Ikea Act in all Regions adapted with the "Services" Directive - Update
Analyse The legislation on commercial activities has been adapted to comply with the "Services" Directive in all Regions of Belgium
When the "Services" Directive came into force in 2006, some issues have arisen about the Belgian law of 13 August 2004 concerning the permit for setting up commercial activities (hereinafter Ikea Act). We already mentioned this in a previous article on our website.
The criteria of the Ikea Act to deliver the permits were not compatible with the Directive.
New commercial establishments, whose net surface area exceeds 400 square metres, needed a socio-economic permit. Therefore, they had to undergo an economic test to consider their impact on the existing trade.
Following the Directive, it is forbidden to consider the impact on the existing trade because it consist in a test for economic needs.
Following the Directive, it is forbidden to consider the impact on the existing trade
The federal legislator has consequently adopted an amending law of 22 December 2009 which changes 3 of the 4 criteria provided for in the Ikea Act.
Those new criteria match the Directive in that which they are not a test for economic needs anymore but requirements objectively justified by overriding reasons relating to a general interest. The analysis is not about the impact on the existing trade anymore but about the protection of the urban environment.
As part of the 6th reform of the State, the Ikea Act is now a regional competence.
Each Region can now determine its own trade policy.
1. The legislation in the various regions on commercial activities
The Brussels Region was the first one to adapt its legislation in 2014, followed by the Walloon Region with its Decree of 5 february 2015, and finally the Flemish Region has provided a solution in 2016.
1.2 Brussels capital Region
In Brussels, the BWRO-CoBAT (het Brussels Wetboek voor Ruimtelijke Ordening (Du) - le Code de l'aménagement du Territoire (Fr)) was modified by the decree of 8 May 2014.
The Ikea Act is repealed since 1st July 2014.
Only one planning permit application is required instead of a socio-economic permit and a planning permit.
The new article 4/2 of the CoBAT states that authorities must show "a particular attention to the impact of projects of commercial establishment whose net surface area is above 400 square metre, especially as for the protection of consumers, safety; hygiene of places and surroundings; the traffic, access and parking conditions, as well as the integration of such projects into their urban environment".
Those criteria are compatible with the "Services" Directive.
The competent licensing authority is the municipality (surface area below 1000 square metre) or the Region (above 1000 square metre).
1.2 Walloon Region
In Wallonia, the legislation has been adapted thanks to the Decree of 5 February 2015 concerning commercial establishments.
According to article 44 of the Decree, the competent authority will have to focus on four criteria: protection of the consumers, protection of the urban environment, social policy objectives and contribution to more sustainable mobility.
One of the innovations is the creation of an "integrated permit", permit that, as the single permit, allows the issuing of only one authorisation for the three administrative policies (commercial establishment, town planning and environment).
The competent licensing authority is the Municipality (in case of a surface area between 400 and 2.500 square metre) or the Region (in case of a surface area above 2.500 square metre).
1.3 Flemish Region
In Flanders, the socio-economic permit will be replaced by the environmental permit as of 1 January 2018.
The Flemish Decree concerning the integral policy on commercial establishments has been finally approved by the Flemish Parliament and published in the Belgian Official Gazette of 29 July 2016.
The main novelty of this new Decree lies in the replacement of the socio-economic permit by an environmental permit for retail activities whose net sales area exceeds 400 m2.
However, the entry into force of the provisions of the decree applicable to this matter has been postponed until 1 January 2018.
Meanwhile, the Ikea Act remains applicable for the retail businesses in the Flemish Region whose net surface area exceeds 400 m2.
The fact that the Ikea Act is now a regional competence, has the advantage of putting an end to the overlap of the federal and regional competence concerning commercial establishments.
Regions have the liberty to adopt the rules they feel appropriate to lead their policy in relation to the retail and distribution trade.
As for the respect of the "Services" Directive, the criteria used to deliver the permits seem to be compatible with reservations concerning the Flemish draft legislation. We will have to obtain more details about the role of municipalities.
If the single permit is definitly a good news, we can have some doubts about the respect of the "Services" Directive.
The municipalities will be able to impose restrictions of range to the shops. Even though we do not really know their actual room for manoeuvre, it could be appropriate not to let the municipalities use some economic criteria when they take a decision that restricts services market access. Indeed, the question arises wether they will have the competence to, for exemple, limit clothes and shoe shops in the center of a city, or to determine that a trader selling beds may no longer sell other furniture.

A new report has just been published by MN Community Measurement that allows consumers for the first time to compare the cost of care at medical groups across the state. Costs from more than 1.5 million patients were included in the report, which is the nation's most comprehensive look at the total cost of care. Information is available for 115 medical groups, representing 1,052 clinics across Minnesota and in neighboring communities on MNHealthScores.org.The average monthly cost of medical care per patient is $435 and just a small reduction could save millions. A reduction in the average per patient cost of just $12 per month, or $144 per year, would save Minnesotans $750 million in health care costs annually.
Total Cost of Care is a National Quality Forum (NQF)-endorsed methodology, which includes all costs associated with treating commercially-insured patients, including professional, facility inpatient and outpatient, pharmacy, lab, radiology, behavioral health and ancillary costs. NQF is considered the gold standard of health care measurement.
The total cost of care is the full cost – paid by both patients and health insurance companies. The amounts have been risk-adjusted and outlier costs have been removed to create a level playing field for all medical groups so true differences in cost can be evaluated.
This report includes data based on 2013 claims from the four health plans in Minnesota with the largest commercially-insured populations: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, HealthPartners, Medica and PreferredOne. The health care costs evaluated for this report totaled more than $8 billion.

Our Stormin Norman (SAR 7/23/16 – Race #2 – #7 – 1 1/16 on the turf) = Julien Leparoux in the irons, and his mount was bumped soundly and squeezed back at the start. This son of Blame will have much more to offer with a cleaner trip and hopefully the odds board will be very kind for some payback.
Bronson (SAR 7/23/16 – Race #3 – #4 – 6f on the dirt) = John Velasquez in the saddle for Todd Pletcher. This was the (G-3) Sanford Stakes, and this son of Medaglia d' Oro broke his maiden at Monmouth Park in fine fashion as he stepped up the ladder. – It was a compact field of five and he was pinched back at the start and never got back into stride. – Team Pletcher will work out the kinks, and you can bet he'll receive some strong gate work to have him ready to roll.
Recepta (SAR 7/23/16 – Race #10 – #7 – 1 1/8 on the turf) = Johnny Velasquez was the pilot and his filly came in 1/1 (ITM) over the Saratoga strip. She was three wide on the first turn, three wide on the far turn, and four wide into the stretch to be beaten by a nose. – She had a great sightseeing trip of The Spa, and dollars to donuts next out she'll be more focused on getting her picture taken.
Grassarla (SAR 7/24/16 – Race #4 – #8 – 6 1/2 f on the dirt) = Luis Saez in the saddle for Chris Englehart. This daughter of Bluegrass Cat was 2nd in her first attempt getting off slowly brushing against the gate upon leaving. – She was the odds-on favorite this day and had the same troubles when they sprung the latch. Saez did his best to help her overcome the tardy beginning, but it was just too much to overcome. – If she comes out clean, you may cash at a very handsome price.
Llanita (SAR 7/24/16 – Race #6 – #3 – 1 1/16 on the turf) = Irad Ortiz had the call for Chad Brown, and this daughter of Rock of Gibraltar is bred to love the greensward. – Since she shipped in from France last September, she has been a fast closing machine. Her connections are red-hot and it is only a matter of time before she sees the winner's circle.
Romans Paradise (SAR 7/24/16 – Race #11 – #4 – 1 mile on the turf) = Javier Castellano was aboard, and this was his second start of the year. He is 2/2 (ITM) at Saratoga and was taken up sharply to avoid running up on the heels of rank horses. Once he found clear sailing, he was a day late and a dollar short getting his momentum rolling. – Maybe a little better trip may be just what the doctor ordered.
The opening of "The Spa" should be a national holiday, or at least a day off for horseplayers. They've been opening the doors since 1863, exactly one month after the Battle of Gettysburg. If you listen closely you may hear the sounds of past champions thundering down the stretch. But you'll have to find out for yourself and add this track to your racing bucket list.

Langham (7/15/16 – DMR Race #10 – #9 – 1 mile turf) – Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith up for John Sadler and this first timer made an explosive run on the far turn into average fractional times. Keep an eye for this guy next out as I think he's going to get better with every outing.
Bobby on Fleck (7/9/16 – BEL Race #1 – #5 – 6f on the main – Irad Ortiz was the pilot for Chad Brown and these guys do very good work as a team winning (27%). This first timer was pretty impressive and deserves a good play right back. He came into the race with a resume of bullet works and drew off strongly at the 3/16 th's pole to win by six lengths. He may be a nice play right back moving up the ladder.
Eloweasel (BEL 7/9/16 – Race #2 – #6 – 1 mile turf) Manny Franco's mount broke open the gate prior to the start and just stood there. Either the asst. starter gets a raise, or she just wasn't ready this day. Once the gates broke she was two wide early and ventured out in the six path rounding the far turn. We'll give her a pass on this one and look for a blockbuster price next out. Think of this as a teaching moment that will pay boxcars !
Economic Model (BEL 7/9/16 – Race #7 – #6 – 1 mile dirt) – Irad Ortiz and Chad Brown once again and this son of Flatter came in 4/5 ITM travelling over four different tracks. Ever since the dismal display in the (G-2) Tampa Derby, he has come back to reel off to straight wins. The barn looks to have her figured out and will be pointing to the Spa where he broke his maiden last year. Good things are coming from this guy.
Indygita (BEL 7/16/16 – Race #2 – #4 – 1 mile turf) – Irad Ortiz in the irons and his filly stumbled leaving the starting gate and was forced out wide at the 1/16th pole. Look for this gal to improve and get a better trip next out.
She Doesn't Mind (BEL 7/17/16 – Race #8 – #9 – 1 mile turf) – Javier Castellano in the saddle for Chad Brown and this race appeared to have her making up good ground. Go back and take a harder look and you'll see she was forced wide into the stretch and while trying to find her best stride was held up and blocked down the lane. She should give the fits next time out.
Here are some runners you can keep watch to start building your Belmont Stakes bankroll.
Don Camillo (5/8/16 – Race #7 – #3 – 1 1/16 on the inner turf) – Javier Castellano was aboard and he came out bumping like a pinball when they sprung the gate latch. Once settled, Castellano started making a solid move only to run completely out of gas. – Maybe a cleaner trip with a class drop may be just what the doctor ordered.
Irish Actor (5/18/16 – Race #4 – #8 – 6f turf) – Cornelio Velasquez in the irons for Linda Rice, and this daughter of Patriot Act was making her first start in 7 months. She was dead last and came weaving through traffic for a solid fourth place effort over the quick turf. Give her a little more ground or a cleaner trip and it could be just what the doctor ordered.
Promotional (5/18/16 – Race #8 – #5 – 1 1/4 turf)- rider Junior Alvarado had the call for the "mad genius" Thom Proctor. She had the best of trips and came flying like a down hill train. Once she arrived at the 1/8th pole, she was forced to take up sharply taking away all momentum.
Sugar Kate (5/21/16 – Race #5 – #7 – 1 1/16 on the main)- Channing Hill aboard for trainer Tim Glyshaw, and his mare was in tight and pinballed around at the start. Once she settled out and regained her momentum, she was forced to angle out and forced to steady once again. – Keep her in the clear and Team Glyshaw gets their picture taken.
Blast (5/6/16 – Race #2 – #2 – 6 1/2f) – Corey Lanerie in the irons for Eddie Keannelly and this ultra-tough runner was scooting right up the inside rail and was shut off. The rider did an excellent job keeping him rolling, but shut-off still the same. There was an objection into the race and this horse-for-the-course filly was a bridesmaid after the decision was made. Next up she'll probably take a new path right to the winner's circle.
Lewis Bay (5/6/16 – Race #11 – #3 – 1 1/8) – Irad Ortiz in town to ride for Chad Brown, and this gal looked like a sure fire winner staying on the rail waiting a glimpse of daylight. I would have doubled down on her if possible by looks alone, but when she had her seem. She just faded down the lane. I don't know if she couldn't match Cathryn Sophia, or it was just a bad day. Either way, she'll get my bankroll play next out.
Harmonize (5/6/16 – Race#10 – #1 – 1 1/16 on the turf) – On the Kentucky Oaks undercard, Junior Alvarado was up for Bill Mott, and she stumbled badly at the start on this day. She made a nice four wide move to get minor awards, but the gate break took quite a bit of momentum away. – Look for a huge turf effort next time to the races.
Dynamite Stick (5/18/16 – Race #5 – #7 – 5f turf) – Marcelino Pedroza for Mike Lauer, and his mount tracked in the 2nd flight and had to take off heels at the top of the lane. He picked it up smartly and came rolling late to lose by a dirty nose at the wire.
Misdeed (5/8/16 – Race #8 – #7 -1 1/16) – Santiago Gonzalez was aboard, and his runner saw every inch of the track on this day. – He was three deep from the start, five wide on the second turn, and three wide down the lane. – Take away the extra 1/4 mile, and you will see a different runner.
Big Gillette (AQU Race #4 – 3/12/16 – #2 – 1 mile and 70 yards dirt) – Kendrick Carmouche had the assignment for Rudy Rodriguez and his mount bobbled badly at the start and he recovered quickly to assume the lead and set the pace. The pace was quick and he tired down the lane to finish 3rd. A clean trip makes him hard to catch next out.
Send it In (AQU Race #5 – 3/12/16 – #1 – 1 mile and 70 yards dirt) – Manny Franco in the irons for Todd Pletcher. This son of Big Brown stumbled at the break, and immediately picked up his game and set a solid pace. He was the winner of this race, and you'll want to keep him on your "play right back" list as he showed incredible maturity recovering and getting his mind on business.
Best Play (AQU Race #7 – 3/12/16 – #2 – One mile dirt) – Manny Franco in the saddle, and his mount was knocked around quite a bit after the gate break. He recovered, and showed a nice closing punch going three-wide around the far turn. I like the rider, and the trip shows good promise for players at the windows next up.
Skippy is Back (GP Race #2 – 3/12/16 – #5 – 6f dirt) – Vicente Gudiel was the pilot, and filly was pin-balled around leaving the starting gate. The rider got his filly to settle nicely and made a very nice four wide move around the entire far turn to show good late punch at (7-1). You may see some nice value here next time she takes the track.
Put It Back Jack (GP Race #5 – 3/12/16 – #6 – 6f dirt) – Eddie Castro's mount was bumped around leaving the gate and pressed a solid pace. He was a "beaten favorite" this day after drawing off by three lengths, and punters from around the globe like to hammer runners looking for some pay back next up off this angle.
As you watched the last of the turkey scraps turn into doggie treats, you sit back with a grateful smile on your face. Not only will this be the last you'll see of turkey until Christmas, you had a mega-dose of watching the two-year-olds strut their stuff around the country. It was that kind of weekend where we get a small glimpse of what awaits in 2016. – It won't be long now until you'll start hearing the names of your favorite three-year-old stakes start going to post. Now before you start drifting off into your tryptophan-turkey coma, take a gander at the runners listed below. They had a tough day at the races, and need an extra helping of keeping your eyes peeled when they make their way to the starting gate.
Scout it Out (Aqueduct – 11/18/15 – Race #7 – #2 – One mile on the turf) – RIDER Luis Saez in the irons for Wesley Ward, and this pace setter did everything right. She was 10-1 and cut the fractions all the way around, only to be met by a 1-2 shot trained by the red-hot Chad Brown. She did nothing wrong, and hooked a much better filly. Same race, same style, and hopefully same price. She'll give them fits from gate break to the wire.
Reload (Aqueduct – 11/21/15 – Race #8 – #10 – one mile on the turf) – John Velasquez gave a solid effort stalking the leaders and made a strong move at the 1/4 pole. He was forced to swing three-wide, and made a good attempt down the lane to finish 3rd. – Johnny V. hooking up with "Shug" can be a good thing, and I think we'll see an improved effort next out.
We Did (Aqueduct – 11/21/15 – Race #9 – #3 – 7f on the main track) – Francisco Arietta had the call for Leah Gyarmati. This runner was box cars at (77-1) and was pinched back hard at the start. After correcting his mount, he dropped over to the rail to save ground. At the top of the lane the rider shifted his runner into the four path, and ran an even race down the lane to finish 5th. – This may not be the next stakes winner you'll see, but that kind of price is worth a real look to finish off exotics. – Give extra points if there is a rider change to a higher percentage boot in the irons.
Island Therapy (Aqueduct – 11/28/15 – Race #6 – #1 – Mile on the turf) – Irad Ortiz had the call for the red hot barn of Rudy Rodriguez, and this runner was enjoying a picture perfect ride from Ortiz until the 1/4 pole. He had to take up and clipped heels as he swung three-wide for the stretch drive. A little better trip has him right on target.
Voodoo Storm (Churchill Downs – 11/18/15 – Race #6 – #1 – 1 1/16 on the turf / 1 1/16 on the dirt) – Calvin Borel in the saddle for Joe Woodard fresh off the claim. Woodard wins (22%) off the claim, and he brought a runner who was claimed for the green. When it came off the turf and was contested on the main course. This became a big play back for a barn that is winning (24%) on the year and (57%) ITM. – Borel made a six wide move around the turn showing interest, but rolled it up on this day to finish 4th. – Right back on the greensward may be the answer.
Pow Wow Pal (Churchill Downs – 11/18/15 – Race #9 – #13 – 5f on the turf / 5f on the dirt) – Albin Jimenez had the call, and the turf sprint was contested on the main track. This runner for the Wesley Ward barn angled off the rail nicely when the real running began. – The late kick was solid to finish 3rd, and I can't wait until Ward brings his runner back to the turf. If the rider stays aboard, pay extra attention as he is one of the hidden gems in the saddle no matter where he hangs his tack.
Mo Tom (Churchill Downs – 11/28/15 – Race #11 – #10 – 1 1/16 on the dirt) – Corey Lanerie in the irons for this son of Uncle Mo. He broke from the outside post and was dead last most of the race. As the field passed the 3/8th's, he kicked into gear over the sloppy track and was flying along the rail. As they straightened for home he looked in fine shape skimming the paint and hit the rail about the 1/16th pole. – When two-year-olds have a set back like this, you can usually call it a wrap and wait til' next time. – I can't wait for Thom Amoss to bring this runner back to the races.
Seek Again (Del Mar – 11/27/15 – Race #8 – #4 – 1 1/16 on the turf) – Jose Lezcano aboard for Bill Mott, and these guys know how to get a turf runner to the winner's circle. In this G-2 affair, Lezcano had to put on the breaks at different times during the race. He is one of the most under-appreciated turf riders in the country and deserves a big time look the next time this runner takes to the greensward.
Serbian Syclone (Del Mar – 11/21/15 – Race #4 – #9 – 5f on the turf) – Victor Espinoza had the call for Peter Miller, and saved ground and waited patiently. When he swung off the rail he looked to have more in the tank as the speed was unable to catch. Espinoza didn't use up his mount, and saved plenty for the next effort out. – Be of the lookout for this tandem, and hopefully you'll get near the price of (18-1) next time out.
Red Zone (Fair Grounds – 11/28/15 – Race #9 – #2 – One mile and 70 yards) – Leandro Goncalves in the saddle for Jeff Thornbury. He was under a hammer-lock most of the race, and when he worked off the rail he had to take up in hand once again forcing him to slam the brakes on many times while in tight. – Give him half a path and he'll make a direct path to the winner's circle next time out.
D'BUNNYPHONE (Race 5 at Aqueduct, Nov. 13, maiden claimer) – Expected pace setter lost best chance when stumbling badly at start. Was rank while 3 wide on the backstretch. Proceeded to make strong middle move, while again three wide on the far turn, but flattened out in stretch drive in race won by favorite.
BLUE PIGEON (Aqueduct – 11/14/15 – Race #4 – #2 – 1 1/16 turf) – Jose Ortiz in the irons for Linda Rice, and their runner was "pocketed up" forcing Ortiz to step on the breaks taking a strong hold of his mount. He was in the "box" for a good portion of the race and had to wrangle back his mount wearing him down. – Once he slipped though late in the lane, he showed good acceleration after being wrangled back most of the race. – A cleaner trip has him right there next out.
WAR DANCER (Aqueduct – 11/14/15 – Race #7 – #3 – 1 3/8 on the turf) – RIDER Jose Lezcano had the call for Bill Mott. These guys know how to bring a turf runner ready. He hit the stall briskly leaving the starting gate, and still established the lead. He was in hand and not asked for his best in the two path as the skilled efforts of Lezcano slowed down the fractions to his liking. When the real running began, he ran in lock step with a challenger and weakened in the late stages of the race. – When you have a tough exit from the gate, this can be a taxing effort to overcome. Lezcano is one of the best turf riders, and with a little better start, he'll jump to the lead and put them sleep all the way to the winner's circle.
JUJU'S MOJO (Race 8 at Del Mar, Nov. 12, 2yo Fillies, 6 furlongs dirt) – Maiden claimer and 2nd time starter got an indecisive and overall poor ride from jockey Ty Alexander. Once she got clear sailing, she finished well for a sneaky good 3rd place showing. Trainer Phil D'Amato will her ready to win next time out.
WALKABOUT (Churchill Downs – 11/14/15 – Race #5- #6 – 6f dirt) – This filly was a sweet 37-1 when the gates opened. – She was slow coming away from the gate, and this being her first effort as a two-year-old was a good learning experience. She angled off the rail to be in the seven path, and finished in high gear down the lane to finish third. – There is nothing like "baby" showing a good finish to get you chomping at the bit for her next trip out.
Horse racing circuits are shifting ovals, and the turf racing countdown has begun for many tracks entering the winter months. Racing fans can don't need a calendar. They can tell you what month it is by the tracks that open their doors. As leaves begin dropping from the trees and holiday commercials start appearing. There's no need to worry. Thoroughbred action is hot all year long!
In the meantime, here are a few goodies to get your inner-horse player cranked up. The runners listed below had a troubled trip, a bad break, or didn't have the chance to give their best effort. For handicappers, anytime we identify troubled runners. They may make for an excellent wagering opportunity next out.
Midnight Champagne (Belmont Park – 10/20/15 – Race #1 – #2 – 6f on the dirt) – Abel Castellano was in the saddle, as many big name riders were already at Keeneland for Breeders' Cup. His filly broke outwards at the start, and checked up off heels at the 7/16's mark. If there is a cleaner effort next up and possibly a rider change. Please pay full attention as the connections may have felt there could have been a better effort.
Converge (Belmont Park – 10/30/15 – Race #7 – #10 – One mile on the turf) – Jose Ortiz had the call for trainer Chad Brown, and his colt broke from the outside #10 post. He spun 4 wide at the back of the pack adding to his distance travelled, and commenced a bid at the top of the lane. He was 7 wide down the lane and put in a very strong effort to finish second. – The field ran a mile in this race, and he may have covered a 1 1/16. If he is able to save ground at any point next out, he'll be a tough customer.
Trifecta (Del Mar – 10/29/15 – Race #5 – #4 – One mile on the turf) – James Graham was aboard, and he is a very solid turf rider. The charts read he couldn't summon up the necessary response. But, as our late-friend Mr. Paul Harvey used to say; "And now for the rest of the story." – He was forced to check- up off heels, and Graham had to steady at different times during the race. He floated out for run at the top of the lane, and still didn't have a clear path. – Some runners just call it a day when forced to be driven, ridden, or stop their momentum. He was (16-1) on this day, and I'll bet you'll get just as much next time out.
Officer Griffin (Keeneland – 10/30/15 – Race #1 – #2 – 6f on the dirt) – Corey Lanerie was in the irons for Joe Sharp, and his colt was slow away from the gate and soundly hit Bump Hard. Once he was able to regroup his runner, he had to wait behind runners as he was attempting to save ground and slide in between runners. he offered up a solid bid and finished 3rd on this day. The track was playing very fast and any hesitation can be the difference in running 3rd and winning. – Next time out he'll benefit from this race.
Fundamental (Keeneland – 10/30/15 – Race #4 – #3 – 1 1/8 on the turf) – Jockey Irad Ortiz had the call for Chad Brown, and his colt saved ground all the way around ready to kick in down the lane. He looked ready to roll at the top of the lane and was forced to check briskly at the 1/8th pole. This really took him off his game, and as Brown is his go-to-guy, you can bet he'll find a smoother trip next out.
Mshawish – Ran a very sharp race in the Forstardave Stakes until the last 70 yards. Not surprising, as it was his first race since late March, the tote board action was a little cold, and there are bigger fish to fry, like the $2 Million Breeders' Cup Mile. The fact he showed some life after Dubai is encouraging, as many horses never come back from the trip. Certainly one to follow in the late summer and into Fall.
Governor Malibu (Saratoga – 8/19/15 – Race #2 – #9 – 6f) – Joel Rosario had the call, and was bet down to (5-1) and beaten by a solid (3-5) shot. This fits the angle of "running a winner's race and finishing 2nd." – Todd Pletcher does very well with second up runners and if the first race is any indication, I think we'll see plenty of upside with his second outing.
Life Imitates Art (Saratoga – 8/22/15 – Race #6 – #5 – 1 1/16 on the turf) Irad Ortiz was in the irons for his go-to-man Chad Brown. They do really good work as a team, and this two-year-old led all the way around and was running green down the lane. – Ortiz couldn't convince his mount to stop tossing his head about, and cocking it to the outside down the lane. He was bet down as the big chalk, and you can bet dollars to donuts that Chad Brown will have this all worked out for the next start. Oh, and after looking around and acting like a toddler, he only finished a neck back from the winner.
I'm a Chatterbox (Saratoga – 8/22/15 – Race #10 – #4 – 1 1/4 on the dirt) – Florent Geroux had a rough trip, and his filly is ready for another chance to fight. – She lunged at the start and bobbled a bit, and in a quality field that can put out your lights quick. Once she got into the bit, she looked all systems were go until she was fanned out wide making her run. She lugged in down the lane and just couldn't get to the winner on this day. – Most handicappers will dismiss her effort and look elsewhere. I'll be keyed on her in a big way hoping for a better price and a cleaner trip.
Como Luz (Belterra Park – 8/20/15 – Race #6 – #3) – There was a gate malfunction, and the #2 & #3 gates did not open on time. Como Luz was forced through the gates by his rider Christian Rojas after spotting the field about 15 lengths. He was far back in the field, and I dismissed the race to toss in the trash heap until they started nearing the 1/4 pole. – Como Luz had made up ground very quickly and finished strong to run third. This handicapper is waiting to see the Angel Quiros barn wheel the runner back to the races. He appears to relish the oval, and after he was declared a non-starter. I'm going to dive deep into multi-race exotics to find value.
Draw Nigh (Belterra Park – 8/22/15 – Race #6- #6 – 5f on the turf) – First off the layoff, and the colt was cutting back in distance and making the dirt-turf switch where the barn wins (25%). – He was in perfect striking position and was fighting to work off the rail. Perry Ouzts kept him in the pocket forcing him to seek a spot along the rail that never opened. The rider choked up on the reins, and appeared to wait for another day. I think that day will be his next start on the greensward.

Q: How to analyze the solution of the differential equation? This is a mcq question and asks me to check whether the solution of
$\frac{dy}{dx} = a.y(x) - by^2(x) $ where $y(0)=y_0$ and $ a$ and $b$ are positive numbers.
(A)If $x \to \infty$ then $y \to \frac{a}{b}$ if $y_0>0$
(C) if $y_0=0$ then $\lim_{x \to \infty} y(x)=0$
(D) if $y_0<0$ then the solution is unbounded when $x$ tends to some value.
We can convert this equation to linear by taking $z = \frac{1}{y}$
Then the solution is $\frac{1}{y} = \frac{b}{a} + (\frac{1}{y_0} + \frac{b}{a}).e^{-ax}$
Case 1: If $x \to \infty$ then $e^{-ax} \to 0$ then $y \to \frac{a}{b}$
Case 2: If $y_0 =0$ then $y = \frac{y_0}{\frac{b}{a}y_0 + (1+y_0.\frac{b}{a})e^{-ax})} = 0$
Case 3: if $y_0 < 0$
Assume that $y_0 = -1$ then at $x = \frac{ln(1- \frac{b}{a}) + ln(\frac{b}{a})}{a}$ we see that $y$ tends to $\infty$
So i think all the options are true.

Anyone sat part II with <12 months G.A.P.?
I think I have been confused/misadvised..
My application is in for Part II - after 24 months psychiatry jobs, using some considerable previous experience in paeds to make up the '30 months minimum'.
Anyone know if they'll let me do it? - is this a bendy rule, especially in view of 3 and a half years previous SHO experience and membership in Paeds?
I have had a similar predicament. &nbsp:lol:ue to a lack of knowledge re: Part II requirements, I had only completed 6 onths general adult prior to my application for the exam. My clinical tutor was really supportive and wrote a letter to the exams professor at the College. &nbsp:lol:etailed adult on call, significant functional component to then current OA job etc etc.
Upshot was that I have been accepted to do the exam (although revision ain't too great!).
Ahh - the rules DO bend after all.
I'm still waiting to find out..and finding getting motivated to study - really study - is hard.
Now I've got a bit more hope, I think I'll go and study the structures of the posterior fossa to celebrate. Ha ha.
My advice is not to sit and wait for the college to tell you you're eligible. I have seen several people now who were confirmed to be eligible only two weeks before the exam and their stress levels rocketed! I also agree that you should ask your supervisor or clinical tutor to support your application. Just to finish on a cynical note - the college would rather accept your money to sit the exam and hope you have to resit it and pay again, than say you aren't eligible!
I am full steam ahead studying for an exam I may not be allowed to sit, and have been for some time..
I see very little of my wife and baby daughter.
Its three weeks to go, and no confirmation as yet.

Oh, All the Places Tessa Goes
Tessa Klein's passion to learn more about dairy cow veterinary medicine has led her to adventures literally around the world.
The fourth-year veterinary medicine student has traveled to New Zealand, Australia, Vermont, North Dakota, California and places in between with the sole purpose of enhancing the education she has received Iowa State's College of Veterinary Medicine.
"I do like to travel," the Nebraska native admits, "but my primary goal is to further my career interests."
Klein, who is a 2+2 student who spent her first two years in veterinary school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is interested in dairy cattle. She's tracking large animals in the College of Veterinary Medicine, which has allowed her to travel the world to learn how veterinarians across the globe deal with dairy cows.
Her first significant trip of her fourth year included two-week preceptorships in both New Zealand and Australia.
"I was able to do these by networking," she said. "My experiences traveling have taught me the importance of knowing and valuing people. People are nice if you let them be. People are naturally kind and eager to share their world with those sincerely interested. If you truly appreciate their country's culture and build good relationships, they are more than willing to welcome you to their farms and homes."
Klein's networking began in New Zealand, a country where she spent six months studying abroad as an undergraduate student. A former professor in New Zealand connected her with a clinic she describes as "progressive with ample opportunities for learning."
Klein timed her two weeks at the Veterinary Centre Oamaru to coincide with the calving season in New Zealand. The mixed-animal practice provided her a hands-on experiences not only with dairy cattle but with treating domesticated deer too.
"I would ride with a different vet every day going out on calls," she said. "I was able to see different perspectives and learned from some very qualified veterinarians."
This was Klein's first time working with deer as the clinic tested the animals for tuberculosis, a yearly requirement for domesticated deer in the country. She described the animals as "in-heat, very high-strung beef cows…times 10.
"I quickly learned to read their body language. If their head or hackles came up, or they faced you, you had to step away to let them cool down."
While Klein had contacts in New Zealand, that wasn't the case in Australia. She was discussing her upcoming trip with Dr. Molly Lee, a veterinary specialist in the Center for Food Security and Public Health at Iowa State, and Lee said she had an Iowa State classmate whom was practicing in Australia, along with his wife, another ISU graduate.
A few e-mails later and Klein had another two-week preceptorship scheduled at the Warrnambool Veterinary Clinic, a mixed animal clinic with Iowa State alumni Drs. Ben and Erica Schmidt.
"They were very kind and said 'sure, stay with us and work in our clinic for two weeks,'" Klein said. "I did a lot of the same work as I did in New Zealand, since the practice was in a largely dairy area."
Since her return to the U.S., Klein has embarked on additional preceptorships with veterinary clinics in North Dakota, California and Vermont as well as a week at the diagnostic laboratory at the University of California-Davis.
In Vermont, she was hosted by Dr. Kent Henderson, another Iowa State veterinary graduate, a connection she made through previous summer work with Dr. Scott Armbrust, yet another ISU graduate.
"To do what I was able to do, all the traveling, all the smart generous people I've met and learned from, has been a blessing," Klein said. "It's almost like I've been backpacking across Europe but with veterinary experiences instead of sightseeing."
Throw in a pair of weeks at the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center and additional preceptorships scheduled at clinics in Nebraska and Iowa and you would think that's all the travel Klein has scheduled.
"I still have time at the end of the semester, so there may be more travel in my future," she said. "I'm eager to join the profession and invest in students like so many have invested in me."

How does global warming affect hunting season?
by Julia Layton
The Hunter Become the Hunted
An elk cow shot in Sweden is transported to a road. Big game hunting is facing threats from warming temperatures.
Sven Nackstrand/AFP/Getty Images
Perhaps one of the hardest hit hunting groups in the world are the Inuit peoples of Alaska (known there as Eskimos), Canada, Greenland and Russia. These cold-weather populations have hunted polar bears for centuries. It's a way of life -- Inuit still hunt polar bears for food and skins. But with declining polar bear populations, Inuit are watching thousands of years of tradition melt away. They're also facing serious hunting dangers that were never part of the process, like hunters falling through ice that should have been solid until the end of the season.
It's not just the polar hunters who are running out of prey, though. People who wait all year for warmer-weather hunting seasons are increasingly disappointed. All of the popular game are affected, including fish, birds and big game.
Big game like moose, deer and elk, in places as diverse as the Midwest, the Rocky Mountains and Arizona, are facing numerous threats from warming temperatures. First, one of the greatest checks on the spread of parasites and insects is cold weather. With temperatures rising, more disease-carrying insects and parasites are infecting entire herds. And their food is affected, too: Big game live on plants. When plants are exposed to too much carbon dioxide, their nutritional value decreases, and they become harder to digest. Even herds that have plenty to eat could end up starving from malnutrition.
Mammals like deer and elk aren't the only ones facing starvation. Saltwater fish like spotted sea trout and certain types of snapper and grouper -- very popular with hunters -- are looking at a possible reduction in their food sources. The young of many saltwater species spend their early development in marshy areas near the coast. As sea levels rise, these low, marshy areas disappear, replaced by higher water. Because developing fish rely mainly on the zooplankton and algae that thrive in these marshes, the reduction of these fish breeding grounds could result in serious population declines. Freshwater fish are in danger, too. One huge threat is the rise in sea level, which could cause saltwater to flood into lakes and rivers. As salinity increases, survival rates for freshwater trout and salmon decrease.
Bird survival is also hard-hit by global warming, and not just because warmer weather disrupts their migration patterns. Scientists are warning of a potential 30 percent drop in the number of bird species if warming trends persist [source: Seasons' End]. One effect of global warming is prolonged drought, and with drought, protective ground vegetation dies off. This leaves upland birds like quail and grouse increasingly exposed to predators and at a loss for proper breeding areas. Ducks and geese are facing huge population decreases, as well: Atlantic coast waterfowl could lose their habitat to rising sea levels, while those living in the Upper Great Lakes could see their habitat disappear to drought.
Climate change isn't just a future concern for the hunting community. Hunters are already seeing evidence of global warming's effects on their pastime. Hunting seasons are getting shorter and less productive, and tourism sites that rely on hunters for income are feeling the pain. One Inuit community in Canada sees more than $ 1.5 million from tourists who pay big money for a restricted polar-bear-hunting license [source: Tesar]. But if global warming patterns continue to progress, we'll be looking at a completely different hunting world. People who hunt southern-migrating waterfowl in Nebraska already face the possibility that their prey won't show up at all -- that they'll stop their flight in balmy North Dakota instead [source: Seasons' End].

Communication is pretty tricky in any relationship. If you want to share affection without blurting out "Hey, I like you!" to everyone you meet, a few of these body language tricks will help you be a bit more subtle.
Author Leil Lowndes explains in her book How to Talk to Anyone that non-verbal communication is essential to communicating your intent.
When you first meet someone, imagine they're your old friend. According to Lowndes, this will cause a lot of subconscious reactions in your body, from the softening of your eyebrows to the positioning of your toes.
An added benefit to this technique is that when you act as though you like someone, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy — you might really start to like them. Lowndes says, "What it boils down to is love begets love, like begets like, respect begets respect."
Body language is an art of its own, and micromanaging your every body movement might take up too much of your energy when you should be communicating. However, a few tricks can help. Lowndes also recommends using occasional eye contact with someone, even when you're not speaking directly to them, to indicate interest.
If someone you're interested in enters the room, turn directly to them, rather than giving a passing glance. Check out the source link for more easy-to-learn body language tips that you can try out.

SAGE edge offers a robust online environment you can access anytime, anywhere, and features an impressive array of free tools and resources to keep you on the cutting edge of your learning experience.
With the right information we can develop public policies that work better.
All too often, public policy textbooks offer a basic grounding in the policy process without the benefit of integrating the use of policy analysis. Since the first edition of Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and Alternatives, Michael Kraft and Scott Furlong have taken a different tack. They want students to understand how and why policy analysis is used to assess policy alternatives—not only to question the assumptions of policy analysts, but also to recognize how analysis is used in support of political arguments. To encourage critical and creative thinking on issues ranging from the federal deficit to health care reform to climate change, the authors introduce and fully integrate an evaluative approach to policy.
The authors begin the fifth edition of Public Policy with a concise review of institutions, policy actors, and major theoretical models. Then, they discuss the nature of policy analysis and its practice and show students how to employ evaluative criteria in six substantive policy areas. The text arms students with the analytic tools they need to understand the motivations of policy actors—both within and outside of government—and to influence a complex, yet comprehensible, policy agenda.
We gratefully acknowledge Michael E. Kraft and Scott R. Furlong for writing an excellent text. Special thanks are also due to Lora Warner for developing the ancillaries on this site.

Send a gift to remember with a personalised bottle of Asbach Uralt. It's a quality German brandy that's ideal for marking just about any special occasion. And with the help of our laser-engraving service, you'll be able to make your gift even more special; simply compose a message for your intended recipient and we'll have it etched into the glass on your behalf.
Uralt's history dates back to before the first world war. Since the drink first came to be, it's been created using only a select few wine distillations, and then aged for up to three years in limousine oak casks. It's got qualities you might associate with French casks, though this German offering is markedly fruitier. It's an ideal way to mark any upcoming birthday, promotion or anniversary, and once you've laser-engraved a personal message into the glass, it'll be even more so.
The aroma is fresh and packed with grapes and oak. The body, meanwhile, brings in darker, deeper fruit flavours, and a cracked-black pepper note that lingers well into the finish.

DigiTimes Says Nintendo To Start Mass NX Production Early 2017
June 2, 2016 3:44 pm Published by Mike Scorpio 2 Comments
There is never a shortness of news and rumours regarding Nintendo's next-gen console, the NX, and this time it comes from news website DigiTimes.com According to their sources, Nintendo is delaying mass production of the Nintendo NX until next year to accomodate the use of Virtual Reality into the console. They have also stated that Nintendo have also changed the initial order from 20 million units to just 10 million units, supposing that it is possibly due to the failure of success for the Wii U and the shrinking in numbers of those that still play on Home Consoles. You see the full extract of the article below;
Nintendo NX mass production postpones to early 2017
Aaron Lee, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Thursday 2 June 2016]
Nintendo's next-generation game console, the Nintendo NX is scheduled to enter mass production in early 2017, delaying about half a year from the company's original mass production plan in the mid-2016. Sources from the related upstream supply chain pointed out that the delay was because Nintendo wished to enhance the game console's video-game/handheld-game-integrated gaming experience and add virtual reality (VR) function into the system to gain advantages in the upcoming video game and mobile game competitions.
The Nintendo NX will be assembled by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), but Foxconn declined to comment on matters concerning its clients or products.
The sources pointed out that the Nintendo NX combines the video gaming experience with the mobile gaming experience. The device features a 5- to 7-inch display, controller and joystick for users to play as a mobile gaming product, but it is also able to connect to a TV for users to play as a video game system. Nintendo is now planning to add VR function to the device to satisfy the popular trend in the gaming market.
Nintendo's smartphone games have received positive feedbacks from gamers. Since Nintendo's launch of its Miitomo, the number of player of the game has already surpassed 10 million, while Nintendo's Animal Crossing, which involved social activities, also sold over 20 million units on the company's 3DS system.
The sources pointed out that the supply chain received Nintendo's notification to start developing mold for the Nintendo NX in the mid-2015 and was told that the system would enter mass production and launch in the mid-2016. However, Nintendo has recently given them a new mass production schedule and asked them to start mass producing some key components at the end of 2016.
Nintendo's order volume for the game console has also been reduced. Nintendo originally planned to order 20 million units for the first year, but its shipment target is now only 9.5-10 million units. The sources believe the reduction was due to the fact that video game console market has been shrinking and concerns triggered by its Wii U's unsatisfactory shipment performance of two million units in 2015.
Although Pegatron Technology has been aggressively looking to take some of the Nintendo NX orders from Foxconn, Nintendo still decided to give Foxconn over 40% of the orders, while the remaining is handled by Japan-based Misumi and Hosiden. Taiwan-based component suppliers for Nintendo NX include Foxconn Technology, Macronix International, Pixart Imaging and Delta Electronics.

Every time I hear about NX I just can't help shaking my head is dismay. A third party dev recently stated that they don't know what NX is and that they haven't received a dev kit. It appears that Nintendo hasn't learned from the Wii U.
Mike_Scorpio says:
I am seriously hoping for a big "Surprise" Reveal of the NX at E3. It is Nintendo's biggest opportunity to do so at one of the worlds largest events for electronics. To not do so would be like a shot in the foot with a double barrel shotgun, It will hurt like hell and leave them without a leg to stand on.

Ryan, Quigley (Maguire 54), Frost, Brennan, C Foley, Mulcahy, M Foley, Murphy, Rutherford, Keegan (Armstrong 76), Molloy (Quigley 81).
MAYBE this is the year when St Patrick's Athletic will lay some ghosts to rest. After being haunted by Longford Town in recent times, dumping the Midlanders out of the FAI Cup last night gave the 'Richer' regulars something to cheer about.
There hasn't been much of that going on at Inchicore lately, with doom and gloom the prevalent mood after a desperately disappointing run of league results. But all of that will be forgotten if John McDonnell's side can end the Saints' 45-year wait for cup success.
They're one game away from the final now. And with the pain of their Lansdowne Road defeat to Longford three years ago still relatively fresh, the locals took pleasure from ending the dreams of Alan Mathews' charges this time around.
You had to feel a bit sorry for the visitors though. Effectively, it was game over for them at half-time, chasing a two-goal deficit and down to ten men after 45 minutes during which they had created an equal amount of chances.
Undoubtedly, this wasn't the result cynical Saints fans expected as getting beaten by Longford has been the norm rather than the exception in the summer soccer era.
But the Dubliners set about putting that right from the outset, with hat-trick hero Trevor Molloy rolling back the clock by taking centre stage in the third minute.
Picking up a loose ball, the mercurial front man seized possession near the right touchline and raced inside before stopping and switching direction, leaving Longford defender Kevin Doherty in his wake before curling a delectable attempt into the top corner past the flailing Mick Dempsey.
It was just the start the game needed, but Longford responded in positive fashion. Within four minutes they could have been level but Dave Mooney's toe poked effort was inches wide of the post.
Further openings followed for Gary Cronin and Robbie Martin but they were all in vain as Pat's made what was ultimately the crucial break just before the half-hour mark. Right sided midfielder Murphy isn't the most popular player with the Inchicore faithful, but he breached the visitors' off-side trap and when he advanced into the area and was about to pull the trigger Danny O'Connor clipped his heels.
It was a no-brainer for Pat Whelan who awarded a red card to the Longford captain. Michael Foley slotted home the penalty with aplomb.
After that, it threatened to get ugly with a scuffle before the break. In fact, Whelan should probably have reached for his back pocket again after Alan Murphy's rash challenge on Mark Rutherford.
Looking on the positive side for Mathews, at least it showed his men had a bit of fight as their season was slipping away. But despite a promising start to the second half, their numerical disadvantage soon caught up with them and on the hour mark Molloy's deflected effort beat Dempsey after a Rutherford cross.
Robbie Martin pulled one back for Longford but it was not the start of a comeback. Instead it got worse when Whelan awarded another penalty for a contentious handball by Davy Byrne.
Molloy wanted to take the match ball home so he grabbed it and completed his hat-trick with a swagger as Foley stood aside.
Shortly afterwards, the Midlanders were down to nine when Byrne was given his marching orders after swinging his arm at Murphy. A sorry end to an evening they will want to forget.


The use of women as part of hit teams has been around for years. They have normally been used as surveillance scouts that can stand or sit in restaurants and bars for hours with out attracting undue attention. They can also scout out the best vantage points for attacking their targets. It was reported two such women had been used in the Cartel hit in McAllen Tx an number of years ago. They had also been used in the past as drivers for hit teams since just the sight of a young woman in a car would help avoid suspicion until it was too late. This would seem to be just an extension of the use of these female Cartel members. With the TV series featuring two good looking women as Cartel leaders, I am sure more than a few young ladies have aspired to have the high flying lifestyles portrayed in the TV show. For bodyguards and counter surveillance operators, this is not a new thing, terrorist groups have been using females as part of the their cells for years. The Bader Minehof gang romanticized the use of female terrorists, and their life was also portrayed on film back in the 80's. Another terrorist group, the Red Army Faction based out of Japan, also used women operatives to mount their attacks. One attack attributed to the Bader Mindhof Terrorist group was the use of a young lady pushing a baby carriage out into the road to block traffic, and set up a terrorist kidnapping and hit.

Tamar Braxton Reveals She Underwent Surgery to Have Rib Removed
December 16th, 2015 by KRNB
ABC/Ida Mae AstuteTamar Braxton has made a full recovery and resumed her hosting duties on Wednesday's The Real, where she detailed her health scare that ended her run on Dancing with the Stars last month.
After discovering she had blood clots in both of her lungs, Braxton reveals she also suffers from a condition known as thoracic outlet syndrome that forced her to undergo surgery to have a rib removed. The singer invited her vascular surgeon and cardiologist to explain that "she had to have the rib removed to remove the obstruction of her vein."
"Well, you know, Dancing with the Stars is the most fit I've ever been in my life," Braxton explained. "You know what I'm saying? There's not a time in my life I could remember eating a Big Mac and it not showing up on me the next day — because I was dancing five to six hours a day!"
