Construction: Builders pull out of a slump
After the slowest year for new home construction since the peak in 2006, Houston-area builders are starting to regain momentum in 2012.
Optimism has returned in the local home building industry, as Houston employers continue to add jobs, mortgage rates remain low and consumer sentiment for housing improves.
"This is another chance to enjoy some prosperity," analyst Mike Inselmann said during a recent midyear forecast presentation to members of the Greater Houston Builder Association. He predicted housing starts would reach 22,000 single-family homes this year, about 20 percent over 2011.
Looking for an increase
Builders hope he's right.
More Information
The area's top 20 builders sold and closed nearly 13,000 homes last year, according to Metrostudy, which compiled a list of most active local builders for the Chronicle 100. The previous year, the top 20 closed 14,170 homes.
The companies with the biggest market share didn't deviate much from 2010.
Lennar/Village Builders was at the top of the list with 1,411 closings in 2011 and a 7.6 percent piece of the market.
The company builds for first-time buyers as well as those looking for luxury properties. It is active in master-planned communities such as The Woodlands and Cinco Ranch.
Perry Homes, K. Hovnanian/Brighton/Parkwood, Long Lake and D.R. Horton rounded out the top five.
One of the things the top builders have in common is they tend to buy their own land and develop lots themselves, so they're not completely dependent on land developers, Metrostudy's David Jarvis said. They build primarily in the $175,000 to $500,000 range.
"The market has shifted to higher price points," Jarvis said. "The percentage of new homes built between $300,000 and $500,000 is higher than it was before the recession."
As much as $600,000
Village Builders has homes priced as high as $600,000. The company recently started selling a line of high-end homes in The Woodlands called the Kingston Collection.
"It's getting an amazing amount of traffic," said Don Luke, division president of Lennar and Village Builders. "We have people coming in from Austin and San Antonio to look at the product."
On the whole, this year has already started on a higher note.
Starts were up 26 percent in the first quarter, according to Metrostudy.
"This year's certainly better than last," said Jim Widner, regional president for KB Home, which ranked seventh on the builder list.
The company has been revamping its designs in Houston to tap a bigger portion of the market.
The floor plans are more open and the interiors have more natural light. The houses are also getting bigger as the company targets more affluent first-time buyers and move-up buyers.
"Prior to a year or 18 months ago, we really focused on a lot heavier on a true first-time buyer. Price points were lower. Sizes were a little smaller. That was our reputation," Winder said. "We're more than that. We build homes up and down the spectrum."
Supply declining
Across the Houston area, the supply of housing inventory has been slipping. In some areas, prices have begun to solidify and buyers have less bargaining power.
While builders are expected to ramp up this year, it still may not be enough to satisfy demand based on demographic and population trends, Inselmann, Metrostudy president, said.
He also suggested that builders look closely at the future face of their buyers.
Individuals from age 15 to 34 - the so-called Generation Y - make up 29 percent of the Houston-area population. That's a bigger chunk than the baby boomers, who account for 24 percent.

Okay, perhaps YOUR baby can. It is possible. Stranger things have happened. But most likely your baby cannot read. Anyone telling you that your baby can is selling snake oil. Expensive snake oil.
What your baby can begin to do is recognize that certain signs or symbols represent certain objects. And that is pretty neat. But you do not need to spend hours training your baby to do this or buy expensive systems to accomplish this.
Once your child is a little older, he will begin to recognize that those black squiggly lines are letters. And letters make up words and words stand for certain things or ideas. But memorization of sight words, while important, is not "reading."
My ten month old knows that squeezing his hand represents milk. This does not make him bilingual or fluent in sign language.
When my daughter was not yet two, my husband taught her to respond that two plus two equals "four." But that doesn't mean she was performing mathematical operations or understood addition as a concept.
Memorization plays an important role in learning, but it must have its proper place within a framework of other skills and concepts. First you learn what quantities and numbers are, then the idea of multiplication, and then you memorize the times tables.
Now, no harm is done by showing your baby the word "Mom" and teaching him to point to mom. It is cute, certainly.
And if you want to buy books or CDs or flashcards with suggestions for games, that's great. As parents today we can be very isolated and sometimes we need these ideas for playing with our babies. Check out your local library and you will find tons of books with ideas for playing with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
However, I take issue with expensive systems that claim that rote memorization of images is learning to read.
Even worse if the website for the expensive system asks that you show a three month old videos an hour a day every day. And counsels you in tips to focus the baby's attention on these videos if he does not wish to watch them.
Now, I do not think television is evil. However, studies I have read about how television affects the brain wiring under age two gives me pause about any "educational" program that insists on television viewing for young infants. School-aged children, especially at-risk school aged children, do learn from television. And I doubt that occasional viewing will harm a healthy baby. However, I do not believe television is the best or even a good way to set your infant on a path to a lifelong love of reading.
Please, take that time to playt with and read to your baby instead. If you do not speak the dominant language in your current residence, that's fine–read in whatever language you can. And if you are not literate in any language, there are great free programs both for babies and for adults at many local libraries.
If library or other comunity programs are not an option, you can borrow or purchase books on tape and show baby the book while reading the tape. You can also buy a LeapFrog TAG system at a fraction of the cost of these expensive systems. If you really want video, there are free ones available on the web and most of them are just 5-10 minutes long.
Pre-literacy skills are important building blocks. Letter and sound recognition are steps on the road to reading. And a child who has some of these skills before entering school will be more confident and more likely to self-identify as a successful "reader" and "learner." To extrapolate from that and conclude that a 10 month old "reading" (but not really reading) will have long-term benefits is simply not supported by current evidence.

c) 51 HR Questions with Answers and Proven strategies to give specific, impressive, answers that help nail the interviews
d) 2 Aptitude Tests download available on www.vibrantpublishers.com
42: Explain real-time operating system.
Real-time operating system is an operating system which works under given time constraints and is used where processing must be done within defined constraints otherwise system will crash. Therefore a real-time operating system is generally used as a control device in a dedicated application. Example of real-time operating system are automobile fuel injection system, home appliance controller etc.
43: What is compute-server system?
A compute-server system provides a mechanism where a client can send the request to the server for an action to be performed and upon receipt of the request; server executes the action and sends back the result to the client. An example of such system is a server running a database that responds to the queries sent by clients.
44: What is file-server system?
A file-server system provides a mechanism where a client can create, update, read and delete files. An example of such system is a web server which maintains files and delivers files to the clients through a web browser.
45: What are types of operating system services?
There are two types of operating system services:
a) Function-based: This type of operating system services provides functions which are helpful for users
b) Efficiency-based: This type of operating system services provides functions which ensure efficient operation of a computer system
83: What is the function of medium term scheduler?
The main task of medium term scheduler is to remove a process from the main memory in order to reduce the degree of multiprogramming and later reintroduce the process in the memory in order to continue execution of the process. This process is also known as swapping.
84: What is context switch?
Context switch is a process of saving the state of the current process and restoring the state of another process. At the time of context switch, the kernel of operating system saves the context (value of CPU registers, memory management information, process state etc.) of the current process in its process-control-block and loads the saved context of a another process scheduled to be executed.
85: What are various reasons for a parent process to terminate its children processes?
The various reasons for a parent process to terminate its children processes are:
a) The children processes may have exceeded the usage of the resources allocated to them
b) The task assigned to the child process may not required anymore
c) The parent process may be exiting so the children processes must be terminated because operating system does not allow a child process to run if parent process is exiting
108: What are the benefits of multithreading programming?
The benefits of multithreading programming are:
a) Responsiveness: It allows a program to continue running even if it is or part of it is blocked or performing a lengthy operation. For example, a multithreaded web server may allow interaction in one thread while an image is being loaded in another thread
b) Resource sharing: As threads share memory and resources of the process to which they belong therefore several different threads of activities can be performed in the same address space
c) Economy: As threads of the same process share memory and resources therefore it is more economical to create threads
d) Utilization of multiprocessor architecture: As each thread can be run on a different processor in parallel in a multiprocessor architecture therefore it increases concurrency
109: What are types of threads?
There are two types of threads:
a) user threads: These are the threads for which support is provided at the user level
b) kernel thread: These are the threads which are supported and managed by operating system
148: What is symmetric multithreading (SMT)?
Symmetric multithreading is a process of creating multiple logical processors on each physical processor. The advantage of this technique is that several threads are not required to run on multiple physical processors rather they can be run concurrently on multiple logical processors
149: Explain process-contention scope (PCS).
Answer:In many-to-one and many-to-many relationship between user threads and kernel threads, as multiple user-level threads are to be scheduled to available lightweight processes therefore there exists a competition for CPU among user threads belonging to the same process. This situation is called process-contention scope and a decision has to be made as to which user thread should be scheduled to an available lightweight process.

Well, I was in a bit of a rush this morning and ran out of the house without a jacket or my gear bag. Consequently, no gear equals no run at lunch. To keep from being idle today, I am going to do some 10-15 minute walks throughout the day and keep moving as much as possible. Also, I am going to do some sets of push ups here and there. Building up motivation keeps mind mind going so I want to capitalize on it.
Moving forward, I am focused on finding a race now. I am leaning towards the half marathon distance as I am beginning to think that might be my sweet spot. Translating my speed over that distance has been doable in the past and I think I can really get my time lower than my PR (1:34 even) if I train hard and pick a flatter race. The race I've done twice, Franklin Lakes Scenic Half Marathon, is great, but definitely hilly. I want to go sub 1:25 for a half.
If anyone has any suggestions that aren't too far away, send them to me in the comments sections, on social media, or email. Nothing too soon either, at least March. The West Point Half is a possible, if they ever update the site.

"How smart are you or the people in your family or your circle of friends? We are speaking about I.Q.: NASA scientist type of thing. We value book knowledge in today's culture but the real pursuit in life should be directed towards wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge are both gifts of the Holy Spirit but they are not the same thing. Many times throughout Sacred Scripture the Holy Spirit is known as wisdom. Wisdom calls us to have a higher perspective…to look at things through God's eyes. The Eucharist offers us a heavenly perspective, not an earthly perspective. We are invited by God to taste and see the goodness of the Lord, not just from intellectual understanding but also with our senses. Jesus is inviting us to something greater, something higher and something intimate. In our amen, we respond that we do believe." (Mark Hart)
This podcast is an excellent foundation for a weekly Bible study focused on the readings throughout the liturgical year. These Bible studies can be at the parish, at a coffee shop or even on-line.

Manchester City have agreed a £21.7m (roughly €25m) deal for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, according to Goal.com. The website's report claims the fee could increase by £2.6m (roughly €3m), depending on performance related bonuses. The 27-year-old Spain international is expected to settle personal terms and complete the transfer by the end of the week.
The Etihad club have moved to sign the former Real Madrid player quickly, after losing Uruguay international Edinson Cavani to Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain (PSG). The 26-year-old South American was unveiled at the French capital on Tuesday, following a French record £55m settlement with Napoli.
City, who will start the 2013/14 Premier League season under new coach Manuel Pellegrini are known to be shopping for reinforcements up front, following the departure of two of four first team strikers since the start of the year.
Italy international Mario Balotelli joined AC Milan in January and Argentina international Carlos Tevez left for Serie A champions Juventus earlier this summer. This leaves Pellegrini with Bosnian Edin Dzeko and Tevez's compatriot, Sergio Agüero up front.
As strikers go, Dzeko and Agüero are undeniably top class goal scorers, with 26 goals from 38 Premier League starts between the two last season. And this is including a more or less fringe player status for the Bosnian and extended injury problems for the Argentine.
However, Pellegrini clearly believes he needs a full complement for four strikers in his first team. The former champions have already strengthened their midfield this summer, with Brazilian Fernandinho joining for a massive €40m and Spanish winger Jesus Navas (also from Sevilla) for a further €20m. And assuming a deal for Negredo is completed, it is expected to be followed by one for Montenegrin forward Stevan Jovetic.
A second Goal.com report believes the Citizens have agreed a €30m package for the 23-year-old Fiorentina star, who was also tracked by Chelsea and Arsenal. Fiorentina, it is understood, will move for Bayern Munich's German international Mario Gomez immediately; the 28-year-old has been told to find a new club by the Bundesliga champions' new manager, Pep Guardiola.
According to Goal.com, Jovetic's agent, Fali Ramadani, has agreed a £80,000 per week salaray for his client.

Adelaide Crows star Eddie Betts has admitted the Crows are struggling through the 2018 season, with morale down as the team weathers a horror year.
After three straight losses and a run of injuries, rumours have been swirling about player discontent and the effects of a controversial pre-season camp on the Gold Coast.
Despite the team slump, Betts has dismissed speculation he is considering an early exit from the club, saying he wants to finish his career at West Lakes.
"It does get you down a little bit, at the club," Betts told radio station FIVEaa on Wednesday.
"We've got to try and change that environment, and keep bringing the joy, keep bringing the fun.
"It's not the end of the world."
The former Carlton star, who moved to South Australia for the 2014 season, last year signed a three-year contract extension.
Betts also said he "got a fair bit" out of the Collective Minds psychological training at the club's pre-season camp, contradicting reports the football player was left traumatised.
In a press conference today, Adelaide midfielder Paul Seedsman said despite ongoing media coverage relating to the controversial psychological training, the program would continue at the club.
"It's going to be part of the program going forward and yeah we've all moved on from that, so it's sort of old news that keeps rearing its ugly head," Seedsman said.
"It's part of our program, we do it and everyone gets their own little bit out of it."
Rumours of Mitch McGovern trade "ridiculous"
Betts' admission the club is struggling comes as management for Crows forward Mitch McGovern promptly scotched reports the 23-year-old West Australian wants to move to a Victorian AFL club.
McGovern, who was picked up at number 43 in the 2014 AFL national draft, missed the Crows' grand final loss last year with a hamstring injury.
His manager Colin Young said that while rumours were abound of players looking to get out of Adelaide, putting McGovern in that group was "ridiculous".
McGovern extended his contract at West Lakes in August, taking the versatile forward's future at the club through to 2020.
Crows legend Mark Ricciuto also dismissed rumours of a trade, saying he had not heard anything about McGovern trying to break his contract last year or this year.
"His manager came out and knocked it on the head straight away and said it was ridiculous," Ricciuto said on radio.
"He's on very good money for what he's performed so far, and good luck to him."
Racism can't be solved with violence
After the three-point loss to Fremantle on Sunday, Betts was the target of a racist comment on one of his social media accounts, where he was referred to as a "monkey".
Betts told FIVEaa radio he was angry when he saw the post and initially wanted to name and shame the person responsible.
He said he was sick of the issue of racism cropping up, and just wanted to play and enjoy football.
"I was so angry, and I wanted to put it out there and say it's not acceptable, but then I thought about it — he's a young teenage boy," he said.
"That doesn't make it right, what he said, but he goes to school, and if I named and shamed him, he might get bullied at school.
"If there's other Indigenous kids at that school that know that he did it, there may be a fight and I said to myself: 'I can't solve this with violence'."
Players have declared their support for Betts, with Seedsman saying the community's attitude needed to change.
"We can just wrap our arms around him, he knows that we all love him and what he brings to us and so we'll just keep supporting him," Seedsman said.
Richmond defender Alex Rance took to Instagram to express his shock that racism was still an issue for the AFL.
"At what point did humanity become second place to such a trivial thing as a game?" he asked.
"It's so frustrating that at this point it's still happening in our society and I don't think that players can have a strong enough stance on this."

The Document Also Contains Information As To Whether Or Not The German Government Conducted Official UFO Investigations During The Cold War…
I want to know facts and it bothers me that in France, England, USA, Canada, the citizens can see the UFO files, and I am not informed as a German from my German government. It is therefore such a glaring discrepancy…In France, a citizen is automatically informed by his government because the government provides the UFO files to the website of the space agency, so officially on the government side, anyone can view the documents free at home.
The document in question is titled, The search for extraterrestrial life and the implementation of UN Resolution A/33/426 on the observation of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial life forms. Reitemeyer knew of its existence due to the efforts of a UFO disclosure organization called Exopolitics Germany. President of the organization, Robert Fleicher, says a draft of the document was discovered in 2009. A freelance journalist, Lower Saxony, had contacted Fleicher asking him for some convincing evidence for UFOs that he could show a member of the Bundestag, Gitta Connemann, who he was about to interview. Fleicher sent them Exopolitics' usual UFO briefing documents along with other files. Saxony said that Connemann was very impressed and promised to look into the issue further. A few weeks later she forwarded the UN report to Saxony, who then sent it to Fleicher. Fleischer shared the document with the media, and excerpts were printed in the German newspaper, Welt Kompakt. The document reviews materials that Germany had sent the UN in response to a UFO resolution passed in 1978 intended to create an "agency or a department of the United Nations for undertaking, coordinating and disseminating the results of research into unidentified flying objects and related phenomena." The initiative was sponsored by the Prime Minister of Grenada, Sir Eric Gairy. Huffington Post reporter, Lee Speigel, aided Gairy in his effort by arranging audio visual UFO evidence for the presentation to the United Nations. Although the resolution passed, few countries chose to participate.
The document also contains information as to whether or not the German government conducted official UFO investigations during the Cold War. Andreas Schutz of the German Center for Aeronautics and Astronautics told Weltz Online that he has never heard of the German government investigating UFOs in relation to aliens, but says it is plausible that they did take reports on unidentified aircraft during the cold war. However, Munich physics professor Herald Lech replied: "I am convinced that German ministry officials have never dealt with UFOs. For now the decision lies with the Supreme Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg. The Bundestag claims that Germany's freedom of information laws do not pertain to their office of Scientific Service and that their copyright laws allow them to keep the documents private. Although the Berlin Administrative Court disagreed, no one is certain whether the Supreme Administrative Court will uphold that decision.

Daddycatcher's CATCH OF THE DAY: Tom Hardy
Daddycatcher had no idea who Tom Hardy was before this:
"I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.'"
Daddycatcher will pay attention to him now! Especially since he is starring in Inception, which blew Daddycatcher's mind when he saw it today!

Iroquois (3)
This is the "mounted Indians" pack from Conquest Minatures' "500 Nations" range; three generic natives who will pass for most Eastern tribes in the second half of the 18th century. Beautiful sculpts, but how will I use these figures? They will not see combat as such, but I envisage using them either as scouts for Burgoyne (hence the "Saratoga" label) or as general "scenic" Iroquois for something like Oriskany or the F&IW. As readers know, I'm very keen on putting "extras" on the table to add some colour, and these chaps certainly provide that.
I set out to paint the horses in colours that were not matched by "Western" cavalry, and each colour scheme is a new addition to the colours I use on horses. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the official names of the horse colours are, or even whether they are appropriate for the mid 1770s. But I think they look suitably "native" and they took a while to do. As a rough estimate, each horse took just over an hour to complete (but then I am a slow painter when it comes to horses...). I decided not to give the Indians themselves any war paint, as they are not really on their way to confront settlers; these chaps are on patrol, not looking for scalps. In the second photo below, you can see how the mounted figures stack up against Perry and Conquest "foot" Indians.
I have to admit, these figures have leapt up to the top end of my favourite sculpts. Sometimes one's painting just "works" and sometimes it doesn't, for reasons that you can't quite understand. I'm sure readers know what I mean. When I post pics of the Hessian du Corps Regiment early next week, you can see figures that don't really work - I have no idea why, but they just look, well, messy. These, on the other hand, seem to have come out fairly well I think. The quality of the sculpts is certainly a factor - these are outstanding and very characterful figures, which look like something out of a Robert Griffing painting. It's odd the way that units which appear on the table the most often are usually "ok", whilst those that have very little wargaming purpose, but are a bit different, are often painted with more effort. Anyway, I'm rather proud of these fellows, which explains the excessive number of photos!
3 figures. Painted October 2007.

Love the ethnic embroidery on the bag! The spotty horse is an Appaloosa, of course. One arguement is that they came to America from Spain with the Conquistadors so no problem for your period. The Nez Perce were great Appaloosa breeders and the name comes from the Polouse River which ran through their territory. According to my daughter's horse books anyway!

Those are some fantastic ponies! The riders are just as fabulous.
You like doing personality figures so much, you should consider doing some skirmish gaming with your AWI figures. You could probably adapt Brother against Brother for AWI by toning down the casualtys about 50%. The up side is you could use your based figures as Brother against Brother is set up for 9 or 10 figure units.
Something to consider - it would let you use a lot of your personality figures.

Creation of a dairy processing plant in Alsace
The European next door ;
Agriculture ;
Aid to businesses
Beneficiary: EARL Schmitt - La petite prairie
The EARL Schmitt Company in Ranspach-le-Haut is a mixed farming and livestock farm which produces 300,000 litres of milk every year, sold exclusively to the SODIAAL cooperative. Rather than expand, the family opted to diversify by creating a dairy processing plant designed for the production of yoghurts, fromage frais and milk.
This new activity is being run by the eldest daughter, Émilie Schmitt.
After graduating from school with a science baccalauréat , she decided to dedicate herself to breeding. After obtaining a BTS (advanced technician diploma) in "animal husbandry", she worked as part of a co-op programme in the Haute-Savoie and then Bas-Rhin departments, before joining the family farming business. Officially a young farmer since January 2012, she participates in farm work while developing her plant, with a view to processing and directly selling approximately 10,000 litres of milk per year.
The Chamber of Agriculture provided useful advice and information for the implementation of this new activity, while the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) helped finance the structural works, walls, floors, cold storage room, oven, as well as pasteurisation equipment: curdling vats, table, drainer, etc.
These working tools have helped the farmer save considerable time on a daily basis.
As this diversification goes hand in hand with the search for new customers, Émilie Schmitt has invested in producer-to-consumer sales, with a regular presence in numerous farmers' markets, which has allowed her to develop a customer base and generate loyalty thanks to the quality of her products.
She also opened a small shop within the farm and implemented communication tools to promote her activity (LEADER project of the Sundgau Local Action Group). Having applied to join the Bienvenue à la Ferme network (Welcome to the Farm), the EARL Schmitt Company has committed to implementing a Quality Plan in the processing plant, with help from the regional Chamber of Agriculture of Alsace.
Europe helped finance the farm shop as well as project communication.
Additional information
- Duration: November 2011 to December 2013 (2 years)
- Total cost: 82 288 €

"Thanks to European aid, I was able to buy the dairy processing plant, which allows me to produce yoghurts and fromage frais that we sell directly from the farm and in local markets.
I was able to realise my dream: working on my parents' farm. We're doing so well that we are planning the automation of the potting and labelling processes and may soon be hiring".

What to Look for in a Divorce Lawyer
"What to look for in a divorce lawyer?" This is a question that comes up a lot when people call 1-800-THE-LAW2 to find a divorce lawyer. Anyone who's ever gone through a divorce knows how painful and stressful it can be. Sometimes there's just no way around it. But one thing can help: a good divorce lawyer.
Divorce is a complex process, especially when property, financial assets and children are involved. There's a lot of paperwork involved, and negotiations can be complex. The right divorce lawyer plays a critical role in simplifying the process – filling out paperwork and negotiating the division of assets, and representing your interests every step of the way.
The right divorce lawyer can help prepare you for a fresh start; the wrong divorce lawyer can cost you financial assets, property and even custody of your children.
What to Look for in a Divorce Lawyer: Questions to Consider
Finding the right divorce lawyer means you have to ask the right questions. The following are good questions to consider when you're wondering what to look for in a divorce lawyer:
- Does the divorce attorney have a good reputation?
- Does the divorce attorney clearly explain what's involved?
- Is the divorce attorney up to date on divorce law?
- Can the divorce attorney handle large asset cases?
- Has the divorce attorney successfully handled contested divorces?
- Does the divorce attorney have access to experts in areas such as real estate, taxes and pensions?
There are also personal qualities that may be very important to you. Do you feel like the divorce lawyer wants to win for you? Does s/he appear strong and confident? Can s/he adapt to your changing needs? Sometimes an assessment of these characteristics is a matter of trusting your instincts.
And, finally, consider fees. An expensive divorce lawyer isn't necessarily the best divorce lawyer. There are many affordable divorce lawyers out there — and 1-800-THE-LAW2 can help you find them!

Ministers welcomed the broad-based national dialogue on Fiji's future taking place through that process, and commended the Constitutional Commission on its work to date.
6. Ministers emphasised the importance of a constitutional process which is fully independent, inclusive and without pre-determined outcomes.
7. Ministers expressed concern about remaining restrictions on human rights and the rule of law, and urged the Government of Fiji to address these, in order to create the environment necessary for credible constitutional consultations and elections.
8. Ministers reaffirmed the Commonwealth's readiness to provide assistance to Fiji in appropriate ways and encouraged further high-level interaction between the Commonwealth and Fiji.
9. Ministers noted the decisions of leaders of the Pacific in relation to Fiji at a number of recent meetings, and reiterated the Commonwealth's commitment to working in consultation and co-operation with regional and international partners.
10. Ministers continued the discussion on the situation in Maldives following their teleconference on 11 September 2012. Ministers received with appreciation a personal briefing by H E Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan, President of the Republic of Maldives.
11. The Group expressed appreciation for the work of the Commonwealth Secretary-General's Special Envoy, Sir Don McKinnon.
12. CMAG Ministers welcomed the release of the Report of the Commission of National Inquiry (CoNI), established by the Government of Maldives to inquire into the transfer of power on 7 February 2012.
13. Ministers noted the Report's conclusion that the change of President in the Republic of Maldives on 7 February 2012 was legal and constitutional, but also that certain acts of police brutality had occurred during that period which should be further investigated. They looked forward to advice from the Government of Maldives on progress with those investigations.
14. Ministers also noted the Report's recommendations that key institutions in Maldives, including especially the judiciary, police and human rights commission, needed further strengthening. The Group welcomed the commitment made by President Waheed to implement fully the Report's recommendations, including implementing reforms to strengthen the independence and quality of these institutions.
15. CMAG reaffirmed its support for Commonwealth assistance to strengthen democratic processes and institutions in Maldives. The Group expressed support for the Commonwealth Secretariat's technical assistance for strengthening the long-term capacity of the judicial sector. Ministers also welcomed the Secretary-General's offer to provide elections-related assistance. Additionally, CMAG appreciated the continued collaboration between the Commonwealth and other international partners in the consideration of further assistance for Maldives. Ministers reiterated their readiness to engage constructively with all relevant stakeholders with the aim of reinforcing democratic institutions, Commonwealth values and principles.
16. CMAG Ministers underlined their concern that all parties in Maldives needed to work towards resolving the climate of division and discontent in order to bring about lasting national reconciliation. Ministers noted the importance of ensuring that the Majlis worked purposefully on critical legislation, without further risk of disruption. Ministers again urged against any actions that might provoke or incite violence.
17. Ministers urged party leaders to commit to dialogue, paving the way to credible elections. Ministers emphasised the need to ensure that all parties and leaders are able freely to conduct election campaigns.
18. In accordance with CMAG's enhanced mandate, as agreed by leaders at the 2011 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Ministers further agreed that they would continue to engage with Maldives positively and constructively to support Maldives in advancing the Affirmation of Commonwealth Values and Principles, in particular in strengthening the judiciary, in the process of democratic consolidation and in institution building. In this context, Ministers asked the Secretary-General to continue to brief the Group on progress in Maldives, including at CMAG's next meeting.
19. Accordingly, CMAG agreed to continue to monitor the situation in Maldives, and to move consideration of Maldives in future to its agenda item "Matters of Interest to CMAG". Ministers looked forward to Maldives' resumption of full participation at CMAG's next meeting, in the absence of any serious concerns.
Other Matters
20. The Group further discussed relevant options relating to the proposal made by the Eminent Persons Group for a Commonwealth Commissioner for Democracy, the Rule of Law and Human Rights, as requested by Heads of Government in October 2011, in Perth. The outcomes of CMAG's consideration of that matter will be reported to Commonwealth Foreign Ministers at their meeting on 29 September 2012.

Removing Maldives might slow down the democratic and political stability in the country. Parties in this government has one agenda, to destroy its biggest rival Mohamed Nasheed and his Party. Any action supporting it will not stabilize but will damage the young democracy.
Manik, 1. October 2012, 12:31
Yes the democratic president who kidnapped a sitting judge by the military because he would not issue an arrest warrant for the illegal arrest of the two of the biggest opposition leaders.
The democratic President who told in public that he would not hold elections unless the judiciary is changed to his own satisfaction.
The democratic ex-President along with his party who now refuses to accept any Court. The same courts he used when he wanted to get rid of his opponents.
The Prosecutor General is independent and in fact was appointed by Nasheed himself and ratified by the Parliament. The Chief Judge of the Supreme Court was also appointed by Nasheed. Yet because they are independent he now refuses to accept any verdict or order of the courts.
These are the kind of people who say they are democratic.
Actually they are a clueless bunch of thugs.
The same with the activists of the other major parties including Gayooms.
Nasheed came with a lot of good will but his very undemocratic ways was his own downfall.
Maldives would be in this sorry state of affairs unless both Nasheed and Gayoom move away from politics.
The less said about the other politician who is trying to be President, the idiotic Gasim Ibrahim, the better.

The Royal Botanical Garden in Sydney is a must-see for visitors and a must-return for locals. It opened in 1816 and is the oldest scientific institution in Australia, alongside being one of the most important historic botanical institutions on the globe. The best part – it's free and open 365 days a year or 366 in a leap year!
Located by the Sydney Harbour, guaranteeing jaw dropping views, it is one of the most visited attractions in the city. Covering an impressive 74 acres (around 57 football fields), it's cleverly divided into four main areas: The Lower Gardens, Middle Gardens, Palace Gardens and the Bennelong. If you've visited the Gardens before 2010, you may have remembered the pesky flying foxes. These fruit bats caused havoc to the natural surroundings so by 2013, they were evicted and thankfully, the damaged trees have come out of intensive care and back on the mend.
The Gardens host an excellent series of ongoing tours and activities. These include workshops on plant identification to bush foods and guided tours of the Gardens or select regions. There are fees for additional tours such as the Garden Mount Annan ($77 per group), the Blue Mountains Botanic Tomah ($10 per person) and the Eco tours in the Conservation area (fees vary). One of our favourite attractions are the Aboriginal Heritage Tours ($36.50 per person) so you can learn how the natives lived off the land.
If you're interested in learning about helping the ecosystem, the Royal Botanical Trust encourages you to contact them about their Community Greening efforts. All locals reading this blog post; consider contributing seeds, plants and landscape materials to the Trust so the sub-organisations can utilize the local community support. Additionally, contact the Trust to set up a community garden in your own hood and see how they can provide resources and advice.
Since our boutique Sydney hotel is only a short ferry ride away, you can put your green fingers to rest for the night and marvel at the stunning skyline from Cremorne Point Manor. Recently being honoured with our fifth consecutive Certificate of Excellence Award by Tripadvisor, have a sneak peek at our home page video and check out the views we see every day from the Manor. If you're green with envy, then isn't it about time you planned a trip to Sydney?

Where are they now? In honor of our 20th anniversary, we got some answers from the people who started it all.By Lisa Leigh Connors
Q&A with John Harvey
Founder of Cape Cod Magazine
When John Harvey bought Cape Cod Magazine in 1998, it was a monthly local entertainment newspaper called the Neon Navigator, located in Mashpee. He changed the name soon after he bought it and operated it for four years before Michael and Liz Rabideau purchased it in 2002. Today, Harvey is publisher and editor of the monthly Pet Gazette newspaper and splits his time between Mashpee and Miami. We caught up with him from his home in Miami recently via email.
Q: Why did you change the name from Neon
Navigator to Cape Cod Magazine?
A: Because it lacked focus and needed a broader editorial mission for advertisers and readers across Cape Cod. We branded this new publication as a widely circulated magazine of 25,000 copies. We wanted to make a big splash, so we took it off the newsstands, made it a free publication and partnered with the Best Read Guide Distribution Company. Cape Cod Magazine was then distributed at more than 800 Best Read Guide key publication racks in all 15 towns on the Cape and Plymouth.
Q. What were you doing before you started Cape Cod Magazine?
A: I owned and operated four newspapers in the Metro West area, including the Bentley's Community Calendar shoppers in Sudbury and Wayland. After the Community Newspaper Company bought the four titles of our company in 1997, I started to search for another newspaper challenge. I came across the Neon Navigator for sale in Editor & Publisher Magazine and the rest is, as they say, history.
Q: As publisher of the Pet Gazette, do you work on the publication from Miami? Where is it available?
A: Yes. I am in touch with my staff daily. I publish the Pet Gazette monthly in print and online, working out of my homes on Cape Cod and Miami Beach. The free, monthly publication is available at more than 1,200 locations, including veterinarian hospitals and practices and other pet-oriented business on the Cape and Southeastern Massachusetts.
Q&A with Liz and Michael Rabideau
Publishers of Cape Cod Magazine, 2002-2014
In 2002, Liz and Michael Rabideau bought Cape Cod Magazine, with the goal of producing a glossy magazine with high-quality content. In addition to Cape Cod Magazine, Rabideau Media Group also published Cape Cod Guide, South Shore Living and Chatham Magazine, which are still in circulation today and part of the Lighthouse Media Solutions family. Today, the West Barnstable residents enjoy time at Long Beach in Centerville, Beach Point at Sandy Neck and attending Cape Cod Baseball League games. We took a trip down memory lane with Michael and Liz recently to discuss their time as owners of RMG.
Q: What publications did you own before Cape Cod Magazine?
A: Cape Cod Guide was our initial acquisition of Rabideau Publishing, which later became Rabideau Media Group. We were actively seeking a publication to start what we had always planned to be a group of publications, set in a seaside New England community with a strong local culture. We then created Cape Cod Parent & Child, which launched in December 2000 as a quarterly newspaper to serve young parents in the region. In the fall of 2001, we were approached to buy Cape Cod Magazine. It fit the need of becoming a core product with more of a year-round business cycle. It diversified our advertising base and had great upside potential from a circulation and branding point of view.
Q: Both of you are originally from Connecticut. How did you end up on the Cape?
A: Although we were from different parts of the state, we met while working at Southern Connecticut Newspapers Inc., which published the daily Stamford Advocate and Greenwich Time newspapers. It was there that we originally planned to one day own and operate our own group of newspapers. When we began our search, our goal was to create the job we wanted in a seaside New England community steeped in culture and history. It is purely by coincidence we ended up on the Cape—a place Liz had been coming to on vacation since she was born.
Q: You grew and shaped Cape Cod Magazine into what it is today. What was the driving force behind your success?
A: We were both active in the community and we were constantly gaining feedback from the local communities that made up our audience. By 2012, we had evolved from a magazine publishing company into a multi-media company. We began producing digital apps and a tablet version of the magazine. Our audience continued to grow as we created several weekly and bi-weekly newsletters, including Cape Cod Insider, and blogs like Relish and StyleFile, which had, in many cases, their own audiences. We were developing a digital-first format to build brand loyalty and increase audience engagement.
Q: How did you manage to work together as
husband and wife for 15 years?
A: The advantages and challenges of living with your business partner is that there is always a conversation, brainstorming session or debate happening 24/7. Liz focused on sales and I focused on administration and production, and we both worked with our editors on content. While it was clear that RMG was a family-run company, we welcomed and encouraged everyone's input. We did not always agree, but we felt the conversation, brainstorming and debate always made our products better.
Q: You started the annual Girls Night Out with Puritan Cape Cod nearly 15 years ago. What was the inspiration for this popular event?
A: In the '80s and '90s, it was called "value added." As part of our advertising pitch to Rick and Jim Penn to begin advertising with Cape Cod Magazine, we proposed creating an event in March, traditionally retailers' worst month of the year. The idea was to simply get our readers into the Puritan store at a tough time of year and vice-versa, to expose some of their loyal shoppers to Cape Cod Magazine. It was a win-win.
Q: What are some of your proudest or most memorable moments at Cape Cod Magazine?
A: It's always a terrific feeling to see a product you helped create, with your name on it, make it onto a store shelf and into a customer's shopping bag. We would literally start with nothing, and through the creative process and then the manufacturing process, end up side by side on a store shelf with the greatest magazines ever produced.
Q: Favorite cover stories?
A: I think my all-time favorite was the "99 Best Things to Eat" issue in June 2009. It marked the beginning of a new editorial direction where we focused more on helping the audience discover the best of the best in the region and helped burnish the authoritative voice the brand was seeking. Every single member of the staff participated in brainstorming, developing and writing the list.

Byrd's Nest
A place to land for a moment or two.
Saturday, April 28, 2012
My mother died last week. It was not unexpected nor was it unwelcome. Just weeks shy of 89 years, my mother's body and mind were both worn out. I had the profound honor of holding her hand as she passed, and I rejoice in knowing that she is in the hands of the Light.
My Mother
Today, to honor her memory, I give you, "
It's a simple chain design with lots of potential. In a single line, it's a delicate accent. Stitched in rows, side-by-side, it becomes positively lush. The possibilities are almost endless!
Enjoy. When you stitch it, I hope you think of your own mother and your unique and special relationship with her. And smile.
Be blessed~

I'm not Catholic, but I'm part of a religious tradition that embraces children and affirms large families. I had absolutely no idea how counter-cultural this was until I became an adult and was surrounded by contraceptive messaging. When I got married, my girlfriends gave me copies of books such as the one pictured here. They told me stories about how they spaced out their children or learned how to get pregnant. I think, in fact, that as many people who use what is frequently called "Natural Family Planning" are doing so in order to achieve pregnancy as to avoid it. In any case, this is one of those topics that religious women talk about all the time and the Washington Post picked up on a recent incarnation of this with a story headlined "Young Catholic women try to modernize the message on birth control." The story features a woman I know, Ashley McGuire, who runs the AltCatholicah blog. She talks about how she was drawn to the church because of what it taught about sex:
Yet the images the church uses to promote its own method of birth control freaked her out. Pamphlets for what the church calls natural family planning feature photos of babies galore. A church-sponsored class on the method uses a book with a woman on the cover, smiling as she balances a grocery bag on one hip, a baby on the other.
"My guess is 99 out of 100 21st-century women trying to navigate the decision about contraception would see that cover and run for the hills," McGuire wrote in a post on her blog, Altcatholicah, which is aimed at Catholic women.
McGuire, 26, of Alexandria is part of a movement of younger, religiously conservative Catholic women who are trying to rebrand an often-ignored church teaching: its ban on birth control methods such as the Pill. Arguing that church theology has been poorly explained and encouraged, they want to shift the image of a traditional Catholic woman from one at home with children to one with a great, communicative sex life, a chemical-free body and babies only when the parents think the time is right.
You know how when you read a story about something you know, sometimes you think that what you've read bears no relation to your personal experience? That happens so frequently with me that I'm
pleasantly surprised downright shocked when the opposite happens. See, whenever I've talked with Catholic or Lutheran friends about natural family planning, one of the main things that men and women will say they enjoy about it is that it leads to greater communication between the spouses. And far more now then even a few years ago, I hear people talking a great deal about their concern over how hormones affect their body and the general environment. I don't know how much we need to go into that here, but I just love that my personal experience matched up with something I read. I know, this should be happening all the time. But it doesn't.
So we learn how the Obama administration's mandate forcing religious employers to provide contraception coverage over their moral objections has led to Catholics talking more about contraception. It's a great, fresh hook on this story.
The new movement's goal is to make over the image of natural family planning, now used by a small minority of Catholic women. But natural family planning, which requires women to track their fertile periods through such natural signs such as temperature and cervical mucus, is seen by many fertility experts as unreliable and is viewed by most Catholics as out of step with contemporary women.
"It ends up being this lofty, 'Isn't every baby a precious blessing?'?" said Jennifer Fulwiler, a Catholic writer with five children based in Austin who uses natural family planning. "Meanwhile, you have one kid with colic [and] some 2-year-old pulling on your pants. It just doesn't resonate. There needs to be a modernizing."
My doctor always says it's as reliable a method as you are (you'll have to read the book on natural birth control to figure out what that means). In any case, the article quotes these women who are following the practice and they all give the reporter interesting and realistic quotes. We learn, too, that educational seminars about family planning are being held at local dioceses. We learn about some of the debates surrounding natural family planning and the intramural battles are interesting. It's all very multi-dimensional.
One reader who submitted the story said about it "It's not terrible, but there are some definite ghosts (the biggest one I see is that they don't make even a cursory attempt at explaining the Church's opposition to contraception)." But I thought the section with the subhed "Papal Guidance" included some helpful information:
Pope Paul VI wrote the contemporary teaching on birth control in 1968, a few years after the Pill was approved. It says couples can delay or decide against having children "for serious reasons." The term is left undefined, but the big picture is clear.
Couples "are not free to act as they choose in the service of transmitting life," it says. Instead, Catholics are to seek "the will of God and remember ... that each and every marital act must of necessity retain its intrinsic relationship to the procreation of human life."
Even though the pope never defined what constituted a justification to delay a pregnancy, large families became a hallmark of Catholics who wanted to show their fidelity.
I'm always skeptical when reporters claim to know what motivated all those folks with large families. Who's to know whether their large families were a result of fidelity to church teaching or not? It's also an interesting choice to say they "wanted to show" their fidelity instead of just that they "showed" their fidelity. I have many friends with large families and they just genuinely believe that children are one of God's greatest blessings. They're not having large families to "show" anybody anything. In the same way, another couple might be perfectly faithful to church teaching but, due to infertility or other problems, not have any children. They're not barren because they "wanted to show their infidelity" to church teaching, are they? It's just kind of a bizarre construction.
All in all, though, I thought this was a very interesting story. What did you think?

Tonight could be the night where Aussie hubby and I finally get the 'human bed' back to being dog-free.
Whilst I don't mind having a furry 'hot water bottle' (or two) with us during winter, it is a different story in summer. Living in a subtropical climate comes with hot, humid summer nights.
The solution? A soft crate off ebay that cost us around $AUD 44.
We must admit that our expectations are rather high. According to Cesar Millan, dogs are den animals by nature, and look for spaces in their home or yard that mimic a den. Dog crates make excellent dens and provide that safe, secure environment that dogs crave.
Well, so far the crate has been accepted. Now we just need to work on the sharing part!

When is a a girl band not a girl band? When it's Sarah Harding and a band.
Recent rumours hit the tabloids recently that the party animal was set to leave Girls Aloud.
The obvious PR course of action? To show the girls united.
But what have we here? Sarah in a starring role in the new ad for KitKat Senses, with her band mates left standing in the shadows.
Remember what happened to H and Claire when they left Steps to embark on a separate successful career? No, neither do we. A great pop warning for Sarah, perhaps.

Brunswick, Maine - Williams sophomore Jessica Kim (Tustin, Calif.) scored classmate Kristina Alvarado (Murrieta, Calif.) on an RBI-triple in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with a 3-2 victory over the Trinity College Bantams on Friday afternoon in game one of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Softball Championship Tournament, hosted by Bowdoin College. Trinity falls to 19-14 overall and will play tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. in an elimination game against the loser of this afternoon's game two matchup between the host Polar Bears and Amherst.
Kim led the Ephs offensively with two hits, a run scored and two RBIs, the first of which came on a solo shot in the fifth to take a 2-1 lead. Junior Lexi Curt (Moorpark, Calif.) and sophomore starting pitcher Mackenzie Murphy (Diablo, Calif.) both tallied a pair of hits as well for Williams, who out-hit the Bantams, 9-4. Trinity's pair of runs came via a sacrifice fly off the bat of senior captain Victoria Baez (Tuckahoe, N.Y.) and a solo home run by sophomore Nicole Towner (Erie, Colo.).
First-year Lindsay Golia (North Branford, Conn.) got the start in the circle for Trinity and went 4.2 innings while allowing just two runs, both on solo home runs, before giving way to junior captain Rachael Smith (Winchester, Mass.). Smith performed admirably in relief, yielding just a pair of hits in four innings of work and adding two strikeouts, despite being saddled with the loss. Rebecca Duncan (Simi Valley, Calif.) came on in relief of Murphy, who lasted only 1.1 innings, and earned the win in a 7.2 innings appearance where she struck out seven and let up just two hits.
The Bantams broke ahead for the game's first lead in the top of the second on Baez's sacrifice fly. First-year Natalie Bruno (Stratham, N.H.) led the inning off with a walk before advancing to third on a double by junior Meaghan Race (Grand Rapids, Mich.). Baez followed with a fly ball to right field that scored Bruno, however Duncan came on and worked a pair of outs to strand Race at second and limit the damage to the lone run.
Trinity held a 1-0 lead until the fifth inning when Williams jumped ahead to a 2-1 lead thanks to a pair of home runs. Brenna Martinez (Arvada, Colo.) led the inning off with a shot to deep center to open up a 1-0 lead before Kim doubled up the score with her own solo blast to right-center.
Towner hit a one-out bomb, deep over the left field fence in the top of the sixth to tie the game at 2-2. Both Smith and Duncan held the respective offenses in check in the seventh inning to force the game to extras.
The Bantams loaded the bases in the top of the eighth but were unable to produce a run. Smith retired the side in order in the bottom half of the inning to keep the game going into the ninth.
Trinity went down, 1-2-3, in the top half before Kim delivered in the home half to walk off. After a quick two outs, Alvarado drew a walk to put the game-winning runner on first. Kim came up clutch when she drove a ball into the right-centerfield gap which allowed Alvarado to race home, beating the throw to lift Williams to the one-run victory.


text: Power is defined as energy divided by time. Or, put another way, it describes what can happen in the space of a moment. From 11 frames-per-second stills to rich, uncompressed 4K video capture, Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras have the power to transform even the briefest flicker of light into a breathtaking portrait of what makes us human. Sony leads the mirrorless category and has continued building on the momentum from the Raw Power campaign to connect with consumers in even more meaningful ways. Sony's superior, innovative technology has captivated audiences, which has created a tribe of Sony a6000 and a7 loyalists who are inspired to capture the moment like never before. This year, The Power of the Moment takes mirrorless to new heights through an integrated campaign that brings the strength of the technology and the power of imagination to life. Our approach puts Sony Alpha in the hands of photographers working today to demonstrate how Sony's exclusive technology can capture authentic moments by delivering the power, strength and speed that have become synonymous with the brand.

Last night was definitely not the most sleep I've ever gotten. First I didn't get to bed until 2 am and then I woke up again at 5.30 am because little man decided it was time for his early morning work-out session. He already kicks a lot during the day but it seems to get worse at night. I am glad he's healthy and seems to be pretty happy in there, but I am one of those girls that needs at least 9 hours of sleep a night to function properly during the day...
I tried going back to sleep but that didn't work so I ended up at the kitchen table, with a mug of tea and worked on a poster design for a client. At least it was a productive morning.
So now I believe a little nap is in order. I need to get more stuff done today and that won't happen if I fall asleep in the middle of it ;)
Stop back for a post on how I got my work space organized :) And hopefully you are blessed with some warm and dry weather today. It sure looks like a nice day here in Pittsburgh.

By Julie Philipp ~ Posted Thu, 01/03/2008 - 3:04pm
Despite what they say about journalists, I prefer to focus on the positive.
But as we were toasting the New Year this week, I was somewhat glad to see 2007 go. Despite many wonderful happenings, the year brought some painful moments in my life. And I mean that quite literally. Here's an October excerpt from my personal journal:
It's Wednesday evening, and I am in Room Four of the hospital emergency room. I have a good view of the nurses' station, which is really the heart of the operation. The doctors come here to unload and pick up patient cases.
Tonight, they are treating a man suffering from a dog bite to his derriere, two women whose lives intersected abruptly on a dark highway, and an agitated patient whom the hospital staff seems to know fairly well. He screams incoherently, and puts a hole in the wall of Room One with his head.
The staff is discussing sedation, and where they should move him for the rest of the night. The first person they call is not interested in having him as a guest.
I am not particularly distraught, bleeding, or strapped to a backboard, so I know I'm low on the priority list. But after a couple of hours, Doctor A retrieves my clipboard from the station and comes in.
I rattle off my medical history and the mysterious symptoms that brought me here. After he rules out imminent death, his diagnosis is unexpectedly honest.
It's not a textbook case. Figuring it out could become a long, drawn out process of tests, referrals, waiting lists, phone calls, and co-pays.
"And even then you might not get an answer," he adds, before sending me on my way. Is it my imagination, or is he looking at me like some sort intriguing experiment?
Percocet in hand, I begin my trek through the health care system.
It was quite a journey too (I'll share more in the future.) Ironically, it coincided with WXXI's By the People event on October 20. We brought 100 local folks to Rochester Institute of Technology for a daylong discussion about Health Care. After they spent the morning in small groups, we put them in the same room with these people:
Dr. Nancy Bennett, Director of Center for Community Health, URMC
Tim Engstrom, RIT professor and co-editor of Health Care Reform: Ethics and Politics
Dr. Lisa Harris, Physician and panelist on PBS's Second Opinion
David Klein, CEO of Excellus BCBS
Joe Morelle, NYS Assemblyman and Insurance Committee Chair
Sandra Parker, CEO of Rochester Business Alliance
Stewart Putnam, Executive VP Unity Hospital
Fran Weisberg, Executive Director of Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency
A great group if you've got questions about health care cost, access or quality!!! We've been showing parts of this dialogue on Need to Know - you can catch the last episode this Friday night at nine on WXXI-TV. Stick around until 11 p.m., and you'll see the national By the People program that includes footage from the Rochester event.
Beginning next week, you can also request a DVD copy of the local discussion on our Web site: wxxi.org/btp
Best wishes for 2008!

Add this one to your awards given by web sites looking to generate more site traffic via press releases. Well whatever the reason, the 335i convertible was recognized by Cars.com as the 2008 Play Car of the Year and I'm not one to disagree.
From Cars.com: "The convertible's chassis is tuned for the discriminating enthusiast, with confidence-inspiring handling and compliant ride quality. In addition, the convertible's retractable metal roof adds year-round practicality and comfort and helps keep wind noise to a minimum. Plus, with the roof lowered, you're able to fully enjoy the inline-six's sweet exhaust note. The price for this kind of fun is on the high side, for sure, but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. In this case, it's money well spent." more.
