Archaeopteryx (är´kēŏp´tərĬks) [Gr.,=primitive wing], a 150 million-year-old fossil animal first discovered in 1860 in the late Jurassic limestone of Solnhofen, Bavaria, and described the following year. All eight known fossils of Archaeopteryx, discovered between 1860 and 1992, were found in a 516 sq-mi (1,336 sq-km) area of the Solnhofen quarries. First classified as a bird because of the presence of feathers and the structure of the legs and wings, it nevertheless has many characteristics now found only in reptiles or in bird embryos. It was long regarded as the most primitive known bird, but more recent discoveries of fossils that have feathers and other birdlike features while also retaining strong dinosaurlike characteristics has led some to argue that Archaeopteryx is in fact a feathered dinosaur that should be grouped with the theropods. It is still debated whether Archaeopteryx, which was about the size of a pigeon or grackle, was arboreal or a swiftly running terrestrial animal and poor flyer; its feathers appear to have been too weakly constructed to be useful for active flight. Some claimed that a fossil discovered in West Texas in 1983 and dubbed Protoavis represents a primitive bird that predated Archaeopteryx by some 75 million years, but many experts also have questioned whether Protoavis is in fact a bird or even an correctly reconstructed animal.
See L. M. Witmer, The Search for the Origin of Birds (1995); A. Feduccia, The Origin and Evolution of Birds (1996); S. Chatterjee, The Rise of Birds (1997); P. Shipman, Taking Flight: Archaeopteryx and the Evolution of Bird Flight (1998).

Dr. Tom Tooma
Laser Eye Care of California
16255 Ventura Blvd. Suite 100
Encino, California 91436
Dear Dr. Tooma:
During an inspection of your facility located in Encino, California on June
11, 2009, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) determined that your firm is a medical device user facility and is subject
to the statutory reporting requirements of the
Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulation, found at Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 803.
The ophthalmic laser used at your facility to perform Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASlK) procedures is a medical device under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 321(h). This product is a device because it is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body.
The inspection revealed that your facility is not in conformance with the MDR regulations found at 21 CFR Part 803. Although no Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations, was issued to your firm, the observed violations were reported to you and formally discussed with your firm's management at the close of the inspection. The LASIK devices used at your facility are misbranded under section 502(t)(2) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(t)(2), in that your firm failed or refused to furnish material or information respecting the device that is required by or under section 519 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360i, and 21 CFR Part 803. Significant deviations include, but are not limited to, the following:
Failure to develop, maintain, and implement written MDR procedures as required by 21 CFR 803.17.
You should take prompt action to correct the violation addressed in this
letter. Failure to promptly correct this violation may result in regulatory
action being initiated by FDA without further notice. These actions include, but
arc not limited to, seizure, injunction, and/or civil
money penalties. Also, other Federal Agencies may take this Warning Letter into account when considering the award of contracts.
Please notify this office in writing within fifteen working days from the
date you receive this letter of the specific steps you have taken to correct the
noted violations, including an explanation of how you plan to prevent these
violation, or similar violation, from occurring
again. Include documentation of the corrective action you have taken. If your planned corrections will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of those corrections.
Your response should be sent to: Ronald Swann, Branch Chief, Dental, ENT, and Ophthalmic Devices, 10903 New Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20993. If you have any questions about the content of this letter please contact Mr. Swann at (301) 796-5770.

to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA.
The specific violation noted in this letter may be symptomatic
of serious problems in your firm and corporate-level reporting systems. You should investigate and determine the causes of the violation, and take prompt actions to correct the violation and to bring your products into compliance.

The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter was the primary all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and its successor governments. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, it was a favorite with Rebel and New Republic pilots. Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission.
France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.

Dennis Edwards Brings His Temptations' Review to the Bronx
The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards will appear with the Marvelettes at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
Excited fans will meet classic singers at Lehman Center
for the Performing Arts in the Bronx, on Saturday, April 9th at 8:00
p.m. Dennis Edwards headlines with his
Temptations' Review and The Marvelettes; both groups reminding fans of the glory
days of Motown.
Audiences that remember Temptation songs like "Papa Was A
Rolling Stone," "Cloud Nine" and "My Girl," and "Too Many Fish In The Sea," and
"Please Mr. Postman," by the Marvelettes, will enjoy their favorites LIVE.
Dennis Edwards took the time to chat on Blakeradio.com,
Rainbow Soul, via my shows, "Topically Yours" and Music Pastures on Soulinterviews.com.
"You know the fans always like to hear our hits. We can't get away from that. I am also looking forward to sharing the
stage with our Motown sister group, The Marvelettes. Listening to some of the songs the
Temptations' sang, brings back memories.
For me, it has a different meaning. Eddie, David, Paul and Melvin are gone now. Hearing their voices, I sometimes get
emotional" remarked Edwards. "When I
listen to "Cloud Nine," I recall our first Grammy. When I first joined the Temps, I knew I could
sing but I was worrying about learning their dance steps. I practiced 9 hours a day learning the steps
for 2 straight weeks. Finally, I
realized it's basically timing and hard work.
It's not all glitter and glam, show biz takes blood and sweat. To replace someone as great as David Ruffin, I
had to come out with something super," explained the lead singer.
It was after listening to Dance to the Music by Sly Stone that the Temptations struck upon
the idea of each Temptation singing a line a piece which introduced something
new to their singing style. "We took a
chance with "Cloud Nine," and "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" because the songs were
long. Back then songs were no longer
than 3 minutes. After our success with "Cloud
Nine," we did Psychedelic Shack and Ball of Confusion. Then we came up with "Papa Was A Rolling
Stone." We liked the beat but thought we
wouldn't get airplay from the disk jockeys due to its length. But it caught on"
recalled the Fairfield, Alabama, born singer.
"I was born in Alabama but we moved to Detroit so my
father could work in the car industry.
My father was also a minister. In
fact, my father, Eddie's father and Paul's father sang in a gospel group in
Alabama. I guess that is why we three
grew up to be good singers. My folks
were sanctified so I wasn't allowed to play rock 'n roll in my house. I had to sneak to hear it. When I first got with the Temptations, my mom
was very religious and used to tell me I was singing for the devil. After I started to make money, I brought her
some money but she refused it. She said
she didn't want the devil's money. It
hurt my feelings but I left the money on the fireplace. Later, Mama called me and said she hoped God
didn't mind if she used some of that money because she had to pay some
bills. We were Ok after that," chuckled
Dennis who had a hit single with "Don't Look Any Further."
In 1984, Dennis left the
Temptations. "I was good friends with
Teddy Pendergrass. He left his group and
I was upset about something that happened with Temp management. Lead singers can be eccentric sometimes. Because I was upset, I quit the group for a
few months. During that time, I recorded
the song "Don't Look Any Further." The
song was written by Dennis Lampert, Franne Golde and Duane Hitchings and sung
by Dennis and Siedah Garrett. It peaked
at #2 on the Billboard Black Singles chart and peaked at #72 on the Billboard
Hot 100. "The story behind the song is Lampert
was on safari in South Africa and heard natives in the field chanting. He found the chant so haunting he taped it. Once in the studio, he was messing around with
groves and thought of that chant and well that is how "Don't Look Any Further,"
came about," said Dennis.
Dennis married one of the
Pointer Sisters. "I married Ruth Pointer
in Las Vegas after we met on tour. We had
a beautiful daughter named Issa, together.
Issa is married now and living in Alabama. She gave me a grandbaby not so long ago. Ruth and I were together for a while but we
realized we made better friends.
Sometimes things happen that way" said the Temp.
"I bet you didn't know that
David Ruffin and Teddy Pendergrass were drummers originally," informed Dennis. "When I first joined the group there was Paul
Williams, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and Eddie Kendricks and of course I
replaced David Ruffin. Elbridge Bryant
was an "original member" with the group four years before I joined. Bryant got into a fight with Paul and was put
out of the group. When he left, the
Temps were looking to replace him. It
was then they discovered a drummer already with the group, could sing. That drummer was David Ruffin" remarked
Dennis. The Temps were inducted in the Rock
n' Roll Hall of Fame. For the first time
in the history of the Hall, the Hall decided to induct 6 members. "I was inducted, although I wasn't an
original member. Eddie, David and I
generated so much excitement while walking down Park Avenue that afterwards we
decided to form Ruffins, Kendricks and Edwards" remarked the award winner.
The Temptation Review
consists of Mike Patillo, David Sea who replaced David Ruffin, Chris Arnold who
replaced Eddie Kendrick, and a surprise personage to be announced at the Lehman
Center performance.

The purity of the fruit here is a delight, with dense aromas of sweet plums and blueberries. Really succulent and round on the palate with a long, complex finish that belies the wine's relatively humble price. 30% of the wine was aged for 6 months in second and third use French oak.
Nonni means Grandad, and this lovely little Malbec is a celebration of Maria and Mariano Innocenti's great Grandads, who jointly started together in business over a hundred years ago.
"Got my wine today, thanks very much for the great wine, quick email responses and friendly attitude. Very impressed overall and I hope to return and buy more from you in the future!"
Ollie, Hungerford
"Hi there, I just wanted to leave some feedback. After someone, who shall remain nameless, downed our bottle of La Poderosa (which we were saving for our anniversary), my fiance and I embarked on a mission to try and find the elusive 2006 reserve. No luck with anyone on the high street, not even the big wine warehouses. Then I came across your site. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw you had it in stock. The delivery was super quick and the bottle is now stored away safely until November the 18th. Thank you for a fabulous service!"
Stephanie, London
"Great quality and very good value – very pleased."
Victoria, Hove
"Really good, personal service, everything arrived when it was supposed to and the wines were superb. I will use AWOL again."
John, London
"I wasn't quite sure which wines to buy so I gave them a call and picked their brains. Brilliant, friendly service all round, I can recommend it."
Simon, East Sussex
"At last, a company that understands wine from Argentina, how good it is and why it should have its own special place online. Well done."
David, East Kilbride
"It's nice to find a company that's as enthusiastic about wine as I am."
Michelle, Shropshire
"I didn't know there was so much choice available from Argentina. I'll still buy wines from other countries but this is now my first port of call for Argentina."
Gavin, Lancashire
"The wonders of the modern age.... Would you believe I am currently on a Delta airways flight using WiFi currently over Lake Erie flying from New York to Salt Lake City and I have just ordered a mixed case of wine from AWOL....!"
Paul, London

So how is such control defined? What does Alabama's interlock law require, and when is it applied? When is it possible to challenge a field sobriety test?
This expert-led webinar features an enlightening discussion on the state of DUI laws in Alabama and how to help clients through the process. Your presenter, an experienced Alabama attorney, will give you new insights into DUI defense best practices and update you on the latest cases of interest.

Troy-mendous: Make movies, not war
In terms of historical accuracy, Troy, inspired by Homer's The Iliad, is probably on a par with Van Helsing. In terms of balancing intimate stories with spectacular battles in an old-school-sized epic, it's closer to Gladiator.
You've probably heard this movie made Brad Pitt give up cigarettes, but he's still smokin'! As the mercenary warrior Achilles, used by King Agamemnon (Brian Cox) to unite Greece through conquest, he works hard for the money, showing off his skills with sword and spear when he's not striking poses to be used as models for action figures.
Achilles is a diva who craves the spotlight and is obsessed with being remembered by future generations, even as he complains about the downside of celebrity. In other words, Pitt plays himself.
Agamemnon is a contradictory figure who advocates settling things "in the old way– your best fighter against my best"; but when he finds an excuse to attack Troy he wants to kill everyone, even though one of his stated purposes is being able to join Troy's army with Greece's.
Likewise, Troy tries to double its box office potential by appealing to pro- and anti-war viewers. "Imagine a king who fights his own battles– wouldn't that be a sight!" Achilles says wryly. Later Agamemnon sneers, "Peace is for the women and the weak." I think it's Odysseus (Sean Bean), "the one man (Achilles) will listen to," who says, "War is young men dying and old men talking."
The event that gets everyone talking is Paris (Orlando Bloom), a prince of Troy, stealing Helen (Diane Kruger), wife of Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), King of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon, before the ink dries on their peace treaty.
Paris, who has never been in battle, takes refuge behind his warrior brother Hector (Eric Bana), as they sail home to their father, King Priam (Peter O'Toole), behind the impenetrable walls of Troy.
Menelaus has his brother attack Troy with the full army of Greece, the legendary "thousand ships" worth. While the other 999 sit at anchor, Achilles takes the beach with his elite force of 50 men. When he makes his battle-eager young cousin Patroclus (Garrett Hedlund) wait in the boat, we know the youth will taste combat later.
The fight this is all building toward is between Achilles and Hector, but the half-hour that follows it is hardly anticlimactic. This is where the famous "Trojan horse" comes in, actually a Greek horse used to sneak troops into Troy.
Those who enjoy war as a spectator sport will be sated by the conflicts in Troy. Unlike Gladiator, you can't tell where the real people leave off and the CG people begin. You may not believe there are 50,000 Greeks and 30,000 Trojans, but it certainly looks like a respectable crowd.
Technology freaks will appreciate the Trojans inventing great balls of fire and the Greeks lining up pointy sticks in the sand, which will cause severe tire damage as soon as tires are invented.
War movies are young men dying and old men acting. While Pitt, Bana, and Bloom are fine, Achilles' key line is, "We will never be lovelier than we are right now." Pitt and Bloom pose tastefully naked, nothing beyond network television limits, with various women, while the other men are always covered in armor.
The all-American Pitt and all-Australian Bana blend vocally with their British co-stars because everyone knows the ancient Greeks spoke with upper-class English accents.
O'Toole complained when he was awarded an honorary Oscar that he still hoped to win one in competition. This might have been his chance, but if anyone wins an acting award for Troy it should be Brian Cox. There is, however, a wonderful close-up of O'Toole, blue eyes glowing and smile slowly breaking, as Hector and Paris make their triumphal entry into Troy. This shot will definitely be used in his obituaries– let's hope not soon.
Director Wolfgang Petersen continues to vary his output with good results in most of the genres he attempts. If he has an Achilles heel, Troy doesn't get close to it.

The Column Acoustic Panel is like no other acoustic panel on the market. This is thanks to it's unique shape and design. The Column Acoustic Panel is a semi-circle and this shape offers a number of benefits. Firstly even though the size of the panel means that it takes up only 2ft2 (or 0.186m2) of wall space the actual surface area of the panel is 3.14ft2 (or 0.292m2). This increase in surface area results in much more effective absorption when compared to plain faced acoustic panels. So if space is tight and you only have a little wall space for acoustic treatment then these panels are the ones to go for.
The second benefit is panel thickness. These panels are 6" at their peak and this increase in depth over plain faced acoustic panels you will be able to control those lower mid range frequencies more effectively in turn giving you better control over your room.
The third benefit is the look of the Column Acoustic Panels. When these acoustic panels are installed on the wall whether in clusters, on their own or matched with other products they really do look fantastic and create a good talking point regarding you studio. These panels add that professional look you need for any studio or control room.
The Column Acoustic Foam Panels conform to the highest of fire tests and are safe for even the most demanding requirements so you will have peace of mind that the product you are using is safe no matter what application. And you also have our guarantee that the foam will stand the test of time. The colour we use has been carefully selected to ensure that it doesn't quickly discolour or fade over time. You won't have the problem of the foam crumbling and turning to dust either. We know that treating your studio is a big investment and we want to make sure that your investment stands the test of time. The only way to ensure that is by sticking with Advanced Acoustics. We have many years of experience in acoustic treatment and soundproofing. Acoustic Treatment and Soundproofing are the only products we deal with. You won't see us selling any other forms of foam or bedding. Acoustic foam is all we do and we are very good at it as our outstanding feedback and previous customers will testify. Our products have been used by a full host of companies including the BBC, Williams F1 Team, McLaren, Cisco, Cadburys and ITN just to mention a few.
This item is kept permanently in stock. The foam we use is an open cell polyurethane acoustic foam and is available in charcoal only.
For an extra £10.99 per pack we can mount the Column2 onto 6mm MDF for you.

Macy's to pay $650,000 to settle complaints of racial profiling
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Macy's must pay a $650,000 fine to settle complaints that it's staffers wrongfully accused minority shoppers of stealing.
New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman started to investigate Macy's, which has 42 stores in New York State, in February 2013 after receiving complaints about racial profiling.
"The office has received complaints from close to two dozen African-American, Latino and other customers who are members of ethnic minority groups who claimed that they had been apprehended and detained at Macy's, despite not having stolen or having attempted to steal any Macy's merchandise," Schneiderman said in a press release.
Customers alleged that staffers at the flagship store in Herald Square in Manhattan "detained and falsely accused minorities at far greater rates than white customers of committing crimes," according to the release
Macy's will also have to designate an independent expert and hire a full-time security monitor to to ensure that the retailer complies with the settlement.
The settlement comes just one month after Macy's settled with Rob Brown, an actor from the HBO series "Treme" who accused staff of racially profiling him at the flagship store last year.
Macy's did not immediately return messages from CNNMoney.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Despite several events being cancelled due to rain at the Tribe Invitational hosted by William & Mary on Friday and Saturday, the VCU Rams were able to gain a lot of experience both on and away from the track.
"It rained from start to finish, but our athletes kept their focus and competed like champions," said VCU head coach Jon Riley. "This was good for our athletes to experience, because this may occur at our CAA championship and if we do, our athletes will be prepared. We will only continue to get better every week and I am satisfied with what I saw this weekend.
The Rams had a number of first place finishes on the day, with freshman Brandon Ruffin leading the way with a pair of first place finishes.
The Chesapeake, Va., native won the shot put and the discus. In the shot put, Ruffin's heave landed 15.34 meters, and his attempt in the discus traveled 48.39 meters.
The Rams took the top four finishes in the women's 100 meter hurdles, with red-shirt sophomore Chaneka Perry earning top honors. Perry passed through the finish line in 14.86 seconds, with freshman Alexis Stroman coming in second in a time of 14.90 seconds. Sophomore Nneka Ogwu (15.18 seconds) and senior Rachel Montague (15.42 seconds) came in third and fourth, respectively.
Freshman Kiara Porter captured the title in the 100 meter dash, crossing the finish line in 12.05 seconds. Redshirt sophomore Jaleesa Williams earned a first place finish in the women's shot put, with a heave of 13.43 meters.
Junior Alex Hinton grabbed top honors in the 800 meter run, finishing in 1:54.71 for the Black & Gold. The Rams took the top three honors in the men's 100 meter hurdles, with sophomore Chase Turner coming in first in 15.10 seconds. Senior Cameron Morse (15.65 seconds) and freshman Christopher Smith (15.70 seconds) came in second and third place respectively.
VCU will next be in action at the Fred Hardy Invite this Friday and Saturday at the University of Richmond.

As draftees and trialists spent time over the last six weeks looking to impress the Fire coaching staff enough for a roster spot, so did Aron Hyde, the club's new Goalkeeping Coach. His work with the Fire's three goalkeepers during the club's six week, four stop tour was enough for him to be named to the position on March 1.
Hailing from Birmingham, England, the 27-year-old played for Judson University in Elgin from 2002-04, helping the Eagles to the NCCAA national championship his first year there, tallying up a 64-9-1 record over his three years between the sticks.
It was during his college years that Hyde had a training stint with the team he's now coaching. He's also trained with English clubs, Fulham FC, Millwall, Walsall and Wycombe Wanderers, but took up coaching after hanging up his playing boots, taking his license courses while working as an assistant first for Seattle University men's and women's teams, before spending last season at the University of Washington.
After spending a number of years in the Pacific northwest, and a number of weeks on the club's preseason tour, Hyde's happy to be settled back in Chicago.
"I obviously have some experience here," said Hyde. "I was auditioning for my job [during preseason] but there wasn't that much pressure because I'd talked to a number of people regarding the goalkeeping situation and so the transition was smooth. I have a good feel for the keepers here and we've built up a good rapport."
At 27, Hyde is one of the younger coaches in all of Major League Soccer – though still more senior than the Fire's goalkeeping corps -- Andrew Dykstra, 24, and Sean Johnson, 20.
"Aron's been great," said Dykstra. "He's young but he came to the team with a lot of experience coaching the position. He's pushed both of us very hard but he knows what he's doing and I would say we have a great working relationship."
As far as Dykstra's performance in preseason, Hyde was impressed with the second-year player's work ethic, especially after suffering an injury early.
"Andrew was a little slow to get going in preseason because he picked up a knock soon after we arrived in Arizona. We sent him back here to rehab while we went to Mexico, giving him some cardio work to do while away. The whole situation was the best thing for him because he was still working hard while rehabbing and came back into camp ten days later as sharp as ever."
Though losing against New York in his first MLS appearance, the goalkeeping coach is confident in his new number one keeper.
"He could have been rattled early with the back pass that he played out for a corner, but he recovered well and looked confident in the goal. The goal they scored was well-taken and no one found him at fault for it. As a debut, it was a good performance to build off of and we expect he'll continue to improve through the season."
When it comes to the goalkeeping position, Hyde is bullish about the subject as it relates to American keepers. An Aston Villa supporter, he's happy to have both Brads, Friedel and Guzan, backstopping the Villains the last two seasons.
"Goalkeeping is the one position where this country has done
a great job in continuously producing quality players. The play of guys like
Friedel, Guzan, Tim Howard, Kasey Keller and Marcus Hahnemann, has given this
country a great reputation of producing at this position and I think a lot of
it has to do with American emphasis on athleticism, with kids playing a number
of different sports that require good hand-eye coordination."
Hyde has been back at work with his keepers this week, preparing both Dykstra and Johnson for Saturday afternoon's clash with the Colorado Rapids, at 3 pm CT live on Telefutura.

From: Bali DiscoveryInterview: Notary Rainy Hendriany Provides Latest Update on Rules for Land Ownership by Foreigners in Bali, Indonesia.
Despite failed promises by the Indonesian government to liberalize the rules on foreign land ownership and expectations that the international real estate conference held in Bali in May would herald a change in the rules, little appears to have changed in long-standing prohibitions against property ownership by non-Indonesians.
Against this atmosphere of legal uncertainty and numerous real estate agents offering questionable legal constructs to permit foreign land ownership in Bali, balidiscovery.com interviewed well-respected Sanur-based Notary/PPAT, Rainy Hendriany SH, M.Kn, to try to seek a reliable clarification on the do's, don'ts and cautions for foreigners involved in Bali property transactions.
The Interview: Rainy Hendriany, Bali Notary
Balidiscovery.com : First, to the extent possible, can we ask you to update us on the status of any pending changes to the regulations regarding property ownership by foreigners in Indonesia ?
Rainy Hendriany : "For the very reason that there have been further delays in any official announcements and because the situation remains fluid, please understand that I can only provide my personal opinions which should therefore be regarded as informed speculation. However, as I predicted when we last met (Editor: See Link), it does seem that the changes now being discussed will only allow a longer period of 'Hak Sewa' (Leasehold); perhaps up to 70 years instead of 25 years permitted at present. As I understand it, outright ownership of property by foreigners will still not be allowed."
"Outright foreign ownership or 'Hak Milik' (Freehold) title by foreigners has never been a realistic possibility, but in earlier stages of discussion, there appears to have been an intention to allow a 70 year duration for Right of Use ('Hak Pakai') Land title, in which a Land Certificate is issued in the name of the foreigner. This now appears to have been diluted further and it seems that any reforms will apply only to leasehold, which does not convey any rights of ownership, either directly or beneficially."
Balidiscovery.com : What is the history and legal background to Indonesia's apparent legal intransigence on the liberalization of property ownership by foreigners?
Rainy Hendriany : "Allow me to provide some background on relevant regulations and laws."
"UUD/1945 (The Constitution) and UU5/1960 (The Basic Agrarian Law) are the basis for all subsequent property laws and regulations. Government Regulation (PP40/1996), the "Rights of Use Regulation" set forth the initial framework on rights of land use ('Hak Pakai') for resident foreigners. Subsequent Government Regulations and Ministerial Decrees further addressed the issues of domicile and extensions of title."
"However, none of these regulations provides adequate legal clarity with regard to the time frame for which the 'Hak Pakai' could be extended and/or renewed and, indeed, there is even some contradiction between and within the different regulations."
"What is clear is that 'Hak Pakai' title cannot be issued, renewed or extended for any period longer than 25 years at any one time. The Law is silent regarding the allowed period for leasehold."
"However, The Basic Agrarian Law establishes a hierarchy of land titles specifying that 'Hak Pakai' title is a higher title than leasehold. This explains why leasehold is normally for a period of no more than 25 years. Logically, if 'Hak Pakai' is a higher title, and it may only be issued for 25 years, it follows that a lower title should not provide more preferential conditions, including duration of tenure."
"This helps to explain the difficulties of making any changes to the regulations regarding foreign ownership of property. Even if a 70 year leasehold be the present intention, there remain many legal obstacles. Should this be implemented in the form of a Government Regulation, which would bypass the Parliament, as a Government Regulation it would be subservient to existing laws, including the The Basic Agrarian law, and could be challenged through the courts. Should it be issued in the form of a new law amending existing law, it would require the approval by Parliament and could still be challenged in the Constitutional Court. Either way, the process would take years before any change is implemented."
"So the difficulty is that without changes to the Basic Agrarian law and possibly also the Constitution, any changes whatsoever to the foreign ownership regulations are very problematic. In my opinion, the political will does not exist to amend higher laws solely for the purpose of allowing foreigners to own property in Indonesia."
Balidiscovery.com : If such minor reforms are all that will be introduced, why has it has taken so long?
Rainy Hendriany : "I don't have any direct insight into official Indonesian Government thinking, but the legal and cultural obstacles we just discussed are not insubstantial. What is clear is that the proposed changes have been progressively watered down since the possibility of liberalizing property rights for foreigners was most recently raised several years ago."
"In summary, the impetus for change has always been largely from private property sector interests which, in aggregate, are not hugely influential. On the other side of the debate, the politically powerful Nationalist lobby strongly supports the status quo."
Balidiscovery.com : Would these changes to leasehold term be enough to make any practical difference for potential foreign investors?
Rainy Hendriany : I can't speak for foreign investors in general, but many of my clients express disappointment that they still cannot 'own' property in Indonesia. It is actually the uncertainty which is causing the most problems for many clients who want to make decisions but are reluctant to do so until reform decisions have been made and announced."
"It is a fact that neighboring countries already have more liberal regulations for property ownership by foreigners so these limited changes would certainly not be enough to provide any competitive advantages to Indonesia."
Balidiscovery.com : If implemented as discussed, can a leasehold be sold to another party before expiry of the lease term?
Rainy Hendriany : "Yes, providing that the original leasehold is constructed appropriately, it may be 'sold' to another party in the form of a sub-lease agreement, which would transfer all the conditions of the original lease, including any options to extend, to a new third party. Should the new Regulations provide for longer Leasehold periods, then unless specifically excluded by language in the proposed new regulations, or the terms of the original leasehold itself, sub-leasing would remain possible."
Balidiscovery.com : Would you provide us with a recap on what are now the fully legal options available to foreigners for the tenure of property in Bali?
Rainy Hendriany : "It remains and in all probability will remain the case for the foreseeable future that, under no circumstances, may foreigners hold property anywhere in Indonesia under 'Hak Milik' (Freehold) title. Unlike some would want potential investors to believe, Bali is subject to all Indonesian Laws and Regulations in the same way as is any other Province."
"The fully legal options remain as outlined in our previous interview."
"Firstly, as we have already discussed, even under existing regulations, 'Hak Pakai' is a fully legal and secure option for a foreigner to hold a property. There are many practical and procedural restrictions on 'Hak Pakai' title and professional legal counsel should always be sought."
"Second, leasehold is fully legal in lease periods of no more than 25 years at present, which can, however, include options to extend."
"Finally, there are various company ownership options but these are now more limited subsequent to recent revisions to laws and the current interpretation of regulations."
All Companies in Indonesia, whether employing local or foreign capital, may only hold property under right to build ('Hak Guna Bangunan,' or HGB) title. This title can also be held by Indonesian individuals but not foreign individuals. Most of the apartments being built in Indonesia employ Strata title over HGB land, which means that individual foreigners cannot own Apartments. Actually, revisions to allow foreign ownership of certain categories of Apartment Units had also been included in earlier reform discussions but now appear to have been dropped."
"A PMA (Foreign Investment) Company may be established to conduct any business activity provided that it is not included in the investment boards 'Negative List' which has recently been updated. A PMA Company may hold residential property under HGB title in the name of the Company. However, A PMA Company cannot now be established for the sole purpose of holding a single residential property. "
"A PMA Company may sponsor residential (KITAS) visas and work permits for company officers (directors and commissioners) appointed by the investor against an approved manpower plan. It should be noted, however, that PMA Companies do involve rigorous monthly, quarterly and yearly reporting requirements and, as foreign investors, tend to attract the attention of the tax authorities."
"A PT Biasa Company is a company which must be owned entirely by Indonesians. As a consequence of UU25/2007 (The Investment Law), the use of nominees to establish a PT Biasa Company for any purpose, including as a vehicle to hold property, is no longer legal because the beneficial ownership of any Company through Nominees is now prohibited. Agreements to support such an arrangement would, therefore, not be enforceable."
Balidiscovery.com : How about the use of an individual nominee to hold a property, which appears to be quite common in Bali?
Rainy Hendriany : "It must be understood that this approach is, at best, a means to circumvent both the letter and the intent of higher Indonesian law. So there are inherent risks involved with this approach and it must always be remembered that the legal owner of the property, in the context of Indonesian law, is the Indonesian Nominee, whose name is on the Land Certificate.
"Irrespective of any side contracts entered into between the parties, in the event of any dispute, these could be seen as having been constructed with the sole purpose to circumvent the letter and/or spirit of higher Indonesian law. In fact, many attempts at creating legal structures to address these inherent potential problems and which grant various powers of attorney, can actually put the foreign investor at greater not less risk, so there is a need for very great caution."
"I cannot stress enough the need for trusted professional legal counsel before any decisions are made by a potential foreign property investor in Bali."
Balidiscovery.com : Any other final thoughts?
Rainy Hendriany : "What comes to mind is the old French saying, 'Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose!' (The more things change, the more they stay the same)."
"I know that it is frustrating to foreigners who want to own a property in Indonesia, in particular when an Indonesian national may often own a Freehold property in his/her country of origin. The recent history of Indonesia, having been under the control of the Dutch for 350 years and having only become an independent nation in 1945, may perhaps in part explain the prevailing mindset with respect to land."
In particular for Bali, I always try to encourage an understanding that there is a need for restraint and a sensitivity to local culture if the uniqueness of Bali which brought us all here in the first instance is to be preserved. Bali is, indeed, a very special place and Balinese culture has, over the years, been very resilient and, perhaps uniquely, able to absorb from, adapt to and develop foreign influences."
"But Bali is a small Island and the recent abuse of zoning regulations, height restrictions and setback regulations has been in the best interests of nobody in the longer term, especially the Balinese themselves. That Villa built today in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views over the sawah, results in unaffordable higher land taxes for the adjacent subsistence farmers, which in turn results in the land being sold to new investors and the sawah views are soon gone."
"If this sounds all too familiar to some of your readers, perhaps it is because they live in parts of South Bali where it is already too late?"
Balidiscovery.com : Thank you, Ibu Rainy, for your willingness to give your time as a service to the international community in Bali.

MTSA works closely with CCCU to deliver training that combines strong theoretical knowledge and understanding of learning, teaching, pedagogy and child development with substantial experience of the school environment and practice of teaching in the classroom.
You will be trained in a highly supportive and aspirational environment and will develop the rigour, professional and subject knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for engaging children and young people in creative, purposeful and challenging learning.
During your course you will undertake placements in two contrasting schools within the Alliance. Through these placements you will gain experience in working within differing settings and with children of differing abilities,needs and socio-economic backgrounds. This will ensure you have a broad experience and understanding of education within the geographical location of Medway. You will also have access to Post 16 learners during at least one of your two placements. As a result of the outstanding Special Schools within our Alliance, we are able to offer every trainee at least a short placement in a special school environment.
You will also have full access to CCCU's facilities and support. You will be assigned a mentor within each placement who will support your development and be involved in target setting and grading as well as being a point of contact for you.
As a Teaching School Alliance we develop and deliver an exciting programme of CPD, including conferences, research projects and seminars, guest speakers, collaborative workshops, all of which trainees are able to access.
From the outset you will be treated as a member of staff within your placement school and be offered the opportunities afforded to the teaching staff, such as staff meetings and INSET opportunities.
Interview process
The MTSA co-ordinate the recruitment/interview process on behalf of all the schools within the Alliance. Interviews are conducted with representatives from our partner schools.
The interview process will involve attendance at a half day selection event during which you will take part in a variety of activities, including a literacy and numeracy test, interviews on key focus areas, leading a student activity, a subject knowledge interview (for secondary candidates) and other activities.
It is a rigorous and thorough process, designed to get the best match of applicant to the places available and to assess the key skills, knowledge and attributes needed to be a successful teacher. During the interview process there will be an opportunity to talk to students and staff from a range of MTSA schools.
How school placements work
Trainee Teachers will be based in a placement school for the whole of the academic year, with opportunity to complete a contrasting placement in the Spring for 4-6 weeks. You will also be given opportunity to experience excellent teaching and learning across the full range of Key Stages and in range of types of school.
Schools pay the trainee as an unqualified teacher and they act as a supernumerary member of staff for the academic year. In addition to the salary schools are required to cover the costs of DBS and QTS fees. Should the student wish to undertake a PGCE qualification the additional fee payment may be paid by the school or the trainee.
School receives a salary contribution from the DfE towards the costs of employing the trainee. For secondary the salary contribution varies depending on the subject studied, ie priority subjects attract a higher level of contribution.
Financial support
Financial support isn't available for this course because it comes with a salary.
If you choose a course without a salary, you may be eligible for financial support while you study, including bursaries, scholarships and loans.
To join a School Direct programme you must be a graduate, preferably with a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours degree (2:1). We are willing to consider applicants with a 2:2 who can demonstrate a true aptitude for teaching and have previous experience to draw upon.

This wide diversity enables MTSA to offer a rich experience for all trainees who share in the expertise of experienced teachers working in a range of settings and contexts. Our staff are inspirational, knowledgeable and have a proven track record in developing, challenging and supporting trainee teachers. Together we are excited by the creativity and enjoyment of teaching and the impact that quality teaching has on the progress and achievement of young people.
The MTSA is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Customer Testimonials

"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."
Ms. Esther - Conway Arkansas, USA - Aug 13, 2018
"It took me three years, gifts across multiple countries and many impeccable fulfillment from GiftbasketOverseas to write this review. So u can understand what a nosy customer I am :). If they can satisfy me, trust me, you would be no exception. I always had a lot of "when to be delivered", "how to be delivered", "Digital proof", "last minute ordering" and what not. But I must appreciate the team for patiently giving me a hearing and delivering exactly the way I wanted, even on a Sunday at times. The entire team, communication and experience was wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to send gifts to their near and dear ones across the globe. I am sure the giftbasketoverseas team will continue to do the great and efficient job that they are doing. You people are amazing. All the best !!! :) I must also mention of the lady who delivered the gift to my friend in Croatia and whose name I don't recollect (sadly), but she was amazing too and brought smile on my friends face.. Nothing more that I could ask for. Cherish the experience.. Thank you :) "
Rajesh - India - Dec 24, 2017

Where in the World ...?
Where in the world were Grinnell faculty and students this summer?
China, Korea, France,Italy, Poland, Namibia, Romania, to name a few sites of international scholarly activity.
Jin Feng, associate professor of Chinese, spent eight weeks in China, where she interviewed web publishers for her research project on web-based popular Chinese literature.
Feng also lectured at Ginling College in Nanjing, which was the topic of her recent book, The Making of a Family Saga: Ginling College (SUNY Press, 2009).
Matthew Johnson, assistant professor of history, presented at a conference in Shanghai devoted to archive and oral testimony-based histories of the Mao years. Johnson presented a paper on cultural reform and propaganda in Beijing, based on archival research he carried out there in 2004–05 as a U.S. Fulbright student fellow at Peking University.
Johnson is currently co-editing a book on post-1949 China which features translated contributions from Chinese scholars, to be used by students and researchers seeking to understand how ordinary people pursued their interests and participated in local politics.
Craig Quintero, assistant professor of theatre, collaborated with Taiwanese artist Joyce Ho on the sculpture "On My Way Home" that is currently on display at the Fondazione Claudio Buziol at the 54th Venice Biennale.
The sculpture is part of a touring exhibition that will be remounted at the Wereldmuseum (Rotterdam), Today Art Museum (Beijing), and the National Museum of Fine Arts (Taichung).
Senior Kate Ferraro's fluent French first served her well during her spring semester in Aix-en-Provence. This summer, she combined her language skills with MAP research under the direction of Tim Arner, assistant professor of English.
Arner conducted research at the Bibliotheque national de France in Paris, analyzing descriptions of England's King Henry V in 15th century French chronicles. Ferraro assisted Arner with translation while conducting her own research on French translations of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Eliza Willis (political science) and Janet Seiz (economics) worked with Namibian interns at the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) to prepare environmental updates for national parliament. The professors also joined a team of DRFN researchers and consultants investigating water and sanitation issues in three Namibian villages.
Both Willis and Seiz intend to incorporate these firsthand observations into courses on economic development during fall semester. Their travel was funded in part by Grinnell's Center for International Studies.
Twelve Grinnellians gathered in Seoul, Korea, as guests of trustee Kihwan Kim '57, where conversation centered on the value of international mobility. Four current students who are interning in Korea this summer, thanks to Kim's generous coordination, shared their experiences:
- Christa Lee '12, interning at HSBC in accounting;
- Sammy Huang '13, interning at Doosan Corporation Electro-Materials;
- Sun Yoo '12, interning at Kim & Chang law firm; and
- Justin Wedel '12, interning at Gyeonggi-do Welfare Foundation.
Kim shared his own experiences of coming to Grinnell as an international student in the early '50s.
Tammy Nyden, associate professor of philosophy, traveled to Bucharest to deliver a paper, "From Moral Certainty to More Evidentia: an Epistemological Shift in the Leiden Physics Theatre." This fall, Camila Barrios Camacho '12 will work with Nyden on a MAP on moral certainty.
While in Romania, Nyden also met at the Conference of the International Society for Intellectual History with a co-editor and contributors for an upcoming volume on Cartesian Empiricisms.
For Daniel Reynolds, associate professor of German, research travel to Eastern Poland will inform his teaching of the Holocaust in multiple courses.
Reynolds travelled to sites of the extermination camps Sobibor and Treblinka as part of his research into Holocaust tourism and its role in Holocaust remembrance.
At right, Reynolds is shown walking along a stone memorial path at Sobibor.

Hope and Bruce Terrell represent two sides of Red Bay, Ala.
Bruce is one of hundreds of workers laid off in this small Alabama-Mississippi border town. He lost his job at Tiffin Motor Homes Inc., makers of high-end luxury coaches, in October and has been unable to find work. He keeps busy as a youth pastor at his church. His unemployment benefits, extended once, run out in July, according to the Florence, Ala., Times Daily.
On the other hand, Hope has been able to keep her job at pet food maker, Sunshine Mills, another key employer in Red Bay.
"If we can make it with what I make, we're hoping he can stay on," Hope said.
Red Bay lost nearly a third of its jobs in the past year, by some estimates, because of the recession that dragged down the RV and mobile home markets, which make up the bulk of employment in this town of 3,256 residents.
Since mid-2007, the RV industry nationwide has shed more than half of its work force, and since 2001, shipments of mobile homes decreased by more than half, according to industry data.
Red Bay's main employer is Tiffin. Other major employers are Sunshine Homes, a mobile home manufacturer, Sunshine Mills and Gates Rubber Co.
"The whole RV industry is in the worst depression it's been in," Tim Tiffin, general manager and son of founder, Bob Tiffin, said at his office in the Tiffin complex.
Tiffin's work force decreased 50% from its peak, he estimated. Production has decreased 70% from its peak.
At its peak two years ago, the factory produced 13 coaches per day. Now, that number is four, up from the three per day this winter and spring.
Still, Tiffin sees the mild upswing as a "bounce from the bottom – three weeks, it could be different."
"At four per day, it's not conducive to what we need to do," Tiffin said.
Ray Forester, general manager at Sunshine Homes, said though there was a greater demand for mobile homes, frozen credit has slowed the industry.
In the past year, shift work declined to four homes a day four days a week from a peak of six homes per day during a five-day work week.
The 2008 federal Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, was supposed to loosen credit, but "financing has not loosened up at all," Forester said.
The plant laid off 35% of its work force – about 60 positions within the past year – something he said he was uncomfortable with discussing.
"If the Feds do something to fix the housing, it would fix the whole economy because housing drives the economy," Forester said. "They're not pursuing the right things."
Sunshine Mills bypassed the current recession and tainted dog food scandals of 2007 and has not laid off any workers. "We've been able to maintain volume even with the slowing domestic economy," said company President Alan Bostic through a spokesman. About 350 people are employed and, since 2008, the company has been able to hire a few more people, the spokesman said.
Sunshine Homes and Sunshine Mills are owned by the same stockholders, but are run independently. Representatives for Gates Rubber Co. did not return phone calls seeking comment.
Many Red Bay residents say they know someone who was laid off – a brother who went back to school and now works across the valley for a satellite TV company, a father who took retirement after working for a year and who now collects Social Security.
Many unemployed find their way to Weatherfod Library, where librarian Linda Ezzell estimates up to a dozen individuals per day use the computers to work on resumes, search for jobs or follow up on leads. When the layoffs first started, there was a rush of patrons, replaced by a steady stream now, she said.
"People are seeing just a little glimmer of hope that maybe the economy is swinging back," said Red Bay Mayor Bobby Forsythe. "Even though it may be minute."
During the winter and spring, monthly sales tax collection fell as much as 18% over the previous year. Recent sales tax collections are nearly on par with 2008.
Even with the uptick in sales tax and RV production, Forsythe said, "There are still many people hurting here in Red Bay that have lost their jobs. I don't want to paint a rosy picture that people are employed here and making plenty of money,"
Tiffin's downsizing has had a trickle-down effect with dealers going under and suppliers struggling.
"It's taken a year to get to this level," he said. "I don't see it getting a whole lot better for another year."
Tiffin estimated 15 to 20 local suppliers also are affected through the trickle-down effect. He declined to name the suppliers.
Progress, however, has been made. "Much of the distressed merchandise has been sold off," Tiffin said. Distressed refers to coaches left over when a dealership goes out of business.
Until dealers get wholesale financing, Tiffin said financing will remain the same: difficult for consumers at best.
Like the auto industry, tightened credit markets mean greater restrictions for the borrowing public. Down payments of up to 20% can be difficult when buying a car, but when the vehicle can cost as much as a home, that adds to the difficulty.
Fuel prices that tick upwards during the summer also affect the business.
"People who could buy a coach two years ago cannot buy one now," Tiffin said. "If fuel prices run back up, that's just going to throw us back down on the mat again."

Wireless spectrum—the tiny slices of the invisible world that make data through the air possible—is a precious, precious commodity. Everyone wants it. You want it. And the government wants to hand some out—but everyone will hate the plan.
Om reports the National Telecommunications and Information Administration is backing a plan to offload a "huge chunk of spectrum" and let the cell carriers use it. That means, hypothetically, better service for everyone with a phone. Wider coverage, faster downloads. But here's a strange twist:
Instead of clearing the 1755-1850 MHz block of all government transmitters, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is recommending that federal agencies and mobile operators share the airwaves, splitting time over the same frequencies between commercial and government use.
Huh. How will this child custody spectrum scenario go? Would private carriers get airtime primetime? But what about government agencies who need the spectrum during emergencies—which could happen at any moment? This sounds like it will annoy both sides—feds say they need it to keep society running smoothly, carriers say they need it to keep us from whining. AT&T, at least, sounds willing to play ball, says Om, saying they're down to work with "the impacted government agencies to address reallocation challenges in a manner that will ensure that the identified spectrum bands are made available expeditiously, while protecting vital government services that cannot be easily relocated." We'll see how that goes—we know how well AT&T plays with regulators. [GigaOm]

Strengths of the Module
This module has a positive focus on adaptations to climate change. Activities provide students opportunities to think locally, regionally, and globally. They drive thinking about climate change and social vulnerability. This leads to better informed citizens, empowered to make more responsible decisions. See an example adaptation activity.
Students use real, current ocean, atmosphere, and ice data to learn about climate change. Activities provide concrete ways to learn abstract concepts like uncertainty, anomalies, and feedback. Students consider questions about climate and society for which they can't Google the answer. See an example data-rich activity.
Activities get students out of their chairs. A diverse suite of activities (gallery walks, games, discussions, lab exercises, and small-group activities) provides students opportunities to be involved. This engages quieter students, and both professors and students have fun! See an example role-playing activity.
A great fit for courses in:
- environmental science
- meteorology
- geology
- oceanography
- geological hazards

Associated Press
The Duchess of Cambridge has gone back to school.
The royal, formerly known as Kate Middleton, played hockey and revealed her childhood nickname � Squeak � when she returned to her elementary school for a visit Friday.
Kate told teachers and students at the private St. Andrew�s School in southern England that her 10 years there were �some of my happiest years.� She said she enjoyed it so much that she had told her mother she wanted to return as a teacher.
Kate, who captained the hockey team at her high school, joined a group of 12-year-olds for a training session in a green-and-blue Alexander McQueen tartan coat and three-inch-high boots.
The 30-year-old duchess attended the school from 1986 until 1995.

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum canceled his Sunday morning campaign events and planned to spend time with his hospitalized daughter.
"Rick and his wife Karen are admitting their daughter Bella to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia this evening," spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement Saturday night, adding "Rick intends to return to Florida and resume the campaign schedule as soon as is possible."
Santorum had been scheduled to appear on NBC's ``Meet the Press'' and attend church in Miami. Officials did not cancel Sunday's afternoon events in Sarasota and Punta Gorda.
Isabella Santorum has Trisomy 18, a genetic condition caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. When asked about her, Santorum says his daughter was not expected to survive until her first birthday and often has to catch himself to stop from tears.
"I have a little girl who's 3-years-old," he told Christian conservatives in Iowa before winning that lead-off contest.
"I don't know whether her life is going to be measured _ it's always been measured _ in days and weeks. Yet here I am. ... because I feel like I wouldn't be a good dad if I wasn't out here fighting for a country that would see the dignity in her and every other child."
When voters ask him about her, he calls the decision to campaign ``gut-retching'' but says he goes forward for all special needs families.
"You think she's fine, and then one cold and she's this close to dying," he told The Washington Post last year in an interview.
In October, he missed one of Bella's surgeries to participate in a debate and told the audience that he planned to take an all-night flight home from Las Vegas to be with her.
"I look at the simplicity and love she emits," Santorum said in a web video his campaign released after his scheduling drew questions, "and it's clear to me we're the disabled ones."
Santorum largely has kept his daughter off the campaign schedules, preferring her to stay home with her mother. But Bella did join Santorum for a few days around Iowa's straw poll in August, and she joined her family in Charleston, S.C., the day of its primary.
She didn't join her six siblings for the public speech. She stayed backstage.

Idolized by millions of Pakistanis since he led the national cricket team, the king of sports in the country, in its sole World Cup victory in 1992, Imran Khan hopes today "revolutionize" the country by its entry into politics. At 60, Imran Khan always displays a sporty and still bears in his beautiful brown mane despite the patina of time. All of which make it the only real celebrity in a country that is singularly lacking in glamor.
"We will vote for Imran is a new man, and because all the others have failed," was probably the most heard phrase among his supporters, many of them young, at meetings where their leader has electrified crowds.
Political sensation of the moment, the former cricket star has to grow at the polls on Saturday, during the parliamentary elections, the new image of man and his aggressive campaign by breaking the monopoly of the traditional parties.
His slogans are simple: change the country back into place the wealthy elite who confiscates the power to eradicate corruption, solve the energy crisis, stand up to Washington too pressing the fight against terrorism and try to discuss with Islamist rebels Taliban.
Khan appeals especially the young urban middle class tired of the old traditional parties but it is unclear whether she will vote en masse Saturday. "The revolution is underway," he assured last week told AFP in a meeting in his native Punjab, the most populous province in the country margin.
His fiercest critics call him "Taliban Khan" describing it as a dangerous demagogue and populist conservative and as a naive American who slams but savings Taliban extremists, believing that this will improve the situation.
But Tuesday night, as he was about to make a speech in Lahore (east), Khan was a heavy fall of several meters. Head injuries, he was transported to the hospital. His party then assured that he was not seriously injured, but did not specify if keep sequelae.
His Movement for Justice (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, PTI) conducted an effective campaign, including on the Internet. But the influx of opportunistic politicians from traditional parties began to tarnish its image of White Knight.
A few days before the election, observers however reassess their chances on the rise, even if they can not see well ahead of the favorite, the PML-N of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
An Oxford graduate, he was soon noticed in English cricket clubs. At age 19, he began the national team of Pakistan. Not necessarily the most talented in the beginning, he worked hard to become the best player in the history of Pakistani cricket.
Follow the "Playboy" and his retirement years, surrounded very nightclubs in the most exclusive of London, until his marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, daughter of the Franco-British financial tycoon Jimmy Goldsmith in 1995.
She converted to Islam and the couple settled in the Khan family in Lahore. They had two boys, but divorced in 2004 because, according to some sources, adjustment difficulties Jemima Pakistan.
Imran Khan has since become famous for its charity projects for his past cricket star, including building the best hospital in Lahore cancer treatment in the country, in honor of his mother.
