Additional Terms & Information
Frequently Asked Question Everything you need to know about bareboat yacht charters. What is a bareboat yacht charter? A bareboat yacht charter is where you hire the boat for you and your guests and intend to sail yourself or hire one of our skippers to sail it for you. Where do you offer bareboat charters? We have +50 destinations worldwide and +1,000 yachts, including the Caribbean, Bahamas, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Asia and the Americas. What licenses do I need to hire a yacht and sail myself? The skipper of a yacht has primary responsibility for the safety of the crew and yacht at all times. To charter in the Mediterranean, you must hold an ICC (International Certificate of Competence) or RYA Day Skipper (minimum) qualification. One sailing license is mandatory for bareboat charters in Italy, Sweden, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Seychelles, Montenegro, Brazil, Thailand and Spain. The original certificate must be taken with you on your charter. We advise you to contact our team about your qualifications and the destination requirements before booking. By accepting the yacht contract you are confirming that you and/or members of your crew are capable and competent to sail the yacht in the conditions and cruising area of charter. We reserve the right not to hand over the yacht if, after inspection, it is the opinion that the charterer is not, or may not be competent to be in charge of the vessel.

Please note that contents vary by destination • Damage waiver: Insurance with a lower excess has been added to your quote and is mandatory in some destinations. You can pay a higher damage waiver deposit at the base, which is fully refundable if there is not any damage or loss to the boat, dinghy and equipment. The damage waiver, or refundable security deposit, is designed to cover one incident of a substantial nature at any one time. In the case of loss or damage to equipment of significant value, such as the outboard engine or dinghy, you have the right to an immediate replacement while on the charter What is not included?

Our super premier yachts are less than 12 months old from their first charter date, while premier yachts are less than three years old from their first charter date. Our yachts are well maintained and undergo regular, scheduled technical inspection. In case of emergency, you can rely on our hotline, at any time, seven days a week. If you experience a technical failure affecting major and important parts of the yacht, we will repair the failure within four hours of receiving your call during working hours (8am to 5pm). If you lose more than four hours (during working hours), we will compensate you for one full day. If the repair takes more than one day, we will provide you with a similar boat or compensate you on a pro-rata basis. If restrictions to this guarantee apply in specific areas, this will be detailed during the charter check-in at the base. What briefing do you give at base?

New York (MarketWatch) — For years, good returns have come in smaller-cap packages. Now, with small- and mid-cap stocks looking like they're at the higher end of their historical valuations, and most major market averages posting so many successive record highs that a kind of indifference to them has some wagging a market-crash finger. Investors are right to wonder if there are any bargains left on the shelf.
There are.
But you will find them, just where you would last think to look: Right in front of you, hiding in plain sight, as big and bold as the global brands they broadcast.
Mega-cap stocks, stocks in the upper-capitalization deck of the S&P 500, the biggest gorillas in the market's cage, are not only the currently most attractive group of U.S. stocks by historical valuation standards, they're also the most attractive group in terms of return potential.
• Exxon Mobil is still in play for investors
• Mega caps with mega recommendations
• Ride the global-reflation trade with BHP
• See full Trading Strategies report for August
How did this happen?
On the one hand, I'd argue that the battleship behemoths have been shunned for swifter shuttles to faster gains — there's nothing sexy about owning GE GE, -2.88%, Microsoft MSFT, -5.20% or Bank of America BAC, -3.54%. Even owning Apple AAPL, -4.95% feels like it's such an obvious pick, that many of its kindred capitalization fruits have been left hanging on the tree.
Another reason: The rush to dividend yield may have netted some mega caps in the mix, but predominantly yield chasers rushed past the safer, more-liquid, less-volatile names en route to dividend yields they, too, could brag about.
I don't know how else to say this. Mega-cap stocks aren't fashionable: They have all the allure of a dinosaur. You'd have to be a cave man to think that by investing in such names you'd have any bragging rights at the stock-pickers' performance bar. Besides, not to throw stones, but they haven't performed as well as their smaller- and mid-cap brethren throughout this remarkable multi-year bull run.
I grant you that. But perhaps that is one reason you should consider them here and now. Their better valuations are in part a result of lagging, not leading, the run. Their lag is in part due to another factor: Mega-caps tend to derive the lion's share of their revenue from the global marketplace. Relative weakness in the euro zone and Asia have meant that their profits have been more constrained, but are also better poised to claw their way higher if global recovery can trump geopolitical snafus.
Will the markets kowtow to geopolitics? Will the markets revert to the statistical mean of at least a 10% correction?
Who knows? No, you don't. No. You don't know either.
I do know that we have already begun to see the blush come off the small-cap rose (not permanently, not exclusively, but uncontestably). If, as I have written abut here several times this year, we get a now-statistically long overdue correction for larger-cap markets (a pullback of 10% to 15% wouldn't surprise me), then I'd suspect we'd see a 15%-to-20%-plus swoon in smaller cap, the Russell 2000 kinds of names and indexes, which brings me to another thing I like about mega caps: Cash in their coffers. Many U.S. mega caps have better balance sheets than the G7 nations. They can weather a downturn better, and, hence, be better positioned to turn a correction's lemons into profitable lemonade.
Since we're talking about the elephant in the market's room, I'm going to note three ways to lead them to this bull market's circus.
First, you could own the State Street SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, -3.01%. Unlike small caps, these aren't names that would be giants, they are giants: Boeing BA, -4.46%, Caterpillar CAT, -2.51%, IBM IBM, -3.46%, Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -1.65%, McDonalds MCD, -2.97%, Microsoft, Visa V, -2.52% and Wal-Mart WMT, -1.52%. It's a clean play in the mega-cap space, cheap to buy, easy to trade.
Second, better than the above recommendation and the best pick for my money (and I do own this fund personally, as do clients at Adviser Investments), is Fidelity MegaCap Stock FGRTX, -0.83%. Managed by veteran mega-cap stock picker Matt Fruhan, and backed by the unparalleled-research scope and scale and analytical acumen of Fidelity's team, you've got a no-load, actively managed way to zero in on the potential sum gain of mega caps. Currently, Fruhan's top picks include Apple, Bank of America, Comcast US:CMCSK, Chevron CVX, -2.53%, GE, JPMorgan Chase JPM, -2.84%, Microsoft and Verizon VZ, -2.16%. His top 10 represent 30% of the fund's total holdings.
If I were thinking of trading into either, I'd also consider a third sector-investment trade into health care: pharmaceuticals. I want to be overweight health care generally, and in the mega-cap space, this, too, holds true. Given that neither of my mega-cap picks above are overweight mega-cap health-care names, I'll inject them here: The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF IHE, -2.11% or the more actively managed index of the Powershares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals ETF PJP, -3.05%. I prefer the actively managed, no-load Fidelity Select Pharmaceuticals FPHAX, +0.40% to either for both a short-term trader and long-term investor. But if trading is raison d'etre, then I'd opt for PJP.
I know none of these picks will give you a story to tell in the "what's hot that you've bought" conversations, but they should help you avoid having to recount nightmares … and provide cool-headed gains by year-end.

Help Glossary
The school participation rate for the arts assessment was 97 percent (99 percent for public schools and 76 percent for private schools for both music and visual arts). To ensure unbiased samples, NCES statistical standards require that nonresponse bias analyses be conducted for any school or student group with a participation rate that falls below 85 percent.
NCES statistical standards require that nonresponse bias analysis be conducted for any school or student group with a participation rate that falls below 85 percent. The participation rates for the 2008 NAEP arts assessment indicated a need for a school non-response bias analysis for the private school sample. The results showed that school substitution and non-response adjustments were not effective in reducing non-response bias for the percentage of Hispanic students enrolled and type of private schools (Catholic and other private schools). Disproportionate nonresponse resulted in an overestimation of the percentage of Hispanic students, an overestimation in the percentage of Catholic school students, and an underestimation of the percentage of other non-Catholic school students.

THANKS to an unlikely confluence of history and genetics - the fact that he is African-American and president - Barack Obama has a unique opportunity to reshape the debate over one of the most contentious issues of America's racial legacy: reparations, the idea that the descendants of American slaves should receive compensation for their ancestors' unpaid labor and bondage.
There are many thorny issues to resolve before we can arrive at a judicious (if symbolic) gesture to match such a sustained, heinous crime. Perhaps the most vexing is how to parcel out blame to those directly involved in the capture and sale of human beings for immense economic gain.
While we are all familiar with the role played by the United States and the European colonial powers like Britain, France, Holland, Portugal and Spain, there is very little discussion of the role Africans themselves played. And that role, it turns out, was a considerable one, especially for the slave-trading kingdoms of western and central Africa. These included the Akan of the kingdom of Asante in what is now Ghana, the Fon of Dahomey (now Benin), the Mbundu of Ndongo in modern Angola and the Kongo of today's Congo, among several others.

The Seneca Township board voted Oct. 11 to move forward with legal action regarding continuing complaints about property in North Morenci.
Sharon King owns two properties in North Morenci and has faced repeated complaints about outdoor trash and other violations of township ordinances.
Township attorney Dan Bruggeman was given authority to proceed with legal action.
Township resident Pat Spooner asked the board for suggestions regarding his efforts to clean the right-of-way along Hickory Street in North Morenci. Spooner has a permit to clean 449 feet and he said his efforts are being obstructed by residents. He was advised to call the county sheriff's department for assistance.
MAEMS—The board accepted the resignation of Lori Drogowski from the Morenci Area EMS board. The board appointed Marie Meinke to serve as the township's representative and she will be paid $50 for each meeting attended.
SCHOOLING—The board approved a request by Meinke, the township treasurer, to attend a training session sponsored by the Michigan Township Association.
The board denied a request by building inspector Kevin Arquette for reimbursement of training he takes to maintain his inspector license. The request was denied, explained township clerk Allison Ott, because the inspector job is contracted and he is not a township employee.
Township supervisor John Gould was to speak with Arquette about lining up a back-up inspector. Arquette will not be available for several weeks this winter.
TIRES—The used tire collection brought in $2,079 in fees and one trailer was filled. The costs of operating the collection are not yet all known. On the trash collection day, three bins were filled.
DITCH WORK—The board authorized $4,000 to Andre Land Forming for ditch work on Ridgeville Road between Seneca and Clement.
ELECTION—The following inspectors for the Nov. 2 General Election were hired: Allison Ott, Marie Meinke, Marlene Kelly and Arlene McVay, with Shirley Vanderpool named as an alternate.
PLANNERS—The township planning commission will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Book Review: 'The Quality of Mercy' by Peter Brook
John Heilpern
Oct. 4, 2013
Peter Brook, widely considered to be the most influential director in theater, has written a slender book of only 110 pages about Shakespeare. "The Quality of Mercy," though, contains within its scintillating reflections the essence of all that he has learned over a lifetime.
Whoever imagined that a book about Shakespeare could also be such fun? "In Africa there is a saying," Mr. Brook writes in his introduction. "To be too serious is not very serious." He is therefore good-humored, writing as a theater insider from vast personal experience. (At 88, Mr. Brook is still directing.) "This is not a scholastic work," he announces provocatively in the opening sentence, and though his work has been informed by scholars—notably, in younger days, by Jan Kott's 1964 "Shakespeare Our Contemporary"—his irreverent disclaimer couldn't be more refreshing. But perhaps he has a small ax to grind.
The Quality of Mercy
His opening chapter and curtain raiser, titled "Alas, Poor Yorick," describes how some years ago "the most reputable of intellectual magazines asked a panel of scholars to explore the great question, 'Who wrote Shakespeare?' " Invited to contribute, he responded with a comic reductio ad absurdum of all the loony theories and ended with a reference to the humorist Max Beerbohm, who apparently proved that the works of Tennyson had been written by Queen Victoria. But Mr. Brook's dissenting essay was prissily rejected as "not worthy of the high academic level they expected of their contributors."
He seizes his opportunity in "The Quality of Mercy," via merciless common sense, to demolish the "Shakespeare wasn't Shakespeare" school. Gossip is the coin of every realm, and Mr. Brook points out that nowhere is this more so than in the excitable, jealous world of theater. "Theatre people often refer to themselves as a family," he writes. "In a family all the secrets and lies are known to everyone." A few academics and leading actors like Derek Jacobi still argue that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was the real author of Shakespeare's plays, but Mr. Brook asks us prosaically: How come Shakespeare's rival playwrights—including Ben Jonson, who knew him well—never exposed him as an imposter? And is it conceivable that no one who worked backstage with Shakespeare at the Globe—no stagehand, no prompter, no actor—ever smelled a rat? "I'm sorry, academics—if you'd been part of any rehearsal process you would think differently," Mr. Brook concludes.
But he goes on to argue that it doesn't matter in the least who in fact wrote the plays. "Forget Shakespeare!" could be his credo. Shakespeare's enigma and genius transcend the speculative autobiographical traces and all attempts "to pluck out the heart of his mystery." In an implied rebuke to the New Historicists led by Stephen Greenblatt of Harvard, he holds firmly that Shakespeare doesn't belong to the past. The only thing that has ever mattered to Mr. Brook as a director is to get at the truth of the plays "with the eyes of today."
"The Quality of Mercy" makes clear, however, that he resists the tendency to reduce and dumb down the plays in the forlorn hope of making them "accessible" and "relevant." In his chapter "A Cook and a Concept," he reveals his profound suspicion of conceptual art—and therefore of directors who cook up their own concepts to help us understand Shakespeare better. "If the concept is imposed in advance by a dominating mind, it closes all the doors."
To the contrary, one is struck by Mr. Brook's open-mindedness. He is a grand experimenter in his own way. His rehearsal process has always been an obsessive search to unlock ultimate meaning through painstaking improvisations. "Never stop," I once heard him tell an exhausted actor. "One always stops just when something is about to happen." His respect for Shakespeare's language is palpable whenever he discusses the giddy challenges of staging the plays. "The Quality of Mercy" reveals him approaching the verse with a sense of awe, step by step, word by word.
To that quixotic end, Mr. Brook has staged the most hackneyed great play in history, "Hamlet," four times in four different versions. His 1953 production with Paul Scofield was quite conventional; 42 years later he explored how the play might have been staged by such contrasting theater giants as Stanislavski, Brecht, Artaud, Meyerhold and Gordon Craig. He intuits the humanity of Shakespeare the working playwright. "I feel that when he came to the end of 'Measure for Measure,' Shakespeare seemed to have been in a hurry," he writes of the Bard's surprising device to bring the somber play to a swift, happy end. "Perhaps he had promised to deliver the play by nightfall. . . . Perhaps the Dark Lady was sitting on the edge of the bed, getting impatient with the writer and his repeated, 'Just a minute!' "
He adds spice to the book with just the right balance of backstage gossip. Reminiscing about his 1955 production of that bloodbath "Titus Andronicus," which starred Laurence Olivier, with Vivien Leigh as the brutalized Lavinia, he notes how "Vivien's grace and talent could transform this play, in the way that the Japanese theatre transforms awesome acts of cruelty in Kabuki legends." But during the production's European tour, a true tragedy merged with the unmerciful events onstage as her fragile mental health deteriorated to the point of madness.
Shakespeare is Mr. Brook's touchstone. Soon after his landmark 1970 production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," he took his newly formed international troupe of actors on a half-mad 100-day journey through the Sahara and Central West Africa (which I joined as an observer). The company, unable to speak the same language as its audience, invented a language for the little shows they created spontaneously along the way. But, on his return to his new theater base in Paris, Mr. Brook's first production was "Timon of Athens." He has traveled to numerous countries—Afghanistan, Iran and India, among others—and all the journeys inform his work. But Shakespeare, one grasps from "The Quality of Mercy," is his unending journey.
In his last chapter, about Prospero's last words in "The Tempest," he throws into question their meaning and significance. He believes the renowned epilogue ("Now my charms are all o'erthrown . . .") isn't about the middle-aged—and weary—Shakespeare offering a farewell to theater, as is too frequently assumed. Rather, within Prospero's desolate plea for a prayer that "assaults Mercy itself" in order to bring about a transforming freedom is found Shakespeare's final message to mankind. But, after three different productions of "The Tempest," Mr. Brook concludes that Prospero's epilogue is a riddle, to which—he is content to admit—he has yet to find an answer.

Re: Peter Brook on Shakespeare
And what's the point, sir? Why are we talking about him like this? --Hamlet to Osric, in decidedly not a hackneyed play.
Every college-educated person in the world with any sense knows that Shakespeare was the greatest writer in human history, with no explanation for it saving his own graces. The literary critic Harold Bloom was very late into his career before he could even mention his name, let alone write a book about him.
Edited to change "Herman" to the correct "Harold." All those male names beginning with "h" sound the same, don't you know.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach
Re: Peter Brook on Shakespeare
And yet it's college-educated people who argue most volubly that the non-college-educated glover's son from the provinces could not have written the plays credited to William Shakespeare. Could it be that they overestimate the value of a college education such as their own?
The book was being sold at the Harvey Theatre's book kiosk, just the hard-cover edition at a high price, but though part of what I paid would go to BAM, I'm too cheap and have ordered the paperback at half the hardcover price from Barnes & Noble. Looking forward to it.

Would John Kennedy have kept us out of war in Viet Nam?
Any reply is conjecture. However, he had actually been to war. That is a far different perspective from the one we find in the long string of draft dodgers and never-serveds we've had in recent years.
My friends who've seen war are far less eager to commit American troops than my other friends who view combat from an armchair perspective. There was a time when the sons of presidents and men of great wealth and power, such as a vastly wealthy former American ambassador to England, fought and died in defense of this country.Kennedy was of that time. He had experienced combat and nearly died as a result of it. His older brother had been killed in combat.
He knew the price.
How those life experiences would have influenced his decisions concerning Viet Nam, no one can say. But they would have been an enormous factor. Of that much, I am sure.
I lost people I care about in Viet Nam. I think their lives were wasted by incompetent military commanders and bad presidents of both political parties.
Here is a long speech from President Kennedy, talking about peace. I wish we had presidents today who felt the same regard for peace as this man.

This large globe bar was entirely crafted in Italy, where Baroque art and architecture was born. Baroque style is known for its exuberance and grandeur, as well as exaggerated gestures, motion and dramatic expressions. These elements are clearly evident in this piece of globe furniture, particularly in the large globe bar's floor stand.
The sixteenth-century map displayed on the antique globe replica is an accurate reproduction that is adhered to the sphere by traditional means, using layers of printed paper called gores. The beautifully illustrated inner dome serves as the ceiling for the bar globe drinks cabinet within.
In addition to the bar cabinet inside the world globe, the elegant floor stand features a base shelf that is equipped with a brass ring specially designed to hold more bottles and glassware and to keep them safe and secure. The top world globe drinks cabinet holds approximately 4/5 bottles and 12 glasses.
Three generations of globe-crafting have given Zoffoli the expertise and the versatility to produce a diverse selection of globe furniture art, like this Baroque-style bar globe, and still remain true to the period.

- Made in Italy – Free Shipping and Delivery to All of North America
Why? Globe furniture made in Italy ships free to the entire USA and Canada. We import Italian bar globes directly from the manufacturer in Italy and since the cost of shipping an item from Italy to any destination within North America is the same, we are able to offer free shipping to both Canada and the United States.
- Made in China – Free Shipping – Delivery to the USA ONLY
Why? Bar globes and world globes not made in Italy ship free to the USA ONLY. The distributors of non-Italian globe bar furniture are located in the United States and the shipping cost included in our price is for destinations within the contiguous United States. You are welcome to contact us for a quote on additional shipping costs to other destinations, but in our experience the cost of shipping a Chinese globe bar to a destination outside of the United States usually exceeds the price of the globe cabinet itself.
- Shipping to Countries in the European Union
We apologize but at this time we are unable to fill orders for Italian bar globes to be delivered to EU member countries due to current VAT laws. EU customers must be charged Value Added Tax for purchases of Italian items and this can only be done by EU retailers. We recommend visiting ZoffoliGlobe.com, the Italian manufacturer's online shop geared towards North American customers.

Baby Jasleen: Biggest Baby Ever Born in Germany at 13 lbs 4 ozs (PHOTO, VIDEO)
Baby Jasleen has been declared as Germany's biggest ever baby recording, weighing in at 13 lbs 4 ozs. Amazingly she was born naturally without a Cesarean section on July 26 in Leipzig, Germany.
Doctors have confirmed that they discovered the mother had suffered from gestational diabetes, and that is likely what led to the heavier birth weight of her baby.
However, despite the large size of Baby Jasleen, she was born healthily with no major complications for mother or baby, and both are said to be doing well in the neonatal care unit of the University Hospital in Leipzig.
Despite the surprising weight of Baby Jasleen, she is in fact nowhere near the world's largest ever baby. The Guinness Book of World Records has registered the heaviest baby ever born as being a boy weighing over 23 pounds. He was born in Ohio in 1879 but tragically died only 11 hours after birth.
Just earlier this year in March, a baby was born in the United Kingdom weighing 15 pounds, 7 ounces - about twice the size of an average baby. The newborn was the second biggest newborn ever born naturally in the U.K.
Baby George King was born in a dramatic delivery, and in the aftermath of the birth the delighted parents explained that they had to get rid of all the newborn baby clothes and diapers they had prepared for their son - as they didn't fit.
Baby George was also born completely naturally, which is extremely unusual for a baby of his size. In that case there also was no indication that baby George would be that big - both of his parents were born at more regular sizes, and are not particularly big themselves.
Baby George's size caused significant difficulties for his mother, Jade. Mid-way through the delivery - after baby George's head had already popped out - he became stuck. His relatively giant size for a newborn meant he simply was struggling to get his shoulders out.
Mom, Jade, has described that "that's when things got scary," as about 20 medical staff ended up in the room working on freeing the baby.
That sparked a big emergency for doctors and midwives, and baby George was oxygen deprived for a full five minutes - with doctors saying that he had only a 10 percent chance of survival at that point.
However, he was eventually delivered successfully and was transferred to another hospital for specialist care. He was only allowed home more than four weeks after his birth as he recovered from his ordeal.
Parents Jade and Ryan have confirmed that he entirely skipped his newborn clothes and went straight into 4-6 months clothing.

Futurism is sensible thinking about the most likely and logical evolution that will take place in the years to come.
It requires analysis, understanding of the past, vision and intuition for things to come. Therefore, it is neither having a crystal ball, nor writing science fiction.
To envision the full picture, I combine science and philosophy, analysis and intuition, technology and human nature, in all areas necessary for the analysis.
Of course, instead of predicting the future, there also is the possibility of helping shaping it...

Five years ago a new activity for ICC Belgium came to life, a Spaghetti Festivity. In that year, 2007, we started very modest with 60 subscriptions and a net profit of 375 Euro / $490 USD.
In 2011, 145 people found their way to Mechelen and the profit was 2,100 Euro / $2,745 USD.
Our cook surpassed himself once again this year. Everyone enjoyed the very tasty spaghetti sauce with fresh vegetables and some of the visitors even took a second portion. Everyone was full of praise of our cook. We were also able to count again on our volunteers who lent a hand, even two hands.
The sales table has also become a yearly tradition and different kind of items (also handmade) were nicely presented. And lots of items were sold during these two days, thanks to the handmade items of Carmen and the handmade Christmas pieces of Denise.
As president of ICC Belgium, I'm very proud of my ICC team and I would like to thank the whole team for the enormous work that they have done: Wim (Chef Cook), Coszack (Assistant Cook), Anja and Louiza (kitchen help), Mia, Ingrid and Carmen (Bartenders), Frank, Jozef, Mario and Kristof (Waiters), Francine and Dirk (Sales Table) and Jeannine who always helps us out with the promotional materials for our events.

Seasickness (Antarctic)
Everyone reacts differently to sea conditions whether during the crossing of the infamous Drake Passage to Antarctica, or even during calmer seas.
Combating Motion and Seasickness
We advise that you come prepared. Ask your physician to prescribe an appropriate seasickness medicine for you. Phenergan (promethazine) 25mg tablets have been scientifically proven to be an effective seasickness preventative. Before you leave home please read your dosage instructions as most preventative seasickness medicine must be ingested ahead of time, while you are still feeling well. Be sure to bring enough medication for the duration of your voyage.
Tips: If you are prone to motion sickness, it is best to avoid alcohol, tobacco, excess liquids and confined spaces.
Onboard Medical Care and Facilities
Your ship will have two doctors aboard, one of whom is hired by Quark because of their international medical experience. There is also a medical clinic that is stocked with a supply of common prescription medicines and basic first aid equipment.
If you are under regular treatment for any ailment, you must bring a sufficient supply of medicines for yourself. We cannot accept responsibility for not having a specific brand or type of drug on board.

PER vol.16 n.4 Potchefstroom Apr. 2013
This edition of PER consists of eight articles, four notes and two book reviews covering a range of topics. The first article is by Oliver Fuo, a postgraduate student of the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus). His contribution deals with the status of executive policies and the basis for their judicial enforcement in a constitutional and socio-economic context. He demonstrates that "executive" policies may be perceived to have the force of law, especially where their enforcement may be imperative for the realisation of socio-economic rights. Secondly, Ig Rautenbach of the University of Johannesburg considers empirical data on the effectiveness of the Constitutional Court during the period 1995 to 2012. He focuses on the following three questions: "How did the cases reach the court", "why did the court refuse to consider some of them", and "how often did the court invalidate laws and actions". In the third article, Magda Slabbert and Hendrik Pienaar, follows a multi-disciplinary approach to discuss the legal position of the locum tenens that is often used by medical practitioners in private practice. They recommend that a locum tenens be appointed as an independent contractor rather than an employee, and argues that the onus to ensure that he or she is registered and fit to practice rests on the principal. The fourth article by Carika Keuler deals with the "pay now, argue later" rule in terms of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011. She is of the opinion that the Act fails to address the imbalance between the duties of the South African Revenue Services and the right of the taxpayer to access the courts. JC Knobel, the author of the fifth article, gives an overview of the conservation status of eagles in South Africa. He discusses the existing legal framework and makes a number of recommendations to improve their legal status. Two authors, Laurence Juma and James Tsabora, both from Rhodes University, discuss the possibility of South Africa enacting a new law regulating private military and/or security companies, which they refer to as PMSC's. The seventh article by Johan Kruger and Clarence Tshoose gives a South African perspective on the impact of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 on minority trade unions. In the eight place, Dave Holness offers an analysis of compulsory "live client" clinical legal education as part of the LLB course as a means of improving access to justice for the indigent.
The first note by Pieter du Toit and Gerrit Ferreira discusses the regulation of the possession of weapons at gatherings. Their discussion focuses on the effectiveness of the Dangerous Weapons Act 15 of 2013 and the Regulation of Gatherings Act 205 of 1993. Caroline Ncube considers an appropriate theoretical framework for the harnessing of intellectual property for development in the second note. The last two notes are case discussions. The first one is a discussion of a decision of Law Society of the Northern Provinces v Minister of Labour 2013 1 SA 468 (GNP) by Koboro Selala. The case deals with the right to legal representation at internal disciplinary hearings. The second case discussion is by Reghard Brits who comments on two judgments (Opperman v Boonzaaier (24887/2010) 2012 ZAWCHC 27 (17 April 2012) and National Credit Regulator v Opperman 2013 2 SA 1 (CC)) that deals with the arbitrary deprivation of an unregistered credit provider's right to claim restitution of performance rendered.
The last two contributions of this edition consist of two book reviews by Alexander Paterson (Biodiversity and Climate Change: Linkages at International , National and Local Levels) and Christa Rautenbach (Managing Family Justice in Diverse Societies).

For the best soil protection in all conditions, CLAAS is now able to offer the CARGOS 8500 with a tridem chassis and 30.5-inch tyres – a unique combination in this market segment. The dual-purpose wagon can hold a volume of 41.5 m³ (DIN).
Crab steering protects the soil
The CARGOS 8500 dual-purpose wagon now makes the option of 30.5-inch tyres available to mid-sized contractors, and to farms that operate their own machinery. The new tridem-chassis version of the CARGOS 8500 can be fitted with tyres up to a size of 710/50 R30.5, with the benefit that the large contact area minimises compaction damage to soils that are moist or less able to withstand a load. In combination with the electrohydraulic positive steering, the loader wagon can also be operated in crab-steering mode. In this way, the area driven over is increased still further, and the weight is ideally distributed over a wider area.
Optimal loading, thanks to lowered scraper floor
The controlled pick-up has a working width of 2.0m to pick up the crop cleanly. The large rotor with 22-mm-wide conveying fins ensures efficient, careful handling of the material, and the highest cutting quality.
After chopping, the proven EFFICIENT FEEDING SYSTEM (EFS) delivers the crop directly via the scraper floor, which is lowered by 500 mm, into the wagon interior. Thanks to the steep piling up of the crop during loading, enabled by the lowered scraper floor, the loading volume is utilised completely. The optionally available metering rollers can be removed in no time at all for additional loading volume and rapid unloading in forage transport.
Durable twin knives with individual knife engagement
For easy accessibility when changing the knives, the knife carrier swings out hydraulically and the scraper floor swings upwards. The CLAAS twin knives are sharpened on both edges, and are extremely robust. Their durability guarantees that the 40 knives provide top-quality cutting. On long working days, they can be simply rotated. All knives are individually protected against foreign objects, and are fitted with an automatic blade return. The pre-tensioning of the knives can also be adjusted to different operating conditions, which protects them and helps extend their life.
Automatic articulating drawbar control
Along with the standard option of adjusting the position of the articulating drawbar from the operating terminal, an automatic articulating drawbar is also optionally available for automatic control in loading, transport and headland modes. Thanks to the active control of the drawbar in loading mode, sufficient free space is maintained between the drawbar, rotor and pick-up to ensure optimal crop flow.
ICT assists the driver
With the ICT CRUISE PILOT, CARGOS takes control in the field. It controls the regulation of the forward speed according to the capacity utilisation of the pick-up. The tractor and CARGOS function as a single unit, considerably reducing the drivers' workload and allowing them to concentrate on supervising the work, while greatly boosting throughput rate and efficiency. Additionally, the ICT CRUISE PILOT facilitates a homogeneous crop flow through the even distribution in the loading unit. This ensures an exact cut and top forage quality.
Exact load weight indicator
In combination with hydraulically suspended axles, all models can additionally be fitted with a load weight indicator, enabling total weight and payload to be measured to an accuracy of within ±1%. An optional external display shows the current net payload on the outside of the wagon. This function can be enabled and disabled from the terminal, and provides a simple and convenient way to read just the yield measurement for the forage harvester, directly in the field.

Do you like to garden? I do. My mom has always had the most fantastic green thumb and incredible gardens. On the weekends we used to go to the garden store and come home with all kinds of flowers for the garden. I can still remember walking up and down aisles and aisles of flowers picking out my favorites. I never lost that love and to this day I want to take home almost every plant I see. Which is funny because I can keep outdoor plants alive but tend to kill houseplants. Don't ask me why that is.
Yesterday, Nikolas and I spent most of the day raking up the remnants of autumn from the side yard. We gathered up FOURTEEN bags of leaves and old dead weeds. That part of the yard has been oakley sunglasses cheap left relatively untouched by us as we focused on other parts in the yard. It's a mess. It's is rocky, hilly and grows weeds like I've never seen before. I have so far refused to take photos of it. It's that bad.
As I was raking and raking and raking some more I got to thinking about how I'd love to have a cutting garden somewhere. We've planted a lot of flowers around the yard but none solely dedicated to bringing indoors. I always feel torn about whether I should bring them inside or leave them outdoors to enjoy.
Wouldn't a garden solely dedicated to bringing in armloads of flowers into the house be perfection?

As a Pop Culturalist, I've never found it my job to critique media I do not enjoy, nor do I give much credence to those who do. It's really easy to pick apart even the legitimate shortcomings of media you don't like, but it's hardly productive. Okay, so you found all the problematic elements of content you've established NOT LIKING. Good for fucking you. Now here's a barrel of fish to shoot!
You will never hear me rant about the problematic aspects of the following:
Joss Whedon's universe
Howard Stern
Harry Potter
The Office
Reality TV
BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE THESE THINGS. And state as much up front. No, it does mean I think who people enjoy these thing are bad people. It just means I don't happen to share their passion for these things. I also don't need to hear one more reason why I should be moved to partake in any of these things. Please move your foot so I can close the door. Me no like!
Besides, what would be the point? To prove I know how to pick on an easy target?
There ain't no black people in LOTR. Booyah. I'm done. Okay, I can go out for a soda or something. Joss Whedon's world is like Tori Amos's world, which is like Jesus's world. Possibly great but the followers appear to be large pains in the ass when proselytizing about their savior. Done with that one. The rest are probably self explanatory if you've read my blog for any appreciable length of time.
And that took – what – like a paragraph. Should I waste more of my time analyzing all the ways in which I believe these things to suck with supportive evidence of their suckery? As I say often say, I don't know how many hours your day comes with, but mine only has 24 and I intend to use them wisely.
Honest examination of the media you actually consume means never having to say, "Omg, I can't believe ____ said/did ____!!!" and you won't find yourself so god damned shocked by what was in front of your face all the time. Granted, it's a lot more difficult to unpack and examine media you find enjoyable, but it's work that needs to happen. Ain't no two ways about it. The alternative merely ensures it is always someone's else's heroes, interests or passions that are problematic and never yours.
A version of this previously appeared on Snarky's Machine where I blog daily, and often more than that.

We pay our way; commercial fishermen should, too
Recreational fishing license fees have been increased twice in recent years to meet shortfalls in the Department of Natural Resource's operating budget for the administration of recreational programs. As a result, DNR brings in enough money to fund its sport-fishing management, including police enforcement.
In contrast, commercial license fees have stayed steady for almost 20 years. DNR's increasing costs for managing commercial fishing — administration, research and law enforcement — have been financed by the Maryland taxpayer and the transfer of monies intended for the recreational sector. The shortfall between fees and administration is close to $3 million.
Yellow Perch Appreciation Day
You and your kids are invited to join an annual celebration and yellow perch fishing tournament on March 2 at Community Park in Northeast, Maryland, starting at 9am. Registration and additional information:
Lefty Kreh's Tiefest
Renamed this year for Lefty's 88th birthday party, this annual celebration of the art of fly tying, the 11th, is bigger and better than ever. The event is free if you're a member of Coastal Conservation Association or join at the door. Otherwise it's $10. Rub shoulders with the best and most innovative fly tiers in the country, plus free fly-casting lessons for kids. Food and adult beverages on sale. March 9: 10am-4:30pm at Prospect Bay Country Club, 313 Prospect Bay Drive West, Grasonville: 202-744-5013 (Tony Friedrich); www.ccamd.org.
The yellow perch run is rolling. The Tuckahoe, Choptank, Magothy and Severn are hosting the early runs in the mid-Bay. The Northeast River on the Susquehanna Flats is finally showing some good fish as well.
Hunting Seasons
Canada geese, resident: thru March 6
Last year, legislation was enacted to require all costs associated with the commercial side of DNR operations to be funded by commercial fees. That law was passed with the concurrence of watermen's associations.
New bills before the General Assembly, however, look suspiciously like a cover for getting others to pay for a substantial portion of the commercial funding deficit.
SB 525/HB 1253 — Fishing – Sustainable Fisheries Enforcement Fund – is recommended by the Chesapeake Bay Commercial Fishermen's Association as financial support for Maryland Natural Resource Police. It proposes a $10 license surcharge for both recreational and commercial fishermen. Theoretically, it would be earmarked for the NRP.
That surcharge would bring in $2.5 million by increasing the cost of a recreational fishing license from $15 to $25. The commercial sector's contribution would amount to only $40,000.
Yet NRP budget shortfalls exist solely on the commercial side.
Another bill also shifts the commercial burden. SB 662/HB 1241: Natural Resources – Commercial Fishing – Licensing raises certain annual fees and surcharges for some commercial fishing licenses. The increases generate only about half of the industry's projected funding deficit.
Another provision in the bill requires any purchaser of Maryland seafood for resale to be licensed as a dealer. Apparently this provision would apply to all Maryland supermarkets, seafood stores, private resellers and restaurants. These undefined license fees would begin immediately.
Again the commercial fishing industry intends for someone else to subsidize its cost of operations — as well as demanding an entirely new licensing and inspection process.
Laws already on the books state that the cost of commercial fishing programs be borne totally by fees raised within that sector. The meaning of the statute couldn't be clearer. Why shouldn't legislators and state officials simply insist that the language and intent of the existing law be enforced?
Fair is fair, and the law is the law.

|Diabetic Foot Disease
|Procedure: FDG-PET Imaging
FDG-PET imaging is a promising imaging technique, which has the potential to overcome many of the shortcomings mentioned previously with regard to radiologic and scintigraphic methodologies. FDG is a diagnostic tracer utilized to measure the metabolic rates of normal and abnormal tissues. Many investigators have noted the affinity of FDG for active inflammatory and infectious disorders, such as sarcoidosis, the abdominal abscess, brain abscess, lung abscess, renal abscess, inflammatory pancreatic disease, lobar pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, colitis, sinusitis, myositis, mastitis, vasculitis, deep venous thrombosis, thyroiditis and other infections including those encountered in orthopedic patients.
According to the literature, the most accurate nuclear medicine modality for detecting infection associated with diabetic foot is the labeled WBC method. We hypothesize that FDG-PET imaging has several advantages over this method. Detection of infection by labeled WBC imaging is based upon the assumption that the administered cells will migrate to the sites of infection. Since the majority of the labeled leukocyte preparation consists of neutrophils, inflammatory/infectious processes with a predominantly neutrophilic infiltrate (acute infections) are likely to yield positive results. However, most infections associated with diabetic foot are sub-acute or chronic. Consequently, the dominant inflammatory cells involved are monocytes and lymphocytes. Therefore, labeled leukocytes are unlikely to detect chronic infection since very few monocytes and lymphocytes are labeled. In addition, the previous treatment (antibiotics, etc) can severely reduce the chemotropic effect of bacteria and therefore, fewer leukocytes will migrate to the infectious sites, rendering the labeled leukocyte method ineffective.
In contrast, the uptake of FDG in inflammatory cells reflects "in vivo labeling" of the existing cells at the site of infection soon after the administration of the compound. This would indicate that FDG-PET technique might allow imaging a substantially larger population of cells, which are residing in the area of infection and inflammation. Therefore, in addition to considerable simplification of procedures associated with the labeled WBC method, including the time required to complete the study, this approach may provide higher sensitivity for diagnosing infection in such settings. Furthermore, since FDG uptake does not rely upon leukocyte migration, treatment with antibiotics is less likely to affect its sensitivity in delineating the sites of infection. One possible advantage of the labeled WBC method over FDG-PET imaging is that high serum glucose levels do not appear to have an adverse effect on the test results with the former technique while hyperglycemia is known to decrease tumor cell FDG uptake. However, our preliminary results indicate that high glucose levels do not negatively affect FDG uptake by inflammatory cells. Based on these observations, FDG-PET imaging appears to be an attractive alternative to conventional techniques for the detection of infection.
FDG-PET imaging offers a unique tool for the diagnosis and management of the diabetic foot. Through the establishment of appropriate diagnostic criteria, a PET scan may prove to be highly accurate in localizing deep infections of bone and soft tissue associated with the complicated diabetic foot. By distinguishing these infections from inflammation, it has the potential to become the optimal diagnostic imaging technique with which to diagnose and manage patients with diabetic foot. Therefore, research studies designed to further validate the ability of this technique are essential to achieving this goal.

Inclusion Criteria:
- The 240 patients selected for entry into this study will be men or women of any ethnic background diagnosed with diabetic foot disease by members of the team in the Diabetes Center of the Department of Medicine and the division of Vascular Surgery of the department of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania).
Study I: FDG-PET imaging of patients with diabetic foot without clinical suspicion of osteomyelitis or deep-seated tissue infections The patients must have clinical diagnosis of uncomplicated diabetic foot. Each patient will undergo appropriate evaluation including history, physical examination, standard radiographic evaluation (including MRI), and grading of peripheral neuropathy using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). Patients will be divided into three groups, corresponding to MNSI score of 0-3, 4-8, and 9-13, which we will classify as mild, moderate, and severe, respectively. We intend to enroll 26 patients in each of the first two groups and 27 patients in the third.
Study II: FDG-PET imaging of patients with diabetic foot and clinical suspicion of osteomyelitis or deep-seated infections The patients must have clinical diagnosis of complicated diabetic foot. These patients will be those suspected of having a deep-seated infection and may or may not be scheduled to undergo amputation or debridement of affected tissue. Each patient will undergo an appropriate evaluation including history, physical examination, radiologic examination including MRI, MNSI, and vascular assessment by segmental Doppler pressures and pulse wave recording.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with complications of the foot with etiologies not related to diabetes will be excluded from this study.
