Comfort and Massage
In most of our designs, we provide gender specific and individualized seating, with consideration given to torso length, seat width and jet placement.
Within this system, select seats have a dedicated therapy function – you will see neck and upper back stations, designed to provide stress relief for these common tension trigger points, whereas lower back and lumbar specific stations target the muscles and soft tissues that support the lower back region.
The jetting flow in these stations is tuned to match the size of the muscle groups within that area – large muscle groups have more pressure at their disposal, other seats which target more superficial muscles spread out the jet pressure for a gentler, more general massage.
And, you will also see seats with no jets at all – because at times, a relaxing soak without jets is just what's needed.
We tune the pump wet ends, oversize Reflex Torsion™ hose and use sweep-Y fittings to maintain the desired pressure within the plumbing systems, and use a lot of high volume 5" Pulse™ Jets. More water volume, with a vast range of user-adjustable flow rate, through great Pulse™ Jets equates to great massage.

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion
Page added on March 29, 2013
Corn supplies in the U.S., the biggest grower, are shrinking at the fastest pace in almost four decades as improving demand from ethanol refiners drains reserves already diminished by drought.
Stockpiles probably fell 38 percent in three months to 4.995 billion bushels (126.9 million metric tons) by March 1, the biggest drop since 1975, according to the average of 31 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. AgResource Co. in Chicago and Northstar Commodity Investments Inc. in Minneapolis expect prices to jump 12 percent to $8.25 a bushel before supply rebounds with a record harvest in September.
After idling refining capacity when corn reached a record in August, ethanol plants expanded output since January as falling grain costs and rising fuel prices drove profit margins to a nine-month high. Demand from the industry, which uses two of every five bushels in the U.S., provides the "strongest upside risk" for corn, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said March 11. That's boosting feed costs for meat and dairy producers even as global food prices extend their longest slump since 2009.
"Corn supplies are going to be tighter than we have ever seen," said Kent Jessen, the director of merchandising for West Des Moines, Iowa-based Heartland Cooperative, which has 52 grain terminals across 17 counties. "Some people are going to run out of corn this summer. Ethanol processors are the best bid for corn, and that is drawing supplies away from exporters and livestock producers."
Futures on the Chicago Board of Trade have gained 4.5 percent this month to $7.3525, reaching a seven-week high today. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Agriculture Index of eight commodities is up 2.1 percent, while the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities advanced 1.2 percent. Treasuries were little changed, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Last year's U.S. drought was the worst since the 1930s, cutting U.S. corn production by 13 percent and leaving inventories on Dec. 1 at 8.03 billion bushels, the lowest post- harvest tally since 2003, government data show. Analysts expect a U.S. Department of Agriculture report tomorrow will show March 1 reserves at the lowest for that time of year since 1998.
That's boosting prices for grain available before the Midwest harvests start in five months. Corn futures for delivery in May fetch a premium over the December contract that has surged 63 percent this year and touched a seven-month high of $1.67 a bushel March 20.
Ethanol (ETDIETHP) prices in Iowa, the biggest corn-growing state, jumped 22 percent since Jan. 4, according to the USDA. The industry cut output by as much as 16 percent from a peak in June, after corn surged to a record $8.49 on Aug. 10.
Inventories (DOESFETH) of the fuel that normally increase in the months before the summer driving season tumbled 16 percent since mid-December and are the lowest since almost 15 months, Department of Energy data show. Ethanol is blended with gasoline in most of the U.S.
"The roof is going to blow off the corn market if we don't slow production," said Mark Schultz, the chief analyst for Northstar, a cash-grain trader and broker. "Corn prices could rise to $8.30 to finally shut off demand and prevent regional shortages before the harvest."
Higher prices already reduced demand from livestock and dairy producers that consume about 42 percent of the nation's corn. Feed use slipped to 1.524 billion bushels in the three months ended March 1, from 1.543 billion a year earlier, Dan Cekander, the director of grain market analysis at Newedge USA LLC in Chicago, said in a report to clients on March 19.
Dairy farmers in California, the biggest milk-producing state, cut back to about 5 pounds of corn a day per cow from 15 pounds after local cash prices reached $8.80, according to Joel Karlin, the commodity sales coordinator for Western Milling LLC in Goshen. They switched to cheaper alternative feeds including hay and byproducts from fruit and vegetable processing.
Some corn buyers may wait until the harvest. The USDA said in February that output will rebound to a record 14.53 billion bushels this year with normal weather. The department probably will report tomorrow that planting in April and May will rise to 97.339 million acres, the most since 1936, according to the Bloomberg survey of analysts. Corn futures for delivery in December are 22 percent cheaper than the May contract, and 35 percent of the 1,500 farmers queried by Farm Journal magazine last week said prices will peak this summer.
Stockpiles (UGRSCNTO) also are getting harder to predict because growers are storing more in their own silos rather than paying for space in commercial depots. On-farm storage capacity expanded 1.4 percent from a year earlier to 12.975 billion bushels in December 2012, the most since at least 1989, USDA data shows.
Over the past six years, analysts' estimates for the March 1 inventory missed the USDA tally by an average of 123 million bushels, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's enough corn to feed 15.4 million pigs, or 14 percent of the U.S. herd, until they are big enough to be sold for slaughter. For the 11 quarters since June 2010, the average intraday price swing on the day of the USDA inventory report was 5.6 percent, with prices rising six times and falling five.
While the U.S. cattle herd is shrinking, domestic hog farmers expanded their breeding herd by 0.2 percent to 5.817 million sows on Dec. 1 from a year earlier, according to a quarterly USDA tally. The number of chicks placed on feed in the week ended March 15 was up 1.2 percent from a year earlier.
Demand from the U.S. ethanol industry, which makes fuel almost exclusively with corn, shows few signs of slowing. Production (DOETFETH) jumped 1.5 percent to 809,000 barrels a day in the week ended March 15, the most in three weeks, government data show. The increase means corn will beat soybean and wheat prices in the first half of the year, Damien Courvalin, an analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York, said in a March 11 report.
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), the third-biggest U.S. ethanol producer, said March 15 it restored operations at a plant in Bloomingburg, Ohio, and restarted a mill in Linden, Indiana, on March 22. At least 19 plants had been idled since June, according to the Renewable Fuels Association in Washington.
On March 19, the estimated profit on a gallon of ethanol produced in Iowa reached 22.56 cents a gallon, the highest since June 7, according to cash prices reported by the USDA and compiled by Bloomberg.
"Ethanol production is ramping up at a time when demand needs to be slowing," said Dan Basse, the president of AgResource. "The market has not sent a strong enough signal yet to switch off ethanol production." Corn will need to reach $8.25 before refiners slow purchases, he said.
The premium paid for corn in Iowa has averaged a record 40 cents a bushel over Chicago futures this month, according to Heartland Cooperative's Jessen. Some plants are paying as much as 70 cents more than the May and July contracts on the CBOT.
Marquis Energy, with plants in Illinois and Wisconsin that can produce more than 200 million gallons annually, has been running at full capacity since September, said Mark Marquis, the president and founder. The Hennepin, Illinois-based company has enough corn to last through the next harvest, he said.
U.S. law requires 13.8 billion gallons of ethanol to be blended this year, up from 13.2 billion in 2012. Most gasoline sold at American pumps has about 10 percent ethanol.
Credits (RINSET13) for blending ethanol with gasoline jumped to a record $1.06 a gallon on March 8, from 7.1 cents two months earlier, boosting the incentive to produce more, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The credits that refiners must collect to show compliance with the federal mandate are attached to each gallon of ethanol as it's distilled or imported.
"We should have enough corn through June," said J.B. Daughenbaugh, a grain merchandiser for Gibson City, Illinois- based Alliance Grain Co., which has 40 million bushels of storage capacity at 13 locations in the state. "But July and August will be very tight."
3 Comments on "US corn shortage probable this summer"
Plantagenet on Fri, 29th Mar 2013 4:51 pm
The Obama administration's idiotic corn ethanol program needs to be ended. Its a foolish waste of money to turn food into gasoline.
GregT on Fri, 29th Mar 2013 8:01 pm
When enough people are hungry, the corn for ethanol program will end. When it does, expect gasoline prices in the Us to increase by at least 10 percent.
BillT on Sat, 30th Mar 2013 2:40 am
Unfortunately, the people who will starve are the ones that rely on corn as an import. Fat American's have not been squeezed at the grocery store enough yet. When prices double and their incomes continue to drop, it will be a different story.

Attention all Adele fans: When you're going to her concert, can you please put down the video cameras?
As the "Hello" singer continued her world tour in support of the album "25," one audience member grabbed her attention for not the best reason.
While performing in Verona, Italy, on Sunday evening, Adele couldn't help but ask the fan to enjoy her show without one device.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"Yeah, I want to tell that lady as well, can you stop filming me with a video camera because I'm really here in real life," the Grammy winner said in footage captured on social media. "You can enjoy it in real life, rather than through your camera."
She continued, "Can you take your tripod down? This isn't a DVD, this is a real show. I'd really like you to enjoy my show because there's lots of people outside that couldn't come in."
Musicians Performing Live on Stage
As you may have expected, many audience members began to cheer after Adele made her request. And while we understand the need to snap a photo here or there during a concert, a tripod does seem a little...much.
Besides, there is a whole lot to enjoy if you're lucky enough to score a ticket into one of Adele's shows.
On this tour alone, the "Set Fire to the Rain" singer has twerked on stage, helped a couple get engaged and even forgot a few lyrics. Don't worry, nobody was mad especially with the way she reacted to the innocent mistake.
And lucky for fans in the United States, Adele is about to kick off the North American portion of her tour beginning this July.
While tickets are pretty hard to come by, we're still not losing hope to see Adele perform "Someone Like You" and all her hits live. We promise to leave the tripods at home.

Danny Matznick admits that he used to be pretty glad to see Rock Falls baseball teams lose.
He also admits that there was a time when he was fairly adamant that his son, Quinton, would never play for Rock Falls.
Of course, he admitted all this Thursday while wearing a white T-shirt with black sleeves with "Rock Falls" written in green across the front.
Obviously, attitudes change.
"I never thought I'd allow him to play with Rock Falls," Danny said. "But a few years ago, he was playing on a travel team, and he formed really good friendships with three or four kids from Rock Falls.
"They were good kids. So, we gave him the choice. He was living with me in Sterling at that point, and he decided he wanted to go to Rock Falls. So he moved in with his mother."
Quinton made his decision and moved in with his mother, Heather Matznick, before his freshman year in high school. After playing on the varsity team for Rock Falls High School last spring, he is now a key cog on the Rock Falls Junior League All-Star team.
Danny is one of the coaches for the team.
The team will begin play Saturday in the Central Regional against the North Dakota state champions at 3 p.m. in Fort Worth, Ind.
"I don't think I would have had this opportunity to play at Central Regional if I had stayed in Sterling," Quinton said. "Baseball has a lot of tradition here."
The Matznick family tradition in baseball is rich, but it was once painted in blue and gold.
Danny is one of the best baseball players to walk the halls of Sterling High School. After graduating in 1989, he was drafted in the fourth round by the Chicago White Sox.
He spent that summer on a rookie team in the Gulf Coast League. The next season he moved up to Class a in South Bend of the Midwest League.
He went 10-7 and threw 121 2/3 innings with 127 strikeouts and 82 walks.
The performance moved him up to High-A Sarasota in 1991. He threw 157 1/3 innings that year, going 5-12.
He returned to Sarasota in the spring of 1992. That's when the problems started.
He blew out his elbow, which required Tommy John surgery. After returning from that, he tore his labrum. He ended up having three surgeries on his shoulder to correct that problem. Toss in surgeries to both his knees, and Danny's playing days were numbered.
"I think there are people out there that just think I quit," Danny said. "I just couldn't get cut open anymore. There wasn't any coming back after that."
Danny, who works at the Wal-Mart Distribution Center, has turned his attention to his son.
"It is all about him now," Danny said. "I did a lot of good things in baseball, but I never got to win a state championship or go to a tournament like the Central Regional."
Quinton's love for the game has blossomed over the years, and Danny admits seeing some of himself in his son.
"Initially, I didn't see that 'want to' out of him for baseball," Danny said. "Over the last year, that has really changed. You can tell he has that drive."
Quinton knows the steps that he's following.
"He's definitely tough on me," Quinton said. "But I know that he knows what he is talking about. I am happy he's able to coach me, because I think it helps us be closer."
Danny also admits that he's happy that Quinton has grown up in the Rock Falls baseball culture.
"You know, I always did everything that I could to beat Rock Falls," Danny said. "But you get over here and you see the way they do things at the youth level, and you have to respect it.
"They do such a good job of bringing every player in, and not just the naturally good ones, and making them a part of the team. When those players leave, they are better."

With a nightmare cruise, a papal resignation, President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's thirsty rebuttal, the crew at "Saturday Night Live" had plenty of material this week.
The show began inside the disabled Carnival Triumph, where two cruise ship workers, Diana and Dean (Cecily Strong and Jason Sudeikis) tried to lift the spirits of trapped vacationers.
Unfortunately, news of the nuclear testing in Korea, the killing of Olympian Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend and the pope's retirement didn't exactly calm them down. A series of equally as upset and distraught entertainers complaining about such maladies as "dookie on the walls" didn't help turn around morale either.
U.S. & World
"I know some of you thought it would be funny, and was funny, to lie out on the top deck and spell out 'Kill Us' for the news helicopters," Sudeikis said. "That's not funny. We've got to keep our heads up and we can get through this thing together."
A later "Fox and Friends" segment addressed President Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
To put Obama's comments into perspective, the news show called upon the GOP's favorite rock star, Ted Nugent (Bill Hader), who was in attendance at the address. The gun enthusiast said he objected to all of the speech.
"Obama wants gun control but what we really need to do is take the guns out of the hands of crazy people," he said. "It's not hard to tell who is crazy. Just look at their eyes. The white part and the swirly part. And the third eye of truth."
"Weekend Update" with Seth Meyers also touched on the State of the Union address, when Obama proposed a series of initiatives that he said would help the economy, but not raise the deficit. Obama's plans however did not gain the support of the GOP.
"John Boehner rolled his eyes so hard he saw his brain," Meyers said.
More fun at the GOP's expense continued when Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were heckled for their part in the ongoing Chuck Hagel proceedings.
"They said they would not proceed with the nomination of Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense until the Obama Administration provided more information on last year's Benghazi attacks," Meyers said. "Then and only then would they return to their balcony seats on 'The Muppet Show.'"
Sen. Marco Rubio (Taran Killam) was also a guest on the segment. Rubio explained his apparent nervousness while giving the GOP's rebuttal speech to Obama's State of the Union Address on Tuesday. Rubio gained national headlines this week after lunging for a water bottle and taking a quick swig during the speech.
Meyers asked Rubio how it felt that more Americans were concerned with his "drinking" than the speech itself.
"So what? My mouth got a little dry and I took a drink of water. I mean I don't see the big deal is. We've all been there. You're about to give an important policy speech -- you get a little nervous in the green room and you eat a whole bag of dry roasted peanuts and some beef jerky," he said. "There are hot lights on you. The room isn't ventilated. You're wearing your lucky burlap unitard under your suit. So you do what anyone would do: you suddenly lunge to the side, all the while holding awkward eye contact with the camera. And then you take a drink of water from the tiniest bottle of water anyone has ever seen. And then for no reason, you set the bottle down even farther away. So what? Lets talk about policy."
But once Rubio got his opportunity to discuss policy, the thirst reared its ugly head once again and he could barely talk. This time, Rubio drank so much he had to go to the bathroom.
ESPN correspondent Stephen A. Smith (Jay Pharaoh) also appeared on the show to address the poor play of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers this season.
Oscar winner Christoph Waltz was this week's host. In one sketch, Waltz played The Pope in a Papal retirement insurance sketch. The Alabama Shakes were musical guests.

To hear Juan Vaz tell it, a successful marijuana club in Uruguay is akin to a five-star restaurant.
"Today, we have to whet the palates of club members," said Vaz, the technical adviser of Club Canabico Sativa in Montevideo, the small South American country's capital. "We have to introduce them to the world of gourmet cannabis, which is the differentiator in our club."
Uruguay legalized the drug in 2013, and over the last year has steadily implemented various aspects of the law. Late last year, the government began registering growers clubs, which are allowed to cultivate up to 99 plants and can have a maximum of 45 members.
U.S. & World
The clubs, which are sprouting up in Montevideo, often include giant greenhouses where members can grow plants to their liking and, of course, smoke a joint or two to test a harvest. Members can receive up to 1.4 ounces (40 grams) per month.
While the law has brought many smokers out in the open, the clubs do have several strict regulations. For example, it's illegal to be a club member and home grower at the same time or join more than one club.
Joining Canabico Sativa requires a $400 enrollment fee and then monthly payments of $92. Much of that goes to maintaining the equipment needed to grow top quality weed. The club has dehumidifiers, fans, air conditioning units and carbon filters, all to nurture every step of the plants' development.
Joaquin Fonseca, president of Canabico Sativa, said after each harvest members decide which variety produced the best buds.
"We have very high quality here," he said. "And I'm happy because I get to smoke it."

Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
I'm looking for a new look to this site :
To explain :
this is the website for a small golfing hotel in Ireland
The hotel is a very special hotel - basically down to the owners and the warm welcome.
Its a small hotel so we would like to give the impression of a friendly place via the web design and not a slick hotel website
PLEASE read some reviews to see what the guests say
Feel free to use the photos here
Looking forward to your propositions
I will require a design :
- for a standard page which can be changed(perhaps main image) as you go through the site
- perhaps different color scheme for different area (hotel, ireland, golf, restaurant) .. depends on your proposal really
- perhaps a frontpage also (on previous version we only had a picture of the hotel as frontpage in oval cut - not sure yet but may just go to front page)
looking for something unique and special here - no templatish looking designs please - i can buy those for 50usd myself
Many thanks

Unleash the victor in your system. Designed to pack the power of Ballistix into your gaming laptop, all-in-one, or mini ITX motherboard, Crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMMs arm your system with the speed, power, and efficiency to own your opponents from anywhere.1 Featuring XMP profiles, DDR3 speeds up to 1866MHz, and looks to kill, Ballistix Sport SODIMMs equip your rig to win. Optimized for the latest fourth-generation Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 mobile processors, Ballistix Sport SODIMMs deliver faster speeds, lower latencies, and increased efficiency compared to standard SODIMMs.
Ballistix Sport SODIMMs are engineered to run on 1.35V instead of the standard 1.5V found in most laptop memory modules.2 This decrease in power is substantial – Ballistix Sport SODIMMs can reduce DRAM power consumption in your system by up to 10%. For laptop gamers, the benefits of increased efficiency are obvious: extended battery life, longer remote gaming sessions, and reduced need for cooling.
The performance of your system is often only as powerful and reliable as your memory. Every Ballistix module we manufacture has been tested to meet exacting specifications. If it doesn't meet or exceed the performance levels that we advertise, then it doesn't leave our doors. Your gaming requires precision for the cross hairs. That's how we've built our memory for thirty years and counting.
Crucial is a trusted name when it comes to DRAM, and that's no coincidence. As a brand of Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, we work with our engineers to design, refine, and manufacture DRAM upgrades for more than 50,000 systems. All Crucial DRAM is classified as premium-quality and is extensively tested for performance and reliability before, during, and after the production process.

CAMP INTREPID Gets Official Nod of Approval
Intrepid Co-Founder Sean Cox is no stranger to introducing kids to Shakespeare. As Intrepid's Education Director, he takes a troupe of professional actors to perform in schools on a regular basis. No matter what level of exposure the students have had, there is always one reaction to Intrepid's school tour performances: enthusiasm.
"For most of the students, it's their first Shakespeare play," says Sean. "But the students are always engaged and laughing and positive throughout the performance. It's great for the actors, too. Everyone leaves in a good mood."
Capitalizing on this enthusiasm, Intrepid Shakespeare has partnered with San Dieguito Academy and the City of Encinitas to create a very special selection of offerings for kids this summer – not just one day workshops, but entire weeks of theatre immersion. Sponsored by the San Dieguito Academy Foundation, CAMP INTREPID will feature four different tracks: Young Actors Theatre, Shakespeare, Musical Theatre, and Backstage Camps.
The summer offerings are a long-awaited collaboration between Intrepid and San Dieguito Academy, an extension of their already successful internship program, which has been in place since Intrepid's residency began there in 2010. Currently, Intrepid Artists work with interns during the year to create a student version of Intrepid's mainstage show. This gives students the chance to interact with professional actors and technical directors and put together a culminating performance at the end of the internship. Taking this into a summer program is the next step in theatre education in Encinitas.
"A lot of the kids are looking for summer opportunities, but there's nothing really in Encinitas that is available, or the cost associated with it is really high," says Stephanie Siers, San Dieguito Academy's drama teacher. "Our goal is to offer something that is closer to home and affordable, but still has the same quality that some of camps that are available elsewhere in San Diego."
"Plus," she adds, "everyone wants to get up and work on the grid,"
"The grid" to which she refers is a technically-advanced lighting grid which crowns the mainstage theatre space at the $9 million SDA Performing Arts Center. Aptly labeled the "centerpiece" of the San Dieguito Academy campus, the Performing Arts Center boasts both a beautiful, 200-seat indoor theater as well as a state-of-the-art rehearsal space, both designed by performance hall connoisseur architect John Sergio Fisher.
Since its opening in the fall of 2011, both SDA and the City of Encinitas have been searching for opportunities to make this space more available to the community, and Camp Intrepid has provided that outlet.
With the residency of Intrepid Shakespeare as the city's first professional theatre company, local theatre patrons have been able to enjoy professional performances in the Performing Arts Center throughout the year. Camp Intrepid will provide even more opportunities to bring the arts into the neighborhood through this facility, and the city is eager to support that development.
"One of the 2013 Commission for the Arts goals is to have the community use the new Performing Arts Center at San Dieguito Academy in the summer, when school is not in session," says Jim Gilliam, arts administrator for the City Manager's Office. "The first summer arts program to be offered is by Intrepid Shakespeare—we could not be more pleased."
Beginning June 17 and running through August 19, Intrepid Shakespeare will host a variety of summer theatre arts sessions for a wide spectrum of ages. Thus far, the camps offered will include a Young Actors Theatre Camp (ages 8-15), a Musical Theatre Camp and a Shakespeare Camp (prior experience required, ages 14-18), and a Backstage Camp (ages 14-18). All of the sessions will culminate in a performance and will feature guest artist teachers from local professional theatre companies.
Among the many performing techniques students will experience are audition coaching, movement and dance, and fight choreography, in addition to acting and textual work. Technical campers will have access to the advanced theater facilities, including the state-of-the-art tension grid used for mounting lights that hovers high over the performance space.
Mrs. Siers also hopes that students from the community will discover the opportunities available at San Dieguito Academy by participating in the Summer Theatre Camp and utilizing the facilities. "Our school is known for having an emphasis on the arts," she explains. "This will be a great opportunity for students to be in our space, meet new people, and to work with the Intrepid Artists."
Intrepid's co-founders could not be happier about exposing more kids to Shakespeare and theatre through these summer sessions.
"It's really inspiring for us who have made this our career to see the younger generation enthusiastic and passionate about theatre and performance and Shakespeare," says Sean.
While Intrepid will run the theatre camps during the day, they will also be in full production on A Midsummer Night's Dream: the Musical, their second show of Season Four, which will rehearse and perform in the evenings. To the City, this presents the perfect marriage of encouraging and celebrating theatre arts.
"The community will participate in daytime theatre camps for children and youth, and in the evening, enjoy performances in the Liggett Theater by our professional theatre company," says Jim Gilliam. "This new partnership could not be possible without the assistance of the San Dieguito Academy Foundation and the school administration. We hope more arts programs will come online for this summer and are working with local arts organizations."
"This camp is really an extension of us reaching out into the community," says Sean. "Ever since we moved to Encinitas, we knew this was something we wanted to do."
He adds, "Most of us took some sort of drama camp when we were younger, so we know what kind of memories and experiences that can build." — T.T.
For more information and to register for Camp Intrepid, click here. Camps will be held on the campus of San Dieguito Academy, 800 Santa Fe Drive, Encinitas. June 17 – August 16. One or two week sessions, depending upon track. Ages 8-18.

Advertising usually doesn't offer the consumer anything of real tangible value — other than a few funny one-liners to toss around. But a new Ask.com campaign running in Seattle dubbed "You Asked, We Answered" is looking to make life a little bit easier around here.
The online question-and-answer site polled Seattle residents during a two-week period last month about what they would most like to see happen in the city this summer, from easing the morning commute to reducing stadium traffic to refilling the wading pools at city parks. Now, the company is in the midst of delivering on the promises.
It started on May 29th when the company handed out free coffee and mugs at Park & Ride locations throughout the city. Now, here comes the latest effort.
After the Mariners' games on June 16, 17, 30 and July 1, Ask.com will employ a fleet of free pedicabs to transport fans to their cars, local pubs or other establishments near the stadium.
Next up, the company is planning to donate funds to make sure wading pools at East Queen Anne, Powell Barnett and Wallingford are filled up on Saturdays throughout the summer.
"We've shifted our marketing focus to a highly-targeted local strategy and Seattle continues to be a top market for us, especially when it comes to connectivity on mobile devices," said Valerie Combs, a spokesperson at Ask.com. "We want to show the community a little love and while we can't permanently do away with those 520 bridge tolls or promise more sunshine, we can make their days a little easier."
Ask.com, the unit of IAC formerly known as Ask Jeeves, needs to do all it can in order to catch up in search. According to a comScore report out yesterday, the company's share of the search market stood at just three percent in May, well behind Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.
What do you think? Effective ad campaign? Or, are these corporate types just buttering us up?

So it seems I may have an opportunity to receive stem cell treatment in S. Korea at Dr. Kims Stem cell Clinic (http://www.kmhglobal.com/department/...em-cell-clinic) for my c4-c5 paralysis. Before I make a decision there are still more questions that need to be answered. I was curious if anyone has heard of this clinic and if they could offer any professional insight. We are having a phone conference meeting this Friday to get a little more information and clarity.
Supposedly the Korean government will decide whether they will cover the cost of my flight and treatment at the end of this month as part of a documentary they are filming as a public relation with the US. I'm unsure of what to do but I think I'd be foolish not to, at the very least, listen to what they are talking about.

Spike: Tell you what I'll do then. I'll head out, find this girl, tell her exactly where you are and then watch as she kills you. Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all? Just because I can't do the damage myself doesn't stop me from aiming a loose cannon your way. And here I thought the evening would be dull.
Spike: You know why I really hate you, Summers?
Faith: 'Cause I'm a stuck-up tight-ass with no sense of fun?
Spike: Well... Yeah, that covers a lot of it.
Faith: 'Cause I could do anything I want, and instead I choose to pout and whine and feel the burden of Slayerness? I mean, I could be rich. I could be famous. I could have anything. Anyone. Even you, Spike. I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed of. I could squeeze you until you pop like warm champagne and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more. And you know why I don't? Because it's wrong.
Tara: Face-punching, I'm not so good with the whole... (Punching the air)

I would like to render OSM map tiles where certain elements are styled according to their attributes, for example, a roads colour is based on its length, or an area is coloured based on its size.

NEW RECALL: Red Flannel Dry Dog Food Recalled By Mars Petcare
Mars Petcare is recalling the 50-pound variety of its Red Flannel-brand Large Breed Adult Formula Dry Dog Food due to salmonella risk. The Red Flannel dog food recall specifically covers only Pennsylvania. The salmonella risk applies to cats, dog as well as to humans.
A vague warning regarding salmonella was issued last week without the mention of Red Flannel dog food. We covered the dog and cat food salmonella warning on August 14th.
According to Mars Petcare, only three bags of Red Flannel dog food had been sold in Reedsville, PA and Richlandtown, PA. Only one bag has yet to be returned.
Full press release is below.
(Related News: Krasdale Gravy brand dog food was also recalled due to salmonella risk.)
Select Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula Dry Dog Food 50lb Bags Voluntarily Recalled in Pennsylvania
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Mars Petcare US, Inc. today announces a voluntary recall of select 50 lb bags of Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry dog food sold in two stores in Pennsylvania. Only three bags of product were actually sold, with only one bag still unaccounted for. The pet food is being recalled because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if there is cross contamination, in people, especially children, the aged, and people with compromised immune systems.
The recalled product should not be sold or fed to pets. Pet owners should dispose of product in a safe manner (example, a securely covered trash receptacle) and return the empty bag to the store where purchased for a full refund.
Recalled pet food
Product: Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry dog food
Size: 50 pound bag
UPC Code: 4286900062
Best By Date: July 12, 2008
Best By Date Location: Back of bag
Affected Stores: The stores are located in Reedsville, PA and Richlandtown, PA
Mars Petcare is issuing this action out of an abundance of caution and it sincerely regrets any inconvenience to pet owners as a result of this announcement. This voluntary recall has been issued because FDA detected Salmonella in a sample of Red Flannel Large Breed Adult Formula dry dog food with a best by date of July 12, 2008 during a recent review.
In an effort to prevent the transmission of Salmonella from pets to family members and care givers, the FDA recommends that everyone follow appropriate pet food handling guidelines when feeding their pets. A list of safe pet food handling tips can be found at:
This product UPC has been blocked from retail sale at these locations.

Success story
Government aid program improves social service within budget
Mexico's Secretariat of Social Development (SEDESOL) needed to improve the largely community project-based infrastructure of its Oportunidades program in order to meet its growing demands and user base. With governmental austerity measures limiting their budget, SEDESOL implemented Red Hat® JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform, along with Red Hat Consulting and Training services, to boost system availability, decrease costs, increase scalability, and implement best development practices.
Customer Since
Mexico City, Mexico
Government industry
- Cisco Unified Computing System
The key is to do more with less, and it was for this reason that open source software implementation became a perfect solution.Emilio Patricio Gómez, deputy general director of Information Systems and Technological Development of the National Coordination of the Human Development Program Oportunidades, Mexico
Oportunidades program gets mandate to increase efficiency
At the end of 2006, Mexico's federal government implemented a new law driving austerity measures for public expenses. With the slogan, "Do more with less," the law promotes the efficient and transparent use of public resources. The law governs public resources to programs that focus on or promote economic progress, social security, and education.
One such program was the National Coordination of the Human Development Program Oportunidades, a social assistance program within the Secretariat of Social Development (SEDESOL). Oportunidades provides education, health, and nutrition incentives to Mexican families in extreme poverty.
Program serves 37 million
The program covers the entire country, coordinating interaction between 37 million Mexican citizens and three key agencies: SEDESOL, the Secretariat of Public Education, and the Secretariat of Health.
Each family receives benefits on a monthly payroll, and payments are further broken down into categories like nutrition, education, and energy expenses. That creates a complex system and large amounts of data to be processed, with many people relying on that for monthly benefits. Oportunidades needed automated, reliable, secure, and high-performing solutions to keep the program going.
Operations must support growth
To align with a new law, Oportunidades had to make its operations and resource management more efficient. The program required an updated system that would scale to support a growing amount of data as the number of registered participants increased.
"The technology is important because we work with a wide register of 6.5 million active families that receive benefits from the program," said Emilio Patricio Gómez, deputy general director of Information Systems and Technological Development of the National Coordination of the Human Development Program Oportunidades.
Benefit help expands
SEDESOL determined two main problems:
- An expanding user base, as more families required assistance and were registered on the payroll
- Increased demand for nutritional benefits as a result of the growing user base
Enterprise support needed
Developers with Oportunidades had already begun using community developer tools and software, but as the program and user base grew, the need for enterprise support and consulting services became apparent. However, all of these improvements had to be achieved within the new budgetary constraints.
Oportunidades needed a high-availability solution with agile data processing that could keep up with a rapidly increasing number of users and data. Additionally, the registration system needed to process applications automatically and without errors.
"The key is to do more with less, and it was for this reason that open source software implementation became a perfect solution," said Gómez.
Oportunidades improves IT performance while using existing hardware
Oportunidades was able implement Red Hat solutions while taking advantage of existing hardware and software including Red Hat Enterprise Linux®, Oracle Database, and a Solaris operating system.
Oportunidades developed the main system with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP). The team had experience with JBoss community projects, and they knew what resources Red Hat had to offer with the enterprise version of this software. Going with JBoss EAP also allowed them to meet the budgetary restraints imposed by the new austerity law.
Keeping families responsible
One important job of the organization is to certify the co-responsibility of the families receiving benefits. Families must commit to certain actions, such as sending children to school and attending healthcare seminars, in order to earn program benefits. The system receives information from 45,000 entities around the country and consolidates this data for the creation of the monthly payroll.
"The expertise of Red Hat's consultants has allowed us to achieve an ongoing improvement but, above all, to assemble the first modules of a high-availability scheme—and within the constraints of a limited governmental planning," said Gómez.
Program taps Red Hat support
Realizing that they needed help introducing the new Red Hat solutions, Oportunidades called on Red Hat Consulting to guide them through the process. Red Hat Consulting and Red Hat Training taught Oportunidades developers best practices for both development and implementation.
Program provides better service, reduces expenses by 40%
Expenses reduced 40 percent
By both implementing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and taking advantage of Red Hat Consulting services, the Oportunidades program was able to reduce its expenses by 40% over what a similar investment in proprietary software would have cost.
"The main benefit for the Mexican federal government is the reduction of development costs without sacrificing the use of best practices, thanks to Red Hat's consulting services," said Gómez.
Oportunidades also instituted a government resource planning system in order to control operations, reduce data processing time, and achieve high availability.
Faster response time
The high availability of the program's core system, the Co-responsibility Certification Information System, allows staff to better assist their 45,000 users. Even during the 25 most critical days of operation every two-month period when there may be 35,000 simultaneous users, response times have dropped from microseconds to a matter of milliseconds.
"Before the migration to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, we spoke of having a 95% availability; that figure is now at three nines (99.9%)," said Gómez.
Operations improve
Operational costs have also decreased; since the new application was introduced, the cost of an average three tons of paper during each two-month period has been eliminated.
"I recommend using Red Hat solutions, tools, and also services; it represents an advantage for achieving the optimized coordination that the program required," said Gómez.
Future holds more Red Hat benefits
The implementation has been limited, but Oportunidades expects the benefits of future datacenter updates to be even higher. Red Hat services have also given the program the insight to identify areas that need improvement in the near future to ensure increasingly robust, flexible, and functional applications in the long term.
"With the renovation of Oportunidades' application platform in the medium term, we will be able to adequately tune up the application, and we will do so under the guidance of Red Hat," said Gómez.

This blog is dedicated to travel & flyfishing, to the nature of the Siberia & Pacific coast of Northern Asia, wilderness trips, and environment protection. I think, flyfishing is the top of sport fishing - the most complicated and "fair" fishing method. Flyfishing is for those who is aware of the fragility and vulnerability of nature. When I can not fly fish (too cold), I tie flies and fish through the ice. My websites are http://flyfishingrussia.com/ and http://xapuyc.ru/

Cloud computing is helping developers increase software delivery, according to a recent survey, with nearly 26 percent of developers in a recent survey releasing updates or new versions at least once a day, while more than 63 percent release at least once a week.
Evans Data's Cloud Development Survey, conducted late last year, tabulated responses from 436 developers who either deploy to clouds or use cloud-based development tools; results were released this week. In addition to developers releasing rapid updates or new releases via the cloud, Evans also found that 51 percent feel cloud computing in general will improve coordination between development and operations and thus assist with continuous delivery.
Developers, said Evans analyst Michael Rasalan, are beginning to see value in publishing applications more quickly in the cloud. "A lot of this just comes down to the ability to efficiently provide updates and bug fixes dynamically."
ISVs are the most likely to release software quickly, with 45.7 percent releasing updates daily and 73.6 percent updating at least weekly. In comparison, just 12.9 percent of internal corporate enterprise developers make daily releases, while 66.4 percent make them at least once per week. ISVs can be smaller and more agile, while corporate developers might face organizational resistance to quicker application deployments. "The main thing is sometimes, it's just the scale of the organizations," Rasalan said.
ISV and corporate developers have different opinions on cloud and devops as well. For ISVs, 76.6 percent think the cloud will improve coordination between development and operations, and 9.9 percent think it will make it worse. Internal developers in the corporate enterprise are evenly split, with 35 percent believing the cloud will improve coordination and 35.9 percent expecting it to make things worse. Another 22.3 percent of internal developers believe the cloud will erode the need for operations completely.
Evans has conducted its cloud development survey every six months for the past five years.

SKF Explorer steel/steel plain bearings
Virtually maintenance-free and extremely robust
SKF Explorer steel/steel spherical plain bearings are initially lubricated and sealed to eliminate the need for relubrication in applications with low to moderate levels of contamination, such as those in off-highway applications. This generates significant savings by reducing maintenance costs and grease consumption. These virtually maintenance-free1) bearings also improve reliability by eliminating failures due to missed lubrication intervals and improper lubrication practices. All of this adds up to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
SKF Explorer steel/steel plain bearings have been optimized to provide field performance advantages. Combining improved corrosion resistance, heavy-duty sealing and a relubrication-free design with a steel/steel sliding combination makes SKF Explorer steel/steel plain bearings more robust than ever. Plus, extensive research and testing under extreme loads has resulted in increased dynamic load ratings for SKF Explorer steel/ steel plain bearings, an increase of 50% when compared to conventional steel/steel bearings.
- Lubricated for life
- Optimized tribological system
- Increased robustness
- Longer service life compared to conventional steel/steel spherical plain bearings
- High degree of corrosion and wear resistance
- Heavy duty 3-lip seals with metal insert
- Increased dynamic load rating by 50%
- Dimensionally interchangeable with conventional steel/steel spherical plain bearings
End user benefits
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduced grease consumption
- Increased uptime
- Improved reliability
- Reduced environmental impact
- Retrofitable and interchangeable
OEM benefits
- Improved differentiation in the market
- Reduced operation costs for customers
- Reduced environmental impact
- Reduced warranty claims
- 1) Virtually maintenance-free means that the bearing should function as intended without being relubricated as long as the tribological system is not compromised. The term maintenance-free does not imply that these bearings should not be inspected as part of a regularly scheduled maintenance programme.

Said Valerie Eliot, the second wife of T.S. Eliot. "He was made for marriage, he was a natural for it, a loving creature, and great fun, too." She died last week at the age of 86. He died in 1965 at the age of 76.
After her husband's death, Mrs. Eliot was wounded by criticism that he had been cold and self-absorbed, that he had been an anti-Semite, that his treatment of his first wife had been ruthlessly self-serving. She rarely responded publicly, though the release in 1994 of a movie about Eliot's first marriage, "Tom & Viv," starring Willem Dafoe and Miranda Richardson, prompted her to [defend] her husband on every front, even producing copies of letters to refute the film's unflattering assertions, including a scene in which Vivienne pours melted chocolate into the Faber & Faber mailbox after being unable to get into the office.It was all about ice cream and chocolate and cheese and Drambuie and Scrabble and cards and... poetry!
The doors at Faber were always open, Mrs. Eliot said, so the chocolate story was a fabrication.
"What Tom did like was vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce," she added. "He was eating it in a restaurant once and a man opposite said, 'I can't understand how a poet like you can eat that stuff.' Tom, with hardly a pause, said, 'Ah, but you're not a poet,' and went on eating."

Apple Sweet Potato Side
Mother never used a recipe, so for years, there were no written instructions to make this dish. When the memories of this Thanksgiving side dish began to haunt me, I set out to duplicate this comfort food, which took me many tries. It bakes in the oven with other foods, needing little attention. -Opal Sanders, Glouster, Ohio
Total TimePrep: 1 hour Bake: 30 min.
Makes12 servings
- 5 medium sweet potatoes (2-1/2 pounds)
- 4 cups sliced peeled tart apples (about 4 medium)
- 3/4 cup thawed apple juice concentrate
- 1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons cold water, divided
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 7-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover and cook for 30-45 minutes or until tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice potatoes.
- Place apples in a large saucepan and cover with water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Place apples and sweet potatoes in a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine apple juice concentrate, 1-1/2 cups water, sugars and salt. Combine cornstarch with remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into apple juice concentrate mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
- Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted. Pour over potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.

Hotel Rila Reviews
Fantastic location if you don't mind a bit of noise at night as the partying is on your doorstep. Our rooms were facing the slopes so the rooms across the hall might be a quieter option. The seating / bar area gets very smoky especially in the morning while everyone is having coffee and in the evening before and after dinner. There is also a small casino in the hotel.

Washington expresses support for replay system
ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Ron Washington won his first replay challenge in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against the Phillies when Ben Revere was picked off second base. Washington also considered a challenge earlier in the inning when the Rangers just missed throwing out Cesar Hernandez at third base on Revere's sacrifice bunt.
Both times Washington went out to discuss the play with the umpire while waiting for a signal from the bench. The Rangers' process has advance scout Joey Prebynski watching on television in the clubhouse and he then sends word to bench coach Tim Bogar if the Rangers should challenge or not. Bogar then signals Washington on the field while he is still in discussion with the umpires.
Washington said so far the process is working for two reasons. One is the umpires are being patient in giving Washington time to decide on a challenge or not.
"The umpires are very cooperative," Washington said. "They want to get it right too."
Secondly, Washington said the Rangers are getting the information quickly from Prebynski to Bogar to the manager on the field. On Tuesday, Bogar signaled Washington not to challenge the first play, but to do so on the pickoff.
"It has been quicker than I expected," Washington said. "I expected I would have to jaw a little bit before I get the signal."
There could be a time when Prebynski is undecided and Washington said, "Then I'll go with what I feel in my gut."

Packing for a flight out of Los Angeles last spring, Evan Roth placed a steel plate in his carry-on bag. The phrase "Nothing To See Here" had been cutout of the metal with a laser. As his bag passed through the airport X-ray machine, the Transportation Security Administration screener burst out laughing. "He started calling over other TSA agents to look at it," Roth recalls. "Some of them thought it was funny and some of them thought it was horrible. You could get the whole spectrum of reactions in that one pass through security."
Roth's stunt was part of an ongoing artwork he calls TSA Communication. He puts steel plates bearing messages—"Mind Your Own Business," "Thanks For Being You"—through airport security, then documents the reactions in photographs and videos. They're posted on his website, evan-roth.com. That project and others have earned Roth the 2012 Design Award for interactive work from the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
Access for All
"The beauty of Evan's work is that it explores 'interaction' to the fullest," says John Jay, executive creative director of the advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy and chairman of the design awards jury. Unlike a lot of interactive, computer-based design, Jay says, "his work is also based upon open-source technology and philosophy, so everyone can participate."
By using open source technology, lasers and a super strong project, artists were able to engage in high-tech graffiti art, projecting temporary designs onto the sides of buildings hundreds of meters away, as shown in this photograph.

Managing Director & Partner, Vienna
At BCG, Storytellers synthesize complex information and ideas. They believe in bringing the whole team together to get a broader perspective. Sabine goes deep to understand challenges.
A good BCG project for me has to do with finding the right "story" behind the parts—to find what really drives success, what really motivates teams, what really convinces a customer.
I enrolled in physics and philosophy at university because I felt these were the topics that came closest to explaining the entire world. However, soon I realized that I was learning only very little details; I kind of missed the big picture and could not see any real impact from my research.
At BCG, I do not strive to understand the entire world, but I have found out that helping to solve a client's problems is a very rewarding experience.
And I have also been fascinated by how much I learn every day—about questions and industries I did not know existed. I think this is unique to BCG—to help people learn new things while making use of their background. There is a great openness of spirit among all BCGers. They made me feel welcome from the very beginning, even with my non-economist questions.
Sabine studied physics in Germany and France while working as a freelance journalist. She obtained her PhD in physics from Université Paris VI. At BCG, she focuses on energy companies and operations topics.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I just love the continuous and intense search for the best solution, and the intellectual honesty with which that search is driven. When somebody challenges an intermediate result, and it is clear that his challenge is valid, a BCG team will never try to hide that point but instead will work hard until a better or more convincing solution is found.
Q: What did you learn in your first year on the job?
A: I learned that the story behind the details might be even more important than the details themselves. And this was new to me as a scientist—but it would have valuable for the scientist, too. Good solutions can always be told in a way that everybody can understand—and this story needs to be found as much as the details behind it need to be right.
Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to work at BCG?
A: Be open. Each team and each project has so much to give: new challenges, new things to learn, maybe even new friends. And these things don't always come from where you would have expected them. I have seen numerous young colleagues who were convinced they wanted to work in a certain industry—just to find their passion somewhere entirely different. As for myself, I would never have expected to stay at BCG more than two or three years. It has been very surprising for me that I just kept on liking my work so very much that I did not want to stop.

Indian-Spiced Baked Potato Cakes (Adapted from CL)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups shredded baking potato
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
sour cream
Preheat oven to 400
In a small skillet, heat oil over medium. Add mustard and cumin seeds to pan - cook until the mustard seeds pop, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and scoop the mixture, with 1 teaspoon of salt, into a mortar - use the pestle to mash and crush the mixture.
Squeeze the shredded potato to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, toss together potato, the mashed spice mixture, canola oil, turmeric and peppers. Scoop the mixture out using a 1/3 cup measuring utensil and place on a baking sheet coated with nonstick spray. Flatten each potato cake until it is about 1/2" thick.
Bake until golden, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove and turn the potato cakes over - continue to make for an additional 5 minutes. Serve each with a dollop of sour cream.
Makes about 5 servings.

Media and CultureU.S. History
These are the two major policies of financial repression currently in use: negative interest rates and quantitative easing.
Sanders's and other progressives' blustering about "morality" is really a smokescreen designed to distract from their vision of a society organized around the threat of government aggression against innocents who simply want to mind their own business.
Corporate WelfareTaxes and Spending
If I were a corporate shill, the last thing I'd want is a free-market, laissez-faire economic system.
U.S. EconomyU.S. History
The modern norm is that economic growth causes measured income inequality to increase. But to have greater income equality and greater economic growth. It simply requires more free market policies and less government interventionism.
Most income inequality stats provide a cloudy and confusing picture of the real situation. Even worse, these stats are used to justify a wide variety of tax hikes and government interventions.
World History
Unlike the Versailles peace, which failed horribly, the successful episodes of peacemaking — Westphalia, Vienna, and even the process that ended World War II — had in common extended multi-lateral negotiations and compromise.

Facing Outwards: Australian private international law in the 21st century
10 April 2013
To register and make your secure online payment, please CLICK HERE
The nation's prosperity depends not only on the willingness of its businesses to export goods and services, and of its citizens and residents to travel to take advantage of opportunities overseas, but also on the willingness of the businesses and citizens of other nations (in particular in the Asia-Pacific region) to come to Australia to do business.
Economic expansion, and parallel increases in tourism and immigration, have brought Australians into more frequent contact with the laws and legal systems of other nations. At the same time, the legal systems of Australia are faced with a growing number of disputes involving foreign facts and parties. Against this background, the Attorney-General's current review of Australian private international law is timely and calls for debate as to the best way forward in terms of policy and substantive rulemaking.
This conference, jointly organised by Sydney and Griffith Law Schools, brings together experts from Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe to consider the recent and future development of the law in this area.
