Although you risk harming your fetus if you drink any alcohol while
you are pregnant, the effects range from mild to severe. It is important to
have or find a doctor with whom you can talk openly about your alcohol drinking
habits during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor about any concerns you have
about your child being affected by
fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
Think about having your child evaluated for FASD if he or she:
The effects of alcohol on a fetus are more likely to be severe if you
drank heavily while you were pregnant. (This means having 5 or more drinks on one occasion.)
Severe problems caused by alcohol exposure are called
fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). If you have a history of
heavy drinking during pregnancy, a thorough developmental evaluation of your
baby should be done when he or she is about 18 months old. It should include hearing,
speech, and language testing.

On my travels to the four corners of the globe, I've noticed something very telling about the casual fashion choices White women make within different contexts. Yoga pants, as most of you know, have been staples of the White woman wardrobe for years. Basically, yoga pants are underwear, worn in public. Most styles are extremely tight, some have thigh cuts that are see-through, and all display the camel toe in its full glory, leaving little to the imagination. A few styles cut a crevice so deep in the ass cheeks you can just make out the rusty starfish.
So yoga pants are the striver class-approved slut outfit for SWPL women who want to flaunt their sexy bodies and then bitch about beta males, who have the gall to possess functioning libidos, ogling them. See, proles and SWPL ladies are more alike than not; their goals are the same, but they choose to achieve those goals via different pathways of expression.
Anyhow, to the chewy center bursting with Bartholin's flavor. In the blacker neighborhoods — the ones gentrifying but still menacing enough to put a pep in the step of Whites who venture out after 7pm or have to walk past throngs of friendly "teens" — you will rarely see White women in yoga pants. They are more conservatively dressed. Jeans are common. Leggings with a long-ish dress or skirt over them are also common. In the heat, shorts are tasteful; no underbutt. I'm talking about SWPL White women here; the ones with mid-paying jobs, sterling Women's Studies credentials, and big brains they drown in mimosa juice. I'm not talking about the mudshark dregs with the tattoos and needle marks.
In contrast, in the Whitest huetopias, the skin-tight, labia-compressing yoga pants are everywhere. Where da sluttily-dressed White women at? In White neighborhoods. What's going on here?
I have a thought. Striver White women soaked in a lifetime of feminist tankgrrl indoctrination dress to attract alpha males (while having to deal with the risk of sending the wrong advertising signal to beta males), and they dress to flaunt the power inherent in their number one asset (their figures, culminating to a point at the mons pubis). In White neighborhoods filled with hirsute hipster goons concealing weak jawlines, White women feel unrestricted freedom to flaunt their creases and cracks. This freedom makes them power-drunk, and they love the torment (or thought of it) that they can cause to erupt in the silent skullcases of fearful beta males ogling them from a safe distance.
In the blacker zones, this strategy doesn't work. Way too risky. Black-on-White women rape is epidemic (leftie White women know this even though they'd never admit it). A darkpool of dindu nuffins loitering on a street corner, veins coursing with the liberating elixir of low impulse control, will not let a yoga pants sloot, with looks that shame the mammoth black beasts the brothers are used to boffing, walk by unmolested. One thing blacks don't do: cast sidelong, shy glances from a distance while pretending not to notice the lingerie show strutting down the street. They will let a slutty White women know, in so many jungly hoots and howls, that her goods are the sheeeeiit, and they intend to sample them.
Naturally, there will be no White hipsters to white knight for her. And justifiably so. What noodle-arm would risk a five-on-one swarm because he stood up for the honor of some cunty careerist feminist White woman who thought it would be a good idea to display the contours of her vagina to the Congo line?
This, of course, scares feminist White women. Scares them enough that they shelve the yoga pants in favor of more modest attire when blacks are a significant part of the outdoors scenery. Then, in their spite and resentment and bitterness at having to concede the core reactor of their female power to a stronger force (naggers), they will go home and spew a river of Tumblrrhea about misogynist, racist White guys who oppress the POC.
One solution to this impasse: White beta males can start hitting on yoga panties and make them pay at least a small psychic cost for their skanky exhibitionism. The results of shifting White women's expectation bias are a positive development for White men: Either a more chaste White womanhood emerges that defers as obsequiously to White men as to Machete-Americans, or White betas start scoring more poon which boosts their confidence and swagger and thereby coaxes some respect from the SWPL White women who for now can only spare their respect for the urban orcs that forcefully extract it from them.

Investors have poured money into the Australian banking sector this year, recently driving the market capitalization of Commonwealth Bank of Australia to more than $100 billion.
Like Commonwealth Bank , Westpac Banking Corp. au and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group are also sitting on share price gains of more than 20% so far this year.
Investors in a yield-hungry world have bought into the sector for dividends. As well, the sector has earned a reputation for stability at a time when questions are being asked about the health of global peers. The banks also operate in a market where the local economy is growing relatively robustly and government debt is triple A rated.
With official cash rates having declined to 3% in Australia over the past six months, the prospects may be bright for mortgage lenders as lower rates can encourage borrowing. They could also lead to lower payments for consumers with mortgages, and support consumer spending.
Australia's banks have reduced their reliance on offshore funding over the past few years as well.
But Credit Suisse\'s Australian equity strategists recently turned less positive on the sector, downgrading it to underweight from neutral.
Valuation is one reason for the downgrade, as "banks are looking slightly expensive for a benign credit outlook," the strategists said.
More ominously, the strategists believe that the Reserve Bank of Australia "is now too far behind the curve to prevent a major slowdown in 2013."
The Australian banking sector looks even more expensive, the strategists said, "when we factor in the risk of a sharp [growth] slowdown and rising bad debts."
The broker's global equity strategy team recently pointed out that leverage for Australian households and corporations is already among the highest in the developed world, and private sector debt-to-gross domestic product exceeds levels seen in Spain and Portugal.
House prices could have a long way to fall in Australia, which is the fourth most expensive place in the world to buy a home, the strategists said, citing Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development figures.
At the same time, they believe the Australian currency a is around 60% overvalued. "If the Australian dollar were to fall, as we expect it to, this would help growth," they said.
But companies exposed to Australia, including banks, may not benefit from a currency drop as consumer purchasing power will likely fall, they believe.

Have we forgotten to look at things from our dog's perspective?
Sometimes I wonder how much we understand about dogs.
Our own dogs, dogs in the park, dogs on the street in communities where they roam, and just dogs in general. I was in my car, stopped at a stoplight in the city when I watched a person walk their small dog across the street on the green light.
On the other corner was another person with their dog.
Both people and dogs ended up on the same corner, inches from one another and neither of the owners let their dogs interact. Not one sniff, not one second of normal dog greeting allowed. It made me wonder if we aren't forgetting that dogs actually have…dog needs.
It would seem odd since we have been coexisting for 12,000 years or so but maybe we've forgotten to look at things from the dog's perspective.
From our side of things, dogs have been our partners for hunting, transporting of goods and food, as guides, guards, as sledders, sheep herders and companions. Maybe in all our uses of them, we've forgotten that the deal goes both ways. We too need to understand what they get from their relationship with us and what they need.
As I'm thinking about this, I have four dogs and a cat splayed out around me. I know why I have dogs and while I'm sure I don't meet all their doggy needs, I do recognize that they are….dogs. They love to chase things, they love to run, they bark, they bite, they love to roll in stinky things and eat really gross stuff, they communicate with other dogs in ways that I don't understand or want to partake in but I know make sense to them.
They comfort me when I'm sad and they make me laugh. They each have a distinct personality, a different need for exercise and sleep, and they all play a different role when a new foster dog comes through the door. But I never mistake them for being anything other than what they are…dogs, and that is why I enjoy them so much.
Four of our dogs are Northern Dogs and come from three different communities in which IFAW works. They each fulfill a different need that I apparently have…which is why I have four of them!
Each one has excellent dog skills, which doesn't mean they like every dog or that every dog likes them, it simply means they understand dog speak and respond to it in ways that make sense in their crowd.
Their good dog skills have nothing to do with me and all to do with their early life experiences. In the north, most of the dogs are free roaming. In fact, believe it or not, this is the way the majority of dogs actually live around the world.
"Free roaming" does not tell you anything about a dog's ownership status – a free roaming dog can easily have an owner. It doesn't mean the dog is not cared for –free roaming dogs can be owned by individuals or by multiple people who provide for them.
This is not to say that every free roaming dog receives adequate care, just like every contained dogs doesn't necessarily either. But free roaming dogs have that freedom, that ability to be dogs that many of our contained and heavily managed dogs don't.
I'm not advocating that our dogs be allowed to run free as they please. But when I think back to the two dogs who ended up on the same street corner without the ability to interact -- to be dogs -- I think our dogs would benefit from our spending a little more time thinking about their needs and of ways to meet them.
It's amazing how much you can learn from your dog!

Selena Gomez Shares Stunning No Makeup Selfie [PHOTO]
We can't even. Selena Gomez is unfairly stunning, whether she is painted with a full face of makeup or without a drop of cosmetics, like she was in this selfie that the singer and actress posted on Instagram, with soft brown waves falling around her face.
Gomez is a natural beauty who doesn't need to reply on makeup or products to look uh-maze, and this photo is evidence of that fact. While her makeup artists and her glam squad often does one heck of a job enhancing the wonderful canvas that they have to work with, seeing Gomez as God made her was truly refreshing and takes our breath away.
Go ahead, have a look for yourself. Gorgeous, right? Somewhere, Justin Bieber is taking a break from doing graffiti and kicking himself repeatedly over the fact that he let Sel go.

dog friendly rentals
Hello to all those reading this introduction. I am a 31 year old student at the craft college in downtown Fredericton. I am only part time right now giving myself a chance to get used to the school and Fredericton before I bring my dog back here so we can live together again. I am Canadian born, but have spent the past 15 years in the Milwaukee area.I am going to be visiting my family back in Milwaukee area in May and hope to come back to move into a dog friendly apartment/ home, so I can be with my best friend, my dog, Ruby. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh ya my name is Chris and I am open to suggestions. Cheers
Welcome to the board. What type of information are looking for help on?

Welcome to the boards!
Pet-Friendly Housing List for Milaukee area.
As far as homes go, you may have to ask individual landlords about that. If they say that your dog is allowed, get it in writing. That way it doesn't come back to bite you in the behind later.
I hope this helps!
I just re-read your post. You're looking for apartments in Fredericton, not Milaukee.
I've been looking - but listings on the net are few and far between. Your best bet is to contact individual rental companies and ask them directly.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the rules and enjoy your stay.
According to the Humane Society of the United States:
There are an estimated 3-4 million dogs and cats euthanized each year in the US alone! PLEASE - spay and/or neuter your pets!
Sorry I didn't realize that you were looking for a pet friendly apartment, should have read the title of your post again.
I live in fredericton, orginally from Saint john. when I moved here 3 years ago. I could not find an apartment that would allow me to have dogs. I lived in three different apartments in two years hopeing to find one that would allow me to have a dog. None would change their rules. Anyway I had to buy a house in order to get my dog to come to fredericton with me. I hope the rules of the apartment owners have changed, but I doubt it. Some may allow you to have small quiet ones. Good luck

AKC question
Hello everyone,
I have a question for all my pet loving friends.
I introduced myself about a week ago. I had just gotten my Shih Tzu pup we call him Baby . Boy has he grown this week and he eats very well.I still havent figured out how to make my photos of him appear here...But he is the cutest pup i ever seen.
We're doing great process with potty training him too. Gee, he is so smart!.
Anyhow, his Breeder gave him to me at barely 6 weeks of age. Told me not to say anything to nobody and she was gonna send me the AKC paper work to my house when she's got it.( He's got his 1st set of shots from us,was dewormed by her) Now the paperwork came,she called and said not to mail them of until the end of the month and she marked the Limited box on the competition/breeder info (wich i only noticed while looking over it,she didnt say anything). I'm kinda confused now. I didnt plan on breeding the pup but we looked forward to 1 Litter with one of my friends AKC dog also a Shih Tzu. We'd keep one of them and the other babies were gonna go to my Daughter and 2 other good friends i.e. Mother-in-Law ,if a litter is that many. ( I don't understand that she can decide what we can do with the puppy and not tell us about it when looking at her puppies when making the deposit.)
Then it would be time to go to the "clipping" center here at my wonderful local vet who neutered my other dog already.By the way, is there a best vet bulletin board?. Mine should be on there as outstanding and truely caring.
Can someone shed light on this situration ?
Of now to feeding and brushing and a walk.
Thank you
Shih Tzu mommy
Any breeder who sells 6 week old puppies is not ethical.
AKC/CKC registration means nothing and your puppy is no doubt NOT breeding quality. If you don't show your dog to a championship, don't breed.
If you are on a non-breeding contract, and breed the dog anyway without showing him, then you are not only a backyard breeder, but are breaking the contract and can be sued.
If you want to ask more questions or discuss this further, please start a new thread.

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak admitted earlier this week that it was "hard" to deal with the uncertainty surrounding his job status. That uncertainty could end Friday.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Titans CEO and president Tommy Smith is meeting with Mike Munchak on Friday in Houston. Smith met with general manager Ruston Webster on Tuesday and Thursday, and Munchak's job status remains very much up in the air. Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean first reported the Friday meeting with Smith.
Rapoport reports that Smith has already reached out to coaching candidates who could possibly replace Munchak, which is not a good sign. (And goes against normal hiring practices.)
One huge, pressing question left for Munchak: Will he listen to suggestions about staff changes? The status of Gregg Williams is one of the big issues. Internally, there is some belief that Williams, not Jerry Gray, should be defensive coordinator. Williams could earn a promotion. The staff has been kept in the dark about their status.
Rapoport noted earlier this week that Tennessee's decision-makers weren't pleased with how the Titans veered away from their run-heavy offense to throw the ball more down the stretch. Rapoport previously said that he "would be shocked" if offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains remains with the team. Munchak might have to go along with proposed staff changes in order to keep his job.

Courtesy Babson College Sports Information
BABSON PARK, Mass. - Senior forward Chase Lochmiller scored the game-winning goal with just 51 seconds remaining in the first overtime period to lead visiting MIT to a 1-0 triumph over Babson College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's soccer contest at Hartwell-Rogers Field on Saturday afternoon. It was the first league win of the year for the Engineers, who improved to 7-4-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the NEWMAC, while the Beavers, ranked fourth in New England by the NSCAA, dropped to 10-3-1 overall and 3-1-0 in the conference.
The victory served as a measure of revenge for the Cardinal and Gray, which dropped a pair of decisions to Babson last season - each by a similar 5-0 score-line - including a NEWMAC quarterfinal.
Both teams had strong scoring chances late in regulation, but neither could capitalize. Babson junior Tim Winn momentarily got behind the MIT defense with 19 minutes left in the session, but his quick turnaround shot just missed the upper right corner. Tech rookie Jason Zhu then broke free down the left side with just over two minutes remaining, but his curving shot sailed wide of the right post.
The Beavers had two great opportunities in the overtime period, with the first coming when freshman Harrison Heller's rocket from the left side of the box hit the crossbar and bounced out in the 92nd minute. Winn then hit a leaping shot from the middle of the box on a Harrison cross at the 94-minute mark, but his attempt sailed over the net.
Babson nearly netted the game-winner late in the first overtime, but Winn was whistled offside just before ripping a shot off the hands of diving junior goalie Tom Caldwell and in with just over a minute and a half on the clock. MIT would take advantage moments later, as the Engineers tallied the decisive score on their next rush up the field. Lochmiller gained control at midfield and dished off to junior Nitin Perumbeti, who fed the ball right back to him at the top of the Babson box. Lochmiller then cut back across a defender and ripped a shot from 18 yards out that found its way past lunging senior keeper Chris Necklas and into the lower right corner with less than a minute left in the stanza.
Caldwell finished with five saves in net for MIT, including an outstanding diving catch of a redirected shot by Fogarty just over nine minutes into the game. The shutout was the East Berlin, Pa., native's career-high fourth of the season, good for second in the NEWMAC, while it was also his ninth career shutout, equaling the second highest total in program history. Necklas also played well in goal for Babson, finishing with two saves.
The Engineers will return to the field next Saturday, Oct. 20, when they will play their fourth straight road game, at NEWMAC foe Springfield College. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. The Beavers will also be on the road for conference action next Saturday, as they will visit first-placed Wheaton College at 1:00 p.m.

In "Raising Dairy Cows, Part I," and "Raising Dairy Cows, Part II," I presented "ten commandments" to help you raise your own healthy backyard dairy cow. And now that the basic methods of feeding and caring for of Bossie have been explained, it's time to turn our attention to the task of safeguarding the "liquid assets" produced by the bovine boarder.
Cleanliness Is the Key
To insure that your homegrown dairy products are tasty and safe to eat and drink, you should follow several simple principles of milk handling. The first (and most important) rule is to make certain the liquid doesn't become contaminated after it leaves the mammary gland. The best way to assure this is to keep the milking equipment and building scrupulously clean.
[1] Maintain a spotless milking area. You might want to paint the enclosure white, so you'll be better able to see—and eliminate—fly specks or spots of fecal matter.
[2] Keep strong odors out of the milking and milk storage areas.
[3] Use only sanitized pans, strainers, and bottles.
[4] Don't give your dairy animal onions, silage, cabbage, moldy grains and hay, or any other feed that can impart an "off" flavor to the milk.
[5] Make certain the beast herself is clean. Keep the hair around and above the mammary gland clipped.
[6] Always scrub your hands before you set to work.
[7] Clean the udder prior to milking. Use a paper towel soaked in a disinfectant solution to wash off any mud and dirt, then throw that towel away. Next, clean each teat in a dip cup filled with fresh disinfectant solution. (The containers and cleaning liquids can be purchased from farm suppliers or feed stores.)
[8] Finally, be sure that the milk itself is clean. Always strip the first three or four streams into a black cup and swirl the liquid around to look for the small chunks or clumps that can indicate mastitis (an inflammation or infection of the mammary gland).
Keep a Ready Routine
There's more than one reason for washing your animals' udders carefully. Milk flow is brought on by the hormone oxytocin, the production of which is stimulated by massaging the udder and performing other premilking routines that the animal is accustomed to ... such as (noisily) scrubbing out the milk pail.
It'll take from 45 to 90 seconds after the stimulation begins to produce a milk flow, and the hormone's effect lasts only eight minutes. The milking process should thus be finished within little more than eight minutes after you wash Bossie's udder.
When you're done, dip each teat once again in fresh disinfectant. This procedure leaves a drop of solution at the end of the teat canal to help keep out infections.
Dairy animals must be milked at least twice a day, allowing about 12 hours between sessions. If you milked three times a day, you could likely increase production by 10 to 20%, but the additional labor and time involved would have to be weighed against the value of the extra milk.
More on Mastitis
Mastitis can occur in any dairy animal, including goats (contrary to what many doe owners believe). The disease is caused by a variety of organisms: bacteria, fungi, and possibly viruses. It can be triggered by something as seemingly inconsequential as a bump to the udder, which can lead to inflammation and eventual infection. Cuts, bruises, cold, dirt, or stress may also leave the udder vulnerable to the invasion of mastitis-causing micro-organisms.
On the other hand, proper milking techniques can help prevent the disease. The cleaner your cow's environment, the less chance there is of introducing mastitis-causing organisms into the udder. The last little teat dip in disinfectant—recommended above—will make it difficult for such "bugs" to enter.
Extra care in the selection of your critters will help prevent mastitis as well. A cow (or doe) with an udder that's carried tightly up against the flank (one with strong suspensory ligaments! will suffer a lot less udder banging and bruising than will an animal with a pendulous, low-slung bag. And the less trauma the udder endures, the less chance there will be for infection to occur.
The CMT and the SCC
Severe mastitis can be identified by clumps in the milk (actually fibrous masses of infection-fighting white blood cells) but evidence of milder cases isn't always visible. There's a simple examination, however—called the California mastitis test (CMT)—that helps bring any cells present together, to make them detectable in less advanced cases.
The CMT uses a white paddle-shaped device, which has attached cups, and a blue indicator liquid. A stream of milk from each teat is collected in a cup, after which a few drops of the indicator are added. The examiner simply swirls the two substances together, then tips the paddle slightly so that the milk slowly runs to one side. If white cells are present, they'll show up as clumps, easily seen against the blue color.
Another mastitis screening procedure is the somatic cell count (SCC). Performed by the Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA), the test provides a count of the somatic cells—white blood cells and epithelial cells, for example—present in the milk.
An excess of somatic cells in the milk might be an indication of mastitis. However, some epithelial cells are continually sloughed off into the milk produced by any animal, and the "normal" quantity will vary according to the stage of lactation and the age of the beast. Your herd's DHIA records should help you determine whether a critter's cell count is normal or too high.
A Check Program
Take the following steps to keep a close watch for mastitis in your dairy animals.
[1] Swirl the first few streams of milk around in a black cup every time you milk, to check for evident mastitis.
[2] Periodically use the California mastitis test to uncover any less obvious cases. (A general guideline would be to perform the CMT once a month for nonproblem herds, once a week for problem herds, and once a day for problem individuals.) If your DHIA records provide a somatic cell count, compare your cows to their norms. When an animal scores higher, you should assume that she's contracted the ailment.
[3] Once mastitis has been diagnosed, feel the animal's udder. If it's hot, call the vet immediately. Should the udder feel only normally warm, though, simply milk the cow out every two or three hours for a total of 72 hours. (Discard the milk or—in light cases—feed it to your pigs.) Many cases of mastitis can be cured without the use of antibiotics by merely emptying the udder as often as possible and letting Bossie's immune system work its own magic. (However, if the repeat CMT is still positive after three days, call your vet.)
You can increase disease resistance in the udder by giving all cows a two-month layoff between lactations. The vacation will give their milk-producing systems a chance to recuperate and regenerate.
Preparing the Milk for Consumption
You know, then, that your cow is udderly healthy ... and she's just given you a bucketful of fresh milk. What should you do to guarantee that the beverage will be fresh and tasty for the day's meals?
Well, once you've got the liquid into a bottle or pan, cool it—as rapidly as possible—to 40°F to insure a longer shelf life and a better flavor.
After chilling it, you may want to pasteurize the milk. This process will kill most of the disease-carrying bugs that could affect humans. There are two ways to go about the task. One is to heat the milk to 165°F for 20 seconds (actually, you just bring it to 165°F and then shut off the burner). The other is to warm the milk to 145°F and hold it at that temperature for 30 minutes. Be sure to use stainless steel pans and to stir the milk constantly with a stainless steel spoon while it's heating. (Copper, iron, or chipped enamel pots—and metal thermometers—may give the milk an "off" flavor.) When the time is up, quickly cool the liquid to 60°F, and store it at 40°F.
Pasteurization and animal testing have greatly reduced the incidence of brucellosis and tuberculosis in this country, but it's still wise to exercise caution. Whether you consume raw or pasteurized milk from your homestead animal, test the cow (or goat) annually for both diseases.
And That's Not All
Naturally, in order to keep your dairy cow producing milk on a regular cycle, it's necessary to breed her every year. In "Artificial Insemination in Cattle," I'll explain the method often used today to guarantee both new offspring and another year's supply of fresh, wholesome homegrown milk.

AAFP President-elect Jeffrey Cain, M.D., of Aurora, Colo., returned to Capitol Hill on Nov. 9 to continue pressing for a long-term Medicare payment solution and adequate funding for graduate medical education, or GME, programs during meetings with key congressional staff members.
AAFP President-elect Jeffrey Cain, M.D., recently visited Capitol Hill to press Congress for a long-term Medicare payment solution and adequate funding for graduate medical education.
Cain last visited Capitol Hill on Oct. 20 with several other AAFP leaders, including AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., AAFP Board Chair Roland Goertz, M.D., M.B.A., of Waco, Texas, and AAFP EVP Douglas Henley, M.D. The group met with a variety of congressional leaders and staff to push for a repeal of the SGR, a stable Medicare payment rate for a fixed number of years, and a higher payment rate for primary care physicians within that rate.
During this latest series of meetings, Cain met with a senior health care policy adviser for Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., who soon is expected to introduce a bill that calls for a repeal of the SGR. Cain reiterated the Academy's position on Medicare physician payment, which includes instituting a stable payment rate, an increase for primary care and repeal of the SGR.
"We have to make sure family physicians are paid a fair price for taking care of Medicare patients," Cain said in an interview with AAFP News Now.
Cain's Capitol Hill visits came as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, also known as the "supercommittee," continues to meet to develop a plan to achieve reductions in the federal deficit. If the government fails to enact the committee's recommendations by Dec. 23, across-the-board cuts totaling $1.2 trillion will be triggered automatically.
- AAFP President-elect Jeffrey Cain, M.D., recently made a follow-up visit to Capitol Hill to emphasize the AAFP's pursuit of a Medicare payment fix.
- Cain, who met with a variety of staff members of congressional representatives, reiterated the message spread by AAFP leaders last month: a repeal of the sustainable growth rate, a three-to-five year stable payment rate for Medicare, and within that rate, a higher rate for primary care physicians.
- Cain also stressed the importance of stable funding for graduate medical education programs, particularly for primary care residency programs.
Cain also met with a senior policy adviser to Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. The two discussed Medicare payment issues and the need to protect funding for GME programs as a way to sustain and strengthen family medicine residency programs. Hoyer is a member of the House Democratic leadership.
Cain said he described the SGR as "broken" during the meeting and noted that he hoped the Democratic leadership would encourage the bipartisan supercommittee to repeal the flawed payment formula as part of its final recommendations. Cain also discussed GME funding with the Hoyer aide, explaining that across-the-board reductions in GME would "disproportionately harm family medicine residency programs."
Both Congress and the Obama administration have proposed cuts in GME funding as part of deficit reduction proposals. Cain pointed out that although subspecialist residency programs generate income for teaching hospitals that receive GME funds, family medicine residency programs often are not recognized as generating revenue and, thus, may be eliminated if GME funds are reduced.
"Primary care residencies rely on GME funds to be able to keep their doors open," said Cain.
Cain also met with health care aides to Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa., about prescription drug abuse. Casey is co-sponsor of a bill introduced by Sen. John Rockefeller, D-W.Va., that would require physicians to undergo mandatory CME as a condition for prescribing certain drugs, such as opioids.
"We know that the diversion of (prescription) drugs involves a small number of physicians and a small number of patients," said Cain. "Requiring all physicians to undergo CME to prescribe targeted narcotics is taking a sledgehammer approach to a problem that would be better addressed with a scalpel."

The Comprehensive System of Personnel Development provisions of the Rehabilitation Act require that each state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency develop and implement plans for an effective and comprehensive approach to developing its human resources. The links below provide current information on CSPD:
Commissioner's Memorandum 98-12:
State Plans for Comprehensive Systems of Personnel Development: This document is the landmark statement that specified RSA expectations of state VR agencies with respect to the personnel standards for rehabilitation counselors employed by state VR agencies.
Practical Guide to CSPD:
This guide is a brief overview of CSPD requirements written in a direct, easy to read format. It also includes a "checklist" of CSPD requirements for use by state VR agencies.
CSPD: Common Questions and Answers:
This is the most complete treatment of issues, concerns and ideas on the subject available to consumers, administrators, educators, practitioners and researchers. It was developed by the Rehabilitation Training Work Group, which is composed of the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation (CSAVR), the National Council on Rehabilitation "Education (NCRE), the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC), the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) and RSA.
CSPD Training Grantees:
This page identifies and describes the RSA-funded training grants specifically intended to assist state vocational rehabilitation agencies train currently employed vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors to required degree standards. As such, these projects provide training only to currently employed vocational rehabilitation counselors, to help them meet state VR agency personnel standards required under the CSPD.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1872, Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the first African American literary figures to garner critical acclaim on a national scale. Although he lived just thirty-three years, Dunbar's contributions in a variety of genres left a legacy that would endure through the present day.
To honor Paul Laurence Dunbar's legacy and his connection to Dayton, Mr. William Shepard, the grandson of Dunbar's frequent patron, Dr. Henry Tobey, presented Dr. Tobey's nearly complete, inscribed collection of Dunbar's first edition books to Special Collections and Archives at Wright State University in 1975. In the spring of 1992, Wright State University's main library was renamed in honor of Paul Laurence Dunbar, recognizing not only his significant literary contributions but his importance to Dayton and his friendship with the Wright Brothers, for whom the university is named.
The recognition of Dunbar's legacy continues here, where Special Collections and Archives and the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library offer the opportunity to discover and explore the life and poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Established upon the occasion of the rededication of the Wright State University Library in 1992, the Digital Text Collection of a selected group of Dunbar's poetry is intended to encourage the use of and interest in the works of Dunbar.

Careers to Consider
Whether you've graduated or are in college, the job search is inevitable.
Elizabeth Hoyt
May 30, 2013
For students in college, the ultimate goal upon graduation is nearly always to land a great job. Whether you've graduated, are set to graduate or still in college, the job search is an inevitable reality.
As soon as you find yourself ready for the hunt, it's difficult to decide where to begin. The job market can be tricky and it's always helpful to have an idea about what types of jobs are both lucrative and available.
When you begin the search, here are some great options in the job market to consider, according to Salary.com, complete with median salary estimates.
1. Biomedical Engineer
Annual Salary: $49,804
Though it may not seem like the best salary from the start compared to other engineering positions, Biomedical Engineers tend to have a steady salary growth that's faster than most.
Plus, according to the Bureau of Labor's statistics, there's a likely 62 percent increase in positions for Biomedical Engineers. It certainly sounds like it's going to a bright future for those interested in medical research and innovation.
2. Chemical Engineer
Annual Salary: $64, 089
The beauty of being a Chemical Engineer is that they're needed around various industries. Translation: more opportunities for those in the field, across all fields.
3. Meeting/Event Assistant
Annual Salary: $44,189
For non-science minded folks, a Meeting/Event Assistant positioncan be quite enticing.
Though the salary is pretty average, applicants should consider that the field has numerous other perks like travel and rubbing elbows with higher-ups, which creates invaluable networking potential.
4. Pathology Assistant
Annual Salary: $72,263
Afraid of the morgue? You may get over your fears quicker than you can say "stable future."
Plus, being faced with post-mortem job tasks is only a small percentage of a Pathology Assistant's job description.
While specialized training and certification is necessary, the rewards make it worthwhile: think more money and more career stability.
5. Petroleum Geologist
Annual Salary: $79,307
Nearly $80k as a median salary? While money isn't everything, it sure makes a difference in daily life. Keep in mind, though, that the more advanced the degree, the more advanced the salary.
Additionally, the increasing opportunities within the oil industry make it a smart career choice, with ample job openings now and projected for the future.
6. Software Developer
Annual Salary: $57,916
Despite many companies outsourcing software development overseas, the Bureau of Labor's statistics predicts demand for develops will continue to rise through 2020 due to the an ever-increasing demand for the creation and support of computer programs.
Software Developers also have faster than average salary increases, in addition to a great starting salary. If you've got the technical skills, trying out a career in software development may just help you break bank in the future.
7. Ultrasound Technologist
Annual Salary: $65,339
Like any lucrative position, becoming an Ultrasound Technologist can require a small amount of hoop-jumping since the job requires a degree plus training and, perhaps, registering with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
For those that do qualify or decide to pursue a job within the field, the starting salary is certainly something to write home about. Not to mention amazing job security. There's a projected 44 percent increase in available job positions in the next eight years alone. In a tough economy, that's music to any applicant's ears.
Don't love these job position prospects? There are plenty more out there! Check out Monster as a resource for your job search!

The story that invented the contemporary invasion tale, and the episode that reinvented them. The Doctor cheerfully swanning off sans his companion, a weird trail of coverups leading back to a major tourist landmark (again, in Davies' case, but they hadn't tried this before with Hartnell) and two entirely different takes on what London's like and how it thinks about itself.
Aliens of London
|Tourist London
"Blue Peter"
Back then. It's nice to see Eccleston looking so cheerful.
(All right, this clip could have gone earlier, but this was the episode Matt Baker's talking about at the end, with the spaceship cake!)
"Torchwood - Exit Wounds"
Isn't it nice that in the middle of an emotive dual death scene in which two characters are coming to terms with their regrets and lack of commitment, that they take out a few seconds to clear up a point of continuity from another show?
Anyway, included here is the particular bit of dialogue that explains why computer geek Tosh was the one inspecting the space pig in this episode instead of actual Torchwood medic Owen Harper. Why it was her looking at it instead of someone from UNIT is...harder to explain.
"Fiji Mermaid"
That completely random one-liner about the Victorians manufacturing mermaids? Even odds this was what Davies had in mind when he wrote that. Although it wasn't the skull of a cat when P. T. Barnum did it (there's a longer and more informative link here.)
"Hutton Inquiry"
Via the US C-Span website, strangely enough. The whole forty-five seconds one-liner was a light-hearted gag about something a good deal messier and not at all pleasant for the BBC. So let's just note that one of the consequences of the BBC's coverage of the Iraq war was Michael Grade ending up as chairman.
You know, that Michael Grade. Fortunately ITV enticed him away a few years later. In light of Mark Gatiss' recent love letter to Television Centre, we might as well link to Grade's perspective that it's long past time the BBC junked the place and by the way, wouldn't an American James Bond be a good idea?
You can't make this stuff up.
David Bowie is really too apropos for either this write-up or the episode's soundtrack, but how can you resist?
The War Machines
|Swinging London
Further back then. Anything this awkward to move around a studio was never going to be quite as practical as a Dalek, but the War Machines still look good for all that.
"Rank Look at Life short - Eating High"
For a more factual take on the building around which the story revolves. Or, you know, just some gorgeous colour film of the restaurant (now sadly closed). The ending, with a shot of the lit tower at night, is simply begging to be used as an Ominous Shot in some skiffy film.
(There were a whole series of these short documentaries, made to accompany 'fifties and 'sixties films, and there is a rather useful list on Wiki if you fancy more in this vein.)
"Kitten Kong"
"The War Machines", fab as it is, doesn't quite claim priority for the single most memorable use of the Post Office Tower in British pop culture; that would be this episode of "The Goodies". The climatic shot of the kitten playing with it showed up in all their title sequences thereafter. Arguably also the single best episode of the Goodies as well (although the one with Patrick Troughton is great. As is the one with Jon Pertwee. As is the one about the cream mines and the bun fight at the O.K. tea rooms, but this is an inexhaustible vein.)
"Danger Man - Sabotage"
Writer Ian Stuart Black paired up with Jon Pertwee's brother to write a Danger Man episode for the other channel. Patrick McGoohan is being even more over the top and brashly humorous than usual, and Lyn Ashley would later go on to star as a Drahvin in "Galaxy Four" (to say nothing of Monty Python), so you can compare and contrast if you like.
"England - Germany 1966 World Cup"
"Yes, I get the football." And this is what happened the week after this story finished airing. The suggestions for that link direct you to the full two-hour viewing experience, so you can appreciate Kenneth Wolstenholme's most famous declaration in its full glory.
The sheer giddy triumphs possible regarding a sport where the entire country can pull together and root for their team are somewhat lost on Americans, seeing that most US teams are competing against each other. The Olympics have the closest flavour, but there's always a lot going on there and plenty of teams winning trophies, whereas the World Cup has hundreds of teams qualifying and only one winner at the end. To give some perspective, they've been doing these every four years since 1930 and England has won exactly once. This was it.

Jon Favreau and Famke Janssen star in this slick indie film about love, romance, and jealousy. Kate (Janssen) almost gets fired from her posh magazine job when she submits an overly graphic, overly personal article on oral sex. As she rewrites her piece, she reminisces on her past flames, particularly on her most serious relationship -- with Adam (Favreau), a fast-talking, very neurotic painter. The film traces their romance from their initial heady meeting, to moving in together, to an unexpected pregnancy, and the inevitable breakup because Adam felt trapped. Devastated by Adam's sudden defection, Kate goes on a dating spree and manages to drive him crazy by going out with handsome yet shallow video star Joey Santino (Josh Hopkins). Meanwhile, Adam grows increasingly obsessed with Kate's private life. This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

I began writing athayoganusasanam in January of 2011. I was brimming with excitement and inspiration. I had only been practicing Ashtanga for a few months and I was madly in love! I had recently moved back to my hometown with my new boyfriend. We lived in a beautiful (free!) apartment, a block away from the yoga shala. We had a tiny garden and were walking distance from just about everything we needed. My family lived close by and life was simple and easy. I didn't have enough work at first and so I started this little blog. It kept me busy and was a wonderful outlet for creativity and for self-reflection.
I had so much to share. I felt deeply compelled to write all the time…about my love of cooking, my travels, my life, my new career in the healing arts, and of course most of all, about yoga – my practice and my teaching of it.
In the course of these three full-to-bursting years, Lila blog has chronicled the span of my early 20s into my late 20s. From a boyfriend, to a fiance to a husband. From teaching eight yoga classes a week down to only one. From a massage therapist to a florist with a huge wedding at the center of it all. From finding a teacher to losing him. From injuring myself to healing myself. From one home in Charlottesville to another in Denver, with two epic trips to India in between, plus countless weeks and weekends gallavanting all around this big old country. And that's just the start of it!
Over these years, I have been surprised and thrilled by all the friendly support and enthusiastic readership. I've picked up a few blog sponsors along the way and contributed my writing to other venues as well. I also have occasionally received harsh criticisms and snarky comments, but that's the internet, eh?
But let me be honest with you, dear readers, for months now this blog has felt like a heavy ball and chain dragging behind me. I only feel the spark of inspiration to write once every few weeks, if that. And even if I have an idea (like the nine pieces unfinished in my "drafts"), I don't have the mental energy or time at the end of the workday to actually express my thoughts eloquently. Sigh…
I feel guilty that I don't write as regularly as I used to and that my pieces are often lacking in pizazz. I also feel bad that the amount of yoga-related content has decreased so much. Although I never intended this to be a blog solely about yoga, it was always the topic that drew in the most readers. I am still an Ashtangi and a Kundalini yogini through and through, but my interest in writing (and reading for that matter) on yoga has diminished to nil.
More than anything, I dislike the amount of time (much of it wasted) that I spend in front of this screen and how it consumes hours that could be much better spent outside, playing with my husband, my friends, and my dog.
Writing a blog has altered the way I experience my daily life in a way that makes me a bit queasy. Instead of processing an emotional challenge brought to light by my yoga practice, or being present enjoying a fun afternoon in the mountains, or cooking spontaneously with vegetable peels thrown pell-mell all over my kitchen counter, I funnel my experiences visually and mentally through the lens of this blog and through social media. I ponder, "Should I try to write down this recipe for a post?"… "Maybe I should have Thad photograph me doing this?"…"How could I write about this personal difficulty without over-sharing too much."… "What about my practice is inspiring/challenging right now and how can I turn this into something blog-worthy?"…. and on and on.
I want to live my life instead of blog about it. I want to just get on my mat every day and move through my practice without having to force it into being some profound teaching/learning experience. I want to spend my evenings sharing quality time with my loved ones instead of staring at a blank screen wondering what to write or how to attract more readers. I'm interested in being, living, creating, instead of documenting, analyzing and branding.
There are many wonderful bloggers out there, bloggers with so much more to share that I have right now. It's a huge lovely interweb-world of fancy videos and sleek web design and I'm simply not up for it. Chalk it up to insecurity, but I've often doubted myself in this whole game of blogging. See, I am not a health coach, or a master healer, or registered nutritionist or "life coach", I am not a celebri-yogi or a gifted photographer. I am simply a young woman on a journey.
We only have so much we can give and everything has its season. I guess you could say that I'm experiencing a predicament that all women face…I'm learning (with many bumps along the way) how to find balance in my home-work-family life. I'm discovering that difficult choices must be made in order to stay healthy and happy – questions regarding what to hold on to, what to nourish, what to simply put up with and what to release.
Managing a household, working five days a week, grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking healthy meals every day, caring for a pet, loving and supporting my husband while he is in school full-time, nurturing friendships and creative pursuits, writing this blog, dreaming up a new business to launch this year, all on top of a daily hour and a half yoga practice….well, it's a lot to juggle!
Somedays this balancing act is harder than others, but I know, in my heart of hearts, that I will not/can not disregard my own self-care or sacrifice the activities that bring me joy in my attempts to "do it all". And so, with this acknowledgement, I've had to make a choice about what can stay and what has to go.
After much deliberation and reflection, I am announcing today the closing of Lila blog. I write "The End" with a question mark because I know that nothing is permanent and I certainly do not know what the future will bring. But for now, I will not be writing any more on this platform. I plan to keep the site active online so that past posts are available for readers. The Facebook and Twitter accounts for Lila will be shut down in a few days.
I am not disappearing from the internet all together though. You can still find me on Instagram and on Pinterest. And who knows? Maybe I'll be back at it again on Lila in a six months or a year. Or perhaps I'll start a new blog with a whole new focus, maybe something more oriented in my field of business, floral design and styling.
But today, my dear readers, I bid adieu and offer my sincerest gratitude to you and to my gracious sponsors.
Thank you for your readership, your comments, your emails, your friendship and your presence.
The only thing that has kept this little bloggy going for so long has been you.
With oh so much love and many blessings,

The Guggenheim Museum in New York was inaugurated in 1959, a very controversial event at the time due to its design. The round building was completely different from anything else seen in the city then. Today, the Guggenheim in New York is one of the most significant museums in the world - for its location, unique architecture, art collection and much more.
The collection was compiled by Solomon R. Guggenheim and assisted by his art advisor, Hilla Rebay. He also founded the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation to increase the appreciation of modern art. This allowed his work to continue after his death. The Guggenheim in New York was the first in a series of museums by the same name. There are now 4 more Guggenheims around the world: in Venice, Bilbao, Berlin and Abu Dhabi. However, only the New York museum exudes the rich history of this very special group of museums.
The organic lines of the museum contrast greatly with the rectangular skyscrapers of Fifth Avenue. Its distinct round shape has earned the building the nickname 'tea cup'. American architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building in 1943. Wright was not a fan of Manhattan and wanted to create peace and spaciousness with his museum. One of his techniques was to double the width of the sidewalk in front of the building. Year-round, people sit on the low wall in front of the museum to eat their lunch. The museum was Wright's crowning glory, but unfortunately he never saw his project completed as he died 6 months before its inauguration in 1959.
The Guggenheim is not only striking on the outside but also on the inside. Everything is round and visitors walk from top to bottom through a spiral-shaped floor plan to view the artwork - truly unique! However the building harbours more clever design features: the ceiling of the entrance was made deliberately low. This makes the spiral-shaped part of the museum (with skylight in the roof) seem larger and higher than it actually is. An optical illusion.
The Guggenheim collection is an impressive collection of masterpieces. It includes the world's largest collection of works by Russian artist Kandinsky, with almost 100 paintings and 60 works on paper. Many works in the Guggenheim have been donated. In 1976, Justin K. Thannhauser, one of the largest collectors of modern art, bequeathed masterpieces by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and many others to the museum.
It is no coincidence that the Guggenheim - with its organic form - was built so close to a park. The architect carefully planned his design to ensure that the museum would fit into the surrounding natural environment. The building is a museum piece in its own right. After a museum visit, walk over to nearby Central Park and take a stroll around the reservoir.

Filipina from San Carlos City heads famous country rock band in U.S.
SAN CARLOS CITY, Pangasinan — A Filipina from San Carlos City is now making waves as a song writer, singer and head of a famous country rock band under her name called "Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel" in Chicago, USA.
In fact, the band bearing the name of the San Carlos lass was described by Greg Kof, a columnist of the Chicago Tribune, as "one of Chicago's most treasured voices".
Ms. Fermin was only a year old when her parents Renato and Nida Peralta- Fermin immigrated to the U.S. Her family settled and laid their roots in America's dairy land at Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Although she studied classical piano and violin and performed in choirs throughout her childhood and adolescence, it wasn't after her graduation from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1993 that she wrote her first song.
She set aside her profession as a graphic designer and embarked on a career closest to her heart—singing and song writing.

SKECHERS USA, Inc. today announced that the Company's second commercial airing Super Bowl weekend will feature two of the greatest 49ers players to ever grace the gridiron: Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana and Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott. Premiering Saturday, February 2 on ESPN2's College All-Star Challenge, and again on Super Bowl Sunday with an abbreviated spot during the second quarter, the Skechers Relaxed Fit commercial uses humor to showcase how Montana stays cool under pressure wearing Relaxed Fit footwear.
Launching the day before the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII, the new commercial will reunite the legendary Hall of Famers on-screen in a humorous spot that highlights Relaxed Fit's memory foam footbed, roomier fit and instant comfort.
The new spot is the latest in a series of Relaxed Fit ads that star America's sports icons; previous commercials have featured Montana, legendary Hall of Fame Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda, and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. A natural extension of relaxed fit jeans, Relaxed Fit footwear has become one of SKECHERS' most successful men's footwear collections and will soon expand into women's footwear.
SKECHERS will also debut a commercial during the second quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl for the Company's new performance running shoes, Skechers GOrun 2.

Against a backdrop of beautiful gardens and sunshine, I was honored to be welcomed by both Deputy Prime Minister Tonio Borg and Minister of Finance, Economy, and Investment Tonio Fenech when I arrived in Malta last week. I made the journey to discuss possible areas of cooperation between Malta and the United States with a view to commercial activity in North Africa, especially Libya.
Minister Fenech explained that, over the years, Malta has built an important relationship with Libya that cuts across all sectors. I learned the security situation in Libya continues to improve, and that investment and development opportunities exist. Both the U.S. and Maltese governments hope to build on this meeting to develop Malta's potential as a commercial engagement hub for North Africa.
Minister Fenech described the visit as the foundation stone for a Maltese-American political and economic partnership to facilitate coordination between our countries' firms on large projects in North Africa. Malta's unique geography, history, and commercial know-how provide a stable investment bridge into the region.
Moreover, Malta Enterprise, the government agency responsible for the promotion of foreign investment and industrial development in Malta, has already started bridging relationships between Maltese and U.S. firms in this regard. More information about Malta Enterprise can be found on their website.
I look forward to working on this exciting new adventure to promote economic growth and development in North Africa.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ L. Hariton,
"I learned the security situation in Libya continues to improve,..."
Well, when I read the details of this incident, I thought maybe someone was trying to possibly "re-educate" your learning, and then I was reminded of how our own Congress was run out of town after the revolutionary war, due to issues surrounding non-payment to the continental army that had just secured the nation's freedom from the British crown.
I think folks @ State need to do some serious outreach to help the interim gov. disburse whatever funds and ongoing medical assistance we've offered to address this issue previously, and make this work currently.
Otherwise Libya is going to continue to be a hard place to do buisiness in.

About bankruptcy & debt Laws
The primary law dealing with the subject of bankruptcy and debt laws is the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) is a substitution to separated legal framework and a split institutional set-up which was kept on passing on poor outcomes for a significant long time loan bosses and troubled business searching for an exit. This will profit everybody loan bosses, troubled business, economy and the estimation of the assets will be expanded. The manner by which the law is starting at now being realized seems to focus more on fast operationalisation. It has presented the time bound determination process which is the 180-day course of events talks profoundly about the point of the IBC – fast assurance of insolvency to help with the recuperation as to win in the economy where there is more capability about the recuperation system and expanding the estimation of assets of bothered business. Since the IBC accommodates a period bound system, it puts gigantic weight on the promoters as wells as the lenders to quick track a trade off recipe or risk the asset being liquidated.
Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding involving a person or business that is unable to repay outstanding debts. Some of the distinguishing elements of the code are-
- Comprehensive law – this code is a comprehensive law which envisages and regulates the process of insolvency and bankruptcy of all persons including corporates, partnerships, LLP's and individuals.
- Withering away of Multiplicity of Laws – Code withered away multiple laws covering the recovery of debts and insolvency and liquidation process and presents singular platform for all the reliefs relating to recovery of debts and insolvency.
- Clarity in Process- there is a clear and unambiguous process to be followed by all stakeholders. There is also shift of control from shareholders and promoters to creditors.
- New Regulatory Authority- it provides for constitution of a new regulatory authority, 'Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India' to regulate professionals, agencies and information utilities engaged in resolution of insolvencies of companies, partnership firms and individuals.
The Code plots a bankruptcy assurance handle for individuals, associations and affiliation firms. As showed by the Section 6 of the code it is communicated that the method may be begun by either the corporate record holder or the financial lenders and operational advance managers. The most extraordinary time limit of 180 days and 90 days increase just if the Adjudicating Authority is persuaded for realization of the very system, has been set for corporates and individuals.
There are two types of tribunals. For Companies and Limited Liability Partnership Firms there is The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and for people and associations there is the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).
