has been quick to test T-20 as a salvage therapy for this reason. While Abbott faces growing complaints over its slow pace with ABT-378, T-20 provides an exemplary case of rapid salvage therapy testing.
The results of Trimeris' salvage protocol, TRI-003, were reported on February 4 at a late breaker session concluding the 6th Retrovirus Conference (abstract LB13). The eligibility criteria for TRI-003 were very loose: merely a viral load over 5,000 on current, stable therapy. Nonetheless, the actual mean baseline viral load among the trial's 78 participants was 100,000, and the group had been exposed to an average of nine previous drugs, including three protease inhibitors. Trial participants had to remain on their current therapy while adding T-20 through the study's initial 28-day phase.
At week 2, viral load drops in this heavily experienced population averaged 0.3 logs to 1.6 logs (50% to 97.5%), depending on dose. The dose response confirms that T-20 was affecting the viral load, rather than some confounding variable, such as patients surreptitiously switching their background therapies. The negative part is that by week four, viral loads in all the trial arms had returned to within 60% of baseline.
As virtual monotherapy, T-20 starts off strong but begins to lose its effect after just two weeks. Its behavior is similar to such drugs as efavirenz or 3TC, potent agents whose activity is curtailed by a single mutation on HIV's part. By contrast, it takes up to six months of protease inhibitor monotherapy before significant HIV rebound occurs because these drugs' resistance profiles are much more complex.
A genetic analysis performed on participants in a preliminary T-20 trial (6th Retrovirus Conference, abstract 611) found mutations in a region previously identified in cell culture as key to T-20 resistance (see L.T. Rimksy et al., Journal of Virology, February 1998, pages 986-93). In response to these indications of T-20 resistance, Trimeris is developing a second-generation compound that would bind to a nearby area of the HIV envelope. This compound would be useful for rescuing people whose HIV had become insensitive to T-20 (6th Retrovirus Conference, abstracts 616 and 617). And so the same old race to counter HIV's mutations begins anew.
One should not dismiss T-20's accomplishments nonetheless. The recent trial tested the compound in the population that is hardest of all to treat. T-20 effected reductions in HIV that none of the established antivirals could have accomplished in this heavily pretreated, high viral load cohort. Another positive outcome of this trial was that the simpler mode of administering T-20, twice-daily subcutaneous injections, appeared as effective as a portable infusion pump that delivers a constant T-20 dribble under the skin. (T-20 is a peptide, a short protein fragment, and cannot be taken orally because it would be broken down in the digestive tract.) So far, the major side effect has been rash and bumps at the injection site.
T-20, like other anti-HIV drugs, obviously has to be used as part of an effective combination to prevent the rapid emergence of drug resistance, and Trimeris researchers say they are interested in making arrangements to combine T-20 with other companies' experimental agents. For now, though, the next trial will test T-20 for 16 weeks in combination with up to six standard drugs for persons with single or multiple protease inhibitor failure and naïve to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (delavirdine, efavirenz, nevirapine). The principal stumbling block at present is synthesizing this 36-amino acid molecule at reasonable cost. Trimeris claims to be slowly expanding production and attaining economies of scale, but the compound will always cost substantially more than any of the anti-HIV agents now in pharmacies.

And here I thought the MySpace thing was bad. Get a load of this!
"There's a mother named Robin Neorr here in the Columbus area. After her daughter was born late last year and she went back to work, she enrolled her daughter in one of the City Kids Daycare in downtown Columbus.
Robin was told that she would need to pay an extra $50 per WEEK because her 3 month old daughter is breastfed. You read that right, an extra $50 a week to feed that little girl the best food available for her."
Read the whole article here at The Lactivist Breastfeeding Blog: City Kids DayCare Chain Charges Mom MORE Money to Watch Breastfed Infant
Like it's not hard enough for a mom to go back to work and pump throughout the day. Now she has to deal with opposition and discrimination from her child care provider. What is wrong with this world? We need to support mothers, not make life harder for them.
If you disagree with the daycare center's policy, please send an email – firstname.lastname@example.com – (I just sent mine including a link to 101 Reasons to Breastfeed Your Child) or call City Kids DayCare – (614) 464-1411, or (614)777-4320 – and pass this along to get the word out. Thanks!

The UK broadcaster has debuted a 4K-ready upgrade to its set-top box, which also sports a new interface and the power to watch recorded TV on your tablet.
Despite its modern menus and integrated Wi-Fi, the Pure Avalon 300R's paltry support for catch-up TV services and lack of catch-up integration in its EPG make it feel like a new riff on old technology. Unfortunately it's not quite in step with the likes of YouView's set-top box, which signalled a new dawn for Freeview HD recorders.
The Humax HDR-1000S Freesat+ HD box with free time impresses with its easy-to-use interface and strong recording features. The backwards-in-time EPG works well but the on-demand services are not as tightly integrated as on YouView. It needs more service providers to come on board and I'd like to see the EPG populate faster and playback of on-demand programmes to start up quicker.
It's taken an age to arrive, but the Humax DTR-T1000 shows that YouView was worth the wait. Its excellent user interface seamlessly combines on-demand and broadcast TV, while digital TV recording features are first class. It's pricey and is missing a few bells and whistles that would make it perfect, but it's still easy to recommend.
The Humax PVR-9150T is a no-frills, standard-definition Freeview recorder for those still enslaved by Scart. It's dull, but it's quiet and it does what it says on the tin.
The TVonics DTR-Z500HD is a fast and funky Freeview HD digital recorder. Supremely easy to use, it's an ideal choice if you're upgrading from analogue TV. While there are some standard-definition recording-quality issues, its hi-def performance is terrific.
TiVo is a must-have upgrade if you currently get your TV through Virgin Media and want to continue doing so, or if you want the most powerful PVR on the market. For everyone else, there's still much work to be done on the software before we can recommend it as a reason to switch TV providers.
Sharp's TUT2HR32 Freeview+HD recorder ticks the right boxes, with twin HD tuners, a 320GB hard drive and bright, colourful interface. Unfortunately, it also generates more fan noise than a Take That concert.
Toshiba's HDR5010 does everything a Freeview HD digital TV recorder should do, without fuss or fanfare. It's intuitive to use, has a generous hard drive and is well priced at around £200. It's just the ticket if you want a box to record dramas, not create them.
The Goodmans GDB300HD is a good Freeview HD box that does the job for a pretty small sum of money. At around £70, we think it represents a great deal.
The Panasonic DMR-XW380 is a sleek PVR, and one that we think everyone will enjoy using. The problem is the hard drive is too small, it's too expensive and you can't save HD recordings to DVD.
The TVonics DTR-HD500 is a great little Freeview PVR with a decent amount of features and, most crucially, impressive picture quality.
Bin your preconceptions -- Sky 3D really does usher in a whole new way of enjoying TV. Consumed in small doses, Sky's 3D channel is fun, fresh and frighteningly addictive.
The Sky+HD 1TB satellite box is a peach of a PVR. A huge hard drive means you no longer have to ration your recordings and the interface is slick and easy to use. With 3D compatibility and Sky's Anytime+ video-on-demand service just around the corner, it's a must-have upgrade for any self-respecting hi-def obsessive.
The IP Vision FetchTV SmartBox 8000 is a good idea, but it has two massive problems in the credit card registration process and Freeview picture quality. While it has some impressive features, we simply can't recommend you spend your money on this Freeview PVR.
The TechniSat HDFV is a decent piece of kit with superb picture quality and the advantage of being able to record to USB. We'd like to see its Wi-Fi abilities improved somewhat to allow more exciting features.
The Humax HDR-FOX T2 is a very good Freeview HD PVR that we have no problem recommending. The only issues we have are with its low storage capacity and high price. It's a capable machine, though, that works very well indeed.
The Virgin Media V HD box would make a super second, or even a main, receiver for people who appreciate that the PVR is on its way out, in these days of IPTV
