UAE economic freedom: How others see it?
Dubai Chamber is following closely what is written by economic organizations on UAE economy. This article reviews the 2008 Index of Economic Freedom (IEF), which is produced by Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal. The views in this article are those of producers of IEF and not those of Dubai Chamber.
The 2008 IEF covers 162 countries across 10 specific freedoms. Economic freedom is measured by 10 specific freedoms, which are averaged equally into a total score. Each one of the 10 freedoms is graded using a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 represents the maximum freedom. A score of 100 signifies an economic environment or set of policies that is most conducive to economic freedom. The IEF ten component freedoms are: Business Freedom, Trade Freedom, Fiscal Freedom, Government Size, Monetary Freedom, Investment Freedom, Financial Freedom, Property rights, Freedom from Corruption, and Labor Freedom.
According to the 2008 IEF, the UAE economy is 62.8 percent free, which makes it the world's 63rd freest economy. The UAE is ranked 7th out of 17 countries in the Middle East/North Africa region, and its overall score is higher than the regional average. The UAE scores above the world average in fiscal freedom, labor freedom, freedom from corruption, government size, and trade freedom. Figure 1 shows the ranking of these freedoms and they are detailed below.
The overall freedom to start, operate, and close a business is limited by the UAE's regulatory environment. Starting a business takes an average of 62 days, compared to the world average of 43 days. The minimum capital requirement to launch a business is costly. Obtaining a business license takes less than the world average of 234 days. Bankruptcy proceedings are lengthy and cumbersome.
The weighted average tariff rate in the UAE was 4.8 percent in 2005. Import restrictions, service market access barriers, non-transparent standards, sanitary and phytosanitary regulations, and inconsistent government procurement add to the cost of trade; only firms with a trade license may engage in importation; and only majority-owned UAE firms may obtain such a license (except for goods imported into free zones). An additional 10 percentage points is deducted from the UAE's trade freedom score to account for non-tariff barriers.
The UAE has no income tax and no federal-level corporate tax, but there are different corporate tax rates in some emirates (for example, corporate tax rates of 55 percent for foreign oil companies and 20 percent for foreign banks). There is no value-added tax or general sales tax. In the most recent years, overall tax revenue as a percentage of GDP was 2.1 percent.
Total government expenditures, including consumption and transfer payments, are moderate. In the most recent years, government spending equalled 25.7 percent of GDP. The state remains significantly involved in the economy through regulation and state-owned enterprises.
Inflation is high, averaging 9.1 percent between 2004 and 2006. Relatively unstable prices explain most of the monetary freedom score. The government influences prices through regulation, subsidies, and numerous state-owned enterprises and utilities, including oil, gas, electricity, and telecommunications. An additional 10 percentage points is deducted from the UAE's monetary freedom score to account for policies that distort domestic prices.
Foreign investors do not receive national treatment. Except for companies in the free zones, at least 51 percent of a business must be owned by a UAE national. Distribution of goods must be through an Emirati partner, although "liberalized goods" may be imported without the agent's approval. There are no controls or requirements on current transfers, access to foreign exchange, or repatriation of profits.
Financial supervision has been strengthened. There are 21 Emirati banks (some with federal or local government ownership), 25 foreign bank entities, two investment banks, and about 50 representative bank offices. Six major banks account for 70 percent of assets. Rising oil revenues have improved the health of the financial sector. Domestic banks offer a full range of services. Islamic banking systems are increasingly prominent. The central bank, under WTO mandates, has announced that it will issue licenses for new foreign bank branches, not issued since the mid- 1980s. There is a 20 percent tax on foreign bank profits. The government has also announced that it will reopen the insurance sector, closed to new foreign entries since 1989. Capital markets are relatively developed. The two stock markets are open to foreign investment, but foreign ownership of listed companies is limited to 49 percent, and some companies prohibit foreign ownership.
All land in Abu Dhabi, largest of the seven emirates, is government-owned. Mortgages have been introduced for select Dubai-based five-star property developments and are otherwise generally unavailable. The UAE leads the region in protecting intellectual property rights.
The UAE ranks 31st out of 163 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for 2006. The government has established special anti-corruption sections to investigate and prosecute violators in cases such bribery, nepotism, embezzlement, and abuse of power.
Relatively flexible employment regulations could be further improved to enhance overall productivity growth and job creation. The non-salary cost of employing a worker is moderate, but dismissing a redundant employee is relatively costly. Regulations related to the number of work hours are not flexible. There is no minimum wage.
In conclusion, the UAE government needs to work more to improve the weakest freedoms and these are namely investment freedom, financial freedom, property rights and business freedom.

Event Technical Committee approves replacement in Pakistan's squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
Rahat Ali will replace an injured Junaid Khan
Rahat Ali played his only ODI against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in June 2012.
The ICC has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 has approved Rahat Ali as a replacement player for Junaid Khan in Pakistan's squad for the tournament, which starts on 14 February.
Junaid is suffering from a hamstring injury he sustained in a training camp for the two-ODI tour of New Zealand and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 last month.
The 26-year-old Rahat played his only ODI against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in June 2012, but has taken 31 wickets in 11 Tests.
Any injury or illness-based replacement requires a written submission to the Event Technical Committee along with a diagnosis from a medical practitioner as to the extent of the injury or illness. Once replaced, a player may not return to the squad save as an approved subsequent replacement for another injured or ill player.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 is Geoff Allardice (ICC General Manager – Cricket, Chairman), Campbell Jamieson (ICC General Manager – Commercial), John Harnden (Chief Executive, CWC 2015 LOC), Gavin Larsen (Cricket Operations Manager, New Zealand), Russel Arnold and Sanjay Manjrekar (independent nominees).
Pakistan is in Pool B of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 along with defending champion India, former winner the West Indies, African rivals South Africa and Zimbabwe, and qualifiers Ireland and United Arab Emirates (UAE). Pakistan will play its opening match against India at the Adelaide Oval on 15 February.

This report describes the typical weather at the Poznan-Lawica Airport (Poznan, Poland) weather station over the course of an average May. It is based on the historical records from 1974 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Poznan has a humid continental climate with warm summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by croplands (95%) and grasslands (3%).
The month of May is characterized by rising daily high temperatures, with daily highs increasing from 62°F to 69°F over the course of the month, exceeding 81°F or dropping below 50°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of May, the length of the day is increasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day increases by 1:29 hours, implying an average day-over-day increase of 2.9 minutes.
The shortest day of the month is May 1 with 14:59 hours of daylight; the longest day is May 31 with 16:27 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 4:37am on May 31; the latest sunset is at 9:04pm on May 31; the latest sunrise is at 5:21am on May 1; the earliest sunset is at 8:20pm on May 1.
Daylight savings time is observed in 2012 but it neither starts nor ends in May, so the entire month is in daylight time.
The median cloud cover is 61% (partly cloudy) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On May 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 31% of the time, partly cloudy 23% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 32% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 53%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout May, the most common forms of precipitation are moderate rain, thunderstorms, and light rain.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 54% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around May 25, when it is observed during 29% of all days.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 23% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around May 31, when it is observed during 15% of all days.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 17% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around May 1, when it is observed during 10% of all days.
The likelihood of snow falling is highest around May 1, occurring in 4% of days.
Either snow rarely accumulates at this location in May or snow depth measurements are unavailable or unreliable.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 44% (comfortable) to 92% (very humid) over the course of a typical May, rarely dropping below 27% (dry) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around May 1, at which time the relative humidity drops below 53% (mildly humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around May 22, rising above 88% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical May, the dew point typically varies from 35°F (dry) to 53°F (very comfortable) and is rarely below 25°F (dry) or above 61°F (comfortable).
Over the course of May typical wind speeds vary from 2 mph to 14 mph (light air to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 19 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 8 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around May 1, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 14 mph (moderate breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 7 mph (light breeze) occurs around May 23, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 13 mph (moderate breeze).

Eliminating the Confusion about CRM Software
The term "CRM software" is tossed around a lot in the business world, but that certainly does not mean that everyone understands what it is. In fact, you may be surprised how many people spew it from their mouth, simply because they heard someone else say, and thought it sounded important. "CRM" is simply an acronym for Customer Relationship Management. Simply put, this is a system instilled to manage the client database of a business, and what easier way to achieve this than by using special software designed just for this purpose?
How CRM Software Works
It may seem intimidating to get started with CRM software, but you will find that it is a lot easier to use than you think, especially if you use Commence. When a new client is entered into the system, the software allows you to keep a record of all interaction that takes place with them. This eliminates any confusion as to whether a bill was paid or a concern was resolved.
If you have ever had to repeat yourself to several people because your call was transferred or no one you had spoken with on any of your previous calls made any notes, you will appreciate just how thoughtful this software is. When choosing CRM, you want to make sure that it is easy to use, but it should also offer the flexibility to grow with your business.

The New BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive
Luxury Touring Par Excellence Woodcliff Lake, NJ November 20, 2013 The BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive takes two-wheeled travel to a whole new level with a 118 kW (160 hp) in-line six-cylinder engine that melds superlative power, stylish design and superb standards of equipment and comfort. Leading the BMW Motorrad tourer range, the Exclusive model already lays claim to class-beating specifications as standard equipment central locking with anti-theft alarm system and ESA II (electronic suspension adjustment) for an optimum spring/damper setup regardless of load. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) enhances safety when accelerating, while the innovative new Hill Start Control feature takes all the hard work out of pulling away uphill, even when carrying a passenger and full luggage. Plus, like all BMW motorcycles, the K 1600 GTL Exclusive comes equipped with BMW Motorrad ABS as standard. The film antenna for the radio that is embedded in the topcase lid is a world first and ensures the best possible reception quality without sacrificing the bikes appearance. Long-distance travel comfort for the pillion passenger is taken to greater heights by a new seat, a heated backrest and comfortable armrests. Also found on the list of standard equipment: LED auxiliary headlights, adaptive xenon headlight, Tire Pressure Monitor, additional brake light, engine protection bar, floor lighting, as well as LED daytime running light and, for the first time on a BMW motorcycle, Keyless Ride. The styling of the Exclusive model also spells pure luxury from the fuel tanks aluminum molding and fully chromed exhaust system to the new-look instrumentation. The color scheme for the new K 1600 GTL Exclusive adds to the sense of elegance and aesthetic appeal. The bodyworks four-coat paint finish in Mineral white metallic high gloss complements the striking chrome surfaces, contrasting shade of Magnesium metallic matt and the Glacier silver metallic radiator . The color-coordinated seat cushion upholstery, backrest and pillion passenger armrests add the perfect finishing touch. Highlights of the new BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive:
Technology and design. The new BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive luxury touring with six-cylinder power and impressive specification. Safety, superlative equipment, comfort and dynamic power are must-have qualities for a touring bike of the highest caliber. BMW Motorrad already redefined those standards with the introduction of the K 1600 GTL in 2010. Boasting the most compact in-line six-cylinder unit to be fitted on a standard production bike, the K 1600 GTL took riding characteristics, long-distance capabilities and comfort to a whole new dimension, fusing supreme agility and handling dynamics with a luxurious all-round package. BMW Motorrad is now upping the ante again with the new K 1600 GTL Exclusive, which combines the exceptional travel and touring qualities of the K 1600 GTL with equipment features and comfort of the very highest order to position itself at the pinnacle of the BMW Motorrad tourer line-up. Like its predecessor, the new K 1600 GTL Exclusive is powered by the sensational six-in-line engine, which ensures effortless response under all conditions with its output of 118 kW (160 hp), peak torque of 175 Newton metres (129 lb-ft) and exceptionally smooth running. The new K 1600 GTL Exclusive lives up to riders expectations of an outstanding touring motorcycle, offering luxurious comfort , an extensive list of innovative standard features, and top-shelf styling. New instrumentation dials and sophisticated chrome surfaces. The instrument cluster and area in the drivers immediate field of vision deliver a distinctively upmarket feel. The clusters dials now feature brand new scales in the form of indirectly illuminated light boxes. This novel technology, unique to BMW Motorrad and the rest of the industry, is more aesthetically pleasing and improves visibility on both daytime and night-time rides. The chrome edging surrounding the four speakers lends a sophisticated styling touch to the riders exclusive workstation. The chromed finish on other elements, such as the headlight interior, the entire exhaust system with its remodelled plating around the catalytic converter, the mirrors, the brake fluid reservoir and the engine protection bar, adds to the new K 1600 GTL Exclusives refined styling. Enlarged seat area, armrests and new heated backrest to offer pillion passengers the best possible comfort. Passengers are seated more comfortably than ever on the new BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive. The pillion seat has been widened and lengthened at the rear. The standard armrests are complemented by a backrest that has been extended up to the lower topcase area and features a heated upper section. All of these features offer riding companions maximum comfort over long distances and add up to undiluted touring pleasure. Keyless Ride and central locking to maximize ease of use and security. For the first time on a BMW motorcycle, the conventional ignition/steering lock has been replaced by the Keyless Ride system, eliminating the need to use a key in the normal fashion. Instead, the steering lock, ignition, fuel filler flap and central locking are all controlled by a transponder integrated into the key, allowing riders to keep their key where it belongs in their pocket. When the key is within the vehicles reception range ( < 6.5 ft.) and has been successfully authenticated, the steering lock can be released with a brief press of the pushbutton control. The steering is locked again by holding the pushbutton down and turning the handlebars to the full lock position. The ignition is activated by briefly pressing the pushbutton control or by holding it down after releasing the steering lock. The ignition is switched off by a brief or prolonged press of the pushbutton. The pushbutton control also unlocks the fuel filler flap electrically. To open, just lift up the fuel filler flap. Once refuelling is complete, the fuel filler flap can simply be pressed back into place. The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically with the ignition switched off and the steering locked as soon as the key moves out of range. It is also possible to activate the anti-theft alarm system manually. The new BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusives central locking system also controls cases and storage compartments. Unlocking is triggered automatically when the ignition is activated or by manually using the keys remote control or the pushbutton on the handlebar. Locking is activated manually in similar fashion with the remote control or the pushbutton. In addition to the Keyless Ride transponder and the control buttons for the central locking and the anti-theft alarm system, the smartly designed key includes a fold-out key bit, which allows all locks on the bike to be operated manually in the conventional way, if necessary. Hill Start Control for comfortably pulling away uphill with ease. The K 1600 GTL Exclusive is BMW Motorrads first model with an in-line engine to feature the new Hill Start Control function, which allows riders to effortlessly remain stopped on uphill slopes with the engine running without having to keep the brake lever pressed. This BMW first makes it far easier to perform hill starts and is a particularly valuable aid on a fully laden tourer. Thanks to the partially integral ABS braking system, the rear brake can be operated individually for this purpose. It allows pressure to build up in the rear wheels hydraulic brake unit when the Hill Start Control is activated and hold the motorcycle steady on an incline. The Hill Start Control is purely a convenience feature that is designed to facilitate stopping and starting on a hill and is separate from a parking brake. It is activated by squeezing the hand-operated brake lever tightly, triggering a stop symbol in the display. The system is deactivated by either pressing the brake lever again or pulling away in first or second gear. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) to maximize safety when accelerating. The K 1600 GTL Exclusive is equipped as standard with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). This is a key factor contributing to the bikes superlative handling and safety. The DTC traction control proves to be a particularly valuable rider aid during fluctuating operating conditions, road conditions with poor grip or sudden changes in road surfaces. Integral film antenna for optimum radio reception and exclusive styling. The new K 1600 GTL Exclusives radio film antenna is another world-first for BMW Motorrad. Never before has a motorcycles conventional rod antenna been successfully replaced with a film antenna without sacrificing reception quality. The new film antenna has been installed discreetly between the inner lining of the topcase lid and the painted outer shell, where it ensures reception quality that is on a par with a rod antenna. This also enhances the visual appearance of the K 1600 GTL Exclusive, as the film antenna blends with the overall styling and gives the machine a distinctly uniform, contemporary look. Adaptive xenon headlight, LED auxiliary headlights and floor lighting. As one of the most advanced motorcycles of its time, the new K 1600 GTL Exclusive goes to great lengths to ensure that riders can both see and be seen as clearly as possible. The new K 1600 GTL Exclusive is equipped with an adaptive xenon headlight. In addition to the pitch leveling that takes place during braking and acceleration, the low beam adjusts to compensate for the lean angle of the motorcycle. Together, the two compensatory movements direct the beam of light into the bend, following the road ahead. This results in vastly improved road illumination and active riding safety. For greater visibility when riding in adverse weather conditions, the K 1600 GTL Exclusive is fitted with LED auxiliary headlights at the sides below the fairing. Topping the list of lighting features is an additional brake light integrated into the topcase, as well as floor lighting that stays on for a period when the remote control central locking is activated and after dismounting. ESA II electronic suspension adjustment for optimum adaptation to all operating requirements and vehicle loads. The new K 1600 GTL Exclusive comes standard with the benefits of the highly sophisticated Electronic Suspension Adjustment II (ESA II) system. This system allows the rider to adjust not only the rebound damping for the front and rear spring struts and the spring preload of the rear spring strut, but also the struts spring rate and therefore the firmness of the springs at the press of a button. The result is outstanding stability and impressive response regardless of the load. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) with gradient monitoring. The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) employs a remarkably lightweight and compact receiver control unit and special wheel sensors to keep a close eye on the tire pressure. In addition to the tire pressure warning threshold, the system is also capable of gradient monitoring. This means, for example, that a sudden loss of pressure will also trigger a warning before the critical threshold is reached, further enhancing safety. Colors. Exclusive composition of colors and surfaces. The new K 1600 GTL Exclusive exudes a stylish, elegant and exclusive personality thanks to its numerous chrome details and artfully inspired color palette. The Mineral white metallic high gloss paint finish that is applied to the bodywork in four coats lends this motorcycle a tremendous sense of class and distinction. The harmonious blend of the main body color with the subtle contrasting shade of Magnesium metallic matt creates an appearance that is brimming with both poise and elegance. Together with the Glacier silver metallic radiator shroud and the Magnesium silver upholstery on the seat cushions, backrest and pillion passenger armrests, the K 1600 GTL Exclusive will certainly turn heads. Equipment range. Options and accessories. Although the BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive comes comprehensively equipped as standard, a range of optional equipment and special accessories is available for further customization. Factory Options are integrated into the production process. Accessories are retrofit items that can be added by BMW Motorrad dealers or customers themselves. Options.

Exclusive! Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Are Fighting Constantly!
Their long-distance relationship is getting rocky.
-Jane Farrell
Kristen Stewart, who's never been too friendly to the media, blew up at photographers in Australia because of her stressful relationship with Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, a source told BettyConfidential.
"Rob and Kristen's relationship was going fine," said the source. "But now that their movie careers have taken off in different directions and different countries. It's taking a toll on their relationship. It's not easy to be apart like that and maintain a close relationship. It's strenuous."
At one point, Kristen came out on her hotel balcony and gave photographers the finger.
She was in Australia for a hectic promotional appearance with Taylor Lautner. Rob has been shooting a movie in London, and Kristen was clearly missing him.
Read Kristen Stewart: "My Life is Very Good"
Says the source, "They only get to talk by phone, and nine out of ten times one of them is interrupted. It's hard to have a full conversation. Issues get put off – even just small talk gets put off. They can never finish a conversation unless it's the end of the day and even then they're too tired to talk."
"Their last conversation before Kristen headed to Australia was an argument, and she couldn't get a hold of Rob when she landed in Sydney, so she's left hanging again. And, when the paparazzi started harassing her and following her, she lost it. She's never thrilled with the photographers taking her picture, but this time she was really in a bad mood." Taylor took Kristen out for a jet boat ride on the Sydney Harbour to cool her down, which helped, says the source, But when she saw photographers waiting for her at the dock, she blew up again."
Now, Rob's back in the States—but Kristen is still traveling.

International News Stigma Hampers Afghan Fight Against AIDSFebruary 14, 2011 Afghanistan officially has 636 cases of HIV and AIDS in a population of roughly 30 million. Health experts say the real figure is far higher, and growing. "Most UN agencies would say the number is in the thousands rather than the hundreds," said Olivier Vandecasteele of the humanitarian group Medecins Du Monde, which began providing antiretroviral treatment in Kabul in 2009. Yet, alongside an almost decade-long war, desperate poverty and a government dependent on military and financial aid to reach beyond its cities, the fight against HIV/AIDS struggles to compete for resources. Most funding comes from foreign donors, such as the World Bank, which has spent $10 million over the past three years to combat HIV/AIDS in the country. Studies suggest Afghanistan has a "concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemic" within a growing population of injection drug users (IDUs). Afghanistan provides 90 percent of the global supply of heroin and has around 1 million drug users. Of these, an estimated 20,000 are IDUs, with 80 percent of them sharing needles under squalid conditions. Health experts struggle to convince government officials overseeing prisons or counter-narcotics efforts to distribute condoms or clean needles. And studies suggest Afghan sex workers know little about HIV, rarely use condoms, and are unlikely to be tested for the disease. "You know about the customs and culture of our country," said Dr. Tariq Suliman, director of the Nejat Center for drug rehabilitation and HIV/AIDS awareness. "The people aren't ready to talk about this issue." Reuters 02.09.2011; Matt Robinson This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network.

Stanton didn't elaborate on why he abandoned the idea, though I'd guess it's because Jobs figured out how to get Sprint to give him $15.5 billion for the right to sell iPhones.

This story was produced in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity
Lionel Townsend will turn 14 in September and a few months after that he will be able to return to school, ending a year of exile.
Lionel admits he got into fights multiple times at Magnolia Middle School. When he was charged with vandalizing a school bus security camera, he was booted from school. He fought again in a community day program. The county Youth Court eventually put him on probation and an order to stay at home with an ankle monitor.
But the federal Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is alleging the juvenile justice system is so faulty it amounts to a "school-to-prison pipeline" in the Townsends' home of Meridian.
"If you do wrong, you got to pay," insisted Lionel's mother, Ella Townsend, speaking in the living room of the home she shares with her mother, Lionel and four of the boy's siblings. Lionel listens quietly, a skinny boy, who grins when attention is turned to him, or he's teased about the sparkly blue earring studded in his ear. "But "that was harsh punishment," she said, "I feel like they were sort of out of order."
Townsend says her son's ankle monitor was so sensitive it went off if he went in the back yard. The young man is rid of it now, but not before he gouged off the speaker, causing what Townsend said the court assessed as $1,500 in damage.
She worries if Lionel makes another mistake, he will end up in prison with adults, where he will learn the criminal trade.
The Justice Department says it has probable cause to believe the city of Meridian and Lauderdale County routinely and repeatedly incarcerate children for school disciplinary infractions, as outlined in an Aug. 10 open letter, at the end of an eight-month investigation. Their letter is addressed to the city and county, the county's two Youth Court judges, as well as the state Division of Youth Services, but not the Meridian school system.
The letter said infractions such as defiance, disrespect, dress code violations or cursing led to a police ride to the county Youth Court. City police in closed-door interviews called themselves a "taxi service" from school to jail, the DOJ writes. "MPD officers may subjectively believe that they are acting appropriately," reads the letter, but the DOJ argues the police are wrong to automatically arrest children referred by the schools, instead of investigating and determining probable cause themselves. The police, they charge, do not assess "whether the alleged conduct qualifies as an arrestable offense."
Once in custody, the Youth Court fails to give children speedy hearings, the DOJ says, by holding court only two days per week, thus on weekends and holidays pushing some children over a 48-hour threshold. Furthermore, "children and their guardians consistently report that they are not always appointed an attorney for detention or adjuration hearings," reads the letter, adding an allegation that the public defender in the court does not provide "meaningful or effective representation."
In cases of probation, children are inappropriately signing probation contracts that they do not comprehend, says the DOJ, and there "is no evidence that Lauderdale County and DYS [Mississippi Division of Youth Services] ever provide constitutionally required probable cause hearings." DYS youth counselors — the DOJ calls them "probation officers" — in practice have "absolute discretion" to determine if there is a probation violation and what the consequence will be, according to allegations.
The federal agency also claims that African-American children are disproportionately suspended or expelled and that Meridian children who have disabilities are expelled or given long suspensions at a rate almost seven times higher than the state as a whole, though it does not quote detailed statistics.
The DOJ said it sought Youth Court records to supplement site visits, and interviews with police, DYS staff and community members. They were denied access locally on privacy grounds. In a written comment, a Mississippi attorney general spokesperson explained, "we have said that the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) will cooperate in any lawful manner with the DOJ investigation. However, state law, including Mississippi Code Section 43-21-261, prohibits the AOC from providing to DOJ copies of confidential youth court records without a court order."
But the city of Meridian and Lauderdale County reject the charges, accusing the federal agency of basing their allegations on only "a few" cases and "unsubstantiated" claims, in a letter they wrote to the DOJ, which was released in response to media queries to the police and the Youth Court.
The findings of the DOJ are "one-sided and reflect, in our opinion, the inexperience and unprofessionalism of your investigating representatives as to basic criminal procedure," write Meridian City Attorney Ronnie Walton and attorney for Lauderdale County, J. Richard Barry.
Youth Court judges Veldore Young and Frank Coleman "categorically deny any systematic violation of any child's constitutional rights and have faithfully followed the laws of this State and will continue to protect the confidentiality of our children's youth court records," reads the attorneys' Aug. 23 response.
They suggest the DOJ's head civil rights lawyer is already biased against Meridian, accusing Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez of running to the media instead of talking with judges; and of publicly criticizing Meridian schools.
They say the DOJ letter contains "outright untruths where it is stated that those judges would not cooperate" with the investigation by turning over juvenile court records. The attorneys say the judges do not have the legal right to hand over those papers.
After numerous requests for comment, a spokesperson from the Department of Justice wrote in an email that, "protecting the constitutional rights of youth is a top priority of the Justice Department. The department's Civil Rights Division is tasked with ensuring and acting to protect the civil rights of children. If we find that a school district or juvenile justice system is depriving youth of their rights, we will not hesitate to act.
New School Year
Last year, Alvin Taylor was hired as Meridian school superintendent after several rapid changes of leadership. Much of the top administration turned over at the same time, he said, and his new team brought in new policies and procedures.
"I can't speak on what happened before June 1, 2011," said Taylor, referring to the day his work started.
Taylor's 2011-2012 school year student handbooks lay out dozens of rule infractions and the punishments. Police only get involved, Taylor said, for three infractions named by Mississippi state law: weapons, drugs or serious violent acts.
A schoolyard fight is not considered a serious violent act, Taylor said, but gang fights or assaulting a teacher for example, is.
When school staff determine one of those three infractions has happened, said Taylor, a call to police must first be approved by himself or the assistant superintendent of student services.
He said less than 1 percent of youth get arrested in a given year in his roughly 6,200-student system. There are also around 60 or so expulsions every year, he said. Taylor said that expulsion rate is lower than average, according to his research.
As for the DOJ allegations that children who have disabilities — including learning disabilities — are disproportionally ousted from school, Taylor said, "all those accusations stem from 2009. And I can't speak on what they did back then. I can tell you that's not the situation now."
In 2009, Meridian High School enrolled 1,625 students, according to the latest figures available in a federal Department of Education database. The same database says that among 205 Meridian High School students who have disabilities, there were 145 instances of children getting more than one out-of-school suspension. The student population overall was 86.8 percent African-American, and black students represented 96 percent of all out-of-school suspensions and 100 percent of the 10 reported expulsions.
Long-Smoldering Fire
The DOJ received the very first complaints about Meridian in 2005 from NAACP activist Randle Jennings. He was surprised when the city cut funding to a baseball program for at-risk youth he ran and considered very successful. He started looking at schools and asked why more than 90 percent of the teachers were white, given that there were five historically black colleges or universities within one hundred miles, and more than 90 percent of Meridian's students were black?
"We realized something was going on," said Jennings, now the county NAACP education chair. "We smelled smoke," but did not have an explanation for it. He sent the data about teacher and student demographics to the DOJ, and admits he did not know what they might find.
Five years later, in May 2010, the federal Department of Justice sent a letter to Lauderdale County's and Meridians' official attorneys. They were asking for records about school discipline and police involvement in schools. In the following months, the DOJ also participated in at least two public meetings where they asked area residents to come lodge their complaints about school discipline and the law.
Jennings is sure a pipeline runs through Meridian. "We have a concern for our children, especially the next generation because we have seen two generations be destroyed … [we] systematically need a plan so our children aren't shoved in that pipeline."
Lauderdale County juvenile inmates used to land in a detention center on the edge of town. However, it's closed now and since the beginning of 2012, minors have been bused to a center some 70 miles away in Rankin County. Lauderdale's center had been the subject of a federal lawsuit brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center over conditions of incarceration.
Get Rid of the Problem
The Love City Fellowship, a church in Meridian, hosted a public meeting on school discipline and the law in August 2010. The church, the DOJ and the Southern Poverty Law Center invited parents to come to the afternoon meeting to talk about suspensions and arrests from city schools. Some church members are still collecting stories from friends and neighbors and urging parents to talk to the DOJ.
"Some of the rules that are in place do not put the child in mind first," said Senior Pastor Lamorris Richardson. "Instead of having to deal with the problem and find a solution, it's more 'get rid of the problem.'"
The city school system is separately in a dispute with the DOJ that is very closely related to the newly-announced allegations against the city and county. The school system is a party in a 1960s-era federal desegregation order. The DOJ reopened that case in 2010 in an effort to investigate the discipline complaints and other complaints that the district was allegedly unfairly terminating African-American educators.
In that case, besides asking for data, the DOJ asked for access to visit schools and interview staff in 2010. The school district initially rejected those DOJ requests, and the DOJ responded by asking the federal court to order access and document release. According to court filings, the school argued the demand to visit and interview staff and law enforcement officers is too broad and amounts to "fishing" for information, as does a DOJ request to inspect databases and documents on site at schools. That battle over visits, interviews and inspections is ongoing in court and forms the background to the DOJ's August letter and threat to sue the city and county.
Pastor Richardson said his city needs a school board picked by the community. Now it is named by the mayor and confirmed by city council. Though, according to Elizabeth McDonald, spokeswoman for the school district, the board members each represent different areas of the city.
The board is currently made up of three whites and two blacks.
"This city has not moved in how many decades? … Five decades?" asked pastor Betty Alford, also of Love City Fellowship, comparing treatment of African-Americans now to the 1960s.
Richardson added, "No community, in 2012, should be still dealing with practices that applies [only] to a certain group, a certain community where kids rights are not being protected in school. We should be way past this kind of bias."
But Meridian children like Lionel are out of Superintendent Taylor's hands. Once a child is expelled, the child is not a "student" and the school board is not obligated to instruct him.
That being said, the schools, in partnership with the city and local groups, will this year start a pilot program for expelled students that provides character and academic education, as well as technical options. It will have 18 slots and is set to start in September. That will be the only full-time educational opportunity for students expelled from school.
As for Lionel, Ella is teaching him at home until he goes back to school, though she said it is not enough. "I can do stuff from what I know, but I'm not a trained teacher," she said. "He needs to eat his material, he needs to study and learn."

A new Spiritualized album is always cause for rejoicing amongst fans of psychedelic space rock. Songs in A&E comes with a little more emotion behind it. After 2003's Amazing Grace, the music world almost lost Spiritualized's head honcho Jason Pierce (a.k.a J. Spaceman, once of Spacemen 3) to a viscious string of medical ailments. They attacked Pierce just as he was beginning to craft Songs, which helps explain why the album has been so long in coming. Many of the tunes here are back to being big, swooning, and orchestral, like those from previous Spiritualized albums Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space and Let it Come Down, after Amazing Grace rocked it on the raw, garage tip. A series of instrumentals that dot Songs all share the word "Harmony" in their titles, a nod to Harmony Korine, who had Pierce provide some of the music for his film Mr. Lonely.

Displeasure with Capitol Hill
October 11, 2013
A significant majority of middle market executives agree that middle market job growth will have a significant impact on strengthening the U.S. economy (96%). Despite this, 83% believe Congress is doing too little to support the middle market; while 95% disapprove of the job performance of Congress and 70% disapprove of the job performance of President Obama. Overall, two-thirds reported disapproval of the job performance of both Congress and the President.
Other key findings in CIT: Voice of the Middle Market – Perspectives from the Heart of the U.S. Economy, by CIT Group, Inc. include the following:
*Better off Today than Yesterday: The majority of middle market executives report that their companies are in a strong position today (60%). In addition, many remain optimistic with 55% saying they are better off today than compared to a year ago.
*Top Concerns Are Taxes and Compliance with Affordable Care Act: However, the optimism of middle market executives is not without its challenges. While most are worried about economic uncertainty in the United States and globally (81% and 70%, respectively), there are also concerns about potential tax increases (74%), compliance with the Affordable Care Act (70%) and compliance with government regulations (66%). In addition, 54% said they believed rising interest rates would have a negative impact on their business.
*Uncertainty and Talent Management: Looking ahead to the next 12 months, middle market executives express concern about talent management with 59% concerned about their ability to retain top talent, and 60% with their ability to hire top talent.
*Focused on Growth and Expansion: Respondents report that over the next 12 months their companies are likely to: increase the range of products and services they offer (59%); expand into adjacent markets (55%) and increase the size of their workforce (46%).
*Balancing the Budget: Indicative of their lack of optimism in the strength of the U.S. economy and overall poor job performance rating for Congress, a vast majority of middle market executives (80%) reported that balancing the federal budget will have a significant impact on their business.
*Satisfaction with Financing: Overall satisfaction with financing remained high. Eight in ten middle market executives (81%) report that they are satisfied with their company's access to financing, as well as the cost of financing for their company (80%). Most also say that they are satisfied with the variety of financing alternatives available to their company (79%).
*Putting Capital to Work: With satisfaction remaining high about their access to financing, middle market executives expressed plans to put that cash to work for working capital purposes (35%), by investing in plant and equipment (34%) and financing acquisitions (30%).

Soul Dancing
The dancers of the 35-year-old Philadanco are a beautiful lotstrong, limber, passionate, up for anything. Choreographers tend to want to challenge them physically, to intoxicate us with the play of long limbs and soaring bodies, but in commissioning repertory, director Joan Myers Brown keeps the spiritual in mind too.
In Jawole Willa Jo Zollar's Between Earth and Home, seven of the company's strong women move like an scrappy avian flock. They surround the fierce outsider soloist (Hollie Wright) with pecking heads, arms crooked into wings, chicken walks. Their aim is an enigma; they toss her from the group, then yank her back. Each "lectures" her with a solo dance while Brenda Gray's florid lighting turns the sky red. I guess she's redeemed, kneeling while Abbey Lincoln's voice rolls out "when I'm called . . ." The others return, nice to her now, and she leaps into the wings. Are these demanding guardians who prepare a wayward soul for heaven? It's not quite clear.
Geoffrey Holder aims to make heaven (and the loss of it) very clear. His Ballet: The Blues and the Bible: Genesis presents Adam and Lilith, Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel as characters in a simple, colorful storybook tale, surrounded by fauna out of African ritual (magnificently designed by Holder, who also wrote the music), but with a smidgin of jazziness. Creatures with horns and phallic tails parade past in the shadows below the starry sky of a pretty sexy Eden. We first view Adam (Gary W. Jeter II) as a muscular naked torso, butt in the air, but Lilith (Odara N. Jabali-Nash), nipples painted on her body suit, isn't having any (she's ejected from Eden just as she was omitted from the Bible). Three antlered creatures watch Adam and Eve (Dawn Marie Watson) in coital embraces (did I hear a coaxing male voice say, "Come on, girl!"?).
Joyce Theater
September 20 through 25
A snake in silver spangles, an apple tree that looks like a fertility god on stilts, a black-masked angel for the Expulsion, a giant painted eye that oozes a tear in the final momentthe design treats are many. The drama, however, leeches away in the rivalry between Cain (Jeter) and Abel (Corey Baker) and the slaying of Abel. Whatever reason Holder had for having the same dancer play Adam and Cain, the result of the casting was that Adam disappeared from the story at a crucial moment.

Ronald K. Brown's dances always speak of devotion. I'm not talking of the Christian beliefs that crop up in his choices of music or themes, but the soul power of the dance steps he createssteps that ally the dancing with the hard, yet resilient African earth. The pumping, swinging arms; the bent-kneed stances; the sliding, pounding feet bring the performers' spirit up close to the skin. As is often the case with Brown's pieces, the premiere, For Mother (celebrating many strong "mothers," including Philadanco's founder-director Brown), seems to go on too long and dissipate some of its impact, but it's rich in complex beauties, like the opening solo for tall, gorgeous Mora-Amina Parker. Brown can always make us see dancers as real people with real thoughts.
Lynn Taylor-Corbett gives her Everything is Everything, to music by Lauryn Hill, subtitles like "Lost Ones" and "Zion." But what the piece mostly shows you is big, glamorous dancing with, say, bold catapulting males (to rapping) and softer, more sensually aware women (milder music) as the "lost." There's a love duet, elegantly performed by tall Warren B. Griffin III and Jabali-Nash, in which Taylor-Corbett creates some intriguing maneuvers around clasped hands. Dawn Marie Watson shines as an endearingly peppy show-off who hankers to be a star. Jeter, Baker, and Ashmad M. Lemons pay attention and drop her into a split to help out. And a dance-to-beat-the-band finale elicits the planned-for applause for its winning performers.

Women's rights, HIV and maternal health
Access to antiretroviral medication for people living with HIV continued to expand, with two million people on treatment by October. High levels of HIV-infection among pregnant women remained a concern, with KwaZulu-Natal province recording an infection rate of 37.4% among women attending antenatal clinics.
In August, a Ministry of Health-supported report on trends in maternal mortality noted that the deaths of 40.5% of the 4,867 women who died during pregnancy or within 42 days of delivery between 2008 and 2010 were due to non-pregnancy-related infections, in particular HIV. Delays in access to antenatal care and antiretroviral treatment were contributing factors.
Human rights defenders
Harassment of human rights defenders and improper pressure on institutions, including the Office of the Public Protector and senior prosecutors, continued.
- In January, Ayanda Kota, chairperson of the Unemployed People's Movement, was assaulted by police and unlawfully detained at Grahamstown police station. He had gone to the police station voluntarily following a complaint made against him. Charges against him, including of resisting arrest, were later withdrawn.
- In July, an environmental rights activist and survivor of torture, Kevin Kunene, was shot dead 10 days after he and three others lodged a complaint of corruption with the Public Protector against the KwaMbonambi Tribal Authority. No suspects had been brought to trial by the end of the year.
- In October, Social Justice Coalition members Angy Peter and her partner Isaac Mbadu were arrested on a murder charge. Prior to their arrest, they had lodged a complaint against a senior police officer for corruption. Angy Peter was also assisting a judicial Commission of Inquiry, ordered by the Premier of the Western Cape, into alleged service failures by police. They were released from remand custody before the end of the year but continued to experience harassment. In November, the National Commissioner of Police instituted legal proceedings to halt the inquiry.

Thread: Judo Chop?
4/17/2006 10:40am, #41--
Discusses this sunject in length. Me and Gumby both provide different sides of the argument, gumby saying it was the carotid artery, myself saying it was the brachial nerve center located on the side of the neck.
-There is medical evidence that going out from a choke is not just from stopping blood flow. I would imagine its the same physiological thing going on. I don't know enough to say one way or the other.
4/17/2006 11:36am, #42--
Those are very different cases than being dropped from a hit.
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, if unconsciousness is
near instant: neurological.
3-20 seconds: circulatory.
1-3 minutes: respiratory.
Longer than that, the person probably just fell asleep. :smile:

--I've used the edge of the hand as a kind of rabbit punch. It works pretty well. What that and the ridgehand have in common are:
1) They're a bit quicker than a closed hand making the same motion.
2) They require less precision because they set up your forearm to hit.
3) They come in at odd angles compared to standard P/K techniques.
4) You can hit hard surfaces without gloves or wraps.
The whole idea that you get more power across a smaller surface is bollocks, as far as I can tell. Your hand is too soft.

It's not like I meant for him to get hurt. . . .
Julian Twerski isn't a bully. He's just made a big mistake. So when he returns to school after a weeklong suspension, his English teacher offers him a deal: if he keeps a journal and writes about the terrible incident that got him and his friends suspended, he can get out of writing a report on Shakespeare. Julian jumps at the chance. And so begins his account of life in sixth grade--blowing up homemade fireworks, writing a love letter for his best friend (with disastrous results), and worrying whether he's still the fastest kid in school. Lurking in the background, though, is the one story he can't bring himself to tell, the one story his teacher most wants to hear.
Inspired by Mark Goldblatt's own childhood growing up in 1960s Queens, Twerp shines with humor and heart. This remarkably powerful story will have readers laughing and crying right along with these flawed but unforgettable characters.

Editors' Review
+Sidereal Clock is a tiny application that allows users to keep track of local mean sidereal time. The program does function appropriately, but its complete lack of other features or options may be disappointing to some users.
This program may well be the smallest and simplest program we've ever reviewed. Users can enter their time zone or have the clock detect it automatically, and users can also enter their longitude. But that's it. The clock is small, about 1 inch by 2 inches, and displays sidereal time in hours, minutes, and seconds. An online Help file gives a brief description of each of the clock's features. Users access the program's settings by right-clicking on the clock's face, and it may seem at first that the program contains several other features, including the ability to display universal time and use a calculator and alarms. However, attempting to access these features results in a message encouraging users to upgrade to the commercial version of the program. If you truly need a sidereal clock and nothing more, this program is fine. But if you're looking for features of any sort, you're better off with something else.
Sidereal Clock is free. It comes as a ZIP file but installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users seeking a very basic way to keep track of sidereal time.

The electronic musician / producer details a February jaunt through the Queen's kingdom.
Called the "Grey Daze Tour," the new routing represents Skrillex' biggest U.K. headline tour so far and includes many "O2" venues.
The adventure begins at O2 Academy Leeds Feb. 10. Other stops are O2 Academy Newcastle Feb. 11; Manchester Academy Feb. 12; O2 Academy Liverpool Feb. 14; O2 Academy Oxford Feb. 15; O2 Academy Bristol Feb. 16; London at O2 Academy Brixton Feb. 17; and O2 Academy Birmingham Feb. 19. The last date on the itinerary is in Norwich at the Univ. Of East Anglia LCR-Union, a non-O2 venue but that's probably because the school has yet to strike a deal.

Temozolomide is used to treat certain types of brain tumors. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in your body.
Temozolomide injection comes as a powder to be added to fluid and injected over 90 minutes intravenously (into a vein) by a doctor or nurse. It is usually injected once a day. For some types of brain tumors, temozolomide is given daily for 42 to 49 days. Then, after a 28-day break, it may be given once a day for 5 days in a row, followed by a 23-day break before repeating the next dosage cycle. For treatment of other types of brain tumors, temozolomide is given once a day for 5 days in a row, followed by a 23-day break before repeating the next dosage cycle. The length of treatment depends on the how well your body responds to it and the type of cancer that you have.
Your doctor may need to delay your treatment or adjust your dose depending on your response to treatment and any side effects that you experience. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling during your treatment with temozolomide.

Confirmed to be Boba Fett (ESB) with Han Solo: Carbonite Block. $44.99 at SDCC.
Confirmed to be Boba Fett (ESB) with Han Solo: Carbonite Block. $44.99 at SDCC.
Wow, we're all... whelmed. ;) I think we can safely say we saw this coming. I'm not blown away by the images so far though, the sculpt and paint look like the existing 4" figure, which isn't worth $20, so hopefully this is just a case of prototype blues.
I was kind of expecting to see a more detailed and weathered paint job. Plus, Boba's helmet looks a little squished on top. But I have no interest in the SDCC exclusive, so I'll just wait and see what the retail version looks like.
I totally agree about the paint job, or rather the lack of a paint job, there's no weathering at all and it really takes away here.
Boba's helmet is more squished in ESB compared to ROTJ, it's one of the reasons Sideshow's figure gets a knock, they used the ROTJ helmet design.
It looks like his rangefinder isn't movable, if that's the case I'm going to be quite disappointed.
Retitled the thread.
Hi-res photos have gotten out there:
I'm underwhelmed to the Nth degree. These are supposed to be collector-premium quality, yet look at the sculpting on the shoulder armor, there's never been an uglier, thicker design for this on the 3.75" scale - going all the way back to the 1979 figure! It has added joints in the wrists and ankles, but uses ugly cut joints in the biceps and thighs (look at that right bicep joint in action); look at the hinge pins in the knees too, what the hell? And the sculpting doesn't look sharper than any 3.75" figure. The production version better look a hell of a lot better than this, I'd say it looks like an upscaled 3.75" figure if I didn't know better.
The carbonite block fares better, sculpting may not be a sharp as I'd like but it's good. Not feeling the phoned in paint on the control panel though. There's a seam on the side, looks like the control panels are inserts and the slab is built in halves.
This doesn't scream "$50 exclusive!!!" to you, JT?
You didn't notice I was using the sarcastic font? :)
To be honest, I'm not sure that it screams "$20 figure that'll probably at least once go on sale for $15, if not on clearance for lower."
I don't need this.
I especially don't need another Boba Fett figure.
I don't even have a pass into Comic Con as of yet, and may not even get one.
That being said, this is how you make Han Solo Carbonite
1. Han figure in white shirt, brown pants
2. extra right and left arms, bent up with hands in frozen position
3. carbonite block bottom - fits figure in it. Snaps to additional parts.
4. clear carbonite top like 1985 POTF figure, goes over figure and lets you see it in carbonite block
5. clear carbonite top like 1985 POTF figure, goes over figure and has holes around hands and face, with red "heat / melting" effects
6. opaque carbonite top like 1996 figure, seals action figure inside, looks as it did when hanging on Jabba's wall
7. opaque carbonite top like 2006 figure, seals figure inside, but has red heat melting effect
8. Skiff guard force pike
9. Skiff guard blaster
10. Jabba's dungeon handcuff shackles
11. Cloud City arm band shackles
12. extra head with Han's face grimacing in anguish from being frozen
13. sandstorm goggles from deleted scene
If you want to get crazy:
14. softgoods Bespin jacket
15. removeable gun belt with working holster
16. Han's signature blaster pistol
17. oxygen mask
18. welding mask
19. hydropanner
20. Mynock
This is the ultimate Bespin / Carbonite ESB / ROTJ Han Solo figure. I would buy this for the 3 3/4" line.
Tycho... that's kinda unrealistic for a $20.00 figure.
