|Sex Discrimination (Election Candidates) Bill
Mr. Raynsford: As the hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May) pointed out, clause 1 is the heart of the Bill. It inserts at the beginning of part V of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 an exemption for positive measures designed to reduce inequality in the numbers of men and women elected to certain bodies. It exempts them from the general prohibition in the Act against discrimination on grounds of sex. As the 1975 Act does not extend to Northern Ireland, the clause relates to Great Britain only, which is why clause 2 is necessary for Northern Ireland.
The clause is permissive and designed to give political parties as much flexibility as possible. An important principle is that it is not the Government's role to regulate the internal workings of political parties.
Mr. Mark Hoban (Fareham): I thank the Minister for the assurance that the Government do not intend to intervene in the workings of political parties, but is he aware that the Leader of the House said yesterday that the minimum 30 per cent. of male and female appointments should apply to future party nominations? Does that not run against the permissiveness to which the Minister referred in his opening remarks?
Mr. Raynsford: No. The hon. Gentleman is confused in the same way in which Opposition Members are confused about the Bill; he has confused appointments with elections. I have made it clear that the Bill relates only to the process of election and how political parties bring forward candidates for election. The principle applies in that respect.
When it would be more in order, I would be more than happy to debate the appropriate arrangements for the reform of the House of Lords. I pause to remark on the fact that, for not only decades but centuries, the Conservative party happily acquiesced to a framework in which an unreformed House of Lords gave it an in-built majority. I hope that it will willingly embrace a framework that will ensure more balanced representation in the upper House in future.
Mr. Lansley: My hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead was, in effect, winding up the debate on her previous amendment, so the Minister has not had an opportunity to assure the Committee that, in legislation on House of Lords reform, the Government explicitly intend to provide for the application of the Bill to future elections in the House of Lords.
Mr. Raynsford: In respect of elections, I gave that assurance in Committee on Tuesday and I am happy to repeat that we intend to apply the principle in the Bill to all future bodies that come into existence and are elected. Of course, I have already made a distinction between election and appointment, but we certainly intend to apply the same principle to elected bodies.
I owe the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire an apology, because he made an intervention on Tuesday to which I did not respond. It was about the role of elected mayors in London or any other local authority area where a directly elected mayor was returned as the executive. The nature of the post makes it impossible to achieve gender balance, as only one person fulfils the executive role. Our focus is on outcomes rather than process, as we debated to some extent on Tuesday, and therefore it will not be possible to impose a similar obligation of greater gender balance in the election of a directly elected mayor. There will never be a gender balance in the outcome; the mayor will be either male or female. That is logical.
Mr. Lansley: The logic of that is inescapable. The difficulty, which relates to a point made by the hon. Member for North Cornwall, is that by the same logic, Members of Parliament in the House of Commons occupy the single post of representing a single constituency. By definition, one cannot achieve gender balance in that role. That is the distinction between what happens in this country and on the continent, where proportionality and balance are often achieved by electing Members of Parliament as a body rather than for single constituencies.
Mr. Raynsford: I counsel the hon. Gentleman not to take his argument too far, as he may stray into territory that the hon. Member for North Cornwall will rapidly seize on as an argument in favour of a proportionate electoral system.
Mr. Tyler: The Minister will be delighted to hear that I shall not go down that track. Has he taken full account of paragraph 41 of the White Paper on the reform of the House of Lords? It suggests the possibility of some indirectly elected Members from the various national and regional assemblies of the United Kingdom alongside the directly elected Members. I made a point about that yesterday, as did the right hon. Member for Hartlepool (Mr. Mandelson). There is a strong view that that might make the second Chamber more democratic. How would the Government ensure gender balance in indirect elections to the House of Lords?
10.30 am
Mr. Raynsford: The hon. Gentleman raises an interesting point, which we shall address in our White Paper on regional government early next year. I made it clear at our previous sitting--I do so again today--that we intend the principles in the Bill to apply to elected regional assemblies. We are laying the basis for gender balance in such assemblies and if there is indirect representation in the House of Lords from them, it will be easier to ensure the objective to which the hon. Gentleman is committed. I give him an undertaking that we shall examine the matter in more detail and cover the relevant issues in our White Paper on regional government.
The hon. Gentleman claimed that the Bill imposes burdens on political parties. It does not. It is permissive, and provides an opportunity for political parties that we believe that they will want to seize. I was pleased to hear the hon. Member for Maidenhead, who speaks for the Conservatives on such matters, say that they want to seize the opportunity. They certainly need to do so to redress the imbalance in their representation in the House and we hope that the Bill will facilitate that process. There is no additional burden, so the doctrine that the hon. Lady cited--that when legislation imposes new burdens it is appropriate for the Government to underwrite legal costs--does not apply.
The hon. Member for North Cornwall prayed in aid the Neill report, which states in chapter 7:
Mr. Tyler: Does not the Minister recognise that we have a sacrosanct duty to try to produce legislation that is not open to challenge? It should be as impregnable as possible. At our previous sitting and again today, he accepted that political parties will require legal advice and support. All of us in the Room support the Bill's objectives, but the Government would be foolish if they did not acknowledge that some will not accept them. It is already clear that there are chinks through which challenges will be made.
Mr. Raynsford: The Bill addresses the problem that was clearly highlighted in the Jepson case, which created a legal challenge to the adoption of positive measures by the Labour party in the 1990s. We are addressing that problem, and the Bill provides for remedies to make it easier for political parties to introduce positive measures without risk of legal action. However, it would be a foolish Minister who did not give the advice that I have offered consistently during our proceedings. My hon. Friend the Under-Secretary also confirmed that we would advise political parties to take legal advice before adopting specific measures. That is prudent advice, which any Minister would offer on any similar legislation and I hope that the hon. Gentleman will take it in that spirit. We are rightly and properly signalling the duty on political parties to take responsibility for their actions, and the wisdom of taking advice on that. However, our measures are designed to reduce the likelihood of legal challenge and to respond to the specific problem highlighted by the Jepson case.
That covers the issues that have been raised in the short clause stand part debate. In conclusion, I stress the importance of enforcing the Bill in good order and at an early stage so that political parties can adopt the necessary measures to achieve the outcome to which we all aspire. The legislation will be measured by the outcome, which should be a transformation of the unsatisfactory gender balance that applies not only to this place, but to other elected bodies in the country. The clause is the core of the Bill.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013
Colleges and universities nationwide are invited to become host institutions for UNITE, a pre-collegiate summer program designed to ignite interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines among 10th and 11th grade students from underrepresented populations. An initiative of the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP), UNITE helps prepare students to pursue college-level studies and, ultimately, careers in engineering and related STEM fields.
Administered by the Technology Student Association, UNITE is well suited for higher education institutions that wish to supplement an existing STEM summer program with opportunities for underserved participants.
Applicant institutions must make a two-year commitment to enroll a minimum of 10 students in a residential or nonresidential four- to six-week summer program. Host institutions are responsible for recruiting and selecting UNITE student participants.
"Colleges and universities that apply have the opportunity to provide rigorous academic coursework with a focus on hands-on activities that will build student knowledge, ability, and confidence in their STEM studies," explains Louie Lopez, Cooperative Agreement Manager from the U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program. Classes at host sites must be taught by qualified high school STEM teachers or college instructors with experience and expertise in teaching STEM to high school students.
Seven to 12 institutions will be chosen as host sites through a competitive process. Since the program must be free for selected students, host institutions will be awarded funding from AEOP to support participant involvement. The deadline to apply to be a host institution is January 6, 2014. The Request for Proposal, as well as additional information, can be found on the UNITE program website.
"UNITE's projects and activities can inspire a student to discover a new career interest, while also providing vital life and career-readiness skills. The Technology Student Association values the important role UNITE can have in students' lives," explains Dr. Rosanne White, executive director of the Technology Student Association.
Last year, Stephanie Gomez participated in a UNITE program hosted by Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus. She said the program was "a perfect opportunity to experience and learn more about different careers, and my dream job of being a cardiothoracic surgeon." Gomez said further she found it inspiring to "be around people who share my same ambitions." She added, "I learned about math in our everyday lives, the golden ratio, supernovas, managing my time, how to study, how to use lab equipment, how to work in groups, as well as how to be a leader."

Kidman Resources will acquire the Burbanks gold mine, located near Coolgardie in Western Australia.
Burbanks is currently producing on a reduced scale under private ownership, and recent mine development has opened access to mineralized zones in both the Christmas open pit and Birthday Gift, which is underground. Drilling has outlined further extensive gold mineralization at both Burbanks and Coolgardie North, and there is outstanding exploration potential at both projects.
Kidman's schedule at Burbanks allows for a short break in production while both reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling is undertaken to upgrade mineralized zones to JORC-compliant Resource and Reserve status, both in the open pit and underground. Under this timetable, processing will start in the third quarter of 2015 at the nearby Greenfields Mill with a view to producing 20,000 to 25,000 oz in the first year.
Kidman Resources will pay Blue Tiger Mines Pty Ltd $3 million for an 80% stake in the Burbanks mine and the nearby Coolgardie North gold project, which includes the Gunga open-pit mine. Kidman will also inject $2.4 million to a total working capital pool of $3 million to help fund resource definition drilling and the stage one mining plan at Burbanks.
"These assets will enable Kidman to generate production and cash flow quickly and for very little capital outlay," said Kidman Managing Director Martin Donohue. "Drilling has demonstrated that there is extensive mineralization at both projects and that it remains open in several directions. In particular, the high-grade nature of the Burbanks mine bodes well for a high-margin operation, and the company intends to apply appropriate mining methods as dictated by the ore body to maintain grades."
Ore will be processed at the Greenfields mill, which uses both gravity and CIL with annual capacity of up to 1.2 million metric tons (mt) per year. The mill is strategically located between both Burbanks and Coolgardie North and is only 13 km from Burbanks.

In fall 2015, Weatherhead's Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program launched its new, advanced accounting curriculum, which was developed through a collaboration among Weatherhead's world renowned accounting faculty, recruiters from top accounting firms and the Department of Accountancy Advisory Board, comprised of leaders from national, regional and local accounting firms and corporations.
Because Weatherhead's MAcc degree program builds upon skills and knowledge developed in an undergraduate accountancy program, all admitted candidates must complete certain prerequisite courses in accounting before or during the MAcc program.
See the full list of prerequisites
The 30 credit-hour MAcc is a full-time program typically beginning in the fall semester. All required Master of Accountancy course curriculum is listed below:
Students must complete at least one concentration in either Financial Reporting and Attestation Services or U.S. Taxation by completing the related series of three one-credit hour ACCT 495: Advanced Accounting Seminars. The U.S. Taxation ("Tax") related seminars, ACCT 495T, are offered in the fall and the Financial Reporting and Attestation Services ("Audit") related seminars, ACCT 495A, are offered in the spring.
If students choose not to complete a second concentration, MAcc students may select one elective (3 credit hours) in an area that complements a professional accountancy career. A list of approved graduate supporting electives will be provided each semester. If a student hasn't completed the U.S. Business Law prerequisite, the graduate equivalent may be taken and used to fulfill this requirement.
Upon completion of Weatherhead's MAcc degree program, graduates will have satisfied the accounting educational requirements to sit for the CPA examination in the state of Ohio. Depending on a student's previous studies, they may or may not satisfy the general business educational requirements. If students need additional business courses to meet this requirement, they are welcome to complete the credit hours at Weatherhead by taking graduate or undergraduate courses for which they qualify. Program administrators can provide suggestions and recommendations for fulfilling these hours. If students wish to sit for the examination in a state other than Ohio, they are encouraged to review the educational requirements before beginning their studies in order to plan accordingly.
Review the general bulletin for additional information.


text: No Fear November 3, 2016 Let's play a little game… click here to listen to the audio of this game For one minute, let's pretend you have NO FEAR. There is no worry, no guilt, no fear and no limitations. Consider where you're at in your life right now. Is this where you want to be? Is this where you hoped to be one year ago, two years ago, 10 years ago? What about your life right now feels fabulous & free? What lights you up and empowers you to be the best version of yourself? What choices do you make every day that you're proud of? What foods do you consume, how do you spend your time and what activities do you enjoy? Now consider with where you're at right now, how would you like that to shift. What would you like more of? What would you choose more of in your life? What activities would you commit your energy and time to? What people would you choose to surround yourself with? How would your daily life change if you had no fear, no worries and no limitations? How would your body feel when you wake up, when you eat breakfast, when you leave the house? What activities would you participate in during the day? What would you eat? What would you do in the afternoon? How would you feel when you gently put yourself to bed at the end of the day. What thoughts would be running through your mind. What would you be proud of yourself for? What change did you make in that day? Living a life of true authenticity, from a state of true empowerment, is completely within your reach. You CAN have it all. You CAN be exactly who you choose to be, day in, and day out. But you CAN'T do it while crippled with fear and worry and guilt. You CAN'T do it when all you can see are your limitations. You need to break free of the grasp that holds you where you are now and be willing to SHOW UP for yourself. Showing up for yourself is different for every single person. Perhaps for you it's finally committing to a vegetarian diet for three weeks. Maybe it's deciding to read those spiritual books, at least 30 minutes every night before bed. It could be committing to ASKING FOR HELP whenever you need it, instead of feeling too proud to ask for or accept help from anyone else in your world. Admitting that you are not the world's protector and sometimes you two need support, love & acceptance. Whatever SHOWING UP looks like for you, it needs to be done. And I promise, I can help you get there. I am trained to help you get there. I work with clients to work through the fear, dissolve the guilt, banish the worry and release those limitations. We determine what foods are right for your body & your lifestyle. What exercise you can fit in and actually look forward to. What social activities you need to let go of and how to show up more authentically at each one. Who in your life is lifting you up & energizing you…and who is keeping you stagnant. What skills you already possess that allow you to puff up your chest and be proud of who you are. So as our games comes to a close, ask yourself, "How am I going to SHOW UP for myself today? Tomorrow? Next week?" Reply to this email with a brief sentence of how YOU are going to SHOW UP for YOU! One of the BEST ways you can show up for yourself is to ask for help. Your health journey does not need to be one that you go alone. You can have support, you can have a community and you can feel lovingly guided. My Accelerated Soul Purpose Program is only available until Nov 15th, 2016. That's 13 days to register for 6 weeks that will give you a true chance to SHOW UP for yourself! Click here to check out the program. In Health, Happiness & Pure Vitality,

The commentary that follows represents the Football
Association's response to criticisms made or below average marks
ascribed by the FIFA Inspection Group in the attached report[12].
The commentary and numbered references follow the order of the
report itself. A copy of the England's Technical Bid Document,
to which the FIFA report refers, is in the House of Commons Library.
As the report points out (pages 3 and 4), the
FIFA Inspection Group's assessment was based principally on the
Technical Bid Documents submitted to FIFA by the five candidates
on 9-10 August 1999. Marks based on this documentation awarded
by the inspectors are shown in Column A of the chart on pages
6 and 7. A subsequent, but less crucial, marking of the bids (Column
B) was awarded 30 days after the inspection, taking account of
clarifications obtained during the inspection and further information
provided by the candidates. FIFA marking was on a scale of five
(Excellent) to one (Unacceptable) (page 4).
England was initially given a marking of three
(Approval) and two (Guarantees) (Column A), as FIFA did not receive
guarantees from individual UK Ministries. At no point was the
FA advised that these were required. FIFA issued candidates with
a draft Goverment declaration covering all guarantees. The FIFA
List of Requirements stated that:
Two signatures were requested on behalf of "the
government authorities". The England declaration was signed
by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, the Rt
Hon Chris Smith and by the then Minister for Sport, Tony Banks,
who obtained guarantees from the relevant Government Departments.
FIFA questioned the validity of Mr Smith's signature. The Prime
Minister responded to this in a letter to the FIFA President on
5 January 2000 confirming that all the necessary Government guarantees
were in place. Even this Prime Ministerial declaration and guarantee
were not enough for FIFA, whose Inspection Group, for unexplained
reasons, could bring itself to award a mark no higher than three
(Column B).
Despite the inspectors' claim that no specific
guarantee was received, the FA provided a written guarantee within
the Bid documentation. Furthermore, a formal security guarantee
was included in the overall Government guarantee mentioned above.
Nonetheless and despite the FIFA Inspector's
admission in their Summary of Comments on England's Bid (page
20) that "England's ability to host major football competitions
in a secure and safe fashion, particularly as demonstrated in
Euro '96 is evident", marks of (only) three were awarded
in both Columns A and B.
England was awarded a mark of 2 (Column A),
raised subsequently to four (Column B).
FIFA required compliance with a standard form
contract with hotels, which had been created by Byrom, a firm
based in England. Initially FIFA's stipulations in relation to
the contract and the services of Byrom were uncertain. The FA
was not made aware of the importance of Byrom's role.
FIFA's sample hotel contract was considered
by the UK hotel industry to be extremely onerous and unworkable,
(the industry may have had previous dealings with Byrom and its
approach though the Ryder Cup). Among other requirements, the
contract stipulated fixed-price room rates seven years before
the event and that FIFA would be charged only for rooms actually
used. Byrom Consultants witnessed these objections at regional
hotel meetings around the country arranged by the FA, but no substantive
changes were made to the model contract.
When the FA came to submitting their Bid Document
in August 1999, it was able, reflecting the implacable position
of the hotel industry on the Byrom model, to incorporate only
a general, non-binding agreement with hotels in the Bid. Informed
during the inspection visit that unless FIFA's sample agreement
was accepted, England's Bid would be considered non-compliant,
the FA, with considerable help from DCMS and then only with great
difficulty, prevailed upon the hotel industry to conform with
FIFA's requirements. Even then, it was on the understanding that
the hotel industry's reservations would be considered were England
chosen to host the World Cup.
Understandable though the UK hotel sector's
objections may be, their position proved an obstacle to England's
Bid and resulted in low marks being awarded. It clearly is an
issue upon which Government, the sports authorities and the hotel
sector need to work together if future bids are not to be jeopardised.
The role of Byrom and their model caused difficulties with the
hotel industry. We have seen Mr Bitel's evidence. We note that
Mr Bitel had, or has, some form of relationship with Byrom, we
believe, as legal adviser.
England was awarded a marking of three in both
Columns A and B. FIFA questioned whether England could stage a
World Cup with a budget of (only) US$170 million.
England's budget was calculated with great care
by Deloitte and Touche over a period of a year and verified by
them before submission. England would have been able to stage
a World Cup with relatively less net capital expenditure than
most candidates. Many of England's stadia already meet FIFA standards
while others planned, under construction or being enlarged will
be completed whether or not the World Cup is hosted here. Thus
net capital expenditure on infrastructure would be comparatively
England's budget was discussed in detail with
the FIFA inspectors and no specific queries were raised. A marking
of only three is unwarranted: effectively what should have been
an advantage for England over its competitorsexcellent
existing stadia and consequently less additional capital outlaywas
apparently found unconvincing by FIFA, who marked England down.
FIFA again awarded marks of three and three.
Their only query was why income related solely to ticket receipts.
Before the Bid submission, FIFA were unable to clarify key revenue
aspects, such as what marketing rights were to be granted to host
nations. As a result, and, with hindsight, perhaps mistakenly,
Deloitte and Touche agreed with the FA prudently to work on a
worst case scenario excluding income from the Local Organising
Committee or value in kind.
Once again the revenue issue was discussed with
the FIFA Inspection Group, who raised no specific issues. If England's
revenue predictions were based upon a wrong assumption, the inspectors
should have said so, whereupon revised estimates would have been
submitted, allowing a higher mark to be awarded under Column B.
England's stadia were rated three (Column A)
and subsequently five (Column B). In the stadia chart (page 9)
and Summary of England's Bid (page 20), FIFA pointed out that
at three grounds "the dimensions of the pitch in combination
with the space behind the goal line and along the touch line did
not meet the requirements. However, within the 30-days extension
the written guarantee that the measurement will fully meet FIFA
requirements was submitted from each stadium owner".
Four other grounds (Leicester, Derby, Liverpool
and Sheffield (Hillsborough) were said by the FIFA inspectors
not to "meet FIFA's minimum seating requirement of 40,000
seats, excluding media (approximately 2,000 people and VIPs)".
On both counts the FIFA inspectors were technically
correct. However, as to pitch size and space behind the lines,
FIFA readily accepted that this was easily remedied and promptly
accepted guarantees that this would be done. On the second count
that four stadia, all of them seating more than 40,000 but not
42,000 did not conform, FIFA admitted that these grounds were
superfluous, as England had nominated 15 venues in all and far
more than the eight or so actually needed for the tournament easily
met FIFA's standards.
On these technicalities, FIFA rated England
three (Column A), the principal rating, in August 1999, raising
this to five following the inspection and submission of guarantees
from the three clubs. German stadia were, however, rated five
out of five and South African three out of five. In this, and
it could be no oversight, FIFA were not comparing like with like.
FIFA found technical fault, easily remedied, at modern, English
grounds which already existed and which in all other respects
met FIFA standards, comparing these with German and South African
stadia several of which are still on the drawing board or await
completion, or, indeed, which might never be built. For example,
none of the South Africa's stadia, some designed and used for
rugby and cricket, currently comes anywhere near to meeting FIFA
needs for covered seating. FIFA, moreover, chose to make no qualitative
assessment between England's modern, custom-built stadia and those
in South Africa and even Germany. The stadia charts blandly show
only capacity and projected dates for building or renovation to
be completed. Given the formidable financing demands of large
stadia building programmes (viz Wembley) and the risk of financial
and time overshooting, FIFA, were, in the FA's view, both wrong
and unfair to prefer the hypothetical to the real and, above all
in this key infrastructure sector, failing to give credit to England
where it was due. In faulting England for easily remediable, minor
points, the FIFA Inspection Group applied double standards. That
several FIFA Executive Committee membersnot supporters
of England's bidshould have poured scorn on the inspectors'
assessment offers objective corroboration that justice was not
Marks of three and three were awarded with the
"remark" that "three proposals were made, but not
seenno firm plans".
The FA deliberately offered FIFA a choice of
potential media centres rather than nominating one. Wembley Arena
and Conference Centre were viewed by the relevant inspector, Richard
Read, during the course of the visit. Additional information was
requested by and given to him during the inspection visit, which
appears not to have satisfied the Inspection Group that adequate
provision would be made. FIFA failed to explain why.
In summarising their findings on England's bid,
the FIFA Inspection Group rehearsed the strengths of England's
case and criticism of shortcomings they had identified. One new
criticism was raised:
When the report was published a few days before
the vote, the FA, concerned in particular that this criticism
might be interpreted by some as implying irregularity or even
corruption on the part of England's bid, sought an explanation
from FIFA. Having consulted the Chairman of the FIFA Inspection
Group, FIFA's General Secretary categorically refuted any suggestion
of impropriety by England's bid. He alluded to two (trivial) incidentsthe
over-enthusiastic use of promotional banners at the South American
Congress and to England overrunning its allotted 15 minutes in
its presentation at that Congress.
Whatever may be the justice of such minor criticisms,
a similarly over-enthusiastic use of banners had previously been
exhibited by the South African and German bids at the African
Congress in Ghana and most bids overran their allotted presentation
time, others by far more than England, without rebuke, let alone
it counting in the final ranking of candidates.
The FIFA Inspection Group's Final Unanimous
Ranking of the five bids was:
The definition of "well qualified" was: this includes
bidders which complied with FIFA's requirements after being given
extra time. The bid has satisfied the majority of FIFA's requirements
and is an excellent bid.
The Inspection Group added that their assessment and ranking
reflected all the considerations covered in their report but gave
no weight to political issues.
The outcome of the Inspection Group's report was exceedingly
surprising and disappointing for England's bid, the Government
and the many people, including Parliamentarians, who had helped
the campaign, which objective observers agreed had been conducted
in a highly professional way. Indeed, despite the decision of
FIFA to award the 2006 World Cup venue to Germany, England's bid
was regarded by many as having been the best.
England's final ranking by the FIFA inspectors behind Germany
and South Africa on technical merit was not, in the FA's view,
supported by the facts. Certain criticisms made by the inspectors
were arguably justified, but in no way detracted from England's
ability to stage a successful tournament. Far too much weight
was given to procedural considerations and formwhether
information was in the form apparently required by FIFA in August
1999and too little to content, ie the material strength
of the competing bids. Similarly, too much weight was placed by
the inspectors on the promises to meet requirements and too little
on infrastructure already in place. Above all, to have rated,
on 9-10 August 1999the date on which the inspectors principal
assessment was madeEngland's excellent, modern stadia as
inferior to Germany's and no better than South Africa's, was a
travesty of justice recognised by those familiar with the current
state of football grounds in the three countries. Not only was
it damaging to England's chances of hosting the World Cup but
it was also unfair to all those who have worked so hard to make
England's football grounds the best in the world.
The FA's view of the Inspection Group's assessment, was shared
by many FIFA Executive Committee members. At the Committee's meeting
immediately before the vote, David Will of Scotland, in roundly
criticising the report and rebuking its authors, was joined by
several other members, even Africans with a candidate of their
own to support. Having had first-hand experience of England's
stadia and organising ability, they rejected this key aspect of
the report as biased and unsound.
As the written evidence submitted by the FA on 8 December
explains, the withdrawal of South American support of England
in the final month of the campaign and hooliganism at euro 2000
were largely responsible for spoiling England's prospects. However,
the release of the Inspection Report just a few days before the
vote, although given little credence by some FIFA members, might
possibly have swayed others, such as those Asians who had promised
or who were expected to back England, or given them respectable
cover for switching allegiance.

16.1 In September 1997, the Commission put
forward a proposal[31]
to harmonise the use of human subjects in clinical trials for
medicines. The stated aim was to incorporate internationally established
standards of protection; streamline the administrative procedures;
harmonise the reporting procedures for safety monitoring; and
introduce surveillance measures. More specifically, the proposal
sought to reduce delays by imposing limits on the time which may
elapse before a trial can begin; to bring the functioning of ethics
committees into law, with a standard format for supplying information
to them; and to introduce a system for the delivery of a single
ethical committee approval per Member State in the case of multi-national
16.2 When we considered this on 12 November
1997, we noted that, while the UK had no objections to certain
aspects of the proposal, it did reserve its position on a number
of provisions. We therefore asked to be kept informed of the progress
of negotiations, and to be provided in due course with the text
on which it was expected that a Common Position would be agreed.
In the meantime, we said that we were maintaining a Scrutiny Reserve.
16.3 The Commission subsequently produced
an amended proposal[32]
in April 1999, taking into account amendments proposed by the
European Parliament at its first reading on 17 November 1998.
This would have strengthened the role of ethics committees; reinforced
the provisions governing exchanges of information between Member
States; introduced a new procedure for the commencement of clinical
trials; and provided for the involvement of the European Agency
for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) in clinical trials
of medicinal products deriving from biotechnological processes.
16.4 However, as we noted in our Report
of 30 June 1999, the UK continued to have a number of reservations.
In particular, it felt that the application of the provisions
to single as well as multiple site clinical trials was incompatible
with the principles of subsidiarity; that the definition of "informed
consent" was incompatible with existing UK law; that it now
reserved its position on the harmonisation of arrangements for
approval of clinical trials by ethics committees; and that it
also reserved its position on the increase in the role of the
EMEA. We therefore said in our conclusion that we would find it
helpful if the Government could expand on the reasons why it had
these various reservations. In the meantime, we were not clearing
the document.
16.5 Although an official text was not available,
the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of
Health (Lord Hunt) sent us, together with an Explanatory Memorandum
of 11 May 2000 and a draft Regulatory Impact Assessment, a copy
of an unofficial text[33]
which was to be included on the agenda of the Internal Market
Council on 25 May for political agreement. He said that the areas
previously of concern were now acceptable, and, after a further
explanation of the detailed changes which had enabled that conclusion
to be reached, we cleared the latest document, and the two earlier
versions of the proposal, at our meeting on 24 May.
Minister's letter of 30 November 2000 and Explanatory
Memorandum of 11 December 2000
16.6 We have now received from the Minister
a letter of 30 November, followed by an Explanatory Memorandum
of 11 December. The first of these points out that the European
Parliament Environment Committee adopted its draft report on 21
November, at which over 60 amendments were proposed, most of which
were not in the interests of the UK. In liaison with the Commission
and the Rapporteur, the Presidency had subsequently drawn up 24
new amendments designed to draw the Parliament and Council closer
together, and it was the Presidency's intention to ask COREPER
on 1 December for a mandate to agree these compromise proposals
with the Rapporteur, who it was expected would then present the
agreed position to the Parliament's plenary session on 11-14 December.
Since the UK understood that the European Parliament could be
persuaded to accept the proposals, and thus avoid conciliation,
the Minister said that, even though this latest version had not
been subjected to proper scrutiny, he intended to lift the UK's
scrutiny reserve at the COREPER meeting. He justified this on
the grounds that the UK supported the text now on the table, and
was concerned that, if it maintained a reserve, there was potential
for a blocking minority in the Council, which might in turn create
a risk of the Rapporteur introducing provisions unacceptable to
the UK. However, he also stressed that the compromises being sought
"do not represent any sticking points for the UK".
16.7 The Explanatory Memorandum of 11 December
confirms that the Presidency has now reached an agreement with
the European Parliament's Rapporteur, and the Parliament's plenary
was due to vote that day on the proposal. He adds that, if a compromise
"is in prospect", the Health Council will consider the
draft Directive on 14 December, and that formal adoption would
take place at a Council before the end of the year.
16.8 The remainder of the Explanatory Memorandum
spells out in more detail the main changes which would arise if
the compromise proposals are agreed. First, the Parliament wished
to introduce specific criteria for the conduct of clinical
trials in children, which the UK was concerned would cut across
a separate initiative led by the French Presidency inviting the
Commission to bring forward measures covering all aspects of the
development of paediatric medicine. However, it considers the
Presidency proposals ensure consistency. Secondly, the Parliament
had referred to "patients" in connection with clinical
trials subjects, the implication being that medicines could
not be tested on healthy children, thus ruling out trials in such
children of vaccines against childhood illnesses. The Government
considers that the revised proposals clarify this point. Thirdly,
the Parliament's amendments referred to the use of a "legal
representative" in connection with obtaining informed consent,
whereas UK law does not provide for this for incapacitated adults,
and the Government was concerned that the use of this term would
mean a significant legal change. However, the Presidency has since
confirmed that the wording will accommodate the UK system. Lastly,
the UK was concerned that the Parliament's amendment would impose
too short a deadline for certain biotechnology medicinal products,
but the Government says that the Presidency proposals provide
for an acceptable limit.
16.9 We have noted the position set out
by the Minister in his letter and Explanatory Memorandum. We do
of course understand the tactical arguments he has put forward
in favour of the United Kingdom supporting a version of the proposal
with which it was content, and we accept that the changes of substance
being made in this instance are not fundamental. In view of this,
and of our clearance of the earlier version of the proposal, we
are clearing this document.
16.10 Nevertheless, we are concerned
that, as the Minister himself acknowledges, the course he has
chosen to follow runs counter to the scrutiny arrangements laid
down by Parliament, and our concerns are all the stronger in that
we have also considered today a letter from his ministerial colleague
at the Department of Health (Ms Gisela Stuart), which puts forward
essentially the same arguments in connection with the proposed
Directive on the content and labelling of tobacco products. Though
the outcome in that instance was different, we would be concerned
if these two examples were to become part of a wider trend, and
we look to the Government for an assurance that this will not
be the case.

Although lack of unity may arise a posteriori as well as a priori, it should be remembered that lack of unity is not a ground of revocation in later proceedings. Therefore, although the objection should certainly be made and amendment insisted upon in clear cases, it should neither be raised nor persisted in on the basis of a narrow, literal or academic approach. This is particularly so where the possible lack of unity does not necessitate a further search. There should be a broad, practical consideration of the degree of interdependence of the alternatives presented, in relation to the state of the art as revealed by the search report. If the common matter of the independent claims is well-known, and the remaining subject-matter of each claim differs from that of the others without there being any unifying novel concept common to all, then clearly there is lack of unity. If, on the other hand, there is a common concept or principle which is novel and inventive, then objection of lack of unity does not arise. For determining what is allowable between these two extremes, rigid rules cannot be given and each case should be considered on its merits, the benefit of any doubt being given to the applicant. For the particular case of claims for a known substance for a number of distinct medical uses, see G‑II, 4.2.
When there is lack of unity, the claimed subject-matter is divided among the separate inventions. In this context the word "invention" means an invention having technical character and concerned with a technical problem within the meaning of Art. 52(1) (see G‑I, 1 and G-I, 2), which does not necessarily need to meet other requirements for patentability, such as novelty and inventive step (see G‑VI and G‑VII).

Verizon has announced the arrival of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Thunderbolt, the carrier's first LTE handset.
Announced all the way back in 2011, HTC Thunderbolt users felt left out of the mix without Ice Cream Sandwich for so long.
In a surprising move, Verizon announced the roll out of Android 4.0.4 update with Sense 3.6 to users over-the-air in the form of 395MB.
In its heyday, the HTC Thunderbolt was a pretty impressive device because of its LTE capabilities. Some might go as far as saying the Thunderbolt ushered in the LTE era we know today. However due to battery issues and frustrating bugs, the handset was quickly passed up by other offerings.
Nonetheless, we're sure Thunderbolt owners will be happy to update their handsets. Verizon hasn't provided a timeline for the update, but we suspect it should begin rolling out in the coming days.

Sexlike Warhol, she was voyeuristically obsessedgave her the attention she craved, and she surrounded herself with hippies willing to do anything for her (notably, the young gay men she called the Kusama Dancing Team). Publicity is part of my art, she declared in her sexual-freedom newspaper Kusama Orgy. Artists have to be in favor of publicity, good or bad, she wrote, because the garret life of Van Gogh and Modigliani is not where it's at. She brags that she was reported on almost as much as Jackie O. and President Nixon.
As she became more involved with happenings, she left the stabilizing repetition of her early work far behind. She staged a nude event in the MoMA, where a black man laid atop a spread-eagled white woman. (This is an act to destroy Power in the name of Art, she explained.) On Wall Street, her followers distributed leaflets that stated, Stock is a fraud and, Obliterate Wall Street men with polka dots. She opened naked painting studios and a gay social club called the Kusama 'Omophile Kompany (kok). But she wasn't selling much art. And the farther she drifted from her own art medicine into the more manic depravity of those bacchanals, the less seriously the more serious people in New York seemed to take her.
By the early seventies, Perry says, she essentially failed. So she returned home. She didn't have much of a choiceshe was emotionally unstable and running out of money. Japan wasn't any more hospitable; news reports of her happenings had already made her, she later wrote, a national disgrace. For a while, she spent her time making collages and writing strange cathartic novels with titles like The Hustlers Grotto of Christopher Street, in which she compares art dealing to pimping.
Eventually she built up a studio near the hospital, and thanks to a conscientious Japanese gallerist, her career slowly blossomed again. She's always been a cult personality, says Gagosian's Louise Neri, and controlling of her public image, like the trademark red anime bob she adopted in later years, or the way she tends to wear dresses that match her paintings, so she and the work blur.
Today, her studio life is a factorylike operation just outside the asylum. There she works on new paintings, colorful and hieroglyphic, with repeating motifseyes, profiles, tendril-like fringes, things that appear to be cells or viruses. And she's entrepreneurial. You go to her studio today, it's all so full of Kusama product, says Morris of the Tate. She's produced fabric to clothing to mobile phones. Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs visited her in 2006, and the two bonded over their love of making things, which led to their current fashion collaboration.
For the looker, not buyer, she's just as much a crowd-pleaserhow can you resist red-and-white polka-dot beach balls hanging in the Whitney's windows? On its first floor, the museum has installed one of her Infinity Rooms, mirrored on all sides, lit only with yellow and blue Christmas lights dangling like fireflies from the ceiling. You view it standing on a small platform over a dark, shallow pool of water. As you come in from the midsummer heat, it might just cure what ails you.

David Branham from Clear Lake, Texas, is the 2nd owner of this 1970 Mercury 'Hound's-tooth' Cougar. In 1976, David bought it from the original owner = who was a retired Air Force colonel who was assigned to Tinker Air Force Based located in Midwest City, Oklahoma. The original owner said that he never drove it during rainy days as he had been hit by lighting during a military training. "Every time if I'm out and I see storm clouds brewing, I rush home and the car goes back in the garage," the original owner said to David.
The Mercury Cougar is considered the twin brother of Mustang but lacked in power and focused more on being a luxurious ride. Some performance options, such as this Houndstooth, were available that made it into the luxury muscle car.
This classic ride is a special edition model known as the "Houndstooth Edition" that was created by the famous designer, Pauline Trigère. The original "Houndstooth" featured a hound's tooth vinyl top that matched the car's interior.
Original Hound's Tooth Top
Around 7,500 Cougars were made into the special edition Houndstooth package which makes them a relatively rare breed for the model.
When David was 15 years old, he did not like the top so he decided to get rid of it. He also did not fancy the original exterior finish which was light gold so he changed it as well.
David painted it with a metallic finish and bought a set of custom tires and wheels. After some minor touches, David was happy with his restyled Cougar and has not really changed after that. Aside from the Autumn Copper finish, Edelbrock manifold, and a four-barrel Holley carburetor, the Cougar is still in its stock and original condition.
David also replaced the starter himself at a parking lot of a baseball field during his high school days.
The 351 Cleveland M-code powering this classic ride is still original and has run over 88,000 miles. In 1981, this Cougar has been stored in David's garage since he bought his 2nd car.
This 1970 Mercury 'Hound's-tooth' Cougar was a really great first car for David and is very thankful for his father in helping him maintain this gorgeous classic ride. David promises to keep this Cougar within his family and will never sell it to anyone. Classics like David's Cougar are what makes them really valuable and what gets most of us into the classic car hobby, the sense nostalgia that comes with these lovely cars.

New Illinois Fighting Illini coach John Groce addressed the media yesterday. The Bruce Weber era is over in Champaign, and Groce talked about the future. Here's some of what he had to say
On the team make-up
"We've got four seniors who take pride in what they did in the spring and summer, in terms of leading the young guys."
On replacing Meyers Leonard
"You have to replace him by committee. We have a relatively inexperienced front-court, but we have bodies. But my bigger concern is ball-handling. People asked me if we're going to be able to play as fast as we want to, and I don't know, you don't want to put a square peg in a round hole."
On the NCAA's sporadic practice schedule, and how the regular practice schedule will help him learn more about the team
"We're going to get some information this weekend, as we practice back to back to back."
On leadership
"You can say you're a leader, but if you have no one following you, you're not a leader."
On who's getting better the most on the team
"The guy that stood out is Nnanna Egwu, you ask him to do 10 push ups he does 13. You ask him to become a student of the game, he goes in and asks for DVDs. He just goes consistently above and beyond the norm."
On how deep his rotation will be.
"I like to play 9, but I've played 7, or 10. I have no personal agenda, players play players, I just want to put the best team out there."
On ball handling
"Our goal is to have more assists than turnovers, with our attacking style we're going to have turnovers."
On Joseph Bertrand
"Joseph is extremely athletic, the more we get up an down the more it benefits Joseph. He's certainly really talented, and he likes to get the ball in the paint which will help our chances and getting to the free throw line."
on Sam McLaurin
"the thing I like about him is his versatility. And he's one of the new guys but he likes to lead. He'll be able to play four and five for us. The more stops we get, the more we'll be able to run out in transition."

In COACH RICE'S HUDDLE there's an air of expectancy. Entering the HUDDLE means you're ready 2 raise your level of thought, vision, and action. Expect and prepare to surpass your goal(s) & win this game one possession at a time. BALL UP TOP!
Friday, March 14, 2014
Get your brackets ready! It's that time of year. March Madness brings out every current, former athlete and wannabe coach and sports analyst in America. Everyone is super anxious for the field of teams to be chosen so they can enter their respective office pools in order to flex their basketball muscle and claim their spot as the undisputed bracket champion. I can't remember a year when the NCAA basketball tournament didn't live up to and/or surpass the hype of March Madness. From the cinderella teams to the dominant and storied programs, every game is critical, every possession is important, every strategy is intentional, every team has a unique story, every fan, alumni, analyst and bracketologist is hungry for victory and focused on making sure their bracket doesn't get busted. Sound familiar? It should. Imagine if we approached our lives as ferociously as people approach March Madness.
Before the tournament starts, everyone has a formula that they use to fill out their respective brackets. Some look at stats, others look at individual scorers, strength of each team's regular season schedule, the head coach, margin of victory, etc. Whatever the strategy may be, everyone completely fills out their bracket and has faith that they will win. Imagine having faith in something that we have zero control over that's out of our reach yet we don't have faith in some of the things that are within our reach. See why they call it "madness"?
As we MARCH into the final phase of the 1st quarter, there are three ways to effectively close it and step boldly into the 2nd quarter;
You want to win, right? Move up the deadline on those goals you've set and finish them ahead of schedule. As a matter of fact, add an additional goal to your original list of goals you set. Take risks on the action that will yield the highest reward for you. This is a time when you have to be selfish in your strategy. Take action that others might view as "crazy" or "overly ambitious". Let that gut instinct determine the end result that you want. This is the time when your heart and gut must be in complete agreement and are willing to stretch. Don't just write out your plans, write out your power and claim it.
When the MADNESS is at it's peak, no one misses a score update, an upset of a favored team, a landslide victory. Why? They re-structure their lives around the "madness". It becomes their priority, their focus, their obsession. Imagine if we rearranged our priorities and placed the same energy that we utilize on the "MADNESS" and place it into those daily tasks that we want to do and have to do. We would completely destroy our competition.
Become obsessed with finishing at the top, but moreover become obsessed with the fulfillment that finishing brings. Make the image in the mirror your biggest cheerleader and your most formidable opponent that pushes you to the edge of maximum competitiveness. Develop a sense of urgency, a "MADNESS", that leads you to record your daily wins and losses as you accomplish the predictable and unpredictable. Celebrate your small wins for the moment then wake up the next day like they never happened yet with a renewed and intensified hunger to go to the next level.
As you examine and re-examine your bracket, boldly follow the path of most resistance and march deliberately toward the goals you've set. Your bracket should be the envy and wonderment of those around you. However, your footsteps should be so definite and powerful that your teammates and opponents are left in awe. Allow your footsteps to be so phenomenal that you can't duplicate them and those goals in front of you not only see you coming to accomplish them, but they tremble as they hear you approaching. Put the necessary blinders on that help you stay the course no matter how far away the actual goal is. March so loudly that all those along the way recognize the intensity and intention of your journey. No need to talk loud along the way. Allow your inner voice to be your inner victory. Your work and your footsteps will speak volumes louder than anything your mouth can utter. Allow your MARCH to be the ultimate routine for the championship run. No need to look at the time. The time is now. No need to look at your teammate(s), they're expecting you to close the deal. Well done is always better than well said. So get it done!

Numerical Example of Statistical Process Control
One of the stages in the process of making denim cloth at the Southern Mills Company is to spin cotton yarn onto spindles for subsequent use in the weaving process. Occasionally the yarn breaks during the spinning process, and an operator ties it back together. Some number of breaks is considered normal; however, too many breaks might mean that the yarn is of poor quality. In order to monitor this process, the quality-control manager randomly selects a spinning machine each hour and checks the number of breaks during a 15-minute period. Following is a summary of the observations for the past 20 hours:
Sample Number of Breaks Sample Number of Breaks
1 3 11 3
2 2 12 4
3 4 13 6
4 1 14 7
5 5 15 8
6 3 16 6
7 2 17 5
8 4 18 7
9 0 19 8
10 2 20 6
Construct a -chart using limits for this process and indicate if the process was out of control at any time.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 19, 2018, 5:34 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
The process is considered to be out of control when the observed values are higher than the upper control limit (UCL) or lower than the Lower Control Limit (LCL)
Here UCL = mean + 3*Standard Error (i.e. Standard Deviation / Sqrt (no. of observations))
LCL = Mean - 3*Standard Error
For the present set of observations, the control limits are calculated as follows
Mean = (3+2+4.....+7+8+6)/20 = 4.30

An insider's look at the internal turmoil at one of the world's premier high-tech companies This is the inside story of Hewlett-Packard Company's struggle to regain its former glory, and of the high-stakes battle between CEO Carly Fiorina and family scion Walter Hewlett over how best to achieve that goal. For decades, HP was admired not only for its innovative products and soaring stock price, but for its egalitarian corporate culture and father-knows-best integrity. Backfire explains how the company fell on hard times, recounts the historic decision that made Fiorina the world's top-ranking female executive, and brings to life the backlash that resulted when she tried to impose her charismatic salesmanship on the aging icon. Top BusinessWeek journalist Peter Burrows gives the dramatic blow-by-blow of Hewlett's effort to kill Fiorina's most controversial move of all, her $19 billion purchase of rival Compaq Computer. Fiorina won by a whisker, after the most expensive proxy fight in history and a dramatic lawsuit that accused the company of illegally fixing the vote. This gripping, ongoing story includes fascinating personalities and dramatic boardroom and courtroom drama. Peter Burrows (Alameda, CA) has been a technology reporter for BusinessWeek for nine years and has covered the HP saga from the start. The department editor for BusinessWeek's computer coverage, he has been the principal chronicler of Fiorina's tenure at HP, and has written three cover stories on the subject. He has also written numerous other cover stories, including looks at Steve Jobs's Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealy.Backfire tells the inside story of HPas struggle to regain its former glory, and of the high-stakes battle between Fiorina and Hewlett over how best to achieve that goal.

I travel for work and don't spend much time in Asheville, but sometimes I go out of my way to stop off there just to dine at Posana. Excellent food and great service!

The first time I've eaten out in several years due to food allergies. We went to Asheville for a weekend just because I had read about Posana being 100% GF and it was wonderful. The servers and Peter were very helpful in determining what other foods I could have w/my dairy & soy allergies as well. You would never know the food was GF. I enjoyed a Mocha made w/hemp milk that was DIVINE. My only wish is that they would use Spectrum Shortening instead of butter in their bakery items, there was only 1 muffin option w/no dairy when we visited and I would have loved to had the scones. We ate their multiple times during our stay, I almost cried when I had a sandwich because it tasted like real foccacia bread which I miss terribly. Overall this was the best weekend in forever being able to go out to eat and not worry about gluten or contamination. Thanks Posana Cafe and staff, we will definitely be back.

The food was absolutely fabulous. We've eaten world wide and recommend this place. It's relatively new, yet Peter and Martha have created a unique superb establishment with outstanding food. Prices are reasonable. Food is unique, creative, and delicious. The lunch menu with the succulent scalops are highly recommended. Dinner (yes, we returned 5 days straight to this place) was great quality... everything was fresh and well prepared. Highest quality food.

The Jaguar Club
A refined sound requires a refined lineup, and The Jaguar Club's ranks have recently swelled and changed with original members William Popadic and Yoichiro Fujita remaining at the core. The new lineup is rounded out by Nadia Brittingham, from 'Medals', drummer Patrick Eager, and Gavin Dunaway, who toured as an auxiliary guitarist with the original recipe Jaguar Club. Close was inspired by a return to the idea of a band being "a band." Someone writes a song and then the group completely re-molds it fighting to fit their best ideas in. Hoping to catch the rehearsal room magic the EP came together over a week in a DUMBO Brooklyn studio under the guidance of Nick Stumpf (French Kicks, Caveman, etc). Tracked largely live in the studio with minimal overdubs, the result -as hoped - resembles a more lush version of the band's live show.
Originally a trio, founded on New Years Eve 2006, The Jaguar Club made a name for itself based on sweaty live shows, youthful energy, and extensive touring. The band have supported the likes of Ash, Teleman, The Joy Formidable, The Duke Spirit, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Ra Ra Riot, Bear In Heaven, and many others. Two EPs and an LP (2009's And We Wake Up Slowly) were released via the band's own label before the original lineup called it quits in 2010.
The Jaguar Club has just completed a fall tour with several dates in the UK including the Rockaway Beach Festival in Bognor Regis as well as a US Tour supporting Scottish band Idlewild. Stay tuned for more live dates in the winter, as well as updates on the new full length being developed.
