The other issues are too prospective for definitive action. I note one further editorial nit. The XML Schema doc uses the phrase "Universal Coordinated Time", whereas the definition in the ITU-R doc gives the English phrase as "coordinated universal time" (initial capitals not necessary). For reference, the best coverage of UTC activity in the ITU-R is often found in the CGSIC proceedings, this year's are at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/49thmeeting/49th_CGSIC_Meeting_Agenda.htm The overview of this year's ITU-R actions can be seen in Lewandowski http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/49thmeeting/Reports/%5B39%5DTiming_WL_General.pdf and Beard http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/49thmeeting/Reports/%5B41A%5DITU_future_UTC_CGSIC_49th.pdf -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Sunday, 11 October 2009 04:25:21 UTC

By Katie McHugh
Nearly 15,000 enrollment records from Americans trying to sign up for Obamacare never made it to insurers — but the federal government does not know which records never made it to which insurer.
The federal analysis merely compares the number of times Obamacare enrollees clicked "enroll" to the number of plans HealthCare.gov sent to insurers, according to The Washington Post. Consumers who send the vanishing enrollments, or "orphan files," are not notified that their information has not been processed and an insurer did not receive sensitive financial and health-related data, meaning that they could be in for an unpleasant surprise when the Dec. 23 deadline — the last day for customers to sign up for health insurance — comes and goes.
But government officials insist that less than one percent of enrollments disappeared into cyberspace since early December, even though their data does not include duplicated and erroneous enrollments.
The Health and Human Services Department needs 7 million Americans to enroll within six months of HealthCare.gov's launch to fund the exchanges, but only 365,000 Americans have signed up since the end of November, a drastic shortfall.
Some very information came to me today that I feel some of you might find interesting.
A friend and his wife had filed their income tax return for 2012 and all was well, that is, until Saturday when they both got letters from Social Security.
You see, his wife had sold a piece of property in California 15 years ago and they held the contract. In late 2012 the man purchasing the property decided that he wanted to take an early payoff and paid off the contract. Sounds great, right. Well hold your hats, hang on to your seats and get ready.
It seems that when they filed their income tax return and had included the income from the sale of that property and paid the taxes on it, that was not enough. Social Security was letting them know that due to this, they were going to be changed $489 each from their Social Security checks each month for the entire year of 2014. Now you might wonder why as I did. Come to find out this is part of ObamaCare; they are being assessed a total of $5868 EACH to be paid to Medicare due to the money from the sale of the property. Now, if they had not filed a joint return, only she would have been assessed, but because it was a joint return they both are being fined.
They contacted Social Security to find out why this was happening and were told that it was due to the tax return but nothing about ObamaCare. So they contacted their Tax Accountant that prepared their tax return and he informed them that he had just received the paperwork from IRS letting him know of this new change to the tax code. It seems that they will be looking at your IRS return and if you have any income over and above your Social Secuirty you will be taxed an additional tax on this for ObamaCare; not Medicare, ObamaCare.
So, folks, it has begun in earnest now. The taxes that we were told my Obama were not taxes are indeed taxes and it is much worse than we were or have been led to believe. Their Tax Accountant said that this is just the beginning as he was notifed there will be more taxes coming down over the next year to take effect in 2015 regarding ObamaCare. The only answer is to get a Republican President and overturn this ASAP!!!! It is just going to get worse all the time.
Is this just for those who take social security before age 66? This is worrisome to say the least. We work all of our lives send outer money in and these crooks keep finding ways to take it back!
Diane, it has nothing to do with when one retires apparently. It has everything to do with your reported income. So the key is do not cash in a 401K, do not cash in any annuities, you want to substantial income to be reported and you know, we have been hearing the warning abouit his coming for our retirement funds for months and months and didn't take it seriously. Mr. Obama found his loophole for this, it is ObamaCare and he gets you when you retire, apparently. Further, you are doubly penalized if you file joint returns. The same amount of money comes and regardless of who it is intended, you are both penalized for it.
It might be a good idea for all that are contemplating retirement to get to a good, reliable Tax Accountant and find out just where you will stand and how to best protect yourself before you get there.
As I understand, if you are already retired and you were to need emergency funds for an illness, etc., and you withdraw any of your money from investments, you file a joint return, etc., both husband and wife will be taxed on it, as we know, but you will get taxed once more for ObamaCare (Medicare) and that will automatically come from your social security benefits over 1 year following your declaration on income taxes. Nice, isn't it?
Thanks, Linda. This is such vital information. I'm passing it on to others I know as well. Retirement is now a huge fight for survival thanks to Obamacare. What a dirty trick in so many different ways the congress has played on us. Time to start screaming at all of them to get this dumped.
It is a dirty trick and this is precisely why we need to get Obama and his dips put in their place in 2014.
If I remember correctly one provision of the very misnamed "Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care" Act (boy is that latter a huge lie) had a tax on the sale of real estate including your house to fund part of the health care "insurance" mix and this may be what is being referred to here. Other sources of income like private and government pensions and liquidation of IRAs/401Ks was not part of that. They do have their greedy designs on those and with the more than compliant GOP "leadership" are likely to move forward on those after the 2014 election if not before since we will get the same excuses on that as we got on the budget fiasco, debt ceiling extensions, and every other thing the big government types in both parties want to do when they whine about "elections have results", "we're only one half of one branch of the government", "no more shutdowns because they hurt us politically", or what ever. Keep in mind that current tax law REQUIRES that anyone over seventy one and a half must take money out of IRAs/401Ks annually when reaching that age. Now anyone of you or your spouses who are drawing military pensions and are under 62 just got shafted on this latest deal by the party you hope will "save" you from Dear Leader and the Demagogue's excesses in spending, taxing, regulating, and curtailing your rights! The "deal" also allows the Demagogues in the Senate to pass more spending and taxes without the super majority approval that was in the last budget deal along with the now defunct sequester.
John, what happened was that this was property sold and then new property was purchased. However, the people carried the loan privately on the sale of the original property. Well, after 15 years the person who bought the property decided to exercise his option and paid the loan off early. It was the money from that early payoff that was taxed as by this time the couple are on Medicare.
And get ready as they were told by their tax accountant that the next phase to go into affect will target 401K's and other retirement funds. By the time Obama and his Democrats are done they will be taxing everything to fund Obamacare
Thanks Linda for this information, I may not take social security until age 70.
I don't think you need to be on Medicare for the tax to apply but there is a lower limit on the income level subject to the tax and there is a separate tax on the sale of real estate that kicks in although that may have a lower limit as well. Most people aren't likely to be affected by the surcharge on income since it is fairly high (in excess of $200K if I remember correctly) but more may be affected by the real estate surcharge that may also be a double whammy if the gain on the sale causes the annual income subject to tax to rise. Everyone needs to keep in mind that this alleged "Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care" Act is designed to do the following: transfer wealth to the "deserving", curtail individual freedom, reward Demagogue special interests with things like mandatory "women's health services", and ultimately make the average citizen the slave of the government. So far the actions taken to get rid of this farce have been zero other than some useless talk and actions from the House that the "leadership" knew was going nowhere. Shutting down the government was a concrete move but the RINOs wimped out since it actually might have had some effect on curbing some of the bill's effects. If anyone on this group really thinks the GOP "leadership" is serious in getting rid of ObamaCare they've imbibed in too much RINO Kool Aid!
John, that may be true but you see there are a lot of people that do have property that is worth more than $200K and they definitely are affected. This property was in California and you have to be aware of the prices of property there and you will see just what this means to a lot of people. Consider a person with real estate of $250K or above and there are a lot of people that fall into that, middle class people no less; they will be affected. That is exactly what Obama was saying all along. John, $200K is not that high, really. Today's housing prices, even with the collapse, are still pretty high. My Aunt and Uncle live in a home in Frederick, MD. They bought it for $155,000 and it is now appraised at $482,000 with some improvements. So if they sold it they will be hit, too. They are not wealthy people; the house is part of what they intended to be retirement investment. My Uncle is failing and so my Aunt was considering selling the house and buying a condo; not now.
Linda: If I remember correctly there are two separate taxes here. One is strictly on real estate sales and is a either a percent or a flat charge and the other is a surcharge on income beyond a certain amount. Sales of property would only affect the latter when the profit on the sale when added to the other income sources exceeds a certain amount that was somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 or $250K or slightly higher. The property sale taxable income amount would likely follow the capital gains calculation that deducts the purchase price and certain other costs like broker fees and may also be subject to the rules on spouses since it would follow current income tax calculation rules. One of those rules is if you take the proceeds of the sale of your primary residence and buy another primary residence the cost of the new residence is deducted from the income tax gain calculation. The real estate surcharge may not take that into account, however. That one seems to be more likely to affect more people than the income tax surcharge and may be higher in many cases. A house that was purchased for $200K and sold for $400K with a sales fee of $10K would generate a gain of only $190K and if the new residence was say $300K that gain would only be $90K and the income tax liability would be at the capital gains rate at the time that would be added to the income tax paid for the year (currently 15% - $13,5K in this case) which is part of the gross income tax liability for that tax year. Now if the real estate transfer rate was 3% (I think it was around that) my understanding the real estate ObamaCare tax would be $1200 that would be a wholly separate tax. One of the problems on the case cited is the transfer actually took place years ago and the income tax liability calculation may not be related to the property sale but the taxable nature of the note prepayment and how the financing affected the deal. Not a tax lawyer but have sold for a profit and bought up a couple times in the past were zero income tax impact since I always paid the same or more for the new primary residence as the sale price for the old one. BTW, in your aunt/uncle's case those improvement costs are deductible as well from the gains calculation and appraisals and actual sales amount rarely are the same since list and sales prices usually adjusted down.

WORLD BRIEFING | EUROPE; Czech Republic: Euroskeptic President Re-elected
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: February 16, 2008
President Vaclav Klaus, a center-right conservative, was narrowly re-elected to a five-year term with the support of 141 lawmakers in Parliament. He needed 140 votes for re-election. His main rival was Jan Svejnar, a Czech-born economics professor at the University of Michigan. Mr. Klaus disputes assertions that human activity is to blame for global warming and is a fierce Euroskeptic. The Czech Republic takes over the European Union's rotating presidency early next year.

As you may very well know, I have a strong distaste for the Paleo diet.
The way most people follow this diet is dumb.
Point blank.
BUT My friend, we'll call him The Trainer, shared an interesting video with me a couple of days ago, which I'd like to share with you all.
(Here is the text if you prefer to read.)
The Trainer and I had a little discussion a la Facebook, and I think it's worth repeating.
The Trainer: Argue with this please! I would like to hear the other side!
Me: First of all, I'd like to say that this is the first intelligent argument on Paleo/Primitive based diet that I've heard. I am very impressed that the focus on vegetables and hardly nothing on meat, except for the maybe two sentences on fatty fish consumption. You can even look at her sample plates and deduce that she is consuming appropriate serving sizes of meat (3 oz).
I completely on board regarding her recommendation to consume more fruits and vegetables to obtain (at least) the RDAs for vits&minerals. Her recommendation of 9 servings of vegetables a day remind me of the DASH diet (8-10 servings fruits and veg per day), which has proven beneficial for chronic diseases across the spectrum. Now, if we focus in specifically on the vitamin and mineral content of grains, dairy, and potatoes, I think you may be surprised.
Here are the nutrients she discussed in her article:
- B Vits
- Vit C
- Vit A
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Iron
- Iodine
- Omega-3
Take a look at these nutrient analyses:
1 Slice Whole Grain Bread
1 C Skim Milk
1- 8 oz white Potato
Not too shabby.
My choice to go vegetarian does not mean that I think it's the best diet for everyone. But massive consumption of bacon does not a healthy diet make.
P.S. If you think meat improves athletic performance, I beg you to reconsider – After going vegetarian, I cut 30+ seconds off my mile time, almost 8 minutes of my half marathon time, and 17 minutes off my marathon time. What upppp!
The Trainer: First of all, thank you. This is what I think good discussion should look like. A look at the facts, not the outlier idiot examples.
Second: Dont mess with bacon.
Third: Endurance athletes are a very small percentage of (college or professional) athletes, and, since they have very different nutritional needs (before, during, and after competition) should not be viewed as a good representation of Athletes as a whole. Some of the best Ultra-endurance athletes in the world are vegetarian, but I would happily challenge those herbivores to a pushup contest.
Me: Check it yo: Successful Vegetarian Athletes.
Okay, so there you have our nice, pleasant discussion. Eyes opened on both sides, I would say.
But then a few other Facebookers got involved, namely, The Doctor, who commented on the nutrient analysis of the potato…
The Doctor: empty carbs?
Me: Not at all. Check out all those vitamins and minerals. The potato gets a bad name because the way it most frequently gets prepared (i.e., fried…) Potatoes are a nutrient dense food!
The Doctor: so is steak! just without the insulin spike
Me: I could argue the negatives for steak, but I encourage you to look at nourishment from a non-food police perspective!
The Doctor: i'm not sure there are any negatives for a good grass fed steak esp as compared to a high glycemic index carbohydrate such as white potatoes which can raise ur blood sugar faster than consuming spoonfuls of pure table sugar… but I would love to hear ur argument
Me: Well, we could discuss the average American portion size for steak, common cooking techniques, or even take a trip down memory lane and revisit Nutrition 101 and metabolism. My previous non-food-police comment was referring to my strong belief that there is no.bad.food. There is room for everything in the diet– in moderation. 🙂 Now, if you eat a whole bag of potatoes – eh, not so great. Eat a 12 oz steak – eh, not the best idea. Or even eat that white potato all by itself, you're definitely going to see an insulin spike- a normal homeostatic control mechanism. (Remember, glucose is the body's preferred energy source.) BUT, if you pair that potato with 3 oz of protein, or a little healthy fat, the GI effect decreases significantly. In my opinion, it's about eating smart, not completely cutting out entire food groups. 🙂
Shocking and interesting, huh?
In conclusion, I'd like to share this research article with you, entitled, "The Status of Nutrition Education in Medical Schools."
Distribution of the total number of hours of required nutrition education at US medical schools. US medical schools responded to a survey conducted in 2004. Ninety-seven schools responded to this question (2 other schools did not indicate the number of hours).
The majority of doctors receive only 11-20 hours of nutrition classes in their training! Hardly enough to qualify them as experts in the field.
I don't want to make any blanket statements, but do you see the lesson here, folks?
Please contact a Registered Dietitian for nutrition information!
That is all.
Stepping off my soap box now.
Have a Lovely Thursday!

Sovjet emblem denied as trademark
There is always something going on in the fashion industry. In 2006, a Russian fashion designer's figurative trademark application (see picture) was rejected by OHIM. As can be seen below, the trademark shows a hammer with sickle under a red five pointed star of the USSR. The Russian fashion designer was not amused with the refusal of OHIM and appealed to the decision.
Last week, the European High Court ordered that OHIM rightfully rejected the Russian fashion designer's trademark application in 2006, because it was contrary to public policy and principles of morality.
The Court explains that it is contrary to principles of morality since in the Czech Republic, Estonia and Hungary, this sign is still regarded as a symbol of dictatorship. However, the fashion industry was not worried about this when the popular Fidel Castro army hats were introduced some years ago. Conclusion: whatever the future holds fashionwise remains unpredictable!

God pays the rent we owe so that we can work
Once more Jesus addresses the chief priests and the elders with a parable, a parable that convicts them of pre-meditated murder: "Let's kill the son to get the inheritance!" If you thought the first parable was bold, the one about the two sons, where Jesus said that prostitutes and IRS men were in a better spiritual state than the teachers of the law. Now he calls them murderers who should come to a wretched end. And not only are they murderers, but He says they're pretty stupid murderers, thinking that by killing the son of their landlord they will get the inheritance.
It's foolish enough to think this on the face of it, but when you see how much the master cares about the land he's renting out, you see it's just plain moronic. Jesus belabors the point. The man didn't just build a vineyard and rent it out. He fenced it in and built a watchtower around it. He cares deeply about his investment. And it's not just for the monetary value, either. We'll let the cat out of the bag and identify the master as our Lord, God the Father. Further, we'll posit that the vineyard is the Holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints. Listen to what the Lord says about His vineyard in Isaiah 5. He calls it "the garden of his delight." Now, to be fair, Isaiah talks about "the house of Israel and the men of Judah", so maybe you'll claim that God's delight is the nation of Israel, not the Holy Christian Church.
You might try, but you'd be wrong. God was never purely concerned about one race or nation. Not even when He told Abraham about inheriting the land and being the father of nations and kings. It was ever and always about God's plan of salvation, the blessing for all nations, the good news of a Savior, a bearer of sins in which we can put our faith. And "Abram believed and the Lord credited it to him as righteousness." Paul tells the Galatians that this is the good news that "God would justify the Gentiles" – non-Jews, us – "by faith." Faith in Christ who "redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us."
Thus Paul reminds the Romans of what God had already said in Deuteronomy and Jeremiah: it's about circumcising hearts, not bodies. And when those living and working in the vineyard prove unworthy, when they produce bad fruits, or in the case of the our parable, refuse to give the fruits they owe to the master, then the vineyard goes to someone else. Jesus' listeners draw that conclusion. "He will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time." Jesus agrees. "I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." The kingdom of God can be lost because it's not something that you take; it's something that God gives.
It's there in the parable. The landowner rents the property to the farmers. The owner gave his property to others. For a price. There's that living, active faith again. Last week we talked about practicing what you preach with the two sons. Here it's the familiar image of producing fruit and giving that fruit to God. Not as a payment getting you into heaven, no, never. Not by works, so that no one can boast and all that. But rather, the natural result of being rented land. Renters pay rent. It's an agreement, a contract. God gives us membership in His Church. We return to Him good stewardship of that Church. For the pastors and teachers, it's being faithful stewards of the mysteries of God: rightly preaching the Word and administering the Sacraments. For the people, it's faithful living according to God's Word. I think of the catechism on the First Petition, "Hallowed be thy name." "God's name is kept holy when His Word is taught in its truth and purity and we as children of God lead holy lives according to it. Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven! But whoever teaches and lives contrary to God's Word dishonors God's name among us. Keep us from doing this, dear Father in heaven."
In the parables of Matthew 21-22, Jesus talks about rejecting not only the Son of God by killing Him, as in our parable, but also the kingdom of God (the guests refusing to come into the banquet), and the work of God, as in the son who won't go out and the workers who won't produce fruits. Foremost among these things is simple unbelief: rejecting God's Word about forgiveness through His Son, the way of righteousness the Scriptures teach. Directly connected to that is refusing to see Jesus as the cornerstone or capstone of the whole edifice, the vineyard, the Church. Perhaps we feel safe, for we believe in Jesus and come to font, pulpit, and altar for forgiveness through Word and Sacrament.
But faith without deeds is dead, James says. So does Jesus. Jesus said your righteousness must surpass the Pharisees. You are salt, He said. You are light, He said. You are those to whom God has rented His vineyard, His Church, made so at your Baptism when God killed you to death and brought you to life in Christ, clothed with Christ. He proclaims you such in His Word, "For you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God." Notice that last: "belonging to God." As Paul said elsewhere, "You are not your own, you were bought at a price." Your faith in Jesus doesn't shield you from the accusations brought against the priests and elders.
In fact, your faith in Christ makes you even more accountable than they are, because you know more than they did. They could at least claim their rejection of Jesus as the Christ, the rejection of the righteousness that comes from God as some sort of fig-leaf of a defense. But you can't. You know very well in what vineyard you work, who your Master is, and how you got into this vineyard. The Father created you, sent His Son Jesus to die for you, and through the Work of the Spirit made you a renter, a worker in the vineyard, in the Church. If you're not working, you don't get paid. If you're not working, you might as well be beating up and killing God's servants and Son.
This isn't just about evangelism, a common application. "You better be telling people about Jesus, or else!" This is your entire life. Every moment, whether inside this building or out. As Luther says in the Large Catechism, the washerwoman with her laundry hangs her clothes to the glory of God. He only parrots Paul who said, "Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do it all to the glory of God." At work, play, school, home and in public service, you are a renter in God's vineyard called to produce fruits. Not to compromise with the world. Not to pick and choose when and where you produce fruits. God's always watching, always expecting fruits. As Paul said, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
What an admission. One we must frankly make ourselves. If we had a chart in front of us detailing our motivations and decision making processes, what percentage would be "for the glory of God" or "pressing on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." I suspect we'd find a depressingly high percentage of decisions made not out of service to God, but serving ourselves, with our "mind on earthly things," paying the rent to ourselves. We may not appear hostile to God, but our silence speaks volumes. Where our treasure is, there our heart is. Our budgets reveal priorities. Our schedules reveal priorities. Our language reveals priorities. Our lives reveal priorities. And they aren't always, or even often, the kingdom of God. If we aren't thinking of the kingdom of God, are we really IN the kingdom of God?
But what a Master and Landlord we have. He keeps on sending His servants. He keeps on sending His Son. Even though we beat and kill servants, and beat and killed His Son, He sends. He will not be stopped in sending His Son. Teaching falsely? Living sinfully? Closing a church, ignoring a mission, defunding or not supporting a school, passing by a friend in need of the Word or our help? Still, the servants and the Son keep on coming.
In this parable, God comes off rather doltish, doesn't He? Of course we understand the first servants. He's collecting rent. We can even understand another group. But the Son? They'll respect Him, really? Based on what evidence?
Look at our lives. We sin. We sin some more. We sin again. We reject this teacher or that pastor. We ignore this Word and that passage. We put our own needs ahead of the Lord so often. What evidence is there among us that God should send His Son to us?
None, of course. The Bible calls us dead, blind, hostile enemies of God by nature. Nothing lovable in us caused God's Holy Spirit to call, gather, enlighten or sanctify us by the Gospel. Just as nothing lovable in us moved God to give His Son as the atoning sacrifice for the world's sins. All the love rested in God. He gives us His love in Christ. He pours out His love in Christ, who, like the Son in the parable was dragged outside the vineyard, outside the city of Jerusalem, as Hebrews 13 says. The Son, the Cornerstone, the Living Stone, rejected by men but chosen by God. To do what? Hebrews 13 again: "To make the people holy through His own blood." This is that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me, the price for which God has called us heavenward in Christ: the citizenship in the vineyard, the Holy, Christian Church, which is really citizenship in heaven, and as Paul says, "We eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
This is what we strain towards, what God pulls us towards. Away from our mischief making and murderous sin, and towards His Son, murdered for us, so that God could give Him to us over and over and over again for our forgiveness, our life in the Word preached and the Sacraments received; God paying the rent we owe to keep us in the vineyard, the Church, where we work for Christ, waiting for Christ to come again and make us perfect. Amen.

Wander and wonder
There are two ways to think of Malta's delightful capital: as one massive fortress or as one tiny town. It is Europe's smallest capital and has to be in contention for the most charming. I love to just wander around it and see what's going on.
World Heritage Site
The whole city is just 1000 metres by 600 metres and it has been largely protected from development by the fact that it sits on a peninsula surrounded by massive fortified walls and the Mediterranean Sea - and, more recently, perhaps, by being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
City of the Knights
Valletta was the first planned city in Europe since the reign of the Romans, when it was built by the Knights of St John (the 'Knights of Malta') in the late 1560s. The Knights had just come through the Great Siege when the massed ranks of the Muslim world (the Christian Knights' traditional enemy) very nearly took Malta. With the siege over, the Knights were determined never to come so close to defeat again. Their new capital, Valletta, was built to withstand the harshest invasion and its walls remain a dramatic sight.
The town today is still a grid of tiny streets - many barely wider than a car and a few no more than a stone stairway - made narrower by Malta's characteristic painted wooden balconies or gallariji. The centre of town is largely pedestrianised with squares, restaurants (some excellent) and cafes as well as many of the Knights' original buildings, including the Grandmaster's Palace, the various auberges (residences) of the different language groups of the Knights, and one of the most ornate churches in Europe St John's Co-Cathedral.
Fortress Malta
Valletta was also at the centre of Malta's second siege, when the country held out against the Fascist powers in the Second World War - earning it the name Fortress Malta, as well as a George Cross awarded to the entire population. The famous Grand Harbour, central to both sieges and for many years a home from home for the Royal Navy, stretches beneath the city. A boat trip is a must.
Valletta is home to most of Malta's top museums too: the National Museum of Archaeology - with all the best carvings from the 5000-year-old prehistoric temples; the Museum of Fine Art and Ibiza nightlife as well as the subterranean War Rooms from which the Allied campaign against Mussolini was commanded.
Wander and wonder some more
There is so much to see and do (and eat) in this charming little city – just walk and you shall find.

Court documents shed light on case against Belmont man accused of killing his mother & brother
- Published in Local News
BELMONT — Police affidavits supporting the search and arrest warrants for the former home, personal property, and person of accused double murderer Shawn Carter indicate that during his initial interview with police he told them he was someone else.
During Carter's initial interview with two N.H. State Troopers held at the Belmont Police Department, Carter initially waived his Miranda rights and told police he was Alex Morley but he didn't know the date of his birth.
Carter told police he was also known as Shawn Carter and gave them a birth date of November 3, 1981.
When asked, affidavits said he told police that he had last visited his mother on Thursday, May 23, 2013 and she had let him borrow her car that evening.
Priscilla Carter, 59, and her son Timothy Carter, 39, were found chopped to death around 11 a.m. on May 24 in a first-floor bedroom at the 20 Sunset Drive home the three shared. The Asst. N.H. Medical Examiner estimated their times of death at between 10 p.m. and midnight on May 23.
The coroner determined each died of multiple chopping wounds consistent with those that could have been delivered with an ex or a hatchet. Priscilla Carter also had a single stab wound that was consistent with a knife.
Carter was spotted on May 24 driving his mother's car on Route 3 by Tilton Police who, along with Belmont and State Police arrested him. He was initially charged with driving without a license — second offense.
Taken to the Belmont Police Station, Carter asked them why he was there and they told him his mother and brother had been killed.
"Carter did not respond when told that information," read the affidavit. It went on to say that Carter told police he hadn't slept in six months and had no recollection of anything except being stopped by police.
He said he was returning his mother's car when he was stopped by police.
At that point, read the affidavit, Carter said he wanted a lawyer and the interview stopped.
During their interviews of neighbors and employees following the discovery of the bodies, an employee of Winnisquam Marine, located next to the house, said Shawn Carter had come on the company's property a few times — once he was asking for someone named Alex.
A neighbor told police she saw lights on in the house, both upstairs and downstairs, around 3:30 a.m. on May 24.
During the interview, said police, one trooper noticed there was "red/brown staining of the body of the baseball cap Carter was wearing that was consistent with blood splatter."
The second trooper said that during the time he was with Carter, Carter never asked him what happened to his mother and brother nor did he, in this trooper's opinion, express any surprise when told about their deaths.
Belmont Police supervisors interviewed Frank Dalton, the owner of the home rented by the Carters.
Affidavits said Dalton rented the house to the Carters and about three or four days before the murders, he asked Priscilla what was wrong with her son and she told him "Shawn was very depressed."
Dalton also told police that about one week before the murders, Priscilla Carter asked him about getting some wood. Police found two small stacks of chopped wood logs on the first floor of the home.
Affidavits said Dalton told police that Shawn Carter has stated he needed to get a hatchet and Dalton had told him the wood was already split and a hatchet wasn't needed. He also said he saw Shawn sitting outside and staring at Lake Winnisquam the day before the murders. Priscilla's car wasn't there and Dalton assumed she was working as he knew she did every day.
A second trooper spoke with Dalton's son who said he saw Shawn Carter splitting wood with a yellow-handled ax. A yellow-handled ax was recovered from the truck of Priscilla Carter's car when Shawn was arrested.
Affidavits say that three spots of blood from the ax were tested and determined Timothy Carter was the major source of the DNA. "As to two of the samples, due to the complexity of the genetic information, it cannot be determined whether Priscilla Carter and/or Shawn Carter may be a minor contributor to the DNA that was obtained," read the arrest warrant affidavit.
Two samples tested from the light-colored baseball cap Shawn Carter was wearing when he was arrested showed Timothy Carter was the major contributor. Again forensic specialists were unable to determine if Priscilla or Shawn Carter may have been minor contributors.
Two blood samples taken from one of the boots Carter was wearing after his arrest showed that Timothy Carter was the major contributor to one of them. As to the other sample, Shawn Carter was excluded as a contributor however, neither Priscilla nor Timothy can be excluded a a source.
"The DNA and blood evidence obtained from the Lab is consistent with Shawn Carter wearing his boots and baseball cap at the time he used the yellow-handled ax to kill Timothy Carter and Priscilla Carter," read the arrest warrant.
Included in the search warrant affidavits was also a description of the bedroom where both bodies were found. Police said they noticed glass that apparently came from a broken globe on a ceiling fan in the room on the floor behind Priscilla Carter's head.

Midland police seeking suspects in string of aggravated robberies
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, May 2, 2010
Midland Police Department detectives are seeking a suspect or suspects they believe to be connected to three aggravated robberies that have occurred since Sunday morning and possibly could be connected to another robbery last week.
The most recent incident occurred around 6 a.m. Monday at the IHOP restaurant in the 300 block of East Interstate 20, according to a Midland Police Department report.
The suspect entered the restaurant, grabbed a waitress and demanded the manager open the safe. When the manager could not open the safe, the suspect struck the manager on the head with a handgun and fled the business going eastbound.
The manager was not injured in the incident.
On Sunday at about 11:09 p.m., a man with a similar description entered the Pizza Hut in the 400 block of Andrews Highway through the back of the business while two employees were taking the trash out, the report says.
The suspect grabbed the female employee by the shoulder and forced the two back inside the business. He then demanded money from the cash drawer and also took money from both the female and male employees, according to the report. The suspect also was carrying a black handgun, and no one was injured during the incident.
Earlier Sunday, police responded to the Knights Inn in the 1000 block of South Midkiff, according to the report.
The front desk clerk reported a suspect came into the hotel around 1:10 a.m. Upon entering, the suspect pointed a handgun at the clerk who then handed over the cash drawer to the man and watched as he "casually" walked away heading southbound, the report says.
Detectives said they believe the same suspect could have performed all three aggravated robberies.
Authorities said they are also looking into the possibly that the man involved could have also robbed the Taylor Petroleum convenience store on Saturday, April 24. That incident happened around 10:16 p.m. when a man walked into the store, attempted to make a purchase then held up the cashier at gunpoint and grabbed the money from the register.
In each incident, the suspect is described as a black male in his 30s who is between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall.
On Sunday, he was reported as wearing a blue and white beanie and black clothing at Knights Inn. At Pizza Hut, witnesses said he was wearing a black beanie, black clothing and a white undershirt. At IHOP witnesses said he was wearing a black shirt with a white undershirt, blue jeans, black footwear and diamond studs in both ears.
Witnesses at IHOP also said the man had a short well-trimmed beard while witnesses at Pizza Hut said he appeared to have a goatee on his chin only.
Anyone with information on the incidents or suspect/suspects is asked to call Midland Police, 685-7108, or Crime Stoppers, 694-TIPS.

Prince Albert and his wife Charlene of Monaco pose with their twin babies Jacques and Gabriella in photos released on their official Facebook page.
The Christmas-themed photos show the royal parents with their hands full with Princess Gabriella in pink and Prince Jacques in baby blue.
Gabriella was born first at 5.04pm, and Jacques at 5.06pm, but it is Jacques who will be the future Prince of Monaco, because of the Mediterranean principality's male inheritance laws.
They are the first children for the 36-year-old former South African Olympic swimmer, who married Prince Albert II, 56, three years ago.
Prince Albert was by his wife's side as the children were delivered by Caesarean on December 10 at the Princess Grace Hospital, which is named after Albert's mother, the late Hollywood star, Grace Kelly.
Soon after 7.30pm, 42 cannon shots rung around Monaco, confirming that the babies had been born.
The babies are the first twins in the royal household, which dates back to the 13th Century.
Albert said he didn't know the sex of the children before birth.
He said: "It is one of the beautiful surprises that life offers us."
Albert, the son of the late American actress Princess Grace, had worried some of his subjects with his long bachelorhood and his lack of a legitimate heir.
He married Charlene Wittstock, a Zimbabwe-born, South Africa-raised former Olympic swimmer in 2011. Her pregnancy was revealed in October.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, many single people return to thoughts of finding love online. But while your head is in the online clouds, you should know –
and sorry to sound like a parent – that cyberscammers may be there with you looking to take advantage of your vulnerable heart.
To help you stay safe on Valentine's Day and year-round, here is a look at some of the top romance scams and threats, followed by safety tips in honor of your heart:
1) Online Dating Scams—Millions of people use online dating sites to broaden their networks and meet potential
mates, but not everyone on these sites are sincere—some are scammers hoping to lure you in with false affection, with the goal of gaining your trust, and eventually, your money.
2) Love Exploits—These threats have you looking for love in all the wrong places—like dangerous websites designed to steal your information. One recent example of this is the Koobface worm, which targeted Match.com users by sending messages
that appeared to be from other users, inviting them to look at photos and videos on a Match.com look-a-like site. When users tried to log in to the malicious site, it recorded their usernames and passwords and attempted to install a Trojan.
3) Valentine's Day Spam & eCards–Scammers know that the holidays are the perfect time to send out themed messages and eCards, knowing they will grab your attention. Spam messages with subject lines such as "The Perfect Valentine's Day
Gift" may contain a link to a dangerous website that asks for personal information. And, a message that appears to be an eCard from a loved one could actually download malware on your machine when you click on the link, leaving you with an infection, rather
than affection.

More sex means living longer, says science. One doc claims it can add up to eight years to your life.
At a school reunion last summer, one former classmate looked 10 years younger than the rest of us. Someone finally asked his secret. "Three orgasms a week," he said, to laughter. Later I asked him if he was serious, and he referred to a study showing that, when all the various scientific claims for improving longevity are fed into one database, you gain two extra years by flossing every night and three years by having more than three orgasms a week. It went against all the negative folk wisdom I'd heard about how having too much sex could drain me of my "chi," bring on depression, or even lead to a stroke.
As it turns out, the benefits of sex are a factor in all three categories of male mortality — heart disease, cancer, and environmental causes (stress, accident, suicide) — and plenty of scientists are pushing the idea that the more sex you have the longer you'll live. The Johnny Appleseed of the theory is Michael Roizen, a 62-year-old doctor who chairs the Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
"For men, the more the better," he says. "The typical man who has 350 orgasms a year, versus the national average of around a quarter of that, lives about four years longer." And more than those extra four years, Roizen says, the men will feel eight years younger than their contemporaries. Is there an optimal number of orgasms for the average man? Roizen suggests, with a straight face, that 700 a year could add up to eight years to your life. This is an ambitious prescription: The average American adult male has sex just 81 times a year.
Roizen's formula may be new, but the benefits of sex and orgasms have been tracked for years, and there's some compelling hard evidence to back Roizen's claims. A Swedish study done in the '80s found that 70-year-olds who made it to 75 were the ones still having sex, and a Duke University study that followed 252 people over 25 years concluded that "frequency of intercourse was a significant predictor of longevity."
Do it now:
Have sex for up to 13 minutes. A recent survey from Penn State University in Erie found that seven to 13 minutes of intercourse (from the time the penis enters the vagina until ejaculation) was most enjoyable. Respondents, who consisted of psychologists and doctors, among others, also found that one to two minutes was too short and 14 to 30 minutes too long.

SEC Extra Points with Barrett Sallee: SEC Network, Steve Spurrier Hype and MoreJuly 25, 2014
A Few Big Fish Left in the Pond
Another week, another major provider has signed on to carry the SEC Network when it launches on Aug. 14.
ESPN and the SEC announced Thursday afternoon that Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks have agreed to carry the new 24-hour cable network when it flips the switch two weeks before the season starts.
"It is great to have Time Warner Cable as a distribution partner for the SEC Network," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive in a release. "Time Warner Cable customers, particularly those in South Carolina and Texas, will have the opportunity to enjoy our football season opener exclusively on the SEC Network when Texas A&M visits South Carolina on August 28."
The addition of Time Warner and Bright House to the current roster of providers, which includes Comcast Xfinity, Google Fiber, AT&T U-Verse, Dish Network and several smaller carriers, will make the network available to around 60 million customers.
It was a different era, and the Big Ten Network was blazing a trail, but when it launched in 2007, it was available to 16 million people.
The SEC Network will add more homes before launch.
The biggest fish left in the pond that's yet to sign a carriage deal is DirecTV, which released a statement earlier this month that it is continuing negotiations with ESPN, which wholly owns the SEC Network.
Slive swung for the fences at SEC media days, saying, "The SEC Network right now is available to everyone." You just may have to switch providers.
That won't be necessary. With just under three weeks before launch, that 60 million number, combined with the possibility of Disney/ESPN leveraging its non-sports programming, will be impossible for DirecTV, Charter and every other holdout to ignore.
Slive, ESPN Senior Vice President Justin Connolly and everyone associated with the startup of the new network have played their cards perfectly. It's almost as if it was part of the plan.
Where's the Love for South Carolina?
Steve Spurrier is never one to hold back his feelings, and he let it be known Thursday at South Carolina's golf tournament that he feels his players were getting overlooked in the preseason All-SEC teams:
Spurrier wasn't happy Skai Moore was left off media preseason All-SEC teams: "We've gotta do a better job of promoting these guys."— Ryan Wood (@rwood_SC) July 24, 2014
Spurrier says they have a lot of returning players that have played well. He & Steve Fink have to do better job getting names out there.— William Gunter (@WillGunter560) July 24, 2014
Spurrier surprised more Gamecocks weren't preseason All-SEC "Our guys can play some ball now."— Matt Connolly (@MattConnollySHJ) July 24, 2014
He's right. For a team that's likely going to land in the preseason top 10, there's a remarkable absence of Gamecocks on the three-deep preseason All-SEC teams.
Running back Mike Davis and offensive linemen A.J. Cann and Corey Robinson were on the second-team offense, while cornerback/safety Brison Williams was the third-team defensive back, according to CBSSports.com.
That's great for Davis and the offense, because a solid offensive line and a top-tier running back will win you a lot of football games. But that defense lacks all kinds of star power. Moore and "Spur" Sharrod Golightly were pretty solid last year and could make a push to make the postseason team—especially if Spurrier does a better job of promoting them.
Rearview Mirror?
Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall's legal issues are now officially behind him.
According to Joel A. Erickson of AL.com, Marshall's mother, Shalena Cliett, paid fines stemming from his citation earlier this month for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana ($1,000) and illegal window tint ($100), officially closing the case.
So what becomes of Marshall now?
Head coach Gus Malzahn said during SEC media days in Hoover, Alabama, earlier this month that his quarterback would face some consequences but hasn't decided what they will be. Expect there to be a small suspension.
Malzahn holds his quarterbacks to a high standard and expects nothing short of perfection from them. Because of that, I expect there to be a small—likely unannounced—suspension for the senior signal-caller in the Tigers' season opener versus Arkansas.
What will that be? A game? A half? A quarter? A series?
Expect him to dress, and then we'll find out after the opener.
A "Big" Loss?
Georgia's defensive roster attrition continued this week when defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor was arrested for felony aggravated assault/family violence and subsequently dismissed from the program, according to CBSSports.com.
So what does it mean for the Bulldogs defense?
Taylor came to Georgia as a potential force at nose guard, but the 6'4", 330-pound former 4-star prospect was buried on the third team behind Mike Thornton and Chris Mayes, according to the depth chart in Georgia's media guide, via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It hurts from a potential standpoint and, to an extent, a depth standpoint, as there's a little less of a margin for error in the center of the Bulldogs defensive line.
Is Taylor's departure something that will devastate the Bulldogs defense? Not really. But it eliminates an option, and defensive lines always need options.
Strong Progress on the Rivalry Front?
One of college football's most storied rivalries is still off the books, but there may be progress on Texas' side to renew the rivalry with Texas A&M.
New head coach Charlie Strong said during the Big 12 coaches "car wash" at ESPN that the game "needs to happen," according to Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com. That flies in the face of his boss, athletics director Steve Patterson, who told ESPN.com's Max Olson in April that renewing the rivalry with the Aggies isn't on "the top of his list."
Thank you, Coach Strong.
A fresh face in Austin, Strong brings a new perspective. One that isn't stuck in the mindset that Texas A&M is Texas' little brother. Ever since moving to the SEC in 2012, the Aggies have been establishing their own identity outside of the shadow of the Longhorns, and that will only continue as the program becomes more synonymous with the SEC around the country and within state lines.
Strong is no dummy. He knows those three letters resonate with recruits, and one way to keep and maintain dominance is to settle it on the field. Otherwise, Texas is just letting Texas A&M continue to define its own identity, which is bad news for Strong and the Longhorns.

Well, gee, this is new.
First of all, I've never seen the SFPD driving around in one of their new-fangled Ford Taurus POLICE INTERCEPTERS*
And second of all, I can't recall seeing the SFPD using handheld radar guns pointed out the rolled-down window of a radio car,** in all my years.
An officer "likes" his Kustom Signals Directional Talon Radar Gun, pointed southward on Masonic Boulevard over the Labor Day weekend:
Click to expand
A bystander on one of the gratuitously super-wide sidewalks of Masonic said that this cop using radar on this street was, "an outrage, an illegal outrage."
Which I don't think is true, actually.
The SFPD has said for a long time it uses radar for speed enforcement, but its spokespeople are cagey about it, I don't know why.
Now I'll tell you, this scene was south of Fulton (which of course has a much higher maximum speed (35 MPH at least in the Richmond)), compared with Masonic's 25 MPH) betwixt Hayes and Grove and most of the speeding goes on north of Fulton, in the hilly area south of Anza, where there are just two signals and they are more or less synced.
Anyway, in a land where we can't put up proper cell phone towers, the police are allowed to point radar guns at you from cars.
Go figure.
*Which is just a ridiculous name for a car. Intercepter actually can mean something in a military*** setting, but using the term for a regular old police car is 100% marketing. How about "heavy-duty" or "police special" instead, Ford, you know, for your ugly, ugly big-on-the-outside, small-on-the-inside Taurus?
**Radar carts, sure, and the motor patrol, sure, but not from a parked car.
***Yes, the US Coast Guard is a branch of the military, the smallest branch, AAMOF.

Story highlights
- Obams reaffirms US commitment to fighting ISIS
- Obama praised the response from citizens in New York and New Jersey
New York (CNN)President Barack Obama worked to calm Americans' jitters Monday after a series of attempts at mass violence, suggesting that yielding to fear amounted to a win for terrorists.
During two appearances in New York, Obama praised the swift work of law enforcement authorities looking into duel bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey over the weekend. And he urged Americans to follow the lead of residents here by not submitting to fear.
"I think it is important to remember what terrorists and violent extremists are trying to do. They are trying to hurt innocent people, but they also want to inspire fear in all of us, and disrupt the way we live to undermine our values," Obama said. "We all have a role to play as citizens in making sure that we don't succumb to that fear. And there is no better example of that than the people of New York and New Jersey."
"Folks around here, you know, they don't get scared. They are tough, they are resilient, they go about their business every single day. And that kind of toughness and resoluteness and a recognition that neither individuals nor organizations like ISIL can ultimately undermine our way of life," Obama said. "That's the kind of strength that makes me so proud to be an American."
The President was speaking Monday morning from a hotel in midtown Manhattan, where he's attending his final United Nations General Assembly meeting. Two miles south, in Chelsea, investigations were still piecing together evidence following a bomb explosion in a dumpster Saturday night, which injured dozens.
The attack appeared linked to another explosion in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and a series of pipe bombs found in a backpack Sunday night in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A third incident in Minnesota, where a man stabbed nine people before being shot, is being investigated separately as a "potential act of terrorism," Obama said.
Monday afternoon, Obama said he'd spoken with law enforcement officers who helped apprehend Ahmad Khan Rahami, a suspect in this weekend's bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey, and hailed their actions as heroic. He also said he phoned an off-duty officer who neutralized the attacker in Minnesota.
"It's just one more reminder of the skill and sacrifice and what they put on the line every single day to make sure we're safe," Obama said following talks with Iraq's prime minister Haider al-Abadi.
An ISIS wing claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack, though Obama avoided pinning any specific motivation on the attacks during his appearances on Monday. He did, however, insist his administration was going after the terror group aggressively to prevent any further violence.
"We will continue to lead the global coalition on the fight to destroy ISIL, which is instigating a lot of people over the internet, to carry out attacks," Obama said, using the administration's term for the Islamic State group. "We are going to continue to go after them. We're going to take out their leaders, we're going to take out their infrastructure."
Following his talks with Abadi, Obama conceded retaking Iraq's second largest city from the terror group would be difficult.
"This is going to be challenging," Obama said of long-held plans to liberate Mosul. "We feel confident that we will be in a position to move forward fairly rapidly."
"It will be a tough fight...This is going to be hard, this is going to be challenging," Obama continued, adding he would support and assistance from other countries and from US lawmakers.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Reading (01/25/07)
TITLE: Dear Mr. Lewis
By Susan Gibson
How can I ever express to you how much your books have meant to me? From the first time I discovered Narnia as an 8-year old, and even now, as a middle-aged woman, I've longed to have adventures there.
It's Aslan, really. I wanted to meet that beautiful lion. The lion who was "not safe, but good." Who was "not a tame lion, you know!" The son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-sea who could bring spring to an endless winter, who would sing worlds into existence, who was trusted and feared. I was under the spell of this magical beast.
I had a childhood friend who loved your books as much as I did. Her name was Lucy. And mine is Susan. How perfect! Susan and Lucy, just like in the books. I was saddened that your Susan doesn't come through in the end, that she refuses to believe any of it was real and wants only to be a "grownup". Unlike my namesake, I had no desire to grow up! I re-read all the books in the series dozens of times, but I only read The Last Battle for a second time many years later, as an adult. By then I thought I could bear reading about Susan's horrible fate: no longer a "friend of Narnia".
As brilliant and rich as your stories are, I was actually disappointed when I discovered later on that they were all based on the Bible and that Aslan was a Jesus figure. Everything I knew of Jesus I learned in catechism classes, where we were forced to memorize endless doctrines and formulas. Never did I consider Jesus to be an honest-to-goodness human being who loved me incredibly much. So to say that Aslan was supposed to be like Jesus just didn't add up for me. But then I didn't want to admit that there was no Santa, either.
Later I attended college. College is where people think they'll learn how to be grownups and decide on careers that will make them happy and content. College is where some people begin to consider their childhood simply as a time of happy memories. They don't recognize that the things they knew then were the only things that mattered. I was headed in that direction until my childhood dream was fulfilled. I met the real Aslan! I met Jesus, the Word, the Son of God the Father Almighty. Jesus, who brings the spring of new life to the otherwise endless winter of death. Jesus, who was not only at the beginning of creation, but is the Beginning.
I am now "under His spell" far more than I ever was of Aslan. But when the clouds come, and I forget the wonder of Jesus, I can look at Aslan and let him remind me of the incredible character of Jesus.
Oh, and I still long for magic adventures. But it seems the better I come to know Jesus, the more magical this adventure of my life becomes.
I hope you can accept this note of gratitude for introducing me to the Lion!

It's a good time to be in the temp business. While unemployment topped 10 percent across the nation in October, the country added 34,000 temporary jobs, a sign that permanent positions could be on the horizon.
"It would appear that the mood out there is that companies would like to make certain hires. There's a pent-up demand, but because they don't have the OK to hire yet, they're hiring temporary workers," said Steve Kass, district president of Robert Half International, a professional staffing agency withe nine offices in the Chicago area.

Grangegorman Masterplan
- Basic
- Data
- Media
- Publications
- Files
The Grangegorman Masterplan creates a new higher learning campus for Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and Ireland's national health care service (HSE). The 73 acre site was previously used by the old St. Brendan's Psychiatric Hospital and is located north of Dublin's historic center. Walled off from the rest of the city since the early 19th century, the site is one of Dublin's largest undeveloped pieces of land. The masterplan reintegrates this hidden jewel of open space back into the dense urban fabric of the city of Dublin. It was important to maintain links to the past by protecting much of the mature landscaping and open space as well as eleven existing historic buildings that will be revitalized with new programmatic roles. DIT plans to complete the move by 2011 when all of its 40 disparate locations will finally be accommodated on one single highly sustainable campus. HSE will also have improved facilities that will serve the surrounding community. This master plan creates a vibrant urban quarter by responding to the site's rich historical context and strengthening connections to the existing urban fabric. A major east-west pedestrian path takes full advantage of the opportunity to join several significant green belts and circulation axes in the area. Within the campus, the master plan creates two major centers of activity: Library Square serves as the "campus heart` toward the west, while the more public-oriented Arts Forum to the east is lined with theaters, museums and exhibition galleries. A formal "urban path` links the significant destinations on the campus. A "landscaped path` counterpoints the main path to provide a more informal means of access to the buildings. A series of north-south landscape "fingers` weave through to provide direct access to the separate DIT and HSE districts. A rich hierarchy of open spaces supports activities on the campus, from serendipitous encounters to festive gatherings. The landscape design carves the land in selected areas to accommodate usable spaces on a lower "basement` level, incorporating the sports pitches (fields) harmoniously into the existing natural landscape of the site and reducing the apparent mass of the curved residential buildings. A series of water features unifies the campus and provides focal points while collecting rainwater. The design offers world-class, innovative facilities for both DIT and HSE, enhancing their identity and image by employing a contemporary interpretation of traditional collegiate quads. Student housing and amenities are woven through the site along a sinuous landscape path at the edge of the sports pitches, looking out onto the city and Dublin Mountains beyond. All existing "protected structures` within the site have been preserved, while a Cultural Garden connects the older and new buildings on the campus. The plan comprehensively delivers the goal of sustainability by considering a full range of social, economic, environmental and natural resources. A major benefit of the project is the many significant and real contributions that it will make to rejuvenating an important part of Dublin's inner city. The Masterplan is centered on improving health care and promoting participation in lifelong learning, research, innovation, training, cultural activities, and sports. The site will remain in public ownership and continue to provide a major resource to generations of users in the decades ahead. The concept of developing health and higher education provision on one campus is unique and exciting, opening up prospects for synergistic activity in the delivery of services, development of health education, potential for community health and social research, creation of critical mass for commercial and ancillary services, as well as many other opportunities in terms of community development and interaction. The project will set the standard for future urban development projects around the world.

New Delhi, Jun 5: In a move that would benefit land owners, the Union Cabinet on Tuesday cleared the Rural Development Ministry's proposal to amend the century-old Registration Act to ensure greater accuracy in calculating land values.
The amendment has been brought to the Registration Act, 1908 to "update and record" the market value of the land in the changed scenario so that farmers, whose land is acquired for various projects, get "real market value" under the proposed Land Acquisition Bill.
Elaborating the significance of the amendment in the context of proposed Land Acquisition Bill, a senior official said one of the key features of the proposed Land Bill is the greatly enhanced amount of compensation that is guaranteed to displaced families.
"However, to calculate this amount, the formula relies on the current market values in place -- the registered value. Registered values are notoriously opaque and often outdated," he said.
Furthermore, land titles are often subject to dispute because of the unprofessional and ad hoc way in which they are recorded, the official said.
"These new amendments to the Registration Act will ensure greater accuracy in arriving at land values and in helping determine beneficiaries (through clear titles)," he added.
The objective of the legislation says, "all manners of agreements relating to land or property need to be registered if they are to be considered as evidence in a court of law."
The new measure proposes compulsory registration of power of attorney. This has been brought as the Registration Act, 1908 does not make it mandatory for registration of a power of attorney and this has been exploited by individuals to transfer property without getting it registered.
It has resulted in enormous loss to the state exchequer and has given rise to numerous disputes.
The measure also proposes to define the term "lease" more comprehensively "so as to make leases for periods below one year (but above a specified amount) compulsory registrable".
