First Utility Super League XIX Round 3 Review
Week 3 of the First Utility Super League saw impressive win for the four sides with 100% records St Helens, Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers and Widnes Vikings.
Wigan and Warrington both got off the mark, but Catalans Dragons, London Broncos and Wakefield all remain winless as below we review all the action:
Salford Red Devils 0
St Helens 38
Tries: Wilkin, Walsh, Percival 2,
Amor, Laffranchi
Goals: Walsh 7
Att: 6,353
Salford City Reds suffered their first defeat of the season as they were shut out by St Helens at the AJ Bell Stadium.
After Back-to-back wins in their opening two games, the Red Devils were looking to top the table for the first time in the summer era as they took on another unbeaten side St Helens.
Once again Luke Walsh was instrumental in dictating play for the visitors and it was no surprise when his short pass got prop Kyle Amor into space and he offloaded for Jon Wilkin to touchdown for the games first score.
Tom Makinson then made a break and on hand was Walsh to finish things off as St Helens moved into a 12-0 lead. Salford 'defence was much better for the rest of the first half as Saints kept their lead at the interval.
The Red Devils made a good start to the second half but they could not breach St Helens line and a breakaway on 50 minutes pretty much settled the game.
Sia Soliola picked up Tim Smith's kick and he raced 40 metres up field before sending in Mark Percival who touchdown. Walsh added his third goal before Amor powered his way over the line to make it 24-0.
Walsh added a penalty goal on 63rd-minute penalty before Salford suffered more misery as Anthony Laffranchi crashed over and Percival rounded things off by claiming a double as St Helens continue their great start to the 2014 season.
Catalans Dragons 12
Tries: Oldfield, Phillippe-Baile
Goals: Barthau 2
Leeds Rhinos 40
Tries: Moon, Delaney, Briscoe, Ablett,
Hall2, Sinfield
Goals: Sinfield 6
Att: 6,300
Leeds Rhinos made it three from three as they eased past an injury hit Catalans Dragons at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium in Perpignan.
With the strong arctic wind blowing off the Pyrenees, the Rhinos felt at home as they travelled to the South of France to take on a depleted Dragons side missing no fewer than eight regulars who were looking for their first win this year.
The home side started well and opened the scoring through Michael Oldfield following good play from a scrum down the short side. William Barthau converted, but this was as good as it got for the Frenchside as Leeds finally got a foothold in the game.
Joel Moon got things underway for the Rhinos by exchanging passes with Ryan Hall to go over out wide. Kevin Sinfield, who earlier in the week had been ruled out with an ankle injury, converted off the touchline.
Leeds then added another soon after as Brett Delaney raced onto Paul Aiton's flat pass from dummy half meters from the line.
On the half hour mark, try number three arrived as Sinfield and Kallum Watkins combined to send Tom Briscoe away down the right touchline and the winger scored his fifth try of the season by showing real pace to hold off the oncoming defenders.
Sinfield kicked his third goal as the visitors went into the break with an 18-6 lead and they continued their dominance at the start of the second half as they added two quick scores to end any hope for Catalans.
Carl Ablett went through a huge hole after good work by Rob Burrow, before Ryan Hall added the other after finishing a flowing move before the poor Dragons could even touch the ball.
Catalans got some consolation in the 52nd minute with Jean-Phillipe Baile getting on the end of Barthau's kick on the sixth tackle
However, the visitors soon regain their scoring touch and skipper Sinfield finished off a flowing move after great handling by Zac Hardaker and Watkins.
In the last play of the game Moon superb one handed offload sent Hall over in the left hand corner as Leeds continued their flying start to 2014 as Catalan remain at the wrong end of the table still looking for a first win.
Hull KR 10
Tries: Green, Caro
Goals: Burns
Castleford Tigers 30
Tries: Owen 3, Sneyd, Holmes
Goals: Sneyd 5
Att: 7,022
Castleford Tigers turned in another strong performance to deny Hull KR at KC Stream Craven Park.
The in-form Tigers with a 100% record intact looked for their first at Hull KR in Super League who were hoping for their first win of the season after a come from behind draw at Huddersfield last time out.
After starting well Rovers finally broke down a stubborn Tigers defence as James Green took scrum-half Kris Keating's short pass near the line to crash over and Travis Burns added the goal to make it 6-0.
Keating then fumbled the ball from the re-start and that gifted Castleford the position for Weller Hauraki and Michael Channing to get Richard Owen over for his first of two tries in eight minutes, the next arrived when the right winger leapt above Greg Eden to collect Liam Finn's high kick.
Another pinpoint kick from Finn set up Frankie Mariano for his first try for the Tigers and with Marc Sneyd's third goal the visitors led18-6 after 26 minutes.
Finn was then sin-binned for what appeared to be a leg twist on centre Kris Welham, but they continued to defend well until the numbers caught up with then as Omari Caro scored Rovers' second try on the stroke of half-time.
Hull KR dominated most of the second half as they penned Castleford inside their own half but the Tigers withstood everything thrown at them and hit back in the last 13 minutes to claim the points.
Oliver Holmes crossed wide out for their fourth try before Owen completed his hat-trick five minutes from the end, with Sneyd making it five from five in another good win for the Tigers.
Widnes Vikings 22
Tries: Hanbury, Clough, Mellor, Owens
Goals: Tickle 3
Huddersfield Giants 20
Tries: McGillvary, Cudjoe, Crabtree
Goals: Brough 4
Att: 5,577
Widnes Vikings stunned Huddersfield Giants with a late comeback to claim the points at the Select Security Stadium.
After having a week off due to Wigan's involvement in the World Club Challenge, Widnes were looking for their second win against Huddersfield Giants who were looking to get back to winning ways after they surrendered a lead last week against Hull KR to only get a point.
The opening try came after 10 minutes when Vikings full-back Hanbury spilled a Danny Brough kick and Jermaine McGillvary pounced.
Widnes responded well but another mistake led to Leroy Cudjoe intercepting a Danny Craven pass and racing 80 metres to score. Brough converted to make it 10-0.
Hanbury made amends for his earlier error as he side-stepped his way over the line 10 minutes before the break and just on half-time , Widnes added their second score when on-loan Saints forward Paul Clough crashed over from short range.
Danny Tickle added the extras as the home team claimed a narrow 12-10 advantage.
The Giants were soon back ahead after the resumption as big prop Eorl Crabtree showed his strength to power over the line.
Brough then slotted over two penalty goals to increase the led to 20-12 but déjà Vue struck as the Giants surrendered another winning lead for the second week running.
Joe Mellor nipped over to get the Vikings back into the game and the comeback was complete when Jack Owens appeared to have been halted in a three-man tackle in the left corner and somehow the ball came out for Hanbury to score the all important try.
There was still time for Huddersfield to snatch it but Widnes held firm to claim a superb comeback win.
Bradford Bulls 25
Tries: Gale, Sidlow, Addy, Olbison
Goals: Foster 4
Drop Goal: Gale
London Broncos 12
Tries: Minns, Cunningham
Goals: Drinkwater 2
Att: 8,500
Bradford Bulls claimed a valuable win against other relegation candidates London Broncos at
After being docked six points in midweek for entering administration for the second time, the Bulls needed a win against the London Broncos also tipped for relegation.
The Londoners gave debuts to Ben Farrah, Josh Drinkwater and Nick Slyney, but it was Bradford who got the dream start when ex Bronco Luke Gale scored next to the posts after 11 minutes.
Adam Sidlow crashed over the line to double the host's advantage before the visitors hit back immediately when Thomas Minns, on a season-long loan from Leeds, touched down Scott Moore's kick to the corner.
Both teams came close to scoring but due to errors there were no further scores as Bradford led 12-6 at the break.
The game continued in a scrappy manor until just after the hour-mark, James Donaldson broke clear and fed Danny Addy who scored the Bulls third try of the game.
Thirteen minutes from time substitute James Cunningham gave London some hope.
But it was not the Broncos day as Gale landed a drop goal and Tom Olbison added a try in final five minutes to leave Bradford on minus 2 points just 2 behind their opponents at the bottom end of the table.
Warrington Wolves 18
Tries: Ratchford, Waterhouse, Evans
Goals: Ratchford 3
Hull FC 16
Tries: Houghton, Lineham, Talanoa
Goals: Crooks 2
Att: 10,276
Warrington Wolves held on to claimed their first win of the campaign as they edged past Hull FC at the H.J. Stadium.
After successive defeats to St Helens and Leeds, Warrington were desperate to get their season up and running as they faced a Hull side who themselves were looking to improve on their stuttering start to the campaign.
Needing a good start, the Wolves delivered after just five minutes when on the last tackle Richard Myler's kick was collected by Ratchford who scored and then converted his own try.
Hull got a foothold in the game and after coming close on two occasions they finally levelled things up on 12 minutes when Mickey Paea setup the position for Danny Houghton to dart over from dummy half.
The lead did not last long as Micky Higham played in ex Kangaroo Trent Waterhouse to score an unconverted try.
A superb break by Ratchford from his own was halted by FC's Jamie Shaul, who then held down the Warrington Full-Back too long and this led to him being put in the Sin-bin.
With the extra man advantage, the hosts scored their third try of the half as Gareth O'Brien's kick was pounced on by Ben Evans. Ratchford added the extras plus a last minute penalty to give his side an 18-6 lead at the interval.
The heavens opened at the start of the second half and this made handling difficult but, The Black and Whites got back into the contest on the hour mark as Joe Westerman and Richard Horne combined to get Tom Lineham flying in at the corner.
Two minutes from time it was game on when Aaron Heremaia's pass sent ex Rabbitoh Fetuli Talanoa over in the corner, and Ben Crooks landed the touchline conversion to cut the gap to just two points, but Warrington just about hung on to claim a much needed win.
Wigan Warriors 46
Tries: Manfredi, Thornley, O'Loughlin 2, Hampshire,
Bateman, Flower, Burgess, Farrell
Goals: Smith 5
Wakefield Wildcats 24
Tries: Lauitiiti, Kirmond, Fox, Lyne
Goals: Sammut 4
Att: 11,703
Wigan Warriors got their season up and running with a comfortable nine-try win over Wakefield Wildcats at the D.W. Stadium.
After travelling to the other side of the world, Wigan made eight changes from the side which lost to Sydney Roosters last week.
Wakefield were hoping for a win after two defeats to Salford and Bradford but it was the Warriors who opened the scoring on four minutes as winger Dom Manfredi went over out wide.
The Wildcats soon hit back to take the lead when Ali Lauitiiti barged over from 10 metres but this was short lived as Wigan blew their opponents apart with five tries in seventeen minutes.
Iain Thornley got things under way before skipper Shaun O'Loughlin then supported a break from halfway by scrum-half Matty Smith to score his first try and then jinked over for a second soon after.
It was all one-way traffic as Wakefield had no ball and they suffered further misery when Ryan Hampshire touched down Blake Green's crossfield kick and the fifth came courtesy of John Bateman who scored his first try since joining from Bradford.
But with only three successful kicks from Matty Smith, Wakefield struck back either side of half-time to cut the deficit 30-18.
A superb 90-metre break by Jarrod Sammut set up the position for Danny Kirmond to crash over five minutes before the break and Pita Godinet's interception got winger Peter Fox over four minutes into the second half as visitors got a foothold in the game
However, this was short lived as three further scores from prop Ben Flower, young winger Joe Burgess and Liam Farrell put Wigan out of sight with a 46-18 lead.
At least the visitors had the final say with a length of the field effort from Reece Lyne but it was the Warriors who claimed there first win of the season in only their second game.

Andrews Hosts ASDAL
Top HeadlinesDate: July 1, 2009
Website: http://www.asdal.org
The 29th Annual Conference of the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians (ASDAL) was held at Andrews University on June 20–25, 2009. The conference, "Partnering through Mentoring, Leadership and Research," drew international attendees representing libraries in Canada, the Philippines, South Africa, Jamaica, Mexico and Nigeria. The highlight of this conference was the approval of Adventist Resources2.0, a comprehensive one-stop Internet clearinghouse for resources about Seventh-day Adventists. The conference was coordinated by Josip Mocnik from Southern Adventist University, who is conference chair and president-elect of the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians, and Cynthia Mae Helms, the onsite conference coordinator from Andrews University.
Adventist Resources2.0 will provide full-text access to resources about Seventh-day Adventist beliefs, history, practices and lifestyle along with resources for nurturing spirituality and church growth. It will aid in the training and development of church pastors, leaders and laity around the world by providing access to a range of practical and scholarly works in the area of theological and pastoral education.
Larry Hardesty, founding director of the College Library Directors' Mentor Program, was the keynote speaker. Hardesty served as the president of the Association of College and Research Libraries and received the ACRL Academic Research Librarian of the Year Award. His keynote, "Pass It On: Mentoring via the College Library Directors' Mentoring Program," overviewed the mentoring program. Now in its 18th year, the program has matched mentors and mentees from 43 states. "There have been 257 first-year college library directors representing 223 institutions of higher education participating in the program," said Hardesty. He has had five Seventh-day Adventist librarians participate in the mentoring program as mentees and one of them as also served as a mentor. They are Cristina Thomsen, Southwestern Adventist University; Josip Mocnik, Southern Adventist University; Lee Wisel, Columbia Union College; Margaret von Hake, Columbia Union College; and Adu Worku, Pacific Union College.
Although Hardesty has worked with Adventist librarians in his program, this is the first time he has visited a Seventh-day Adventist university. "He was impressed with our campus, particularly the lawns and the flowers," recalls Helms.
Workshops and presentations were given by an array of attendees. First-time attendee Nicola Palmer from Northern Caribbean University, Jamaica, said this conference was "a wonderful opportunity" to present her paper, "The Role of the Christian Librarian in Postmodern Academia." Other international presenters were Yvette Sparrow from Helderberg College, South Africa, who talked about how she collected data for writing a book on the history of Helderberg Primary School; and Uloma Doris Onuoha from Babcock University, Nigeria, who presented a paper written by herself and Yacob Haliso on the mentoring practices in selected university libraries in Nigeria.
Interestingly, although Haliso was unable to attend, his former mentor, Cynthia Helms, presented his paper, "Factors Affecting Information and Communication Technologies Use of Academic Librarians in Southwestern Nigeria: the Leadership Role of Babcock University, Nigeria." Helms was Halisco's supervisor at Ethiopian Adventist College when she was head librarian and he was a student worker. Haliso eventually became assistant librarian, then head librarian of the college. He pursued a master's and Ph.D. in library science. Now, 20 years later, as head of the Department of Information Resources at Babcock University, Nigeria, the impact of that mentoring relationship is coming to fruition.
Several presentations addressed the three aspects of the theme: mentoring, leadership and research. Carlene Drake of Loma Linda University spoke about determining the worth of libraries; Terry Robertson and Lauren Matacio, both from Andrews University, presented their study on the correlation between library anxiety and information literacy; Warren Johns of Loma Linda University talked about finding free online Adventist books; Felipe Tan of Andrews University shared his mentoring experience at the James White Library; Steve Sowder of Andrews University demonstrated using Google Analytics to find demographics of a Web site; and Genevieve Cottrell, Stanley Cottrell and Marge Seifert, all from Southern Adventist University, discussed the concept of team leadership as applied at Southern's McKee Library.
The conference provided various venues of learning and sharing through pre-conferences presentations, breakout sessions, poster sessions, book displays and a chance to visit with local authors and see their works. Attendees also had the opportunity to visit the Horn Archaeological Museum on the campus of Andrews University; the Gerald Ford Museum, Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, and the Grand Rapids Public Library, all located in Grand Rapids, Mich., and the Adventist Historical Village in Battle Creek, Mich.
ASDAL continues to contribute to the Adventist church through the "Adventists and Ellen White Classification Scheme" (based on the Library of Congress Classification Scheme), the Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index and the Obituary Index. ASDAL facilitates discounted database subscriptions for Adventist institutions domestically and internationally through the ALICE Consortium (Adventist Library Information Cooperative). The Association offers the D. Glenn Hilts Scholarship to Adventists who have been accepted into graduate library school and who expect to study for one full academic year on a full-time basis. Learn more about the association at www.asdal.org.

Great circus idea. I think a circus playground in the Circus Arena area is a great idea. Wonderful for our own kids and a real attraction. How about the old fashioned pony rides and maybe a little train that goes around. There cou ld be a nice plaque that tells about the circus here in Venice. Let's see someone get behind this and really go for it. It's a great idea.
It can be fun. With the drivers that we have in Venice, the auto repair guys must be jumping for joy if the city gives us back-in parking. Also, people can get out their cameras and send it to YouTube watching people trying to back in the parking spaces. It could be fun.

Comprehensive Description
The Sockeye or Red Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) is native to northeastern Asia and, in North America, Arctic and Pacific drainages from Point Hope, Alaska, to the Sacramento River drainage in California. Landlocked populations are found in Alaska, Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. This species is relatively common in the northern part of its North American range, but rarer south of the Columbia River drainage. Although it has been widely stocked, most transplant attempts have failed to establish populations. (Page and Burr 1991)
At different periods in the life cycle, Sockeye Salmon are found in the open ocean and, typically, in lakes, which they reach by migrating up coastal streams. Landlocked Sockeye Salmon are known as Kokanee. At sea, these fish are metallic blue and silver, but spawning (breeding) adults are very distinctively colored, turning bright red with a green head. Adults reach a size of around 84 cm in length. (Page and Burr 1991).
Approximately the first half of a Sockeye Salmon's four to six year lifespan is spent in freshwater, while the second half is spent foraging in estuarine and marine waters of the Pacific Ocean. Sockeye Salmon migrate upstream to breed just once, then die. For detailed information on the biology and status of this species, including conservation issues, see this resource from the NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources.

You might want to consider passing on the Capri Sun pouch and toss a juice box or water into your kid's lunchbox, instead. According to WSOC-TV, a North Carolina boy found an unwanted source of protein in his Capri Sun drink: a worm!
The boy took a sip from the pouch and started choking after sucking something up through the straw. He then proceeded to pull a worm out of his mouth. Christina Stewart, his (justifiably) horrified mom, immediately called Kraft foods, Capri Sun's parent company. Kraft promised that they would refund her money.
PLUS: When Your Kid Eats Something Gross
The company also requested that Stewart send the questionable pouch—worm and all—to Kraft for investigation. But the mother had already taken the juice pack to her son's doctor, who sent it to a lab for testing. Kraft has released the following statement:
"We're very sorry Ms. Stewart and her little boy had such an unpleasant experience. Of course, without seeing the material, we can only surmise, but we believe what she's identified as a worm may actually be mold. Since our Capri Sun products are made without preservatives—a fact many moms like—if there's even a small hole in a pouch and air gets into it, mold similar to common bread mold can form. This is why we advise on the side of the box to discard any leaking pouches."
PLUS: How Gross is It? Your Germiest Situations Analyzed
Kraft claims that they have been made aware of other such complaints but when they examined the material, they found it was mold, not worms. However, a quick Internet search reveals YouTube testimonies and other reports of wormy Capri Suns, like this story by CNN.com, which includes a correspondence between a 21-year-old nursing student from Philadelphia and Kraft along with a photo. Yuck!
Have you ever found something surprising (and unwanted) in your food or drink? How would you handle the situation?

BOSTON — The other day after his first informal practice with the Bruins, Benoit Pouliot said he chatted with new teammate David Krejci about their vicious fight last season when Pouliot was still with the hated Montreal Canadiens.
After the Bruins' physicals and conditioning tests today at TD Garden (on-ice practices begin tomorrow), Krejci said even that wasn't necessary from the newest Bruin.
"It was nothing personal when we fought," said Krejci. "He wanted to fight, I wanted to fight him, that's what happened. He wanted to fight and there was no reason for him apologize to me or anything like that, it's nothing personal. It's business. That's what happens in hockey. We talked about it and he seems like a nice guy. I don't know him that well but I'm sure he's a nice guy."
The Pouliot fight was one of two Krejci engaged in during the season against Montreal. But it was the only one where he really had his lunch handed to him. Luckily for the Bruins, they don't need Krejci to be a bruiser, they just need him to be their No. 1 center. He says he's ready for another season of orchestrating the offense.
"Obviously there was a lots of games when the other team was making it hard on us, not just on the ice but they tried to throw us out of the game mentally," said Krejci when asked about life as the No. 1 center. "So I'm kind of prepared for it this year and it should be a fun year."

MARTINEZ — An expert witness called in the preliminary hearing of a husband and wife charged with the 2012 stabbing death of a Hercules woman testified Wednesday that the female defendant was as much a victim as an accomplice — a contention challenged vigorously on cross examination.
Tania Washington, psychologist Dr. Donald Dutton said, suffered from battered woman syndrome, traumatic bonding and psychic freezing, and was a psychological hostage held by her husband Darnell Washington after she helped him escape from San Bernardino County jail on Aug. 28, 2012.
Investigators believe that together, the West Covina residents engaged in a crime spree that included a shootout in which Darnell Washington wounded a San Bernardino sheriff's deputy, several car jackings and the murder of Ko, a 55-year-old former kindergarten teacher.
The hearing is to determine if the Washingtons should stand trial for Ko's killing.
Wednesday's strategy indicated a divide in the defense of Tania Washington, represented by attorneys Larry Barnes and David Headley, and Darnell Washington, represented by public defender Timothy Ahern. Questioned by Barnes, Dutton testified that shortly after marrying Darnell Washington, Tania Washington was subjected to sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
Even so, Dutton said, she stood by her husband after he was arrested following an attempted jewelry heist in 2012, even considering stripping to raise money for his bail.
"Here was a person who on the surface was suffering considerable psychological trauma," Dutton said of Tania Washington.
Prosecutor Molly Manoukian got Dutton to admit he based his professional opinion in part on Tania Washington's version of events, which he took at face value.
"If the facts are different, then the opinion might change," he said.
She also got Dutton to concede there is no eyewitness testimony to the alleged abuse Tania Washington suffered at the hands of her husband, and that "psychological hostage" and "psychic freezing" — a person's instinct to stay in a dangerous situation rather than try to escape — were not medical diagnoses.
Asked whether Tania Washington entered the residence where Ko was killed, Dutton said she told him she peeked in through the door from the garage to the house.
"And because you believed that, you didn't ask her if she killed Mrs. Ko?" Manoukian asked.
"Yes," Dutton answered.
The trial continues Thursday morning.

Topic: Galactic Colosseum
*This is like Battledome, but different. All characters are restricted to a Force user, but you can go beyond the entire Light side, Dark Side thing.
1. You may create any character you want. Clarify their name and species so others can follow their actions easily.
2. You can kill characters you create but you can't kill other people's characters unless they say they have been killed in battle with you.
3. You can have any weapon you want but you can only have what your character could physically carry - otherwise they wouldn't be able to move.
4. Be consistent, eg if someone says they blew up a building, don't suddenly be assaulting it.
5. If you have sustained many wounds you will have to either get medical help or eventually die.
6. Follow the storyline, sure add a few twists and turns but allow others to see where you want to go so they can help you get there.
7. try to keep numbers of Jedi, Sith, and Gray Jedi even.
8. Have fun.
Timeline: This RPG is set in the time of the Sith Empire, and of Naga Sadow.
Setting: Lorrd; a freezing planert with many large structures and temples, set mostly inside of a colosseum type building, but at times at the star-port or wilderness of planet's surface.
Story: The Sith are trying to see how much their power has grown, and so are holding a gladiator type tournament between themselves, the Jedi Order, and the Gray Jedi who didn't make it into the Jedi's Order. Each combatant that isn't of the Sith have been kidnapped and forced into the competition.
Name: Darth Übel (name is actually Darth, starts the Darth tradition; is not canon to the SW universe)
Species: Sith/Human
Weapon: Red, single bladed lightsaber
Appearance: Average height for a Sith, is muscular, but not too much, wears black armor that resmbles a mix of Mandalorian and Sith design. Wears cloak style robes, and has the hood cover his face at all times.
Darth stood in the star-port, waiting for the first transport of Jedi to come. He held is lightsaber at his side, ready to kill any that were still awake even after they had their sedation. The ship was in the atmosphere of Lorrd, but not yet within comm. range of the port. Darth stood waiting for any sign of a Jedi hi-jacking, and kept his body tense, ready to drag the ship out of existence. He smiled to himself. He was hoping he could shed some Jedi blood before the tournament began.

LONDON (Reuters) - The opposition Labour party, tapping into widening public anger over corporate tax avoidance, wants the government to push for new international rules to force companies to report profit and tax payments country-by-country.
Campaigners say the move, which is receiving increased support internationally despite strong opposition from business, would deter companies from shifting profit into tax havens where they have no staff or sales.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said corporate tax avoidance will be discussed at the annual summit of the Group of Eight leading industrial economies, which Britain is hosting next month in Northern Ireland.
He has urged companies to be more transparent but has only proposed voluntary measures.
Companies say country-by-country reporting would impose unreasonable administrative burdens.
But campaigners say firms fear being embarrassed by highlighting how they frequently pay low or no taxes in countries where they have big sales and how they report big profits in tax havens.
The standard could also lead to companies revealing that they earned no money in countries where they told investors they operated profitably.
Coffee chain Starbucks received broad political, media and public criticism in Britain last year after a Reuters investigation showed it assured investors the United Kingdom was a profitable market after telling tax authorities its operations lost money.
The European Union agreed earlier this year to force European banks to report profit on a country-by-country basis as part of measures to ensure they hold enough capital.
The U.S. and EU have also agreed measures to force companies in the extractive industries to publish tax and other payments to resource-rich nations, to reduce corruption.
Labour on Sunday issued a new policy document on corporate tax reform which backed forcing companies to publish figures on revenues, profit and taxes in each country that they operate.
Ernst & Young, one of the 'big four' accounting firms which audit most of the big multinational companies, has warned clients that country-by-country reporting may become a global standard unless they come up with an alternative.
Britain's CBI business lobby group has urged businesses to publish "narrative" reports explaining their tax affairs to the public.
A committee of UK MPs has accused Google Inc of "unethical behaviour" for avoiding tax by shifting profit from UK sales to an untaxed unit in Bermuda.
Google says it complies with tax rules in every country where it operates.

The Chinese government is afraid of the Internet and the network censors!
The Yahoo! site became inaccessible in many parts of China.
This was reported to the site Greatfire.org, which monitors the Great Firewall: the Chinese filtering system.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat: All Social Network foreigners were censored!
The Chinese government has realized that the only way to avoid what happened in the "Arab Spring," is to censor the Internet.
Social Networks: Facebook first, documented the revolt of what the Arab television censored.
But the technology is more powerful than any regime and dictatorship, and was born FireChat
to allow users of this App to communicate even without the Internet, or Wi-Fi connections.
FireChat had been created for the concerts and / or in situations where many people are concentrated in an area without the Internet.
And instead FireChat it has become the main communication tool for the protests in Hong Kong, China to democracy.
This app works both for iPhone and for mobile phones with Android and turns mobile phones in walkie-talkie. It also makes also send messages offline.
The only limit is that people with the app FireChat should be focused within 70 meters of distance between them.
FireChat works with Bluetooth.
Open Garden is the company that created it.
Download the app: Download FireChat
(Click the link above highlighted in blue)
FireChat began to spread in Asia, thanks to the "protest of sunflowers" in Taiwan.
In Hong Kong the app in a single weekend has been downloaded more than 100,000 times, in China.
FireChat, in the past, it has also been used by many users in Iraq, Iran, India, Brazil and Mexico.
If you think and exports to China, as well as other countries where reigns lack of transparency and democracy,
weigh up, before going to invest in these countries.
The freedom to communicate is priceless and is not a cost!
We are together in FireChat, and with the thousands of girls and boys, the "revolution of umbrellas", to Hong Kong in China who scream the word: democracy.

Obama meets with privacy, civil liberties panel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Taking steps to temper public concern, President Barack Obama held his first meeting Friday with a privacy and civil liberties board as his intelligence chief sought ways to help Americans understand more about the government's sweeping surveillance efforts.
The five members of the obscure Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board huddled with Obama for an hour in the White House Situation Room, questioning the president on two National Security Agency programs that have stoked controversy after the extent of U.S. phone and Internet records the government collects were publicly disclosed. Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough, and his top lawyer, Kathy Ruemmler, also joined the session.
David Medine, the board's chairman, said members urged Obama to give the American public a clear understanding of the reasoning behind the NSA's secret surveillance system.
They stressed "that every effort be made to publicly provide the legal rationale for the programs in order to enhance the public discussion and debate about the legality and propriety of the country's counterterrorism efforts," Medine said in an interview.
Obama has insisted the programs are subject to intense judicial and congressional oversight and says he's confident his administration is striking the proper balance between national security and privacy. Still, in an attempt to show Obama is serious about welcoming a public discussion about the proper balance, the White House said Obama and his aides would start meeting with a range of interested parties to talk digital privacy — starting with Friday's meeting.
"He certainly believes that we need to evaluate them consistently and debate them and make judgments about how we're striking that balance," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
The White House did not allow press coverage of the meeting. Members of the privacy board — a federal oversight panel that reviews anti-terror programs to ensure that privacy concerns are taken into account — left the White House without speaking to reporters.
Meanwhile, an effort was underway to determine whether more details about the programs could be declassified to facilitate greater public understanding of what the government can and can't do. The White House said that at Obama's direction, his counterterrorism adviser, Lisa Monaco, had asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to review possible declassification of opinions from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves the surveillance efforts.
Ahead of Friday's session with Obama, the privacy panel was given a classified briefing on the programs last week, and Medine said the group on Friday requested additional briefings about "the effectiveness and practical aspects of how the programs operate."
He said it was too early to say when the group would publicly release a planned report on its inquiry.
"We have a lot of legal and practical complexities to consider," Medine said.
The government has already lifted some of the secrecy surrounding the programs following disclosures earlier this month about their existence by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. But the legal opinions from the highly secretive court remain private.
The privacy board was created in 2004 but has operated fitfully ever since, given congressional infighting and at times, censorship by government lawyers. The board was dormant during Obama's first term and only became fully functional in May, before the NSA programs became public.

Child undernutrition remains a highly prevalent condition in low and middle income countries and a major portion of the global burden of childhood malnutrition is found in South Asia with an estimated 74 million children living with chronic malnutrition (stunted growth) in this region. This burden of malnutrition accounts for approximately 50% of under five child deaths in developing countries. The risk of child death is also related to the severity of malnutrition and progressively increases the more the child's growth deviates from WHO Growth Standard, e.g. children with height-for-age <-3 Z scores from the standard have a four fold increased mortality risk compared to children within one Z score of the growth standard mean. Underweight in children for 18.7% of the global disability-adjusted life years in children less than five years of age. Childhood malnutrition is a pervasive problem in Bangladesh with 43% of children less than five years stunted in 2004 and 38% in urban child populations. An establish approach to promoting appropriate breastfeeding practices is through the use of local peer counsellors to provide information and to support to mothers. A recent study has conducted on pioneering research on this approach in Bangladesh.. The main aim of the study is to use a Cluster Randomized Control Trial (CRCT) to collect high-level evidence of whether peer counselling of women to promote appropriate breastfeeding and complementary feeding can improve feeding practices, child growth and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in their children.
The investigators will use a community-based Cluster Randomized Control Trial (CRCT) to examine the impact of a peer counselling infant feeding education program starting in the third trimester of pregnancy to one year after delivery, to improve child feeding practices, child growth and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in their children. This will result in two study groups. The outcome assessments will be made on a cohort of infant-mother dyads measured at baseline and at follow up visits because the investigators expect a likely high correlation between baseline and follow up outcome measures, thus making this approach the most efficient study design. Outcome assessments will be conducted with all the mother-infant pairs recruited in the community clusters in the study, with an expected total of 1950 mother-infant days (975 in each treatment group). The peer counseling education will be offered to eligible pregnant women identified by household surveys over 3 months in each community cluster in the intervention group. Using a similar approach to recruitment, a cohort of mother-infant dyads, who will receive standard maternal and child health care programs, will be identified in the control clusters.
Data will be collected on anthropometry, feeding practices and hygiene and caring practices etc. The investigators will report the results for 2-sided 5% tests for the primary trial outcome. Secondary analyses will examine each outcome variable (stunting, height-for-age, feeding patterns, and mean nutrient intakes) taking account of the repeated measurements within children by using separate mixed models. The investigators will use linear mixed models for continuous outcomes (e.g. height-for-age Z) and generalized linear mixed models for non-continuous outcomes (e.g. logistic mixed models for binary outcomes e.g. percentage exclusively breastfeeding). It is expected that the publications from this research will have substantial impact on child health and will help with the development of public health nutrition policies for children in South Asia and will be widely cited.

The real estate network with the most market share has the most to offer homebuyers and sellers.
The sum total of all RE/MAX momentum, growth and Associate production over more than a quarter century is reflected in current RE/MAX market strength.
RE/MAX has already attained Premier Market Presence (PMP) in area after area across North America and is growing in market share in regions around the world. The organization has been the top-producing real estate network in North America for several years and is growing rapidly in Spain, South Africa, Israel, and other new international regions.
A measure of business leadership, PMP results from community-minded high-producing Associates giving superior customer service under a respected company banner. This formula for building market share breaks down into the following interdependent components of PMP. All of them together add up to Premier Market Share.
Premier Customer Satisfaction
The success of the network ultimately depends on each RE/MAX Associate providing unparalleled satisfaction to each of his or her customers. Advanced education, technological expertise and experience all translate into quality customer service. It's because of satisfied customers that about 70 percent of an average RE/MAX Associate's business results from repeats and referrals. Those sources of business account for about 30 percent of other agents' sales activity.
Premier Community Citizenship
RE/MAX Associates have always been among the leaders in their communities, devoting time and dollars to countless charities and local causes. Committed to their own personal charities, RE/MAX Associates and offices contribute tens of millions of dollars annually to their respective communities.
At the network level, RE/MAX sponsorship of the Children's Miracle Network is a prime example of RE/MAX community citizenship. One of CMN`s largest corporate partners, the RE/MAX network has raised $32 million for the charity. CMN helps seriously ill children through contributions to local hospitals. Its Annual Broadcast, which airs throughout North America, regularly generates millions of dollars for kids in need.
Premier Quality Professionals
As a group, RE/MAX Associates lead agents of competing companies in experience, education and production. They average more than 13 years of real estate experience and - across the network - hold a higher number of professional designations than agents of any single competitor. The average RE/MAX Associate out-produces competing agents three to one.
Premier Brand Name Awareness
The red, white and blue RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon logo is one of the most widely recognized trademarks in North American business and is spreading throughout global markets.
Premier Market Share
The interaction of quality Associates, public recognition of the RE/MAX name and logo, customer satisfaction and Associate citizenship result in transactions and leading market share.

Sailing around the world, gardening from sunup to sundown, long walks on the beach… Thinking about retirement can seem surreal and even silly when most of us are so caught up in the day-to-day grind of life. However, it is important to take time to think about it — and the earlier the better! — to develop a plan that will truly help you make your dreams for retirement a reality.
An easy way to think about retirement planning is to ask yourself — and your spouse, if applicable — the five W's: Who? What? When? Where? Why? Your answers will provide the basis to then answer the sixth and final question of how you will achieve your goals.
Who? Who are the most important people in your life? Your spouse? Your children? Your grandchildren? Your business partner? Your pastor? Yes, retirement is about what you want, but retirement planning should also include thinking about the future financial needs of your loved ones and any other financial goals you might have before and after retirement. And as unpleasant as it is, you should also consider the potential financial strain that your and/or your spouse's death, illness or long-term care could cause. Then consider the value (and cost) of using insurance products to protect your priorities and your family's well-being.
What? As in, what assets do you have to work with (savings, investments, property) and what other potential sources of income you might have in the future (such as Social Security, company pensions, inheritances, sale of real estate).
When? When would you ideally not have to work anymore? Until what age do you think you will work? It is good to have two retirement ages in mind so that you can have a savings target range rather than one number that may potentially be unrealistic.
Where? Where do you see yourself living in retirement? Do you want to stay in your home, downsize — or upsize? Do you imagine yourself staying local or moving to another state (or country) where the cost of living is more or less? Will you still have a mortgage?
Why? This is the most fun to think about. Why would you want to save for retirement? What would you do with your time and money if you had more of it? Travel? Remodel your home or buy a new one? Dedicate yourself to a hobby or learn a new skill? Spoil grandkids? Why is it important to ask yourself these questions? Because you need to have an idea of what your ideal retirement could cost over a period of time that might last 30 years. Then you can figure out the amount you need to save in the meantime in order to support your lifestyle and not outlive your money, taking taxes, inflation and your other financial goals into serious account.
Ok, so now for the final question: How? How will you save enough money to provide the income you need for a long, comfortable retirement and achieve other financial goals you and your family might have? The answer is likely a combination of funding retirement (401(k)s, IRAs), education (529s) and brokerage accounts, leveraging home equity, and purchasing annuities, life, disability and long-term care insurance.
Retirement dreaming can be fun, but retirement planning is serious business that deserves attention sooner than later. It may be worth the cost of working with a fee-only Certified Financial Planner (CFP) to go through these questions and others with you and develop a customized plan to help you and your family achieve your goals for retirement, before and beyond.

CEO's of all banks in America
I want to obtain a refund for an amount of $100.00 for transaction with adult rated website. I have found out that my original system of correct social life is against the material in this website. I am the the founder of this system of correct social life. Although the system is still maintained by me up until now, I feel there is a conspiracy by my haters to stop me from maintaining my system. If the CEO's of all banks in America does not follow my request, I shall never open any type of an account in a US bank.

Underskatement is looking for submissions for its 10th anniversary program.
Underskatement is a skater-run internationally touring film festival featuring the best (and shortest) in skater-made films. Underskatement will kick off our 2011-2012 tour with a premiere in San Francisco this November.
As in skateboarding, there are no rules as to what you can create. Underskatement is not a skateboard video and although we do feature some skate shorts, our programs have included narratives, documentaries, music videos, experimental shorts, sketch comedies, political commentaries, satires, animation and the occasional horror film.
We have no "academy", no Oscars and no entry fee. Underskatement is not a contest, but an art show curated by a few skateboarders who enjoy creativity. If you think your film is awesome, chances are we will too.
The program runs approximately 90 minutes, so we prefer entries under 5 minutes in length to maximize how many we can include. Multiple entries are always welcome.
Go to www.underskatement.com for more details and to download an entry form.
Send everything to:
2542 Folsom
San Francisco, CA
Do it! Deadline is September 30, 2011
